Chapter 264 Chapter 264
Pulling out the new breech breech, the loader of the Datang Group naval soldiers in the turret calmly pushed a shell into the breech, and then pushed the propellant in with it.

After closing the breech breech, he raised his arm, and a few seconds later, the cannon suddenly sat back. After withdrawing a distance of more than two feet, it quickly returned to its original position.

The not-so-thick turret armor plate isolated the noise of the artillery firing. The soldiers in the turret only heard a muffled sound, and then continued to load.

Anyway, they couldn't see the results of their battles, but they could hear the non-commissioned officers who were in charge of aiming loudly reporting the results of the shelling.

For these sailors, naval battles are basically like playing games. They just need to repeat their work, and victory will come soon.

Anyway, they can still feel the tension of the battlefield to some extent. The coal-burning workers on duty in the hull, as well as soldiers such as charters and cooks, can't even feel that the battle has broken out.

"Boom!" Two balls of flames spewed out from the front main gun of the Burnas-class battleship following behind the Wolf 1 battleship.

The two shells hit the target almost at the same time, and the sailboat that was hit broke directly, the front half was still being pulled forward by the sail, and the back half had overturned and entered the water.

The Tarun Kingdom's squadron, which was planning to double-team the Datang Fleet, finally understood the gap between the warships of the two sides, and several warships began to turn in a panic.

As a result, before they could turn around, they were hit by incoming shells, and soon returned to the embrace of the God of the Sea.

The remaining battleships tried to intimidate Datang's warships by firing guns, but they soon waited for the second round of attacks from the wolf-class warships.

The dense shells flew directly into the array of the Tarun Kingdom's fleet, and then there was a real burst of chicken and dog jumping.

It was indeed a chicken and a dog jumping - the mast of a battleship in the Tarun fleet fell in the explosion, and the huge mast directly split into the sea water, and the steering wheel king flag was floating on the sea, looking so embarrassed .

Originally lined up, the Tarun warships, who were ready to show off their densely packed naval guns to their opponents, finally realized how naive and ridiculous they were.

Before they could fire a shot, they were hit by the shell and turned into burning and exploding wretches.

With the sound of cannons one after another, Admiral Talen, who was in charge of commanding the squadron, suddenly realized a serious problem.

He is in the middle, or the battleship he is on... seems to be getting closer and closer to the enemy's battleship.

Almost all the warships driving in front of him were destroyed or completely sunk in front of him.

Now, finally, it was his turn.

He wanted to turn around and run away, but before he could move his feet, he suddenly remembered that he was at sea now, and he must not be able to avoid the enemy's artillery fire.

In fact, it was not too different from what he guessed—just when he was hesitating whether to jump into the sea and escape, a shell struck, completely destroying his idea of ​​escape.Because, he is dead...

Equipped with tube recoil guns and explosive bombs, the Datang Group's naval fleet is simply carrying out a boring dimension reduction strike when facing the sailing ships and front-loading guns of the Tarun Kingdom.

"What's that! What's that?" On the other side of the battlefield, General Warren, who was listening to the roar of the cannon and watching the explosion and flames, pulled the adjutant's collar and asked loudly.

He hasn't figured out what happened yet. After all, he can't see the battlefield on the other side clearly, so he can only guess out of thin air.

It's a pity that no matter how boldly he guessed, he couldn't guess that more than half of the 21 warships he allocated had already disappeared at this moment.

"Press it! Press it! Share the pressure of the fleet on the other side! Don't let them run away!" Varen yelled through gritted teeth, fearing that his squadron would suffer losses.

In his opinion, the other party must be desperate, ready to give up the port and escape.So he made the decision to press the whole line, hoping to wipe out the opponent's fleet before the opponent breaks through.

"Press up! Eliminate all the enemy ships on the starboard side! Then speed up! Prepare to attack the enemy warships on the other side!" Bernard, who did not relax in the slightest, also issued a new order at this moment.

Seeing that the enemy fleet on his flank was unable to fight any more, he had almost withdrawn from the battle, so he decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue and eat this squadron first.

Anyway, the warships of the Datang Group have an advantage in speed. Using this advantage, he can do whatever he wants, simply doing whatever he wants.

Already having inferior weapons, they could easily crush their opponents. As the distance continued to narrow, the 75mm broadside gun from the Datang Group joined the battle.

These artillery made up for the gap in the number of artillery on the battleships of the Datang Group, and just after joining the battle, the sailors of the Tarun Kingdom on the opposite side were completely stunned.

