"Since the goal is to capture the opposing ship, long-range artillery battles are not good for us, how about jumping gang white-knuckle combat?"

The two privateers crashed into the Boyle family fleet in the distance, and the pirate leaders on the Yangwei were meeting to discuss the specific plunder plan, and Luo Zhengdao in the conference room turned his head to look at the high-ranking people, including the one-eyed dragon captain Faure Chopin, and simply threw out his opinion. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)

The bearded one-eyed dragon Fore Chopin was a hereditary retainer of the family of Count Flore, and he had always been a follower of the Lord's opinion, but when it came to technical details, he didn't need to be too polite with Luo Zhengdao, and raised an objection and said:

"Lord Earl, the white-knuckle battle is not good for us, the Boyle family fleet is larger than ours, and the number of sailors is larger, and the results of the gang are not optimistic."

Hearing this, the participants present nodded in agreement, you must know that the casualty ratio of white-knuckle warfare has always been frighteningly high, although the pirates are not afraid of death when seeking money, but since they can easily complete the plunder plan without having to risk their own lives, who would want to die in vain?

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao did not hold his own opinion, turned his head to ask for advice from the boatswain Zola Hegel, who had a contemplative expression, and said:

"Zola, what do you think?"

"The Boyle family fleet is a hard bone, we can't start lightly, we have to find the right opportunity."

Moral and legal factors aside, no matter what kind of business you engage in, you can't make a career casually, and if you don't have this awareness, you will rush into it, whether the participants are cheating or cheating, or if you don't learn or don't know how to do it, in short, some of them are already doomed to become a footnote to a tragedy. The pirates are doing business without capital, and they are not a bunch of idiots or idiots who are too lazy to use their brains to mix, for pirates, the courage of the blade stained with blood and the wisdom of judging the situation are indispensable!

At this time, looking at the pirates who were talking eloquently, Luo Zhengdao, who was disobedient, recalled an ancient text he had learned, and a hint of a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the old world, the ancestor of thieves who was active in the Spring and Autumn Period said that before robbers take action, they should accurately judge whether the situation can be attacked, which is called wisdom; Guessing where the property is hiding and hitting it is called wisdom; When you start to act, you should take the lead, which is called bravery; When the operation is over, the leader insists on leaving the scene last, which is called preaching morality; In the end, the leader is responsible for distributing the looted goods fairly to his subordinates, which is called benevolence. It can be seen that even if you want to become a qualified bandit leader, you still have to have a lot of good professional qualities to ensure success, and it is difficult to become a big thing by vainly entangled with a gang of rabble, so there is a way to say that thieves also have a way.

Such a sense of disobedience from reality made Luo Zhengdao feel a lot, and he whispered:

"Alas, life is like a play, and drama is like life!"

At the meeting, the debate was not about whether to talk about this difficult bone, but when to say the right time. If the time drags on for too long, and the other party notices that something is wrong and takes a method such as scattering and fleeing, it is equivalent to the fat that has already reached the mouth slipping away, and the pirates are naturally unwilling. Soon, the eyes of the subordinates were once again focused on Luo Zhengdao's leader, since the opinions of all parties were very different, and it was difficult to convince other companions for a while, let's start with him!

Zola Hegel, the fastest boatswain, got up and said solemnly to Luo Zhengdao:

"Your Excellency, we have been discussing this for a long time, and now what is your opinion?"

Seeing this scene, Luo Zhengdao touched his chin, glanced at the participants with different expressions, he smiled slightly, picked up the drawing pen, drew a circle on the tactical whiteboard that marked the change of position of the enemy and us, and said:

"We concentrate all our efforts on storming the flagship, and solve the battle in the shortest possible time, I don't believe that these traitors and lackeys have the courage to fight to the end with us, as long as the flagship is defeated, they will be defeated and flee for their lives without a unified command, and then we can choose which ship is more suitable to start."

Hearing this, Vina Dobov expressed her concern and uneasiness, and she frowned and said:

"Will, it's a big risk!"

Out of the arrogant nature of the traverser, Luo Zhengdao didn't have much affection for the forward-looking behavior, even if it was from the mouth of a close person, he refuted it unceremoniously, saying:

"Alright! So do you have anything better to build? ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately cooled down, Luo Zhengdao's style was indeed too simple and rude, if the half-elf beauty had a better way, of course she would say it, and it was almost reprimanded to question in person so unceremoniously.

There was silence in the conference room for a long time, and Captain Four-Eyed Chopin got up with a smile to greet everyone, breaking the almost frozen awkward atmosphere of the room, and said:

"Since you have decided to do it, let's study the specific combat deployment!"

The so-called specific issues are just a matter of facts, and this will not involve the question of who is right and who is wrong, and the combat meeting can proceed smoothly. After a long discussion back and forth, and as the views of the participants gradually converged, the boatswain Zola Hegel summed up their views and said:

“…… We interspersed from the middle and rear of the enemy flotilla, concentrating the Yangwei's fire on the stern of the enemy flagship, the Yong was responsible for attacking the perimeter to attract the attention of the other enemy ships, and we had to fight for a single blow to disable the flagship, and the rest was not too difficult. ”

Indeed, the task before the pirates was extremely daunting, although it was well known that the vital part of the sail warship was in the stern part of the ship, whether it was the commander's quarters or the steering wheel equipment and command station in the vicinity, that did not mean that this place was the most vulnerable weakness.

