The British warships were all modified British Galen, four-masted galleons with a displacement of about 1,000 tons, the number of one-sided guns was about 70, and the loading time took about 30 seconds on average.

Such a density of firepower can form a crushing effect when facing a fleet of warships, including the Spaniards, as long as it forms a scale.

But unfortunately, after the previous technological innovations, the loading speed of our warships has been compressed to about four seconds, and according to the same artillery density, our firepower density exceeds theirs by seven times!

In other words, the difference in the amount of firepower projection between the two sides per unit of time is more than seven times, which is no longer a matter of strength, but the crushing effect brought by the generation difference!

What's more, our elite warship group has completed the full military effectiveness modification according to my plan beforehand, dismantling all non-artillery facilities, leaving only the necessary superior facilities and command equipment, and all other spaces have become combat sites.

In other words, the number of one-sided guns of the same type and displacement between our and the British has already exceeded one hundred and twenty, and after calculating the difference in rate of fire, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is already an order of magnitude worse.

Therefore, although the number of British warships was nearly twice as large as ours, the outcome of the battle was not difficult to predict under the suppression of generational weapons.

The southwesterly wind blowing in the air filled the sails, and our fleet quickly pulled a mile-long line of battle like a sharp knife, sliding along the coastline on the west side of the Oslo Strait towards the British fleet!

The commander of the other side was very experienced, and he had long expected that we were coming to rescue Drake, who was already a trapped beast, and after seeing our layout, he knew that we had the upper hand, so he no longer made a useless struggle, but quickly flattened the formation of the fleet, forming a shuttle formation that could best withstand the shelling!

At the same time, they had no choice but to charge as fast as possible in our direction, against the wind and with the current.

This is also a last resort in naval warfare. They knew that rushing forward would be a target for our shots, but it was their only option.

Occupying the upper hand, in fact, they quickly adjusted their formation, and it was also one of the ways to open a battle line with our side, and it was also more secure.

According to the general situation, the result of such a confrontation should be the victory of the stronger side, which is also in line with the result they expected.

But the British obviously guessed that the leader of this fleet here was me, the Oriental man who was so hated by Elizabeth that he smashed countless treasures!

Therefore, they did not intend to let such a good opportunity slip through their fingers, but chose to quickly approach our fleet, and after intensive bombardment and crushing of our formation by superior forces, they would sink or capture our flagship, so as to exchange for immeasurably high rewards after returning home!

"Humph!" Looking at their formation, I had already guessed what the other party was thinking, so I shouted to the Nine Ghosts Masataka: "The artillery is placed every four to reduce the firepower to one-fifth!" Let the enemy walk in a bit, and when you get close to a nautical mile or so, destroy the main enemy force with all your might! ”

A smile flashed in the eyes of the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao, and he said yes to him, and then turned around to make arrangements.

"Is it really good to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger like this?" The Nine Ghosts are filial piety, but their subordinates are not idle, and they quickly convey my intentions to all ships.

The artillery went off! Compared to the firepower density that I have become accustomed to, the current firepower is simply pitiful!

Even if a few shots hit the opponent's ship, it was difficult to form substantial damage, but it stimulated the opponent's fighting spirit, and the speed of the ship was further accelerated!

Hehe! You want to start charging early and disrupt your shooting rhythm!

Too young, too simple! If I'm still bothered by such childish tactics, then I'm not me!

The Nine Ghosts Masataka looked at the approaching enemy fleet in front of him from a distance and looked up at me.

With a smile on my face, I said softly, "No problem, continue with the original plan!" ”

The Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao was much calmer than back then, without showing any panic, pursed his lips and smiled, and then looked at the ships on the sea and stopped talking.

It's closer! It's getting closer!

I have even seen the flags of the opposing ships, and their speed cannot be raised, but the sailors standing in the bow of the ship are showing off their might, and it seems that they are sure that they have won the battle!

Come on! I secretly said in my heart that since Elizabeth chose to ignore my interests, it was destined that there would be a battle between us, and this battle would surely come sooner or later!

And today's battle, let's kick off this battle or war!

"Sir! The distance between the two sides is already close to a nautical mile! The Nine Ghosts shouted loudly.

