It's just that what Buchen and Talisa don't know is that not only did the enemy fleet re-aim its guns at their ship, but in fact, even the forbidden curse release platform that had been mixing with the troop carrier in the distance also began to slowly press forward at this time!

But don't get me wrong, it's not that Utaniv's brain suddenly cramped and sent a messy life, but that at this time, there is not much long-range heavy firepower in the Hushan Military Port that can threaten the forbidden curse release platform - in the fierce fire just now, the targets selected by the Expeditionary Fleet are all 48-pounder cannons! And in the case of the loss of the forty-eight-pounder cannon, the behemoth of the forbidden curse release platform can naturally be pushed forward with confidence!

It's just that the best attack distance for something like the military forbidden spell is also two miles, so in order to ensure that the forbidden spell can be released smoothly, outside the harbor, the beta, the highest precision firepower point, has become the next target of the Eastern Expeditionary Fleet!

Well, it's a bit inaccurate to say that the Beta is the next target, to be exact, the main target of the Expeditionary Fleet is the barrels of the two magic cannons on the Beta - the gun mount is protected by a full-coverage turret, so it can only hit ~ barrels.

However, in the undulating sea, aiming at a small cannon barrel that constantly swings up and down, left and right, even if it is a magic guide cannon, its hit rate is not much higher! The magic cannon can only have a perverted enough hit rate when the target is as big as a ship!

"Damn, they're trying to set us on fire! Will this armor stand up? Buchen held up his binoculars and glanced at the situation outside through the window of the bridge, and suddenly gasped.

It's just that before he could come up with an answer to this question, a large dazzling white light suddenly flashed in front of him!

There is no doubt that this is the enemy fleet that opened fire!

Moreover, judging by the density of this white light, this is at least the concentrated fire of dozens of magic cannons at the same moment!

He reflexively blocked his eyes with his hand, but to his surprise, the expected high temperature and scorching heat did not come!

Buchen put down his hand, looked around left and right, and finally realized why.

At this time, in the bridge, it was very clear that the turret of the magic guide cannon in the bow had been burned into fiery red by the high temperature! There are quite a few places that are even already melting!

As you can imagine, the target of the enemy's fire just now was the magic cannon! Although Buchen didn't know that the enemy was really aiming at the barrel, and the turret was only beaten like this because it was missed, but even so, this cannon would definitely be scrapped in a short time!

"The people in the turret are all familiar by this time, right?" Buchen wiped a cold sweat, and instantly felt that the bridge protected by heavy armor was not very safe.

"They're not aiming at the hull, they're aiming at our magic cannon, handsome, what do you think that means?" Teresa asked, frowning.

"What does it mean?" Being asked by Telisa, Buchen felt that this matter was a little strange, and began to think about it quickly, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a possibility, but in order to confirm the truth of this possibility, it was necessary for him to see it was believing!

Buchen did not delay any longer, and took advantage of the time when the enemy's artillery fire was accumulating, pushed open the hatch and ran to the deck, and then jumped onto the mast with light power!

"Sure enough!" Through the binoculars, you can see that the enemy's forbidden spell release platform has begun to advance.

Buchen jumped off the mast and ran back to the bridge.

"Quick, immediately! Pull the anchor and maneuver to meet the enemy with the stern of the ship! Buchen ordered.

Teresa didn't ask why, but faithfully carried out the order, and soon, the officers and men who received the order stirred the iron cable, put away the iron anchor, and then the gunners picked up the oars, poked out through the upper and lower gun windows, and rowed hard!

Because there was no sail at all before, and the wind at this point in time could not drive the ironclad ship at all, the ironclad ship could only rely on this method if it wanted to maneuver autonomously!

However, with only human paddling, the maneuverability of the ironclad ship was not to mention, and in the process, the enemy fleet fired another salvo, completely destroying the half-abandoned bow turret along with the gun barrel!

Fortunately, before the enemy's third salvo, the ironclad ship finally got the angle and aimed the chrysanthemum at the enemy, and at the same time, the magic guide cannon at the stern of the ship also fired the last beam, turning an enemy magic guide gunboat into a torch!

