Xerxes glanced at the Flying Shear Light Patrol detachment, which was changing course and detouring from his flank, and his face became even more gloomy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Continue to keep course, close to the enemy ironclad ships, don't care about those wooden flies, their guns only have a range of four kilometers, and the accuracy is not enough in the ultimate range, if they dare to come over, gather fire and destroy them!" After thinking about it for a moment, Xerxes made a decision.

Utanif was not a coward, in fact, Xerxes was subordinate to him if he was tougher than his character, so he had no opinion on Xerxes's order, so he nodded and ordered the skeleton herald to give the order to the flag.

And the Flying Shear Light Patrol Detachment, naturally they are not interested in leaning up to receive the magic guide cannon, you must know that their ship is not wearing a single piece of mirror armor in order to strengthen the speed to the maximum, so even at the limit distance, they will be beaten into torches floating on the sea by the magic guide cannon!

However, this does not mean that the Flying Shear Light Cruisers are helpless against the undead fleet, in fact, long before the start of the Great War, they have already found a way to pose a threat to the undead fleet!

"Has the elevation angle of the gun been adjusted?" Admiral Yue Shiniang, the commander of the flying shear light patrol detachment, stood on the helm platform at the stern, staring at the undead fleet with a telescope, ignoring the undead fleet of his own detachment, and the corners of his mouth with beautiful lines hooked, revealing a sneer.

The adjutant had been paying attention to the progress of the artillery adjustment, and immediately replied: "Your Excellency, the elevation angle has been adjusted!" ”

"Good!"

Yue Siniang put down the binoculars, stared at the old 75 old-fashioned rifled gun that had been put on the deck with burning eyes, and sneered:

"The Rotten Bones thought we couldn't reach them, now it's time to correct their mistake!"

At this time, the single horizontal formation of the flying shear fleet had completely maneuvered to the flank of the undead fleet, and the two sides were advancing in parallel about seven kilometers apart!

The adjutant nodded and immediately gave the order to open fire!

And just like that, amid the roar of 75 caliber rifled guns, Armageddon finally officially began!

Seeing that the Lightning, which was the flagship of the detachment, opened fire, the other ninety-nine flying shear light cruisers fired their own 75 shells at the same time at the next moment, as if they had received a signal!

"Are these humans crazy about gains and losses? Fire at such a distance. Utaniv pouted as he looked at the flanks of the flanked detachment of the Flying Shears Light Patrol.

Xerxes also wanted to mock and echo a few words, but before he could speak, he was stunned by the scene in front of him!

Eight hundred 75 rifled shells dragged a long burst of fire into the sky like a rain of meteors, but they did not fall into the sea three kilometers away from the undead fleet, but followed an astonishing trajectory and fell from the top of the undead fleet that was charging in a goose-shaped formation!

"How is this possible?!" Xerxes's voice trembled, if even 75 small cannons can hit so far, then how far should the 152 guns on the ironclad ship be able to hit?!

But the fact is a false alarm, I don't know why, although the range is unexpectedly long, but the shells of the flying shear light patrol are ridiculously scattered, a full 800 shells, only two really hit the undead fleet, the other 798 shells fell into the sea next to the undead fleet, splashing a lot of water!

It's just that even so, Xerxes and Utaniv still feel a little painful, even if only two battleships are hit, it is a big loss! You must know that the Central Imperial Navy of Dog Day uses all white phosphorus shells that are damaged by the sinister white phosphorus! As long as it is hit, the ship will be hopeless!

"Alas!"

Using the telescope to observe his pitiful results, Yue Shi Niang sighed faintly, although increasing the elevation angle of the gun can effectively increase the firing range, but in this way, because there is no optical rangefinder, the hit rate of the old-fashioned artillery with a low hit rate is even more touching, and the full eight hundred shells only hit three shots, which is simply laughable.

And this is still the first round, with an unexpected buff bonus, and then the enemy will naturally not be so staring and beaten, presumably targeted measures will be made soon!

The facts were exactly as Yue Shi Niang thought, after being hit by a round of artillery and losing two magic guide warships, Xerxes immediately made a change, not only ordered the main force of the fleet to increase the gap in the formation to reduce the chance of being shot, but also separately divided a detachment composed of twenty magic guide warships, and rushed towards Yue Shi Niang's flying shear detachment!

