"Artillery Preparation~~~"

In the orders issued by the first-class battleships, one by one the side-chord gun windows opened, and rows of black hole gun muzzles stretched out from the dense three-layer gun windows, pointing at the Ming Imperial Navy fleet full of sails from afar!

As the overlord of the sea in this fantasy world, the Ming Empire's self-dominated style of acting has been fixed, and in the Ming Emperor's successive campaigns, the navies of the other two coastal countries, Qi and Chu, have basically become inland fleets......

Qi and Chu did not attach importance to the construction of sea ships, and after being suppressed by the rising Ming Empire, they could only protect their coastal towns, and with the gradual establishment of the hegemony of the Ming Empire on land, the Chu State had already become a de facto vassal of the Ming Empire, and the Qi State could only barely resist the offensive of the thriving Ming Empire.

If it weren't for Lin Haoda's sudden intervention, it would have almost become a matter of time before this fantasy world was dominated by the Ming Empire, and naturally, as the main fleet of the Ming Empire, in the face of the unknown hostile fleet, it would directly start a war with a very strong attitude!

At least on the surface, Lin Haoda has only three warships, and the Ming Imperial Navy has nearly a hundred large and small ships, although the largest building ship is not as large as the first-class battleship, but the Ming Navy has a way to take back those three big ones!

In this fantasy world in the age of cold weapons, the key to the victory or defeat of ocean battles is still in the battle with the side.

So, the tragedy of the Ming Empire's navy that rushed over with full sails was over!

The navy of the Ming Empire, which was in the era of cold weapons, could not imagine how powerful gunpowder was!

"Cannon !!"

The flanks of the three first-class battleships were added together, and nearly two hundred large-caliber naval warfare guns comparable to land fortress guns spit out hot projectiles one after another, flying towards the ships of the Ming Empire that rushed up densely!

"Oh my God, what's that?! On the building ship headed by a lot of iron bullet ......", Zhou Li, the commander of the Ming Empire's naval fleet, Zhou Li, a one-eyed dragon general who was originally born as a pirate and wore a black blindfold, held a telescope in a daze and looked at the iron pills shot at his own fleet, feeling as if the sky had fallen.

Zhou Li, who has been lying on the sea for most of his life, naturally understands the power of so many solid iron bullets hitting his own ship!

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, with just one salvo, the Ming Imperial Navy sank three small warships and severely damaged 5 battleships!

Other warships, even if they were huge and sturdy ships, were more or less damaged, and the iron bullets fired from them hit any position on the hull, smashing out a large pile of wood chips and debris, and the lethality of these wood chips and debris was even more terrifying than that of iron bullets, because the area they scattered was too large, and the fragile human body was penetrated and nailed to death by the inconspicuous wood chips that usually appeared!

There may be survivors in the crowd hit by debris and wood chips, but the human body directly hit by the iron bullet is basically only a corpse fragment on the ground, and the death is not miserable.

A salvo may not be lethal to the Ming Imperial fleet, but the morale blow to the crew of the Ming Imperial fleet is fatal!

If it weren't for the fact that the sailors of the Ming Empire were well paid and their families were treated very well, they would have suddenly collapsed in morale and fled in the face of the first-class battleship that was spitting iron bullets......

"Spread out! Disperse! Speed up and close the distance as quickly as possible to board the enemy ships, they only have three ships, as long as we get there, we can still win! Zhou Li ordered hoarsely, and at the same time cheered for his subordinates, the size of the ship he was in was the largest, and the number of crew and sailors was naturally the largest, most of them were Zhou Li's old buddies who followed him when he was a pirate, and his naval combat skills were quite exquisite, and most importantly, he had two eighth-level martial arts masters on his ship!

Placing an eighth-level master on a naval ship that does not have much war on weekdays is the only way to attach importance to naval construction and the wealthy Ming Empire is willing to do so.

The quality of the Ming Empire's navy was much higher than Lin Haoda expected, not at all like the backward naval warships of the cold weapon era in the ancient period of the earth, under the command of the banner, the Ming Empire navy warships that were originally charging intensively quickly dispersed and surrounded, and even many small and medium-sized ships drove to the rear of the transport fleet.

In the face of artillery volleys, the navy of the Ming Empire did not retreat at all, and continued to charge as if it were dead, which shows that the quality and discipline of the army of the Ming Empire far exceeded that of the army of the cold weapon era.

"Put!"

It is not easy for the sea ships that rely on sails and oars as the power to turn around, and when the Ming naval fleet has not really dispersed, the second round of artillery salvo came as scheduled, and the Ming Imperial naval fleet was sinking again!

Zhou Li watched with tears in his eyes as his ships sank more than ten of them before they could attack, and he paced back and forth on the deck anxiously to vent his inner fear.

After two rounds of salvos, the naval fleet of the Ming Empire finally successfully dispersed, Zhou Li thought that the other party's three giant ships would use the unknown weapons that sprayed iron bullets to fight and retreat, and at most he could use the transport ships behind the opponent to vent, but he didn't think that the three huge warships were heading towards his own 5 ships, as if they didn't care about hand-to-hand combat!

Zhou Li couldn't help but fall into a trace of hesitation when he saw the course of the unknown enemy, the other side dared to do this obviously because he was completely sure of winning the battle on the sideboard, but when he floated behind him to worship the two eighth-level martial arts, his heart regained his confidence, the eighth-level martial artist is enough to serve as the commander of a battalion in the army, the sea ship is not land, and ordinary soldiers can be lined up in a dense phalanx. Squeeze to death' martial arts masters, the sailors on the sea ship are chaotic battles, this kind of battle scene is simply naturally prepared for martial arts masters, as long as you survive the opponent's powerful long-range weapons, board the enemy ship, you can brush the shame!

Boom Boom Boom ......

The three first-class battleships marched forward against the wind, completely dispersed into an individual, and inserted into the scattered Ming Empire naval fleet, the left and right double strings were open for free shooting, and as long as the huge solid iron bullet hit, it could easily smash through the enemy warship, which was completely a one-sided slaughter!

The era when sail battleships and artillery were king was fully embodied.

Just as Lin Haoda was watching the Ming Imperial Navy fleet being smashed into the ocean one after another, the Ming Imperial Navy finally approached a certain distance from the first-class battleship with the corpse.

Immediately, a weapon that Lin Haoda had never seen before fell from the sky, and the crooked technology tree of the Ming Empire has since opened a corner in front of Lin Haoda's eyes!
