Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 482: 4 gunsmoke incidents

"Extraordinary Sailing ()" to find the latest chapters!

Because of the moving speed of conventional sailing warships.

It wasn't until 9:12 in the morning that the ship's more dexterous Alliance battle line seized the upper hand, opposing the wing on the left side of the Hilius Crescent across the sea.

And with the advantage of its own shipboard artillery being more sophisticated (better airtightness and longer effective range), it took the lead in launching an artillery attack.

"Each artillery group prepares for three rounds of rapid firing of solid bullets!"

The gunners of each battleship repeated the commander's order and greeted each other in accordance with the traditional battlefield etiquette of the Old Continent.

Under the operation of skilled artillery, there are two types of heavy guns on the Tulip Battleship that can inflict heavy blows on enemy ships: 32-pounder and 24-pounder, with a rate of fire of 2 rounds per minute and 3 rounds per minute respectively.

This is a speed beyond the reach of the people of Hilius.

Boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! ...

Suddenly, the blazing cannon flames connected into a sea of ​​flames, the light blue smoke filled the clouds, and even the entire ocean groaned overwhelmingly.

While the Hilius soldier on the opposite side fought back without showing any weakness, at this distance, the steel knight's very disturbed head, which looked dead, was clearly seen by them.

Steel knight Kungang Taita is the deputy commander of the fleet, and almost no one in the entire Hilius fleet does not know him.

The left wing of the Crescent Formation was in an uproar seeing the head that was constantly swaying from the mast. The soldiers were hit harder than that round of rapid-fire shelling, and even the sound of the gunfire when they returned the fire was obviously messy.

The decisive battle is still in the warm-up stage. The deputy commander of the fleet has already lost his opponent. If he is still alive, it is real. The third person after the army commander Ricard and the navy commander Griffiths. .

Hilius as the flagship of the third-tier ship "San Juan".

"Your Excellency Commander?"

The adjutant couldn't help asking about the gray-haired top commander of the fleet.

Rickard's face is equally ugly, but not because of the news of the death of the Steel Knight, but because of his negative influence on the battle. Even as a royal party, what the general said was merciless:

"The **** Kungang...why can't you die further? Order the San Juan to leave the team and sail on its own!"

"But..."

"Execute the command!"

In order to facilitate the command of the commander, the "San Juan" has been patrolling back and forth along the entire Crescent Formation consisting of forty warships. If it is replaced by a large fleet consisting of hundreds of warships, it will generally be patrolled by several deputy commanders and commanders in the fleet.

The third-tier ship "San Juan", serving as the commander’s seat, is the largest of the three-tier battleships in the entire fleet, not to mention the fact that it still has the flag of the fleet commander, which is really conspicuous. but.

However, after leaving the team for self-propulsion, he lost the cover of the fleet and was directly exposed in front of the alliance battle line.

In the history of naval battles in various countries, there has never been a precedent of a ship alone being surrounded by enemy forces but not being occupied by a ship. For the party with the superior local combat power, when the goal is of great value, gang warfare is the only way to ensure that the spoils are won intact.

Rickard believed that it would be weird if the Alliance forces could hold back their own decoy and not lean over.

At that time, as long as you can hook an enemy ship with a hook and lock and pull into the battle, you can independently support it until the reinforcements arrive. Finally, the enemy fleet was dragged into a melee, which is the "sea siege warfare" that Hilius is best at.

Then...the battle can be over.

However, since they are both Nemansters, their innate endowments must be the same. Why are the Hiliuss inherently superior in combat effectiveness?

In addition to the advanced training methods and management concepts, the most important reason is to search for resources around the world to support our own troops. In the knight apprentice stage, the growth of physical fitness comes more from the intake of nutrients, supplemented by the practice of knight breathing and swordsmanship.

With sufficient supply of resources, even if the population base of Hilius itself is not dominant, the energy source is endless to cultivate extraordinary people at all levels far surpassing the number of others.

In terms of soldiers' combat strength, there is indeed an overall gap between Tulip and Overlord Hilius.

Lieutenant General Elvis understood Ricard's plan. He was under heavy pressure in this war, and it was of course a great temptation for him to be able to destroy the enemy's command system.

However, the current strength comparison between the two sides does not allow him to make a single mistake. The dominant Hilius can be more aggressive, and the alliance may be completely defeated if only one negligence is required.

"The Maywind, Albatross, and Oak at the end of the team faced off, and the other ships kept their formation and continued to move forward."

He resisted the desire for that sweet fruit, did not encircle him, but separated a squadron from the battle line consisting of 33 battleships.

Don't ask for merit, but ask for nothing!

In the horrified gaze of the Hilius, the battleships in the battle line acted like clouds and flowing water.

Every warship knows what it should do at a certain moment, some turn to leave the team, and some automatically substitute. It seems that they have practiced countless times in advance of the extremely difficult warships at sea.

"Navy command technology of this level..."

Lieutenant General Ricard's eyes were slightly narrowed, which seemed old but sharp, and even he had to be shocked by the skill of the tulip.

These warships are far more flexible than the "walls" of Hilius, with excellent maneuverability, and an invisible master commander to dispatch them calmly. Because he didn't find any signal flags, horns, or anything else capable of command.

The three Tier 4 ships did not move forward. They maintained a distance of about 300 meters along with the current, maintaining the wind direction and flexibility, and only fought this flagship with long-range artillery.

"Change the boat downwind, let's go downwind to stop it!"

The "May Wind" at the top of this sub-queue did not allow it to switch course, and blocked the "San Juan" on the way to retreat.

Ger and Elantra, who had put on the brigadier general uniform, were among them.

The remaining thirty warships continued to move forward and fought fiercely with the left wing of the Crescent Formation.

