Chapter 469: 469

469 The great naval battle ends! The entire Army is annihilated!

(Thank you for the tens of thousands of dollars from 111 and Wanderer Daohe)

Did Shen Lang’s fleet have grenades? The explosive blossoming bullet?

Of course there was, and its power was not small. However, his time in the Western world was too short, so he did not have the time to modify the advanced grenade.

That was why all of his cannons were smoothbore cannons instead of rimmed cannons.

Secondly, all of his grenades were ball-shaped shells, and they used the most primitive time fuse. Slow-burning gunpowder was injected into a hollow wooden tube, and the moment the cannon was fired, the high temperature ignited the time fuse. Then, after the shell was fired, it exploded in a fixed time.

However, Shen lang did not produce too many of these ball-shaped grenades because they were destined to be eliminated.

On earth, the history of this kind of grenade was very long. In the 11th century A.D., The prototype of the grenade had been created. In the 15th century, the official grenade had already been invented, but the real large-scale use was in the 19th century.

Before the rifling and cylindrical cannonballs were introduced, the spherical blossoming Cannonball had never been the mainstream. However, there was another problem with the cylindrical Cannonball, which was the trigger.

All these problems had to be solved one by one. This meant that Shen lang needed a huge base with a decent industrial base, and raging tide city was the most suitable.

After taking down raging tide city, they would take down Gold Mountain Island in the shortest time possible, so that they would have an endless supply of steel. The next step was to build raging tide city into a fortress on the sea, open a sea route with the Western world, and transport saltpeter, sulfuric acid, and other things from far away. This way, he could crazily develop the military and continuously improve the lethality of the cannons.

Shen lang had done some calculations. As long as the supply points on the islands were built well, the voyage from the eastern world to the Western world could be shortened from three months to one month.

Back to the main topic, even if they did not use grenades to hit Yan nanfei’s fleet, they were more than enough.

That was because Yan nanfei’s fleet was unable to cause any damage to Shen lang at a distance of 300 meters.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Shen Lang’s fleet fired their cannons crazily, and Yan nanfei’s fleet sank one by one!

However, at this moment, Yan nanfei calmed down instead. It was as if his heart had returned to his chest, and he had been floating in the air all this time.

This was the right way.

There was a reason for Shen Lang’s crazy actions. He was only so reckless because he had a trump card.

Shen lang, Shen lang, you have never disappointed anyone when it comes to creating miracles.

“Marshal, what should we do? What to do? Shen Lang’s new weapon is too powerful.” The generals under him shouted.

“What do we do?” “Of course we’re going to continue charging forward,” Yan nanfei said fiercely.

“Continue charging, continue charging!”

“Although Shen Lang’s new weapon is powerful, it would take at least tens to hundreds of metal balls to sink one of our battleships. How many ships have we sunk since the start of the war?”

“Fifteen ships.” The general said.

“Then how many ships do we have in total?” Yan nanfei asked.

“A thousand ships.” The general said.

Yan nanfei said,”isn’t the current situation clear?” Outside of 300 meters, we can only passively take the attacks, but once we’re within 300 meters, our giant crossbows can counterattack, and when we’re completely close, our thousands of warships can fire a rain of fire arrows.”

Shen Lang’s new weapon is very powerful. However, as long as he can’t wipe us out in a short period of time, he’s finished.

it’s a fool’s dream to defeat our 150000-strong fleet with this new weapon.

as long as we get close to Shen Lang’s fleet, he will be finished.

accelerate forward, accelerate forward!

Under Yan nanfei’s orders, the fleet under his command braved the rain of cannonballs and continued to charge forward, attacking from the East and West.

From a certain perspective, Yan nanfei’s thinking was correct. Shen Lang’s cannon was astonishingly powerful, but the steel ball Cannonball could not destroy a ship in a short time. In the great naval battle of the 16th century, the battleships of both sides would usually fire at each other for days and nights. After being hit by thousands of shells, they were still relatively intact. Not only did they not sink, but they could also return to the port.

