Chapter 650 Manually rubbed the aircraft carrier

In the roar of artillery fire.

A group of people looked around all around, there was no drifting island that could be reached in a short time, and there was no shelter.

At this point, all they could rely on was the Ancient One galley beneath their feet.

Although this is indeed an Ancient One, according to the observations a few days ago, they are not that absolutely does not have a chance of winning under the ability to correct battleships of various ages in this space.

“The current wind is northwesterly, and I think we can take advantage of the fact that galleys are not entirely dependent on wind, throw them off when sailing against the wind, and think about other methods after getting out of combat.”

>

In addition to the prophet, as a qualified sea captain, Milan put forward his most pertinent advice at a critical moment.

Because when sailing against the wind, whether it is a schooner or a cross-boat, if the wind direction is within the range of about four compass points on the left and right of the bow, then this range is an absolute no-navigation zone. In the case of a horizontal sailboat, this angle is extended to six compass points.

Although sailboats with rigging sails can sail against the wind, the ship’s spars cannot turn so much, in other words, it simply cannot “cut the wind” at a suitable angle.

And the pirate ship at the back is a three-masted mixed sailing ship. If the galley on its own side removes its only jib and sails directly in the direction of the sea breeze. Unless the opponent takes a detour around the zigzag, it is almost impossible to continue chasing in that direction.

Any seamaster could do no more on this galley than Milan.

But.

The three experienced captains on this ship, Alwin, Gerros, and Anita, issued diametrically opposed orders at the same time: “No, dodge is not the way to go, let’s rush forward and start a direct battle! ”

Anita is purely based on tactical considerations. They can only participate in the battle after landing or landing on the island. As long as the landing can be completed, everything behind is not a problem.

And this ancient galley was not equipped with artillery and did not have the ability to fight back. When charging forward, use the bow to reduce the area of the gunfire facing the enemy. Maybe when you rush all the way to the opponent, it is not impossible to be unscathed.

She has the most say in the lethality of artillery fire on pirate ships.

Additionally.

Jeros, who already owns a galley, and Alwin, who was born in Cobain, know better that it is not a new technology that can completely crush the old technology in all directions.

For example, the normal speed of a conventional cargo ship fueled by heavy oil is only between 15-20 knots, while the speed of the clipper ship at the peak of the sailing era has been able to exceed 14 knots.

There is a huge gap in comprehensive strength, but in some respects the old technology is not useless.

This is the case with galleys. Shallow draft, quick sprint speed, and flexible steering are all his advantages. In the hands of brilliant commanders, as long as you seize the opportunity to overcome the strong with the weak, it is definitely not a fantasy story!

“Order.”

So when the pirate ship has completed the wind grab, it is time to use the wind advantage to further use the range advantage.

But he was surprised to find that the Ancient One, which was supposed to be the fish on the chopping board, actually put down the sails on the boat, and the sixty long oars swayed neatly and uniformly as if they had a unified idea, a long and narrow battleship. Like an arrow, it swept across the water and dashed against the wind in its own direction.

Whoosh—

The pirates didn’t panic at first, and calmly ordered:

“Fire!”

bang! bang! bang! bang!

The heroic spirits on the ship, similar in appearance to pirates, also poured artillery fire on the galleys at a pirate’s regular shelling frequency of two rounds per minute. But even if the opponent rushes straight in without dodging or dodging, because the target has only one bow, the hit rate is very impressive.

Heroic spirits are not stronger than ordinary human pirates, but they don’t have to worry about making mistakes when they operate their guns, they are as accurate and efficient as a clock.

“Give me a grape shot and sweep their decks down!”

“As you bid!”

Pirate King Black Sam Bellamy As an unorthodox, although his qualifications in the Pirate King are only under “Octopus Ghost” Hudgens, he has never fought against such a battleship that has been eliminated for hundreds of years in his life.

Until he finds out even close range shelling.

It only interrupted the mast of the opponent’s ship, failed to solve the soldiers who had already hid in the cabin, and did not harm the real power source under the low deck at all – the oarsman. , The heart has already played a retreat.

‘Even the Ancient One doesn’t seem to be so easy to deal with, it would be nice if the flagship with heavy artillery came over this time. ‘

After muttering, the order was given:

“Steering, let’s distance!”

However.

With the cooperation of dozens of Yingling sailors and Hessam, who is at the helm, the distance not only did not widen, but the opponent used a more flexible change of direction after the second windward change. The ability to accelerate the sprint, and finally bullied to within 20 meters.

sou! sou! sou! sou!

The soldiers who came back to the deck threw dozens of hooks onto the relatively taller pirate ship, The two sides are officially engaged, and the entire group, which can only act as a spectator, can finally make a real move.

“Kill!”

When the soldiers on the ship lowered the “Crow Suspension Bridge” and charged towards the pirate ship, the squad members who had been holding back all the way had already rushed up first.

The surface of the skin of the pirate king Black Sam standing on the poop is scattered with black scales, which is obviously a natural warlock who has a part of the sea monster bloodline.

This is also the origin of the title “Black Sam”.

The same is true for the four or five elite pirate cadres under his command, but to a much lesser degree than the Sea of Treasure Pirate King, who has obviously experienced the bloodline infection of the Pirate King.

While increasing power, it also ensures the loyalty of your subordinates.

