Those who have attracted the attention of the high-level selectors, you are about to face the feeling of helplessness.

Our plan for a mirage attack is so unreasonable, how can you react to it? Will you watch my warship appear out of thin air in a panic, or will you keep a dumbfounded expression until the deadly bombardment is launched and completely crush you? I am looking forward to it, although I can't see it.

But don't worry, I'll come back with the Spirit again and launch a general attack while you're in even greater panic, and then you'll know how terrible our artillery bombardment really is, and wait, you won't be able to win this naval battle anyway!"

Falconi was a very arrogant man in his bones, don't look at the fact that he often taught Ivan to be modest and cautious, and not to underestimate anyone, but in fact, when the plan succeeded, he was more arrogant than anyone else.

"Boom, boom!"

The sound of shelling sounded, but Falconi's face was not as calm as expected, his expression stiffened slightly, his eyebrows tightened unconsciously, and the eyes in his perforated eyes trembled rapidly, as if they were about to turn.

He turned to Ivan and said, "What's the matter, Ivan, how could Giovanni and Marni's shelling start so early, and the 10-second mirage time has already arrived?"

"Captain... It wasn't the two gentlemen who fired the fire, it was the enemy's ships that fired first!"

"What are you talking about!" Falconi felt as if his brain had been hit directly by a four-pounder cannon, and the corners of his eyes jumped uncontrollably, and a strong uneasiness instantly enveloped his whole body.

The handsome man with blind eyes could no longer care about his former demeanor at this time, and grabbed Ivan and said loudly: "How is it possible that the enemy's ships are the first to fire?"

"Captain, to be honest, I don't know why the enemy reacted so quickly, but they did launch the artillery bombardment before the two gentlemen could unlock the mirage state!" Don't look at Iwan's tall horse, he was captured by Falconi's crazy momentum, he could only ask and answer, even if the captain would be angry, he could only tell the bad news 1510.

But even if they knew that we had a backhand, how did they know our means and the location of our ships?

After the initial period of anger, Falconi's state of mind has calmed down, he endured the doubts and disbelief in his heart to control his thinking, at this time, he is everyone's reassurance, only if he is stable, the ship can be stable!

Blind Eye let go of the hand holding Ivan's collar, gritted his teeth, took a few deep breaths, and lowered his heart rate and voice before he ordered Dahan: "Ivan, give the order, turn the rudder immediately after the spirits are good, go back and use the normal wandering battle mode to entangle the enemy's fleet, launch an artillery bombardment before the loss of resources, and continue the naval battle!"

He raised a hand and pinched Ivan's wrist, as if this would help him think, and continued: "Marni and Giovanni were attacked in the mirage state, and according to the attributes of the props, they will suffer the backlash of the props' effects, so they will have a full 3 minutes to get out of the fog of the mirage and return to the fighting state. ”

Ivan was shocked when he heard this: "Captain, this is not good, although within 3 minutes, if the enemy continues to attack the two gentlemen, their attack effect will be reduced to 50% of the original attack power, but let them fight uncontrollably, and when the two gentlemen come out of the mirage, the remaining ship structure will not be enough to support them to continue the naval battle!"

Falconi stared at Ivan firmly and said, "That's right, so the order I just gave is for us to grab these 3 minutes, so that Marni and Giovanni can hold out until they participate in the battle!"

Ivan answered yes, and then tentatively moved his arm that was still pinched by Falconi, the blind man felt Ivan's movements, and let go of the big man's arm with a slight startle, his face was a little depressed about the failure of the plan, but he quickly patted his cheek a few times, and returned to the appearance of the eight winds not moving.

Fighting a war has always been a matter of joy and sorrow.

The Beronno family, led by Falconi, was not in a good situation, which meant that the old king's tactics were a great success.

Because the little guy judged the battle situation very accurately, Lao Wang's fleet pretended not to know anything, but in fact, it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it seemed that in order to avoid the collision of the Spirit, the formation had been completely chaotic, but in fact, the filling of the fleet's gun positions and the sea surface guard had already been completed in secret, and they would give them a good look just when the enemy showed up.

