Twilight arrived quickly under the gaze of the night sky.

"Open the sails and get close to the shoreline!"

Estimating the time, Nangong Yi calmly ordered.

Soon, the fifty sail battleships raised a few sails and slowly approached the coastline.

However, in this foggy day, even with the help of binoculars, the soldiers of the Sunset Army could not see the scene on the coast from a distance of one mile.

Therefore, when the Sunset Fleet lined up and stopped outside the coastline, the distance between these fifty sailing battleships was only more than two hundred meters from the coastline.

Although this distance is within the effective range of the bolt-action rifle of the Xuanling Empire, the firepower of the semi-automatic rifle equipped by the Sunset Army can completely suppress the opponent.

All the soldiers of the Sunset Army need to guard against are the opponent's catapults and explosive packs.

And with the fifty sailing battleships with a total of more than 2,000 artillery pieces, even if the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire removed the catapults and explosive packs, they were destined to be unable to complete any attack.

The soldiers of the Sunset Army were completely able to use artillery to kill them before they threw their explosive packs!

At this moment, the soldiers on the Sunset Fleet were able to clearly see the figures of the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire patrolling near the coast!

"Except for the gunner and the helmsman, all the soldiers are on standby on deck!"

Nangong Yi gave the order again.

After the soldiers of the Sunset Army came to the deck, Nangong Yi gave the order to fire.

"The Sunset Army belongs, open fire!"

"Try to shoot down the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire on the coastline through burst shots, and prepare for the next artillery bombardment!"

Nangong Yi ordered.

As a result, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Sunset Army on the deck simultaneously took out their semi-automatic rifles, aimed at the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire on the coastline, and pulled the trigger one after another.

The sound of gunshots rang out continuously on the sea surface, and the bullets that were spun at a high speed, fell towards the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire on the coast like a goddess scattered flowers in the air!

When the gunshots rang out, the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire were already alarmed.

However, when these Xuanling Empire soldiers raised their bolt-action rifles in a panic, countless bullets had already landed on them!

At this time, there were only five or six thousand soldiers of the Xuanling Empire who were still patrolling the coast. Under the continuous shooting of the Sunset Army, nearly a thousand of these soldiers of the Xuanling Empire were killed by stray bullets!

But even so, the bullet's hit rate is already very low.

After all, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Sunset Army have emptied their magazines, and the bullets they fired have accumulated hundreds of thousands.

In other words, on average, one hundred bullets will hit the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire and kill them.

Of course, this is not to say that the shooting skills of the soldiers of the Sunset Army are not good.

You must know that at a distance of more than 200 meters, it is difficult to hit the target even with a high-powered mirror.

What's more, these soldiers are still using machine sights!

At this time, while the soldiers on the Sunset Fleet were changing their magazines, the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire also began to fight back.

However, even the veterans of the Sunset Army could not hit the target well over a distance of more than 200 meters, let alone the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire who were in their comfort zone and had already slack off.

More than 4,000 soldiers of the Xuanling Empire fired at the same time, but let alone the soldiers of the Sunset Army, even the bullets that landed on the sailing battleships were very rare.

The most accurate of these bullets is also nearly one meter away from the soldiers of the Sunset Army!

Although if these Xuanling Empire soldiers continue to shoot, it is not necessarily that no one will hit the target by chance.

However, when these Xuanling Empire soldiers were pulling their bolts, the Sunset Army soldiers on the Sunset Fleet had already completed the replacement of their magazines!

The second round of shooting began. With the previous experience, the shooting accuracy of the soldiers of the Sunset Army was greatly improved.

They are constantly correcting the ballistics, and predicting the positions of the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire, looking for opportunities to shoot them!

After the second round of shooting, the more than 4,000 Xuanling Empire soldiers lost more than half, and only 2,000 people fled in the direction of Donghai City!

"Stop shooting, the gunners are ready, and the guns are allowed!"

Seeing this, Nangong Yi gave an order lightly.

So, the soldiers of the Sunset Army put away the semi-automatic rifles in their hands.

Each sail battleship has fifty artillery pieces, that is to say, therefore, each sail battleship has a hundred soldiers who are responsible for the observers, helping the artilleryman to observe the enemy's position and assisting him in adjusting the angle of the artillery.

In addition, there are fifty people standing behind the artillerymen on each sailing battleship. They are holding new cannonballs in their hands and are ready to refill the cannonballs at any time!

At this point, in the process of the previous two rounds of firing, most of these artillerymen had already completed the adjustment of the artillery angle.

Therefore, after Nangong Yi gave the order, more than a thousand artillery pieces fired in unison!

Thousands of cannonballs burst out from the cannon barrels with a whistling sound, streaks a beautiful parabola in the air, and fell towards the only way for the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire to escape.

In this salvo, the two sides seemed to have agreed that when the cannonballs landed, these Xuanling Empire soldiers just passed by not far from the cannonballs!

If these cannonballs are still solid cannonballs before, then these cannonballs can't pose too much threat to these Xuanling Empire soldiers.

But this time is different. These new shells are filled with TNT explosives!

Not to mention the damage caused by the fragments after its explosion, the power of its explosion shock wave alone is enough to devour enemies within ten meters of its defense!

The more than 2,000 soldiers of the Xuanling Empire have dropped sharply once again, and there are only less than a hundred soldiers left!

However, less than a hundred people had already fled frantically and arrived at the gate of East Sea City.

But, can they really leave like this?

how is this possible!

As early as when the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire began to flee, there were artillerymen who predicted their direction and moved the aiming position of the artillery to the gate of Donghai City.

In other words, as long as these artillerymen fire, then the gate of Donghai City will be blown down in an instant!

And the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire near the city gate of the East China Sea will definitely lose their bones in the explosion!

Boom! boom! boom!

The roar of artillery fire continued, and among the shells that burst out, more than a dozen shells invariably crossed a parabola and fell towards the gate of Donghai City.

When the soldiers of the Xuanling Empire entered the city gate of Donghai City, these shells also bombarded the city gate and exploded!

An orange flame erupted immediately, and the entire city gate of Donghai City was illuminated by the firelight.

Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion occurred at the city gate, and the buildings within a radius of tens of meters collapsed in an instant, turning into ruins.

At this midnight, the Sunset Fleet bombarded Donghai City!
