Chapter 102 Containing the Robin (23)

Chapter 102 Containing the Robin (23)

The small tonnage means that there are fewer artillery pieces that can be carried.

The pirate flagship has only 48 guns in total, and only 24 on one side.

As sea pirates, most of the sources of artillery are plunder or purchased from the black market.

For example, they can't get 32-pound artillery at all, and the largest caliber artillery on the ship is only 24-pound.

And the number is only eight, and after the left and right distribution, there are only four on one side.

Most of the remaining guns were a mix of 6 and 12 pounders.

Cannons of these calibers are simply scratching the itch for the upgraded and strengthened Black Coral.

With the double-layer iron plating and the wooden defense of the original ship, even if a 24-pound medium-sized artillery hits, it can only make a shallow dent on it.

For the battleship itself, there is no threat at all.

Seeing that his attack did not cause substantial damage, Luo Kun was a little shocked and surprised.

What kind of warship is this, and why can't even the '24-pound' gun do damage?

How can the 12-pound 'toothpicks' on the following frigate cause damage to the opponent?

At this moment, Luo Kun finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

Judging from the opponent's firepower equipment, he was on top of the iron plate, and it was already difficult for them to deal with this warship.

Not to mention that there is a battleship of the same specification behind.

Originally, Luo Kun planned to use his flexibility to sneak away from the opponent, but now it seemed that he had to be careful of the risk of being focused.

"Bang... bang... bang..."

The new round of attacks on the Black Coral ended, and Luo Kun returned to the deck to observe the battlefield situation with binoculars while reappearing the loaded flagship.

Although its own artillery cannot cause effective damage to the place, this does not mean that it is necessary to cease fire and retreat.

He had to attack when it was time to attack, and now he had to think of a way to completely eliminate the danger in front of him.

Suddenly, under the binoculars, Luo Kun looked at the Robin without metal coating, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

He couldn't move the special iron lump in front of him, so he should deal with the guy behind him first.

He couldn't believe it, his naval guns couldn't do any damage to the Robin?

As for the Black Coral that was attacking them now, he formed a staggered direction with the opponent after full left rudder.

If the opponent wants to adjust the attack next, he must turn around.

As for the huge monster approaching [-] meters, it is not easy to change direction. Taking advantage of this period, he has enough time to launch a surprise attack on the Robin.

Even if time permits, you can jump directly into the gang. At close range, the Black Coral must not dare to fire at will.

This creates favorable conditions for them. As long as they can win the Robin, the situation on the battlefield can be reversed instantly.

At that time, no matter how serious your losses are, you will have a chance to come back.

Thinking of this, Luo Kun immediately ordered to encircle and suppress the Robin.

Lin Feng, who was watching the battle from the top of the hill, understood the opponent's intention when he saw that the opponent no longer controlled the Black Coral.

The Robin is indeed a weak point in the entire battle situation.

After the centurion was transferred from the mining island, the remaining people on the island were only more than 370 people.

And most of them are serving on the Black Coral, as a backup Robin, Lin Feng's plan is to use it to make up for the knife.

There are only 150 people on the ship, which only meets the ability to start and unilaterally fight.

But based on the current situation, this island fleet is about to launch a double-sided attack on the Robin.

The Robin, which is short of manpower, can hardly withstand the double-sided attack. If it is not done well, this battleship may fall into the opponent's hands.

Analyzing the entire battlefield situation, Lin Feng quickly searched for the current solution in his mind.

Looking at the speed marked on each warship, Lin Feng suddenly had an idea.

"Send an order to the Black Coral, don't turn around to pursue, go straight and turn left to support the Robin."

"In addition, send an order to the Robin to make them turn around immediately and prepare for battle."

The two orders were quickly conveyed to the two warships, and everyone began to execute the orders without any doubts.

Luo Kun saw the changes made by the two battleships. Looking at the situation on the top of the island, he knew that the owner of the island must be directing the battle from above.

Immediately ordered people to attack the mountain.

"Let the Rotten Bird attack the hills on the island."

The following frigate, after receiving the order, immediately adjusted its muzzle to aim at the hill.

The attack launched by more than a dozen artillery pieces instantly knocked down the watchtower on the hill.

And Lin Feng, who was nearby, hid in the nearby trench after giving the order to complete.

He didn't just stay where he was and wait for the opponent's revenge attack.

The combination of semaphore and lamp language is too obvious, but in this era and environment, it is also the most efficient one.

Otherwise, just relying on shouting, his orders would not even allow him to leave this island.

The 12-pound and 6-pound guns had small calibers and a fast rate of fire, and they stopped attacking after four or five consecutive rounds.

Due to fighting close to the island, the most important thing for a warship is to control the speed to prevent it from running aground or hitting the island.

Therefore, the old enemy of the pirate fleet was not fast. The fleet had just arrived here when the Robin on the other side of the island had already aimed the side of the battleship at the pirates.

Facing the island fleet lined up in a long snake formation, the commander on the Robin did not immediately choose to fire and attack.

Instead, he waited until the opponent started to turn and exposed his flanks to prepare for the bombardment before ordering to fire.

In this way, the flagship of the first ship can also expose more hit areas, which will also have a considerable impact on the artillerymen who are preparing to attack.

"Boom... Boom... Ka..."

As the pirate fleet turned and opened fire, a new round of battle officially started.

But this time, the five warships of the pirate fleet suddenly split into two. The flagship led a warship behind him to turn left and fired, then hurriedly turned right, forming an S shape on the sea.

The three frigates in the back turned to the right, and after opening the distance, they turned to the left.

From the top view, the five separate warships are preparing to encircle the Robin one after the other.

'really……'

Lin Feng, who was secretly observing, saw this scene and his guess was verified.

If the Black Coral had been turned around to support before, I'm afraid it hasn't even turned around yet.

After the Robin was besieged, there was no way to support it.

But fortunately, Lin Feng still made a countermeasure in advance, let the Black Coral continue to move forward, and then slowly turned left around the island to support the Robin while conserving its power.

Lin Feng still arranged the layout of the battlefield as well as possible, but the next battle depends on whether the sailors on the Robin can withstand it...
