Chapter 235: Do You Want to Learn My Magic Wing Glide?
Although the White Tulip's artillery combat skills are not among the best in the sea, she has really not suffered any defeat in the confrontation of ships of the same level.
Mary was able to make some gains from a distance of 210 yards, and under her command, the White Tulip, like the pseudo-white on the opposite side, went 4-of-18, and the shelling of the two sides exchanged shells to create a temporary draw.
The sailors began to cheer loudly as the sawdust of the false white horn flew, and sometimes, the morale boost in the shelling of the sea was as simple as that.
In naval warfare in the 17th century, the effectiveness of artillery bombardment was largely a matter of luck, as long as it was within range, each shot could hit the captain or mast of the enemy, and similarly, they could just fly by the deck and tear apart the bodies of a few sailors at most.
Therefore, as long as you can hit the enemy, it represents infinite possibilities, even if the losses caused are not large, it can greatly boost morale, which is why the seafarers of this era are generally overly superstitious about luck, and on some ships that believe in luck, there will even be a special prayer room for sailors to pray for good luck.
The False White was shelled, but the points of impact were basically in the hard hull part, and it seemed that there was little loss, and everything on the deck was in order, and the sailors continued to do their jobs, ready to continue the battle with the White Tulip.
Lao Wang set up a telescope to observe them carefully, the whole ship of the Pseudo-White was silent and calm, rescuing the wounded, organizing the loading, adjusting the course, these behaviors were no different from the White Tulip, and even more organized, conventional naval battles, these are basic operations, and they have nothing to pay attention to when they do this.
However, unlike the White Tulip, each post on the pseudo-white number is full of people, but even the small mistakes of accidentally bumping into each other or being accidentally blocked by companions did not occur.
This ship is definitely not operated by a real person!" thought to Lao Wang.
"Reload, speed up, give me a 20-second interval round this shot, and give me a better tempo of the shelling!" Mary threw herself into the naval battle, continuing to shout at her gun position sailors to adjust the shooting tactics of the White Tulip.
The keen beauty reporter has long discovered that although the ship opposite is a perfect naval combat machine, her advantage is precisely her disadvantage, as a machine, she can only repeat mechanically and do some predetermined "reasonable operations".
And to deal with this kind of mechanized thing, just break the routine and overwhelm her!
Good brains at home!
Lao Wang listened to his lover's order, secretly praised Mary in his heart for seeing the opportunity quickly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to feel the sea breeze, and roughly judged in his heart.
This virtual ocean has moderate winds, stable currents, light intensity around 10 o'clock in the morning, high visibility, and no dazzling sunlight, making it the most suitable environment for combat!
Wang Mancang smiled slightly, his face was shrouded in a faint murderous aura, Takenaka said that he had become more and more imposing recently, he didn't think it himself, but when he saw his casual expression, he would feel a throbbing in his heart.
"Sail and grab the wind, maintain the same speed as the enemy ship, increase the corner of the rudder, and circle with the enemy to ensure that the enemy is met on the flank!" Lao Wang ordered loudly, "After this enemy shelling, the whole ship will cooperate with the tactical action of the gun position." ”
The bombardment of the False White was suppressed by the sound of Lao Wang's order, and this time, the distance between them was closer, and the two ships were less than 200 yards, and 18 four-pound lead pellets were whizzing, and they were about to achieve a greater result than the last shelling!
"Hmph, what if we copy the ship? We still have good goods at the bottom of the box!
After Boss Tan integrated into the invincible uncle team, his temperament began to become a little wild, looking at the artillery bombardment on the opposite side, it was very likely to cause huge losses to the White Tulip, and immediately kicked on a bundle of white pillars that had been neatly stacked on the deck for a long time.
The white pillar was kicked by Boss Tan, like an angry puffer fish, and it swelled up instantly, it felt like a new inflatable life-saving rubber boat in the real world, and the moment the valve was opened, it was inflated.
"Dragone Technology, temporary honeycomb wall. Lao Wang looked at Boss Tan's movements, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, this was the second time that the Dragone Technology he knocked on had played a role in the Seven Seas Powerhouse Challenge.
