Chapter 17: Sneak Attack
The long-distance artillery bombardment of the Divine Light Fleet, Li Youtai's evasion and passive "rush repair" with the defense of the three-masted battleship can still withstand it. As the hit rate increased at medium range, the frequency of the "flying Henanese" began to increase, and they had to cross the hull to confront them.
At this time, the Black Pearl was detached from the fleet. Freed from the confines of the fleet, the Black Pearl's speed was fully exerted, and he cleaved forward like a sea of water, firing at the divine light on one side and outflanking the stern of the opposing ship on the other.
Even the Black Pearl, which has a wave-resistant design, suffers from the waves created by the "Flying Dutchman", and the shells called the Black Pearl don't know where to go. Once at the stern of the Divine Light fleet, Gangzi began to slow down the Black Pearl to improve the accuracy of the shells.
With the blessing of Gangzi's various skills, the Black Pearl, which had fifteen side guns on one side, had very fierce firepower, and it attacked from the stern direction, so the Divine Light fleet had to divide two brigs to engage in a firepower confrontation with the Black Pearl.
Without the firepower of the two brigs, Li Youtai's pressure was significantly reduced, and he continued to turn around and move forward with the remaining three warships of the Ling Xiao fleet.
They had reached the best ambush area in Hugh Hobert, and the speed of the Sky fleet had dropped dramatically due to the continuous evasion. However, the Lingxiao fleet is also about to enter the attack - ⊙ distance, when the time comes, the Peanut and the Flying Dragon will step forward together with the speed of the brigs, one will sail and the other will burn the ship, plus the "Flying Henan" and "Laizhou", and concentrate their firepower to knock out the opponent's three-masted battleship.
Without a three-masted battleship, Hugh Hobert would not have won the battle.
According to the judgment at the beginning of the competition, for Hugh Hobert, it was better to sneak attack the "Laizhou" than the "Flying Henan" with the Jingwei Bird Statue and Li Youtai, so the Angry Sea Rivalry began to call the Peanut and the Wyvern to march side by side in the direction of their own stern. At the same time, repeatedly hold the lookout on the mast and pay attention to the changes in the surrounding water lines.
"No matter how fast such a large ship comes out of the water, there are traces to follow, as long as it can be detected in advance and avoided, the loss can be minimized."
In his command position, Gangzi also emphasized the observation of the sea surface.
At this moment, Gangzi suddenly felt an obvious hull of the Black Pearl, which was engaged in an artillery battle and evasive maneuvers. Gangzi was alert and immediately turned on his wings, and the speed of the Black Pearl skyrocketed.
At this moment, a massive bow ramming angle emerged from the nearby sea, targeting the belly of the Black Pearl. It's the "Flying Dutchman"! Hugh Hobert's target turned out to be Gangzi.
Fortunately, Gangzi has always maintained his vigilance, and fortunately, the Black Pearl is known for its speed, and it accelerated in time to avoid the fatal blow. But the "Flying Dutchman" out of the water rolled up a whirlpool. The hull of the Black Pearl swung left and right and did not go far.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The "Flying Dutchman" fired a salvo at the Black Pearl, and the 30 shells hit the side hull of the Black Pearl almost all of them at close range, and the huge momentum pushed the Black Pearl several meters across the sea.
The angry sea was shocked: "Gangzi, how did Hugh Hobert attack you." ”
Gang Zixi said: "This idiot thinks that the blessing of speed on the Black Pearl is the key to normal combat, this guy's thinking is still stuck in the combat stage of a brig, and a three-masted battleship with fierce firepower is actually used to deal with a brig, it is really a dead end!" Leave me alone, launch an attack on the other three-masted battleship of the Divine Light at once, and I can slip away from this idiot for a little longer. ”
The shelling of the "Flying Dutchman" has already caused significant damage to the Black Pearl. The hull was flooded, the speed of the ship had dropped, and the rudder was a little inflexible, and it could no longer withstand a second round of attacks.
"Inspire!"
"Boom Boom Boom ......" "Boom Boom Boom ......"
Even though the water ingress caused the Black Pearl's speed to begin to drop, the Black Pearl was still faster than the "Flying Dutchman". Gangzi went around in a circle to bombard the "Flying Dutchman", and his skills were also continuously displayed regardless of physical strength.
"Dodge!"
The first round hits, and the second round is dodged because it is a skill activation.
Gangzi didn't care, and he couldn't take physical medicine during the game. The desired effect is to drain your stamina.
In the face of the slippery Black Pearl's attack, the "Flying Dutchman" was not able to hit the Black Pearl again, although it did not suffer much damage. So it dived into the water again.
At this time, the Sky fleet had already begun to turn and prepare to attack.
The "Flying Dutchman" cannot be called back for support. In order to ensure that the Sky fleet can successfully defeat the other three-masted battleship of the Divine Light, Hugh Hobert needs to delay a little longer.
So Gangzi began to slow down the speed of the Black Pearl, which was actually already declining rapidly due to the speed of the hull flooding.
