Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 212 212 You Don't Understand
Off the coast of Osa Port, two Burnas-class ironclad battleships emitting black smoke are engaged in a fierce artillery battle with the fleet of the Poplar Kingdom in chaos in the port.

This artillery battle was really fierce. Tang Mo's ironclad battleship kept firing shells into the hull of the Yangmu Kingdom's battleship, and the Yangmu Kingdom's warship kept firing shells into the sea water.

The scene looks very intense, but in terms of the situation, this is already a one-sided battle.The elves' navy is being destroyed, and they are stuck in the harbor with no escape.

Looking at the cannons that couldn't reach him from a distance, the captain of the Battleship Bunas 2 sneered and ordered: "Port side! 310 meters! Adjust the shooting parameters!"

"Port side! 310 meters! The shooting parameters have been adjusted!" The weapons officer standing not far in front of him immediately repeated the order.

They could see that on the front deck of their bridge, the twin guns adjusted the elevation angle of the barrel slightly, and then fixed it in a new position.

"Fire!" Ever since, the captain ordered softly.The enemy ship could actually fire back at this distance, so after reloading, he immediately gave the order to fire.

In the distance, an elf sailboat also fired more than a dozen shells, which hit the steel armor of the Battleship Bunas 2, leaving some undetectable shallow pits on it.

The weapons officer shouted loudly. "Fire!"

"Boom!" Accompanied by his shout, the visible bow turret and the invisible stern turret roared together, and three shells flew into the elf fleet.

The explosion stirred up a water column higher than the lighthouse, and at the same time completely blew up an elf warship in two.

Soon, the Bunas 2 warship following behind the Bunas 3 battleship also fired a salvo, blowing another wooden sailboat of the Poplar Kingdom to pieces.

Battleships equipped with large-caliber naval guns and grenades do have a unique advantage when facing wooden sailing ships.Relying on such a huge advantage, the two armored battleships are like dragons, rushing from left to right, as if entering a land without people.

The Osa Naval Port, which has been fighting fiercely for almost an hour, is already feeling like the end of the world at this moment, with the tragedy and tragedy of running out of ammunition and food.

The poplar kingdom naval fleet stationed here has 18 warships, plus the garrison fleet already deployed here, there are a total of 22 warships, and 4 armed merchant ships responsible for transporting supplies.

In addition to the coastal defense force and the port defense force, there are a total of 1500 people in a legion, and another 500 people are deployed in a coastal defense battery defense force.

These land forces combined had 30 artillery pieces, most of which were deployed on the Osa Fort, facing the sea that blocked the port.

The current situation is that the 26 warships in the Osa Naval Port, which is blocked, are fighting hard in the port, and it seems that they can no longer hold on.

Ten of the warships have been completely sunk, and at least six more have lost their combat capabilities.

The Yangmu Kingdom suffered heavy losses this time, and their naval numerical advantage was gone, even compared to several neighboring countries, they were already at a complete disadvantage.

The immediate problem is that even if they still have a numerical advantage, facing two such weird and powerful warships, they really dare not say that they can win.

Even, they couldn't even save their warships.No matter where they hide, they will be mercilessly attacked and destroyed by the opponent!

Among the remaining battleships, there is no flagship.The fleet commander of the elves, that is, the commander-in-chief, just swam to the shore at this moment, and was lying on the rocks of the breakwater, gasping for breath.

Fortunately, the place where the fierce battle broke out was within the port, and the fleet was not too far from the pier, so the elf officers and soldiers who fell into the water could swim back to the shore to find a way out.

However, the warships they controlled could not go ashore, so the sailors who had landed could only watch the friendly warships, and in the end only masts remained standing on the sea.

"Damn it, why did they come here?" The commander-in-chief of the Yangmu Kingdom Fleet, who had become a drowned chicken, asked angrily, seeing that his fleet was about to be wiped out.

Calculating the time, the two extremely fast warships should have started heading north shortly after they were attacked by 12 warships from the Yangmu Kingdom going south.

Perhaps...it was precisely because of the 12 warships going south that they angered these terrifying enemies and made them give up blocking the Nanshui and attack Osa aggressively.

Thinking of this, he really regretted it.If he had known that the enemy was so vicious and difficult to deal with, he shouldn't have sent 12 warships to provoke such an enemy!

