As the commander of the Zituoluo Fleet, His Highness Duke Flor Carlos, was a little confused at this time.
According to the information observed by the lookout on the mast, the strange fleet opposite did not have many warships, only about twenty.
But those battleships are all white, which is a bit dazzling under the reflection of the sun, and they do not have a three-layer artillery deck like the Franco warship, only some artillery installed on the deck.
But the warship with the largest tonnage still looks a bit scary.
According to His Excellency Flo Carlos' understanding of the countries along the Mediterranean Sea, this fleet is no match for those of those countries.
But it would make sense if the other party was a disguised merchant ship.
Whether it is the Mighty Lion or the Aoshiman Empire, they can build a fleet of this size.
“Send out a clipper and ask them to stop for inspection!”
His Excellency Flor Carlos then issued an order to his herald.
“Yes! Dear Duke.”
The herald bowed and walked away.
Soon a Franji speedboat broke away from the fleet and headed towards the Star Sea Fleet.
Well, the negotiation process was not pleasant. In short, in the words of Wang Boyang, the commander of the Imperial China Sea Fleet, why should our great Star Sea Fleet listen to the orders of your Folangji people?
As the clippers were driven back, the Zituoluo fleet was immediately ready for battle. The gun deck windows of each warship were opened, the gun jackets covering the artillery were removed, and the artillerymen began to load gunpowder.
Solid cannonball.
The charge captains gathered their men on the deck merchant, inspected their swords and the muskets hanging on their waists, and prepared for a boarding battle after a collision with the enemy ship.
The Duke ordered the blood-red crossed swords charge flag to be raised.
Although it has experienced several failures in important naval battles, the French Navy still has not changed their old-fashioned naval battle concepts, and still uses boarding battles as the main method of naval battles. As for the artillery battle, haha, it is just the dessert before the two sides get close.
.
Under the guidance of such a concept of naval warfare, it is normal for the Franconian Navy to decline more and more.
In fact, at this time, the battleships of the Imperial Navy's naval fleet had already formed a battle line and locked their muzzles on the Folangji battleship.
Following Wang Boyang's order, the artillery on the battleship fired the shells one after another.
The huge recoil caused the battleship to move slightly laterally on the sea.
After a few seconds of flight, the cannonballs fell one after another, splashing water columns into the sky near the Folanji battleship.
In response to this sudden attack, everyone in the Zituoluo fleet, from the supreme commander, the Duke, to the sailors at the bottom, were stunned. They simply could not understand why the fleets of both sides were so far apart.
Why are water pillars appearing above me?
They only know that those water pillars rising into the sky should be related to the enemy.
But before the somewhat panicked Lord Duke could give any orders, the rapid-fire cannon on the Starship Battleship immediately turned on the rapid-fire mode after the test firing, sending shells one after another like a machine gun.
Due to the consistent calmness of the Imperial Sea, the fire control team of the Star Sea Battleship can easily calculate the difference between the impact point of the shell and the position of the enemy ship.
Hence, soon, one after another, the French warships were shattered into pieces under the bombardment of artillery shells.
There is no need to describe the whole process in detail.
The Starship Battleship, whose weapons are three to four hundred years more advanced than those of the Forang robots, only needs to lock on to the enemy fleet and fire its cannons continuously.
The Zituoluo fleet, which numbered more than 120 battleships, was completely destroyed in less than two hours.
There is still some time consumed by the Starship Battleship in pursuit.
With the complete destruction of the Zituoluo fleet, most of the battleships sank to the bottom of the sea, and the smaller half were captured, Fo Langji's Zituoluo fortress was like opening half of its collar.
Needless to say, there was no need to say much about the subsequent battle situation. When the Imperial Navy Fleet approached the Zituoluo Strait and bombarded the forts and fortresses on the shore, the army loaded on the transport ship behind them could only go ashore to act as a security check.
After the news of the change of hands of the Zituoluo Strait came back to Folangji, His Majesty King Folangji was furious. He immediately appointed his brother, another Duke, to lead the army and went out, vowing to recapture the Zituoluo Strait and give it to
The enemy you attack is a good look.
But Fo Langji's expedition force suffered heavy losses again in the Zituoluo Strait.
The world-famous Folangji phalanx was completely defeated by the artillery shells flying from a distance. More than 40,000 of the 50,000 elite Folangji soldiers were killed. The remaining Francoji soldiers who escaped had completely lost the courage to continue fighting.
The two newly formed divisions of the Xinghai Kingdom landed on the north shore of the Zituoluo Strait and pushed all the way across. Relying on weapons that were beyond this era, they reached Madili, the capital of Folangji, in one fell swoop.
His Majesty King Folangji fled in panic to the boundary of the blast furnace and called on the people of Folangji to rise up against the foreign invaders.
But what King Franji never expected was that after the Star Navy captured Madeli, they turned around and went straight to various ports, capturing all the ports along the coast of Franji.
Although the Xinghai Kingdom gave up its permanent occupation of Madeli, Franji did not lose all its ports in just one month.
At the same time, in the continuous naval battles, all the home fleets of Fo Langji were completely destroyed.
After losing all the ports and the shipyards attached to the ports, King Franji lost even the hope of rebuilding his fleet.
Under such circumstances, he could only send people to South America and mobilize colonial legions to return.
In January, the Franji Empire, known as the most powerful in the plane, fell, which caused the countries in Ouzhou to become extremely interested in the sudden appearance of the Star Navy fleet.
British, Blast Furnace, Power Lion and other countries have sent spies to Folangji, trying to find out the origin of this army.
What they never expected was that just as the senior officials of various countries were anxiously waiting for the spies' reports, the Star Sea Fleet suddenly attacked the ports of each country.
The navies of various countries launched a desperate struggle with the Star Sea Fleet. However, due to the huge gap in weapons and tactical thinking between the two sides, many warships from various countries were sunk in the port channel before they could even leave the port.
Most of Ouzhou's naval power was wiped out in just two months.
The gap in scientific and technological strength, a generation difference of more than three hundred years, caused the entire Ouzhou to tremble under the muzzle of the Star Sea Fleet.
Whether it is the British gentlemen, the Sun King of the Blast Furnace, the merchants of the Powerful Lion, or even the Lion Man Empire, they all feel the changes of the times.
With the end of this war, ships flying the Star and Sea flag began to appear in the ports of various countries. They either brought angry punishments or brought exquisite goods.
