Royal Gold Magistrate

Dajing Shuijun's reaction speed is extremely fast.

Since coming to the West, the whole has maintained a state of high vigilance.

When the military order was issued and the port horn sounded, all the sailors immediately rushed to their posts in an orderly manner.

The first to move was naturally the five ironclad ships moored at the port.

In less than half an hour, the ironclad ship had already started to leave the port.

The five warships sounded together, and the sound of the whistle rang loudly, resounding across the sea!

At the same time, the flag officer on the ship began to raise flags to the ships floating on the sea.

On the sea, eighty ships began to turn their bows one by one, forming an orderly formation.

Lai Gou'er stood on the bow of the Wide Area Silence, frowning deeply and looking into the distance.

Beside him were a few sailors returning from the scout ship, who kept pointing their directions.

The ironclad ship was very fast, and it quickly rushed in front of all the warships after setting off from the port.

A total of [-] warships, in a triangular formation, cut through the waves...

On the vast sea, 150 warships sailed with the same momentum.

Yu Bo, the general of the main ship, stood at the bow, looking far and wide.

Hearing the sound of the waves, he couldn't help but feel agitated in his chest.

When he was young, he went out to sea with His Majesty, and climbed step by step to where he is today.

Although all the people who are reused in the army are from Dajing, the competition is already fierce.

He watched this invincible fleet build up from scratch.

Raising soldiers for thousands of days, today finally has a place to use them.

Now is the time to serve the emperor and make contributions!

150 warships are equipped with a total of [-] divine punishment weapons!

Thirty four-masted ships, fifty armed merchant ships, fifteen light sailing ships, six medium ships and six long ships...

The entire fleet is equipped with nearly 2 sailors and carries more than [-] soldiers, not to mention the rest of the supply and maintenance personnel.

Such naval power is absolutely unique in the world!

No fleet of any country can compete with it.

Yu Bo firmly believed in this point.

So even if they found the scout ship from the Holy City, they didn't rush to chase it.

A crushing victory is just around the corner, and a good meal is never too late.

After sailing for a long time, Yu Bo stood at the bow of the ship, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Suddenly, the figure of the ship began to appear in front of his eyes.

Yu Bo smiled confidently, raised his hand and ordered: "Prepare chain bombs, prepare to meet the enemy!"

The ships communicated with semaphore, and the soldiers all moved.

The so-called chain bomb is to use a chain to connect two small shells smaller than the bore diameter in series.

According to the principle after firing, one shell will drag the other shell and fly out centrifugally.

Thereby destroying the opponent's sails and even the mast, causing the enemy to lose mobility.

The method of chain bullets was still researched and explored by the army during long-term drills.

It can be said that this method of warfare is quite efficient!The outside world has never had it!

If the enemy doesn't know chain bombs, they will definitely lose the wind in the confrontation.

.....

The two fleets are like torrents on the sea, tacitly meeting each other.

Apparently, Lai Gou'er had also observed the enemy army, and the scale of it really made him feel nervous.

Too much!

He had never seen a fleet of such a large size, and the opponent was equipped with a large number of artillery.

This power is enough to gallop unimpeded on the sea, which is really frightening.

But the iron-clad ship under his feet gave him a lot of security.

It is not clear how the ironclad ship will perform in actual combat, but according to Fang Zhengyi, its defensive power is astonishing.

He doesn't know how amazing the defense is, but the firearms on this ship must be amazing!

There are a hundred cannons on a ship, and there is a rotating fort on the deck that can turn and shoot 360 degrees.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer.

Lai Gou'er raised his hand and ordered: "Prepare chain bombs for the fort, replace the rest of the naval guns with explosive bombs, and the left and right wing fleets will go around and outflank them."

...

"Oh?! Instead of avoiding it, do you want to outflank us?" Yu Bo almost laughed out loud holding up his binoculars.

The size of the opponent's fleet can be described as majestic.

At first he was shocked when he saw it, it was half the size of theirs.

But... only half their size.

With such a huge disparity, how can the enemy win?

But when he got closer, Yu Bo frowned suddenly, and couldn't help asking his deputy: "Where are their sails? Why don't the main ships in front have sails?"

The deputy also held the binoculars, watched intently, and murmured: "It is true that there is no sail... and the opposite ship seems to be a bit big! Smoke, black smoke, general! Their ship seems to be on fire."

Did you catch fire before you started hitting the enemy?Isn't this nonsense!

A feeling of absurdity welled up in his heart, and Yu Bo hurriedly picked up the binoculars to look again.

After watching carefully for a few minutes, Yu Bo was a little out of his wits.

What the hell is on fire!That was clearly smoke coming from the chimney!

But why are there such big chimneys on the ship, and where are their masts and sails.

How can a ship without sails move so fast?

Obviously the other ships looked normal, only the five in front looked weird.

A strong sense of unease rose in Bo's heart.

It may be a new kind of ship, a warship they have never seen before!

Unexpected changes happen, you must not be careless, this battle cannot be lost!

Immediately ordered: "The main battleship slows down and avoids the side, don't charge head-on with the enemy! All other ships turn around and surround them!"

The two sides began to change formation at the same time, and they both looked like they were fighting from a distance.

Getting closer and closer, the distance between the two formations is less than a kilometer!

A look of horror appeared on Yu Bo's face!

Not because of anything else, but because of those five abnormal warships!

big!too big!This ship was even bigger than their largest main battleship. The most important thing was that it could sail without sails at high speed.

And these five ships are overtaking the warships behind them and actively entering their formation!

See the hell!

The soldiers beside him also seemed a little flustered. Yu Bo immediately said: "Don't be afraid! They have five main ships, and our army still has an absolute advantage. When the enemy's warship enters the range, immediately fire chain bombs!"

And the five ironclad ships rushed into the formation at full speed, not forgetting to change formations in the process.

The warships that were originally moving forward in the form of finished characters have become end-to-end and follow each other.

Like a fast arrow, shot into the enemy's formation!

Yu Bo was shocked.

what are they doingActually broke away from the main force and took the initiative to kill him first, throwing himself into the trap?

"Raise the flag quickly, let the five ships outflank the left and right sides! Sink them," Yu Bo urgently ordered.

Within range in the blink of an eye!

It's just the range of the imported Dajing naval gun.

"Fire!!!" Lai Gou'er's cheeks tensed, and he gave the command.

The enemy and our ships faced each other, and the ironclad ship's rotating turret fired the first shot.

With the sound of a cannon, two chained cannonballs circled and rushed in mid-air.

Under Yu Bo's horrified eyes, the mast of one of his longships was smashed to pieces...
