Chapter 1207 Battle Against Ironclad Ships

The Unsullied had just fixed the bronze door when a whistle suddenly sounded in the distance.

Everyone looked up and saw a burst of black clouds rising from the horizon in the distance.

Looking carefully, I realized that it was not a black cloud at all, but billowing black smoke.

Under the black clouds formed by black smoke is a huge steel fleet.

All the warships were painted black and lined up in a row, as dark as mountains.

"So many steel battleships? A fleet of the Imperial Royal Navy? What are they here for?"

Zhang Tuohai stared at the huge fleet.

He is no longer worried about seeing a fleet of this level.

With 12 flying warships as trump cards, he is really not afraid of such ironclad ships.

Whether it is precision guided bombs or rockets, they are the nemesis of this ironclad ship.

Even one thermobaric bomb can destroy an entire fleet.

Therefore, he was not worried about meeting the armored fleet, but was looking forward to it.

"Catch a few tongues and ask about the empire's recent trends. The commander of such a fleet should be able to contact the top brass of the empire, right?"

Zhang Tuohai analyzed.

Zhang Tuohai adjusted the direction of the White Bird and rushed towards the armored fleet.

…

As the Earl of the Empire and the Royal Navy Admiral, Vincent could have just stayed in the officers' club every day, drank tea and played cards.

What pulled him away from the warm fireplace was the handwriting of the Emperor.

"When the empire is at peace, why do we need to send a fleet to patrol? It's really unnecessary."

Vincent was dissatisfied with this assignment.

If it weren't for the emperor's order, who would be willing to leave the arms of the stripper and run to the sea to be beaten by wind and rain?

Moreover, Mr. Vincent, who was accustomed to sailing battleships, disliked the smell of soot from ironclad ships.

The thick soot reminded him of the bad air in the imperial capital.

What he wants to do most now is to find a port to stop, and then take a good bath to remove the smell from his body.

"What's ahead?" Vincent asked, raising his telescope.

"Mr. Earl, ahead is the Golden Oak Island." an adjutant said.

"Golden Oak Island? I remember there was a tall golden oak tree somewhere. Why can't I see it?" Vincent looked through the telescope for a long time, but he couldn't find the tall golden oak tree in his memory.

"Are we lost?" the adjutant guessed.

"No, I have been walking this road for decades, and I will never go wrong. I can swear on my life." The navigator said quickly.

"But why can't I see the golden oak tree?"

Vincent asked coldly.

"There is a ship there, how about we capture the captain and ask what's going on?"

The adjutant's eyes lit up and he pointed to a three-masted sailboat not far away.

"Well, send a ship over." Vincent nodded.

"Yes!" The adjutant took the order and was about to leave.

Suddenly, the navigator shouted: "Look, what is that?"

Several people looked in the direction of his finger, and saw twelve steel ships flying slowly towards them from the sky.

"What is that thing? How can there be a ship flying in the sky?"

the navigator asked in shock.

"It's a mirage. Isn't this a common sight at sea? What's the fuss about?"

The adjutant said nonchalantly.

"However, mirages have never appeared here."

the navigator argued.

"It's never happened before, will it never happen again?"

the adjutant retorted.

"Why is there no royal emblem on this ship?"

Vincent frowned as he looked at the ships.

The empire's newly built ironclads are very particular, and they will hang the emblem symbolizing the royal family on the bow of the ship.

This is the rule of the Imperial Navy.

However, these battleships do not have badges.

This is definitely not an Imperial ship.

"Could a certain force be able to build ironclads? It's impossible. No city-state in the empire can build enough steel plants. It's also impossible to coordinate 100 industrial departments and coordinate tens of thousands of experienced and technical construction workers. ”

"Whose warships do they belong to?"

"It seems that the empire really should patrol its borders. In recent years, the empire has been too peaceful, making these barbarians forget the majesty of the empire."

Vincent frowned and decided that when he arrived at Golden Oak Island, he would send someone to find out who had the technology to build an ironclad ship.

This is the foundation of the empire.

He will never allow this to happen!

At this moment, those flying battleships arrived above the armored ship, and then the bomb bay slowly opened, revealing the dark-painted bombs inside.

"Something doesn't seem right. This doesn't seem to be a mirage."

The more Vincent looked at it, the more real it felt. His back gradually became cold, and an unpleasant feeling arose in his heart.

"This can't be true, can it?"

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

The precision-guided bomb removed the whistle installed on the iron bomb. When it was dropped, there was no sharp whistling sound, only the sound of friction with the air.

The momentum is much lower than that of the iron bomb, but the accuracy has been qualitatively improved.

The first precision-guided bomb accurately hit the ironclad ship's open turret.

Boom!

Orange fireballs rose from the turret.

Then, the turret flew out, and a large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters was torn out on the deck.

Immediately afterwards, the second precision-guided bomb was thrown down the big hole and landed in the magazine under the turret.

Boom!

A mushroom cloud rose from the cabin, and a huge explosion directly destroyed the bow of the ship. A large amount of seawater poured into the hull, the stern of the ship was pressed up, and the hull began to capsize.

"The flagship is under attack!"

Only then did the people on the ship realize that the invincible armored fleet, the great Royal Navy, had actually been attacked.

Moreover, it was an attack from the sky.

During their two-year training, they started by cleaning the officers' shoes and learned all the skills on the ship, but they did not learn how to deal with the enemies in the sky.

Worst of all, the ship was now sinking and everyone was in a mess.

Some people want to return to their jobs, some want to escape, some want to jump into the sea, some want to rescue the lifeboat, and some want to save Vincent. Come and save him. With the power of driving, you can become famous once you return to land.

Everyone was running around like headless flies.

The low-level commander's whistle no longer worked, and the ship was in chaos.

The ironclads surrounding the flagship wanted to come to the rescue.

But they were also attacked by flying battleships.

After having the first flying battleship's attack example, the remaining flying battleships followed suit and launched attacks on those open turrets.

Groups of orange-red fireballs rose in the armored fleet.

Ironclad ships sank one after another into the icy ocean.
