Chapter 38 Artillery Battle

I pulled off the deformed cannonball that was still stuck on my waist. This thing is really powerful. The blow just now was so powerful that my health bottomed out instantly. Even Lucky, Little Dragon Girl, Xiaofeng and the others, all eight of my magic pets have lost their health! Even so, I was still killed just now, but Xiaofeng's resurrection ability resurrected me once. Although I still had one-tenth of my health left, it was better than dying!

Based on the power of the attack just now, it is not a problem for this cannonball to penetrate 10 people. It seems that naval battles are mainly fought by ships. No matter how high the player level is, they cannot block the cannonballs! Just as I was thinking about it, another cannonball hit the deck guardrail, bringing up wood chips all over the sky and taking two of my sailors away with it! Damn, this is money!

"First mate! Where is the enemy? Do you see who is attacking us?"

"Report! Target found, direction 3 o'clock, distance 10 kilometers!" Before the first mate could answer, the lookout hand on the top of the mast shouted first.

"10 kilometers out of the 'shooting' range, our cannon can't reach him!" the first mate replied.

While I took off my boots and poured water out, I shouted to Ziyue on the front deck: "Turn the magic crystal cannon around, the enemy is over there!"

"I can't see clearly! There are too many ships, which one is the target?" Ziyue also shouted back. Wow, you should install a scope on the cannon!

"Turn the helm! Get closer!" I ordered the first mate.

The battleship quickly turned sharply to the right, and I saw with my own eyes a cannonball grazing the bow of the ship. Fortunately, the rudder was turned relatively quickly, otherwise he would have been shot again! I asked Bingbing to start playing her hymn of life to restore the health of my demon pets. If it weren't for the damn cannonball just now, I would have let Lucky go up and start the battle!

By the way, doesn’t Ziyue also have a sky fire? I immediately ran to the foredeck behind the turret and got in. Pulled Ziyue from the gun position. "You take Skyfire to attack the enemy ships, and leave the gun positions to me!"

"Got it!" Ziyue quickly rushed out to summon the sky fire and flew towards the enemy ship.

I sat on the gun position and turned on the far vision function of Star Pupils. I didn't expect that Star Pupils could be used in this way! After opening the Star Pupil, the target in front of you is quickly enlarged and you can see it clearly! when! A crisp loud noise accompanied by violent vibrations knocked me off the gun position! "What happened?"

I ran out of the turret but saw a shell stuck in the baffle of the turret. Thanks to the installation of a turret, otherwise our cannon would have shot into the sky if the shell had exploded!

After getting back into the fort, I started to use Star Pupil to search for the dense group of battleships ahead. A large number of battleships were entangled together. It was estimated that the total number was about 500, of which about 300 were Chinese. The number of Japanese warships is slightly smaller, but in terms of the battle situation, the Chinese side was beaten so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up! Japanese ships feel like they have standard equipment, and all warships have several fixed levels. Although the number of Chinese ships is large, they are obviously large and small, and they lack unified command. They can only barely support it until now because of the relatively large number of ships!

I soon saw the warship that fired at us, and I knew by guessing that it was the Long Island gunboat. The cannon with the extra-long extension tube on its front deck is so conspicuous that I can't think of any other ship that could fire a cannonball so far.

I asked you to fire cannons at me, so that you can have a taste of cannons! I aimed at the hull of the Nagashima and shouted: "Fire!"

Passerby A and Da Guo Fan fiercely pulled the gun door together, and a purple shell followed a long trail and flew towards the position of the Long Island.

The Chinese and Japanese fleets that were fighting on the battlefield simultaneously saw a huge cannonball flying over with a trail. Artillery shells did not leave a trail, so this strange cannonball was particularly noticeable.

The shell accurately hit the bow of the Long Island, and a loud bang was accompanied by wood chips all over the sky. A huge fireball rose into the sky. The magic crystal cannon successfully blew off the entire bow of the Long Island, including the annoying long-range cannon. ! The remaining parts have turned into several huge fragments and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea. With the help of Xingpu, I can clearly see the scattered fragments floating on the sea with a lot of shiny equipment exploded. Haha, this is really a golden cannon! After you finish playing, you can go pick it up and have fun!

I suddenly noticed that a battleship next to the Long Island began to sink, but I didn't seem to see it get shot! How could a good ship sink by itself! I suddenly realized something was wrong, it was not sinking but diving. That ship should be the Mist Shadow!