The soldiers of Tarun Kingdom had never seen such ferocious firepower at all. They didn't even have time to scream before they were dizzy by the explosive bullets.

After they finally figured out the situation, they were surprised to find that they had become drowning people floating on the sea.

The battle was still going on, and the four steel battleships lined up, isolated the battlefield, and also smashed the Tarun fleet on the flanks.

Warren, the general of Talun Kingdom, is still planning to encircle and wipe out the Datang Group's fleet even until now.

However, the cruelty of this war far exceeded his expectations.He didn't even know that at this moment, his fleet on the other side, with a total of 21 warships, was either sunk or injured, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

The naval battleships of the Datang Group lined up in the battle line fully explained what it means to kill people as soon as they pass by.When they passed the opposing fleet, they sank all the enemy ships.

"Turn! Left rudder! Bite the tail of the enemy fleet! Sink them all!" After gaining the advantage, Bernard continued to issue orders.

After the two sides fought for 20 minutes, the Datang Group's fleet turned around again. This time, the enemy's figure-of-eight flanking formation had been completely broken, leaving only the one of the two.

At this time, because of the previous mobilization and steering, the Tarun Kingdom's fleet formed a roughly "<" shape.

In order to pursue the faster Datang Group's fleet, this shape is now almost turned sideways, and it has obviously deformed.

To put it bluntly, because the fleet of the Datang Group is faster, the formation of the Tarun Kingdom's fleet has begun to appear chaotic.

General Warren naturally knows that this situation is very unfavorable to him, but he has no good way to change the fact that has already happened.

There are a total of 55 warships on his side, the positions are messy, and the delay in command and dispatch is also very high.It takes a lot of time to sort out the formation, but he doesn't have much time now.

As time went by, the Datang Fleet, which had given up its vision and position, had bitten the tail of the Tarun fleet, and the Tarun warships ahead, including the flagship where General Warren was located, had seen the destruction of the Tarun Kingdom the squadron.

They saw the wreckage of the battleship that was still burning, saw the half of the battleship still floating on the sea, and saw the broken steering wheel king's flag...

Everything in front of him completely stunned Varen. He didn't expect that not only did his squadron fail to prevent the opponent from penetrating through the encirclement, but even his entire army was wiped out...

At this moment, Varun realized that the naval battle had been completely out of control: all his arrangements before the battle had failed!

The tactical arrangement of the two-wing flank attack that was drawn up before the war has now completely failed. The 21 warships in the fleet responsible for the flank attack were severely damaged by the enemy and completely withdrew from the battle.

The main force of the fleet he led was in a mess due to the pursuit, and was even bitten by the tail of the opponent.

He, who can only rely on shouting and semaphore to command the fleet, is actually unable to reverse the defeat.

"My lord! The situation is not good!" Looking at the black smoke on the sea surface that had bitten the tail of his fleet in the distance, the adjutant said to Varun with some trepidation.

At this time, General Warren also felt that sitting still might ruin the entire fleet.So he immediately issued an order and shouted to the adjutant: "Turn immediately! Order all the nearby warships to turn! Go for the tail of our fleet!"

He felt that as long as he turned around to drive away the enemy fleet, at least half of the warships could be kept.

After stabilizing their position, they will take advantage of their large number of warships and stand in a stalemate with the opponent for a period of time.At night, the two sides can distance themselves.

"Turn around! Turn around!" The adjutant immediately conveyed General Warren's order. With the execution of this order, the formation of the main naval fleet of the entire Tarun Kingdom became more chaotic.

On a flat surface, the Tarun Kingdom's fleet now seems to be in the shape of a vertical hook, and the distances between the warships are uneven, and even cover each other's muzzles, making it basically impossible to fire.

The battlefield was in chaos, with warships turning or avoiding everywhere, and at the outermost edge of this chaos, four Datang Group warships had already bit the target and started a new round of attacks.

With the sound of cannons one after another, the warships of Tarun Kingdom began to explode and sink again.One after another, battleships were hit, damaged, then forced to slow down and eventually sunk.

There was no time to take care of those companions who fell into the water, and it was too late to fire back. These captains and commanders who watched the enemy catch up to them, and then fired and sunk their Tarun Kingdom, could only give orders indiscriminately with tears.

Some warships hoisted white flags, and some chose to escape from the fleet, but they soon discovered that none of these choices seemed to change their fate of being sunk...
