"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, Xu Qingyuan's warship was full of laughter.

I'm afraid that the Dinghai Fleet just now would never have thought that there would be such a thing.

A turn with such a small radius in a naval battle like Xu Qingyuan's fleet just now is actually impossible on a sail warship in this era.

The sails of the sail battleship are all soft sails, the soft sails are subject to the wind, they can be made larger, the mast can also be higher, the cost is low, the operator is less, and they are far more suitable for long-distance voyages than the hard sails, but the soft sails also have a fatal weakness, that is, the soft sails cannot use the wind in different directions to steer flexibly like the hard sails.

Like the kind of tactical action of Xu Qingyuan's fleet just now, it is impossible for the Dinghai Fleet on the battlefield to do it.

Therefore, the difference between a steam battleship and a sail battleship is here, one is dependent on the sky for food, the other is its own power, and the mobility of the two sides in a small area is simply worlds apart.

At this time, the boilers on the ships of Xu Qingyuan's fleet were already filled with coal, and the power provided by the boilers allowed the fleet to run ahead, as if the enemy would never be able to catch up.

The enemy soon discovered this,

"Oh my God!"

"Oh my God!"

The high speed of the steam warship soared and made the officers and men of the Dinghai Fleet stunned.

"Dashuai!" Yuan Fang, the commander of the Dinghai Fleet, stood behind Cheng Kexun and looked at the enemy ship in front of him worriedly, "The enemy ship has a ghost!" ”

As if it was at this time that he suddenly noticed the strangeness of the enemy's naval division's warship, Cheng Kesheng replied:

"Well, there are ghosts!"

"This strange ship of the Tianzhu people runs faster than us!"

Recalling the astonishing scene performed by the enemy fleet in front of the two armies just now, he added:

"And it's much more flexible than we are."

Cheng Kexun had to admit that the difference between the warships of the enemy and our armies was like the difference between a war horse and a wild dog on land.

Both of them took binoculars and looked at the enemy's warship carefully, unwilling to let go at all, as if they could find the enemy's flaws from this moment of observation.

My heart is full of shock!

It turned out to be a ship without sails!

How is it that a boat without sails can run so fast? All the people looked stupidly at the terrifying ship in front of them that was constantly emitting black smoke, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Dinghai Fleet who didn't understand the steam engine, the Xu Qingyuan fleet at this moment was like a group of monsters.

It has to be said here that the overall scientific and technological strength of Ning Wang Fan is also quite different from Tianzhu. Maybe it was because the Ning Dynasty had never seen such a thing as a steam engine, or maybe there was such a thing, but it never got the attention of their high-ranking generals.

In fact, even in Tianzhu, if it were not for Li Zhe's special establishment of a steam engine research project in the Jiangzuo Institute, Tianzhu's steam engine technology would not have been able to develop so rapidly, and of course, it would be impossible for such a high-end application project as a steam warship to be born.

The development of science and technology in this era is like this, full of accidents.

Although most scientific discoveries are born regularly with the development of society, without strong guidance from the government, it is impossible for it to develop so fast, nor can it move in the right direction, so that the whole society can quickly benefit from it.

The difference between the Anwang Domain and the Ning Wangfan may only be a person like Li Zhe, but it is precisely the appearance of this person that has made earth-shaking changes in science and technology and industry between the two, thus affecting the current battle between the two armies.

It all seemed to come naturally, but it just happened so suddenly.

Now even King Ning probably wouldn't have imagined that the influence of Li Zhe, who he was bent on getting rid of, would appear in front of him in this way!

Cheng Kesheng is unwilling, very unwilling!

But what he saw with his own eyes at this moment could not deceive people.

Tianzhu Sailor, first artillery, then warships, the same new things came out, and each of them smashed Cheng Ke's heart.

He didn't understand why such a fast ship of Tianzhu Sailor could run so fast, and he didn't understand why it could run, and the experience and common sense of people for thousands of years were severely tested at this moment.

Of course, as the commander-in-chief, Cheng Kexun is still rational enough, he will not think that the enemy's warship is some kind of monster like the officers and soldiers under him, but will only think that it is another unknown technology thrown by some Tianzhu army.

And it was this unknown that made Cheng Kexiang quickly control the anger in his heart and began to consider the threat of the enemy.

Cheng Kexun issued an order to go down, and the entire fleet slowly stopped the speed of the ship and rearranged the formation.

As soon as this order was given, all the officers and soldiers of the Dinghai Fleet below also breathed a sigh of relief, and they were also worried about the strange ship of Xu Qingyuan's fleet that could run on the sea without sails and spew smoke like legendary monsters!

Tianzhu people, didn't they really get some monsters from the westerners!

The big guys don't think they're cowards, but no one wants to fight monsters!

In short, the Dinghai Fleet breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that the pressure had decreased a lot.

At this moment, just when everyone thought they had finally gotten rid of the battle, the observers found that the enemy had turned his head again.

The strange ships of the Tianzhu people rushed towards them again.

It was still the dozen or so strange ships, still with thick black smoke above their heads.

Xu Qingyuan's fleet lined up and swept past the formation of the Dinghai fleet, and the closest distance between the two armies was almost only a few tens of meters.

The entire fleet, hundreds of artillery pieces of all kinds and sizes, towards the formation of the Dinghai Fleet, boom, boom, boom, hundreds of shells of different sizes, fell into the Dinghai Fleet formation, in the blink of an eye, dozens of sky-high water columns swinged, the water column in the middle of the water column, there were ten fires lit!

Hit!

The Dinghai Fleet has suffered another heavy blow!

Damn it!

Cheng Kesheng looked at Xu Qingyuan's fleet that swept past his formation, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes!
