Chapter 538 The Second Battlefield Outside the Encirclement
Gradually, Chinan's warships and the Karan family's warships confronted each other, with a large patchwork of ordinary warships in the middle. It was as if these battleships had become shields between the two sides.
The two sides continued to attack through these warships, shooting at each other from a distance. At least half of the plant battleship's cannonballs landed on these ordinary battleships, hindering their progress.
But these ordinary battleships moved slowly like snails, with no intention of confronting those plant battleships. After all, in their minds, those plant battleships are ghost ships. Although a few people were still rational and figured it out, they didn't want to die and didn't say it out loud, so they just moved slowly.
"What a bunch of losers. Sure enough, they can't be counted on." Seeing this scene, Puji snorted and stopped paying attention. Anyway, their targets are Chi Nan's warships.
As long as they are not escaping these ships here, they will not pay attention to them. Occasionally, there would be one or two ships that wanted to escape, and they would blow them up when they saw them, and they would ignore the others at all.
This kind of scene is very rare. The outer circle of people who didn't know what happened surrounded the ship, and the people on top looked at each other, not knowing what they meant. Why can't people understand this kind of naval battle.
However, because the artillery fire from both sides was fierce, they were also very happy to see it. This was not the first time they had seen this kind of naval battle in which cannons attacked each other, but it was the first time it had been fought on such a large scale.
After all, it was only the three major families that could stop so many ships with cannonballs. While the three major families were peaceful on the surface, it was impossible for them to fight each other to this extent.
While they were fighting, the ships outside the encirclement also noticed the movement here.
On a ship, the captain suddenly received news from the airship. "Haha, there's already a fight over there. It seems like these idiots really underestimate our navy in Hongshaling. Brothers, get ready and start fighting."
Those ships that had not had time to return to the port before had no choice but to comply with the order and stay outside temporarily because the port island was surrounded. I have been holding back my anger for a long time, and now I can finally let it out.
And the object of venting is not the ships of the coalition forces. In order to deal with themselves and others, they formed a large fleet outside. There are a total of 2,000 warships on our side, and there are even more on the opposite side, more than 5,000.
However, among the more than 5,000 ships, only a dozen are warships of the Karan family, and the others are ships of nearby pirates. All in all, it was a mess. The real elites went to attack the port island. After all, that's where the real oil and water is, and there won't be much benefit from winning here.
The people on the plant battleship received the order, and the other side also noticed the beginning of the battle.
"Haha, the fight has started. Kill them. Their battleship will be ours." Although the other side's battleships are more and bigger, they are not afraid at all, because they think they will be more powerful and have the strength in numbers.
But this is not the port, it is only a small place where the fleet cannot be deployed. The fleet here is spread out in a formal manner, forming a real naval battle formation.
It looks very dense, but in fact there is a certain distance between ships.
Then, the sound of cannons sounded, and pieces of cannonballs flew out. Many people have seen these cannons before, but they have never imagined what it would be like to have more than two thousand warships firing at the same time.
The overwhelming shells were like rain, and there was no way to escape. The ship at the front was instantly turned into pieces amid the explosion. Then, many shells fell into the water without erupting.
But immediately after, more shells flew in, and continuous explosions caused by the explosion continued. The cannonballs in the water have turned into things like mines. Sometimes, ships from behind rushed over and hit too many shells. After enough pressure is generated, the shells that did not explode will explode in succession.
After a ship was blasted by such a mine, no fragments could be seen.
With a "bang", a wooden board was blown away, and a soldier flew out. "Damn it, be careful. There is a cannon on the other side, a kind of water cannon. Come on, everyone, get into the command cabin."
The water cannons on the opposite side also showed their power. There were not many of them, but after all, these water cannons were a long-range deterrent. Even though they knew that they would basically not be hit, the crew members were still very vigilant.
Because of these water cannons, the soldiers on the plant battleship were actually quieted down.
However, the firing of these water cannons also attracted the attention of a large number of plant warships. Then, a wave of shells basically hit them. The most unlucky one was the one at the front. Hundreds of shells fell on the battleship almost at the same time. The battleship burst into bright light, and the magic circle was used to the extreme.
The next moment, the magic circle suddenly shattered in the explosion. Although the shells had been cleared, the battleship would not move.
The Karan family's special battleship is supported by magical power. With the power of magic, it can continuously absorb sea water, and there are endless cannonballs to use.
But if the magic energy is exhausted, then you can only be slaughtered. At this time, the ship was not exhausted of magic energy, but the attack was too strong in an instant, resulting in the explosion of the magic furnace and the loss of magic power.
The people on the ship were in complete chaos. Without magic power, their ships could not move at all.
"Oh my God, jump off the ship quickly." A soldier shouted loudly and then jumped down. As soon as the soldier entered the water, countless shells hit again, and the ship was instantly broken into pieces, leaving no residue.
Facing this crazy artillery fire, they are really not their opponents if they have fewer numbers.
Those pirates who have never seen such a scene were completely confused at this time. The firepower here is far from comparable to that of the main battlefield, and it has completely become a one-sided performance of the Hongshaling Navy.
If they were not too many people, they would have collapsed in the face of such an attack. Some pirates wanted to escape, and some pirates were completely crazy. Some people still approached despite this kind of artillery fire.
It was precisely because of the existence of these guys that the army did not completely collapse, and there were still many people watching around, hoping for a miracle. Yes, it was a miracle.
