The second wave of decoys was Shore was in charge, the Goddess of Victory did not appear because it was good at outbursts and ramming, but a paddle ship with a Viking style, using human power instead of mechanical power, this is the combat style of early pirate ships in the North Sea, and it was not Shore himself who set sail, but the helmsman on his Goddess of Victory, and also an adjutant of Shore, who had decades of sailing experience and could run these large pulp ships as nimble as an arm.

"Hey! Hey! "In a rhythmic sound of trumpets, accompanied by the sound of war drums, the three pulp ships burst out with strong power, and caught up with the golden treasure ship from behind in one breath, because of the pearl, the frigate's navigation trajectory changed, became a V-shape, and chased towards the lost reconnaissance frigate at full speed, and for a while did not notice the approach of the large paddle ship, because of the headwind, the large paddle ship that was completely driven by human power after the sail was retracted was very fast, when the lookout on the frigate found out, It is already less than 2000 meters away.

This time Ross has returned to the position of the command ship, because he has developed a set of flag system, relying on layers of transmission, and finally to summarize and convey to the command ship, he did quickly receive the news of the raid by the pirate ship in the rear, he was immediately startled, and quickly reacted to arrange the two wings of troops to maneuver to protect the stern of the golden treasure ship, at this time his adjutant coughed lightly and reminded: "Sir Ross still don't give orders easily, now there is His Royal Highness the prince on the treasure ship, if the battle situation goes well, the prince will definitely be unhappy." , I think that Your Excellency Sir is too conceited, and he doesn't take him seriously at all, and when he is so good at making meritorious deeds, he actually doesn't give him a chance, of course, if the battle situation is unfavorable, then Sir is fully responsible! ”

Ross was dumbfounded, he could only stomp his feet, and quickly approached the golden treasure ship to ask the prince in person, this time and again, it was half an hour, half an hour, under the command of Shore's helmsman, the three pulp boats were separated and marched together, the bow erected a wide fishing net sail file, the collision angle on the pulp boat was even sharper, shining with metallic luster in the sun, the left and right two pulp boats rushed over quickly, and the frigate's cannonballs hit the fishing net sails, all of which unloaded their strength and fell on the sea.

This fishing net sail file is also the invincible equipment on the Shore naval battle, it represents the pragmatism of the early pirates, with the elasticity of the fir frame at the bottom, covered with a layer of poking eye cooked cowhide, and the combination of fir wood is all inlaid with pig iron bars, and finally covered with two or three layers of fishing nets, the fishing net is full of inflated swim bladders, the fishing net sail stall is erected, it is a triangle to block the bow of the ship, which can not only reduce the wind pressure resistance of the pulp boat, but also protect the pulp boat, now after the artillery fire, The bow of the large pulp ship lifted a small piece of fishnet sail and launched a 12-pound mechanical gun.

Although Shore is rich in strong personality and charisma, and is the pirate king who has won the most naval battles, he is not very rich, these three pulp ships are likely to become cannon fodder bait, he is really reluctant to use heavy fire weapons, the 12-pounder gun is already very painful, more than 1000 meters away, they withstood countless shelling, rushed to the effective range within 800 meters, and began to shell, but the hit rate on both sides is really not flattering.

The frigate is better here, the 24-pounder gun itself is well-made, the rifling and the measuring instruments of the auxiliary school team are relatively accurate, and the gunners are all skilled gunners, but in the face of the extremely fast sprint of the pulp boat, only one of the ten rounds can hit, and it was unloaded by the fishing net sail gear, which did not cause any damage at all, but three large pulp ships bombarded in turn, and in more than ten minutes, more than 20 shells passed, and finally one hit the mast on the opposing frigate.

Seeing that the distance was only 100 meters, the three pulp ships put away their guns and began to sprint with all their might, "boom, boom, boom"! The collision angles hit the target respectively, the left and right sides were aimed at the frigate behind the past, and immediately knocked the frigate out of the hole, and the middle of the pulp ship was aimed at the tail of the golden treasure ship, but the steel armor of the golden treasure ship was too thick, this full impact, only the stern of the concave into it, but the impact angle of the pulp ship was bent entirely, and the oarsmen on the ship were even rolled together by the Qi brush of inertia, and the pulp ship almost overturned directly.

