Daming pirates

There is a watch bucket on the mast of each ship. This watch bucket is very small. Because it is at the highest point, the shaking amplitude is also the largest. People on it can only hold the mast and keep looking around. In winter,

It's definitely a hard job in the summer, and it's not much better in the summer. You have to be exposed to the sun on sunny days, and you have to withstand the wind and rain on rainy days.

But tonight, I was on duty on the mast, but it was quite pleasant. There was not much wind on the sea, and the moonlight was not bad. Sitting cross-legged in the dome, blowing the sea breeze, it was cooler. At least it was much more comfortable than the stuffy cabin, so

Those on the night shift had a very comfortable life at the top of the mast, at least it was very cool.

In the bay of a small speedboat, there sat a watchman who was as thin as a monkey. He was blowing the sea breeze and counting the time. At this time, there was only an hour and a half left before dawn.

After an hour, the next shift of personnel will take over.

He was a little sleepy at the moment, but he didn't dare to be lazy and squint for a while, because as a lookout, he knew his responsibilities very well. Sailing on the sea at night was very dangerous, and this area of ​​​​the sea itself belonged to the enemy.

Area, unexpected situations may occur at any time.

In addition, there are many of their friendly ships cruising on the sea. As a lookout, he must pay attention to the situation on the sea at all times and detect ships and abnormal lights on the sea in time.

Otherwise, if he fails to stop and causes a ship collision, as a lookout on duty, he will have to bear a very heavy responsibility. Often the lightest punishment is to be sent to a labor camp for two years.

After three years of hard labor, it is unknown whether they will be able to escape from the labor camp alive. If a serious accident occurs, they may even be hanged directly.

As a naval soldier of the Yu Jiajun, if anyone makes a mistake and is driven to a hard labor camp or hanged, it would be a great shame. Being a soldier in the Yu Jiajun is well paid, and those who serve as officials will never deduct military pay.

, the food is good, and the family members will also benefit from it. Once they perform meritorious service and are seen by the superiors, becoming an officer will be a very honorable thing for their family members. Even their family members will hold their heads too high unconsciously when walking in the village.

Some, the chest is puffed up a little.

Therefore, these soldiers of the Yu Jiajun still attach great importance to their sense of honor. Very few people leave their posts without authorization, and the punishment they receive is at most a few slaps on the board. Those who really neglect their duties are often not on board at all.

If you can't stay, you will soon be eliminated by other members of the ship.

If they were kicked out of the army, navy, and army because they were unqualified and rushed back home to farm, it would be a huge humiliation. Even if they were sent back to farm, no one in the whole village would look at them seriously.

At first glance, if anything good happens in the village in the future, it may have nothing to do with their family. They, including their family, will not be able to hold their heads high in the village for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, even if he was dozing off, the lookout did not dare to be lazy now. However, it was close to the early morning, which is when people are most sleepy. Although he tried to cheer up, he still felt that his eyelids were heavy, and his upper and lower eyelids always felt

Wanting to stick together, he worked up his energy and took out a dried chili pepper from his pocket. He bit it in his mouth and it was very hot. It was as if the inside of his mouth was on fire. It was really exciting.

So he took a bite, and even though it was too spicy, he just stuck out his tongue. Now this thing has become a magic weapon for them to refresh themselves when they are on guard duty at night. After one bite, the inside of his mouth was so spicy that he felt sleepy for a long time.

Neither can sleep.

He sucked in the cold air and felt much more energetic all of a sudden, so he took off the monocular from the side and once again slowly looked around the sea in the moonlight.

When he swept the telescope lens across the southeastern sea, he suddenly stopped and quickly swung the lens back to some angles. Just now, he seemed to see some very faint light spots in the lens, but

He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after the camera swept over it, he felt it was necessary to take another look, so he adjusted it and slightly extended and retracted the telescope's lens barrel back and forth in an attempt to see more clearly.

After adjusting the lens slightly, the scene on the sea in the distance seemed to be clearer. Although the background was black at night, in the black cloth-like background, the scene in the eyepiece appeared clearly.

Many light spots like fireflies.

He didn't believe his eyes, so he quickly put down the telescope and rubbed his eyes vigorously. He was in enemy-occupied territory now. If he reported a false alarm, he would definitely be punished, so he had to see clearly.

