The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

It is already late September, which is late autumn in terms of season. Compared with the coolness on land, the temperature at sea is slightly higher. However, it is almost evening, so the bleak chill has already permeated the sea.

But at this moment, this sea area was not cold at all, but instead filled with a scorching heat that made people sweat profusely.

In the formation of the Yan State fleet, steam was gushing out due to the decompression. The water vapor carrying heat caused the temperature around the fleet to rise significantly. The gunners in the gun room were loading shells in an orderly manner. The shells were no longer inserted from the front bore, but loaded from the rear bore. In addition, these artillery now had rifled guns, and they were breech-loading rifled guns.

The muzzles of the guns were aimed at the enemy coming from the front. There were so many enemy warships that they almost covered the entire sea surface. In the front, they were sailing in two longitudinal battle lines, and their hulls had been adjusted to the side, which meant that as long as they entered their battle lines, the enemy would fire their artillery shells.

But they couldn't wait for this opportunity.

The gunners were waiting excitedly, waiting for the distance to shorten, waiting for the main gunner to send the order to fire.

Opposite him, Clemento, who was at the rear of the coalition fleet, was wiping his sweat. Although the temperature here was not high, he was still sweating profusely.

The original excitement has disappeared, and now only nervousness and uneasiness remain in my heart.

As the distance was greatly shortened, the formal confrontation was only about to begin. Clemento could already see the appearance of the Yan Kingdom warship very clearly.

The iron armor covering the warships, the completely different gun turret structures, and the white smoke that was still spewing out, all these strange things vaguely indicated that the enemy was not driving a regular sailing warship at the moment.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, he gradually realized in his heart that the Yan people had developed a brand new warship in the past few months, and their warships were even so advanced that they could sail without the help of sails.

This is definitely a groundbreaking product. It is amazing that the bulky ironclad ships can sail quickly on the sea without the help of wind.

However, such a warship was in the hands of the enemy.

So, where will this naval battle lead?

Clemento had no time to think, because there was no turning back at this moment. The coalition fleet was already close enough to the enemy, and the largest naval battle ever fought by the Sari Kingdom was about to begin.

"Keep sailing at full speed! Gunners, get ready! Fire our artillery into the enemy ships! Destroy them!" Clemento roared.

In fact, the orders he gave at this moment were no longer important. What he said in the rear could not be transmitted to the front. From this moment on, this naval battle would be an all-round fight.

All coalition warships were ordered to sail at full speed, striving to defeat all Yan Kingdom warships.

Standing on the deck, Clemento clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the sea ahead. The enemy was getting closer and closer, and they were about to rush into the battle line.

"Hurry up... come in, come into our fire coverage area..." He muttered, and his face twitched slightly.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

The passage of time seemed to slow down a lot at this moment, and the noisy noise of the waves seemed to fade away. Clemento's eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to bulge out of his sockets.

And suddenly—

"Boom boom boom!"

The deafening sound of artillery fire suddenly rang out, it came so suddenly.

Clemento's whole body shook uncontrollably. He almost lost his balance and staggered back several steps before stopping.

The scene that I least wanted to see finally came into view.

The enemy's warships opened fire before even entering the battle line!

Since they are using new warships, how could the range of their artillery shells not be extended!

The Yan State warships in the front row suddenly fired a salvo of shells without any warning. Flashes of fire flashed from their gun positions, and a large amount of smoke instantly filled the sea.

The shells fired in unison streaked across the dark sky at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, and just a few breaths after the cannon fire, an even louder sound appeared!

One after another, explosive bombs shot into the Dawn Fleet at the forefront with the force of thunder!

The conical shells had extremely strong armor-piercing power. They penetrated the wooden hull of the Dawn battleship almost instantly. The Sari soldiers on the ship had never anticipated this result.

By the time they reacted, the shells were already approaching them.

And follow.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom!!"

The explosive bomb exploded violently in an instant!

The built-in explosive burned violently with unstoppable force, and the resulting impact force caused the sturdy shell to disintegrate instantly. However, the power of the explosive had not yet completely dissipated at this time, and a burst of flames suddenly appeared, and the high temperature contained in it almost instantly ignited the surrounding objects.

The wooden hull was ignited by the high temperature and burned instantly.

The disintegrated shell casing was still shooting out in all directions, and the countless small iron blocks contained inside shot into any object it came into contact with, while the conical iron piece split into countless fragments after disintegration.

With the impact of the explosives, these fingernail-sized fragments have unimaginable power.

They shot into the human body at high speed, drilling into the hands, feet, chest, abdomen, and head of each soldier. The soldiers were killed in a state of complete confusion.

And this was what was endured by the soldiers outside the explosion range. In the center of the explosion of the shell, the nearby soldiers almost disintegrated instantly along with the splitting of the shell.

His hands and feet were instantly broken and flew out, his chest and abdomen were completely torn open by the explosion, his liver, intestines and internal organs were almost shattered, and they turned into blood mist and splashed out together with the blood. Even the hardest bones in the human body were broken and shattered at this time.

Compared with solid shells, explosive shells do not cause human bodies with punctured intestines and rotten stomachs, but instead cause bloody and fleshy debris to fly out in pieces.

And now, in the first round of bombardment from the Yan Kingdom's steam ironclad ships, the Dawn Fleet, which was hit first, suffered a near-destructive blow.

In the crumbling ship, there were shattered human remains flying everywhere, blood was sprayed in the air like mist, and under the collapsed mast, the charred bodies of the soldiers were wailing miserably.

The smell of blood was masked by the thick smell of gunpowder, pieces of flesh were stuck to the tattered deck, raging flames were burning, and wood chips and body parts were crackling.

The last ray of light in the sky disappeared when the battle officially began, but a new light appeared under this sky.

It was the dazzling beam of light brought by the explosion, and even more so the raging flames burning on countless warships.

The blazing flames were reflected on the sea surface, as if the entire ocean was ignited and burning at this moment.

"Boom boom boom!"

More explosive bombs streaked across the dark sky and began to bombard indiscriminately.
