To be honest, Franz didn't like the feeling of being in the forefront of a dangerous situation and watching the shells fly. But at this time, he was already on board the thief ship "Venecia", so he couldn't help but think so much.

"Uncle Friedrich, you should be glad your opponent doesn't have high-explosive shells. Otherwise, we would be back in the arms of our ancestors by now."

Franz pointed to the solid shell that just shattered the reinforced glass and smashed into the bridge.

"Frantz, I think it's best for you to leave here. Anyway, this is the front line of the battle. As the captain, I have a duty to do it, and you are just our guest."

Friedrich continued to observe the surrounding enemy situation with a telescope, and said calmly.

"Uncle Friedrich, we are all children of the royal family after all; if we retreat or even run away from the slightest danger, I'm afraid it will have a serious impact on our morale."

At this moment, the two were chatting unhurriedly, and their calm expressions immediately eased the tense atmosphere in the bridge. After all, there are two royal princes sitting in command, even if they died in battle, it would not be a bad loss. .

Moreover, most of the naval officers at this time were of noble origin. During this period, nobles paid great attention to the so-called temperament-elegance.

So a strange phenomenon appeared on the ship. Although everyone was pretending to be calm, it gave people a really calm atmosphere.

The artillery fire outside was so intense that even the glass was shattered, and some people came to ask Archduke Franz, "Do you want dessert and coffee?".

"Coffee, thanks."

Although Dayan Shanyin on the side has always boasted that she is not afraid of death, but at this moment she only dared to lie on the ground and look up at her master.

"Miss Shanyin, you will increase the probability of being shot by doing this. Besides, lying on the deck is easy to catch cold, and it is easy to trip other people, especially now in the process of fighting." Franz reminded kindly.

"Grand Duke Franz, aren't you afraid?" Dayan Shanyin asked tremblingly.

"Fear? That's natural! But it's a bit late to talk about it now. Since you can't refuse, why not enjoy it. Do you need dessert?" The other party didn't see that this was Franz's pretended calm answer, She just felt that his distinctive image in her heart was bigger now.

"Please give me some sugar, it is said that it can calm people down." Dayan Shanyin finally plucked up the courage to kneel and sit on the deck.

Franz took two sugar cubes and handed them to her. The sudden and violent impact caused the hull to almost lose its balance, and various lamps and interior decorations fell like rolling stones.

Obviously Friedrich's iron head tactics worked, the flagship "Veniceia" directly sank the opponent's largest warship; the enemy warship wanted to escape at the last moment, but the "Venecia" equipped with steam turbines "How can the power of the sailing battleship be matched by this sailing battleship.

The 4,700-ton super-class battleship "Venecia" directly smashed Mayed's flagship "Truth" into pieces. The Omani navy, which lost its flagship, immediately fell into chaos.

However, this was only the beginning, and then the Austrian first-class battleships, which were also wrapped in iron sheets, rushed into the enemy's line one after another, turning the Arab fleet upside down.

At this time, Friedrich, who was standing on the podium, shouted loudly: "Sign up and tell them to prepare for the second stage of attack!"

Five first-tier battleships with full firepower in the enemy's line is terrifying enough. Although the pseudo-battleships of the Oman Navy did not cut corners like the Egyptians, they also couldn't withstand the approaching shots of the first-tier battleships.

But soon the Omanis discovered some strange launchers on the deck of the enemy ship. Although this kind of rodless spin rocket is powerful, its worrying hit rate makes it have little room to play in naval battles.

But that's only in general situations, such as this kind of close-range melee, the advantages of rockets are vividly reflected.

Most of the sailors in the Oman Navy are pirates. They have dealt with ships and death all their lives, so they are not afraid of death and boarding battles.

The battle situation at this time shows that it is difficult for the Omani artillery to cause effective damage to those giant enemy ships. In this case, the side-to-side battle may be a good choice.

There was even an Omani general who took the lead and took off his clothes and stood on the bow of the ship with only a machete, just like the Barbary pirates who once shocked the world. But this soon proved to be a wrong decision.

When the Austrian anti-infantry rocket exploded in the air, the unarmored Arab warrior instantly became a sieve, and the scattered steel **** directly emptied the deck.

The killing effect of the incendiary rockets is more obvious. The combustibles splashed by the explosion directly fall on the wooden deck or the human body. As long as a spark will ignite a fire, those Omanis who were about to jump into the country just now instantly Turned into a Burning Man, he could only jump into the sea in order to survive.

Of course, Mayed also prepared a backhand, which is a huge self-destruct fleet.

Like the Wahhabis, Taliban, and "Al Qaeda" members of later generations, these people have very firm beliefs or are afraid of harming the family members in the hands of Mayed. In short, they are not afraid of life and death.

It's a pity that with the sinking of Mayed's flagship and the disappearance of the commander, no one can command this special force. When someone finally "convinced" some of its members to charge the enemy ship, they discovered a problem.

That is, the self-explosive fleet could not approach the Austrian warships, an insurmountable blockade composed of artillery, rockets, and marksmen.

These self-explosive ships are nothing more than carrying a large amount of gunpowder and inflammables. This is the favorite target of the opponent's high-explosive shells and rockets, because it can trigger a secondary explosion.

Due to the development of rifle technology in the Austrian Empire, rifled guns are no longer superior, but all soldiers can afford them.

The marines who were forced to hide in the cabin before took this opportunity to vent their anger on the Arabs who fought undeclared~www.mtlnovel.com~Friedrich's Marine Corps As the only Austrian army equipped with breech-loading guns, naturally they would not let go of this great opportunity to try out the power of this new weapon.

And the rate of fire of the breech-loading guns far exceeded the perception of the Arabs on the opposite side. They thought that after a round of bullets, they could show their heads to paddle, but they didn't expect that after only a few seconds, their heads would be full of blood. A flower of blood exploded.

As more opposing warships rushed out of the mouth of the bay, the Omanis became increasingly disadvantaged at sea, and they had no choice but to retreat. It's just that with the passage of time, the steam engines equipped on Austrian warships gradually began to function.

How could a pure sail warship outperform a sail-steam hybrid ship? The battle quickly turned into a one-sided massacre. Given that the Omanis fought undeclaredly, there was no need for the Austrians to abide by the established rules on the battlefield.

The navy soldiers picked up their rifles and long hooks and frantically killed the Arab soldiers who fell into the water. Several large battleships continued to chase and kill the remnants of the enemy in front, while the small warships following behind wiped out all the enemies they saw, and salvaged them by the way. some goods.

The people of Bagamoyo, who witnessed the whole process on the shore, rejoiced because the Omanis who had oppressed them for many years were finally defeated.

But Benny Elbin and a group of Bagamoyo dignitaries were terrified and speechless. They thought that the Austrians would be defeated by the Omanis, and that the latter would be so debilitated that they would let them go.

But the terrible combat power displayed by the Austrian Navy really made them break out in cold sweat.
