273 Sea Battle
Along with the voyage, the Black Fire Fleet and Shi Fei's main fleet headed south together at a distance of 700 meters, and the single-masted warships were scattered farther out on the sea.

Da Liang hid behind the fender on the port side of the bridge to observe the enemy fleet, and then ordered.

"The fleet meets the enemy at an angle of 15 degrees, and all artillery is ready to fire. Target the enemy's flagship, and the No. [-] artillery group will fire!"

A cannon shot.

A cannon located under the poop of the Skeleton Warrior fired, and the black projectile drew a parabola in the air battle and shot towards the enemy flagship "Yinglong".

Then it fell into the sea water 100 meters away from the "Yinglong".

"The angles of each artillery group are adjusted, and all the artillery is ready to fire."

When the gunners of the Black Fire Fleet adjusted the angle of the artillery, the "Yinglong" also fired a test shell.

Cannonballs flew over the Skeleton Warrior.

The quality of the sailors on the Shi Fei battleship is also quite high.

"fire!"

Amidst a series of rumbling sounds, clouds of thick smoke rose from the side of the Black Fire Fleet, and a row of projectiles formed a scattering surface, flying towards Shi Fei's main fleet.

Columns of water arose on the surface of the water where Shi Fei's main fleet was located.

Shi Fei's main fleet, which was covered by shells, immediately counterattacked with a salvo of artillery.

On the surface of the sea, the artillery raged, and the swaying water column set off a white water curtain around the two fleets.

The two fleets poured shells at each other, and quickly approached on the angled route.

Gradually, the three single-masted battleships behind Shi Fei's main fleet lost their shooting angles. As the distance approached, the firepower advantage of the Black Fire Fleet was revealed.

The first firepower group led by Da Liang was desperately thinking about the three-masted warship and two brigantine battleships of Shi Fei's main fleet, pouring shells, while the second firepower group under Sidney's command focused on the enemy's single-masted warships one by one. fire attack.

Three-masted warships and two-masted warships have thick hulls, and iron armor plates are hung on the waterline. The 12-pound shells fired by iron smoothbore guns cannot cause too much damage to their hulls in a short time.

The hull of the one-masted battleship is relatively weaker, and a 12-pound shell can easily penetrate the one-masted battleship at close range.

When the distance between the two sides reached 300 meters, Sidney commanded 40 artillery pieces to stop a single-masted warship on the sea with two salvos.

The firepower superiority of the Black Fire Fleet began to show its power. Shi Fei ordered a single-masted warship to fill in the vacancy, and then ordered the fleet's course to deviate eastward in an attempt to draw the Black Fire Fleet away from the coastline.

The position between 200m and 300m can give full play to the advantage of the Black Fire Fleet's artillery. Watching Shi Fei's fleet change direction, Da Liang ordered the Black Fire Fleet to stick close to the opponent, firmly biting the "Yinglong" and not letting go.

Just now, Da Liang had seen Shi Fei through the binoculars on this three-masted battleship. It was obvious that this three-masted battleship belonged to Shi Fei. As long as he pressed down on this ship and beat him to death, Shi Fei would show whatever cards he had.

Attracted by Shi Fei's main fleet, the Black Fire Fleet began to move away from the coastline.

The single-masted battleships of the Lord's United Fleet impatiently surrounded the Blackfyre Fleet. They lined up and moved towards the head and tail of the Blackfyre Fleet, trying to inflict heavy damage on the enemy fleet at the T prefix.

The Blackfyre fleet began a large snaking maneuver.

It is difficult for a single-masted battleship formation to form a concentrated firepower straddle. The Blackfire Fleet uses elite sailors to quickly change the direction of sailing to avoid too much damage from the front and rear of the battleship. The battleship hit head-on.

From the general situation, the combined lord fleet seems to have completed the siege of the Blackfyre Fleet, but on the actual battlefield, the Blackfyre Fleet still has an absolute advantage in firepower in a local area through neat formation and changeable navigation.

One after another, the single-masted warships were destroyed and stopped on the water, but the combined fleet of the lords did not seem to cause much damage to the enemies in the encirclement.

Shu Xiao led the Judgment Legion to tightly protect the sky above the Black Fire Fleet.

Having experienced many naval battles with Da Liang, Shu Xiao has a certain understanding of the situation of naval battles.

In the naval battle below, Daliang's fleet had trapped the main force of the lord's United Fleet, and a single-masted warship behind their main fleet had also been replaced.

One of the enemy's three-masted battleships and two two-masted battleships have been isolated, while the outer group of single-masted battleships can only circle the middle battlefield, desperately filling the battleships into the battlefield to attract the firepower of the Daliang fleet. Get the capital ship out.

Above the sea, warships fought fiercely, and clouds of gunpowder smoke rose and filled the sky.

In the battle in the air, Shu Xiao obviously felt that the opponent increased the intensity of his attack.They have already felt the pressure of the naval battle and want to open the situation from the air, and then reverse the passiveness on the sea while gaining air supremacy.

The Judgment Legion is firmly guarding the sky above the Blackfyre Fleet. Since the situation in the naval battle is in their favor, there is no need to fight against the enemy in the air.

Shi Fei stood on the bridge of the "Yinglong". Now his main fleet only had this three-masted warship and the two two-masted warships behind it. Good defense kept them fighting, and the support came up. The single-masted battleship was separated by artillery fire far behind.

Now Da Liang's fleet has shortened the distance of the exchange of fire to less than 200 meters, and a single-masted warship can't hold out even a round of salvo.

"How is this possible! The formation is compact and the firing frequency is high. It can be said that the quality of the system's navy is high, but what's the matter with this clever on-the-spot route change? Players are just getting into sailing now, and all naval warfare tactics are still being explored. If air command needs talent, naval command depends more on experience than talent. In the current game, when it comes to naval command ability and experience, no player can surpass me.

But...how did Da Liang do it?
If I hadn't seen Da Liang on the opponent's flagship, I would have suspected that I was fighting with the elite navy of the same system. "

Shi Fei didn't know that Da Liang had been abused by Sidney more than ten times during the deduction for this battle, and that Da Liang had learned from Sidney how to deal with any tactical changes of the Lords United Fleet.

Therefore, Shi Fei's guess was not wrong, it was an excellent naval commander who was bullying him through Da Liang.

The frequent shots made the "Yinglong" shake violently, and the difference in the quality of the sailors made the "Yinglong" lower than the Blackfire Fleet in firing frequency.

The effect of the Black Fire Fleet consuming a large amount of gold coins for high-intensity training was revealed at this moment. When the Black Fire Fleet fired five shots, the "Yinglong" could only fire four shots.The other two two-masted battleships were even more miserable. These two battleships from the Dongyue Territory and the Sun Moon God Territory had just entered the ranks. When the Black Fire Fleet fired five shots, they could only fire three shots.
