Chapter 95 Dragon Plan No. 15: Mysterious Fleet (Part 2)

 The First Squadron had three Batulu. In order to win the lead, they all used iron armored ships. After reaching the maximum speed, they went straight through the four British battleships!

"Boom..."

The artillery on the bow of the British battleship was the first to attack, and the three rotating cannons on the bow of the first deck of the Batulu were not to be outdone and fired grenades on them.

At this time, don't think about using the mortar on the first deck to strike. The heights of the ships on both sides are about the same, but there are still many soldiers on the British battleships holding muskets and waiting for battle.

The British are also the first experts in the world to implement time travel tactics, but they rely on leading loading speed and standardized volleys. If they face the navies of other European countries, they are likely to win after a war, but they are a bit disappointing after facing the Truchen Iron Armored Battleship.

Soon, warships from both sides were interlacing!

"Boom..."

Almost at the same time, the artillery in the front half of the hulls on both sides fired!

I saw Batulu's hull swaying violently, but the British battleship seemed to be fine for a moment - this is because the artillery arrangement of the battleship was much denser than that of the Truqin battleship. At such a close distance, a large number of shells must have hit the hull of the armored battleship!

But this was just James' momentary trance. Soon, when the Truchener's armor-piercing grenade penetrated into its forty-centimeter-thick ship gang, it immediately exploded!

This explosion immediately affected the artillery in the second half. At this moment, the Truqin battleship was completely level with them!

"Boom..."

All the remaining artillery fired in the three Batulu side ports!

Naturally, the British battleships were not all affected, and several artillery bombarded from the lower, middle and upper decks respectively!

Just now, when the Truchen artillery was casting an armor-piercing grenade, the moment it penetrated into the enemy ship gang, it would definitely push it back and then it would tilt significantly to the other side, which made the firing angle of these artillery shot higher.

A 32-pound gun shell happened to fly over a Batulu chimney!

However, when the heights of the ships on both sides are similar, only the artillery directly through the deck on the upper floor may reach the sky above Batulu, and when it reaches the direction of the chimney, it will be in its upper half!

With a "click" sound, the upper half of the battleship chimney, which was formed with two square iron pipes, was immediately knocked away by the 32-pound iron bomb. Not only that, the lower half of the chimney that was wrapped with it was bent!

The artillery near the rotating turret on the first deck of the Batulu immediately ran over to observe the situation.

"Captain, the chimney was destroyed, but although it was bent, it was not completely closed and smoke could be circulated!"

When he ran to the lower deck of the ship to inform the captain, due to the poor smoke exhaust in the flue, a large amount of smoke had already spread to this layer.

The captain gave the order without thinking.

"Go up to a squad of Marines immediately and protect the craftsmen to replace the chimney!"

At this moment, the entire hull of the four British warships, including one second-class battleship and three third-class battleships, exploded violently. In fact, as long as they were hit by the grenade with a diameter of 18 cm and a shell weighing as high as fifty kilograms in the middle of Batulu, the battleship was basically destroyed.

What's more, there are so many shells hitting?

All three Batulus came out of the British battleships. At this time, four more battleships came towards us!

This time, there are two second-level battleships and two third-level battleships!

The Batulu, which was replacing the chimney, uttered the flag saying "You can still fight", and then the three Batulu continued to rush towards the enemy ships!

At this moment, Zhuang Jiyun had already taken a Bogda and a Batulu bypassed the eight battleships and arrived at the end of the British fleet. There, Rodney was still sailing forward with the St. Edward and a second-class battleship!

Needless to say, there are more than 64-pound and 48-pound heavy cannons on the British first-class battleship. Thinking of this, Zhuang Jiyun did not implement the crossing tactics like he had just now, but the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters!

"Swish..."

Zhuang Jiyun suddenly began to turn with these two warships, braved the fierce artillery fire from the bow of the enemy ship. Fortunately, it was not easy for the enemy to accurately hit the target at a distance of 100 meters.

However, some shells fell on the ship gang, and the bow of the first-class battleship was also equipped with 32-pound guns. It looked amazing, but it did not cause any substantial damage except for the loud noises on the Truqin battleship.

When the Truqin battleship began to face the bows of the two British battleships with its sideways, the distance between the two sides had reached only twenty meters!

If it was the sailing era, this was an extremely risky move. At this time, the south wind was gradually increasing due to the arrival of spring and summer. The sailing warships with sailings were not necessarily much slower than steam warships!

"Boom..."

Bogda aimed at Saint Edward, and Batulu aimed at the second-class battleship!

The fifty-pound cannon in the middle of Bogda hits the bow of St. Edward!

