The reason is actually very simple, that is, the relationship between weight. Flash Dance

You must know that the weight of the twelve-pound gun is as high as more than 2 tons, and the extra 2 tons of weight is a very intuitive reaction is that the speed of the battleship is instantly reduced by 10.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Tempest is good at speed, and they knew very well that they were going to deal with the mermaids in the sea this time, the navy would not have changed the bow gun to a twelve-pound gun!

At this time, Ye Feng's heart was also secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, he had very decisively released the ghost mist ability in the previous battle, curbing the firepower of the navy, so that they could only use the method of broadside combat, otherwise, even if he was on a V-class battleship captured from the Spanish Navy, if he was hit by this twelve-pound gun, it would be a very dangerous thing.

However, it is also a pity that he only encountered a Tier III battleship this time, if he encountered a Tier I battleship of the British Navy, then even if he cast the ability to summon ghost mist, it would be impossible to escape the fate of being sunk into the sea!

The reason is very simple, because the British Navy's I-class battleships, from small to last, have a total of three layers of artillery decks, and there are almost a hundred guns.

And the point is that most of the 100 guns are more than 12-pound heavy guns, and their bow guns are terrifying 24-pound guns!

A salvo of 100 guns, even if the hit rate is not very high, there is still a high chance of hitting the battleship in the ghostly fog!

In fact, this is the main reason why the pirates will never be able to defeat the British Navy, because among all the pirates, the only ones that can be compared to the three Tier I warships are the Black Pearl, the Queen Anne Avenger and the flying Dutchman.

And what about the British Navy!

Although the construction of each I-class battleship alone is as high as hundreds of thousands of gold pounds, note that this is only the gold pounds required to build a naked battleship, if you count artillery and other equipment, then a Class I battleship will need at least hundreds of thousands of gold pounds!

However, although these hundreds of thousands of gold pounds are an existence that most pirates need to look up to, it is not unattainable for a country. Flash Dance

Therefore, although the cost of a Tier I battleship is as high as hundreds of thousands of gold pounds, so far, the British Navy has accumulated nearly ten Tier I warships!

Ten against three!

Such combat effectiveness can already be said to be very disparity.

And it should be noted that once the British are in a hurry, their industrial level can also immediately build 5 new I-class warships at the same time, but this will also reduce the British treasury funds by more than half.

In fact, the reason why the strength of the British Navy in the Caribbean Sea now seems to be similar to that of the pirates is mainly because most of the British I-class warships are guarding against the navies of neighboring countries, such as the Spanish Armada!

In addition, the queen is now for the pirate forces, as long as they can pay enough contributions, it is not impossible to accept the surrender of sincerity and darkness!

Next, because all the pirates know that they are not completely out of danger yet, after all, they are still in the mermaid sea!

Who knows if there will be a large number of mermaid reinforcements in the next second!

Soon, in less than half an hour, the pirates had moved all the guns and supplies on the Vere to the newly captured Tier III battleship, the Windwind.

However, at this time, Yefeng had to face a very difficult choice, that is, the battleship was already very overweight at this time.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the number of artillery, you know, the so-called one-pounder cannon and two-pounder cannon now, does not refer to the weight of the artillery, but only the weight of the shells it fires.

In addition, Ye Feng just replaced the one-pounder cannon on the battleship with a three-pounder gun just now, but there are more than eighty guns!

And even in the case of a Tier III battleship, according to its draft, then it is only a hundred guns at most. 35xs

This meant that Nightblade had to reluctantly throw some of his cannons into the sea, because if he didn't, it would be nice if the Tempest would be able to move at the same slow pace as the old man on a tricycle.

And this kind of turtle speed is also unacceptable for pirates who advocate the code of conduct of coming and going like the wind.

After a difficult choice, Yefeng finally had to give up more than forty three-pounder guns, which meant that half of his previous valuable efforts were wasted.

As for the newly captured forty five-pounder guns, of course, they were left behind, after all, the larger the caliber of the shells, the longer the firing range.

In the end, the firepower on the Hurricane was preserved as having more than 40 five-pounder guns and 3-pounder guns, and as for the twelve-pounder guns in the bow of the ship, he also retained them, after all, this is a real big killer!

