Chapter 67: Encirclement

The last sneak attack on the Goryeo Navy was more of a broadside battle, and this battle was the real artillery battle between the brigs that Gangzi experienced. Entering the battlefield, Gangzi immediately felt the surging momentum brought by the brig battleship's artillery, and the projectile density formed by the salvo of twenty guns on one side of the two battleships was far from what the four sloops could do, making the Kraken frequently hit the fire immediately after entering the firing range.

Immediately after being beaten, the iron smoothbore gun had a more powerful range and power, and the 12-pound solid projectile could easily penetrate the hull of the brig, even the vital parts equipped with armor plates could not withstand two hits from the iron smoothbore gun. The other Seal is also characterized by powerful guns.

The Sea Monster and the Seal suppressed the Fuso patrol fleet while quickly approaching the Sea Lion, and as the battle line was formed, the firepower advantage of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet was reflected. Powerful shells rained down on the Fuso patrol fleet, and the lead ship was quickly destroyed and sunk.

There was only one brig left in the Fuso patrol fleet, and the firepower was greatly reduced, and Gangzi was worried about the ammunition on the battleship, and of course refused to sink it again. So Gangzi relied on his sea monster to have a Jingwei bow statue to repair the damage in the battle, a ship to attract the firepower of the Fusang battleship, Liang Hong's speed exploded and prepared to take on the broadside, and Zhou Geng followed closely to support.

After some hand-to-hand fighting, the Black Sail pirates successfully captured a brig battleship of the Fuso Navy, and Gangzi immediately sent people to salvage the materials floating from the sunken ship, and at the same time carried the gunpowder shells on the captured brig.

At this time, the Bangma, which was in charge of guarding the surroundings, reported that the south had spotted two brigs of the Fuso Navy approaching.

The dividends of robbing the navy made Gangzi extremely excited, and the merit brought by sinking a brig made his military merit value rise a lot, not to mention the capture of a brig. Now that Dahan and Goryeo have increased the size of their patrol fleets and reduced the support response time, it is almost impossible to grab ships on such a large scale, only the arrogant Fuso Navy is still ignoring the threat posed by greedy players, and I believe that after this battle, the Fuso Navy will definitely adjust the configuration of the patrol fleet.

Before the Fuso Navy reacted, he asked my brother to grab a good hand, and at that time, more than a dozen brigs lined up on the east coast of Goryeo, and see if your navy that went deep into the Yellow Sea could not retreat. The two Fusang brigs found by the Bangma should have come to the rescue, and my brother was embarrassed to laugh.

However, at this moment, the lookout on the mast shouted: "Commander! Two Fuso Navy warships were found in the East!"

Liang Hong also reported: "Two Fuso Navy warships were found in the north. ”

Coupled with the discovery of the Fuso Navy warship in the south, Gangzi sensed that he was caught in an ambush circle.

"Captain! Two Fuso battleships were found in the West! ”

Grass...... Fighting geese all day long was pecked by geese, I thought my brother caught a big fish, but I didn't expect it to be someone's bait, and my brother who has been ambushing NPCs has also been ambushed one day, look at this four-sided encirclement, Fusang Navy is so big, it seems that my brother's fleet is not dead today and is peeling off its skin.

The encirclement sealed by the Fuso Navy is being encircled. And Gangzi has no intention of being captured, at this point, it is impossible to retreat with his whole body, sinking more Fusang battleships and earning more meritorious deeds is the king's way, and the battleship can be rebuilt if it is gone, but it is a pity that there are so many excellent captains under him. Now is not the time to suffer from gains and losses, Gangzi reorganized the fleet, counted and distributed captured materials, and observed the Fuso Navy surrounding.

There are two brigs in the north, two brigs in the west, and the Fuso warships in the south are also revealed, which are also two brigs, and the two slurry ships that are pressed over in the east are Fuso's unique shackles.

There was no three-masted battleship!

The three-masted battleship has strong firepower and a strong hull, and it is a well-deserved king of naval warfare. But it is not without its drawbacks, the heavy hull brought by firepower and defense affects the decrease in ship speed, so the positioning of the naval battle of the three-masted battleship tends to be the main decisive battle of the national navy, and the shelling of coastal cities. As for fast sloops and brigs, once the other side escapes, the three-masted battleship becomes powerful and has nowhere to go, so coastal patrols and pirate suppression are the business of brigs.

This time, in order to exterminate the Black Sail Pirate Fleet that frequently attacked their own merchant ships in the Fuso Sea, the Fuso Navy discharged ten brig-class warships at once, and the lineup was not insignificant, and the strategy of using two brigs as bait was not a brilliant strategy, but they still seemed to have misestimated the strength of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet.

Gangzi's artillery skills include primary ballistics, primary rapid-fire, plus intermediate leadership skills and captain's skills, the rate of fire in artillery battles has exploded, and there is also a ship of fine iron smoothbore guns, and a two-masted battleship can be used as two.

Liang Hong and Zhou Geng also have good artillery skills.

As a result, the two brigs used as decoy did not play a role in containing and delaying time at all, and were quickly annihilated by the Black Sail Pirate Fleet.

