In a moment, valkiri''s towering mast tip broke the calm sea level in Blackbeard''s eyes.
Both sides enter the deck view, with a relative distance of 5km, a relative speed of 16 knots, and a countdown of the last 10 minutes of proximity engagement.
"Put down the boat!" "abandon the davit!"
"Queen Anne, turn five degrees to the right, all ships start as planned, and try their best to disturb the wind direction!" "three degrees at the left rudder, T-head grab the wind!"
"Romance and golden yoke seize the T-tail, raise the artillery and suppress the swimming range of the white flag!" "the maximum wind of the longitudinal sail, lift the bow and make a positive breakthrough!"
"Boys, let the arrogant white flag pay the price!" "valkiri, move forward!"
Different styles, almost exactly the same frequency. Within a minute, Lorraine and Blackbeard quickly completed their final adjustment.
The heavy sling was cut off by a sharp axe and the heavy submachine boat was thrown into the sea along the pulley.
Valkiri''s speed soared.
In this process, Wang also led the operators of the stern longitudinal sail to push the yard to run, and adjusted the huge longitudinal sail from the cut wind state to the maximum blast.
The whole sail surface of the stern longitudinal swelled up, and varkiri completed the final acceleration at the cost of giving up flexibility. Only 70% of the wind climbed the speed to the appalling 11.5 knots!
Like the wind, like an electric switch!
Under the huge thrust, her sword like sharp bow soared in the wind and waves, creating a huge elevation of 5 to 8 degrees, like a runaway god horse, so overbearing that even the waves were trampled under her and moaned.
Opposite her, the Blackbeard pirate regiment did the same.
The pirate regiment, which is famous for its strength, has completely turned into loose sand in the vast sea.
The ship and the ship fall to the ground at a distance of 100 meters, and the water line drawn by the navigation is entangled and entangled, forming a chaotic radiation pattern with valkiri as the source.
In a trance, Lorraine saw a group of sharks rushing towards him, competing with each other.
The purpose of left-wing and right-wing clusters is the easiest to judge.
There were nine of them in total, one large and one small scattered array composed of Bagh and brigantin, who were good at cutting the wind. They avoided valkiri''s route from a distance, like two huge pliers, waving their pliers to the fleet circle behind Lorraine.
Then came the fire in Blackbeard''s hand to take on the romance and the golden yoke. Two sea forts lowered their sails two kilometers away, one left and one right lowered their anchors horizontally, and the dense gun tubes protruded out of the cabin.
The way they use firepower is somewhat similar to the battle line mode that the military is good at. The choice of T-tail is also in line with the line position loved by a series of maritime powers such as Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands.
But the real battle line is parallel, and they are arc-shaped. The real battle line will try its best to shorten the distance between ships. It will never be like them. Just two ships are separated by a full kilometer.
After all, they never existed to destroy or sink.
Lorraine knew that as a hunting component of the Blackbeard Pirate Group, their main function was to limit the space for prey movement in the open sea, just like a fence around the jungle.
The hunting ground is in the middle of the fence, and today''s prey is undoubtedly valkiri. The hunter is Queen Anne''s revenge and the four Galens around her.
"The distance between the enemy ships is 1500. Five ships spread out and meet the enemy in a positive direction!"
When Lorraine heard the notice of the lookout convention, his voice was loud and steady. He couldn''t hear the panic that fewer enemies should be more.
The confidence revealed in his bones made Lorraine laugh.
He shook his head and said to himself, "Your Highness, times have changed..."
……
Circular array, alvette.
Unlike walkiri''s calm in going to danger, the round array, which gathered almost all the main forces of the fleet directly under him, is filled with the urgency of facing the war.
"The left wing meets the enemy! Distance 6200, Bagh 1, brigantine 3, the dark betel and the bell flower are lagging."
"Order the brenhild and the grey backed Falcon to support, and captain Richard of brenhild is in charge of the overall command."
