Chapter 1786 Confrontation at Sea

Zeng Yunfeng turned his head to look at the chief mate beside him, who immediately shouted: ""Prepare for test firing! "

"Prepare for a test launch!"

The gun door was opened, and the muzzle was slowly adjusted in the direction of the British ship.

The first test firing correction is a very important and crucial part of improving shooting accuracy. Even shooting bows and arrows, test firing is also very important.

Factors such as sea waves, wind speed, and weather all affect the exact landing point of the shell, and it is difficult to say whether it can hit it.

The sailors on the watchtower were waving flags, and the ships next to them also received orders from the flagship Baitie and made preparations one after another.

The shells are ready to fly out of the barrel.

"preparation!"

The gun doors on the lower deck had already been opened, and the muzzles of Hei Dong Dong pointed directly at the three British ships.

After the last battle, the Baitie had been quickly repaired. It can be said that there is no ship on this sea that can compete with the Baitie.

This is the source of Zeng Yunfeng's confidence. The Baitie has been silent for so many years, and the Baitie has hardly exposed its firepower on the frontal battlefield.

Even against Salazar, it was an opportunistic approach.

However, for Baitie in the artillery battle, this battle was when he really showed his Senbai fangs.

"A salvo!"

"put!"

The dense shells in the sky flew towards the British ships.

"The shells are coming!"

The watchman of the British ship roared.

Everyone on the boat heard it, and they all looked for places to hide. The first round of shells hit, basically not accurate.

But if one shot hits, the consequences are very uncomfortable.

The reminder of the watchman and the boatswain is to let everyone avoid such consequences.

The shells fell into the sea not far from the three British ships, and the captain of the flagship of the British ships looked very ugly.

The first test shot was no more than 100 meters away from them, which was a very unacceptable result for him.

This shows that the artillery battle level of the White Iron Kingdom's ships is already comparable to theirs, or even higher.

"Ready!" The British ship also opened fire.

The sound of rumbling guns filled the sea with white smoke, covering the figures of the three British ships, but the shells flying in the air actually fell in the direction of the White Iron and other three ships.

"The shells are coming!" Several ships of the White Iron Kingdom also reminded the sailors.

The roaring shells had no effect.

"Second reload!"

"Second reload!"

"Return the artillery!"

"Return the artillery!"

After the artillery roared, the artillery carriage was pushed backwards with the reaction force of the artillery, and the gunners hurriedly pushed the artillery to the gun position again, reloaded the ammunition, and prepared for the second shot.

The ships of both sides are still approaching constantly.

The first officer of the British ship opposite was sweating. The artillery battle was actually quite a test of luck. It was hard to say whose side Lady Luck was on, especially when there was a certain distance between the two sides. One hit, or in other words, whoever succeeds in the first test depends on who can gain the upper hand in this naval battle.

As if a gust of wind was blowing in his ears, the first officer of the British ship suddenly felt as if he was being gently pushed by something, and then he all fell back, and his eyes also turned backwards.

Sawdust flew across, and the shells shot straight into the deck of the British flagship ship, sweeping across the deck, and immediately plowed a bullet mark.

The shells pierced through the deck of the ship, and the captain of the British ship was not moved at all. Even though his first officer was shot in the second round of test firing, to be precise, he should have been dismembered.

The captain of the British ship can only mourn in silence in his heart, pray in front of him at the same time, and silently say God's blessing in his heart.

This damn unlucky guy actually hit the opponent with a shell in the second round of test firing.

Now it is estimated that the corpses cannot be found completely, and the blood immediately stained the side of the captain of the British ship.

The soldiers took a quick look, but they couldn't find the first officer with all the body parts, but they didn't panic.

Instead, they went to their respective positions and prepared for the second test launch.

The booming cannon sounded again.

The two sides are getting closer.

"One hit!"

"Hit the enemy ship!"

The Baitie was also baptized by artillery. Several shells whizzed past the Baitie's sails, and the sails immediately punched a few big holes, but luckily they didn't hit the mast.

Another shell passed through the second-floor cabin of the ship and hit the cabin directly, causing a commotion immediately.

Fortunately, the ship did not suffer too much damage, but one unlucky guy had his face scratched by the shattered sawdust, and the hideous wound left a huge scar on his face.

But for a man, this scar is nothing.

"Free Fire!"

The rumble of cannons continued.

The captain of the British ship responded calmly without any panic.

The two sides are fighting for the strength of the artillery battle, and the ships of the White Iron Kingdom are not fighting for the upper hand. Now the two ships are sailing in the same direction, and they are both downwind. In terms of speed, neither is much faster than the other.

And in the view of the captain of the British ship, there is no need. As long as the ships of both sides are close, the captain of the British ship believes that these advanced cannons of his fleet can sink the opponent to the bottom of the sea.

The continuous sound of gunfire took away one fresh life after another.

In front of those sailors and gunners who are about to die or face death, time suddenly seems to press the pause button.

The shells shuttled between the cabin, the deck, and the sails, taking one life after another, destroying everything he encountered.

Naval battles are sometimes more brutal than land battles. The two sides are almost head-to-head. Whoever can win the final victory depends entirely on the favor of the goddess of luck.

There was a teeth-gritting sound, and the mast of a British ship was broken by the flying chain bullets, and it fell straight down.

"Run, the mast is broken!"

The captain of the British ship's face was a little ugly at this time, but he still didn't have much anger or even nervousness.

"Turn the bow!"

The two sides changed the course of the ship almost at the same time, exposing the gun positions on the other side of the ship.

The sound of artillery fire attracted those spectators from afar, and Isabel was one of them.

Holding the binoculars, she watched the six ships bombarding each other in the distance, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.Boat.

"Captain, are we going up to help?"

Isabel shook her head, "Let them bite dogs, we don't need to get involved now, when they bite bloody, that's when we will show up."

"Captain! We found a ship to the northeast! It may be an enemy ship!" The first officer said to Zeng Yunfeng.

Zeng Yunfeng glanced into the distance with his binoculars, but there was a ship following them from a distance, but neither approached nor moved away.

"Leave them alone, sink these three British warships into the sea for me, and deal with them later."

"Yes!"
