People Are Pirates, Build the Strongest Naval Branch

The great route, more than ten nautical miles east of the G8 branch of the Navy.

"Major Drake, we found a large group of pirates ahead, the number is as high as 27!"

"Sure enough...Tell everyone, I'll be a little flustered for a while!"

"Yes, Major!"

Drake did not immediately order to turn to escape, he still remembered what Li Liyan said to himself before departure...

"If you run away as soon as you find the pirates, then no matter how you pretend, those pirate ships will not be able to catch up with you, after all, the distance is too far."

"So, you have to rush up in a posture of catching pirates, and then look for the right time to pretend to escape."

"Don't worry, the other party will cooperate with you in this play..."

Although he didn't understand what Li Yan meant when he said that the pirates would cooperate, Drake understood that if he didn't get close and ran straight away, if the other party was too far away to catch up, there would be no way to talk about the follow-up.

So, you have to get close!

"Major, there is something very strange."

"What's up?"

"There are several pirate ships on the other side that don't fly the pirate flag. It is impossible to tell which pirate group they are, and the main pirates mentioned in the intelligence have not been confirmed, such as the Talos pirates!"

Taking the telescope in the captain's hand, Drake also observed.

Sure enough, in addition to the Talos Pirates, several other pirates whose captains offered a bounty of nearly 100 million were also unable to find them, and the number of these pirates was exactly the same as the number of ships that did not fly the pirate flag.

It was so...

At this moment, Drake understood what Li Yan meant when he said that the other party would cooperate with his exercises.

It seems that Talos is also afraid of scaring us away. If that's the case, then he'll do whatever he wants.

"Order all gunners to prepare for attack and wait for my order!"

"Yes, Major!"

With the passage of time, the distance between the two sides is also shrinking, 5 kilometers, 3 kilometers, 1 kilometers...

Finally, the distance was narrowed to within the standard firefight distance of the Navy.

After all, the world of pirates is still in the era of sailing ships, and the naval guns used are only front-mounted smoothbore guns. Although the range limit is more than 2 kilometers, there is basically no accurate head above 1 km.

Therefore, according to the Navy's maritime engagement rules, the maximum firefight distance is only one kilometer, and the optimal firefight distance is only three hundred meters.

This is still the navy, and most of the naval guns used by pirates are even worse than the navy.

"fire!"

boom boom boom...

Speaking of which, this is still a warship on the great route, and its configuration is better than that of the East China Sea, but it only has three guns, and it is not a special naval gun, but an ordinary cannon that can be pushed away. .

Well, it's almost like the door of the Bucky Pirates...

At this moment, under the order of Drake, the three guns that had already been pushed to the bow deck roared.

However, this kind of ordinary cannon is not a threat to most of the pirates on the great route. Before the cannonballs landed on those pirate ships, there were three black horses passing by, and all the cannonballs were intercepted directly. .

But this is not important. For Drake, it is just to make an appearance and wait for the timing that Li Yan said.

"Major, those pirate ships raised the pirate flag!"

"This is... the Talos Pirates, as well as the Red Sand Pirates, the Osiri Pirates, and the Sassar Pirates, all of which are pirates with a bounty of more than 80 million from the captain!"

The captain who was observing with the binoculars suddenly saw something, and then his face suddenly changed, and he reported loudly.

"Is this... the opportunity that Colonel Li Yan said? Helmsman,

Immediately turn the bow to retreat, the others, show me a little flustered! "

"Yes, Major!"

Soon, just as the warship turned to turn around, the pirates' shelling also started, but it seemed to be a bit biased...

Twenty-seven pirate ships, hundreds of artillery salvos, even failed to shoot a near miss. Even the nearest landing point was more than 150 meters away from the warship.

At a distance of more than 500 meters, more than 100 shells, and the best target is more than 150 meters away. This technology can no longer be described as bad, it is clearly overplayed.

Looking at this scene, Drake was also determined, while commanding the warship to evacuate to the G8 branch, while urging the sailors to perform.

finally...

At 8:50 p.m., the warship was less than one kilometer away from the G8 fortress, and the gate of the fortress was slowly opening.

"The gate of the fortress is open, hurry up, send a message to all the pirates, don't continue acting, move forward at full speed and firmly follow that naval warship!"

"Yes, boss!"

A warship, with twenty-seven pirate ships hanging behind it, rushed towards the gate of the G8 branch. After more than two minutes, when the warship rushed into it, the navy on the fortress gate immediately manipulated the mechanism. , and then the door began to slowly close.

However, it is not an easy task to close all the gates of this huge fortress. It takes at least one minute. In addition, Taotu commanded the marines to do it deliberately. It is very likely that they will not be fully closed in two minutes.

Looking at the huge and incomparably thick door ahead, the speed at which it slowly closed, Taroston was excited and kept shouting.

"Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate me!"

At this moment, he has never thought about it, the huge fortress gate is obviously enough to allow the small warship to pass through as long as it is opened a little, but why does the navy want it to be fully opened...

In just half a minute, a group of pirate ships rushed into the fortress before the fortress door was closed.

However...

It was a little different from what they had imagined. After passing through the gate, the inside of the outer wall of the fortress was pitch black without any lights.

In addition, there was a bang from behind, and the gate of the fortress was completely closed.

Obviously it would take at least one minute to close at that speed, but when they rushed into the fortress, they closed it in less than half a minute?

But before they could think about it, dozens of high-power searchlights in all directions cast incomparably dazzling light over it, as if the place where they were located was a stage, and it was illuminated into daylight. Even because of these searchlights, Talos couldn't even see what was going on outside! "

My heart suddenly froze.

Own...

Shouldn't it be a trick?

In the next second, as if to confirm Taros's guess, countless roars came from all around.

boom boom boom boom...

Obviously, this is the sound of a cannon, and the sound is still a large-caliber cannon...

Originally, cannons were nothing to pirates of their level. After all, there are a large number of devil fruit capable people here. Even if some captains are not devil fruit, they are all masters of physique or swordsmanship. Intercepting cannonballs will come to them It's a little mean to say.

But when you are illuminated by dozens of super-power searchlights from all directions at the same time, do you stop and watch?

You can't even see where the shells are, okay?

After all, they are all pirates in the first half of the great route. They haven't mastered the sight and hearing. When the eyes can't count on them, they are no different from the blind!

Dozens of shells fell into the pirate fleet. These were not small cannons on ordinary warships, but really large-caliber fortress cannons, even more powerful than the cannons used on Tu Moling warships.

If it is a small ship, it can blow you to pieces with one shot, and even a large ship can't resist many rounds at all.

Wave after wave, until each fortress gun fired a base number of shells, it finally stopped.

Looking at the area that was illuminated by searchlights at the moment...

Except for some pirate ships with special abilities, the rest were sunk. The large ship group composed of twenty-seven pirate groups, at this moment...

Only seven pirate ships remain!
