Under the command of the great Captain Anne, the large fortune ship of the Xiongtou Unnamed Community quickly completed its full speed forward to the southeast and maintained the attitude of facing the enemy with more than fifty gun emplacements on the side, steadily seizing the The standard naval artillery battle tactical position starting with T.
At this time, as time went by, the enemy ship, which could only be barely seen from the lookout position of the gondola at the top of the mast, slowly appeared on the sea level in the distance.
Of course, at present, only the enemy's masts and sails can be vaguely seen. As for the specific type and size of the ship's hull, and which community it belongs to, it is not yet known.
After all, the distance between the two sides is really too far. It is definitely impossible to judge the incoming person based on the flag from such a long distance.
"That is……"
"One, two, three, four, five..."
"!!"
"Oops!"
At the stern of the ship, at the tower above the wheelhouse, he held a monocular in his hand and looked toward the east sea for a long time. After discovering that the enemy actually had five ships, Black Rabbit finally couldn't help but exclaimed. She stood up and did not hide the fear and anxiety in her words.
"There are actually five enemy ships in total. They are surrounding us in a battle formation. Can we rush out?"
Black Rabbit panicked.
Come to think of it!
There were five enemy ships, and they were surrounding them in an encircling formation. It was clear that they were coming with bad intentions!
But they only have one ship. When everyone can only use artillery, muskets and swords to fight, the party with more ships, more cannons and more people will undoubtedly take advantage.
Even at this time, Black Rabbit didn't think it would be too exaggerated to say that the enemy had an absolute chance of winning. Therefore, after confirming that the enemy had so many ships and the target seemed to be them, how could she not worry?
"Um."
"It is indeed five ships..."
Nodding, Izayoi Izayoi on the side also confirmed Black Rabbit's statement.
"I don't know if there will be more later."
"I hope not?"
At this time, at this distance, even without using a monocular telescope with that magnification, he could still see the five fuzzy and small sail shadows on the sea level on the horizon with his eyes.
Of course, they are small just because of the distance, and Izayoi knows very well that no matter what, the contestants will not choose small boats to cause trouble, so the fleet will at least be medium-sized boats or similar to them The same large ship!
In other words, later on, they will have to face at least hundreds of artillery pieces and hundreds of enemies, plus at least twenty-five powerful people. Like them, they are all representatives of a certain community from the Little Garden?
Thinking of this, he had to touch the gunpowder gun on his waist with some annoyance and grief, which could only fire one shot, and the scimitar that was said to be beneficial in naval battles.
"..."
Although Izayoi Izayoi is very confident and never thinks that his own power will be lost to anyone, but when both sides cannot use any gifted abilities and supernatural powers and can only use firearms and fighting skills, if the battle situation is If it really got to the point of fighting between gangs, he really couldn't guarantee that he would be able to defeat his opponents who were also armed with muskets and swords.
"But!"
"This is wrong!"
"It's not that each community can only choose one ship, but look at it, why do they have five ships?"
"It must be a foul, right?"
At this time, Kasukabe Yoshi, who also saw the shadow of the sail, suddenly thought of something wrong, so he hurriedly asked his companions.
"whispering sound!"
"who knows?"
"Maybe they are the Navy's encirclement and suppression fleet, maybe some pirate groups, or maybe they are small gangs gathered together by several other communities?"
"If you want to know, Kasukabe, you'd better ask them directly later?"
"If they would answer..."
With slumped shoulders, indicating that he didn't know any more than Kasukabe, Izayoi Kaikai could only casually speculate on the possibilities he thought.
"ah?"
"Can we gather together for a team during a racing competition?"
"This is a foul!"
"Black Rabbit, you think so?"
He was startled at first, and then Kasukabe hurriedly asked the black rabbit on the side who was still looking at the enemy ships with a telescope.
"..."
It's a pity that Black Rabbit is currently focused on the enemy ships whose hulls are slowly appearing on the sea level. How can he have time to deal with Kasukabe?
"No!"
"There's no foul play!"
At this moment, before Black Rabbit could react and answer, Kuon Asuka on the other side spoke out her opinion first:
"I think what Izayoi just said is right. It is probably indeed a small gang formed by several communities!"
"Kasukabe, what do you think..."
"The qualifying condition for the competition is to sail a wooden sailboat across the Pacific Ocean and arrive at the destination in the first 100 places. Is that correct?"
"Since the first 100 people who arrive can be promoted, then there will definitely be people who are opportunistic, gathering in small groups to form a fleet, and then suppressing and attacking other communities, and at the same time ensuring their own safety during navigation. It’s definitely better than sailing alone like us, isn’t it?”
Jiuyuan Asuka began to talk and sincerely gave a thumbs up to the group of smart little guys who appeared in the distance.
