Naval battles in Empire: Total War are obviously much more complex than in the average game, but they are still traceable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, what "tail flicking tactics" and "seizing the T position", as well as changes such as what basic three tactics, and even the impact of tailwind, headwind, and crosswind on the battle situation must be considered, but compared with the real naval battle, it is still a little insignificant.

On the battlefield, it is ever-changing, and the slightest mistake can lead to a place of no return, especially in naval battles!

Even though the other side put on such a chaotic queue with no tactics to speak of, Twill still seemed quite cautious.

And when the battleships on the opposite side broke through to a distance of only more than a thousand meters from the most advanced battleships on their side, Twill's face became more and more solemn, and then he directly pulled out the long sword pinned to his waist through stamping technology, even in this hot summer, the cold and cold light brought out by the long sword was enough to make everyone around him throb.

"Pass my orders, all ready!"

"Understood, the order goes down, and everyone prepares!"

Giman took a deep breath before hurriedly shouting to the heralds on the side.

After all, it was only the navy of the 18th century, and it did not have the high-tech communication equipment of those modern navies, but as the elite soldiers of the French Empire, they transmitted information on the sea at a much faster speed than those navies on the other side, and all this was due to the flag.

The first origin of the flag language was with the Englishman Robert Hooke in 1684, who used to hang several distinct symbols to communicate. In 1793, the Frenchman Clou Chab used the position and angle of the wooden arms of the cross moving up and down to represent each letter, which was called a "signal marker".

The news that the legendary Emperor Na absconded from the exiled island of Elba to Paris in 1814 quickly spread throughout Europe, but no one knows whether this is true or not.

And as the herald waved the flag to relay the news, the other ten warships also reacted quickly.

A gunner dragged out a mop-like cleaning rod from under the gun carriage, and then tinkered with it a few times, and so on a few times, and the barrel was cleared, and then the black pressed iron ball was stuffed into the bronze nozzle, and the hot tongs were already ready, and then, waiting for the final firing order!

"General Twill!"

1,000,000,900,800......

Looking at the approaching battleships, Jiman couldn't sit still, although he had great trust in this legendary admiral, but if he couldn't use artillery to sink or deter the other party before those enemies approached, and give them the opportunity to engage in ramming or hand-to-hand combat, then the situation would be too bad when the number of battleships and the number of sailors were both at an absolute disadvantage.

At the same moment, the soldiers on the opposite side of the battleships looked at the sailors who stayed in place one by one, still not dodging or attacking, and their faces couldn't help but show confusion.

Although it has an overwhelming advantage in the number of warships, it is naturally impossible to say that the other side surrenders or does not resist.

The trapped beasts are still fighting, but they don't know what tricks these enemies are playing.

However, once they get close to the past and engage in hand-to-hand combat, then the other party will want to escape, and I am afraid that there will be no chance.

Twill, however, didn't pay any attention to the almost roaring reminder from the other party, and his sharp eyes stared at the battleships in front of him, as if he was forgetful.

This behavior clearly made Giman anxious, and his feet kept pacing back and forth on the deck, as if to step the ship out of a hole.

And just when he was about to give the order to attack without authorization, Twill, who was originally standing like a dry stone, suddenly widened his eyes, and then the long sword like a white mang quickly slashed down from the void.

"All fire!"

With a loud roar, the distance between the two sides was already less than 700 meters, and if they broke forward two or three hundred meters, the trebuchets on the opposite side of the battleships were afraid that they could directly attack the warships on Chopin's side.

Jiman didn't have time to think about anything more at this time, and hurriedly shouted at the heralds on the side: "Fire, fire!"

And with the fluttering of the flags, there were bursts of roars that spread like the wind in this sea area, and dozens or hundreds of people shouted in unison, like rolling waves slapping the shore, and for a while, even the whistling wind was also suppressed alive.

At this time, the distance between the two sides has approached 500 meters.

The soldiers who were still worried about any accidents before were also relieved at this time, and looked at the eyes of those sailors under Chopin, which also turned from the initial solemnity to an undisguised mockery, in their opinion, those soldiers on the opposite side were afraid that they were not scared stupid, until now, there was no intention to dodge, but they vaguely saw a soldier who didn't know what to shout.

