***************************************************************************)
Robert Black's eyes widened in confusion and stared hard in that direction, and although he didn't see anything, his instincts told him that danger was coming.
This is also the advantage of a lateral piercing attack on the enemy's marching fleet, where the "Fire Phoenix-class cruisers" appear to be small triangular dots, and those protective colors make them look like they are at one with the sea from a distance.
Under such visibility, neither the crew on deck nor the lookout on the mast could detect it at all.
At this time, the speed of the "Fire Phoenix-class cruisers" had been raised to the extreme, and the three 100-horsepower engines had been increased to maximum power, and the speed of nearly fifteen knots quickly narrowed the distance between them and the enemy ships.
"Oh my God, what kind of monsters are these!" Robert Black finally spotted these things in his monoculars that looked like a ship of madness. But he couldn't understand what it was because it looked so strange and had no sails at all.
However, due to the crazy behavior of these "things", Robert Black still correctly understood that "they have bad intentions", and then he issued the order to prepare for battle.
"Order the fleet to stay in formation, all ships raise their mainsails, open their guns and prepare for battle! Blocking Shot! ”
At his command, the British sailors, still in the state of their ancestors, rushed out of the hatch on the deck, or climbed up the mast like monkeys. Or desperately untie or tie up the deadly cables of the sail battleship.
The gunners, who had been ordered to sleep next to the cannons, jumped out of their hammocks one by one. Regardless of rubbing the droppings in the corners of his eyes, with the speed he had gained from training, he was like a ghost dreaming, quickly reloading gunpowder, loading shells, opening the cannon door and a series of actions.
The crimson flames of the "Boom...... rang out in the night, but the haste of the shot, and the shaking caused by the uncalm sea, made it impossible for the shell to know where it had gone.
Although this cannon was the first to fire, and then the other guns did not roar lonely, but at this moment when the sky was getting darker, it was really difficult to deal with such a target that seemed to have little size on the sea.
Of course, thousands of guns continued to fire, and of course, there were times when several barrel-shaped shells hit the flagship of Huang Kehui's seat. However, the armor on the trapezoidal cross-section of the "Fire Phoenix-class cruisers" did not care at all about these shells, which had almost zero armor-piercing ability, although they were powerful.
As time passed, these "monsters" in the eyes of Robert Black were not afraid of artillery bombardment at all, and still used their crazy speed to break into the formation of the British Navy under the leadership of Robert Black.
At this moment, a large one-eyed light lit up on the heads of these "monsters", and a long pillar of light shot straight into the formation of British battleships. These are the lights that the captains of the "Fire Phoenix-class cruisers" use to find suitable passages.
At this time, the British battleship formation, in order to sail at night, not only hung the mast lights, but also widened the positions between each other, although the formation was still neat, but the distance between the battleships was quite wide.
And now their speed was almost entirely controlled by the currents, and the huge white sails were only raised by the efforts of the sailors.
At this time, Robert Black, who had already run back to the helmsman, had already understood in his heart that these "monsters" must be some kind of battleship that he did not know, and now they were relying on mobility to conduct close combat, and it was definitely a difficult thing to deal with in such a dark night.
Above Huang Kehui's flagship, in the brightly lit war room, Huang Kehui and Holliman stared closely at the nautical chart in front of them, which had already marked the positions of the two sides with a small boat model.
The current boat model has also undergone some changes, and there are some steel needle-like things sticking out of the boat model as a sign of the "rough firing boundary" of artillery fire. This allows commanders to better judge the merits of their position.
At this time, there was no need for Huang Kehui to issue any more orders, and his orders had been clearly conveyed on the way to launch the "attack" just now.
"Maintain the basic formation, each ship pierces from the path of the enemy fleet, and at the same time reaches the maximum firing position, it can fire on its own, the main target is the sail and rudder of the enemy battleship, after piercing, wait for the order on the other side of the enemy ship!"
As these "monsters" got closer and closer, Robert Black finally got to see what they looked like. If you want to judge by the standards of battleships, these things can't be considered battleships at all. However, the thin tubes sticking out of their ships were probably gun barrels, and it seemed that they were indeed warships produced for war.
"Without sails, what do they do to walk?"
While Robert Black was still thinking, the "monsters" opened fire. With the same deafening sound as when his own cannon was fired, a series of cannonballs dragging tongues of fire flew straight towards the British battleship. When it doesn't hit, it's nothing more than a big wave, but once it's hit.
The sound of the "boom" explosion would be heard from the British battleship, and with a loud bang, a huge fire immediately rose from the battleship, and the tall mast fell in the flames. Immediately after a louder explosion, the battleship was often blown into two pieces and then sank into the sea.
"Oh! My God, these monsters are so powerful! ”
Of course, these are not really terrible, if it is like this, it will be fine, but if you encounter the bombardment of those 60mm raindrops, it is definitely a nightmare.
"Tom tom" these little guys who reach 6~10 rounds per minute, the hateful thing is not the lethality, but the fact that their shells mainly use incendiary and anti-personnel shells, and the target is a tall sail.
A small aperture shines from the light below the ten-point cannon, and the gathering distance of 300 meters makes that aperture reach the optimal size at 400 meters. Therefore, there is no need to aim, and these raindrop guns are surprisingly fast in night fire.
As long as the aperture is on, just load the shell and shoot. Therefore, the tongues of fire that these "little guys" spew out when they keep shooting seem to equip the "Fire Phoenix-class cruisers" with beautiful wings that are fiery red and have a certain cruelty meaning.
With the passage of the "Fire Phoenix-class cruisers", the sails or sterns of the British battleships lit up the fires, and the fiery red flames illuminated most of the sky.
