This was completely different from any kind of warship he had seen. The hull was huge, more majestic than the largest warship he had, and there was a weird giant tube erected on it, spewing smoke like a monster. The hull of the ship actually exudes a metallic luster, and the terrifying collision angle is like casting of fine steel.
What on earth is this?
Zheng Chou was surprised when he discovered that far away, those strange warships were arranged in an arc. Countless covers were opened on the hulls, and thick metal tubes poked out from them, looking as ferocious as monsters.
Having seen the firearms on three pirate ships, Zheng Chou felt something bad was keenly aware of something similar to this, and immediately ordered preparations for war.
However, he was a little doubtful. They were too far apart. If the three pirate ships couldn't launch an attack at this distance, what could the other party do?
But the next moment, I saw those metal tubes emitting a deafening roar almost at the same time, and the fire was spitting out, like a demon roaring.
And at such a long distance, the strange objects ejected from the metal tubes had hit the Zheng family's warship, falling to the ground and causing a series of earth-shattering explosions.
Those poor wooden warships could barely withstand a few blows before being blown to pieces. The firepower was far more powerful than three pirate ships.
The Zheng family's fleet didn't even react, they were stunned by this astonishing sight.
"Quick! Hold on -" Zheng Chou shouted an order, but was completely covered up by the overwhelming sound of artillery fire. Zheng Chou roared while feeling cold in his heart. The opponent's weapons were similar to those of pirate ships, but more terrifying. It was obvious that the two sides were working together. The three pirate ships before were simply baits, guiding the fleet into the fjord that was difficult to move, and closed the door. Beat the dog, fall into the trap!
On the top of the mountain, Jiang Fan saw an unparalleled scene. This was the power of artillery. Although he saw some strong men using their skills to blow away the cannonballs, there were only so many strong men. Most of the warships were helpless and were destroyed by one bombing. Defeated dozens of ships.
But the artillery would not stop. Just as the first platoon withdrew to reload, the second platoon came out and bombarded wildly.
There are also some weird cannonballs that will ignite fire instantly after exploding. The dense Zheng family fleet quickly infected each other while pushing each other, and the fjord turned into a sea of fire.
Under the constant terror attacks, the Zheng family's fleet was completely in chaos. They bumped into each other like headless flies in the fjord, but because they were too densely packed, they couldn't turn around, and they became completely targets.
Thirty ships suppressed three hundred ships, and they were beaten wildly from a distance. The battle situation should not be too bizarre.
Fortunately, Zheng Chou was experienced in naval battles and was finally able to turn the rear team around and charge towards the thirty armored warships.
But it was a pity that their trebuchets and siege cones could not reach this range at all, and during the advance, most of them were sunk by dense artillery.
Finally, when the Zheng family rushed out crazily, some ships approached the armored battleship, but their attacks were unable to cause damage at all.
As a last resort, some strong men jumped over and wanted to board the ship with the power of warriors.
At this time, thousands of arrows flew from the armored battleship, shooting down countless people in the air. Some masters relied on their powerful skills to finally approach the armored battleship, only to find that there was actually formation armor on the battleship.
Not to mention, some machine launchers that had never been seen before bombarded these strong men with terrifying formation aura. In this way, another large number of people were forced back or killed.
In the end, only a handful of them were lucky enough to reach the sky, but they were intercepted by the masters on the ship. In the end, no one successfully boarded the ship to fight.
Zheng Chou had never seen such a thing, let alone fought such an unknown battle. The only way was to let the fleet rush out first and spread out to outflank it. At this time, even the three pirate ships behind were not considered.
It was a good idea, but in order to achieve this, it also came at a huge price. The dense fleet was hit by such a blow, and it was directly damaged by 40%.
The rest finally rushed out, but were horrified to find that they couldn't catch up. They retreated as soon as they entered, and entered as soon as they retreated. That's called maneuverability, and it's not like what a cumbersome warship can do.
The terrible thing is that the range is simply incomparable, and it is completely passive.
Zheng Chou was extremely frightened and angry. Fortunately, as a commander, he finally regained some composure after several rounds of shock. He commanded the warship to open to the two wings, trying to outflank the opponent from the two wings to the middle, and then relied on the numerical advantage to squeeze the opponent.
But Jiang Fan saw an even more pleasing sight. Thirty armored warships collided directly with each other. Steel against wood, big men against little babies. The effect was like an explosion. The relatively strong Zheng family warships directly collided with this steel monster. It was torn into pieces, and no ship could compete with the collision angle.
Thirty warships were divided into two teams and rammed through the two wings respectively. Then he turned around and was beaten again.
Cannonballs cost nothing, Jiang Fan sighed.
Of course, he didn't feel bad. It was just cannonballs. Lishan had made countless cannons over the years. This thing didn't cost much. What was difficult was making cannons.
Although it was not the first time for Lu Hanting to see it, he was still dumbfounded. He was even more impressed by the power of science.
On the sea surface, it turned into a pot of porridge. The steel sea beast that had never been seen before completely stunned the Zheng family's warship.
Later, Zheng Chou could no longer command in this chaotic scene.
At the same time, the three pirate ships actually came up from behind, spitting out cannon fire and sinking Zheng Chou's ship. He finally escaped to another escort ship, only to find that Zheng Hao's eldest son had no idea what was happening. Where to throw it.
This battle is impossible to fight!
Zheng Chou has realized this. He really wants the warships to retreat, but as a man who is good at naval warfare, he understands that doing so is tantamount to seeking death.
Because of speed, the opponent has a long range and the speed is too much faster than you. Escape is equivalent to being beaten by the opponent, and the entire army may eventually be annihilated.
So, he had no choice but to choose the tactic of rushing forward in a swarm. He didn't believe that the opponent's weapons would not be used up. In his opinion, this thing should be an array weapon, but there was absolutely no one in the world who could launch an array so boldly and for a long time. device.
However, the reality was beyond his imagination. The opponent's formations seemed to be inexhaustible, and the bombings were raining down one after another without stopping.
The Zheng family fleet, which was completely stunned and frightened, could no longer command and fled. Zheng Chou also understood that the situation was over, so he had no choice but to urge the ships to flee.
But this directly evolved into a situation of being hunted.
"While we were talking and laughing, the boats and oars disappeared into ashes... It's over." Jiang Fan sighed and put down his telescope.
The battle was more intense than he imagined, but simpler than he imagined. The unknown dimensionality reduction attack quickly destroyed the Zheng family's fleet and even destroyed their confidence.
Thirty versus three hundred, a complete victory, the rest depends on the chase record.
The pirate ship that had been staring at Zheng Chou was also speeding up at this moment, and finally captured Zheng Chou's ship. With Kuangtu Yan and Han Bolin on board, Zheng Chou was probably doomed as well.
"Old Lu, if you count the opponent's battle losses, it may take longer than the fighting time..."
Lu Hanting listened to him, looked at the wreckage of countless Zheng family warships on the sea, and many Zheng family sailors floating on the water, and had no idea how to express it.
In fact, just before this war started, another battle was also being deployed in full swing.