This is actually a building material used by Dragone to build a temporary camp, and the design is inspired by an underground plant that, if hit in a reasonable position, will quickly inflate, expand to ten times the original size, and form a plate for temporary construction.
Moreover, it does not simply rely on inflation to complete the volume change, its interior will also be filled with dense sea surface hole tissue, which makes it light at the same time, but also takes into account a certain strength, which is how the name honeycomb comes from.
On the White Tulip, this building material became a shield against shelling!
8 out of 18!
The honeycomb wall was not able to completely block the huge inertia of the four-pounder gun, but when the gunlet shot through the honeycomb wall, how much kinetic energy remained?
Although the salvo of the false white number hit extremely high, under the defense of the honeycomb wall, the high hit did not bring them high profits as expected.
The remaining power of the cannon pellet after penetrating the honeycomb wall was pitiful, and a few lead pellets even rolled down on the deck, which was really a bit sorry for the amazing speed of disemboweling just now.
Of course, the honeycomb wall is not against the sky, and after withstanding the shelling, these walls have also exploded into pieces of various sizes.
This material is characterized by this, although it has a certain hardness, but the brittleness is also very high, and if the external force is too large, it is easy to crumble into pieces like now.
However, this is also an advantage in the eyes of the Dragone, in the event of a sneak attack by the enemy, the barracks are destroyed, and the soldiers can quickly break free from the light pieces and immediately enter the combat state, which is not harmful to anyone, and does not need to be wrapped around their heads and brains with leather cloth materials, which is indeed very convenient.
"Roderick!" Lao Wang beckoned to Boss Tan, "clear the deck, prepare for the next defense, and ensure that our gun emplacements have enough space to fire!"
Tan Liang agreed, commanded his subordinates to work, and the pieces were pushed into the sea along both sides of the ship's side, and the sailors at the gun position had already completed the preparation for shooting, and now as soon as the space was enough, he immediately looked at Mary, waiting for the order to fire.
"Everyone obey my orders, from bow to stern, as long as I don't shout to stop, no one is allowed to stop!" Mary ordered loudly, then squinted her eyes in the direction of the false white horn, and spat out the two words with flames in her mouth, "Fire!"
"Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~Boom" The starboard side gun position of the White Tulip sounded rhythmically, and the 4-pound lead shot continued to shoot at the pseudo-white horn on the opposite side.
This naval artillery technique, known as interval rounds, is able to take advantage of the difference in reload time to form a continuous firepower output.
Although in terms of output strength, this type of artillery fire is not as amazing as the traditional salvo, and at first glance the word hit rate is also reduced, and at the same time, because of the problem of gun heat dissipation, rotation is not a way to shoot for a long time, but the advantage of this tactic in medium and close range shelling is still obvious.
While it creates continuous fire, the gunner can also adjust the shot according to the impact point of the front gun, which is generally conducive to the improvement of the hit rate.
Moreover, in the unit time, the rotation method can maintain the firepower constantly, in naval warfare, it is very important to maintain suppressed sexual harassment of enemy ships, which is equivalent to not giving the enemy complete time from shelling, so that they are always in a state where they must dodge shelling and complete return fire at the same time, so that the enemy's hit rate is reduced from the side, Mary has never used this trick on the White Tulip before, and now in the face of the replica ship Pseudo White, it is simply appropriate to use this flexible change.
The sound of artillery continued for nearly 5 minutes, and each gun on the starboard side of the White Tulip basically fired more than 3 times, and the barrel began to accumulate residual heat because it was not completely cooled.
Mary, as the gun commander, knew this very well, and immediately ordered, "Stop the rotational firing, speed up the cooling, the Admiral may have to switch to the port side gun attack, all ready." ”
The sailors at the gun emplacements did as they were ordered and began to cool down the cannons, and the deck was steaming instantly, and it seemed that it would be difficult for these starboard guns to regain their firing ability in a short time.
However, it was all worth it, and the rotation paid off with great results.
The false white trumpet was hit by nearly 15 shells under the rotational fire, Mary and Lao Wang's combat style is more and more husband and wife, both of them like to abolish the enemy's offensive ability, this tactic is reflected in Lao Wang's close combat, that is, to attack the enemy's hands and feet, and in Mary's artillery bombardment, is to knock out the opponent's gun position.
