Chapter 685: Battle against Rune Weapons
"Try the first set of strikes."
Xiao Ai said this and started the MK41 vertical launch system.
Two Zircon hypersonic missiles were fired at the huge dreadnought.
In the blink of an eye, the Zircon hypersonic missile was fired in front of the dreadnought and was about to hit it.
At this moment, a figurehead on the bow of the dreadnought emitted a silver light.
The prow is like a mermaid, made entirely of silver metal. She holds a shield in her left hand, a trident in her right hand, and wears a crown on her head, looking very majestic.
The silver light emanates from the mermaid's body.
The silver light instantly enveloped the entire ship.
As soon as the Zircon hypersonic missile hit the silver light area, it exploded and turned into two huge fireballs.
However, the dreadnought, enveloped in silver light, remained safe and sound .
Not even a fragment of the debris landed on the ship.
The huge warship showed no signs of abnormality and continued to move towards Zhang Tuohai at a constant speed. At the same time, the golden runes on the huge main gun flashed again, as if it was preparing for a second attack.
"The first strike was blocked. Should we launch a second strike?"
Xiao Ai asked.
"No! Change your target and kill the two guys next to you first."
Zhang Tuohai rejected Xiao Ai's plan to continue testing the attack.
When the explosion happened just now, he had already seen clearly through the 3D map that on the base of the figurehead, there was a line of fine runes engraved.
Zhang Tuohai, who already had a preliminary understanding of runes, knew that this level of protection was already close to the law level in this world. Unless he figured out its defense limit, he would just waste missiles in vain.
It would be more cost-effective to kill the two henchmen behind first.
"clear."
Xiao Ai immediately changed her target and launched four Zircon hypersonic missiles towards the two ironclad ships following behind.
Both of these ironclad ships are in the style of the early Industrial Revolution period. Black smoke is belching from huge chimneys, and alongside the chimneys there are actually three sails for supplementing the power. A huge ram is installed on the bow, and there are more than ten main and secondary guns. However, the largest one does not seem to exceed 200 mm, and does not look very powerful.
"It should be okay this time, right?"
Zhang Tuohai guessed secretly.
However, one of the two ironclad ships suddenly rushed forward ten kilometers.
It was more like teleportation than a sprint. In the blink of an eye, they arrived 10 kilometers away. If there was not a huge white track between the two, Zhang Tuohai would have really thought it was teleportation.
Although the other ironclad ship was hit, two large holes with a diameter of five meters were broken.
However, some granulation-like things seemed to have grown on the edge of the big hole, constantly spreading towards the gap, and the big hole was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
They actually managed to rescue an ironclad ship that was about to sink.
Seeing this, Zhang Tuohai quickly enlarged the two ironclad ships.
The sails of the first ironclad ship and the hull of the second ironclad ship were both engraved with golden runes. However, the runes were too small for the huge hull, which is why Zhang Tuohai did not notice them at first.
"hiss--"
Zhang Tuohai couldn't help but gasp when he saw this.
Unexpectedly, the three attacking ships all had rune equipment, especially the dreadnought, which had two pieces of rune equipment revealed. It looked like it was quite powerful.
At this time, the dreadnought that started out had re-locked onto Zhang Tuohai, and the golden runes on the main gun reached their highest brightness.
Boom!
A muffled sound.
A shell flew across a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers and hit Zhang Tuohai.
Whoosh——
A Zircon missile hit the shell, creating a gorgeous firework in the air.
"I can't fight hard, so I'll hide for now."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Tuohai immediately backed the car up for a distance, turned a corner, and after making sure that he had avoided the sight of the three ships, he drove into the river.
His car has had a diving function for a long time, and it has been upgraded once. It can stay at the bottom of the shallow sea for a period of time, let alone this freshwater river.
After diving the car into the river, Zhang Tuohai began to approach the ironclad ship in front at a diving speed.
Since the missiles can't hit it, let's try a boarding battle, jump onto its board directly, destroy its speed advantage, and see what other tricks it has.
As for the air, rq180 is left to monitor the situation at any time.
At the same time, a player wearing a white cloak on the dreadnought leaned on the railing with both hands and stared into the distance.
"Captain, according to the lookout's report, we have lost track of the target. What should we do?" the first mate said cautiously.
"Our mission is to kill that damn Charles, a hostile player. Don't pay attention to him for now. Let the Lightning continue to explore forward and look for Charles's trace."
Said the captain in the white cloak.
"Understood." The first mate immediately passed the order down.
The ironclad ship that "teleported" 10 kilometers forward raised its sails and accelerated forward.
Seeing that the ironclad ship was getting closer and closer to him, Zhang Tuohai narrowed his eyes slightly.
His chance has come.
Seeing the ironclad ship speeding towards them, Zhang Tuohai suddenly came up with an idea.
He took out several mines that had been used as aerial bombs, set the depth in the water according to the enemy's waterline, and placed them on the enemy's route.
He himself was floating quietly in the water, waiting quietly.
Two hours later, the ironclad ship finally arrived near Zhang Tuohai's ambush point.
Zhang Tuohai and others were almost falling asleep.
He found that he had discovered a weakness of the opponent, which was the overall slow speed.
Except for some high-speed warships with specific purposes, most modern warships have a speed of around 30 knots, which is equivalent to 55 kilometers per hour, which is roughly the speed of a family car in the city.
Those older warships were even slower, usually between 10 and 25 knots.
The era of sailing battleships was even worse. At 10 knots, you could kneel on the deck and thank the sea god.
This is an advantage for cars like Zhang Tuohai, but how to turn it into a winning advantage is a puzzle.
Perhaps we can rely on our superior speed to gather the vehicles together and form a local battle where we have more people against fewer.
“This might be a solution.”
Zhang Tuohai recorded this method for later verification, and now he needed to concentrate on dealing with this ironclad ship .
The ironclad ship never expected that someone would dare to stay here and attack it, and even place mines in its channel. The most annoying thing was that next to the mine, there was a self-propelled machine that adjusted the position of the mine according to the direction of the ironclad ship.
Caught off guard, the ironclad ship HMS Lightning came into close contact with a mine.