I watched the Mist Shadow dive into the water and then disappear from sight, but I could do nothing. The magic crystal cannon had not fully dissipated heat. It would explode if fired now, and my other artillery could not reach this distance!

The first mate suddenly ran into the turret and said to me: "Captain, there is a battleship on the other side asking us where we are from in a semaphore. How should we answer?"

"Did the other party say where he is?"

"No! Do you need to ask?"

"No need, just tell them that we are the battleship of the Frost Rose Regiment. Ask them how the situation is?"

"yes!"

The first mate ran out and told the flag bearer next to him what I said. This flag bearer is one of the chief mate's main methods of command. Because the ship is too big, shouting alone sometimes cannot make everyone hear the order, so the first mate and the second mate The deputy will keep a flag bearer by his side to facilitate giving orders. The flag-bearer immediately conveyed the order to the flag-bearer on the top of the mast, who then sent it to the opponent's warship.

The reply came back quickly. The first mate was outside watching the flag bearer shouting the flag while translating to me. "Thank you for joining the Anti-Japanese Federation. Our side has suffered heavy losses and needs powerful artillery support!"

"Tell them to give up the passage, ours is a heavy gun ship!"

After a while the answer came back again. "Great! Please kick the Japanese's butts for us!"

"Hahahaha! It must be that boy from King Chuang!"

"Do you want to say this?" The first mate didn't even raise his head. The logbook was there to record what I said!

"No, no! Don't say that! What's the situation on the waterway?"

The first mate looked up at the sea and said: "The Anti-Japanese Federation's ship has cleared a channel leading to the Japanese fleet!"

"Order to speed up and rush into the enemy's formation! Crush the enemy ships away and put down the guy tied up in front."

The first mate immediately conveyed the order. "Raise the sails, spread the ramming angle, and prepare to ram the enemy ship!"

"Understood!" The second officer immediately began to arrange the battle. "Raise the sails! Release the oars! Maximum combat speed of the entire ship! Open the collision angle and prepare to ram the enemy ship! All personnel are ready to resist the impact!"

The Bi Ling made a dull squeaking sound due to the sudden acceleration, like the roar of a giant beast that made people feel hairy all over! The warship quickly passed through the Chinese warship and rushed into the Japanese fleet. I stood on the bow and watched a row of sharp rams protruding from the bow. These were all-steel steel cones, and the tips were wrapped With the crystal on it, its sharpness can literally break the hair if you blow it!

Within a few minutes we rushed close to the Japanese fleet. They obviously did not expect such a huge warship to be so fast! Since our battleship is relatively high, I can clearly see the panicked people running around on the Japanese battleship. Several Japanese warships tried to turn around to avoid our warships, but our speed was too fast, and there were too many warships on the sea, so they not only failed to run away, but also ran into their own warships.

Several Japanese warships that were not afraid of death smoothly turned their bows towards us and lined up in the channel in front of us. Those blocking us are all warships equipped with ramming horns. They point their hard ramming horns at us. Although we can use the advantage of the Biling's large tonnage to crush them, our own bow will inevitably be damaged due to the huge tonnage. Damaged by force!

One of the few advantages of the Japanese is that they are united and not afraid of death! Although their bushido spirit feels a bit stupid, these warships lined up in a row with the bushido spirit and making it clear that they will die with us have really acted as a deterrent.

But I won't give in! I turned the muzzle of the magic crystal cannon to the bow of the ship and fired almost a second before we hit the enemy ship. The huge explosion shattered several warships that were close together to intercept us, and countless fragments flew out and hit the back. The people on the battleship scurried away with their heads in their hands. But our battleship has not released its forward power yet! The battleship in the second row facing us from the side soon became our next target. The collision angle of the Bi Ling penetrated the enemy ship's body like tofu, and I could see many little Japanese running around in fear on the deck.

Under normal circumstances, when the collision ends, the two warships will quickly separate due to the rebound force, but the Biling is too huge. Just like an aircraft carrier hitting a small cargo ship, we barely felt any violent vibrations when we hit the Japanese battleships that were less than half our size! After penetrating the enemy ship, we continued to move forward directly through the enemy ship without any feeling of slowing down. Cut open 8 battleships along the way! We actually emerged from behind the Japanese fleet just like that! It seems that the Biling has the potential to be an icebreaker!

The panicked little Japanese could only yell at us, but I don’t understand Japanese anyway, so it’s their business to curse us how they like!