Of course, Yan nanfei’s fleet was not that powerful. His warships were basically destroyed after being hit by dozens or even hundreds of cannonballs.

According to his calculations, in at most 15 minutes, his fleet would be able to get close to Shen Lang’s fleet. At that time, he would be able to use the Wolf Pack tactic to destroy Shen Lang’s fleet.

“Hurry, hurry up!”

On the surface of the sea that stretched for dozens of miles, the East and West of Yan nanfei’s fleet were desperately approaching, braving the shocking shells and casualties to continue the charge.

Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters!

Yan nanfei was overjoyed. He had finally closed in on this distance. He was no longer being beaten up and unable to retaliate.

“Let, let, let Yingluo go.”

Following Yan nanfei’s orders, thousands of giant crossbows and hundreds of giant trebuchets began to fire.

Hundreds of huge rocks whizzed out, and the momentum was even more shocking than a solid Cannonball. The scene of a two to three meter long arrow being shot out was quite shocking.

However, the result of the battle was almost zero.

The hit rate of the trebuchets on the ground was already metaphysical, not to mention on the sea. There were hundreds of catapults, but not a single one of them hit the target.

The accuracy of the giant crossbows was much better than that of the catapults. With more than 1000 giant crossbows, the accuracy rate was about 5%, and more than 50 giant arrows hit Shen Lang’s fleet.

However, an arrow at the end of its flight couldn’t pierce through armor, much less Shen Lang’s fleet. They were reinforced with iron armor. At this distance, even if the giant crossbow hit them, it would only be a scratch.

Yan nanfei also understood this point. He knew that it was impossible to destroy the Shen Lang’s fleet with the giant Crossbows and Catapults. However, what he wanted was morale. It was too hurtful for him to be completely passive and unable to fight back.

Now that they were able to fight back, even if there were no results, it was enough to make a name for themselves.

As long as they continued to close in on Shen Lang’s fleet and fire their rockets, Shen Lang’s fleet would be finished.

“Continue, close in, close in on bi an.”

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The cannons of Shen Lang’s fleet opened fire again.

At this distance, the power of the iron ball shell was quite amazing. It could penetrate several layers of the deck and even the cabin above.

Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang

A stunning scene happened again. Dozens of astonishing cannonballs directly shot through one of the ships, penetrating from one side to the other. The sea water gushed in, and the whole ship was spinning desperately. It would sink completely soon.

However, Yan nanfei did not seem to care and instead, he was overjoyed.

Soon, soon.

It looked like his fleet was being massacred, but no more than 30 ships had sunk so far, and more than 95% of the ships were still able to fight.

As long as they could get close to Shen Lang’s fleet, they would win this battle.

I’m still able to make this unparalleled contribution.

However,

This was destined to be a dream, and dreams were usually impossible to achieve.

That was because Shen Lang’s fleet was waving the strange flag again.

Change to cannonballs!

“Fire! Fire!”

With an order.

Shen Lang’s fleet opened fire again.

However, the sound this time was too terrifying. It was like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves.

Yan nanfei raised his head and was completely shocked. What, what was this?

The two iron balls were connected to an iron chain in the middle, and they were rapidly spinning as they shot over.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The sound was so ear-piercing that it made one’s hair stand on end.

This was, of course, a chain bomb, an absolute killing weapon in close-range naval combat. The hit rate of solid cannonballs was not high, and the damage was not very high. However, the damage of the chain bomb to the sails and masts was simply amazing.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Yan nanfei could see it clearly.

A chain bomb suddenly flew towards the deck of a ship, and then the dozens of people on the deck were all killed in an instant. Their entire upper bodies were cut off, and they died a terrible death.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”

These chain bombs roared wildly as they flew, cutting everything in their path. The huge sail was directly torn apart, and the thick mast was directly cut in half.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang!”

