0586 Stupid
On the afternoon of July 3, 1786, the pirate war in the nameless triangular waters between Andros Island, the Exuma Islands and Cuba Islands was called the "Hamlet War" by the later pirates.
Compared with the so-called wars in the mainstream world, Hamlet is not large in scale. The two camps in all directions have only 12 battles, with offense and defense comparing 10 to 2, and gun gate comparing 328 to 100.
Its specifications are not high. Except for Valkyrie standing out at the top of the patrol ship class, other ships are standard five or even six.
But this war is still stubbornly called "war" rather than "naval war". The reason is naturally because of the identity of the participants, as well as the form and purpose of the war.
First of all, his participation in the war is quite high, including the Supreme Pirate King "White Banner" Lorraine and the flagship Valkyrie; the Pirate King "Black Prince" Bellamy and the flagship Vader; the Second Fleet of Pirate King "Hunter" Henry; the Pirate King candidate for the most powerful evil supernova "Bigger" Ginny and his nutria pirate group.
Secondly, this is the first time since the Golden Age that the Pirate Empire has challenged another Pirate King with a combination of supernova and Pirate King squadrons. It is also the first time that the Pirate King has been put on black coupons. It is also the first time that the non-Alliance King has intervened in the battle between the two kings without announcement.
The Hamlet War had an incalculable destructive impact on the order that had been maintained by the pirate empire for a hundred years. This alone is of far superior to another key war in the contemporary era, the Battle of Bastel.
But what is ridiculous is that [meaning] is not the main reason why this war is remembered by the pirates, nor is it the reason why it is secondary or even re-needed.
The pirates who live in the world are the least concerned about reflection. The reason why they praise Hamlet is just because the survivors portray this war as a textbook for pirate warfare is that even a hundred years later, evil will continue to benefit from legends.
At 5 pm, the sun is setting, the sky is burning, and the sea is burning.
The battle at sea has lasted for two hours.
In the north of the battlefield, Valkyrie easily tore the Havana Victory like a king parade, paralyzed the Shazui Sea Cucumber, scared away the Crystal Mountain Coffee, and left the Virgin Cigar with nowhere to escape.
There is a desperate chasm of strength between the Supreme Pirate King and the strongest supernova.
The nutria Ginny was rushing towards hell in a running posture. On the other hand, Lorraine still didn't think about adjusting Valkyri's combat readiness level to level one. Even the current level two seems to be a little redundant...
The style of paintings in the southern waters of the battlefield is completely different.
The Vader completed a tragic exchange for small for large in the first breakthrough.
The Brig-type foremast was broken in the enemy formation, and it took an entire hour to restore 70% of its original movement.
The bow of the Vida was directly attacked, the bow deck was broken, Bellamy's left eye was seriously injured, and the second deputy and the navigator both disappeared.
It is simply that Bellamy's navigator is closer to the intercourse between the navigator and the navigator staff in terms of function. If the main helmsman is missing, this round of change may become increasingly difficult to tell the success or failure.
After bandaging her, Bellamy led her Vader to launch a counterattack of life in death.
On the vast sea, the Vida rose from the two ships' attacks, and quickly turned the head of the ship with a large range of rotation, trying hard to maintain a speed of 4 knots, and cut in and counterattack from the edge of the battlefield.
The formation of the Hounds was extremely bad. The plan that the three ships in the plan became rigid due to the loss of Brig's maneuver power. If you want to put aside the injured ship and regroup, the Vader pressed step by step, so that the two ships could not get space to merge.
Brig became a buoy, and in Vader's world-class driving skills, he was forced to become an obstacle to the center of the battlefield, turning into a screen wall that blocked the shelling on the other side.
60 to 140 meters!
The Vader was surrounded by a circle, like a cobra with an open wing, swaying and squeezing the space that was moving toward the mobile phone. The battleships of the Hounds could not raise their speed, and could only tighten and tighter in the process of facing the enemy, almost tripping into a ball by Brig in the middle.
The ships were only more than ten meters away, and this insignificant distance made the three ships as bulky and eye-catching as floating islands on the sea. Even the shelling like the Vida, which could not reach the table, began to pose a threat, pouring firepower to the opponent at a rhythm of three to five minutes.
"The port side is bounced! Avoid! Open fire!"
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
The shells flew out from the gun doors of both sides, and crossed through similar straight lines and different arcs.
Around the Vader, a splash of steam was blooming, and her counterattack also landed on the sea, one hit the side of the stern of Galen in front, and the other side passed to the front, backward, and far on the middle deck of Brig.
"Two shots, Brig hits straight!"
Hearing the lookout's shout, the gunner who threw the high throw turned around and high-high high with his companions excitedly.
