382: Bombard the Rock Demon Fleet! Amazing Results!

The rock demon army is eighty miles away.

fifty miles.

Thirty miles.

Before, it was the griffin knights in the sky who reported the specific location of the rock demon army. Suddenly, the rock demon army came into view.

These 70,000 rock pirates plus 30,000 pirates are like a dark army breaking in from hell.

The line between the sea and the sky, which was originally empty, suddenly broke into a piece of blackness.

Then the blackness became more and more dense, and finally it was completely boundless.

Sauron rode at an altitude of several hundred meters, and clearly saw the 100,000-strong army of rock demons, and more than a thousand warships spread out on the sea, as if they really wanted to block out the sky and block out the sun.

Originally, Sauron's fleet of more than 200 ships was already incomparably spectacular, but at this moment, compared with the army of rock demons, it really seemed like nothing.

His hairs stood up instinctively, and his heart beat violently.

Sauron really felt very nervous, because he really didn't have any confidence in this battle.

If this battle is lost, it means destruction.

Not only his destruction, but also the whole Soxhlet was buried with him.

Resigned to fate, resigned to fate!

The rock demon stood on the bow of the flagship, looking up at Sauron in the sky.

Although Sauron was above and the Rock Demon was below, his eyes seemed to be looking down.

This battle was full of unknowns for Sauron.

But for the rock demon, there is no suspense.

The number of his army is four times that of Sauron, and in Sauron's 25,000 navy, except for the 10,000 rock pirates, the rest are like chickens and dogs.

In the eyes of the rock demon, his strength is not four times that of Sauron, but ten times that of Sauron.

However, the rock demon was still very shocked when he saw Sauron's 25,000 fleet lined up at sea to face it head-on.

Because he thought that Sauron would definitely play tricks and use tricks to lure the enemy into the subclass.

As everyone knows, it's not that Sauron doesn't want to play tricks. Moreover, it was the first time that large-scale artillery was used in naval battles. Both the gunners and sailors were very unfamiliar. Sauron did not dare to use any heresy, lest it would be self-defeating.

Moreover, he saw that the naval battles in the eighteenth century were all directly bombarded by artillery warships.

...

Gryphon riders flew in the air, constantly using semaphore to inform the exact distance of the Rock Demon fleet.

Ten thousand meters, eight thousand meters, five thousand meters, three thousand meters...

Getting closer, getting closer.

At this moment, the breath in the air seemed to freeze.

Pirates of the rock devil side, full of excitement and wildness.

And Sauron's navy is full of dignity and seriousness.

The Xudu gunner even sat down, closed his eyes, and began to make the final adjustments.

The people on the entire fleet seemed afraid to take a big breath, but because of their nervousness, their hearts were beating extremely fast, so they felt a little suffocated.

"Zhuang Zhixuan, if I was defeated in Tianshui City before, I could retreat to the sea. But after losing now, I will have no way to retreat. There is no place for me in the world." Sauron said.

Zhuang Zhixuan had never seen Sauron like this before, not only full of crisis, but also full of pessimism.

A few months ago, he was full of confidence in the face of the several armies sent by Zhili, and he seemed to be able to do a job with ease and with confidence in his chest.

But this time, it was completely unknown.

After thinking for a while, Zhuang Zhixuan comforted: "Even if you lose, it's better to die vigorously than to live in obscurity."

Sauron pinched between her legs obscenely and said, "You really know how to comfort people."

...

On the sea, the distance between the two fleets is two thousand meters!

Fifteen hundred meters!

As soon as this number came out, all the gunners of Sauron's fleet opened their eyes, the tendon at the back of their neck seemed to be raised suddenly, and their hair stood on end.

Fifteen hundred meters, already within range!

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo..."

The griffin warriors in the sky waved the blood-red flags desperately.

This has only one meaning, fire, fire, fire!

Then,

The distant battle horn of Sauron's fleet sounded.

"Aim the gun, aim!"

The commanders of the ships shouted sharply.

In fact, the artillery on all warships was ready and even aimed.

However, the gunner door still made the final adjustment, the final aim.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Salvo fire!"

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Nearly 200 artillery pieces blasted out violently.

The sky-shattering loud noise was like thunder from the sky.

The Rock Demon and his pirate army were taken aback. At this time, they were three miles away. How could Sauron's trebuchet fire at this distance?

Because Sauron had used heavy hammer lever trebuchets extensively on the battlefield before, the rock demon instinctively thought that Sauron's main weapon this time was still trebuchets.

The rock demon standing at the bow sneered, "Fireing fire from three miles away, is this trying to scare people to death? Or to embolden yourself?"

In this world, there is no weapon that can reach three miles away.

