Chapter 569: Naval Battle (1)

The first battle of the black technology dragon cannon recorded in the fragment of the Ink Book was quite sharp.

It is different from the integrated structure of the Divine Fire Flying Crow. Once used, each Divine Fire Raven is scrapped as a whole and needs to be rebuilt. And the dragon cannon has a significantly higher technological content.

The structure of the gun body and the shell is separated, which greatly reduces the cost. With a large and thick base and a slender cannon body, the Dragon Cannon is closer to modern cannons.

The initial challenge was to create a qualified gun base, which could be reused once the overall structure was formed. In the later stages, all that needs to be built is consumable parts like dragon cannonballs.

Since the resource system was opened, Lu Yao did not hesitate to ask Ma Jun to focus on the dragon cannon, and at the same time, the creation of the Divine Fire Flying Crow was secondary. After all, it is all up to it to make money from exports. Of course, the dragon cannon is for personal use, so as not to be used against yourself by others in the future.

At present, the dragon cannons on these 100 warships are all in stock. In order to forcefully respond to the current unfavorable rumors, Lu Yao also let it go.

Among the 100 warships, there were 10 ships and 90 fighting ships. Due to the large size of the dragon cannon and the large area of the cannon, the building ship took advantage of the large size, and a total of ten dragon cannons were placed on the decks of each floor. The ships were medium-sized warships, with a small deck area and limited space, with only three on each ship.

This number may seem insignificant, but the miraculous effect of the dragon cannon in naval warfare makes up for the lack of numbers. It only takes three dragon cannons to fire a salvo to burn one of the opponent's ships.

What's more, the Dragon Cannon also has an adjustable firing mode, which allows you to freely adjust the firing angle. It can be described as quite a black technology. The only drawback is that the launch angle is only in the range of 10 to 45 degrees.

Seeing that the Chen family's warships were cunning and scattered, trying to take advantage of the high mobility and absolute numerical superiority of the warships, Lu Yao smiled faintly, and then ordered all ships to fire at the sails of the enemy ships.

The flag was issued.

The warships received the flags and adjusted the angle of the dragon cannons. Soon after, one after another, the dragon cannonballs brought up billowing black smoke and flew out, heading straight at their respective targets.

The Chinese warships used hard sails. When the dragon cannonball hits, it immediately blooms with brilliant and deadly fire. The sea breeze swept up, and the raging fire immediately swallowed the sails.

Sails are the lifeblood of a warship. Whether it is turning, speeding up, or retreating, the sails are indispensable. The fire consumed the sails, and the ship immediately became a fool.

Three hundred and seventy dragon guns, after Lu Yao's order, each dragon cannon quickly lowered the angle and aimed at a fighting ship. The slender barrel and near-flat trajectory make aiming extremely easy. This is also a factor in the superiority of the Dragon Cannon over the Divine Fire Crow.

Except for the slight inferiority in range, it is completely superior to the Divine Fire Crow in other aspects.

The three hundred and seventy warships lost power, slowed down, and finally came to a halt on the surface. The deck of the ship was a mess, the firefighters were in a daze, and there were even those who had a nervous breakdown and jumped into the sea to survive.

Three hundred and seventy ships were taken down in one wave, much to the horror of the players on the other ships. The dragon cannon is very fast in installing the dragon head shell, and you can directly insert the dragon head shell into the gun port. At present, the distance of just two or three hundred meters is enough for the dragon cannon to launch one or two more waves.

Hang up more than 300 warships at a time, and the remaining more than 1,000 warships are enough for people to shoot three salvos. How much is left when the rocket is within range of the rocket?

This arithmetic problem was not difficult, and the players had to give the order to turn around and retreat.

There were more than 1,000 ships left to rush to the pigs and flee in a hurry. Lu Yao was unhurried and ordered to chase and kill. Anyone who saw which of the opposing ships was unfortunately lagging behind, they would knock off the sails on the spot.

The two sides chased and fled, and there were ships with blazing sails along the way. Lu Yao was not in a hurry to pack up these warships. In the vast sea, losing momentum is equivalent to putting a cutting board on it, which can be disposed of at any time. The most important thing at the moment is the terrifyingly large Chen family fleet in the distance.

At this time, the healer saw the fire in the sky from a distance, and he didn't know why. When the news came back, his face darkened.

Don't you dare to cheat a little more.

Cannons are known as the god of war. Bismarck famously said. Truth is only within cannon range. The black technology of dragon cannon is an ancient cannon, which can be called an invincible existence in an environment where gunpowder is forbidden.

How can this be fought?

The healer is almost crazy. The odds of victory will surely destroy the paradise in a war. But who would have thought that Lu Yao would actually come up with such a black technology as a dragon cannon like a trick.

"The resource system has just been opened, and there is no way he can build enough dragon cannons so quickly. The order was given, and the whole army attacked. I'm going to destroy him in sheer numbers! The healer roared.

When the order was given, the entire Chen family's fleet immediately moved. The first to be launched is the highly maneuverable Ship. Tens of thousands of warships greeted the fleet of sailors like a school of piranhas. Ten thousand ships also started slowly, like a war beast, killing violently.

"Bo Yan, do you have confidence?" Lu Yao saw the Chen family's fleet desperately and smiled faintly.

"The son will not disappoint his godfather." Xiao Zhengtai Lu Xun's face turned red, he held his head high, and led the order loudly.

Lu Yao smiled and handed over the command to Lu Xun. He had little interest in the ensuing battle, or rather was self-aware that he was not capable enough to command a large-scale naval battle.

Professional work is still left to professional people.

Lu Xun took over the command, and his expression became solemn. The enemy is outnumbered, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if you are not careful, you may exchange offense and defense, so that the opponent can lay the victory. This was his first battle, especially under the nose of his stepfather. He was not willing to end up with a defeat.

The ten Qiankun building ships and the ninety warships immediately changed their formations. The warship protected the Qiankun Tower ship in the center. The deck was busy, with sailors hurrying to install dragon cannonballs, and more sailors carrying dragon cannonballs out of the cabin. All preparations are being made in an orderly manner.

Both sides are moving against each other, and the speed is not slow. Lu Xun saw that the two sides were about to make contact, and with an order, the entire fleet of sailors changed direction neatly, and changed to face the Chen family's fleet from the side.

As soon as the maximum firing range of 900 meters arrived, the dragon cannons of all warships fired in unison. Three hundred and seventy dragon cannonballs brought up black smoke and flew towards the Chen family's fleet.

In just one salvo, the Chen family's fleet lost 100 ships. The warships that were quickly engulfed in the sea of fire made the hearts of the players in the rear cold.

The speed is almost the same, and the range of the weapon is far inferior to that of the opponent, so how can you fight?

How can things be trusted without seeing and hearing?

Before, it was just from a distance, and it didn't seem like a big deal. However, now that they have witnessed the power of the dragon cannon, all the players who witnessed this scene are deeply skeptical that this battle has any chance of winning.

The healer in the rear received another salvo from the Xanadu Water Master, and was shocked, muttering: "Impossible, it is impossible for him to build so many dragon cannons in such a short time." ”

Well, it must be so, that's right.
