And now, Ye Feng is only going to use a Class VI civilian warship without gunpowder at this time, as well as dozens of pirates who are not very effective in combat. 35xs

With such strength, grab a V-class battleship of the Spanish Navy!

Even the most nerve-wracking pirates know that this is obviously a difficult one, oh! No, it's more of an impossible task!

After a long silence, the old pirate who was temporarily acting as a referee could not help but hesitate and said, "Dear captain, although we really want to make that beautiful ship!" But it seems that with our current strength, it seems that we are no match for that battleship at all! ”

"It may have been torn to shreds by the ship's massive artillery before it could get closer!"

Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "So what if this is a cannon whose gunpowder is already the same as ours and is about to run out?" ”

Hearing this, the pirates' eyes couldn't help but light up and said, "If the other party has no gunpowder, then we are willing to take the risk!" ”

"But the question is, captain, are you sure that there is no gunpowder on that ship?"

"Of course!" Nightfeng said impatiently, "Now that I have put the opportunity to make a fortune in front of you, and I still say the same, if you don't have the courage to venture with me, then I can give you a pallet and let you get out of here." ”

The pirates couldn't help but look at each other, but in the end, none of the pirates gave up.

Because the pirates are not stupid, it is obvious from their performance that Nightfeng is a wizard with powerful magical powers, so he will definitely not put his life on the line.

And it can be seen from just now that he is still very generous to the crew, and a captain like this is also what the pirates are eager to meet, and as a pirate, he is already ready to die, so adventures can be regarded as commonplace for them.

Seeing that none of the pirates chose to leave, Ye Feng's heart was also very satisfied, it seems that although the strength of these pirates is not very good, but their will to dare to fight is much stronger than ordinary people. 35xs

After looking around, he immediately shouted, "Huskar! ”

"Here!"

"Next, you command the Albatross to sail towards the target, and you need to organize the crew for the broadside battle immediately! Remember, the sailors who rush to the first batch must be the elite of the sailors, because they have to buy time for their companions behind! ”

Huskar nodded silently, "I see!" Captain! ”

With that, Huskar immediately went into action.

In a few moments, under Haskar's arrangement, the Albatross immediately turned its bow and headed for the sea to the south.

Watching the pirates methodically maneuvering the pirate ship to move quickly, Ye Feng also nodded with a bow, sure enough, the hint of the nightmare space is indeed not wrong, on the sea, it is indeed necessary to rely on the pirates to be able to complete the task well, otherwise, if there are not enough pirates, then even if the contractor is strong, but the doppelganger is lacking!

They can't just rely on a few people to start a battleship!

After mindfully controlling the Python Corpse Soul to follow the battleship, he smiled and took out some bread, crushed it and fed it to the seabirds standing on the edge of the ship in front of him.

Watching the cute seabirds quickly peck at the crumbs, his heart is also very happy!

For he was able to determine that the gunpowder on the Spanish warship was running out of gunpowder with the help of these seemingly incapable seabirds.

Although the seabirds could not conduct detailed reconnaissance, they could easily tell which ship had little or no cannon noise on it!

You know, at this time, it was in the midst of a fierce naval battle, so the battleship did not fire its guns or said that the frequency of firing guns was very low, then there was only one possibility, that is, the battleship's gunpowder reserves were close to exhaustion. Flash Dance

After all, unlike pirates, whose main purpose is to seize warships and thus gain a lot of wealth.

The main purpose of the Spanish navy was, to put it bluntly, revenge, and, to be honest, they were not interested in these dilapidated warships of the pirates.

Therefore, the Spanish navy preferred to sink all the pirate warships with artillery, and it was precisely because of this that Yefeng was able to be sure that the Spanish battleship must have been unable to fire any more guns because of the lack of gunpowder reserves.

After more than ten minutes had passed, Ye Feng could finally clearly see the details of the Spanish battleship in the distance.

It can be clearly seen that the battleship must have just experienced a fierce broadside battle, because at this time, there were still many pirate corpses left on the deck of the battleship.