With a series of ear-piercing sounds, the masts of Yan nanfei’s fleet fell down one after another.

“Fire the cannons!”

Then, the second round of cannon fire.

The third round of cannon fire swept over wildly, all of which were chain bullets. The entire ocean was filled with the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

The most terrifying scene appeared.

Yan nanfei’s thinking of naval warfare was the same as the Navy generals of the old era. They would jump off the ship to fight when they got close, or fire their rockets wildly. As a result, the distance between the ships was shockingly close, and they were completely densely packed. His fleet was too large, which provided the best slaughterhouse for chain bomb.

The result was a tragic sight.

When they were using solid cannonballs, they had been firing for almost half an hour and tens of thousands of cannonballs, but they had only sunk less than 30 search ships.

And now, the chain bomb at close range had paralyzed dozens of Yan nanfei’s warships in the first round.

However, this was only the beginning. The more fatal consequences happened. After the masts were broken and the sails were destroyed, the ships immediately lost power and began to spin on the sea.

The warship behind could not slow down at all, let alone stop, so it crashed directly into him.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”

There was a series of loud sounds as many of Yan nanfei’s ships collided with each other, blocking the sea area. His fleet was simply too dense.

“Fire the cannons! Fire the cannons!”

The chain bullets of Shen Lang’s fleet shot out crazily. Like the messengers of hell, they cut off one mast after another and tore the sails.

Yan nanfei’s fleet was paralyzed.

The great naval battles before the 18th century were usually difficult to be silent. The fleets of both sides would fight for days and nights, and then return to repair their respective warships, covered in injuries, and then fight again for days and nights. This was because both sides had similar weapons and tactics.

However, Shen lang and Yan nanfei’s naval battle was a revolutionary generation difference. Therefore, they fought with a refreshing rhythm.

In less than half an hour.

More than two to three hundred of Yan nanfei’s fleet had been destroyed, and more than four to five hundred of them were completely paralyzed.

This was a great naval battle, and even now, the area of battle had exceeded twenty to thirty miles.

Even if Yan nanfei was standing at the highest point, it would be difficult to see the whole picture even with a telescope.

Commanding in a naval battle was difficult to begin with, and it was entirely dependent on the performance of the individual warships. And now, once these warships were paralyzed on the sea, they were completely powerless to reverse the situation.

His fleet was like a giant beast, paralyzed everywhere.

………………

After paralyzing Yan nanfei’s fleet, the real massacre began!

The distance was very close. Once again, Shen Lang’s fleet switched to solid cannonballs.

“Fire the cannons!”

“Fire the cannons!”

Hundreds of cannons fired again, but this time they were hitting fixed targets.

The enemy’s warships had lost their power and were completely horizontal on the sea. They were crowded and collided with each other, so it was difficult to miss.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”

A destructive scene appeared.

A truly destructive scene appeared.

At such a close distance, the power of the solid iron ball was simply amazing, and it easily penetrated the enemy’s warship.

Madly tearing.

At this time, it was really time to use slow motion.

There was no explosion, only a solid shell.

On the vast ocean, warship debris flew everywhere.

One by one, the battleships caught fire.

At such a close distance, the iron balls shot out were red. When they hit the enemy’s warships, they also set the wood on fire.

The great destruction had begun.

This was a true massacre.

More and more warships were sinking every minute.

As for the people on the warship? They were easily overlooked because they were in the sea, and there was no escape.

“Let’s fight it out with them, let’s fight it out with them.”

“Swim over and fight it out with them.”

The Warriors of Yan nanfei’s fleet were courageous. They could not stand the fact that they could not retaliate and jumped into the water like dumplings. They swam towards the Shen Lang’s fleet.

Although a distance of two to three hundred meters was far enough, it was an easy feat for these maritime Warriors.

The next step was to climb onto Shen Lang’s warship.

This group of people was very cunning. Previously, they had been swimming in the water and only revealed their heads when they were under the ship to avoid being shot by the arrows of Shen Lang’s fleet.