However, why is Sauron's weapon so loud that it can be heard three miles away. After the fight, there was a burst of smoke.

Looking at the posture, it is very bluffing!

Immediately, the rock demon laughed loudly and said, "Sauron's warship is amazing. Not only can it fart, it's also so loud, and the farts it emits smoke."

The rock bandits on the battleship laughed loudly, and also mocked Sauron.

But then, the rock demon and the pirates stopped laughing.

Because the projectile fired from Sauron's warship was as fast as black lightning, drawing an arc in the air, getting closer and closer.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Then, a terrible scene appeared.

Unexpectedly, there were countless iron balls, whistling and flying over the head with a scorching aura.

The speed is so fast? The momentum is so amazing?

If hit by this iron ball, I'm afraid more than a dozen people will be smashed to pieces.

The rock demon felt his scalp go numb, what secret weapon does Sauron have?

Can hit three miles away? Terrible three miles!

Moreover, looking at the posture, it is far more than three miles away!

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Nearly two hundred red-hot iron balls whizzed past the rock demon fleet.

At a distance of 1,500 meters, after entering a mature and stable shelling state, the hit rate can reach about 78%.

But if you want to enter this mature and stable shelling state, you need at least ten rounds of warm-up and adjustment.

However... that was attacking a target ship.

But at this time, Sauron's fleet was facing more than a thousand warships, densely packed and innumerable.

So, even though it was the first shot, it turned out to be a huge gain.

...

On a pirate warship of the rock demon camp.

At this time, more than a hundred pirates were standing densely on the deck. They suddenly heard a piercing whistling sound, and then saw a red-hot iron ball getting closer and closer.

"puff……"

The iron ball weighing more than twenty kilograms flew fiercely into the crowd of pirates.

moment……

A bloody road was plowed, and wherever it passed, the bones were completely flying, and the body was smashed to pieces.

No screams, no exclamations, not even pain.

Because after being penetrated, the whole body was directly cut off in the middle, and he died in an instant and couldn't die anymore.

"boom!"

Immediately after another loud noise, the iron bullet slammed into a big hole in the thick deck, penetrated into the inner cabin, smashed the inside to pieces, and smashed through three or four floors before stopping the momentum.

The surviving pirates on the deck stayed for quite a while.

What kind of weapon is this?

So scary, so sharp?

Then, they felt that there was something weird about their faces, and they couldn't help but reach out to touch them, and they found that their faces were covered with blood and pieces of flesh.

Look at the deck again!

A piece of blood and flesh, about a dozen corpses?

Each one was incomplete, broken in at least two pieces.

The only corpse was relatively complete, because the man was very powerful and majestic, a huge hole was smashed in the chest, about a foot in diameter, and all the internal organs were gone.

This is total hell!

"Uh, uh, uh..." The first pirate began to vomit.

Then, the other pirates vomited too.

This group of pirates killed people like hemp, and they have seen all kinds of scenes, but at this time they vomited alive!

...

"Bang bang bang..."

Sauron was riding a griffin floating in the sky and could see clearly. The hit rate in the first round was probably close to 10%.

A total of nineteen iron bullets hit the rock demon's warship.

The lucky ones flew directly over the deck, took the lives of a dozen people, and smashed through the cabins on the deck.

And those who were unlucky, directly hit the hull below the drainage line, smashed a huge hole, and countless seawater poured in wildly.

The first round of shelling damaged nearly twenty warships and took hundreds of pirates' lives.

Sauron was completely overjoyed, and could hardly believe the results in front of him!

It was much better than he imagined!

In his most pessimistic estimate, the hit rate of the first round of shelling may be one percent, or even zero eggs.

Because this is an actual battle after all, and the opponent's ships are constantly in motion.

Unexpectedly, the result of the battle turned out to be so good.

Then, Sauron deeply felt that he was really dogmatic.

In his mind, in the naval battles of the eighteenth century, the warships of the two sides were bombarded, and it took a few test shots to hit the target.

Moreover, it is often a few days and nights, hundreds of artillery shells are fired at each other.

All he could think about was the pathetic hit ratios in eighteenth-century naval warfare, and not knowing how many shots it took to sink a ship.

However, the naval battles in the eighteenth century on Earth were one-on-one confrontation, and a single target needed to be hit.

But at this time, the battleships of the Rock Demon were densely packed, covering the sky and the sun, and even if it was luck, they could still hit many shots.

Moreover, the warships of the eighteenth century did not know how many waterproof compartments there were, and the interior of the ship was relatively well protected by two or three decks. Moreover, the tonnage of each battleship is more than one or two thousand tons, so many shells need to be hit to sink.