Moreover, after discovering the Sea Lion, the Fuso Navy judged that the Black Sail Pirate Fleet would outflank its own decoy fleet, and in order to prevent the ambush circle laid by its own side from being discovered in advance, the Fuso Navy adopted the act of expanding the encirclement area, which also gave the Black Sail Pirate Fleet time to adjust.

When Gangzi looked around and didn't find the three-masted battleship that he was most afraid of appearing, he originally just wanted to fight hard, and his mind became active again. He turned his head to Li Youtai and said: "I appoint you as the captain of the Mercury, you lead the Goryeo sailors I rescued before to receive them immediately, I don't want you to make any contributions, as long as you follow the main fleet and act together, you can fight whoever I fight." ”

Li Youtai's face was pale from fright by the Fusang Navy that suddenly surrounded him, and he didn't understand Gangzi's words for a while, he stumbled and said, "Big brother wants to appoint me as the captain, but where did we get the battleship." ”

Gangzi, who was pressed for time, had no time to explain to him, kicked over, pointed to the newly captured Fusang brig and shouted: "Now that brig is yours, bring your people to receive it quickly, remember to follow the Horse Pull, look at my flagship, you will fight whoever I want!" Do you understand! ”

Becoming the captain of a brig and possibly about to be sunk is a trance-like Lee Yo-tae with mixed emotions and doesn't even know how he got on the Mercury. The Horse had withdrawn and quickly transported the ship's Goryeo sailors to the Mercury.

Gangzi looked at Li Youtai, who was standing on the bridge of the Mercury at a loss, and didn't care about him anymore, anyway, he didn't ask how much he could output on the offensive end, and being able to share the opponent's firepower was the greatest contribution to the entire fleet.

After a slight adjustment, the Black Sail Pirate Fleet sailed slowly, and the encirclement of the Fuso Navy was even narrower.

"Mark ...... now," Tsuyoko calmly ordered while standing on the bridge of the Sea Monster, and as he continued to experience battles, he became more and more like a captain, "The two Fuso Navy brigs in the north are the enemy's No. 1 fleet; The two western Fuso Navy brigs are the enemy's second fleet; The two Fuso Navy brigs in the south were the enemy's No. 3 fleet; The two Fuso Navy ships in the East are the enemy's No. 4 fleet, and our combat objective is to concentrate all the artillery and quickly destroy the enemy's fleet with the strongest firepower and break the enemy's encirclement. ”

Gangzi looked at the direction of the wind, and the moderate strength of the wind blew from the southwest to the northeast, so he ordered: "All the ships of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet march north in battle line formation, break through the blockade of the enemy's No. 1 fleet, today is the battle of life and death for our Black Sail Pirate Fleet, all captains take out your skills!" ”

The Black Sail Pirate Fleet turned north and slowly increased its speed, with the Sea Monster as the first ship, followed by the Sea Lion, the Seal, the Bangma, and the Mercury. In order to execute the order quickly, Gangzi and they used the territorial guard channel, and Li Youtai was not in it, but the order that Gangzi gave him was to follow the fleet, and the position was at the tail of the fleet, so although the captain and sailors on the Mercury were all new and unresponsive, they had little impact on the actions of the entire fleet.

As soon as the Black Sail Pirate Fleet picked up its speed, the two brigs of the Fuso Navy's No. 2 Fleet, which had been chasing from the west, were about to bring the Black Sail Gang into range.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Before the Fuso No. 2 fleet could open fire, the Sea Monster and the Seal, which had the advantage of range, fired first, and the extreme range brought about a decrease in accuracy, and none of the first round of shelling hit.

The Fuso II fleet was taken aback by the range of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet, and quickly cut into the range of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet for its own naval guns. The Kraken and the Seal fired in the second salvo in turn, but still missed. At this moment, there was a roar of artillery at the stern of the ship, and it turned out to be the Mercury who opened fire.

Gangzi slapped his forehead and forgot about it, it was he who ordered Li Youtai to see who the Kraken hit and who he hit, this guy was not slow to react, he fired two rounds of cannons, and this guy fired the first round of cannonballs. This distance was beyond the range of the iron smoothbore gun, and it was a pure waste, and Gangzi was about to remind him to pay attention to the range to save shells, but he didn't expect to hear a cheer from the ship.

Hit!

Li Youtai fired two shells for the first time, hitting the Fusang No. 2 fleet, which was worthy of being in range. The two brigs did not miss a single shot.

Gangzi grew up and looked at the Mercury at the tail of the fleet, the emperor of character......

In the next bombardment, Li Youtai did not destroy Gangzi's game concept again, the hit rate became zero, and the landing point was extremely scattered, which was completely in line with the attributes of a rookie.

However, this time, the extreme range hit not only greatly improved the morale of its own side, but also caused the Fuso Navy to misjudge that the Black Sail Pirate Fleet had the skill to greatly improve the hit rate, and in the thought of the rapid destruction of the decoy fleet, the Fuso No. 2 Fleet did not dare to get too close to the Black Sail Pirate Fleet with five ships, and kept the distance between the two sides at the edge of the artillery range, waiting for all of its own fleet to reach the position to launch a general attack.
