The major general stamped his feet fiercely, "Catch up and kill them!"
If the major general could fully see the opponent's semaphore, he might not have issued such an order.
The two parties were getting closer and closer. Suddenly, the lookout shouted, "Report, a large fleet is approaching from the right!"
The major general was startled. He immediately picked up the telescope and looked to the right. Some masts in the distance gradually became larger and more numerous. The opponent was following the wind direction and was approaching very quickly. A chill came from the major general's arm.
The heels of my feet were digging into my head.
He swallowed subconsciously, "No way..."
Looking at the posture and menacing look, the opponent has obviously been planning for a long time. Since he has the courage to ambush his own side, it at least means that the opponent's fleet is superior to our own in combat power!
He set out with all the battleships, one second-level battleship, two third-level battleships, and eleven fourth-level battleships. He really couldn't imagine which force in the entire Caribbean could have so many battleships.
And why does the intelligence say there are only two ships left in the fleet?
Could it be...
If...the opponent can still have so much combat power after eating up its own squadron?
It was too late to run away at this time. No matter what, the major general couldn't believe that his side would not be able to defeat the other side!
"Turn the helm!" the major general ordered with a calm face: "Come forward and fight to the death!"
The two fleets approached quickly, and neither Wang Xuan's side nor the other side fired first!
What is tested at this time is concentration!
Everyone knows that the closer the firing distance, the higher the hit rate, but not everyone can bear the intimidation of the enemy's muzzle!
Both sides pushed out the muzzles of the cannons early, and loaded the gunpowder shells early. Everyone was waiting for the orders from the commanders of both sides!
Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters... This distance is almost only close to the artillery. The gunners on both sides can clearly see the ferocious faces of the other side!
The gunner held the ignition pliers in his hand tightly, and his palms were already covered with sweat. No one could face death calmly.
Both sides line up in columns, which is the best option to unleash their firepower!
The leading Dreadnought and the opponent's second-level battleship never gave orders and just passed by each other. However, when they were parallel, both ships shouted at the same time...
"fire!"
"fire!"
"fire!"
"Boom boom boom..."
On the Intrepid, the 50 cannons on one side of the ship exploded one after another, and the other side's 40 cannons were also not to be outdone. The whizzing projectiles crisscrossed each other at a distance of less than a hundred meters. Suddenly, the warships of both sides were hit hard almost at the same time!
Even though the Dreadnaught is a first-class battleship, and even though it has thickened side strings up to one meter thick, it still cannot avoid the fate of being shot through by the 36-pound heavy gun at close range!
Five holes with a diameter of one meter were directly broken on the wall of the warehouse, and there were no less than 20 other large and small damages!
Fortunately, the opponent's warship only had 10 36-pound guns on one side, and only 5 of them hit.
The opponent's second-level battleship was even more difficult. It was hit by more cannonballs at close range. In addition, the hull itself was not as strong as the Dreadnought. It was tightly staggered. The size of 30 hits made the opponent's battleship look even more embarrassed!
But, no matter what, this kind of large battleship is tens of meters long, and just this kind of damage is far from sinking.
Lining up in columns, the two sides passed each other one after another. The cannons on the ships kept roaring. In a short period of time, both sides fired 5,000 shells weighing more than ten tons.
After passing by each other, the three warships on the sea began to slowly topple over, with debris floating everywhere, and drowned sailors swimming around.
Wang Xuan had no time to check the damage to the fleet and immediately ordered a U-turn!
The opponent's rear admiral commander did not feel that he was too far behind. War was not about size. Although there were three third-tier battleships and one fourth-tier battleship behind Wang Xuan in terms of number of battleships, the gap was not irreparable.
The major general felt that he had figured out Wang Xuan's origin. It must be the British fleet that arrived some time ago. After the great battle, they collected most of the pirates who surrendered and built a squadron based on these pirates.
In his mind, his own naval warriors are far stronger than these fleets built based on pirates in terms of consciousness, training status, warship quality, etc.!
As long as the war reaches a certain level, the opponent's morale will definitely decline early. At that time, it will be the best time for them to fight back!
The two sides once again formed two almost parallel columns on the sea and began to shoot at each other. This was equivalent to the Army's queuing to kill tactic. It depends on who has greater courage, whose firepower is stronger, and whose shooting speed is faster.
Cannonballs whizzed past, smashing the ship's planks, and screams came one after another. From time to time, a battleship started to catch fire, or its mast was broken, and one by one began to fall behind.
At this time, as the major general expected, Wang Xuan's pirate army was trained in a short period of time after all, and its willpower was much inferior to that of the opponent's full-time navy. After a fierce battle, although Wang Xuan's fleet relied on the firepower of its ships,
The opponent who has enough to fight will suffer greater losses.
However, Wang Xuan has already discovered that his own artillery fire speed has begun to decrease, while the opponent's artillery fire speed is still as fast as ever!
While Wang Xuan's expression slowly turned bad, the Major General's expression became brighter and brighter.
The dawn of victory gradually appears, as long as...as long as you persist for a while!
You will definitely win this sea battle!
Oh shit!
Wang Xuan cursed fiercely!
The willpower of the pirates is so poor!
Fortunately, I still have a trump card, otherwise, I would have capsized in the gutter this time!
Wang Xuan took out the "High Horn" from the space. When it is blown, all those who hear its sound will remove all negative emotional effects and their morale will be restored to the maximum value. It lasts for one hour and can be used once a day.
With all his strength, Wang Xuan sounded the horn loudly, dirty... dirty... (Did I make a typo?)
The sound of the horn resounded throughout the battlefield, and even the rumble of cannons could not suppress it!
As the sound of the horn spread, Wang Xuan's pirates immediately became energetic. They didn't know where the strength came from, but they felt that their whole bodies were full of strength!
The artillery fire became intensive again, and the Spanish navy on the opposite side was suddenly caught off guard.
"Get close to the opponent and prepare chain bombs!"
The major general didn't understand what happened suddenly. He only knew that the opponent's morale suddenly boosted, and his own firepower advantage was once again brought into play, and his own side suffered heavy losses in a short period of time.
As the warships approached, a wave of chain bombs came over. Looking at our own fleet, there were only three warships left that could maintain a certain speed!
This naval battle ended with the Spanish navy being completely annihilated!
As the major general ordered the surrender, and the prisoners boarded the transport ships one after another, Wang Xuan won a great victory!
(Religious belief, those who commit suicide cannot go to heaven!)
