The Young Master Is Fierce Chapter 960: Death battle
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!
The time goes back to the early morning of April 23, the third year of Tiande.
The twelve cargo ships from Frankie retreated to the rear. In Bai Yulian's telescope, he saw the twenty warships on the opposite side beginning to gather.
"Pass an order..."
This is the first time the navy led by Bai Yulian has fought at sea, and he doesn't have much confidence in his heart!
If it were on land, Bai Yulian would probably pounce on the opponent immediately and take a bite of the opponent.
"All ships are ready for battle!"
The semaphore was played on the No. 1 flagship, and the other five battleships lined up.
Count Pizarro on Frankie's flagship Corsair also held up a telescope, with a frown on his dark old face.
Coming all the way across the ocean, we encountered countless ups and downs and lost half of the ship, and finally arrived at the mysterious east.
It took him more than a month to conquer the Liu Kingdom, and now he finally arrived at the legendary Eastern Divine Kingdom.
I heard that it is extremely rich here!
The exquisite and luxurious silks and satins are produced here, as are the tea, porcelain, jade and gold ornaments, etc.
There are beautiful women here and a culture that has been passed down for thousands of years.
If this territory is conquered - Count Pizarro's heart suddenly becomes excited, his family will have unimaginable wealth, and his status in Frankie will skyrocket!
That Archduke Philip who hindered his voyage... When I return in triumph, you will die!
Her Majesty the Queen will personally confer a title on me, and I will definitely get the title of Grand Duke!
It’s just that the battleship opposite is so big, why doesn’t it have a mast?
Battleships have a big advantage. They are equipped with more guns. The opposite ship does have more guns than its own invincible ship.
But the ship also has disadvantages. It is clumsy, which is not conducive to turning the bow of the ship more quickly and firing.
Facing this fleet of only six battleships, Count Pizarro was also worried. After all, this was the first time his fleet had encountered a real enemy along the way.
This has been a confrontation for three days, and the other side does not dare to attack, which means that the other side is a paper tiger.
They are still stuck in the era of relying solely on human oars. What is the use of such a warship? What's the use of having many naval guns? In front of their own invincible fleet, they would probably be wiped out in one attack!
With twenty invincible warships fighting six of the other side, there was no suspense in this battle when Count Pizarro thought about it.
He also issued an order at this moment. This order was very simple: "Start the war!"
Every one of the officers and soldiers on the invincible battleship was already jealous. After grabbing them all the way, the twelve cargo ships behind them were all filled.
The Earl said that after conquering the Eastern Kingdom of God, all the contents of the twelve cargo ships will be distributed to them!
What the count wants is the Eastern Divine Kingdom and everything in this Divine Kingdom!
Then quickly eliminate the opponent, find the landing port, and fight your way through!
Twenty warships came riding the wind and waves. Bai Yulian looked at it with a telescope and issued another order:
"The whole army is ready, with half the power, divided in a fan shape, turning the bow, the enemy is within range and can attack freely!"
Black smoke billowed out from the chimney of the Dreadnought-class battleship, and the huge hull began to move. Count Pizarro was slightly surprised when he saw it - what is going on?
Why is there smoke before I hit it?
He couldn't understand. After a while, he was shocked again. The opponent's warship seemed to be moving faster than he thought.
The wind is downwind, so they must have used a lot of oarsmen. There may not be many combat troops on the battleship, which is to their advantage.
Thinking about this, he felt at ease, put down the telescope, and picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip.
In half a cup of tea, the warships of the two armies were eighty feet apart. A moment later, the enemy ship was fifty feet away and entered the range of the Armada.
But at this moment, the captain of the Dreadnaught II battleship Butcher, a veteran under Bai Yulian, issued an attack order at this moment: "The enemy ship has entered the range, adjust the hull for me, and take aim!"
The No. 2 battleship slowly turned, its two rows of dark gun muzzles adjusted their position, aiming at the two enemy ships rushing towards them.
"Fire!" As the butcher roared, the No. 2 battleship fired ten guns. The thunderous roar frightened the coffee cup in Count Pizarro's hand and dropped it to the ground with a bang. Gotta smash.
He hurriedly raised his telescope. This distance was not yet within range. The opponent's shell...
Then his eyes widened in shock, and he clearly saw three of the opponent's shells falling on his battleship.
"Boom, boom, boom...!"
Amidst the sound of artillery fire, a violent explosion sounded, and a raging fire broke out on the hit battleship, with billowing black smoke rising - it was blown into two halves by those three shells!
"Boom, boom, boom..." The other shells fell into the sea, blasting up water columns several feet high. In the water columns, the battleship slowly sank.
"Hit, prepare for the second round of shelling!"
The butcher roared happily, and with a flag, the cannon in the second-floor cabin extended its dark muzzle and aimed at another enemy ship.
At the same time, the other five Dreadnought-class battleships have adjusted their hulls, and all the gun muzzles on the ship's sides have been extended.
At a distance of eighty feet, hundreds of cannons fired in unison. There was a deafening sound for a while, and enemy ships were hit and burned. The sea surface seemed to be boiling, with water columns standing up and water splashing everywhere.
Count Pizarro broke out in a cold sweat - the enemy's artillery fire range was a full thirty feet farther than his own!
This is fatal!
Fortunately, there were only six enemy ships. After one round of shooting, they had to adjust the side string on the other side. This took a long time, enough to get their fleet within fifty feet.
This is also true. Two salvos were fired from the opposite side, destroying six invincible battleships.
The Dreadnought-class battleships began to turn around, and the remaining fourteen invincible battleships moved forward desperately, entering a distance of fifty feet.
Count Pizarro did not order an attack, he needed to get closer.
The accuracy of artillery fire is greater at a distance of thirty feet.
When the six Dreadnought-class ships adjusted their side strings, fourteen invincible battleships entered the thirty-foot shooting range.
Count Pizarro waved his command flag fiercely: "Annihilate them for me!"
The fourteen battleships adjusted their direction on the spot and entered the bombardment a little earlier than the Dreadnought-class battleships.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Countless cannonballs poured down. Battleship No. 3 was hit by four cannonballs, the deck exploded, and fires were burning. However... it did not sink!
"The first brigade is fighting the fire, the second brigade is shooting, the third brigade and the bottom of the boat are getting water, let me stop it!"
In the first naval battle, this brand-new army lacked a lot of experience. Bai Yulian stood on the flagship and frowned deeply.
So far, he has made two mistakes!
One is that there is no warship left to protect the steering of the remaining warships.
The second is that the accuracy of shelling is too low.
The enemy did not shoot until he entered a range of thirty feet, which shows that the enemy's shooting distance is much shorter than his own.
However, this round of enemy bombardment hit four of our own warships. If it were not for the large amount of steel used by the Dreadnought-class warships, I am afraid that I would have lost this round of attacks.
"Aim for me! Shoot!"
