The 171st Chapter Encounters Above the Sea (2)

.

hum! This is because they came to provoke her first, but she didn't take the initiative to trouble each other! So, little Annie can prepare to start bombarding each other without any scruples.

"Quick! It's now, hang the semaphore and let them surrender immediately! Otherwise, we will fire!"

As the distance between the two sides got closer, Anne excitedly asked the sailors to raise a flag to persuade the other party to surrender. As long as the other party did not surrender, then she was ready to start playing happily. The flag was just for fun. In her opinion, the other party would definitely not surrender in this situation.

"Ah yes!"

The boatswain thinks this order is outrageous. Look, the opponent now has three warships, and they are still attacking on their own initiative, while his side only has one Dreadnought. No matter what he thinks, before there is no battle or the situation is clear, these Spaniards Surely you won't surrender

However, he didn't dare to say more, since the little witch gave the order, he obediently asked the sailors to raise a flag to persuade the enemy to surrender.

In this era of great voyages, semaphore has just begun to develop, and many specific contents cannot be expressed. However, there are generally some simple common flags: for example, the white flag hoisted when unconditional surrender, which can be used by both sea and land; Hanging up the flag of forcing the opponent to surrender and so on.

How could they run so fast against the wind

Hilton put away the binoculars, his face was a little dignified, he couldn't understand the other side's battleship, it was obviously against the wind, and it was obviously just starting to sail, why it suddenly wanted to become very fast, it was very unreasonable!

He, Hilton, is the commander of the Spanish Royal Small Squadron. His small fleet currently only has three warships. He has just finished escorting more than ten important commercial transport ships in his country. Now, they are on their way back to the Caribbean Sea. .

Since the dispute with the United Kingdom for maritime supremacy started these years, their Spanish interests have been hurt more and more seriously. Not only the damage to the fleet has weakened the sea power, but just a few years ago, those stupid bureaucrats also put Jamaica The very important strategic location of the island was ceded... Every time I think of this matter, it always makes Hilton grit his teeth and want to kill those idiots!

Over the years, their Spain has also been attacked by the British fleet. Watching the once powerful Spanish Empire weaken day by day, as a small man, he can only do the simple job of escort, and never dare not Find trouble with the British fleet on your own.

But who would have thought,

This time, on his way back to the voyage, he unexpectedly encountered a single British Dreadnought-class battleship on a remote route

When Hilton looked at the back of the opponent's huge and bloated ship through the telescope, he dared to swear to God that he was absolutely right, it was definitely a British battleship!

Those stupid British people think that if the British flag is not flying, he will not be able to see it! This is really ridiculous. It is obviously a battleship, but they dare not fly the national flag. They must be guilty and want to get away from under their noses.

"Everyone is ready, cut it up with the wind, surround it and attack it, be sure to sink it!"

Now that he managed to catch a single fat sheep, Hilton decided to make a big one! Anyway, there are few ships on this route, and no one will be left alive if they sink, and no one will know that the Spaniards did it. After many years, I finally have a chance to show the British how powerful the Spaniards are!

In any case, he has now made up his mind. Today, taking advantage of this golden opportunity, he must take it down and sink it!

"Your Excellency, the other party is flying a flag and wants us to surrender immediately..."

A sailor on the lookout from the mast gondola shouted to the commander below who stood in the bow.

The sailor even himself was a little puzzled. In this one-on-three situation, the other party dared to force surrender, which made him think that his eyes were wrong. With a scalp, he reported the latest situation to the commander below.

"What forced them to surrender? Are they idiots?"

After arranging for the sailors to prepare for battle, as the distance between the two sides gradually approached, Commander Hilton, standing at the bow, also saw the flag hanging from the top of the opponent's mast through the binoculars, implying surrender.

This made him feel unbelievable, and he even wondered if the other party had hung the wrong flag. At this time, a person with a normal mind should want to hang the white flag representing surrender.

"These bastards!"

He picked up the binoculars and took a closer look to confirm that the opponent had also opened the gun door. After preparing for the battle, Hilton finally confirmed that the opponent was not joking, nor did they fly the wrong flag. They were indeed planning to persuade their side to surrender.

At this moment, Hilton felt that he had been greatly insulted! That flag seems to be mocking the Spaniards naked!

