“The enemy trebuchet is coming!”

Amid the screams, the heavy boulders thrown from the Ansmara Navy rolled and flew toward the advancing First Fleet. The sailors on the sails first noticed them and shouted to the sailors below. Warning, but this did not allow the battleship to make evasive actions in time. In the sailors’ sight, the huge boulder fell from the sky and hit the sea next to the battleship, splashing a large spray of water, which almost wetted the sailor standing on the side of the ship.

Perhaps it was because it was a tentative shooting. The boulders shot by the enemy basically fell into the sea. The sailors on the Hawke gunboat were relieved. They hurriedly accelerated the speed of the warship’s navigation and at the same time controlled the artillery deployed on the bow to shoot at the enemy. .

The distance between the battleships of the two sides is getting shorter and shorter, and the accuracy of the boulders and giant crossbows projected by the Ansmara Navy has also increased. A Hawke gunboat was targeted by no less than three enemy ships during its high-speed voyage. A large number of boulders flew towards it and hit the hull of the gunboat, smashing the hull into a terrifying pit, and the stones were immediately destroyed. It bounced and fell into the water. Just when the sailors on the ship thought they had escaped, the ignited giant crossbow arrow flew at high speed, and it happened to pass through the hole that was smashed and hit the ammunition storehouse inside the cabin. In seconds, the ammunition depot was ignited, a deafening explosion sounded suddenly, the entire battleship was exploded from the middle, and everything including sailors and artillery on the ship was blown into the sky.

The shock wave generated by the explosion spread rapidly, and the sea water dissipated round after round. Several battleships close to the hapless battleship were affected by the blast wave. The sailors on it were blown down and fell on the deck. The shock wave The debris he brought was embedded heavily on the surface of the battleship, smashing small holes.

Wiping off the water that was dripping from the sky, a sailor quickly got up from the slippery deck. He looked at the wreckage of the warship that had fallen into pieces and slowly sank in horror. He opened his mouth and just wanted to say something, but saw from the sky. He dropped a long red thing and slumped directly on his neck. The slippery greasy touch suddenly made him get goose bumps. He quickly reached out and pulled the thing off and brought it to his eyes. At first glance, his face was pale in shock, it was clearly the intestines of the person who was blown into the sky!

He quickly threw his intestines to the ground, and then ran to the side and retched, but he was destined to be unable to vomit anything. When he was bent over and clutched his stomach and retched, a few boulders fell from the sky and hit him heavily. On the deck of this battleship, the sailors who could not dodge above were smashed to death alive. After smashing a few people to death, the boulder followed its inertia and popped a few meters away. The scene was full of blood.

Boom boom boom –

When they were attacked by the enemy’s ship-borne trebuchets, the Hawke’s gunboats also began to fight back. They used diagonal tactics to turn the bow of the ship from a distance, aiming the sideboard with multiple artillery at the enemy, and then launched a salvo. The shells flew at high speed on the sea and accurately hit the Ansmara warship less than two hundred meters away from them. As long as it was hit by more than one shell, the warship was basically scrapped.

While using the sideboard to launch, Hawke’s gunboats also advanced obliquely to both sides of the Ansmara Navy. They bombarded while advancing, shortening the distance between the two armies and preventing the enemy ship from catching up. They could only endure being beaten. . A cannonball flew out of the flared muzzle and crossed a hundred meters away, hitting a ship-borne trebuchet deployed on the deck of an Ansmara warship. The black cannonball smashed the wooden trebuchet. , The sawdust flew across, and the surrounding Ansmara sailors were also killed by the flying sawdust and debris. They screamed and fell to the ground. The shell was cast unabated, and a ship-carried tower collapsed before lying quietly in the ruins. Among.

…

With the passage of time, Ainsley Hutt, the Secretary of the Navy of the Republic on the “Poseidon” finally felt that something was wrong. He looked around and found that there were fewer and fewer warships surrounding the flagship, which was less than the original three-pointer. For one, he quickly looked backwards, only to discover in amazement that a large number of warship fragments and sailor corpses were already floating on the sea behind him. In addition to the warships surrounding the flagship, there are fewer and fewer own warships on the battlefield.

He also discovered that unknowingly, the Holy Roman Empire navy, which had a much lower number than his own side, had already made a gesture of faintly surrounding them. The side bombarded their fleet.

“Damn it! We are going to be surrounded!”

He roared, ignoring that the purpose of leading his troops here was to prevent the Holy Roman Empire Expeditionary Army from landing, and quickly ordered the remaining fifty warships to change directions and retreat to the south. The South Convenience was the direction they came from. The enemy ships there were the weakest and the most suitable direction to break through.

However, the Holy Roman Navy did not just watch them retreat. As they turned their directions, countless shells roared towards them, causing greater chaos. Because of the chaos, the ships ignored the orders issued by their flagships. The action caused several warships to collide with each other while turning, causing serious damage.

Taking advantage of this time, the First Fleet, which had already made an encirclement, rushed towards the chaotic Ansmara fleet while waving the colorful flags, approaching and shooting ~www.mtlnovel.com~ This undoubtedly further increased Ansmara. The chaos of people, their warships were crowded together at this moment and collided with each other. From time to time, some people fell from the deck to the sea because of violent collisions. .

In this chaotic situation, Ainsley’s flagship became the target of Hawke’s gunboats due to its huge size. Shells roared into the hull almost every second, and the reinforced hull could not withstand the shells. The impact caused the entire ship to be devastated and crumbling. Although the sailors on the flagship still stubbornly operated the ship-borne ballistas and catapults to counterattack the Hawke gunboat, they still failed to reverse the situation. After more than ten minutes, the flagship was seriously damaged, and a large amount of seawater poured in through the gap. The ship sinks slowly,

The sailors on the ship jumped over the side of the ship and jumped into the sea in an attempt to escape the sunken warship. They fell one by one like dumplings, splashing water. No one cares about them. Those surviving warships are already in danger. They can only choose to lower the flag of the Republic of Ansmara and replace it with a white flag after the violent shelling of the Hawke gunboat. .

As agreed, as the first warship raised the white flag, more and more warships surrendered. Upon seeing this, the Hawke gunboat stopped its shelling. They surrounded the Ansmara warships and docked next to the warships. They sent infantry equipped with flintlocks to board their decks and quickly took over the surrendered warships.