For a fifty kilogram of cannon, it would take at least fifty kilograms of black gunpowder to detonate. The kinetic energy generated by the fifty kilogram of black gunpowder did not attenuate much at such a distance of twenty meters. For the European battleship at this time, the thickest armored place on both sides was as thick as forty centimeters.

But the head and tail of the ship are only thirty centimeters!

The armor-piercing grenade cut into the middle of its two-layer bow cannon with a roar, and then a brief pause appeared, then made a shocking roar!

The crucifix, the British royal badge disappeared in an instant, and the explosion caused by the explosion caused a huge hole in the bow of the ship. Although it did not allow the sea water to flow in, it was almost done!

Another second-class battleship also seemed to be different. When Bogda and Batulu completely left the two battleships, their bows were almost cut off, and an imbalance was formed at the bow and tail of the ship, and the bows were raised high!

At this time, two wooden Batulu passed through the middle!

You should know that in this case, it would be good if the artillery on the third floor of the deck could stabilize its body, and it would be impossible to have another chance to fire the cannon!

"Boom..."

This time, two wooden Batulus only launched a volley when they arrived at the flush position with the two large battleships, and then another earth-shaking loud noise!

The St. Edward was also unlucky. Because its bow was raised high, it exposed its waterline position. The shell fired by a 50-pound heavy artillery in the middle of the wooden Batulu hit the spot!

After another violent roar, the British spent a huge amount of money and the St. Edward was broken into two pieces after three years!

Another second-class battleship was constantly exploding, accompanied by the explosion, and the violent shaking of its hull was finally broken into several pieces!

With one encounter, the British fleet with nine battleships was destroyed.

When the confrontation began here, the violent bombing made the Spanish fleet following behind fill up again.

But the Truchens won't slow down.

....

Just as the Spaniards slowed down, the two Saiyin ships had already circled around the Pirates' fleet!

Since it is a clutch specially used for communication and communication, when the two 500-horsepower steam engines on it are all activated, the speed of the ship will increase to 80 miles per hour in a short time. This is only one cross-sail armed merchant ship, and the rest are only two-sided sailing blessed ships, which has never been seen by the pirate fleet of the vast ships.

So, the two Saiyin ships kept shuttled and traveling between these pirate ships. Although their side ports only temporarily installed two twelve centimeter and fifteen kilograms of cannons on the first deck, they still caused huge damage to the pirate ship.

After the main fleet in front annihilated the British fleet, the battle here was almost over. Due to the high-speed motor power of the Saiyin, it was impossible for the pirate ship to escape. The armed merchant ship where Zhang Fei was located had the intention to escape from the beginning, but was still caught up by a Saiyin.

As three shells drilled into its trunk, the largest pirate group in Sulu Sea fell.

At this time, the main fleet had passed through the Spanish battleship array. After causing huge damage to it, the three Batulus in the sudden front could already see the four armed merchant ships in the penultimate position. When the battle was in front, these four armed merchant ships somehow crossed the pirate fleet to this position.

However, when the three Batulus jumped into their eyes, they immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly adjusted their sails and drove straight west.

At this time, they were using crosswind, which was a little worse than the tailwind, and they were soon caught up by Batulu.

"Boom..."

At this time, the chimney above Batulu in the middle had just been replaced, and the entire cabin was filled with smoke!

....

When a huge sunset in the west slowly sinks on the sea, the battle comes to an abrupt end.

"Commander"

The deputy captain of the Bogda is reporting the battle situation to Zhuang Jiyun.

"It has been clear that the British and Spanish fleets came, and there were four armed merchant ships and seven pirate ships"

"At present, all ships have been annihilated by our army. In order to find out the situation, our army only salvaged some of the prisoners who fell into the water. The rest of them either drowned or were shot by the Marines. Naturally, there are still many people who have good water properties and run away."

"According to the interrogation of the Spaniards, this is the case"

"This time the British drove all their North American main fleets. They obtained a brief alliance of the Spaniards on the condition of returning the port of Gibraltar. So the British fleet first bypassed the southernmost tip of South America, and then joined in the port of Lima, which was under the jurisdiction of the Spanish governor of Peru."

"Near Lima, there is a southeast trade wind belt and an ocean current from east to west, which just happens to send them to the Philippines"

"The Dutch obviously had some fear that our country occupied Singapore, and was preparing to take advantage of the British, and the pirate was already negotiating with the Spaniards, so..."

"Okay, have you captured a valuable prisoner?"

"Of course, there are James, the British Fleet Commander, Guterres, the Spanish Fleet Commander, Dutch Rear Admiral Coytt, and the pirate leader Zhang Fei. All four were injured, and Zhang Fei was even more seriously injured."
