Chapter 57: Accidents Always Come as Scheduled
"Hey, Lorraine, there's really no other way?"
"Maybe we can try a self-destruct attack, but ...... They didn't look like they wanted to land. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Looking at the appearance of the floating battleship, Lorraine was very helpless in his heart.
Of course, on the bright side, the commander of the Eastern Army was still calm, and ordered his subordinates to continue to separate, "Don't give up, continue to advance in the direction of Edo!" ”
"But sir, what if the enemy shells us?"
“…… Then pray for it, and think that it is better to run quickly! ”
"Huh?"
Li Qiwei's problem now is very troublesome, Xiyi's counterattack has been crushed, and the victory of this battle is undoubted, but what about those transport ships?
"Master Strategist, wouldn't it be better for us to capture those big ships sooner?"
"I also know that there are many benefits to capturing them, but the Xiangyun doesn't have that much fuel, and it can't sail on the sea!"
"Didn't that foreign merchant say that this battleship is absolutely omnipotent?"
Looking at his subordinates who didn't know why, Li Qiwei could only patiently command the sailors while explaining.
It turns out that the Xiangyun itself is an oriental version of the floating warship that was forcibly built by relying on Western technology as a template, and the main materials are magical wood, and the defense and load-bearing capacity are far inferior to the same type of warships in the West.
The sealing performance is also not very good, and it must not be put in the water - the big boats with gaps everywhere will definitely feed the fish.
What's even more troublesome is that the energy of the Xiangyun does not use Sakura, and the spiritual power burning furnace directly selected is far inferior in power and speed to the magic guide furnace, and only the staying power is slightly better.
In this way, there is no need for this Xiangyun to attack, the speed is slow, the load is low, and even if it is loaded with a bunch of artillery, there is not much ammunition, so it can only be said that the Riberians are too unlucky.
It's a pity that none of them know that in the face of this seemingly invincible floating battleship, everyone chooses to follow Lorraine's order and flee quickly.
"Master Commander, those Xiyi haven't stopped yet! They're still on the run! ”
"It seems that they don't cry when they don't see the coffin...... Order the gunners to start attacking, scare them first! ”
"Hey!"
The roar of artillery rang out from the sky again, and this time the Xiangyun was targeting the transport, just as the Riberia fleet had just experienced, and the screams were so loud that even Lorraine was frightened.
It's just that not long after this attack began, Lorraine and the others gradually discovered that there were fewer and fewer water columns around the ship?
"Strange, why don't those Dongying monkeys continue to beat us?"
"Lorraine, you bastard! Are you still looking forward to being shelled!? ”
"That's not what I meant, Alexander! Do you think they have an advantage, how can the shelling become so weak? ”
"So what? Do you still want to play aerial assault like the Riberians? Let me tell you that there are not many battle mages in the Eastern Army, and you don't even want to bring any of the girls from the military art troupe! ”
Looking at the angry Alexander, as well as a cadre of officers who share the same hatred and hatred, it seems that the military art troupe is really an indispensable morale booster in the Eastern Army.
Since there is no way to play Air Assault, you can only try to activate the multi-headed dragon staff and see if you can scare the enemy's floating battleship with a glowing cannon.
Seeing Lorraine take out his staff, Alexander and the surrounding circle of people immediately retreated, but said other strange things in their mouths, "If you want to attack, take off quickly, lest this place be shelled!" ”
"That's right, sir, you'd better go to heaven!"
"For the future of the Legion, we will honor your memory, Admiral!"
"You bastards!" Lorraine yelled angrily, how come these unconscionable subordinates don't have a loyal follower!
I really miss Vivian and Olivia, I don't know how they are doing in China......
Although there was no delay in the mana or something towards such and such things, it was only the multi-headed dragon staff that had only been activated once, and after such a long period of cooling, it still didn't seem to have much firepower.
In short, it's like an old dog that has just been in heat, and it looks weak and can't be condensed at all, which is really unlucky.
"Forget it, anyway, it's just a try, it's best to let them cast a rat bogey!"
Lorraine muttered these words, and then lit the staff in his hand, and a light cannon quickly condensed, but the dull yellow was too ugly.
None of the soldiers were optimistic about the bombardment of His Excellency the Admiral, and everyone was urging the sailors to flee with full sails quickly, and even the Dongying people on the Xiangyun looked at it curiously.
"That Xiyi mage seems to be accumulating strength?"
"Want to shell the Xiangyun from such a distance? Did he think he was extraordinary? ”
"The Xiangyun is invincible in the world, how can it be defeated by them!"
However, this luminous cannon was absolutely unexpected by everyone, so much so that it was recorded by later generations as an "angel bombardment" to save the Western colonizers!
Although it is yellow......
The light cannon was excited and shot out from the multi-headed dragon staff, aiming directly at the Xiangyun, and the oriental defense spell that was thought to be reliable was split into countless pieces and turned into nothing the moment it touched the light cannon.
Followed by the spirit wood shell, the wood rich in magic power is indeed strong enough, but the sturdiness is inherently weaker than steel, and after only a few seconds of resistance, cracks appear, spreading to most of the magic power inside the cabin, and beginning to destroy greatly!
Those seemingly powerful spiritual power burning furnaces actually began to stop because of the spread of magic power, but the nearby maintenance personnel couldn't get over at all because of the shock and high temperature magic.
Not a minute later, a "boom" was heard, the power compartment began to explode, followed by the ignition of gunpowder from the shelling deck and ammunition depot.
The violent shock made the Dongying people on the main deck unstable, and Li Qiwei finally stabilized his body, only to find that the hull began to tilt, and it was still falling!
"Damn it! What the hell is going on? ”
And no one answered the question of the strategist, for quite a few unlucky ones rolled off the deck with a wail, and one fell from the sky without holding his grip.
Falling from this height is simply jumping from the top floor to the concrete floor, and the moment you touch the writing, you will definitely be in pain, and of course it is more likely to fall directly into meat sauce.
"Master Strategist! We must get out of here! There was an explosion on the lower deck, a fire broke out in the power compartment, and there was no way to control the fire! ”
"Are you kidding me?! Is this the result of that weak light cannon just now? ”
"I'm afraid so, Lord Ridgway! There must be something wrong with what the arms dealer sold us...... Now is not the time to talk about this, we need to abandon ship quickly! ”
"Ahhhh Damn shitty goods! I'm going to kill that bastard! ”
