Chapter 564 Fighting on the side, shelling the islands and reefs

The wind direction has indeed changed, and it has changed almost instantaneously.

The warship that set off to meet the pirates under the order of the Warring States just now had a good wind the first second, but the next moment suddenly a strong crosswind blew, which immediately disrupted their course.

For the climate of this sea area, the navy has never been as familiar with the pirates as the pirates. Among the 43 pirate groups under the Whitebeard Pirates who came to support, there are many excellent navigators. They stowed the sails ahead of time and steered the boat ahead of time, so they were minimally affected.

Taking advantage of the change in the wind direction and the navy's course being affected, the pirates had already adjusted the direction of their ships to the downwind. At the moment when the wind picked up, they lowered the sails again and started to act immediately, and they quickly grabbed the front of the navy warships. , the first to preempt the t-bit.

The so-called t position is very important in naval battles. Generally speaking, the number of gun positions on the side of the ship is the largest. If you can line up in a horizontal row before the enemy on the sea, use the guns on the side of the ship. If you attack, then the firepower can reach the maximum value. In this case, the enemy ships can only be arranged in a vertical row because of their position. In this way, the enemy can only fire from the artillery at the bow position, and because of the position of the enemy ships. Ships block each other, and ships behind will not be able to fire due to line of sight issues.

The navy's warships are of course strong and cannons, but some pirate ships are also not too weak. As long as you are willing to spend money to buy cannons, you can completely exchange quantity for quality.

Among the 43 pirate regiments that came to support this time, there were many such pirate ships known for their artillery power. They came by the wind, lined up in a row, and opened fire on the naval warships!

Boom boom boom! The continuous sound of cannons sounded, and a high water column immediately surged around the navy warship that was one step behind. This was just a test firing. Most of the shells fell into the sea, but there was still an unfortunate warship, which was caught by the sea. The thief's cannonball hit the mast, and the lookout above was turned into a pile of minced meat at the moment when the cannonball exploded. The top of the mast was blown off and collapsed, and even the navy flag on it was burned. .

But this is not over yet. The second round of shooting is here again. The hit rate this time is much higher than that of the previous test. From time to time, fireballs are seen on the navy warships, which are hit by artillery shells. .

Debris flew around, and on the hit warship, some unfortunate navy soldiers were unfortunately affected by the explosion. They were either blown out and dropped into the sea, or they were bombed into the sky, screaming again and again.

However, the sturdiness of the navy warships is not justified. Such an attack is not enough to sink the warship. Although the pirates who have come prepared have grabbed the first move, this does not mean that the navy has no ability to resist. .

On a warship caught in the middle of the fleet, a rear admiral rose into the air and kicked out a cannonball that flew towards the deck. .

One after another, although the pirate ships have been firing continuously, as more and more senior naval officers joined the battle, the damage to the warships began to decrease.

Only those shells that cannot be intercepted will hit the warship and cause an explosion.

At the same time, the navy's fleet was desperately turning, and they also adjusted the ship so that they were also in a downwind position, trying to move the hull to a line parallel to the pirate ship.

Both the left and right wings of the fleet that attacked the pirates were like this. The fleet drew an arc-shaped spray on the sea. While turning, they also opened the cannon cover on the side of the pirate ship. The platoon's artillery was pushed out and waited to be in place to start the attack.

However, soon, the naval fleet discovered that something was wrong. When they turned, the pirate fleet was constantly pressing and approaching them. When the naval fleet completed the turn and was parallel to the pirate ship, the ships on both sides turned out to be It's very close!

"Kill!!"

A loud cry rang out,

With the help of ropes, countless pirates jumped towards the navy warship!

The navy is completely wrong. In fact, these pirates have never thought of having a gun battle with them from the beginning, because the pirates know very well that the artillery on their pirate ships is always inferior to the naval warships. Whether it is the number or the power, even the quality of the gunner is not as good as that of a well-trained naval soldier. In this case, it is stupid to engage in a gun battle with the navy. It is simply stupid.

So they adopted the tactic they were most familiar with, which was the catch-up battle!

A large number of hideous-looking pirates jumped towards the naval ship one after another, which shocked the sailors on board.

"Quick! Fire!" On a warship, the commanding rear admiral drew his knife and ordered.

The next moment, the naval soldiers with guns on the deck shot at the pirates who jumped over.

Bang bang bang, a gunshot rang out, and some of the pirates who were still in the air were hit by bullets, and the blood splashed and screamed and fell into the sea, but the rest of the pirates ignored their companions and bit them. After the knife swayed over, it landed on the deck, stepped on the foot, and immediately killed the crowd of navy soldiers, slashed down with a slash, and a navy soldier immediately fell into a pool of blood.

Although navy soldiers are required to learn swordsmanship during training, to be honest, because of the tactical problems of the navy, they often use guns to fight, but they rarely experience such frontal battles.

