Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

If you run fast, you must not have as much firepower as me, and if you have strong firepower, you will definitely not run as fast as me, this is the basic tactical principle followed by the old world battle cruisers, relying on dislocation to hit their opponents and gain asymmetric advantages, Luo Zhengdao also refers to this standard to form a privateer fleet. Only under the perverted requirements of unrealistically pursuing the limit of degree and intensifying firepower to the extreme like him, it is possible to form such a wonderful pirate fleet to the extreme, and other families don't have the capital and conditions to learn from it.

Now, being beaten by a powerful pirate fleet at the door of the house, there is no power to fight back, and the Xiangjiang Business Group has finally realized the truth, Luo Zhengdao's hand is too ruthless, and it is clear that it is the hard power to bully you!

The Xiangjiang business group was forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, no matter how bad the bad idea was, you have to try it first, anyway, a dead horse is a live horse doctor! The watchman of the Avenger, the flagship of the privateer fleet, soon saw that a large number of small boats were flying from the direction of the inner harbor of the Xiangjiang River, and immediately sent an early warning message to the deck.

"Lord Earl, the lookout has a large number of ships attacking the ship, the raft is not safe, Captain Crimson asks you to return to the Avenger immediately to command the battle."

Hearing this bad news, Luo Zhengdao's expression that narrowed his eyes didn't seem to change, he nodded briefly and said:

"Well, then suspend the shelling! Later, this wave of fire attack ship raids will be thwarted, and the merchant group and those shameless guys should also understand what it means to wait for death, and there is no point in whether the battery fights or not. ”

Actions speak louder than words! A qualified businessman will never fight his opponent to the end, for them, when their own strength is at a disadvantage, if they have to think about how to successfully keep the capital, and then consider the next speculation with profits, this is the best policy.

The pursuit of profit and continuous value-added is the eternal professional pursuit of businessmen, rather than the spirit of broken jade, that is the way of martyrs with self-sacrifice as the greatest glory, and the way of businessmen is the balance point of chasing interests and controlling investment risks. To say that in this regard, the most typical is the old world famous historical figure Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li, he served as the minister of Yue for many years, when he saw that the king of Yue Gou Jian is a mean boss, can only share weal and woe can not be the same wealth, after eliminating the old enemy Wu State, Fan Li immediately withdrew, without attachment to the honor of power, this is called stop loss and cut positions. If a businessman fails to make an investment, it is a big deal to change places and start over, and the perfect model they believe in is as simple as that, so the allusion of Tao Zhu Gongsan to his daughter has been rumored to be a beautiful talk in the business circles of the old world.

It is not at all easy to meet both of these conditions by satisfying both of these conditions if the commander is a very high tactical standard and a large number of excellent sailors who are well versed in navigation and ship performance.

These small boats, laden with arsonist materials, hoisted their sails from the harbor of Xiangjiang, and the sailors had to adjust their course and degree from time to time as they approached the privateer. If the sailors who operate the fire attack ship break away too early, the fire attack ship that loses control and cannot maneuver and change direction is nothing more than asking the enemy to enjoy a bonfire show on the water for free, and if it is too late, it will inevitably take the risk of getting into it with himself. How to grasp the right balance not only requires comprehensive consideration of many factors such as time, place, weather, and changes in the positions of the enemy and us, but it is also extremely difficult to grasp the rhythm of the battlefield, which tests the ability and talent of the commander. To sum up, the fire attack ship is a seemingly simple and cheap battlefield magic that can not be played by any cat, dog or four.

"Crosswind forward!"

The old sailor, who was at the forefront of the fire attack ship and shouted loudly to command his companions, was the servant of the joint prime minister of the merchant group, and the prime minister could not have picked a more suitable person than him, whether in terms of loyalty or ability.

These spinnakers, which were temporarily requisitioned for use as fire attack ships, could not reach the theoretical maximum sailing distance, either headwind or downwind, and were able to make maximum use of the wind drive when seizing the crosswind direction, as opposed to the sail battleships that used a mixture of square sails and spinnakers. Although it is impossible to say which way is the right way, when it comes to using fire to attack ships, it is clear that the element of grasp is more important than anything else.

Returning to the command platform of the flagship Avenger in a small boat, Luo Zhengdao waved his hand to signal his subordinates to take their seats, and he was standing here today purely symbolic, trying to stabilize people's hearts.

If he can turn the tide of a war involving thousands of people by himself, at least he has to be a great arcanist of the legendary level or above to make a move, or he can also give it a try when Luo Zhengdao really masters the power of the magic card master, and now Luo Zhengdao appears on the command platform, just a distinguished spectator.

"Ready to shoot!"

