Chapter 209: The Sea of Torpedoes Rushing

In order to ensure that the torpedo had sufficient reliability, when choosing the contact device, Luo Zhengdao abandoned the acidic time-delay fuze with a high probability of dud bombs, and instead used a universal contact fuse composed of 36 fire caps. One of the advantages of this is that the probability of hitting the target without detonating is extremely low, and the cost is that the sensitivity of the warhead is too high, almost comparable to the old world-famous pit nine-triacid torpedo.

Excluding the overly sensitive warhead, the red-headed torpedo, officially named the "Lance", has a powerful warhead with a 300-pound charge, and what is even more terrifying is that once it hits the target, the residual fuel of the rocket-like motive in the missile will add another fire. This kind of violent destruction method of continuous explosion and burning, even if it is a sea monster with steel protection from top to bottom such as an ironclad ship, it may not be a big problem to be hit by one, and a few more will have to be kneeled.

Luo Zhengdao was originally inclined to use professional torpedo boats to replace these half-hanging mine strike ships, which was a new type of ship that used rocket motive and completely canceled sails and masts, and from the outside it was not much different from the torpedo boats of the old world, but the general feature of the new weapons was low reliability, this fact could not help but make people teary-eyed!

During the recent live-fire exercise, as many as 11 of the 40 torpedo boats involved in tactical assault operations broke down in the middle of the tunnel due to various malfunctions. The new torpedo launcher with a weight-reducing design is also very strange, and the probability of failure is as high as 50 percent. This qiē was seen by Luo Zhengdao, and if he insisted on taking an unreliable torpedo boat out to relax, it would definitely be a problem in the brain.

At this time, as one after another lightning strike ships threw a large number of torpedoes into the sea, these killing weapons automatically deployed their balance wings located in the middle and tail of the bomb body after entering the water, and then rushed forward at a height of more than 70 knots.

In order to ensure that the contact fuse will not explode early, the warhead is covered with a copper shell formed by hydraulic stamping, and Luo Zhengdao ordered people to paint the sharp teeth and eyes of sharks on it, and people who don't know the inside story thought it was some kind of terrible predator when they saw the torpedo speeding in the water at first glance.

For a moment, the blue waves were full of torpedoes scurrying against the sea, and the scarlet bloody mouth and the image of Bai Sensen's teeth multiplied the tension of the witnesses.

Suffering from the large-scale lightning strike battle caused by the pirate fleet, the panicked goblin fleet was tossed and miserable, don't forget, they also have to watch out for those bombers that pass through the air, from time to time whistling and diving to drop bombs, this is up and down, left and right, it is really difficult to take care of it!

After being slapped head-on, Modo Black Water was so angry that a mouthful of old blood spurted out, which clearly showed that the technology of bullying goblins was backward! At the same time, with the idea of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Luo Zhengdao signaled and ordered the two ironclad ships to attack the goblins with a formation of battleships. Even if the distance is far away and the hit rate is so low that it is speechless, judging from the shape of the battlefield alone, the privateer fleet has completely suppressed the goblin fleet in terms of momentum, and it is impossible to see that they are the weaker side.

The battle situation in front of him was strikingly similar to the pre-war war game deduction, and Luo Zhengdao, who was overjoyed, greeted the herald and said:

"Fly the assault signal flag and act as planned."

"These damn hairless monkeys, convey my orders, and the detachments are free to move."

Sensing that the battle was getting out of control, Modo Blackwater immediately made a seemingly unreasonable move, and instead of trying to restore order, he gave the order to fight separately.

Luo Zhengdao, who is short of troops, has always liked to play slashing tactics, and in the defeat record of previous battles, he was defeated by pirates with a single blow and lost his unified command, which is one of the main reasons for the defeat of the goblin crusade army, and it is said that eight out of ten times were caused by this trick. The big goblin commander had lost a lot and had accumulated a wealth of experience in defeat, and it clearly sensed that the opponent had begun to play tricks again, and immediately ordered the fleet to disperse and fight. Although he will lose some of his advantage as a result, Modo Blackwater is convinced of the difference in the number of chips on both sides at the table, and the fact that the goblins will consume a privateer fleet that will kill humans.

"Shhh These greenskins have learned to be smart, too! ”

Dear, what about the good chopping tactics? Suddenly seeing that the opponent had grown his ability again, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but feel disappointed, and not pinning his hopes on a single choice is the basic requirement for becoming a military strategist. Military affairs is a systematic and rigorous science, not gambling and fighting for character, even for an impostor pseudo-military strategist like him.

The scattered actions of the goblin fleet increased the difficulty of the opponent's victory, but Luo Zhengdao's real target was not the enemy in front of him, his eyes were always on the transport fleet that came with the large fleet.

