Lieutenant Colonel Pierre brought the remaining ten Ocket Army ships to the periphery of Jilong Port.
This fleet was exceptionally powerful.
The 6000-ton Baya, the 4600-ton Lagarisonia, the Nieli, Fort Reno, Soni, and Amirin, four 2,000-ton cruise ships, as well as several thousand-ton cannon ships and various small boats.
"Master! They had already entered the firing range! Fight?“
Inform the artillery to fire at the best range.“
Liu Chuan wasn't frightened by the sudden formation. Instead, he calmly ordered. He believed that the cannoneers wouldn't act rashly. They just needed to be reminded again.
Although he could hit it now, the accuracy and the power of the explosion would not be ideal. He needed to get closer.
"Go down and watch the position. Don't relax!“
When Zhang Shiqian brought back the information that the artillery was OK, Liu Chuan arranged for him to guard the beach.
He had arranged a three-dimensional fire net. He had set up defenses at different angles on the mountainside, the top of the mountain, and the beach. It tested the ability of the supreme commander and the adaptability of the regiment commanders and battalion commanders.
The Occitan fleet moved forward quickly. Just as they were about to enter Jilong Bay, they dispersed their formation and raised their cannons.
The commander of the artillery battalion, Zhong Jin, decisively ordered to fire.
With a loud boom, dozens of cannonballs whistled through the air, and the birds on the surface of the sea instantly disappeared. Recently, Gu Fang had been continuously testing cannons, and they were already used to it, so they were much more relaxed.
The calm surface of the sea suddenly erupted with water pillars that shot up into the sky. The waves that were stirred up continuously struck the Ocket Army's warships. The warships shook non-stop, and the sailors were drenched from the beating.
However, it was normal that the first test shot did not hit.
Ocket's fleet was clearly well-trained and had experienced such situations often. They calmly turned their ships around and did not panic when they were ambushed. They quickly adjusted their positions and lined up in a row, aiming their ships at Jilong Port to maximize their firepower.
After testing the distance between the two sides, Pierre immediately ordered the fleet to retreat to a safe area, and then sent out reconnaissance boats to find out the deployment of the enemy's forces.
"Motherf * cker! These Occitans are really cunning. Luckily, I didn't use the new cannonballs at the beginning!“
However, it was difficult for the cannoneers. The infantry cannons had been changed to coastal defense cannons, and the angle, sailing, and wind waves had to be calculated again. He even changed the new cannonballs that he had already practiced. It would be a miracle if he could hit them accurately.
"Kill those mosquitoes! If you can't kill them, you're not allowed to eat!“
Zhong Jin cursed loudly. Clearly, he was furious.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The 120mm cannon and 180mm cannon were all fired, and the pitiful boat was destroyed.
" The Lagarisonia against those two cannon ships!“
"The Baja and the cruiser suppress the coastal defense cannons! Other ships, cover the infantrymen!“
Pierre was a little confused about the accuracy of the coastal defense artillery, so he decisively ordered the landing. He did not want to delay too long and let the enemy reinforcements arrive.
Although the Orcutt Navy had a large number of cannons, due to the distance and height, there were not many cannons that could reach the mountaintop and mountainside. It could be said that both sides had a fifty-fifty chance.
"Damned Ancient Nation people! Why were their cannonballs so powerful?“
Pierre's heart ached when he saw the 300-ton gunboat being blown away.
Rocks shattered and waves flew. Suddenly, the Orckite army realized that the cannonballs on the opposite side had become more accurate. The power of the cannonballs had also become stronger. They were no longer the traditional solid bullets of the Qing army, but rather, they were either explosive bullets or armor-piercing bullets.
The so-called solid shells were shells that were filled with coal and sand. They would only leave a pit or a hole on the ship.
Its power was extremely poor!
Most of the sound elementalists used this kind of artillery shell in the naval battles of ancient countries. There were only a few dozen of them. The Jin army on the other side added bitter and sour artillery shells and even armor-piercing shells.
The Flowery Bomb was easy to understand. Not only was it no longer black gunpowder in the traditional sense, but it also added steel balls and so on. Once it exploded, the lethality was huge.
The armor-piercing bullets were shells that were added with precious metal tungsten, which had extremely strong penetrating power.
The ancient country was officially the largest tungsten producer. Wang Guangxu had also exchanged for the refining technology immediately after the victory in the war against North Korea. Although the purity of the refined tungsten was not too high, it was still 97.
It was just that there were not many of them at the moment.
Under the cover of the cannons, the 8,000 Orcutes began their disembarkation.
