As if to confirm Huangxi's words, close to 11 o'clock at noon, just in front of our map, a small map called Sea Urchin Reef appeared, which is a whole continuous island and reef landform, the reef has protruded about 20 meters above the water surface at this time, forming an island, which is full of corals and shellfish creatures, which looks colorful and green.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang, and suddenly a cannonball exploded about 20 meters to the left of a lightly armored warship sailing in front, setting off waves that rushed to the sky, and also stirred up wisps of ripples.

"Be careful!"

Standing at the bow of his battleship, he stretched out his hand to the east and said, "I saw the warships of the Fish-Man Clan, they are hiding behind the islands and reefs to ambush us!" ”

"Got it."

I nodded, and said in the team channel: "Brave men from the national uniform, we are about to enter the frontal artillery battlefield, everyone is in their positions, and we are ready to meet the first official hot weapon naval battle in our lives!" ”

Everyone laughed, their faces were full of excitement, and then they got into the cabin, and everyone took their places, and at the mast of the flagship, a Xia clan armor soldier blew the snail horn, and ordered the entire fleet to prepare for battle!

……

A few minutes later, one by one the Fish-Man warships left the cover of the island, and appeared about 3 miles in front of us, densely packed, about thirty of them, this should already be all the elite fleets of the Fish-People, all the battleships were hoisted with white pirate flags, and one by one the highly intelligent fish-men stood on the deck, "hissing" loudly, as if they were ordering in the language of the Fish-People, and then all the warships began to turn their rudders, facing us on the side.

"They're going to start shelling!"

I frowned, and ordered loudly: "The three keel battleships go forward, give me the front of the entire fleet to attract firepower, all the battleships have the rudder, attack them with artillery fire on the left, all listen, aim for me and then fire, we don't have many shells, don't waste too much!" ”

"Good!"

The sound of the horn stirred again, and a whole fleet began to turn the rudder, and then the cannon fire rang out in unison, and in the first round of shelling, the fire of "Peng Peng" bloomed between the distant Fish-Man ships, and three of the shells seemed to hit the side of the opposing battleship, causing some damage, but it was far from sinking.

And the artillery fire of the other side is constantly falling from the sky in a messy manner.

"Peng—"

With a loud bang, a cannonball hit the flagship directly, and it exploded on the outboard of the ship three meters in front of me, and a hot flame surged, fortunately, I, Huangxi, and Xiao Wei had already opened the shield wall, so the players on the flagship barely suffered too much damage, but a groove was punched out on the side of the outer ship, and the iron sheet burned red, after all, the A-class keel battleship has absolutely no problem withstanding a shelling, but if there are too many...... That's hard to say.

“MD……”

I frowned, and directly asked a group of gunners in the cabin, "What kind of feathers are you guys doing?" One of the four guns missed, and the most accurate one was 100 meters away from someone's battleship, so if it didn't work, it would be replaced! ”

"Ahahahaha~~~"

Wang Jinhai scratched his head: "Boss give me another chance, our first round of shelling just now was just a tentative attack......

As he spoke, he shook the calibrated roulette wheel with all his might, and shouted loudly: "Okay, fill the shells, the second round of shelling will start immediately, this time give me a farther shot, visually measure the distance, and use straddle firing tactics to fight?" ”

"Got it!"

The rest of the gunners nodded in unison.

"Ignite, launch!"

The next moment, there were four loud bangs in a row, and the four guns on the left side of the flagship opened fire in unison, plus the shelling of other warships, and suddenly I saw a "swish" shuttle in the air with a flaming red cannonball, some of which we hit and some of the other side hit, and the two sides killed in an instant.

"Shield Wall!"

I let out a low shout and stirred out the Longgang shield wall again, but this time the flagship was not hit, but there was a loud bang on the critical keel battleship, and the middle deck was shot, and an archer who didn't have time to dodge was directly seconded, and several heavy armor players around were also blown into half blood, very embarrassed, in addition, several light armor warships were also shot, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled.

However, the effect of our shelling in this round was slightly better than the previous one, especially the cannon operated by Wang Jinhai, which directly hit the flagship side of the opponent's fish-man fleet, and exploded into flames and smoke.

"Yes, go ahead!"

I took a deep breath and ordered everyone to shell next time, and the next shelling could no longer maintain a salvo, but a battle between you and me, and the victory or defeat of a naval battle depended on luck and hit.

Both sides shelled for nearly ten minutes, causing damage to each other, but never sank a single battleship, at most only wounded.

"That's not right......"

