Chapter 469

(Thank you for the tens of thousands of coins from 111 and Inari of Lanshan)

Is the Shen Lang fleet equipped with grenades? Is it just an exploding bomb?

Of course there is, and the power is not too small. But his time in the western world was too short to have time to modify advanced grenades.

So now all his guns are smoothbore, not rifled.

Secondly, all his grenades are also spherical shells, and they also use the most primitive time tube. Slow-burning gunpowder is injected into a hollow wooden tube, and the time tube is ignited by the intense high temperature at the moment of firing, and then the shell is shot out. Explode in a fixed time.

However, this spherical grenade Shen Lang was not made too much, because it was destined to be eliminated.

This kind of explosive bomb has a long history on earth. In the 11th century AD, there was a prototype of the blooming bomb. In the 15th century, the official grenade had come out, but the real large-scale use was in the 19th century.

Before the introduction of the rifled gun and the cylindrical shell, the spherical blooming projectile never became the mainstream. And the cylindrical cone shell is related to another problem, triggering the fuze.

These problems need to be overcome one by one, which means that Shen Lang needs a huge base and a large industrial base, and Raging Tide City is very suitable.

After taking Raging Tide City, take down Jinshan Island in the shortest time, so that there will be a steady stream of steel. The next step is to build Raging Tide City into a sea fortress, open air routes with the Western world, and transport saltpeter, sulfuric acid, etc. from afar, so that the military/industry can be developed crazily, and the lethality of artillery can be continuously improved.

Shen Lang has calculated that as long as the midway island supply point is built well enough, the voyage from the Eastern World to the Western World can be shortened from three months to about one month.

Closer to home, at this time, even if there is no grenade to hit the fleet that is difficult to fly, it is completely more than enough.

Because at a distance of 300 meters, Yan Nanfei's fleet could not cause any damage to Shen Lang at all.

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery of the Shen Lang fleet opened fire frantically, and the Yan Nanfei fleet sank one after another!

However, Yan Nanfei calmed down at this time, and her heart seemed to have been floating in the air before returning to her chest.

That's right.

There is a reason for any of Shen Lang's seemingly crazy actions. He is so unscrupulous because he has a trump card.

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

"Commander, what should I do? What should I do? Shen Lang's new weapon is too ferocious." The generals under his command shouted.

"What should I do?" Yan Nanfei said fiercely: "Of course, continue to charge."

"Keep rushing, keep rushing!"

"Although Shen Lang's new weapon is powerful, it takes at least dozens or hundreds of iron balls to sink one of our warships. How many ships have we sunk since the start of the war?"

"Fifteen ships." The general said.

Yan Nanfei asked, "How many ships do we have in total?"

"A thousand ships." The general said.

Yan Nanfei said: "Is the current situation still unclear? We can only be beaten passively at a distance of 300 meters, but within 300 meters, our giant crossbow can counterattack. Thousands of warships can fire rockets."

"Shen Lang's new weapon is very powerful, but as long as he can't completely annihilate us in a short period of time, he will be finished."

"It is a complete nonsense to want to defeat our 150,000 fleet with this new weapon."

"As long as the Shen Lang fleet is approached by us, he will be finished."

"Speed ​​up, speed up..."

Under Yan Nanfei's order, the fleet under his command braved the terrible rain of shells and continued to charge forward, continuing to attack from east to west.

To some extent, Yan Nanfei's idea was right. Shen Lang's artillery is amazingly sharp, but iron ball cannonballs really can't kill a ship in a short time. In the sea battles of the 16th century, the battleships of the two sides usually bombarded each other for several days and nights, but they were still relatively intact after thousands of shells.

Yan Nanfei's fleet was of course not that powerful. His warships were hit by dozens or hundreds of shells, and they were basically finished.

According to his calculations, in half an hour at most, his fleet will be able to completely approach the Shen Lang fleet, and then the Shen Lang fleet can be wiped out with the wolf pack tactics.

"Quick, quick..."

On the sea that stretched for dozens of miles, the east and west of Yan Nanfei's fleet approached desperately, and continued to charge despite astonishing shells and casualties.

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

Yan Nanfei was overjoyed, finally approaching this distance, he was finally no longer beaten and could not fight back.

"Let, put, put..."

Following Yan Nanfei's order, thousands of giant crossbows began to fire, and hundreds of giant trebuchets opened fire.

Hundreds of boulders roared out, and the momentum was even more amazing than solid cannonballs. The two- or three-meter-long giant arrow was shot wildly, and this scene was quite shocking.

