A Stuart dreadnought-class battleship on the left and right flanked in parallel with the envoy flotilla, and the gun doors were also opened and the shelling began.

The shelling from the flanks caused more damage than the head-on attack, and the ships on the four periphery were attacked, but were not affected.

François of the captain's quarters looked through the porthole, then turned his head and said: "The range of our imitation artillery is shorter than that of the Stuarts, and we cannot attack this distance. Mr. Annan, inform the gun position, and only fire the gun counterattack until about a mile, keeping the gun door closed. ”

Although Jacques in the air could not hear the sound of the cannons, the white fog produced by the artillery salvo was clearly visible, but every time he saw the white fog disperse, the envoy's fleet continued to sail unharmed. This made Jacques feel a little confused, unlike the artillery naval battles recorded in the book, how could there be no ships in the sound of cannons?

Now the envoy's fleet was piling up to break through to the east, and eight of Stuart's great ships surrounded them, two to the east, one to the north and one to the south, and the other four to the west.

Judging by the speed of the ships, the two sides were evenly matched, and if the envoy's fleet could break out from the east, they might be able to escape.

The envoy's fleet and the two ships to the east drew closer and closer until the distance was less than a mile or so, when the shouting in the cabin changed.

"4 degrees! full charge! chain bomb!"

"Changing the chain! Target, mast, sail!"

"Chainbomb!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The chain bullet is composed of two hollow hemispheres, and the two hemispheres are linked by chains, and after being shot, the two hemispheres are separated, but they are implicated by the chains, and they rotate in the air, and the range of damage is greatly expanded.

If a chain bullet hits a sail or a sail line, it can cause a lot of damage, and breaking the sail line will affect the maneuverability of the sailboat, and the purpose of the Stuart fleet is to find a way to slow down the fleeing envoy fleet.

More than eighty rounds of chain shells really had an effect, several sail lines and a few pieces of canvas were broken, and the speed of the second ship on the left immediately slowed down, it had the worst luck, the mainsail was pierced and could not be replaced in a short time.

Even the flagship was broken by a few sail lines, and the sailors hurriedly climbed the mast to replace it, but after such a delay, the formation changed from a sharp arrow formation to a form of three parallel and two dragging back, especially the one on the far left, which would be thrown farther and farther away.

The two Dreadnought-class battleships in the east turned again and fired another round of chain bombs, or the most unlucky second ship on the left, the middle of the foremast was directly broken by the chain!

"Give it up. François said.

The second ship on the left is getting slower and slower, and it really can't keep up with the speed of the entire fleet.

François continued: "Is there anyone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs on that ship?

Annan asked, "Yes, what do you need them to do?"

"Inform the Irga not to open fire, and if you can't stop the other side from boarding the ship, surrender. François said.

Annan wondered: "Surrender......?"

"Tell the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the ammunition depot was lit at the last moment and that the Irga could not be allowed to fall into their hands. François said lightly.

"Inform several other ships, and if they are captured, do the same, and be careful to avoid the others on board. François added.

Annan took the order and left.

After Annan left, François saw Claudia sitting behind the table, his face was a little wrong, he walked to her and sat down opposite her, and said, "Miss Claudia, do you know how much it costs to make a cannon?"

Claudia shook her head.

"Not counting the R&D expenses in the early stage, well, our drawings were obtained from Stuart, blood-soaked drawings, just to say that according to the drawings, we invested tens of millions of R&D expenses, and the cost of subsequent production of each gun will exceed five thousand silver coins. I can't let that end up in the hands of the Stuarts. ”

"In our Saxony, warriors fight to the death of exhaustion is the most glorious and glorious, and if they surrender, they have lost their glory for their lives, but the result is ......"

"Okay, we have to find a way to escape. If you are intercepted, you will die, and I have just been exposed, and there is no way to live. Not only us, but the Stuarts will not be able to survive if they ambush us? So it's not that I want them to die, they were killed by the Stuarts. ”

The battleship shook violently, and the side received a shot. Annan ran in from the door and said, "Your Highness, we have entered the best range, can we fire back?"

François said: "Shoot back!, with a chain bullet, hit the sail!"

The side gun doors of the envoy fleet finally opened, and the black hole pointed the guns at the Stuart warships on both sides.

"Boom!"

The envoy fleet has finally fired back!

"No wonder!" exclaimed Jacques and Fat Orange at the same time.

Artillery has become so widespread that even the royal family has it!

The results of this round of shelling were indeed good, and the sails of the two battleships in the north and south were damaged to varying degrees.

The result was so good, on the one hand, luck, and on the other hand, the Stuart battleships did not expect the enemy to return fire at all, exposing the entire side to the enemy's attack range.

At this time, two battleships intercepted head-on from the east collided head-on. This side was also ready for the collision a long time ago, and the left and right ships immediately met it, leaving the flagship with a chance to escape.

At this distance, both sides returned to the traditional way of naval warfare, with source energy techniques attacking, ramming, and hand-to-hand combat on board.

It's just that the high-end transcendents on the two ships of the envoy fleet have been transferred to the flagship, and after getting closer, their firepower is much weaker, and before they can hit, they have been completely suppressed, the sails are almost broken, and the deck is also a mess, and almost no one can stand.

The ramming angle of the envoy fleet was a triangular cone, while the ramming angle of the battleship was much more ornate and was a lion-headed statue.

I saw that the triangular cone was pressed by the lion's head, and the sound of the wood clattering came out, and the lion's head was directly embedded in the opponent's warship.

A group of armored warriors jumped onto the envoy's ship along the lion's head, and they scattered in groups of three to clear the ship layer by layer.

The envoy's seamen, most of whom surrendered with their hands tied, were driven above deck.

Although two ships broke out of the encirclement and continued to the east, the command of the Stuart fleet was not in a hurry, and thousands of miles to the east by sea could always catch up.

"Bang!"

A loud bang rang out from the captured envoy battleship, and the hull immediately split into two sections, and a huge column of water rushed into the sky. Planks, sails, and human bodies were tossed into the sky and into the sea.

"Bang!"

The people were still stunned by the first explosion, and the second explosion came, and another warship that was captured after the impact also blew itself up.

The backward second ship on the left was also surrounded by the Stuart battleship, but the Stuart battleship did not dare to get any closer, and the two explosions had damaged their two ships, although they could continue to sail, but the bow was also scarred, with many holes, and hundreds of dead and wounded.

Unable to move forward and take prisoners, the Stuart commander simply ordered an artillery bombardment, sinking it.

Under the continuous shelling, the warship known as the Irgar also slowly sank.
