Ming Zuo

Chapter 954
Three kilometers.

This is an absolutely safe distance for the North Korean navy.

Even on flat water, the ships of the Xia Kingdom Navy were already a bit blurred in their eyes.

Seeing Xia Guo's navy laying the ship so far away and not attacking, the North Korean navy was at a loss for what to do.

Is it setting up a position and waiting for the North Korean navy to attack?
If this is the case, then Liu Lin will be overjoyed.

He will never attack.

Since the Xia Guohai Navy is willing to delay, then delay it.

Anyway, as soon as noon passed, the situation reversed, and the North Korean navy had a greater hope of winning.

But in the eyes of the Xia Guo Navy, the layout of the North Korean navy is clear at a glance.

Through high-powered binoculars, the expressions of many North Koreans can even be seen clearly.

Encouraged by generous remuneration, the craftsmen of Xia Kingdom were very motivated and worked hard to improve their technology.

The lenses they grind are of higher and higher quality.

At the same time, the understanding of optics is also forming an increasingly perfect system, which has also helped the creation of various tools.

First the monocular, then the astronomical telescope, then the microscope.By now, binoculars have begun to equip the entire army.

Compared with the original monocular, the magnification is higher and the observation is clearer, which greatly helped Xia Jun's operations.

In the eyes of Bai Dasheng, North Korea.The navy's ship also straddles the water, and anchors are used to stabilize the ship, and the artillery is aimed at this side
It's a pity that North Korea's small artillery can't hit Xia Guo's navy at this distance.

He saw that the North Korean navy was divided into three parts, guarding the two islands respectively, and then the main force moved forward, so he determined the battle plan.

"Target the enemy's main force and prepare for firepower."

At a distance of [-] meters, Xia Jun's light naval guns and rocket launchers couldn't hit them either.

Only heavy artillery can be put into use.

Although there is only one heavy cannon on each ship, it seems that the number is scarce, but the enemy can only be beaten and cannot fight back, so it doesn't matter.

After receiving the order, the messenger quickly conveyed it to other ships through semaphore.At the same time, the surveying and mapping staff began to report data.

"The distance is 3100 meters, the left deviation is 0.3, the height is 4.5, one shot is calibrated, let it go!"

On Bai Dasheng's flagship, the heavy artillery fired alone.

Amidst the billowing smoke, the cannonballs flew out and quickly crossed the sky.

As a result, it did not hit any target, but fell on the water surface, causing a wave more than ten meters high.

Seeing Xia Jun firing artillery, the North Korean Navy was all stunned.

What's the use of firing at such a long distance?
Almost everyone felt a chill when the huge waves surged behind them.

Although they don't know what cross-shooting is, but since Xia Jun's artillery can hit their backs, doesn't that mean...

"High and low 4.33, salvo!"

Xia Jun's artillery already possessed the ability to conduct systematic operations, and quickly determined the data by calibrating the shooting.

And then all the heavy artillery fired together.

The cannons were fired like thunder, and the earth was shaken, and all the lucky boats were shaken violently, and the water surface was also turbulent.

But such a little movement is completely incomparable with what happened to the North Korean navy.

Almost all of the eight shells smashed into the array of the North Korean navy.

Two of them hit directly and immediately blew up the two hut boats to pieces.The savage storm flew around with broken wood and limbs, and severely damaged the surrounding ships.

Countless North Koreans were still ignorant, and they were blown up to ashes, leaving no bones left.

The remaining shells that did not hit, even if they fell into the water, still overturned three hut boats, causing several nearby ships to collide with each other.

Although the wooden house boats of the Koreans are slightly larger than the Guan boats of the Dongying people, they still cannot withstand the power of heavy artillery.

"what is this?"

Liu Lin originally sat peacefully, feeling that the situation was under control.But at this time, he jumped up and stared at the messy formation of his own side in a daze.

Cannons that can hit more than five miles, do they really exist?
However, those warships that disappeared and the soldiers struggling on the water reminded him that all this was true.

"Sir, what should we do?"

The North Korean Navy panicked.

Now they've been attacked and there's a loss.But even if they want to fight back, their artillery can't hit the enemy!
Liu Lin's scalp was numb, and the panicked shouts of the soldiers filled her ears.

There is still an hour before noon, can we survive until that time?

Before he could finish thinking, Xia Jun's formation roared again.

The reloading speed of the rear-loading artillery is really too fast, and the second round was played in a short period of time.

Because the ships of the North Korean Navy are all stationary, there is no need to re-adjust the aim at all, just continue to launch.

The effect of the second round of bombardment was even better than that of the first round, completely blowing up five wooden houseboats.

Seeing that a large part of the original thick formation of her side was cut off, Liu Lin's soul was terrified, and she didn't dare to delay any longer.

"Order the whole army to charge forward! Rush forward and destroy the enemy with artillery!"

Liu Lin had to change her tactics.

The super long range and loading speed of Xia Jun's artillery completely exceeded his cognition.If the North Korean Navy continues to stay in place, he dare not guess how much it will lose.

For now, the only way is to narrow the distance between the two sides.Then take advantage of the larger number of your own side, hoping to turn defeat into victory.

Even if the current ocean current is not good for him, he can't care about it.

The North Korean navy raised anchor one after another, and began to rush towards the Xia Kingdom fleet against the ocean current.

But the difference is a thousand miles away, even if the Korean sailors on these wooden houseboats have mustered all their strength to paddle, human strength is really nothing in front of nature.

In the extremely fast upstream, the speed of the Korean warships was extremely slow, like a turtle crawling.

Xia Guojun remained indifferent, and continued to fire at his own pace.

Now that the enemy has moved, unified command no longer applies.So all the warships searched for targets by themselves and fired by themselves.

This method will not reduce the lethality of the artillery, and North Korean warships will still be destroyed from time to time.

And as the North Korean ship gets closer, the probability of hitting is higher and the loss is greater.

Standing next to Bai Dasheng, watching the hearty movements of Xia Jun's artillery, Quan Li couldn't help but feel chills all over his body.

He never thought that there would be such a sharp weapon in the world.

Fortunately, he stood on Xia Jun's side early, otherwise, if he faced this kind of weapon, it would be more enjoyable to commit suicide.

Opposite him, Liu Lin's eyes were bloodshot, and she kept urging the fleet to go faster and faster.

As long as it can reach within the distance of the Xia State Navy, the artillery of the North Korean Navy will be useful.

That is the only chance to turn defeat into victory!