The continuous artillery roars.

Another Tier 3 ship in the Hilius fleet raised its command flag and temporarily took over command.

The key to battle line tactics is to obey command and fight bravely. The key to success or failure lies in persistence. Whoever can't stand to break away from the "chain" will lose the possibility of a comeback.

With the current attack power of the artillery, this process may take a long time.

At the same time.

A group of sailors armed with rifled Kentucky rifles quietly climbed onto the main masts of their respective battleships, and quietly aimed the sights on the opposite side.

Kentucky is characterized by a longer gun body, smaller caliber, lighter weight, and high precision. Although it also has shortcomings such as slow loading and high cost, it is a rare weapon in the hands of the right person.

Just like this group of sharpshooters who have been re-recruited after experiencing training in the wilderness of the New World.

Long distance may not be as good as a sniper rifleman, but you can use a cold gun when the battle line is blasting. It does not require every bullet to destroy an enemy. As long as you can kill an enemy officer, it is a big profit. .

The transcendent can hide bullets according to the muzzle, but on the battlefield where the cannonballs fly horizontally, they will kneel down as if being hit by an inadvertent stray bullet.

Bang——

The battle is completely opened.

Maybe the outcome of this battle will not only determine the position of Hilius and Tulip on the sea, but also the development trend of future naval battle equipment and tactics.

Whose route is more correct, you will know at a try.

......

Thousands of cannons blasted together, as if the sea was about to be shattered.

"Spectacular!"

On the quasi-legendary battleship "Cape Storm" responsible for peripheral mobile operations, Ivan, Olivia, and most of the officers have seen this level of battleship offensive and defensive warfare for the first time in their lives.

The refinement of tactics, command capabilities, equipment application, etc. is even more difficult to describe.

The spiritual network built by the seagulls will faithfully record the bits and pieces that happened on the battlefield, and will be used by Aiwen to review and learn after the war, turning it into his most precious experience.

After seeing the "Maywind" join the siege of the "San Juan" sequence, Ivan said to Olivia next to him:

"Hersey, pay attention to support!"

"Understood!"

The heroic female officer has already set up the "electromagnetic gun" on the tail tower, and can support any corner of the battlefield at any time. The priority of Gehr and Elantra is even higher than that of the commander.

At the same time.

Wow, wow...

The "Longsnout Mackerel" that once set the "Storm Horn" dove has dragged a long white line and rushed over quickly.

The battle belonging to the "horn of the storm" began.

......

The battle site was in the northern part of the Gulf of Benin, the largest port in Nigeria, the Falitis colony-Lagos.

Almost at the same time the battle started.

"Holy Grace of the Lord!"

"All things belong to the Lord!"

"Ula--"

A batch of swarthy indigenous warriors rushed to the port in small boats and roared. Obviously, this is the reason why the Dahomey Kingdom, which has completely resembled Hilius, did not even appear on the battlefield. .

Almost all the main warships of the Alliance have been put on the battlefield, and only a few offshore cruisers stayed behind, and it is impossible to stop these black natives.

This is the plot of Sirius. No one said that the frontal fleet battle and the backfighting battle cannot be carried out at the same time. No matter whether the alliance's reconnaissance system finds an abnormality, it is impossible to withdraw from the battlefield and go back home.

For the Hilius, there is nothing you can't do in order to win.

Even if they were attacked by their extremely fearful alchemy artillery, what they lost would not be the lives of the Hilius.

According to the information of the Hilius, the Dahomey specially replaced the landing ships with a large number of small offshore sampans in order to prevent the alchemy artillery from being overwhelmed.

Hilius promised them that all the looting would go to Dahomey, and they would never interfere even if the tulip looters became slaves.

The painting of the pie is really good enough.

However, when they attacked the port as they wished, thinking that they would easily break this defensive and empty city as they had captured other indigenous tribes in the past, they were hit hard by reality.

The face of the female commander of the Dahomey Kingdom vividly showed what is colorful black:

"Why are there so many Alliance soldiers here?

Those who like to brag about the Hilius~IndoMTL.com~ don’t you mean that the Tulip Army has lost a lot now? "

The indigenous soldiers of the Dahomey Kingdom flooding the port city like a tide, they bumped into a large number of soldiers of the Union Army in a tight line.

Under the cover of gunfire from the harbor bastion.

Boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! ...

A military-standard rifle far superior to the trade rifle. It can send out raging flames, and the hot lead bullets are like a steel dam to block the black tide firmly.

In a special period, even the governor of the colony, Sir Winston, came to the city head in person, and he was slightly relieved when he saw the battle:

"I am a little grateful that the information was timely and that these young men were able to pick up weapons alive to defend their homeland after recovering from their injuries."

The army commander next to him looked at the tide darker than the coal rich in Nigeria, and said quietly:

"Your Excellency, I am even more grateful that the Anuma people did not hold back until night before launching a night attack..."

"Uh...you are right."

According to the normal war damage ratio of wounded soldiers in this era, the casualties in the war with Hilius may indeed be large, but it is certainly not as exaggerated as the Hilius and Anuma people said.

Together with the popularity of "magic medicine" throughout the colonies of the Southern Continent, many soldiers who were destined to die have survived.

Before the start of the final battle, the alliance base camp had already begun to move towards the center of the whirlpool, the Gulf of Benin, and the wounded soldiers were no exception.

So, of course, the Dahomey commander would feel that the actual situation was seriously inconsistent with the Hilius intelligence, and the **** Hilius simply pushed Dahomey down the fire pit.

Looking at the own soldier who was hit head-on, the commander's heart as the king's concubine was already bleeding.

Ivan: Well, blame me?