On the other hand, the pirates are on the contrary. They rarely use guns, and more often they fight close to the enemy. Moreover, these pirates are well-known pirates in the New World, and they are naturally very experienced in combat.

Therefore, when the pirates arrived on the ship, the chaos of the navy soldiers began to appear. Although they also drew their swords to resist, when they saw the murderous expressions of the pirates, their momentum suddenly fell. At the disadvantage, the pirates who are not afraid of death, even ordinary pirates, can often beat several navy soldiers by themselves, but ordinary navy soldiers can't do this.

Only those officers with higher rank can counterattack calmly, but in the same way, there are also powerful pirates on the pirate side, and they specifically look for such officers to start.

After the side battle, the pirates immediately gained the upper hand, and a large number of pirates shouted, jumped on the warship, and cut down one naval soldier after another.

Boom boom boom! The navy soldiers at the bottom of the cabin finally controlled the cannon and opened fire on the pirate ship that was close at hand. However, although they were bombed and screamed again and again, the pirate ship on the opposite side also did not show weakness, and also faced the navy warship. The cannon was fired, and what was fired was the opponent's artillery position.

This kind of confrontation can be described as a slap in the face, whoever can't hold on first, and who is the first to persuade!

The scene was extremely tragic. The ships on both sides were bombed. Blood and limbs were mixed in the debris and flew around. A navy soldier was hit by a cannonball, and his entire abdomen was directly blown off. The pirate who fired the gun on the opposite side was licking it. With the blood flowing from his forehead to his lips, he let out a grin...

Although the navy soldiers mobilized this time are all elite soldiers of the headquarters, how have they ever experienced such a tragic battle? Therefore, the first to collapse are these grassroots naval soldiers.

Although the pirates suffered heavy casualties, they suppressed the navy in the battle with their strong psychological qualities.

On the other side of the battlefield, Warring States and the others held up binoculars and watched the scene, sighing involuntarily.

They also know that this first battle is the navy losing, the attacking fleet is suppressed, and the pirates will soon be heavily suppressed.

In the binoculars, Sengoku carefully identified the flag of the pirate side: "Ranger Doma... Leiqing Maku Gay... Rumba... Garuma... No, the 43 pirate groups under Whitebeard, now Not even half were present, what about the rest of the pirate group?"

After thinking about it, Sengoku understood, so he immediately gave the order: "Notify all the fleets in the front row to prepare to meet the enemy! According to the original plan, the fleet in the rear row aimed at the Atwall islands and reefs and prepared to bomb the islands! Although I don't know the rest. What the hell are the hidden pirates trying to do, but no matter what, we can force them out!"

Lieutenant General Garp was sitting in front of a table behind Warring States, drinking tea, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Warring States, you wouldn't want to kill Whitebeard on the island like this, right?"

"If it can be done, of course it's good!" Warring States said with a serious face.

"Humph!" Garp also became serious and said, "Don't underestimate Whitebeard, he is the strongest man in the world, he is injured now, but he is like an enraged monster. There's a price to pay for him..."

"..." Sengoku was silent for a while, and didn't say anything, just said to the messenger next to him: "Notify those Qiwuhai...and Brother Doflamingo, if the rest of the pirates appear, it's time for them to take action... …”

"Ah... yes!" The messenger was stunned for a moment, but after regaining his senses, he quickly saluted and went to convey the order.

Ah He was also on this flagship. She had been standing with her arms in her arms and watching the battle ahead. After hearing the words of Warring States, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Warring States. Although she didn't say anything, the dissatisfaction in her eyes was obvious.

After Doflamingo was deprived of the title of Qiwuhai, Lieutenant General Ah He also went out to hunt down Doflamingo. Although Doflamingo defected to Kaido, he did not fight with Bai. The Beast Pirates stayed together, but ran around in the new world, not knowing what they were planning, which also gave Ah He a chance to hunt down.

However, after this war, I don't know what the world government thought. They sent personnel to contact Doflamingo and promised that as long as he helped the navy to fight, he could temporarily stop Ah He from chasing him. .

Such a result made Lieutenant General Ah He very dissatisfied. In her opinion, Doflamingo was the most dangerous person in the Qiwuhai.

That's a wicked man...

In any case, the order of the Warring States was conveyed to the entire naval fleet. Hundreds of warships in front were heading towards the pirates, while the rest of the fleet surrounding the Atwall islands and reefs raised their heads. The muzzle of the ship's bow pointed to the Atwall Islands in the distance.

With a burst of orders, a huge roar resounded through the heavens and the earth in an instant. It was the resonance caused by the simultaneous firing of hundreds of cannons, and the entire sea seemed to tremble for a while.

In the next second, countless firelights rose from above the Atwall islands and reefs...
