However, because they found it too late, before the soldier could finish reporting, three of the torpedoes had already smashed heavily on the hull, and then a violent explosion occurred, and the waves were blown up dozens of meters high, causing the huge ironclad battleship to be blown up and down.

The most terrifying thing is that two huge holes were blown out of its hull, and only the bow of the ship was only blown open by a small crack.

A large amount of seawater soon poured into the two large holes and a crack, and as the battleship continued to move at high speed, the raging sea water continued to wash away, and the holes continued to tear and grow.

Seeing this scene, the captain of this battleship immediately asked the sea beast responsible for towing the battleship to reduce its forward speed, and at the same time asked his subordinates to hurry up and plug those holes, as for letting the battleship completely stop and repair it slowly, he didn't dare, because once his battleship completely stopped, it would definitely become the target of the opponent's battleship and would be sunk in minutes.

And this wave of torpedo attacks, it was not only his battleship that was hit, but the other battleships in front and behind him were soon hit by those torpedoes, making a huge explosion.

One of the battleships seemed to have exploded in the ammunition depot, and after a terrible loud noise, its battleship was actually blown into two, and its bow was blown up directly from the battleship with two turrets, and then the seriously damaged battleship had no time to rescue at all, and directly began to capsize quickly into the water, and a battleship in the rear did not have time to slow down, and the bow was scratched by it, and there was also a lot of damage, resulting in its speed having to be greatly reduced, and it began to be repaired to the damaged bow.

At this time, the No. 6 ship, which was hit by three torpedoes at the beginning, although the crew on it was struggling to rescue it, but because the hole was too big, it could not be blocked in a short time.

With the continuous influx of seawater, the hull of this battleship is also tilted towards the damaged left side, which in addition to making the crew on it accidentally fall because of the already tilted deck between walks, the main guns of this battleship can not shoot, after all, under the tilt of the hull, the muzzle of this gun is facing the sea, and this continued cannon will only hit the sea!

In order to restore the balance of the battleship, the captain of the six battleships had to order the other side of the battleship to start filling the other side with water as well.

However, before he could complete the filling of the battleship, several shells hit its hull, blowing up the superstructure of the battleship that could not be fired back, and the crew suffered heavy losses, and the captain was also killed directly in the explosion, causing the battleship to soon lose its unified command, and after being hit by another shot, it began to sink slowly because it was too badly damaged.

After all, the soldiers on the side of the Blue Dragon Empire all knew the strength of those destroyer torpedoes, so when their own destroyers fired torpedoes, they were ready to replenish their guns, so that after these enemy ships were hit by torpedoes, they began to concentrate fire and sink, completely sinking these already damaged battleships.

After this round of blows, eight of the Hanhai Empire's ironclad warships were sunk, and another twelve were damaged to varying degrees.

The destroyer formation of the Blue Dragon Empire did not give the other party more respite, and after releasing the smoke again and temporarily hiding their figures, they found their targets again and fired torpedoes.

Since this is the first wave of attacks, the enemy who has suffered a loss will inevitably be on guard, so these destroyers are also particular when they release torpedoes, deliberately releasing a lot of cross mines, and finally will attack the enemy ships from different angles, making it difficult for those enemy ships to completely dodge even if they want to dodge.

At the same time as those destroyers released their torpedoes, the captains of the Hanhai Empire, who had already tasted the bitterness, unanimously asked the battleships to concentrate fire towards them, and there was smoke obscuring their sight and could not accurately lock the coordinates of the opponent's battleship, so they would carry out a covering bombardment on the place where the smoke was rising, and if they were lucky, they would always be able to hit one or two shots.

It's a pity that this wave of shooting, the battleships of the Hanhai Empire were not very lucky, they didn't hit a single enemy ship after fighting for a long time, and those destroyers of the Qinglong Empire quickly began to retreat after quickly releasing the torpedoes.

And the captains of the Hanhai Empire, who had already had one experience, didn't care about chasing and killing those destroyers anymore at this time, but let their warships start to pay attention to avoiding lightning strikes, and many soldiers were specially arranged to the side of the ship, always keeping an eye on the trail of torpedoes in the sea.

In addition, in order to reduce the chance of being hit by torpedoes, the remaining Hanhai Empire warships began to disperse, instead of silly lining up in a horizontal row like before, so that the torpedoes fired by those destroyers were accurate by a dozen.

However, even though the captains of the Hanhai Empire had made all kinds of preparations, they were still completely dumbfounded when those torpedoes really appeared in their sight, because often there was a row of torpedoes in the east, and there would be a row of torpedoes in the west, so that these warships would eat several mines no matter which way they dodged.

