v2 Chapter 178： Impact angle (2/2)
Hutchison was a little weird. I didn't know what the Veda meant. The other side was now facing them with the bow and stern. As a result, the side guns on the Veda lost their effect. The bow and stern guns It can still be used, but the ignition power does not help at all, and lowering the sail also means that it loses its power and completely falls into a passive beating situation.
No sensible captain would make this choice.
Afterwards, he saw that the bottom of the Veda suddenly opened, extended two rows of oars, and began to stir the seawater, while the Veda rushed towards another pirate ship.
Hutchison was shocked. Although he had also heard of the name of the Veda, after all, he was not a local pirate in Nassau. The information collected was limited, and he did not know that the other party was a paddle-sail ship. In the state of headwind, The black helmsman decisively ordered to retract the sails and switch to paddles. The Veda is now the fastest boat in this area.
The other Corsair apparently did not expect that the Veda was so fierce and put on a posture that hurt both of them. In the past, in order to pursue the greatest damage, the two sides were close. At this time, it was too late to order the ship to be turned. Can only continue to fire, want to sink the Veda before then, but his calculations are still unsuccessful.
Seeing that the two ships were about to collide, a black smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the black helmsman. This idea is too naive.
Before the Veida hit the opposite side, the pirate ship was shaken violently, and then the underwater hull cracked a large opening, and the turbulent seawater poured into the cabin. Such a large crack was beyond the scope of the carpenter's ability. It was impossible to repair, which also meant that sinking was inevitable, and the pirates on the deck fled in terror, and the captain was still aggressive at this time and did not know what happened.
Hutchison, who witnessed it all in the distance, was also a little incredible ~~ But he quickly thought of something, missing his voice, ”Hit angle ?!”
The collision angle is a protrusion fixed to the bow to destroy an enemy ship, usually hidden under the water (the long rod on the bow is not a collision angle), and was widely used by ancient Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans However, in the 18th century, popular artillery bombardment basically withdrew from the historical stage, and it was not until the middle of the 19th century that it once again ushered in a revival on iron armored ships.
Hutchison did not expect that the configuration of the Veda was so retro, but it was still loaded with a collision angle that had been abandoned by other ships. If you learned this information earlier, this is not a big problem, as long as you keep it with the Veda It's good from a safe distance, but now they have suffered a big loss and lost a boat directly.
Hutchison didn't mention how much he regretted, but now it's too late to say anything, he can only watch as the other ship sinks, the sailors above fall into the water without any help, and the Veda has turned the bow.
