The sailors on deck were fine, they had hope of surviving after being wounded. But the sailman on the mast is basically dead as soon as he is hit! Unless he could hold back the pain and hold on to the rope to keep himself from falling off the mast. If they fall, whether in the sea or on the deck, they will have no hope of survival.

When the combined fleet's round of artillery was finished, the gunners, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out of the cabin with a shout and rushed to the gun emplacements on the deck. At the same time, the gun doors on the side sides were also opened in rows. The artillery was pushed out by the sailors, pointing the muzzle of the black hole at the opposite Combined Fleet.

However, Wu Yizhou didn't want to engage in a one-on-one battle in this battle, which was not conducive to developing his firepower. He arranged two staggered rows of stations, one in front and one in the back, into a group. Focus on attacking the lines of the combined forces that are close to your side.

That is, a combined fleet lined up in two battle lines, one of which will take a double blow! At least four flowering shells per round of fire will explode on their ship! It can fully let them experience the feeling of steel rain.

The gunners rushed to the deck through the front and rear hatches, jumped directly into the gun emplacement, reached out and tore off the cover from the bombardment, and began to quickly reload and aim at the opponent. A series of movements are extremely skillful!

However, it was the gunners on the side that fired first. With the order of the gun commander, one cannon after another fired cannonballs in turn! However, they did not fire chain and shotgun, but all solid shells.

Since the advent of Blossom Bullets, the power of shotguns and chain bullets has become much more awkward. Whether it is the ability to destroy sails and decks, or the lethality of sailors, the flowering shell has an all-round advantage. So the gunners simply used solid shells to try to penetrate the opposing side.

After the guns on the side of the board were fired, the short bombardment guns also gave out a dull roar! Shoot the giant flowering bullets!

In fact, as soon as the short-barreled bombardment appeared, his appearance aroused the interest of the officers of the Combined Fleet. Some officers thought it was the pirate king's new weapon! Just look at the caliber of the artillery to know how big the shells are! If such a large cannonball hits a ship, it will be at least a hole the size of a table!

But there are still some armies

The officer insisted that it was something like a whaling fork. It fires a huge fork to hook the opposing ship, so that it can be dragged over for a broadside battle. Because they think that a shell with such a large diameter cannot be fired at a distance of one or two hundred meters.

Colonel Clark had been tracking a bombardment with a telescope. When he saw two sailors working together to fill a cannonball into the chamber, he suspected that the shell might be hollow. Otherwise, two people will definitely not be able to lift such a large-diameter cast iron projectile!

But before he could express his opinion, he saw a burst of red light flash from the thick cannon muzzle, and then a huge cannonball flew out of the smoke!

Everyone who saw this scene gasped! How much gunpowder does such a large shell have to be loaded to fire? Could it be that this group of Orientals really mastered the formula of the new gunpowder? Otherwise, there's no way to explain how that huge cannonball was pushed out by gunpowder!

I saw the cannonball tumbling and flying towards the opponent's battleship. As soon as it flew to the deck, the shell actually exploded with a "boom"! This frightened everyone, including the British!

Wait for them to scream and take a closer look. The ship that was hit in the middle has become like a slaughterhouse! The location of the explosion of this flowering bomb was just above the bridge, and all the officers and sailors on the bridge were instantly torn to pieces! Even the sails on the rear mast were torn into strips of rags!

Just after this explosion of the flowering bomb, three more flowering bombs flew in! One of the flowering shells had a long fuse, and the shell was bounced off the side of the ship and fell into the sea, disappearing silently. But two more flowering shells exploded on this ship!

The second flowering bomb exploded on the side of the ship, tearing a hole more than a meter in the side of the ship! The two groups of gunners inside were either killed or wounded! The last flowering bomb exploded in mid-air, tearing apart several pieces of sail while shooting down the two sailmen on the mast! A sailman fell directly on the deck, and suddenly his flesh and blood splattered, and he couldn't survive! The other sailman screamed and clutched a wound in his abdomen and fell into the sea. Looks like he's dead, too!

As the flowering shells exploded one after another on the ships of the Combined Fleet, the screams on the ships came and went! Most of them are open

The shells were aimed at the upper part of the hull, and the explosion made a mess on the deck! The whole fleet was frightened by this strange, explosive shell! For a while, I forgot to fight back!

However, the people of Wu Yizhou's fleet were not idle, after the first round of salvo fire, the gunners who were holding back their strength followed closely with the second round of shells! After a series of explosions of flowering shells and the "thump" of solid shells smashing on the ship's side, two battleships of the entire battleline of the Combined Fleet burst into flames! Two other ships lost control, broke away from the realignment, and moved haphazardly across the sea.

At this time, the terrified sailors of the Combined Fleet finally came to their senses and began to fight back desperately. Although it also caused considerable damage to Wu Yizhou's fleet, it was nothing compared to the trauma they had suffered!

This is the third blow of Wu Yizhou's fleet! With the distance estimate of the first two shots, the third round of shells hit quickly, densely and accurately! And the flowering spot is also more precise.

After a series of explosions, the sea breeze blew away the gunsmoke, revealing a miserable scene of the Combined Fleet!

On the Holy Grail at the very front of the battle line, two huge holes appeared on the side side! At least four artillery crews were lost! The deck was also blown to pieces by flowering shells.

The Windmill, who was in second place, had good luck and did not cause them much damage due to the flowering bombs. Because the fuse of the flowering bullet fired at him was not set accurately, it was either too long and was ejected after hitting the side of the ship, or it exploded prematurely, only to smoke the side of the ship black. So it can still maintain basic combat effectiveness.

The third battleship, the Scepter, was the most miserable! He was torn open by a flowering bullet in the first two rounds of shooting! The third round of flowering shells caused another fire on his ship! At the moment, the sailors were busy drawing water from the sea to fight the fire. It is believed that in the next round of shelling, these sailors will suffer heavy casualties!

The fourth battleship, the Shepherd, was one of the ones that broke away from the battle line. It just so happened that his course was to the right, closer to Wu Yizhou's fleet! So the third round of artillery blows was simply fatal for him! All the sailors who tried to repair the ropes of the steering wheel fell in a pool of blood! The side of the ship is also covered with large and small wounds, which can basically declare the ship invalid.
