Chapter 1542 Do you know what a steel battleship is? !
Under normal circumstances, even an assault ship would not be able to catch up with a steam ironclad ship.
Before the advent of steam ironclad ships, the reason why assault ships were the fastest units in naval battles was because both sides' ship units relied on manpower.
Under this premise, by removing everything that could be removed and reducing the weight to a minimum, the assault ship, which was built only to transport soldiers to attack enemy ships, naturally became the fastest unit in naval battles.
But the steam ironclad ship is different. It uses steam power. In terms of power, it is an all-round upgrade. It is not something that the old-fashioned warships that still rely on manpower and wind power can easily compete with.
In this wave, as long as Bai Tu increases the speed and wants to hide, those assault ships cannot get close to them at all.
But Bai Tu didn't intend to do so.
At this stage, they were under the almost map-cannon-like attacks from the opposing sage mage who had reached the holy realm, and they finally managed to get close.
At this time, turning around and leaving to avoid those assault ships? Wasn't that a joke? After confirming this news, Bai Tu immediately gave the order...
"Pay attention to the movements of Hans Blaze, the Vajra Realm warrior on the opposite side, and run him over!"
At this moment, Bai Tu even wondered if the guys on the opposite side had some misunderstanding about the iron battleship.
Or maybe they haven't figured out what a steel battleship is? The assault ship with a metal ram, while advancing at high speed, hit the wooden hull of the old-fashioned warship, which is indeed a destructive force that cannot be ignored.
But this is a steel battleship! A steel battleship! Do you know what a steel battleship is?
If they were replaced with the old large warships, they would be big enough to ram into them and pose a threat to them.
But to the ironclad ship No. 001, these little broken ships of yours are like ants on the roadside. They will run over you without even a second glance!
“Woo——”
The low whistle sounded like a steel monster roaring.
Facing the assault ship rushing towards them, under the command of Bai Tu, the ironclad ship No. 001 fought as it should.
The main focus is still on sinking the large warships of the opposing Patton fleet.
As for Patton's navy, facing this steel behemoth, it did not make effective adjustments to its actions.
The moment the high-speed assault ship collided with the ironclad ship No. 001, the fragile hull shattered on the spot.
Amid screams, the Patton soldiers on the ship didn't even have time to take further action before they were swept into the waves caused by the high-speed sailing of the No. 001 ironclad ship! This scene made many commando members shudder, and as they watched the steel monster break through the waves and continue to approach, the sense of oppression became stronger and stronger, and many Patton soldiers were frightened on the spot.
"How the hell are we going to fight this monster?!"
“Get out of the way, get out of the way!!”
On the sea, the Patton Navy was in chaos, but the ironclad ship No. 001 had a clear target, pointing directly at the large warship opposite that had just been bombarded by their sixteen guns.
Normally speaking, with damage to this extent and seawater already pouring into the cabin, it is only a matter of time before this large warship sinks, and there is no need to worry about it anymore.
But Bai Tu knew that the saintly wizard on the opposite side was still on the boat, and was even competing with Bolevin for the natural energy in the area.
Then you won't have any peace...
"Fire!"
The ship turned sideways and the guns opened fire again.
For the main flagship of Patton's fleet, this was a complete devastation.
During an attack, even if a large warship has lost its combat capability, it still takes a lot of time for it to sink completely. It doesn't sink to the bottom all at once. It's not that fast.
The soldiers on board could take this opportunity to transfer.
But now the ruthless pursuit of the ironclad ship No. 001 has greatly accelerated this process.
Under such circumstances, Jabbar was forced to stop meditating and moved to one of the small boats under the protection of his guards.
At this moment, these small boats that were originally used to attack enemy ships have completely become their lifeboats.
Bai Tu ignored the small boats. A small boat that had been lightweighted to the maximum extent possible had questionable quality and carrying capacity, and could not carry much supplies at all.
Having completely separated themselves from the North Sea of Patton, they could not even escape back to the North Sea with only a small boat. In the end, they would either be salvaged and taken prisoner, or die directly at sea.
At this point, Bai Tu had already given the order to adjust the angle and turn the guns towards the remaining two large warships.
“Fuck! I can’t run away, I have to fight them! Crash into them! Crash into them!!”
On this naval battlefield, facing the old-style warships, the 001 ironclad ship is a complete dimensionality reduction attack. The overwhelming gap will make the enemy feel desperate, but it may also force the enemy to another extreme.
At this moment, on the remaining two large warships of Patton's fleet, the two captains who were forced into a corner, became more and more aggressive and started to attack fiercely! As a commander, Bai Tu was a man with a strong sense of offense and a very aggressive fighting style, but being aggressive did not mean he was stupid.
He knew what size of ship could be run over directly and what size of ship was best to be avoided.
The artillery of their Great Zhou is not a close combat weapon, so they can still fire while keeping a safe distance.
The speed difference is there. Even a speedboat cannot catch up with a steam ironclad ship, let alone a large warship.
As soon as they turned around, they were left far behind. When they turned back, the 32 guns on the ship had cooled down.
At the same time, a part of the sea surface suddenly exploded, and a figure directly crushed the small boat under his feet and jumped onto the deck of the ironclad ship No. 001.
Needless to say, it was Hans, the commander-in-chief of the Patton fleet, who possessed the strength of the King Kong realm.
At the moment when Jabar temporarily lost his combat capability, Hans believed that he had become the only hope for Patton's fleet to turn defeat into victory.
As long as he could capture this iron battleship, the entire battle situation would be quickly reversed.
At this moment, Hans was burdened with a heavy responsibility and his face was solemn.
However, from Harald's mouth, the Great Zhou fleet led by Bai Tu had already known his intelligence, and had even specifically emphasized the need to pay attention to his movements.
At this moment, the deck space of the Ironclad Ship No. 001 had long been cleared. There was no sign of a Great Zhou soldier. Only three skeletons with strange flames burning in their bones stood there silently...
