One-to-four, black eats black, and in all fairness, this kind of scene is quite common among pirates.

Of course, the so-called "common" is definitely a relative concept that is not very rigorous.

It is like a simple marine food chain. Sharks can prey on the lower sea lions, seals, cod and herring according to their preferences, but unless the sharks are weakened to a certain degree, even if the sharks are alone, it is basically impossible for people to see the cod swarms. It showed its fangs.

Bellamy is the shark in the pirate empire. Although Mr. Nutria, who has successfully squeezed into the big pirate, may not be regarded as a cod, after all, his debut is shallow, and at best, it is at most a few young seals who do not know the world.

Young seals besieged the badly injured shark, and now it is such a wonderful picture that is presented on the ocean.

"Warning! Bombed on the starboard side!"

Boom, boom boom boom!

"Zuo Man Ruo! Avoid it!"

With an order, the Vader quickly turned to the left following the wind, cutting out a high wall of water on the sea.

The red-hot iron bullet smashed in from the upper edge of the water wall, bursting out a large cloud of steam, and then broke the wall, dragging the long tail to the bow of the ship.

The artillery of the pirates is much worse than that of regular navy or privateer merchants with military ancestry.

But correspondingly, the water that Vinda evades is like that. The sideboard is full of direct attack on the bow, which means that the gunboat is in a parallel position that is at least half the hull ahead of Vinda.

At this time, the best circumvention plan is to lower the sail to slow down, completely exit the sea area of ​​the projectile, and then approach the left rudder at a small angle to give up a part of the projectile space, retaining its own speed and flexibility.

The wide-angle right rudder cut is not the worst option, but it is too rigid.

During the evasion process, the ship has to traverse the whole area of ​​the impact area diagonally, and the route to be switched is easily predicted by the opponent. The lost angle of the wind will also lose speed, and the result is worthless.

The cannonballs filled with gunpowder flew toward the Vader like flowers, some landed on the starboard side, and some jumped over the deck and landed on the port side. The sky was covered with water, and Vader's speed slowed down. From a distance, it seemed as if the entire vessel was trapped in artillery fire.

boom!

There was a roar in the mist, and the Vader counterattacked, blasting out of the mist with its cannon.

The ability of its fleet on the pilot side is first-rate. It finds a new angle of wind cutting in the blink of an eye. The speed is raised again and again in a short period of time. When the water mist is forced out, the bulging sails have already raised the speed to six. Section, basically restored to the state before full rudder.

However, it is not only Vinda who possesses excellent sailing skills.

After a moment's delay, two of the nutria's baggs came up from behind, one left and the other launched a pincer attack on Vader.

Vinda has no room to evade, and the three ships are parallel to the 50-meter-wide sea surface, and the more dexterous Bagg is able to chase.

"Bounded on both sides!" the watchman howled sternly, "Deck hit!"

Boom boom boom boom! Boom boom boom boom!

During the close-range artillery bombardment, the two Baghs unanimously chose chain bullets and mainmast. Dozens of chain bullets were opened in mid-air and flew to the upper deck of the full-sailed Vida like an Indian catapult.

Nowhere to flash, nowhere to avoid, nowhere to wear!

Bellamy looked at the gun smoke rising from the enemy ship with cold eyes, and waved his hand suddenly: "Let it go!"

So far, the two sides of the guns that have been sounded only a few times have fired at the same time.

The nutria's chain bullet smashed the barrage, and the kinetic energy had dissipated seven or eighty-eight. The blow from the original must-center suddenly vented his momentum, fell slantingly, and smashed into the sea weakly, hitting the hull of the ship.

For the first time, Lorraine, who was watching the game from a distance, gave birth to a bright feeling.

"Tsk tusk, the lean camel is bigger than the horse. Yazha, have you seen the means of interception?"

Yacharin narrowed his mouth and put down the sight glass: "There are only so many cannons, and the rate of fire is also fixed. We can only choose the same whether it is offensive or defensive."

"You are sophistry." Lorraine raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"I can't guilty of using artillery for this kind of clumsy sophistry. We are talking about the issue of using a sword or a shield. Smart people know that the sword can kill the enemy once and for all, and the shield can only keep us from being killed by the enemy temporarily. die."

"I remember Leif smashed many people with a shield..."