What happened next was quite simple, when the two cruisers had just sailed out of the mirage effect, and were still paying attention to their opponents, Lao Wang's fleet had been in full swing for a long time, and there was no panic at all.

Moreover, because the big stone that had been hanging in their hearts fell to the ground, they had a sense of stability, and in this state, it naturally did not take 10 seconds from the time they reacted to the time they launched the shelling.

The unfortunate members of the two committees of the Borenor family were almost about to completely lift the mirage state when they were smashed by the flying four-pounder cannon pellets, and each ship was assigned to the care of two four-masted Galen ships in Lao Wang's fleet.

"Bamboo, what's the matter with them, even if they go out and get beaten, they won't stop moving like this?" Lao Wang looked at the end of the fleet, the two groups were constantly twisting the cruiser in the shadows, and his tone was puzzled with a little schadenfreude.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but it should be a restriction of some kind of item, such as how long it will be stunning, how long it will be paralyzed, and so on. Takenaka replied to Lao Wang, and then repaired a plate of rudder and said: "Uncle, look at the sea, the cruiser that cut off our formation before has turned around, it seems that she has not given up yet, and wants to come back to fight with us." ”

"Oh?" Lao Wang turned his gaze away from the two clouds at the bow and stern of the ship, staring at the spirit horn that had returned at this time, "Then it seems that both ships are also selectors, as you expected, his companions are indeed in some kind of uncontrolled state because of the prop backlash, so their actions make sense, and it is clear that this is using the artillery war to gain time." ”

"Admiral, Admiral!" the voice of the sailor at the lookout post was added at this opportune time: "The opposing ships at the bow and stern of the ship are still in the shadow, and the subsequent sporadic shelling has no effect, besides, the cruiser that cut off our formation just now is back!"

"She was really daring, we didn't go up to pick her up, but she came back on her own. Lao Wang sneered a few times and said: "What did I just say, this thing is just rushing to stumble us, this guy is really confident in his naval combat skills!"

"Uncle, give an order, the other party dares to drag us like this, it means that he is also very confident in time, the backlash of this prop must not be long, he is confident to hold on until his teammates are all into the battle!" Takenaka said very quickly: "In this way, it seems meaningless for us to continue grinding the two boats before and after, it is better to let this guy ask for mercy and kill her first." ”

Lao Wang nodded, changed his voice, and ordered loudly: "Banner, except for the support ships of the Argoth Chamber of Commerce, all 6 four-masted Galen ships are in an offensive posture, the fleet is retracted, in a one-line formation, all the port side gun positions meet the enemy, the gun emplacement tax is ready, as long as you enter the firing range and follow the flagship to shoot!"

Wang Mancang's more and more skillful orders were faithfully executed, the White Tulip side had the upper hand in the confrontation between the two sides, the sailors were all demoralized and nimble, and in less than a minute, the fleet formed a prescribed battle formation according to Lao Wang's arrangement, and the guns of the black hole hole also locked the direction of the cruiser's U-turn.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of the salvo was deafening, and in all the naval artillery bombardments commanded by Lao Wang, today's salvo was undoubtedly the largest one.

The six four-masted Galen ships had reached an astonishing 100 mark with only one side of the gunwales, and even if the caliber of the 4-pounder guns used was not considered heavy, the fire of all the guns in unison was enough to bring about a qualitative change through quantitative change.

The grand shelling scene even made the sailors on Lao Wang's side have a very strange worry, under this kind of shooting, even if the enemy's ship has a bullet rate of only 30%, it will face more than 30 shells hitting the hull, this number of cannons plus a few cannons when the fleet staggered before, even if it is a cruiser, it will go to see Poseidon.

"You have a very good sense of the situation, and you have a great strategy, but now let's see what I can do. Falconi was blinded by the rain of artillery.

