Chapter 1607: You're Besieged
Without looking at it, Lu Xi could feel the embarrassment of the enemy fleet in the distance. The hot smoke and blazing air waves were accompanied by the screams of countless people. In the spiritual sense that has spread to a radius of hundreds of miles, all this is hidden.
"Well, that's good, it's a perfect hello!" Lu Xi smiled, hesitated, and said, "Well, was that one shot?" β
So you don't know? I thought why I could see it with the "eyes of the heart" of Rausch. The former dragon knight squad leader, who is also disabled, sneered, and replied seriously with a smile: "It's the flagship of the enemy's avant-garde fleet, the Barbarossa!" β
"Oh, the red one!" Lu Xi nodded in satisfaction.
There was another faint shudder on the deck of the Aurora beneath his feet, and it was the third roar of the day from the main gun of the central axis device. Even if the hull is made of a lot of expensive materials and has been treated with various extraordinary levels of impact resistance and shock absorption, it still can't eliminate the recoil of this thing, so its power can be imagined.
After all, back then, the Gustav cannon of the same caliber and the craftsmanship was not very mature, but it blasted open the Thunder Cliff Fortress that had stood for thousands of years.
This time, the shell did not hit the red Barbarossa, and a high-speed battleship on her side became a scapegoat, and it was far more unlucky than the former. The armor-piercing shells tore through the battleship's faint iron-clad wooden armor, and in front of it, the surface of the magic shield was even more fragile than that one. Then, the shell penetrated several layers deep into the hull, and only then exploded. The sound was like throwing a firecracker on a closed wooden barrel, and then expanding it ten thousand times. The first was the dull and oppressive sound of explosions, accompanied by the expansion of the air that squeezed the hull into a little deformation, and the blazing fire squeezed out of the cracks with the rushing air current, as if it had found an anthill in a dam, and tilted out. Immediately afterward, half of the ship's hull shattered under the impact, and the broken fragments and severed arms were blown apart by the heat wave, crackling and smashing on the surrounding friendly ships.
This time, the fleet, which was originally lined up in a non-regular goose-shaped formation, began to be chaotic.
Before we could bring the enemy into range, they fired three shots, and they hit the shots. Zhongchuang flagship, heavy damage to a battleship.
How can this kind of battle be fought? Are we braving enemy fire to move on? Or do you want to retreat and escape from the enemy's range first?
The captains of the ships, who had lost the command of their flagships, began to turn their minds differently. After all, they are not battle-hardened generals, and sadly, the more qualified captains of the Gatelord faction have all died in the Berenkarst prison. With the current gang of goods, if it weren't for some experienced ...... Well, the free man of the sea is in charge of the ship's important duties, and I am afraid that he will not even be able to list the minimum fleet.
All in all, it's too hard for these captains to respond appropriately in the current situation. And this does convey the truth that money can buy good ships, but not good navies.
Of course, seriously, they can't be entirely blamed for this. You must know that it was not them who were shocked by the results of these shellings, even Lu Xi himself.
"This kind of mosquito cannon setting has actually proved to be useless in my hometown, but here, it actually shows such power...... Is it because my hometown is stupid, or is the world stupid? From now on, the tech tree of this world won't be abducted by me to a strange place, right? β
Although Lu Xi was indeed lying down in his heart with the power of the modified little wife, the expression on his face did not even fluctuate at all. As a big man, the more surprised he is, the more calm he must be, if he is surprised, the little friends working under him will definitely be very troubled.
However, perhaps he was too calm, and Krell was probably worried that he would not see, so he carefully explained: "One of the enemy battleships completely lost its combat effectiveness, and the fleet fell into disarray. Do you want to hold off? If we ensure the distance from the enemy, we can continue to weaken the enemy's combat power by shelling. β
"So, it's the so-called kite flying tactic." Lu Xi smiled: "Oh, Brother Krel, do pure masters like me really have a very sissy face?" β
β¦β¦ When did you not even have this point? Before Belmont could say this, Lu Xi had already walked quickly to the bridge and took the steering wheel in his hand, seeing that the former dragon knight squad leader who was making a cameo appearance as the helmsman was shocked.
