Section 582

There are three major pirate groups in the Sea Lion Kingdom, the Tiger Pirates, the Wolf Pirates, and the Fire Pirates.

The Fire Pirates ranked third, which shows that their strength is far beyond that of the Wind Pirates.

Two days later, Qin Feng's fleet slowly sailed out of the pirate port and headed towards the home of the Fire Pirates.

This trip to sea was different from the last time.

There is not only the Golden Meili, but also the Sea Breeze, which was transformed into an armed merchant ship, and two medium-sized mast sailing warships, the Left King and the Right King.

If other fellow pirates knew that Qin Feng and his four battleships wanted to challenge the famous and third-ranked Fire Pirates, they would definitely laugh out loud.

The Fire Pirates are a giant force with dozens of large battleships, dozens of medium-sized battleships, and hundreds of small battleships.

Just four battleships trying to suppress the Fire Pirates would seem to the uninformed to be overestimating their capabilities.

…

The Golden Merli is extremely fast.

But for the sake of the overall formation of the fleet, full force was not used.

Even so, after traveling for three days, we arrived at the Fire Pirates' [Working Territory].

That is in the far west of the Sea Lion Kingdom, in the waters adjacent to the Manatee Kingdom and Sea Cats. It is worth mentioning that the three major pirate groups of the Sea Lion Kingdom are all in the nearby waters.

Because it is the junction of three oceanic countries, it is a place of great controversy. The three major oceanic countries restrain each other, giving the three big pirate groups natural opportunities to develop.

Qin Feng's fleet did not travel long before it was discovered by the patrol ship of the Fire Pirates.

On the patrol ship, several pirates were stunned for a moment when they saw such a huge thing as the Golden Meili. They thought it was the naval battle legion of the Sea Lion Kingdom coming to destroy them, but when they saw the Golden Merli The black flag hung by the Meili made my heart suddenly relax.

Black Flag...the ones coming are not the Marine Corps, but fellow pirates!

However, it cannot be simply assumed that sometimes naval battle legions will pretend to be pirates.

The patrol vessel was immediately on alert, sailing directly in front of the Golden Melly, waving flags.

"Stop, stop, stop! Please tell me the name of the unknown battleship. Which pirate group does it belong to? Do you have a token? What are you doing here!"

Soon, the content of the flag language was informed to Qin Feng by his subordinates.

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and without thinking, said directly: "Don't pay attention, knock him over!"

When the patrol ship of the Fire Pirates saw that the Golden Meri did not respond, the pirates on the ship suddenly felt a thump in their hearts and had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

"Let's go, let's go back. The person who came here is not good. Go back and report to the leader!" The patrol leader immediately said to the men around him.

The patrol ship turned around and was about to leave quickly, but at this moment, the speed of the Golden Meili suddenly accelerated!

The pirates couldn't understand it, and it was coming at a super speed like a sharp arrow.

Qin Feng is a person with the God of War skills, which can increase the speed of all his warships to an incredible level.

The Golden Meili was originally fast, but with the addition of Qin Feng's passive skills, it was already incredibly fast.

boom! ! !

Not surprisingly, the Golden Meili easily caught up with the patrol vessel.

Compared with the Golden Melly, patrol boats are like inconspicuous ants and dust, while Golden Melly is like an elephant and a boulder.

Before the collision, just the waves split by the Golden Meili submerged the entire patrol ship. Then, like the sky tilting, the battleship's hull easily crushed the patrol ship into two pieces...

This scene happened to be seen by an armed ship not far away, and it was immediately frightened and turned around and ran away.

At the same time, the armed ships began to fire into the air several times to warn the island of an enemy invasion.

In the command room.

Qin Feng was studying the map and didn't care at all about the scene just now.

When he learned that the fleet was only fifty nautical miles away from the Fire Pirates at this moment, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He called his men and said: "Send a signal to the fleet behind and ask them to follow with all their strength."

"Keep the fastest speed and quickly attack the Fire Pirates' home island!"

"Yes, boss!" The subordinates took the order and quickly carried out the instructions.

Qin Feng's passive skill does not affect individual ships, but the entire fleet, so the following ships can also keep up.

At this time, the Fire Pirates' main island had received news that an enemy had invaded, with only four battleships.

"Haha, four battleships dare to invade our Fire Pirates. They are simply desperate!" The leader of the Fire Pirates sneered.

"I just looked at it with a telescope. It's a very huge battleship, most likely a Sea Lion-class battleship." The second leader of the pirate group said cautiously: "Battleships should not be underestimated."

"Boss, second brother, I am willing to lead dozens of warships to suppress all the enemies!" the three leaders of the pirate group said immediately.

The big leader shook his head and said: "Let's go together this time. The second brother is right, the battleship cannot be underestimated... The most important thing is that it is a battleship. If we can capture it, it will definitely increase our strength greatly."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to organize all our strength in a short period of time." The second leader shook his head and sighed: "This is a sneak attack by the enemy, which really caught us off guard. If we mobilize all the battleships, even if the enemy comes with two battleships, we won't be able to get rid of them. good."

"It doesn't matter..." the big leader said: "With dozens of battleships, using wolf pack tactics is enough to deal with battleships."

"The boss is right!" The three leaders said confidently: "Naval warfare technology is the key to victory, and command ability is also very important. The three of us have fought our way out of the sea of ​​blood and corpses. There are only four warships, even if there are battleships, so what!"