Under the influence of this guiding ideology, Mary's gun position sailors also followed the same example, and the angle adjustment of the shooting was all aimed at the enemy's gun position, this round of firing, directly knocked out the pseudo-white 5 cannons, in addition, their casualties and hull damage were also very serious, the White Tulip, about to win this naval battle!
"Imposter, after all, it's almost meaningful!" said to himself, setting up a telescope to observe the situation on the pseudo-white number.
I have to say that robots also have the benefits of robots, and in this degree of damage, the pseudo-white number is still working well, and there is no emotional instability due to the disadvantage of the operation, and it is still continuing to fight.
"What would we do if someone had the upper hand in the shelling battle and fought like this?" Lao Wang looked at the pseudo-white number opposite, suddenly remembered something, and asked in the team channel.
"Our words, first of all, will react when the artillery battle is not dominant, either run or change tactics, and will inevitably react as soon as possible. Takenaka replied, "Besides, if we encounter this situation, there is a high probability that we will rush up to the side of the board to change our moves!"
"That's what I'm talking about, you said that since the opposite side is a copy of us, and the cutting into the shelling is also good, in this case there is no reason not to learn from us to come up and take the gunwale. Lao Wang said in a deep voice: "They should be about to be pasted!"
"But they are now too far away, a full 150 yards, at this distance, how can they come up to the broadside?" "If we dare to rush up regardless of it, we will open fire while opening up the distance, their ships are not in good condition as ours, and they are certainly not our opponents in terms of speed, and if they want to engage in broadside combat, they must be able to rely on it!"
"If the other party is a copy of us, then the focus of our thinking should be on ourselves, and in such an unfavorable situation, what can we do to cross the distance of 150 yards and complete the broadside battle?" asked Lao Wang.
"The solution is not on the ship, but on the people, uncle. Takenaka reminded, "If you are like you, you can use it."
Before Takenaka's words fell, a black shadow rose from the pseudo-white horn, like a huge bat, flying in the direction of the white tulip.
Lao Wang saw it at a glance, and instantly thought of his trick to deal with Glenn in the North Sea, the imposter copied not only the ship, but also the ability of Lao Wang and several of their selectors, which was also copied intact, this shadow that broke through the sky, using the trick that Lao Wang learned after becoming an Ambershad-level demon, Demon Wing Gliding!
"Good guy, you can do a full set of acts, and you have really learned everything!" Lao Wang looked at the figure in the air, it was the middle-aged captain on the pseudo-white number, and his own proud skills were imitated by the enemy, so he naturally couldn't be much better, and snorted coldly in his mouth, "Silly roe deer, even if you have my skills, you can't come up and use it indiscriminately, the effective distance of the magic wing gliding is only 100 meters, so far, I see how you land on my ship." ”
In order to adapt to the seafaring habits of the 17th century and better integrate into the world of trials, Lao Wang and his team uniformly used the British unit of measurement to calculate and count various data.
When fighting, they used yards instead of meters, and the distance between the two ships was 150 yards, converted into meter units, which was about 136 meters, and this distance minus the effective distance of the magic wing gliding, there was still a full 36 meters of gap, and when the time for the magic wing to glide ran out, the distance of 36 meters could not be crossed, and the only end was to fall into the sea.
The expressionless middle-aged man in the air didn't seem to take into account what Lao Wang was worried about at all, he tried his best to spread his magic wings and flew towards the white tulip, like a moth to a fire, knowing that he couldn't do it, but he was still trying to forget about his life.
"Uncle, I don't think it's right, the enemy is just AI intelligence, this kind of robot attribute character, never passionate, never lose reason because of desperateness, in what situation is the most suitable thing to do, they have strict algorithms, there is absolutely no hope to risk death to try, this state, why?"
"He glides with magic wings, can he successfully board the ship?" Lao Wang also wondered, "I can't do this myself, why should he?"
"Old Wang, take a closer look, he's not alone!" said the sharp-eyed Mary.
