My future is invincible?

Chapter 37 Confrontation
The 380 kg shell had an initial velocity of 800 meters per second and a firing rate of about two rounds per minute. When it flew in a parabolic trajectory in the sky, the horrible sound of it scraping against the air was like a steel knife rubbing violently against a person's skull through an iron helmet! !

This is the terror of naval guns of this era, the crystallization of the industry of this era, and the pinnacle of firepower delivery of this era.

Not to mention warriors.

Even if a section of the locomotive is hit directly, it will be shattered into pieces. Don't expect to find any complete parts in the crater.

Such shells nowadays.

Right above this sea area, at a distance of 20,000 meters, the two sides' ironclad warships were fiercely launching missiles towards each other's areas. Even the air seemed to be torn into pieces, and along with the sound of the wind, it made a creepy and torturous explosion sound.

If you stand there and watch from a distance.

You can see the whole process of heavy artillery passing through the air, exciting shock waves, and then plunging into the water, splashing water columns. At first glance, it seems a bit of a joke. The two armies fired their naval guns at each other, but neither could hit anyone, and the shells fell into the water. The distance is very limited at the moment, and before the shells fell, the ironclad ship had already maneuvered away.

This way.

Want to hit with artillery fire.

Part of it is luck, part of it is numbers.

This is the relaxed perspective of a bystander. If you are in the barrage, it is not relaxing, but quite thrilling!
boom! !

A column of water rose up with a loud bang twenty meters away from the ship. Even though it did not hit the ship directly, the shock wave and swaying feeling it brought still made people feel chest tightness, dizziness, and fear.

Geng Liangchen's face turned extremely pale.

He was no longer standing at the bow, but had temporarily retreated to the command room.

This is not the time to show off.

As practitioners of divine warriors, their role was limited before they could engage the enemy, but it was not without effect. Thanks to this role, their ironclad ships dared to charge forward under the enemy's artillery barrage despite their overall inferior performance.

A warrior's reaction ability far exceeds that of an ordinary person.

Flying needles pierce mosquitoes, and ten strikes are done in an instant, all at your fingertips. You can even sense the trigger pull and predict the trajectory of the bullet.

The trajectory of naval guns that are difficult to calculate in the eyes of ordinary people, and the supersonic shock waves that are impossible to capture, can actually be seen by warriors, and they can even react and predict them in their minds.

"Go to the Jixia Academy and brush up on your math skills."

'It may not be useful.'

"But you might need it in a life-or-death situation."

This was Lan Yi's arrangement for Geng Liangchen and Huo Yuanjia before they set out. They naturally obeyed the immortal master's order and took a group of Qigong warriors to the Jixia Academy for a intensive study. Warriors learn things very quickly, especially in arithmetic, where warriors have a unique advantage. They don't need to learn a lot, they just learn the two-point parabola and set off.

Unfortunately, Lan Yi’s words came true.

This little knowledge of arithmetic came in handy at this time.

The speed of the ironclad ship, the distance between the two, the time it takes for the shell to fire and fall, its trajectory and the disturbance of the shock wave, all these things popped out of Huo Yuanjia's mind one after another when he was in danger of being turned into a meat paste at any time!
They all told Huo Yuanjia that he was the best in Tianjin. Oh no, they were telling him whether there was a chance that the captured shells would fall on his head.

The same was true for the warriors on other ships.

Some of them have accurate predictions, some have amazing calculation abilities, and they are always able to grant the ironclad ships under their feet a battlefield status that increases their dodge by 40 percent as if assisted by God.

Don’t underestimate it, it’s only 40 percent.

Considering the pitiful hit rate of that era, 40% was enough to turn every ironclad ship into a snow wind.

boom! ! !
Although the number of Xinghan warships was small, they were also roaring back. Regardless of whether they hit the target or not, they had to fight back, otherwise the opponent would be able to start calculating the artillery units without any pressure, and the artillery would definitely become more and more accurate. Only when both sides were being bombarded, the level of both sides would be fair.

"It's fifteen thousand meters." An officer beside Huo Yuanjia reminded.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the command room became solemn, and many soldiers even had a look of death in their eyes.

The fighting started at 20,000 meters, and the danger zone begins at 15,000 meters. When approaching this distance, the hit rate of the ship's guns will increase rapidly. If you continue to go deeper, the artillery parabola will gradually tend to be a straight line. Even if the warriors calculate, there will be no time to mobilize the entire ship to dodge.

Those who practice divine martial arts must be dispatched.

We still need to advance at least another 10,000 meters.

It would take them about sixteen minutes to cover ten thousand meters.

The good news is that the foreigners did not resist, but instead fought back with equal bravery and determination. The warriors should be ready in about eight minutes.

"Eight minutes?"

"The Immortal Master has ordered me and General Wu Tian to attack and kill this fleet!"

"I don't care what you do, you must send me to the ground, or I will be subject to military court!"

Geng Liangchen was full of murderous intent. The pressure from the martial artist made everyone obey his orders. He had decided to fight to the death. Not only because of Lan Yi's order, but also to vent the frustration of Xinghan being suppressed by the foreigners' warships for so many years! He wanted to tell the foreigners that your ships are no longer as useful as before!

Eight breathtaking minutes.

For eight minutes the booming of artillery continued without interruption.

Several times.

The columns of flames created by the thrilling bombardment exploded almost right next to the side of the ship.

Under the violent impact, casualties were inevitable.

But fortunately, warriors are still playing a role. Warriors who practice martial arts have skills and coordination that surpass ordinary people, and they are first-class even in damage control and rescue.

Five thousand meters!
"We've arrived! I'm going!" A gleam of light flashed in Geng Liangchen's eyes, and the next moment he rushed out of the broken porthole with a roar like a black tiger out of a cage!
He fell into the water with a bang.

Geng Liangchen did not sink into the water. Instead, after stirring up waves, the innate energy in his body burned violently and he exerted all his strength to stimulate superhuman speed!

In an instant, two straight lines of water splashed closely together and rushed towards the many warships that were firing sideways in front at lightning speed!
Huo Yuanjia and Geng Liangchen charged at full speed.

A 5,000-meter straight-line distance on the sea was only a matter of minutes for a warrior who could ride on the waves. In just a few breaths, their charging posture attracted the attention of the observers on the Punishment Fleet.

Foreigners know that warriors are fierce.

I also know that they will probably choose to join us.

However, he did not expect that they would board the ship in this way, so he could only send out the volley guns that he had prepared in advance, ready to intercept and kill the two warriors coming over the waves.

A safe area further back.

The foreign commander narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Will the gun be useful?"

"Even if we can't kill those warriors, we should be able to repel them. We are using deer hunting bullets." The foreign officer said thoughtfully.

But soon the news came, and both of them couldn't help but look solemn and horrified.

In less than ten minutes, the two warriors lost control of all eight ironclad ships, but communication was maintained.
