0457 Spear and Shield

emmmmm, does not affect the ship's posture...

In fact, since Adere reposted Yacharin's reaction, Lorraine knew that maintaining the ship's posture and direct attack on the Huanglong had become a luxury between delusion and fantasy.

After all, the human species has air troughs.

It doesn't matter whether the reason is sufficient, whether the choice is reasonable, or whether the behavior is effective, the Blackbeard Pirates attempt to cut off Valkyri's windward state. This attempt itself is the biggest provocation to a hand on the ship.

The result of the provocation is right in front of you.

The smoke of gunpowder hundreds of meters away was filled with smoke. The unlucky lone passenger may not be able to distinguish the mixed gunshots from the dense cannons, but Lorraine would definitely not miss such obvious differences on the Valkyrie.

Yacharin got into a pocket, and the lone passenger came in obediently. He was bombarded by seven gates and thirty-two pounds in parallel at 80 meters, and shot three of seven guns, and twice direct attacks.

The first time I shot directly in the cannon cabin, the second to fourth cannon doors flew away, the flames soared into the sky, the remains of the ground, the ribs of the ship and the pillars were broken.

But according to Lorraine's experience, the amount of ammunition reserved by pirates should not be enough to cause a large-scale death.

The key was the second direct attack, and the projectile broke through the middle and rear section of the lone passenger, and then penetrated at least two layers of inner cabins.

According to the cabin structure of the 1770 French destroyer, the landing point of the shell is approximately below the gun cabin, the mezzanine above the waterline, and the longitudinal line is located in the middle line of the deck.

In other words, it is the best place to set up the main ammunition pod.

The lone guest started her final journey in the most tragic way. The thunderous roar lasted for more than a minute, and the broken limbs and body sprinkled a hundred meters in a radius.

The explosion of air waves set off a tsunami, holding the small Valkyrie and rushing out more than two hundred meters.

The stern building was cracked into dozens of pieces, and the largest flying house rose to about ten meters high. It then turned and smashed back to the skeleton, and completed the last blow to the keel with a roar.

Valkyrie withdrew from the rushing state without any suspense. The sailors, who were lying on their backs, stood up with their teeth baring, and before they could stand firm, they heard Lorraine shouting.

"The deck is in place, the sail is in place! A comprehensive inspection of the condition of the rudder and keel, and each unit counts personnel to report casualties!"

"The cannons are in place, and the left and right sides of the side will drive the shooting! Idle personnel go to the restaurant to get guns, and the entire ship is ready to go to the side of the ship!"

"Relieve the fixation of the longitudinal sail, remove the wing sail cable, cross sail half sail, right rudder ten degrees of wind cutting!"

"Gentlemen, ladies, don't forget that the war is far from over. You only have 30 seconds to get Valkyrie back on the move!"

"If you don't want to die in this sea... the target Golden Shackles, turn, break through!"

...

"Break through!!! Break through through through through through through through through through 5 degrees left rudder, dispersing both sides... Why didn't the damn sail adjust? We are against the wind, do you understand against the wind? Without instructions, will you make your own judgment? I must complain to the Personnel Department for the money interview..."

"The bow of the ship was bounced!" the lookout screamed.

"We are going to be blown to death! We are all over the right side and the right side! Avoid! Hiding! Avoid!"

"Where is my cannon!"

"Go and ask him why we haven't fired? Is his guns a decoration? Did we forget to bring gunpowder when we go out? Do he plan to save the funeral and fire? Is he worthy of the guns!"

"I want to hear the cannon sound, for 15 seconds, and I don't want to hear any excuses before that! I don't care what method he uses, as long as the damn pirate in front of me sinks into the corpse, if he can't do it, I will go to the Human Resources Office to complain..."

"Fire the gun!" The gunner yelled.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The Alvet was very lively, with 80% of the noise coming from Captain Arthur Franc, who was known as the static gentleman on the ship.

He was born in the Butterfly Flower, from short-term sailors to long-term chefs, and became the second sailor leader in the Jindeer era, and became the second sailor and the second second deputy during the Jackdaw and Dao Marking period. Until he stepped on the position of the deputy admiral captain of the direct fleet, he was an inspirational model of the direct fleet and a sailor idol.

But his temper was really bad. Especially in wartime, he was irritable, irritable, long-winded, and chattering.

Although that would not affect his timely and accurate issuance of combat orders, he still had the unique skill of complaining, which could be called the whip of justice directly under the fleet.