Shore's helmsman immediately ordered a retreat, and the oarsmen just turned around and began to shout the trumpet and row hard, and the three pulp boats retreated at a rapid speed, not waiting for Ross's order at all, but at this time Rose's order had come down, and the two wings were separated and tightly protected, and the three pulp boats began to pursue, if Rose himself commanded, he would have immediately ordered to stop the pursuit and resume the formation, but it was so late for ten minutes, which caused a huge gap in the side of the golden treasure ship.

"Captain! Here's your chance! Carter, who had a very high field of vision, saw the gap in this moment with his scope, at this time they were still more than 3,000 meters away, and had been maintaining the same parallel position as the golden treasure ship, when he heard the war drums of the pulp ship, Chen Ye had already ordered to approach to the range of 2,000 meters, because he was already under attack by the paddle ship, the lookouts of the frigate did not pay attention to the changes on both sides, and suddenly a broken ship with a pirate flag appeared, which did not make them react at all.

"Full speed ahead! The gunners are ready, the port side is 45 degrees elevation angle into the firing state, aiming at the middle of the first and second decks of the opponent by themselves, and the starboard side is loaded! Chen Ye immediately gave the order, and after a period of experience, he is now a qualified captain.

The Thunderlight is moving forward at full speed, the speed is close to 4 knots, which is already a very terrifying speed, that is, it can rush through 1000 meters in 20 minutes, but Chen Ye is equipped with 24-pound guns, and there is no need to rush to a distance of 1000 meters, just ten minutes in a hurry, Manerha will be on the side of the hull, separated by more than 1400 meters, the port side took the lead in launching the fire oil shell, this kind of shell is a hollow shell, inside is a temporary filled oil bottle, in order to prevent leakage is also wrapped in a layer of cotton, and then the outside is iron filings and gunpowder, Care must be taken when carrying the cannonball, as if the oil bottle is broken, it is extremely easy to explode when firing the shell.

With the "Eye of the Storm" and Chen Ye's "Accurate Rapid Fire", as well as Carter's "Accurate Burst", 4 rounds of fire and oil bombs passed, and in the face of a 2,000-square-meter golden treasure ship, there was no need to consider the hit rate at all, and even reached a 120% hit rate, because one of the shells triggered the "burst fire" effect, and there was almost no missing shot, the difference was only whether it fell outside the 1~2 floor cabin full of supplies.

Five minutes later, the Lei Guang completed the right maneuver, and a few more fire oil bombs passed, but seeing that the opponent's frigate did not seem to have fully reacted, Chen Ye was not in a hurry, and deliberately advanced a few hundred meters, using all the 12-pounder guns, and fired three rounds of artillery shelling in ten minutes, seeing that the opponent's frigate reacted, the bow and stern of the ship quickly treasured over, relying on the strong performance of the Thunderlight, Chen Ye carried the opponent's round of shelling, and continued to fire dozens of shells, only then Shi Shiran turned the bow of the ship and left, at 40% On the above speed bonus, it is a mechanical steamship made with steam-powered technology, several frigates can't even eat ashes, Ross was frightened by repeated harassment, especially the deck of the golden treasure ship is full of traces of burning oil, the prince was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered to put out the fire, Rose was also worried that there were other traps, so he could only recall the frigate.

After only 2 hours of harassment battle, a reconnaissance frigate was missing, two frigates were damaged, and they had to be stopped and repaired immediately, the starboard side of a golden treasure ship was burned black, fortunately there was excellent protection and there were no casualties, but the red-hot steel armor, the heat did not dissipate for a long time, and many people smelled a scorching smell, that was because the food in the supply cabin was roasted into charcoal.

