Reborn As a Pirate

Order Storm Petrel to pay attention to the ship's distance! She drilled too deep!

The Grey hit directly on the face, the Brigantine's mainmast broke, and the victory was divided!

The saunder was pinched, tell her to retreat... direct attack! Report! The saunder was directly hit by a shotgun, causing heavy casualties!

Katerina's brows twitched heavily: Who is near the Saunders?

The White Pelican and the Hydrangea are both nearby. The White Pelican is 600 northeast, across from Brigantine 1, and Skuner 2. The Hydrangea is 330 southeast, across from Brigantine 2.

Hydrangeas can't get rid of their opponents in a short time... Katerina pondered for a moment, Let the white pelicans disperse the opponents, rescue the Saunders, and bring the Saunders back to the main battle.

yes!

The sailor was ordered to run away quickly, and Katerina turned her head to look at the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke.

It's really... too many ants kill elephants.

The battle for the main battle officially kicked off from the moment the Skull Bay United Fleet appeared.

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

The job of a pirate ship is to plunder.

In the face of merchant ships, pirate ships need to be flexible, high-speed, fast to board and seize the ship, and keep their prey intact as much as possible.

Because in terms of value, the merchant ship itself is often more valuable than the goods on board.

Therefore, in the selection and modification of pirate ships, pirates are more inclined to pursue speed and balance, even big pirates like Blackbeard are no exception.

He pursues heavy firepower, one is because of the development trend of pirate warfare, and the other is because his scale has already jumped out of the traditional art of pirates, and he has begun to chase after the great word power.

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

Except for the five-tier Galen that is entangled in the distance like a dragon, the remaining 24 ships are led by two 40-meter-class Baggs, 14 Brigantines, and 10 high-speed Skuners, neither focusing on the sea. The Brig ship for artillery battles, and the Sloop ship that did not overly weaken the combat effectiveness of a single ship.

Their ships are mainly nine-pound and six-pound, with only a small number of twelve-pound ships on the Barger.

This gives the direct fleet, which is dominated by Brig ships and has a more elite crew, an absolute advantage in one-on-one battles.

But large ships and heavy artillery have never been invincible on the ocean. Lorraine gave a perfect answer to this point as early as in Cantabrian.

In one-on-one battles, the pirates may be far from the opponents of the ships directly under them, but they have three to four times the numerical advantage. As long as they implement the tactics of entanglement and boarding, the Drakes will not be able to easily win or lose.

They must be vigilant at all times, beware of pirates' forced boarding, beware of sudden board cutting and high-throwing projectiles. Any negligence will lead to irreparable and heavy losses, and the careless Saunders is the best negative teaching material.

At the time she was fighting four against two Brigantines and two Skuners. And as her supporting unit, the Storm Petrel was at a position less than 500 meters southeast of her, one against three.

This is a very healthy ship distance for a circular array that is naturally defensive. Both ships can concentrate their attention on one side, and any attempt by the opponent to cut to the other side will throw him into the most suitable shelling distance of the two Brigs at the same time.

But just over half an hour after the start of the war, Storm Haiyan was on fire.

She lost her support position, chased her opponent farther and farther, and suddenly increased the distance between herself and the Saunders to more than 1,000, and the Saunders knew nothing about it.

A Brigantine cut the ship from the port side, jumped to the black-billed gull's defensive blind spot, and threw three shotguns onto the sagittarius' deck at the same time with a beautiful high throw.

The exact number of casualties could not be estimated.

Including the captain and most of the sailors, at least 70 people gathered on the Saunders' deck when they were shot. A storm of iron slag and fragments swept across the entire rear deck, and the Saunders lost its combat capability in an instant.

Fortunately, the White Pelican exceeded Katrina's expectations.

After receiving the rescue order, the white pelican resolutely launched an assault in the opposite direction of the Saunders at the first time.

This action was completely unexpected by the opponent. The Skuna ship in front of the White Pelican was unable to dodge in time, and was directly hit by the 12-pound bow gun at a distance of 50 meters, and the bow of the ship was shattered with one shot.