However, at this time, most of the warships of the rock demons have a displacement of several hundred tons. Because there is no artillery, the protection strength of the warship is not high. Therefore, even being hit by a single shell on the vital point of the hull is fatal.

...

The Rock Demon was also completely taken aback by this first round of artillery strikes, although he didn't know the casualties yet. But to be able to hit it three miles away, this momentum is really terrifying.

The key is that Sauron can hit him, but he can't hit Sauron, which is too aggrieved.

At this time, the mainstream of the naval battle was still two or three hundred meters away from the enemy ship, and the bows and crossbows of the two sides fired at each other suddenly. After getting close, the pirates brandished their scimitars and jumped directly onto the enemy ship to fight.

So at this time, the bravery of the pirates is particularly important.

Rock bandits are the best sailors in the world. Not only are they not afraid of death, they even actively chase death.

But now, Sauron can hit them from three miles away, which is terrible.

Although the hit rate is very low, people are always full of awe for the unknown, and the Rock Demon is no exception.

He must change the situation of the battle, pull the battle to the way he is best at, get close to the opponent, and then jump off the ship to fight.

At that time, with four times the military strength and the rock bandits who are not afraid of death, he can easily tear Sauron's fleet apart!

"Closer, closer, closer..."

The rock demon roared and ordered!

The herald horn sounded, and dozens of pirates standing on the mast waved their flags desperately!

The rock demon has only one thought in his mind at this time, once I get close, you, Sauron, will be dead!

In the hunting south wind, the rock demon fleet headed south at full speed.

The distance of 1,500 meters is about five minutes.

And the interval between firing each round of Sauron's artillery takes more than seven minutes.

Sauron's fleet also retreated southward at full speed without Sauron's order, keeping a certain distance from the rock demon fleet.

So, the next two fleets continued to sail south.

However, the Rock Pirate fleet is known for its briskness, faster than Sauron's fleet.

Eight minutes later, the artillery of Sauron's fleet completed the second round of reloading.

At this time, the distance between the fleets of the two sides has been shortened to more than 1,300 meters.

"Fire, fire, fire!"

Following an order, Sauron's fleet fired for the second time.

There was another earth-shattering bang, and hundreds of projectiles flew across a distance of more than a thousand meters like black lightning, roaring and smashing towards the rock demon fleet.

Sauron could see clearly from the air that nearly twenty live ammunition still hit.

Although the hit rate is not high, once it hits, it is destined to be a sea of ​​blood, crying ghosts and howling wolves.

In this way, both fleets sailed south with full sail.

Every eight minutes or so, Sauron's fleet began a new round of shelling.

And every eight minutes, the Rock Demon's fleet approached more than a hundred meters.

One of the two fleets ran desperately, and the other chased desperately.

"Fire, fire, fire!"

"Boom boom boom boom..."

...

Nearly an hour later!

Sauron's fleet made twelve bombardments.

More than a hundred warships of the Rock Demon were fully damaged and thousands of pirates were killed.

Among them, eight warships were hit critically, and the sea water kept pouring in, so they had to abandon the ship.

The results, no doubt, seem enormous.

And the rock demon was almost going crazy, he was completely passive and could only watch Sauron's bombardment after another.

Each time hundreds of lives were taken away.

Although the casualties and losses were actually not large, the damage to morale was too great.

Finally, under his full-speed pursuit, he was only about 500 meters away from Sauron's fleet, and the opponent's warship was already clearly visible.

At a distance of 500 meters, it will take about half an hour to catch up, and it will have to withstand five or six times of Sauron's shelling.

"You wait for Sauron, and when I catch up, I will kill you!" the rock demon said in pain.

At this time, Sauron gave an order!

Change chain ammo!

Chain bullets are two projectiles connected together with an iron chain and then fired.

This is totally a ship killer, a sail killer, a mast killer!

And at a distance of four to five hundred meters, the hit rate of chain bombs will far exceed that of solid iron bullets.

Therefore, Sauron's chain bomb attack this time is enough to deal a fatal blow to the Rock Demon!

"Fire, fire, fire!"

With an order, the dense artillery sounded again.

Then, nearly 200 rounds of chain bullets flew out waving.

The two pinballs are connected by iron chains, and under the action of centripetal force, they spin and fly towards the rock demon fleet.

In the air, there were bursts of howling ghosts and howling wolves!

Chain bombs, the hell-killing god of sailing warships!

Sauron opened his eyes wide, full of infinite anticipation for the result of the battle!

Note: The first update is here, I slept for four hours last night, and have been outside today. After returning to the hotel at night, I was really sleepy to the extreme. I wish I could use a matchstick to hold my eyelids to type. Please support me, thank you all! (To be continued.)
