The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

And at this moment, in the naval port.

After the first round of artillery attack was launched, the Yan soldiers did not stop for a moment and immediately carried out the second round of shooting in full swing. From this round onwards, they also changed their shooting method. The artillery fire will be carried out in a staggered manner in an effort to continue the firepower.

Although there are a large number of artillery pieces deployed, the enemy fleet is not incompetent. Their warships are quite large and are not inferior to the Fu ships. In addition, the most important thing is that there are enough enemy warships, so continuous bombardment is needed to cause sufficient damage to the enemy ships.

Now the Yan soldiers are busy loading the shells into the boring tube. The chamber has already been filled with gunpowder. As the fuse is ignited, the shells are fired from the three-meter-long boring tube with a loud bang!

"Bang bang bang!"

Another burst of dense artillery shells was fired towards the sea!

In land-to-sea combat, the Yan Army's greatest advantage is not the power and quantity of its artillery, but the fortifications they are in.

Although this naval port was built by the previous dynasty in recent years, it is indeed strong enough. The outer walls of the building complex are built with a large amount of bluestone mixed with glutinous rice paste and lime mortar.

And because it is a near-shore fortification, moisture-proofing was taken into consideration before consolidation and expansion. Therefore, most of the buildings in the naval port are made of dry hard stone, with very little use of wood and even little use of iron. However, the strength of this brick wall is definitely much higher than that of pig iron.

Protected by thick and solid walls, the gunners inside could only stick out their boring barrels, and the safety of the gunners was greatly improved. At this moment, the shells fired from the sea continued to bombard the city walls, but they could not shake them at all, and could only shake off some of the lime on the walls.

Of course, some long-range artillery shells were fired in a parabolic form above the naval port, but the troops on the outer edge of the naval port had already been withdrawn, and the Yan soldiers stayed in the bunkers to shoot. However, there were also gun muzzles on the outer edge. After the enemy's firepower was suppressed, the Yan soldiers would push the artillery to the outer edge to shoot.

What we need to do now is to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy ship!

Different from the scene of continuous gunfire outside, there were not many noisy sounds inside the naval port at this moment. The soldiers were very calm. They were just loading and shooting in an orderly manner, repeating this process over and over again.

Although not every shell fired into the sea will hit a warship, as long as the number is large enough, it will still bring about a qualitative change.

Unlike the Yan Army, although there are a large number of warships from various countries on the sea and most of them have strong defenses, they are not as solid as the buildings on land. Therefore, in just a short while, after the Yan Army fired tens of thousands of artillery shells, some warships began to tilt.

Those were warships of the Sea Lion Fleet. One of the warships had extremely bad luck and was hit by twenty or thirty shells one after another. That would have been fine, if it had not been hit at critical positions, the hull would not have sunk in a short time even if it had been severely damaged. Unfortunately, several of the shells that penetrated the hull accidentally hit the gunpowder room on the second deck.

For main battleships equipped with artillery like this, each ship will have a gunpowder chamber in the cabin. Soldiers need a large amount of gunpowder to replenish when firing artillery, so this gunpowder chamber is of utmost importance. When the gunpowder chamber was blasted open, although it did not burn immediately, the gunpowder was spilled everywhere.

The gunners on the middle and lower decks were still lighting fuses and firing, when someone clumsy enough accidentally dropped a source of fire, which immediately caused a huge fire.

The gunpowder instantly began to burn from inside the hull, so the sailors in the bottom cabins fled out in a hurry. The watertight compartments at the bottom of the ship were also burned through, followed by the collapse of the entire hull. In addition, there were shells fired from outside the ship from time to time, and the warship finally sank gradually.

The ship was about to sink, and the people on board had no choice but to jump into the sea to escape. So an extremely spectacular scene appeared on this second-class warship belonging to Hungary. Hundreds of people jumped into the sea like dumplings from the warship that was set on fire. Desperate shouts kept ringing. After all, jumping into the sea was by no means a safe escape route. This place was three or four nautical miles from the coast, which was more than five kilometers away.

Not to mention whether you can swim to the shore, even if you do, you will undoubtedly die.

This has always been the case with naval battles. The sinking of a ship means the death of hundreds or thousands of people. The various nations have a total of thousands of warships on this voyage, but at sea, it is equivalent to an army of a thousand people.

Augustus, who was on the "Pearl of Wayne", received reports from his subordinates that several of their warships had begun to sink. Some of them caught fire, and some of them had too much damage to the lower hull, causing seawater to flow back and begin to sink. One piece of unfavorable news after another made Augustus's ambitions vanish.

His face was pale as he walked around the cabin, but he didn't know what to do at this moment.

In fact, he was reluctant to evacuate just like that. After all, the naval port was nearby, and other fleets were organizing a fierce attack. Perhaps once the enemy's firepower was suppressed, they could rush ashore in one go.

But unfavorable news came one after another, and Augustus was like a grasshopper on hot pot, anxious and worried. At a certain moment, he suddenly remembered the evacuated Rose Fleet.

"damn it!!!"

"Why didn't you sea cucumbers say it earlier!!!" His face flushed and he roared angrily.

-

"Marshal...you...you have indeed considered everything very carefully."

"I didn't expect that Daqian would deploy so many artillery pieces at the port. Looking at the intensity of the firepower, if we hadn't evacuated, we would have been in real danger."

On the Rose Fleet, on the Lightning, Leto withdrew his gaze from the rear and looked at Lucat.

Leto had a complicated expression at this moment, but most of it was shame. He felt ashamed of his previous thoughts. After all, if Lucat had not gone against the crowd and insisted on evacuating, they would definitely be under fierce artillery attacks now.

From this point, although Leto could not fully see the specific details of the naval battle, the sound of artillery fire never stopped and its intensity was beyond imagination. It goes without saying that these fleets on the sea must be suffering a major blow.

The Rose Fleet, which had already moved away from the naval port, was now safe and sound, and had completely escaped from this naval battle.

It must be said that this was all thanks to Lucat. His careful consideration and judgment of the situation successfully saved the fleet from danger.

But at this moment——

Leto noticed that Lucat's face did not look very good. He was still pale, and his eyes were full of impatience and anxiety.

"We are not out of danger yet, don't be too happy." At this time, Lucat suddenly said.

Laito's expression instantly became serious. Now he trusted Lucat unconditionally.

Lukat frowned and said in a muffled voice: "The naval port is just their first front line."

"The second front must come from the sea. They didn't stop us before so that we could get closer to the military port. The evacuating warships must have gone around there!"

Lucat pointed to the sea area to the south.

Then, he took a deep breath and said nervously, "Daqian not only wants to fight a naval battle with us, they are even planning to leave us all behind!"

Hearing this, Leto was startled and looked towards the sea in the direction of Lucat's finger.
