The second shift on January 1 ~~~~

=============================================================================

The cannons of Clarimu Harbor began to fire back, and although it was a hasty shelling, the sound of the cannon still made the pirates tense, and they realized that the enemy in front of them had come to their senses, and was no longer at their mercy.

After all, the seventy-eight cannons in that tower were not toy ornaments, they were seventy-eight cannons of caliber comparable to the bow gun!

Due to the haste and confusion, the soldiers of the port tower battery, under the command of the officer, temporarily operated only ten cannons to return fire on the pirates.

The tower's cannon can be adjusted at a very small angle, and the accuracy is naturally low.

If the tower cannon wants to hit the opponent, it must rely on the artillery fire to form a powerful barrage, second, it must rely on the experience of the gunner to adjust the muzzle, third, it is necessary to hope that the opponent is best anchored on the sea as a live target, and fourth, and most importantly, even if the opponent is anchored at sea as a live target, if you want to hit the opponent, you must rely on luck.

The first wave of artillery fire from Clarimu Harbor was very unlucky, they were not as carefully prepared as the pirates, and adjusted the muzzles of the guns one by one, not to mention the fact that the opposite tower collapsed into ruins at this time, this is a lesson from the past, who knows if their right tower will become like this?

If it weren't for the fact that the officer with a saber had already chopped a few fleeing soldiers to death, I was afraid that these soldiers who fired their cannons with a bitter face would also turn around and run away.

But even so, the cannonballs from the cannons of the castle tower bombarded the sea next to the battleship, and the sea pillars that were stirred up burst up, only to make some pirates who had not experienced a real naval battle turn pale, and couldn't help but think: If this cannonball hits their own ship, what will it look like?

It didn't matter if he thought about it, he suddenly trembled all over, his hands and feet were weak, and the situation that was indispensable for the recruits to go into battle appeared.

This was the time of tactical contingency for the Alcatraz First Fleet and the Second Fleet of *Erko, and a barrage of orders from Christina and Bill quickly rang across the decks of every battleship.

Christina, as the commander-in-chief of this battle, commanded and controlled the battleship's response to the enemy, while Bill, as the deputy commander, was responsible for coordinating up and down.

After all, Christina graduated from the Royal Military Academy, although it was the first time for her to fight in naval warfare, but her major was her major, and she couldn't be compared with Tang Jie, a rough man who fought and rushed halfway.

Just after the bombardment of the left tower of the port of Klarim, the two fleets have been in a wandering process, one side is constantly approaching the left tower, and the other side is bringing the right tower into their own firepower.

This kind of action is, firstly, to ensure that when bombarding the city tower on the left, once the opponent returns fire, then the two fleets are in a state of swimming, and it is more difficult for the opponent's tower artillery to hit a swimming target like them, while it is less difficult for them to bombard a fixed target such as a city tower battery.

Second, because when the pirates attacked, they launched an attack from the sea surface of the port on the left, and the ships were from the bottom up, the closer they were to the port on the left, the more accurate the artillery fire was, and once the city tower on the left side was destroyed, then the two fleets also successfully entered the attack range of the cabin guns, at this time, as long as the two fleets crossed the hull at the same time, then eighteen warships and hundreds of cannons bombarded at the same time, such a scene, even a mountain would be bombarded!

Just this tactic of hitting with one hand and one by one, eating one stare at the other, is enough to make Tang Jie clap his hands and praise and think carefully.

By the time the battery on the right side of the port of Clarimu began to return fire, Christina had already ordered the two fleets to turn their bows and prepare to cross the hulls of the ships, making the most ferocious killer weapon of the naval battle.

"Left full rudder!!!" was the roar from almost every battleship.

The sailmen on the battleship, most of them shirtless, with muscles protruding from the rocks, roared in unison, pulling the sails from a zigzag to a cross, and the ships began to tilt heavily due to the sails and the wind affected by the wind, and the bow of the ship turned little by little, aiming its belly at the right tower of the port of Clarim.

In Tang Jie's view, Christina's tactics are very similar to the tactics of playing snooker billiards: after hitting a ball into the pocket, she uses the residual momentum to make the white ball swim to an optimal offensive position, and then it is followed by another shot!

But the soldiers in the tower on the right side of Clarimu Harbor looked at the battleship that was gradually smashing horizontally, and they didn't think like Tang Jie*.

It was as if they saw a devil turn his face little by little, revealing its most hideous and terrifying fangs!

The first to cross was the pioneer battleship "Bad Boy", this battleship, from the captain to the sailors, were the youngest teenagers, they were very impactful, and they didn't know what fear was, they first let their battleship cabin guns join the warband.

"Fire!!" Link, who had received the order to attack freely, stood on the bridge and let out a young yell, and soon his orders were passed on by the more immature teenagers until he entered the gun bay.

In the gun cabin, all the teenagers were sweating profusely, their eyes were round, and the air in the cabin was extremely hot, as if a spark could explode immediately.