"Well, let me ask, aren't you going to operate the ship yourself like this?"
"I can't see it, but I know you must be rude in your eyes right now. But what's there to worry about? As far as I know, there have been many times in history when a blind dragon rider rides a dragon bravely. β
"But, after all, it's a dragon ......"
"This is my little wife!" Lu Xi patted the steering wheel, in a natural tone. The voice was not loud, but the resoluteness in it made Krell lose all discerning thoughts in an instant.
Considering that the other party must still be worried, Lu Xi added: "So, you have to understand, Brother Krell, at my level, I don't need eyes to deal with these miscellaneous soldiers...... Or rather, it's better not to have eyes. In comparison, Mr. Chief Officer, Chief of Organs, and Chief of Armaments, please make sure one last time about the state of all armaments, and I want them to be able to fire normally, and fire more frantically! β
When did I have so many part-time jobs? Belmont thought so, but Lu Xi's words made him subconsciously stand upright, and knocked his breastplate with his prosthetic arm.
The dwarven engineers and elven "sailors" must have realized what was coming, and before Krell could give the order, they all hurried to get busy. Interestingly, they had obviously guessed what Lu Xi was going to do, but one by one, they were full of fighting spirit as if they had been drugged, and their eyes were red and their nostrils were suffocating.
"Qiyao Aurora, advance 4 ah no, switch to the first combat speed!"
The specially built guide engine starts running at high speed. The furious energy of the Seven Yao Crystals, under the control of the exquisite mechanical structure, began to output power steadily and rapidly. The graceful and slender hull shone brightly, and then quickly formed a brilliant and gorgeous trail of light in the blue sky, a light completely different from all the existing magician effects.
The Aurora began to pick up speed and pounced on the enemy fleet that was already in disarray. A ship the size of a cruise ship swooped down on the opposing fleet, and even the smallest enemy ship was three or four times its size. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is like a rabbit rushing towards a pack of wolves, but everyone on the Aurora feels that they are clearly waving their iron wings, hitting the sky and the eagle on the ground.
Yes, aren't the enemy ships, which are flustered in flames and explosions, just a flock of weak chickens? It's just that it looks fatter.
It's only three or five seconds, Lu Xi doesn't need to rely on spiritual sense, just by feeling his body, he can already feel the raging fire on the opponent's battleship. However, in a short moment, the cannon completed another bombardment, and once again hit the previous scapegoat.
This time, the high-speed battleship, which had just been hit by a single shot, was completely hopeless. The second explosion even provoked a violent reaction from the Tisru nuke, with a shocking tearing effect on the ship's rift, breaking the entire hull in two on the spot. The hull of the ship, which lost control of its front half of the broken hull, completed an inverted tilt of more than 60 degrees in the air, and smashed into a battleship below it with a "boom", chiseling its hull on the spot.
Four shots and four hits, which can be called a mythical hit rate, even with the ability and race bonus of the mortal elf knight, this is really too exaggerated. If this news were to get out, it would certainly bring about quite interesting changes in the development of the navies of the nations. Lu Xi said that he liked to hear it.
"Since then, the royal road to the development of the world's navy has placed the thin-skinned stuffing of giant cannons along the central axis? Woo, when I think about it like this, it's so subtle that I feel a little emotional. One day in the future, when the world is full of three scenic ships, if I suddenly take out a large number of fearless, will that feeling be very pleasant? β
With such a thought swirling in his mind, the cyan Aurora threw itself into the smoke and flames. It was only at this time that the Noble Coalition seemed to realize that the only enemy ship that had brought them to the brink of collapse with just four shellings had finally entered their range of attack. But by this time, I am afraid that there are less than two people who can muster up the courage to fight back.