Furthermore, after they sneaked under Shen Lang’s fleet, they started to chisel the ship crazily.

This was also the traditional tactic of the Navy in this era. They would pierce through the enemy’s warship, causing seawater to pour in and sink the ship.

However, they were in despair when they started to dig. This was because the bottom of the Shen Lang’s fleet was covered in a layer of armor. How could they dig through it?

Then, an even more nightmarish scene appeared.

The skeleton warriors on Shen Lang’s fleet jumped down and charged over while screaming.

Shen Lang’s fleet only had less than 20000 people. Six to seven thousand people would be enough to operate 1000 cannons. The remaining 10000 people could only watch as their comrades slaughtered them. It was not a good feeling.

Now, it was finally their turn to feast.

My dear, we’re here.

Then, the Warriors of the two fleets engaged in an intense battle in the sea. It was the most primitive violent battle.

The Warriors of Yan nanfei’s fleet were full of confidence. They could finally fight in close combat and return to using cold weapons.

However, he didn’t expect it to be a nightmare.

Even though the Warriors from the Shen lang fleet were old, some of them had lost a few teeth. Furthermore, they looked wretched and had thin bodies. However, there was only one word to describe them in the sea-white stripes in the waves.

Their ability to swim was too amazing. Not only could they swim with their legs, but they also gave off the feeling that their third leg could also swim, and they were completely flexible.

Moreover, each of their scimitars was extremely tricky, and they used the least amount of strength to kill.

It was still a one-sided massacre.

The skeleton Warrior only had one thought in his mind.

Easy, it was too easy.

The Bloody Baron’s fleet was so weak before, so why were the Warriors of the Easterners so weak now?

Killing them was as easy as blowing off dust.

However, it was still the same saying. It was not that Yan nanfei’s fleet was too weak, but the skeleton party’s fleet was too strong. They were an Army that had been fighting sea monsters for ten years.

The cannon fire on the sea was amazing, but the skeleton gang’s slaughter in the sea was even more amazing.

In less than an hour.

The skeleton Warrior found that he could not find an opponent.

This was because there were less than 10000 Warriors who had jumped into the sea and swam over. How could they withstand their slaughter? they had all been killed.

The sea was once again dyed red by the floating corpses.

“Come up, come up!” The skeleton party’s commander shouted, and the group of skeleton party warriors reluctantly returned to the warship to continue watching the cannoneers ‘performance.

However, they found that the show of the cannons had ended. The entire ocean had turned into hell, with flames everywhere and the destruction of battleships.

It stretched for over a hundred miles, and there were almost destroyed warships floating everywhere.

Yan nanfei’s 150000-strong naval force and over 1000 warships were originally vast and overwhelming.

After a few hours of intense battle, more than 500 warships of Yan nanfei’s fleet had sunk. The remaining 100 or so warships were still circling in the sea and would sink soon.

The Eastern and Western fleets that he had sent out to launch a pincer attack had basically been completely annihilated. The two fleets that did not participate in the battle, the northern and southern fleets, had survived.

………………

Yan nanfei stood at the highest point of the flagship and used his telescope to scan the entire sea surface. His entire body was cold.

A defeated Army like a mountain should only be suitable for a ground battle. Now that they were on the sea, this scene actually happened.

More than 600 warships and more than 70000 people were all destroyed.

This was not a battle but a massacre. Especially in the last four hours, especially after Shen Lang’s fleet used chain bombs, it was a grand show of destruction.

The yinyuan Association had spent a lot of money to build this fleet, but in just a few hours, half of it had been destroyed.

“Marshal, what should we do?” The general said.

Yan nanfei painfully closed his eyes. His fleet was actually left with half of it. There were still 600 to 700 warships of all kinds, and more than 80000 people.

But this naval battle was already lost, and there was no point in continuing.

“Retreat, retreat!”

Yan nanfei painfully ordered!

