Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1103

[Chapter 1103 Jealousy]

“Yes, Admiral.”

The adjutant next to Malfoy immediately passed Malfoy’s order through the change of the flag on the battleship.

After receiving the order, the reserve warships on the rear, towed by the steamer, passed through the gap between the front warships and approached the Dasong fleet.

When the Xitu Fleet launched an attack, the ironclad ship would naturally not be beaten in vain.

Dasong’s ironclad ship has two rotating turrets at the front and back, and the side artillery design of the sailing warship is still retained to ensure the firepower of the warship.

And it is different from the naval guns on sailing warships.

The things on the ironclad ship are all the most advanced at present.

Naval guns are naturally the same, after the breech guns are installed in the army.

The naval guns on the ironclad ships also all use the rear loading method.

Facing the artillery fire from the coalition warships, the ironclad ship immediately began to counterattack, the side artillery and the front rotating turret fired at the same time.

Since all the naval guns of the Dasong Navy use rifled guns, the Xitu Navy still uses smoothbore guns.

And the quality of naval guns is no longer at the same level.

In previous naval battles, the naval guns of the Dasong Navy basically beat the naval guns of the Western Turks. .

At this moment, at a distance of four kilometers, the shells fired by the Dasong naval guns are undoubtedly even more powerful.

Therefore, in the first round of mutual shooting, the Dasong Fleet was unscathed, but six warships of the Xitu Fleet were directly penetrated by the shells, and a big hole was instantly blown out.

“General, the Xitu Navy has indeed sent warships to approach.” The

mutual shelling began, and Song Xiang and Zhou Yi entered the cockpit of the ironclad ship.

Noticing the situation of the Xitu Fleet, Song Xiang said to Zhou Yi.

“Hmph, the closer they are, the better.” Zhou Yi snorted coldly.

Undoubtedly, the natives of the West had never seen an ironclad ship, or even had the concept of it.

They are still only stuck in the era of sailing warships.

Therefore, after seeing that their shelling was useless against the ironclad ship, the opposing officers would inevitably have doubts and order the battleship to continue to shoot close to prevent the shells from being too far away and not powerful enough.

And this is exactly what Zhou Yi wanted.

The West Turk Navy made it clear that they would eat them up.

Why don’t they want this?

“Boom boom boom…”

For the next half an hour, the two sides would come and go on the sea, bombarding each other.

The ironclad ship’s breech-loaded rifled guns fired very fast, and the Western Turk Navy’s warships were silent one after another.

Although the ironclad ship was constantly bombarded by the opponent’s shells, it was still strong.

Only the masts on some decks were blown off.

But this is not a critical damage to the Ironclad.

After all, the mast is only to save raw materials when the ironclad ship sails long distances, not a source of power.

Seeing that his own warships were constantly being damaged, while the warships of the Great Song Fleet were still able to fight back, Malfoy’s forehead kept breaking out in cold sweat.

But until now, he still couldn’t imagine that the opponent’s battleship had iron-cast plate armor, and thought that the wood of the Great Song battleship might be better.

Therefore, he made the battleships approach and approach, so that the distance between the two warships seemed to shrink to one kilometer.

However, at this moment, he found that the formation of the Dasong Navy suddenly began to change.

The twelve warships on the periphery turned their bows and rushed towards them in three directions.

This is exactly Zhou Yi’s heart order.

Seeing that the Xitu Navy had completely fallen into his trap, he was ready to finish.

From the initial unilateral bombardment to mutual bombardment, the Western Turk Navy lost about 150 warships.

In addition, the warships destroyed by Gong Ying reached half of the coalition navy.

For the remaining half, he was prepared to adopt a more swift attack to end the naval battle.

According to his order, the six ironclad ships headed east for the main force of the Western Earth Fleet.

Thirty-six steamers followed behind the ironclads, towing galleys.

Three ironclads each went out to the south and west, and twelve steamers and galleys each followed the ironclads.

These warships included Gong Ying’s warship that had just attacked.

“Boom boom boom…”

When the Dasong fleet changed its formation, many Xitu sail warships fired at the Dasong fleet non-stop, the flames flickered, and ball-shaped flower shells roared towards them.

In order to avoid the sailing warships and steamships behind being hit by shells.

The ironclads tried their best to adopt a protective formation.

When driving, the formation of the armored fleet presents a “human” shape.

Many sailing warships are hiding behind the formation.

However, due to the close proximity of the Xitu fleet and the large number of artillery pieces, many shells passed through the gaps and landed on the sailing warships and steam ships.

But fortunately, the opponent’s spherical shells did not penetrate enough, and it was difficult to penetrate the deck.

It’s just that even so, the shells fell on the sailing warship, which caused a lot of damage to the sailing warship.

When rushing towards the coalition warships, the masts of the sailing warships of the Dasong Navy were constantly blown off, or the wooden structures on the deck were ignited in the explosions, and soldiers also suffered casualties.

On the flagship, Zhou Yi observed these situations.

Although he regretted it, he understood that this was war.

Turning his head, he stared at the warship Xitu in front of him.

On the deck, two rotating turrets continuously bombarded the Western Earth battleship ahead.

As the distance continued to approach, the rotating turret hit almost every shot.

Western warships continued to be sunk.

At this time, the West Turk Navy seemed to have finally realized that something was wrong.

They turned around collectively, but instead of running away, they rushed straight towards them just like them.

Zhou Yi immediately realized that the opponent must think that the artillery battle could not be won, and that this was the preparation for the bayonet to become popular.

If you want to rely on the advantage of numbers to fight for the last time, fight the side battle!
