Six Hundred and Forty-Six Success Rate: Zero

The heavy hammer hits the wall, and the steel cone breaks the mountain.

Even if only 16 guns and 24 pounds on one side can be used, even if today's weather is very unfriendly to bombardment, whether it is at Pier 17 or the current northern waters, Neptune has proved a reality with his careless bombardment from above .

The golden age of piracy and the US Navy is over. The so-called post-golden age is just a game between pirates and merchants. In the eyes of the real top navy in the world, it is nothing.

Neptune cut into the battlefield like a behemoth, from east to west, from south to north.

The Jershkogul regiment blocked her route. She passed straight through, drove the pirate ship to the side with the bow gun, and covered the sea surface where the pirate ship was and might sail with the broadside gun.

Perhaps this is the true meaning of Yili Jiangshihui.

At a distance of 50 to 300 meters, a fleet like Neptune, which is regarded as the core of the battle line no matter which fleet or battlefield it is in, shows breathtaking bombardment stability in front of friends and enemies.

It is fast and accurate, and every shot does not pursue absolute hits, but the shells all over the sky are intertwined with each other, and finally form a big net with nowhere to hide.

The armed merchant ships of the Viking Pirates were not worthy of Neptune's attention. Those Brigantine, Brig, Bagg, and even the five-level Galen with oak ships were like paper in front of 24 pounds. Just poke and break.

Lorraine saw this kind of powerlessness in Lefrancois back then. The strength of the fleet was far inferior to that of the pirates in Golden Deer back then. Of course, they were even more powerless, hopelessly powerless.

Twenty minutes, nine rounds of bombardment, Neptune sank a Brigantine, injured a Brigantine, and a Bagg, and Jershkogul cooperated with the frigate bird to destroy the injured Brigentine. , Rurik, who followed Neptune's ass, picked up the leak and sank another Brig who was in a panic.

The Eastern Front collapsed, and the Jerschkogul Fleet and the Rurik reorganized their wingspans, naturally guarding the Neptune in the center, and rushed towards the Eriksson in the middle of the battlefield like a dark cloud.

The balance of the battlefield suddenly turned to Drake. The Vikings sank 3 ships, disabled 2 ships, and escaped 2 ships. The situation of 12 to 9 suddenly became 5 to 11, and the outcome suddenly lost suspense. .

Bonnet squinted his eyes and stared at Neptune, who was floating like a mountain, his pupils turned red bit by bit.

"Eugene." He picked up a large metal crossbow with an arm span of more than 1.5 meters from the deck, pulled the winch against his lower abdomen, and said hoarsely to his first officer, "Order the Copper Helm to come closer to us no matter the cost."

"Regardless of the cost?" Eugene stared, "Captain, the Erickson is not fast enough. If you wait for the bronze helmet to come close, you will die..."

"Let the Copper Helm hold Drake's two new ships."

The crossbow string made of steel wire and copper wire clicked and locked, and Bonnet pulled out a ring tail and inserted it into the groove, and skillfully passed the rope through the ring tail.

"It turns out that this crossbow was prepared for Lorraine and his Valkyries..." he said, "They thought the outcome was decided, but they didn't know that they were running towards the cliff."

"We will have the last laugh! The copper helmet only needs to drag the two new ships for half an hour, and I will give you a chance to join them!"

Eugene's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Captain, you...are you planning to..."

"That new flagship that is as high as a mountain, do you like it?"

...

Mystra, aft deck.

In fairness, the sudden rescue of Neptune and Rurik not only caught the pirates by surprise, but even the sailors of the first formation were at a loss.

Primary and secondary,

Advance and retreat, offense and defense?

Group naval battles have never been gangsters fighting in the streets and alleys. When the gangsters are evenly matched in the tea restaurant, Chen Haonan rushing in is doing it, and so is Bruce Lee rushing in.

If it happens to be Clark Kent who rushes in... the result is not reversed. For the gangster, he still has to do what he should do.

Because the nature of group fights is chaotic, even if there are hundreds of people in chaos, what everyone needs to worry about is always their own one-acre three-point land. No matter how strong a helping hand is, it will only be when he hits his side. At other times, [he] is just setting a powerful background board.

The army is very different in this regard, especially in the era of online ranks, when both sides face to face and line up to shoot, the soldiers in the front line, the back line, and the comrades in the same line will all have an impact on the life and death of the soldiers. In the same way, the life, death and performance of soldiers will also have an impact on the entire line. Surviving is not necessarily better than being shot, at least not necessarily better for the group.