"These rotten bones are really incomprehensible, and people can't fight fate if they want to!" Yue Shi Niang pouted and complained, and immediately ordered the fleet to change course and formation, using the same oblique towing tactics as the main fleet.

While the Flying Shear Fleet was in trouble, the Ironclad Main Fleet deliberately slowed down and put the main force of the Undead Fleet within a nine-kilometer range!

At this time, the turret pointing of all the battleships had been adjusted, and after the officer using the optical rangefinder reported the shooting Zhuyuan, the fleet commander Du Wei gave an order, and the fleet immediately began to project fire on the undead fleet!

"Boom, boom!!"

In the earth-shattering salvo of the 152 new artillery, one hundred and sixty 152 incendiary bombs dragged the firelight far longer than the 75 guns, and with a relatively low and flat trajectory, they went towards the undead fleet that was advancing in a poor manner!

However, compared to the vigor of the fire, the result of this round of shelling was dismal, one hundred and sixty shells, except for the surprise of the commanders of the fleet of the undead kingdom led by Xerxes and Utaniv, did not cause any damage to the undead fleet, and all of these one hundred and sixty shells were smashed into the sea, without exception......

"Shhhh I thought how accurate these iron ships were, and they didn't put flowers after a long time?! Utaniv wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his head and said with disdain on his face.

Xerxes was in a similar mood, and said mockingly: "Damn humans can also use range and speed to bully people, once they are within the range of the kingdom magic cannon, they are nothing!" ”

However, unlike the contempt and disdain of the commanders of the two undead kingdoms, Admiral Du Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Combined Fleet, was not very frustrated, with only a mere one hundred and sixty shells, and he still attacked the inferior enemy at the limit distance, and it was very normal for the first round to be completely empty, in fact, even if it was empty for several rounds in a row, it was expected. If you have to blame anything for this result, you can only blame the empire's technology tree for not climbing fast enough, and still not getting the radar out......

In addition, there is another reason why Du Wei is not very frustrated, unlike the old breech guns, the reloading speed of the 152 gun with breech loading method, metal fixed shells and automatic loading device is not comparable to the former! The former can hit two volleys a minute is good, and the latter, hehe, can hit six volleys in a minute!

What is the concept of six salvos in one minute? In other words, every ten seconds, the undead fleet will usher in a rain of white phosphorus bombs! Even if it is a probability, under such a density of firepower, the undead fleet will not be able to eat and walk around!

The second and third rounds of shelling were still regrettably empty, but in the fourth round, the losses of the undead fleet finally began to appear!

The three magic warships at the forefront of the formation were hit by 152 caliber incendiary bombs, and a large ball of fireballs exploded on the hull!

The charge of the 152 caliber incendiary bomb is about twice that of the 75 gun, and if the magic guide battleship hit by the 75 cannon can continue to fight for more than ten minutes, if it is hit by the 152 gun, the magic guide battleship will turn into a torch floating on the sea in less than five minutes!

Seeing the three warships gradually being engulfed in flames, Xerxes and Utaniv couldn't laugh at all, they never dreamed that the enemy could rain bullets at such a terrifying speed!

Under this level of firepower, no matter how poor the enemy's accuracy is, I am afraid that in less than an hour, the undead fleet will be completely annihilated! And with the enemy's speed superior, the undead fleet can't even turn and escape!

Xerxes and Utaniv glanced at each other, and said with burning eyes, "It can't go on like this!" ”

Utaniv knew what Xerxes meant, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't count the loss of the power of the Boosting Magic Propulsion Device, you can increase the speed to fifteen knots in an hour!" But the consequence is that the recommended device is completely scrapped! ”

"That is, if you do that, you have to decide the winner within an hour?" Xerxes asked, narrowing his eyes.

Utaniv nodded emphatically.

"Then do it! Rather than being slowly grinded to death by the enemy, it is better to fight for your life! It's just that Xerxes made a decision without hesitation in the next moment, "Order, raise the blood sickle flag on a black background!" ”

The blood sickle flag on a black background has a special meaning for the undead fleet, once it is suspended, it means that the life and death of the undead kingdom and the undead nation have reached the last moment.
