Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 647 Chapter 647
Thin skin and big stuffing with eighteen folds... This is used to describe Goubuli buns, but at this moment it seems to be very appropriate to describe Cyric's battleship.

Although the armor is quite thick for other battleships, it is like a piece of kraft paper in front of the 305 mm caliber artillery of the battleships of the Tang Army.

Kazuo Mirage was about to vomit blood as he watched his battleship, which was as huge as a mountain, explode and capsize in the sea.

The navy he commanded was the last hope of Mirage, and many of these warships were procured by His Majesty the Mirage King and princes and ministers who cut down on food and clothing and donated money and materials.

In order to assemble such a powerful fleet, the entire mirage country pawned almost all of their pants.If something goes wrong with this fleet, then he is almost the sinner of the entire mirage country.

Therefore, he knew that either he would quickly retreat with the fleet, and then go back to commit suicide and apologize, taking responsibility for the bad situation that sank a battleship.

Either he will lead the fleet here to wipe out the Tang fleet in front of him, and use this feat to compensate himself for the loss of a battleship.

It's a pity that he himself knows better than anyone else that he can't do either of these two options.It is impossible for him to lead the fleet to retreat under the premise that his own speed is too slow, nor can he guarantee the complete annihilation of the Tang army fleet in front of him.

However, he must try!If he gives up at this point, then he will really be responsible for the collapse of the Mirage Kingdom. If he turns defeat into victory, then he will be the hero of the Mirage Kingdom!
"How long will it take to fire?" Mirage Kazuo looked anxiously at the adjutant beside him, and asked impatiently.

Before the adjutant could answer, the Mirage Navy's salvo began again.A series of cannons roared and overwhelmed the other noises, and the sea was full of flames for a while, which was a spectacle.

The moment he heard the sound of his own guns, Kazuo Mirage silently prayed in his heart. He prayed that his own artillery would be lucky enough to hit the enemy ship. This was almost his last hope.

It's just that if praying was useful, then Tang Mo might have been cursed to death by Cyric's person.

Mirage Kazuo's prayer is destined to have no effect. This kind of thing that happens purely by luck, the more someone prays, the less it will happen.

Therefore, in the second round of salvo, the Phantom Navy still could only stare blankly at the jets of water rising into the sky in the distance. They tried their best, and the shells landed closer, but they still failed to hit the Tang Navy.

As the distance between the two sides gradually approached, the follow-up cruisers also started artillery battles with each other. The scene of a round of landslides and earth-shattering artillery fire that burst out after a long while turned into a dense appearance like raindrops.

A large number of 150 mm caliber artillery joined this feast of artillery battles. Water columns began to rise near the battle lines of both sides, and everyone became extremely nervous.

Not all battleships are indestructible, so even the mutual attack of small-caliber artillery is still a decisive battle of life and death in the eyes of the captains of destroyers and cruisers.

Because of the higher rate of fire, artillery battles between small calibers are more brutal and bloody.Soon, a warship of Mirage Kingdom was hit by shells, and immediately after that, another warship of the Tang Army was hit and smoked.

Both sides are constantly pouring their ammunition towards the other side's battle line, firing non-stop, crazy and a little numb.

Compared with the battle of the army, the battle of the navy is more like the daily work of each person performing their duties.The loaders can't see the enemy's battleship at all. They are only responsible for loading ammunition into the barrel of the gun in the closed turret.

At the same time, the soldiers in the boiler room were just constantly shoveling coal into the boiler and turning the valves to let the machines as tall as buildings output the power required by the captain.

Half, or the vast majority, of the soldiers couldn't see the appearance of the enemy, and they couldn't even feel that the war had broken out around them in the second before they died in battle.

"Fire!" The cruiser captain with binoculars ruthlessly gave the order to attack. On a near-parallel route far away from his side, a row of Mirage warships were also firing non-stop in his direction. .

The battle lines of both sides were constantly flickering with fire, and then pieces of white smoke spread out in the black smoke, which looked very spectacular.

Soon, a mirage cruiser was hit by a shell and caught fire. Black smoke billowed from the place where the bullet was shot under the chimney that was already emitting black smoke.

On this side, a destroyer of the Tang Army was also hit, and the twisted iron cabin was completely destroyed where it was hit by the shells. The dead sailors lay in a mess in the cabin that could not be seen at all, and blood flowed down the wires and pipes. flow.

At the same time, the Phantom Battleship, which had begun to turn around, ushered in another salvo attack from the Tang Army. The original fourth battleship attached to the rear was shot, and billowing black smoke also began to rise.

