Reborn As a Pirate

　　 England, go forward!

　　 This is the new battle number of the Broken Crossing Fleet, used to refer to the Three Chamber of Commerce Alliance, which has no suitable name so far, and is familiar to every sailor in the fleet.

　　 There are only six Brigantines in the fleet now, with no weaknesses or weaknesses. Each one looks like a strong, flexible, and brave ship.

　　 This is also the way Lorraine dared to face the enemy at the downwind.

　　 He knew well that compared to a comprehensive and huge merchant fleet, a broken fleet is more suitable for chaotic warfare.

　　The war begins.

Following Lorraine’s order, the butterfly flower took the lead to straighten the bow. The slender bow pointed directly at the huge shadow of the ship in the distance. Henna jumped up from the observation deck with a rope, took the steering wheel from the sailor and controlled it. Battleship.

　　 The battleship behind him spread out like flowers.

Cattail and Cod fold to the south, Hurricane and Showers fold to the north, and the brave Raven commanded his flagship Tuna to catch up, cutting into the back of the Pansy from the side, like a loyal guard, Follow closely behind the butterfly flower.

　　 Six battleships, three battle groups, each of which had a similar front and rear structure, with Hurricane, Pansy, and Cattail rushing forward, followed by Shower, Tuna, and Cod.

　　 The distance between them is only 100 meters, and the distance between the battle groups is larger, which is only more than one kilometer.

　　 opened the distance between the battle group and the battle group, all the ships straightened the bow, facing the enemy warship coming at high speed with their own front.

　　 This is the B strategy Lorraine said.

　　 Since the development of battleships, the rules of naval warfare in various countries have long been mature.

　　 The key to everything is to seize the upper hand with a dense horizontal or column, and show the sideboard before the enemy completes the formation.

　　 This kind of marching front is often only one, and in very rare cases there will be two.

　　 One front is called T-type tactics, and two horizontal lines are called two-ship tactics.

　　 But that is not suitable for Brigantine.

　　 In a regular battle, frigates equipped with small-caliber artillery were not originally included in the battle line, because their advantage lies in flexibility, and traditional tactics would kill their greatest advantage.

　　 The battle group method of frigate is different, and its guiding ideology is interspersed, double-teamed, fights more with less, and fights with each other shortly.

　　 is like this B strategy.

The 　　 marching formation is a variant of the navy’s traditional dense horizontal formations. They are separated like a trident, forming a sharp battle group directly inserted into the enemy’s array, avoiding traditional and rigid battle lines.

　　 His changes caught the Yodel Chamber of Commerce off guard.

They originally planned to form a straight battle line on the wide front to give full play to the advantages of the large number of ships, the upper wind, and the strong side fire. However, the speed of the two sides approached too fast. As the broken fleet rushed forward, it further enlarged the two sides. Relative speed.

　　 Three kilometers, six minutes.

　　 Their battle line was too late to unfold. Five Brigentine rushed forward at full speed, and six Skuner-type ships, which were slower, fell far behind.

　　 The ships are still in the process of loose and chaotic formation, and the broken fleet has been inserted straight into the gap between the ships, passing them!

　　 "Sturdy! Fire!"

　　 One after another command blew up on the decks of both sides, and the more fully prepared fleet broke the cross and fired the cannon first. The orange flames bloomed on both sides, and the guns blasted in unison!

　　 Boom boom boom boom!

　　The guns roared, and the warships on both sides were chaotically like intertwined canine teeth. The Pansy and the Tuna sandwiched the Dutch flagship from left to right, and they themselves were trapped in the double-teaming of three Brigentine ships of the same level.

　　 The red projectile smashed into the hull, and the nine-pound iron projectile smashed the ship board. For a moment, water splashed and sawdust flew across.

　　 The hull shook violently, and Lorraine's feet were firmly rooted on the deck, pulling his throat and shouting loudly.

　　 "Lower the sail! Slow down the ship! Time is life, gentlemen! Run away!"

　　Lorraine's order has been faithfully implemented, and it's not just the butterfly flower number.

　　According to the tactical manual, all six warships in the broken fleet lowered the huge sails that supported the movement as soon as they met the enemy, relying only on the sails in the middle of the masts and the bow jibs to control the hull, retaining the steering.

　　 Disadvantages suddenly become advantages!

　　 At the beginning of the battle, the Yordel Chamber of Commerce was at the upper air vent, and the broken fleet was at the lower air vent. This brave interspersion pulled the two sides into a line. If the Yordel Chamber of Commerce did not slow down, it would completely lose its advantage on the air vent.

　　 Even the Lorraine fleet is more tidy.

