[Chapter 619 The Other Party Can’t Run Fast]

Nine Norma warships surrounded, and the commander-in-chief of the Norma Kingdom’s fleet was looking at the West Wind with a serious face.

Jonah stood beside him and whispered: “General, don’t worry, we still have nine ships with nearly three thousand soldiers on board. As long as we get closer, sailors will swarm up, and there is no reason to lose.

” Afraid of them escaping.” The commander-in-chief also believed that there was no reason for nearly 3,000 people to rush on the ship to hack and slash, but the commander with very rich experience in naval battles also understood a truth. It is impossible to let the other side pick up the boat stupidly, and it will definitely drive at full speed, using the characteristics of the strong defense of its large iron ship to fight the enemy with artillery.

Jonah said: “Escape? General, the other party is an iron ship, how can it run fast? You see it just came slowly, staggeringly from the shipyard, as slow as the turtle. It doesn’t make any difference, how could it possibly

outrun our galleon?” This made sense, and the commander felt a little at ease. Although the big iron ship was amazing in the shelling battle just now, it was indeed traveling relatively slowly, and the speed was like a snail. If such a broken ship can’t catch up with the ship, then you might as well jump into the sea and kill yourself.

All he needs to do now is to be careful of the enemy ship’s artillery fire on the way to the ship.

The commander issued a series of orders to let each ship be careful of artillery fire and flexibly wait for an opportunity to catch up.

However…

they didn’t know that in the previous round of shelling, the reason why the West Wind ran very slowly, like a snail, was only because the power crew on board were all rookies. It was just a group of sailors who were temporarily caught and turned into a power group. They were carefully experimenting with how to play the steam engine, but they didn’t fully turn on the power, or in other words, they didn’t even use one-third of the speed.

However, after the crooked sailing for a while, the sailors have a little understanding of what this power system is about.

This is not a very complicated machine, unlike computer equipment that has to be learned for a long time to use.

After a short period of learning, anyone can quickly get started.

The sailors had just become familiar with the steam engine when they heard the command from the captain: “Full speed, this ship is about to start maneuvering operations.”

“OK! Just try to see how this ship can run.” They are very excited, add coal, add coal, power up, GOGOGO!

The steam engine ran wildly, and the huge power was output to the large water wheels on both sides of the hull through the rotating shaft. The two huge water wheels slammed and turned frantically.

The helmsman on the ship couldn’t keep up with the reaction of the power for a while, and the ship rushed forward with a brush, and actually rushed straight towards the enemy ship, which made him startled. At this time, all fools knew to avoid the battle. Of course, the helmsman also knew this, and hurried to steer with all his might.

The Norma battleship on the opposite side saw the Zephyr rushing towards him. He thought the enemy had blocked his mind. He was about to be overjoyed when he suddenly saw the Zephyr turn sideways. The speed was unbelievable. tossed over.

It turned out that there was no high building on the deck of the Zephyr, only a very short building, and its design concept was completely different from the current large three-masted galleon.

Although the three-masted galleon of the Norma Kingdom is also equipped with artillery, its design idea is more inclined to “sea fortress”. This kind of ship has a towering ship building, and it is convenient for soldiers to attack enemy ships from a commanding height on the ship building.

The towering building, coupled with the high masts and sails, of course, the steering is not flexible enough, and it is easy to capsize if you turn too fast.

But the Zephyr was a “dwarf ship”, with a very low building, no masts and sails, only a round chimney, and the steering was flexible, far exceeding that of a three-masted galleon.

Once the Zephyr turned around, it turned into a fleet facing the Norma Kingdom with its broadside.

This is the most favorable T-position in modern naval battles!

Without the orders of Robb and Madeleine, the gunners on board seized this rare opportunity.

“Fire!”

“Fire!”

The wide side of the Zephyr was full of fire. In an instant, a dozen dwarf artillery and several Katyushas fired at the same time. The physical cannonballs flew out together with the magical fireballs. The scene was extremely spectacular. .

The Norma Fleet rushed to the front of the battleship, and was shot several times in an instant, and was hit by physical cannonballs, causing wood chips to fly.

After eating a lot of fireballs, the magic defense array flashed beautiful ripples, and after all, unable to withstand the intensive blows, it shattered into a magical light in the sky, and then the fireballs behind it hit the ground firmly. On board, a fire started.

A magician used water magic and wanted to put out the fire, but a bunch of arcane missiles flew in and hit the magician continuously. The poor magician screamed and fell dead on the deck.

The fire cannot be extinguished!

The crew on the boat had to jump off the boat again to escape. The rabbit merchants who were detained in the bottom cabin also quickly jumped into the sea. As soon as they jumped, they were thrown by Robb and took a breath underwater, and hid under the water obediently.

Robb saw from a distance that a rabbit who was jumping into the sea was still holding a dead companion in his hands. It seemed that he accidentally killed a rabbit in the round of artillery fire just now. He glanced left and right, but no one paid attention to him. , quietly threw a shaman’s resurrection technique at the dead rabbit man.

The resurrection of the shaman is different from the resurrection of the light priest and the dark priest. It will not fly out of the angel’s feathers in the sky. The animation effect is relatively simple, just a flash of green light, and it is over. In this sea battle with the roar of artillery fire, who he meow noticed a green light flashed on a rabbit.

The dead rabbit suddenly opened his eyes, causing the companion who was hugging him to jump into the sea to scream, but after he made a cry, he fell into the water and couldn’t get out if he wanted to.

“Bombardment!”

“Fire!”

The artillerymen on both sides were shouting with all their might, and the shells kept flying around.

After a salvo of horizontal artillery fire from the Zephyr, the dwarf artillery needs to be reloaded with shells and gunpowder, and the magic item has also been sprayed with ammunition, and the “magic container” energy storage box needs to be replaced.

A short firepower blank period!

How could the battleships of the Norma Kingdom be spared? In an instant, the remaining eight battleships fired at the same time, and a large number of physical cannonballs flew over and hit the steel ship bumplessly.

The magic props also fired wildly, and countless fireballs and ice arrows shot over at the same time…
