Chapter 42: Death Rush
readx;
Maybe it was Yue Shi Niang's anger that moved the heavens, or maybe it was because the distance was too close, the artillery hit rate increased a lot, and the result of this round of fleet salvo was that three magic guide battleships in the pursuit detachment of the undead fleet were beaten into torches!
Yue Shi Niang didn't think that this was the will of heaven, she knew how much that this thief was the culprit of the human race's desperate situation, she would rather believe that this was the result of the closer distance, so in order to kill the enemy as much as possible, she did not continue to escape, but ordered to turn around, and rushed towards the pursuing fleet face to face!
The distance between the two sides was soon shortened by four kilometers, at this distance, the pursuing fleet can be said to be a cannon without missing fire, each battleship can destroy a flying shear light cruiser with a salvo, but the hit rate of the flying shear light patrol has also increased a lot, after all, they use rifled artillery, even if it is an old-fashioned breech gun, its accuracy is not comparable to that of smoothbore guns!
Because the rate of fire of both sides was about the same, the flying shear fleet, which had a numerical advantage in the local area, had the upper hand in the battle, although a large salvo of the enemy could destroy more than a dozen of its own warships, but a salvo of its own side could still destroy seven or eight of the enemy's warships!
The artillery fire rumbled, and in the fierce light, the distance between the two sides was shortened by two kilometers!
At this time, there were still eight magic warships left in the pursuing fleet, and the number of flying shear fleets had also been sharply reduced to sixty!
"Destroy their !!"
Yue Shi Niang roared, operated the cannon with her own hands, and hit the cannonball at the nearest magic guide battleship!
As if receiving a signal, the flying shear fleet immediately fired its cannons!
And in the face of the dense barrage of the flying shear fleet, the pursuing fleet of the Immortal Kingdom was not to be outdone, and fired the last salvo of their lives!
Two kilometers, this distance is too close and too close, so close that the old rifled artillery also has a hit rate of about 50%, under the dense barrage of hundreds of 75 incendiary bombs, those eight magic warships were beaten into fireballs in an instant!
On the other hand, the Flying Shear fleet also paid a heavy price, and under the last stand of the enemy, eight more battleships were destroyed! The ultra-high temperature carried by the magic beam ignited their ammunition boxes, and in an instant, the eight battleships were blown apart by the detonated ammunition, and then slowly capsized and sank in flames!
At this point, the flying shear detachment has lost almost half of its warships!
And seven kilometers away to their right, the main fleet of undead ships numbering as many as eighty ships was killing at full speed with great momentum!
"For the sake of the empire, there is only death!"
It's just that Yue Shi Niang and the soldiers of the Flying Shear Detachment were fearless, and they followed Yue Shi Niang's crazy shouts!
"Go ahead, let's not run! Close the distance and them! Yue Shi Niang ordered loudly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The experience of annihilating the enemy's pursuit detachment just now made the soldiers carry out this order very neatly, compared to fighting fate from afar, or fighting bayonets with the enemy at close range, and mutually assuring each other to destroy is more to their liking - there is heaven, and the imperial soldiers are not afraid of death! As long as they can make war achievements, even if they give up this life, it is not a big deal for them!
……
"Are these humans all crazy?!" Seeing the flying shear fleet that did not flee and advanced, Xerxes couldn't help but look at Utaniv, the enemy's madness had far exceeded their expectations!
Xerxes and Utaniv thought that the reason why the flying shear detachment would fight with the pursuing detachment with bayonets just now was because there was no escape, and they had to make this choice! Only now they find out that they are wrong! In order to destroy the enemy as much as possible, these humans can even give up their own lives!
"Hoe the Devil, Go to Heaven !!"
"Hoe the Devil, Go to Heaven !!"
Nearly seven kilometers away, the frenzied shouts of the soldiers of the Flying Sword Detachment could be heard, which made Xerxes feel a little panicked in his heart.
"The example of the battle just now shows that the closer the distance, the smaller the gap between the accuracy of our army and the enemy, and the greater our losses will be, so I suggest that the fleet turn around and distance itself from the enemy!" Utaniv admonished at the right time.
