Chapter 8: The Battle of the Harbor

Destroy a pirate dhow, get a wooden box, open it to get three gold coins, and get a few more experience, plus the previous pirate captain, Gangzi's level has been upgraded to level 4, and there are three attribute points to add.

The initial attributes of the four-dimensional characters in "The Nation" are:

Strength 5 affects Attack Damage

Tenacity 5 affects toughness

Constitution 5 affects physical strength

Agility 5 affects speed

Physique affects physical strength, the more physical strength the safer life is, not to mention that the captain's skills also consume physical strength.

As soon as his physique increased a little, Liang Hong on the side said: "The captain's agility can affect the speed of the ship. ”

Is there such a good thing? Who thinks their boat is slow! Since it has been decided to carry out the pirate business to the end, it is necessary to implement the policy of fighting if you can beat it, and running if you can't beat it, and the speed of the ship must be fast, so you will decide to add two points of agility and a little physique.

As soon as the agility was added, Liang Hong said: "The captain's strength affects the power of the ship's shelling. ”

This must be added, naval warfare is a cannon, of course, the more powerful the cannon, the better, the best is to hit two holes directly through one cannon, if you hit a dozen cannons without pain, who can stand it? Add...... Neither can power fall.

Gangzi didn't rush to point the last attribute point on strength, but looked at Liang Hong and said with a little resentment: "Can you finish the words in one go?" ”

Sure enough, Liang Hong also had the following: "Resilience affects the defense of ships. ”

Ah...... It's not comfortable to be hit two holes by someone! How to add this attribute point?

The upgrade in the late game is slow.,So each attribute point is very cherished.,It's impossible to do an average plus point.,Average is mediocre.,The plus point that conforms to your own combat style is the most correct.。

What is the most important thing in naval warfare, for the inspirational pirate Gangzi, speed should undoubtedly be ranked first, when encountering a fat sheep, when encountering a strong enemy, it should be emphasized.

The second should be firepower, and the pirate attack should deal with the opponent in the shortest possible time, without giving the opponent a chance to get rescue.

Then there is the physique, physical strength represents the player's life, the captain hangs up and has the first mate to take over the command, of course, if the current Sea Lion is just hung up, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Sea Lion will definitely be improved, but who is willing to use a character like Liang Hong as the first mate? Gangzi has no way to have one ship, and when he has a second ship, Liang Hong will definitely be promoted to captain, and the first mate generally selects a crew member with leadership skills. If the first mate does not have a captain profession, although he can be the acting captain but has no attribute bonus to the ship, he can sail in peacetime, but once he encounters a naval battle, he is basically delivering food. Therefore, in naval warfare, the captain should give priority to protecting his own life, and there must be no shortage of physical strength.

At the same time, physical strength affects the launch of the captain's skills, the captain's skills: inspiring, Gangzi has experienced, launching a number of shelling is absolutely powerful, but the consumption of physical strength is too serious, in order to cool a few more physical strength must also keep up, it seems that the physique is more important than the strength.

What do you say about defending this? The important is important, no one wants their ship to be like paper paste, but the ship can be equipped with armor plates, just like the Sea Lion is equipped with iron armor plates near the waterline, and the survivability is greatly increased. If you increase your defense through peripherals, you may be able to save the attribute points needed for toughness. The addition of peripherals will affect the speed of the ship, and agility will be highlighted.

In the end, Gangzi decided to add two points of agility, a little strength and a proportion of physique, and the defense was mainly based on the ship's peripherals, and the equipment attributes gave priority to taking care of the physique.

By the time Gangzi had determined the attributes, the Sea Lion had already seen the island where the pirate stronghold was located.

In the moonlight at night, only the dark outline of the island could be seen, and when you got closer, all the high cliffs in front of you were in front of you, and there was no landing point in sight. The Sea Lion sailed slowly around the island, the sailors on board were on full alert, and lookouts were arranged on both masts, and no one knew if a pirate ship would emerge from behind the cliffs somewhere.

The island is not too big, and in a few moments the Kung Fu Sea Lion circled from the northern end of the island to the southern section. Here, the outline of the island was suddenly concave, like a round cake being gnawed off, and the Sea Lion turned from the corner to see a fire in the depths of the island, which was supposed to be a pirate stronghold. However, just as Gangzi was about to quietly lean over and sneak attack, suddenly a broken gong sounded from the mountain overhead.

The piercing sound of "Clang......" instantly spread throughout the sea, and the pirates actually set up sentries in this position! Fortunately, it was not the artillery arranged, Gangzi suppressed his heart and secretly congratulated himself, "Since the sneak attack can't be successful, let's attack it!" ”

The Sea Lion gave up the sneak attack and left the shore to head for the middle of the harbor, the battle was about to begin, and the most important thing was to occupy a good position, and it was best to block all the pirate ships on the dock.

But it backfired, the roaring cannons of the naval battle had already alarmed the pirates here, and the pirate sentries on the Sea Lion sounded the gong to warn, and the pirate warships that had completed their combat preparations sailed head-on, a brig battleship and a brig armed merchant ship.

Two brigs! With one enemy and two enemies, Gangzi feels a lot of pressure, does he need to change the captain temporarily?

