In 1558, the Ming Dynasty man Tang Shunzhi compiled a book called "Army of Martial Arts", detailing a structure and layout method of "underwater mine" to combat the Wokou that invaded the coast of China.

This is the earliest artificially controlled, Machinery fired anchor mine. It uses a wooden box as a lightning shell, putty joints and black Gunpowder inside. Its firing device is not tied by a long rope, which is pulled by people Detonate.

A Sevastopol rope is dropped under the wooden box with 3 iron anchors to control the depth of the thunder body in the water.

In 1590, China invented the earliest mine drifter— "Underwater Dragon Cannon" with a fuze as a timing fuze. Nine years later, Wang Minghe of China invented the "Underwater Cry of Thunder" with a rope as the thread.

In 1621, the "Underwater Dragon Cannon" and "Underwater Cry of Thunder" were improved to trigger the lightning drift of the fuse, and the enemy ship was damaged in Naval Battle several times.

Europe and the United States did not begin using naval mine in actual combat until the eighteenth century. During the North America Independence War, North Belle attacked the Britain warship anchored at the estuary of the Trava River in Philadelphia. On January 7, 1778, Gunpowder and Machinery fuzes were packed in small beer kegs to make naval mine, which drifted downstream.

Although it did not encounter a warship at that time, it suddenly exploded when it was picked up by the British sailors, killing and wounding some people. It was historically called a "small barrel war."

19 In the middle of the 20th century, Russia person B · C · Atubi invented the electrolyte triggered anchor mine. In the Crimean War of 1854-1856, Tsar Russia used this triggered anchor mine to defend the harbor. In battle.

Since then, various types of naval mine have been continuously developed and improved, and widely used. In the United States Civil War and the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, the naval mine results were quite good.

Since then, countries have paid more attention to the naval mine war, and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to step up research and manufacture of various naval mine. In first time World War, a total of naval mine310,000 of various types of both sides were deployed, a total of 148 ships were sunk, Submarine54 were sunk, and merchant ship586 were sunk, totaling 1.22 million tons.

In modern Naval Battle, naval mine is an indispensable weapon. An old-fashioned naval mine, which costs little, is enough to cause a modern warship costing whatever happens|10 million or even hundreds of millions of dollars to die.

Mediterranean Fleet is now located in Gibraltar sea domain. It is exactly the trigger type "Underwater Dragon Cannon" and "Underwater Cry of Thunder" brought by Ouyang Shuo. There are thousands of them, and War Preparations Bureau's inventory has been emptied.

naval mine Manufacturing Technology is the same as Ming Dynasty Firearm Manufacturing Technology. After the improvement of No. 7 Research Institute, the explosion power is greater, the trigger is more sensitive, and the layout on the sea is also more secret.

These secrets weapon Shanhai City have been kept secret. After being developed, Great Xia Dynasty does not have any large-scale Naval Battle ;. It is also a strategic weapon because of the need for confidentiality.

Wait until Morocco National War is provoked. In view of the complex situation of Mediterranean Sea, Ouyang Shuo decided to let Underwater Dragon Cannon be available. It was used in this big Naval Battle and it really hit.

Although Technology Tree in the West is ahead of the East, it is lagging behind in naval mine technology. Therefore, neither Casillias nor Alexander Farnese expected that they would encounter naval mine attack.

This idea, or arrogance, has brought bitter results.

Alexander Farnese urgently ordered Battleship to stop advancing, but the Windsail Battleship, which can sail at a high speed, can be stopped whenever it is said to be stopped.

The sound of explosions continues.

A large number of Battleships were attacked by naval mine, and the severely injured ones were slowly sinking.

To make matters worse, after just a while, the two formations of Mediterranean Fleet has quickly come to him, put it in a font, and started firing on Spain Armada.

two formations one south and one north, with full firepower, targeting enemy ships' sails, masts, and muzzles, and other key parts. It has made enemy ships incapable of navigation as their primary goal.

as previously mentioned, pure Windsail Battleship shelling at each other, it is difficult to obtain a decisive result in a short time, the only way is to break the mast.

A battleship without masts and sails is like a tiger without teeth.

Alexander Farnese is by no means idle, and soon calms down. conductor Fleet fights back and meets the brave to win on the narrow road. In the end, Armada occupies a quantitative advantage and is not without counterattack.

Just like this, Mediterranean Fleet has the formation advantage in the end, both sides pinch, and if it is 2 vs. 1, Spain Armada will not be destroyed, but it will be beaten to a disability.

The accident happened in Casillias, and the Casillias that was slightly overwhelmed was a little bit worried. Looking away, Armada was sunk in the blink of an eye of the main force of the 30 ship Battleship.

This loss makes Casillias look pale.

Armada is the possession of the entire Spain.

