With an absolute numerical inferiority, Kan Shu controlled the Sea Shark-class No. 1 ship, which had an absolute technological advantage, boldly seized the T-shaped head at close range, and directly sank a professional warship of Peter's fleet after several rounds of shelling, which made the people of Peter's fleet frightened.

They seemed to be in a state of confusion, and the other two ships immediately sprang up to speed, moving themselves from the front to the back.

The other ships, although they had not yet dispersed and fled, also appeared to turn in different directions.

It should be considered that the speed of the Xuan army ships is too fast, and they can only die faster after separation, so the entire fleet barely continues to get together.

During the chaos of Peter's fleet, Kanshu was not idle, but he did not rush recklessly to engage the enemy.

Instead, he steered the ships to the left front of Peter's fleet, blocked the range of the two ships with several armed merchant ships, and then ordered the 105mm gun at the rear to continue firing.

At this angle, Peter's fleet, which is adjusting their formations with each other, and the slower speed is a good target.

The 105mm howitzer constantly fired high-explosive shells into the enemy's formation, because the distance was only about 700 meters, the target was much better than when it was above 1000 meters, but it was also far from the target at a distance of 200 meters.

Peter's fleet was already a little overwhelmed, and several captains and their sailors began to retreat without obeying orders, disrupting the formation, and Peter and several organizers were trying to figure out how to solve the problem.

The bombardment of that artillery caused even more confusion and made them quite embarrassed.

They could only let the armed merchant ships on the periphery fight the Sea Shark-class No. 1 ship in vain, while quickly discussing countermeasures.

In this era, there was no radio, and it was impossible to have the technology to domesticate flying birds to send messages, so they could only constantly adjust their direction, trying to stay away from the Sea Shark-class No. 1 ship, and slowly use the method of small boats to transport liaison officers in tandem with each other.

At this time, the second and third ships of the Sea Shark class, which were far behind, followed, but these cowards still did not dare to get too close, and wasted shells from a distance and bombarded them with artillery.

However, although the two Sea Shark-class battleships were always inaccurate, it also caused psychological pressure on Peter's fleet, making them even more flustered, and there was even a collision between the two ships.

Unfortunately, Peter's fleet was now too slow, and the two armed merchant ships that collided did not do much damage, and the craftsmen on board were able to repair them.

Taking advantage of the enemy's turn again, the Sea Shark-class No. 1 ship once again took advantage of the favorable wind direction, and it was able to repeat its old tricks again.

Regaining the T-prefix, this time, still following the hit-and-run principle, when the No. 1 ship passed directly in front of the enemy convoy, the experienced gunners once again increased the rate of fire and fired a full 5 rounds of ammunition at the enemy.

However, the luck of this army was not good, because the fuse of the grenade, that is, the high-explosive shell, seemed to have something wrong, and only one shell exploded.

The rest, all duds, is embarrassing, 5 rounds of shells failed to destroy a single ship.

However, the dud shell is also a cannonball, so it is regarded as firing a solid bullet, and at the same time, a full 30 rounds of large-caliber pointed solid bullets can be regarded as causing damage to the enemy's bow.

From a distance, it seemed to have broken the ship's front mast, and the ship's speed dropped by nearly half at once.

Originally, the enemy's speed was only about 7 knots, but now it has dropped by half, a little more than 3 knots, and it is almost turtle speed.

The other ships of Peter's fleet saw that the speed of that ship had dropped so much, and they did not have the slightest intention of stopping to protect it, and after abandoning the ship, they headed straight for the southern sea.

The second and third ships of the Sea Shark class did not dare to charge when they charged, but they were indeed more positive than the other in beating the water dogs.

The two battleships quickly surrounded them, stopped 1,000 meters away, lowered anchor and closed their sails, opened their bows left and right, and constantly bombarded the enemy.

When the two warships fixed themselves in place with anchor chains, the accuracy of shooting suddenly improved a lot, and after eliminating the wind and waves that interfered with the shooting, the ships that came were simply abusing vegetables.

However, they rejoiced a little too soon.

Peter's fleet actually reflexively killed them after they dropped anchor.

Where are the two battleships fighting against the reservoir dogs, but I didn't expect Peter's fleet, which was badly beaten, to dare to come back.

Caught off guard, he was attacked by the professional warships of Peter's fleet.

It wasn't until two shells hit the hull and there was a violent crash that the two battleships woke up from a dream.

However, at this time, what the two battleships thought of was not to immediately counterattack and press the enemy back, but to escape.

Unfortunately, in order to improve their shooting accuracy when beating the water dogs, they lowered the sails and released the two anchor chains at the bow and stern.

At this moment, the two battleships were blinded.

It would take nearly half an hour for dozens or hundreds of sailors to work together to raise the sails with manpower, and it would take about that time to retract the anchor chain.

The steam engine installed on the battleship greatly reduced the workload of the sailors and increased the speed, but it only shortened the time to about 5 minutes.

What's more, the steam engine on the ship has only one transmission device, and at the same time, it can only do one thing, raise the sail or tighten the anchor chain, and the two things add up, that is nearly 10 minutes.

Most of the sailors on the two ships began to run around in a panic, and although they wanted to help, it caused even more confusion, and they forgot all about their usual training.

A handful of sailors were able to keep their composure and try to control the guns to return fire, but the crowd stopped them.

Peter's fleet was getting closer, the accuracy of the guns was getting higher, and the number of guns joining the bombardment was increasing.

Although the Sea Shark class has an armor belt, it is only a small wooden boat of 500 tons and a few cups, and it is equipped with steam engines and related fuel equipment, and it needs to be loaded with weapons, personnel, and materials, and how much spare displacement can be left, and the armor belt is just a narrow circle of steel plates fixed by rivets on key parts.

Under the increasingly frenzied artillery fire of the enemy, many shells were fired into the cabin from places without armor belts, and the sailors inside began to suffer casualties.

Tied to the Sea Shark-class No. 1 ship in the distance, he was stunned to see that the two Sea Shark-class battleships over there were completely powerless to fight back.

Is this true? Are those two battleships really the combat units of our army? Their captain really graduated from the Navy Martial Arts Hall?

Isn't this my own dream?