But when Black Sam squinted a pair of yellow eyes, he could clearly see the splendid aura (life force field and equipment) on these silhouettes who had just rushed out of the lower cabin of the galley. , especially when Anita is a very familiar face although she has not seen it with her own eyes.

While eyes suddenly shrank, they took the lead and jumped from the deck into the sea without saying a word. Those elite Second Rank pirate cadres without the slightest hesitation followed suit.

Puff! Pfft!

Alwin was beaten for more than half an hour. Alwin, who was about to vent his sullen breath, punched them in the air.

And at the moment when Alwin and the others achieved the actual occupation of the pirate ship without bloodshed, a group of pirates who saw that the situation was far from good and escaped into the water have completely disappeared in this space.

The 200 pirate heroic spirits who had raised their muskets to fight on the pirate ship also dissipated, but in the blink of an eye, the pirate ship became an empty shell again.

“These guys escaped so fast!”

Anita scolded secretly, but reluctantly retracted the Dragon Slaying Sword into its sheath, turned and looked towards the two great wizards, brows slightly wrinkle said:

“After the heroic spirits here disappeared, we can’t even change ships.”

But I saw Jeros and Alwin looking at each other, opened the mouth and said:

“This is not necessarily impossible.”

Although the tactical arrangement is the same as that of Anita, the ultimate goal of the two great wizards representing advanced productivity is not just to send Hesa It’s that simple.

It is a 60 long galley, plus 120 paddlers and 80 soldiers on the lower deck. It is not a very conspicuous model in the galley, and its conventional competitiveness is too weak. .

There may be some odds against a conventional battleship armed only with ordinary artillery, but if you face a long-range attack on a Legendary battleship, you may not be able to escape.

And.

The rules only say that in this process, you can only rely on the battleship itself to fight, but it doesn’t say that you can’t transform the battleship, right? The things in [Witchcraft Garden] cannot give birth to Heroic Spirits without the assimilation of the rules, so we can always use the materials that have been assimilated, right?

In addition, in the observation of the past few days, the regeneration of heroic spirits only takes a short ten minutes. The most critical question is whether these heroic spirits can be adaptively upgraded for the changed battleship?

Therefore, Alwin suggested:

“Mr. Gerros, how about we first remodel the heavy Calais ships that already exist in this space?”

“Well, I think so too. The rules in this space also have a context to follow. At least my mysticism knowledge tells me that this method should be completely feasible.”

Immediately after the entire group Back on his galley.

In the eyes of others who suddenly light up.

Crackling

The spell aura on Alwin and Gerros continued to flicker. Among the two battleships juxtaposed, the huge pirate ship was quickly dismantled, with planks, tar, Iron pieces, hemp rope, canvas, artillery.

The wood is continuously fused to the galley like plasticine, growing and widening, and long oars extend from the lower deck

The masts on the deck grew rapidly, and new mainmast and mizzenmast were added

Several well-cast bronze cannons flickered with electric lights, gradually fuse together.

This It is Alwin’s [living spirit transformation light] and Gerros’s [heterogeneous reorganization]: the ‘Ship of Theseus’ that can be constantly updated, human beings, and other things are the same. Wherever it breaks, it can be replaced. And it will be stronger than the original!

Alwin can easily squeeze the boat, while Gerros can continuously upgrade the battleship by eliminating the inferior. With complementary abilities, a brand new battleship has quickly appeared at their feet.

The last pinnacle of the galley that has ruled the sea for three thousand years – the [heavy Calais galley].

Three masts and one hundred and fifty oars, a 7,000-pound basilisk appeared on its bow, although only one was capable of firing 50-pound shells, requiring only A single blow can break the keel of a battleship.

To mount the “monster”, Alwin mounted it on a wooden gun mount, which was then placed on a rail on the centerline of the hull. When the gun is fired, move the gun back on the rail to avoid damage to the re-kneaded hull.

And fifteen minutes later, just as the two expected, just like other battleships recovering from damage, the paddlers and soldiers were replenished to the point of adapting to this battleship, and the total number reached 500. people.

Even the equipment has been refreshed and turned into a matchlock gun from hundreds of years ago.

“Go!”

Whoosh—

Once the personnel and equipment were ready, Alwin conducted a brief test.

This battleship can get 22 paddles per minute at full speed, and 26 paddles per minute for short periods of time. This means that the average speed on long voyages is about 4.5 knots, and the maximum sprint speed for short periods of time is about twice that, surpassing most sail battleships.

Standing on the bow and looking at the vast sea, I couldn’t help but smile again:

“Hahaha, are you stupid? The man is a craftsman!

Even if the craftsman has nothing, he can have a bite to eat wherever he goes, so let you scumbags see what a hand-made aircraft carrier is!”

The shotgun-to-gun initially has the ability to protect itself After that, they began to travel through the circulation towards the inside of the “Giant’s Eye”. sharpening an axe does not delay the work of chopping firewood, the entire group is ready to collect other battleships on the road and upgrade a few waves first.

Although the original battleships have been enhanced according to their own characteristics, the existing tactics remain unchanged. Even the most advanced large Galen ship has only developed the ship to the extreme, and will not be an opponent of its own.

Even if they don’t have time to rub the aircraft carrier by hand, if they can get the extraordinary materials that can be used.

Alwin and Olivia cooperate to build a head statue that is stronger than “Storm Cape”, and it is only a matter of minutes to upgrade the battleship to a quasi-Legendary!
