"Bastard, he actually opened fire at such a long distance, and even hit it!" Red Rose looked at the Fengfeng roar, shrouded in rage by the white smoke produced by the cannon fire in the distance.

"Come on, starboard cannons are ready! He can shoot the cannon, so can I!"

"Captain!" The ship officer standing next to Red Rose immediately stopped him, "The distance is too far, our shelling effect may be minimal, and it will also affect the speed!"

"Damn... you cloned soldiers are so stupid as pigs. Why can the other party sink an enemy ship at this distance?" Hong Rose cursed loudly.

However, although she said this, she knew in her heart that her ship officer was correct, so she did not forcefully issue an order to fire.

"It's just a coincidence. I don't believe that he will hit the pirate ship so easily next time!" Thinking of this, Red Rose decided to respond to changes in the same way. As long as it reaches the range as soon as possible, the remaining two pirate ships will still be theirs.

"It's just a coincidence..." Masa, who was observing the battle on the Struggle, made the same judgment as Red Rose.

As soon as Masa finished speaking, a series of thunder-like roars came into his ears one after another. In his vision, the starboard cannons of the wind roared again, and the flames spewed out of the muzzle shocked him.

"Hit the target again! Another pirate ship was sunk!" The captain of the Ultimate sighed.

This precise artillery bombardment, which was more than one thousand meters away, completely subverted Masa's previous understanding of naval warfare. His brain shorted for a few seconds and suddenly asked: "How long is the gap between the two artillery fires of the warships in Jianghai?"

"One minute, sir!"

"One minute!"

The gun officer next to him repeated twice in a row before Masa came back to his senses from his shock again.

"This is already the efficiency of the Royal Navy's best gunner team! I used to be optimistic about Lord Beckett, but I didn't care. Now it seems that this man from the East still has a set of things."

No wonder Masa was so shocked.

Historically, the Royal Navy was able to cross the ocean for a long time, defeat one opponent after another, and create the glory of the empire that never sets, not because of how large the fleet is and how advanced the weapons and equipment are.

Spain and France have been ahead of the UK for a long time in design and shipbuilding technology.

The reason why the British Navy has been able to defeat the enemy many times when its equipment and gross tonnage are at a disadvantage is that this country has a deep naval tradition and can continuously cultivate batches of excellent naval soldiers.

Take artillery as an example. A group of gunners in the Royal Navy has a total of six people, and they are called numbers in order to simplify orders. No. 1 is the gunman, responsible for filling gunpowder, aiming and firing. No. 2 is responsible for turning and raising the barrel. No. 3 is responsible for loading the shells. No. 4 is responsible for cleaning the barrels and extinguishing the sparks before reloading the ammunition. No. 5 is responsible for moving the barrels and delivering the shells. The youngest, usually only eleven or eleven years old, is the sixth, who is a trainee sailor, is responsible for carrying gunpowder.

A well-trained gunner team, from cleaning the barrel, filling ammunition, aiming, and shooting, the entire process can be completed in just one minute with sufficient physical strength! This efficiency is twice as high as that of Spanish and French counterparts.

In other words, with the same number of artillery, the firepower density of the British Royal Navy is twice that of the navy of other countries!

When the energy is full, the gunner team can generally maintain this efficient state of one shot per minute within four rounds of volleys. It is rare to be able to face an enemy with a first-class battleship of the British Royal Navy and a four-volley that does not collapse.

"I didn't expect that, I really didn't expect that the gunners under Jiang Hai not only aimed accurately than the Royal Navy, but also had a speed of fire that was not slower than the Royal Navy." Masa praised the quality of the sailors on the Wind.

If Jiang Hai could hear Masa's praise at this time, he would definitely accept it with peace of mind.

Because now the most powerful leader of several soldiers under his command is not the strongest Yongquan Grenadier, but the improved Dorian Ross seaman.

These seamen spent a lot of money to learn advanced artillery skills.

The excellent soldier, combined with the effective range, power, and accuracy, is far higher than that of ordinary cast iron cannons, so he was able to achieve the current record of sinking two enemy ships with two ultra-long-distance artillery bombardments.

Because of the brilliant achievements of the Royal Navy in later generations, many people believe that the close combat assault tactics that the Royal Navy is good at is the most effective tactic used in the Sailing Age.

In fact, this is not the case.

In the era of Louis XVI, although it was a backward compared with traditional maritime powers such as Britain, the Netherlands, Spain, and other traditional maritime powers, the French Navy had greatly improved its combat distance due to the rapid improvement of warship design, artillery power, and personnel quality. The French Navy's 32-pound naval gun could shoot at a distance of 1,200 meters with a certain accuracy. Moreover, the French Navy also increased the conventional combat distance of the fleet to 600 meters.

At that time, the Royal Navy also used its close-range fierce volley as its key skill, so after seeing the French Navy's non-contact tactic that mainly targets long-range artillery shelling, it was quite a headache.

The British Royal Navy artillery took the path of paying attention to the speed of fire, while the French Navy artillery took the path of paying attention to the range and accuracy. There is no difference between the two.

However, due to the French Revolution, a large number of experienced noble officers in the French Navy were all purged, and the strength of the French Navy was greatly reduced.

Ten years of army and a hundred years of navy. It would never happen overnight to build a powerful navy. The French Navy was greatly injured by the Revolution and no longer had its previous strength. In the subsequent Napoleonic Wars, it was repeatedly defeated by the British Royal Navy. Especially in the Battle of Trafalgar, the French and Spanish Combined Fleet, which had the superior force, was defeated by the British Royal Navy, making it a name for Admiral Nelson.

Because of the glorious history of the Royal Navy, the melee tactics it is good at are considered the kingly tactics of the Sail Age.

However, Jianghai, referring to the French Navy's ideas, was preparing to take a path different from that of the Royal Navy.

Boom boom boom boom...

One minute after the second round of volleys, Jiang Hai's ears once again burst into continuous roars.

This third round of shooting by the Winds sunk the last seriously injured pirate ship without any surprise.

When a series of experience points were obtained and the increase in the comprehensive points came, Jiang Hai finally showed a long-lost smile. He snatched the meat that had already reached the mouth of the thorny rose, and he could have breathed a sigh of relief.

However, everything has just begun.
Chapter completed!
