The steady and sharp artillery fire almost landed beside him in an instant.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
For the first time, the entire Tahiti dock had been bombarded to pieces and was churning everywhere.
"this......"
Loggins was startled.
What kind of cannonball is this? They are obviously still two nautical miles away! How can it be so accurate?
What kind of artillery is this?
What kind of warship is this?
How come he had never heard of it before? Seeing the dark fleet group beginning to accelerate, an incredible guess suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Dragon Flame Army?"
"Yinzhou ship?"
His expression changed drastically.
He suddenly thought of this incredible guess. Because before, he had always believed that the battleships of the British Empire were the most powerful battleships in the world. Their "Victory" battleship has always been the most powerful battleship in the world today.
A large battleship, and also the most famous three-masted, three-deck battleship in history. It is nearly 70 meters long, has a displacement of more than 3,000 tons, and a speed of about 10 knots. During the just-concluded Battle of Trafalgar
Lieutenant General Nelson, commander of the British navy, used this ship to defeat the French and Spanish coalition forces and became famous in the first battle.
However......
Now the appearance of the Yinzhou ship has completely subverted Loggins' view of battleships.
Very big!
It can be said to be huge!
And it’s very high!
It was so dark that it looked like a war on the sea, a giant fortress on the sea! What he didn't know was that the current Yinzhou ship could be regarded as the strongest battleship in the world, and it had gone through several improvements.
After improvements and modifications, the total length of the Yinzhou ship has exceeded 130 meters. It is equipped with 150 artillery pieces. It can store 50 tons of gunpowder and 150 tons of artillery shells on the ship. One voyage can last up to a year.
time.
powerful!
Britain's Victory was no match for the Yinzhou ship.
What's more...
At this time, there are twenty Yinzhou ships!
"alert!"
"alert!"
Loggins, for a moment, could not care less about why Long Yan's navy appeared here. He had gone crazy. Soon, under his command, the 80,000 British troops at the Tahiti dock began to rely on
They had already built fortifications, were on guard and launched a counterattack.
"fire!"
Loggins is a graduate of the British Royal Military Academy. He has strong theoretical knowledge of war and practical experience. Soon, the British side stabilized. The cannons were also pulled out. He quickly judged that this
Once, the scale of Longyan's army was too large!
There are an estimated 200,000 people!
Two hundred thousand!
Once they successfully land, all that awaits them is death!
Britain's artillery is still a sixty-eight-pound smoothbore cannon. It is relatively bulky and has violent recoil. This smoothbore cannon is what people call the red barbarian cannon. Research on artillery is still carried out throughout the world.
It is still in the stage of smoothbore artillery. This kind of artillery is quite troublesome to bombard, whether it is loading or subsequent maintenance.
