Chapter 580

One to four, black eat black. To be honest, such scenes are still very common among pirates.

Of course, the so-called [common] must be a less rigorous relative concept.

Like a simple marine food chain, sharks can prey on the lower sea lions, seals, COD and herring according to their preferences, but unless the shark weakens to a certain extent, even if the shark is left alone, it is almost impossible for people to see the COD show their tusks to it.

Bellamy is the shark in the pirate empire. Mr. beaver, who has successfully crowded into the big pirate, is not regarded as a cod, but after all, his debut is shallow. At best, he is a few young seals who are not familiar with the world.

Young seals besiege the badly wounded shark. Now it is such a wonderful picture on the ocean.

"Warning! Starboard shot!"

Boom, boom, boom!

"Full left rudder! Avoid!"

At the command, the Vida turned quickly to the left along the wind and cut out a high water wall on the sea.

The red hot iron bullet smashed in from the upper edge of the water wall, gushed out a large mass of steam, then broke through the wall and dragged the long tail straight to the bow.

The artillery skills of the pirates were much worse than those of the regular Navy or privateers with military blood. The shells flew out in scattered and uneven tracks.

But correspondingly, the water that the Vida avoided was just like that. The sideboard is full of the bow of the direct attack ship, which means that the firing ship is in a parallel position at least half of the hull ahead of Vader.

At this time, the best avoidance scheme is to lower the sail and slow down, completely exit the landing area, and then approach the left rudder at a small angle to give up part of the landing space and retain its own speed and flexibility.

Large angle right rudder cut-out is not the worst choice, but it is too rigid.

In the process of evasion, ships have to cross the whole bomb landing sea area obliquely. The switched route is easy to be predicted by the opponent, and the lost wind cutting angle will also lose speed. The result is good for nothing.

The shrapnel with gunpowder smoke flew to the Vida, part of which landed on the starboard side and part jumped over the deck and landed on the port side. The sky was covered with water, and the speed of the Vida slowed down. From a distance, it was like the whole ship was trapped in gunfire.

Boom!

There was a roar in the fog. The Vida fought back and burst out of the fog with its guns.

The ability of the ship group on the pilot's side is first-class. In the blink of an eye, a new wind cutting angle will be found. The speed will be raised again and again in a short time. When the water fog is forced out, the inflated sail has raised the speed to six knots and basically returned to the state before the rudder is full.

But it is not only the Vida that has excellent sailing skills.

After a moment's delay, two beaver barges came from behind and attacked Vader from left to right.

Vader has no room to dodge. The three ships are parallel to the sea 50 meters wide. Barg, with more dexterous sails, can easily chase.

"Shot on both sides!" the watchman howled bitterly, "direct attack on the deck!"

Boom, boom! Boom, boom!

During the very close shelling, the two barges chose chain bombs and the main mast. Dozens of chain bombs opened in mid air and flew to the upper layer of the sailing Vida like an Indian stone sling.

Nowhere to dodge, nowhere to avoid, nowhere to wear!

Bellamy looked coldly at the smoke rising from the enemy ship and waved fiercely: "let go!"

So far, only a few shots have been fired on both sides at the same time, and dense shrapnel discharged from the inner eye in mid air on both sides.

The beaver's chain bullet smashed the barrage, and the kinetic energy had dissipated. The attack that must have been hit suddenly lost momentum and fell askew, powerlessly smashing into the sea and hitting the hull.

Lorraine, who was watching the war from a distance, had a bright feeling in front of her for the first time.

"Tut Tut, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Ya Zha, do you see the means of interception?"

Acharin put down his looking glass with a flat mouth: "there are only so many guns and the firing speed is fixed. We can only choose the same whether it is attack or defense."

"You're sophistry." Lorraine raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"I don't need to argue for this stupid way of using guns. We're talking about whether to use a sword or a shield. Smart people know that a sword can kill the enemy once and for all, and a shield can only keep us from being killed by the enemy for the time being."

"I remember Lev smashing a lot of people with a shield..."

