Chapter 73 Naval Battle

As the sailing was carried out, the Blackfire Fleet and Shi Fei's main fleet marched south at a distance of 700 meters, and the sloop battleship group was scattered on the farther sea surface.

Daliang hid behind the port fence of the bridge and observed the enemy fleet, and then ordered.

"The fleet is receiving the enemy at a 15-degree angle, and all artillery is ready to be launched. The target enemy flagship, the No. 5 gun team is scrambling the fire!"

A cannon sounded.

A cannon located below the tail of the Skeleton Warrior was fired, and the black projectile drew a parabola in the air battle to shoot at the enemy's flagship "Yinglong".

Then it fell into the sea water 100 meters away from the Yinglong.

"Each gun group adjusts the angle, and all guns are ready to fire."

While the gunners of the Black Fire Fleet adjusted the angle of the artillery, the Yinglong also fired a test-fire shell.

The shells flew over the Skeleton Warrior.

The sailors on the Shifei battleship are also very skilled.

"fire!"

Amid a series of rumbling sounds, thick smoke rose from the side of the Black Fire Fleet, and a row of projectiles formed a scattering surface and flew towards Shi Fei's main fleet.

Water columns aroused on the water surface where Shi Fei’s main fleet was located.

The main fleet of Shifei, covered by artillery shells, immediately counterattacked with a volley of artillery.

Artillery roared on the sea, and the rising water columns set off a white water curtain around the two fleets.

The two fleets poured shells into each other and quickly approached on the route at an angle.

Gradually, the three sloop warships behind Shi Fei's main fleet lost their shooting angle. As the distance approached, the Black Fire Fleet's firepower advantage was revealed.

The first firepower group led by Daliang desperately thought about the three-masted battleships and two double-masted battleships of Shi Fei's main fleet pouring shells, while the second firepower group commanded by Sidney carried out concentrated fire attacks on the enemy's sloops one by one.

The three-masted warships and the two-masted warships have thick hulls, and iron armor plates are also hung on the waterline. The 12-pound shells fired by the iron smoothbore gun cannot cause too much damage to their hulls in a short period of time.

The hull of the sloop is much weaker, and the 12-pound shell can easily penetrate the sloop at a close distance.

当双方的距离进入三百米的时候,西德尼指挥的40门火炮用两轮齐射就把一艘单桅战舰打停在海面上.

The Black Fire Fleet's firepower advantage began to highlight its power. Shi Fei ordered a sloop to fill the vacant position, and then ordered the fleet's route to go east to try to lure the Black Fire Fleet away from the coastline.

The position of 200-300 meters can exert the artillery advantages of the Black Fire Fleet. Seeing Shi Fei's fleet change direction, Daliang ordered the Black Fire Fleet to stick to the opponent and bit the "Yinglong" tightly without letting go.

Just now, Daliang had already seen Shi Fei on this three-masted battleship through the telescope. It was obvious that this three-masted battleship belonged to Shi Fei. As long as he held the ship and played to the death, Shi Fei would show up any trump card.

Attracted by Shifei's main fleet, the Black Fire Fleet began to stay away from the coastline.

The sloops of the lords' Combined Fleet were impatiently encircled the Black Fire Fleet. They lined up battle lines and moved towards the head and tail of the Black Fire Fleet, hoping to severely damage the enemy fleet at the t-head.

The Blackfire Fleet began to carry out large serpentine maneuvers.

It is difficult for the sloop battleship formation to form concentrated firepower. The Blackfire Fleet quickly changes its navigation direction with its elite sailors to avoid too much shell damage from the head and tail of the warship. At the same time, it uses artillery on both sides to attack the sloop battleships head-on and tail.

From the overall situation, the lords' joint fleet seemed to have completed the encirclement of the Black Fire Fleet, but on the actual battlefield, the Black Fire Fleet still has an absolute advantage in firepower in a local area through its neat queues and changing navigation.

One sloop after another was destroyed and stopped on the water, but the lords' joint fleet seemed to have caused no major damage to the enemies in the encirclement.

Shu Xiao and the Judgment Army closely protected the overhead of the Black Fire Fleet.

After experiencing many naval battles with Daliang, Shu Xiao has a certain understanding of the situation of the naval battle.

In the naval battle below, Daliang's fleet had trapped the main force of the lord's joint fleet. A sloop warship behind their main fleet was also replaced, and the sloop warships added later could not even be found in the fierce artillery fire.

The enemy's three-masted warship and two double-masted warships have been isolated, while the outer group of sloops can only circle the battlefield in the middle and desperately fill the warships into the battlefield to attract the firepower of the Daliang fleet and rescue the main ship.

Above the sea, warships fought fiercely, and balls of gunpowder rose and filled the sky.

During the battle in the air, Shu Xiao clearly felt that his opponent had increased the attack strength. They had already felt the pressure in naval battles and wanted to open the situation from the air, and then reverse the passiveness on the sea surface while gaining air supremacy.

The ruling army was guarding tightly over the Black Fire Fleet. Since the naval battle situation was beneficial to our side, there was no need to fight against the enemy in the air.

Shi Fei stood on the bridge of the Yinglong. Now his main fleet is only the three-masted warship and the two two-masted warships behind. The good defense allows them to maintain combat effectiveness, while the sloops that support the warships are separated by artillery fire far behind.

Now Daliang's fleet has shortened the distance of the fire to within 200 meters, and a sloop can't hold on to a volley.

"How is this possible! The formation is compact and the firing frequency is high. It can be said that the system navy is of high quality, but what is going on with such a brilliant on-site route change? The player has just been exposed to navigation now, and all naval combat tactics are still exploring. If air command requires talent, naval combat command will rely more on experience in addition to talent. In the current game, in terms of command ability and experience in naval combat, no player can surpass me.

But...how did Daliang do it?

If I hadn't seen Daliang on the other party's flagship, I would have suspected that I was fighting fire in the same system."

Shi Fei didn't know that Daliang was tortured by Sidney more than ten times in deduction for this battle. Daliang learned how to deal with any tactical changes in the lord's joint fleet.

Therefore, Shi Fei guessed nothing wrong. Now it was an excellent naval battle commander who was bullying him through Daliang.

Frequent shootings caused the Yinglong to bump violently, and the quality gap between sailors made the Yinglong fired at a lower frequency than the Blackfire Fleet.