As one of the commanders of the navy this time, Lord Roman's henchman, Dix, also looked a little confused at this time, according to the information transmitted, the other party's navy was able to defeat the fleet under Viscount Riel.

But what does it mean for the other party to act like this now, to surrender with their hands tied? Slaughtered? Or is it deliberately pretending?

However, no matter what means those guys on the other side are playing, as long as they can collide head-on with each other, whether it is a collision battle or hand-to-hand combat, then there will be no suspense about the outcome of this battle, and they have an absolute advantage in numbers, and what they have achieved will definitely be brilliant results.

"Master Dicks, what are we going to do now? Looking at the other party's situation, it seems to be deceitful. ”

Standing on deck with him was none other than Conrad's naval commander Bodri, who controlled the other half of the fleet's warships.

However, even Conrad did not dare to provoke the descendants of Fordes, and how could Bodry dare to offend the other party, and when he spoke, he was also respectful.

In the face of the other party's inquiry, Dicks just responded lightly: "Full speed ahead!"

*********

Bursts of roars crossed the constraints of space, and the gunners who had been ready for a long time also reacted immediately, and hurriedly clamped the red-hot fire tongs in their hands to the fire rope soaked in grease in advance.

With the sharp rise of black smoke, the blazing fire penetrated into the tiny hole, and the bronze barrel began to vibrate violently, like a bloodthirsty beast, the violence and ferocity suppressed in the depths of the bloodline were completely released.

"Boom!"

"Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom T

Dozens of black-pressed cannonballs flew out in unison, a huge roar sounded almost at the same moment, and the flames of the jets were like a long dragon, rolling wantonly on the blue sea, and the thick gunpowder smoke screen spread rapidly, enveloping more than a dozen warships in the opposite central area.

Loud roars were like slanting thunderbolts, falling from the void.

The solid iron balls that were pressed by the black, under the impetus of the terrifying force driven by the explosion of gunpowder, the barriers of time and space were easily broken at this time.

The round and fiery iron ball, like a meteor across the sky, brought a beautiful arc in mid-air, and then smashed steadily on the battleships in the distance.

Along with it was the screaming of the iron balls when they rubbed against the air, and the piercing sound was like the wail of a demon crawling out of the abyss of hell.

And with the whining of the howling wind, the picture of hell in front of me seemed to freeze forever.

When the solid iron balls smashed down, the distance between the two sides was less than 500 meters, but the sailors who had only reacted on the battleships were difficult to break forward.

**********

12 9-pounder guns on a brig,

The 16 7-pounder guns on the four heavy Canadian battleships, and the four 6-pounder guns on the two light Canadian battleships, the shells fired by the 32 guns, and the stones thrown by the eight trebuchets carried by the remaining four large converted merchant ships, almost instantaneously, all rained down on the opposing ships.

Generally speaking, the guns on the battleship will be placed on both sides of the ship's cabin, and if all the guns are placed on one side and fired at the same time, the huge recoil force generated in an instant may even overturn the entire battleship.

However, according to Twill's order, long before the two sides started the battle, all the guns on all the battleships had been moved to the gun holes in front of the ships.

Without the gun window and the gun position reset cable, it is undoubtedly a very risky thing to adjust the distribution of gun positions in naval battles, and once the artillery weighing several tons gets out of control, the damage to one's own warship is also quite amazing.

To a certain extent, in this naval battle, Twill was gambling, in 1801 with the "soul of the British Navy" Admiral Nelson's confrontation, he used similar means, with two warships, defeated the opponent's eight warships, and at the same time made Twill's reputation even more prosperous.

Twell didn't want to take such a risk, but just as he had been forced to fight Nelson's eight ships with two ships, how could he have done such a desperate act if he could.

In the current situation, with eleven warships against the thirty warships on the opposite side, although there is an amazing lethal weapon such as artillery, the number of guns on those battleships is too small, and on top of the eleven battleships, only seven warships are actually equipped with artillery.

It is simply impossible to carry out the so-called fire suppression of thirty battleships on the opposite side.

Therefore, in desperation, he could only take risks, but fortunately, this time he won the bet again, but no one knew that when the curtain came down on this naval battle, the legendary admiral of the French Navy was already sweating.

And just when this naval battle had just begun, the decisive battle on land was already approaching the end.
