Yes, at a distance of 1,000 meters, the accuracy of the optical sight on the Bunas 1 battleship can be described as amazing.
If you still can't hit the target at this distance, then Tang Mo's technical drawings from later generations would be better off being burned.
The sailors on the battleship Bunas 1 did not even feel that the battle had actually broken out at this moment.
They just stick to their respective posts and operate the machines and equipment in front of them exactly as they did in the drill.
But in the distance, where the Bunas 1 battleship passed, two armed transport ships from the Poplar Kingdom were already struggling on the edge of sinking.
The Bunas 1 did not intend to give the two enemy ships a chance to struggle. When its slender side passed the two enemy ships, the 75mm cannons deployed on both sides opened fire.
In order to maintain the follow-up combat effectiveness, only four artillery fired their shells, and the two sailing ships that were still struggling in place were completely finished this time.
Just after the explosion, the two sailboats rolled over, and soon the water engulfed their hulls, leaving only fragments of wooden planks and sails undulating on the sea.
The elven ships that followed were all turning around. They had seen the sinking of the two friendly ships in front of them, and were trying to think of ways to use their side cannons to counterattack.
The steering allows them to expose a larger side, and at the same time gives up the central axis to Bunas 1, which is preparing to shoot left and right.
The tail gun of Bunas 1, which rushed into the center of the fleet like a tiger, had also been turned to the port side, and was aimed at a warship that was moving away.
This shot also hit the target, because the distance between the two sides was actually only a short 700 meters.
The opponent's solid artillery shells also flew over. Unfortunately, due to the aiming and violent maneuvers, most of these shells flew into the sea and had no effect at all.
The sailboat that was hit by one shot immediately lost the ability to turn. The stern rudder was directly smashed. They could only rely on changing the direction of the sail to maintain an unstable straight sailing ability.
On the other side, the two 120mm cannons on the bow of Bunas 1 once again spurted out tongues of flame. The mast of the Elf sailboat not far away fell down, its hull cracked, and it capsized and sank into the sea.
To the despair of these elven sailors and captains, the shells they fired seemed unable to shake the terrifying devil ship in front of them. They watched as a shell bounced off the opponent's hull and fell into the
In the sea water next to it.
As the battle continued, the artillery on the opponent's side also joined the battle. The elves who originally thought that the number of artillery on the opponent's side was insufficient, also completely collapsed.
"Quick! Quick! Speed up! No need to turn! Leave the fleet! Escape from here!" A captain shouted in fear as he watched the friendly ship in front of him shatter into pieces and capsize on the sea.
He is not a real naval commander. He is just commanding an armed merchant ship. There is no need to risk his life with such a terrifying warship here.
In fact, an Elf transport ship had already raised a white flag of surrender and surrendered to this powerful battleship that had never been seen before.
Just kidding, even if the other party is a pirate, after taking away the goods on the ship, most likely they will not kill them all. This is to give some face to the Yangmu Kingdom, which is often active at sea. At this time, they will not fight to the death at all costs.
But just when everyone was about to hoist the white flag and donate the goods, the black battleship opened fire again.
The battleship flying the white flag, which everyone originally thought was fine, was hit directly this time, and then the hull disintegrated and the mast fell into the sea.
This time, the elves who were thinking of surrendering completely gave up on this idea, because the other party did not seem to intend to rob, but was carrying out a massacre!
"Quick! Signal the ships next to you! Spread out and run away! Spread out and run away!" The elf captain, who was losing his life, gave a loud order to the flagman.
Now, they are running away separately so that the other party cannot pursue them. This may be their last way to survive.
It's a pity that by the time I thought of this escape idea, it was already too late! There are only 15 sailboats here, and now 7 of them have become wrecks on the sea.
Most of the remaining 8 ships are within the attack range of the Bunas 1 battleship. Although they are divided into two parts, it takes time to turn and escape.
This time is obviously longer than that of the Bunas 1 battleship turning its turret. So when these battleships finally completed the turn, all four battleships on one side had been sunk.
Seeing the black-smoking warship abandoning the four friendly warships that had lost the ability to move and rushing towards them at extremely high speeds, the sailors on the four merchant ships here closed their eyes in despair.
