***************************************************************************）

At this moment, looking from afar above the sea, it seems that the pot is boiling above the sea.

In the formation of the entire British fleet, it was like the artillery fire of the National Day.

Serpents of fire rose up, tongues of fire fell from the sky, and disaster befell the British because of the intrusion of the Holliman detachment.

To add fuel to the fire, at this time, the two peripheral detachments had completed the tactics of decoying the enemy before they again fired a salvo at both ends of the British fleet's formation axis.

The two ends of the long defensive formation of the British fleet were shrouded in countless flying in the night sky, like some enchantresses dancing excitedly in the dark night, and they pierced the endless night sky like sharp arrows with their sharp "voices".

One by one, the crimson ballistics crossed the sky like a wild dancing elf writhing their waists, and the explosion sound was like a drum beat to accompany them, continuous and fierce to promote their yearning for joy.

The Holliman squadron, which had rushed into the British fleet cluster, seemed to be facing a siege. But the great maneuvering must have caused them to stick not far from the bow or stern of the British battleship, and at this time the fire fired at them would cease abruptly.

The tight defensive formation made it impossible for the British to open fire freely on their own internal lines, and if they were so tight and so many ships had lost their mobility, if they fired, there was no doubt that most of the shells would fall on their own large ships.

And those ghost-like devils, who rely on their extremely fast speed, often stick to their own warships, and no one will easily fire unless they are absolutely sure.

The sails of the British battleships burned in the dense fire of the 60mm raindrop guns. Or where the rudder of the British battleship was installed at the stern, the cannons would have been ignited and blown up by the small shells that rained down like drops.

Most of the British ships hit by darts only needed one shell, and they were seriously wounded, and the fire immediately decreased due to the need to drain the water. As a result, although the main cannon is slower, the darts are more powerful, proving that they need to shoot accurately.

The warship that was taken care of by the modified "Thor" was full of bullet holes, and if one was not careful, the gunpowder would be detonated and ignite a fire that was almost impossible to extinguish, until the ship was destroyed and people died. In order to reach a salvo that destroys a target, almost every salvo is fired.

The 60mm guns, on the other hand, were like a swarm of enraged wasps, and their targets were defined by Holliman as the sails and stern of enemy ships at close range. Due to the arbitrariness of the choice of targets, such a situation arose on the sea surface.

When a 60mm gun searches for a target, the aperture it casts will soon be superimposed by the aperture on the other guns, and often the brightness of one aperture can completely determine the life and death of a warship.

Because, at this time, the warship was not faced with the blow of the first gun, but with 200 rounds of accurate 60-mm shells in one minute, and even if their penetrating power was not satisfactory, where could a wooden battleship withstand their rapid fire for a minute. So not to mention the rudder and sail system, there is often a whole stern that is often shattered.

However, among the weapons of the "Fire Phoenix-class cruisers", the most shady is the "enlarged version of the flying crossbow" that is all mechanically driven, known as the "1648-style repeating ballista". The maximum range reached a distance of 350 meters, an extremely high rate of fire, and their mission was to suppress the deck of the enemy ship.

Therefore, the intensive fire of the three "1648-style repeating ballistae" on one side would kill more than half of the gunners and crew members on the deck of the British warships they were aiming at almost instantly. At this time, not to mention the operation of guns, it is not easy to find a safe place to hide on the deck.

Robert Black, the commander of the British fleet, was still trying to compose himself, although he was constantly giving orders for his fleet to attack.

However, at the same time, he also painfully found that such a warship was simply not something they could resist. There is little accuracy in shelling at night like this, and even concentrated fire is very ineffective.

This was because the gunners had never fought such slippery ships, they were so fast, and they didn't know what kind of rudders they were using, so that they could turn quickly, and even they could juggle around their ships in such a vaudeville manner, which was an incredible thing.

When these strange ships came near his own warship, Robert Blake took advantage of the fire on his own warship to see the ghosts of the night.

"A battleship like this!"

His mouth uttered a sound of almost admiration, looking at such a battleship with the eyes of a naval connoisseur.

First of all, their low and strange shape makes it easy for lookouts to mistake them for a reef that is common in the ocean, or the backs of a group of whales that are common in the ocean.

Secondly, they are shaped in such a way as to allow for the addition of devices to protect their own crews, and it has been observed that so far not a single shell of their own has penetrated their armor.

As for the artillery fire they fired, the power of the shells that dragged the tongues of fire was already self-evident, as evidenced by the burning of their own warships around them.

In particular, those large-caliber shells, launched with a "boom", accompanied by a sharp sound, dragging a fiery red tongue of fire, they are not at all like the arc that ordinary shells want to cross, they seem to be flying close to the sea.

Here you can see that these shells can be seen as if they hit the side of your own battleship, like a steel cone piercing through the leather. As the flames in its tail were obscured by the deck of the battleship, as if extinguished in an instant, the hit battleship would let out a dull explosion.

If it was an armed merchant ship used to transport infantry, it would have been a terrible thing. Because the thinner side of the ship simply could not withstand such a blow, a large hole would surely burst out of the place where it was hit, and a large number of fragments would shoot out from there.

Finally, as if God had finally heard the prayers of the British, the five "Fire Phoenix-class cruisers" commanded by Horry rushed out of the British formation, and rushed into the tall water column formed by the cannonballs fired at him at great speed with the still continuous artillery fire.

With their departure, there was no more dense drumming in the British fleet, no more banshees flying in the night sky and "shrill laughter", only flaming warships and soldiers surviving in the water.
