However, the explosion still rang out beside them. The wooden barrel was shaken to pieces by the aftershock of the explosion. The soldiers screamed in fear and scrambled around the deck. At that moment, an unexploded shell suddenly fell from the sail.
Only then did the soldiers see the shells clearly as they fell, realizing that the enemy's shells were completely different from their own.
But at that moment, with a clang, the shell landed on the deck.
Subsequently, the counterweight at the front of the shell was indented inward by the deck and struck the firing pin, which then detonated the main explosive charge instantly.
With a deafening roar, the shell shattered into pieces.
The soldiers who fled in panic were thrown to the ground by the shockwave. Those who were close by were completely destroyed, while those who were further away had their internal organs ruptured. They staggered and coughed up blood. This horrific scene caused some soldiers to completely lose their minds. They screamed as they climbed over the railing and jumped directly into the sea.
However, individual choices cannot sway the will of the entire fleet. In response to the bombardment, the Allied fleet quickly devised new tactical maneuvers. At the sound of the bugle, the warships arranged in a longitudinal battle line were rapidly turning. They knew that attacking in this longitudinal manner would only lead to the continuous attrition of the fleet, eventually resulting in its complete annihilation.
Therefore, they had to switch from vertical to horizontal formations and fight the Yan army head-on with the same battle line combination. However, the "T" head had already been seized by the Yan army warships with faster speed. Now, if they wanted to form a horizontal formation, they would have to pay a heavy price. But this was a last resort, and only in this way could they fight them.
Such obvious tactical maneuvers were naturally noticed by the opposing Yan army, but they continued to advance in a "T"-shaped battle line. The enemy's battle line was like two sugarcanes that were being cut down repeatedly. Their heads had already been severely damaged, and what followed was a continuous barrage of artillery fire that would break them down section by section.
