Chapter 109: The Arrogant British
Chapter 109: The Arrogant British
Because Tang Yao limited the speed of the Nishimura, Gangzi successfully controlled the bow of the Nishimura, and the two of them did not fight for too long, as the Sea Whale killed the captain of the Nishimura and the helmsman of the Nishimura with grapegres, coupled with a large number of sailor losses, Nishimura was basically abolished from combat effectiveness.
"Grape bombs! Invigorate! ”
In the last round of shelling, Gangzi used grapeshot and launched the skill "Inspiration", and two rounds of bullets rained down on the upper deck of the Nishimura, and no one standing upright could be seen anymore.
"The Peanut is ready to take over the broadside battle and take the Nishimura, I'll go to support the Mercury, and you'll come to support after you take control of the Nishimura."
Tang Yao agreed and slammed the Peanut into the hull of the Nishimura, and the upper deck of the Nishimura at this time had no resistance at all, and the sailors of the Peanut easily rushed up and entered the battle for the lower cabin.
And Gangzi circled around the Nishimura, and after determining that the Tosa battleship had no ability to turn around, he rushed to the Mercury to support.
At this time, if the Peanut can successfully capture the ship, then the number of warships in the Lingxiao fleet will increase to four, and the corresponding Tosa fleet will be reduced to three, and the situation between the two sides will be reversed in an instant.
Seeing that the Nishimura was hopeless, Sanchihonru Sakura ordered the other three brigs of the Tosa fleet to concentrate their fire on the Mercury of Lee Yu-tae. As long as the Mercury can be sunk, the number of remaining warships on both sides will be equal, and the Peanut of the Lingxiao fleet will definitely be greatly reduced due to the division of troops to control the Xicun, and the Xicun has no captain, even if it is driven by the Lingxiao fleet, the combat effectiveness is extremely ordinary.
To be selected by the three thousand honliu Sakura into the competition lineup, the captains of the Tosa fleet also have good combat skills, except for the sharp ship Nakano, the captains of the other two Tosa battleships are all gun-type captain skills.
The way to deal with Li Youtai was to use ferocious and non-stop artillery bombardment. Call his "rush repair" skill too late to repair the hull. The three warships besieged the Mercury from close range, and the skill of the cannonballs fired from all sides quickly caused the Mercury to fall into a state of exhaustion.
Fortunately, Gangzi did not wait to sink the Nishimura, but settled the battle with a broadside battle that would produce a quicker result. makes Li Youtai difficult to support left and right. I waited for Gangzi's support in time.
"Mercury turns left!" Gangzi gave a short order, not waiting for the Mercury's movements. The Seawhale's shells were fired, targeting the four warships in the battle.
After receiving Gangzi's order, Li Youtai immediately turned the bow of the ship, and as soon as the hull of the ship was crooked a little, the whistling cannonballs attacked, all of which swept past the starboard side of the Mercury and hit the Tosa battleship that was attacking the stern of the Mercury.
"Mercury turn right!" Another round of artillery hit the Tosa battleship to the left of the Mercury.
Gangzi commanded while firing artillery. Several of them hit the Mercury by mistake, but they still disrupted the encirclement of the Tosa fleet and fished out the Mercury.
"Li Youtai, how much physical strength do you have?" Gangzi asked as he opened fire to cover the Mercury as it came to converge.
In order to prevent the stern of the ship from being attacked, Li Youtai drove the Mercury in a zigzag march to approach the Sea Whale, and when he heard Gangzi's inquiry, he replied: "The situation was critical just now, and I used three 'rush repairs' to repair the artillery holes under the waterline, and now I can use my physical strength twice." ”
"Leave it for emergencies, it will take a little time for the Peanut to occupy the Nishimura. Our two ships are here to form a defensive line and cover her. ”
Seeing that the state of the Mercury and Li Youtai's physical strength were not suitable for an attack, Gangzi adopted a defensive strategy. Let's get the result of the Nishimura first, so that the Lingxiao fleet will have the advantage of one more warship than the Tosa fleet, and it is the Tosa fleet that should be anxious.
After being surrounded by the Mercury protrusion, the three brigs of the Tosa fleet regrouped into formation and, as Tsuyoko expected, approached sideways while shelling.
Now that the Peanut and the Nishimura are resting on the surface of the sea for a broadside battle, and the two ships are tied together by ropes, it is the most vulnerable time, and Tsuyoko stares at the Tosa fleet after converging the Mercury, firmly occupying the route and not giving the Tosa fleet a chance to break through.
The two sides entered into a formal fleet artillery battle. The Sea Whale is a firepower-enhanced brig with thirteen gunwales on each side. And the high rate of fire is Gangzi's signature, plus Li Youtai's ten guns. The Lingxiao fleet used two warships to fight with the three battleships of the Tosa fleet.
Once Tosa gradually tried to break through, Gangzi launched an "encouragement" to beat his head and face, so the Tosa fleet finally failed to break through the defense line of the Lingxiao fleet.