These stupid and arrogant British, it seems that they still don't understand the situation... Now, it's all here, and they still naively think that they can defeat these three warships of their own

This is simply a big joke!

"Accelerate! Everyone, prepare to fight!"

Hilton issued an order with a dark face. This time, he will directly sink the opponent's ship!

Moreover, God testified, he swore that he would never take any captives this time! He's going to let these arrogant Brits take a good dip in the sea, so that their muddy brains can be completely cleared up

...

"Aha! They're finally here!"

Seeing the opponent getting closer, and seeing the figure on the opponent's deck almost with the naked eye, little Annie ran to a cannon excitedly and urged the gunner.

"Quick! Quick! Give me the tongs, let me fire!"

After getting the red-hot poker, she didn't even think about it, just like pointing the poker to the medicine door of the cannon fuse.

"Not yet! Respected Lady Witch! We are still far from reaching the effective range of shelling!"

The artillery commander who followed was about to collapse, so he could only explain patiently without tears.

Now that the situation is so severe, and the strength gap between the two sides is obvious, he almost has a crying tone when he speaks!

Let's see, it's a 1v3 situation now, and their situation is already very bad. If a little girl commands randomly again, I'm afraid, everyone today will die here, right? If the shelling starts at this distance now , I'm afraid they can't even hit the shadow of the opponent's ship, and those shells will fall into the sea halfway.

This little brat just wanted to waste a round of precious shots! If you really let her fire randomly, before the reloading is completed, the three warships of the opponent may have approached and started the first round of salvo.

"Ah, it's so close, the distance is not enough for you, what kind of broken cannon is this?"

Now this is obviously very close, why do you still say that the distance is not enough for them? Is this thing a cannon?

Well, in that case, she had to find a way.

Magic: Increased range!

Annie thought about it for a while, then stretched out her hand like a murmur, and suddenly cast a spell on the cannon in front of her. The cannon seemed to emit a little blue light, and then the blue light quickly spread to all on the artillery, and eventually disappeared.

"Okay! Now the attack distance should be enough! Everyone, listen to my order and fire immediately!"

After casting the spell, little Annie raised the red-hot tongs in her hand, and was about to strike the fire rope above the medicine door.

"Ah, is this really possible?"

The artillery commander stared blankly at the little witch. He was not sure what the blue light just meant. Then he looked at the artillery that seemed to have no change, gritted his teeth, and finally gave the order to fire.

"Everyone, fire!"

He doesn't want to care about it now, let these little witches do whatever they want! If you can't beat them, let these witches throw fireballs on their own. Anyway, their magic is very powerful, I hope they don't do it then!

boom! boom! boom! ...

The nearly forty cannons on the side of the Intrepid, after hearing the order, began to roar one by one!

Accompanied by bursts of thick smoke and muzzle flames, solid shells roared towards the battle line formed by the three Spanish warships.

"Haha! It really is a group of stupid British! They even fired at this distance"

Hilton put away the binoculars. He had just seen the artillery on the British battleship start to spew out fire and thick smoke. He didn't even expect that the other party launched an artillery attack on their three Spanish warships at this distance. The command of the other party The officer must be an idiot

He could already foresee that the opponent's failure would end! At the current distance, the opponent has no possibility of firing again. As for the artillery on the other side, there is definitely no chance to fire. They will never give the opponent time to turn.

"Bombardment! Shells are coming!"

When Hilton was about to laugh at each other with one of the lieutenants, the first officer of his flagship suddenly shouted, and then he stepped forward and threw Hilton down on the deck.

In the next instant, countless solid shells slammed into the fleet. Although most of them hit the sea directly, about a dozen of them hit the hulls or sails of three warships. .

The most unlucky one was the last battleship, which was hit directly by a gunpowder barrel on the deck. When the hot shell broke the wooden barrel, it also detonated the gunpowder particles full of it.

So, after a violent explosion, the stern of the ship was directly blown into a pile of tatters, and many sailors and soldiers were blown away, and the stern was directly burned, although the open flame was quickly destroyed by the sailors. It was extinguished with a bucket, but the whole ship still seemed to be billowing with thick smoke, looking extremely embarrassed.