The delay in information killed the elf navy. They didn't know where the enemy came from until they lost more than half of it, and who they were...

"General... The Walnut sank... Our fleet has been dispersed, but it seems that they can't break out..." A wet officer staggered over, and reported in embarrassment.

They have already lost the battle, and in this case, no one can escape the responsibility.So everyone is very depressed and very hopeless.

Because they wanted to try their best to explain how their 26 warships were easily wiped out by two enemy warships...

Moreover, counting the loss of supporting Nanshui, before and after, 36 warships and at least 40 armed merchant ships in the Yangmu Kingdom have been sunk.

For a country near the sea, this basically means that the navy has lost more than half of its mobile forces.

For a navy that emphasizes mobility and flexibility, this is no different from losing its combat capability.In fact, the shipping of Yangmu Kingdom has been paralyzed, and Nanshui Port has not recovered one-fifth of its original throughput.

The two warships emitting black smoke in front of them didn't intend to stop. The cannons on the opponent's warships were still roaring, and the few remaining warships on the sea were finally overwhelmed and began to sink slowly.

After sinking all the warships in front of them, the two steel warships approached the pier and bombarded the city and castle built far away from the port with cannons on the deck.

A huge explosion destroyed a corner of the castle, and at the same time billows of black smoke rose from the urban area.At the same time that the city was in chaos, an explosion occurred on the fort, and several black smoke rolled up, as if a monster was struggling and tearing between the sky and the earth.

Then, under the watchful eyes of many drowned sailors of the navy, the two warships drove away, as if they didn't want to stay for a second.

Seeing the two plumes of smoke going away, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Fleet leaning on the big rock on the breakwater let out a sigh of relief, but he didn't realize that he had already felt awe of the two warships from the bottom of his heart.

He was afraid of those battleships that came and went like shadows, afraid of hearing the dull sound of guns, afraid of seeing the water column that was stirred up by explosive shells that was higher than the lighthouse...

Even after watching the two warships leave, he still has lingering fears.He knew that even if his 30 warships were still there, today he was still the desperate guy who was held in the water and beaten.

"Hope, they won't come back again." Finally, he still expressed his inner thoughts, because he was afraid that he would not be able to say such things again in the future.

After losing almost half of the kingdom's sea power, his role as a naval commander can be regarded as the end.

"Yeah, I hope I don't have to fight against such an opponent again." The adjutant, who was also wet, fell down and sat down, looking at the gradually calming sea, and said with emotion.

In less than two hours, Osa Port, the largest military port in the Poplar Kingdom, was completely finished.

If they want to recover, they must at least salvage these sunken battleships—there is good news, at least in the front sea, they may be able to salvage all the Cyric muzzle guns on the battleships.

It is unusable, but going back to the furnace and re-smelting... In fact, it can still make up for some losses...

The day after the two Burnas-class battleships disappeared on the sea, several knights escorted an officer and rushed to the main gate of the castle in Port Osa.

"Are they still there? Are they still there?" Out of breath, the leading officer got off his horse and asked weakly when he was being supported by someone, regardless of his weakened legs.

"Who?" Osa's officers and guards looked at the messenger who came from afar and asked.In the last day, they were busy cleaning up the port, and they didn't react for a while.

The officer adjusted his state, took the water bottle handed over by the person next to him, took a big sip, barely recovered, and immediately asked: "Those two steel warships..."

"You're late...they've already left." The admiral who rushed over after receiving the news replied gloomily.

"No, didn't it cause any damage?" The officer immediately asked nervously.

"...You're running all the way, why don't you take a break?" The naval officer could only end the topic in shame.

The officer who came to deliver the news immediately frowned, emphasizing the importance of the news: "Damn it, they have already attacked the port? Did the fleet lose a lot? Lord Marquis is waiting for the news of the loss and the battle!"

The admiral also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he could only bite the bullet and replied: "Our warships are all in the port..."

"That's okay." The officer who came to deliver the news breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next thing he heard, he almost fainted.

Because, just listen to the admiral continue to explain: "No, you don't understand, they all sank in the port..."

"What?" The officer was taken aback when he heard the news, then turned pale with fright, and finally passed out.

The people around managed to wake him up again. As soon as he opened his eyes, he said, "T-pass the news back to Nanshui... Hurry up! Hurry up..."
