Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Those originally extremely solid wooden sailboats were shattered by the horrific explosion and floated in pieces on the rough sea.

Countless Spanish sailors were thrown into the turbulent sea by the powerful air waves, and their lives and deaths were completely unknown at this moment.

At this time, the warships in the middle suffered a devastating disaster. Under the fierce attack of twelve torpedoes, in just a blink of an eye, more than a dozen warships disappeared in the vast ocean.

On those warships that were fortunately not destroyed, the surviving Spanish sailors were still in shock and secretly rejoicing that they had escaped.

But at this moment, a low and shocking "rumbling" sound suddenly came from the originally calm sea, as if an ancient giant beast was awakening.

Everyone looked hurriedly in the direction of the sound, and saw thousands of small and nimble speedboats rushing towards them from afar at lightning speed.

"Open the gun ports! All personnel quickly move forward to the gun positions and be prepared to meet the enemy..." the captain gave orders anxiously.

As he shouted, the pitch-black cannon barrel on the Spanish warship slowly extended out of the gun port.

These cannons were extremely powerful and could fire iron balls weighing up to nine pounds.

Once it hits a wooden sailboat, a big hole can be easily smashed into it.

However, things did not develop as smoothly as the Spaniards expected.

The boats, which had been so aggressive, finally stopped 3500 meters away from their target.

You know, this position is at the limit of the range that Spanish artillery can reach.

When fighting on land, artillery can flexibly adjust large elevation angles to achieve the goal of striking the enemy from a long distance.

However, when these guns were installed on ships, the situation became complicated.

Due to the obstruction of the gun port window, the elevation angle of the artillery was greatly affected.

Therefore, in general naval battles, the maximum range of artillery is often controlled within 2000 meters.

At this moment, a deafening sound suddenly came: "Da da da..."

It turned out that thousands of Maxim heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time!

The dense gunfire poured down like a rainstorm, and the 11.43mm heavy machine gun bullets swept towards the remaining Spanish mid-line battleships with astonishing speed and power.

In an instant, countless bullets fell on the wooden hull like raindrops.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and the hull was instantly covered with holes the size of bowls, some of which even penetrated directly into the cabin.

The sailors on the deck who had just been standing and watching had no time to react and were hit by ruthless bullets.

They either fell to the ground and died on the spot, or groaned in pain, and their blood dyed the deck red.

Most of the bullets penetrated the side of the ship and flew straight into the cabin. The sailors who did not have time to lie down and avoid the bullets fell one after another, and their deaths were horrible.

What's worse, many bullets hit the gunpowder barrels placed in the cabin.

Only dull explosions were heard one after another, followed by huge fireballs rising into the sky.

The entire warship was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire. The raging fire spread rapidly, devouring everything.

Accompanied by a violent explosion, the warship began to fall apart, pieces of wood were blown into the sky, and then fell heavily into the sea.

Before long, these once majestic Spanish galleons completely disintegrated and slowly sank to the deep seabed.

In this brutal battle, only a very few lucky people survived.

They struggled desperately on the vast sea, trying to find floating wood to save their lives.

Their terrified eyes were filled with despair and helplessness, and they didn't know whether they could escape this disaster.

On the sea in the middle, eighteen warships sank in the smoke.

Wales stood on a high lookout post, eyes wide open, staring in disbelief at the scene happening before him.

How could this be called a battle? It was clearly a bloody and cruel one-sided massacre!

At the same time, the Spanish navy on the left and right turned their attention to the center.

The earth-shattering explosion sounded like thunder in the ears, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Their faces were filled with horror, and their hearts were filled with doubts and fear: Oh my God, at such a long distance, what kind of mysterious and terrifying weapon did the enemy use to be able to hit the target with one strike and directly sink the warship?

When they looked at the sea again, they saw thousands of small boats without sails but still speeding at an astonishing speed. They were like ghosts from the depths of hell, approaching rapidly with deafening roars and terrifying life-threatening gunshots.

Less than five minutes had passed and the Central Army had been completely wiped out. All the warships were ruthlessly destroyed and sank into the cold, dark seabed, leaving only a mess and floating debris.

Seeing such a horrific battle situation, the captains of the left and right armies were no fools.

They knew very well that if they continued to carry out the encirclement and attack mission as planned, it would be tantamount to digging their own graves - seeking their own death.

Almost at the same time, nearly forty warships turned around at the same time as if they had discussed it in advance, not even bothering to return to the port, and only wanted to escape from this land of death as soon as possible.

How could Qi Shiba allow the fat meat that was about to reach his mouth to slip away?

His eyes were wide open, his face was full of anger, and he shouted orders without hesitation:

"All ships, listen up! Immediately fire at the armies on the left and right! Don't let them have a chance to catch their breath!"

Following Qi Shiba's order, the warships began to move like awakened beasts.

The main gun and side guns adjusted their angles at the same time, aiming at the enemy warships on the left and right sides respectively.

For a moment, the ship's guns fired together, and the deafening roar resounded through the sky.

“Boom—boom boom boom—”

Huge shells shot towards the Spanish warships like meteors.

The shells fell into the sea, stirring up huge water columns hundreds of feet high, as if they were going to pierce the sky.

The warships that were closer had no time to dodge and were instantly overturned by the powerful impact; while the warships that were a little further away were shaken violently by this force, like a candle in the wind, and could sink at any time.

Among them, the two 101mm guns at the front and rear of the 320 cruiser are particularly terrifying.

When the shells fell into the sea and exploded, the sea water within a hundred meters radius instantly flowed back, forming a bottomless pit.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely thick central water column rushed straight into the sky like a dragon emerging from the sea. Pulled by this huge suction force, the surrounding warships involuntarily drifted rapidly towards the center of the explosion.
