Chapter 64: Confused soldier

"How far is it into range?"

Looking at the increasingly clear Port Royal, Lord Beckett stood up and asked.

Because the weather in the Caribbean Sea is very good, the visibility is quite good, even without a telescope, Beckett can now see the distant view of Port Royal.

By the way, you can still see the top of Port Royal, where a group of people are standing on the shore defense gun position.

In terms of the range and performance of the artillery, there is not much difference between the current shore defense artillery and shipborne artillery, but the artillery in the port is condescending, so it will have a suppressing effect on the ship.

But this thing is only relative, Port Royal can't survive 70 or 80 artillery pieces, and every warship on his side has at least 40 or 50 artillery pieces, and the total artillery number exceeds two thousand!

This kind of difference in numbers cannot be smoothed out by mere morale and a little bit of location.

"In ten minutes, we can enter the maximum range!" Arnold looked up at the weather, then raised his right hand and threw a feather, confirming the wind direction based on the feather's flutter, and then replied.

"Very well, I want to hang all those sinners who dare to resist His Majesty the King!" Beckett nodded comfortably, in his opinion there was no suspense about the battle.

This time I brought 16,000 soldiers, plus 50 warships. This force is not something a Port Royal can contend.

His goal is to rule the entire Caribbean Sea and expand the glory of the British Empire. Let this group of overpowering guys become the first sacrifice after coming to the Caribbean Sea!

‘Boom——’

An explosion suddenly sounded from the side, and the waves of water bounced into the sky, and the huge impact even shook the battleship Endeavour.

"what's happening?"

Lord Beckett quickly stood up, trot to the edge of the deck, and asked in confusion.

had the same expression as him, and the captains of a dozen nearby warships. Everyone looked at each other, wondering what had happened just now.

"It's missed!"

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Li Qingyuan said a little sorrowfully.

Although I didn't expect the first shot to hit, but it was really depressing.

"Please wait a moment, it will be done right away!" Ramuel quickly began to order people to adjust the muzzle, even after Li Qingyuan's transformation, this artillery has instantly changed from an antique in the 17th century to a strategic artillery in the early 20th century. , But it is impossible to hit 100%.

Even the 21st century artillery hit rate is only 10%, let alone this kind of artillery during World War I!

Of course, 10% of that is because precision strikes are required. Now the enemy's warship is only five nautical miles away from its own, and it only needs to wait for the warship. Compared with the hit rate, it can reach 30 or 40%.

"Why is this gun so weird?" Elizabeth Swan, who had been stumped for a long time looking at the giant cannon that was two or three times larger than the ordinary cannon, finally couldn't help but ask.

Although she was **** by a one-piece tunic skirt, and by the way, even her hands were covered by one-piece gloves. The whole person looked like a mental patient in restraint clothes, but she still The title of a marquise hung, so facing Elizabeth's question, Ramuel explained it with all his heart.

"This mighty general was rebuilt by Lord Marquis himself. The range of this cannon is three times that of ordinary cannons, and its power is more than ten times!"

Speaking of this, Ramuel couldn't help but fumbled the cannon's barrel, as if stroking his dream lover.

"Ten times?" Governor Swann, who had been silent next to him, shouted, raising his voice.

From two days ago, Governor Swann has been in conflict.

On the one hand, he hoped that Beckett could bring people to regain Port Royal, and then he would cut Li Qingyuan a thousand dollars.

On the other hand, he also hopes that Li Qingyuan can win the fleet led by Beckett!

After all, based on the private grievances between him and Beckett, when Port Royal was captured, it was when their father and daughter died.

Governor Swann had already prepared a pistol, ready to use it for suicide when the fleet captured Port Royal, but now! He grabbed the binoculars from others in a panic and looked at the British warship in the distance.

‘Wow! ’

Another shell was fired. This time it did not fall into the sea due to the angle adjustment, but directly hit a Tier 3 battleship.

Then!

In all the stunned expressions of everyone, the entire ship of the Tier 3 battleship exploded directly, and a three-hundred-sixty degree spiral came to the sky!

"Impossible!"

Governor Swann slipped his hand, and the telescope worth hundreds of pounds fell to the ground with a snap, and the lens fell to pieces.

"What happened?" Elizabeth Swann felt the strange atmosphere and asked quickly.

She wanted to run to Governor Swann and ask what had happened, but her feet were still locked together and she couldn't go.

No way, this little girl has a bad temper, and the Lord Marquis ordered that unless it is a special situation, she should be locked up.

"How could it be!" Governor Swan sat on the ground, still doubting his life.

"Very well, UU reading continue!" Seeing a battleship turned directly into ruins at sea, Li Qingyuan nodded.

Battleships are definitely a killer at sea for people of this age. Even if they are only Tier 3 battleships, they are more than 40 meters long, have a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, and carry dozens of artillery. They are almost rare in the sea except for natural disasters. Every rival.

The upper and lower three layers of 15 cm thick oak boards can withstand all physical blows, even if they are hit by artillery, with the current power of solid bullets, it takes less than a dozen shots to sink a battleship.

Considering the impressive hit rate of the current artillery, it can be said that basically wanting to sink a battleship in a naval battle is an impossible task.

But now!

just a mere shot, sent a Tier 3 battleship directly to the seabed.

There are dozens of lucky soldiers lying on the driftwood in a daze!

who am I? where am I? What am I doing?

Why was the ship just as big as the war preparations on board just now, but the big ship disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Using cannons from the First World War to bully the ancients of the 18th century is no different from an adult bullying a kindergartener.

The wooden warship has no defense at all in front of the explosive bomb. No matter how thick a wooden board is, it is impossible to block the power of the explosive bomb.

Lamuir quickly ordered his men to start adjusting the angle of the cannon, and now his face was full of excitement.

Although he had known that this mighty general had become extremely powerful after being transformed by Lord Marquis, he felt extremely excited when he saw the battleship sinking with a single shot.

One shot in hand, the world is invincible!

For the artillery chief, such a super firepower cannon is a magical weapon!
