Buchen had seen the Grand Fleet of the Pirate King Duncan Lou before, if you want to talk about the scale, the Crusade fleet of the Immortal Kingdom in front of him was actually only one-third of the Pirate King's fleet that he had seen back then, but I don't know why, the scale is relatively small, but the oppressive power brought by this Crusade Fleet is far greater than that of the Pirate King's fleet, and this is not just the relationship between the magic cannon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, at such a distance where the figure could just be seen, the magic cannon, which was not particularly large, was almost impossible to distinguish, and if I had to say, it seemed to be something with a similar temperament. Wherever the Immortal Kingdom's fleet goes, it always brings people a sense of despair, depression, and decay!

And this feeling, combined with their appearance as hellish ghosts, always has a very good deterrent effect, especially for civilians living in peacetime, or believers who are full of ghosts and gods. Fortunately, the army of Buchen is not among them, and the soldiers in the Hushan Military Port at this moment, whether it is the navy with a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes, or the real national army army, will not be intimidated by these things! On the contrary, from the moment they saw the Crusade Fleet, these soldiers all became excited!

"Credit, it's here!"

At this time, in the Crusade fleet, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

"What's that? The remnants sent only one ship to meet the enemy! And still don't move! Utaniv held a clairvoyant mirror in his hand and looked at the harbor opposite, his face full of confusion.

"Commander, something seems wrong with that ship!" Deputy Commander Randster also held a clairvoyant and stared at the Beta.

"Yes." Utaniv nodded, "The ship...... That ship seems to be made of iron? ”

Utaniv's tone was full of doubts, apparently unconvinced.

"Your Excellency, the ship is reflecting the sunlight so strongly, and as far as I know, there is no other kind of wood in the world that can do that!" Lancet said with a frown.

"But how could a ship made of iron drift on the sea? It should just sink away, right? "I don't have much knowledge of physics, and I can only play magic in my life.

"Anyway, Commander, it's floating on the sea right now, with our own eyes."

"That's it!" Utaniv put down the clairvoyant mirror irritably, "It doesn't matter what it's made of, just sink him with a magic cannon!" Order the first artillery formation to come forward and carry out the attack! ”

"Yes!"

Lancet immediately had the herald convey the order in flag language to the 1st Artillery Formation, which was located on the right flank of the fleet.

The first artillery formation of the Eastern Expeditionary Fleet has a total of twenty-three magic cannon battleships, and these battleships belong to the fast ships in the magic cannon battleships, that is, the hull is small, and only the bow is a fast battleship with a magic guide cannon.

It should be mentioned that it was the first artillery formation that attacked the human merchant ships along the way and killed all the sailors and merchants indiscriminately.

After receiving the order, the 1st Shell Formation immediately hoisted its sails, accelerated out of the array, and pressed towards the Beta!

……

Hushan East Fort, left horizontal Xiang this formation.

"Your Excellency, the enemy's fast fleet has approached four miles outside the harbor and has entered the effective range of the forty-eight-pounder guns, and Mario, the commander of the East Battery garrison, has sent me to ask for instructions on whether to open artillery to bombard enemy ships?!"

A herald hurriedly broke into the formation, knelt down to the left and clenched his fists, and asked in a hurry.

"How does the battle plan prescribe?" Zuo Heng squinted his eyes slightly, stroked his long beard, and acted as a general, sat on the Taishi's chair, listened to the report and instructions of the herald, and asked the secretary standing behind him with an impassive expression.

"Back to Your Excellency Admiral, the battle plan stipulates that the enemy will bombard with all his strength when he enters the firing range to provide cover for the ironclad ship!" The secretary replied immediately.

"That being the case, boom !!"

Zuo Hengyan took out a general order from the handsome case in front of him, shook his hand and threw it to the herald.

"Order!"

The herald grabbed the token, turned and ran out of his camp.

Soon, the roar of the forty-eight-pounder cannon shook the heavens and the earth!

"It's so far!"