After all, if she hadn't seen that kind of thing, maybe she wouldn't have thought of doing it, that kind of team-up to keep warm and ensure the safety of their own navigation, and at the same time, it could form an absolute superiority in force and deterrence to other communities. The team method is indeed a good way to advance smoothly, there is no doubt about it!
"But!"
"How did they form a team so quickly?"
"besides!"
"How on earth did they get together so quickly?"
"Is it possible..."
"How do they communicate?"
Although I can probably understand Kuon Asuka's statement, but considering that the starting point of their Kumon Head Nameless Community is a desert island and no other community ships are found around, Kasukabe Yoshi still can't imagine that in such a long time, How did the opponent complete the formation of a team so quickly and formed a command system in that time, and was blatantly preparing to attack them.
"It's safe!"
"Kasukabe, don't worry about how they got together. They are all surrounded now, and they are clearly showing hostility. Let's think about how to defeat them or how to escape!"
Shaking his head, Izayoi didn't want to have that meaningless conversation anymore.
Because, no matter how the other party completes the formation of the fleet, the fact is that the other party is already coming towards them. If they can't survive this disaster, it will be useless to say anything.
"That's right!"
"It's pointless to discuss that kind of issue now, so let's get ready to fight it!"
"But, fortunately, this kind of wooden sailboat is slow enough. When they come around and enter our shooting range, it will probably take two or three hours!"
Kuon Asuka, who breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be relaxed, just comforted Kasukabe Yō.
"This is the sea!"
"Although they have many ships, it is not easy to catch up."
"I have seen some cases of naval battles in the medieval age of navigation. Two ships chased each other because their speeds were almost the same. In the end, they fought for several days before they could barely decide the winner!"
Asuka had learned before when she went to that elite girls' school that when at sea, the length of a person's sight distance completely depends on the eye height, the curvature of the earth and the climate conditions. Theoretically, the maximum sight distance is about 25 nautical miles, but in fact, due to The maximum distance can reach 30 nautical miles due to the influence of eye height, refraction effect, optimal climate conditions, etc.?
For now, let's just assume that the other side's fleet is twenty-five nautical miles away from them. Now their ships are heading south-southeast, while the other side is heading south-southwest, even if they don't count the angle and course of each other. Factor, the relative speed of the two sides may only be a few knots, and even a speed of ten knots is less than 19 kilometers per hour, and twenty-five nautical miles is less than fifty kilometers. Calculating in this way, they have at least four or five How many hours do you need to prepare?
Anyway, Jiuyuan Asuka felt that they could have a meal first, take a shower and then change clothes. The time would definitely be more than enough.
"The eldest lady is right!"
"The engagement distance of sail warships is generally three hundred to five hundred meters. The effective range of those smoothbore cannons is generally only about one thousand meters, and they are still solid bullets. It takes a skilled gun crew one to two minutes to fire one shot. time, so in most cases, in order to ensure the accuracy and power of artillery battles, they fire each other dozens of meters apart."
"They have to pursue us far enough before they start fighting us. It's still early."
"When that time comes..."
"I'm afraid it's almost time to jump into a gang war, right?"
Then, Izayoi Izayoi also sighed and began to worry about this competition.
In any case, the opponent has a fleet with many people, ships, and cannons. If they fight later, even if they can escape successfully in the end, they will definitely be scarred by then. Will they be able to reach their destination within the first one hundred people? Well, I really have no confidence at all.
Therefore, if possible, he hoped that the ship could speed up to get rid of the opponent and escape, but Anne insisted on hitting the opponent, and he had no good way.
"Don't call me Miss!"
"Izayoi!"
"I told you many times!"
Hearing this, Asuka glared at Izayoi Hatefully.
"I do not understand……"
"Why don't we all just have a good race? They seem to be competitors too, why do they have to attack us?"
"We didn't offend them either, right?"
Although Kasukabe could understand what Izayoi and Kuon Asuka said, she was still a little frustrated and aggrieved.
"Why?"
"There are a full 10,000 teams, that is, 10,000 ships in this sea area. Now every time one more is sunk, there is one less competitor. That kind of thing would be done by you and me. Bar?"
"whispering sound!"
"If they can, they may not need to run very fast at all. They just need to stop on the route and eliminate all the competitors they find while moving forward!"
"If there are less than a hundred teams left, they can advance anyway, what do you think?"
"It's like being chased by a tiger or a brown bear. If you can't run faster than others, can you try to push others?"
As he spoke, Izayoi looked at Kasukabe with a ferocious smile, wanting to see what the other party said.
"!!"
"How can that be done?"
"That's not right!"
"We should negotiate with tigers and brown bears!"