Gangzi looked at Liang Hong for help, but Liang Hong said: "I am suitable for large-scale raids and naval battles, this kind of short-handed combat in the port, the captain's captain skills are more suitable, you have to believe in the crew of the Sea Lion, they are more powerful than you think." ”

Despised or not? You are not afraid of death, are you afraid? Aren't they just two brigs? Brother also did it with them, if he didn't succeed, he became a benevolent, won and got the territory and soared into the sky, and if he lost, he sold the "territory certificate" and ran honestly to the businessman, and once redeemed the three-masted battleship, brother is a good man.

"Battle Song! All of them! The right rudder is full, the port side is shown, and the enemy stern ship brig armed merchant ship is aimed at me and hit me hard! ”

Gangzi spent 10 gold to open the war song, and the passionate symphony spread around. The war song was found by Gangzi by accident, and the morale of your own army shrouded in the war song can be slightly boosted. The word "slight" is estimated to have a large component of fooling people, but the sound of the war song and the sound of the thick drum in the ears are indeed awe-inspiring, and it is estimated that it will have a greater impact on the player...... But there is only one person, and ...... spend 10 gold? Never mind! Only when the cauldron is broken, it is the dragon or the worm that succeeds or fails in this battle.

Inside the harbor, both sides were within range of each other, and the pirate ships began to turn to show their sides after leaving the dock. In the end, it was the Sea Lion that was one point faster, and the ten guns fired a salvo at the pirate tail ship.

The sea area in the harbor is small, the speed of the ships on both sides is not high, and the distance is very close, and the Sea Lion hit the enemy ship in the first round of shelling. The enemy ships also did not show weakness and fought with salvos the same.

Brigs: Gross Deadweight: 230

Weapons: 14

Steering force: 90

Propulsion: 75

Standard sailor: 30

Necessary sailors: 10

Maximum sailor: 40

The brig armed merchant ship is a modification on the basis of the brig merchant ship, reducing the capacity, compartment to install artillery, in the absence of an escort fleet, it is still good to arm the merchant, although the load is less, but in the event of a robbery will not be powerless. However, the essence of brig armed merchant ships is still inclined to merchant ships, the structure and materials of the ships are biased towards running merchants, and the hull is light and the volume is large, which means that the defense is weak. On the way here, Gangzi had already learned a general understanding of the classification of ships from Liang Hong, and knew that the brig armed merchant ships had fourteen guns, but they were strong on the outside. The persimmon will pick up the soft pinch, first knock out the brigs and then pack up the brigs.

After a round of cannon shots on the Sea Lion, the gunners began to reload, and the pirates launched their counterattack. With a brig and a brig, the pirates could concentrate seventeen guns on one side of the hull to attack the Sea Lion, which was quite close to the firepower of a three-masted battleship.

The shortening of the distance also added considerable accuracy to the pirate artillery, and the dense cannonballs fell around the Sea Lion, and Gangzi even heard a whistling sound flashing overhead, and suddenly a cannonball hit the bow of the ship and knocked the bow spinnaker out of a hole, which was the first time that the ship was shot since Gangzi took charge of the Sea Lion, and it also made Gangzi frightened and worried about the condition of the Sea Lion.

The sailors of the Sea Lion, however, seemed to be accustomed to it, and no one glanced at the bow, and this kind of cannon wound was not worth mentioning in their eyes, and they did not pause, and loaded the projectile with their hands and feet, and pushed the muzzle of the gun out of the gun.

The artillery was reloaded, and the second salvo was fired. The roar of artillery fire and the shock of the hull also woke Gangzi, who immediately launched an "inspiration", the Sea Lion once again exerted its might, and the pirate's brig merchant ship also experienced a salvo almost equal to that of a three-masted battleship.

Ten guns against seventeen guns, the Sea Lion can participate in the battle of the artillery is at a great disadvantage, although the Sea Lion in the Gang Zi Captain skills under the influence of the loading speed advantage, but it is also difficult to make up for the huge gap in numbers, the only way to change the situation is to quickly sink the enemy's brittle brig armed merchant ship, and then the brig battleship to the brig, the Sea Lion as long as the luck is not back will win the final victory, of course, before this Sea Lion to maintain a certain combat effectiveness, so at the beginning of the war, Gangzi saw his own cannon after the decisive use of encouragement.

With the first shelling of the calibration, the second round of shelling of the Sea Lion was obviously much more accurate, two guns in the first row were on board, and four guns in the second row were hit. Six shells hit one after another, causing the brig merchant ship to pause visibly on the sea, and the deck was in shambles, and it was impossible to engage in battle for a short time.

The pirate's brigs need to be readjusted, the wounded, killed pirates need to be towed away, the damaged guns need to be replaced, and the holes in the deck need to be filled. So the brigs at the head reduced their speed slightly, and covered the wounded brig merchant ship to the other side of the hull, blocking the angle of the Sea Lion's shelling.

The brig battleship against the brig, Gangzi had the advantage of the rate of fire and was not afraid at all, so the sea lion and the pirate fleet circled in a small harbor, you fired a volley, I fired a salvo under the rapid drumbeat of the war song, and they beat each other without technology.
