"The shelling distance is 500 meters, the starboard side was bombed!"
"The starboard side is bombed, the left rudder is full, dodge!"
Boom boom boom!
The cannons rang out continuously, and huge water splashes bloomed on the water surface of 50-200 meters around the Future.
This is the normal level of a maritime power.
In terms of shelling accuracy, the unique French have a threat distance of 300 meters, while Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal are probably around 200 meters.
500 meters is not the effective range of naval bombardment, let alone the marching state, against high-speed targets.
But Mirai still reacted too aggressively.
A sudden full left rudder, the slender hull tilted sharply, and the sailors rushing on the deck fell into a ball like a gourd.
Some of the sailors forgot to tie the dead line and fell all the way from starboard to port, and three others fell over the side of the boat and fell into the water.
Pierce saw it and clenched his knuckles white.
He is not worried about the personal safety of the sailors who fell into the water. This place is not far from the atoll. As long as they are not accidentally knocked unconscious by the water when they fall into the water, they all have enough opportunities to swim to the reef and wait for rescue.
He worried about the state of the crew.
The excessive nervousness of the rookies on the battlefield was vividly reflected at the beginning of the battle, including him as the commander.
The orders for the second-level combat readiness were all issued. He, the first mate, the second mate, the third mate, and sailing, none of the five orders thought of reminding the sailors on the deck to check the fastening ropes.
This made him deeply unconfident.
What other necessary commands are missing? What else is the general directive ignoring? If it was Lorraine, what would he do in the face of this chaos?
Xiao Sanmei ran to his side holding on to the guardrail: "Master, your cable..."
"Brother never lanyards when we start a battle!" Pierce slapped Sanmei Xiao's hand away, "The commander needs to be everywhere, and the lanyard will limit my range of action..."
"Enemy ships outflank! Distance 330,
The port side was bombed! Full! "
"The port side is bombed, the rudder is full to the starboard, evade!"
Boom boom boom!
The more and more intensive impact points, because the launch distance is close, the impact points also become closer.
Pierce and Xiao Sanmei were holding on to the guardrail tightly, but they accidentally missed a bullet and stirred up big waves, hitting their heads and faces on the deck.
Pierce was dazzled by the waves, and slid down the deck with his hands loose. Xiao Sanmei threw away the handrail in panic and flew out, hugged Pierce tightly, and slammed heavily on the rail with her body sideways.
Excruciating pain!
She hugged Pierce wetly, the sudden sharp pain made her tremble all over, but she managed not to groan.
"Master, Gu Suo! The president has extraordinary talents, and can walk on the ground in the wind and waves, but you can't! The Future and the New Code need you to command them to defeat the enemy. If you fall off the ship..."
"Check the cable!"
Before Sanmei Xiao could finish speaking, Pierce had already jumped up and turned over, fastened the rope firmly around Sanmei Xiao's waist, and tied three slipknots in a row.
"Everyone check the wires, the rudder is more stable, get the wind back, get the wind back!"
He hurriedly tied the rope on himself, and opened his big hands to feel the direction of the wind.
"Five degrees to starboard, lower the foremast, turn the schooner, look for the firing angle of the gun port, and return fire by yourself!"
The Future finally waited for the first precise instruction since the start of the war. The sailors had their direction, and even the shouting became powerful.
"Green, tell me the location of the enemy ship!"
"The two ships are in a double-team situation. The left ship is northwest and west, at nine o'clock, the distance is 300, and the relative distance is 10 knots. The right ship is northeast and north, at one o'clock, the distance is 420, and the relative distance is 7 knots!"
"Sail cables!"
"60% recovery from wind, speed 5.5, wind direction northwest north, ask if you want to raise the foremast sail!"
"Forget the foremast!"
The head-on wave finally regained Pierce's state, and regained the ten-year-old flagship hunter who participated in the Cantabrian naval battle, and was carefully raised by elites such as Lorraine, Bell, Keren, and Yacharin for eight years. The Drake II purpose status.
"Straight-line assault tactics! The bow gun is ready, and the target is the left ship. Everyone confirms the state of the fastening cables, and opens the wing sails!"
"Open your wings!"
Shouting at the same time, the sailors, who were almost tying themselves to the yard, let go of the tightest knot on their bodies, stood up on the swaying pole, and pushed the furled yard of the yard with all their strength. out!
Mainsail wide open!
Drake's cutting-edge ship has massive wingsails that nearly double the size of the mainsail and mizzen when fully extended. In the case of a sidewind, the speed can be increased by 50% in the blink of an eye.
Future trembled violently!
Her sharp bow was raised high, and the whole ship was swayed by the wind and rushed to the top of the waves.
