The sky gradually brightened amid the rumbling sound of artillery.
However, at this moment, Count Pizarro was in a very gloomy mood.
The Invincible Armada had entered the optimal firing range of thirty feet and had gained the advantage of shooting first. Through the telescope, he clearly saw that at least twelve shells from his fourteen warships had hit the enemy ships!
The fire from the shells exploding on the enemy ships was brighter than fireworks, there was no doubt about it!
He originally thought that this round of bombardment could sink at least two enemy warships, however... the two enemy ships that were hit the most did not sink!
It even had its sides in place and launched a round of artillery fire at its own fleet.
Perhaps because the two warships were in a panic, the accuracy of their artillery fire this time was much poorer, and most of the shells fell into the sea in front, behind, and around the ships, blasting out huge water columns and making the waves even more turbulent.
"Order! Concentrate fire!"
The sound of cannons was deafening, flames shot up into the sky, and the roars were equally deafening!
"Quickly report to the flagship, the fire on ship number three is fierce and requires cover!"
Ye Changjiang, the captain of the third ship, yelled at the flag bearer. He rushed out from the command platform on the third deck, covering his mouth with his hands and roaring into the wind: "Zhu Xiangyang of the First Brigade, I order you to lead the entire brigade to put out the fire!"
He rushed into the second-floor cabin and roared again, "Second Brigade, Third Brigade, hold on! What the hell are you shooting at? You're wasting my ammunition! Aim, okay? All your usual training has gone to waste!"
He rushed into another cabin, where the 4th and 5th Brigades were located. "Xiangnan, Pu Dacaizi, you two bastards, tell your men to shoot more accurately..."
Before he finished speaking, another shell whizzed over and landed on the front deck. The battleship shook violently in the explosion, and Ye Changjiang hit his head against the bulkhead. Blood flowed down his forehead. He had no time to deal with it, so he turned around and ran to the third deck.
As the commander of the 3rd Division of the 1st Navy Army, the people on this ship now are not his former subordinates, but members of the Marine Corps.
The Marine Corps' training focuses on landing operations. As for artillery fire... they know a bit, but they are not skilled enough at all.
Ye Changjiang was very depressed. This battle was very frustrating.
If it were his own subordinates, it would only take sixty breaths to load this shell, but now, it would take at least twice as long, and the accuracy was much worse.
He held up the telescope and suddenly saw that five enemy ships had turned their guns and pointed them at the flagship of the Dreadnought fleet!
That is Captain Bai Yulian’s warship!
Ye Changjiang was shocked and yelled:
"Orders, full steam ahead, sink those five enemy ships!"
"Commander..."
"hurry up!"
The messenger pulled the signal bell, and the crew in the power compartment received the signal. The steam engine was running at full power at this moment, thick smoke billowed out of the chimney, the bow of the ship was straightened, and it rapidly crashed into an enemy ship on the opposite side.
Bai Yulian's No. 1 battleship had finished firing this round of shells and was turning around, which happened to reveal a gap. The enemy obviously keenly captured the huge flaw it exposed.
The rest of the warships were currently engaged in combat with enemy ships, and no warship could come to cover the No. 1 warship's turn—this was a shortcoming in training that was fully exposed in actual combat, and was therefore fatal.
He still stood calmly on the command platform, looking out at the entire battlefield through a telescope, and issued orders to the messenger: "Full speed! Full rudder, gunners ready...!"
Battleship No. 1 turned rapidly and tilted abruptly. Many people were thrown from one side to the other, then climbed up again and quickly returned to their positions.
A smile appeared on Pizarro's face. In the previous round of attacks, two ships of the Invincible Armada were sunk again, but now...
Now is the time to sink the enemy flagship!
A huge flag was flying on the warship, fluttering in the sea breeze.
He saw the flag clearly; it was a sword and an eagle with outstretched wings.
The corners of his mouth curled up, but fell back in an instant.
He saw through the telescope that another enemy ship was rushing towards the five invincible battleships that had already arrived at the tactical position!
What the hell!
Are you trying to live?
"Ignore it, sink the enemy flagship!"
His flag bearer had just given the signal when he saw the two main guns on the battleship's deck fire again.
“Boom…Boom…!”
Two shells whizzed past and simultaneously hit the invincible battleship in front.
The warship that was hit was blown into two pieces at that moment, with thick smoke and wood chips flying in the air, causing the other four warships to stop for a short moment.
In that brief moment, the cannon in the second-floor cabin of the enemy ship actually fired at the largest inclination angle.
Dozens of shells fell, but none of them hit the four warships. However, it was obvious that the four captains had given up attacking the enemy flagship at this moment.
They were so frightened that they were turning the boat around!
These bastards!
Count Pizarro gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Order them to attack the enemy flagship!"
However, in the huge water column and thick smoke, the four invincible warships seemed not to see his flag signal. In panic, they turned their bows and aimed their guns at the oncoming enemy ships.
“Commander…!”
"Boom...!" A shell hit the command cabin on the third deck.
"Boom...!" Another shell hit the second deck.
“Boom boom boom…”
Battleship No. 2 was only ten feet away from the four enemy ships.
At this moment, it was hit by at least ten shells!
It still didn't sink!
It's burning in flames!
Its power compartment was not attacked, and it rushed towards the enemy ship like a huge fireball, fearlessly.
It hit the hull of the first enemy ship, and the captain of the enemy ship saw the ferocious, fang-like ramming horns of the enemy ship in horror.
"Bang……!"
“Crack…!”
The enemy ship was directly split into two halves by the second battleship!
Its powerful power continued to be output, it knocked away the invincible battleship and crashed into the enemy fleet.
Bai Yulian's heart was broken. "Ye Changjiang... send an order to all warships, avenge Ye Changjiang!"
The five dreadnought-class battleships watched Ye Changjiang's No. 2 battleship rush into the enemy fleet. They were extremely angry. In an instant, their anger turned into artillery shells that whizzed into the enemy fleet. The roar of artillery shells shook the sky again, and three enemy ships were hit and silenced.
Pizarro also responded at this moment.
The only ten remaining warships formed teams of two and engaged in a battle on the vast ocean.
However, he only then realized the power of the enemy ship.
They are so fast!
Our own warships were simply unable to escape the pursuit of the enemy ships.
The enemy ship's main gun fire is equally fierce, and it can fire at your own ships while pursuing them.
His heart gradually grew colder. Seeing that he only had six ships left, he made his final decision.
"Order! Fight to the death!"