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

As the Avenger was divided into three layers of artillery one after another, the rumbling cannon exploded continuously, and the stone projectiles and aether particles that swept across the sea rubbed against each other, stirring up layers of dark golden ballistic trajectories.

From the point of view of an onlooker, this shelling scene is not only magnificent, but even a little beautiful in it, and when it comes to sound and light effects, it is not inferior to Hollywood's blockbusters that often burn hundreds of millions of dollars, only the warring parties in it cannot find the slightest leisure to appreciate this man-made spectacle. The soldiers gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, and focused on the tragic battle in front of them, which was a bloody fight at the cost of their lives, not a competitive game to win the applause of the audience outside the stadium.

"Bang-"

“…… Is it an explosive bomb? Are these pirates crazy? ”

A shell from the privateer fleet landed at a deviation of several tens of meters from a fire attack ship, which normally did not pose a threat, however, this shell actually exploded into countless stone chips and flew away with a "bang", which really frightened the pilots of the fire attack ship.

Solid stone shells are the most popular type of artillery shells in the New World, and they are representative of affordable and abundant universal weapons, but this does not mean that the indigenous people of the New World are too rigid to think of using lycopodium spore powder to enhance the destructive power of artillery shells.

In addition to the usual mold production methods, the alien craftsmen who live in the underground space will scoop molten lava from the never-freezing lava lake, dripping the scorching lava from a dozen stories into the pool below. Under the influence of gravity, the molten lava will automatically shrink into a regular sphere during the fall, and finally fall into the pool to quickly cool and solidify, which is a finished stone projectile. Of course, the thermal conductivity of magma is nowhere near as good as that of metal solutions, and the sudden cooling process is not always so satisfying, and it is not uncommon for magma to explode in half or even more blocks when exposed to water, and some people have been figuring out new business opportunities over time.

Originally considered waste and destroyed, the stone projectiles that naturally broke in half during processing were sifted and hollowed out by skilled stonemasons to retain the outermost layer of one-inch thick skin, and the remaining space was used to fill the stone pine powder. After this step is completed, the craftsmen will drill holes in the surface of the hollow shell stone bomb and insert a fuse, and then use two thin iron sheets to fix the two halves of the bomb, or use cheaper and more readily available linen strips to fix the bomb with a simple fireproof treatment, and the explosive bomb is completed.

Compared to the kinetic energy that can only rely on the kinetic energy given by the cannon to produce lethality, the power of solid stone shells is definitely not as powerful as that of explosive shells with hollow charges, but this matter is not so simple.

The industrial base of the New World can basically only be described by the word "sparse", the craftsmen's processing methods are very limited, and the reliability of explosive shells has always been a stubborn disease that has been greatly criticized, such as the negative news that the shells explode in the barrel of the cannon in advance, resulting in the death and injury of the crew members, is not a new thing in the naval circles of the New World at all, and it is big news that the unlucky ones do not die in a year. Whether or not to use such a highly effective and dangerous weapon is indeed a matter of opinion and wisdom, and it can only be judged and decided by those admirals who carry out specific combat missions.

"Abandon ship! Abandon ship! ”

Unlike the sailors on the damaged ship who have a chance to jump off ship and escape after being hit by a solid stone bullet, the fire attack ship, which is comparable to a mobile matchbox, only needs to be hit by an explosive bomb, and it will immediately turn into a fireball and ascend to the sky.

Seeing the operator of the fire attack ship on the opposite side scrambling to jump into the sea to survive with the sea driftwood plank, and let the dhows he was driving drift with the current, Brando Scarlet Yan turned his head to look at Luo Zhengdao, and when he nodded, the captain immediately raised the loudspeaker rolled into brass and shouted:

"Disband the battle line, and each ship evades the fire attack ship on its own."

The relaxed pirates used pennies and poles to push away the attacking ships that approached the ships, and even though there were hundreds of ships of considerable size, the results of the assault were lackluster. To paraphrase an idiom from the old world, after the merchant alliance failed in the tactics of attacking ships with fire, they were already exhausted, and they could no longer find a way to resist the continuous advance of Luo Zhengdao's fleet on Xiangjiang, and this group of guys who only had interests in their eyes seemed to have the only way out of surrendering by raising their hands.

The joint strength of the Xiangjiang business group still exists, but it has no fighting spirit, and it can't be hidden from the discerning people when they see that the rabbit's tail can't grow. The long-awaited fighter plane appeared, and in the harbor of an unnamed desert island nearly 100 nautical miles away from Xiangjiang, the bear goblin commander Zheti Baishan changed his grumpy and rough image in the past, and drank leisurely and drank alcohol, as if he was not bothered by the pirates' imminent attack on Xiangjiang.
