People were pushing anxiously and shouting in panic.

"Down, mast, down, ah......" One of the soldiers shouted in fright, standing by the entrance.

With a "boom", the mast smashed into the panicked crowd, and the entire mast was broken into two!

The impact of the mast falling caused the entire wooden deck to sink, and some soldiers who hurriedly escaped from the cannon fell directly into the cabin below from the depression of the deck.

There was chaos on the deck.

The soldier who had shouted in panic just now sat on the ground trembling and watched with trepidation at the terrible scene in front of him!

"Retreat! Our ship can't fight anymore!

"Quick, hurry up and save people......"

"They're so powerful, we can't beat them!"

"Run!"

"Can this ship still be driven?

......

The soldier, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly reacted - the crisis from the enemy shelling is far from over!

But he didn't know what to do now - they lost the captain and the ship's command staff, their ship was badly damaged, and the crew was badly hit.

At this moment, a nightmarish sound sounded again - the guns on the turrets of the enemy battleships opened fire again!

The soldier looked pained, his head in his hands, and waited in horror for the violent shock of the next shelling.

......

The howling of shells with a Doppler effect echoed from the sidelines.

The people on the deck couldn't help but remember a burst of exclamations.

The shell, clinging to the ship, flew by, and then, to the rear.

Immediately after, not far from the rear, suddenly there was a violent explosion!

"Ah...... The shell hit the boat behind!" shouted one of the men on deck, pointing to the side and rear.

The second sail battleship in the rear was hit in the middle of the hull, and the entire hull was directly blown open with a big hole - the situation was not too bad, the position hit by the shell was above the waterline, otherwise, the battleship would soon sink!

......

On the sea, the speed of the second battleship slowed down.

The fourth battleship (the third was the flagship), located behind the second ship, went to its flank, and immediately replenished the lateral fire that was missing from the side of the second ship due to the damage of the guns.

The first ship, on the other hand, began to turn to the side, preparing to retreat temporarily.

Now, the fourth ship and the second ship are staggered a short distance from the front and back, driving roughly parallel at the head of the team.

It was followed by the third ship and the fifth ship, which were the flagships.

On the deck of the fourth, the soldiers were already waiting on either side of the guns, ready to shoot—and it wouldn't be long before the opponent's steel steam battleship was within range of the guns of their own sail battleships.

"Is the cannon aimed at us?!" a soldier on the deck looked in horror at the enemy in the distance.

"I want to ......" Before the soldier next to him could finish speaking, a flash of light lit up on the enemy ship not far away.

A puff of smoke and dust erupted from the guns on the turret.

"Get down!"

The soldiers on the deck fell to the ground in a panic.

With a "whoosh", a cannonball slashed past the side.

This was followed by a loud bang with a noticeable vibration!

The enemy's shells hit the rear of the middle of the second ship behind the side!

"Everyone prepare!" shouted the shelling commander on deck.

The soldiers, who were lying on the ground, immediately hurried to the side of the artillery.

"Listen to me...... Prepare for ......" The artillery commander on the deck looked at the enemy ship not far away and shouted, "Fire!"

On the fourth ship, there was a continuous burst of artillery fire!

One after another, the shells flew quickly towards the enemy battleship.

In the distance, on the enemy ship, there was a sound of metal clashing.

However!...... The spherical shells fired by the ship's old guns seemed to have little effect on battleships equipped with metal armor!

"Damn...... It's useless!" said one of the soldiers anxiously.

There seems to be bad news from the stern of the No. 4 ship!

"The shell just now hit the waterline of the No. 2 ship!" one soldier shouted.

The explosive power of the enemy's shells is not small, and if it hits near the waterline, it will naturally explode a large hole there.

Some of the soldiers nervously ran to the other side of the deck and looked that way.

Sure enough, the rear of the second ship had been damaged by shells - a large amount of seawater began to pour into its rear side!

On the second ship on the side, it began to get noisy - the situation there did not look very good!

With the rapid influx of seawater, the second ship has begun to tilt slightly.

"Oh no......" A soldier on the deck of the fourth ship suddenly noticed something.

That's right! The second ship is tilting this way, and soon, it will fall on the fourth ship!

The captain of the fourth ship, who was not far from the front of the deck, seemed to be aware of this, and he shouted loudly to the crew: "Quick, adjust the sails, speed up! The second ship is about to fall...... Yes...... Wait...... Damn ......"

The captain of the fourth ship suddenly noticed something again.