The first mate ran over and asked, "Do you want to prepare for hand-to-hand combat?"

I looked at how many Japanese warships were left and said, "No, not yet. There are too many enemy ships and we can't handle them! Order the gunfire and hit me hard. There are not many opportunities at such a close distance. Don't waste a good opportunity!"

The Biling roared again in an instant, and countless cannonballs flew out. Since we were almost close to the enemy ships and there were enemy ships in all directions, the cannonballs could easily penetrate any deck, and there was no need to even aim. Just be careful not to knock the shells away! For a moment, there was only the chaotic sound of shelling and debris flying in the sky around us!

"The rocketeers are in position!" The second officer ordered my 500 rocketeers to form two columns on the deck and start firing lit rockets at the enemy ships. I looked carefully and saw that there was a skin bag made of unknown animal skin at the tip of these rockets. The skin bag obviously contained kerosene. As soon as the lit rocket hits the target, the skin bag in front will explode, and the flame on the arrow will immediately ignite the kerosene and stick to the surface of the enemy ship and burn for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that the shooting range of archers is only 600 meters, I think it would be more useful to prepare more archers than cannons!

The Japanese are not fools. They finally realized what a bad situation it was for our mobile fort to rush into their battle formation! Countless cannonballs rained down on us, and the cannonballs flew across the deck for a while. Eagle and Lark were now helping to operate the cannons on the deck, and the cannonballs were almost flying over their heads.

However, more shells hit the side of my boat directly. At this time, I finally realized that you get what you pay for! Judging from the power of bombardment, most of the Japanese equipment are heavy cannons, and a few ships are equipped with more than a dozen chain guns. As for fortress guns, they have them on every ship, but each ship only has two. It's just used as a main gun! Therefore, the firepower of Japanese warships is higher than that of Chinese warships, because Chinese warships can generally only afford cannons, and a few small warships are even equipped with flat cannons! Only a few big guilds like the Hot Blood Alliance have the money to centrally equip a few capital ships equipped with a large number of chain guns and several fortress guns!

However, although the firepower of the Japanese warships far exceeds the average level of Chinese warships, it is not comparable to the Biling! I found that the holes in the Biling were all made by the warships that were close to us, and the rest seemed to be blown up by fortress artillery! In other words, chain guns and heavy cannons can only penetrate our armor plates when they shoot against the side of our ship. The only things that can threaten us from a long distance are those fortress guns and those that have been fired by us. It's just the long-range cannon sent to the bottom of the sea!

"First mate! Order all firepower to focus on sinking the few ships close to us first!"

"yes!"

The few warships that were following us under my instruction were blown into pieces by the intense and intense firepower. It would be easier to handle without them! The remaining battleships are all heavy cannons and chain guns that cannot threaten us, and the few pitiful fortress guns cannot pose a threat to us at all. However, there was another loud bang. I know without confirmation that I've been shot again! "What happened! Hasn't it been killed already?"

"Report! Enemy ship found in the rear!"

"Rear?" I got out of the fort and ran up to the command tower, where I clearly saw a particularly short but very slender warship standing behind us and firing at us. The tail of the Biling has no gun emplacements at all, so we can't attack this strange warship at all.

Feng Yin Piaomiao also ran out and pointed at the ship: "That's the Wuying. That's how he appeared behind me inexplicably and sank my battleship!"

Sure enough, it was a submarine. He had been hiding like this and ran up behind us! The most important thing is that the submarine is equipped with fortress guns. The only good thing is that the submarine is not big, and it seems that it has no extra gun room except on the deck! It seems that diving also comes with a price! But despite this, there are still more than 30 fortress guns on its deck. It would be bad if they concentrated their firepower to make a hole in the back of my butt!

"Tank!" I summoned Tank and told him to stay aft. "Did you see that ship? Kill him!" I patted the tank, and he immediately entered the attack position.

Maybe I saw something, the Mist Shadow suddenly stopped bombarding and began to sink. I could see the sailors on it starting to run into the cabin. But they dived a little too slowly, and the tank jumped directly onto the deck of the Mist Shadow. The tank raised its huge scythe and slammed it against the deck. With a roar, half of its pliers were inserted into the deck. Unable to react, the Kiri Shadow continued its dive, but with a big hole in the middle, it had no waterproof panels at all. This dive might be his last! I watched my experience bar turn up like a stopwatch. Naval battle is really a good place to level up!

