"Can the instance dungeon be activated?" Wei Chenghong asked. He had a deep impression of the Yellow Sea Battle Instance Dungeon.
"Of course, it's refreshing…
1. Battle of Ma Hai and Jiang
Sink all the French warships. Reward: 5000 gold coins, 50,000 experience, 5,000,000 silver coins.
[Ship: Warrior class ironclad ship]
[Second: Trafalgar Sea Battle Mission Reward: 3000 Gold Coins, 30,000 EXP, 3,000,000 Silver Coins]
Killed Country Y's Navy General Horacio Nelson
[Sailboat: First-class Sailboat]
The first one might not be clear to everyone, but if it was the Mawei Sea Battle, everyone would know that the Fujian Navy was completely sunk because of the incompetence of the commander.
The second happened during the Napoleonic Wars, where both sides gambled on the fate of the country.
Wei Chenghong gave up on the first mission. He didn't want to play with stupid teammates. This was equivalent to him challenging the entire Far East Fleet of Country F alone. That wasn't a mission, it was suicide.
The second mission seemed much simpler. After all, they didn't need to destroy the entire Royal Navy of Country Y. They only needed to kill Nelson. Wei Chenghong remembered that Nelson was killed by a French sniper at the end of the battle.
"The second mission then." Wei Chenghong decided to choose the second option.
"Roger that. This is a solo mission. You can bring someone to help you. You have five minutes to prepare.”The system replied. There was no way to use a modern warship this time. Otherwise, as long as there were enough artillery shells, even a destroyer could kill both sides participating in the naval battle. The range of modern warships was too far. One had to know that back then, they still used front cannons, and their range was only more than 1,000 meters. In other words, it was less than two kilometers.
Single mission? After thinking for a moment, Wei Chenghong felt that it was better to bring Lin Lei along. A professional combatant was not something an ordinary person like him could compare to.
"Looks like I'll have to leave first. Lin Lei, you'll have to come with me this time.”Wei Chenghong looked at Lin Lei, who rarely spoke.
" Yes," Lin Lei saluted.
Wei Chenghong put down the empty bottle and looked at Tatsumi before nodding at her.
"Are you ready?" The phone's system beeped.
"Alright, Lin Lei has been selected.”
"Roger that. Teleportation in progress."
Just like last time, the feeling of continuous descent was as if he was about to be swallowed by something.
However, the time was very short. When he came back to his senses, he had already appeared on the deck of a sailing battleship. This was completely different from modern warships. It had huge white sails and the layout was completely different from modern warships. From the deck, the sea was almost three stories away.
In fact, it was indeed three-story. The cannons were arranged on the left and right sides of the ship. There were 108 front cannons, which was the same as Nelson's flagship, Victory. It was more like another Victory.
In this era, naval battles were very spectacular. Usually, they would line up neatly to fight with the other party. The party that took the lead would obtain a huge advantage.
Victory, first class sail battle formation
[Water displacement: 3556 tons]
[Carrying capacity: 2176.4 tons]
[Total length: 69.3 meters]
[Ship width: 15.8 meters]
Draught: 8.8 meters
[Main mast height: 62.5 meters]
Foremast height:55.4 m
Mizzenmast height:46.3 m
Maximum speed: 9 knots
Crew: 850.
Compared to modern battleships, such a warship could easily have a displacement of tens of thousands of tons. It could not compare at all. However, in this era, it was already a giant at sea. Even the Great England did not have many such warships.
There were already many sailors sailing on the deck, and the captain was Wei Chenghong himself. In other words, he had to personally command this battle.
At this moment, the sound of concentrated artillery fire could be heard from the distant sea. The Royal Fleet of Country Y formed two columns and headed straight for the French fleet that had fallen into chaos because of the orders of the French commander, Vilnav.
Just like Zhang Peilun, the commander of the Fujian Navy, Vilnav, was also an idiot. He didn't have the courage to win.
In order to make it easier for the fleet to retreat into the port of Cadiz when the battle was unfavorable, he ordered the fleet to make a 180-degree turn so that the port of Cadiz was in the downwind position of the fleet. This change not only seriously affected morale, but also caused the formation of the joint fleet to fall into chaos.
Wei Chenghong's ship was less than three nautical miles away from the location of the decisive battle. He took out his phone and saw the dense ships of both sides. On one of the warships, there was a red dot constantly flashing. It should be the flagship of the Royal Fleet," Victory."
At this moment, the Victory had already cut into the French fleet and was exchanging gunfire with the flagship of the Franco-Spanish coalition, the Busantor.
"Switch to Grape Bullet and load it quickly.”On the deck of the Victorious, Narson was only on the deck, letting the reloading hand load the grape bullets (similar to the shape of the shotgun bullets nowadays, when fired, they looked like a bunch of grapes).
The Busantor had just finished loading the solid shells when the 48 cannons on the starboard side fired at once. From a distance of more than 100 meters, the shells almost did not miss and all smashed into the port side of the Victory. Fortunately, the Victory was sturdy enough. Many shells could not break the hull of the ship, and the round shells fell directly into the sea.
Why did he say a hundred-year-old navy? Before the steam engine appeared, all warships were made of wood. At most, the bottom of the ship was covered with a layer of copper skin.
At that time, Country Y's naval warships were all made of oak, especially the Victory.
The skeleton of the Victorious was made of a hundred years old top-quality teak. The hull of the ship had used up 2500 top-quality oak trees.
Warships built in this way had a longer lifespan than modern warships. They didn't need to burn coal or oil, but their speed was too slow. After the appearance of the steam-powered paddle wheel warships, they quickly declined.
This kind of teak, which only grew on the plains at an altitude of 700 - 800 meters, was the most precious ship keels at that time. The growth cycle was at least 60 years, and it had to grow to 45 meters before it could be used as the keels of battleships. The saying of a hundred-year-old navy was thus spread.
The navy of the British had been around for hundreds of years. They had planted large areas of high-quality oak and teak on their island. In terms of the quality of their warships, no fleet in the world could compare to them.
The volley from the flagship of the French army only caused a little damage to the Victory. There were only a dozen casualties and two cannons were destroyed.
At that time, the order was passed down by word of mouth. The author had seen the movie about the Tsima Sea Battle.
On the deck of the staff officer, Higashimoto Heihachiro first watched the test firing of the sub-cannon. The first wave of test firing was deviated by more than 300 meters. The staff officer immediately calculated the wind speed and trajectory.
The sailors who passed on the message would pass the trajectory correction data calculated by the staff officer on the deck to an officer in the cabin who was responsible for directing the shooting of the secondary cannon. He would raise a drawing board with the adjustment data written on it. The gunners of each cannon group would quickly adjust the muzzle to ensure that the trajectory could hit the enemy warship.
This was also the reason why uneducated people could not become navies. Could an illiterate person calculate the trajectory of a bullet and aim accurately? One had to know that warships could move. Not only could they move, but the enemy's warships could also move. If one's attack was not accurate, one would die. If one's attack was accurate, the enemy would die.