However... the results are almost completely zero.

The hit rate of a giant trebuchet on the ground is all metaphysical, let alone on the sea? Hundreds of giant trebuchets, not a single hit, but this is the real thing.

The hit rate of the giant crossbow is much better than that of the trebuchet. Thousands of giant crossbows have a hit rate of about 5%, and more than fifty giant arrows hit Shen Lang's fleet.

However, at the end of a strong arrow, you can't pierce the sword, let alone Shen Lang's fleet? It was reinforced with iron armor. Even if the giant crossbow was hit at this distance, it was just a scratch.

Yan Nanfei also fully understood this. He knew that it was completely impossible to rely on giant crossbows and catapults to destroy the Shen Lang fleet. But what he wanted was morale. It was too hurt to be beaten completely passively and not be able to fight back.

Now that he can fight back, even if there is no result, the momentum is enough.

As long as it continues to approach the Shen Lang fleet, and then the rockets shoot wildly, the Shen Lang fleet will be finished.

"Go on, get closer, get closer..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery of Shen Lang's fleet fired again.

At this distance, the power of the iron ball cannonball is quite amazing. It can penetrate several decks in a rampage, and if it hits the cabin above, it can even penetrate directly.

bang bang bang...

The amazing scene happened again. Dozens of astonishing shells shot directly through a ship, really penetrating from one side to the other. The sea water rushed in, the whole ship was spinning desperately, and it would soon sink completely.

But Yan Nanfei ignored her and fell into ecstasy instead.

Soon, soon.

It looks like his fleet is being slaughtered completely, but so far no more than thirty ships have been sunk, and more than 95 percent of the ships are capable of fighting.

As long as you get close to the Shen Lang fleet, this battle will be won.

I am still able to stand up to this inexorable feat.

However……

This is destined to be just a dream, and dreams are usually impossible to achieve.

Because the Shen Lang fleet waved a strange semaphore again.

Change the cannonball!

"Fire, fire..."

With an order.

Shen Lang's fleet fired frantically again.

However, the sound this time was too terrifying, like a ghost crying and a wolf howling.

Yan Nanfei looked up and couldn't help being completely horrified, what the hell is this?

There is an iron chain connected between the two iron balls, and they are shooting at a rapid rotation.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The sound was so piercing that it was terrifying.

This is of course a chain bomb, the absolute killer of close-range naval combat. The hit rate of solid shells is not high, and the lethality is not very large. But the lethality of the chain shot to the sails and masts is simply astonishing.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Yan Nanfei could see clearly.

A chain shot slammed toward the deck of a ship, and then... killed all the dozens of people on the deck in an instant, cut off the entire upper body, and died horribly.

"Bang bang bang..."

The chain bullets roared and flew wildly, cutting off everything they passed. The huge sail was torn directly, and the thick mast was directly cut off by the lazy waist.

"Bang bang..."

With a loud bang, Yan Nanfei's fleet smashed down one mast after another.

"fire……"

Then, the second round of shelling,

The third round of shelling swept wildly, all of which were chain bullets. The whole sea was full of the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling.

The most terrifying scene happened.

Yan Nanfei's naval battle mentality was the same as that of the old admirals. After approaching, he jumped directly to fight, or rockets shot wildly. Therefore, the distance between ships and ships is surprisingly close, completely dense, and his fleet is too large, which completely provides the best slaughterhouse for chain bombs.

The result is... horrific.

When I used solid shells before, it took almost half an hour to fire tens of thousands of shells, and in total, less than 30 ships were sunk.

And now the chain bombs at close range, the first round of shelling has paralyzed dozens of warships that are difficult for Yan to fly.

However, this is just the beginning. Even more deadly, the ships lost power immediately after breaking their masts and destroying their sails, spinning on the sea.

And the warship behind couldn't slow down at all, and it was even more impossible to stop, so it crashed directly.

"Bang bang bang..."

With loud noises, many of Yan Nanfei's ships collided one after another, jamming the sea area, his fleet was too dense.

"Fire, fire..."

The chain bullets of Shen Lang's fleet were shooting frantically, like a messenger from hell, cutting off one mast after another, tearing one sail after another.

Yan Nan flew the fleet, paralyzed in pieces.

The sea battles before the 18th century were usually very difficult to be chilled. Because both sides have similar weapons and tactics.

However, the sea battle between Shen Lang and Yan Nanfei was completely revolutionary, so it played a very refreshing rhythm.

Just under half an hour later.

Yan Nanfei's fleet had more than two or three hundred battleships destroyed, and more than four or five hundred swishes were completely paralyzed and crowded together.

