"Shelled! Port side shot! Repeat, port side shot!"

　　 In the continuous sound of the alarm, the Uzumaki Escape spewed out a series of projectiles from the front 300 meters to the left of Valkyrie.

　　 The projectile traversed an arc in the air, and crashed into the fast-moving Valkyrie. The sky was splashed with water.

Valkyrie lifted the bow high through the water curtain, and the port side roared immediately. There were three 32-pound doors and two 24-pound doors throwing iron bullets at unfavorable shooting angles, and then of course...reactive. And back.

　　 Lorraine stood on the bow and looked down at the chaotic battle.

　　 One pair of sevens, two sea turrets, four fifth-class galen, and the Queen Anne's Revenge, which has been transformed beyond recognition and is not suitable for continuing to be simply rowed into a certain ship type like Valkyrie.

　　 Valkyrie’s approach to the enemy is very novel. It not only makes full use of the horizontal sails and wing sails on the large sail surface, but also adds the lowest sails to the propulsion system of the ship.

　　 This was originally a sailing technique unique to Oriental hard sailing.

　　 Oriental hard sailboats have always liked to configure multi-mast schooners. With the flexibility of the schooner, they don’t have to consider the windshield and turbulence between the rear mast and the front mast, and can maximize the use of deck space to increase the number of masts.

　　Mast increase requires more deck space, increasing deck space requires an enlarged hull, and an enlarged hull requires more sails and masts to propel...

　　This kind of closed-loop design thought made Eastern Ship embarked on a development direction that was completely different from that of the West from the very beginning.

　　Western shipbuilders focused on fluid, wind, center of gravity, stability...These are not the focus in the eyes of Eastern shipbuilders. For them, only the strength of the keel and the distribution of cabins are the real design core of a ship.

　　According to the records handed down from the East Indian Islands, the Eastern Empire in its heyday built a nine-mast 100-meter-class giant ship in the early 16th century.

　　 Many Western countries treat these histories as untrustworthy myths and legends. After all, at the beginning of the 16th century, Europeans even built a 30-meter-class Galen ship. Even if it was the battle of the British West that brought the Drake family to the world, the main configuration of the two sides was Kirk-type and Karak type.

　　 As we all know, the Spanish Invincible Fleet is equal to a dozen 40-meter Karak galleons.

　　 But Lorraine knows that the 100-meter-class Eastern giant ship is real, and Zheng He’s treasure ship has indeed achieved design achievements that Western sailing ships have not achieved in a lifetime.

　　 Of course, Lorraine has no intention of arguing with Western shipbuilders about this. Whether the treasure ship and Noah’s Ark are the same thing has nothing to do with Lorraine and Valkyrie.

　　 Valkyrie is the essence of New World's shipbuilding industry. The most essential part of her body is the sail, which is the Bermuda full-mounted sail with excellent design from the East and the West.

　　Like the Eastern hard sailing ship, the stern sail of Valkyrie not only has the sail bones and the girder that can rotate up to 180 degrees from the left to the right, but also is equipped with a girder assembly that is rarely seen in Western ships, the revolving sail.

The function of the revolving sail scull is to coordinate the steering of the vertical sail, so that the entire sail surface can be rotated uniformly and fixed at any angle, so as to facilitate the turning of the sail to both sides when needed, and temporarily use the vertical sail as a low sail position. Cross sail to use.

　　The low-position horizontal sail has the unique characteristics of driving, especially after the western-style soft sail is applied, it is easier to form a pocket-like effect, so that the wind has nowhere to escape and achieve the effect of lowering the stern.

Lowering the stern of the ship is equivalent to raising the bow of the ship. On the one hand, raising the bow can greatly reduce the water resistance and increase the speed. Shell armor, kill two birds with one stone.

　　 This is the mystery of the Valkyrie's approach to the enemy.

　　 However, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. In fact, there are relatively strict conditions to achieve a drive in battle.

　　In terms of external forces, the wind direction on the battlefield must be stable, neither too weak nor disorganized. The basic standard is a wind surface of 120 degrees and a medium or higher wind.

　　In terms of internal force, during the rush, the sail installation and heading cannot be changed too much, and it is not allowed to rewind or make up the sail at will, and the steering wheel adjustment cannot exceed plus or minus 5 degrees.

