Chapter 375: One-sided Naval Battle

Seventy-three Hebrew warships approached the Chinese warship in front of them, and the two sides got closer and closer, and when they were only a few miles away, Daerson on the opposite side was shocked to find that the warship on the opposite side was more than twice as large as theirs.

Not only that, but he saw from the telescope a number of guns mounted on battleships. There were also fully armed men-at-arms, and the weapons used by the soldiers were similar to their muskets, but different.

He was a little shocked, and he couldn't imagine that there was anyone other than their Hebrew people who could make such the same weapon, how could this be possible.

When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly ordered the battleship to speed up, and he visually inspected that the distance between the two fleets was seven to eight miles, and the farthest range that their naval guns could attack was only about five miles.

Only when they get close to a certain distance will their naval guns be able to function.

It's just that, just as his order was given, suddenly, hundreds of battleships in front of them fired in unison, and between the tongues of fire, countless shells pressed towards them.

Seeing this scene, Delson's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly exclaimed and commanded the battleship to dodge, even if he felt in his heart that the artillery on the opposite side could not shoot, he was still full of anxiety.

Unfortunately, as soon as his order was issued, the cannonballs fired from the opposite side suddenly bombarded their battleship group, and several battleships in front were hit by the cannonballs, directly blowing up sawdust, and under the power of the cannonballs, many soldiers were killed and blown away.

The battle was not tragic, this was not over, the artillery on the opposite side was another volley, and in the blink of an eye, the shells bombarded again, and the follow-up artillery firing almost never stopped.

Moreover, the interval between each artillery firing is actually less than three breaths, which makes Delson dumbfounded, and it takes about twenty breaths for each time their artillery is pressed and the dressing is changed.

But the rate of fire of the artillery on the opposite side was nearly ten times that of their artillery, and for this alone, there was no comparison between the two sides. Not to mention, the explosive power of artillery shells falling on battleships is several times more than that of their shells, and the destructive power is even more amazing.

It had only been less than thirty breaths since the start of the battle, and two warships in front of them were directly sunk. The remaining dozen or so battleships were badly damaged.

How can this be fought? Delson, who was still in high spirits just now and felt that he could inflict heavy losses on the enemy on the opposite side, only felt his scalp tingle at this time, and a thick fear welled up in his heart.

He shouted, "Withdraw...... Get back to the harbor and get the harbor batteries ready to meet the enemy......"

He knew that the battleships on his side were not the opponents on the opposite side at all, and he insisted on rushing over, and it was estimated that they had not yet rushed to the range of artillery firing, and they were afraid that they would lose more than half of the battleships.

If he doesn't withdraw at this time, he can only rely on the dozen or so batteries in the port now, after all, the caliber of the artillery there is large, and the firing range can reach about ten miles.

As his order was issued, the stunned warships immediately reacted, and hurriedly wanted to turn the bow to leave, but the speed of turning the bow was still a little slow, and during this period, three more battleships were sunk by the artillery fire on the opposite side.

Delson's flagship was also hit several times by shells and was extremely damaged. He was really scared. I only hope to turn around quickly and escape back to the port before my flagship is sunk.

What's more, as long as you are passively beaten, there is no chance to fight back at all, and there is no way to fight this battle.

After all the battleships had turned around, and two more battleships were lost, Daerson's heart was dripping blood, and he was trembling with anger, but he was helpless.

rushed over violently, but in the end he was beaten and ran back, this face is really embarrassing.

But just when he thought he could escape back to the port, he was horrified to find that after the speed of the battleship on the opposite side increased, it not only bit them tightly, but also narrowed the distance a few points closer.

In terms of speed, the speed of the battleship on the opposite side is probably several times higher than theirs, and as long as the other side is willing, it is estimated that it will be possible to catch up with them in less than two quarters of an hour.

The reason why they always kept a distance away was to render their artillery useless. The other side seems to have calculated the range of their artillery, and did not give them a chance to fire their artillery at all.

Darson wanted to cry, he had never thought of such a humiliating day, since they had conquered the world, only when he had beaten the other races to the ground, and never seen himself beaten to the ground.

He hurriedly gave the order to speed up, but no matter how much this side speeded up, the battleships behind him just followed in a hurry. The artillery never stopped.

One by one, his warships were sunk, and Darson could only watch, and the anger in his heart reached the extreme. But it's more about powerlessness.

The harbor in front of them was getting closer and closer, but when they arrived at the port, they found that they had lost only more than 30 warships on their side, and none of the remaining nearly 40 warships had returned, all of them were sunk in the sea, and there were still many struggling Japanese and Hebrew people on the sea.

At the same time, the enemy warships at sea were already about ten miles from the coast, and at this time, the guns of the ten batteries in the center of the sea were aimed at the enemy warships on the sea.

They were waiting to attack the enemy warships at any time, but although the distance of ten miles reached the range of the artillery, the accuracy and power would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, they were waiting for the enemy's warships to approach the port again, but the battleships on the opposite side seemed to know the power of the artillery of the batteries on this side, and directly stopped at a place of about ten miles and did not advance again.

Darson was dumbfounded, he felt as if his side had been completely penetrated by the enemy on the other side, and he couldn't fight back if he wanted to.

Enraged, he hurriedly gave the order to shoot at the ten batteries, and the ten batteries hurriedly carried out the shelling order, and the ten guns were fired, but unfortunately, the shells fell into the sea less than 100 meters in front of those battleships, blowing up the sea water.

On the battleship of the Huaxia Army, Yue Pengju looked at the ten batteries opposite, his expression was as usual, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he was still a little worried about this battle at first.

After all, although he had received information from his captive, he did not believe it. But now it seems that all the information is true. This gave him a strong confidence in capturing the port of Kajiu in front of him.

But the most difficult thing to solve at present is the ten batteries, unless he recklessly attacks directly, but in this case, his warships will definitely lose a lot of money.

The power of those ten batteries was not ordinary, and if they were hit correctly, they might even sink their warships directly.

"Turn the general's cannon and knock out the ten batteries." He calmly gave the order to attack. Although those forts were troublesome, he was not at a loss.

Whether you can break the game depends on the big general cannon you brought, this is a large-caliber artillery with a caliber of 80, and the firing range can reach fifteen to twenty miles.

It's just that this kind of artillery is okay to hit a large area of targets, and it is still a little difficult to aim at a small target like a fort in the sea. However, Yue Pengju has time here.

As long as the ten forts are resolved, the port of Kakuda in front can be captured.

There are only seven of these guns brought by Yue Pengju, except for one on his flagship, there are only six warships of the same size as the flagship.

Moreover, this is the first time that such artillery has been test-fired at sea. It is also not known how many such artillery shots a wooden battleship will be able to withstand. After all, the recoil of the artillery was extremely large, which caused certain losses to the battleship itself. As a last resort, Yue Pengju would not open fire easily.

But in today's situation, he has to prepare to fire.
