Chapter 64 The Confused Soldier

“How far into range is there?”

Looking at the increasingly clear Port Royal, Lord Beckett stood up and asked.

Because the weather in the Caribbean Sea is very good, the visibility is quite good, even without a telescope, Beckett can now see the distant view of Port Royal.

By the way, you can see the top of Port Royal, where a group of people seem to be standing on the shore defense artillery position.

In terms of the range and performance of the artillery, there is not much difference between the current shore defense artillery and shipborne artillery, but the artillery in the port is condescending, so it will have a suppressing effect on the ship.

But this thing is only relative, Port Royal can’t support 70 or 80 artillery, and every warship on his side has at least 40 or 50 artillery, the total number of artillery exceeds two thousand!

This kind of difference in numbers can’t be smoothed out by mere morale and a little bit of location.

“In ten minutes, we can enter the maximum range!” Arnold raised his head to check the weather, then raised his right hand and threw down a feather, confirming the wind direction based on the flutter of the feather, and then replied.

“Very well, I want to hang all those sinners who dare to resist His Majesty the King!” Beckett nodded comfortably, in his opinion there was no suspense about the battle.

I brought 16,000 soldiers this time, plus 50 warships. This force is not something a mere Port Royal can contend.

His goal is to rule the entire Caribbean Sea and expand the glory of the British Empire. Let this group of overpowering guys become the first sacrifice after coming to the Caribbean Sea!

‘boom–‘

An explosion suddenly sounded from the side, and the huge amounts of impact force even shook the battleship Endeavour.

“what happened?”

Lord Beckett quickly stood up, trot to the edge of the deck, and asked in confusion.

With the same expression as him, there were the captains of a dozen nearby warships. Everyone looked at each other, wondering what had happened just now.

“It’s missed!”

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Li Qingyuan said a little bit sorrowfully.

Although I didn’t expect the first shot to hit, but it was really depressing.



“Please wait a minute, it will be done right away!” Ramuel quickly began to order people to adjust the muzzle, even after Li Qingyuan’s transformation, this artillery has instantly changed from an antique in the 17th century to a strategic artillery in the early twentieth century. , But it is impossible to hit 100%.

Even in the 21st century, the artillery hit rate is only 10%, let alone this kind of artillery during World War I!

Definitely, 10% is because precision strikes are required. Now the enemy warship is only five nautical miles away from one’s own side, and it only needs to wait for the warship. Compared with the hit rate, it can reach 30 or 40%.

“Why is this cannon so weird?” Elizabeth Swan, who had been stubborn for a long time looking at the giant cannon that was two or three times larger than the ordinary cannon, finally couldn’t help but ask.

Although she was tied up by a one-piece tunic dress, and by the way, even her hands were covered by one-piece gloves. The whole person looked like a mental patient in restraint clothes, but she didn’t care. The title of a marquise was hung, so facing Elizabeth’s question, Ramuel explained it with all his heart.

“This mighty general was rebuilt by Lord Marquis himself. The range of this cannon is three times that of ordinary cannons, and its power is more than ten times!”

Having said this, Ramuel couldn’t help but fumbled the barrel of the cannon, as if stroking his dream lover.

“Ten times?” Governor Swann, who had been silent at the side, shouted at the moment, raising his voice.

Since two days ago, Governor Swann has been in conflict.

On the one hand, he hoped that Beckett could bring people to regain Port Royal, and then cut Li Qingyuan a thousand dollars.

But on the other hand, he hopes that Li Qingyuan can win the fleet led by Beckett!

After all, based on the private grievances between him and Beckett, the time when Port Royal was captured was when their father and daughter were finished.

Originally Governor Swann had prepared a pistol, ready to use it to commit suicide when the fleet captured Port Royal, but now! He snatched the binoculars from others in a panic and looked at the British warship in the distance.

‘Wow! ’

Another shell was fired. This time it did not fall into the sea because of the angle adjustment, but directly hit a Tier 3 battleship.

Then!

In the stunned expressions of everyone, the entire ship of the third-tier battleship exploded directly, and it came to the same place as three hundred and sixty degrees spiraling into the sky!

“impossible!”

Governor Swan’s hand slipped and a telescope worth hundreds of pounds fell to the ground with a snap, and the lens fell to pieces.

“What happened?” Elizabeth Swan felt the strange atmosphere and asked quickly.

She wanted to run to Governor Swann and ask what had happened, but her feet were still locked together and she couldn’t walk at all.

No way, this little girl has a bad temper, and the Lord Marquis ordered that unless it is a special situation, she should be locked up.


“How is it possible!” Governor Swann sat down on the ground, still doubting his life.

“Very well, continue!” Li Qingyuan nodded when he saw a battleship turned into ruins at sea.

Battleships are definitely a big killer at sea for people of this age. Even if they are only Tier 3 battleships, they are more than 40 meters long, have a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, and carry dozens of artillery. They are almost rare in the sea except for natural disasters. Every rival.

The upper and lower three layers of 15 cm thick oak boards can withstand all physical blows, even if they are hit by artillery, with the current power of solid bullets, it takes less than a dozen shots to sink a battleship.

Considering the impressive hit rate of the artillery, it can be said that basically wanting to sink a battleship in a naval battle is an impossible task.

But now!

With just one shot, a Tier 3 battleship was sent directly to the bottom of the sea.

There are dozens of lucky soldiers lying on the driftwood in a daze!

who am I? where am I? What am I doing?

Why was it that I was sitting on the ship just now in preparation for war, but in the blink of an eye the ship that was so big disappeared?

Using cannons from the First World War to bully the ancients of the 18th century is no different from adults bullying kindergarten children.

The wooden warship has no defense at all in front of the explosive bomb, and no matter how thick a wooden board is, it is impossible to block the power of the explosive bomb.

Ramuel quickly ordered his men to start adjusting the angle of the cannon, and now his face was full of excitement.

Although it has long been known that this mighty general has become extremely powerful after being transformed by Lord Marquis, but seeing the sinking of the battleship with a single shot made him feel extremely excited.

One shot in hand, the world is invincible!

For the artillery chief, such a super firepower cannon is an artifact!
