While the air power of the two sides fought fiercely, many sea beasts from both sides also began to clash under the sea, but because these battles took place under the sea, most people could not see them, and only the occasional blood gushing out from under the sea surface proved that the battle under the sea surface was equally fierce and cruel.

And the most powerful battle, of course, is still the big duel between the two ironclad fleets on the sea, the huge ships as huge as steel hills and the thick cannon barrels on them, no matter who sees it, they will feel extremely visually impactful.

Among them, the more than 50 ironclad ships on the side of the Hanhai Empire, in terms of size, seem to have reached the standard of the Qiulong-class battleships on the side of the Qinglong Empire, maybe the Hanhai Empire thinks that the size of the battleship is strong!

Because they were all large-sized battleships, the battleships of the Hanhai Empire were lined up in a horizontal row, so that the main guns could fire salvos at the same time and maximize the firepower advantage.

The battleships of the Blue Dragon Empire were divided into two queues, one of which was a horizontal column composed of Qiulong-class battleships and Jiaolong-class heavy cruisers, and the other was a rapid reaction fleet composed of Python-class destroyers, cruising on the side of the main fleet, and only launched a surprise attack after finding the fighters.

As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, the ironclad ships on the side of the Qinglong Empire, relying on the better performance of their own artillery, launched an attack first, at this time, the distance between the main fleets of the two sides was at least about ten kilometers, and the shells fired by the naval guns took seven or eight seconds to end the flight and hit the target.

Because the distance is very long, there are not many shells that can successfully hit the enemy ship in the end, in Liu Lin's observation, the first round of salvo fire, most of the final landing points of the shells are at least a few hundred meters away from the enemy ship, only two of the shells were exploded less than a meter away from the enemy ship, it is considered a close miss, but I don't know if it has succeeded in injuring the enemy ship, after all, these ironclad ships of the Hanhai Empire look at the equipment is also quite thick.

To Liu Lin's surprise, the opponent's fleet quickly returned fire, although most of the shells were powerless to fall when they were still one or two kilometers away from their own battleships, but there were still a few shells that fell only a few dozen meters away from their own battleships.

Obviously, for the use of various extraordinary powers such as internal force and mana to forcefully enhance the range of artillery, the Hanhai Empire, as an old fierce beast empire, does have a sufficient number of extraordinary masters to do this.

However, the performance of the opponent's artillery itself is too poor, and this distance is estimated to be the limit range of the opponent's artillery, so Liu Lin immediately ordered his own fleet to retreat while fighting, and to open a little distance from the opposite side, so that the opponent has no chance to fight back.

I have to say that Liu Lin's move was very insidious, and sure enough, as the fleet of the Blue Dragon Empire began to retreat while fighting, the fleet of the Hanhai Empire on the opposite side suddenly became anxious, and immediately chased after those enemy ships at full speed.

It's a pity that the battleships of the Qinglong Empire now have their own power systems, as well as various aquatic beasts as external power, and their speed and flexibility are much higher than those of the Hanhai Empire's warships.

In the second round of salvo fire, the Qinglong Empire successfully targeted one of the enemy ships, and this cannon hit the one that hit the head on the opposite side, which was marked by Liu Lin as the bow position of the No. 1 battleship, and the cannonball drilled a large hole in its bow deck, and then there was a violent explosion in it, which caused serious damage to its bow, and after a large amount of seawater poured in, its speed also dropped greatly, and its No. 1 turret located in the bow of the ship seemed to be damaged in the explosion, could not turn, which directly caused the battleship to lose a quarter of its firepower.

And with the serious drop in its speed, many warships of the Blue Dragon Empire have aimed their guns at this unlucky bastard, after all, the hit rate of hitting such a slow-moving target will definitely be higher!

At this moment, the battleship of the Hanhai Empire quickly entered the countdown to sinking, only to see that in the third round of salvo fire, dozens of shells were bombarded by its concentrated fire, three of which successfully hit its hull, one of which hit the waist of the battleship, blasting a large hole in it, and one hit its aft deck, directly overturning a turret in the stern of its ship.

The last shell actually hit its bridge command room, and this battleship happened to be the command ship of Admiral Begta, the commander-in-chief of the fleet of the Hanhai Empire. When the shell hit, Begta and a dozen of his staff officers were discussing how to reverse the embarrassing situation in which the fleet could not catch up with the enemy fleet.

As a result, before they could come up with a result, the shell directly smashed through the weak armor of the bridge command room, crossed the command room, and then fell on the other deck and exploded violently.

