1717 New American Empire

When Ijik arrived at Jeju Island, the person in charge happened to receive information about the appearance of a new slave fleet from George. His ten warships here have always been in a level two alert state. Once the mission is completed, they will immediately

Maintenance and material replenishment will be carried out. There is no situation where the ship is not ready when it is sent back. As for the status of the crew, haha, Ijik said that as long as you have money, these lazy people will ensure that you have enough energy every day.

passion.

Ijik also rested for a long time and felt lazy all over. Although the sailing during the recent period was tiring, it made him regain his passion. This time, the opportunity to ride on the sea came again, and he naturally

Won't miss it

Ijik let the long-tired new ship enter the port for repairs, and he himself boarded the renamed Eagle. Well, it was also the former Slave Emperor. Xiao Lin felt that this name was too middle-class and too embarrassing.

Forcibly ordered Ijik to change his past.

The firepower of the Eagle is now not even a little bit stronger. There are ten heavy fists of the second type and thirty heavy fists of the first type, which can compete with some small battleships. Because the heavy fist series of artillery are lighter, it is still

Xiongyinghao has more room for improvement. Xiao Lin’s suggestions,

A flamethrower gun was installed on the bow of the ship. To this end, Xiao Lin also asked the engineering team to study the flamethrower tank and came up with a crooked-tech flamethrower turret made of hardwood and fire-proof coating, which could blast the flames.

It sprays out thirty meters away and is definitely a powerful tool for cleaning decks.

The fuel used is not something that is difficult to mine like the Byzantine fire-breathing ship, but the extremely luxurious high-density fire-breathing fuel tank provided by Xiaolin. Because the cost is too high, except for the initial test, all the subsequent

Not used anymore. Looking at hands

The fleet under him has grown to this point, and Ijik is also excited. Because of his desire for the sea, he left the land, worked as a navy, and became a pirate. Later, he became that ruthless slave investment for money, but lost his original intention.

.

Unexpectedly, because the slave business was suppressed, he regained the same feeling as before. Watching the Eagle set sail, Ijik also swept away the fatigue of the journey, put on the captain's uniform in high spirits, and held a revolver in his left hand.

Holding a navy command knife imitated by the company in his right hand, he excitedly commanded the ship to accelerate.

"Little ones, please work harder, don't let the prey escape like this!!!"

“Great!!!”

Turning the camera to the other side, one of Krukal's confidants, Assas, sailed boredly with a slave fleet as a bait at the place where it was last intercepted, about ten days' voyage from Jeju Island.

Of course, this is for leaders like Assasi. The uninformed people below are still very panicked. They don't even understand why they still want to take this extremely dangerous road.

The first five fleets, even if they are only close to this route, will be stopped by the mysterious local fleet. The ships can be easily repaired and towed away, but those that can be repaired with a little effort will be directly sunk. And

Sailors, if they surrender in time, they can still save their lives and be treated as ordinary laborers by them. If they dare to resist desperately, they will be killed directly. They can't resist the orders of the people above, so they should be ready at any time.

Just surrender.

They didn't know that two different fleets were secretly following the three-hour voyage. Although George lent the Portuguese regular navy, they would not listen to his orders. They would only follow the orders of their commanders and try their best.

Cooperate with them to annihilate the invading enemies. Ijik and the others were really too careless. They had robbed their fleet five times in a row, which really made them relax their vigilance. They did not send out a reconnaissance ship in advance and directly surrounded them.

Come up.

At this time, Assas and the others finally told everyone about George's decision.

"Okay, don't panic, everyone. We deliberately attracted these people this time. To tell you the truth, behind us are two groups of twenty battleships in total, and there is also a battleship, which is the regular Portuguese navy.

."

"Really?"

"Of course, this time, we are going to kill all the enemies in one fell swoop. Boss George will make a bold statement this time and keep all the seizures for himself. He doesn't want anything."

"oh!!!"

"Lord Assass, we will definitely persist until the fleet arrives."

Assas is the person under George who is best at mobilizing people's fighting spirit. With two simple words, the sailors who were about to surrender just now burst into resistance. Ijik thought that these people were related to the fourth and fifth waves.

The others also gave up resistance, the ship slowed down, and few people came out. He asked the Eagle to slowly move towards the largest frigate, preparing to receive his spoils this time. However, suddenly, the Eagle

He took seventeen shells of various sizes.

