Chapter 336. The Final Battle at Sea (Part II!!
Wave after wave of thunderous artillery fire, seemingly never-ending.
And under such an intensive offensive, these fleets under Ronald simply did not have any ability to resist.
Even though under his iron-blooded methods, one battleship after another reluctantly approached, few of them could really get over.
However, there was an interval in the firing of artillery, and although the power of the salvo of hundreds of solid iron balls was extremely amazing, it was impossible to inflict any fatal blow on the seventy or eighty warships that were rushing in at this time.
Of course, the only ones who could successfully pass through the dense artillery blockade and approach Chopin's side were actually more than a dozen warships.
For the sailors on these warships, the situation of being crushed by artillery fire before undoubtedly made them feel extremely frightened, helpless and angry, after all, they had never suffered such a big loss before, but it didn't matter, next, they were bound to get these back.
"Up! Above! Tear this bunch of damn guys apart for me! ”
A famous sailor clenched the sharp scimitar in his hand, his eyes had already turned blood-red, and his face was even more hideous, and one by one he let out a terrifying roar like a wolf, and rushed towards the enemy warship that was only a stone's throw away at this time.
Just put the wooden planks on the shelves, and they will be able to mercilessly slaughter these damned creatures, and let these lowly and cowardly ugly creatures taste what real horror is!
However, at this moment, these sailors were a little stunned to find that on the opposite battleship, dozens of half-squatting soldiers seemed to have some long iron pipes on their shoulders, and the direction of the iron pipes seemed to be exactly where they were.
However, before these sailors could think about it, in the extremely black barrel, a surging light suddenly emerged.
"Shoot!"
With a calm and deep sound, these imperial soldiers, who had been preparing for a long time, pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The flint sparks ignited the powder chamber in an instant, and in that small and cramped space, the restlessness that was about to erupt became more and more violent.
And the originally black muzzle also bloomed with incomparably blazing light in an instant, which is the brilliance of science and technology, and it is also the highest hymn of life!
"Bang bang"
Dense and violent gunshots kept rang out, and a series of popping beans sounded like a rapid and high-pitched song, and in the shortest possible time, it reached the exciting **.
The huge impact of gunpowder was vividly displayed at this moment, and how could the sailors on the opposite side, who were just flesh and blood, resist this incomparably violent roar.
The cold roar was like the roar of the devil, the blazing buckshot tore through the prelude to the dawn, and with the spread of gunsmoke, the wild metal storm mercilessly engulfed all the figures of the sailors who rushed out first.
Then, scarlet blood mixed with cracked wood chips, broken armor, and minced flesh began to dance wildly, and the violent and bloody aura spread like sweet poison.
But that's just the beginning!
"Stupid guy!"
Looking at the figure of the sailor who clenched the scimitar and then fell in shock, Borg also shook his head sarcastically and said, since he became the captain of the brig, he has received more systematic training at the Naval Academy, and his vision has also been greatly improved.
Do these guys really think there's any point in rushing in? The French Empire is not as simple as they imagined......
"Replace the shells and adopt shotguns."
Shaking his head, Borg gave the order for death to come.
As the sparks burrowed into the dark hole, the bronze barrel also continued to shake, and then the overture to the arrival of death was also played.
Boom Boom!
Accompanied by the uniform roar of artillery, a large amount of gunpowder smoke also spread out like a fog.
The furious sound was like thunder, and the blazing light was like a door of light descended from God, as if to cleanse away all sin and darkness.
Then, the cannonballs that the sailors on the other side could not imagine or comprehend streaked through the sky like meteors, momentary and eternal, and then burst out like fireworks, bright and dazzling.
It's just that what is hidden under this beauty is an incomparably turbulent killing machine.
Driven by the expanding force of the gunpowder explosion, the blazing heat and terrifying power spread out, enveloping the past like an invisible net.
This is the terrifying rain of steel, and it is the astonishing momentum of the catharsis of the metal storm.
As the shotgun fell, the terrifying power began to be released in this narrow space, and the seemingly light steel marbles, driven by the power of gunpowder, flew rapidly, and at this time, they were the most deadly, terrifying Grim Reaper.
The surging shrapnel is undoubtedly quite impressive.
After all, it is impossible for the fragile body of human beings to resist these steel marbles that spin and fly at high speed.
At such close range, these sailors couldn't even react, let alone dodge.
Then, as the white light slowly dissipated, the terrible screams continued to sound, and a famous sailor desperately tried to struggle in this desperate situation, but there was nowhere for them to escape.
Compared with the huge momentum brought out by the launch and landing of the solid iron ball, the roar brought out by the shotgun when it is released is undoubtedly much weaker, but against the large number of sailors in front of him, the lethality caused by the shotgun is much stronger than that of the ordinary solid shell.
The sail warships that finally rushed over were covered with stumps and broken bones everywhere at this time, and red blood flowed frantically from the bodies of the screaming sailors.
The seemingly sturdy chain mail faced the steel balls that were no more than the size of a fingernail, but they could not play the slightest role in blocking them, and the steel balls continued to bring out small and dense holes one after another on the chain mail, and a large amount of blood could not stop seeping out of them.
Even the most elite troops are unwilling to face the catharsis of shotguns, which is the nightmare of all classes.
A large number of sailors did not react to what was going on, only to feel a burst of brilliant light like fireworks suddenly disperse, and then it was dark in front of them.
These sailors, who were still holding scimitars, spears and other weapons before, only vaguely felt as if something had entered their bodies, and then their bodies were carried out by the dense steel balls with countless holes.