"How is it possible that their artillery can hit so far?"

After Hilton stood up, he pushed the adjutant away at once, and stood by the fence with a disbelief on his face, looking at the No. 3 ship behind his flagship, which was emitting thick smoke.

From such a long distance, the opponent actually hit his flagship ship with two holes smashed into it, and the hull suffered moderate skin trauma.

What kind of artillery is on the other side's ship? Is it the new British ship-borne cannon? This is almost as far away as the shore defense heavy artillery, isn't this where the other side's confidence lies?

"Quick! Command the fleet, move forward at full speed! Get close to it in the shortest time!"

Hilton quickly issued what he thought was the correct order, and this time he might have been really careless! How could he have imagined that the opponent's artillery could hit so far

However, now that the opponent has already fired a round of volleys, as long as his side quickly approaches it and bites the opponent fiercely, he believes that the final victory will belong to Spain after all!

Then, after sinking the opponent, maybe you can salvage a few of the opponent's cannons for research. If you can harvest the latest British naval guns, at least you have made great contributions to the Spanish Empire, right? Medals and rewards It must be indispensable! Even, maybe you can add a few more warships to your small fleet

"Really hit it"

The artillery commander standing next to Annie looked at the distance in a daze, speechless. He never expected that their shelling would actually reach such a distance from the enemy ship that was emitting flames and thick smoke. , and also hit a lot of

This witch, what the hell did she just do to the cannon? Is it one of their strange witchcrafts like a strong wind on a sail?

"Yeah! We hit it!"

After seeing the flames and thick smoke bursting out from the ship behind the enemy fleet, little Anne began to cheer happily with the two twin sisters, and then she hurriedly urged the gunners to reload, she couldn't wait Another salvo is coming, make sure to sink them!

"Ah! Master, it's not good! They are speeding up!"

On the side, Cecilia, who was more careful, saw the enemy's actions, and quickly reminded her.

If the other party is allowed to pass the test, my ship will definitely be bombarded by the enemy, right? Moreover, the other party has a whole three warships. At that time, if the densely packed terrifying shells roar and bombard them, it will be very difficult to think about it. Terrible!

"Hey, that's right! They must not be allowed to approach, we must keep a distance!"

Although Annie is not afraid of the other party's approach, she still wants to play slowly for a while now. This time, she will personally aim and fire the rows of artillery on the deck one by one!

"Quick! Helmsman! Turn around! Keep a good distance, don't give them a chance to approach!"

"Turn, full rudder, keep distance!"

This time, the boatswain didn't hesitate much, and just repeated the little witch's order.

After Annie's spellcasting just now, their cannons shot a constant distance, which convinced him very much! This kind of keeping the distance between the two sides so that he can hit the other side, but the other side can't hit his order, is obviously very correct, of course he must firmly support it!

"Ah! I'm getting a little fond of this ship now!"

Jack Sparrow also saw the effect of the bombardment just now. The bombardment at such a distance was beyond his imagination in the past!

This Dreadnought was originally just an ordinary battleship, big, slow, clumsy, and slow, but now, after a series of attempts by the witch to enchant it, it has become fast and sensitive, with a range of artillery It has also increased several times out of thin air, which is almost invincible in the Caribbean Sea.

"Hey! Norrington, let's discuss how this ship belongs to me, and the Black Pearl in Port Royal belongs to you."

Jack Sparrow couldn't help feeling a little excited when he thought that he was commanding the battleship Dreadnought, which ran the fastest and had the longest artillery range, above the Caribbean Sea, kiting a large group of enemies to bombard it.

Now, he no longer looks down on the original Black Pearl. The original Black Pearl was just the fastest, but not much faster. The ultra-high speed of a full thirty knots is simply beyond the imagination of human beings in this world.

"Bastard Jack! The Black Pearl is my ship! You still want to use it to make a deal"

When he was secretly shocked by the power of the Intrepid, and even more shocked by the terrible spells of the little witch, Barbossa actually heard that someone wanted to trade his Black Pearl, and instantly became furious. Really want to pull out the musket and give this damn Jack Sparrow a buckshot! () "Shadow Bear Tibbers' Journey to the Plane" only represents the author Shadow Bear's point of view.
