Chapter 152: Naval Battle (Part II)

"Woo~Woo~Woo~......"

The hull of the three primary warships converted from fishing boats has been dried in the sun after a few days, the wooden planks are smooth, and the left and right sides are painted with large ship names, which is very conspicuous.

The propellers turned, the sails were raised, and sailed.

The thirty-four-meter-long hull sounds quite long, but in fact it is a small point in the ocean, and the average destroyer is also a hundred meters long, and if there is enough time for Jingele, Thunder prefers large warships.

The white spray of the waves was like a white apron around the hull, and each junior battleship needed at least twenty sailors to keep all functions fully operational, including two sailors per white crystal cannon.

Thunder is riding on the "Alice".

This was the first time this group of sailors had left the shore, and if he was there, if he could not help in any way, at least the sailors would not be too panicked.

They did not bring fishing nets with them on this voyage, and Lei Ming mainly wanted to take three junior warships around the inland sea to determine the future cruising route.

If he encounters other fishing boats, he is ready to expel them, and if one of them doesn't know what to do, then sink it!

Thunder felt the need to demonstrate real naval tactics, and the goblins soon realized that firepower was more important than quantity, and that the White Crystal cannon was more ferocious on the side of the ship than on the bow.

Lei Ming stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, and now there were nearly two hundred people on the three ships combined, wearing neat leather armor over their respective sailor suits, and the operation was not very skilled, but they also did it one by one.

Who makes the pay good, if they lose this job, I'm afraid they will all regret it.

Three ships, starting with the "Alice", followed by the "Karina" and the "Whisper", in a "pin" shape.

Blue skies, clear waters, and a gentle spring breeze blowing through your face. Seabirds are speeding across the sea.

In particular, a vicious-looking long-beaked seabird, even a fishman who hunts for food, plunges headlong into the water when it dives, and when it comes out of the water, the beak of the bird already has the carcass of a fishman in its mouth.

It's a beautiful and peaceful environment. It should be a very happy cruise, but the destined encounter and collision always come so suddenly.

It can only be said that this inland sea is too small, and the three small ships of Thunder Roar encountered the large fleet of goblin merchant Qiu Qiuen more than an hour after they set off.

The large freighters of Qiuqiuen were so conspicuous that they splashed white waves several times the size of frigates.

The lookout on the "Alice" stands on a high ground and can see clearly. He shouted loudly: "My lord, there is a large fleet! There are nearly ten large ships!"

The lookout was very emotional, and it was very unpleasant to encounter other fleets on the surface, and if they encountered pirates, it was far more terrible than a natural storm.

Thunder lifted the spirit and looked at the past, it was ten big ships!

Much larger than his three ships.

At this moment, Lei Ming's keen eyes saw that the opposite fleet had changed formation, and they had already been discovered by the opposite fleet.

The frigates scattered on the sides of the fishing boats blocked the fishing boats and drove towards them.

"Turn!"

Lei Ming is not panicking, it is still far away, and there is still a lot of room for operation.

As soon as he gave the order, the helmsman quickly turned the rudder. In addition, sailors waved flags on the "Karina" and "Alice" to convey thunderous commands.

The three thundering ships pulled in a straight line and sailed sideways.

"Shoot into the sky to warn them!"

With a wave of thunder, the gunner opened fire.

These gunners had only been practicing for a long time, and although they found it easy to operate the White Crystal Cannon, they were still nervous because of the ships coming towards them.

They, under the command of Thunder, began the shelling of three steps.

"Aim!"

"Fixed!"

"Launch!"

The barrel is pointed in mid-air, and after it is fixed, it is shot into the sky.

Several beams of energy exploded in the distance in mid-air.

The other two did not open fire.

Thunder was just warning the other party, and Qiu Qiuen had already given the order to sink.

A round of test firing. Thunder had seen a large number of white beams coming in their direction, because it was too far away, and they were sailing sideways at full speed, and all the shells that had been tested exploded in the waters behind Thunder and their ship.

The white waves are raging and rolling. Even the thunder felt the impact of the waves.

Lei Ming's eyes were cold, and the five frigates on the opposite side were already accelerating, and the accuracy of the shelling was very poor.

"Full speed ahead and try to keep the distance!"

"The gunner aims, ready to fire. ”

Thunder quickly gave the order to stabilize the sailors who were nervous because of the enemy's shelling.

Lei Ming knows it well. In naval warfare, the flank is the most effective against the enemy, don't look at the side of the enemy, the exposed target is much larger than the bow of the ship against the enemy, in fact, in naval warfare is not calculated like this, when long-distance shelling, whether it is the side or the bow of the enemy, it is all a small black spot in the enemy's view.

The advantage of the flank against the enemy is that the cannon is stable, the helmsman only needs to operate the ship to drive forward with all his strength, and there is no need to adjust the orientation of the bow, and Thunder Ming puts all the white crystal cannons on the side, not only to reduce the shock, but also to be able to pour fire to the fullest during the shelling.

The five frigates on the opposite side sailed side by side, and since it was a long-range shelling, it was enough to aim in that direction.

Thunder ordered the sails that were blocking the view to be put away.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

When the six Baijing cannons fired at the same time, the movement was very loud, the sound of the shelling shook the ears, and the hull shook violently, but fortunately, the hull of the "Damaha type" was fat and the deck was wide, and this shock only shook from side to side a few times before stopping.

The other two ships also fired at the same time, and the sailors all knew very well that this was a very critical time, and if the ship was damaged by the other side, they would definitely end up at the bottom of the sea, and they had to fight hard in order to survive.

"Spread out!"

On the other side, Qiu Qiuen roared loudly, he didn't expect that the three small fishing boats on the opposite side were so powerful, which made him can't believe his eyes, he rushed over so unscrupulously, just to bully the small fishing boats with weak firepower.

In particular, Thundering's fleet sailed sideways, and to Qiu Qiu-eun, it seemed like he was running for his life in a panic, and he barely thought that his opponent would fight back.

More than a dozen white beams of light frightened him to the point of turning pale, and the five frigates on his side firing at the same time were not as fierce as the fire of the three small fishing boats, which once again washed away his inner cognition.

"Boom!"

Qiuqiu'en shook under his feet, and the frigate he was riding on shook violently, causing him to fall unsteadily on the deck, and the scepter in his hand also fell to the side, and before he fell, he seemed to see a beam of energy go away and hit his frigate directly! )