"The right wing meets the enemy! Distance 8100, Bager 2, brigantine 3, cornflower is shot, wisteria is on its way to rescue!"
"Order the gundal to meet the enemy with the warship bird and the sea turtledove. Captain green of gundal is in charge of the command and asks him to take the wounded cornflower back to the main array as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
One after another, the alarm of receiving the enemy blew up over the alvette. Those battles took place outside the view of the deck. Katrina couldn''t see it, but the rumbling gunfire had already spread into her ears from the far end of the sea.
She doesn''t like this invisible on-the-spot command very much.
In her sense, the lookout information is like cold and emotionless silk thread, and she is a poor doll hanging from the silk thread.
Received the enemy, received.
Whether to attack, yes.
Assault formation, order ship? Wing ship? Auxiliary ship?
Is command delegated? Yes.
Confirm command release? Confirm.
She felt like a shopkeeper who shook hands, issued irresponsible orders, stingy with her emotions and emotions, and even didn''t pay attention to the results of the orders.
But she had no other choice.
Because the alvette in this battle was not only the commander ship of the fleet directly under it, but also the decoy ship of the whole battle.
According to the first set of plans to meet the enemy arranged by Lorraine, the battlefield is in the baster sea area. The enemy includes the pirate regiment of Blackbeard and the joint fleet of skeleton Bay pirates. The number of enemy ships is 30 to 50, and the primary purpose of the enemy is to rob prisoners.
Even with the blessing of walkiri''s ruling class, it is difficult for the direct fleet to defeat an enemy of this size within a reasonable damage range.
Therefore, the scheme is divided into three steps.
The first step is to divide the warship, dragging away the best black beard part of the enemy fleet. The minimum requirement is to attract queen Anne''s revenge and two artillery platforms. As long as these three heavy firepower are isolated from the main battlefield, the warships directly under the fleet will avoid the possibility of a sudden death.
The second step is to lure the enemy. All warships concentrate on the circular array, but place brigantin on the periphery.
The round array is to highlight the particularity of alvette and tell his opponent derricky that he is on the alvette.
Brigantin is to expand and expand the battlefield, weaken the round array defense without doubt, and create a time for the opponent to meet the side step by step.
The third step is naturally to close the net.
The yalvit and the sea parrot and skua that protect her closely temporarily transferred the best assault team of the direct fleet except the valkiri, with a total number of 700, far exceeding the full number of sailors of one Galen and two Briggs.
Lorraine also matched Lev and his two deputies to command the Stormtrooper, which maximized the connecting strength of the alvette.
Now, everything is in Lorraine''s prediction.
Valkiri was more attractive than Lorraine thought. He not only retained Queen Anne''s revenge and two forts, but also dragged away four five-level Galens, so that the Blackbeard pirate regiment could only attack the circular array with limited firepower.
Relying on these Bagh ships and brigantine''s main body of nine pounds, and a small number of 12 and 18 pounds of naval guns, it is difficult to pose a threat to the rough and fleshy round array. However, Katrina still robbed them outside the main battlefield as planned, and sent class 5 Galen ships and class 6 brig ships to support them. The momentum of killing chickens with ox knives weakened her defense success to "there are loopholes, but there is no problem" The seductive state of.
Now everything is ready. All Katrina needs to wait for is the prison robbery fleet.
She waited patiently
"Left wing! Brenhild wounded a brigantine and is working with the bell flower to attack the barg!"
"Right wing! The cornflower is shot again and broken. The warship bird sank the first brigadine. The turtledove is deadlocked with the barg in front of him. Glendal is chasing another barg!"
"Rear enemy attack! One level 5 Galen, two bages, 22 ships remaining!"
"Galen type identification confirmation! It''s the Viking Pirate Group''s flagship Eriksson, the enemy ship group..."
Leff, who was sleeping, sat up with a cry.
"Viking Pirate Group Eriksson... Bonette, no wonder I couldn''t find you. It turned out that you changed your ship and hid in skeleton Bay..."