The war time of the Alvet is the trash talk time exclusively for Captain Frane. All the sailors can do is to endure, while Katerina habitually chooses to ignore it.

The main battlefield entered the fierce battle stage. All warships, including the Alvet team, formed four major battle groups with Galen destroyers as the core, and each battle group struggled to fight against most enemies.

Valkyrie is an alternative to the sailing age.

This sentence is not just about describing her ship shape, but more about her combat state.

The biggest feature of naval battles in the sail era, especially in the late 18th century, was the stalemate and inefficiency.

The hull and cannon are like sailors' spears and shields, which are constantly escalating in the confrontation. To this day, the shield has long left the spear behind.

In the same level configuration, 32 pounds of breaking through the first-class hull requires less than 500 meters, hitting three shots at the same position, and breaking through the third level is two shots.

Twenty-four-pound breakdown of the fourth-class ship is 300 meters two rounds, eighteen-pound breakdown of the fifth-class ship is 100 meters three rounds, and two rounds are required to breakdown of the sixth-class warship Brig type.

Judging from the data, this seems to be a normal ratio, but the world's best French artillery hits less than 5% in naval battles, and the average hit rate of the great powers is less than 3%.

The average expansion distance of the battle line is 1,500 meters, the average combat distance of the battleship is 500 meters, and the customary distance of the destroyer is 300 meters.

When these data are combined, the outcome of the spear and shield becomes obvious.

Statistics show that based on the changes in maritime power in the five countries of Britain, France, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands in the past 50 years, nearly 50% of the losses of warships came from accidents, and the other 50% were basically captured by the fleet's two unconventional combat modes, with only a handful of winners and losses on a single ship.

How to penetrate enemy armor is the biggest issue that the navy of this era has to face, but I don’t know how to face.

The direct fleet is definitely much better in the battlefield of the current navy than the current navy.

Their opponents are mainly Brigentina, which has weak defense and the Bagge type, which has a larger ship type, but is completely different from Brigentina.

This means that they don’t have to worry that their artillery will not cause damage to the enemy, nor do they have to fear that the enemy’s artillery will destroy them. They just need to be careful of the number of enemies and beware of enough to kill their boarding state.

The only exception is the Alvet number.

The Alvet is a 1780 Bermuda 40-gate high-speed destroyer designed and manufactured by Drake Maritime Group, while her enemy is the Eriksen of Bonnet, a classic 1770 French 44-gate destroyer.

The two ships are basically at the same offensive and defensive level. If you have to talk about subtle differences, the Alvet is faster and more flexible, while the Eriksen is thicker, heavier, and has relatively stronger firepower.

In addition, the Alvet has two marching ships, both of which are the 26-door Bermuda Expressway Brig Puffin and the Skua.

Bonett gathered five marshals all the way to cooperate with the attack, three were classic Brigentine with 20 doors, and two were Mianfan Skuna ships with basically negligible firepower.

Katerina clearly realized that the Alvet team could not defeat the opponent in medium- and long-distance artillery battles. If she delayed waiting for the other three teams to decide the outcome, it would easily lead to serious reductions in the direct fleet.

The best way now is to use Delici to lure Bonett into the boarding board according to the established plan, and before that, Katerina needs to trim the excess branches and leaves.

She looked up at the battle situation.

Alvet was urging by Captain Frane to sway slowly on the Eriksen. Between the two Brigentinas and one Skua ship, the skua was 500 meters away, and the puffin and the remaining Skua did not participate in the war, and each hid in the shadow of the flagships of both sides.

Captain Frane's command was very steady, but to open up the situation, he needed to work harder and more radical.

"Are you going to take a risk..."

Before Katerina could come up with it, the rolling thunder suddenly exploded from the south of the battlefield, awakening her from thinking in the blink of an eye.

Katerina looked at the heavy black smoke rolling up in the sky in another place and shouted anxiously.

"Immediately inform Valkyri's current situation!"

"Yes, Ms. Dibo!" The lookout hand pulled his neck and responded, "Valkyrie approached in the first round and destroyed the enemy's fifth-level Galen lone guest number!"

"destroy?"

"It has been clearly destroyed! The lone passenger number sinks rapidly, and the thunder sound just now was a death blow!"

"It's not long before the fight..." Katerina murmured to herself, "It's like a joke to play steadily. The other side of the sea is the boss, not Bell Judia."

She raised her head: "Order! Alvet supports the skuo and the Puffin is supported from the side. She told Captain Frane that he has only 5 minutes to prepare. If he can't do it, I will go to the Personnel Office to complain to him."
Chapter completed!