Knowing the previous competitions of the Ling Xiao fleet, Hugh Hobert of course knew that the Ling Xiao fleet had reached the final attack position at this time, but the attack just now did not have the desired effect, the Black Pearl was still floating on the sea, and the Ling Xiao fleet was still in the double speed blessing.
If he drove the "Flying Dutchman" back now, Hugh Hobert was not sure if the Divine Light Fleet would be able to deal with the high-speed Soaring Fleet. He had also thought about launching a sneak attack on the Sky fleet, but the "Flying Dutchman" had a process of diving, and at that time it would be besieged by the entire Sky fleet. Hugh Hobert's lack of understanding of the three-masted battleship made Hugh Hobert not confident in the defensive power of the three-masted battleship, and in his eyes the three-masted battleship was a powerful mobile battery.
In Gangzi's eyes, the three-masted battleship has defense and firepower, and it is the sea cavalry responsible for attacking and charging--。
In order not to call the "Flying Dutchman" to intervene in the main battlefield too early, Gangzi slowed down the speed of the Black Pearl. When Hugh Hobert saw it, he thought that the Black Pearl was seriously flooded and couldn't get out of the way, so he no longer hesitated to turn the bow of the ship and rush towards the Black Pearl.
"Beware of the two small ships of the Ling Xiao fleet, if they plan to get close, all the brigs will come forward to intercept them, as long as you hold on for a while, I will support you as soon as I sink the Black Pearl."
Hugh Hobert gave orders to the fleet as he drove the "Flying Dutchman" out of the sea and slammed into the Black Pearl.
Gangzi looked at the huge black shadow rushing out from under the sea, and quickly ordered: "The plan has changed, don't play slowly with them, the 'Flying Henan' and 'Laizhou' will quickly stick up and attack their three-masted battleship with all their might, Peanut and Feilong will wait for the opportunity to assist, ignore their two-masted battleship, and everyone will only attack the 'Bull'." ”
This time, the Black Pearl's state could no longer be avoided, and the "Flying Dutchman", which jumped up from the sea with buoyancy, smashed its body into the Black Pearl's body.
At the same time, the "Laizhou" was raised to the flagship level, and the angry sea took over the command of the fleet.
The Lingxiao fleet attacked, and the two three-masted battleships did not fight the Divine Light fleet on the spot, even if they were already at close range, the fluctuations of the sea still had an impact on the accuracy of the artillery. The "Flying Henan" and "Laizhou" showed their side to attack while cutting inward at a large angle.
The Light thought that the Sky fleet would send out two melee brigs as before, and they had received orders from Hugh Hobert to bring their three brigs to the front.
But who wants to ...... The Ling Xiao fleet was uncharacteristic this time, and the two three-masted battleships actually charged, and the two-masted battleships of the Divine Light that were blocking the way of the charge hurriedly avoided it, but they were still rubbed by the walls of the three-masted battleships and received a lot of damage.
Neither of the two three-masted battleships stopped to take the low-hanging fruit of the brigs, and they rushed past the brigs of the Divine Light fleet and rushed into front of the "Bull".
The distance at which this kind of artillery can be fired in a straight line, and the waves have no effect on the accuracy of the artillery.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
The "Flying Henan" and "Laizhou" lined up and aimed all the guns on the side at the "Bull", and the smoke filled the space between the three three-masted warships in an instant.
With the opening of the three-masted battleship, the Peanut and the Wyvern also arrived smoothly behind, and they ignored the attack of the three enemy brigs behind them, and threw their skills on the "Bull".
The "chain ball" kept slicing through the air, tearing the sails and tangling the cables. The "Fire Dragon" erupted from the bow of the Wyvern, and the high temperature was very lethal to the sailors, especially igniting the powder keg on the deck, and the "Bull" was full of explosions and flames.
The "Bull" is over!
Hugh Hobert, who was complacent about sinking the legendary battleship Black Pearl, only discovered that the "Bull" was under siege after being prompted by the Legion's logistics department, and he knew that the situation of the "Bull" was precarious.
What's going on? Can't you three brigs stop even two?
"Report to the commander, the Ling Xiao fleet has been charged with two three-masted battleships, and our two-masted battleships have been rammed away."
"What ......!"
Hugh Hobert realized how foolish it was for him to use his two three-masted battleships separately, and the Sky fleet only used one brig and exchanged it for one of his own three-masted battleships, although the brigs were legendary-class.
However, at the thought that he would be leading a three-masted battleship and three two-masted battleships against the two three-masted battleships of the Ling Xiao fleet, Hugh Hoberts found that he could no longer calmly arrange his tactics.
Stealth sneak attack? Whether it will succeed or not, it is estimated that your own brig will not be able to keep it.
However, in a positional battle, the "Flying Dutchman" had a hard time dealing with Li Youtai's ship, not to mention that the other side also had a "Laizhou". I didn't expect the battle with one less three-masted battleship to be so difficult to fight! (To be continued.) )