When the explosion stopped, one of the surviving staff officers struggled to get up from the rubble and found that the head of the family had already died, and his upper body had been directly hit by the 400 mm shell, and it had turned into a pile of minced meat, leaving only a pair of calves intact.

To say that this Begta is indeed unlucky, the main cannon of the Dragon-class battleship of the Blue Dragon Empire, it is a terrifying killing weapon that even a beast king level beast can hit hard, and the cultivation is only a congenital nine major perfections of Begta, as a human being, its own physical strength is not as good as that of a level of fierce beasts! In the case of being directly hit by such a large-caliber shell, wouldn't you die neatly!

And Liu Lin didn't know at this time that in the round of salvo just now, his side actually succeeded in killing the enemy's fleet commander in seconds.

At this time, she was feeling a little annoyed by her own defeat on the battlefield under the sea, this Hanhai Empire deserved to be an old maritime power, there were many of these various aquatic beasts, and under the huge numerical advantage, her own war beast troops were quickly suppressed and retreated.

Liu Lin thought to himself, after going back this time, he would have to let Dr. Zhang find a way to transform a powerful sea war beast to enhance his own combat power in this regard.

And now, Liu Lin can only let those war beasts that were originally responsible for towing their own warships also go out one after another to support the friendly forces in front and stabilize the battle line.

As a result, the speed of the battleships of the Qinglong Empire was also greatly reduced, and they were soon caught up by the fleet of the Hanhai Empire, and the two sides began to bombard each other with naval guns, which made the battleships of the Qinglong Empire also begin to show some damage.

However, relying on the previous rounds of salvos, the Qinglong Empire's side had actually successfully damaged several enemy ships, especially the No. 1 battleship that was set on fire, because the damage was too serious, it had already begun to capsize slowly at this time, and the Hanhai Empire soldiers on it could only take advantage of the fact that the battleship had not completely sunk before it was completely sunk, and they all evacuated in lifeboats.

Although the other five battleships were not as miserable as this one, their speed and firepower were also seriously weakened, and then in the next few rounds of bombardment, they quickly followed in the footsteps of the No. 1 battleship and began to sink slowly.

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy warships were completely attracted by the firepower of their own main fleet, the destroyers of the Qinglong Empire also began to move, only to see these small and fast destroyers quickly approaching the fleet of the Hanhai Empire from both sides, and until they were only seven or eight kilometers away, the warships of the Hanhai Empire sensed the threat, and several of the warships began to fire towards it, trying to force it back.

It's a pity that the artillery of the Hanhai Empire is originally poor, and the destroyers of the Qinglong Empire are small in size, and in the face of the shells from the other side, they often avoid them with twists, and then some destroyers began to release smoke, so that they were quickly hidden in the dense smoke, so that the enemy ship's artillery was even more impossible to aim, and there was no hit for a long time.

This result made the gunners on the side of the Hanhai Empire feel very frustrated, and the most important thing is that at this time, Admiral Sassen, who had just taken over the command position of Begta, made a wrong decision.

He felt that these small enemy ships would not pose much threat to his own battleships, after all, these enemy ships were limited in size, and the caliber of the naval guns loaded on them was very small, and it was estimated that even if his battleships stood there and did not move and let the other side fight, it would be difficult for the other side to break through the defense.

As a result, with the connivance of Admiral Sassen, the thirty python-class destroyers of the Blue Dragon Empire soon approached about four kilometers away from the main fleet of the Hanhai Empire.

And this distance is already within the range of the Blue Dragon Empire's torpedo attack.

As a result, after these destroyers had determined their respective targets, they released one after another torpedoes with a caliber of more than 500 millimeters.

These torpedoes, unlike the battleship guns that thundered when fired, they seemed to be very quiet and did not make any major movements when they were launched under the water.

This once again paralyzed the commanders of the warships of the Hanhai Empire, making them think that this small boat was indeed no threat to their own thickly armored battleships, and they all concentrated on directing their own naval guns to continuously fire at the enemy ships on the opposite side, trying to be the lucky ones who were the first to sink the enemy's capital ship.

It's a pity that the Hanhai Empire's artillery performance is too poor, so they have fired several salvos, and they only caused some minor damage to two of the enemy ships, and it looks like they have to work hard to sink one of the capital ships.

However, what the commanders of the Hanhai Empire's warships didn't know was that they were running out of time, because the torpedo fired by the Python-class destroyer had already quietly approached from under the sea to only a few hundred meters away from their battleship.

In the end, it was a soldier of the Hanhai Empire who had a better eyesight and found these 'iron rods' that were quickly approaching his own warships from under the water.

Although he didn't know what these things were, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong and immediately reported the incident to the nearest officer.
