order of war

The ships of this era belong to a type of sailing ship, and the sailing ship is divided into two states: tailwind and headwind;

At this time, the Clare is heading towards Fort Cotton in a state of headwind and countercurrent, so if the Claire sails directly towards Fort Cotton, it will inevitably cause Qin Feng and others to be more and more distant from Fort Cotton;

Therefore, in order to cope with the above situation, the Claire can only sail in a Z-shaped way on the sea, that is, the sail is obliquely used by the wind to go in other directions, and then constantly correct the course;

"Unknown ship on starboard approaching !!"

The person in charge of the lookout on the mast suddenly sounded an early warning;

After hearing the warning, everyone on the ship subconsciously looked back at the sea on the right;

I saw a small black dot, rapidly approaching the direction where the Clare was;

And the other party is sailing downwind, and the speed of the ship is almost twice that of the Claire;

The most important point is that if there are enough supplies on the Claire ship on weekdays, if you don't want to meet with the other party, you only need to turn the bow of the ship and use the wind to drive in the other direction to solve the current problem;

But at the moment, the fresh water on the Claire is in a hurry, and the hope of escaping is that he can meet an island in the sea that can replenish fresh water;

Qin Feng felt that it was more reliable to repel the "enemy" in front of him who was obviously treating himself and the others as fat sheep;

Qin Feng pondered slightly, and finally decided to release the drone that was previously used to take pictures and began to investigate the situation of the other party's vessel;

A few minutes later, a ship with a black flag appeared in front of Qin Feng's eyes;

After Qin Feng saw the other party's banner, he immediately turned to Claire and asked

, "In the center of the banner is a bird, and then there are two big bone sticks, what kind of pirate?"

"It's a bone sculpture!"

After hearing the news, Claire slapped her palm on the helm wheel, and then stared grimly at the ship that could already see the sails for a moment, and then turned to the crowd on the deck and shouted,

"Hang the flag!" Sail!! Port side ready! "

Spread the flanking jibs!!"

"Ready to resist the sponsons!!"

As Claire's orders sounded, the sailors who had been looking directly at the sea quickly began to get busy;

A moment later, a flag with the same black background and a rose in the center was hung on the top of the mast;

And the pirates below, as long as they are not in the position of controlling ships and other posts, have all taken out their own weapons;

In the picture that Qin Feng observed through the drone, a thing that could barely be called good news was seen by Qin Feng, and immediately said to Claire

, "There are very few muskets in the other party's hands, pay attention to keep your distance!"

But Claire showed a wry smile after hearing the news;

After Claire's explanation, Qin Feng suddenly realized that when the Claire was used as a transport ship by the previous Kingdom of Salen, it took all the gunpowder and other gunpowder on the ship away, and only retained a very small amount of ammunition;

At the moment, if you want to repel the invading bone carvings, the best way is to let everyone prepare for the battle;

Half an hour later, the two pirate groups officially met, and the distance between the ships of the two sides had been narrowed to 100 meters;

On the bone carved ship, the person in charge of controlling the ship was a strong man with his hands wrapped around worn bandages, while adjusting the rudder, revealing an evil expression

, "Hahaha, I didn't expect it to be a hot little sweetheart~, last time you Black Rose robbed Lao Tzu of three boats of goods, this stolen goods is now time to liquidate!"

When Claire heard the other party's words, her brows, which had already wrinkled into Sichuan characters, became more and more solidified;

But before Claire could speak, "Boom! A dull cannon sound sounded on the side of the ship, and a round iron ball fell straight onto the deck of the opponent;

And for the sudden shell attack, the bone sculpture did not show weakness, and immediately it was a left full rudder, directly aiming the side side of the hull at the Claire, revealing the seven gun ports on the side;

Then the artillery battle between the two sides was imminent;

At this time, the firepower of the opposing warship was more than several times that of the Claire, and as the artillery battle between the two sides intensified, the pirates on their own side immediately began to retreat in their hearts after discovering that there were only one or two guns on their side;

But the current bone sculpture did not intend to let go of the Claire who had reached his mouth so easily, and after three volleys of artillery fire, he quickly adjusted the angle of the sail and approached the Clare to prepare for engagement;

For the unceasing artillery fire of the bone carving, Claire had to quickly adjust the direction of the ship, and the sail that was originally forty-five degrees on the side had already been turned around, so that the hull of the ship was straight towards the incoming bone carving pirate group;

The engagement battle between the two sides was about to break out, but the people on their own ships were obviously frightened by the fierce artillery fire of the bone carvings;

Claire, who was in charge of the helm, immediately roared when she saw this scene,

"What are you still stunned for!? Opposite is the group of guys who carved the bones!

And hearing the words "bone carving" in Claire's words, those who were still hesitating and hesitating immediately began to resist vigorously;

Obviously, the incoming bone carvings did not have a good reputation among these pirates, or rather, it is not an exaggeration to describe the people on the Claire at this time as a backwater battle;

The Bone Sculpture Pirate Group, unlike other pirate groups, is famous in pirate circles for the ferocity of its members;

To give a simple example, if there is a conflict between ordinary pirates, the losing party will usually choose to let them jump into the sea, and whether they can survive on this sea depends on you;

But the bone sculpture is different, as long as you are caught, you will either cut off your hands and legs and throw them into the sea, or hang you directly on the mast;

Therefore, the fierce bone carvings outside make it almost impossible for merchant ships or peers to have a good face for them;

And the members of the bone carving pirates are mostly outlaws who are running for their lives, so this is the bone carving that has long been present;

Qin Feng looked at the bone sculpture that appeared in front of him, there was no wave on his face, there was only one ship coming, similar in size to the Claire;

This means that the number of the other party is roughly around two hundred, if it is Qin Feng one pair of two hundred, maybe Qin Feng will still be longing, but now there is almost an equal number of people on his side;

So at this moment, Qin Feng seems to be more likely to call the other party a walking & coin, and the most critical, Albert just said that the fresh water on the ship was insufficient, and the bone carving in front of him sent it to himself;

With the "boom" of the side sides of the ships, the shouts of killing also began to sound on their respective decks;

Qin Feng, on the other hand, had been half-squatting under the left side of the ship's siderail and waiting for a long time;
