There were a hundred iron vehicles and hundreds of soldiers stationed at a temporary base next to a small tribe.
Now another group of strange fleets have been discovered in the rear waters.
Everyone knows that the other party has ill intentions.
The Mozhen tribe was on edge any longer and quickly dispatched more than 20 warships belonging to them.
On the warship.
A tall woman in a red robe stood on the deck, looking at the fleet of unknown origin with a cold expression.
"Humph, you've come just in time. Let them see how powerful our Mo Zhen is!"
A man behind her couldn't help but say.
She is the commander of this fleet, Mo Lingshu, and the man who spoke is the deputy commander, Mo Quan, one of the few strong and muscular men in the Mozhen tribe.
Mo Lingshu didn't say anything.
He just gave the order: "Load the shells, and all warships are ready for battle..."
"yes!"
The difference in the number of warships between the two sides is not big, the competition is about quality.
If it were Chai Su's side, he could actually use all the warships as main battleships.
On the other hand, the Mozhen tribe, apart from its three main battleships, had an obvious gap in other battleships. With a displacement of 6,000 tons, the number of troops and artillery that could be carried was not even on the same level...
There is no need to fire warning cannons. Everyone knows that they are already at your doorstep. Firing directly is the best option.
At the beginning of civilization, human beings already possessed the most primitive desire for conquest, just as the use of force to make people submit is nothing more than this principle.
boom!
After both sides entered the combat radius, they fired the first shot at the same time.
The sound of countless cannons resounded through the sky, marking the official start of the naval battle.
"Four ships on the left, hard left rudder. Four ships on the right, hard right rudder. The rest, temporarily draw fire!"
Xia Hong gave the order calmly.
As the fleet was moving, it immediately split into three groups. In the middle, the seven warships led by the Flag rushed straight towards the enemy, and the other two groups sailed to both sides, locked fire, and assisted the Flag and other seven warships in suppressing the enemy.
Xia Hong's method is very simple.
Attack from both sides and surround them.
…
Mo Lingshu also discovered Xia Hong's intention and gave a decisive order.
"Maha leads the way, all ships move forward in a V-formation!"
This way, we can concentrate firepower while taking care of both wings, minimizing the threat of being surrounded.
But she ultimately underestimated the opponent's firepower advantage.
The 350mm large-caliber guns equipped on the Flagship alone were enough to give them a hard time.
Less than thirty minutes into the battle, a warship on Mo Zhen's side was sunk by several shells, and three other warships were severely damaged and forced to leave the battlefield.
On the other hand, none of Hua Cang's ships sank, and even if they were hit, the impact was not significant, because the defense of the warships built by Chai Su was enough to withstand the attack of more than a dozen small-caliber artillery shells from the enemy.
Mo Lingshu remained silent.
"Keep going, use your bows and crossbows!"
"yes!"
It's no joke that the huge rockets fired from a crossbow can penetrate steel, but its insufficient range and complex equipment are its biggest weaknesses.
None of the arrows hit the target.
Mo Lingshu's heart sank to the bottom.
The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, and at this time the rapid-fire cannons equipped on the Huacang fleet gradually showed their power.
In just a few minutes, one of the warships in Mo Zhen's fleet was hit by several bullets.
"Report... a gun damaged!"
"Report...water is entering the engine compartment!"
"Report……"
The captain of the warship looked sad.
Bang!
This time, the Changing Flag targeted the injured main battleship.
Rapid gun lock.
After the three large-caliber artillery pieces were locked and the ammunition was loaded, Xia Hong gave a decisive order.
Bang bang bang!
The first shot hit the front deck of the ship accurately, the second shot penetrated the lower part of the bow, the third shot... then the fourth shot, the fifth shot...
boom!
Everyone likes to give a drowning dog a beating. The Huacang fleet on the left wing also joined the team to attack the main battleship.
"Fire support! Fire support!"
Mo Lingshu wanted to order help, but it was too late.
The battleship was covered in billowing waves of fire, and its hull broke into two sections, with only a few survivors falling into the water.
Of the three main battleships, only two remain.
Up to this point in the battle, only one enemy ship had been severely damaged and had to withdraw from the battlefield, while more than several of our ships had sunk.
boom!
The deck of the main battleship where Mo Lingshu was located was hit by several shells.
In a close-range shootout with the Flag, the rapid-fire cannon on it showed a huge advantage.
When the enemy fires one shell, it can already fire three shells, and its hit rate is higher than that of traditional artillery.
"Reload, fire back!"
"Coordinates..."
"emission!"
boom!
"Report...missed!"
"Secondary guns loaded!"
"emission!"
A total of thirty small-caliber conventional artillery pieces on both sides of the ship were aimed at the Flag on the left.
Several guns fired in salvo.
"Report, the artillery positions on both sides are ready!"
Xia Hong gave the order calmly.
"emission!"
"yes!"
Let's fight, who's afraid of who?
After a round of exchange of fire, both sides were hit by dozens of shells, but the thickness of the Banner's armor was much superior, and because of its relatively powerful power system, it obviously avoided several shells.
Chai Su, who was already a little seasick, cried out "What a sin!" when the boat shook...
If he had known this was the case, he would never have gotten on the boat again even if he was beaten to death.
Uh... I feel a little dizzy.
…
The naval battle lasted for three hours, and the confrontation between the two sides was still fierce. Hua Cang sank Mo Zhen's second main battleship at the cost of sinking a battleship.
