Chapter 292: Thunder
In fact, it is not too surprising when you think about it, after all, the speed of armed merchant ships is definitely inferior to that of warships;
Although the speed of the Hades is fast, it is naturally unable to speed up due to the presence of other ships.
"Hades, I'm afraid there will be a bigger show to be staged in the future."
Huo Lei's strange voice came, and Feng Yidang was stunned.
It's enough trouble to be caught up by the British Royal Fleet, what else can there be?
Seeing Feng Yi's puzzled eyes, Huo Lei glanced at the sea surface that was not much surprising, and sighed lightly:
"The storm is coming soon, and although I can't tell the specific strength yet, it shouldn't be too small."
Hearing Horay's words, Ian's eyes lit up and said:
"The storm is good! I don't dare to say anything else, but if I want to say that I am riding a boat in the storm, I am really confident that I am in the top 10 in the Caribbean! ”
Ian was confident in what he said, but few people questioned it.
Especially Ian's former subordinates, in their opinion, there are still many clumsy elements in Ian's words......
"Shhhh Even if you can protect the Hades, what about the other ships? ”
At this time, Anna suddenly snorted and sneered.
Ian couldn't help choking, Anna was right, he didn't know how to doppelgänger, at most he could keep the Hades alive, and he didn't have the slightest way to deal with other ships.
"It's okay, I trust the abilities of the other brothers."
Although Feng Yi couldn't see any signs of a storm coming, he still believed in Huo Lei's words.
The sky was white, and the morning light had just rippled a few waves from the sea, but the next moment it was shrouded in endless haze.
Boom!
Suddenly, a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in the blinding lightning, and then, the lightning flashed into a snake, the silver hook danced wildly, and the dark clouds stacked into a ball, covering the sky tightly.
On the north side of Gonave Island, two fleets with a total of nearly 500 ships are facing each other in the mist of water.
Originally, they were going to decide the battle today, but this sudden change in weather made the commanders of the two fleets hesitate.
After all, judging by the severity, intensity, and speed of the weather changes, there is a high probability that there will be a huge storm on the surface of the sea;
If you start fighting rashly, you will definitely be inseparable for a while when the storm comes, and no one will be able to please you under the entanglement at that time.
But if they don't fight, then both sides are a little unwilling.
Because they are very confident in their hole cards, but the reason why the hole cards are hole cards is that they can only play a role in the shortest and most critical time;
If it takes a while, I'm afraid that the news about the hole cards will be given by the other party, and then it will be very bad.
In the midst of such a hesitant confrontation, it seemed that he had saved up enough energy, and the heavy raindrops began to catharsis unexpectedly......
Dozens of nautical miles to the west.
"Phew!"
Feng Yi hatefully spat out the seawater that splashed into his mouth, looking at the columns of water that rose around the fleet from time to time, and almost wanted to breathe fire in his eyes.
He didn't expect that the gap between the armed merchant ships and the real warships would be so big, and he originally thought that he would always be able to distance himself from afar;
But he didn't expect that he was chased by the other party not long after he left Jeremi Island and Reef.
Along the way, the British fleet sent fast assault ships to the front several times, if it were not for the intimidation of the Hades, and suddenly turned sideways and sank the opponent's three assault ships, I am afraid that they would have been surrounded by groups at this moment.
The British fleet was afraid of the powerful firepower of the Hades, and did not dare to press too hard, but they continued to bombard the Hades fleet with their bow guns.
Although its bow guns combined were less than two hundred, it still put a lot of pressure on Hades' fleet.
At present, no ship has been recruited, but Feng Yi knows that if this continues, Lady Luck will patronize the British fleet sooner or later.
Looking at the steaming sea, Feng Yi suddenly had a good idea in his heart......
"Someone!"
"Hades!"
"Eight sets of 15 rounds were tied to crystal shells, then carried in whale mats, wrapped in canvas, and thrown into the sea.
Then send the best gunner to operate the eight sets of crystal cannons in the stern of the ship, calculate the influencing factors and angles of each party, and blow up the enemy fleet when it reaches the vicinity! ”
"Yes!"
A sailor quickly took the order to go to the arrangement, and Ian and the others were all bright-eyed, obviously feeling that Feng Yi's arrangement was full of operability.
The waves have become bigger and bigger, and the waves have even reached two or three meters, and the rain of bullets is still pouring in such bad sea conditions.
When the more than thirty assault ships noticed a few gray cloth balls floating on the sea, they were obviously a little confused.
However, I didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it is common to encounter shipwrecks in the Caribbean.
The assault ship group quickly swept by, and the main force of the British fleet followed.
"Launch!"
When the front of the main force of the British fleet exceeded the eight regiments, Feng Yi screamed violently.
The eight gunners, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately locked on to the aiming range, and then instinctively pulled the wire lead.
