Chapter 163 Someone Actually Dares To Attack Us?
Sasha took out a piece of dried meat from somewhere and took a bite.
Then he tilted his head, looked at the approaching fleet from the distance, and asked puzzledly: "What do they want to do?"
Gao Qiang did not respond.
He just frowned and looked in the direction of the fleet.
They were getting closer to the shore. The fastest ship was already approaching the beach and seemed to have no intention of slowing down.
Do they want to collide directly?
Until the next moment, Gao Qiang saw the sailor of the ship picking up a flintlock gun and pointing it at him.
"Just cripple them, don't kill them!"
"We also need someone to show us the way."
Listening to the captain's words, the sailors nodded one by one.
The range of a flintlock gun is actually quite short.
If they want to attack Gao Qiang and others, first of all, they cannot stand on the boat. They must get off the boat to close the distance.
The sailors lowered themselves from the ship's ropes to the beach one by one. Judging from their skillful movements, it was obvious that they had done this kind of thing in the past.
But I don’t know if it’s because of poor maintenance and the bullets getting wet.
Not a single bullet from the first round of flintlock strikes hit Gao Qiang and the others, and they all drifted to who knows where.
"Surprisingly, someone really dares to invade us."
Until the first projectile hit the beach in front of everyone.
Bai Hexiu dared to believe his eyes.
There are people who really don’t want to live a good life.
Jiuluo didn't speak, but turned his back and looked towards the back of the island.
Behind the beach is an oasis. If you look at it from here, you can't see anything special in the oasis.
Just like Jiuluo thought.
Many captains and sailors in the fleet, including the commander, did not realize what was hidden on this island.
only......
Jiuluo smiled without any panic.
The flintlock gun was very noisy, and after this round of firing, the next reload should take about three minutes.
This little time is enough!
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, a large amount of fire broke out from the oasis, catching the ships that had not yet landed at sea by surprise.
Shouts arose one after another on the ships.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Where is the enemy?!"
They didn't even notice where the cannonballs flew out from. The sailors on the ship were almost running around like headless flies.
Immediately afterwards, the sailors who had landed on the beach also had a hard time.
While they were still loading their flintlock muskets.
A large number of shells have fallen like raindrops.
The attack frequency of mortars is obviously much higher than that of position guns.
As explosions rang out, the peaceful beach just now was instantly stained with blood.
A sailor fell into a pool of blood holding his severed limb.
There was even an unlucky guy who was hit by a mortar and was torn apart on the spot.
Thousands of position guns and mortars covering the island have successfully turned the island into a military fortress.
The artillery pieces were heavily camouflaged.
From the outside, no layout on the island can be seen at all.
Jiuluo, on the other hand, continued to look towards the center of the island.
In the center of the island is a steep highland.
All four 800mm cannons in the territory were placed there.
If Jiuluo remembers correctly.
The weight of just one shell of the 800mm cannon reaches a terrifying 7,000 kilograms, which is almost enough to crush any overestimating obstacle in front of it.
And the range has also reached a terrifying 40 nautical miles.
This giant cannon, like the super battleship, is almost bigger, heavier, and stronger to the extreme.
In other words, this giant cannon can crush all "monsters" in sight, and there is no way those "monsters" can harm it at all.
Boom!
There was a loud bang like thunder.
The sailors who landed on the beach didn't know what was happening, but heard bursts of miserable wailing from behind.
"Main ship, main ship sank!"
What!
The sailors looked back with disbelief.
How long had they been close to the island? Considering the sturdiness and firepower of the main ship, how could it possibly sink?
But the truth slapped everyone in the face.
But they saw that the middle part of the battleship, which had more than forty cannons, completely exploded, forming a huge hole.
The scattered wood chips even affected the routes of other battleships in the fleet.
Click——
Only a cracking sound was heard.
The already overwhelmed battleship collapsed and sank toward the bottom of the sea.
There wasn't even a chance to fire a shell.
The captain looked at this scene in disbelief.
The battleship is still so far away from the island.
What kind of artillery can sink their battleships with just one shot from such a distance?
But at this moment.
The fleet was not given a chance to breathe at all.
Under the eyes of countless sailors with splitting eyes.
A giant battleship made entirely of steel, far larger than anyone imagined, sailed over from the other side of the island.
How is it possible, how could it be an ironclad ship? !
They had only seen a battleship of this level once before.
Pan-Ocean Free Trade Company's "Meteor Star" miraculous ship is a nightmare for countless explorers, rebels, and pirates.
It is precisely because of having a huge ironclad ship that Pan-Ocean Free Trade Company can formulate the rules of this sea area.
But now, they actually saw the second ship.
At the moment when everyone was trembling, Gao Qiang opened the attribute panel of the Eternal Shield.
["Eternal Shield" super-dreadnought ship]
[Displacement: 90,000 tons]
[Shape: 300 meters long, 40 meters wide]
[Main gun: Triple 457mm main gun X2]
[Attached weapons: 300mm secondary gun X6, 105mm howitzer X12, depth charges...]
[Accessory equipment: detection sonar...]
【......】
Data items were placed in front of Gao Qiang.
Maybe Gao Qiang didn't understand it very well.
But there is no doubt about it.
This Iron Overlord can dominate the sea and has no rival!
At this time, the black smoke emitted by the dreadnought became thicker, and the overall speed suddenly increased.
Because the wind was not strong, most of the galleys did not have enough power to escape, and they could only watch the dreadnought attack towards the center of the fleet.
Only then did the captain react.
"Fire, fire!!!"
The belated sailor ignited the cannon, and the shells followed the trajectory and hit the armor plate of the dreadnought.
Then something even more desperate happened for everyone.
After the bursts of explosions, apart from leaving a few more black marks on the armor plate of the dreadnought, it was unable to cause any effective damage at all.
"We...failed to penetrate their armor?"
One captain collapsed to the ground.
Seeing the dreadnought crushing towards him, he still didn't know his ending.