After a few more hours, the emergency repair of the 2 frigates was completed, and the golden treasure ship finally set sail again, but it didn't take long to encounter a small boat full of soldiers, it was the reconnaissance frigate, after they were lured by the Pearl, the flagships of the four pirate kings were like sharks that smelled blood, and they all came out together, and the Goddess of Victory unceremoniously crashed directly from the right rear, overturned the frigate and flew away, and they finally escaped with a lifeboat, Because the two frigates with holes in the bottom could not be overloaded, they could only be reduced, and now there were many more soldiers on the golden treasure ship, and it suddenly seemed a little crowded, which made Ross have to clear a supply pod for the soldiers to live in, and it happened that the burned grain was simply thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Sir Ross didn't realize the other party's tactics until this time, but thought that this was a provocation by the pirates to the Panya Empire, and said in front of the prince that when he returned to the Panya Empire, he would personally lead the navy to completely exterminate these rabble, because of this attack, Rose was more careful in sailing behind, but the trouble had not completely passed, although there was no pirate ship, and I don't know if the prince was terrified because he ate something bad, or the fish in the morning was really poisoned, anyway, he began to go to the toilet constantly, At night, he was even more prostrate lying in the stinky cabin humming, Rose was really afraid that something would change at this time, so he simply stopped the ship, and in this day's time, they sailed less than 5 nautical miles in total.

"It's a pity, it's a frigate! With our strength, wouldn't it be good to rush up to the side and grab it? Zhou Dong smacked his lips and said, he was still a little distressed about the sunken frigate, the ship itself was nothing, it was not as good as his modified mechanical steamer, but there were 8 24-pounder guns on it, which was a good thing that money could not buy.

Zheng Shishi said coldly: "Oh? Is that Captain Zhou Dong rushing up? Or will my Jewel rush up? What's more, we are still in the middle of the battlefield, so don't lose faith because of some small gains. ”

Zhou Dong could only pat his bald head with a dry laugh, and at this time, there was news from the pirate ship that specialized in reconnaissance, and the Lei Guang came back unscathed, and caused a large area of burning on the golden treasure ship, and the burning flames could be seen more than 3,000 meters away, which made everyone more confident.

In the next three days, a similar drama will be staged almost every day, when it was found that the agility and speed of the Lei Guang were comparable to those of the Pearl, the first bait boat was often Zhou Dong and Jack who drew lots, and the Pearl was better, after all, the body length was 150 meters, and it could be found far away, but the Thunder Light was less than 70 meters long, and it encountered a bad weather environment, and often reached the artillery bombardment distance, and it was not yet discovered, which made Chen also have to change the feint attack to a real attack, and even personally sank 2 frigates, powerful artillery combat power and kite tactics, which made Rose's face turn a little pale when he heard about the "Thunderlight".

Of course, the four pirate kings are not without losses, because the third wave of artillery bombs is indeed very dangerous, Zheng Shi and Zhou Dong have lost a pirate ship and dozens of pirates, but compared to the losses of the other party, it is really negligible.

After a night raid, realizing that continuing this channel is likely to have greater losses, Ross consulted the prince, and the "Golden Treasure Ship" of the Panya Empire finally changed its course and went from the coastal area of the Italian and French Empire, so that as long as one side of the Golden Treasure Ship was protected, the remaining thirty or so frigates could be released in turn to reconnoiter the nearby range of 5 nautical miles, and no longer give the pirate ship a chance to get close to the "Golden Treasure Ship". Boxes of rum poured into their stomachs, and in the early morning of the sixth day, according to the plan, Zheng Shishi and Shore went to the "Lakein Strait" first to block the entrance, while Zhou Dong and Jakescott stayed to find an opportunity to continue to slow down each other's pace.

"What? Is that damn broken ship again? Thunderlight! If this bastard captain gets caught, I'm going to tear his face apart! Ross jumped to his feet angrily.

Rose's tactical arrangement can be said to be very correct, after narrowing the scope of protection, the frigate's cruise can be spread out, forming a patrol network between each other, as long as there is a pirate ship breaking in, they will surround the past, and attack it in groups, at first it was really because of Zhou Dong's carelessness, and lost two three-masted galleons, but as soon as the cunning fox Jackscott saw this formation, he fell far away, and did not touch this moldy head at all, but Rose just ran into Chen Ye and his Thunderlight.