After that, the sharp pain brought out by the iron balls through the body came from wave after wave of continuous impact.
The dancing metal storm mercilessly cleansed all the sailors on the battleship, and when the fog-like smoke gradually cleared, there was hardly a living person standing on the deck, and the one who could barely survive was a bloody man lying on the ground.
The roar of the shotgun, in addition to causing huge damage, is undoubtedly extremely fatal to the morale of those sailors in the rear, those sailors who are lucky enough to miss the area swept by the shotgun, at this time one by one also looked at the terrifying momentum caused by the shotgun with a panicked expression, and then the eyes of each involuntarily revealed, are all retreating emotions.
"Bastard! Bastard! ”
Looking at the terrifying scene in front of him, Ronald's eyes seemed to be surging with monstrous anger.
But when the initial unspeakable anger receded, it was replaced by a great fear rising from the depths of the heart.
The shooting distance of the shotgun is extremely limited, so it can only play an effect when the two sides are extremely close like just now, and the sailors under Ronald naturally could not have expected the terrifying lethality of the shotgun, so almost in an instant, this group of people who were the first to attack and thought that they could teach the enemy a hard lesson fell into the deepest hell on earth in an instant.
And after defeating these dozen or so warships, the fierce offensive, wave after wave, almost endlessly pressed over.
The sailors who had reluctantly surrendered due to Ronald's iron-blooded methods, after seeing the most terrifying scene, their thoughts that had been silent one by one were active again at this time.
They don't want to die!
And in the face of the great fear of life and death, all sailors subconsciously flinched.
The strength of this naval fleet in front of them has completely exceeded the limit of what they can resist.
Sensing that the opponent's will to resist was getting weaker and weaker, the imperial fleet belonging to Chopin's side naturally would not miss such a great opportunity, and all the warships were pressed up at the first time.
Then, the heavens and the earth were filled with only endless cannon fire and almost never-ending screams and wails.
One sailor after another struggled and fought back, but in the end, they could only sink in this sea of blood.
This is the most terrifying scene!
In the thick smoke of gunpowder, the battleships were shattered, a large number of wooden planks were directly cracked, and the masts that were originally erected high also fell down at this time.
The original seventy or eighty warships, with more than twenty of them, had sunk to the bottom of the endless sea for eternity, and most of the rest had been traumatized, but on the originally solid deck, there were holes of different sizes at this time, and they were obviously also heavily damaged.
"Oh my God...... How so, help, help! ”
"Damn it, save me up, save me up, bastard...... Ahem...... Pull me up! ”
"Ahem, I'm hurt, throw the rope, throw the rope quickly......"
……
Under this almost crazy artillery fire, those unlucky sailors immediately stepped into the abyss of death, in addition, because of the capsizing of the battleship, there were a large number of sailors who fell into the muddy and blood-red sea, but the rest of the sailors would not care about them at this time, one by one just desperately fled.
**********
Ronald looked desperately at the blood-colored scene in front of him, which seemed to be falling into an infernal hell, and his whole face was extremely difficult to see in an instant, but at the same time, he was still muttering to himself.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
More than eighty warships against twenty or thirty warships, it is obvious that they have an absolute advantage, but at the moment, they have lost inexplicably, and they have lost very badly.
All this was a nightmare for Ronald.
Even if the other party has an amazing firearm like artillery, all this in front of him shouldn't be like this......
"Retreat, the whole army retreats!"
Looking at the battlefield in front of him with a hideous face, Ronald clenched his fists, and then coldly gave the order.
In this naval battle, they couldn't have lost any more, so they couldn't continue to fight no matter what, and at this time, Ronald's only choice was to retreat with the whole army.
However, Chopin didn't want to give the other party any chance to make a comeback, so how could the Imperial fleet, which had turned into a fierce and hungry wolf at this time, give up the food that had already reached his mouth.
"Attack with all your troops and annihilate all the ships!"
Located on the deck of Galen's galleon, Chopin gave the order for a raid on the whole army.
In the end, in that crimson blood, most of the warships belonging to Forderson's side sank permanently to the bottom of the endless sea, and only a dozen or so warships fled in a hurry like lost dogs.
However, although he won the battle with an absolute advantage, Chopin's face did not have much excitement at this time, but his eyebrows were tightened, and he seemed to be a little distressed.
"It shouldn't be like this......"
Staring at the wreckage of the battleships that had been shattered, Chopin couldn't help muttering to himself.
In this sea collision, most of the warships under Forderson were dispatched, but except for the warships, none of the "trial knights", magicians, and vindictive warriors appeared, and those who participated in the confrontation were just ordinary warriors, and judging from the fact that they could almost be said to be on the verge of collapse, even elite warriors could not be talked about.
What is this? Knowing that the confrontation on the sea is definitely not our opponent, so we choose to defend the land in an all-round way, so we don't want to waste any more elite soldiers?
Or does the other party have other plans?
**********
Just when Chopin was puzzled by this, in the palace of the "Holy Radiance City", White was staring at the strategic deployment map in front of him with a tight brow.
"Crunch"
At this moment, the wooden door was suddenly opened.
Then a man with his head down all the time walked straight in.
"Got a result?"
White raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.
"Yes, my lord, just now, the fleet led by Ronald has been completely routed."
"It's a waste, but that's fine, don't let me down."
After hearing the news of Ronald's defeat, White did not show much surprise and anger because of this, but responded lightly, but the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up later.
"Come on, come on, don't let me down then......"
As the young man receded, he returned to the silent room, and soon there was a muffled voice, as if he was expecting something, and as if he was nervous.
