Chapter 82: The Sixth Heavenly Demon King
Chapter 82: The Sixth Heavenly Demon King
On the No. 1 position on Jeju Island, the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King", which entered the battlefield, pressed forward with the remaining thirty brigs of Owari, and the wheel array withdrew, and the brigs spread out to both wings with the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" as the center.
As the fleet advanced, the Owari fleet came into range of position No. 2 and the left battery, and the gunners, who had long been impatient, immediately opened fire. The Owari fleet ignored the shells that fell around them, and at this time the guns of the Jizhou fleet had all been muted, and Kondo Mijin concentrated all the artillery to cover the No. 1 position over and over again.
Although the Lingxiao Legion has built a lot of anti-artillery facilities as much as possible, under the dense shells like a shower, the field artillery hiding in the anti-artillery pit was destroyed one by one.
In the face of a massive attack by the Owari fleet, position No. 1 was quickly lost. But Kondo Mijin is not satisfied with the harvest of a small position, in his own continuous attack, the Northern Fleet has been weakened to the extreme, each position has been transferred a lot of warships, the second position is the defense area of the Lingxiao Combined Fleet, in the non-stop blood transfusion of the Jizhou fleet, they have seven brigs left.
If you don't hit the No. 2 position now, do you have to wait for the Northern Fleet to repair and replenish today's ships? Moreover, the Owari fleet has already entered the shelling zone of the No. 2 position and the left battery, and it will be artillery if it advances, and it will be artillery if it retreats, so why not take advantage of this time to attack.
Kondo Gojin put the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" at the forefront to attract firepower from many sides, and the three-masted battleship has thick skin, many crews, and many storages, making it a qualified firefighter and an excellent meat shield. The shells of the 12-pound iron smoothbore cannon could not cause too much damage to it in a short time, and the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" was so proud to lead a group of "little brothers" towards the second position.
The No. 2 Position Garrison Fleet relied on the position and battery to shrink to meet the battle, and was extremely close to resist the attack of the Owari Fleet, but in the face of the Owari Fleet that spread out in formation, the No. 2 Position Garrison Fleet soon suffered losses. The Owari fleet was not too easy either. In the face of the bombardment of shore-based iron smoothbore guns, the brigs of the Owari fleet were sinking one after another, but in the face of heavy losses, Kondo Mijin did not flinch, relying on powerful firepower to beat the battleship stationed in the second position into the sea.
The battle on the sea continued and raged, and the fleet stationed in Position 2 soon became tired. At this time, ten brigs were sailed from the port of the stars, and the new hulls showed that they had not yet experienced any war.
This is the Lingxiao Guards Fleet that has been hiding in the battle of the Angry Sea, even in the most difficult times, he did not think of using it, the pressure on the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" is too great. The intact Guards Fleet left behind by the Battle of the Furious Seas was used to resist the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King".
The members of the Lingxiao Guards are all college students, young, vigorous, and enthusiastic are the signs of this age, and the ships outside the port are in full swing, but they are pressed in the port and can't attack, they can only watch their own injured ships drive by their side, and the stimulated self-esteem has already swelled to the edge of the explosion. This time, he was sent to fight the "Sixth Day Demon King", and his resentment finally found a vent point and fucked him. What is the bull of the three-masted battleship, take a beating!
The Guards flotilla drove to the sea area of the second position, overtook the defending fleet and blocked the defending fleet behind it as soon as the hull of the ship was crossed. The cannon door has been opened. The muzzle of the gun was neatly rolled out like military training. Tang Yao fired a cannon, a hundred cannons fired a salvo, and the 12-pound iron ball blasted towards the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King".
The image of the "Sixth Day Demon King" on the battlefield of the brigs is really too stylish, and it also attracts hatred, and the ten brigs of the Guards Fleet ignore the attacks of the other warships in Owari. The incoming cannonballs caught the "Sixth Day Demon King" and beat it violently. The No. 2 temporary artillery position and the left battery also took advantage of its influence and aimed at the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King".
The "Sixth Day Demon King" took on the entire firepower of the Northern Fleet, and countless shells fell around it. The splash almost drowned it. Kondo Mijin, on the other hand, had already prepared, because it was an offshore battle. Belonging to the attacking side, the "Sixth Day Demon King" did not need too good speed and maneuverability, so before entering the battlefield, he reduced the storage of the "Sixth Day Demon King" and added a layer of iron armor plates to the outside of the hull.
The "Sixth Heavenly Demon King", which had increased its defensive power, stood tall under the rainstorm of cannonballs, attracting fire in front and the shelling of the Owari battleship in the back became much calmer.
Seeing that although his own artillery bombardment hit a lot, but did not damage the "Sixth Heaven Demon King", Tang Yao quickly discovered the abnormality of the hull of the "Sixth Heaven Demon King".
