Chapter 141. Tough T-prefix tactics!

Ships of the Middle Ages were usually armed with bows and arrows to fight at sea, sometimes engaging in ramming and securing battles. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With eleven warships against the thirty warships on the other side, even though Tver was once the most famous admiral of the French Empire, he did not dare to be careless.

Although seven of the warships are equipped with modern artillery, they cannot be underestimated against those large medieval merchant ships, after all, on this endless ocean, it may not be too difficult to hit a warship, but if you want to sink it, there are too many problems.

And in the face of thirty warships at the same time, this difficulty has undoubtedly increased too much again.

Even if the salvo of the twenty or so guns above the seven battleships can instantly destroy the battleships in front, once the battleships in the rear rush over and are caught by the other side, and there is a ramming battle or hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, then for Twill's side, the blow will undoubtedly be fatal.

In the case that the number and the battleship are not superior, once they are approached by the other side, it means that the only hole card they can turn over - the artillery is completely useless, so even if they can finally defeat the opponent, I am afraid that there are very few survivors.

Of course, the more likely thing is that they ...... Annihilation!

As a famous French naval admiral, Tver naturally had a lot of naval tactics in mind, but in the end, he still put on the T-shaped tactics that Chopin had proposed earlier.

This was the basic formation of naval warfare in World War II, which was dominated by battleship shelling, but Twill's use at this time also complemented each other.

The core idea of this tactic is that when you start a naval battle, your fleet is in a horizontal formation relative to your opponent, and the enemy is facing you in columns, so you can concentrate the fire of the whole team to bombard the opponent's beginning, and take the least amount of fire damage yourself.

This so-called T-shaped tactic, which is what many books talk about, comes from the era when the guns were arranged on both sides in the era of sail warships, and the side firepower had a great advantage over the bow firepower.

This means that our line of battle is directly in front of the enemy's line, so that our troops can fire all the broadside fire in a salvo, while only a few enemy ships can return fire from the front guns.

However, Twell made a slight change, placing the brig in the center of the eleven warships, and the four armed merchant ships equipped with trebuchets were only to attract and block the cannon fodder on the opposite side.

As long as the brigs and the heavy Canadian battleships can maintain a continuous fire tilt, then even if the number of warships on the opposite side is three times that of their own side, they will definitely not be able to withstand such a firepower blow.

The thirty battleships on the opposite side were almost all equipped with large offensive weapons such as trebuchets and ballistas, and the destructive power generated in an instant may still be far less powerful than the salvo of his artillery, but it is also enough to severely damage or even sink any battleship.

It is also for this reason that Twill did not hesitate to put the four large merchant ships without artillery in the forefront as cannon fodder.

When all this was arranged, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then observed the movements of the navy on the opposite side through the telescope, but the next discovery couldn't help but surprise him.

The battleships in the distance were lined up in three rows and crashed straight forward, and it seemed that they were preparing to rush straight ahead.

These fleet commanders on the Endless Sea don't have any concept of being the first to take the lead in the T-shape.

When the two sides are far apart, they first use trebuchets and ballistas to shoot wildly, and as the distance between them continues to approach, the two sides shoot a few rounds with bows and arrows, and then either use the warships under them to rush straight over, or start the most bloody and cruel hand-to-hand combat.

In a way, naval tactics on the Endless Sea are far behind those of the ignorant Middle Ages.

After all, the latter still has a certain platform for communication, and there are countless historical lessons to learn from.

And due to the blockage of information and the inconvenience of communication, the war at sea in the endless sea is still so bad that there are almost no tactics to speak of.

Twell stared blankly at the battleships in the distance for a moment before he realized the world he was in now.

"I really don't know how to describe these guys as ignorant or fearless."

"No, Lord Twill, they should be said to be ignorant...... Fearless! ”

Jiman looked at the battleships that were rushing straight in the distance, and he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"I don't know who gave them the courage ......"

Twell shook his head with a smile, and then continued,

"These arrogant guys, let them experience the roar from Earth Technology!"

On both sides of the cabins of the warships, there are hidden windows that have been carved out.

With that shouting vigorously, the heavy guns were slowly pushed out, and with the adjustment of the gunners, the guns were already aimed at the battleships in front of them, and the sailors on it were still talking and laughing, completely unaware that one of their feet had reached the abyss of hell.

The bronze pipes the size of bowls are like bloodthirsty beasts, which may show their terrifying and hideous at any time.

**********

Ten warships against thirty warships, if it weren't for the fact that the big killer weapon of artillery was enough to crush the opponent at the strategic level, Twill would not have the slightest confidence that he could defeat the opponent.

After all, no matter how subtle the tactics he arranged, he couldn't stop the enemy who kept pressing like a wolf and a tiger.

The huge gap in the number of warships tripled, even if it was consumed by the other side, it was enough to consume their side to death.

With the absolute superiority in numbers, whether it is the elite soldiers under Forders or the sailors under Conrad, they all think that there is no suspense about the outcome of this war.

Even if they don't rely on the trebuchets and ballistas on the ships to shoot constantly to crush each other, as long as they are allowed to approach the past and engage in hand-to-hand combat, the final bloom on these ships is a scarlet flower, soaked in countless blood.

It's just that the soldiers on the other side didn't think of it, and it was impossible to think of it, was that the bronze pipes that seemed harmless to humans and animals on the battleships were carried,

Once the hypocritical face is torn apart, what kind of terrifying and hateful hell devil will it become......
