Infinite Journey to the World of American Comics

"Prepare" "Prepare" "Prepare"...

The battle line with ten battleships as the core finally ushered in their first wave of enemies. The fleet led by Guo Po saw that their boss had entered the battle line. They thought they had found a backer and rushed towards the formation in all directions. He got in without paying any attention to the red flag warship following closely behind him.

500 meter

300 meter

100 meter

"fire"

A third-level battleship has two rows of artillery decks and 64 to 74 artillery pieces. In other words, when facing the enemy from the side, at least 32 artillery pieces can fire at the same time. This is the same number of artillery pieces as the entire old lock ship. , let alone those smaller ships, and how could the men led by Mrs. Guo imagine that these friendly fires would attack them first.

The round cannonballs roared over a distance of 100 meters and landed on those Guangzhou ships and old lock ships. Human bodies, canvas, and wood, nothing could stop their progress. Oh, wood seemed to be more effective. When they penetrated After passing through the first layer of planks, it was finally blocked by the second layer of planks, but on the way back, it broke another sailor's leg.

"Ah, my hand"

"My eyes, I can't see anything"

"My head.."

Oh, this is not it, this cross is broken, the headless one is speechless. In short, with just one round of artillery fire, the men led by Guo Po suffered a devastating blow. Those who can shout are considered lucky, but the really unlucky ones It was the kind that made no sound. Some shells opened holes directly under the waterline of the warship. Seawater poured in quickly. Many of the sailors in the cabin were submerged by the seawater before they could even run out.

Seeing the miserable situation of his subordinates, Guo Podai clenched his fists. In addition to anger, he also felt a trace of happiness in his heart. He was glad that he entered the battle line in time. What would be the result if he directly collided with the battle line like this? Probably he can survive two more rounds of bombardment than these unlucky men.

The battle line continued to move forward, and subsequent armed merchant ships also joined the battle line. Although they only had 24 to 40 guns, there was no problem in finishing the work, especially after a round of bombardment by the battleships. There are not many targets left.

At this time, the warships of the Red Flagship also came closer. But unfortunately, in this era, no matter what kind of warship it is, its frontal bombardment capability is very weak. Therefore, facing the British battle line , they also had to turn the ship horizontally and engage in gunfire with the enemy.

It's a pity that this kind of confrontation is just a poison to quench their thirst. The battleships in front have already begun to turn. Once the battle line formed by those guys returns again, what will greet them will be the same ending as the battleships with black flags just now. Therefore, the British believed that this was a certainty.

At this time, a strange sight caught the attention of the lookout. He had been watching the movement of Mrs. Qing's main fleet and discovered a strange phenomenon. A white line was approaching Mrs. Qing's fleet at high speed.

He hurriedly raised his telescope and looked over the white line. What appeared in the lens was a black warship. From the appearance, this warship looked very similar to the pirates' old lock ship, but the stern The white line told him that this was no ordinary old lock ship.

"Sir, the enemy has a high-speed warship approaching the battlefield."

"High-speed battleship" Vincent was stunned, frowned, and hurriedly came to the side of the ship and looked in the direction pointed by the lookout.

At first, there were only ordinary warships in his sight. Soon, he found the ship the lookout mentioned.

There was no way, it was too conspicuous. On the seas of the [-]th century, a warship with a bow that could raise several meters of water was the most handsome among the ships no matter where it went.

This is the secret weapon of the pirates. I never heard that Mrs. Qing has such a strange ship. Even the Black Pearl can't match this speed.

Wait, is it that ironclad ship? Are you kidding me? A ship covered in armor can run so fast.

In fact, Mrs. Qing and the others had just learned about this. The Zhiyuan passed through the pirate fleet like a sports car rushing into a group of bicycles. The waves raised almost caused the ships on both sides to collide, and no one had time. While saying hello to the people on the ship, Zhiyuan had already passed by Mrs. Qing's flagship and rushed to the front.

"Madam, this is Mr. Li's iron ship." Mrs. Qing's men stared blankly at Zhiyuan who was going away, and asked blankly. This speed was beyond his understanding.

"Yes, didn't you just see Zhang Baozai who was vomiting on the side of the boat?" Although it was the first time for Mrs. Qing to see him, she had already recovered her calm demeanor because of her extensive experience.

"Why is this ship sailing so fast?"

"Extraordinary people naturally have extraordinary qualities, and it is normal for them to create extraordinary ships."

"Uh, madam, would it be dangerous if Mr. Li and the others were to fight against the enemy in one boat?"

"....I also want to reinforce him. The question is, which of our ships can catch him?"

......

The British on the other side also focused their attention on the Reach, and even Sir Walder put down his teacup and came to the side of the ship.

"Captain Vincent, that is the pirate's ironclad ship"

"should be."

"Are you sure you can defeat it?"

"Don't worry, sir, no matter how good the ship is, it still needs people to control it. You see, most of their sailors and helmsmen are on the deck. Maybe the ship is bulletproof, but the people on it will never be bulletproof. As long as they enter the cannon's With so many warships in the range, we will definitely be able to teach them a lesson that one warship cannot determine the direction of the war."

"That's good, Mr. Captain, go take command. I'm waiting for news of victory." After saying that, Sir Walder twisted his plump ass and got into the captain's cabin.

"Cannon Ready"

"Cannon loaded"

"Target the enemy ship"

"Aim completed"

"Listen to my command and prepare."

boom

"Who fired the shot?"

"Captain, the cannon was fired from the opposite side..."

"Ha, it turns out you're a rookie. He's wasting such a good ship by firing cannons from such a distance."

嗖

A dark shadow passed over Vincent's head, taking away his hat and wig, revealing his Mediterranean-like hairstyle.

Touching his bald head, Vincent was a little dazed, "What just flew over?"

"It looks like a cannonball, Captain..."

"...from the ironclad ship."

"should be..."

"Its artillery can shoot so far." Gudong, Vincent swallowed. Looking at the turning ironclad ship in the distance, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
