Volume 2 2 Subvolume 1 - The Beginning of a Cross-Era Naval Battle
[General Era 101030, Line Infantry Civilization Year 5031, Summer.] Kingdom No. 2, the waters near Kingdom No. 2. 】
The "ruthless adjudicators" who had a local stronghold and were responsible for unequal trade exchanges had recently returned to their original land with all their weapons.
This does not mean that the other side is starting to give in - on the contrary, it may be a preparation for a terrible big battle!
It was a cloudy day, and the sky was a light gray from near to far.
The surface of the sea is also dark.
A fleet of sail battleships was patrolling the sea.
The mysterious canyon that connects the enemy's land is near this sea.
If the enemy were to attack this land of the native civilization, they would first pass through here - this sea area, which could be said to be the frontline of defense of the entire civilization.
This fleet consisted of five large sail battleships, none of which were equipped with a full 120 guns!
In the native civilization, such a sail battleship is a very powerful character in naval warfare!
However, in the face of the combat ships of those "cold adjudicators", it is still a mystery whether these original sea powerhouses can continue their former glory......
One thing is certain, however, - it will not be long before the enemy will be attacking the land by transporting their forces from the sea!
On the flagship of the large sail battlefleet, there seems to be something going on!
"Admiral, Admiral, there's a ...... over there," said one of the crew members in charge of the lookout, in horror to a man with a two-cornered hat.
"What?!, could it be our own sailboat?" said the Admiral, who began to get a little nervous, as he picked up the monoculars on the table and looked into the distance, "Ah...... Is that...... They...... There are no sails, only chimneys......"
With trembling hands, the Admiral placed the telescope on the table.
The Admiral gasped nervously and looked in the distance in the direction where the "Ruthless Adjudicator" combat ships were coming: "They're coming!"
"We are...... Fight or go ......," the lookout asked the admiral, a little frightened.
"Everyone, get ready for battle!" shouted the Admiral to the men on the flagship, and then he added, "Herald, send the signal to the other ships ready for battle!
......
On the sea, five sail battleships began to line up in a formation, and the formation was a unit, and the whole turned to one side.
The guns of the sail battleships were lined up on both sides of the deck - the sides of such battleships were the main area of their firepower.
Therefore, it is a good choice to aim the side at the enemy.
The battle between the steel steam battleships of the "cold adjudicators" and the sail battleships of the native civilization has never been fought before.
Soon, this cross-border sea battle full of unknowns will begin!
......
Soon, with five sail battleships, they came to the designated firing position.
The sails of the five ships were folded - several ships were not ready to take the initiative to attack, they would adjust their formation here, waiting for the opposing steel steam battleships to come into range of their guns, and then several hundred guns to launch a salvo attack.
Of course, this period of continuous formation adjustment is also full of dangers!
The opposing steel steam battleship kept approaching.
Suddenly, a tense situation happened - in the distance, the guns of those "cold adjudicators" steel steam battleships were fired!
Yes, the range of the enemy's artillery is almost three times the range of your own artillery!
The shell smashed into the sea near the sail battleship, and with another terrifying explosion, splashed a large splash.
The enemy has a great advantage in range - although there have been rumors that the enemy's artillery has a long range, but even so, the people here have no idea that the enemy will open fire at such a long distance.
If your sail ships don't take the initiative to attack, the enemy can stop outside the range of your ships' guns and calmly fire on all your sailboats!
You have to take the initiative to attack, however, even if you attack actively, you have to be out of range and withstand the enemy's powerful artillery fire.
For these sea forces of Kingdom No. 2, this naval battle, from the very beginning, was full of difficulties and dangers!