Xerxes nodded, but immediately smiled bitterly again: "Just now we couldn't wait to get close to the enemy, but now we have to do exactly the same thing as the enemy, it's ironic to think about it!" ”
"However, our artillery accuracy is higher than that of the enemy, and we can destroy and chase them more efficiently." Utaniv said.
"This is true." Xerxes nodded in agreement, and wanted to give the order to turn, but at this moment, the flying shear fleet actually fired first, or placed the guns on the deck, and increased the range by raising the muzzle elevation angle, and fired a salvo first, nearly seven kilometers apart!
This time, the flying shear fleet was lucky, and it still hit two enemy ships despite being reduced by more than half of its personnel, which immediately made Xerxes and Utaniv suffer for a while!
"Shhhh These mad dogs! Xerxes was so angry by this round of shelling that he did not give the order to turn again, but said, "You want to close the distance?" Okay, I'll fulfill you, anyway, the annihilation of our army today is inevitable, in that case, let's take you broken sailboats to hell together! ”
Shocked by this, Utaniv opened his mouth to try to persuade him, but he couldn't spit out a word, and finally simply closed his mouth and acquiesced.
"Yes, anyway, when the acceleration is over, the magic energy propulsion device will be scrapped, and then it will only be slaughtered by others, in that case, it is better to pull more cushions."
It's just that Xerxes didn't give the order to turn to the towing knife, but this doesn't mean that he is willing to take the initiative to close the distance, under his order, the undead main fleet has beaten the hull horizontally, opening a horizontal battle line!
"Fire!" Xerxes ordered with a blank face.
Suddenly, the battle line formed by the magic guide battleship fired a salvo of full firepower!
More than a hundred dazzling magic guide beams shot out at the same time, forming a reverse fan in mid-air, enveloping the charging flying shear detachment in it!
At the same time that the white light disappeared, a violent explosion occurred in the formation of the flying shear detachment, and it was just a salvo, and the more than 20 flying shear battleships that rushed in front were destroyed, and the fire of the ammunition explosion suddenly brightened up half of the sky!
"Hmph, this is the end of self-indulgence!" Xerxes sneered.
Utaniv also smiled and nodded in agreement.
It's just that in the next moment, they couldn't laugh a little, because those flying shear battleships were still charging! Charge without the slightest hesitation!
"Do these humans really think they can go to heaven? Do they really think that heaven exists? Utaniv stammered.
Xerxes did not answer because he did not know the answer to this question.
"Boom !!"
A large area of fire suddenly appeared in the formation of the flying shear detachment, and hundreds of cannonballs dragging long flame tails shrouded the undead fleet again!
At this time, the distance had been shortened to five kilometers, so the hit effect was much better, and the magic guide battleships in the five battle lines were hit and burned miserably!
Exchanging at least half of the ships for five enemy ships was a deal that could not be worth it, but Xerxes and Utaniv still made a bit of a loss to themselves.
"It's just been twenty years to search for old sail warships, and five new magic warships have been replaced, damn humans! A mad dog who doesn't know whether to live or die! "These new magic warships were built by Utaniv, and it is okay to say that they are his sweethearts, and seeing them replaced by a bunch of broken ships one by one, Utaniv's heart is like a knife!
"It doesn't matter, one more salvo and these damn broken sailboats can go to hell!" Xerxes felt the same uncomfortable, but he had to be calmer, just staring at the flying shear detachment fiercely.
Ruthless and ruthless, Xerxes's words are still very reasonable, at this time, there are still sixty-nine magic warships in the undead main fleet, even if it is aimed at an enemy ship, it can destroy the opponent in one round! And this time is different from the last time, the reason why the last salvo failed to solve the enemy in one round is because the enemy's formation is layered - the battleships in front have made shields for the battleships behind, but this time it is different, the formation of the flying shear detachment with only more than 20 battleships left is already very thin, and all the surviving battleships have already exposed their bodies!
Although Xerxes's abacus is wonderful, but Yue Shi Niang, the admiral, is not a vegetarian, and the formation has no depth, so wouldn't it be good to forcibly create a depth?!
Under her order, the remaining twenty or so flying shear battleships completed the change of formation at a very fast speed, and the eight battleships resolutely stepped forward and used their bodies to block the enemy's artillery fire for Paoze!
