"Shock!"

　　 Boom boom boom boom!

　　 Valkyrie slowly cut out from the bow of the Romance at a very close distance, as if meeting a pirate's luck for the first time out of the sea, panicking and throwing himself into the net.

　　 Similar scenes have occurred four times today. Except for the first successful fraud by Lorraine, the following three Romance waited steadily on the spot, giving Valkyrie the most warm reception to the tarmac with a rare stillness.

　　 Lorraine really knows himself hard.

He now has no artillery body, no speed blessing, and even large-angle changes can be avoided or avoided. If he wants to keep the distance from the enemy ship under such conditions, all he can do is to control the enemy. The boat is used as a headland, artificially creating obstacles on the endless sea.

　　 In other words, get a round of beatings for a time of peace.

　　 From the previous two experiences, this period of peace generally lasts about five minutes, and the Queen Anne’s Vengeance, which is the slowest to reload, only takes four minutes to reload in a single time.

　　 This means that Blackbeard has chosen a relatively loose and orderly group warfare with full initiative.

His conservativeness greatly exceeded Lorraine’s expectations, so that Lorraine could not judge whether Valkyrie’s opening performance impressed him too much and made him hesitate, or he thought the victory was determined. , This meeting has already begun to consider the issue of controlling the cost of victory early.

　　 However, ┐(′-｀)┌

Regardless of whether Blackbeard is conceited or self-esteem, at least until Valkyrie really shows up, Lorraine does not need to think too much about the problem of being forcibly connected. This is the biggest and most fundamental thing. good news.

　　 There is still plenty of time, and Valkyrie doesn't have much preparation to do under the current situation. Lorraine thought for a while and was going to see the repair of the gun bay in person.

　　 There are four ways to enter the gun bay.

　　 For one, the layout of the fore and aft floor is staggered and independent from the main cabin, leaving only the hatch to the lower cabin on the bottom floor. Through these two doors, sailors can enter the bilge, and then through the bilge channel all the way up into the gun compartment.

　　Secondly, there is an unloading hatch for manpower transmission in front of the main mast, which connects the enclosed upper deck, gun tank, and cargo tank from top to bottom, and leads directly to the bottom tank. The mechanism for opening the transmission is also in the bottom tank.

　　 Third, in front of the steering wheel, the hatch between the closed upper deck and the rear mast is the only open-air hatch in the gun compartment. It is very convenient to get in and out, but it is not convenient for Lorraine to go from the front deck to the rear deck.

　　 The fourth hatch is located on the inside of the foremast, hidden in the closed upper deck not far from the entrance and exit. It is not only convenient for entry and exit, but also not far from the current location of Lorraine.

　　 Lorraine chose the nearest one of course.

　　 He entered through the hatch, and saw that the mess on the upper deck had been cleaned up. The original 24-pound short gun was gone, leaving only the empty and packed gun cart and the bloodstains on the ground that were about to dry.

　　 Stepping on the bloodstain, he went down to the gun bay and saw more than 30 gun tubes of various lengths tied to the ground by ropes like panpipes. They were scattered and jagged, and they seemed to have a strange beauty.

　　 Karen was arranging work at the stern of the cabin farthest from Lorraine, and when he saw Lorraine descending, he hurried up with Acharin to greet him.

　　 "Captain, I am going to find you."

　　 Lorraine's eyes lit up: "Is it adjusted?"

　　 "Unreliable temporary measures." Karen said regretfully, "but we still have no ability to restore the upper and lower cabins to their original conditions. For the time being, this is the only effective measure we can do."

　　 "I want to start..." Lorraine patted Karen's arm, comfortingly said, "At least, if we keep going against the regular navy, we might never be aware of this hidden danger."

　　 "After being comforted by you, my mood worsened."

The environment of the gun bay was terrible. Karen racked his brains and could only barely secure the advance and retreat space for a few guns. There were three remaining guns on the port side and five on the starboard side. All the 24 pounds of the enclosed deck were made into equipment. It was heavy, and none of them were able to stay.

　　 What’s more troublesome is that this is just the space for the gun. It also requires ammunition and gunpowder to fire. It is unrealistic to carry a group of groups from the corner of the cabin. It is unrealistic to pull it in advance to occupy the space for advance and retreat.

　　 Karen is going to let Yacharin separate out a few empty boxes to rectify the ammunition in advance, and temporarily place them on the barrel as needed. Acharin was very reluctant, but he couldn't offer more operative opinions for a while except for fixing the box with a rope.

　　 Lorraine can only continue to play a comforting role.

He told Yacharin from the perspective of safety production that reducing the number of shots and improving shooting accuracy can effectively reduce the incidence of accidents. Therefore, Yacharin only needs to achieve one shot per ship, and the battle can be ended within five shells. .

　　Acharin wondered if he had auditory hallucinations...

　　 "Captain, what did you just say? One cannon, one cannon, five cannons sink all enemy ships, including the Queen Anne's Revenge?"

　　 Lorraine opened his eyes with a guilty conscience: "It's okay, aren't you Acharin with a hundred shots..."

　　 "This is a big problem!"

　　 "Ah! Karen!" Acharin's voice was louder, Lorraine's voice was louder than him, "So my Valkyrie has regained his fighting ability, right?"

