The French commander observed the approaching giant battleship through his telescope.
His expression changed drastically. This must be the Long Yan Army's revenge attack on them.
Currently, only the Long Yan Army has such battleships in the world.
"Change the course quickly and don't confront the enemy head-on!"
The French commander issued an urgent order. Their fleet had fought against the Dragon Flame supply ship many times and they knew the capabilities of their Dragon Flame fleet.
A supply ship of this level, equipped with a steam engine, could easily surpass them in speed.
Moreover, the artillery equipped on these battleships can definitely blast their battleships to pieces.
Their ships are used to transport supplies.
If there is a head-on battle with Longyan Navy now, these combat plans related to the American continent will be completely defeated.
They quickly sailed into the St. Lawrence River and must keep this batch of supplies!
In the current battle on the North American continent, France is already at a disadvantage.
France fights the dragon flames.
As a result, they were defeated and their troops were decimated by the Long Yan Army on the northern battlefield.
Britain captured many fortresses such as Fort Carillon in the Great Lakes region.
This caused the French army to lose too much area, and now the entire Mississippi River Basin has fallen into the hands of the British.
The French commander knew that the supplies they were transporting now were related to the security of the most important and last fortress of the French colonial zone in North America!
Quebec!
If this place is lost again, France will no longer have a trading center in the Mississippi and St. Laurent river areas.
There are no available port cities.
They will lose the centuries-old hide business with the Indians!
Therefore, the supplies on their ships must not be sunk by Long Yan's naval fleet.
Entering the St. Laurent River is now their only hope!
The St. Laurent River is supported by their French troops, and the port is controlled by them. As long as you enter here, it is their French territory.
The French troops stationed on the river bank will help them intercept Long Yan's navy.
On the other side, the British fleet was mistaken by the French commander for the Dragon Flame Navy.
Their Dreadnought-class battleship had four sets of steam generators at full power. The tightly connected sea level was broken by the battleship, causing ripples to rise in the sea.
The French fleet's capital ship was equipped with three sets of steam engines and one hundred artillery pieces.
But most of them are small artillery. Although it is a steam ship, it still retains the sail design of a wooden hull ship.
Sail can provide some acceleration power, but it is not as powerful as the steam power of the supply ship and the British Dreadnought.
Four sets of giant steam engines allow the Dreadnought-class battleship to have very powerful mobility.
Coupled with the aerodynamics developed by Britain, it has been well verified on Britain's Dreadnought-class battleships.
This ship is approaching the French battleship at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Quick, quick, quick!" the French commander yelled hastily.
"Turn all the artillery and aim at Long Yan's battleship!"
He looked at the St. Laurent River not far ahead.
As long as he enters the St. Laurent River, he has a chance of survival!
Now we are not far from the St. Laurent River.
However, at this moment, a huge cannonball fell from the sky and bombarded their French warship!
Because the French battleships still retained part of the design of wooden-hulled ships, most of the decks were designed with wood.
This shell directly caused the deck of the French battleship to burst into flames.
