The blazing cannonballs emitted a piercing screech and carried a huge amount of kinetic energy, and smashed into the scattered Redbeard fleet.

Their decks, gun doors, and hulls exploded one after another in an instant, leaving countless holes, large and small.

Heavy cast-iron cannonballs bounced violently on the ship, crushing anyone who dared to stand in front of them, whether mortal or transcendent, into a blood mist.

The 24-pounder guns on this group of fourth-class ships have a range of up to 4 meters when the angle of fire is 1,350 degrees; When the firing angle is raised to 8 degrees, it can reach 2250 meters.

At an ultra-close range of 100 meters, the solid shells fired from the 24-pounder gun were able to easily penetrate the one-meter-thick oak hull.

Whether it is a third-class ship or a second-class ship, the defense power is all in vain.

In particular, the [Nemesis] was cocooned and bound, and originally wanted to bite the [Flaming Rose] to the death.

But because of the latter's sudden change of formation, he passively rushed forward, and pulled out the formation stiffly, and bore the brunt of the strongest wave of fire.

"Shoot back, shoot back!"

However, the counterattack of the privateer fleet was obviously too scattered, and there was even a low-level accident in which the shooting range was blocked by friendly ships.

This is where the "battle line tactics" are excellent.

Because of the layout of the sailboat, most of the guns were placed on the sides of the ship.

When the fleet is organized into a group of several warships, lined up in a longitudinal battle formation, and uses the side guns to fire in turn, it can give full play to its own firepower.

Entering the range of artillery, moving in parallel with enemy ships.

Each ship separately shells the designated enemy ships until the winner is decided or one side retreats.

The battle line is equivalent to an enlarged version of the tactics of lining up to shoot, and it is also a comprehensive duel of today's command, tactics, equipment, courage, and perseverance!

After a salvo, the [Flame Rose] of Violet, in particular, had the most fruitful results.

[Bow Portrait: Rose Girl] is a great achievement.

"The only effect: double bullet shot

In order to ensure that the hull of the enemy ship could penetrate the ship, the crew often loaded two shells at a time and filled with sufficient gunpowder, which was called a double shot.

But the cannon blessed by the Rose Maiden does not need it.

They only need to be loaded with one shell, and what comes out is a double shell.

One is a normal cast-iron shell, and the other is a high-temperature fireball that is equivalent to a scorching bullet. ”

Like Violet's character, this is a ship that increases its attack power to the limit.

The two shells, one in front and one in the back, turned the heavy hull and thicker ribs of the third-class ship into ornaments that were not much stronger than paper.

Eighteen 24-pounder guns can be used as thirty-six, compared to the thirty 24-pounder secondary guns on the leeward side of the Nemesis, and even has an advantage in firepower.

"Reload, shoot at me again, shoot me in the head!"

Unlike the high-spirited Flaming Rose, the Nemesis was filled with mourning.

"Help me, help me!"

On the upper artillery deck, a gunner cries out to his companion for help while holding his legs, which have been severed by shells.

The other bronze cannons, who had managed to control the loose guns, shook their heads at the sight of him.

Pulling out the gun very warmly gave him a good time.

In order to prevent the corpse from getting in the way of the combat position, the pirates didn't even bother to give their companions a decent pirate funeral, and simply threw him and two shaggy calves out of the cannon door.

Then he immediately returned to the battle and returned fire with artillery on the opposite Gulf battle line.

They have been blessed with a bow portrait that increases their accuracy by 20%, and the more often they fire, the more shells will hit enemy ships.

"Reload, fire!"

The pirates on the open-air main deck were not comfortable either.

A fireball landed right next to a 9-pounder gun, igniting the powder keg that had been placed there.

In an instant, a whole five-man artillery crew around them, along with the sailors who supplied them with gunpowder, were sent into the sky.

Cast-iron cannonballs, crowbars, rods, corks, and swords were blasted out along with them, smashing everything around them into a sieve.

The sailors, who were huddled with Byron on the backmast, were unfortunate enough to be stabbed in the heart by a rod used to load shells.

He fell headlong and fell into a puddle of rotten flesh on the deck.

Byron, on the other hand, was unharmed, not even blinking an eyelid.

What a warrior!

Loyal ministers who have done their best!

Even the most demanding pirate officer couldn't help but hold a cold sweat and give him such a comment.

But no one noticed.

The captain Redbeard was clearly dozens of meters away from the explosion site, but he was tragically affected.

Blinded in one eye by a dagger that fell from an unknown gunner.

Perhaps today they have become accustomed to the bad luck of Mr. Captain, and no matter how tragic it is, it will hardly surprise them again.

This is the confidence of Byron who dared to board the enemy ship Nemesis, and even shouted to Violet: "Shoot at me".

"If they could really aim at me with every shot, maybe this would have been all over."

Byron sighed regretfully, and did not forget to help the signal officer standing on the stern of the ship hang up the new signal flag.

But before the flag was hoisted, he had already gotten orders from Redbeard ahead of the other combat units.