As soon as the order to fire the cannon came in, the sailors holding the fire immediately lit the fuse of the cannon, and the teenagers stared nervously and excitedly at the sparkling cannon, some clenched their teeth and clenched the long knife at their waists, while others covered their ears and bared their teeth.

Soon, the fuse burned out, and an earth-shattering cannon bombardment continued to sound, and the cannons in the huge cabin retreated in turn, and then the whole ship was tilted by the strong recoil of the cannon on one side of the cabin, and the young sailors in the entire gun compartment were crooked, and then they rushed to the gun hatch to see the results of this * shelling.

More than 20 guns hit the target, and the huge right tower was shrouded in a puff of smoke, but they couldn't see the results of the battle for a while.

Wait until Kunda, the chief gunner in the cabin, yells: "You bastards, do you still think you are being a free sailor on the docks, get back to me!

The teenagers scattered in a bang, each returning to his or her own post, hurriedly preparing for the second shelling.

Soon after the first shelling of the "Bad Boy", the flagship "Hell" also roared, followed by the third, fourth, and the last battleship of the Second Fleet of *Erko, and the entire right battery of Clarimu Harbor had turned into a huge fireball with sparks constantly tumbling.

Not only this castle tower became the first target, but also other places were turned into a sea of fire by artillery fire.

In the port of Clarimu, in addition to the rumbling shelling and the screams and wails, the people in the port ran towards the inner city like crazy, and some sailors and merchants of the Chamber of Commerce on the merchant ships anchored at the port also jumped off the ships and fled the port frantically, for fear that the shell would fall on their heads in the next second.

Under the siege of eighteen warships and two fleets, the right battery in the port of Clarimu only uttered one shelling at the end before it completely collapsed.

Although the caliber of the bow gun is large enough, no matter how heavy the fist is, it can't hold the opponent's fist more, and the landing point is dense!

These hundreds of cannons* bombarded the tower, combing back and forth in this tower like ploughing, and the temporary fleet of Alcatraz actually took this port with only one battleship lightly damaged!

But as Tang Jie said, Clarimu Harbor is just a hornet's nest, and it is very easy to poke it down, and it is a real challenge and test to prevent the hornets from swarming out of the hornet's nest next.

"This is a test ......," Tang Jie no longer cared about the battle situation, turned his head to Nia and said, "Let Christina and Bill replenish fresh water and food in the shortest possible time." ”

Nia nodded and asked, "What about the guards in the city?" In a city like this, there are at least tens of thousands of guards stationed, do you need to let the Demon * Legion be dispatched?"

Tang Jie smiled dumbly: "How can you use the trump card so quickly, tell Christina that if they find that there is an army gathering in the city, they will bombard it with cannons, and where there are more people, let their subordinates rush over with the momentum." At this time, soft-heartedness is the greatest cruelty and ruthlessness to oneself. We've come all the way here, but we're not here for charity!"

If this kind of words were changed to Agatha or Lilith, they would be afraid to bear it when they heard it, Konia is different, this is a pirate who has been tempered and killed in blood and fire, she is absolutely dead to Tang Jie, but for others, she is absolutely ruthless, and her father also turns his face when he says it!

Nia nodded, her eyes already glazed over as she looked at the port of Clarimu.

"Judging from the intelligence collected by Maria, such cities generally have a commercial port and a military port......" Tang Jie pondered for a while, thought for a while, and said. There is a medium-sized fleet stationed in the military port of Clarimu, which is less than a hundred nautical miles from here, and if I were the captain of this fleet and hear about Clarimu in three hours, then I would spend ten minutes thinking and judging, and another two hours to reorganize the troops and prepare for departure, a hundred miles away, and in the case of a side headwind, they would have to sail for at least two hours, so ......"

"We still have seven hours to take the city completely!" Tang Jie said slowly.

Nia nodded again, but asked a little blankly, "Hours, what kind of time is this?"

Tang Jie was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that in this world, the unit of timekeeping on the sea is based on the hourglass, and there are twelve grids on one side of the hourglass, one leak is an hour, and the other side is half a day.

This kind of timekeeping* can only be accurate to the hour, and none* continues to be accurate to the minute, which is very inconvenient in Tang Jie's opinion.

As soon as Nia said this, Tang Jie suddenly felt that there were many, many things that he had to change Alcatraz, not just a matter of submarines, mines, breech guns, rifling and hollow shells.

Tang Jie didn't want to explain much at this time, just smiled and said, "An hour is a leak." ”

Nia sighed, a little understood.

At this moment, suddenly there was a cheer from the sea, Tang Jie and Nia followed the sound, but saw that the last of the two towers on which the port of Clarimu depended had finally collapsed under the bombardment of *.

At this point, Clarimu Harbor's main ability to fight back has been defeated by the pirates of Alcatraz Island, and this rich city is exposed naked in front of them like a charming young woman who has been stripped naked.
