Chapter 4 The Centennial Navy
Although this flagship is old, it is also a medium-sized warship of five or six thousand tons, and the protective armor is several inches thick.
Such a shot on the deck was like a sledgehammer smashed on an iron plate, and it slammed, and the whole ship was shaken.
Many of the sailors and fighters who were a little closer were wounded and vomited blood in this great tremor.
There were even several pipes that were cracked, and high-pressure steam was spewed out, scalding several people nearby.
However, this was the case, and the structure of the entire battleship did not suffer any damage, and began to fire back frantically.
You know, the shells of these battleships are extremely powerful. However, the defensive power is also amazing, even if a shell of this weight is bombarded, it often takes dozens of shots before it can sink completely.
It's just that the tactics of the Great Qi fleet are different from those of the Eastern Wa, and they fire bullets.
The so-called bullets are like giant spears with a diameter of half a meter. It is also fired with a steam projectile, although the power is not as great as that of a round cannonball.
But its sharp arrows make it easier to pierce the enemy's armor protection.
Both types of shells have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it depends only on the choice of the commander.
"Boom ......"
A bullet ejected and flew out, as if in retaliation, and slammed straight into the side of a warship.
It was supposed to be the thickest and most protective place for a warship, but it was still half pierced by bullets and hung on the side of the enemy warship.
Again, nothing too much trouble for the enemy!
The enemies are very red when they see each other, and the two sides come and go, and the style of fighting is extremely brave, almost all of them do not dodge or dodge, and do not rely on the mobility of warships to dodge shells.
Instead, they all bombarded each other at close range without dodging or dodging!
In this kind of battle, even the Twin Mages are of little use.
In naval warfare, mages often play auxiliary roles such as reconnaissance, detection, shadowing, and illusion.
However, in close shelling, none of this is needed.
The power of hundreds of kilograms of huge cannonballs, which were ejected by high-pressure steam, was not something that the mage's strength could resist.
Since this is the case, then the Twin Mages simply jumped out and fought alone in the air.
Of course, this tactic was very tragic, and in just a few minutes, both sides had their own ships sunk.
However, on the whole, it was still the fleet of Daqi that had a slight upper hand.
Because not only is the strength of this detachment of Daqi slightly stronger than that of Dongwei, but more importantly, on the side of Daqi's detachment, there are also two airships fighting together.
In the middle of the boom, several alchemy incendiary bombs were thrown on the Dongwei warship.
Although these incendiary bombs could not burn through the armor of the warship, they were enough to cause a raging fire on the deck of the warship. Countless surface structures and sailors were set on fire......
However, it can only be said that the warships of the East Widow are also old, because in the last two decades, with the power of airships have become more and more important.
The protection of new warships for airships has long been mentioned to a very important point.
At the very least, in the twenty years on Roba's side, there have been very few deck buildings for new warships. And during the battle, almost all personnel worked under armor protection.
There will be no chance of any power for the airship's incendiary bombs!
Moreover, the air defense on those new warships is very strong.
However, in the Eastern Continent, these old warships are still preserved. Its naval level, in the eyes of the Robalist powers, is about the same as the level of rookies pecking at each other!
Even Yin Shengzhi, who was watching the battle from a distance, could vaguely see that in fact, the Dongwei people were more than one step better than the Great Qi fleet in terms of training level and soldier quality.
"In the Battle of Xishagou that year, the defeat of our Daqi fleet to the Dongwei people was not wronged at all......
It was the war when the Roba people invaded Roxian, and as the suzerainty of Roxian, Daqi sent troops to protect Roxian.
However, he did not expect that under the First World War, not only the navy at that time was completely wiped out.
Even Luo Xian was not saved, and the Dongwei people even fought all the way from Luo Xian to Daqi and captured the Shendu......
"The 100-year-old navy, under the guidance of the Alfred Kingdom, has been developing the navy for decades
On the contrary, since the total destruction of the Xishagou naval battle in that year, the training and quality of our navy are not as good as those of the Eastern Ones......"
As long as the army is issued with a gun and trained for a few months, it is already a qualified soldier.
And the construction of the Navy is not so easy...... It's a real technical class.
Even Yin Shengzhi had no way to significantly strengthen the strength of the navy in a short period of time.
I can't say that in the future, we still have to intensify the construction of the navy.
However, the navy is too expensive, and millions of gold dollars are enough to equip a fully manned main force.
However, it can only buy a second-class warship of 20,000 tons or 30,000 tons!
Just when Yin Shengzhi was slightly distracted, the earth-shattering cheers had already sounded on the airship.
Another warship of the Dongyu people was sunk and slowly sank towards the bottom of the sea.
At this time, only the last ship was left in the Dongwa fleet.
They had already begun to retreat, not looking like they were preparing to flee, but rather intending to fight, relying on mobility and maneuvering around the Great Qi fleet.
And this method of battle is more difficult, obviously with the quality of the Great Qi fleet, if this way of fighting is the beginning, I am afraid that it will be the turn of the Great Qi side to fall into the disadvantage.
"The enemy is so entangled, it seems that reinforcements will arrive, ready to fight!"
Yin Shengzhi gave the order.
Everyone's hearts were high, and they should be.
Since the Battle of Xishagou that year, the Daqi Navy has been almost completely annihilated.
This is the first time that you have raised your eyebrows so much!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the fleet that was carrying military supplies to Northtown sneaked away, trying to make a circle to Northtown.
At this time, they didn't know that on the Great Qi warship that stopped them, there was a senior alchemist of Compis who was personally in charge.
He also wants to cast the astral fog to confuse his vision, and then take the opportunity to escape.
However, how did they know that they had fallen into Yin Shengzhi's net?
In fact, if it weren't for Confiss' deliberate delay in accordance with Yin Shengzhi's plan, the fleet would have suffered a long time ago.
This time, the mages on the ship still wanted to resist and take advantage of the opportunity to escape.
Because they vaguely felt that the situation was strange and very bad.
However, when they made up their minds, a white mist rose all around, and they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape.
But at this time, I don't know where the wind of breaking the law came from, and it has blown away the astral aura that was covering and escaping.