The Thunder Light will not rush into the patrol net of the frigate group at all, only bite a frigate on the periphery and attack desperately, under the shelling with a high probability of hitting, no frigate can carry three rounds, and can only retreat in to change to other frigates to protect, but the speed of the Thunder Light is amazing, and a strong speed broke out in a short time, but before the other frigates surround it, under several rounds of shelling, the frigate was sunk, and then turned around and left calmly, Ross has not seen the clipper, Shore's Goddess of Victory, The explosive power of the short-term is stronger than that of the Thunderlight, but it does not have such fierce firepower, the Pearl is sharp, extremely fast, and flexible, but it has a disadvantage, in order to increase the speed, the Pearl is almost an all-wooden structure, without the powerful protective armor of the Thunderlight, but it is such a broken ship full of "patches", in just a few days, with this kind of lecherous dog-like tactics, it sank 3 frigates of Ross alive.

In order to accommodate the soldiers on these frigates, Ross had to apply to the prince again to adjust the supply cabin, so that the prince threw away the treasure and vacated the position of the cargo compartment, which he didn't dare to mention, if at this time, Rose didn't know the other party's attrition tactics, he would have been a naval commander for so many years in vain, but he didn't have the slightest way, if he originally controlled his diet, he could still last for more than half a month, but more and more supply cabins had to be adjusted, and the extra food could not be thrown away, can only be fed into everyone's stomachs, so that everyone has eaten too much every day these days, but Rose has white sideburns.

On the twelfth day, Ross had to change the tactical arrangement again, and only 33 frigates were divided into 11 groups, of which 3 groups protected the golden treasure ship, and the remaining 8 groups were used to reconnoiter the periphery of 3 nautical miles, narrowing the scope of reconnaissance, and at the same time strengthening the group reaction ability in the encounter with war, I have to say that Ross still has a high level of tactical literacy, but Chen Ye only smiled slightly, 3 frigates together may have stronger response capabilities, but at the same time, there will be problems with each other, especially 8 groups of frigates, It is also necessary to take into account the range of 3 nautical miles, the way to echo each other can no longer rely on the flag of the lookout, it can only be a regular and fixed-point cruise mode, that is, in this range, they should be a cycle, how much time to pass from one point to another, if there is no change of guard, it is a problem, waiting for the escort fleet to respond to the rescue, after observing for a day, Chen Ye deliberately found Jakescott and Zhou Dong, and the three of them discussed before they decided on the tactics.

On the thirteenth day, the direction was northwest, and the wind force was seven, which was a very good weather for Sir Ross, and the Golden Treasure Ship was moving faster because of the tailwind, and a group of frigates were about to turn back three nautical miles behind the port side of the Golden Treasure Ship, which was already their largest reconnaissance range.

Suddenly, the Thunder Light broke through the early morning sun and sailed directly from a few nautical miles away at high speed, the frigates that had already dealt with the Thunder Light many times in these days reacted quickly, and the three frigates retreated in a "pin" shape, but turning at this time was equivalent to exposing the weakness of the stern to the enemy's shelling range, for the powerful firepower of the Thunderlight, no frigate dared to do this, so they just slowly retreated in a "Z" shape according to Ross's instructions, and tried to keep the shelling and armored side of the ship outward, But in this way, it was bound to be impossible to move quickly, but in a short time, the Thunder Light rushed into the range of mutual shelling.

The three frigates opened their firepower at the same time, and the 12 24-pounder guns on the port side were bombarded indiscriminately against Chen Ye, even if they were as strong as the Thunderlight, they had to temporarily avoid the edge, and it was nothing to take one or two hits, up to 4000 points of divinity value, with 300 points of armor, one or two shells fell on the Thunderlight, and it could only dispel a dozen points of divinity, but it was not possible to hit multiple shells at the same time, because the armor could not weaken each shell, Only the first shell will be weakened by armor in the approximate range for a short period of time, and if this shell breaks the defense, the next multiple shell hits will reduce the divinity value with no armor.