Immediately, the horn for retreat sounded from the sea, and the flag bearers began to wave their flags.

After that, Yan nanfei’s North and South fleets started to retreat. It was impossible to win this naval battle, so it was better to return to land and defend the castle with the help of the raging tide city castle.

At least until now, raging tide city’s castle had never been truly broken through, nor had it fallen!

Retreat, retreat!

Yan nanfei’s remaining fleet fled.

Shen Lang’s fleet split into two and started to chase them on the sea!

……………………

This chase was very much like a scene in the animal world. A Lion pounced fiercely at a herd of wildebeest, and one chased after dozens or hundreds of them.

Most of Shen Lang’s 100 warships were modified from the warships of the skeleton party, and these Pirates were best at building a ship with the fastest speed. They were all flying scissors warships, and their speed was about 15% faster than Yan nanfei’s fleet.

This gap wasn’t huge, but it was enough for the vast sea.

Yan nanfei used his binoculars to observe the Shen Lang’s fleet.

“W-what is he doing?”

“He … He’s trying to surround us,” one of the generals said, trembling.

In fact, Yan nanfei knew the answer, but he still could not believe it. Was Shen lang crazy?

He had a total of 100 warships, and they were divided into the north and south to pursue and kill. 50 warships actually wanted to surround 400 warships? 10,000 people surrounding 40000 people? He was a complete lunatic.

That’s right, Shen lang was indeed planning to surround and kill them.

If it was just a normal chase, a large portion of Yan nanfei’s fleet would still escape. Only by rushing to the front of Yan nanfei’s fleet to block their way and spreading out a thin encirclement could they possibly annihilate them all.

Then, Shen Lang’s skeleton fleet relied on its speed advantage and overtook Yan nanfei’s fleet from both sides.

Then, the long process of surrounding them began.

Yan nanfei’s fleet did not care and continued to flee.

After three days and three nights, Shen Lang’s encirclement was formed.

Looking down from the sky, one would find that the entire encirclement was pitifully thin. There were only 50 warships, surrounding Yan nanfei’s 400 warships in a Sea area of more than 20 miles.

After the encirclement was formed, it began to shrink and get closer.

How similar was this scene?

However, previously, it was Yan nanfei’s fleet that surrounded Shen lang. Now, it was Shen Lang’s fleet that surrounded Yan nanfei.

“Fire! Fire!”

When they were 800 meters away, Shen Lang’s fleet opened fire.

However, at this time, the artillery fire was already very sparse, and the lethality was average. It could only be used to intimidate.

He continued to close in!

Shen Lang’s fleet was really crazy. One warship charged at ten warships and then claimed that they were surrounded.

Yan nanfei was so angry that his body trembled. Shen lang, you are too arrogant!

Then, he suddenly ordered the entire fleet to disperse.

Every eight battleships formed a group and surrounded one of Shen Lang’s battleships. Then, they closed in on him.

Previously, 600 warships could not defeat 100 of your warships. This was a group effect because the firepower of 100 warships added together was simply too shocking.

And now, eight ships against one, he didn’t believe he couldn’t beat them.

After Yan nanfei gave the order, flag signals were continuously transmitted throughout the entire fleet. Then, his fleet scattered like a fairy scattering flowers and began to fight for themselves.

The eight battleships surrounded one of Shen Lang’s battleships.

………………

Hila was commanding a warship alone, and she was standing at the top of the mast as a chess player. She was really not a qualified Captain.

“Steady, steady, don’t rush!”

The eight warships of Yan nanfei continued to approach Hila’s fleet, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

In fact, she could have opened fire from 800 meters away, but she didn’t.

Five hundred meters, four hundred meters!

The Pirates of the skeleton party almost held their breath, because this distance was already very dangerous. The enemy’s trebuchets and giant crossbows could already hit their warships. Although the accuracy was not high, if a giant rock were to hit, it would cause a huge loss.

