Chapter 716: Griffin Plague (22)
Just when the sharp knife battleship and the Hawk assault ship started a broadside battle, the snooker battleship located behind many Ace support ships also began to raise their full sails and move forward, and at the same time, there were the other battleships of the Griffin Great Empire fleet and the battleships on the side of the sun, but because the heavy warships and even super heavy warships on both sides were not very strong in terms of movement ability, so from the overall point of view, the warships moving forward were only the medium-sized warships of the two fleets.
Although at the beginning of the war, the confrontation between the fleets of the two sides was used to send a giant sea monster and a large number of Naga warriors to raid on the side of the Sunset, which caused the fleet of the Griffin Empire to lose a lot of Ace support ships in the raid, but no matter if the area of engagement changed, the overall battle situation of the two sides' total 7 fleets did not change: at present, from the perspective of the battleships, the point of engagement between the large fleets of the two sides is only a small sea area between the Second Fleet of the Sunset and the Dawn Fleet of the Griffin Empire. Of course, one thing that must be admitted is that this sea area will be the center of future battles between all the fleets of both sides.
Due to the fact that the fleet of the sun never sets and the fleet of the griffin empire are not only different in the number of fleets, but also in terms of the types of warships they have, the side of the sun never sets empire also has a very special Xiyi warship, plus the first fleet of the sun does not act together with the second fleet and the Xiyi fleet, but enters the battlefield from the northwest corner of the entire sea area, in this case, the situation that should have been a head-on collision between the two fleets on a large sea area becomes: after discovering the situation in front of you, The Griffin Empire immediately dispatched one-third of the snooker warships, half of the turtle shell warships and griffin warships of all the Griffin Empire fleets to face the Sunset First Fleet that entered from the northwest corner of the battlefield, and then used all the remaining forces to deal with the Sunset Second Fleet facing it, and the Sunset side made all the fleets of the Xiyi Fleet line up in a long snake formation except for a part of the Thousand Fire Ships while the First Fleet began to flank from the battlefield. Then take a circular path towards the right side of the Griffon Grand Empire fleet group.
The reason why the sun never sets wants the Xiyi fleet to drive like this. The main reason is that although the warships of the Xiyi fleet carry a huge capacity, because of the slow movement, and the fact that non-modern warships are generally wooden-hulled warships, no matter how much the defensive power changes, the official house-type warships and Anzhai warships of the Xiyi warships cannot become the so-called sea fortresses in the end, but can only become the long-range fire support warships unique to the so-called great empire on which the sun never sets. Now, as a sharp knife battleship with a high threat to both the Ataku type battleship and the Guanzhai class battleship in the Xiyi warship, it was mobilized to the front of the battlefield because the sun never sets on the Sea Clan Foreign Legion, and it was deeply trapped in the swamp of the battlefield. That is, after the heavy siege artillery of Xiyi medium and heavy battleships is transferred to the open air, it will continue to output fire to the fleet of the Griffin Empire.
"Shift the cannon and turn the muzzle to the ships of the Griffon Empire!" Because the Xiyi battleship, whether it is a medium warship or a heavy warship, has an extremely strong load capacity, even the official house-type warship in the Xiyi warship can also be installed on the platform where it originally has a giant crossbow to defend the city. The square platform was transformed into a circular platform with a larger footprint, and a large heavy gun was placed on top of it by installing pulleys, steel rails, and other devices to speed up the rotation of the platform. So in the roar of many Xiyi captains. Many Xiyi sailors tied the handle specially installed at the time of casting on the top of the No. 1 Demon Transformation Cannon with thick hemp rope, and then gathered dozens of sharp weapons to finally turn these guns to an acceptable angle in the eyes of everyone, and used the device on the new platform to start loading work for those No. 1 Demon Transformation Cannons, of course, there were also several strong Xiyi sailors who jointly raised a huge cannon chamber cleaning brush to clean the No. 1 Demon Transformation Artillery.
Although there is no biggest threat to the knife battleship, whether it is an official ship or an ataka ship, after having a paddlewheel device, even if a layer of steel plate with a thickness of tens of millimeters is attached to the surface of its paddle wheel. Even if these two types of warships have firing ports on all sides of the ship where the guns are placed, the defense capability of the two types of warships is always the same, it looks like an iron plate, but in fact its defense is not half a star, so for the sake of safety. These Xiyi medium and heavy warships, which had broken away from the frontal attack on the Griffin Empire's fleet fleet, kept the distance between themselves and the Griffin Empire's fleet within the range of the No. 1 Demon Alteration Gun, which was higher than the Defending Giant Crossbow, rather than within the range of the No. 1 Normal Artillery.
Although the battleship can be regarded as a limited No. 1 magic cannon to a certain extent, it is already dispensable (after all, Kodomon can pull this behemoth around), but because of the mechanical platform, the No. 1 magic cannon on the Xiyi battleship has not only been improved in the strike area, but even the loading speed has been improved due to the existence of the loading equipment, after all, the area hit by the No. 1 magic change gun placed on the ground is only directly ahead, And the No. 1 magic cannon on the Xiyi battleship can rotate 360 degrees! As for the so-called mobility, in fact, the Xiyi warship is not much slower than the Kodomons walking on the ground?
"Launch!" So soon, in the roar of many captain Xiyi who never set, one by one the Xiyi warships that broke away from the sunset fleet began to carry out long-range artillery bombardment, and these huge shells that were fired out of the sky and could crush thousands of troops and horses even if they rolled on the ground turned into many unimaginable ballistics in the air, and they fell one after another on the Naga warriors, but had become riddled in the previous attack, and some even fell on the sea around the snooker battleship behind them.
Although the probability of these shells hitting the Ace support ship and the snooker battleship is extremely small, as long as this cannonball is hit, it will either leave a shocking hole in the battleship, or it will be like being hit by the dragon bone of the giant crossbow defending the city, and at the same time that the battleship is torn in two by the huge force, it will slowly sink into the water.