With his only hand, Lu Xi deftly flicked the steering wheel and shuttled lightly through the enemy ship - at this time, the other party could not even call it a team. His spiritual sense had already enveloped the entire battlefield, the position of the enemy ships, the sparse attacks, and even the reactions of the ordinary soldiers and thunderous officers on the deck. In his opinion, it's like playing an old-fashioned bullet hell game, and it's the lowest difficulty.
"Feel free to fire! Anyway, there are enemies on all sides! Lu Xi laughed.
It took the Aurora a minute to sweep past all the enemy ships, and it really looked like a goshawk skimming among a flock of chickens. During this period, all the guide guns, magic crystal cannons, and machine guns on the ship maintained the highest density of attacks, and the heat energy generated by the weapon itself after firing seemed to have coated the entire hull with a layer of red light formed by the condensation of flames and blood. All the members of the ship felt as if they were in an oven, but fortunately, their physique had reached the transcendent realm, and the high temperature that could kill ordinary people was just a small discomfort for these powerful people.
Of course, more importantly, if it weren't for the special treatment of the hull and the bonus of the Moonlight Ark, otherwise the Aurora itself would have been destroyed in such a crazy operation.
It turns out that Lu Xi, who is blind and has only one hand left, is really not at a high level of playing barrage games. During this period, his little wife still took a few hits, but the attacks of the flame crossbow and thunderbolt bolt could not even put too much pressure on the outer layer of moonlight coating. As for the more powerful Crystal Cannon...... Well, Lu Xi had to say that something that is so slow in archery is not used for air combat. Fira's unbearable Federation fleet had been ridden in the face by the Dragons of Perkens in Farahals, but after all these years, it still hadn't improved at all.
At this time, he forgot that he was the supreme naval commander of the Federation in legal terms, and he had to carry the pot of the unbearable navy of Fira himself.
The Seven Yao Aurora swept through the avant-garde fleet of the Noble Coalition like a hurricane, as if it had ploughed out a bloody path densely covered with hull fragments. This time, almost all of the Gatelord faction warships came under more or less fierce attack. The attack on the ships themselves is quite to be said.
After all, the main guns placed on the central axis can only be fired forward, and in addition, three or five small-caliber guide guns and magic crystal cannons can do limited damage to a behemoth like a battleship after all. But the machine guns that rained countless bullets at the battleships in a very short period of time were so frustrating that they left countless holes in the hull like a dense swarm of bees. This kind of damage may not destroy the battleship, but it is enough to create countless stumps and broken arms on the deck and even inside the hull.
Looking at the dense fragments of flesh and blood around them and the endless stream of screams and wails, the survivors looked around in a daze, and for a moment they began to doubt the world.
Who am I? Where am I? Didn't you say that you would fight a naval battle? What the hell is such a tragic situation? Even if it was stepped on by the Iron Knights of Auckland on flat ground, it wouldn't be this scene, right?
"Woooooooooo It's not what the contract says! A mercenary clutched his severed left arm and cried out in a voice that bordered on screaming: "If you don't give us a hundred meters, will you let us die?" β
The Aurora began to turn behind the enemy ships. During this period, Lu Xi even had the spare time to observe the position of the enemy's follow-up fleet with his spiritual senseβit would take at least ten minutes to rush over to support, enough for him to come back for a few more rounds.
He spun the wheel of the wheel, and under the horrified eyes of the enemy, he maneuvered the Aurora to pounce again. And at this moment, the battleships of the aristocratic faction that had been blinded had not yet had time to complete the simple operation of scattering and escaping.
At the same moment, the amplification magic sent out his own voice: "All the rebel members, you have been surrounded!" All enemy ships, immediately turn off the guide engine, close the gun door, and adjust the Tisru nucleus to the suspension state with the lowest output! Otherwise, I will be considered a hostile act and will continue to attack! Repeat, rebel cubs, you have broken bones, don't be ashamed! β