Acharin looked black: "Shot can also be used to wash the deck!"

"Aha."

Lorraine was persuaded by his excellent gunner that the rate of fire and firepower of the former guns was indeed not suitable for building a special defensive barrage like later ships.

Bellamy's artillery method is based on completely sacrificing the ability of both sides of the attack, like standing by the sidelines, but the result is only barely able to withstand the chain bomb attack.

The impact of chain bullets is far inferior to that of solid bullets. Looking at the disability state just now, Lorraine can guess that the effect of this defense on solid bullets is probably very limited.

Of course, pirates with the purpose of looting would not favor solid bullets as much as Lorraine. The story of Orange Sheng Huainan was still understandable.

Bellamy, who had escaped with his ingenious command, was killed out of the double-team, and the right rudder went straight to Bagh on the starboard side, and the upper chain shot mixed shots.

The two sides were only ten meters away, and the scattered projectiles swept across the deck, blood and brains spread all over the ship.

Bagh's front sail burned, and the pirate in the cabin slid and threw out to rescue him. Taking advantage of the opponent's loss of control, the Vader cut out like stitches.

There are only three ships left!

Mr. Nutria’s flagship has been falling to the surface of the sea two kilometers away, and the two nearby Baghs are on the port side. The starboard side of the Vader is open, and the high-quality wind angle has been recovered, and the windward advantage of the Galenian is becoming more and more obvious.

"It seems that there is no chance for us to play..." Lorraine sighed depressed, "Battlefield distance?"

"18 kilometers!" The observation deck's reply was a bit unusually fast, with a weird tone and weird data.

"18 kilometers? We chased for an hour, but the distance was only shortened by 8 kilometers? Less than 5 nautical miles?"

"A distance of 18 kilometers, the shadow of the ship is found in the southwest and west. It is recognized that the Galen-type destroyer II, the Brigentine III, and the Brig-type I, a total of six ships, are outflanking the right wing of the Vader! The flag is judged... The Pirate King Hound Henry!"

The observation platform was quiet.

Acharin pulled a long tone and looked at Lorraine with a hip smile that was 100% restored.

"Mr. Captain, what are your feelings now?"

"I feel..." Lorraine clutched his chin and thought for a long time. "During the war of association, none of these pirate kings jumped out. Did we make a profit? Or did we lose?"

...

Blocking the tiger before, chasing the wolf afterwards, Bellamy and his Vader, who had just escaped from the danger, fell into a more dangerous situation in a blink of an eye.

A pearl-like white line is attached to the sea. The south-western end of the white line is the fleet of Henry the Hounds from south to north, the Sixth Ship.

On the route less than 5 kilometers away from them is the Vinda, which is advancing rapidly from north to south. She has always been on the best cutting wind line, and the chasing soldiers behind her let her take care of her front, and she is advancing towards the hound's trap pig.

Their relative speed reached more than 10 knots, and it only took less than 15 minutes to bump into each other. Guinness nutria’s two baggs are clinging one kilometer behind Vinda. The speeds of the two sides are almost the same. In the current wind conditions, Galen has only the advantage of acceleration, but can’t compete for the highest speed lead. .

2 kilometers after Bagh is the flagship of Nutria~lightnovelpub.net~ that lingering Galen-type destroyer. Lorraine remembered her name was the Virgin Cigar. She once belonged to a good Spanish Chamber of Commerce with the three Baghs. A year ago she was a slave ship specializing in the East Africa to Cuba route.

Now the chamber of commerce has long gone bankrupt, and the man who stood up on the remains of the chamber of commerce was Gini the nutria.

The Virgin Cigar passed by the Baga ship with its front sail on fire. The nutria and his little mice fanatically drove their prey, but they were ridiculously ignoring the threat of the cardinals just like their prey.

A distance of 8 kilometers, a relative speed of 4 knots, facing each other, Valkyrie raised her sharp bow at the end of the necklace.

"It is estimated to surpass Bagh of Nutria in 20 minutes and enter the main battlefield in 60 minutes!"

"All staff are transferred to Level 2 combat readiness!"

"Starboard loading!!!"

"The captain's order, get out of the enemy with one blow, and Valkyrie will drive the battlefield directly, no nostalgia!"

"All ships, assault!"
