"General, the battle plan has been conveyed."

"Good."

On the deck of Galen's sailboat, Twill's eyes were always on the sailing fleet that was getting closer and closer in the distance, but the look on his face was far less nervous than before.

As a famous admiral of the French Empire, Twill naturally knew all the tactics of naval confrontation, although there are not many records of this famous French admiral in history, but his strength and power are beyond doubt.

Defeating eight ships with two ships is an amazing record that Twill has ever created, and the opponent he defeated was not an unknown junior, but Horatio. Nelson, the most famous admiral of the English sailing era!

Nelson fought many battles in his life, and fought many famous naval battles, but the most famous one was the Battle of Trafalgar.

The Battle of Trafalgar was one of the greatest victories in British naval history, and the British and French were commanded by one of the most famous opponents in history, the legendary British Vice Admirals Nelson and Wernerve.

On October 21, 1805, the two fleets met off Cape Trafalgar, Spain, and the decisive battle was inevitable, lasting five hours, and due to the superiority of British command, tactics and training, the French combined fleet suffered a decisive blow, and the commander Villeneuve was captured. After this battle, the elite of the French navy was lost, and since then it has been in decline, and Napoleon, the once supreme emperor in French history, was forced to abandon his plan to attack the British mainland. And the position of British maritime supremacy was consolidated.

And such a genius naval commander was defeated, but in the case of absolute superiority, he still lost to Twill.

Of course, there is luck in this, but Twill's determination and command ability can be seen how amazing.

Originally, because of the considerable unequal combat power, Twill was ready for a desperate battle, but His Majesty directly summoned the galleon Galen and five heavy gales, but the balance of victory was completely tilted in his side.

However, he did not have the slightest contempt for his opponent because of this, on the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, and the slightest carelessness will fall into a place of no return, and naval battles, especially so!

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.

Therefore, after some consideration, he still let his warships use T-shaped gun battle tactics.

The so-called T-shaped artillery battle refers to a combat formation that is more commonly used in naval operations. He came from the famous British Admiral Albimar, who had been elaborating this tactic since the British built the 54-gun battleship Prince. Later, it gradually became a classic tactic of naval warfare.

The core concept of tactics is that when the naval battle begins, our fleet is in a horizontal formation relative to the opponent, and the enemy is in a column against you, so that you can concentrate the firepower of the whole team to bombard the opponent's beginning, and the firepower you bear is the least, but the catharsis of the firepower is maximized.

However, at this time, because of the existence of the absolute killer of the Galen sailboat, Twill also changed the original tactics slightly, and the only thing they want to guarantee or must avoid is to let the opposite battleship burst to the side of the Galen sailboat, after all, no matter how obvious the firepower advantage is, once they are entangled by more than 20 warships on the opposite side and let the other party engage in a string battle, then their original absolute advantage will be indifferent.

Therefore, Chopin's newly recruited heavy Canadian battleships naturally took on the difficult task of blocking the approaching enemy warships.

And at the necessary moment, in order to block the approach of those battleships on the opposite side, even if you pay the heavy price of all these heavy Canadian battleships, you must not let the other side break through.

I have to say that such a tactical arrangement is naturally a bit cruel, but war has always been like this, and sometimes it is necessary to give up something in order to maximize vested interests.

However, once the galleons of Galen were in place, if the sail warships on the opposite side did not approach the siege at the first time, then their demise was already doomed.

For these navies of the French Empire, the move to seize the T-type position was easily completed, and with only a few changes in a few directions, the sidestrings of the heavy Canadian battleships were lined up, but at this time, the opposing battleships were still approaching without hurry, as if they were completely unaware of the disadvantage they were in.

"What a foolish move."

Twill's brows furrowed slightly, looking at the sail warships on the opposite side that still had no tactical moves, and he couldn't help but let out a cold snort in his nose.

Originally, he thought that the other party might be able to give him something different, but he didn't expect that the other party's performance was no different from those navies he had fought before, and he didn't have any tactical awareness at all.

"Where did they get the courage?"

Looking at the sail battleship that was rushing over, Twill couldn't help but say with a little mockery.

However, while he was a little speechless, Twill remembered his first naval battle after coming to this other world, and the situation at that time seemed to be the same.

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, and there are almost no tactics to speak of.