　　 These rigid restrictions make Valkyrie's forward advance like a reloaded knight's charge that was popular in the Middle Ages, resolute, brave, rigid, and indomitable.

Conventional evasion is destined to be abandoned during the rush. The opponent’s artillery hit rate will be doubled. In order to prevent possible direct hits from high-throw projectiles, deck personnel must be limited to the minimum standard, resulting in insufficient manpower at the ship-handling position. It is almost inevitable that there will be a steering that exceeds the limit and a large stall...

　　 I can't think about this.

　　 Lorraine depressedly evaluates his new skills: "Say a thousand things and ten thousand, isn't it reckless..."

　　 Valkyrie recklessly entered the Blackbeard’s hunting grounds, from north to south, swiftly and violently, aiming directly at Blackbeard’s flagship Queen Anne’s Revenge.

　　 Blackbeard felt a strong insult from her straight forward without fancy.

　　He and Lorraine are old rivals.

　　 And unlike Cotton Jack, who has hardly benefited from Lorraine, Blackbeard has firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield regardless of victory or defeat in the past.

　　 Lorraine must rack his brains and efforts to narrowly defeat him. This is not only the consensus of the entire Caribbean, but also Blackbeard's own cognition.

But!

　　 It was just a new ship, and Lorraine suddenly stopped cheating.

　　 Wizards don’t cast spells and swordsmen don’t draw their swords. They can only do this for one reason, that is, the opponent is not worth it!

　　He, the most powerful pirate king in the Caribbean, is his Royal Highness Blackbeard, whose fierce name can easily stop children from crying at night, is no longer worthy of being an opponent?

　　 Because of that ridiculous big ship in a turtle shell?

　　 It's simply the best thing in the world!

　　 Blackbeard seemed to see a wild boar in a tortoise shell rampaging in his carefully arranged fence, and his hunters...

　　 "What are you doing!" Blackbeard gritted his teeth, "What are they afraid of? Are they afraid of being bitten by that toothless iron turtle? Do you remember being the most brutal pirate in the Caribbean!"

"Zanin, let them push up! Boldly cut the side, boldly go around, cut off her from the wind, caught her legs and feet, threw the shotgun on the deck of Baizhi, and shattered this fanatic... Ten thousand paragraphs!"

　　……

　　How far can a person's anger drift in an era without telecommunications?

　　 Lorraine never thought about this problem, nor tried to combine the actions of the pirates with the anger of Blackbeard.

　　 rushed less than one kilometer, and he obviously felt the pirates on the opposite side agitated.

　　The shelling is getting closer, and the turning direction is getting late...

　　 The pirates seem to be deliberately disturbing Valkyrie's windward state.

Although this is an excellent technique to interrupt the advance, with the current number of the Blackbeard Pirates, in order to achieve this step, they need at least two ships to bypass the Valkyrie side and continue to catch up to one. Within 100 meters.

　　 However, Valkyrie is faster than any of Blackbeard's ships. It is obviously impossible to catch up from behind~lightnovelpub.net~ The whirlpool has tried to escape, and it has been thrown away for more than 300 meters.

　　 All they can do is cut the side, close to the windy side of Valkyrie, turn it sideways, and then resign.

　　 Lorraine suddenly realized something strange.

"It seems that my dear Yazha has been underestimated..." He whistled, turned his head and said to Edley, "Go tell Captain Desais that the pirates will soon cut to within 100 meters of our starboard side. It should be disturbing our upwind. I know this sounds a bit weird, but please prepare him to stand still and get close to the shelling."

　　 A moment later, Edley faithfully passed Lorraine's original words to Acharin's ears, including the interjection of "Dear Azha was underestimated".

　　 Yacharin was stunned for a long time, blinking her eyes at once in a dementia state.

　　 "Edley, you said that the captain judged that those pirates who were recklessly planning to approach and cut from our starboard side? Parallel? Crossing?"

　　 "These are the original words of the captain, Mr. Chief Cannon."

　　 "Do they regard themselves as dead? Or did they not see Valkyrie's so many open guns, when we gunners are regarded as dead?"

　　 "The high probability is that you will be regarded as dead." Edley replied solemnly, "Otherwise no one would make fun of his life."

　　 "Ah... it's really exciting news..." Yacharin shook his arm and got into the gun bay from the bow. "Tell the pirates, please. Yacharin Desai greets their sisters."
