As the commander of the Zituoluo Fleet, His Highness Duke Flor Carlos, was a little confused at this time.
According to the information observed by the lookout on the mast, the strange fleet opposite did not have many warships, only more than twenty.
But those warships are all white, which is a bit dazzling under the reflection of the sun. Moreover, they do not have the three-layer artillery deck like the Franji warship, only some artillery installed on the deck.
But the largest warship among them still looked a bit scary.
According to Mr. Flo Carlos' understanding of the countries along the Mediterranean Sea, this fleet is no match for the fleets of those countries.
But it would make sense if the other party was a disguised merchant ship.
Both the Mighty Lion and the Aoshiman Empire can build such a large fleet.
"Send out a clipper and ask them to stop the ship for inspection!"
His Excellency Flo Carlos immediately issued an order to his herald.
"Yes! Dear Duke."
The herald bowed and backed away.
Soon a Franji speedboat broke away from the fleet and headed towards the Star Sea Fleet.
Well, the negotiation process was not pleasant. In short, in the words of Wang Boyang, commander of the Imperial China Sea Fleet, why should our great Star Sea Fleet listen to the orders of your Fo Lang robots?
As the clippers were driven back, the Zituoluo fleet was immediately ready for battle. The gun windows of the gun decks of the warships were opened, the gun jackets covering the artillery were removed, and the artillerymen began to load gunpowder. Solid shells.
The charge captains gathered their men on the deck merchant, inspected their swords and the muskets hanging on their waists, and prepared for a boarding battle after a collision with the enemy ship.
The Duke ordered the blood-red cross-swords charge flag to be raised.
Although it has experienced several failures in important naval battles, the French Navy still has not changed their old-fashioned naval battle concepts, and still uses boarding battles as the main method of naval battles. As for the artillery battle, haha, it is just the dessert before the two sides get close. .
Under the guidance of such a concept of naval warfare, it is normal for the Franconian Navy to decline more and more.
In fact, at this time, the warships of the Imperial Navy Fleet had already formed a battle line and locked their muzzles on the Fo Langji battleship.
Following Wang Boyang's order, the artillery on the battleship fired the shells one after another.
The huge recoil caused the battleship to move slightly laterally on the sea.
After several seconds of flight, the cannonballs fell one after another, splashing water columns into the sky near the Fo Langji battleship.
In response to this sudden attack, everyone in the Zituoluo fleet, from the supreme commander, the Duke, to the sailors at the bottom, were stunned. They simply could not understand why the two fleets were so far apart. Why are water pillars appearing above me?
They only knew that those water pillars soaring into the sky should be related to the enemy.
But before the panicked Lord Duke could give any orders, the rapid-fire cannon on the Star Sea Battleship immediately turned on the rapid-fire mode after the test firing, sending shells one after another like a machine gun.
Due to the consistent calmness of the Imperial Sea, the fire control team of the Star Sea Battleship can easily calculate the difference between the impact point of the shell and the position of the enemy ship.
So soon, one after another, the French warships were shattered into pieces under the bombardment of artillery shells.
There is no need to describe the whole process in detail.
The Starship Battleship, which has weapons that are three to four hundred years more advanced than the Forang robots, only needs to lock on to the enemy fleet and then fire off its cannons.
The Zituoluo fleet, which numbered more than 120 warships, was completely destroyed in less than two hours.
There is still some time consumed during the pursuit of the Star Sea Battleship.
With the entire Zituoluo fleet destroyed, most of the battleships sank to the bottom of the sea, and the smaller half were captured, Fo Langji's Zituoluo fortress was equivalent to opening half of its collar.
Needless to say, the subsequent battle situation was as follows. When the Imperial Navy Fleet approached the Shituoluo Strait and bombarded the forts and fortresses on the shore, the army troops loaded on the transport ships behind them could only go ashore to act as security officers.
After the news of the change of hands of the Zituoluo Strait came back to Folangji, His Majesty King Folangji was furious. He immediately appointed his brother, another Duke, to lead the army and went out, vowing to recapture the Zituoluo Strait and give it to A good look at attacking enemies.
However, Fo Langji's expedition force suffered heavy losses again in the Zituoluo Strait.
The well-known Folangji phalanx was completely defeated by the artillery shells flying from a distance. More than 40,000 of the 50,000 elite Folangji soldiers were killed. The remaining Francoji soldiers who escaped had completely lost the courage to continue fighting.
The two newly formed divisions of the Xinghai Kingdom landed on the north shore of the Zituoluo Strait and pushed all the way. Relying on weapons that were beyond this era, they hit Madili, the capital of Folangji, in one fell swoop.
His Majesty King Franji fled in panic to the boundary of the blast furnace and called on the people of Franji to rise up against the foreign invaders.
But what King Fo Langji never expected was that after the Star Navy captured Madeli, they turned around and went straight to various ports, capturing all the ports along the coast of Fo Langji.
Although Xinghai Kingdom gave up its permanent occupation of Madeli, Folangji did not lose all its ports in just one month.
At the same time, in the continuous naval battles, all the local fleets of Fo Langji were completely destroyed.
After losing all the ports and the shipyards attached to the ports, King Franji lost even hope of rebuilding his fleet.
Under such circumstances, he could only send people to South America and mobilize colonial troops to return.
In one month, the Folangji Empire, known as the most powerful in the plane, fell, which caused the countries in Ouzhou to become extremely interested in the sudden appearance of the Star Navy fleet.
Countries such as Britain, Blast Furnace, and Powerful Lion all sent spies to Folangji, trying to find out the origin of this army.
But what they never expected was that just as the senior officials of various countries were anxiously waiting for the spies' reports, the Star Sea Fleet suddenly attacked the ports of various countries.
The navies of various countries launched a desperate struggle with the Star Sea Fleet. However, due to the huge gap in weapons and tactical thinking between the two sides, many warships from various countries were sunk in the port channel before they could even leave the port.
Most of Ouzhou's naval power was wiped out in just two months.
The gap in scientific and technological strength, which was more than three hundred years apart, caused the entire Ouzhou to tremble under the muzzle of the Xinghai Fleet.
Whether it is the British gentlemen, the Sun King of Blast Furnace, the merchants of Powerful Lion, or even the Proud Lion Empire, they all feel the changes of the times.
With the end of this war, ships flying the Star Sea flag began to appear in the ports of various countries. They either brought angry punishments or brought exquisite goods.
