Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 236 Chapter 236
Tarun's fleet is advancing along the coastline. This fleet consists of 7 warships.After laying down the infantry and craftsmen, a warship escorted a transport ship full of food and other supplies to anchor at its own landing point, and the remaining seven warships went out in full force to search for possible towns and cities along the coastline. port.

Their task was to capture this port, sink the nearby ships, and then make the opponent surrender, so as to avoid unnecessary losses to the infantry who arrived on land later.

After all, they are the navy, faster than the army in terms of speed, and stronger in firepower than the army.

The kingdom has spent so much money on the navy, so it will naturally see returns. Over the years, the Kingdom of Tarun has expanded its territory on the sea and gained a good reputation, relying on its powerful and combative sea power.

Compared with other warships of the Kingdom, the warships of the Tarun Kingdom are larger and slender, which looks a bit awkward.

What is even more embarrassing is that the naval warships of the Tarun Kingdom do not use white sails, but light yellow sails, which look very recognizable.

In fact, the color of the sails used by Tarun Kingdom was brown at the beginning, but after being exposed to the wind and sun at sea, these sails quickly turned light yellow because of unqualified dyeing.

It is more expensive to replace, and there is no good solution to the problem of fading, so Tarun Kingdom just held its nose and endured it, and still used this light yellow sail.

"I really didn't expect that someone built a town here for us. Hahaha." Standing on the deck, the commander of the Tarun fleet joked triumphantly.

He is not afraid of battle, nor does he think his fleet will lose.He deliberately calculated the enemy's unintentional, as long as the enemy did not build a fort on the most dangerous part of the coastline, he had a great chance of winning.

The opponent's warship will be blocked in the port, and it will be destroyed by shells before sailing.After the opponent loses his sea power, he will choose to surrender in most cases.

Next is the matter of diplomatic negotiations. Everyone sits down and argues, attacks and abuses each other. In the end, the losing party admits the loss with its nose, and Tarun Kingdom will win another victory.

In short, he seemed to have seen the end of the whole thing.

"My lord, the wind is in our favor now!" The adjutant came over, with the flag with the steering wheel flying above his head.

He said with some concern: "Our fleet is advancing at full speed! But this island is bigger than expected."

The Tarun Kingdom has not fully surveyed the island, and when they really use their own actions to measure the island, they find that it is really a dead horse.

This damn island is really big, and it is estimated that their navy will not be able to find the enemy's port as planned.

But if it is night, the person who escaped from the other party will definitely return early and warn his port.But if the other party is prepared, things will be completely different.

If the opponent's warship is not in the port, but on the sea, then the naval battle must rely on real skills.

"It doesn't matter, we haven't seen the end of the island yet, which means that the island is huge. If we don't find the port before nightfall, then we can have plenty of time to wait for the action tomorrow morning." The commander of the fleet thought Thinking, comforting his adjutant.

According to his calculations, the speed of the few deserters who might report the letter must not even reach half of his own battleship, and it is impossible to rush back to the enemy's port to report the report that night.

What he didn't know was that just as he was advancing, there was a battleship emitting thick smoke, rushing towards his fleet at a high speed of 30 kilometers per hour.

Because of the headwind, the thick smoke billowing on the battleship was swept up by the sea breeze and left behind gracefully.

On the top of the mast, sailors with binoculars are carefully searching the sea, they want to find possible enemy fleets, and then let these enemies go to God.

Standing on the bridge, the captain of the Bunas 4, with his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes and waited for his prey.

Like his opponent, he didn't think that his battleship would encounter enemies at sea, and those so-called enemies were all just his prey.

His battleship is made of steel, his artillery is a new type of breech-loading gun, and his shells are cracked shells. There is no reason for him to lose any naval battle in this era.

Those wooden sailboats are just ants in front of him. As long as his battleship finds enemies, he can easily sink them.

The premise is that as long as he can find the enemy...

Finding targets in the vast sea is a bit annoying, because even if you know that the enemy is nearby, the planet under your feet is round. As long as the distance between the two sides is more than 40 kilometers, even the radar cannot find the target.

The vicinity of Long Island is not a popular route, so there is no way to follow the previous tactic of killing dozens of transport ships along the route of Bunas 1.