Gangzi owns the three-masted battleships "Flying Henan" and "Taishan", Tang Yao can be said to be the one who has the most contact with the three-masted battleship in the Lingxiao Legion, and also knows that the mobility and speed of the three-masted battleship under standard equipment are weaker than that of the two-masted battleship, looking at the armor plate and deep waterline of the "Sixth Day Demon King", she knows that the "Sixth Day Demon King" is currently exchanging her not very flexible and speed for a strong side defense.
In this case, it is extremely unwise to conduct a broadside gunfight, and the best solution is to take advantage of the slow movement of the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" to attack from both sides of the weak defense.
"The Guards Fleet, divided into two teams, the target is the bow and stern of the 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King'." Tang Yao quickly ordered.
"However, the order of the Admiral of the Angry Sea is not to engage in a melee with the Fuso fleet, and if we come forward to attack, the Owari fleet will definitely surround us."
"What is there to be afraid of thirty damaged ships, this time our Guards Fleet is going to leave the 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King' here forever."
This was the first time since the start of the war on Jeju Island that the Han Northern Fleet took the initiative to attack, and the ten brigs of the Lingxiao Guards Fleet outflanked the head and tail of the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" from both sides, and the Owari fleet hurriedly stepped forward to block it, and the two sides quickly scuffled together.
The enemy and our warships were mixed, and the No. 2 position and the left battery did not dare to open fire at will for fear of accidental damage, and the land-based shelling stopped. But the order of the angry sea clash soon came: "Who told you to stop firing!" ”
"But the Guards are already in a scuffle with the Owari fleet, and we are afraid of ......"
"What are you afraid of, can you really die if you hit you? There are nearly thirty warships in the Owari fleet, and we have ten, and the chance of hitting them is greater than hitting us, so you give me immediate fire! ”
In the angry sea of scolding, the cannon fire of the No. 2 position and the left battery resounded, and not only these firepower were dropped, but even the defending fleet of the No. 2 position, which had just rested, joined in the shelling of the melee ship group.
"Yaga! Raging Sea Clash is a bastard. Kondo Okami scolded from the ship, and the Owari fleet in the melee had to not only withstand the shelling from the Guards fleet, but also suffer from the three firepower points on the periphery. As he said to the Fury Sea Battle, the Guards Fleet would certainly have to withstand the attack of its own artillery, but the Owari Fleet suffered more.
The Owari fleet has been through a major battle, the hull has long been damaged, and a few cannons are wounded and wounded, and there are close to the attack of the Guards fleet, and there are shells from three firing points outside, and they have to keep blocking the cannonballs for the head and tail of the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King", which is miserable.
Relatively speaking, the Guards Fleet had not participated in the battle, the ships were in excellent condition, and the quality of the captains was quite high, although they had to withstand the attacks of the Owari fleet and their own side, but they still approached the end of the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King".
This is the first time that the player's three-masted battleship has participated in the battle, and the Battle of Jeju Island, which has attracted a lot of attention, has attracted more attention here. The majestic posture of the three-masted battleship is intoxicating, and as the focus of the attack of the Han Northern Fleet, the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" is still sharp in the surrounding shells, which is the strongest force in the ocean.
In the distance off the coast of Fuso Nagasaki, Tsuyoko canceled an ambush on the Fuso supply fleet at the last moment. Although the Star Fleet and the Mixed Fleet didn't know why Gangzi changed their plans temporarily, out of trust in Gangzi, they both changed course at the first time and ended the ambush on the Fusang supply fleet.
After the two fleets drove over the Fusang supply fleet, they quietly converged again, and the four small sailing ships that had left were recruited back by Gangzi, forming a cordon on the periphery of the fleet.
"Big brother, why did you cancel the ambush plan for the Fuso supply fleet? I was almost seen by them. Li Youtai, who came to meet with the Star Fleet, said hurriedly.
Gangzi didn't pretend to be mysterious, he explained: "Didn't you see that the 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King' has entered the battlefield? This is a good opportunity to sink it, if we appear and attack the Fuso supply fleet, the 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King' will not dare to go deep into the battle for fear of our existence, and the Northern Fleet will have no chance to sink it. ”
Li Youtai asked, "But is the Northern Fleet capable of sinking it?" You must know that the Tosa Fleet ambushed the Polonesk, but the Bolonetsk was separated and fought, and even then it took so long, the 'Sixth Day Demon King' was protected by the Owari Fleet nearby, and the Guards Fleet had few warships, so I thought that unless the entire Northern Fleet was used to besiege it, it would be impossible for them to sink the 'Sixth Day Demon King', but if the Northern Fleet attacked all of them, my territory would be dangerous. ”
Gangzi smiled and said: "For the sake of a three-masted battleship, it is impossible to use the entire Northern Fleet in the battle of the Angry Sea, and the Guards Fleet cannot sink the 'Sixth Heaven Demon King', isn't there still us?" ”
"Big brother is talking about ......"
"Hahaha...... Get your cameras ready, that's going to be ...... A moment worth collecting. (To be continued)
