Chapter 638: Capture Nova City

Or maybe the power of the artillery is too great, especially when more than 200 early siege guns are installed on the left and right sides of these giant battleships, and they are still playing salvos, in the huge roar, except for the targets locked by these siege guns and the buildings around the targets almost all collapsed in an instant, the many shocks from the giant battleships and even the huge waves around the battleship in an instant, and even the dense fog around the battleship was blown away, Of course, this fog was replaced by white smoke from the muzzles of the early siege guns.

"Tsk...... That's too weak, isn't it? I really don't know what the No. 3 gun said in the mouth of Sun Lin Mian (No. 1 artillery is the early siege artillery used by the army that does not set today, and now the Quartermaster Department is developing the No. 2 gun that can reduce the volume of the barrel - long-barreled cannon, and the No. 3 gun will be able to use cannons that are shotguns and iron ball bullets, as for No. 4 and No. 5, the people who have a clear goal call No. 4 a 6-pounder gun, and No. 5 a howitzer, of course, the artillery after No. 2 is in a situation where there are no drawings, Some are just the target) what can be equipped with our great fleet of the sun that never sets. Orso said as he grabbed the rope with the sail on it to keep his body balanced, and looked at the damage caused to Nova City by the eight main fleets that the sun never sets.

As Orso said, the number of guns added up before was definitely hundreds, although it was enough to scare all the soldiers on the side of the Bona Alliance, but in fact, the combat effectiveness of so many guns added up was really not very high: first, the extremely poor accuracy of the siege guns was destined to be unable to be controlled by the soldiers who were better at hand-to-hand combat in naval warfare. But in fact, the probability that the artillery will be able to hit the target it wants is less than 1 in 10; Secondly, the early artillery and even the No. 2 gun could be equipped with almost only solid shells. This kind of artillery ammunition is extremely powerful in the battle between fleets and fleets, after all, the early warships were all wooden-hulled ships, but when it comes to the land of the fleet, perhaps the power of this artillery is stronger than the scorpion crossbow in naval warfare, but the solid bullet without explosive effect is destined to be incomparable to the canister crossbow and the siege crossbow.

"Come on, Your Excellency Captain, you can be content, I don't know who was in the first place in Hook Bay when he saw the sunset heavy soldiers disguised as merchants of the Holy Light Great Empire transporting a shipload of siege guns, so he directly dragged away an artillery piece and hugged it for a long time." But just as Orso was speaking, a discordant figure passed by him. Pierce, the captain of the battleship Royal Victory, said: "Your Excellency, Captain, you must know that all the artillery that should have been equipped with our Sunset Army before the Dao Road has been taken away by our side, and even those artillery that were originally equipped with fleets such as Xiyi and Xihai are now in our hands. ”

"I have nothing to say to the other fleets. But didn't the army start to equip the No. 1 and Type 2 siege guns? With that kind of power that is exactly 3 times the power of the siege artillery we have, what else does their army have to be involuntary? Orso quibbled. Then there is an immediate change of subject. Let Pierce beside him not have time to answer at all: "Herald, give Lao Tzu a flag and tell the boys on the other battleships to give us a punctual time, and we will transfer our position after another 9 bombardments!" Also, if I find out which guy has one more shot, he'll only have to wash the deck in the future! ”

Due to the cumbersome loading of siege guns, and the fact that the captains of the fleet were directing their soldiers to operate this new type of weapon for the first time. And the sunset sailors on the battleship are also operating this new game for the first time, so Orso and Pierce both know that the original powerful salvo can only come once at the beginning, and then they can only let the sunset soldiers fire freely, so Olso and Pierce did not ask the sunset sailors who operate the guns to cover those targets. It's just a matter of letting the Sunset Soldiers shell Nova City and limiting the speed at which Sunset Sailors can fire their artillery.

This situation reflects that Orso feels extremely inappropriate for the use of new weapons in the navy and cannot command the effective operation of these guns, and at the same time, it also further weakens the damage of artillery to Nova City, resulting in the combat effectiveness of the artillery, although the artillery is still artillery, but the combat effectiveness shown under the operation of the sailors who do not set the sun is actually equivalent to a large group of old boys rushing up with burning sticks to surround and beat, perhaps the combat effectiveness seems to be very strong, but in fact, the combat power that should have been exerted has not been fully exerted.

