The cutting-edge ironclad ship Heijin at his feet gave Luo Zhengdao confidence, this capital ship with the best performance in the pirate fleet is a Dinghaishen needle, as long as it can ensure that the Heijin runs well, it is more valuable than most of the pirate fleet, this is an epoch-making new weapon, and the potential should not be underestimated. If the sister ship Gold, which was still lying on the slipway of Wake Reef, could be launched, the main purpose of the other old battleships would have to be changed to soy sauce, just as it was logical that the ironclads in the old world completely replaced the wooden warships.

Luo Zhengdao has a convinced attitude of his strategic concept, and he wants to fight with the ironclad ships, and the Yaling first-class and second-class battleships may have a chance to fight each other, and the other battleships in the New World can only be rammed goods that deliver food to the door.

At this time, looking at the goblin battleship that was getting closer and closer, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but remind Captain Scarlet Yan and said:

"Hey, Brando, you're going to have to aim and fire, it's too late to reload."

Hearing the sound, Brando Scarlet, who was in the middle of a lawsuit, glared at someone angrily and didn't say a word, does he still use this kind of basic military common sense to remind him? It is true that the 11o pound cannon of the ironclad ship can be called a powerful man, and the turret covered with three-inch thick wrought iron armor can also be called indestructible, but the problem is that such a large-caliber cannon is stuffed into a turret with a small space and manually loaded. Did you have an automatic loader in those days? Even without considering the impact of the enemy's attack, the ability of these two giant cannons to hit one in five minutes is the limit, so the artillery must pursue the hit rate.

"Bearing, correct the left one."

Vina Dubov, the commander of the gun, took turns using several observation instruments on his body, and then reported the number of observations, and after the gunners who received the instructions fine-tuned the angle of the cannon, after Brando Scarlet gave the order to attack, the main gunner pulled the bolt hard.

Instead of the dangerous open flame ignition and the old-fashioned fuse, the fire cap-style bolt was now pulled by the cannon rope and struck the silk-wrapped stone pine powder medicine bag in the barrel, and a roar and dazzling golden flames appeared at the same time. Then, a trail of ballistics from the muzzle of the cannon to the enemy ship appeared over the Aether Sea, and everyone waited with bated breath for the result.

The ammunition used for the ironclad's 11o pound gun is not a spherical explosive projectile, and the specially customized cylindrical projectile body is solid at the front end, and the rear half is the warhead with a hollow charge, which is designed to maximize armor-piercing ability and explosive intensity. When the first live ammunition was made, when attacking light warships such as cruisers and light cruisers, there were often two holes in one hole, and the time-delay fuse did not have time to detonate the charge, and the shells penetrated out from the other side of the target ship, which was equivalent to a blind man lighting a lamp in vain. In order to avoid hidden dangers, Luo Zhengdao issued a special regulation prohibiting the use of ironclad ships' main guns to attack light warships, and even if an exception must be made as a last resort, it can only use old-fashioned spherical bullets, grapeshot bullets, and shotguns, and it is absolutely forbidden to use solid armor-piercing shells and explosive shells that also have semi-armor-piercing capabilities.

At this moment, the dark golden trajectory stretched forward in a low trajectory, and the slightly tapered tip of the warhead shuddered as it touched the side of the right side of the goblin battleship, and then the three-yard-long cannonball disappeared into the depths of the goblin warship's hull, as easily as if a hot knife had been used to cut a piece of butter.

"Boom-"

There was a loud bang like a thunderbolt, the explosion of an 11o pounder shell and a series of smaller explosions that followed on the goblin warship, followed by an earth-shattering bang, and those familiar with naval warfare knew that it must have been the ammunition piled up on the lower gun deck.

After the serial explosion, there was a strange "squeak" sound from this goblin battleship, and after two consecutive "click" sounds, two of the three masts of this unlucky goblin battleship fell leisurely. The surface damage that can be seen with the naked eye alone is nothing, and billowing black smoke continues to pour out from the lower gun doors of the goblin battleship, and from time to time golden flames are sprayed outward from the gun doors, and the goblin battleship at this time seems to have become an active volcano, constantly swallowing flames and smoke.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the goblin sailors on the ship jumped directly from the side of the ship in a panic with life-saving equipment, apparently giving up even the last effort to save the battleship.

"Hooray! Hit! ”

Faintly hearing the cheers coming from the pirate fleet, it was really like sprinkling a handful of salt on the bloody wound in Modo Blackwater's heart, and its eyes were about to burst out, and it muttered:

"How is this possible?"

Looking at his own sixth-level battleship White Dove, which was instantly paralyzed by an 11o pound flowering bullet from a pirate battleship, Modo Blackwater was simply terrified, what a murderous cannon!

