People Are Pirates, Build the Strongest Naval Branch

Luo held Li Yan's right hand with a strange expression.

After all, in this case, it is normal to say that you are welcome to join the navy, right?

However, what Li Yan said was...

Welcome to the East China Sea Navy.

Although it sounds okay at first, if you think about it more, you will find that there is a big problem in this sentence.

In Li Yan's mind, the East China Sea Navy and the Navy are not one body?

Involuntarily, Luo thought so in his heart.

Seeing Luo's expression, Li Yan also raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"General, we expect to arrive in an hour!"

"What about those pirates?"

"Some have left, but most are still on the island!"

"You're not too timid. You've seen Nuoqi's high combat power, but you still haven't run?"

Hearing this, Li Yan was also slightly surprised.

It stands to reason that after seeing the unrivaled combat power of Nuoqigao, the Pirate Alliance should be scattered in a hurry.

However, according to Violet's report, that did not happen.

Although some ran away, it was only a small part, and most of the pirates still gathered on the island.

Or, what cards do they have?

"General, what shall we do next?"

"Release eight frigates, guided by Violet, to pursue all the pirate groups that escaped!"

"At the same time, the two destroyers followed the flagship and continued to move forward, directly washing the ground with naval guns!"

If you leave the fleet and act alone, the speed of the frigate can reach tier 22.

Although this speed was nothing to Li Yan's previous life.

However, in this era of sailing ships, it is an extremely terrifying speed.

No pirate ship can escape at this speed, let alone...

There is also Violet, a naval cheater, to provide them with target guidance.

As for the pirates on the island, Li Yan was not planning to send navy soldiers to land for battle, it was unnecessary.

Most of these pirates in the East China Sea are very weak, and they are done with direct artillery fire.

Hearing this, Ain and Violet nodded, and immediately went to execute the order.

On the other hand, Luo had some doubts and couldn't help but ask.

"General, there are dozens of pirate groups on the island. Once the warship is found approaching, I am afraid that they will not wait on the island, but will fight with us in the form of a pirate fleet."

"Even if the combat power of a single pirate ship is not as good as that of a warship, this is at least fifty or sixty pirate ships, I am afraid..."

Well, if you think about it normally, Luo's worry is correct.

After all, the mainstream of this world is still in the era of front-mounted smoothbore guns and round shells. Not to mention the range is close, even hundreds of meters away, there is no accurate head at all.

Therefore, once it enters the stage of artillery warfare, at least fifty or sixty pirate ships will probably have more than two hundred cannons.

The overwhelming shells smashed over, even if the hit rate was low, even if there were no warships with strong combat power, but only three warships would not be able to withstand it.

"You still don't know, the combat power of our East China Sea Navy's warships?"

"This... I just read it in the newspaper and said it is very powerful, but the specific performance is not mentioned in the newspaper."

"Well, it doesn't matter, you'll know after a while!"

Seeing Li Yan's indifferent expression, Luo couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

Is this arrogance?

Or is it that these warships in the East China Sea have something they don’t know about, so they are not afraid at all?

Well, in a word, we will know when the battle begins.

Soon, nearly a month and an hour had passed.

As Luo guessed, when the three warships in the East China Sea were discovered on the sea level, except for the pirate group that left and was destroyed by Luo and Nuoqigao before, there were still 63 pirate groups left.

At this moment, these pirates have all boarded and are still on the ship, and even some rich people have also opened the pirate ships that have no owners.

In addition, some pirate groups with many people have more than one pirate ship.

So, finally, the number of ships in the pirate fleet reached a staggering 97.

Of course, the combat power of these pirate ships is not uniform.

Some have only one gun on them, and some even have more than ten guns on them.

After all, every pirate group is different.

However, based on the number of artillery pieces alone, it has already exceeded 300.

"Usopp, the commander of the bombardment is handed over to you!"

"Ain, order the two destroyers to leave the flagship and quickly block both sides of the battlefield!"

"Bring those pirates back to the island for me!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Yan ordered directly.

That's right, since he said it all, how can he break his promise?

For this, Li Yan was surprisingly persistent.

"Yes, General!"

The two who received the order immediately went to execute it.

Soon, the two destroyers broke away from the flagship and sailed to the sides.

Their task is to block the flanks of the battlefield.

Don't look at it as just a destroyer, but the artillery above can also shoot 2 or 3 kilometers away.

Coupled with the speed of 20 knots, it is really possible to block the entire battlefield flank with a single ship.

Once the pirates were suppressed by the Goa Kingdom, they could not escape from both sides.

Then, the last way left for them is to retreat to the island, hide in the woods or other terrain, and attempt to fight hand to hand after the navy logs in.

And this is also the purpose of Li Yan himself.

What is obsessed with gunfire, that's just a joke.

For him, the ships of these pirates are all Bailey.

Regardless of the belongings on the ship, whether it was damaged by artillery fire or sunk to the bottom of the sea, it was a huge loss and trouble.

Even the ships themselves, if not destroyed, can also sell for a good price.

You must know that Li Yan has several big plans for the next year in the East China Sea.

Whether it is the sea train that runs through all the islands, the formation of a large-scale air force, or the establishment of an adventurer's guild, etc., massive Bailey's support is needed.

Therefore, the pirate ships in front of them cannot really be sunk.

"General, all the gun positions are ready!"

"Start the attack!"

"Yes, fire!"

After receiving Li Yan's final order, Usopp also shouted with a microphone for in-ship communication in his hand.

Immediately, he picked up the telescope in his left hand and prepared to observe the landing point of the cannonball, so as to adjust it as quickly as possible and carry out the second round of artillery fire.

boom boom boom boom...

The steel giant ship that had been hit horizontally, after a salvo, the huge recoil even pushed the entire warship horizontally several meters.

If this is a wooden warship, unless it is Adam's treasure, the whole ship is afraid that it will fall apart.

shhhhhhhhh...

The next moment ~www.NovelMTL.com~ crossed a distance of three kilometers, with a piercing sound, the shell suddenly fell.

bang bang...

A pirate ship was directly hit, and countless wrecks were immediately blasted into the sky.

Although the rest of the shells did not hit the corresponding targets, two of them hit near misses, causing a lot of damage to the other two pirate ships.

On the bridge of the Goa Kingdom, Usopp held a telescope in his left hand and a microphone for in-ship communication in his right.

While observing, I kept calculating in my heart, and passed the calculated adjustment plan to each gun position through the microphone one by one.

"Fire!"

When all gun positions were adjusted, Usopp gave the order again.

The second round of shelling began immediately!

boom boom boom boom...
