Chapter 163 Someone Actually Dared to Attack Us?

Sasha took out a piece of dried meat from somewhere and took a bite.

Then she tilted her head and looked at the fleet coming from afar, wondering: "What are they trying to do?"

Gao Qiang did not respond.

He just frowned and looked in the direction of the fleet.

They were closer to the shore, and the fastest ship was already close to the beach, and it seemed that there was no intention to slow down.

Are they trying to hit them directly?

Until the next moment, Gao Qiang saw the sailor of that ship pointed a flintlock at him.

"Just cripple them, don't kill them!"

"We still need someone to lead the way for us."

Listening to the captain's words, the sailors nodded one by one.

The range of the flintlock is actually very short.

If they want to attack Gao Qiang and others, first of all, they can't stand on the boat, they must get off the boat to close the distance before they can do it.

The sailors descended from the ropes of the ship to the beach one by one. Judging from their skilled movements, they obviously did this kind of thing a lot in the past.

But I don't know if it's because of poor maintenance and damp bullets.

In the first round of flintlock attacks, no bullets hit Gao Qiang and others. No one knew where they went.

"Sure enough, someone dared to invade us."

It wasn't until the first bullet hit the beach in front of everyone.

Bai Hexiu dared to believe his eyes.

Someone really didn't want to live well.

Jiu Luo didn't say anything, but turned his back to look at the back of the island.

Behind the beach was an oasis. If you only look at it from here, you can't see anything special in the oasis.

It was just as Jiu Luo thought.

Many captains and sailors in the fleet, including the commander, did not realize what was hidden on the island.

But...

Jiu Luo smiled without any panic.

The sound of the flintlock was very loud. After this round of shooting, the next reload should take about three minutes.

This time is enough!

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, a large amount of fire broke out from the oasis, catching the ships on the sea that had not yet landed by surprise.

Shouts came from the ships one after another.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Where are the enemies?!"

The sailors on the ship did not notice where the shells were flying from, and they were almost running around like headless flies.

And then, the sailors who had landed on the beach were not doing well.

Just as they were loading their flintlocks.

A large number of shells had already fallen like raindrops.

The attack frequency of mortars was obviously much higher than that of positional guns.

As the explosions sounded, the beach, which was just peaceful, was instantly stained with blood.

One sailor after another fell in a pool of blood, holding his broken limbs.

There were even unlucky ones who were hit by the mortars and torn into pieces on the spot.

Thousands of positional guns and mortars covering the island have successfully turned the island into a military fortress.

Those artillery pieces were covered with a lot of camouflage.

From the outside, no arrangement on the island could be seen at all.

And Jiuluo continued to look towards the center of the island.

In the center of the island is a steep highland.

And the four 800mm cannons in the territory are all placed there.

If Jiuluo remembered correctly.

The weight of a single shell of the 800mm cannon reached a terrifying 7,000 kilograms, which is almost enough to crush any obstacle in front of it.

And the range also reached a terrifying 40 nautical miles.

This cannon, like the super battleship, has almost reached the extreme of being bigger, heavier, and stronger.

In other words, this cannon can crush all the "monsters" in sight, and those "monsters" have no means to hurt it.

Boom!

A loud noise like thunder.

The sailors who landed on the beach didn't know what happened, and they heard a series of miserable wails behind them.

"The main ship, the main ship sank!"

What!

The sailors looked back with unbelievable eyes.

How long have they approached the island? Given the sturdiness and firepower of the main ship, how could it sink?

But the facts slapped everyone in the face.

The main ship with more than 40 cannons was completely blown apart in the middle, forming an extremely huge hole.

The scattered wood chips even affected the route of other warships in the fleet.

Crack——

There was only a sound of shattering.

The main ship, which was already overwhelmed, collapsed and sank to the bottom of the sea.

There was not even a chance to fire a cannonball.

A captain looked at this scene in disbelief.

The main ship was still so far away from the island.

What kind of artillery could sink their main ship with just one shot at such a distance?

However, at this moment.

There was no chance for the fleet to breathe.

Under the eyes of countless sailors.

A giant warship made entirely of steel, far larger than anyone could imagine, came from the other side of the island.

How could it be, how could it be an ironclad ship? !

They had only seen this level of warship once before.

The "Meteor-class" miracle ship of the Pan-Ocean Free Trade Company was the nightmare of countless explorers, rebels, or pirates.

It was precisely because of the possession of a huge ironclad ship that the Pan-Ocean Free Trade Company was able to formulate the rules of this sea area.

But now, they actually saw the second one.

When everyone was trembling, Gao Qiang opened the attribute panel of the Eternal Shield.

["Eternal Shield" super dreadnought]

[Displacement: 90,000 tons]

[Size: 300 meters long, 40 meters wide]

[Main gun: triple 457 mm main gun x2]

[Auxiliary weapons: 300 mm secondary gun x6, 105 mm howitzer x12, depth charge...]

[Auxiliary equipment: detection sonar...]

[......]

The data were placed in front of Gao Qiang.

Maybe Gao Qiang didn't understand it very well.

But there is no doubt that.

This Iron Overlord is enough to dominate the sea and has no rivals!

At this time, the black smoke from the dreadnought became thicker, and the overall speed suddenly increased.

Because the wind was not strong, most of the paddle boats did not have enough power to escape, and could only watch the dreadnought attack the center of the fleet.

Only then did the captain react.

"Fire, fire!!!"

The sailors who realized it later ignited the cannons, and the shells carried the trajectory to hit the armor plate of the dreadnought.

Then something happened that made everyone even more desperate.

After a series of explosions, except for a few more charred marks on the armor plate of the dreadnought, no effective damage was caused at all.

"We... failed to penetrate their armor?"

A captain collapsed to the ground.

Looking at the dreadnought rolling straight towards him, he didn't know his fate.