"The wave resistance is about 90%, the balance is 70%, and the speed is 80%." Karen looked at the budget data. "At the moment there is only the verification effect. Valkyrie needs to pull the speed to eight knots, and then quickly drop to three knots. No more than 10 degrees of steering, as long as the hull can be stabilized, we can operate normally before these counterweights fall apart."

　　 Lorraine squinted his eyes: "If you check it, is it better to add shelling?"

　　 "Join the bombardment?" Karen and Acharin looked at each other, "Are you planning to..."

　　……

　　 Valkyrie stopped motion for the first time. She stopped at sea, her sails were closed, only the stern sail and the half-opened stern sail were kept, and she started turning awkwardly.

　　 Even in an undamaged state, carrying out such maneuvers is not Valkyrie’s expertise, because her aspect ratio is too large, and the slender hull is far inferior in stability to mainstream ships in the current world.

　　 The black beard held his sight glass and said nothing.

　　 After a short while, Semras and Zani came together because of their cooperation.

　　 Blackbeard put down his sight glass: "Semras, what do you think Bai Zhi intends to do?"

"Dying struggling." Semras sneered. "His tortoise shell is so hard that it can't penetrate even Queen Anne's 32 pounds. But the shell is a shell, and his claws are injured. No matter how hard the shell is, it cannot be protected. He has a peaceful life."

　　 "According to this, he should run away. Why should he turn his head and turn his head on the spot?"

"Because he can't escape." Semras replied confidently, "In the previous half an hour, Baizhi's flagship had only fired six guns, five to starboard, one gun on the bow, port and one on the stern. "

"Baizhi doesn't like to use the stern gun, because he is an offensive fighter, and the ship is rarely pursued. But the port side is the focus of our offensive. There is only one reason for not firing a shot, that is, port side is paralyzed. "

　　 "I have another data here. In the previous half an hour, Valkyrie was shot 28 times, with an average speed of 4 knots, 5 big turns above 10 degrees, and 0 at full rudder turns."

　　 "It can be seen that the scope of Bai Zhi's paralysis is far beyond the port side. It should be a big problem with the stability of the hull, which caused problems with shelling, steering, and acceleration."

　　 "He can't escape. Not only can't escape, he can't even do basic evasion. He can only float on the sea, waiting for us to be weakened by a cannon until it is penetrated and sunk."

"So he wants to save himself." Semras drew a circle in the air, "Today's wind is southerly. After turning around, you can cut into the tailwind better and try to increase his speed when breaking through. If I estimate it well, this The increase is about 2 to 3 knots, which means that Baizhi’s armored ship is likely to reach a speed of 7 knots, which is barely the same as ours."

　　 "But is it possible for him to complete a U-turn in a state of engagement? It's difficult!"

　　 "The distance required for a small arc to turn around is too long, and it is almost impossible to be interrupted by our intentions. In order to make his dreams come true, Bai Zhi can only choose to take risks and turn around!"

　　Semras used three affirmative sentences in a row, and then laughed out loud.

　　 "Commander, Bai Zhi's squareness has been messed up! This stupid action is more ridiculous than self-deception. As long as we block his way, we can end this war easily and become the unique hero in the pirate world!"

　　 "Head, we are determined to win!"

Exciting shouting, suppressed excitement, Blackbeard could feel the pride and joy of Samras. After all, he discovered the strangeness of Valkyrie first. Lorraine was forced to the point where this dog jumped the wall quickly. He is a think tank. Great credit.

　　 But Black Beard still has a vaguely strange intuition in his heart. He always feels something violates, but he can't express it accurately.

　　 He turned his head to Zanin.

　　 The short shadow warrior hugged the railing on tiptoe, frowning.

　　 "Leader, I can't refute Semras's words. His previous judgments have been very accurate~lightnovelpub.net~ It is his ingenuity that made us turn defeat into victory, occupying a comprehensive advantage..."

　　 "But the opposite is the white flag...It's the Lorraine Drake...I just think that when blocking the block, the Queen Anne's Vengeance should not be too close to Valkyrie."

　　 "Lorraine Drake was never really panicked, even in San Carlos, we didn't get any benefit from him."

　　 "Leave yourself some leeway... In case everything before this is a trap of his deliberate deliberations, at least we still have a choice so that we won't be defeated."

　　 "Head, this is my only suggestion."

　　 After finishing speaking, Zani shut his mouth.

　　 As the two people that Blackbeard relies on most in resourcefulness, he and Semras have fully expressed their opinions. Although their positions are completely different, there is no reason to continue to argue.

　　 Blackbeard will have his own judgment. Every cadre of the pirate group knows that his king has always been a dictator.

　　 Blackbeard raised his sight glass again, looking at the embarrassing look of Valkyrie turning his head in the distance, watching quietly, without saying a word.

　　 has been waiting for the U-turn to be completed, the horizontal sails are raised, and he finally gives the order.

　　 "Each ship carried out the double-teaming tactics, and after the shelling, the Valkyrie was forcibly connected."

　　 "Semras, you do the part of the formation, remember to put Queen Anne's Vengeance on the outer line on the port side..."

"……Yes!"