Fortunately, because the weight of the cannon was reduced, the Eagle's flexibility was enhanced. The captain of Ijik turned the rudder in time, adjusted the ship and lowered it. Although the sails and some gun emplacements were hit, causing some damage.

.However, the main positions have not been attacked, especially the gun positions of the Heavy Fist series of artillery are still intact. Ijik stood up from the deck, shook his head that was a little dazed from the fall, and roared loudly.

"Fight back, fight back immediately, fight back for me!!!"

"ha!"

"Everyone, first fire the loaded heavy punch series of artillery, and let me operate the fire-breathing turret. Damn it, this time I will teach these die-hard elements a profound lesson."

"good!"

These people under Ijik are not good people. They were criminals who used to hang out in the colonies. For money, they can do anything. Now that Ijik has the mountain of Xiaolin at his back, the money in his hands is not what it used to be.

Comparable, and given enough money, these people have demonstrated combat effectiveness that is enough to hire the most formal British Navy. The British Navy, in this era, far surpasses the Portuguese Navy. This bombardment did not cause any harm to them.

What impact.

The heavy punch series is designed to be more stable and safer, so there is always a gunpowder shell stuffed in the barrel, and the artillery is well protected where no one can get it. As long as you push the artillery out, you can shoot directly.

Before they were ready for the second bombardment, the forty cannons of the Heavy Fist series had already fired. This was the first time Assass and the others had tasted this kind of firepower density. A frigate dared to attack the Eagle.

Okay, just one round of artillery fire will cripple it.

Then, the flamethrower was adjusted, the battleship moved closer, and the flamethrower swept across the deck. George's men, who were preparing for the boarding battle, were directly ignited and turned into a human-shaped fireball. Then, Ijik let

attacking.

However, Ijik and the others were negligent. They waited for these ships, causing their manpower to be a little scattered. Ijik was relieved because he had just let out a bad breath, but the observer suddenly sounded an alarm, and twenty warships rushed them.

They were surrounded and were shrinking the encirclement. From the looks of it, it was impossible for them to escape in time and they had no choice but to fight. At this time, Ijik finally realized that he had been set up by George.

However, it was really a dream for George to destroy Ijik like this. Ijik smiled and took over the command. He immediately called all the sailors and soldiers back from the battleship under George's command.

All warships first seize the T position. In the previous artillery era, naval guns were often densely distributed on the sides of the ship. The sides were the best choice for a warship to exert its strongest firepower. At that time, the fleet used to use a single column, which was the fleet.

Line up in a straight line lengthwise.

Therefore, in a naval battle, seizing the horizontal position prefixed with the word "T" allows our fleet to present a line of broadside firepower to fight against the first warship in the opponent's column that enters the range first, forming a situation of more fighting with fewer, while the opponent's longitudinal

In a straight-line battle, only the firepower of the front guns can be used, and the firepower of the rear guns can only be used

The ship's field of vision and shooting angle are greatly affected, and it can also block the enemy's route in strategic posture. In addition, this position can effectively attack the front armor of enemy warships, making it easier for enemy ships to enter.

water and sink.

It is difficult to form a "T" crosscut in a naval battle, because the opponent is not a fool and will adjust the course at any time. However, many of the people like Ijik have been in the British Navy. T-shaped artillery warfare technology,

But it was invented by the famous British general Albemarle.

In this era, who else has better control than the British. Therefore, the Portuguese directly ran into the T-shaped formation of Ijik. The Heavy Fist series of artillery is really an extremely suitable naval battle artillery, and its accuracy is at

There was not much loss on the bumpy sea.

The ten warships under Ijik opened fire in advance. The first ones to be hit by the cannonballs were naturally George's men who rushed the fastest. Xiaolin also instilled a lot of combat concepts into Ijik, among which the one that Ijik was most convinced of was

It would be better to cut off one of their ten fingers. In order to ensure that one round of bombardment was effective, they endured it again and again. The battleships were divided into two groups, one group of five, all aiming at one frigate. The five battleships did not attack at the same time.

Fire, but fire all at once.

With enough walkie-talkies, the first three ships are all to test the accurate design coordinates, and then report them to the next two ships. The three cruiser-level battleships are waiting for this time, and the combined one is equipped with the most heavy-hit series artillery.

of frigates, shooting together.