There is only one piece of the most primitive and unexplored sea here, with lush island forests and cliffs on one side, and the endless sea on the other side.

"Captain, we are about to reach the central waters of Long Island... We haven't found any enemy ships yet." The adjutant seemed a little anxious, and began to report.

The captain didn't take his eyes off the sea level, but comforted him without turning his head: "Don't worry, not all ships have our speed. Calculate the time, the other party should be within a distance of here." It's far away."

"I hope we can make a contribution in this battle... Otherwise, those guys on the Battleship Bunas 1 will show off to Chief Bernard again." The adjutant explained his anxiety.

He was just eager to fight, that's why he was so anxious, anxious that he would miss the prey, and then give up the credit in front of him to others.

Before the battle broke out, the long wait always made people a little impatient. It was not until the afternoon of the same day that the Bunas 31, which had accelerated to 4 kilometers per hour, finally found the enemy's sails on the sea level.

A sailor with a telescope saw the pale yellow sails, and saw the brown flag flying from the ship.

He hurriedly turned around and shouted loudly to the communication line behind him: "Straight ahead! Enemy fleet! Enemy fleet found!"

Then the battle alarm was sounded, and in the not-so-pleasant corridors of Burnas 4, sailors running towards their combat posts could be seen everywhere.

"It finally appeared!" The excited adjutant obviously breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the binoculars and looked at the enemy's sailboat in the distance, as if he was looking at a golden mountain floating on the sea.

That's what the big bad wolf felt when he saw the little white rabbit. He had already calculated his military achievements in his heart, and fantasized about bragging about his brilliant achievements with his companions on Bunas 1 after returning home.

"Three warships can be seen, and there must be more behind them. We can cut to the open sea and fight from the side." The adjutant put down the binoculars in his hand, and then looked at the captain beside him.

The captain nodded slightly, and agreed with the adjutant's plan: "Let the battleship slow down to 20 kilometers! Adjust the course...don't go too fast, it's too late to fire."

"Understood!" The adjutant hurried to convey the order, and with the roar of the steam engine, Bunas 4 began to slow down.

At the same time, at each artillery position, the soldiers have skillfully opened the breech bolts and pushed the shells into the barrels. They can't see the outside situation at all. For them, war seems to be an ordinary job .

They just need to get used to being in a closed environment, pushing one shell after another into the barrel, and then wait for the cannon to roar, and then continue to repeat their skilled movements.

Before their warships were penetrated and sunk, they were actually just working, not fighting in the true sense.

Therefore, they can maintain a peaceful state of mind and complete the killing in an orderly manner, just like their descendants controlling drones 100 years later.

"Loading complete!" During the long wait, a loader closed the breech breech and reported loudly to the officer who had been waiting by his side for a long time.

And this officer is the gunner of this artillery. He is responsible for deciding when to fire based on the correction parameters provided by the sight around him.

On the distant sea, the Taren sailors on the sailboats have also discovered the strange big ship cutting into their sides.

They could see the black smoke billowing behind the big ship, and they could already see its slender side that was adjusting its course.

It was a ship a little longer than their galleon, and it looked like a warship.

Because the sailors of Tarun, who were also observing their opponents carefully, had already recognized the two cannons that were turning from the increasingly clear outline of the opponent's warship.

Moreover, the dragon flag on this battleship obviously declared that this battleship was related to the unlucky guy they killed, after all, the unlucky guy who came to negotiate also had the same mark on his body.

"The cannon is loaded!" The two sides were walking toward each other at a distance of about 1000 meters. The gunners on the battleship of the Tarun Kingdom were also ready for battle.

At this moment, on the Battleship Bunas 4 of the Datang Group, the captain has issued an order to fire: "Target the enemy ship! Fire when you are ready! Sink them! Avenge our comrades in arms!"

Then, in the next second, the front and rear main guns of the Battleship Bunas 4 spewed out flames, a cloud of thick smoke billowed out from the muzzle, and three shells also rushed to two different targets.

The cannonball full of hatred leaped a distance of less than 1000 meters, directly hit the hull of the enemy ship, and then burst open, turning into a mass of flames that devoured everything.
-
There is one more later, everyone should watch it tomorrow morning.