At this time, he had already recovered from the defeat just now, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he slowly turned to Ivan and said: "Take our shields out, at this point, there is no need to hide anything, as long as you get rid of them, the props consumed can be re-replenished by the employer according to the battle record." ”

Dahan Ivan smiled knowingly, Pu Fan's big hand reached into his arms, and instantly took out a beautiful small shield like a coat of arms, and threw the small shield into the sea with a barrage like a wall in front of him, which made people confused, and didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Throughout, neither Falconi nor he had the slightest fear of the cannon rain coming, as if the Grim Reaper's rain of death, which could tear the Spirit to shreds, was an insignificant firework.

In the next second, the cannonballs rained down on his wild laughter and Falconi's blind gaze, but what was puzzling was that the shots of these solid cannonballs actually stirred up billowing smoke and dust on the sea near the cruiser, obscuring people from seeing.

"Admiral, the shelling is on target, but there is a lot of smoke in front of the enemy ship, and the damage of the other side cannot be confirmed, but the estimated impact rate is about 4 percent, which is enough to beat them into a sieve!" The lookout post quickly reported that they were also blocked by smoke and dust, and they did not see more things because of the higher observation angle.

Lao Wang grasped slightly in his heart when he heard this, he can be regarded as an old sea dog now, and he still has a deep understanding of naval warfare.

In the world of broken love, most of the naval artillery pellets are solid bullets, and after hitting a ship, the most effective means of killing the enemy is to rely on inertia and kinetic energy.

To put it simply, it is to smash the ship open with a powerful hammer, which is essentially no different from a powerful person throwing a stone to break someone's head.

Therefore, under this damage mechanism, in addition to the direct kinetic energy damage caused by the cannon pellet, the remaining ability is the ability to collapse and fly a little wood slag, since it cannot be blasted, is there sand and soil on the sea, so how should this smoke and dust that is big enough to block people's sight be explained?

In addition to the basic points of body size and weak back, hair and weak fire, there is another basic battle rule summarized by Takenaka for Lao Wang, that is, smoke is not harmful!

Coupled with a real person like Lao Wang, even if the enemy dies in front of him, he has to see the leather bag jump out to be at ease, this ambiguous situation really makes his brother feel like a rabbit in his heart.

"Continue to observe carefully, don't stop the filling work, this kind of smoke and dust will soon be blown away by the sea breeze, all ships are ready to maneuver, and they can't underestimate the enemy!" Lao Wang calmly ordered, his eyes looked at the fainter and lighter smoke, but his eyebrows were tightened more and more.

The roar is back!

Like rolling thunder in a lead cloud, Wang Mancang saw flashes of light appear in the gray mist, which was a sign of artillery activation!

"The enemy is bombarding! All air defense artillery is ready, and the flag is urgently announced!" Lao Wang shouted loudly, and before his words fell, the enemy's artillery pellets had already been fired!

It was the Spirit's artillery counterattack!

Unlike the four-pounder pellets fired by the White Tulip flotilla, the cruiser took a route of few and deadly shelling.

After the flash of fire in the smoke and dust, more than twenty six-pound gunpels tore through the gray curtain and shot straight at the sister ship next to the White Tulip with Falcony's revenge.

Don't underestimate the difference in the weight of a 2-pound gun, which in the 17th and 18th centuries, when the casting process was still relatively backward, which meant that the weight of the gun increased by nearly 500 pounds.

From the point of view of ship-borne naval guns, the mere lifting of a gun of this quality and the successful firing of it in a naval battle are not a trivial matter, and sometimes the strong recoil may even break the fragile wooden hull.

However, Falconi's Spirit clearly did not have this problem, and as the best of the cruisers, she successfully completed a salvo of 22 six-pounder guns, and this salvo was still fired in the smoke and dust.

The Tulip Sister ship shook with such violence that it staggered like a drunken man on the surface of the sea, shaking so much that people forgot that the six-pounder pellet had holes in her body of terrible size.

10 out of 22!