But despite this, the power of the artillery, to be precise, the terrifying sound of the cannon still frightened more than 90% of the people of the Bona Alliance in the city, and many of the people of the Bona Alliance who were carried out from their sleep all began to cry after being carried out, and as the soldiers of the Bona Alliance who knew that the sun never set before, especially those who knew that the road was caused by the fleet of the sun never set, they had no intention of rescuing the city wall before, and after discarding the weapons in their hands, they fled in groups towards the inner city of Nova City, shouting: " The Sunset Fleet has brought the Behemoths of the Deep Sea! The Sunset Fleet has brought the Behemoths of the Deep Sea! ”

If Sun Lin was at the scene and found the performance of these Bona Alliance soldiers in front of him, he would definitely say: "Well, the effect is very good, it almost didn't scare these Bona Alliance soldiers into kneeling on the ground and shouting, 'The concubine can't do it, the concubine can't do it!'" 'That's it. ”

As for the remaining 10% of the Boner Alliance in Nova City, just like the Bona Alliance members who stayed on the third floor of the rear council chamber, although they were not frightened by these cannons that made a sound dozens of times more powerful than the cannons, they were all stupid by them, so that when the smoke caused by hundreds of guns had already enveloped the 8 giant warships that never set, and the 7 giant whale-class Hawkegar battleships and the Royal Victory had stopped firing and raised their anchors and began to leave, these Bona Alliance councilors and the 10% They were still standing on the ground, allowing their bodies to be knocked down and trampled by those scrambling to the inner city.

"It's all over! Get ready to travel to the next city! "After the sailors on the ship's observatory used two burning torches to convey Orso's command to the captains of the other seven Whale-class Hawkegar battleships, the captains of all the Whale-class Hawkegar battleships began to ask the sailors on board to start the evacuation plan, and Orso, who was the initiator of the evacuation plan, was now talking to a captain of the Hawker assault ship from the Southern Continent on the battleship.

"How? Each Hawker assault ship is equipped with a total of 12 guns, and now that you are given 5 of these Hawker assault ships, 1,000 sailors and 1 Naga regiment, are you confident that you will take Nova City? Orso asked uncomfortably as he watched the captain of the Amba pirate fleet, who had already stepped onto the boat, leave.

And in this regard, this Southern Continent half-elf who was transferred from the captain of the Amba pirate ship to the captain of the Sunset Hawk assault ship (the offspring of the elves and humans of the Crescent Empire, due to the close relationship between humans and elves in the Crescent Empire, and it is generally difficult for humans and elves to give birth to offspring, so the half-elves will not be spurned by the elves like most novels in the original world, on the contrary, many half-elves will be blessed by the elves sacrifices, and because these half-elves have the figure and appearance of the elves at the same time, And have the blood of the human race in the Southern Continent with a trace of beast blood, so the half-elf in the elf clan of the Crescent Moon Empire is like a strong orc among the orcs, because the individual combat power of the half-elf is generally very strong, but because of the scarcity of numbers, the half-elf can only become the king of the elf king of the elf race, or the apologetic warrior of the elf 3 sect) replied very confidently: "Don't worry, Your Excellency the captain, in fact, I think there is a Naga warrior, The combat effectiveness of 3 Hawk assault ships is enough. ”

"You'd better be careful." Orso said like an old man who was already old, in fact, he was already old: "There are soldiers of the Bona Alliance stationed in Nova City, and our artillery only destroyed the defenses on the shore of the Bona Alliance, if those Bona Alliances react, they can completely make the defenses in the inner city of Nova City operate, so your primary goal is not to defeat the soldiers of the Bona Alliance, but to use the terrifying power of the guns on the Hawk assault ships against the city walls." , Priority is given to destroying the walls of the city, the most rear, and the most important point, you have to remember that although the Naga Legion is strong, the Naga warriors can not fight on the ground for more than 1 day, and it is best to let the Naga warriors go back to the sea to rest for 1 day after 12 hours to replenish the moisture on their body surface, so you must not rely too much on those Naga warriors, if you can't attack for a long time, retreat back to the port area first, and use artillery and canister bows to kill the soldiers of the Bona Alliance's counterattack, you have to remember, Because of the presence of Naga warriors in this battle, it is not our side that is really afraid of fighting a war of attrition, but the side of the Bona Alliance, not to mention that there are griffin knights in the sky from time to time to assist us in air strikes. ”

"I will definitely take your account to heart, Your Excellency Captain, please rest assured! The half-elf captain said with a serious expression.

"Well, I hope that the next time I come, Nova City will have planted the lion flag of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets."

"Don't worry!" (To be continued......)
