Chapter 0748: Ships, Nets and Shells, Approaching
While Xiao Yi was chatting with a group of pets, Alban and others' boat sailed towards the shore.
Jiang Yuntian immediately ordered: "All armored warships are on standby and prepare to attack the enemy!"
"yes!"
The six armored warships on the shore immediately started moving, and after traveling a certain distance, they stopped.
As Albon and the others approached, Xiao Yi suddenly realized something was wrong. There seemed to be a particularly abrupt black shadow among their many ships!
"Something's wrong!" Xiao Yi stood up and said, picking up the telescope on the side and looking at the black figure.
At night, the light was not very good. Through the hazy moonlight, Xiao Yi finally saw what it was!
a ship!
A huge ship!
"Ji Ship (S Class): A top-notch gun ship with a length of more than 200 meters and equipped with hundreds of cannons. It is based on the traditional Fu Ship of the Xia Kingdom and absorbs the advantages of Western firepower allocation technology. It has great combat power!"
"The other party also has an S-class ship, so be careful!" Xiao Yi immediately reminded.
Jiang Yuntian was stunned for a moment and asked: "How many ships are there?"
"There seems to be only one, surrounded by those ships. It is quite powerful. You must deal with it carefully!" Xiao Yi reminded.
"Yes!" Jiang Yuntian responded.
At the extreme distance that each other's artillery could attack, the alliance teams of nine countries stopped.
They got a loudspeaker from nowhere and shouted at Xiao Yi.
"Yi Ranpin, today we have gathered the nine best-developed alliances from nine countries. Do you think you can stop it with one alliance?" Alban said loudly, "I give you a suggestion, surrender quickly, so that you The islands were also spared the suffering of war.”
Xiao Yi smiled and shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Do you really think this is the world before? Is it still a hundred years ago? I alone cannot represent the Xia State, but I am a Xia State person. To you invaders, I I will definitely fight to the end!”
Xiao Yi didn't use a loudspeaker, but it reached Albon's ears.
"It seems that you haven't understood your situation yet, so let's wake you up!" Albon shouted, "Attack with all your strength!"
"yes!"
All the ships began to approach the island, and in addition to the six armored warships, there were nearly fifty large sailing ships on the island, lying across the sea.
Seeing that the enemy had entered the range of the artillery, Jiang Yuntian immediately shouted: "Attack!"
Boom boom boom!
The cannonballs flew towards the approaching ships, and except for those ships that were fast enough, it was difficult for the other ships to completely avoid the cannonballs.
The hull was instantly blown to pieces, and they immediately started repairing the hull on the island monument!
With the island monument, the battle is different, and some attacks are almost ineffective!
For example, in ancient water battles, some people familiar with water properties would be arranged to dive into the water and sink the opponent's ship.
But with the island monument, this is completely unfeasible, because as long as you damage the ship, the island monument will remind you, and the position you drilled can be found on the ship. The hole you worked so hard to drill can be repaired with just one click on the island monument. It's completely fixed!
So Jiang Yuntian has never considered this tactic at all!
Seeing that Jiang Yuntian's side was already shelling, Alban shouted loudly: "Shoot out the fishing net to intercept the opponent's shells!"
Following his order, many archers immediately appeared on the ships of the nine-nation alliance.
Cannonballs were fired again, and the archers formed a group of four and started shooting at the sky with their strong bows.
And the arrows of these archers are all connected to a fishing net!
As they fired, the entire fishing net flew directly into the sky, and the fishing net unfolded to completely cover the entire warship!
boom!
The shell hit the fishing net and exploded immediately.
"It's still possible to do this?" Jiang Yuntian was a little surprised, "But if this happens, his shooting will also be affected!"
But Albon didn't seem to care that his shooting was affected at all, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, keep approaching, use fishing nets to intercept the opponent's shells!"
"yes!"
Albon's side did not attack at all and drove straight towards Xiao Yi!
"They want to fight us hand-to-hand!" Jiang Yuntian immediately understood the other party's intention, "Then I'll satisfy you! Stop the shelling!"
In this way, Xiao Yi can also save some ammunition!
"Be prepared with bows and arrows, arrow carts, repeating crossbows, etc., and flintlock pistols and muskets on standby at any time!" Jiang Yuntian ordered.
"yes!"
Seeing that Jiang Yuntian's side had stopped shelling, Alban sneered: "Yi Ranpin is so arrogant that he let us get closer! Originally there was only a 60% chance of capturing your alliance, but now it's a 90% chance!"
Seeing that the opponent had entered the range of the cold weapon, Jiang Yuntian immediately said: "Let's release the rocket, I want to see if their fishing net can stop the arrow!"
"yes!"
Whoosh whoosh!
The rocket that had been prepared was shot out!
"Shield!" Alban shouted. The gaps in the fishing nets they prepared were relatively large, and they would definitely not be able to stop these slender arrows, which were mainly aimed at catapults and artillery shells.
As for arrows, they can be perfectly blocked by a shield with a layer of iron!
Ding ding ding!
The sound continued, some arrows were blocked and fell on the deck, and some arrows actually penetrated into the shield!
Seeing this scene, Alban thought to himself: "This Yi Ranpin is indeed extraordinary. His arrows are definitely not ordinary arrows. The penetrating power is too strong!"
Although the arrows were blocked, the gunpowder on the arrows began to burn.
Just in case, Albon ordered: "Everyone wear a mask!"
"yes!"
Although poisonous smoke balls cannot hit their ship, there is no guarantee that there is something in these rockets. If you wear their special masks, you don’t have to worry about poisonous smoke!
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, but Jiang Yuntian discovered that their huge S-class warship never came to the front, but followed closely behind the large force.
After slightly calculating the distance, Jiang Yuntian immediately shouted: "All ships, retreat immediately and get closer to the shore!"
Jiang Yuntian's ship was far away from the shore. At this time, the enemy's S-class warships were following closely behind the large force.
This means that these large forces can be supported by the S-class warships at any time, but Jiang Yuntian and his ships have no other support.
The total number of ships on the other side is greater than Jiang Yuntian's.
And with the order to retreat, Jiang Yuntian and the others will be able to receive artillery support from the shore!
After hearing Jiang Yuntian's order, all the ships immediately moved back.
The movements were uniform and without any hesitation.
"What a pity!" Albon sighed, it was almost!
If Jiang Yuntian reacts slowly for a while, Alban and the others can use the heavy firepower of the ships to keep at least two of Xiao Yi's iron ships behind!
