"Order Storm Haiyan to pay attention to the distance of the ship! She was drilling too deep!"

"The Grey's head-on strikes in front of him, and the mainmast of Brigentine broke, and the winner is decided!"

"The Black-Bowled Gull was pinched, let her retreat... direct attack! Report! The Black-Bowled Gull was shot directly by a shotgun, with heavy casualties!"

Katerina's brow jumped heavily: "Who is near the Black-billed Gull?"

"The White Pelicans and Hydrangea are both nearby. The White Pelicans are 600 in the northeast, opposite Brigentina 1, Skuna 2. The Hydrangea is 330 in the southeast, opposite Brigentina 2."

"Hydrangea can't get rid of the opponent in a short time..." Katerina pondered for a moment, "Let the White Pelicans disperse and face it, rescue the Black-billed Gull, and bring the Black-billed Gull back to the main formation."

"yes!"

The mailing sailors ran away quickly, Katerina turned her head and looked at the battlefield filled with smoke.

"It's really... the ants bite the elephant to death."

The battle of the main formation officially kicked off the moment the Skeleton Bay United Fleet appeared.

Drake's direct fleet has an advantage in details due to its advantages in combat power in a single ship, but due to its lack of quantity, it is at a disadvantage in the overall situation, and it is everywhere with fewer enemies.

The pirate ship's job is to plunder.

When facing merchant ships, pirate ships need to be flexible, high-speed, fast to catch the ship, and keep the prey intact as much as possible.

Because in terms of value, merchant ships themselves are often more valuable than the goods on the ship.

Therefore, in terms of choice and modification of pirate ships, pirates tend to pursue speed and balance, even big pirates like Blackbeard are no exception.

He pursued heavy firepower, one because of the development trend of pirate wars, and two because his scale had long since broken out of the traditional pirate skills and began to pursue the great word "force".

The Skeleton Bay Combined Fleet fully reflects the situation of pirates.

Except for the five-class Galen, which was located in the distance like a dragon, the remaining 24 ships were led by two 40-meter Bags, 14 Brigentinas, and 10 high-speed Skunas. There was neither the Brig ship that focused on naval artillery battles, nor the Sloop ship that overly weakened the combat effectiveness of a single ship.

Their ships were mainly nine and six pounds, and only the Bagh ship was equipped with a small amount of twelve pounds.

This gives the direct fleet, which is mainly Brigship and has a more elite crew qualities, an absolute advantage in one-on-one battles.

But large ships and heavy artillery have never been invincible in the ocean. Lorraine has given a full-scoring answer to this point long ago in Cantabrian.

In a one-on-one battle, the pirates may be far from being the opponent of the direct ships, but they have three to four times the numerical advantage. As long as they implement the tactics of entanglement and mounts, the Drakes cannot easily tell the outcome.

They must always be vigilant, beware of pirates' forced platoons, beware of sudden cuts and high-spraying splash bullets. Any negligence will lead to irreparable heavy losses. The careless Black-billed Gun is the best negative teaching material.

At that time, she was fighting against four with one, including two Brigentine and two Skuna ships. As her support unit, the Storm Seagull fought against three less than 500 in the southeast of her.

This is a very healthy ship distance for a circular array that is born with defensive attributes. Both ships can focus their attention on a single side, and any opponent's attempt to cut the other side will throw themselves into the most suitable bombardment distance for the two Brigs at the same time.

But the war started just over half an hour before Storm Haiyan got excited.

She lost her support position and chased her opponent and ran farther and farther away. She suddenly widened the distance between herself and the Black-billed Gull to more than 1,000, and the Black-billed Gull knew nothing about all this.

A Brigentine cut the port from the port and jumped to the black-billed Gull's guarding corner, and used a beautiful high throw to throw three shots onto the Black-billed Gull's deck at the same time.

It is impossible to estimate specific casualties.

Including the captain and most of the seamen, at least 70 people gathered on the deck of Black-billed Gull when it was shot. A storm of iron slag and fragments swept across the entire rear deck. The Black-billed Gull instantly lost its combat capability.

Fortunately, the White Pelican exceeded Katerina's expectations.

After receiving the rescue order, the White Pelican immediately launched a resolute attack in the opposite direction of the Black-billed Gull.

This action completely unexpectedly happened to the opponent's expectations. The Skuna ship in front of the White Pelican could not retreat and was directly hit by a 12-pound bow cannon at a distance of 50 meters, shattering the bow with one shot.

