The mountains are heavy and the waters are heavy. It can be seen that during the return period, the gentle grass slope suddenly poured down the earth covered debris flow, which almost drowned people in the deserted mountains and forests.
The sudden appearance of the vortex escape brought Lorraine such a sudden and startling feeling.
This is a trap.
The tall Queen Anne's Revenge consciously hid the vortex escape with its own physique and continuous dispersion shooting. Excessive relaxation and the marksman nasion on the Blackbeard made the mast of valkiri the most risky place in the whole ship, so that Lorraine didn't receive any warning in advance until the vortex escape suddenly came out.
Valkiri's speed is not fast. Compared with her maximum speed of more than 14 knots, 6 to 6.5 is less than half of the limit.
However, like the same effect battle patrol in later generations, the more a ship like this has the ability of leapfrog rule, the more fragile its structure is.
This vulnerability has nothing to do with the defense capability of the ship itself.
Valkiri's defense comes from heavy oak ship materials and metal external hangers covering the ship's surface, including iron armor on the upper layer and copper clad on the lower layer.
They can make varkiri basically ignore the artillery damage of this era, but even in a dream, Lorraine dare not expect them to withstand the collision of thousands of tons on the ocean.
Even, the mesh frame used as armor support will deform and disintegrate in collision, and the twisted fine steel will in turn become a weapon to damage the hull, causing more serious collision damage than other ships.
It can be seen that valkiri is not suitable for connecting to the side at all, which is also the consensus of all designers of the ship.
It's going to hit!
At the critical moment, the unconditional trust cultivated by Haina and Lorraine over the years has played a vital role.
Haina did not question the unexpected command at all, or before her brain had time to respond, her hands and mouth had made a qualified response according to Lorraine's instructions.
Right rudder full!
Valkyrie turned to, turned right by a large margin, achieved yaw within the limit distance, and successfully scraped the bow of the vortex escape from the right side.
The two ships staggered. Before valkiri, who had just stabilized, had time to breathe, Queen Anne's Revenge pressed down from the high position on the port side. The vortex that had just passed by the wrong body escaped and moved to the starboard side. Taking the opportunity of valkiri's stall, she made every effort to approach.
The lookout also found the rice and the storm ocean.
Rice is approaching the vortex escape, while storm ocean is completely out of the array. According to the track, it will soon detour from the far end to the front of valkiri like the vortex escape just now.
Another unlucky self exploding truck
Lorraine gasped softly.
Normally, the best way to deal with the self exploding truck is to avoid it. However, after the accident like left full rudder just now, valkiri's condition is very bad.
This is not all superficial.
On the exposed deck of valkiri, most sailors responded at the moment when the alarm sounded. Although there was no clear statistics, based on what they saw and heard, Lorraine judged that the number of people falling into the water should not be more than three because of the roll just now.
After the roll calmed down, the crew who were used to the big scene soon returned to their jobs. They were busy cleaning up the mess on the deck, operating the sails and controlling the sails again.
However, valkiri's navigation was quite unstable, and from left to right looked like those drunk men on the wharf.
Is there something wrong with the center of gravity?
Lorraine swept the whole ship and just saw Karen hurried down the cabin with two boatmans, so he called edley.
"Immediately clarify the damage of each post and give me the fastest statistics."
"Yes!"
Before edley finished his reply, the lookout broke in loudly: "starboard approach! Queen Anne's Revenge assault, evasion!"
"Edre!" Lorraine's eyes suddenly coagulated. "Go now!"
"Yes!"
After seeing edley off, Lorraine's eyes immediately found Queen Anne's revenge, which was speeding up from the oblique rear.
The distance is less than 300 meters. If it is expulsion shooting, it is time for the sideboard to fire.
But there was no reaction in the gun cabin. It was like death.
Lorraine increasingly confirmed that there was something wrong with acharina and immediately said to Haina, "keep the left rudder five to ten degrees as far as possible, Haina, raise our freeboard and avoid it conservatively."
"Left rudder five degrees, stability first, I'll control it."
The attack on the port side also arrived. The vortex escape intended to go around from a distance of about 500 meters, but the gun cabin finally did not continue to be silent. It scattered sporadically at 450 meters. Only three guns were enough to drive the vortex escape away from the set course and widen the distance between the two sides again.
Starboard shelling!
Queen Anne's Revenge finally arrived at the right shooting position and carried out saturation at about 120 meters.
The bullet rain poured down like a rainstorm, chasing valkiri's track and falling madly on both sides of the ship.
Valkiri shuttled slowly through the bullet rain. Lorraine heard a thump first, and then the hull trembled again. A large piece of twisted armor flew up and crashed into the sea.
Lorraine gave a bang.
"More than a dozen guns are full of fire, but one of the two 32 pound guns constitutes a direct attack. Then God is too partial to his believers... Is this the political correctness of heaven?"
Hannah pulled the handwheel and shriveled her mouth: "God or man, God's faith is very careful."
"Although it is true..."
"The channel is blocked! The storm ocean cuts in 500 meters ahead!"
"Hannah, right rudder ten degrees, cut the side to Queen Anne for close impact!"
Haina turned the steering wheel into place expressionless. Varkiri twisted on the sea, drew an S-shaped track, stopped moving away from Queen Anne's revenge, and cut into its bow.
Until the ship stabilized, she asked Lorraine, "don't you worry about Blackbeard hitting you directly with his flagship?"
"He doesn't dare." Lorraine licked his dry lips. "When playing chess, it's undoubtedly a good trick to use soldiers to beat the king. But if you shine your own king in order to deal with each other's king, it's stupid to have a black beard."
"Playing chess..." Hannah tilted her head, "Persian chess?"
"Almost."
"Is there a chess piece representing asasin?"
"Probably... No." Lorraine laughed, "why, do you want to learn?"
"My father taught my brother before, but he didn't teach me." Haina looked clear. "It's because there are no assassins in chess. He knows I don't like it."
Valkyrie landed on the freeboard, and Queen Anne's Revenge evaded as Lorraine thought. The two sides were separated by more than 20 meters to form a short parallel. Valkyrie did not fire a shot. Queen Anne's Revenge could only watch such a good opportunity slip away from her eyes because it had just carried out saturation shelling.
There is no war on the western front
Lorraine thought of the ridiculous word for no reason.
He and Blackbeard looked at each other across the narrow sea. Blackbeard grinned at Lorraine and showed his scorched teeth.
Lorraine grinned: "Your Highness! Yellowing teeth is the manifestation of vitamin deficiency. You may not understand what vitamin is, but it doesn't matter, because people who lack it don't live long!"
The sound passed through the sea and the wind reached Blackbeard's ship.
Blackbeard's face turned black. He gritted his teeth and said, "England boy, I'll tear you up!"
"Come on!" Lorraine stretched out his thumb and pointed a virtual finger around his neck. "You're welcome."
