Four Hundred and Fifty-Eighth Your Attack Failed to Penetrate the Enemy's Armor

"You bloody slobs! Worms! Flesh maggots! Scourge! Steer to port! Sail!"

"Where is the bombardment on the starboard side! Drive that destroyer away, drive away immediately! Do you know that the deputy admiral wants to sue me? Whoever made me lose the knife and fork, I will stick the real knife and fork into someone's asshole!" "

"Run! No idleness on deck! Run, everyone!"

"Bow gun! 100 Miskuna in the front, let me bombard her!"

boom!

The Yarvette suddenly became aggressive, and amidst Captain Frain's scolding and continuous explosions in the distance, it changed its original slick image.

She interrupted her evasion, and at a distance of 150 meters, she took a direct hit from the Erickson with the hull, sheltered the puffin behind her, then adjusted her direction, and launched a relentless dash in the direction of the Jaeger.

She went straight through the gap between Eriksen and another Brigantine, spraying all kinds of shells randomly on both sides at the fastest speed, and the assault boat hanging beside her was also abandoned, and the drop cable was pulled Halfway through, it was cut off with an ax by a sailor who was worried about complaining, and the flying broken cable almost took the sailor with the ax away.

messy, messy...

The combat power of the direct fleet is brought to them by the top-notch hardware and super-class command team among the Caribbean civilian forces. The quality of the crew as software can only be praised by "the highest level of education".

No matter how well trained a rookie is, he is still a rookie, especially in a chaotic battlefield like the Battle of Basseterre, the mistakes that rookies can make are always beyond the imagination of veterans.

The distance between Alvette and the Jaeger was more than 500 meters, and Katarina only gave Captain Frenn five minutes.

Within 300 seconds, he had to disperse the enemy ships, adjust the course, change the sails, lighten the counterweight, and shelter the Jaeger into his shadow to complete Katerina's request.

Even the Golden Deer back then needed a certain amount of luck to do this smoothly, but now the Alvette...

Captain Frain wants to simplify the process and allow Alvette to move in place ahead of time. Although this will gather the opponents together and may cause Alveite to take a few more direct hits, at least it can make time become easier. Ample, increase the error tolerance rate of sailors.

But……

What the hell is the sailsman tying the rigging of the wingsail into a knot? What the hell is throwing a serious injury after abandoning the Zodiac?

The 12-pound gunpowder surplus projectiles in the third position on the left rudder on the deck are exhausted. Is it for a salute?

Who moved the boatman's iron nails into the bottom water storage tank!

It is impossible for the wing sails to open in time. Alvette is currently under attack by three enemy ships. Apart from increasing the chance of the sail surface being ignited, Zhang Manfan does not help the short-distance speed-up at all.

The current speed of the Yarvette is 2.5 knots, and it can rise to 3.5 in a minute. It can barely move in place in 5 minutes, provided that there are no major changes in direction...

"The passage is blocked!" The second officer ran past Frayn, "Right rudder tenometer..."

"Give me a hammer!" Frain kicked the second officer on the back, staring at the Skuna ship that Bonnet threw into the battlefield with red eyes.

"Continue to disperse and shoot on both sides! The bow gun, 100 meters ahead of Miskuna, let me sink her!"

...

boom! Boom boom boom!

Valkyrie weaves through the rain of bullets.

"The Enemy Rais cuts to the port side, and the starboard rudder evades five degrees!"

"Starboard bombed!"

"Deck crew dodge! Shot warning!"

Before Karen finished speaking, the ship shook violently. Seven or eight shells exploded in the sea around Valkyrie, and the mist raised up obscured the view.

Lorraine folded her arms and stood motionless on the bow of the boat.

Just now, he felt a slight tremor under his feet, probably one or two of the side-cutting bombardment of the Rice hit the Valkyrie's hull, but he could see it clearly and there was no effective deterrence.

As a large ship, although the Valkyrie is designed with a single gun bay, it still has an absolute advantage in height in this civilian-level naval battle.

Her freeboard is two to three meters higher than that of a destroyer, and the gun baffle is 1.5 meters higher.

This means that it is difficult for the destroyer to throw projectiles on the Valkyrie's deck within 200 meters only by creating a certain steering angle when cutting the side.

They may be able to do it easily by extending the distance to 500 meters, but this distance is beyond the reach of shotguns, and the threat of 12 or 18-pound solid bullets to Valkyrie is limited. There are only chain bombs, and the deck personnel only need to avoid random flying The chain bomb is fine.

The benefits of wearing armor are here.

The 2.5-inch (6.4 cm) armor plate itself, fastened to the hull by thick cast-iron rivets and mesh frames, was almost impossible to shatter by a round iron bullet. The only way to penetrate the armor is to transmit enough impact force to break the rivets into the frame

The thirty-two-pound gun is loaded with sixteen-pound solid ammunition, and a direct hit within 100 meters can achieve this effect.

The twenty-four-pound gun is loaded with twelve-pound solid bullets, and three rounds within 100 meters or two direct hits within 50 meters can also achieve the same purpose.

The British 48-pound and 68-pound mortars are of course more powerful, but their range limit is only less than 200 meters, which is too powerful for armor-piercing, and their actual combat performance against Valkyrie will not be better than 32 Pounders are better.

As for guns smaller than the 24-pound caliber, such as the 12-pound and 18-pound guns on destroyers, the impact they create is not enough to break through the defense, and no matter what state they hit, the damage to the armor plate tends to be almost zero.

Therefore, the bombardment theory that changes quantity into quality does not exist for Valkyrie.

Valkyrie will ignore attacks below the armor-piercing line. The only way for destroyers to pose a threat to her is to board the board, and to board the board, the pirates must first be prepared to have no bones left, just like the few ships not far away. Like pieces of wood floating on the sea.

Valkyrie tore through the mist, and Lorraine saw the battlefield again.

500 meters behind the left, the Vortex Escape, which had been left far away due to the failure of the circle, finally took advantage of this section to catch up.

200 meters to the right, the Rice had just completed the side-cut shelling, while avoiding Valkyrie's scattered shelling, while looking for opportunities to turn.

400 meters ahead of the right side, the Storm Ocean seems to be ready to cut the ship, and the bow is pointing directly at the port side of Valkyrie.

But the poor children were probably scared out of their wits by Yaza's hormonal cannon. Including the former Rice, Lorraine had never seen a cut that was cut farther and farther before.

And 900 meters ahead on the right, the Queen Anne's Revenge.

She had already crossed the side of Valkyrie once, and the distance was very close, no more than 120 meters.

The shelling from both sides failed to hit the opponent, but Nasien's black gun killed one of Lorraine's main mast sails, causing the ship to panic for a while.

Now she has completed the U-turn in the distance, and a new round of charge is imminent, and the foremast lookout is constantly watching her movements.

It's a pity that Lorraine's target is no longer her since the rush was interrupted.

After all, her speed and agility are not qualitatively different from Valkyrie, and her skin is thick and fleshy, so it is not easy to fight. Instead of wasting time on her, it is better to choose other targets that can actually pose a threat to Valkyrie.

For example, more than 700 meters ahead, the Golden Shackle is clumsily trying to escape.

"If I knew I was afraid, why would I drop anchor?" Lorraine laughed playfully, "The bow gun is ready. Tell Acharin to boldly pursue love..."