This is a naval battle, and even at this time, the battle area has exceeded 20 to 30 miles.

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

The command of this naval battle was inherently difficult, and it completely relied on the performance of their respective warships. But now these warships are completely powerless once they are paralyzed on the sea.

His large fleet is like a giant beast, paralyzed in one place and paralyzed everywhere.

………………

After paralyzing Yan Nanfei's fleet, the real massacre began!

The distance was very close, and the Shen Lang fleet was once again replaced with solid shells.

"fire……"

"fire……"

Hundreds of artillery pieces fired again, this time on fixed targets.

The enemy's warships lost their power, and they were completely horizontal on the sea, and they were crowded and slammed together. It was difficult to miss.

"Bang bang bang..."

A scene of destruction appeared.

The truly devastating scene came.

At such a close distance, the power of the solid iron ball is simply amazing, and it easily penetrated the enemy's battleship directly.

Torn like crazy.

This time, really should use slow motion picture.

There is no explosion, it is simply torn with a solid shell.

On the vast expanse of the sea, fragments of warships flew side by side.

One battleship after another caught fire.

Because of such a close distance, and because of such a close distance, the iron ball that was shot out was even flushed red, smashing the enemy's battleship and setting the wood on fire.

The prelude to the Great Destruction begins.

This is the real carnage.

Every minute a warship sinks.

As for the people on the battleship? They are easy to be ignored, because this is the sea, and they cannot escape.

"Fight with them, fight with them."

"Swim over and fight with them."

The warriors of Yan Nanfei's fleet still have the spirit of blood and courage, and they can't bear the useless feeling of being passively beaten and unable to fight back.

Although the distance of two or three hundred meters is far enough, it is easy for these warriors at sea.

The next step is to climb on the Shen Lang warship.

This group of people is very cunning. They have been diving in the water before, and they didn't start to show their faces until the bottom of the ship, so as not to be hit by the bows of the Shen Lang fleet.

And after sneaking under the Shen Lang fleet, this group of people frantically started to chisel the ship.

This is also the traditional tactic of the navy in this era, piercing the opponent's warships, causing seawater to pour in, and the ships sink.

But when they were digging, they couldn't help but despair, because the bottom of Shen Lang's fleet was wrapped in a layer of iron armor, how could it be possible to dig through it?

Then, an even more nightmare scene appeared.

The skeleton party warriors on the Shen Lang fleet jumped down one after another, and rushed over with screams.

The fleet that Shen Lang participated in the battle was only less than 20,000 people. It was enough to operate a thousand artillery pieces. Six or seven thousand people were enough. The remaining 10,000 people could only watch the slaughter of their comrades.

Now, it was finally their turn to feast on them.

Dear, here we come.

Then, the warriors of the two fleets fought fiercely in the sea, and it was the most primitive violence/violence.

The warriors of Yan Nanfei's fleet were full of confidence, and they could finally go head-to-head and return to fighting with cold weapons.

However, I didn't expect it to be a nightmare too.

These warriors of Shen Lang Fleet don't look old, some of them have lost several teeth, and they look wretched and thin. But there is only one word to describe each one in the sea, white stripes in the waves.

This water is so amazing, not to mention that they can swim on their legs, giving people the feeling that their third leg can swim, and they are completely flexible.

Moreover, everyone's machete is extremely cunning, killing with minimal force.

Still a one-sided slaughter.

The Skull Party warrior still had only one thought in his mind at this time.

Easy, too easy.

Before the bloody baron's fleet was so weak, why is the combat effectiveness of the warriors of the oriental fleet so weak now.

Killing is effortless at all.

However, it was still the same sentence, it was not that the warriors of the Yan Nanfei fleet were too weak, but that the Skull Party fleet was too strong. They were an army that had been fighting sea monsters for ten years.

The slaughter of the artillery on the sea was astonishing, and the slaughter of the Skeleton Party in the sea was even more astonishing.

Just under half an hour.

The Skull Party Samurai finds himself unable to find an opponent.

Because Yan Nanfei jumped into the sea and swam over, there were only less than 10,000 warriors, and they were all killed.

The whole sea was full of floating bodies, and the sea was dyed red again.

"Come up, come up!" The commander of the Skull Party shouted loudly, and the group of Skull Party warriors reluctantly returned to the warship and continued to watch the gunner's performance.

However, they found that the original artillery show had also ended. The entire sea has been reduced to hell, with flames everywhere, and the mutilation of warships everywhere.

