Now is the perfect opportunity for naval artillery to bombard the enemy's artillery vehicles!

But......

Why doesn't Jupiter Hong fire now?

Let's take a look at what's going on on the sea.

The two ships of the other side had already repelled the battleships of Duanmu Xinghong's companions.

And now, the other party's ship is concentrating its firepower to attack Duanjupita Xinghong's ship!

In such an open sea, where there are no obstacles, it seems difficult to provide safe naval artillery support - both for the other side and for one's own side.

Duanmu Xinghong's giant artillery battleship once again turned its focus back to naval warfare.

In the midst of the loud sound of artillery fire, the violent explosion that followed, and a burst of fire, an ironclad battleship that came to attack the opponent was directly hit by a round of artillery salvo from the giant artillery battleship.

Even a single shell fired by this giant cannon can do a lot of damage - not to mention, it is such a salvo now!

Under the bombardment of Duanmu Xinghong's giant cannon, a raging fire ignited on the opponent's battleship - the high temperature generated by the explosion ignited the combustibles on the ship!

Suddenly, the steel beast floating on the sea was shrouded in thick billowing black smoke.

In the midst of the fire, the attack power of the opponent's battleship was reduced a lot.

The temporarily retreating battleship of Duanmu Xinghong's companion also drove back and joined the battle.

A two-on-one naval battle will not be particularly difficult.

Duanjupiter Xinghong and his companion's two warships began to adjust their formation on the sea.

Soon, the two battleships formed an L-shaped formation.

Such a formation is very suitable for dealing with a single battleship - the opponent's battleship, and now no matter what, it cannot fully occupy a horizontal advantageous position in the traditional T-shaped formation of naval warfare - the T-shaped advantageous position relative to one ship is the inferior position relative to another ship.

On Duanjue Xinghong's side, one ship bombarded with heavy firepower, while the other was supplemented by denser and lighter firepower.

Under the crossfire attack of the warships on both sides of the formation, the opponent's battleship could not continue to fight at all, and soon, this battleship was damaged by Duanmu Xinghong and their two ironclad ships.

The opponent's battleship, which was in its own L-shaped formation, could only try to escape.

The crisis at sea has come to an end for the time being.

However, the other side still does not seem to have completely given up on the attack.

Shells from afar, one after another, hit the sea near here - although the other side retreated, but still did not give up the attack.

......

The threat from the sea has not been completely lifted, and the ships on Duanmu Xinghong's side have not been able to continue to provide ground artillery support.

However, on the distant side of the hills and forests, the battle has quietly begun to prepare!

Come and see the woods on their side.

The assault units, which had been lined up for the attack, were now adjusting their formations - from the original formation, a small group of steam tanks was divided.

Looking at it like this, Duanmu Xinghong should have a new plan.

The small group of steam tanks began to move through the woods towards the west—that was the direction of the plain under the hills.

This squad of steam tanks looks somewhat like they're acting as a scouting unit - though it's not certain.

Judging from the direction of the march of this group of assault units, could it be said that Duanmu Xinghong is going to fight on the open plain next?!

It does seem a bit risky!
