Chapter 365: Shelling Portsmouth

Half an hour later, the Senyuki sailed away from the area. Even legendary battleships such as the Black Pearl are no match for the Thousand Snows, let alone such an ordinary first-class battleship. After flying kites for half an hour, the Qianxue sank these battleships one by one, and even the soldiers who were holding on to the planks were not spared, and all of them died.

"Childe, where are we going next? Continue to strangle pirates? Recently, there have been fewer and fewer pirates to meet, and business is getting worse and harder......" Shuang'er said depressedly.

"Well, since the pirates are gone, let's not rush to fight the pirates first, let's leave the Caribbean and go somewhere else." Li Mu said.

"And where are we going?" Shuang'er asked, spreading out the chart.

"Portsmouth!"

"Portsmouth?" Shuang'er silently read the strange name, "What kind of place is this?" Pirate lair? ”

"In a sense, that's true," Li Mu said with a smile, "but now it's the home port of the British Royal Fleet." ”

"To sneak up on the military port?" Shuang'er's face was not worried, but full of excitement. "Is it revenge for their actions?" Shuang'er's face was full of eagerness.

"Well, it's not all," Li Mu pondered his words before continuing, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with them choosing to be my enemy, this is a conflict of interest. If that's all I do, I won't be angry, and I'll try to fight them as openly as possible. It's nothing to play tricks and ambushes, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, and there is nothing to resent if you lose if your skills are not as good as others. But they shouldn't have chosen to use one person's compassion to set a trap, and if everyone did do this, who would come forward to help if they really encountered a merchant ship in need? This kind of behavior is the same as the old lady who fell down to touch the person who helped him, this kind of behavior simply lowers the moral level of the entire human race, and this kind of method is really a bit shameful. If you meet such a person, you should let him go to hell and repent of his mistakes. ”

"Understood, sail to the Atlantic, destination Portsmouth, Thousand Snows, departure." Shuang'er beautifully turned to the rudder, and the Qianxue rode the wind and waves into the distance.

Late at night, Portsmouth.

Portsmouth is an excellent harbour located in Hampshire, southeast of England, south of the Solent Strait, and has been one of the most important naval bases in the whole of Holy Britannia since the establishment of a shipyard here in 1496 and a naval base in 1540. Later, it became the headquarters of the Navy. It's just a little lower than London.

Of course, it also has another name, Pompey, which is Pompeii, and the ancient city that was swallowed by volcanic ash is the same name.

A large number of warships are moored here all year round, and countless naval soldiers have sailed to seven continents and four oceans on warships from here, planting the Mizi flag all over the world. It can be said to be the cradle of the Royal Navy. Today, however, this sacred place in the eyes of the Royal Navy has welcomed an uninvited guest.

"Childe, we're here." Shuang'er carefully examined the chart, then compared the surrounding references, and finally pointed to the big lighthouse in the distance.

"Well, according to the old rules, first cover the barracks with firepower, then light out the batteries with counterattack capabilities, and finally smash all the ships in the harbor to pieces, I want to see what you can do to support the great cause of your empire after losing the Royal Navy." Li Mu looked at the city that was still asleep and said.

Understood, Shuang'er nodded, took over the captain's star in Li Mu's hand and began to control the artillery to aim at the barracks in the barracks, and then issued an order to fire a salvo.

Boom, boom, flames emerged from the muzzles, and shells streaked across the dark night sky and fell into the sleeping barracks.

Boom, boom, barracks were blown upside down, and everywhere the camp became dented craters. Many people have become dead souls while still asleep. Although it is a British naval base, it is not heavily guarded because it has been peaceful for a long time.

Moreover, even the guards only arranged duty officers on the batteries on the coast, and who would have thought in this day and age that someone would be able to knock down the position of the barracks with shells directly from the sea.

In an instant, dozens of barracks were overturned, hundreds of sailors were blown to pieces, and this was only the first round of shelling. More shells are still on the way.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack." At the moment of the artillery salvo, many of the defenders on duty at the battery were awakened, and they lay on the battlements and looked down, and found that a white battleship was firing a cannon salvo on the dark sea, and a turquoise cannonball crossed the sky like a meteor and fell towards the barracks in the rear.

Boom, boom, another barracks were overturned, and broken limbs fell everywhere.

Many of the battery guards couldn't help but shrink their necks in fright when they saw this scene, and many of them began to secretly rejoice that they were on duty at the fort today, otherwise, they would have been blown to pieces in their sleep, just like those colleagues who were in the camp.

"Hurry up and shoot back, hurry up, push the artillery out." At this time, a soldier finally remembered his responsibility, so he decisively pushed the gun out, and then began to load ammunition according to the predetermined shooting yuan.

"Gunpowder refilled."

"Shell reloaded."

"Put!"

Rumble! A huge solid iron ball rose into the air and smashed straight towards the Thousand Snow.

"Well, the reaction was pretty fast, but it was just useless." Li Mu saw the whistling cannonball with a finger in his hand, and a white pillar of light flew out from his finger, hitting the huge iron ball directly, and half a second later, the iron ball exploded, exploded into a fine iron mill in the air, and drifted down with the wind.

"Devil, it's the devil, everyone run." At this time, a soldier finally remembered the rumors he had heard some time ago. In the Caribbean, there is a white bone warship called the Thousand Snow, which does not rob merchant ships or ransack towns, and its biggest hobby is to sneak up on the garrison's camp every night, and all the garrison camps it targets are devastated. It is said that many cutting-edge warships were sent to look for this battleship, but many battleships disappeared inexplicably, and this battleship has never been found.

Originally, everyone just listened to the whole news as an anecdote and didn't take it seriously, but at this moment, the real scene in front of them made them realize that all this was true.

They were British navy, they were not afraid of death, and they were not lacking in courage, but all this was only possible if their opponents were people. But when they have to fight the devil, who has much courage left.

There was a mess on the battery, some people fled in terror, some sat on the ground and muttered prayers, some adjusted their guns to prepare for return fire, and some held their heads and acted as ostriches.

However, while they were in a mess, the counter-attacking artillery was already aimed at them. Boom Boom! With a violent explosion, the entire fort was blown to pieces, and countless rubble shot in all directions, and the originally strong fort had become a pile of rubble at this time.

All that happened on the battery was just a microcosm of Portsmouth. This scene was played out in different places at any time, on the batteries, in the camps, on the battleships, and the shelling continued. The night was not destined to be peaceful.
