Chapter 93: The Battle at Sea

The two fleets lined up on the surface of the sea and began the first round of firepower. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ten nautical miles away, although it was within the effective range of the artillery, the accuracy and power were completely insufficient.

This round of bombardment is just a pre-war prestige, boosting one's own morale and intimidating the enemy's prestige. Judging from the firepower of both sides, it is obvious that the pirates' side is at a loss.

Immediately, the ships of the two sides pressed forward in groups and launched a second round of attacks. Planck's First Fleet was immediately sunk with two forward ships, losing more than a tenth of its combat strength.

At the same time, a large number of ships of the Imperial fleet were hit by sporadic fire, but none of them were seriously injured and there was basically no battle damage.

Planck yelled in anger and ordered the pirate fleet to continue the assault.

Lin Feng immediately understood that the tactics of the two sides were obviously completely different, and the commander's ability was very different.

The Imperial Army launched a concentrated fire attack with superior forces, and immediately gave priority to destroying targets that threatened their own side. On the other hand, the pirates' forces are already at a disadvantage, and there are no tactics to speak of.

That's the difference between a regular army and a pirate, Planck's cargo is finished today.

Thinking like this, Lin Feng already had a plan to slip away.

Planck shouted at him from the boat: "Brother Lin Feng, your boat is the fastest, hurry up and kill those fools for your brother." ”

If you want to mess around on Blue Flame Island or have a good relationship with this cargo, Lin Feng hesitated for a moment and ordered the Glory to rush out of the enemy's firepower coverage area and rush from the flank of the fleet.

The Glory had broken away from the main fleet in a moment, and it seemed to be charging in the direction of the enemy line, but in fact, it was always floating outside the enemy's firepower with its ultra-high speed.

After taking up the attack position, the Glory immediately opened fire. Lin Feng ordered to target the second-rate warships in the middle of the Imperial Army, pick up soft persimmons, and attack those small ships with slow speed and weak firepower.

With a salvo, the Glory took out three Imperial ships. The pirates counted the results of the battle, and it was only the number, and Lin Feng took the lead this time. What's more, the Imperial Army is being killed by worthless targets, and the Glory doesn't absorb too much hatred because of this.

Carter leaned on the window to observe the battle situation, and secretly scolded this Lin Feng in his heart for being a little slippery.

Lin Feng's Glory was showing off its might on the flanks, and the second-rate warships of the Imperial Army couldn't run away if they wanted to, they couldn't reach it if they wanted to, and they couldn't catch up with each other.

At the same time, under the fire of the main warships of the Imperial Navy, Planck's First Fleet and his Black Pearl were in bad luck.

"Grandma's, this battle is really bad. No, I'm going to kill the damn Imperials. ”

Planck kicked a cannonball off the deck, blackened by the aftermath of the explosion, and scolded the herald to send a flag to the Glory.

"Brother, give me a good fight, do their main force."

Lin Feng immediately replied in flag: "Big brother, I haven't fought with the Imperial Army, what is their main force?" ”

Planck frowned, and immediately gave another order: "Pick on them, and catch which one is which." ”

"Okay. Big brother, you wait and see. ”

Lin Feng held back a wicked smile and ordered the Glory to move forward at full speed, and the Glory had already rushed to the rear of the Imperial fleet from the side.

The Glory fired all the firepower, taking out all three supply ships of the Imperial fleet in a single salvo, each of which was the largest.

The Imperial fleet finally felt the pressure from the flanks, and immediately dispatched several capital warships to this direction. The Glory, however, had already turned around and slipped away, running faster than the rabbit.

Planck couldn't say anything when he saw this, and was thinking about how to pass on the next order to Lin Feng.

At this time, the flag was raised on the mast of the Glory, which was rapidly retreating: "Our ship has completed its mission and is being attacked by the enemy." Our ship has exhausted its ammunition reserves and has requested to withdraw from the battle. ”

Where would Planck believe this kind of nonsense, and immediately asked: "Brother, you have only fired a few shots, and you can run out of ammunition?" Hold on to me and keep firing. ”

Lin Feng immediately replied: "The ammunition is too expensive, we are very poor, and if we want to fire, we can only pull off our heads and stuff them into the barrel." ”

Planck: "Don't be afraid, brother, we're about to rush over and fight the Imperial Army." You're fast, come here. ”

Lin Feng: "Big brother, don't worry, our ship has suffered heavy damage and serious damage, waiting for rest and recuperation to fight again." ”

As soon as the flag on the Glory was issued, the speed immediately slowed down. used to be like a rabbit, but now he suddenly became a king.