Bellamy saw the joy of the whole ship, and the snap sounded particularly harsh.
The eyes hurt...
The wooden thorns that pierced the eye sockets were taken out together with the eyeballs. Now they were filled with medicinal paste popular in Indians. They were mixed with some unknown dried grass, crispy charcoal and wine, stirred, and wrapped with layers of bandages on the outside.
The ship doctor on the ship can only do this to stop bleeding and prevent ulceration, but there are many extravagances that do not need to be found, anyway, they are all fantasies that cannot be realized.
Bellamy is in this state now. The boundary of the new vision is much narrower than the original one, dyed with a faint red color, and more importantly, the pain is the pain. Waves of pain wash over his head, tearing his reason, and trying to drive him crazy.
But he can't really go crazy!
With Bastian's exquisite steering, the Vader completely occupied the advantage of the battlefield, using wind and waves, Valkyrie in the distance and Brig, who was paralyzed near, to achieve a one-on-three siege.
In the current situation, Vader is like a clown dancing on a wire rope. He may look gorgeous and calm, but as long as the rope breaks, no matter how good the skills are, he will inevitably fall into the abyss.
And the rope was about to break...
The battle has been going on for almost an hour since the first spiral.
There was no obvious abnormality in Brig's sail cable. Once she recovered her ability to move, the entangled thread would be untied, and the two Galens, who had been tripped by her, would soon gain freedom.
They will free themselves from the constraints and use the advantages of the width and quantity of the sea to launch a new attack on the Vader, lingering and fighting, and their souls will never fade away!
"I'm really... unwilling to give up!"
Bellamy gritted her teeth and stood up with shaking support to Rumba.
"Bastian is very awesome..." he said softly, "Vida is just an ordinary Galen ship, but Bastian can make her cut out 4 knots against the wind. It can be said that it depends entirely on his skills. I can drag you to chase your self-esteem like now."
"It's a pity... if we had half of the Valkyrie... maybe 1/3 of the shelling strength..."
"17 rounds of artillery bombardment, more than 300 shells. 2 direct strikes, 6 bruises, no sinking, no heavy damage. This is our real strength under high-speed movement."
"I will not complain about why God has not favored us. Apart from the White Banner and the Black Baron, I have never seen a pirate group that is good at shelling. It's just... the chance of victory is indeed far away from us."
"It's time to throw away the meaningless fantasy!" He clenched his fists, "Before the puppies have not yet expanded their formation, we should keep a distance and leave enough space for Bastian to maneuver."
"We should run along the wind. Although it is impossible to get rid of the puppies' pursuit, as long as we live hard and make a move..."
"Then you just give the order."
A cold sound suddenly came from his feet, interrupting Bellamy's monologue like an ice skate.
Bastian stood on the rudder and looked up at him. His topaz eyes didn't have much radiance, but they were enough to express his opinions clearly, [If you dare to say it, I will do it].
Bellamy's wound hurts again.
He wanted to defend himself, but Bastian did not let him defend himself.
Bastian twirled the handwheel and said while twirling, "Just you said, giving up is the best way. As long as there is distance, I have the confidence to take everyone to Xingmingxing Rise."
"For three or four hours, even if the white flag is slow, he should deal with the nutria and open up a road for us like a hero."
"Bastian!" Rumba, who looked innocent, burst into anger, "Pay attention to the tone of your speaking to the captain!"
"Then pay attention to the tone of your speaking to the flagship helmsman first." Bastian glanced at Rumba, "The deputy commander has rebelled. It seems that I am the second-ranked cadre in the regiment, not the commander of the Charge Corps."
Lumba couldn't speak for a moment, and her round face turned red.
Bellamy gently pressed Rumba's shoulder and took a small step forward: "Bastian, time is limited, just say whatever you want."
"Can't you guess what I want to say?" Bastian smiled. "Escape is the best option, but when did a fool like you choose a good option?"
"The first war of association, Pavlomu invited you, but you refused. The second time, Edward invited you, but you refused. Jack invited you, but you refused."
"I tell you that Barinto is going to betray you. You have been killing traitors for four days, but what about you? You just boarded the Vader and took away those who were willing to follow you, but left the long-running lair to the guys who betrayed you."
"We have been used to it. We have been used to it. Whether alive or dead, alive or missing, we have been used to your stupidity."
"Don't hypocritically consider the best choice, it's not suitable for you. Tell us what exactly you want to do? It's just a life, and we can afford it."
Bellamy stared blankly at Bastian, his helmsman, who has worked with him for 10 years and has always won the trust of pirates under his command for his inhumane and extraordinary skills.
The eyes hurt again...
"I will really die?"
"It's very interesting, isn't it?"
"Does everyone think so?"
"People who don't think so probably stay on Elephant Trunk Island."