To the ship: "Cancel the mark of hatred to prevent the passive departure of the team again", and to the fleet: "Move closer to me, a line formation".

Byron informed Violet as soon as possible, and by the way, he pointed out to the princess of the Wanmin who needed to be in charge of herself sooner or later:

"Remember, don't learn from the redbeard who rushes to the doctor.

Fleet command is not a game, and it is not a matter of smoothly conveying orders to ensure that predetermined tactics are achieved.

The hardest part of everything is the execution.

If the captains are not talented enough to quickly change formations, it is useless and dangerous to do so.

When the captains do not fully understand the form of attack chosen by the commander, the temporary change of formation can turn into a complete disaster. ”

"Order, the battle line steadied itself, kept in sync, and continued to fire volleys.

Our opponents are all large warships, and it is not realistic to sink enemy ships in a short time.

The powder magazine, located below the waterline, was also sufficiently safe to cause a martyrdom.

The primary goal now is to break their will and break through the psychological defenses of the other pirates with bloody losses.

Let this gang, which is united by interests, also fall apart because of interests!

The impetuous aura in the fleet tells me that this time node will not make us wait too long. ”

At this time, Byron was like a giant spider monster over the battlefield that had woven a large web and was waiting for it.

The tactics of naval warfare that he learned in the past were his hunting skills.

It's a battlefield of wind, sails, and artillery fire, but it's progressing rapidly over time.

A [Storm Knight] is in the center of the "storm", but he hides in the safest eye of the storm, directing the storm in front of him to devour everything.

The spirituality became more and more lively, and it seemed to gradually merge into every trace of turbulence of this "storm", turning its hands into rain and stirring up the wind and clouds.

No one except Violet knew that the two fleets had fallen to the fingertips of the same hands.

"All ships shoot freely, don't just shoot Redbeard, take care of other pirates, and hurt them for me."

Thick smoke rose like clouds, and flames burst out intertwined.

Violet strictly adheres to Byron's steady tactics and responds to all changes.

The battle line composed of six warships on the first line advanced obliquely, killing in the cold sea breeze and scattering in formation, barely having a linear redbeard square fleet.

The two fleets were moving in the same direction in the wind.

The deafening explosion never stopped from the beginning, and the crew members of the warships on both sides died tragically every moment.

But the longer the bombardment, the more fearful the pirates on Redbeard's side became.

The mournful cries of their companions quickly shattered their already small will to fight.

"Fight back, fight back!"

"Aren't we seven to six? Plus a third-class ship, why can't this be beaten?! ”

“”

They were responded to only by more ferocious shelling.

The pirates of the Bay People had been prepared for a long time, and even if some of the pirate ships were inferior in displacement to the fourth-class ships, they also emptied the inventory of Iron Anchor Bay and increased the caliber of the guns to the limit as much as possible.

The one-time instantaneous projection mass reaches a staggering 2322 pounds.

You must know that even a 110-gun first-class battleship has a projection mass of only 1236 pounds on one side of the gunwale.

The wills of the two sides are even more incomparable.

A rabble gathered for profit can collapse with 10% or even as little as 5% casualties.

But some strong armies can fight to the last man, creating a more outrageous perverted record.

Many of the Bay Folk pirates and the free pirates who supported them were traditionalists of Iron Anchor Bay, and they had little fear of life or death for their parents, wives and children.

As the battle came to the end of the first hour, and the fourth hour after the start of the fight, the restlessness in Redbeard's fleet finally reached a climax.

It only takes one spark to detonate it.

Byron, who was always watching all the movements, caught this at the first time, his eyes were sharp, and he decisively ordered:

"One more round of volleys, take out all the skills of each of them to press the bottom of the box, and strive to defeat them in one round!"

Violet, who has been acting as a microphone and has gained countless admiring glances, heard this, and immediately came to her senses, and her face was bright:

"I can't wait, Mr. Good Citizen, please enjoy my finale.

You don't want to die. ”

Turning his head to the gunners on the ship, he shouted:

"Load me with double bullets!"

"Fire!"

Naval artillery salvo.

With the blessing of the effect of [Rose Girl], "Double Bullet Shooting" and "Double Bullet Shooting", just one boat almost hit the fierce momentum of the barrage on the screen.

However, due to the withstanding capacity of the bronze barrel, this attack can only be fired once a day.

The other five battleships cooperated, and the overwhelming shells were like a blazing rain of iron, pouring down on the enemy ships.

And that's just the beginning.

Violet took a white whalebone whistle from her traveler's bag and blew it vigorously, but no sound was audible to the human ear.

Beneath the surface of the water, there was a sudden rush of red.

The dense red scales were like arrows off the string, dragging white lines one after another, and rushed towards the opposite side.

It was the massive school of fish fed with the [Gunpowder Recipe: Flaming Kiss], which she had kept as a killer feature until now.

In fact, this is Violet's graduation project at the Venaia Art Institute.

Although she herself called it "the greatest art", there is only one word for the real essence.

- Fried !!
