Chapter 95: The Battle of the Edward Islands (2)
Although it has an advantage in the wind, it is even more suppressed in terms of naval artillery bombardment, and if you ignore the air cavalry falling in the sky, this naval battle still looks good. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The final annihilation of the Air Force naturally had a certain impact on the morale of the Scarpa Navy, and the reason for the certain impact was completely Captain Rohm's treasure and the advantage of the artillery battle, but this captain quietly slipped to the safety of the lower deck with his own people at this time, because the battleships on both sides were about to collide together!
"Command! The whole ship is fired in a salvo!! Fire!!! ”
Due to the numerical superiority and the help of the wind, the Scarpa fleet, which had a long battle line, launched intensive artillery bombardment at close range, and of course the combined fleet also returned fire.
Annoying black smoke rose from the gun windows and decks, grapeshits, grenades, solid bullets, and all kinds of terrifying battlefield projectiles whizzed by, and the unlucky people who blocked the flight path naturally had no hope of survival, and countless water columns and debris flew around the battleship.
Of course, the hit rate of modern artillery shooting is very sad, even if it is the pinnacle of World War I in the Earth era against the Battle of Jutland, with the assistance of various advanced sights, the hit rate of both sides is only a pitiful one percent, and it is completely dependent on faith to fire.
Even so, both fleets were firing desperately, and even if they did not see the results of the battle hits, there was no intention of stopping.
Therefore, the two sides are not so much fighting and killing the enemy, but cleaning up the ammunition stocks on the battleship, and venting the panic in their hearts by the way.
However, the proximity of the distance still effectively improved the hit rate, and the pilot ship was continuously washed by flowering shells, chain bullets and solid shells as soon as it fired, and the flesh and blood flew and the deck was destroyed, although the gunners still had many survivors, but the loss of personnel was no longer able to support it.
But thanks to the cover of their teammates, the "Dragon King" and the other wingmen were able to remain largely intact, and even waved the flag: "All ships fire separately!" Fight to the death! ”
It's just that the idea is beautiful, and the reality is definitely unfriendly.
The Dragonlord's wingman had just sent its marines aboard the enemy ship when a large monster, the Ghost Dragon, roared out of the sky and began to raid the fleet!
"Ghost Dragon! Air defense ready! ”
"Hurry, hurry! Divine preparation, demon-breaking ammunition preparation! ”
"Musketeers in line! Resist! ”
"Boom!"
The ghost dragon with negative energy as the main body was not harmed, and most of the magic techniques did not hit this waste wood, although the magic breaking bullet hit the body was quite terrifying, but it still engulfed the entire battleship.
The high concentration of negative energy brought a terrifying visual effect, and the sharp-eyed soldiers opened their mouths in surprise to see the sail battleship turn into a pile of rotten wood, and the hull was full of ice, and the friendly soldiers who were trying to fight staggered in a new form after a heart-rending scream, only this time they were the enemy.
"I said a long time ago, even with the help of windmills, how can you deal with those undead without a navy and enough mages......"
"Lord Roma, what do we do now?"
"What else can I do? Wait for reinforcements or chaos......"
Without Rëm's command on the Dragon King, and the officers didn't care if the commander had slipped away, the situation in Scarpa's fleet was not good at all.
I thought that with the advantage of the wind, I could take away the opposite fleet in one wave, but I didn't expect that just after losing air supremacy, those damn undead actually pounced.
And the Scapa fleet didn't have the slightest temper, even if the officers brandished their whips and roared, "Hurry up and fire!" Reload enchanted ammo! Salvo! Aim and fire again! Are you all fools? ”
Of course, the panicked soldiers couldn't aim for a salvo, and most of the soldiers, except for the sailors, had not been trained for too long, and there might be hope for them to fight a tailwind, but now......
In this way, the naval battle of the Edward Islands has been fought so far, and the Scarpa fleet is actually at a disadvantage in the gang jumping battle, and the air force is annihilated by the other side, and the shelling is half a pound and eight taels, so: they have always been at a disadvantage?
And indeed it was, and no one knew how stupid the Scarpa fleet had to be to fight like this when they had so many advantages.
This may be due to the ships themselves, as well as the various conditions of the city-state's noble officers, but the enemy will not let the Scarpa fleet go for these reasons.
Seeing that the opponent was being beaten by the undead air force, and the opposite side of the gang jump battle couldn't raise its head, the United Fleet Navy, which was originally worried about dying, suddenly rose in confidence.
In order to prove that they were not afraid, they warmly greeted the same kind on the opposite side with heavy rain of artillery, and the Scapa fleet was directly shot out of flames, and a large number of warships were actually hit at the same time, which was simply possessed by the god of war, and the hit rate was too high!
In just half an hour, Rohm and his guards observed that the Light Dragon King had been hit by fourteen shells, and there were also special records: six first-class battleships, eighteen search cruisers were sunk or unable to fight, twenty-six battleships of various types were seriously damaged, and the battle line was disintegrating.
"Lord Roman, the Scapa fleet is running out, are we really not going to help them?"
"What are you doing for them?" Rom gave his cronies a strange look.
"This ......"
"Don't forget that we are pirates, only a dead navy is a good opponent, it is better that we can continue to live when both sides are dead, and when the time comes, we will flee if we grab a clipper!"
Even the commander is a ghost, and the Scarpa fleet is truly tragic...... In this half-hour battle, the combined fleet caused more than 4,000 casualties, and the exhausted sailors had no way to put out the fire while dealing with the enemy's marines and undead air raids, and there was no way to live this day!
The lucky ones can still float on the sea in an escape boat, and more can only hold on to the planks, barrels and other things around them, and more unlucky people have to survive in the sea of fire, even if they shout the name of the god or the sage to seek a chance to live, of course, these poor creatures have no hope of seeing the sun the next day.
In a burst of brilliant firelight, another first-class battleship turned into a salute, and the smile on the black-robed man's face never disappeared, "What a beautiful spark, what are you still stunned for!" Hurry up and load your ammo! Keep firing! ”
"My lord!! Urgent information, there is ......"
"What is there! Hurry up and destroy these damn Scarpa fleets! The gods will give us everything! "The black-robed man shouted to the sailor's confidence," ...... What did you just say? ”
"My lord, those skinned construction machines...... Again! ”
"What did you say!?"
Two hours before dark, the air strike units of Charlotte's fleet again appeared near the Edward Islands. (To be continued.) )