I pulled out the boy cut with a "swish" and swung it in the direction of the enemy ship: "Fire with all your might!" Sink them for me! ”

Everyone including the Nine Ghosts has been waiting for this moment for a long time! After the completion of the renovation of our fleet, we have been quietly conducting live-fire exercises in the open sea, but we have never had the experience of conducting large-scale live-fire exercises.

Today's battle can be called the best state for experimenting with new tactics in terms of scale and actual battlefield environment, and in a sense, it can even be regarded as an ideal state, so how can it make everyone not excited?

As the order was delivered, I heard the faint sound of machinery—the movement of countless loaders as they began to reload rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, there was the expected volley of a thousand cannons, which was like a landslide and a crack!

The rising barrage accompanied by billowing smoke made me feel like I was in a first-person perspective of a dream script, and I was indescribably thrilled and shocked!

The enemy did not react too much when they were under the first two rounds of intensive shelling, because they clearly guessed that we would hide some of our fire at the beginning and start the intensive attack when they reached the area where the fire was concentrated and there was no way to escape.

However, the British, relying on their deep knowledge of ships of the same type, thought that they had seen through our firepower plan, so after fully estimating the intensity of our firepower, they still charged at us at full speed!

But after three rounds of fire, the British began to panic - it is not difficult to understand that they are familiar with the intensity of a single fire, the intensity of a salvo of medium-caliber artillery is only. Although the density of firepower has been significantly strengthened, the total scale is still predictable.

What really shocked them was the rate of our fire, the amount of ammunition that can be fired per unit of time is a certain amount, which cannot be disguised at all.

With the most advanced artillery of their type, in their opinion, the most advanced guns in the world, even our shooters will not be able to break through the limit of firing rate every twenty-five seconds, even if they are trained rigorously!

But they saw with their own eyes that our artillery was firing at an incredible rate of fire about every four seconds!

At first, they thought that we were firing rapidly, that is, the artillery was firing in turns, but after the rain of shells fell overhead, their lookouts began to cry out in despair: "It's over!" Their artillery is enchanted! The rate of fire is seven times higher than ours! Seven times as much! ”

Panic began to spread rapidly like a plague on every ship, and countless Britons threw down their work and desperately climbed to the side of the ship, staring wide-eyed and stunned at the rounds of smoke rising from our gun emplacements!

Is it really magical? The British began to despair. They would rather believe that they are in a nightmare, and they can't believe that what is in front of them is actually the truth anyway!

But the situation of the battle did not change in any way because they believed it or not, and a minute after we began firing with all our might, the main mast of the ships in the forward position of the British fleet was completely broken, and the side of the other battleship next to it was broken, and after a severe leak, it began to roll over!

This situation began to spread between the British fleet, and the British began to turn the bow of the ship in desperation, wanting to return fire with artillery and suppress our firepower.

But crossing the hull and revealing the fragile belly of the ship in the range of our intensive precision fire is tantamount to suicide!

The probability of ricochet hitting the bow of the ship began to decrease rapidly, and as the angle of the ship became larger and larger, the breakdown rate of the shells became higher and higher, and by the time they completely crossed the ship, the breakdown rate had exceeded 90 percent!

What does this mean?

There is no second possibility, and the only thing that awaits them is destruction!

Countless British warships were torn open from their armor and decks, and they watched as their own ships were broken by locust-like shells, turning them into sinking debris and sawdust.

The British sailors were terrified and endured the deep horror brought by the dimensionality reduction blow, until the cold sea water was not overhead, and their consciousness gradually dissipated due to the lack of oxygen, and then slowly ended this slaughter-like battle brought about by the weapon generation.

The Strait of Oslo was filled with smoke, and every unsunken British warship was smoking, the last color they left to the world.

A gray and black smoke screen hung over the sky, as well as over the hearts of the British, who had not yet sunk with the ships.

Really defeated? Until now, the British could not believe that this was really true. After so many years of crisscrossing the sea, all this reached its peak after defeating the Spaniards, but in their proud hearts, they never imagined that there would be such a day of destruction!

However, facts are facts. Under the dazzling performance of the steel torrent, how long can the wooden hull withstand it?

As the sun gradually descended from mid-sky and approached the sea level, the originally dense sound of artillery began to fade until it disappeared.

Because there is no longer anything worth bombarding on the sea.

This battle, which had been accompanied by the complete destruction of the British fleet, ended without suspense......