The Skuna ship was broken, and the white pelican completed a series of processes such as mending sails, turning, and accelerating during the assault, and plunged straight into Brigantine who was entangled with him.

The two ships crossed in the middle of the sea, exchanging a round of saturated bombardment at a distance of 100 meters.

The white pelican's hull was hit in two places, and at the same time, it also covered the opponent's face with its own shotgun and chain bullets.

Brigantine stalled due to a broken foremast, and the minimally invasive White Pelican forced the last opponent away, drawing a wide arc to the center line of Saunders and her opponents.

Five minutes later, the Saunders barely escaped the boarding, and under the cover of the White Pelican and the Hydrangea, they wobbled towards the main formation.

The perfect rescue... Katerina admired the fighting white pelican, What's the name of her captain?

Favna Hanji. The staff officer clattered through the seaman's files, The second daughter of Mr. Hanji, a Pennsylvania farmer, is the fourth generation pioneer of the New World. Her uncle is the Pennsylvania trade manager of the Caribbean Branch. She paid for it in 1978. Entered the intermediate school, transferred to the command department of the senior school in 1981, graduated as the second in the grade in 1984, and was assigned to the White Pelican as the second officer. At the beginning of the year, the captain was released, and then he was promoted to captain.

Katerina was stunned for a while: Captain Hanji... a woman?

It's not surprising that Katerina felt strange about this.

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

But the atmosphere of the society is there after all, and there are few women in the industry, and most of them yearn for clerical jobs on land.

There is also the issue of gender orientation in chamber schools. Women's courses in primary and secondary schools are mainly social and trade, and they enter the workforce through school routes, and their future is basically limited to land.

But Captain Han Ji actually graduated from the Advanced Command Department...

Katerina took the file from the staff officer and flipped through it.

In the same period, the intermediate school ranked ninth in marketing, and social... forty-fourth. Favna Hanji's majors were very bad, but she herself chose shipping and commanding, ranking second and first in the same period respectively.

There is her own application on the file, and the chartered signature below is Carmen Xavier, that is to say, it was Carmen who chartered her to be promoted to the Advanced Command Section, and thus cultivated perhaps the first person produced by the Drake Chamber of Commerce. female captain.

It's the first time I know that the students of the school are also part of the assets of the general association... Katerina muttered, and put aside the file, After the battle, let this high-quality asset come to see me. Also, the Grey's How's the situation?

It's like a bullfight in the Madrid Arena, surrounded by matadors and their assistants. The staff officer looked to the southwest with concern, A pair of eight, Gray couldn't control his position, and he was pulled three kilometers away , will soon be out of our sight.”

This is also expected... Katerina rubbed her swollen brows, Where is Captain Ericsson?

In the hold, his two lieutenants went to the Puffin and the Skua respectively.

It seems that he is also ready... Katerina thought for a while, How about the Saunders' casualties?

The injury was severe, but fortunately the command system is basically intact, only the third officer and the sailor commander died in battle.

Has the wounded been moved?

It has been transferred to the bilge of the Alvette.

Replenish them with 20 men immediately. Tell the captain that he has no time to repair, and go to support the Grey immediately after the men are replenished.

The staff officer was stunned: Admiral, their deck is covered in blood, even if morale is not considered, it is so slippery that even running is...

That's their problem. Katerina looked at the staff officer with dissatisfaction, You must use compassion in the right place, sir. This is the battlefield, and the Alvette is already the most dangerous place on the battlefield!

Dangerous? How could the Yarvette be...

The Erickson is moving! The lookout's police instruction interrupted the staff's question, The Erickson launched an assault on the ship at a speed of six knots, compared to three knots. The storm Haiyan was forced to retreat. Erikson The companion ships are being assembled, and they are expected to arrive in 15 minutes!

The staff officer turned pale with shock: Admiral, the closest to us is the White Pelican, I will let her return to the front right away!

Let Captain Hanji guerrilla outside.

Huh?

All ships on the outside line, guerrilla approach the Grey, and kill the enemy in front of you as much as possible. Katerina looked at her young staff officer, You go to the Sagittarius to convey this order. During the battle of Yarvette, the outside line command Delegate the Gray and do it immediately.

Yes Yes!
