Chapter 32: The Storm of the Ming Yuan (5)

No matter what the others thought, not a single moment before the demon actually appeared in front of them. It is only a little more than 1,000 meters, a distance that can be seen even above the sea, a distance that can be seen by a person who has not undergone any cultivation, densely packed, as if it is connected with the sea and the sky, as if there is an extra layer of demons on top of the sea.

"Squad leader, is this the one you are talking about?" asked Li Yuanchan as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. For a saint like them, they can see mosquitoes from a distance of a thousand meters, and they can see demons very clearly. This was the first time they had really seen the demon, and what they had seen before were all the sights and pictures sent back by the scouts, and the size of them naturally could not have a very intuitive image, but now, they finally saw it clearly. These demons have many different races, some are big, some are small, the big ones are like small mountains, and the small ones are the size of goats, but in any case, their speed is almost the same, and there is not much difference, think about it, they have run more than a thousand kilometers, sleepless day and night, and those who can't keep up with the speed are naturally eliminated. The shape of the demon is also strange, with two heads, three heads, and at most only one head, two hands, four legs, and a dozen legs, and so on.

"It's disgusting!" Li Yuancan added, after all, compared to the demons seen from the scenes and pictures, the realistic layout is always not very impressive.

Just as they sighed, a lot of magical attacks came down from the sky. There are also a lot of spear-like things that also fall from the sky, and the entire protective shield is colorful and very beautiful. The sound of explosions kept ringing outside, and at this time, everyone knew that this was not the time to sigh, and their momentary distraction might have killed them, if there were no protective measures.

"Change the curved shot to a direct shot, aim at the target, shoot directly!" the squad leader quickly ordered.

Artillery can be divided into direct-fire artillery and curved artillery. There are usually many differences between countries that distinguish between the two types of artillery. Some are divided by 45 degree angles, some are divided by 30 degrees, and the angles above this belong to curved artillery. Below this angle belonged to direct-fire artillery. And both have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of curved guns is that they can hit places that cannot be seen, but after they are fired, the shells fly for a long time, and whether they hit the target or not still need to be confirmed by special people; You can see it clearly if you hit it at a glance. And their weakness is also very obvious, that is, they can only hit the target in front, and they are powerless against the target behind, and later in order to facilitate the switch between direct and curved fire, there are artillery that can shoot both directly and curved, plus thick howitzers.

With the squad leader's order, Hu Yuanxing quickly lowered the muzzle of the cannon, and directly used the direct sight to aim at a huge demon a thousand meters away.

"The shells are ready. Li Yuanchan roared several times in a row. In this place full of magic crystal cannons, the sound is constant. Sometimes it may not be possible for people to hear it after yelling directly, so they can only keep shouting.

Hu Yuanxing aimed the sight at the huge demon, only to see that the sight continued to move in an irregular way with the waves of the ship moving forward on the sea, and the huge demon kept beating on the crosshair, high for a while and low for a while, it was difficult to calm down, in a short calm time, just a short moment, Hu Yuanxing fired directly, only to hear "Boom!" With a bang, the magic crystal cannon sounded, Hu Yuanxing's eyes did not leave the sight, he was still watching the target with the sight, after all, it was still a little small to see the target with human eyesight, and there were many demons, as long as he raised his head, it would not take a long time from searching to finding the target, and during this time, whether the magic crystal cannon could hit the target or not had already been decided. The moment the shell left the muzzle, a huge white mist formed at the muzzle, which temporarily obscured the front, but suddenly dispersed again, and what was seen from the sight was a cloud of white fog, and then dispersed, this time was very short. When everything was clear, Hu Yuanxing could no longer see the target. He looked left and right with his sight again, and he was relieved that his target was indeed dead, and that it was already covered by a sea of fire.