Stretching for hundreds of miles, there are warships that are about to be scrapped floating everywhere.

Yan Nanfei had a 150,000-strong navy and more than 1,000 warships. Originally, it was mighty and covered the sky and the sun.

After a few hours of fierce fighting, more than 500 battleships in Yan Nanfei's fleet had sunk, and the remaining 100 were spinning on the sea, and they were going to sink soon.

The east and west fleets he sent to attack were basically destroyed, and the two fleets, north and south, that did not participate in the war survived.

………………

Yan Nanfei stood on the highest point of the flagship, scanning the entire sea with a telescope, covered with ice and cold.

Being defeated like a mountain should only be suitable for ground warfare, but now that it is on the sea, this scene has also happened.

More than 600 warships and more than 70,000 people were all destroyed.

This is not a battle at all, but a massacre, especially in the last two hours, especially after the Shen Lang fleet used chain bombs, it was simply a grand drama of destruction.

The fleet that Yin Yuan would spend a lot of money to build was half finished in just a few hours.

"Master, what should I do?" the general said.

Yan Nanfei closed his eyes in pain. In fact, there were still half of his fleet left, and there were still six or seven hundred warships of various types, more than 80,000 people.

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

"Retreat, retreat..."

Yan Nanfei gave an order in pain!

Immediately, the horns for retreating on the sea sounded, and the flag-bearers began to wave their flags.

Then, the two fleets from the north and south that Yan Nanfei were flying began to evacuate and escape. It is impossible to win this naval battle, so it is better to return to the land and rely on the big castle of Raging Tide City to defend.

At least until now, the Castle of Raging Tide City has never been really broken or fallen!

Retreat, retreat!

Yan Nanfei's remaining fleet escaped.

And Shen Lang's fleet was unceremoniously divided into two, and began to hunt down on the sea!

………………

This chase is very similar to a scene in the animal world. A male lion fiercely pounces on the wildebeest, and one chases and kills dozens or hundreds of them.

Most of Shen Lang's 100 warships were transformed from Skeleton Party warships, and what this group of pirates are best at is to build a ship with the fastest speed, an all-color clipper warship, whose speed exceeds that of Yan Nanfei's fleet. About half.

This surpassing range is not large, but it is completely enough on the vast sea.

Yan Nanfei used a telescope to observe the Shen Lang fleet.

"He, what is he doing?"

The general under his command trembled: "He, he is going to surround us."

In fact, Yan Nanfei knew the answer, but he still couldn't believe it. Is Shen Lang crazy?

He has a total of 100 warships, and they are divided into two groups, north and south, to hunt down. Fifty warships are going to surround 400 ships? 10,000 people surrounded by more than 40,000 people? Just downright lunatic.

That's right, Shen Lang did intend to surround and annihilate it.

If it was just a normal chase, then the Yan Nanfei fleet would still escape a large number of them. Only by rushing to the front of the Yan Nanfei fleet to intercept the road ahead and spread out a very sparse and thin encirclement would it be possible to complete the annihilation.

Next, the Shen Lang Skeleton Party fleet gradually surpassed Yan Nanfei's fleet from both sides, relying on its own speed advantage.

Then began the long siege process.

And Yan Nanfei's fleet, regardless of it, kept running away.

After three full days and three nights, Shen Lang's encirclement on the sea was formed.

Looking down from the sky, you will find that the entire encirclement is pitifully thin. There are only fifty warships, and the four hundred warships that Yan Nanfei can fly are surrounded by a sea area of ​​more than 20 miles in length and width.

After the encircling circle is formed, it begins to gradually shrink and approach.

How similar is this scene?

It's just that Yan Nanfei's fleet surrounded Shen Lang before, and now it is the Shen Lang fleet's turn to surround Yan Nanfei.

"Fire, fire..."

After approaching the distance of 800 meters, Shen Lang's fleet officially opened fire.

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

Keep getting closer, get closer!

Shen Lang's fleet is really crazy, one battleship rushed to ten battleships, and then claimed that you were surrounded.

Yan Nanfei was trembling with anger, Shen Lang, you are too arrogant!

Then he gave a sudden order, and the entire fleet was dispersed.

Every eight warships form a group, surround one of Shen Lang's ships, and then approach the battle.

Before, the six hundred warships couldn't beat a hundred of you. This is a group effect, because the artillery of a hundred warships added together, the lethality is really amazing.

And now eight ships are hitting you one, I don't believe you can't beat it.

After Yan Nanfei gave the order, the semaphore of the entire fleet continued to pass, and then his fleet began to fight each other like a goddess scattered flowers.