10 knots!
She completed the acceleration from 6 knots to 10 knots in just 35 seconds, and the Portuguese sailors could hardly believe their eyes with the Crusader in her path.
"God, what did I see? That sailboat flying..."
"The distance is 180! 160! 140..." Miss Green was forced to put on goggles, and the strong wind blew away her high-pitched voice, leaving only a vague point in Pierce's ears, "The starboard side was bombed! Distance 270, full!"
"No evasion!" Pierce gritted his teeth, "An alert for bombing, the crew is in place!"
Boom boom boom!
The rain of bullets poured down from the sky, and the Future seemed to pierce into the sea of bullets unconsciously, shaking violently among the splashes and wild waves.
The god of luck favored this group of young brave men. They broke through the water mist unscathed, leaving only 60 meters away from the Crusader.
"Enemy ship collision! Avoid!"
There was a shrill scream on the Crusader, and the whole ship was cutting sides in a hurry, and no one noticed the two thick eyebrows like deep, solitary gun ports on the bow of the Future.
Tier 5 ships are equipped with 32-pounder mortars, which have become the standard equipment for cutting-edge ships. The range of this gun is 150 meters, and the best effective distance is 50 meters. It is a real hand-to-hand weapon in naval battles.
"Distance 60, 50, 40..."
"The bow gun is fired, the starboard rudder is cut ten degrees, and the port side is ready for shelling, let it go!"
boom! boom!
The world-shocking thunder suddenly appeared on the rough sea, one sound, another sound.
There is no practical concept of the thirty-two-pounder gun in the merchant ship battle. The sixteen-pound solid iron bullet flew high, shining a dazzling red light, and penetrated into the side stern of the Crusader like a bamboo. can do anything.
Two hits!
At a distance of less than 40 meters, two bow guns hit one after another.
The first shot hit the poop, and a large piece of guardrails and balcony decks flew all over the sky, revealing the darkened poop cabin.
The second shot directly hit the hull, entered from the right rear of the third floor, and pierced through the left front of the fifth floor, smashing the entire stern cabin into a pair.
Thick smoke and flames sprayed out from the gap, and the fire extinguishing signal spread all over the deck, and even the Mirai could clearly recognize it.
But the combo of the Future was not over yet. It advanced in a straight line and approached for a direct attack. The opponent who thought it was about to be hit straightened its hull, leaving the Future with ample and generous space to cut sides.
The helmsman turned the handwheel, and the Future immediately cut sideways to the right, the sail lost wind, and the ship's speed dropped sharply, creating a stable shooting environment for the saturated shelling on the port side.
The distance is 22 meters, cut the side!
The Future cut back from the smoky side of the Crusader, port to starboard, ready for unprepared.
"The upper layer has chains and loose crosses, the lower layer is solidly loaded, the firing angle is four degrees, straight forward, and all the gun ports are available! According to the second plan, the order is full, release!"
boom! boom! boom! boom!
Plan No. 2 is a standard saturated shooting plan independently constructed by Yachalin, also known as "Let the ladies feel fresh all night". Go to the third... until the end, then turn to the second gun, go to the second, and so on.
This scheme is suitable for side-cutting operations at excellent speeds.
Because under such conditions, Drake's ships have the advantage of catching up from behind, and the firing of odd-numbered gun positions will be completely concentrated on the middle and rear of the enemy ship, which can target the enemy's mainmast, mizzenmast, rudder position, command and rear hull. cause major damage.
By the time of the second round of even-numbered bombardment, Drake's ship had come from behind and launched continuous attacks in the parallel ship position. The firepower of the gun bay was used to block the enemy's main guns from returning, and the upper deck shotguns focused on killing deck personnel.
This was a theoretically optimistic calculation, but under the high cooperation of the Crusader and the unique dogmatic style of the special service formation, the plan unexpectedly exploded with unimaginable huge effects.
10 18-pound guns plus 6 12-pound guns, 16 shells hit a total of 14 hits, nine of which were direct hits.
Four solid projectiles hit the rear third of the hull, tearing a huge gap two meters wide from the deck to the waterline.
A chain bullet entangled the mizzen mast, and the mizzen fell, and one swept through the poop, sweeping the captain and second officer of the Crusader into debris.
At least three shotguns swept across the center foredeck, causing countless casualties, with limbs and flesh everywhere.
The Crusader completely lost the ability to continue the battle in a face-to-face meeting. She floated helplessly on the sea, and the flames raged on the entire ship.
Pierce and his crew stared blankly at their results and couldn't help swallowing.
"When you go back, you must tell Yazha that the lady may not be able to stand the novelty all night, at least the one we met...was spoiled."