Aiming at a moving target on a ship is a dynamic aim, and aiming in this state can easily lead to mistakes for three reasons. One is the movement of the target, in a short period of time the target usually only moves in one direction, such as left, right, forward or backward, in the process of moving forward and backward can be regarded as stationary, but the corresponding distance needs to be adjusted, and in the process of moving left to right, there needs to be a corresponding amount of advance. There are many algorithms for this advance, and a very simple way is to delineate the division in the sight, and then see how many divisions the target has moved in a certain period of time, and then directly use that division as the advance amount, use it to aim, and keep chasing the target with the weapon, so that it is okay. The second influence is the influence of the boat, the movement of the ship, the fluctuation of the waves, these external factors will make these aiming difficult, and even often there will be no target situation, this factor is the most difficult to overcome and use, because they are the most irregular can be said, of course, after a lot of training, you can really master this technique. The last one is, of course, the human factor, the shooter's shooting skills and long-term shooting is also a very huge test for the shooter, whether they are gods or humans, their state also directly determines the effect of shooting. This is the power of the weapon, it doesn't matter if it's a god or a human, it only needs to have the corresponding skills, even if it's an ordinary person, you can let him slaughter the god.

"Yes, brother, a direct hit, a starter hit, a hundred shots!" said the squad leader. He didn't see which demon Hu Yuanxing was fighting, and there was no way to know which demon it was, after all, there were too many demons in front of him. But the demons in the small row in front of them had fallen, and there they were still in a sea of fire. Don't even think about it, it's definitely a hit.

"Team leader, how do you know that I hit?" Taking advantage of the interval between reloading, Hu Yuanxing asked, this is really strange, and he doesn't know which one he is aiming at, how can he know whether he hits or doesn't hit? This is not a target, just hit it.

"Don't you see? There was a row of bullets in front of him, and no matter if he hit or not, a large number of demons fell. This is an indisputable fact. Even if you didn't hit, now I'll hit you, you know, it's a very morale-boosting thing!" the squad leader's eyes shone with the cunning peculiar to the old peasants in the village.

The others were really speechless, so that's okay? Hu Yuanxing raised his head and looked at the location of those demons in the distance. I saw that there was a mixture of bullet fog and water mist, and the demons were all hidden behind, but this situation only lasted for more than ten seconds, and another group of demons rushed out, and the number did not seem to have decreased, it was still so much, still running. And because of the constant flow of blood on the surface of the sea, their eyes are filled with more blood. They were very angry about the Navy's behavior. Even this kind of affection has filled their little heads, and there is no room for other feelings. So they look even more ferocious.

At this time, not only these low-level demons have been filled with this kind of emotion, but even those high-level demons have not avoided such a fate, so that the expeditionary force has been bombarded for a long time, and they have never seen a shadow, this kind of battle makes them feel very aggrieved, and now they finally see the warship of the expeditionary force, and the distance is very close, close enough to allow their magic to directly attack the warship, so close that it seems that as long as they rush forward a little distance, they can tear the expeditionary force's warship to pieces, how can these not make them excited?

"Roar!"

"Whew!"

The unique language of low-level demons continued to come out from the demon group, one after another, and for a while, the whole world was filled with this kind of voice, so that the soldiers of the expeditionary force more than a thousand meters away had a lot less ease on their faces, and a lot more rigor, it can be imagined that even such a fishing-style battle is not very easy to fight!

On the command ship of the navy, Sun Gongfeng and Haixing were also very worried when they watched such a scene, if it weren't for the fact that they had a real understanding of their own warship, they were really worried that the demon would be able to smash the battleship with these few roars.

"Does this seem too close?" Sun Gongfeng said cautiously, his eyes still staring at the situation on the screen, from which they could clearly see every hair of the entire demon.

"It seems to be a little closer, let's see the effect first, if it doesn't work, maybe it needs to be closer, if you can, try it a little farther away. Hai Xing said, his heart almost reached the top of his chest, he was older, and his endurance had dropped a lot, you must know that when he was young, he was famous for not being afraid of the sky and the earth.

