Chapter Seventy-Four: The Crazy Snow Peak
The battleship hit by the Snow Peak broke directly into two pieces from the impact position, and the internal structure of the hull was directly exposed to the vacuum environment.
However, the Snow Peak did not stop because of the impact, and the original super speed only slowed down slightly, and once again passed through the body under the vigorous thrust provided by the engine, and the speed returned to the speed before the impact in a few seconds.
The bow armor damaged by the impact of the Snow Peak was quickly recovered by the Snow Peak to the warehouse in the process of the battleship speeding up again, and the original vacant position was filled by armor from other places, and the bow was restored to the state before the impact.
It's just that some less important parts of the Snow Peak's hull are missing part of the outer armor, revealing the internal structural layer.
But in the case of the Snow Peak's ultra-high speed, there is no need to worry that the enemy will hit these parts with one shot.
And Wang Zongsheng, as an old driver with more than ten years of mercenary experience, was only in a trance and reacted immediately.
The only way he could think of dealing with such a strange attack was to limit the speed of the Snowpeak, as long as the Snowpeak didn't have enough speed, no matter how strong her bow was, it wouldn't be able to penetrate the armor of her own ships.
"Attention all ships, close the safety distance between them...... Do not leave enough acceleration distance for enemy ships. ”
Of course, this method can effectively reduce the impact intensity of the Xuefeng, but Wang Zongsheng forgot that the Xuefeng can not only hit, but also carry two main guns and a dozen secondary guns on her hull.
After discovering that the enemy's formation had changed, Qi Yiming did not give up the attack method he was executing.
Instead, all the guns were concentrated in the bow position.
With only 5km left from the next target ship, all gun crews opened fire at the same time.
At this time, the Snow Peak didn't care about hitting the enemy ship at all, as long as it could hit the enemy ship and weaken the enemy ship's armor layer to the greatest extent, it had already achieved its goal.
Before the impact of the Snow Peak, the armor of the enemy ship facing the side of the Snow Peak had been beaten to pieces by a round of main gun attacks, so when it hit again, the Snow Peak did not lose much kinetic energy, and the entire battleship passed directly through its body.
Wang Zongsheng really didn't expect the Xuefeng to do this, and the defusing trick he had just used made him uncomfortable like hitting cotton.
Seeing that the Xuefeng rushed directly to his ship after ramming the two destroyers, Wang Zongsheng was a little panicked.
"Quick...... Evade enemy ship ......"
However, no matter how the captain maneuvers the warship to evade, the Snow Peak always locked on to their ship.
Wang Zongsheng looked helplessly at the Xuefeng that rushed towards him: "Everyone, be prepared for impact...... The ships are moving closer to me......"
Wang Zongsheng did not give the order to abandon the ship, after all, compared with the Xuefeng, his ship was a cruiser, and it was much larger than the destroyer.
Even if it was a collision, the Snow Peak would open a big hole in the hull at most, and it would definitely not be possible to penetrate through the body like ramming a destroyer.
The problem is that although the bow of the Snow Peak is a ramming angle formed by the transformation of the Heavy Hammer, the Heavy Hammer has not lost the function of firing torpedoes.
Just as the Xuefeng was about to ram Wang Zongsheng's cruiser, her bow armor suddenly parted, revealing two swarthy torpedo tubes.
Two heavy torpedoes pierced the cruiser's hull under Wang Zongsheng's frightened eyes.
After a violent flash, a large hole appeared on the port side of Wang Zongsheng's ship that was large enough to accommodate the bow of the Xuefeng just before the impact of the Xuefeng.
Immediately after that, all the guns of the Snow Peak fired directly at the hole in the cruiser's hull, and fired a wave of dense firepower.
Once again, the internal structure of the cruiser was destroyed, and now Ziwang Zongsheng did not even have the opportunity to abandon the ship.
I saw that the Snow Peak increased its horsepower and followed the dense barrage into the hull of the cruiser, and then the bow rushed out from the starboard side of the cruiser.
Just ten minutes into the battle, the flagship of the mercenary fleet was passed by the Snow Peak, which had been transformed into a super torpedo.
The flagship was sunk, and even if everyone was ready to suffer heavy losses, it was undoubtedly a slap in the head.
Wang Zongsheng did not die with the fall of the ship, and at the last moment, he was dragged by his adjutant into the rescue pod, and escaped from the cruiser before the internal explosion of the battleship due to energy disorder.
The mercenary fleet, temporarily out of command, fell into disarray.
Some captains were busy directing their subordinates to rescue the rescue pods scattered around the battlefield, and some captains were directly frightened by the Xuefeng's fighting method of using themselves as weapons, and were turning the bow of the ship to prepare to flee the battlefield.
Seeing that the enemy army in front of the Snow Peak had been defeated by Qi Yiming, Wang Shuhua and the others cheered directly in the fleet channel.
But how could Wang Zongsheng, who had pressed everything for this mission, give up so easily.
If he died, forget it, now that the rescue pod has been rescued by a friendly ship, the battle must continue no matter what.
So far in the battle, Wang Zongsheng has been able to determine that no matter whether the intelligence is wrong or not, the Xuefeng in front of him is definitely the ancient warship that Mao Qiming named to capture.
After Wang Zongsheng boarded the friendly ship, he naturally took over the command of the fleet again.
"Attention ships, I am Wang Zongsheng...... The left and right flanks gave up outflanking ...... "Wang Zongsheng didn't take Wang Shuhua and their warships seriously, and now he only wants to take the Xuefeng that is close at hand.
But in his hurry, he made a mistake that a commander should not make, that is, underestimating the enemy.
No matter what Wang Shuhua's combat power is, but the Expedition is also a cruiser, and if it is ignored like this, it will be personally offended.
Wang Shuhua is not a mediocre talent, on the contrary, his own quality is definitely not weaker than Qi Yiming.
If it weren't for Qi Yiming's possession of the Snow Peak, it would not be certain who would have died if the two of them had a fight.
And Qi Yiming has not forgotten that he is not alone, he is also a person with a team.
After discovering that he had indeed attracted all the attention of the mercenary fleet, Qi Yiming instead gave up the attack method of ramming the enemy ship with the Snow Peak, and instead tried to distance himself from the enemy ship and return to the rhythm of long-distance artillery battles.
"Brother Wang, I have attracted most of their attention...... You take the Salvation Trumpet and follow the enemy's ass to gather wool, as much as you can, and be careful not to be too greedy. ”
In fact, there is no need for Qi Yiming to remind him, Wang Shuhua has already started the wool plan.
Wang Shuhua was not in a hurry, and calmly commanded the fleet to follow behind the mercenary fleet, starting to roll call one by one from near to far, from small to large.
His goal is clear, he does not require sinking enemy ships, as long as the opponent is incapacitated.
The combined combat power of the four battleships, the Expedition, the Yuanwang, the Yuanhang, and the Redemption, is not weaker than Qi Yiming's Xuefeng, but the hit rate is lower.
But these ships set fire to one target, and the barrage was enough for a destroyer-class battleship to drink a pot.
By the time Wang Zongsheng found out that he had been shaved wool, Wang Shuhua and the others had successfully paralyzed dozens of enemy ships.
After 20 minutes of fighting, the mercenary fleet, which had been strong in combat, was now reduced to 1 cruiser, 8 destroyers and 5 frigates.
The huge losses of the fleet made Wang Zongsheng, who was stunned, suddenly sober up, but it was too late.
