The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas
Chapter 961: Birds die for food, humans die for money
? An accident in the middle of the journey ended. When Xu Xia was sent back to the deck, Shi Lang ordered the sails. The people at various positions started to work in full swing. The agility of the movements and the accuracy of the sails were satisfactory, and the warship quickly climbed again. After getting on the high speed, he continued to hunt down the Red Hairpin pirate ship, and soon bit it again.
This made the pirates’ hope of escaping disappear. The two ships chased on the vast ocean. Yan Kun looked up at the sun. The sun was still high from the horizon. He had already walked back and forth between the bow tower and the cannon a hundred times. , Was very excited about the first battle, thinking that the sun hadn't fallen much, even as if staying still, and projecting the light between the bottom of the bowed midmast sail and the stringer like a joke, fortunately leaving the enemy ship Getting closer.
During the pursuit, everything on the battleship 181 was normal. When the first squad started, people had dinner on time.
Have dinner on time?
During the sailing period, the sailing of ships is really slow. Even if it is face to face and the wind direction is not beautiful, everyone may not meet for a long time. Even if it is downwind, you and I will walk, and the wind direction is unpredictable. The wind speed and direction in different regions It's different. Even if you connect the wrong sail, it will cause you to lose speed. Anyway, there are too many factors that affect the speed of the ship.
The approach distance is one hour and one kilometer or two kilometers. Fortunately, it is a few kilometers. Sometimes it can be called turtle speed. If it is ten kilometers apart, how long does this distance take?
So, you can go to dinner, don’t worry that the enemy will interrupt your meal.
The Chinese are as orderly as usual, while the Hong Maofan in front is more tormented. Their eyes are fixed on the Chinese battleship behind. The layered sails on it are very spectacular, dazzling in the sun, and the white lines on the ship are even more impressive. It's dazzling, and it makes people feel that it is faster.
This made the pirates hated and annoyed even more. They felt like they were being chased by cats. They begged God and wished that God would punish the Chinese ships to destroy them!
The pirates are also eating. They are not as good as the Chinese supply. Rum sees water easily. They drank rotten water and ate stinky and hard biscuits. If they were soaked in water, they would give off. It smells like dung!
If you had eaten this kind of food before, you could still imagine selling stolen goods to eat a big meal in the future, but now the Chinese are pressing and the pirates are depressed and difficult to swallow.
The captain of the Emmons, Hart, is an old pirate. He doesn't know how bad he is. When the Chinese catch up, they will be defeated without fighting!
So he assembled his manpower to keep everyone busy and make adjustments.
The sound of drums, the sound of footsteps running barefoot on the hollow deck, the echo of the deck, everyone returned to their posts, and then the letter was the long process of adding auxiliary sails to the mid-mast and upper-mast sails, and at the same time, they were also given back. The mast section is equipped with additional protective back braces (because the experienced Hart decided to hang more sails at night and suddenly used force to get rid of the Chinese warship).
It takes time and effort to complete these tasks, such as the degree of unfolding, tightness and angle of the sail, and countless small adjustments. People yelled and worked hard, intentionally or unintentionally forgetting the approach of the Chinese warship.
But the sun still hung in the sky and refused to set. The pirates lived like years, watching the Chinese warships get closer, closer, closer!
It is loaded with enough sails, especially in the rear part of the ship. It is very powerful, and everything on the ship seems to be made of steel. It has neither broken the mast nor lost the rigging (this Pirates are often used. Because of the poor quality of the cable rods used, they often break due to long-term sun and rain, and they have to be constantly repaired), and there is no sudden operation that the pirates are looking forward to accidentally appearing. Turning horizontally, everything is so perfect, it seems that the Chinese are quite experienced.
Indeed, the battleship No. 181 was so busy that Jian Wenyue even took out the violin and played it when he was not on duty. He learned this trick from the Hong Maofan instructor in the military academy. The military academy requires everyone to be well-trained, and Jian Wenyue learned the violin. As for Yan Kun, he learned to play the yaoqin. The yaoqin is suitable for wearing white clothes floating in the mountains and wearing B, and the violin is suitable for all places.
Jian Wenyue played well, his **** was proficient, the piano sound was melodious, and the tune was smooth, everyone listened very happily.
However, he did not forget his work. Shi Lang looked at the weather and greeted everyone: "Deck, lower the sail, the lower the better. Okay, pull that rope."
As the wind increases, we have to wind up our sails, otherwise everyone will be in trouble!
It's about to catch up with the Hong Maoban boat, just waiting to fire!
"The cannon is in place!" The gunner on the battleship 181 even ordered preparations, which made Yan Kun very excited. His eyes were bright and he stared at the pirate ship closely. Shi Lang said to him at this time: "You follow me. , Take a watch to record the speed of the enemy ship’s cannon!"
"Yes, sir!" Yan Kun responded quickly, he was a bit good, not arrogant at all but obeyed orders.
"Boom! Boom!" With two cannons, the other party fired!
The pirates used 12 guns as a stern shell, but the battleship No. 181 was unmoved at all and moved forward like a beast!
Solid bullets, two by two launches, that is, twenty shots may not be able to sink the opponent within a few hours. The threat of two cannonballs, unless they are lucky enough to hit some key point, otherwise, just go ahead!
Sure enough, the pirates firing a cannon is equivalent to firing a P---there is no lethality, and they just stopped fighting for a while.
Without the annoying cannons, everything was easy. Yan Kun saw that his comrades were busy and on guard. Some people were still eating and drinking—before the battle, the Chief Secretary gave everyone beef jerky and pork. Dry snacks, nuts and other snacks are also an aspect that the Navy is envied by other arms. There are a lot of snacks and they are free!
The deputy captain, Captain Chen Bangguo, ran to the captain and reported that everything was ready, and the brothers had put on the armor as required.
"They will soon enter the range of our artillery, and they will not abandon the cargo to increase the speed of the ship?" Deputy Captain Chen Bangguo was surprised: "When is the time, the pirates don't want to live anymore?"
"No!" Shi Lang said sharply, "What they want is to beat us with help!"
Shi Lang calmly said: "Let the brothers prepare the guns and bombs!"
"Yes!" Chen Bangguo went to implement it.
In a narrow encounter, the brave wins ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In naval battles, the victory or defeat is often distinguished by melee. The pirates really rely on the idea of helping to grab the ship. They even passed a vote, that is whether to abandon the goods or not What about abandoned goods?
It is a little ironic that there is democracy on board the Rambucans. If their captain is vacant, it is mainly by voting. The captain is elected by voting, and major issues must also be voted on.
The result of this vote is not to abandon the goods!
Even if you die, you don’t abandon your goods. These days, the landlord’s family has no surplus, and it’s not easy to be a pirate.
NO!
I don’t want it, I have one, Hold!
