- After the sound of gunfire, the sea quickly returned to calm, leaving only a piece of wreckage, and the destroyer Pioneer slowly passed by the wreckage.
Facing this steel fleet that completely surpassed their era, the two small warships on Liu Zitao's border were almost completely crushed without even the power to resist.
The giant eagle knights took off one after another, quickly inspected the surrounding terrain, and inspected the location of the next island.
Obviously, they have known for a long time that there is nothing of value on this island that was regarded as an abandoned child.
However, under this circle of investigation, the giant eagle knights who occupy the high-altitude field of vision have made new discoveries
Controlling the giant eagle under his seat, a giant eagle knight quickly landed on the deck of the flagship Yangtze River.
"Report to Colonel, thousands of miles to the southwest of our fleet, we found a huge enemy fleet!"
The giant eagle knights have both the high-altitude vision and the flying ability of the giant eagle, so the detection range is naturally astonishingly large.
What they mean by thousands of miles away basically means that the distance is so far that it is impossible to judge the distance only by visual inspection, so this kind of saying is born, and it does not refer to any precise number.
Standing on the deck of the Yangtze River, as the highest officer of this fleet and also the commander of this battle, the expression on Yuan Xi's face at this moment did not reveal any carelessness.
Although just now their Yangtze River Fleet showed overwhelming strength and crushed the two small warships on the opposite side.
But since the Giant Eagle Knight said that they discovered a "huge enemy fleet", they must be vigilant. They are on an expedition, and they should relax their carelessness, which is the most taboo thing!
Raising the binoculars in his hand, Yuan Xi took a look in that direction, and without looking back, he said to the adjutant next to him without finding any trace of the enemy
"Lieutenant Colonel, send an order to change the course and head southwest. The speed is maintained at 20 knots. Once the enemy fleet is spotted, open fire!"
Yuan Xi's order was quickly conveyed, and the entire Yangtze River Fleet sailed directly to the southwest after a simple disguise.
The speed of 20 knots made their fleet's sailing speed extremely stable, leaving plenty of leeway for themselves.
However, maintaining this state of being close to each other, after a period of time passed, Yuan Xi, who had been unable to meet the enemy fleet for a long time, couldn't help frowning.
However, he has never been impatient, and he has not lost his position because of it.
Calmly signaled to the fleet to maintain a speed of 20 knots and move on.
On one side of the sea area, time passed by every minute and every second, and black shadows gradually appeared at the end of the distant horizon, indicating that the fleets of the two sides had finally launched their first face-to-face confrontation.
Yuan Xi, who was clearly aware that the target was approaching, ordered again, signaling the Yangtze River Fleet to start a detour to the left.
Anyone who has a certain understanding of warships must know that in the case of frontal fire, a battleship basically has few cannons that can be used, and the firepower is completely limited by the shooting angle. To maximize firepower, you have to sideways the hull.
In this way, while shortening the distance, it is the best way to go directly to the front left or the side of the front right.
At the same time, it is precisely because of this reason that in some intense naval battles, there will often be strange scenes where the warships of the enemy and the enemy keep circling each other.
Liu Zitao, who was on the opposite side, undoubtedly knew how to play naval battles. As he kept making rounds and approached, he gradually realized that something was wrong.
Taking a visual inspection from a distance, the fleet on the opposite side seems to be different from what he expected?
Accompanied by this doubt, he subconsciously touched his waist and made a gesture of wanting to hold a telescope.
However, it turned out to be empty
After all, he was still enjoying the sunbathing of a beauty just a second ago, but he was only wearing a pair of big underpants, and there was no room for him to put a telescope in those underpants.
"Binoculars, get my telescope!"
At this moment, Liu Zitao faintly sensed something was wrong, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable anxiety.
The guards who heard the order naturally did not dare to neglect, and quickly brought up the telescope of their emperor.
As a result, Liu Zitao had just taken it, and before he could make the next move, the roar of artillery fire from afar scared him out of his wits.
The roar of the gunfire?It is far away from where they are, and when it reaches here, it is basically not too loud.
But for Liu Zitao at this moment, that voice was more terrifying than anything else!
"Avoid! Hurry up and avoid!!!"
The almost hoarse roar did not have any effect.
In the next second, with a loud noise, the main battleship hit head-on by the enemy's shelling directly pierced a hole in its huge hull!
Hell, he is really alive!
See what he encountered in this black iron segment?
It turned out to be a steel fleet? ! What kind of international joke is this playing with him? Where's the odds? !
What's more, this is an almost desperate sea firepower!
Under a salvo of shelling, Liu Zitao, who was instantly deprived of the power to resist, shouted and told his fleet to turn around and retreat.
His main battleship is a typical sailing warship. The huge main part is divided into three floors. Each floor is equipped with a large number of smoothbore guns. There are as many as eighty guns in total. Nine hundred people.
This kind of sailing warship should have been a sea fortress of this rank.
However, now that he ran into a steel battleship that directly surpassed his era, now, even the sea fortress will collapse!
And the most terrible thing is that due to the eighty smoothbore guns and a large population, the weight of this sailing warship is extremely exaggerated, so that the speed can only be kept below ten knots
In other words, there was no way he could escape.
What's the difference between beating the steel fleet and beating the natives?
Taking advantage of the speed, the four destroyers cooperated with the battleship Changjiang to quickly spread out their formation, chasing and firing all the way.
In Liu Zitao's fleet, the smaller warships were basically unable to withstand that kind of firepower. One or two shells came over and were directly forcibly sunk.
And he has always been proud of the sailing battleship, which he thought was very cool. At this moment, its huge size has completely become a living target for the battleship on the opposite side.
After several rounds of shelling, the entire hull has become fragmented.
Gradually despairing in the face of absolute power, and then completely collapsed, at this moment, this feeling in Liu Zitao's heart can be said to be unprecedentedly clear!