These eight cannon sounds were not conspicuous in the messy cannon sound and the surging thunder, but in the next moment, the explosion of the sea shaking the sky made this heaven and earth strangely deaf.
It was accompanied by the instant disintegration of more than a dozen warships, as well as the tragic deaths and desperate wails of countless soldiers.
Intense, blinding silver light coalesced into a cloud of red fire.
Once the thunder is about to shock the sky, the wind and rain will freeze the sea!
Norrington clutched the baffle tightly, looking at the thirteen battleships that were sinking rapidly, and his eyes were cracked and a little suspicious.
Along the way, what should have been a simple pursuit became impossible to start, and this is not something that simple-minded blacks can do!
Norrington didn't know who his current opponent was, he only knew that the man was extremely difficult to deal with, and he was so stabbing that he couldn't do it.
It's not something that no one has ever thought about when they tie up a crystal bomb and throw it on the surface of the sea to detonate it once, but given the cost and the difficulty of maneuvering, no one has actually done it.
Now, this grape was tasted by others first, but at the cost of the sinking of more than a dozen of his warships!
You know, there are three fifth-class warships among them!
Under such circumstances, Norrington couldn't help but hesitate a little, he didn't know anything about the enemy, so he chased and fought fiercely, not knowing how much more he would lose to achieve his goal.
But the hesitation was only for a moment, and Norrington quickly reaffirmed his resolve.
After all, the Interceptor's stuff and involvement are too big, and he must take it back! Have to!
But Norrington didn't dare to push too hard, the other party's methods were too strange and unpredictable, and he needed to be cautious.
"Leave three ships to rescue the survivors, order the assault group not to press too hard, widen the distance, and watch out for any anomalies.
Order the main force of the fleet to be divided into three ship groups, and you must stick to those bastards! ”
"Yes!"
A thunderous blow made the British fleet's arrogant posture restrain a lot, but Feng Yi was not satisfied with this.
is so embarrassed to be chased, he always has to get some interest back first.
As a result, in the time that followed, things were left scattered on the ships of Hades' fleet.
Many of these things were useless, but the British fleet did not dare to be careless.
Either stay out of the way, or send a small boat to carefully come forward to check.
During this period, real crystal shells were also lowered or even detonated, and although the British fleet was not damaged again, it was still frightened.
As a result, the sound of artillery began to become sporadic because the fire of the British fleet no longer focused on the Hades fleet, but would shoot in advance to eliminate the threat when it encountered something that could not be avoided.
The sailors on the Hades fleet were a little frightened before, after all, it was the main force of the British Royal Navy fleet! That's more than 200 warships!
Aside from the Hades, the Hades fleet is like babies and strong men.
Moreover, the speed of armed merchant ships is slower than that of warships, and their performance is naturally worse, and if they are caught up and contained, they will definitely be in trouble.
At the same time, they were all dissatisfied with Feng Yi in their hearts, why did you provoke the British Royal Navy? Isn't this looking for death!
But along the way, when the British fleet was effortlessly destroyed more than a dozen warships, and forced the other party to dare not approach, everyone was boiling.
The dissatisfaction with Feng Yi in their hearts has long been thrown into nowhere, and the only thing they have at this moment is full of worship for Feng Yi.
And as the thunder roared, the impassioned pirate song roared again......
"Hades! More than a dozen reconnaissance cruisers were spotted five nautical miles ahead! ”
In the pouring rain, the voice of the observer came from above, and Feng Yi's eyes suddenly showed a hint of brightness.
According to Horay, it was very close to the northern side of the island of Gonaf, and if it was expected, it must have been a Bourbon or Habsburg guard ship.
Originally, Feng Yi was worried that in such bad weather, the two sides would give up the big war, but now it seems that the two sides should still be on the battlefield.
"Keep watching!"
"Yes!"
"Hades! Two massive ship groups have been spotted seven nautical miles ahead! ”
It wasn't long before the voice of the observer came again.
Feng Yi's heart was relieved and at the same time, he was even more happy.
One nautical mile is more than 1,800 meters, and seven nautical miles is more than 13,000 meters, and according to the current speed of Hades' fleet, such a distance can be reached in about ten minutes.
But listening to the meaning of the observer, it seems that the two sides have not started a fight yet?
If there is a battle, the battlefield will be chaotic, and it is impossible to say that there are two groups of ships.
Thinking of this, Feng Yi raised his head and asked:
"Did the two fleets ever fight?"
"Back to Hades, no! There is a distance of more than 1,000 meters between the two sides at this time, and looking at their situation, it seems that they are planning to retreat! ”
Feng Yi couldn't help frowning, and wanted to retreat?
It seems that the fleets of the two dynasties saw that the storm was getting stronger and stronger, so they didn't want to fight.
However, they can't afford not to fight!
I still have to take advantage of the troubled waters, if they withdraw, their plans will be all in vain.
