However, the first exchange of fire between the two sides was not between warships, but as airship units of the Air Force. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBefore the warships of the two sides approached, the fleets of New Carthage and the Killing Kingdom raised airships one after another, and then rushed straight at the other party's warships.

In terms of numbers, there are more airships that kill the country than in New Carthage, with more than 300 ships, but on the New Carthage side, there are only more than 100 ships.

"Damn! These guys, even if they copy the airship of labor and capital, they still want to use the tactics of labor and management to hit my warship and shoot me! Shoot hard! Seeing the country-killing airship smashing the burning boulders towards his own warship, Shi Jinshui was furious.

Your own airship wants to stop it, but unfortunately it has a numerical disadvantage, and it can't stop all the airships that kill the country. Fortunately, as the inventor of the airship, Shi Jinshui was not negligent in air defense, and at least four or five giant crossbows for air defense were installed on each battleship.

While Shi Jinshui was busy with their own airships, the killing fleet quickly approached, and soon entered the effective range of their heavy trebuchets. As a result, huge boulders the size of a millstone were smashed towards Shi Jinshui and their warship. At the same time, Shi Jinshui's guns on their battleships also immediately returned fire.

Although the boulders fired by heavy trebuchets were much larger than the cannonballs, in terms of destructive power, the solid iron bullets fired by their guns were more destructive. As long as they are hit by the shells of these ships' guns, a large hole will be immediately shot out of the hull of the wooden battleship that kills the country. Among them, the flagship of Shi Jinshui, the Shui Shen, the power of the naval gun salvo was even more overwhelming, just one round of artillery bombardment, the three battleships opposite it were directly sunk, and one of the battleships was even more exaggerated and was bombarded and split on the spot.

"Haha! Pretty! The power is really powerful, it is not in vain that I have dispatched so many craftsmen, spent countless money, and studied for so many years! After seeing the powerful destructive power of his own artillery on the wooden battleship, Shi Jinshui couldn't help but laugh happily.

On the other side, Adjani was completely stunned at the first moment the cannon sounded, she originally thought that the Neo-Carthaginians still had a lot of exaggerations about their secret weapon, but after hearing the thunderous noise with her own ears and its terrible destructive power to her own warship, she realized that this thing was called the Doomsday Thunder, and it really lived up to its name!

"Such a powerful weapon, we must also have it to kill the country!" After recovering from her surprise, Adjani not only did not show any fear on her face, but muttered excitedly.

However, although New Carthage had a huge advantage in the battle of warships, they were completely inferior in the duel of air forces. After discovering that the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower was extremely strong and could not achieve results in a short period of time, all the airships that killed the country shifted their targets and went to besiege the enemy's airships.

Although the airships of the New Carthage side are equipped with powerful aerial bombs, these bombs are used to deal with enemy warships, and they cannot be used at all in the duel between airships, and the only thing they can use is a few giant crossbows on the airships.

So soon after the start of the war, it was possible to see the New Carthage airships being shot down from the sky one after another. Fortunately, Shi Jinshui invented the parachute as a life-saving equipment early, so even after the airship was shot down, most of the New Carthaginian soldiers were able to land safely by parachute.

"Damn it! That's not going to work! I think it's better to send out the Wind Protector troops! Seeing that the situation in the air war was becoming more and more unfavorable to his side, Hannibal opened his mouth and proposed to Shi Jinshui.

"This, alas! All right! But be careful, don't hang up! After hearing the other party's proposal, Shi Jinshui hesitated, but agreed, after all, if he completely lost air supremacy, this battle would become extremely difficult.

And the reason why Shi Jinshui hesitated was because Hannibal himself was also a member of this army. This so-called Wind Protector army is actually what Hannibal insists on establishing. Ever since he heard about the airplane, the main equipment of the future air force, from Shi Jinshui's mouth, this guy has always been fascinated by this kind of thing that was blown by Shi Jinshui, and finally took a group of craftsmen and tossed out a few wooden ******. Then by chance, one of his soldiers, while piloting a ****** test flight, happened to encounter an updraft, causing the ******, which was supposed to be about to land on the ground, suddenly rose a lot.

This chance event inspired him, and since then, he has led a group of air force soldiers who are extremely sensitive to changes in air temperature, training day and night, and finally being able to glide in the air for more than 20 minutes before landing without stable flight power.

