Chapter 1787
The warships on both sides were approaching infinitely. At this time, the range of the artillery had almost covered both sides, and no one was holding back.

The sound of the cannon was like a thunderbolt, and projectiles flying vertically and horizontally passed between the warship and soldiers, blood and explosions were intertwined.

"Get ready to pick up the ship!" The captain of the British ship's first mate was gone, but his bosun was still there, and he yelled frantically.

Some people were already holding cables and preparing to wander over to approach the three white iron warships.

Zeng Yunfeng curled his lips in disdain, and the first officer next to him was also disdainful, it was so old, and he also attacked the boarding battle.

"Give them some strength!" The first mate of the Baitie said to Cook, the bosun.

"Flower bombs are ready! Delayed fuze charging!"

"Flower bombs are ready! Delayed fuze charging!"

The time-delay fuze studied by the White Iron Kingdom is actually relatively primitive, but it is much more advanced than other current time-delay fuzes.

The delay time is about five to eight seconds. The delay fuze installed on the spherical shell is not as good as the impact fuze installed on the cylindrical shell, but very primitive.

But at this moment, too much progress would make people feel at a loss. The time-delay fuze installed on this spherical shell is just right.

The gunner inserts the time-delay fuze into the slot of the shell ready to fire.

The time-delay fuze is no different than other shells. It has a certain time limit, just like the grenade is pulled away and the tab must fly out of the barrel within a few seconds, otherwise it will explode.

Shells that want to use time-delayed fuzes have strict requirements for gunners.

"Curry, it's up to you!" Adams yelled at Curry.

The cannons were rumbling, and they could hardly hear what the other was saying, so they could only rely on roaring.

"Don't worry!" Curry grinned his big white teeth and adjusted the muzzle.

"Get ready, let go!"

The rumbling guns sounded again, but the captain of the British ship opposite suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The ships on the Baitie didn't move closer to them, nor were they ready to join them. Even though the sailors on their side were ready, the ships on the opposite side obviously didn't want to join them.

"The artillery fire is coming!"

The shells under free fire came without warning. Even though the watchman shouted, the continuous shells made people nervous.

Another shell hit the British flagship, and the gunner next to him took a deep breath. It was so dangerous that he almost hit him, but in the next second, his face changed drastically.

There was a bang explosion, the gunpowder was detonated, and the huge explosion tore apart all the surrounding sailors and gunners with a powerful impact.

"God!"

The British ship next to them saw being hit and a violent explosion occurred, their faces were very ugly.

The strong explosion almost lifted the deck, debris flew across, and the cabins above were completely destroyed, people were thrown into the air, and stumps and broken arms flew out of it.

The captain of the British ship felt a sudden shake from the hull.

"Damn it! It's a bomb!"

The boatswain’s words were full of anger and fear. Explosive ammunition is not a rare thing. However, due to the fact that the research on explosive ammunition in the current world is not up to the standard, explosive ammunition is often misfired, which is not much better than solid ammunition. In the past, even during the operation of the flower bomb, due to the gunner's operation error, it will cause an explosion.

Therefore, the current world flowering ammunition is not liked by the navy, especially the flowering ammunition made by these round shells.

In fact, the use of flowering bombs and the actual combat damage effect are very poor, which is why many sailors and ship captains are not willing to use flowering eggs.

In comparison, solid shells are much more stable.

However, this round of bombardment by the ships of the White Iron Kingdom really stunned them with the explosive ammunition used.

The lethality brought by flowering bullets at close range is unprecedented.

The explosion produced by the flower bomb almost instantly swept away all the objects in the explosion area within the range of the cabin, and even a cannon was directly overturned.

The explosive effect produced by the blooming bullet in a confined space is more violent than that of the solid bullet, especially the effect produced by a shell hitting the hoarded gunpowder, which made the sailors a little dazed.

"Don't stand there stupidly, prepare to fight back!" The bosun hurried to the cabin and woke up the sailors on the British ship from shock with curses and roars.

Sailors and gunners hurriedly prepared for the next round of shelling.

Naval battles are so cruel. On the one hand, they must survive the artillery battles between the two sides, and on the other hand, they need to continue fighting between life and death.

Even if the sailors around him or the friends they once knew were torn apart in an instant, there was no time to grieve and lament, because the next round of shelling would come again, and there was only a chance to breathe except for completely sinking the enemy.

Facing the warship of the White Iron Kingdom, which was not ready for a boarding battle, the flagship captain of the British ship turned dark.

"Closer to them, ready to board!"

On the opposite battleship Baitie, Zeng Yunfeng looked at the ugly face of the captain of the British ship opposite with a telescope, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

"Keep a distance from them, maintain a relative position, and let them understand that times have changed."

"It's the captain!"

Curry, the boatswain on the second floor, praised: "Good job, be careful, you idiot, it's a bomb, don't open the fuze before stuffing it into the barrel, remember, the rules for using the bomb are his mother's will." Get him out, or the bombs will blow up in our asses, understand?"

"Yes!"

The boatswain Curry showed a smile on his face, and the explosive bomb first made a miracle, hit the flagship, and brought a martyrdom.

The British flagship ship on the opposite side panicked for a while, and finally extinguished the fire. However, the psychological shadow brought by the explosive bombs to these ships on the opposite side could not be removed for a while.

Another round of shells struck, and the power of the blooming shells was multiplied.

More than a dozen shells hit the British flagship at the same time, and even one shell directly hit a range of one meter above the waterline.

"Damn, we were hit at the waterline!" The sailor on the opposite side looked at the shells spinning on the ground, his face almost pale.

He slammed on the ground, and there was a bang, and a large hole nearly half a meter suddenly appeared in the waterline of the flagship of the British ship.

Under the invasion of sea water, the entire hull of the ship will tilt to one side.

"Damn, hell, the boat is flooded, come and stop it!"

"What a gamble, just abandon the ship!"

Some sailors hurriedly prepared to jump ship.

Some sailors panicked and prepared to fill the big hole.

But how could the nearly half-meter-long hole be blocked, and the seawater rushed into the cabin.

The captain of the British ship felt that the entire hull began to tilt.

"The captain's cabin is flooded, are you going to abandon the ship?"

Although the British captain's face was ugly, his eyes were still determined, "The Lawrence family has never given up on any ship." His voice was slow but steady.

The bosun pleaded, "Captain, abandon the ship, we still have two ships."

There was another bang, and the ship tilted even more.

"The bilge is leaking, the bilge is leaking!"

The captain of the British ship closed his eyes, he was in pain.