After rubbing his eyes, he quickly raised the telescope again, pointed the lens at the previous location, and observed carefully.

After a while, he suddenly put down his telescope, lay down on the edge of the battle, and shouted to the deck below: "There are a large number of ships appearing three miles away on the port side. It is determined to be an enemy attack! Send warning rockets!"

He shouted loudly, and then banged a gong hanging next to him. His shout and the sound of the gong immediately alerted everyone on the boat.

The sailors who were still a little drowsy just now were all alerted. Someone immediately ran to the captain to call the police. When the captain heard the sound, he had already rushed out of the cabin. After reaching the poop, he immediately raised his telescope and looked out.

Looking in the direction pointed by his hand, he found dots of lights on the sea as expected, so he shouted sternly: "Send three red rockets! Quick! The whole ship is ready for battle! Everyone get on the deck!"

Not long after, three rockets emitting dazzling red light soared into the sky one after another from the deck of the ship. After flying very high, they exploded into three dazzling red lights in the air.

ball.

The lookouts on all the ships in the anchorage immediately saw the three rockets soaring into the sky in the distance. Immediately, the alarm bells of each ship rang, and the rapid warning gongs sounded. The captains of each ship and those on board

The sailors were all awakened, quickly put on their clothes, and rushed to their positions.

In the Sea Wolf Navy, the system is strict and everyone has a fixed position. Even if the siren is heard, everyone is not allowed to rush onto the deck in an orderly manner. Instead, they must first gather at their respective fighting positions and wait.

The captain gave the order.

The captain needs to rush to the poop as soon as possible, determine the situation, and issue an order based on the situation. Only Nautate and Ikarate on the deck can board the deck after hearing the alarm and rush to their designated positions.

Therefore, although the alarm sounded throughout the night sky, there was no chaos in each ship except for the necessary personnel running back and forth on the deck to rush to their respective positions.

Yu Xiaotian was awakened for the first time on his handsome ship. He immediately got up, rushed to the deck, boarded the poop, inquired about the situation, and learned that a sentinel ship was released in the southeast sea of ​​the fleet.

After catching the warning rocket, they immediately realized that there should be a large number of enemy ships heading towards their anchorage from the southeast sea.

So he immediately ordered: "Order the fleet to raise anchors and sails, and prepare for battle!..."

When three rockets emitting dazzling red light suddenly rose in the sky, the pirates on the ship approaching the anchorage suddenly became confused as if a hornet's nest had been poked.

Because they are not fools, if three rockets suddenly rise in front of them, it must mean that they have been discovered by the enemy in advance.

They really couldn't understand why the enemy could find their whereabouts at such a distance at night, but one thing was undeniable, that is, their whereabouts had been completely exposed, and subsequent sneak attacks had become meaningless.

The leaders responsible for leading the team gritted their teeth and ordered the lights on the boats to be raised. A string of red lanterns was immediately hung on the leading boats to indicate their identities.

According to their original agreement, once this kind of lantern is hung up, it means the launch of the attack. Now no one knows how many ships they have left, but looking at the surrounding sea, with the help of the moonlight on the dark sea, you can

I could vaguely see the shadows of many boats.

As soon as the pirates on these ships saw such red lanterns hung on several ships, they all shouted and began to raise the full sail, adjust the sails to catch the wind, and start to accelerate.

There were probably more than a hundred fire ships. At this time, they all raised their sails and accelerated towards the place where the rockets were raised. At this time, swaying ships began to appear quickly on the sea in the distance.

light.

These lights were the small sentinel ships cruising around the anchorage on the sea. After hearing the warning, some of the ships immediately rushed here, but not all of them.

Because Cyclops had given them an order when arranging night patrols. Once an enemy attack was discovered, some of their ships were required to assemble towards the location of the accident, while the rest of the ships continued to maintain cruising status to avoid being diverted away from the mountain and taking the opportunity to attack other enemies.

The ship passed through their cordon and attacked their anchorage.

So these ships were just some of the patrol ships. After hearing the alarm, they gathered here, and the number was probably about ten.

The first ship was the one that sent out the warning signal. They were the closest to the pirates' fire fleet, so they were the first to catch up. They were not afraid of the opponent's ships, which were a hundred times as many as theirs.

.

This patrol ship quickly grabbed the wind on the sea, increased the speed of the ship to the current extreme, and then rushed past the pirate fireship fleet.
