Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 967 Battle of Port City ()

Facts have proved that such a dog-walking tactic used by the Xuange Camp Fleet has extremely effective results.

Relying on their stronger maneuverability and speed, they once again opened the distance a little further. After maintaining at least three miles away, the three armored warships once again fought horizontally and began to reload and aim again.

The difference is that after the cross is bitten on the rear molar, the muzzle angle is calculated and the gunner adjusts it.

On the Fenghuahui, Huang Acan, who was now the gunner of the No. 0.5 gun position, hesitated for a moment, and then adjusted the cannon he was responsible for degrees more to the left.

Because although he couldn't make any sense, he had an indescribable intuition in his heart about how he should adjust to hit.

This intuition was so strong that Huang Acan couldn't help but make adjustments due to various factors.

Then, in this round, almost three armored warships opened fire at the same time, firing a pretty beautiful salvo.

After counting Huang Acan's shells, three of the nine shells hit the target this time.

One of the cannonballs successfully detonated the gunpowder barrel in the explosion that penetrated the hull; suddenly, huge explosions occurred continuously in the hull.

Let this Yin Army warship of more than 2300 tons be completely destroyed.

And the complete destruction of the 'Compass' was just the beginning.

In the following time, when a group of shady gentlemen and ladies were hiding in a building on the shore to watch the battle, the only thing they could do was to pray to Brother Su to bless them.

Let the young men of the Great Yin Far East Fleet drive away these terrifying opponents.

As for defeating them, arresting these people and hanging them in the port, this is something that I don't even dare to think about.

It's a pity that Brother Su didn't seem to be at work today; no matter how experienced the sailor was, he never let go of any sea breeze, so that the sails were blown up and the warship drove at the fastest speed.

But in front of those three black-smoking iron-clad battleships, these people's efforts were so ridiculous and helpless.

The majestic sail warship of the Empire, where the sun never sets, moves slowly like a staggering old lady.

With three flexible and fast armored warships, the distance between the two sides was always about three miles, and there was no way to get any closer.

Instead, in such a process of constant pursuit and artillery battle.

Dayin Far East Fleet, one after another warships were sunk one after another by the opponent's concentrated firepower, or had their masts broken, making them the best targets.

So much so that the sailors above, in fear of death, jumped into the cold sea like dumplings.

Now, after about an hour has passed, four ships of the Far East Fleet have been directly sunk, or are in the process of sinking.

There was also the Pegasus, which lost its mobility because all its masts were broken.

The sailing battleship with a displacement of 1130 tons and a crew of 128 actually surrendered with a rifle and raised some white pants.

In the navy of the Empire where the sun never sets, such a situation has actually occurred, which shows how desperate the sailors above are at this moment.

So such a scene made the gentlemen and ladies watching the battle couldn't help but despair.

But they will soon know that this is just the beginning.

The real despair will soon be staged in front of them...

******

When a huge sound of blacksmithing was clearly heard in the ears of Hu Biao and others, the ship they were on, the Royal Concubine, immediately began to shake significantly.

It was Hu Biao and the others who quickly grabbed the handrail beside them to prevent themselves from being thrown to the ground.

The reason was that amidst the dense artillery fire of the Yin army, another 32-pound solid shell hit the Royal Concubine where they were.

Ignoring the huge embarrassment when I almost fell, I reacted.

After the war started, Hu Biao, who had been in the command tower, immediately shouted at the top of his voice to a copper pipe next to him:

"Damage control team, damage control team, this is the captain's room, I am Hu Yitong, report the damage to the battleship immediately."

Not long after, a sentence came to Hu Biao's ears: "Call the captain's room, this is the damage control team, the shell of the starboard coal storage bin was hit by a shot.

However, there is currently only a small bulge at the location where the cannon was hit, and there is no leakage or other problems. "     Hearing such a sentence, Hu Biao's confidence suddenly surged.

In fact, this naval battle has been going on until now. In the previous time, their ship, the Royal Concubine, had been hit by six shells; the No. Kick and the No. Feng Hua Hui had also been hit by several shells respectively.

Not even one of them had its hull penetrated.

However, the largest caliber of the shells hit before was 24 pounds.

But when the 32-pounder gun, which belongs to many warships in the Yin Army fleet, the largest caliber artillery cannot break through the defense.

Hu Biao's confidence in the crushing defensive power of his three armored warships finally reached its peak.

At the same time, there was also a feeling of impatience rising in this guy's heart:

Damn it! After fighting for such a long time, six ships of the Yin Army were killed and captured.

Although the requirement of the "three thousand tons" side mission has been completed by now; but to meet it so easily would be a shame even for the efforts of everyone in the Magic City team.

Therefore, Hu Biao's goal was to completely annihilate Dayin's Far East Fleet in the port city and then rush ashore to fight.

After thinking of this, Hu Biao shouted at the top of his lungs: "Use flag language to give orders to those who are being kicked and Fenghuahui to stop running and rush forward.

From now on, each ship will fight independently.

Give me a cannon barrel and fire it on the head of the Yin army warship; as long as they don't surrender, I will blast them all into the sea to feed the bastards..."

Under Hu Biao's orders, there were still glorious results that even in the most daring dreams, one would not even dare to hope for.

Everyone in the entire Xuange Camp fleet was driven crazy by the excitement at this moment.

The personnel in the power department turned the shovels in their hands to take off, filling shovel after shovel of high-quality thermal coal into the boiler.

It provides the greatest power for the entire battleship.

Driven by such power, Yi Shui is at least fifty years old, and it can be said that he has spent most of his life on the sea.

He turned the rudder in his hand like a hot wheel.

While successfully dodging the Yin army and being covered by gunfire one after another, he allowed the warship he was driving to rush past flexibly and quickly on the sea.

Even the gunners took off their shirts one after another, and started loading and firing shirtless.

Even if his arms were burned by the hot cannon, he couldn't care less; the speed of firing the cannon was increased by more than 20%.

As the distance between the two sides gradually got closer, the hit rate naturally increased significantly.

It's just that even if the Yin Army's hit rate improves, it just makes the sound of hammering iron more intensive.

The various artillery shells they fired were still bounced off one by one, leaving holes of varying sizes on the armored battleships, and they never really penetrated these opponents.

But when it comes to the most terrifying weapons for the Yin Army, they are those 20 mm caliber special heavy machine guns.

After the two sides reached a distance of seven to eight hundred meters, Guifei, Xu Feng, Feng Hua Hui, Xiao Bai Lian, Yun Qing and others who had grabbed these heavy machine guns started firing wildly.

In comparison, in one minute, Dingtian is just a naval gun that fires one shot.

This weapon, which fires as fast as its hand speed, rains bullets as thick as a thumb towards the Yin army sailors on the deck and behind the gun windows.

Often in a very short period of time, after a burst of blood mist, all living people in an area disappear.

For a time, countless Yin Army sailors were frightened almost crazy by this thing.

Driven by the fear in their hearts, they either jumped towards the sea or fell to their knees, calling "Brother Su" frantically, but no one dared to continue fighting.

Because in their view, continuing to fight is a useless effort.

In short, it was only thirty minutes after Hu Biao and the others launched their attack; only six warships from the Yin army still insisted on fighting...
