Chapter 478: Punishment from the Heavens
Stepping on the stern of this brig, Zheng Zhilong saw a scene that made him sad.
More than 200 arsonist ships and various clippers struggled to catch up with the warships of the Tiance Army, but the warships of the Tiance Navy Navy went in circles with these small boats.
The naval warships continued to shell the large warships around the large forces of the Zheng family's fleet, while the huge steel battleships suddenly burst into flames, and the arsonist ships were constantly hit by the armor-piercing incendiary shells fired by heavy machine guns, and the arsonist ships and wreckage were scattered along the way.
Wang Yue saw from the air that more than half of the large warships in the Zheng family's fleet were on fire and smoking, and the formation was already scattered. The artillery shells fired by the naval fleet continued to pass through the Zheng family's fleet, and then hit the target one after another, and there were continuous explosions, but as the naval fleet of the Tiance Army began to move, the density of fire decreased.
"If it's Miss, it's time for our show, please sit down!" Wang Yue reminded.
"Performance?" The naval battle below was too exciting, Liu Ru was stunned, Wang Yue suddenly reminded that before she could figure out the intention, Apache had already started to dive from a height of eight hundred meters.
Apache swooped from horizontal flight to a forty-five-degree angle, and the sudden change made Liu tense up, and she clung to the handrail, her eyes widening.
"Tong!" , followed by a sneering sound, Wang Yue had already pressed the launch button, and a Hellfire missile flew towards the target locked in advance - a large three-masted ship.
The Hellfire missile was 1.78 meters long, 177 millimeters in diameter, weighed 45.7 kilograms, and was loaded with 6.8 kilograms of high-energy mixed explosives.
The missile instantly penetrated the upper deck of the Daifuku ship, and the bottom almost penetrated the bottom of the ship before a violent explosion occurred, and the explosion caused the Daifuku ship to jump to the water, and the superstructure and the hull on both sides were blown apart, and a huge hole was broken in the bottom of the ship, and then the Daifuku ship slapped back to the surface of the water again.
At this time, the Daifuku ship almost broke off at the waist, and a single missile caused the Daifuku ship to completely scatter, and the water surface was full of scattered planks and debris.
Then Wang Yue locked onto the next target, and another Hellfire missile flew out, hitting a three-masted Daifuku ship again.
The Apache circled and dived in the air, and the Hellfire missiles roared again and again with tail flames to the enemy ships on the sea below, and the explosions on the sea continued to be heard, destroying the enemy ships and sending water columns into the sky.
After Liu Ru was nervous, she began to look at this war picture that was different from her imagination with excitement, and she was dizzy for a while, this turned out to be a war? Oh, my God!
The explosion of the Hellfire missile was not comparable to those small-caliber naval guns, which immediately attracted the attention of Zheng Zhilong and the others, and when they found out that it was the flying monster in the sky who did the bad thing, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Big, big brother...... This! "Even Zheng Zhibao, who has always been brave and ruthless, was frightened by the six gods, and Apache only ate authentic food when he killed nearly ten Dafu ships in a row.
Zheng Zhilong stared at the blood-red eyes, looked at the huge fleet struggling under artillery fire, and finally shouted out in a hoarse voice: "Retreat, retreat!" ”
He saw that this battle could not be fought, and the speed of his fleet loss was too fast, and in less than half an hour, thirty-seven of the fifty capital battleships were sunk, and the remaining thirteen capital battleships were all shot and wounded.
The more than 300 arsonist ships and clippers of the naval fleet of the Tiance Army were besieged, and only forty or fifty remained; More than 300 medium-sized merchant warships were also sunk fifty or sixty, and nearly 100 were wounded; In addition, more than 300 small and medium-sized merchant warships were sunk, and nearly 100 were sunk, and many people were injured!
The enemy's shells still rained down in his fleet, blowing up columns of water, and the enemy was still three or four miles away, and the speed could not be compared, and the firepower could not be compared, let alone surrounded, at this rate of loss, it could not be encircled at all!
Even if the flagship was destroyed, Zheng Zhilong was still lucky enough to rely on absolute numerical superiority, and there was still hope of encircling the Tiance Army and Navy, but the sudden power of Apache became the last straw that crushed him.
There are still enemies in the sky, and the enemy has set up cannons in the sky, and one cannon is a capital battleship, which is too scary, this is too much beyond cognition, and there is no way to get it!
In fact, without Zheng Zhilong's order to retreat, the Apache suddenly showed his fangs, which frightened the sailors and soldiers in the Zheng family's fleet.
People in this era are very superstitious, especially those who run the sea, originally they were all wondering that Apache was a god passing by, and now the gods immediately frightened their guts, the gods are gods, a big fortune ship, it is indeed boundless!
It seems that we are against the gods, and this war is a complete mistake, and the gods have begun to punish us.
It is precisely because of this mind that after the Apache began to ravage, the Zheng family's fleet began to be chaotic, Zheng Zhilong ordered a retreat, and all the sailors and soldiers were pardoned, and their enthusiasm for retreating was very high, hoping that the gods would see their actions and reduce some punishment!
It's a pity that the gods in the sky were unmoved, even though he saw that many warships of the Zheng family's fleet began to turn around, Wang Yue still drove the Apache to catch up with one Dafu ship after another, sending them to the bottom of the sea one by one.
After the sixteen Hellfire missiles were fired, the Apache circled, Wang Yue turned on the machine gun, and the thirty-millimeter small cannonballs rained down on the Zheng family's fleet.
Two barrages of smoke erupted on the sea, but all the sailboats that were swept away were smashed into pieces, killing and wounding, and the smaller ones were even pierced, and the sea water poured up from under the hole.
After a few round-trips, the Apache sent a dozen more sailing ships to the bottom of the sea and returned to reload, by which time the Zheng family fleet had retreated in confusion.
At this time, the fifty large main warships of the Zheng family's fleet had all sunk, and the remaining twenty or thirty arsonist ships and clippers had fled back to their positions, and the Zheng family's fleet had lost forty percent of its personnel, including ships that burned or were seriously injured on the sea, and less than 600 large and small ships that had fled reflexively.
Wang Yue drove the Apache to slowly land on the dock landing ship, this was the first time he landed on a ship in motion, so he was very careful, the Tiance Navy found out that the Zheng family's fleet had escaped, and immediately stuck to it, but the shelling did not stop.
Finally landed smoothly, the propeller speed was getting lower and lower, Wang Yue jumped off the helicopter, turned around and stretched out his hand to help Liu Ru is very gentlemanly, he smiled and said: "Miss Ru, please take a break, we will return to the blue sky in a while." ”
Liu Ru nodded vigorously, this is really fun, too exciting, and completely different from her original life.
