Chapter 936: The Great Strength of the Navy
Qingling thought for a while, then held her mouth and asked in disbelief: "Boss, are you saying that she has a sweetheart in the autumn?
Shadow Dance said uncertainly, "No, how is it possible?"
Wang Yong also said with some uncertainty: "I'm just guessing, I'm not sure, let's take a closer look." ”
Qingling asked curiously: "Boss, who did you say was Autumn's sweetheart?
Wang Yong rolled his eyes and said, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, beware of the autumn knowing that I will spank you." ”
Seeing that Qingling was not afraid at all, Wang Yong said helplessly: "If I'm not mistaken, Autumn has a good impression of that guy Francis, but if it's not her sweetheart, I don't know." ”
Shadow Dance exclaimed, "Francis, isn't he already married?" After speaking, he remembered the scene where Francis stopped Autumn's madness just now, and remembered that Autumn personally packed Francis for supper last night, and couldn't help but think for a while.
Twenty minutes later, Wang Yong and the three, who were muttering about autumn, suddenly heard a sound like a broken gong, and when they looked up, it turned out that the lookout post on the mast had raised the alarm.
The alarm remembered that the three herons, who were originally resting on the back deck, quickly took off and flew in the direction pointed by the sentry to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance, while the crews of the various battleships put on their armor and ran out of the cabin, standing at their respective posts, looking into the distance with wary faces.
Not long after, the Wind Heron returned, circled above the main ship, and identified the opponent's 'enemy ship', and then took off again to rise in altitude, disappearing in the clouds, ready to dive down to launch a sneak attack on the 'enemy ship'.
The flagbearer on the mast conveyed Hank's order to the entire fleet, and the supply ships and hospital ships slowed down and broke away from the fleet after receiving the order, following far behind, while the main station team was lined up, constantly adjusting direction. Go straight to the goal.
The bow of the main ship has now been taken over by two groups of soldiers, who control the magic cannon, heavy bed crossbow and trebuchet in the bow respectively, and constantly adjust the angle to always aim at the black dot in front of them.
Wang Yong was afraid that he would affect these soldiers, so he and Ying Wu and Light Spirit took off with a flying sword and followed the main ship in the air of more than 20 meters.
Gradually, the distance between the two sides narrowed, and after being able to see the distance through the lookout glass, Hank ordered the mainsail to be hoisted and full speed ahead.
With the speed constantly accelerating. The warship was bumpy and undulating in the waves, but all the crew members stood firmly on the boat like nails, not affected by the waves, and Wang Yong and others who could see the air were full of admiration. Hank's sudden acceleration caused the target to quickly enter the fleet's firing range, and seeing that the 'enemy ship' did not escape, Hank ordered to slow down to stabilize the hull, and then gave the order to attack.
With the herald's flag waving. After each battleship received the order to attack, two warships on the left and right sides accelerated and rushed out diagonally, looking at the direction of the two flanks intended to outflank the enemy, while the remaining six battleships came with a salvo. Magic, heavy crossbows, and massive rocks slammed into the target ship directly ahead.
After a salvo, several of the target ships were blown to pieces at a distance of several hundred meters, but many more were constantly bubbling and undulating in the waves stirred up by boulders and heavy crossbows. Obviously, Hank's accuracy is not yet accurate enough to hit such a small target on the surface of the sea hundreds of meters away.
However, Wang Yong, who was in the air, could see clearly, although most of the attacks did not hit the target. But the magic fired by those boulders, heavy crossbows and magic cannons is not far from the target, if the target ship is replaced with the same size as the battleship, then most of the attacks should be able to hit, for such a result, Wang Yong is still very satisfied.
After the salvo, the long-range firepower of each ship was divided into three levels and constantly tilted towards the target, and when it was less than 200 meters away from the target, the ships adjusted their direction one after another, avoided the enemy ships that had lost their ability to move, and passed through the enemy group.
During this period, the main long-range fire of the bow and stern of each ship constantly adjusted the direction to attack the enemy ships on the left and right, and the soldiers standing on the deck also used their crossbows and bows to suppress the enemy forces on the deck of the enemy ships.
As the two sides passed by, the fire point in the bow of the ship had lost its firing angle, while the ballista, magic cannon and trebuchet in the stern were at the optimal firing angle. With the continuous attack, when Hank and the fleet rushed past the target, all that was left of the original target ship was broken debris and heavy crossbows and crossbow arrows floating without arrows.
Wang Yong and the three in the air did not follow the fleet, but suspended in the air where the target ship was located, quietly watching the mess below. Although the attack just now was not as earth-shattering and deterrent as artillery, when the warship fired in all directions, the momentum was also very huge, especially the huge waves of huge stones fired by trebuchets falling into the sea, which were even more shocking to see and made people feel a little afraid.
In the distance, Hank commanded the fleet to assemble, then turned around to join up with the supply ships, hospital ships, and fifteen speedboats that were not participating in the exercise, and also announced the end of the first item of the exercise.
After a big circle like a show-off, Hank took the fleet to anchor on the battlefield just now, and after ordering the sailors to go into the water to salvage the heavy crossbows and crossbow arrows, he came to Wang Yong who landed on the deck, and said with a smug face: "How is the boss?" Wang Yong nodded and gave affirmation.
Hank smiled and said yearningly: "If you follow your boss's design, you will definitely be more fierce if you change the battleship into a hedgehog full of guns." ”
Wang Yong smiled and said, "After you go back this time, you should seize the time to transform, and strive to complete the transformation before the enemy." ”
Hank was overjoyed, stood up and saluted, saying, "Yes." ”
At this time, Autumn and Francis, who had watched the whole exercise, came to the deck, perhaps shocked by the previous scene, and Autumn changed his previous disdain, and said to Hank in a solemn tone: "Captain Hank, is it our turn?"
Hank nodded and asked the orderly officer beside him, "How many target ships do we have left?"
The orderly replied, "There are less than thirty of them." ”
Hank looked at Autumn with a calm face, thought for a while, and said, "In this way, leave ten ships in reserve, and let the speedboats pull out the rest." Speaking of this, Hank asked Autumn, "How are the target ships arranged, are they grouped together or scattered?"
Autumn glanced at Francis and replied, "Just like you just did, let's line up, the distance is not too large, about two hundred meters apart." (To be continued......)