Among other things, its deterrent power alone was enough to make Nightfeng determined to keep it, because only a cannonball fired by a cannon over twelve pounds could cause real damage to a Tier I battleship.

On the other hand, even if the shells fired by a five-pound or seven-pound gun successfully hit the hull of a Tier I battleship, it would need to hit the same position several times in a row before it could actually cause damage!

After transferring the guns to the newly captured flagship, and after confirming that there were no more valuable items on the original Verre, Nightfront slowly walked to the captain's quarters of the Tempest.

To Nightfeng's surprise, he actually saw a hanging chart on the wall of the captain's quarters!

This chart clearly shows the routes and coordinates of ports and shipping routes throughout the British waters, not only that, but also the routes and coordinates of the routes and coordinates of countries near the United Kingdom, such as France and Spain!

You know, in the current era, it is not like the later generations that any person can use a mobile phone to search for detailed charts, and the charts of this era rely on a large number of people's lives.

After Ye Feng saw this chart, he felt a lot better about the depression caused by throwing the newly purchased cannon into the sea just now.

Because the value of this chart alone is enough to be worth several times the value of the Tempest he is riding on now and the guns he is loading!

Subconsciously, Yefeng immediately looked back behind him, and when he saw that there were no pirates behind him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he immediately received the charts hanging on the wall into his personal storage space with lightning speed.

Because once the pirates on the ship knew about the existence of this chart, then he had to worry about whether there would be a mutiny.

After all, the pirates of this era believe in the land, but if there is milk, it is a mother! As long as there are enough benefits, betrayal is simply as natural as drinking water.

And this chart already constitutes enough benefits!

In fact, even in the sequence of the Navy, only ships above level II are eligible to have this chart, and if it weren't for the special relationship of this mission, there would not be a matter of this chart appearing on a Class III battleship.

After taking a few breaths of air to calm down his excited mood, the next second, Ye Feng's originally closed eyes also opened instantly, if someone stayed by his side at this time, then he would see that when he opened his eyes, a bright light flashed out of his eyes.

It's just that this light only lasted for less than a second, and then it was fleeting.

Then, he immediately used his spirit to communicate the nightmare mark on his chest, and proposed to transfer the ability to summon ghost mist on the Verl to the newly captured battleship, the Windwind.

"Contractor 0413, are you sure to transfer the captain's ability, Summoning Ghost Mist, from the Verl to the Windwind?"

"Isn't it?"

"Please note that when you transfer the ability to summon ghost mist, within five minutes, the transferred ship will gradually disintegrate!"

In this regard, of course, Ye Feng had nothing to hesitate, and decisively chose the option of 'yes', after all, even if he didn't do anything, in the following time, the Verde could not avoid the fate of being buried in the sea, because the keel of the Verr, in the previous ghost fog natural disaster, was hit by the thunder in the sky, although because of the wooden relationship, the Verr was not damaged on the spot.

But in fact, there is already an irreparable crack in its keel.

You know, the keel of a ship is like the spine of a person, think of what happens if a crack appears in the spine!

Therefore, Ye Feng didn't feel much sorry for this.

After he chose to transfer the ability to summon the Mist from the Verr to the Wind, the Nightmare Mark quickly indicated that his ability had been transferred.

What makes him happy is that the ability to summon ghost fog, which was supposed to enter the cooldown time of the skill, can be used again, and it seems that this should be because the transfer of the ability is equivalent to resetting the skill.

It was a real bonus.

When Nightfront came out of the captain's quarters, it was just as the Vere began to disintegrate, watching the hull of the Vere suddenly seem to be destroyed and dismembered by an invisible giant hand, and a large number of broken wood chips floated on the surface of the sea like duckweed.

All the pirates couldn't help but subconsciously gaze at the Van's slow sinking into the sea, and it could be seen that the pirates' hearts were very heavy and uncomfortable at this time.

In fact, it is difficult for anyone who has not worked at sea to imagine the importance of the boat to the sailors, who are always at sea, the boat is their shelter and warm home!

After all, most sailors spend at least 70 of their lives on the ship!

Therefore, despite their pirates, their feelings for the ship are absolutely real and unquestionable.