However, this superb skill of gliding by relying on updrafts is not something that everyone can master, and there are more than 100 people who contacted Hannibal at the beginning, and only five people can successfully master this skill, and some of them have paid the price of their own lives.

After obtaining Shi Jinshui's consent, Hannibal immediately beckoned the soldiers on the ship and pushed out the special ****** of the Wind Protector troops, these ****** were extremely simple in structure, except for a wooden fuselage, only a propeller and crossbow arrow embrasion in the nose.

The propeller was not a high-tech product that was mechanically driven, but was attached to a foot pedal in the cabin, which was used by the Wind Protector warriors to pedal and accelerate in an emergency.

Under Shi Jinshui's worried gaze, these five ****** were quickly installed in front of a device that seemed to be a large slingshot, and then with a loud bang, these five ****** were shot out of the deck of the battleship like arrows from the string. After being shot off the deck, Hannibal and the other four Wind Protector warriors immediately began to concentrate on adjusting their fighters, using the force of the ejection just now to lift their fighters into the air as much as possible.

In order to better feel the hot and cold changes of the air current, the cabins of these ****** are not covered by hatches, and the whirring wind constantly blows on the faces of those soldiers, blowing their faces out of shape, and if they are not wearing a pair of goggles, they probably can't even open their eyes.

Despite countless exercises, flying such an aircraft without stable power is still an extremely risky activity. This is not! One of the Wind Protectors apparently didn't control his fighter properly, and after flying a few hundred meters, he plunged headlong into the sea.

Seeing this scene, Shi Jinshui's hearts couldn't help but rise, but fortunately, within a few seconds, the Wind Resistor warrior surfaced and shouted loudly to everyone on the boat: "I'm fine!" It's just that the fighter plane is broken, and I have to prepare a new one, I have to hurry up and help in the war! ”

"Damn! Hannibal's men are really dying! But only people like them who don't want to die can dare to fly these unpowered planes to fight in the sky before the start of the industrial revolution! Seeing that this Wind Resistor warrior was fine, Shi Jinshui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, the other four ****** had successfully lifted into the air dozens of meters with the help of the ejection force just now, but this was not enough, and then they stepped on the pedal hard, turned the propeller in front of the nose, stabilized their fighters, and then silently felt the changes in the surrounding airflow, preparing to lift off again with the help of the updraft.

"Hmmm! What's that? New Weapons of the Neo-Carthaginians? After seeing the strange flying machines that had been ejected from the enemy warship, Adjani couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart.

Under her gaze, the strange flying machines circled in the air a few times, and then they actually flew higher and higher, and finally flew to a height about the same as the airships on both sides.

"Brethren! Follow me! Let these country-killers see the power of our wind resisters! With Hannibal's order, the four ****** that had risen to a sufficient height immediately pounced on the killing airship troops at a great speed like four eagles. At this time, the Wind Protector who broke his ****** during the first take-off also happened to be piloting a new ****** and started his second take-off.

Seeing Hannibal and his strange flying machines rushing towards them, the killing airship troops immediately felt bad, and fired crossbow arrows at these strange flying machines in an attempt to stop each other. However, compared to the slow-flying airships, the ****** piloted by the Wind Protectors were as nimble as birds, and with a few light shakes of the fuselage, they avoided all the crossbow arrows shot by the opponent.

"Haha! Now it's our turn! With a sneer, Hannibal pressed the button for the crossbow bolt on the fighter's plane, and the bolt whizzed out of the emhole in the nose of his plane.

Hannibal and the others were able to easily dodge the crossbow arrows that came from the fire, but these airships could not, otherwise the airships on the New Carthage side would not have been shot down in large numbers shortly after the start of the battle. Now these country-killing airships are also in the same fate, as long as they are targeted by the fighters piloted by the wind resisters, and a few crossbow arrows pass, they will stop eating directly.

Although there were only four fighters, Hannibal and his wind protectors were like lions that had broken into a flock of sheep, completely ignoring the opponent's weak counterattack firepower, and constantly crisscrossing and crisscrossing the formation of country-killing airships, shooting down one country-killing airship after another.

At this moment, Hannibal and his Windbreaker warriors were the only masters of the sky, and this was also the reward for their hard training for nearly ten years at the risk of risking their lives.