...

The Fire Pirates also reacted quickly.

Soon, 5 large warships, 20 medium-sized warships, and 35 small rams sailed out of the port.

On the other side, with the addition of Qin Feng, the speed of his fleet was so fast that it soon reached the 20-nautical-mile range of the Fire Pirates' main island.

At this time, Qin Feng's fleet also met dozens of warships led by the Fire Pirates.

The Fire Pirates were shocked when they saw Qin Feng's fleet.

The speed of Qin Feng's fleet on the sea was too fast, too fast, so fast that it was beyond the reasonable range, which caught them off guard.

It was like a ship in the sailing era encountering a nuclear-powered ship, which was incredible.

At this time, the speed of Qin Feng's fleet suddenly stopped, and when it was 1 km away from the Fire Pirates, it suddenly tilted its hull, revealing rows of black cannons.

Chapter 432 Winning Point

!

"T-shaped tactics!"

The Golden Merry sent out a flag signal, and the Sea Breeze and the Left and Right Queens of the fleet behind immediately followed, and lined up with the Golden Merry, revealing sideways firepower.

The Qin Feng fleet is now in a straight line, while the Fire Pirates on the opposite side are in an [I] shape, and the two sides together form a T shape.

This is a very classic and typical naval warfare technique, almost a truth of naval warfare. Whoever can complete the straight line first, then the chance of winning can reach 90%.

Now the Qin Feng fleet has completed the straight line battle formation deployment first.

"Fire!" Qin Feng did not give the Fire Pirates on the opposite side any chance at all.

While forming a straight line battle formation, he immediately ordered to open fire. As his voice fell, the hundreds of guns on the Golden Merry, as well as the more than 100 guns on the three warships, the Sea Breeze, and the Left and Right King, opened fire almost at the same time.

Boom boom boom!!!

What a sight it is to have hundreds of guns firing at the same time? The sound of the guns firing at the same time shook the white clouds above and the ocean under the ship to stir up waves.

At the same time, hundreds of various shells, like a torrential rain, covered the sky and the sun, and fell mercilessly towards dozens of warships on the opposite side.

Although Qin Feng's fleet only had 4 warships at this time, the number of warships on the opposite side was 10 times his!

But so what... Qin Feng was going to fight them, whether it was a sneak attack or a head-on fight, he was not inferior to the opposite side.

With Qin Feng's bonus, the damage output of the hundreds of shells doubled. It was just one round of volleys...

Half of the 35 small rams of the Fire Pirates were lost. The ships were smashed to pieces by shells, and the pirates on the ships died together.

The fate of the 20 medium-sized warships was not much better. Often, a shell would cause a medium-sized warship to be severely damaged. The shells were like enchantments, easily penetrating the armored deck, and smashing through the bottom of the hull, causing seawater to flow back.

The first round of volleys of Qin Feng's fleet made the pirates of the Fire Pirates on the opposite side cry and doubt their lives.

"Damn it!" The leader of the Fire Pirates looked at the losses of his side with great heartache, gritting his teeth at the Golden Merry.

These ships and people are the assets accumulated bit by bit, and they were destroyed by the other side. It's really hateful.

"Quickly get out of the opponent's firepower range, adjust the route, move around the opponent's fleet, and occupy the winning point!"

Until now, the leader of the Fire Pirates has not given up the duel with Qin Feng, and he still has confidence in himself.

Now they are indeed at a disadvantage and are at Qin Feng's winning point, but naval warfare is about being flexible, and only by moving around and reoccupying the winning point...

It may not be impossible to turn the tables.

At the same time as the leader's warship sent out flag signals, his warship began to get out of the firepower range, and the second and third leaders also made adjustments after seeing the flag signals.

Immediately, the flag signal warships of the Fire Pirates also adjusted.

At the same time, the second round of artillery fire from Qin Feng's fleet is coming.

After the shells are loaded, the fuse of the shells is ignited, and the flames quickly devour the fuses, making a sizzling sound.

Boom boom boom! ! !

The second round of artillery coverage strikes from Qin Feng's fleet is coming, and hundreds of artillery pieces are firing again.

The harvest of this attack was not as great as the first one.

The first time, the opponent did not consider that Qin Feng would react so quickly and seized the key to the T-shaped victory first, so he suffered extremely serious damage.

This time, the opponent reacted and adjusted the strategy, while adjusting, he counterattacked Qin Feng's fleet.

On a warship, the firepower on the side of the ship is the most sufficient, and other places such as bow guns and stern guns are also available, but there are often only one or two guns.

The counterattack of the Fire Pirates is nothing more than the bow and stern shells of dozens of warships. With an average probability of one hundred shells hitting a warship, the counterattack of the Fire Pirates is so weak.

The second round of firepower of Qin Feng's warship hit, and the shells fell like raindrops.

At the same time, a large warship of the Fire Pirates, several medium-sized warships and several small rams were sunk.

In the command room.

Qin Feng used a monocular telescope and smiled slightly when he saw the adjustments made by the other side. When he saw a large battleship on the opposite side constantly waving flags to make deployments, he said to his men beside him: "Aim at a 45° angle, large battleship, ram!"

The strength of the Golden Merry is not just because it has hundreds of artillery.

The solidity of its hull and the turning angle of its equipment also make it a nightmare-level existence in marine close combat.