Acharin looked black: "shrapnel can also be used to wash the deck!"

"Aha."

Lorraine was convinced by his excellent gunner that the firing speed and firepower of the previous loaded artillery were really not suitable for building a special defensive barrage like later ships.

Bellamy's gun method was based on the complete sacrifice of the attack ability of both sides, like waiting for a rabbit, but the result was just barely able to resist the chain bomb attack.

The impact force of chain bullet is far less than that of solid bullet. Looking at the disabled state just now, Lorraine can guess that the effect of this defense on solid bullet is very limited.

Of course, pirates for the purpose of looting don't like solid bullets as much as Lorraine. Lorraine can understand the story of orange born in Huainan.

Bellamy, who escaped the disaster with exquisite command, was killed out of the bag, and the starboard rudder was directly fired at Bagh on the starboard side, and the upper chain shrapnel was mixed.

The two sides were only about ten meters away. Scattered bullets swept across the deck, and blood and brains were painted all over the ship.

Bagh's front sail burned up, and the pirates in the cabin rushed out to rescue. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's loss of control, the Vida was cut off the side like a needle.

There are only three ships left!

Mr. beaver's flagship has been falling in the sea two kilometers away, and the two adjacent barges are on the port side. The starboard side of the Vida is open, and the high-quality wind cutting angle has been recovered. The Galen's upwind advantage is becoming more and more obvious.

"It seems that there is no chance for us to play..." Lorraine sighed sadly, "battlefield distance?"

"18 kilometers!" the observatory replied a little unusually fast, with strange tone and strange data.

"18 kilometers? We chased for an hour, but the distance was only shortened by 8 kilometers? Less than 5 nautical miles?"

"At a distance of 18 kilometers, the ship shadow is found in the southwest and West. It is identified as Galen Destroyer 2, brigantine 3 and brig 1. There are six ships in total. They are encircling the right wing of the Vida! The flag is determined... Henry the pirate king hound!"

The observatory was quiet.

Acharin pulled a long tone and looked at Lorraine with a 100% restored smile.

"Mr. captain, what do you think now?"

"Feeling......" Lorraine thought for a long time with his chin covered. "None of these pirate kings jumped out during the war of association. Did we make a profit or lose?"

……

Before stopping the tiger and after chasing the wolf, Bellamy and his Vida, who had just escaped from danger, fell into a more dangerous situation in the twinkling of an eye.

There is a pearl like white line on the sea. The southwest end of the white line is the hound Henry fleet and six ships from south to north.

On the route less than 5 kilometers away from them is the Vida, which is advancing rapidly from north to south. She has always been on the best wind cutting line. The pursuers behind her make her ignore her front and rush towards the hound's trap pig.

Their relative speed reached more than 10 knots and it took them less than 15 minutes to hit each other. The two barges of the beaver rat Gini clenched one kilometer behind the Vida, and there was no difference in the speed between the two sides. Under the current wind conditions, Galen only had the advantage of acceleration, but could not take the lead in the highest speed.

Two kilometers after Bagh is the flagship of the beaver, the haunting Galen destroyer. Lorraine remembered that her name was the virgin cigar. She once belonged to a powerful Spanish Chamber of commerce with the three barges. A year ago, she was a slave ship specializing in the East Africa Cuba line.

Now the chamber of Commerce has long gone bankrupt, and the one who stood up on the remains of the chamber of commerce is Ginny beaver.

The virgin cigar passed the barg with its front sail on fire. The beaver and his little mice drove their prey feverishly, but as ridiculous as their prey, they ignored the threat of the Yellow finch.

With a distance of 8 kilometers and a relative speed of 4 knots, varkiri tilted her sharp bow at the end of the necklace.

"It is expected to surpass the beaver bug in 20 minutes and enter the main battlefield in 60 minutes!"

"All personnel are transferred to level II combat readiness!"

"Starboard loading!!!"

"Captain's order, get rid of the enemy with one strike, and valkiri will drive directly to the battlefield without nostalgia!"

"All ships, assault!"