Hearing this, Kasukabe quickly protested, saying that since she could talk to animals, she didn't need to run faster than others, nor did she need to push others down.
"alright!"
"You all stop talking!"
Seeing the two of them entangled over a nonsensical issue, Jiuyuan Feiniao, who was somewhat dumbfounded, could only stop them impatiently.
"I've discovered a problem now!"
"I……"
"Eh?"
At this time, just when Jiuyuan Feiniao was about to say something more, she suddenly discovered that for some reason, the helmsman started to turn the bow of the ship and turned it towards the east?
"!!"
"What's going on? Why did you turn?"
"Annie?"
"Hello!"
"Little Annie, what are you doing?"
"That's the enemy's encirclement over there!!"
Seeing this, he first looked at each other in shock with Izayoi and Black Rabbit. Then, of course, Kuon Asuka ran to the guardrail and shouted and questioned some troublesome little guy in the direction of the bow. .
If there was still a chance to get rid of the enemy in the previous course and take the opportunity to fire a round of artillery to cause trouble for the enemy, let the enemy retreat and buy herself more time to follow the ocean current south, then, now that Anne has turned like this, Then the situation has changed.
In this way, in more than half an hour or less at most, they and the enemy would be at a dangerous fighting distance. In a one-on-five situation, she really couldn't think of any way they could defeat the enemy with five ships. enemy.
"What?"
(ˊ)
"Of course you can use the crosswind to rush over and hit them. What else can you do?"
(*)
Anne in the distance certainly heard Jiuyuan Feiniao's question, but she didn't even think about it and just explained it directly and carelessly.
"Can't!"
Finally, Black Rabbit, who had been observing the enemy's situation with a monocular from the beginning, no longer bothered to check the enemy's situation. Instead, he and Asuka hurriedly shouted to a certain troubled little girl in the direction of the bow. , the kind of crazy action that wanted to stop the sailboat from heading east at full speed.
"Annie!!"
"The enemy has one battleship, and the remaining five are all large British square galenic ships. If we rush over, we will definitely have no chance of winning!"
"You will definitely fall into their encirclement!"
Asuka advised again.
In her opinion, we are outnumbered, and the enemies are all big ships like them. There is even a battleship among them, such a powerful fleet of five ships, but they have to rush straight towards it. It's definitely going to be a disaster, so it's better to just run south.
"Surrounded?"
(**;)
"No!"
( )
"They fell into the siege of others, that's how it is!"
Q(`⌒Q)
Waving her little fists, Annie mercilessly refuted Black Rabbit's words and said that she couldn't wait to start the war as soon as possible.
"Anyway!"
()
"Having more ships doesn't necessarily mean they are powerful. You idiots who don't understand naval warfare should stop giving random orders and just watch carefully. If you lose, it's your fault!"
()! !
After saying that, Anne didn't care so much, and relying on her status as the captain, she continued to let the large fortune ship fly towards the enemy with five large ships that appeared in a row on the east sea level. go.
…
At this time, on the bow of the battleship of the enemy fleet opposite, a Lolita wearing a kimono and a pair of devil ears also put down the monocular in her hand in surprise. She seemed to be unable to understand why. Why did the fleeing ship suddenly turn and rush towards us?
"Weird!"
"We have never seen anyone in the Little Garden world really have that kind of guy who is not afraid of death..."
"pity!"
"They are a bunch of foolhardy guys after all!"
With that said, the little lolita in kimono thought for a moment, then simply threw away the telescope and stopped looking any further, and then said to a certain adjutant:
"go!"
"Notify them, wait for the enemy's aircraft to have the best range, and then fire freely to sink them!"
"correct!"
"The other party doesn't seem to be flying a flag?"
"That's a great reminder for us!"
"go!"
"Take down our flag as well. We are a large business alliance. When doing business, we focus on harmony and making money. There is no need to let the other party know who we are."
"When the other party gets close, we'll just sink it!"
Then, the little lolita in kimono once again gave instructions to a companion behind her.
In any case, now that they have embarked on the piracy business of racing and robbing, they will definitely sink a lot of ships in the future. If it is known that they are the ones who did it, it will be a big blow to their large business alliance community. business is very influential.
Even if they are not afraid, there are probably not many guys who can make it to the third ring of gift competition who are easy to bully. If they are worried about them all day long, it will be a big trouble after all.
"..."
"How verbose!"
A guy standing behind him with his arms folded was still unmoved after hearing the words. After a long time, he reluctantly turned his head to look at an NPC sailor next to him and waved to him to follow the order.
In this way, the ships without flags on both sides began to rush towards each other at an angle of about 120 degrees, blown by the northwest wind.
At this rate, in less than an hour at most, the two sides will be within an effective shooting distance of one thousand meters. By then, a big battle will be inevitable!