As the battle continues, Lee's "rush repair" skill is to automatically repair a broken damage every once in a while, and although the Mercury is the focus of the Tosa fleet, the Mercury has insisted that it has not been sunk. Tang Yao's broadside battle was also won after eliminating all resistance from the Nishimura, and after she divided a part of her men to control Nishimura, the two warships joined Gangzi's formation.
Even though the two battleships could not play their due level due to manpower problems, after all, it was ten more guns of firepower, although the Tosa fleet finally sank the Nishimura, but it was impossible to recover the defeat, and in the final battle, the Tosa fleet was sunk by the Lingxiao fleet one by one, and of course they finally took the Mercury.
At the end of the quarterfinals of the Asian region of the "King of Sailing" team competition, the Sky Fleet and the Tosa Fleet presented a wonderful naval battle for many players, worthy of the title of the two strongest fleets in Asia, the only regret is that they encountered it too soon.
The Tosa fleet lost the quarterfinals, and the Sky fleet advanced to the semifinals. Gangzi was ordered to be in danger in the game, bringing the fleet to recover the situation in an extremely disadvantageous situation, and the command that brought the fleet to finally win the game was also talked about by the players.
But the real discerning person is interested in how Gangzi increased the speed of the ship so much without using skills? Many people want to find Gangzi and ask him for advice.
But Gangzi had turned off all communications, and a man appeared in Plymouth, England.
In the shipyard in Plymouth, a dhow slowly drove out, compared to ordinary dhows, this dhow did not change much in appearance, except that the bow was a little larger, the lines were more sleek, the hull was straight, and the stern was slightly reduced. Except for these less obvious changes in the hull, the deck layout and sails have not changed, and at a glance it looks like an ordinary dhow.
This is the speed-enhanced dhow designed by Gangzi himself.
After the sea trial, Gangzi was very satisfied with his transformation. So he took a letter of recommendation from Sir Gardner to the Plymouth Naval Architects' Guild and submitted an application for promotion to Intermediate Naval Designer.
Ships are the foundation of Britain that can be called a strong country, so Britain attaches far more importance to ships than other countries, here is the world's most powerful ship design masters, here is the world's most powerful fleet, here is the world's most powerful warship, here is the world's authority of the ship designers guild, here arrogant is recognized by the world.
The Plymouth Ship Architects' Guild is a castle-like building, and you can easily tell which is British and which is foreigner. Look at their chins without looking at their skin color, look at their clothes, and if you see someone who can point to the sky with your chin and look down at you, then it must be British.
At this time, there is such a person in front of Gangzi.
The receptionist of the Ship Designers Guild, who has a big eagle nose, first glanced at Gangzi with the most contemptuous eyes when he handed over the application, and then kept his chin in front of his neck and turned to scan the content of the application, looking at a ridiculing sentence.
"Do the Han people, the Orientals, also build ships? Applying for the promotion to intermediate ship designer - isn't there a skill book? That kind of promotion is suitable for you, and it is estimated that the transformation ship will not reach 60 points; Claim Speed-Enhanced Dhow - It's Funny! It's so ignorant! Are you here to play the Joker? Sir Gardner's letter of recommendation - dare to forge this too! The guards arrested the fraudster. ”
"I am a disciple of Sir Gardner."
"Oh! My God, how could Sir Gardner take a yellow-skinned heretic as a disciple, do you think such a bad lie can deceive me? Put him in prison. ”
So Gangzi experienced the taste of prison for the first time in the game, and it was a British prison.
Just when Gangzi was worried about his chrysanthemum, little Wilson quickly took him out, and the senior brother with Scottish blood complained: "Why are you so reckless to go to the Ship Designers Guild, not to mention that you are from the Han Dynasty, even we Scots will be despised by them, fortunately, the person who captured you ran to show off to Sir Zhuang, otherwise we would not know that you were imprisoned." ”
Gangzi hurriedly thanked him: "It's worried about Sir and Senior Brother, I didn't expect that a simple intermediate ship designer would be treated like this." ”
Wilson Jr. nodded, "Pride and arrogance will eventually come at a price." ”
Gangzi didn't know who little Wilson was referring to, whether it was the sycophant who received him, or ...... But in a hurry, he didn't ask much, and instead asked about the promotion of the ship designer.
Little Wilson seemed to know that he had lost his words, and replied with a smile at Gangzi's question: "Lord Sir has personally come forward, some written procedures have been passed, and you may also need to thank you for your recklessness this time, otherwise according to the normal procedures and the character of our British, you may have to wait several weeks to get to the final on-site audit." ”
Gangzi also laughed: "I know, it's because I'm yellow-skinned." ”
Wilson Jr. said, "Yes, but Lord Sir thinks that Oriental ship design has its own characteristics, and perhaps you will bring us a perfect Oriental ship work in the future." Without further ado, let's head to the docks, where Lord Sir is already waiting. (To be continued)
