Pirate King System

"Be careful this time to Iron Thorn Harbor, our ship was hijacked by a man named Milo before. Captain Rudolph said to the first mate next to him.

"Yes, Captain. However, news has just come that Milo was rescued by his concubine. The first mate said.

"Joke, you believe it. The two of them in Iron Thorn Harbor were very unhappy that Master Joker was meddling in the tobacco business, after all, the tobacco business in Iron Thorn Harbor had always been done by the two of them. Maybe it's not so simple behind that robbery. Although they were forced to do so, they arrested Milo and gave us an explanation. But didn't this also let him go immediately? Look, this trip won't be so peaceful. "

Captain, there's a pirate ship not far ahead, approaching us. It's a fifth-class warship, and the flag is something I haven't seen before. At this time, the lookout of the Little Bird, which was affiliated with the Quede Chamber of Commerce, also spotted the Black Pearl and reported it to their captain Rudolph in time.

The two immediately glanced at each other and said that Cao Cao Cao would arrive.

Rudolph picked up his binoculars and looked at the Black Pearl. But it is true that there is no such ship on the information.

Moreover, this is only a small armed merchant ship, and there are no other ships to escort it, so it is not an opponent of a fifth-class ship at all.

And the distance between the two sides is very close, and when their side completes the turn, they have already caught up

and said to the first mate next to him: "Whether it is or not, contact that person immediately, ask her where she is now, and immediately rush over to support." The first mate immediately went to contact.

"Made, it's time to get so much money from us every year, it's time to work.

After a while, the first mate came back and said, "Report to the captain, she is now about two hours away,

and she is speeding up to this side."

Rudolph couldn't help but scold angrily: "Two hours, wait for her to arrive to collect our bodies."

"I'll rush again right away. The first mate hurriedly went down to get in touch.

"The gun door is open, ready for broadside battle. Let those pirates see the power of our Little Bird. I'm in charge, and after this time, each person will be given two gold coins. The

sailors responded and began to prepare for the battle.

For the two gold coins promised by the captain, no one thought that they would live to that time.

.........

At the same time, Tang Zhen's side also prepared for the battle, the left gun door was the first to be opened, and the cannon on the turret was pushed into the firing position. Then the loading of ammunition began.

The artillery of this era was extremely complex to reload, usually filled with silk medicine bags (or flannels), and then loaded with shells and corks. The main function of the wooden plug is to better seal the gunpowder gas when the gap between the shell and the barrel cannot be reduced, and at the same time to avoid the shell rolling down the barrel when firing from bumps and depression angles.

After the loading is completed, the goose feather tube is used to puncture the charge bag from the fire door, and the fuse is inserted, or the gunpowder is poured into the fire door medicine pool.

A long wooden stick was then used to lift the barrel and the wedge table was adjusted to control the pitch angle.

In addition, there are thick cables that bind the turret, which weakens the recoil created when the gun is fired.

Here, Tang Zhen used the exploration technique.

" The right rudder is full, and the T-shaped position is preempted. Tang Zhen gave another order.

In the era of cold weapons, people used the tactic of "ramming" to hit the enemy with the "angle of attack" of the bow of the galley warship, causing serious damage.

Now that the guns of the sail battleships began to be installed on ships, a large number of guns were installed on both sides of the ships. In order to exert more than half of the artillery power, people did not hesitate to increase the area of the hit.

Therefore, both sides will try their best to use the side of the hull to meet the enemy's bow or stern.

The two ships are one horizontal and one vertical, forming a T-shape.

When the two armies are fighting against each other, the fleet in the T-shaped horizontal position has a better field of vision, and it is easy to fight if it wants to, and it is easy to break away from the battlefield if it does not want to fight, and it can also intercept the enemy's advance route.

Therefore, before the war, both sides will try to seize the T-shaped prefix as much as possible.

When the two sides entered the range of artillery, Tang Zhen also failed to seize the position of the T-shape, and his ship's big turn was not as flexible as that of the Little Bird.

However, his ship was larger than his, and his firepower was fiercer, and his armor was thicker than his. Therefore, there is no cowardice at all, and direct artillery bombardment. Basically, if you hit two rounds of volleys, you will lead people to rush up to fight the broadside battle.

As the two warships kept getting closer, they could even see each other.

Tang Zhen shouted behind him, "Open the cannon!" "Open the cannon

!" "Open the cannon!"

Tang Zhen's order was conveyed layer by layer.

The sailors below began to light the fuse. "Bang

~", "Bang", "Bang",

"Bang"

Twenty cannons were fired one after another, and a large amount of smoke was carried out by the shells. Roaring and pounced on the enemy ship.

"Shells are coming, pay attention to evade. The

men of the Little Bird began to look for cover to hide

from the solid iron bullets on the ship, making one large hole after another in the wooden deck of the ship, and the flying planks flew everywhere, inflicting secondary damage on them.

There was even an unlucky ghost who was directly hit by a cannonball, and it instantly became a mosaic full of screens.

In this way, the two sides each shot each other. Then the two ships began to adjust their sails and circle in order to gain a favorable position.

And the carpenters on the ship began to carry spare materials and began to repair the broken areas. The burning area was also extinguished.

In the cabin, the loader began to reload the ammunition.

In order to ensure that the gun can be fired smoothly next time, the loader will sit on the gun door and extend half of his body to clean the chamber.

They first rotated the barrel several times with a long rod with a metal spiral to remove the unburned debris, and then inserted a wet sponge to extinguish the embers. Then there is the process of reloading ammo packs and shells.

After loading the shells, Tang Zhen immediately ordered to open fire. 20 rounds of projectiles were fired again. They inflicted even greater casualties on enemy ships.

A large amount of wood chips ran through the sailor's body. Lying on the ground with his wounds covered and wailing, the screams resounded through the sea, and the uninjured sailors began to carry the wounded sailors down to the ship's doctor for treatment.

"Captain, the cabin below us has been punched and the sea water has poured in. The carpenter has already led people down to block it. Suddenly, a boatswain came over and reported to Tang Zhen.

What the hell, I was so unlucky that I was actually punched a hole in the waterline.

"Have you arranged for someone to drain the water?" Tang Zhen asked.

"It's been arranged. Tang

Zhen didn't worry too much, it was just a small hole. The cabins are equipped with pumping and drainage.

There is a chain pump in the cabin, and the pump is equipped with a long handle, which can be used by multiple sailors to work together. These pumps are as deep as the lowest compartment from which they can pump water.

The sailor cranked the handle, and then drove the chain through the shaft, which drove the leather disc, which lifted the water up and drained it through the wooden pipes to the drains on both sides. So the pump runs at full capacity and can discharge up to thousands of litres of water per minute.

"Everyone prepares, after the third round of shelling, land the enemy ships and engage in broadside battles. "

Oh!" The sailor door below, holding weapons, responded to Tang Zhen one after another.

Pirate robbery is to loot goods, so they will not fire too many guns, first of all, the barrel is not allowed, it is easy to explode, and in case it is sunk, how to loot the goods.

Soon the third round of shelling ended.

The people on the Little Bird also knew that the battle was about to begin, so they were ready to do so.

The musketeers on Tang Zhen's side began to fire, providing fire support for those who were going to land on the enemy ship next.

When it was almost over, Tang Zhen was about to lead people to rush over.

"The captain spotted an enemy ship on his right. "
