Hines's voice was not loud, but it was clear to the ears of all the seamen on the Skuak, and the voice was as clear and unambiguous as if he had whispered it in everyone's ears.

The gunners on the starboard side of the Skua heard the captain's order, and where there was still a reason for disobedience, they used the fire rope in their hands to ignite the twist of the gun's gun.

Only the sound of the naval artillery bombardment was heard, and a total of 18 lead pellets burst out, and the starboard side of the Skua was suddenly filled with gunsmoke.

The cannon pellet passed through the twisted air created by the old black man Pierre in front of the starboard side, and flew towards the enemy ship with a whistling sound, and the sharp-eyed people had noticed that after the cannon pellet passed through this distorted air wall, the solid lead pellet that should have been black turned dark red, like charcoal burned through the stove, black and red, not bright, but enough to make people feel the scorching temperature contained in it, this is the "melting point" tactic that made Lao Wang almost plant a big heel before.

Pierre, the old black man, has a spatial ability called "temperature control", which can designate a fixed area as a temperature control zone, which has a definite and unchanging volume, but can change the shape of the area at will as long as it matches the total number of volumes.

After the designated area, if the inorganic objects that meet the quality requirements are stagnant enough in the temperature control zone, Pierre can directly modify the temperature of these inorganic objects themselves, up or down, but at present, he still mainly controls the temperature rise, which is more practical significance, the lead shot flies through the space directly in front of the starboard side, which is the temperature control area designated by Pierre, where the temperature of the lead shot is controlled, so that it reaches the melting point, and the ordinary bullet becomes a special bullet, which is the true face of the "melting point" tactic.

The lead pellet, whose own temperature was directly raised to the melting point, continued to fly towards the Wolf Hunter, because of the wind pressure, the lead cannonball under the melting point began to become irregularly shaped, and the end facing the wind was gradually flattened, which made the three-pound lead pellet look a little funny, like a steaming pie flying in the air.

"Bang bang bang. "There was an unusual sound of hits, and these alternative three-pounder gun pellets were really buckled to the hull of the Wolf Hunter like pies, like black soft mud, making the left hull of the Wolf Hunter as if it was full of scars.

It has to be said that the privateers under Hines were really of excellent quality, and they still maintained a one-third hit rate under the enemy's distant and evasive track, and 6 of the 18 high-temperature lead shot metal sludge heated by Pierre directly hit 6, and all of them hit the hull of the Wolf Hunter.

Like the White Tulip that had been attacked before, the Wolf Hunter began to burn due to the hot lead flowing on the wooden hull, but unfortunately, there was no one as intelligent as Takenaka on this ship.

The captain of the Wolf Hunter is an old pirate who was raised by Glenn, he has a flexible reaction and rich experience in naval warfare.

It's a pity that these are conventional methods, just like what Boss Tan did before, the painstaking efforts have been exhausted, and the performance is also very timely, but it is useless.

There was a rush of people on the deck of the Wolf Hunter, and the captain was anxious to organize the sailors to hang down to the left side of the ship to put out the fire at close range.

However, this operation was extremely inefficient, and by the time the metal solution finally ran out of heat and returned to its solid form and fell into the deep sea, there were six more black carbonization marks on the left side of the hull of the Wolf Hunter, extending almost from the porthole to near the waterline, like black lines drawn by a naughty boy improvised graffiti on the hull.

"Look, it's still impossible for these interactive characters to be smarter than the Selector, so stupidly caused structural damage to the ship, but then again, the Selector is not all smart people, and our current misses are just Mr. Wang. Seeing that the tactics were being successfully executed, Hines habitually muttered lazily: "Arsasin, properly urge your sailors to step up the loading, the opposite port side has successfully carried out the melting point tactic, two rounds of shelling, I need to see him enter the water." ”

Arsasin, the short man who was supervising the gun position, replied, "Yes, boss!" and immediately shook off the long whip that looked like a live snake in his hand, and the whip exploded with a flower sound with a slight "snap", and immediately lightly lit it on the shoulders of several sailors who were a little slower on their hands and feet.