"Shit! These cunning enemies are actually blocked at both ends! ”

As Admiral Sasson spoke, his No. 2 ship was hit by three torpedoes almost simultaneously, and after a series of violent explosions, several large holes were blown out on the left side of his battleship's hull.

Knowing that the badly damaged battleship could no longer be used as a flagship, Sassen didn't bother to let his soldiers do their jobs, so he directly announced the abandonment of the ship, boarded a lifeboat, and rushed to another nearby battleship.

But before Sassen could arrive, the battleship was also hit by several torpedoes, and its hull was blown up and bounced upwards, revealing a large hole in the waist that had been blown out more than two meters in diameter.

Almost at the same time, the No. 2 ship not far behind them was also hit by several high-explosive shells from the enemy ship, and after the violent explosion, the already badly damaged battleship began to sink, and the crew members on it who had not had time to complete it were swept to the bottom of the sea along with the sunken battleship.

Faced with this situation, Admiral Sassen sighed in frustration, and directly ordered his guards to row the lifeboat towards a wooden battleship in the rear, and he could already see that his long-planned operation was a complete failure.

Because since the beginning of the war, we have not been able to sink a single battleship of the other side! More than half of the battleships that were sunk in battle and withdrew from the battle because of serious damage were already on their own, and if they continued to fight, it was not impossible to be completely destroyed by the other side.

In order to preserve some vitality of this ironclad fleet that he had built up with great difficulty, Sassen immediately asked his own soldiers to go and issue a flag for the retreat of the whole army after boarding the wooden battleship.

And those captains who had been beaten out of the psychological shadow by the Blue Dragon Empire's naval fleet, after seeing the flag of the retreat of the whole army issued by the commander-in-chief, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then they simply let the battleship turn around and retreat to the rear.

And Liu Lin saw from the telescope that the enemy began to take the initiative to retreat, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, don't look at your own side in the ironclad duel on the sea, and compete with the other party in the air battlefield, but in the battle under the sea, it is almost impossible to support it, and the reason why it can still be maintained now is because the aquatic beasts she used to drag the battleship before were also sent out to the top.

Fortunately, because of the heavy losses of the ironclad ship formation, the other party could not withstand it and chose to take the initiative to retreat.

The escort formation of the Blue Dragon Empire, which also suffered heavy losses, was also very restrained under Liu Lin's order, and did not choose to pursue, allowing the remaining ironclad ships of the Hanhai Empire to retreat back smoothly.

Soon after the retreat of the Hanhai Empire's army, Mohu and the Lobster King jumped from the sea water to Liu Lin's flagship 'Hidden Dragon'.

These two beast king-level war beasts, as the absolute main force of the battle under the sea just now, were very seriously injured, and the extraordinary battle armor on their bodies seemed to have been completely destroyed, among which Mohu's left arm seemed to have been torn off, and now there was only a small section left, while the lobster king was his right calf was neatly cut off, and a deep wound appeared on his chest. In the humanoid state, this injury looked so serious, one can imagine how exaggerated this wound would be in its beast form.

That is, because Liu Lin fought very well on the sea, he severely damaged the opponent's ironclad ship formation in a short period of time, forcing it to take the initiative to retreat, otherwise, if he continued to fight, Mohu and Lobster King would probably have to give their lives there.

Because according to what the two said, this time on the side of the Hanhai Empire, there were seven beasts of the beast king level alone, and there were more than five hundred beasts of the beast general-level beasts, and in the case of a fierce battle with the Yingzhou Empire, the other party was able to draw so many extraordinary beasts over, it can be seen that this battle is really very important, if it were not for the fact that the battleships of the Qinglong Empire have undergone an upgrade, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved compared to the first generation of warships, I am afraid that this battle will really overturn.

Seeing that these two beast king-level fierce beasts were so seriously injured, Liu Lin asked people to help these two beast king-level fierce beasts over for treatment, and at the same time sent people to search in the sea to see if there was any kind of war beast in the sea that could not return by itself because of the serious injuries.

At the same time, the air troops also began to return one after another, among which the smallest losses were those rough-skinned and thick-skinned black dragon transformation beasts, but even they lost more than a dozen, and most of the rest also had injuries of varying severity.

As for those Flame Sparrows and Divine Fire Crows, they both suffered hundreds of casualties, and even five combat airships were shot down, and as for those fighters who fought for the first time, they also lost more than half.