　　 If Yordel’s front-line warship dared to break through the double-team by the wind, Lorraine could order the fleet to swing sideways and cut the uneven formation of opponents into two with a complete battle line.

　　 In this way, those Brigentine battleships can escape to the sky, and the Skuna type that falls behind will also become fish on the cutting board of Lorraine.

　　 The Yodel Chamber of Commerce has no choice.

　　Cut off the horizontal sails and gather the vertical sails. The Brigentine in the front row gave up breaking through and started a confrontation with the broken fleet. The Scuna type in the back row spread out on both wings and used the advantage of quantity to provide fire support to the two wing fronts.

　　 From south to north, the front line formed a similar stalemate.

At the north and south ends, the Cod and Cattail Flower cooperated, and the Hurricane and Shower cooperated. They respectively trapped a Brigentine of the Yordel Chamber of Commerce, and there were three more Scunas belonging to the Yordel. Artillery Roaring, strangling a ball.

In the middle of the battle line, the five Brigantines fought fiercely, followed by the Yordel Turandot, Drake Pansy, Yordel-Free Tulip, Mindell-Tuna, and Yordel-Xielan No., with canine teeth intertwined, and the artillery fire continued.

　　 Being in it, the sailors couldn't even tell whether they surrounded the flagship of the Yordle Chamber of Commerce, or whether the Yordle Chamber of Commerce used the flagship as the axis to surround the admiral and the deputy admiral who divided the fleet.

　　 Artillery became the only protagonist on the battlefield.

　　 On the port side of the No. 2 gun on the gun deck, Acharin held the cross and mumbled a prayer to God.

　　 He has fired seven shots today, two hits and five misses. Compared to the distance of about 80 meters from the Turandot, this hit rate is enough to prove his superb artillery skills.

　　 It's a pity that the effect is almost nothing.

　　From a big point of view, the middle front is the main axis of the entire battlefield, gathering five of the eleven Brigantines from both sides. The victory or defeat here will determine the direction of the entire encounter.

　　 From the perspective of personal interests, the Pansy is surrounded by Turandot and Liberty Tulip. The distance from Liberty Tulip is less than 50 meters, and the distance from Turandot is 80 meters. The two sides exchange fire.

　　The artillery skill of the English sailors is the best in the world. Like this state, which is about the same as stopping the ship and shooting, the firing frequency of the artillery can reach one and a half minutes to two minutes.

　　 But this favorable condition for gun handling is mutual. The Dutch's rate of fire has also been brought to the extreme due to the stalemate on the front. There will be one shelling in about two to three minutes.

　　The Butterfly Flower is shelled almost every minute, with a total of 16 shells in each round. Under the evasion of Henna and Karen, the hit rate is less than 5%.

So far, the butterfly flower has been sturdy enough to endure three shots~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The most thrilling one is the second shot hammer, which crossed the ship’s side, passed the mainmast, and blasted on the main deck, killing one. Unlucky sailing sailor.

　　 The Butterfly Flower urgently needs to relieve the pressure. This important task can only fall on him and the nine-pounder gun in front of him.

　　 The sailors quickly completed filling, loading the ammunition, plugging in the hairline, and the gun cart in place.

　　 Yacharin squinted his eyes and knelt down on one knee. Through the small gun bay, he stared at the swaying Turandot in the distance.

　　 "Go tell the Egyptian woman who is playing with the knife, I want to be steady, let her maintain this shooting angle... at least three rounds of shelling."

　　The gunner by his side rushed to the main deck.

　　Acharin’s target was between the 2nd and 3rd gun positions of the Turandot.

　　 There was a shot there earlier, and the hull was damaged, and there were obvious charred black and dents.

　　 This position is five to seven degrees ahead of Yacharin, and the elevation angle is close to zero. However, if you want to penetrate the hull, the appropriate impact point is only less than two meters.

　　In the shaky sea, such harsh conditions are like...

　　 "It's like trying to trick a beautiful lady into bed by just writing a letter."

　　 Yacharin spit out the cross in his mouth, and with the help of the gunner, he adjusted the angle little by little.

　　The short wind flat...

　　 At the time when the ship's shaking was the smallest, Acharin quickly lit the hairline, only a bang was heard, and the projectile fell on the sea less than three meters away from the Turandot, setting off a huge wave that covered the sky between the two ships.

　　 "Hey, I know that writing letters can't win the hearts of beauties, let alone snobbish Dutch beauties..."

　　 He took a sip, stood up, and ordered the gunner beside him: "Clean the gun barrel and load live ammunition. Raise the gun elevation by 0.5 degrees. Next shot, I will turn over the balcony."