Eight battleships surrounded a battleship that rushed towards Shen Lang.

………………

Hela commanded a battleship alone. She stood at the height of the mast and acted as a chess player herself. She was really not a qualified captain.

"Hold on, hold on, don't rush!"

The eight warships that Yan Nanfei kept approaching Hela's fleet were getting closer and closer.

In fact, it was possible to fire from 800 meters away, but she didn't.

Five hundred meters, four hundred meters!

The Skeleton Party pirates almost held their breath, because the distance was already very dangerous, and the enemy's trebuchets and giant crossbows were already able to hit their battleships. Although the accuracy is not high, if a boulder hits, it will bring huge losses.

Three hundred and fifty meters!

Hela suddenly ordered: "Fire!"

Immediately, the thirty artillery pieces of her battleship fired at the same time, firing in all four directions.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The terrifying chain bullets shot out again.

"Fire, fire!"

"Hurry up!"

The artillerymen on the Hella ship were insane, clearing their guns as fast as they could, loading explosives, and loading chain rounds.

"Fire, fire..."

The distance of 350 meters is simply a mass of death distance.

Yan Nanfei's eight warships desperately tried to approach.

"Bang bang bang..."

The chain bomb once again showed amazing lethality.

One, two, three, four...

One warship after another lost power and began to spin at sea.

But there were still four ships approaching a distance of 200 meters.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot..."

No need for the trebuchet either, because the target is too weak.

All use giant crossbows, and all they shoot are rockets.

"Swish swish..." The four ships were equipped with dozens of giant crossbows.

Even at this distance, the hit rate is less than ten percent.

But more than five giant rockets still hit Hela's battleship.

Fry, fry, fry!

The commander of the Yan Nanfei fleet shouted in his heart that the reason why he shot the rocket was to detonate the explosives on the Hela battleship, so that this mighty battleship could be easily destroyed.

However, he thinks too much!

The gunpowder on the Shen Lang battleship is all extremely stable. Even if it is burned with fire, it needs the highest temperature, and it takes several seconds to detonate.

However, their rocket had just hit the explosives and was immediately extinguished by the sea.

"Fire, fire..."

The Hela battleship kept firing, and dozens of artillery pieces kept firing chain rounds.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot!"

The commander of the Yan Nanfei fleet shouted desperately, and the samurai rockets on the ship shot wildly.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

This distance is already very close, and the power of the chain bullet is simply amazing.

After a whistle and howl, dozens of warriors on the deck disappeared, and everyone's body was cut off by the waist.

"Rush, rush, rush..."

The commander of the Yan Nanfei fleet waved his sword and roared furiously.

However, the warships beside him lost power one by one.

at last!

The commander's own ship rushed in front of the Hela ship.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the two battleships collided violently.

Then, his battleship was knocked out alive by a huge breach. Because Hela's warships have steel rams, and they are also covered with iron armor.

"Welcome..." Hela let out a fierce smile.

Then, hundreds of pirates of the Skeleton Party jumped over fiercely, and even Hela herself jumped over.

The commander of this battleship is a thousand households and a warrior.

When he saw the beautiful Hela, he even said in his heart, "Qingben beauty, why is she a thief?"

Let's fight!

The Qianhu suddenly drew his sword and shouted, "Kill!"

For the glory of the family, for Lord Yan Nanfei, kill!

He swung his sword sharply and killed Hela.

Hela didn't draw the sword, but put on the glove and slammed it with a punch.

"boom!"

next second!

The Qianhu Commander's body flew out directly, his head was gone, and he was smashed alive by Hela.

Then, Hela turned into a ferocious female beast, rushed into the group of enemy warriors, and slaughtered frantically.

In just a few minutes!

The only Vietnamese soldier near the Hella battleship was killed cleanly.

Hela returned to her battleship and shouted, "Happy time has begun."

Then she drove the battleship, approached one by one, and within a hundred meters, started a crazy slaughter show.

Enemy ships had been knocked out of masts and sails by chain shots and completely lost power.

A hundred meters away is completely bullying. A dozen artillery pieces on one side opened fire.

"Boom boom boom..."

The ferocious solid shells directly penetrate the enemy ship and destroy it!

Paralyze first, then kill!

The Hella battleship is just a microcosm of the entire sea battlefield, and the same is true for other places!

Three full hours later!

The war is over!

To be precise, the hunt is over.

Fifty ships surrounded 400 ships and annihilated them.

Yan Nanfei's fleet was almost wiped out!