There is a saying in the old world, no matter how powerful the navy is, it can't go ashore, and the situation in the new world is slightly different, taking advantage of the great tide of Mana when the battleship throws away all the ballast, and the 6 land sailing is not impossible, but it is a pity that the current time node does not cooperate with this kind of visual effect is very rebellious gambling tactics, and the navy has to rely on the cooperation of the 6th army to attack the target in 6 places. Compared with the more than 500 warships of the Goblin Grand Fleet, the fleet of more than 200 transport ships in the back is not very large. However, with more than 20,000 goblin infantry and weapons and equipment on board, if they were piled up in the port area of Wake Reef, Luo Zhengdao was not sure that they would be annihilated without damage, and knocking out the transport fleet at sea as soon as possible was the safest way to win.

"The signal flag was raised, the battleship detachment maneuvered with the flagship, and the rest of the battleships retreated back to port."

Leaving behind such a sentence, Luo Zhengdao quickly devoted all his energy to calculating the activity laws of the goblin fleet, and the ironclad ship is worthy of the praise of the industry's strong guns, but the low artillery fire is an unsolvable congenital defect, and the projection density of the two layers of secondary guns on the side deck cannot meet the practical needs of suppressing a large number of enemy ships at the same time.

In the interval between the main guns of the ironclad ships, the old wooden battleships were needed to provide fire support, so Luo Zhengdao brought twelve wooden sail battleships as the helpers of the two ironclad ships, and this time he made up his mind to fight the goblin fleet to the end.

Thanks to the successful development of new rocket fuels and the replacement of propellant and cermet nozzles, the voyage of the ironclad ships Gold and Black Gold has been greatly improved. In the early days, the price of alchemy mixtures remained high, and the rocket-type engine could not be operated for a long time, a disadvantage that changed with the popularization of new fuels for petroleum refining. Even if the afterburner jet system is not turned on, these two huge ironclad battleships can run up to eighteen knots of cruising degree when downwind, on the other hand, the Yangwei that was previously installed with the "True Demon Pattern Cloth" is only slightly faster than these two large lumps of metal, considering that there is almost no comparison between the two in terms of defensive power, this effect is equivalent to the degree of an elephant running out of a cheetah, it is really a demon!

The Goblin Navy, which is a chess player, quickly realizes what it is like to be crushed by a side that is backward in weapon technology, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten, which is where the real universal value lies.

"Don't dodge, run over head-on!"

There were too many goblin warships in front of him, and it was impossible to avoid or sink them with artillery fire, so Luo Zhengdao crossed Brando Scarlet in front of the flagship Golden in the gap of main gun loading, and directly issued an assault order to the first officer.

"Click......"

Different from the old wooden battleship remodeled from the Black Gold, the Gold is the first ironclad ship in the new world with pure blood, and the impact angle of the ship with a specially reinforced structure will not cause serious damage even if it hits a reef, and it is even less likely that there will be any problems if it collides with a wooden sail battleship. As the first mate called the engine room with the brass pipe to turn on the afterburner propulsion system, the gold with white and blue flames spewed out from the tail nozzle, and ran straight over the goblin cruiser that could not be dodged in front of it with great brutality.

Accompanied by a series of creaking noises, the goblin cruiser shattered like a matchbox, and when it landed, the raging waters poured white foam from the broken planks into the cruiser's cabin. In less than half a minute, the goblin battleship disappeared into the sea, and the only trace left was the wreckage of broken wooden planks and empty barrels floating on the surface.

This unfortunate scene was seen by Modo Blackwater, who almost gritted his teeth with hatred, and the goblin commander was not incompetent, and saw the brutality and arrogance of his opponent, and he knew in his heart that it was killing himself by shooting at a distance, so he ordered:

"Fly the assault flag, stick the pirate ship, and prepare for the broadside battle."

Good tigers can't stand up to wolves! At this time, as the blades and arrows of the entire battleship formation, the two ironclad ships marched forward side by side, and the goblin battleships hovering around the periphery poured artillery fire on the two ironclad ships, and even so, this last madness still could not penetrate the heavy multi-layer composite armor protection. Seeing their flagship hoisting the assault flag, in order to stop the pirate fleet from continuing to advance recklessly, many goblin warships swooped down with a mortal spirit, trying their best to stop the pirate fleet's overwhelming advance.

Soon, the shape on the battlefield became delicate, and even if it only took a short time to kill a goblin battleship, the two ironclad ships could not help but fall into a bitter battle in the face of the enemy warships that came one after another.

Luo Zhengdao's flagship gold, the secondary guns on both sides of the broadside due to a long period of fierce fighting, the bronze barrel overheated after continuous firing, and the gunners had to risk detracting from the service life to pour water on the cannon to cool, so that it could only temporarily alleviate the crisis, and when the barrel overheated again, there would be a danger of exploding the barrel if it continued to fire.

At this point, you can't give the order to retreat! Even if the pirates wanted to leave, they would have to ask the goblins if they would agree. Luo Zhengdao glanced at the battlefield full of flames, and shouted loudly:

"Shoot flares and notify the bombers to come to our aid."