In the cabin, Wang Jinhai scratched his head and said: "I have seen and practiced the simulation of the artillery system that comes with "Tianxing", and the tactics of straddle shooting can increase the hit rate exponentially as long as you find a suitable angle, but ...... How do you feel that the hit rate is different from the time I simulated it, it's not a level at all! ”

Lin Che said with a smile: "After all, the simulation is different from the actual combat, and you also have to consider the wind speed, ship speed, and so on." ”

"There is no speed."

Wang Jinhai shook his head: "Both of us are almost determined to shell, and no one on either side has sailed for the sake of accuracy!" The artillery refined by the Xia clan in our national uniform is firmly above the savage fish-man clan in terms of accuracy and attack power, but our hit rate is even inferior to theirs, which must be boring. ”

"The sea, are you sure there's a problem?" I asked.

"Hmm!"

He nodded heavily: "Boss, there is definitely a problem, trust my judgment." ”

"That might be a problem."

I looked down and looked at the water surface under the side of the ship, the ripple rhythm, so I turned on the tools that came with the system, looked at the flow of the surrounding sea area, and suddenly found that on the map depicted according to the flow intensity, our fleet is in a golden atlas zone at this time, which means that our fleet is in a highly active current zone, in fact, although our fleet seems to be stopped, but in fact it has been moving, and even quietly changing the angle of shelling, the direction of the hull is constantly changing, and the accuracy of shelling is naturally far inferior to the other party.

Looking at the position of the Fish-Man fleet again, just now, under the cover of a reef, the sea water in their position was almost stationary!

Both fleets use old, old-fashioned heavy artillery, which is nowhere near the same level of accuracy as the rapid-fire guns of modern naval warfare, so this factor is quite important.

In the next moment, I let out a deep groan and said, "All the battleships obey the order, stop the shelling, turn the bow of the ship and approach the opponent's fleet, enter their two-mile area and attack again!" ”

"Huh!?"

The smoke and light shouted from afar: "Ah Xi, you are crazy, we can't shell them in the first place, get closer, won't you become a live target!" ”

I laughed: "Don't worry, there is a strong ocean current under our current fleet, and the accuracy is too seriously affected, as long as you sail one mile forward, you can enter the still water area, and you will understand when the time comes!" ”

"OK, do it!"

Suddenly, more than 20 Xia clan warships turned around and rushed towards the other party, and after sailing for a mile in the face of artillery fire and wind and waves, they turned their rudders one after another, and pointed their guns at the fish-man army again!

"Shelling!"

I ordered loudly, and in the next second, dozens of battleships spit out tongues of fire together, and one by one the red-hot shells rushed into the distance, and in the next second, the sound of "puffy puff" was endless, and the flagships of the fish-man fleet and the first few battleships were constantly rising from the flames of artillery hits, and even a light boat was hit by the heavy artillery of our flagship.

"Good, beautiful!"

I couldn't help laughing in the afterglow of the smoke: "I've sunk one, come on, brothers, let's have another one!" ”

In the distance, the Fish-Man commanders on the deck of the Fish-Man Fleet seemed to be panicked, hissing and screaming, and their artillery fire returned more fiercely, but there was a certain gap in the quality of the opponent's warships, especially the flagship, our three keel battleships were in the forefront, and the ironclad shell blocked most of the artillery attack damage, while the other party was barely gasping under the shelling of our large-caliber heavy artillery.

Moreover, entering the still water area, Wang Jinhai and other players are indeed worthy of boasting about their trained artillery accuracy, especially Wang Jinhai, after ranging measurement, he can almost maintain a close-range artillery hit rate of more than 35%, and has been beating the flagship of the Fish-Man Clan, overturning the opponent's two giant cannons in a row.

"Their flagships have lost their combat effectiveness."

I waved my palm and said, "The sea, aim at the two frigates next to me to attack, keep the hull of the flagship for me, and after the fight, let's tow the ship back to the country!" ”

"Hahaha, understood! Don't you want those boats? ”

"Take everything that can be used, don't use everything that can't be used, sink them all!"

“OK！”

For a while, the sound of artillery bombardment continued, and the fleet of the fish-people showed a one-sided disadvantage, and after the flagship was damaged by us and lost its combat effectiveness, one after another light warships were broken through the side of the ship, and the sea water poured in, and sank rapidly, while the fish-man warriors who fell into the water roared and rushed over, rowing waves on the sea.

"Use the main cannon and blast them out!"

As soon as I gave the order, the three keel battleships opened fire one after another, and the water splashed one after another, blasting the rushing fishmen to pieces.

On the side of the ship, a group of players raised their blades one after another, shooting arrows and casting spells at the fish-man warriors who rushed over from afar, and entered the white-knuckle battle again for a while.

……

However, at this moment, I know that the result of this battle has been laid, and we have won a big victory in the first battle!