When the two sides are far apart, they first use trebuchets and ballistas to shoot a wave, and as the distance between them continues to approach, the two sides use bows and arrows to shoot a few rounds, and then either use the warships under them to rush straight over, or start the most bloody and cruel hand-to-hand combat, the battleships collide on the endless sea, at least 90 of the 100 battles end in this way, as for the remaining 10 times, there is not even a confrontation between trebuchets and ballistas, it is a chaotic rush up is a fight.

***********

Just when Twill laughed at Jeffrey and his group for being ignorant, the other party was looking at them like this at this time.

A full twenty-four warships against nine warships, such an obvious strategic advantage, the other side did not have the slightest intention of dodging, but seemed to be preparing to meet it head-on.

Are all these guys here to die?

The huge gap in quantity, even if they and the other party are forcefully consumed, it is enough to consume their side to death.

Under the overwhelming superiority, whether it was the naval soldiers under Jeffrey or the captains of the warships, they all believed that there was 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, what will eventually bloom on these ships is a scarlet flower soaked in countless blood.

And in such a situation where the combat power is absolutely unequal, at this time, the captains of each battleship will inevitably become active, and victory is inevitable, but how to divide the interests after that, this is a problem, although these guys know that the real big head will definitely not fall on them, but it is good to be able to drink soup after all, after all, the interests of a drifting island are undoubtedly huge.

"There is no suspense at all!"

And while the captains were moving all kinds of thoughts, Jeffrey also came to such a positive conclusion.

No matter how strange these warships are, when the number of warships and the number of navies are completely inferior to theirs, it is only a fantasy to win.

Originally, when he saw these sail warships in front of him, Geoffrey was more or less worried, thinking that there was some conspiracy, but now, it seems that this is not the case at all.

In addition to the ten warships in front of him, there are no other ships on the sea, which makes Jeffrey secretly scold himself for being stupid while making false alarms, the average Drifting Island Lord, how many warships can there be ten real warships, and at the moment, these sail warships are estimated to be all the other party's belongings and confidence, and they are ready to fight to the death.

Jeffrey, who thought he had guessed the other party's thoughts, suddenly relaxed a lot when he thought of this, and then under his order, all the battleships were lined up like this, and then they surrounded and suppressed them like this.

It's just that neither those warriors nor Geoffrey ever imagined, nor could they possibly have imagined, what kind of terrifying and abominable hell demons the seemingly harmless bronze tubes carried on the battleships would turn into once the hypocritical faces on the surface were torn......

***********

As the distance between the two sides continued to recede, the gun windows on the side chords also opened in unison to the shouts of the sailors.

Then the artillery, which can be called to change the history and course of naval warfare, is also slowly revealed.

The swarthy barrels of the guns were aimed at the approaching sail warships in front of them, but the foolish guys on the other side still did not notice their situation in the slightest.

The surging waves were rolling, and looking at the naval soldiers who were already clearly visible on the battleship in the distance, Twill's always cold face also showed a rare smile at this time.

"Are the gunners ready?"

"Yes, my lord, everything has been arranged."

Jiman on the side answered.

"Hmm."

Twell nodded, and then said no more, but his expression became solemn unconsciously, but his gaze, from beginning to end, still fell on the sail warships opposite.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was approaching within a kilometer, and this was precisely the limit of the artillery range.

Naturally, the naval soldiers under Jeffrey's command did not know that they had completely stepped into the realm of death, and the sword of Damoris hanging above their heads could fall at any time, and they rushed forward happily one by one.

In their opinion, there is no suspense about the victory of this war, and what awaits them after the war is naturally unscrupulous burning, killing and looting, so all the naval soldiers at this moment are showing unprecedented enthusiasm.

At this moment, Twell took a deep breath, pulled out the standard longsword in his hand, and swung it hard.

"All guns !!"

With a loud and calm sound, Jiman immediately shouted to several heralds on the side.

After all, it was only the navy of the 18th century, but 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 speed far faster than those navies on the other side, and all this was due to the flag.

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.

"All fire—"

"All fire—"

"All fire—"

……

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-"

Seven heavy Canadian battleships, a total of 28 7-pounder guns, a brig, 12 9-pounder guns, plus a Gaia galleon, 72 24-pounder guns, this moment roared out of the clamor of hundreds of guns!

The black shells flew out in unison at this moment, a huge roar sounded almost at the same moment, and the sprayed flames were like a long dragon in a row, 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 rubbing 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, only the smoke of gunpowder brought up by the artillery, still rotating and rising, and then drifting in no direction......