The short man was obviously an expert at playing with braids, and controlled his strength just right, so that the sailors knew that they should speed up their work, and not so heavy that their hands would be painful and lose their mobility.

Compared with the efficient gun position of the Skuak, the Wolf Hunter because of the firefighting work just now, the deck was a mess, under the mixing of everyone's hands and feet, the timing of the gun position loading and returning fire was greatly delayed, and even the rudder sail cable was greatly implicated, and after a very poor coordination and operation, it had already opened up the distance of the ship close to 230 yards, and now it has returned to the position of about 210 yards, and the new repeating gun of England has completely failed to reflect the advantage.

But don't forget, the Wolf Hunter is now facing a two-on-one situation, and the Red Tulip, which has been tasked with the friendly Skuob, is eyeing it out.

Seeing that its artillery battle was sharp and beautiful, the ship immediately followed up and connected with the Skuak from end to end, which was equivalent to doubling the length of the Skuua's shelling, and the original salvo of 18 naval guns now became 36.

And, when the Skua went up to fight structural damage before, the Red Tulip had been cruising and following up, and now it was catching up, just as the loading of the gunwales had also been completed, and at this moment, she was waiting for the Skua to start shelling, and then she followed to fight the autumn wind together.

"Anti-artillery, anti-artillery!" the captain of the Wolf Hunter roared, he had already seen the two ships chasing after him now formed a formation of end to end, at a distance of 200 yards, the salvo of 36 guns was already comparable to the four-deck sail battleship that the Royal Navy was secretly developing now, although it was still lacking in caliber and gun quality, in terms of prestige and quantity, it was not far behind.

The captain of the Wolf Hunter kept an eye on the twin ships not far away, and when he saw the white smoke rising from the opposite side, he immediately crouched down, and then yelled for his sailors to follow suit, hoping to minimize his own losses.

He had already carefully calculated, the three-pounder or four-pounder gun on the opposite side was still a little difficult to hit a completely high-precision shelling at this distance, and his Wolf Hunter was a North Sea galleon ship known for its sturdiness, and there was no problem with it this time, and when the opposite side was refilled, he seized the opportunity to open the distance, and slowly used the repeating gun to hang the enemy, even if he couldn't grind to death, he could wait until the Glenn boss was done and come to support him.

But what he didn't notice was that the left hull of the ship under his feet had already made an undetectable creak due to the continuous rudder repair and disguised acceleration, and the carbonized part of the hull where the lead liquid flowed just now began to show traces of fracture, but in the noisy naval battle, who could notice this?

"Fire!" Mr. Wang probably gave an account of his ships, as long as they see us firing, they will follow the shelling, and we will probably be able to take the other side with this salvo. Hines saw the Red Tulip following and ordered the Skua to open fire.

Sure enough, the Red Tulip was only half a beat slower than the Skuas, and fired a salvo from the front and back of its feet, with 18 three-pounder guns and 18 four-pounder guns spitting fire at the same time, firing a total of 36 projectiles of both sizes.

The captain of the Wolf Hunter was very experienced, and his estimate of distance and hit rate was very accurate, after the salvo, the opponent only had less than 10 cannon pellets hit his hull, which was completely resistible, but before he could give the order to repair the rudder and open the distance according to the plan, he felt a tooth-aching creak from the hull of the affected side.

He didn't care much, and hurriedly ran to the port side to take a look, and his heart suddenly felt half cold, the left hull was not just punched out of a few holes as he imagined, but along the blackened traces of lead just now, there was a whole structural damage, and the entire left half of the hull fell into the sea, exposing almost a third of the inner compartment.

Because the wooden shell was destroyed, the raging sea water had begun to pour in, and I don't know how many sailors were floating and sinking in the water with the red liquid, and they were dead and transparent, and there was no sign of struggle.

Finished... The Wolf Hunter was finished, and the captain sat down on the deck with his ass and could not get up again, his mind was now in a mess, could it be that his galleon in the North Sea was a cargo that cut corners? Why was it broken open with less than 10 hits, and it was almost sunk!

"Well, that's the normal reaction to the melting point tactic, Mr. Harris, give her a ride, it's a respectable opponent too. Hines looked at the Wolf Hunter, who was in disarray, and looked up at the lookout.