"I can only take a look first, otherwise, the mission will not be completed, and the fleet will be lost, and the commander will definitely not let the two of us go. Sun Gongfeng sighed, he was quite clear about Kong Ming's character now.

"The commander can't let it go, but secondly, the first thing is to ensure that the personnel will not be too damaged on the basis of completing the task. Hai Xingxin said with a sense of jealousy, he was very clear about Kong Ming's attitude towards employing people, after all, he was a typical person.

"Report to the Commander, according to the intelligence, most of the demons are coming this way, and only a few have deviated from our direction and gone in other directions. "A staff officer reported at this time that this was a very timely news, and this news made both of them feel like they were burdened, although it was not 100% to attract those demons, but most of them were attracted to it, which was a very good result.

They didn't expect it wrong, in fact, Kong Ming was quite sure of their approach, a thousand meters, it can't be closer, if it gets closer, it can make the enemy's magic blow up the shield, at that time, the loss of the expeditionary force is very large, for Kong Ming, he would rather lose a Ming Yuan Island than kill more than a million people in the entire navy. Because if Mingyuan Island is lost, it can be recaptured, but once the entire navy is killed, then the loss of more than one million people. I don't know how long it will take to make up for it, not to mention that the navy is a technical branch, and those invisible losses are even more difficult to make up.

"I don't care what the outcome is. Even if this mission fails, even if the ship is destroyed, you must ensure that the navy comes back alive. Kong Ming said. His words also reached the ears of Sun Gongfeng and Haixing directly through the screen.

They didn't expect that the navy would be so heavy in Kong Ming's mind, and what they didn't expect was that Kong Ming would rather fail the mission and let the navy survive.

"Yes, Commander, we'll bring the Navy back in order. Sun Gongfeng replied.

"You can control this process yourself. Keep fighting! Warriors grow up in a sea of blood. Calm water in the excellent sailor can not go out. Kong Ming said.

"It looks like we're going to step up the attack, there are too many demons, so I'm a little careless. will cause some damage to our personnel. Sun Gongfeng said.

At this time, the battlefield had already been turned upside down, and because it was too close, the direct fire of the magic crystal cannon could only continuously kill the demons in front. But it can't stop the demons behind from coming in a steady stream. Even more can't stop the attack of those demonic magic. At this time, the difference between a steel battleship and a wooden battleship is reflected. Wooden battleships can't carve more magic arrays due to the material itself, the magic protection is really not too strong, after withstanding many magic attacks, there is already a tendency to crumble, and their hulls are not too strong, coupled with their backward technology. Another point is that the entire fleet is now open diagonally, and only in this way can we keep enough magic crystal cannons and enough personnel on the front of the demon attack. In this way, these wooden warships can only barely maintain a level with the demons in terms of speed, and if they are larger, it will really affect the combat effectiveness of the people on board, and these situations make the warriors fighting on these ships live a life of fear.

"Squad leader, you see, the No. 109 warship in front of us seems to be about to fall apart!" Li Yuancan's eyes were very sharp, he pointed in one direction, and the others looked in the direction he pointed, and more than four hundred meters on the right front side of their ship, sure enough, he saw a wooden warship more than two hundred meters long, at this time, the magic cover was already crumbling, constantly flashing with bright light, I believe it would not be long before it exploded directly, the personnel on the ship, except for a few magicians who were maintaining the operation of the magic array, the others were orderly through the magic teleportation array to withdraw to other warships.

Seeing the ship like this, all the demons who were attacking it became happy, the roar became louder, and the magic attack became more powerful, and even the demons who were a little farther away next to it also launched magic attacks on the ship.

"Hemp, why are there so many magic attacks at once?" shouted the squad deputy on the side, as if there was a very good friend on that ship, not to worry about his comrades at this time, but also to worry about his friends, but his hands did not stop, and he was still sorting out the shells of the magic crystal cannon.