The Kiri Shadow quickly sank into the water, and then a series of huge bubbles appeared and a lot of debris of the equipment was dragged up to the surface. Tank had already taken flight, and as an insect he still didn't like to get himself wet!

Ziyue riding Skyfire in the sky has also been fighting with the Japanese ships, but the battle situation did not change immediately as I thought. The countless arrows were missing and the sky fire was unable to launch an effective attack. Although it could take the time to throw two dragon flame bullets down, the effect was really not very good. Usually such things that were fired in a hurry would fall into the water! Even if it hits the target, it will have little effect!

I commanded Lucky and Xiaofeng to take off and start a close battle, while Xiaolongnu started her activities behind enemy lines. Her main task was to remove the rudder of the Japanese ship! This move of mine is absolutely damaging, as powerful as a magic crystal cannon!

On the battlefield, the warships that lost their rudders were huddled together in a mess and even hit their own ships!

"Charge over!" I ordered the first mate, and the battleship quickly accelerated again and rushed into the enemy's formation.

The second officer stood on the control tower and shouted orders to both sides. "Each artillery position fires at will!"

The 600 artillery pieces on the Biling fired at the same time. The scene was very spectacular. As 600 cannons roared simultaneously and brought up huge smoke, we seemed to be in the clouds.

Our several rounds of bombardment were effective, and the enemy ships on both sides were hit and set on fire. But the enemy seemed unwilling to sink like this. Many ships aimed at us and fought back at the last moment before they sank! Countless shells hit our battleship. Fortunately, most of the shells were fired by chain guns and heavy cannons. They were blocked by the thick armor plates and could do nothing but leave a bruise. . But there were still some shells that penetrated the deck and made holes of various sizes in my ship because they hit the same point continuously.

The Japanese artillery fire became more and more intensive. The ones in the artillery room below were better. The artillerymen on the deck on the Eagle side were unable to lift their heads under the weight of the dense artillery shells. The 0 artillery pieces on the deck were basically silenced. Got it!

Eagle lay on the deck and crawled next to me and said, "Ziri! This won't work!" After saying that, he looked at the mess on the ship that had been bombarded. "Our cannons can't fire at all! The firepower is so fierce that we can't even stand up under the pressure. Fortunately, the fortress cannons are loaded in the back hall, otherwise we wouldn't be able to fire out a single shot!

I looked at the enemy ships huddled in front of me, but there was really nothing I could do! There are too many enemies. Although we have strong firepower and thick armor, our sailors are still afraid of cannonballs. There is no way to design such dense firepower! I looked at the sailor lying on the ground struggling to fill the cannon hall with shells, then carefully sticking out half his head from the side of the ship to see the position of the enemy ship outside, and finally crawling back to adjust the gun position and then yanking the firing rope. I don’t even know what to say!

But suddenly our pressure was relieved a lot. The Chinese warships gained valuable time to reorganize because of our trouble just now. Now they have returned to the Japanese warship group again. Because of their large number of ships, For a time, the formation of the Japanese fleet was thrown into chaos!

"Hey! I'm finally back!" I looked over and laughed and gave the eagle an ok gesture. The eagle also gave me an ok gesture and continued to operate the artillery next to it and started to fight back.

The sailors on the deck who were unable to lift their heads after being suppressed by the Japanese shelling also quickly jumped up and started to fight back. They also wanted to vent their depression that they had been suppressed just now and could not lift their heads!

Before I was happy for a long time, suddenly there was a huge explosion that made people's ears numb. At the same time, the entire battleship shook violently and turned to one side. I thought it would completely capsize, but fortunately, he was too slow. Slowly the balance comes over!

"What's going on?" The first mate stumbled over and ran over. Before he could reach me, he heard another loud noise from behind. The entire stern of the boat tilted up and then hit the water heavily. I was better off at the bow, and at the stern. Almost all the people were thrown into the air and then fell down. Many people even fell into the sea when they fell! Moreover, some cannonballs stacked on the deck were also thrown up. The sailors were so horrified that they jumped up to place the cannonballs regardless of the pain on their bodies. It would not be a joke if these things exploded!

Fortunately, most of the cannonballs fell into the water, and most of the cannonballs that landed on the deck were caught by the sailors. Fortunately, the few cannonballs that didn't get caught didn't explode! I finally felt relieved after seeing that I was safe and sound. But a piercing sound of rolling iron cans came over, and a cannonball actually rolled towards me. The cannonball just rolled in front of me in front of everyone, and then...