"Yes, Boss Hines!" replied short and forcefully from the lookout post, the most serious-looking Harris of the Hines team.

The indifferent middle-aged Caucasian man set a rifle on the wooden bezel of the lookout post, and looked through the scope of the gun to observe the wolf hunter on the opposite side, who had completely lost the ability to fight back, he narrowed his eyes and took aim, and then decisively pulled the trigger.

"Bang hook!" A unique gunshot rang out, and a trail of orange light crossed the sky, connecting the lookout post of the Skua and the bare hull of the Wolf Hunter, if Lao Wang was here now, he would definitely be able to judge the origin of this rifle through the unique firing sound, as a descendant of the Anti-Japanese War soldiers, this gunfire was simply too familiar - it was the 38 Gaier!

Why do bullets glow?

Because Harris just shot a tracer bullet, this bullet uses the gunpowder gas when fired to break through the copper foil of the bullet shell first, and then break through the concave metal foil and ignite the tracer, and then after a short closed combustion, the pressure of the tracer burning is greater than the resistance of the metal foil, at this time, it will break through the foil to produce an open flame, and the bullet body begins to glow, to achieve the effect of tracer.

This kind of tracer bullet is often loaded in machine guns, with 5 ordinary bullets at intervals, which is used to indicate the trajectory and target, which is convenient for shooting in the night, but the tracer bullet with high heat deflagration is used as a long-distance ignition and is often used in special operations, and today Harris wants to use tracer bullets like this, and he is aiming at the powder bay of the Wolf Hunter!

"Boom!" The violent explosion attracted the attention of several ships that were fighting on the sea, and everyone followed the reputation, only to see that there was a shipwreck burning on the sea, and the explosion of the powder magazine was undoubtedly fatal to the wooden sailing ships of this era.

Glenn was also watching, the more he looked at it, the more uneasy he became, although the wreckage of the ship was burning in the distance, but the shape of the hull was obviously the shape of a large sailing ship in the North Sea, and not far from the wreckage, two four-masted galleons were turning their bows to close around him, what did this mean? Obviously, the second ship under his command, the Wolf Hunter, was the unlucky man who was being devoured by flames on the sea.

"Admiral, I don't think it's going to work, now we only have two ships left, there is no hope at all if we continue to fight, you know the strength of the Wolf Hunter, it can be cleaned up in such a short time, the other party's ship must also have a trump card, if we don't leave now, we can only be completely destroyed by the enemy!" The first mate ran to Glenn's side and said sincerely, he also saw the battle situation on the nearby sea.

He was not only the first mate on the Fox Hunter, but also the lieutenant of the entire fleet, and he had the duty and obligation to advise his admiral when necessary.

"Let's go, can you get away?" Glenn smiled miserably and said, "The Dutch have no other skills, they are first-class at grabbing wind and speed on the sea, we turn around and run, don't we give our backs to each other to fight?"

"But looking at the current situation, we have no other way!" said eagerly: "The Duke told us before leaving, the Caribbean Sea is about to set off a big storm, and all the warships that can move freely have been requisitioned, we have no reinforcements outside, and there is an obvious gap between our own strength and the other party, scattered and broken through, at least there is a glimmer of life, as long as we get to the land of England, even if the other party has great ability, it will no longer be able to do anything to us!"

"Shut up, I didn't say no retreat, we're royal privateers, not those face-saving navies. Glenn spat out.

"Admiral?" the first mate wondered what Glenn meant.

"If you want to break through, you have to open the gap, at least let the opponent's encirclement have a flaw, and rush out like a fly like this, how many nautical miles can you run?" Glenn sneered, the surprisingly long primitive rifled gun in his hand had been filled with complicated loading, and at this time he was holding it in his hand, and began to aim in the direction of the White Tulip.

"What do you mean?" it dawned on him that he and Glenn had been working together for a long time, and instantly understood what the fox hunter was thinking.

"Of course, the Dutch head, is it harder than the Spaniard, I haven't seen a rifled gun hit in the head without dying!" Glenn sneered and gritted his teeth, the expensive scope on the rifled gun in his hand locked the two figures on the opposite deck.
