When the giant ship appeared in the telescope.

The commander couldn't help but exclaim.

This was a huge ship, but at this moment... it was coming towards this side at a strange speed.

Anyone who is familiar with ships at sea all year round will find it strange.

Because the ships are all sailing, there is strong wind at this time.

Under the huge sea breeze, the side sail should be raised, and then... in a horizontal way to go obliquely.

The most important thing is that the opposite side should be leeward.

When you are leeing...how can a ship be traveling at such a speed?

The opponent's speed must have exceeded ten knots.

And even the fastest Clippers cannot appear in this kind of weather and sea area.

"Hurry, hurry, send an alarm, prepare to face the enemy, welcome the enemy!"

The entire Princess Mary was in chaos, and almost everyone was at a loss.

This is really not a good weather for naval battles. In such weather, people tend to temporarily lead the opponent and wait until the wind and waves are smaller before fighting.

But now, the giant ship was rushing towards the joint fleet without hesitation.

The commander is Saxon, who has a lot of experience in ships.

But now, he was a little at a loss.

Princess Mary rose and fell in the waves, and from time to time, big waves rose from under the boat, and then the cold sea water slapped on the deck.

People have returned to their posts in the ups and downs of these ups and downs.

It has to be said that Princess Mary is worthy of being a main battleship. Although the sailors and gunners in the ship still perform their duties in such a harsh environment, almost everyone... are ready for battle.

The ship began to move sideways.

The hull was exposed in front of the giant ship opposite.

Immediately afterwards, muzzles protruded out of the hull, and eight-pound cannons were in place at this time.

The other ships seemed to have formed a tacit understanding with Princess Mary.

They also plan to hunt this giant ship.

Although I don’t know what kind of Mingtang is, why it appears on the sea, where it comes from, and where it is going.

But people who have been in the vast ocean all year round have no trace of so-called romance and friendship. Any ship with unknown origin is their enemy. Although they are purported to be a merchant, they are actually robbers holding swords.

At this moment, the gunners began to see the giant ship getting closer and closer from the opening.

This giant ship has not been rampant yet.

Instead, the bow of the ship was directly facing the belly of Princess Mary, and was still riding the wind and waves, driving quickly and quickly.

The black and black painted boat bottom cut through the waves.

It got closer, but the closer it was, the gunners discovered that... this giant ship and the ships they had seen before were completely different from those that could float on the sea.

"Prepare, prepare..." Someone shouted anxiously: "Waiting to get closer, waiting to get closer..."

The nervous person shouted, for fear that a gunner would fire rashly. Such a distance would naturally not be suitable for firing. It would be too far. If you want to severely damage the other party, you must get closer. The closer the better.

But at this moment...

They heard the sound of cannons amid the whistling of the waves and the sea breeze.

Yes……

The other party fired.

Rumble...

The sound of the cannon was mixed with the sound of the sea breeze and was soon covered by the roar of the waves.

Just as everyone was still stunned.

On the deck, General Saxon showed a puzzled expression.

It is still far away now, and it is obviously extremely unwise for the other party to fire the fire now.

Because this means... they are not only wasting shells, but also taking a lot of time to load shells. When they really come into contact with the shells, it will be too late to reload them.

So, in this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed that the other party was obviously not familiar with the naval battle.

But...Saxon soon understood everything.

Several shells flew over.

Although more shells shot into the waves, they made waves on the sea.

However, one of the shells directly hit the guardrail on the hull, and banged it and entered the belly of the boat along the hole.

The next moment...

boom……

The flames rose from the belly of the boat.

then……

The entire ship swayed violently.

Saxony on the deck was stunned.

He didn't expect that the other party was using a flowering bullet.

And the power of this flowering bullet...is obviously much greater than he imagined.

A huge hole broke out on the lower abdomen of the entire ship.

Many sailors and gunners died instantly.

Then, a large amount of sea water flocked to the bottom of the cabin.

The ship seemed to be pulled by the sea water all at once, and it descended sharply wildly.

On the deck, someone shouted in fear: "It's going to be a shipwreck, it's going to be a shipwreck."

"It's on fire, it's on fire."

Huge thick smoke rose from the bottom of the ship, and the smoke and burning black smoke no longer dared to get off the bottom of the ship to put out the fire.

The surviving people on the deck were like ants on a hot pan.

Immediately afterwards, Princess Mary's hull began to tilt.

What’s ridiculous is that... So far, I have no power to fight back against the other party’s ships.

Someone who blew up half of his body screamed wildly at the bottom of the bilge.

The survivors ran back and forth desperately under the thick smoke, and then their breath became weaker and heavier, and finally fell silently.

On the deck, a large number of sailors began to jump ship and escape decisively.

The adjutant pulled Saxon anxiously and shouted in panic: "General, we must abandon the ship."

Saxon pursed his lips and looked straight at him. He was still dumbfounded in this long shock.

It’s not that he doesn’t have the psychological qualities that a commander should have, nor is it that he lacks experience.

On the contrary, it was precisely because he was an experienced general and familiar with naval battles that he was completely shocked by this giant ship.

After the giant ship fired the cannon, it seemed that it didn't care whether it hit the target, but continued to move forward, like a reckless man, plunged into the formation of the joint fleet without hesitation.

Then, it kept firing fire, like a roaring beast.

Above the waves, the huge metal hull cuts the waves and sucks the countless wreckages and debris of the waves into the bottom of the ship.

What's even more terrifying are the sailors who jumped into the sea to escape.

As the giant ship passed, a whirlwind formed at the bottom of the ship consciously, so the person was quickly sucked in, and finally sucked into the bottomless cold darkness.

Rumble... Rumble...

Almost all around the giant ship was spitting out flames, and the cannons were firing continuously like crazy.

At this time, it gradually appeared in the center of the entire joint fleet.

It’s just a pity... although it was surrounded by a bunch of people, with it as the center, dozens of ships had been scrapped directly.

There were people who were floating in the water and shouting for help, as well as countless corpses floating everywhere on the sea.

The surrounding ships began to fire at the giant ship frantically.

It’s just that their ship cannons from the Black Powder Age are simply impossible to penetrate the steel plate of a giant ship that is one inch thick.

Even heavy artillery on land may not cause damage, and the ship cannon itself needs to restrain the amount of gunpowder used. Moreover, with their iron ball-like shells, at most, they only have a few more signs of impact on the guardrail of this giant ship.

There were even ships lying beside the giant ship, and the giant ship still rushed into it at an extremely fast speed without hesitation.

After a moment, the wooden ship was smashed to pieces in an instant.