After a few seconds of blank thought, Modo Blackwater recovered from its shock, and then it realized that it had made a fool of itself, and in annoyance, it drew its saber and shouted:

"Fight back! Shoot back now! ”

"Woo-"

At this moment, a low buzzing sound began to linger in the ears of the goblins, and the lookout immediately shouted an alarm:

"Sir, the enemy is up there!"

That's right, the goblin fleet, which was stunned by the fierce blow of the Black Gold, only noticed the destructive 11o pounder front gun of the ironclad, and naturally ignored the dozen or so seaplanes that were flying from a height of less than 100 meters above the sea surface. These little mosquito-like buzzing creatures were nothing compared to the huge formation of warships not far away, but soon the harsh facts would teach them that the threat of a weapon was not always proportional to its size.

"Prepare to dive and drop bombs!"

Raising his hand and making a tactical gesture to his wingman, the pilot of the bomber pilot, numbered OO1, pushed the joystick hard, and his nose immediately descended, and the pirate fighter launched a dive attack at a 3o degree angle.

The pirate fighters adopted the standard head-on attack pattern against the goblin warships below, and at the moment most of the goblin ship's weapons posed no threat to these aircraft, so the pilots just had to watch out for goblin musketeers and archers coming from the direction of the mast. As the gravity of the high dive pressed the pilot's entire body against the leather seat, the bombardier-machine gunner in the back seat stretched out his arm and patted his colleague on the shoulder. After a violent jolt, the pilot, who was struggling to pull the control stick, obviously felt that the weight of the fuselage had been reduced a lot, and he operated the plane to draw a U-shaped track in the air and turn back.

"Bang-"

"Ahh It's an incendiary bomb! Quick, abandon ship! ”

In order to make up for this shortcoming, the bombers of the wheel-activated air raid dropped not the standard version of the stone pine spore powder bomb, but the homemade incendiary bomb made of mixed oil and alchemy mixture in small oak barrels, which was detonated in a delayed way. At this moment, under the leadership of the first bomber, one bomber after another dived and dropped bombs, and those round and fat incendiary bombs fell from the sky like hail to the surface of the sea one after another.

Several nervous bombardiers and two-knife pilots did not cooperate well and failed to accurately hit the goblin battleship below, but fortunately, the incendiary bombs had a large enough coverage area. When the time-delay fuse burned out, a brilliant rain of fire in the shape of an umbrella erupted in mid-air, successfully igniting the sail rope device on the Goblin Warship that passed nearby, along with all the other qiē combustibles.

Anyone would be moved by the dazzling bombing scene of the blazing flames and the rumbling explosions that kept flashing and the rumbling explosions coming and going. The goblin sailors, who felt that there was no hope of protecting the ship, simply abandoned the ship and escaped, and they jumped into the Aetheric Sea with a piece of driftwood in their arms. Although this aimless drifting escape is risky, it is much safer than staying on a warship that may explode at any moment.

It is not for nothing that the Goblin Navy is so lame and lacks fighting spirit, and the tragic losses brought to the Second Goblin Empire by the fall of the Armada do not lie in the destruction of those warships at all, and the sequelae are much greater than the material losses.

Build more ships with better performance, which is not a problem for the Goblin Second Empire, which sits on the resources of the entire main big 6. However, naval officers with sufficient practical experience in navigation and capable sailors who are familiar with naval warfare cannot be trained overnight. Even if Modo Heishui and Zheti Baishan, who had been ostracized by their colleagues at the time, were lucky enough to escape, they could not command this group of goblin soldiers who had just transferred from the 6th Army.

It's understandable to think about it, no matter how accurate and wise the commander above is, they can only watch their subordinates panic and bump around like headless flies, that's when the gods come!

In the killing battlefield where flesh and blood are flying and life is fleeting, rookie soldiers are the source of chaos that is most likely to panic, and it just so happens that intelligent creatures are all group-specific, and extreme emotions are very easy to spread among groups. Suppose one person in a group yawns, and everyone else around them will subconsciously follow suit, let alone on the battlefield on the line of life and death. At the critical moment, as long as one soldier turns and flees, the others will subconsciously follow suit, and the entire front will collapse in an instant. Because of this, all deserters on the battlefield will be executed, which is a military law that has never been changed since the birth of such an organization as the army, and the only difference is that the execution method has changed from beheading to shooting.

It is also an indisputable fact that it has lost its first-mover advantage on the battlefield and has fallen into extreme chaos, judging from the analysis of several jù, the goblin fleet still has an absolute advantage.

485 goblin warships vs 45 pirate warships, the difference in the strength of the two sides is so large that the stronger side ensures that the opponent is absolutely crushed. But in fact, Modo Heishui clearly felt that he was being ruthlessly crushed by Luo Zhengdao's privateer fleet, and this strange sense of disobedience was really an indescribable pain! Could it be that it opened the wrong way?