The reason why it was the last one was because in the next few minutes, this cannon was fired by three enemy fires in succession, and it was scrapped like the bow gun!

"Is this an escape?" Seeing that the ironclad ship met the enemy with the stern, Utaniv swung the bow of the ship in the direction of the waterway, and thought that the ironclad was going to escape, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face, "But ...... That's it, losing the magic cannon, and facing the enemy with the stern of the ship, unable to exert side firepower, this iron turtle is no longer a threat. Herald! Switch targets and start clearing secondary fire points on enemy turrets! ”

Unbeknownst to Utaniv, he had just made the biggest mistake of the battle - not completely sinking the ironclad!

And at some point in the next time, he also regretted it!

The artillery formation of the Eastern Expeditionary Fleet had lost more than half of it at this time, at least fifty magic guide battleships were sunk, and the rest were all wounded, but after receiving Utaniv's order, these battleships still faithfully continued to carry out the order!

The so-called secondary point of fire is, of course, a thirty-six-pounder gun that is one size smaller! As long as they are destroyed, the forbidden spell release platform is safe between three and two miles, and you can advance with confidence, without worrying about being sunk by random artillery before you reach the place!

……

Yue Shi Niang wiped the blood on her face, this blood was not her own, but that of a naval gunner who had just fallen, just now the ammunition of a thirty-six-pound cannon dozens of meters away was detonated by the magic guide beam fired by the enemy ship, not only several nearby twenty-four-pound guns were also blown up, but the fragments of the ammunition also flew around, cutting off the neck of a gunner beside her in half! Warm plasma squirted out of the broken neck and splashed her face!

To tell the truth, Yue Shi Niang has never fought such a tragic battle in her life, both the enemy and us have suffered heavy losses, but no one side is willing to take a step back, just a few miles away, put on an endless posture and fight against each other, it is simply desperate for human life, to see who can hold out to the end!

Others don't know, Yue Shi Niang feels that her nerves are on the verge of collapse, and now the only thing that supports her to stay on this turret is the obsession of avenging her eldest brother Duncan Lu, but she also knows very well that this obsession will not save her life, maybe in the next moment, the enemy will point the muzzle of the gun at the gun position where she is and roast her into charcoal like other naval officers and soldiers!

"Reload, reload!" Yue Shi Niang no longer wields the command knife and gives orders now, and the heavy losses are no longer enough for her to maintain the dignity of a general! She is now like an ordinary gunner, taking out the cannonballs from the ammunition box with all her strength, and as soon as she finishes cleaning the gunpowder residue in the barrel, she stuffs it into the muzzle of the gun as if she is dead!

"Reloaded, fire, fire!!"

Yue Shi Niang shouted hysterically.

The fire drill was inserted into the fire door, and with a bang, the thirty-six-pounder cannon let out a deafening roar and sped away towards an enemy ship a mile away!

Perhaps it was Yue Shi Niang's obsession that played a role, this cannonball hit near the waterline of a magic guide battleship impartially, and opened a big hole in the underwater part of the magic guide battleship! The sea water rolled in, and the skeleton soldiers couldn't block it with their bodies, and this magic guide battleship only lasted a few minutes on the surface of the sea before it capsized and sank because one side of the board had too much water!

It's just that before Yue Shi Niang and the gunners had time to cheer, a blackened herald rushed behind them, shouting loudly: "Lieutenant General Yue, Your Excellency the General asks you to retreat!" ”

"Retreat?!"

Yue Shi Niang and the gunners stared at the herald with incredulous eyes, "We have been holding the fort for so long, and we have killed so many brothers in battle, and now we are told to retreat?!" ”

"Lieutenant General Yue, this is General Zuo's order!" The herald stiffened his neck and said without flinching.

"Go and tell the second brother, I won't retreat! People are in the fort, people are dead, and the fort is dead! Yue Shi Niang was not interested in competing with a small soldier, but just said with a resolute face.

"Lieutenant General Yue, General Zuo knows that you will be stubborn, so let me tell you that this is part of the battle plan!"

"What?!"
