Chapter 281 Those who come out to mess around always have to pay back

Jack Aubrey watched the Fortune sailing towards the rear of the fleet, and then ordered his orderlies: "Show the lights on the Fortune, and ask them if the target is behind them! How far away is it! "

"Yes!" The messenger quickly passed the order to the signal soldier of the Goddess of Victory, and the light language was quickly typed out...

The lucky number also quickly replied.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Fortune said that the devil is about two nautical miles behind them, and it will be coming soon!" Toys made by man are devils..."

"Don't talk too much!" Jack Aubrey glanced at the soldiers dissatisfied. He knew that in the fleet, there were many such rumors. The people on the Fortune were a group of cowards. of.

As an overseas fleet stationed in India, they have seen many merchant ships from the East. To be honest, those merchant ships are really inferior to the merchant ships of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Their large ships have nothing but a little more stability when sailing. Advantages, the speed is not fast, the cargo capacity is not large...

This is also the reason for the spread of the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy.

However, as the commander of the fleet, although Jack Aubrey also has this kind of thinking, he is somewhat vigilant. He does not want to leave regrets because of carelessness in his command career. After all, that ship is a general. The murderer who destroyed Port de las.

But he didn't care too much, after all, his friend had already said in the letter that although the firepower of that ship was fierce, the rate of fire was not fast, one shot per minute? And there are only twelve main guns? Where can the ferocious firepower go?

Jack Aubrey thought of this and looked at the other first-class battleship not far from his flagship. It was a war monster with 120 cannons on three decks. This is his pride, and it is also his capital to run across the Indian Ocean.

I just don't know what kind of surprises that said to be very powerful Eastern battleship will bring me? Jack Aubrey couldn't help touching the stubble of his chin, and smiled. Obviously, he didn't think that he, who had more than 70 battleships, would lose to an unknown Eastern battleship.

"God, what the hell is that?"

The exclamation of the orderly interrupted Jack Aubrey's thoughts. He hurriedly looked up, and saw a huge battleship slowly sailing out of the seaway... You can't see the mast of the sailboat on it, There was no deck in sight, not even an exposed deck.

What can be seen is the muzzle of the twelve black holes, and the hull composed of irregular polyhedrons...

The soldiers on the deck who were holding hooks and claws to prepare for the boarding battle were all dumbfounded, and the iron hook with the rope in their hands fell on the deck unknowingly, not to mention that it was more than ten meters higher than their own ship On the side of the ship, just where is this weird polyhedron going to be hooked? How can this Nima climb up?

"Fire—!" Jack Aubrey ordered loudly without caring much.

"fire!"

...

As the orders were delivered one by one, the flagship, the Goddess of Victory, fired first, and more than 60 artillery pieces on the three decks on one side fired at the same time, and the smoke filled the entire sea.

Seeing the flagship firing, the other battleships also ordered to fire, not to be outdone...

All of a sudden, more than seventy warships fired at the same time. The scene was extremely spectacular. Sparks shot out from the open muzzles of the wooden battleships' flanks, followed by gunpowder smoke rising into the sky. The fog that had dissipated on the entire sea showed signs of thickening again.

After two consecutive shelling salvos——

"...God..." Looking at the scene in front of him, Jack Aubrey couldn't help opening his mouth wide. He saw the dense shells hitting the giant ship with a whistling sound, but he didn't even The outer surface of the battleship was not pierced and fell into the sea one after another, without causing any damage to the giant ship...

"This, this is impossible...!" Unwillingly, Jack Aubrey picked up the telescope in his hand and looked over, but after careful observation, he was even more desperate... A shell weighing more than ten pounds hit the giant ship's On the surface, there is not even a single white spot...

At this moment, more than a dozen cannon barrels the size of an adult's arm slowly protruded from both sides of the giant ship, and in Jack Aubrey's desperate eyes, a tongue of flame more than one meter long spewed out——

"Da da da……"

The brisk cannon sounded, and the wooden battleships were easily smashed into two pieces like butter cut by a hot knife...

"Scatter... let's retreat..." Jack Aubrey gave the order to retreat in frustration. He didn't think his fleet could defeat this monster, this monster from the east, and one ship would be able to bury them all in the sea .

Before the messengers passed on the order, there were already battleships that were not seeing things well, and they set sail and were about to escape...

Jack Aubrey, who noticed this scene, didn't say anything. He knew that in this situation, running away was the wisest choice.

But something unexpected happened to him. At this moment, the main gun on that monster began to move and aim...

"..." As a naval commander, even if he dies in battle, he still wants to know the specific data of this battleship, so he stared at the main gun of the giant ship intently, wanting to see how the ship's main guns were fired only with the secondary guns. What kind of power is the main cannon for the behemoths that his own huge fleet has defeated...

"Sizzling—boom—"

First there was a strange electrical sound, followed by a loud bang. Jack Aubrey hurriedly looked in the direction where the giant ship's main guns were fired, and saw that a nearby second-tier battleship had been punched out with a hole as high as a person... The entire ship rushed into the air. The water began to tilt in an instant, and it was about to sink.

"It's amazing..." Jack Aubrey lamented the power of the giant ship's gunfire, and just as he was about to turn around and order to retreat, the sight he saw inadvertently made his pupils shrink, and he hurriedly picked up the binoculars again. Looking in the direction of the second-tier battleship that was about to sink, a third-tier battleship that was sailing at the edge of the battlefield and was about to escape also had a big hole in its hull and was slowly sinking. ...

"This—!" Jack Aubrey couldn't believe his eyes, the power of this cannon made him feel desperate...

This terrifying shell actually penetrated a battleship from the beginning to the end, and then sank another battleship... No, the original target of that giant beast was the third-tier battleship that was about to escape. God, who is he? fighting something...

Jack Aubrey is now nothing but deep despair... He can't see a glimmer of victory, and he can't even escape...

Because at this moment, the twelve main guns on the giant beast began to swing back and forth to aim. With the sound of gunfire, Jack Aubrey found that none of the fleeing warships had escaped, and they were all directly sunk... In particular, the rate of fire of the giant beast is not at all one shot per minute as mentioned in the letter, but more than twenty shots per minute...

Apparently, either Charlie had lied, or the monster had been teasing them, and hadn't used all its strength at all...

"Raise the white flag... we surrender!" After Jack Aubrey finished speaking with difficulty, his whole body seemed to be emptied, and he collapsed on the deck.

I'm afraid I'm the only commander in the history of naval battles of the Empire on which the sun never sets, who gave the order to surrender within fifteen minutes of the start of the battle, right? ...I may be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of naval warfare forever.

But he really can't watch this group of sailors who have followed him through life and death for many years die in vain... Can't fight, can't escape... What else can he do?

This is the reason why you will be beaten if you fall behind. They used to take advantage of such technological advantages to slap the eastern countries, and now they are slapped by others with the help of technological advantages.

Sooner or later...