Seeing a large burst of cannon flames suddenly flash from a battery in the east, and then, a few seconds later, a large column of water splashed next to the battleship of his first artillery formation, Utaniv couldn't help but stand up from the captain's chair.

"This cannon is at least four miles away!" Deputy Commander Randster calculated the distance and said to Utaniv.

"Hmm." Utaniv agreed with a sinking face, but his eyes were staring directly at the batteries that were still firing in the distance, and at this time, after the eastern batteries began to shoot, the other three batteries followed closely behind, and began a chorus!

"The effective distance of our army's magic guide cannon is only two miles, but the enemy's cannon can hit four miles, although the accuracy is indeed quite poor, but the number is large, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be hit!" Lancet analyzed.

Coincidentally, as soon as he finished speaking, a forty-eight-pound solid cannonball fired from the West Battery hit a fast battleship of the First Artillery Fleet, because it directly hit the middle of the hull, and the destructive power of this cannonball was too great, even though it was only a solid shell, it still smashed the keel of this clipper!

The swift battleship immediately snapped from it, and sank into two pieces at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whirlpool it created swept all the living creatures on board, and there was no need to look at the battleship

The members must have all died.

"My true God!" Lancet clutched his chest, a shocked expression on his face.

Utanif glanced sideways at Lancet and pouted, "What a crow's mouth!" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, you can't go on like this!" Lancet did not hear Utaniv scold him, and when he came to his senses, he immediately admonished.

Utaniv nodded, agreeing with Ranster's opinion: "It really can't go on like this!" The enemy has the advantage of range, and we will either let the 1st artillery formation come back now and the whole army will retreat. Either we have to press it hard and enter our firepower, or we can only stare and be beaten! ”

"Your Excellency, the kingdom has given us such a powerful fleet, but we have gained nothing, and we have also lost a fast warship, this is unacceptable, right?" Ranster asked, his face a little pale.

"That's true." Utaniv sneered, stared at Lancet and said, "So let's say there are two choices, but in fact, there is only one choice." ”

"Then without further ado!" Lancet's eyes quickly became firm.

"Don't go in one formation at a time! In addition to troop carriers and chain boats, other formations are on board! Suppress them with firepower, then cover the chain boat to bombard with a forbidden spell! Utaniv ordered loudly.

The order was communicated and executed with great efficiency, and the main fleet group of the Crusade Fleet began to press forward rapidly!

At this time, the fast fleet that rushed to the forefront had approached the distance of three kilometers from Hushan Port!

"Thirty-six pounder! Fire! ”

Yue Shi Niang, who was in front of the enemy commanding the battle, suddenly pulled out her slender and exquisite command knife, pointed at the first artillery formation and shouted.

Because the 48-pounder cannon is too cumbersome and expensive, even if it is not a minister, it only equips the Hushan Military Port with 97 guns, while the 36-pounder cannon is moderately weighted and costly, equipped with a total of 137 guns, and the picture of salvo bombardment with the 48-pounder cannon is really not too spectacular, for a while, the entire Hushan is a large black and red cannon flame flashing!

As the thirty-six-pounder guns joined the attack, the casualties of the 1st Artillery Formation immediately skyrocketed!

In a short period of time, three more fast magic cannon battleships were destroyed and sunk!

"If the port of Hushan is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!!" Seeing that the warships of the self-army were sunk one by one, Utanif was in great pain and shouted angrily.

"Your Excellency Commander, although our army has suffered heavy losses, it is worth paying these costs!" Randster's eyes were red from the excitement of the sight in front of him, but he still retained his basic sanity, "Look, my lord, the first artillery fleet has entered within two miles of the enemy!" ”

Utaniv Dingqing saw it and found that it was indeed the case, he immediately turned his face into a smile, and said happily: "Finally, it's time for us to counterattack, the first artillery formation, let the human beings see how powerful you are!" ”

However, Utaniv didn't know that this flag could not be set up indiscriminately, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw two blazing white lights suddenly shoot out from the battleship that seemed to be made of steel, turning the two closest fast magic cannon battleships into torches floating on the sea!

"How can humans have ...... Magic Cannon?! ”