The battleship had already begun to turn, so it was near the stern of the ship that was hit, and the shell penetrated the main gun turret at the rear, which directly caused the explosion of the ammunition depot at the rear.

The thick armor was distorted and deformed by the violent explosion inside, and finally calmed down after the violent shock wave tore apart a cabin inside.

At the moment of the explosion and expansion, the steering gear and the drive shaft at the tail were all destroyed, and after a burst of flames spewed out from the chimney of the battleship, the entire battleship lay flat on the sea completely motionless.

In less than 1 minute, the stern of the battleship began to sink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the porthole at the stern, which was still some distance away from the sea, was almost swallowed by the waves.

"The enemy ship is turning!" The observation post soon discovered the news that the enemy ship was turning, because the originally calculated precise bombardment parameters seemed to have deviated a lot.

"Near miss! The enemy ship is increasing the distance! Recalculate the parameters! Speed... Please refer to the previous data first for the speed!" In the slightly dim cabin, under the yellow light, the officer clasped the phone receiver and loudly talked about the calculation. shouted the sergeants.

They had just calculated the parameters enough to hit the enemy ship, and after only two rounds of shelling, the enemy ship began to turn... This is simply torturing them who study mathematics.

Amidst the sound of cursing, everyone started to work again. Some people started to turn the roulette in front of them to match the corresponding parameters, and then came up with a relatively correct shooting parameter value.

At the same time, in the conning tower of the battleship bridge, Bernard watched the battleship of Mirage Navy begin to turn, with a triumphant smile on his face.

He has severely damaged two enemy battleships, and now the absolute numbers of the two sides have reversed, three to four has become three to two, and he is now the one with the advantage.

At the same time, he has already convinced himself of the fact that his battleship has a clear advantage through previous battles.At this time, he no longer had the nervousness he had before, and his heart was full of joy that he was about to win the battle.

"Adjust the course! Right rudder 5! Catch up!" Bernard didn't know the enemy's speed and steering angle, so he could only use subtle adjustments vaguely to maintain the distance from the enemy fleet.

"Right rudder 5! Adjust the course!" The adjutant loudly conveyed the order, and black smoke billowed from the chimneys of the battleships of both sides, which indicated that both sides were burning coal non-stop to maintain the maximum speed of their warships.

"Fengshun 31 was hit by an enemy ship and was seriously injured... The speed can only be maintained at about 10 kilometers, and it has left the queue." An officer walked behind Bernard and reported the loss just confirmed.

"Fengshun No. 19 was slightly injured, and Weigang No. 21 was slightly injured..." Afterwards, the officer continued to report, talking about the minor injuries of the five warships in one breath.

Hearing this series of losses, Bernard's face was also a little uncomfortable.He looked at the other party and asked, "What about the results?"

"Sinked one enemy ship, severely damaged two ships, and damaged six ships. The fighting is still going on." The officer replied immediately.

Hearing this result, Bernard's face looked a little better. Although the loss was still huge, he was already very satisfied with such a brilliant result.

After all, the gap between small warships is not as huge as imagined. Tang Jun sacrificed part of the quality for the sake of quantity. It is not easy to achieve such an exchange ratio.

"Let those who can keep up with the queue catch up, and those whose speed is impaired immediately leave the queue, and allow them to return alone, or leave the theater to stand by!" Bernard gave an order.

"I obey! General!" The officer stood at attention and saluted, and then went to convey Bernard's order.

Mirage Kazuo watched as his side turned around, another battleship was seriously damaged, and the one under his feet almost fell because he couldn't stand firmly.

As if he felt the same thing as the explosion of the battleship just now, he supported the table, and it took a long time to stabilize his emotions.

When the king of Mirage handed over the navy fleet to him, he valued the pirate character of Mirage, who was resolute and brave, and at the same time refused to suffer.

But now, Mirage Kazuo saw that more than half of his country's most precious battleship had been lost, and he was in a dizzy state.

While he kept thinking about how to take the rest of the fleet out of the battlefield to reduce losses, he kept thinking about how to explain this matter to his majesty the king.

At this moment, he is very clear that this is no longer a problem that his suicide can solve. It is he who ruined the national fortune of the entire mirage, and he personally sent all the belongings of the mirage navy to hell.

"I, what should I do, how should I explain to His Majesty?" Kazuo Mirage looked at his adjutant desperately, and didn't even mention the matter of turning defeat into victory.

His adjutant's face was also pale at this time, because he was afraid, he was afraid, he didn't want to be buried with the general in front of him in this iron coffin under his feet!