"Those Wang Ba cakes are beating the rhythm of the water dogs!" Hu Yuanxing fired another shot, turning a huge demon a thousand meters away into a pile of meat pulp, causing the nearby demons and demonic beasts to grab food one after another, which also made the chaos there, but this chaos only lasted for a while, and soon all the demons that rushed up behind were trampled under their feet, and the demon's formation became very neat again.

"Fight a little more, kill these bastards, hey, brother, what are you doing here?" When the squad leader was talking, a group of magicians suddenly came from the side aisle, and they were almost a few steps apart There was a magician like this standing in the gap between the magic crystal cannons, and the squad leader saw that these were all saint-level magicians. Since it's above deck now, there's plenty of space here.

"Shut up and just watch. A stern voice came from next to the squad leader, and the squad leader quickly shrank his head, no longer daring to say anything, he could only keep giving some dispensable orders to the three people in the class, as if he was working. The man who came was the captain of their team, a god.

At this time, the captain didn't pay attention to the subordinates in front of him, looking at the No. 109 warship was drifting, he also had a sad feeling in his heart, although he was in a steel warship, but this only showed that their defense was relatively better, but once those wooden warships were defeated, then the enemy could easily knock out their defenses, he couldn't understand why the commander let these wooden warships join this battle of life and death, to know their weaknesses, the command was clearAt this time, he had some annoyance in his heart. Only then did he let the deputy captain command for him, and he came down for a walk, but at this time, a large number of magicians emerged from the teleportation array, these are the magicians of the Marine Army, and they are not under the command of the navy, what are they doing?

"Sixth, what do you say the commander wants these wooden warships to do? This thing is slow, broken, and old, even if it is the latest one, it is more than one grade worse than these steel warships of ours, isn't this numb for these people of ours to send to death?"

"The above thoughts, where do we small squad leaders know, captain, you just ask the other brothers. The sixth squad leader said. There are some habits in the army, that is, the squad leader of a team, from the first to the line, and when he arrives, he is called Lao Ji, and Hu Yuanxing's class is the sixth class, so in a team, ordinary people call him Lao Liu, but few people remember his real name.

"Slippery head, you speak here, the commander won't eat you. What is there to be afraid of?" Seeing that the sixth squad leader was playing officially, the captain was even more unhappy.

"Come on, captain, don't embarrass our squad leader, just his head, if he thinks of something, it's not what the commander wants to want, you have to ask me about this thing!" Li Yuancan said smugly on the side, he had a clear opinion about the captain's question.

"Oh, so what do you think the commander wants these wooden warships to do?" said the captain angrily, wanting to ask a question, but a second or five boy said a word, and his mood was even worse.

"I can't figure it out, and I don't know how you became a god. Li Yuancan said sarcastically, the captain's face at this time was even more ugly, this Erwuzai, give him a little color, and he also went to open a dyeing room.

"Now it's the coalition of the entire continent, that is to say, at this time, it is the money and materials of the entire continent that are being transported to our expeditionary force, captain, you don't want to think about it, if these wooden warships are here, the commander asks them to build steel warships, are they willing, you must know that in the minds of those emperors, if they can give less, they will give less, I think if there is no loss, they will not give a single child, it just happens, these warships are all wooden, and they can't adapt to future battles, it is better to take advantage of this time to let the demons finish it, so that the steel warships will soon be popularized to all ships, why not do such a good thing." Anyway, you don't have to pay for it yourself, don't you see that the commander has even thought about the way back for those people?" Li Yuancan said as he pointed to the No. 109 battleship, and sure enough, at this time, the people on the battleship had already been withdrawn, except for a protective shield that was still running with a small magic array, everything else that could be taken away was taken away.

At this time, a huge meteorite with fire fell from the sky, directly smashing the No. 109 battleship into a hole, and the magic array on the ship was directly shattered, and the fire directly burned the entire ship at once. When the demons in the distance saw it, they became even more excited, and roared all over the world.

"See, Captain, our expeditionary force is going to add another steel battleship. (To be continued......)