"No, I can't fight like this."

Casillias immediately responded. If Armada really suffered a heavy hit in this campaign, Gallo Fleet and Roman Fleet will never give Spain second time the opportunity to enter Mediterranean Sea.

Do n’t be really desperate until then. In the end, things are small and benefits are big.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Casillias found Alexander Farnese and issued an order to withdraw.

"What did you say?" Alexander Farnese was unbelievable.

I do n’t want Casillias, but I have a firm attitude and said firmly: "General, at this juncture, keeping Fleet is the top priority. Do n’t you know the delicate situation of Mediterranean Sea?"

Alexander Farnese heard it, and looked silently. Although not reconciled, Alexander Farnese had to admit that Casillias made sense and gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's go!"

"Withdraw!"

Soon, the team's order to retreat was passed on.

Unfortunately, even if Spain Armada wants to withdraw, not all Battleship can be withdrawn. Whether hit by naval mine or smashing the mast by Mediterranean Fleet, can't walk.

Battleship like this accounts for one third of the entire Fleet.

Furthermore, Armada has entered the depths of the naval mine area. At this moment, it hastily stopped and it is very difficult to turn the bow again. In the process, naval mine deployed in the sea was inevitably encountered again.

It's a misfortune.

Fortunately, Spain Armada is a well-trained and mature Fleet, ranging from Commander, to generals, to Navy, and crew, all rich in experience.

Therefore, despite the accidents, panic and confusion did not occur. One after another, Battleship turned gorgeously in the bursts of fire, and turned around collectively. In the process, open fire can fight back.

The heritage of the old-fashioned offshore Empire cannot be underestimated.

Álvaro saw that enemy army was to be withdrawn, so naturally it will not be easily let go, and ordered Fleet to bypass the naval mine area and continue with Chasing Strike. Relying on Territory Properties of Great Xia Dynasty, Mediterranean Fleet is a little faster than Armada.

In addition, the Battleships of the Armada ships are more or less hit by the naval mine, and they are more likely to be attacked by the Mediterranean Fleet and face constant bombardment.

Several artillery shells swept across the sky and exploded on the deck, causing people to smash over.

This time, both Casillias and Alexander Farnese have headaches.

"No, you ca n’t just withdraw it. If you continue to use it like this, Fleet must be consumed slowly." At the critical time, Alexander Farnese had a decision. Immediately ordered the 20 Battleship to turn the bow again, connected end to end, and the cable was across the river. Situation, blocking the Mediterranean Fleet Chasing Strike route.

The remaining Battleship, then took the opportunity and fled.

Álvaro saw it, and sighed, his expression was complicated, and he said, "Let's escape!" He was originally born in Spain, and although he is his own, he still can't bear to confront his old family again.

But no matter how unbearable, you still have to fight.

…………

An hour later, the Spain Armada that broke off one arm finally got rid of the Chasing Strike of Mediterranean Fleet, passed through Strait of Gibraltar again, and evacuated domestically.

Died before the expedition.

The entire Battleship is shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. Casillias is ashamed. Thinking of the rhetoric before set out, see again and other Mediterranean Sea Lord cast a strange look. Casillias almost cannot afford to look up, it is really faceless to face these allies .

I saw that Spain Armada was eating in front of two formations of Mediterranean Fleet. Battleship casualty was over half, and its strength was greatly reduced. These Mediterranean Sea allies are really shocked by within heart, with different expressions.

So it seems that the strange situation of Mediterranean Sea is about to regenerate.

As for the Morocco Lord of Caroline and Rainier, they are ashamed at this time. They are better than anyone else. The last chance of Morocco to win was completely buried in a blast just before.

Rainier has a tenacious temperament and confesses on the spot to Royal City Reincarnation Temple.

Caroline didn't have the courage to brag, and locked himself in the cabin, never to see anyone again. She was just waiting for the moment when System pronounced Morocco's death and went to Land of Trials together.

At this moment, another ship Battleship is coming in front of sea domain, which is Mediterranean Fleet Fifth Formation stationed at Central Point City. According to the plan, Fifth Formation is responsible for intercepting Armada.

Compared with Alexander Farnese, Álvaro still has to be superior and accurate.

Thanks to Spain Armada's current corpse, it is not afraid of Fifth Formation's provocation, and even has the confidence to win. It was just that the Casillias that was in shock was no longer willing to fight. He was worried that Fleet would be dragged by enemy army and then caught up by another two formations of Chasing Strike.

While then, Armada is afraid that he will not escape under the pinch.

So when I saw Fifth Formation, Casillias didn't even think about it, and directly re-assigned 20 ship Battleship to intercept. The remaining main force armed forces guarded Flagship, detoured, and fled back to China.

Proud Casillias, this time was completely frightened by Mediterranean Fleet.