The characteristics of this kind of parts are infinitely magnified in naval battles where there are few participating units, high fault tolerance, and large differences in strength.

Every ship has a mission, every ship has a role, every ship has value, how to arrange the ships in the most suitable position, how to make the same fleet produce the strongest chemical reaction, this process is tactics.

Tactics are fundamental.

The strength that is free from tactics may not be able to exert her strength. Even if it is invincible firepower, if every shot accidentally hits teammates, this firepower will not produce any beneficial value for the team.

Because of this, a monster like the Neptune suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and immediately intervened in the battle like no one else, which actually did more harm than good to most battle groups.

She will break the previous complete rhythm of one's own side, and will destroy one's own formation. If the soldiers' fighting will is not firm enough, they will even be confused, hesitant, and do not know how to advance or retreat.

But fortunately, the leader of the first formation is Favna Hanji.

Favna responded as soon as the lookout found the Neptune, and without any hesitation, she directly ordered the Jeershkogur fleet to disperse.

This is certainly not the right choice.

Because the purpose of the reinforcements is to rescue, and Favna's order is to abandon the battle, leaving a scene of fighting alone for the dear reinforcements.

But this is the most correct choice right now.

There is a huge difference in strength between the Jershkogur Fleet and the Neptune, and the elite navy and elite privateers have nothing in common. Instead of letting unfamiliar parties entangle and get in the way, one of them chooses to quit to let the other. Best solution with all efforts.

Neptune rewarded Favna for her risky decision, so after taking the Eastern Front with ease, Favna immediately ordered the fleet to merge with the Neptune, spread its wings, and completely handed over the right to choose opponents to powerful comrades-in-arms.

Facts have proved that Valrhona has succeeded again.

Breathing the free air, the Neptune chose to push flat, and the next target was the flagship of the Vikings, the Erickson.

From the moment the target was determined, Favna entered the state of retreat and deep rope.

Eriksson was completely different from the pirates before the Eastern Front. The two sides fought for nearly two hours. Eriksson had Mistral's cannon marks on his body, and Mistral also had Eriksson's marks.

The number of shots taken by both sides is not many, but the feedback information is enough for Favna to see the essence of Eriksson. This is a super ship that is quite different from the Mystra, but it is also good at hand-to-hand combat and good at domination. destroyer.

The defensive effects of the two sides are almost the same, but Mystra's defense is external, and the stronger the firepower it faces, the less durable it is, while Eriksson's firepower is his own, and he will not collapse even if he faces a real battleship.

Not only that, Eriksson's firepower is far more powerful than Mystra's, and the hull is heavier and more stable than Mystra's. Although the speed is slow, the response is not bad.

If Mystra is an elf designed to dance with Valkyrie, then Eriksson wants to play Valkyrie itself, a fully weakened Valkyrie, a pirate fleet suitable for good and bad Valkyrie at the core.

There is a price to be paid for underestimating such a ship, especially since Eriksson has Bonet, the trump card of the board, and Favna must not sit back and watch Neptune, who knows nothing about the enemy, fall into the trap.

She thought hard, not to interfere with the Neptune's combat habits, but also to provide practical help and participate in the battle situation.

The sea chart was filled with messy curves by her, and some of them had merged into colored shadows. Except for herself, no one could see the clues from this picture.

But before she could come up with a tactic that had the best of both worlds, Anne was already galloping up to the deck panting, "Vavna!"

Favna looked up blankly: "Annie, what's wrong?"

"Look at the Erickson!"

"look?"

"She gave up the battle!" Annie yelled, pointing at the thick ship shadow hundreds of meters away. I rushed over as if I was there, no damage at all!"

"Western Front... Erickson..." Favna's eyes were blurred, and she had already completed the deduction in her brain in a short period of time, "On the Western Front, only the Galen has a chance of survival, paying such a high price, Eriksson was trying to..."

"Erickson and Neptune's relative speed is 8.5 knots, facing each other, approaching!"

"The distance between the two ships is 500...300...250..."

"Nipton's bow shot, missed!"

"Erickson fights back!"

hum!

The soft chirping mixed with the sound of the cannon resounded throughout. Favna obviously couldn't hear it, but felt that she could hear it clearly.

She muttered to herself in disbelief.

"Erickson wants to forcefully board Neptune, but the success rate of boarding... 0!"
