382: Shelling the Rock Demon Fleet! Amazing results!
The pirates on the Rock Demon side are full of excitement and wildness.
The navy on Sauron's side was full of solemnity and seriousness.
Xudu Gunner even sat down, closed his eyes, and began to make final adjustments.
People on the entire fleet seemed to be afraid to take a deep breath, but because of their nervousness, their hearts were beating extremely fast, so they actually felt like they were suffocating.
"Zhuang Zhixuan, if I was defeated in Tianshui City before, I could retreat to the sea. But now that I lose, I will have no way to retreat. There is no place for me in the world," Sauron said.
Zhuang Zhixuan had never seen Sauron like this before. He was not only full of crisis, but even full of pessimism.
A few months ago, he was full of confidence when facing several armies sent by Zhili, and he seemed to be completely confident and confident.
But this time, it's completely unknown.
After thinking for a while, Zhuang Zhixuan comforted him: "Even if we lose, it is better to die vigorously than to live anonymously."
Sauron pinched her legs obscenely and said, "You are really good at comforting people."
…
On the sea, the distance between the two fleets is two thousand meters!
One thousand five hundred meters!
As soon as this number came out, all the gunners in Sauron's fleet opened their eyes, and the tendons on the back of their necks seemed to be lifted suddenly, and their hair stood up suddenly.
One thousand five hundred meters, already within range!
"Huh huh huh..."
The gryphon warriors in the sky are desperately waving their blood-red flags. (
This has only one meaning, fire, fire, fire!
Then, the distant battle horn of Sauron's fleet sounded.
"Aim the gun position, aim!"
The commanders of each ship shouted sternly.
In fact, all the artillery on the warships are ready and have even been aimed.
However, the gunner's door still made final adjustments and final aiming.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
"Full salvo fire!"
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Nearly two hundred artillery pieces blasted out violently.
The loud noise was as loud as thunder.
The Rock Demon and his pirate army were startled. They were three miles away. How could Sauron's trebuchet fire at this distance?
Because Sauron had used a large number of heavy hammer lever trebuchets on the battlefield before, the rock demon instinctively thought that Sauron's main weapon this time was still the trebuchet.
The rock demon standing on the bow of the ship sneered: "You opened fire three miles away. Do you want to scare people to death? Or do you want to embolden yourself?"
In this world, there is no weapon that can hit three miles away.
However, why was Sauron's weapon so loud? It could be heard three miles away. After the fight, there was a burst of thick smoke.
Looking at the posture, it is quite bluffing!
Suddenly, the Rock Demon laughed loudly and said: "Sauron's warship is amazing. Not only can it fart, it can also be so loud, and the farts can also produce smoke."
The rock bandits on the battleship burst out laughing and mocked Sauron along with him.
But then, the rock demon and the pirates stopped laughing.
Because the projectiles fired from Sauron's warship were as fast as black lightning, drawing an arc in the air, getting closer and closer.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Then, a terrible scene occurred.
There were countless iron balls, roaring and flying overhead with a burning aura.
The speed is so fast? The momentum is so amazing?
If they were hit by this iron ball, more than a dozen people would be smashed to pieces.
The rock demon felt his scalp numb. What secret weapon did Sauron have?
Can it travel three miles? A terrifying three miles!
Moreover, looking at the posture, it is far more than three miles away!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Nearly two hundred red-hot iron balls roared over the Rock Demon Fleet.
At a distance of 1,500 meters, after entering a mature and stable shelling state, the hit rate can reach about 78%.
But if you want to enter this mature and stable shelling state, you need to go through at least ten rounds of warm-up and adjustment.
However... that was an attack on a target ship.
At this time, Sauron's fleet faced more than a thousand warships, densely packed and countless.
So, even though it was my first time shooting, I actually gained a lot.
…
On a pirate warship in the Rock Demon camp.
At this time, more than a hundred pirates were standing densely on the deck. They suddenly heard a piercing whistling sound, and then saw a red-hot iron ball getting closer and closer.
"puff……"
The iron ball weighing more than twenty kilograms flew fiercely into the crowd of pirates.
moment……
The plows opened a bloody road, and wherever they passed, corpses and bones flew everywhere and their bodies were shattered into pieces.
There were no screams, no exclamations, not even pain.
Because after being penetrated, the entire body was directly broken at the waist, and he died instantly.
"boom!"
Then there was another loud noise, and the iron bullet suddenly opened a big hole in the thick deck, penetrated into the inner cabin, smashed everything inside, and penetrated three or four floors before the momentum was stopped.
The surviving pirates on the deck stayed there for a long time.
This, what kind of weapon is this?
So terrifying and sharp?
Then, they felt something strange on their faces, and couldn't help but stretched out their hands to touch it, and found that their faces were full of blood and broken flesh.
Look on the deck again!
It was a mess of blood and flesh, with about a dozen corpses?
Each one is incomplete, at least broken into two parts.
The only corpse that was relatively complete was because the man was very powerful and majestic. A huge hole was opened in his chest, about a foot in diameter, and all the internal organs inside were missing.
This is complete hell!
"Ugh, vomit, vomit..." The first pirate started to vomit.
Then, the other pirates also vomited.
This group of pirates were murderous and had seen every scene, but at this moment they actually vomited alive!
…
"Bang bang bang..."
Sauron was riding a gryphon floating high in the sky and could see clearly. The hit rate in the first round was probably close to ten percent.
A total of nineteen iron bullets hit the Rock Demon's warship.
Those with better luck flew directly above the deck, taking away the lives of more than a dozen people and smashing through the cabins on the deck.
The unlucky one hit the hull directly below the drainage line, opening a huge hole and allowing countless seawater to pour in crazily.