Planck was suspicious and inquired about the battle damage on the Glory, and immediately received a series of intermittent replies from the flag.

"Our ship was extremely damaged...... More than half of the casualties have been imposed. ”

"The heralds have lost several of them, and this last one is dying......"

"Ah...... I can't...... To die, to die. ”

The flag on the Glory waved a few last times, and then suddenly vanished.

Planck was also helpless, thinking in his heart that the combat effectiveness of the Lin Feng brothers' team was not good, and it seemed that they would have to train well in the future. Besides, we'll have to get some points for them. If this pirate even cries for himself, he won't be laughed at if he spreads the word.

Planck's flagship, the Black Pearl, was known as "rough-skinned and thick-skinned", and he withstood the enemy's artillery fire and led his team to rush towards the Imperial fleet.

It is true that pirates' tactics differ from those of regular armies, and they generally do not fire at target ships during raids, so they are usually weaker in firepower. However, speed and agility were their greatest strengths, and after losing more than half of Planck's First Fleet, the remaining ships finally rushed into the Imperial army with the help of favorable winds.

The pirate ships scattered and scattered, each looking for a target. Once it entered the stage of boarding operations, the Imperial Army suddenly lost the upper hand.

Imperial soldiers are known for their bravery, but in any case the navy's ability to fight in close combat is no match for the army, and the pirates are best at hand-to-hand combat.

The fleet commander realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered the ships to retreat at full speed. Even though they reacted in time, they still had to abandon more than a dozen warships.

The main force of the Imperial fleet regrouped in the distance, and when they saw the soldiers of both sides mixed on the battleships on the battlefield, they did not know where to attack for a while.

It didn't take long for the pirates who had boarded the ship to fight had already captured the ships one after another. But in the distance, the Imperials saw that there were fewer and fewer pirates on those ships, and the soldiers on the ships seemed to be resisting the attack.

After a while, the Imperial warships in the battlefield began to slowly maneuver, and seemed to end the battle and wanted to return to the team.

In the distance, in the main fleet of the Empire, the soldiers began to cheer, thinking that the pirates had been defeated.

At this moment, flames suddenly erupted from the swarthy muzzles of the battleships.

Rumble......

With a salvo, the main fleet of the Imperial Army, which was caught off guard, suffered heavy losses, and only then did it understand and begin to launch a counterattack.

And on the ten Imperial warships here, the pirates are wearing the military uniforms of the Imperials, manipulating the cannons of the Imperials, and bombarding another group of Imperials. Not only did they play with their opponents, but they also mocked them for being stupid. The captured Imperial soldiers on board were insulted and had to reload the pirates with cannonballs.

And behind these warships, several pirate ships that were moored suddenly resumed their operations. Many pirates are emerging from the water and quickly climbing onto the ship. They were all men of the previously wrecked ships, and the pirates were all human spirits who had jumped into the sea long before the ship was devastated.

At this moment, they randomly found a ship and started the battle again, with guns and guns, and reloads. They don't know each other, but they don't need to command and communicate with each other to cooperate tacitly. Such a way of fighting is unimaginable for the regular army, but it is commonplace for pirates.

It didn't take long to be under the cover of the fire of the battleships ahead. The rear pirate ship rushed out again and struck in the direction of the main fleet of the Empire.

The Imperial Army suffered a loss, where did they dare to fight, casually bombarded two rounds of blockade in the direction of the pirate ship's assault, and immediately withdrew from the battlefield in a hurry.

In the end, the results of the battle were counted, and the pirate fleet itself lost more than half of its ships, but captured more than a dozen warships of the Imperial Army. The two were offset, and Planck's First Fleet had at least superficially increased its combat power.

As for the damage, hehe, as long as you return to Blue Flame Island, there will be a large group of pirates who want to fight on the ship.
