"Finally there is a gain!"

　　 This is not only Shikuma’s thoughts, but also the thoughts of Carlos’ Captain Karoo.

　　 From discovering the opponent to the present, the battle has been unknowingly going on for more than an hour. Of course, most of this time was spent on chasing, the real exchange of fire... Well, to be precise, there was not much time for unilateral shelling.

But even if the time spent in the battle is not much, the rate of fire of the 105mm main gun is enough for the Shawnee, Cheyenne, Chippewa and Carlos in this short few minutes of battle. The main guns have fired ten rounds.

　　 Compared to the initial shelling at a distance of more than eleven kilometers, this kind of shelling effect is undoubtedly better when it is zoomed in to within seven kilometers.

　　 There were ten rounds of volley before, but the poor straddle shot did not form. Again, in naval battles with a bombing distance of more than ten kilometers, 105mm naval guns are really not enough to see.

　　 After chasing within seven kilometers, the accuracy of the main gun improved. In fact, straddling has been achieved for several rounds before, but unfortunately, luck is always a little bit worse, no shells hit the two French warships.

　　 This is also no way. After all, both sides are sailing at the highest speed. At this speed, even if it is within five kilometers, the hit rate is pitiful.

　　 Now he can hit a volley in less than twenty rounds, which is pretty good. Of course, this is Shi Xiong's view.

　　 As for Karoo, that's a sigh of relief.

　　 The boss of his own boss is standing here, and you can imagine the pressure that Carew is under. Although the previous volleys were very neat, they were of no use. If you can't hit the target, it won't matter how neatly you shoot.

　　Kalu certainly didn't know that the hit rate of naval battles at this distance was absolutely no more than 3%. That is to say, it is possible to hit one shell with a salvo of 30 shells.

　　Four Carlos-class warships were chasing these two French warships. Because they were chasing the enemy, only the two twin-mounted turrets on the bow deck could be used. Four warships can fire sixteen rounds in one salvo.

　　 Ten rounds is one hundred and sixty shells, and only one shot was made. The hit rate is really terrible.

　　 But from Shixiong's point of view, this hit rate is really pretty good. The artillery is light, and it moves at full speed. There is no gun sighting equipment for later generations. It relies on the gunner’s experience and simple gun sight sighting. It is really good to be able to achieve such results at a distance of seven kilometers.

　　 Moreover, the first shell has already hit, so consecutive hits will not be difficult anymore.

　　The most difficult thing in naval battles is the first hit, which has been proven in the later generations of World War I and World War II.

　　Sure enough, with one shell hitting the Seahorse in the tenth round of the salvo, two shells in the eleventh round hit the hapless warship again.

　　 The first shell knocked out the mainmast of the Seahorse, causing the desperately running warship to immediately lose more than half of its power source, and its speed quickly dropped.

　　 Once a battleship loses speed in a naval battle, it almost means sinking.

　　 Shawnee and Cheyenne, in accordance with the orders issued by Karoo, began to hang behind the Seahorse unhurriedly, keeping a distance of more than six kilometers from the Seahorse, and firing continuously.

　　 This kind of rare live target in actual combat is really hard to come across. Since I have encountered it, there is absolutely no reason to let it go. It is undoubtedly a great thing to use the Seahorse to hone the gunners on the Shawnee and Cheyenne.

　　 Chippewa and Carlos continued to chase the rushing Atlantic Horn. Soon, the Atlantic Horn stepped into the footsteps of the Seahorse.

　　 It may be that the previous good luck was blown away by the increasing sea breeze. Within five minutes of the Atlantic Horn ran out, its stern was hit by a shell from the main gun of the Carlos No. 1 turret.

　　 This shell directly knocked off the rudder of the Atlantic Horn, and made a big hole in the **** of the Atlantic Horn.

　　 To describe it specifically, that is, the Atlantic Horn was killed by Carlos...

　　 Although the sails of the Horn of the Atlantic were fine, a large amount of seawater was poured in from the big opening in the stern of its ship. Hundreds of tons of sea water poured into the cabin of the Atlantic Horn, which immediately reduced the speed of the Atlantic Horn.

　　 So far, the five ships that have just completed their voyage across the Atlantic have become slow-moving ships and the best living targets for the nine steel warships of the Yanhuang tribal navy.

　　 For such a rare live target, Karoo didn't want to let it go. Under his order, all the steel warships began to circle the five live targets at high speed on the sea about six kilometers away, and while they circled at high speed, they continued to shoot at the same time.

　　Because of the circular motion, the sides of the nine warships are facing these five live targets. All the main guns and part of the secondary guns on the warships can be used.

　　 This is indeed a waste of ammunition and a great loss to the barrel of the main gun, but Shixiong did not stop Karu from doing this.

　　 This is a rare actual naval battle. If you don’t take this opportunity to practice well, I don’t know when you will encounter this situation next time.

　　 The ammunition can be rebuilt, and the barrel can be replaced if it is broken, but this kind of rare opportunity for actual naval battles, it is really impossible to have this shop after passing this village.

　　 Therefore, every extravagant is extravagant. For the Yanhuang tribal navy, this loss is sprinkled...

　　 It is the most important thing to train a batch of qualified and actual combat-tested naval generals and sailors as soon as possible.

　　 Now that Shixiong knows about the changes in the British main fleet, it is clear that Britain probably cannot bear it now and is ready to abandon the 13 North American colonies.

　　 Then, it is very likely that the Yanhuang tribe will face the combined situation of the Americans, French, Spanish and Dutch alone~lightnovelpub.net~ In this case, the navy becomes the most important!

　　 As soon as possible, let the soldiers and soldiers piloting these steel battleships become combat effective, so as to be worthy of the combat effectiveness of the steel battleship.

　　 Through this naval battle, Shi Xiong is already confident. The steel battleship did not disappoint Shi Xiong. According to the speed and weapon power displayed by the steel battleship, three Carlos-class fleets formed a squadron, which was enough to resist more than fifteen capital ships.

　　 Even if the steel battleship stays there, the sailing battleship must narrow the distance to within 500 meters if it wants to hit the steel battleship.

　　 The distance between seven kilometers and five hundred meters alone is enough for the main guns of the steel battleship to launch a lethal blow to those sailing battleships. Especially once the distance between the two battleships is reduced to within four kilometers, the hit rate of the main guns of the steel battleships will be greatly improved, not to mention that in addition to the main guns, there are 76mm secondary guns with a faster firing rate. And the 76 mortar...