At this time, the sailors who looked like servants were constantly carrying the corpses and throwing them into the sea, and a large amount of blood was collecting near the battleship, thus attracting countless sharks to surround the battleship and devour the corpses.

Countless sharks have dense sharp dorsal fins on their backs, as if bamboo shoots have risen from the surface of the sea in vain.

However, while Night Edge could clearly see the Spanish warship, the navies on the Spanish battleship could also clearly see that Night Front's pirate ship was rapidly approaching it.

Despite the difficult hand-to-hand combat, the Spanish navy was very good at fighting.

In less than half a minute, the sailors who were carrying the corpses disappeared from the deck in an instant, replaced by a large group of heavily armed Spanish navy.

Unlike the pirates, who were not universally armed with arquebuses, as a regular navy, they could be said to have a powerful arquebus, but those armed with short muskets only belonged to the officer class.

Except for arquebuses, most of the naval sailors were not equipped with melee weapons, but their arquebuses were equipped with a steel bayonet about ten centimeters long as a weapon in close combat.

At this time, these sailors armed with arquebuses were lining up in a neat line to aim in the direction of the pirate ship Yefeng, but because the warships of the two sides were still a considerable distance away and were not within the range of the arquebus, they did not shoot immediately.

Unlike pirates, who were generally not accustomed to shooting from a distance, the Spanish navy was highly trained in shooting, so most of the sailors had a fairly accurate level of shooting.

This also makes it necessary to experience the baptism of arquebuses in addition to undergoing artillery bombardment when fighting the navy.

At this time, while the Spanish sailors were waiting for them, the Albatross was also approaching it at a rapid speed.

In a short time, the Albatross was within a nautical mile of the Spanish battleship, and this was already the best firing distance for artillery in naval warfare.

At this time, in addition to the night front, the pirates on the Albatross pirate ship were also looking at the opposite battleship with fear, fearing that its artillery would fire a salvo like this.

You know, at this time, the pirate ship has no ability to fight back!

As the saying goes, the more you are afraid of something, the more it will come!

Just when the pirates were scared, the Spanish warships in the distance really opened fire.

"Boom" "Boom"

Several bowl-sized cannonballs streaked across the sky in a parabolic trajectory and landed on the sea a few meters away from the pirate ship.

The waves of shells fell on the deck as if it were raining!

However, after the cannon roared, the strange thing was that except for a few pirates who screamed in panic, most of the pirates just looked at the Spanish warship in the distance in great amazement.

Because the pirates who had been in the field of battles were of course quick to hear from the roar of the cannons that there were only two or three cannons firing just now.

You know, there are at least ten guns on one side of the Spanish battleship, but now! There were only two guns fired, and at most only three.

What does this mean!

This means that what Ye Feng said before was not wrong, the artillery powder reserves on this battleship were indeed close to exhaustion, otherwise, they would not have been able to just fire two or three guns in a salvo.

The reason is also very simple, because limited by the artillery manufacturing process at this time, the hit rate of the artillery is of course impossible to achieve a hit rate of more than 50% through the fire control system through the fire control system as in later generations.

And the artillery at this time, even experienced and skilled gunners, at most, achieved a 30% hit rate on large targets a few miles away.

Therefore, the sailors at this time, in order to improve the hit rate, used salvo artillery.

And salvo artillery, of course, the greater the number of salvos fired at the same time, the greater its hit rate.

Thus, at this time, the Spanish ships in the distance, although they had ten guns, were only firing with two or three guns, and there was no doubt that they must have done so because the amount of gunpowder was close to exhaustion.

It is precisely because of this realization that the pirates on the Albatross pirate ship will face the Spanish battleship that opened fire, without any fear or panic.

Because the firing of the Spanish battleship made them certain of the fact that its gunpowder reserves were close to exhaustion, on the contrary, if the Spanish battleship did not open fire!

Then the pirates will be terrified!

Because they weren't sure if the Spanish ships didn't fire because they really ran out of gunpowder reserves, or because it was just a trap?