One of the reasons why the important facilities are located in the stern of the warship is that the wind direction comes from the stern, and the steering wheel system can only be rested at the stern of the ship.

Once the ship's guns destroy the rudder wheel or rudder lever at the stern, the entire ship will quickly lose the ability to steer and become a live target in place. Second, attacking from the stern has the added benefit of avoiding the bulkhead guards in the ship's cabin that are vulnerable to broadside attacks.

Assuming that if you are lucky, a cannonball can even go straight through the entire deck from the stern of the ship, bouncing all the way to the bow of the ship, and the destructive power of a ricocheting bullet in the hull of the ship is so great that this scene can immediately arouse a chill in people's hearts, it is a terrifying picture that can only appear in a nightmare at midnight.

From the analysis on paper, the complete set of combat plans drawn up by Luo Zhengdao and others is flawless, and the various advantages and strong points possessed by the side have been used to the greatest extent, and the real difficulty lies in whether or not the action steps of this plan can be implemented in reality.

Based on Zola Hegel's years of experience as a pirate, this plan to attack the flagship seems whimsical at first glance, and the feasibility is not low, at least it is worth the gamble. The difference between investment and speculation lies in whether the risk factors are controllable, and investment that cannot control the risk can only be called speculation, which has nothing to do with the amount of money invested. The biggest risk factor hindering the success of the raid plan is that the Assault can only be used in the assault tactics, and the opponent has a numerical advantage several times that, although it is not unreasonable for them to be careless, and if the pirates are not cautious enough, it will be a matter of minutes for the hunter to become the prey.

After a long time of back and forth, the boatswain smiled confidently and said to the attendees:

"Well, since Your Excellency the Captain thinks this plan is better, and everyone thinks it's okay to do so, then I'll go and check the readiness of the short and heavy artillery, and if the war doesn't go out later, then something big will happen."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao also nodded in agreement and said:

"Short and heavy artillery is the most important part of the plan, Zola, make sure that nothing goes wrong."

At present, among the various weapons widely used in naval warfare in the New World, this short and heavy gun, which can be regarded as unconventional equipment, is a very distinctive weapon, and the large-caliber short-barreled artillery with the same shape and function in the military history of the old world is called the Caron gun. In fact, this short, stubby gun is a misshapen melee weapon that sacrifices range in exchange for maximum fire output. As an outstanding representative of a partial weapon, if the tactics are used properly, it can destroy the combat power of the enemy's entire enemy ship with just one hit, whether it is with a whole stone projectile or a grapegre and a shotgun, the lethal effect in actual combat can be called terrifying.

Luo Zhengdao vaguely remembered the first time he saw this kind of dwarf iron guy in appearance, and immediately recalled the old-fashioned ceramic vat he had seen for pickling pickles at the elders' homes when he was a child, which showed how exaggerated the ratio of caliber to length of this cannon was.

If you ask how powerful this short-barreled heavy gun that shoots 6o pounds of stone shells, and what it feels like to be bombarded by this thing, Luo Zhengdao sincerely hopes that he will never have to understand the answer to this brain-dead question.

At the end of the discussion of the combat meeting, Luo Zhengdao said to his subordinates:

"The first qiē operation is carried out according to the plan, the Yong is responsible for the peripheral response, and the Yangwei is attacking alone, so let's prepare separately!"

About half an hour later, the sunlight from the direction of the sky dome began to deflect westward, and Luo Zhengdao clearly saw through the monoculars that the wingman Yong had hoisted a string of signal flags that were "ready". Immediately, he raised a loudspeaker made of thin brass plates, and said in a loud voice:

"Advance and attack!"

The front foot shook off the burden of the Yong, which was in the way, and raised all the sails of the True Demon Pattern, and the sail soared to the maximum limit of twenty-two knots in a matter of minutes. This wooden battleship, which is as large as a residential building, is now like a wild horse that has escaped from the leash, and it is rushing towards the Boyle family fleet.

In contrast to the two-masted formation in front of it, which averaged only about ten knots of cruise, the Yangwei, fully equipped with true magic sails, even had the strength to circle around the opponent's ships, and such a large difference in degree was the key reason why Zola Hegel strongly endorsed this seemingly reckless raid plan. No matter what the background of the era, the faster side can always win the initiative on the battlefield, and when the shape is advantageous, it can certainly take advantage of the situation to chase and fight, and the feeling of the shape is unfavorable can also immediately turn around and sail to move the strategic transfer skills. The ancient nomads of the old world relied on this trick to toss countless armies under the banner of agricultural civilization to lose their temper, and it is a trivial matter to beat you, the problem is that the two legs are tired and can't catch up with the four legs of others!