The first round of shelling damaged nearly twenty warships and took away the lives of hundreds of pirates.
Sauron was completely overjoyed and could hardly believe the result in front of him!
It was much better than he imagined!
In his most pessimistic estimate, the hit rate of the first round of shelling might be one percent, or even zero.
Because this is actual combat after all, and the opponent's ships are constantly in motion.
I didn't expect that the results would be so good.
Then, Sauron felt deeply that he was really dogmatic.
In his mind, in the great naval battle of the 18th century, the warships of both sides were bombarding each other, and he didn't know how many times it would take to hit the target.
Moreover, the fighting often lasted for several days and nights, with hundreds of cannons fired at each other.
His mind was filled with the pathetic hit rate in naval battles in the eighteenth century, and he didn't know how many hits it took to sink a warship.
However, naval battles in the eighteenth century on Earth were one-on-one confrontations, and a single target needed to be hit.
At this time, the Rock Demon's warships were so densely packed that they blocked out the sky. Even if they were lucky, they could still hit many of them.
Moreover, the battleships of the 18th century had countless watertight compartments, and two or three decks protected the interior of the ship relatively well. Moreover, the tonnage of each battleship was more than one or two thousand tons, so many shells were needed to hit it.
sink.
However, most of the warships of the Rock Demon at this time have a displacement of several hundred tons. Because there are no artillery, the protection strength of the warship is not high. Therefore, even if only one shell is hit on the vital part of the hull, it will be fatal.
of.
…
Rock Demon was also completely stunned by the first round of artillery strikes. Although he didn't know the casualties yet. But it could hit them three miles away. This momentum was really terrifying.
The key is that Sauron can hit him, but he can't hit Sauron. This is too frustrating.
At this time, the mainstream of naval battles was to get close to the enemy ship for two to three hundred meters, and the crossbows of both sides fired fiercely. After getting completely close, the pirates waved their scimitars and jumped directly onto the enemy ship to fight.
Therefore, at this time, the bravery and courage of the pirates are particularly important.
The Rock Bandits are the best sailors in the world. Not only are they not afraid of death, they even actively chase death.
But now, Sauron can hit them from three miles away, which is terrible.
Although the hit rate is low, people are always full of awe for the unknown, and the Rock Demon is no exception.
He must change the situation of the battle, draw the battle to the way he is best at, get close to the opponent, and then jump off the ship to fight.
By then, with four times the military strength and the rock bandits who are not afraid of death, he can easily tear Sauron's fleet to pieces!
"Close, close, close..."
The rock demon roared and ordered!
The signaling horn sounded, and dozens of pirates standing on the mast waved flags desperately!
The Rock Demon has only one thought in his mind at this time. Once I get close, you, Sauron, will be dead!
In the hunting south wind, the Rock Demon Fleet headed south at full speed.
A distance of 1,500 meters, which is about five minutes.
The firing interval of each round of Sauron's artillery takes more than seven minutes.
Without Sauron's order, Sauron's fleet also retreated south at full speed, keeping a certain distance from the Rock Demon Fleet.
As a result, the next two fleets continued to sail south.
However, the Rock Pirates fleet is famous for its briskness and is faster than Sauron's fleet.
Eight minutes later, Sauron's fleet's artillery completed the second round of reloading.
At this time, the distance between the two fleets had shortened to about 1,300 meters.
"Fire, fire, fire!"
Following the order, Sauron's fleet fired for the second time.
There was another earth-shaking loud noise, and hundreds of projectiles streaked across a distance of more than a thousand meters like black lightning, roaring towards the Rock Demon Fleet.
Sauron saw clearly from the air that he was still hit by nearly twenty live bullets.
Although the hit rate is not high, once it hits, it is destined to be a sea of blood, with ghosts crying and wolves howling.
In this way, both fleets sailed southward with full sail.
Every eight minutes or so, Sauron's fleet began a new round of bombardment.
And every eight minutes, the Rock Demon's fleet was more than a hundred meters closer.
One of the two fleets ran desperately, and the other pursued desperately.
"Fire, fire, fire!"
"Boom boom boom boom..."
…
Nearly an hour later!
Sauron's fleet conducted twelve bombardments.
It damaged more than a hundred Rock Demon warships and killed thousands of pirates.
Among them, eight battleships were hit in critical areas, and sea water continued to pour in, forcing them to abandon the ships.
This result undoubtedly seems huge.
The Rock Demon was almost going crazy. He was completely passive and could only watch Sauron's bombardment one after another.
Each time it took hundreds of lives.
Although the casualties and losses were actually not large, the damage to morale was too great.
Finally, under his full speed pursuit, he was only about 500 meters away from Sauron's fleet, and the opponent's warships were clearly visible.
At a distance of 500 meters, it would take about half an hour to catch up, and it would have to withstand Sauron's five or six bombardments.
"Wait for Sauron. When I catch up, I will kill you to death!" the rock demon said in pain.
At this time, Sauron gave an order!
Change chain ammo!
Chain bullets use an iron chain to connect two projectiles together and then launch them.
This is a total ship-killer, sail-killer, and mast-killer!
Moreover, at a distance of four to five hundred meters, the hit rate of chain bullets will far exceed that of solid iron bullets.
Therefore, Sauron's chain bullet attack this time is enough to give the rock demon a fatal blow!
"Fire, fire, fire!"
Following the order, intensive artillery fire sounded again.
Then, nearly two hundred rounds of chain bullets flew out in a wave.
The two pinballs were connected by an iron chain, and under the action of centripetal force, they rotated and flew towards the Rock Demon Fleet.
In the air, there were bursts of howling sounds!
Chain bomb, the hell killer of sailing battleships!
Sauron opened his eyes wide, full of infinite expectations for the outcome of the battle!