Skuna's ship broke through, and the White Pelicans completed a series of processes such as sail replenishment, steering, and acceleration during the assault, and penetrated straight into Brigentina, which was entangled.

The two ships intersected in the middle of the sea, exchanging a round of saturated artillery bombardment between 100 meters.

The White Pelican was bombed in two parts of the hull, and at the same time, it also filled the opponent's face with its own shotgun and chain bullets.

Brigentina stalled due to a break in the bow mast. The minimally invasive White Pelicans forced their last opponent away and drew a large arc to attack the center line between Black-billed Gull and her opponents.

Five minutes later, the Black-billed Gull barely escaped the boarding and swung towards the main formation under the cover of the White Pelican and Hydrangea.

"What is the perfect support..." Katerina admired the fighting White Pelicans, "What is her captain's name?"

"Fafuna Hanji." The staff officer flipped the seaman's file, "The second daughter of Mr. Hanji, the owner of Pennsylvania, is the fourth generation pioneer of the New World. Her uncle is the Pennsylvania trade manager of the Caribbean Chapter. She entered the intermediate school at her own expense in 1978, transferred to the command department of the senior school in 1981, and graduated as the second grade in 1984. She was assigned to the second deputy of the White Pelican. At the beginning of the year, the captain was released and then promoted to the captain."

Katerina was stunned for a while: "Captain Hanji...female?"

It's not the fault of Katerina that I feel strange about this.

The Drake Chamber of Commerce does not discriminate too much against women because of Lorraine. For example, Katerina, who herself is the unique female admiral of the Chamber of Commerce.

But the social trend is there after all, and there are few women working, and most of them yearn for civilian jobs on land.

There is also the gender guidance issue in chambers of commerce schools. The women's courses in junior and intermediate schools are mainly social and trade. When they enter through school channels, their future is basically limited to land.

But Captain Han Ji actually graduated from the senior command department...

Katerina took the file from the staff officer and looked it up.

The second-level school ranked ninth in marketing, social... Forty-four, Fafuna Hanji's major score was very bad, but she herself took the Shipping and Command, ranking second and first in the same period respectively.

The file contains her own application, and the signature below is Carmen Xavier, which means that Carmen is a licensing her to the advanced command department, which is why she is trained to be the first female captain who may be the self-produced by the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

"For the first time, I learned that the school students were also part of the assets of the General Association..." Katerina muttered, putting aside the files, "Let this high-quality asset come to see me after the battle. Also, how is the situation of the Grey?"

"Just like the bullfighting in the Atletico de Madrid, surrounded by bullfighters and their assistants." The staff member looked to the southwest with concern, "One-on-eight, Grey could not control his position, and had been pulled three kilometers away and would soon escape from our vision."

"This is also expected..." Katerina rubbed her swelling eyebrows, "Where is Captain Erikson?"

"In the bottom cabin, his two deputy went to the Puffin and the Skua respectively."

"It seems that he is ready too..." Katerina thought for a while, "How are the Black-billed Gull's casualties?"

"26 deaths, 41 injuries, which is very tragic, but fortunately the command system is basically complete, and only the third deputy and Chief of the Si Fan died in battle."

"Has the wounded been transferred?"

"It has been transferred to the bottom cabin of the Alvet."

"Replenish 20 people for them immediately. Tell the captain that he has no time to trim, and then go to support the Grey immediately after the personnel are reorganized."

The staff officer was stunned: "Admiral, their deck is full of blood. Even if they don't consider morale, they are so slippery that they are even running..."

"That's their problem." Katerina looked at the staff officer dissatisfiedly, "Compassion should be used with the right place, sir. This is the battlefield, and the Alvet is already the most dangerous place in the battlefield!"

"Dangerous? How could the Alvet be..."

"The Erikson has moved!" The lookout police interrupted the staff's question. "The Erikson launched an assault on the ship. The speed was six knots and three knots. The Storm Seagull was forced to retreat. Erickson was gathering his brigades and was expected to approach in 15 minutes!"

The staff officer was shocked: "Admiral, the closest to us is the White Pelican, I will let her return to the team immediately!"

"Let Captain Hanji guerrilla outwards."

“Huh?”

"The ships on the outside, the guerrillas approached the Grey, and killed the enemy in front of them as much as possible." Katerina looked at her young staff officer, "You go to the Black-billed Gull to convey this order. During the Alvet battle, the outside command deported the Grey and executed it immediately."

“Yes…yes!”
Chapter completed!