Three hundred and fifty meters!

fire! Hila suddenly ordered. fire!

Immediately, the 30 cannons on her ship opened fire in all four directions.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The terrifying chain bomb was shot out again.

“Fire, fire!”

“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”

The cannoneers on Hila’s ship were like crazy. They cleaned the barrels as fast as they could, loaded the explosives, and loaded the chain bullets.

“Fire! Fire!”

This distance of 350 meters was simply a distance of death.

Yan nanfei’s eight warships were desperately trying to get closer.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”

The chain bomb once again displayed its amazing lethality.

One, two, three, four mayflies.

One by one, the warships lost their power and began to spin around the sea.

However, there were still four ships that managed to get within 200 meters.

“Shoot, shoot, shoot bi an!”

There was no need for trebuchets either, as their accuracy was too weak.

They were all using giant crossbows, and all they shot were fire arrows.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.” The four ships were equipped with dozens of giant crossbows.

Even at this distance, the hit rate was less than 10%.

However, more than five giant rockets still hit Hila’s warship.

Explode, explode, quickly explode!

The commander of Yan nanfei’s fleet cheered in his heart. The reason why they shot the fire arrows was to detonate the explosives on the Hila warship. This way, they could easily destroy this powerful warship.

However, he was thinking too much!

The gunpowder on Shen Lang’s battleship was extremely stable. Even if he used fire, it would need to be at the highest temperature for a few seconds to detonate.

However, as soon as their rockets hit the explosives, they were immediately extinguished by the sea.

“Fire! Fire!”

The Hila warships kept firing, and dozens of cannons kept firing chain bullets.

“Shoot, shoot, shoot!”

The commander of Yan nanfei’s fleet shouted with all his might, and the warrior fire arrows on the ship shot out wildly.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

This distance was already very close, and the power of the chain bomb was simply astonishing.

After a series of ghostly wails and wolf howls, the dozens of Warriors on the deck disappeared, and everyone’s body was cut in half at the waist.

“Charge, charge, charge at Suan ni!”

The commander of Yan nanfei’s fleet waved his blade and roared.

However, the battleships around him lost their power one after another.

Finally!

The commander’s own ship rushed in front of Hila’s ship.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, the two warships crashed into each other.

Then, a huge crack appeared on his battleship. This was because Hila’s warship had a steel RAM and was covered in armor.

welcome! Hila laughed fiercely.

Then, hundreds of Pirates from the skeleton party jumped over fiercely, and even Hila herself jumped over.

The commander of this warship was a chiliarch, a Wu Jin Shi.

When he saw the beautiful Hila, he even thought to himself, ” she’s a beauty, but why is she a thief? ”

Fight!

The thousand-man commander pulled out his sword and shouted, ” “Kill!”

For the glory of the clan, for Lord Yan nanfei, kill!

He waved his sword and charged at Hila.

Hila did not pull out her sword. Instead, she put on her gloves and threw a punch.

“Bang!”

The next second!

The thousand-man commander’s body was sent flying, and his head was smashed to pieces by Hila.

Then, Hila turned into a ferocious mother beast and rushed into the group of enemy Warriors, killing them crazily.

After a few short minutes!

The only Vietnamese soldier that was close to the Hila warship was killed.

Hila returned to her warship and shouted, ” “The happy time has begun.”

Then, she steered the battleships and approached them one by one. Within a hundred meters, she began a crazy slaughter show.

The enemy’s warship had its mast and sail broken by the chain bomb and had completely lost its power.

A distance of 100 meters was a total bully. More than a dozen cannons on one side opened fire.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The fierce solid shell directly penetrated the enemy ship and destroyed it!

First paralyzed, then slaughtered!

The Hila warship was only a miniature of the entire sea battlefield, and it was the same for other places!

After a full six hours!

The battle was over!

To be precise, the hunt was over.

50 ships surrounded 400 ships and annihilated them.

Yan nanfei’s fleet was almost completely annihilated!