The speed of the ship simply exceeded their imagination - they didn't realize it when they were facing each other, but now it had turned into a pursuit battle. Only then did the elven sailors realize how huge the speed difference between the two sides was.
The opponent's speed was at least three times theirs. This was really a frustrating battle in which they couldn't fight or run away.
Obviously, the warship did not intend to let them go. During the pursuit, the warship fired frequently, sinking all four of their warships.
What made them even more desperate was that the giant ship that hit fifteen people one by one did not rush to leave. Instead, it brutally smashed the wreckage of a sailboat lying on the water, and at the same time used unknown types of weapons.
, shooting wildly at the elves struggling in the sea.
Most of these elven merchant ships carry iron ingots and steel ingots that are urgently needed by the Yangmu Kingdom, and some carry food and gold coins, so most of them travel slowly.
They had no fighting ability, but they encountered a steel battleship on the sea. Naturally, they were defeated.

own mobility.
As a result, this fleet was completely sunk by the Bunas 1 battleship in less than an hour.
It is actually not that unusual to be able to achieve such a result through mental arithmetic and unintentional calculations. At least the opponent was not fully prepared to fight from the beginning.
Boxes of gold coins and iron ingots stacked together sank to the bottom of the sea along with the sunken ship. Within an hour, the elves' losses were estimated to exceed 80,000 gold coins!
This money also includes the construction costs of the 15 armed merchant ships themselves. If you include the sailors and the time lost in navigation, the direct loss even exceeds 100,000 gold coins.
If the Augustine family of the Yangmu Kingdom knew that just one debt collection operation had caused them to spit out all the 100,000 gold coins they owed, they would definitely regret their original decision.
If they had asked John to hand it over with money, Tang Mo might have transferred the blueprints and technology of the C64 howitzer to them.
It is a pity that there is no if in this world, and the elves cannot have a chance to regret. They have to pay the price for their actions, a price they cannot afford.
"Continue to search north along the route! All the ships of the Yangmu Kingdom that we catch up with will be sunk!" Glancing at the wreckage on both sides, the captain of the Bunas 1 battleship ordered coldly.
Then, Bunas 1 began to turn and soon disappeared on the sea level. Only then did another fleet of ships stagger and appear from the sea level on the other side.
The huge sail was very conspicuous, and soon seven or eight ships from another Elf Kingdom discovered this battlefield.
An Elf sailor leaned against the railing of the ship in surprise, looking at the royal flag belonging to the Poplar Kingdom floating on the water.
"Oh my god... they... what on earth have they experienced..." Looking at the exposed fins of the sharks attracted by the blood on the sea, as well as the odds and ends on the broken ships, an elf sailor couldn't bear it.
He exclaimed in surprise.
They could see the broken planks on the ship, as well as some undulating railings and window lattice.
Of course, they can also see bodies floating on the sea.
Finally, they saw a living man floating on the sea holding a piece of wood, so the sailors fished the man out in a hurry.
"Hey! What exactly did you encounter? Is it a pirate?" The captain pushed aside the sailors surrounding the victim, looked down at the drowned man, who could not be said to be a lucky or unfortunate survivor, and asked.
The elf sailor who was lucky enough to survive sat slumped on the deck, as if he had lost his soul, and did not answer the questions of his savior.
"I'm asking you a question!" Obviously, the captain was a little impatient. He went up and kicked the sailor who was soaked by the sea water, and cursed fiercely: "Asshole!"
"Devil! Devil! They are coming! They are firing! Hahaha! Devil! They are catching up with me! They are catching up with me! Hahahaha! Cough cough cough! Hahaha!" Suddenly, the elf who fell into the water waved his hand.
He raised his arms as if to drive something away, and he laughed wildly and shouted.
His madness startled the people around him, and everyone quickly moved away from him. Only then did they realize that the sailor was obviously crazy.
He was just waving his arms there, shouting and laughing crazily. I don't know what it was that scared a sailor who had the courage to challenge the sea to look like this.
"He's crazy." A sailor looked down at the poor man who had lost his mind and shook his head.
Suddenly, this crazy sailor jumped up from the deck. He suddenly got close to the old sailor, and whispered to the other man's face with a half-smile: "They are coming for you! Bang, bang, bang...
...Did you hear that? That sound! They are coming for you!"
