Three thousand meters.
This is an absolutely safe distance for the North Korean Navy.
Even on flat water, the ships of the Xia Navy were already a bit out of shape in their eyes.
Seeing that Xia's navy had its ship so far away and did not attack, everyone in the North Korean navy was puzzled.
Is it possible to set up a position and wait for the North Korean navy to attack?
If this is the case, then Liu Lin will be extremely happy.
He will never attack.
Since Xia Guojun is willing to delay, then he can delay.
Anyway, as soon as noon passes, the situation reverses and the North Korean Navy has greater hope of victory.
But in the eyes of the Xia Navy, the layout of the North Korean Navy was clear at a glance.
Through high-powered telescopes, you can even see the expressions of many North Koreans clearly.
Encouraged by generous remuneration, Xia's craftsmen were very motivated and worked hard to improve their skills.
The quality of the lenses they grind is getting higher and higher.
At the same time, the understanding of optics is also forming an increasingly complete system, which has also helped the creation of various tools.
First came the monocular, then the telescope, then the microscope. Nowadays, binoculars have begun to be equipped with the entire army.
Compared with the original monocular telescope, the magnification was higher and the observation was clearer, which greatly helped Xia Jun's operations.
In the eyes of Bai Dasheng, North Korea. The navy's ship also lay across the water. It also stabilized the ship by anchoring, and also aimed its artillery here.
It's a pity that North Korea's small artillery can't hit the Xia Navy at this distance.
He saw that the North Korean navy was divided into three parts, each holding two islands, and then the main force moved forward, so he decided on the battle plan.
"Target the enemy's main force, prepare firepower."
At a distance of three thousand meters, Xia Jun's light naval guns and rocket launchers could not hit.
Only heavy artillery could be put into use.
Although there is only one heavy cannon on each ship, which seems to be few in number, it does not matter since the enemy can only be beaten and cannot fight back.
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
After receiving the order, the messenger quickly conveyed it to other ships through semaphores. At the same time, the surveying and mapping staff began to report data.
"The distance is 3100 meters, the left deviation is 0.3, the height is 4.5, the first round is calibrated, release!"
On Bai Dasheng's flagship, the heavy artillery fired alone.
In the thick smoke, the shells flew out and quickly crossed the sky.
As a result, it did not hit any target, but fell on the water, causing a wave of more than ten meters high.
Seeing Xia Jun's artillery fire, the North Korean navy was all stunned.
What's the use of firing from such a long distance?
When huge waves surged behind them, almost everyone felt a chill.
Although they don't understand what shooting across is called, since Xia Jun's artillery can hit their back, doesn't that mean...
"High and low 4.33, salvo!"
Xia Jun's artillery already had the ability to conduct systematic operations. Through calibrated shooting, the data was quickly determined.
And then all the heavy artillery fired together.
The volley of artillery was like thunder, earth-shaking, and all the blessing boats were seen shaking violently, and the water surface was also agitated.
But such little movement cannot be compared with what happened to the North Korean navy.
Almost all eight shells hit the North Korean Navy's array.
Two of them hit directly, immediately blowing the two cabin boats into pieces. The wild storm carried broken wood and limbs flying everywhere, damaging the surrounding ships.
Countless Koreans were still ignorant, but they were blown to pieces with no bones left.
The remaining shells that missed the target, even if they landed in the water, still overturned three cabin boats, causing several nearby boats to collide with each other.
Although the Korean wooden house ships are slightly larger than the Japanese Kanban ships, they still cannot withstand the power of heavy artillery.
"What's this?"
Liu Lin originally sat calmly, feeling that the situation was under control. But at this moment, he jumped up and stared at his formation in a state of disarray.
Does artillery that can shoot more than five miles really exist?
However, the missing warships and the soldiers struggling on the water reminded him that all this was true.
"Sir, what should we do?"
The North Korean navy panicked.
Now they have been attacked and losses have occurred. But even if they wanted to fight back, their artillery couldn't hit the enemy!
Liu Lin's scalp was numb, and her ears were filled with the panicked shouts of the soldiers.
There is still an hour before noon. Can we survive until that time?
Before he could finish thinking, Xia Jun's formation roared again.
The reloading speed of the breech-loading artillery was so fast that the second round was fired in a short period of time.
Because the ships of the North Korean Navy are stationary, there is no need to readjust the aim and just continue firing.
The effect of the second round of bombardment was even better than the first round, destroying five cabin boats.
Seeing that a large portion of his originally solid formation had been cut away, Liu Lin's spirit was so strong that she didn't dare to delay any longer.
"Order the entire army to charge forward! Rush over and destroy the enemy with artillery!"
Liu Lin had to change her tactics.
The ultra-long range and loading speed of Xia Jun's artillery were completely beyond his knowledge. If the North Korean Navy continued to stay where it was, he did not dare to guess how much it would lose.
The only solution for now is to close the distance between the two parties. Then take advantage of the larger number of our side, hoping to turn defeat into victory.
Even if the current ocean current is unfavorable to his side, he doesn't care.
The North Korean navy lifted anchor one after another and began to rush towards the Xia Kingdom fleet against the ocean current.
But even if the North Korean sailors on these cabin boats have mustered up all their strength to paddle, human power is nothing in the face of nature.
In the extremely fast countercurrent, the Korean warships moved extremely slowly, as if they were crawling like a turtle.
The Xia Navy was indifferent and continued to fire at its own pace.
Now that the enemy is on the move, unified command no longer applies. So all the warships searched for targets and fired on their own.
This method will not reduce the lethality of artillery, and Korean warships will still be destroyed from time to time.
And as the North Korean ship gets closer, the probability of a hit becomes higher and the loss becomes greater.
Standing next to Bai Dasheng and watching the hearty movements of Xia Jun's artillery, Quan Li couldn't help but feel chills all over.
He had no idea that there were such sharp weapons in the world.
Fortunately, he sided with Xia Jun early on. Otherwise, it would have been more enjoyable for him to face this kind of weapon and commit suicide.
Opposite him, Liu Lin's eyes were bloodshot, and she kept urging the fleet to go faster and faster.
As long as they can rush within the reach of the Xia Navy, the artillery of the North Korean Navy will be useful.
That was the only chance to turn defeat into victory!
