Watching the Dawn
Vol 7 Chapter 89: Running away
——————
Brig's Brig "Sea Wolf" ():
As a commercial vessel, the brigantine was a common cargo ship in the early days. Although it is not as good as a schooner, it can sail in the wind, but as a schooner, under the command of an experienced captain, it can completely achieve "elegant and comfortable" control, and the two-masted schooner can even make a U-turn. Because of the speed and easy maneuverability, the brigantine has also become a commonly used vessel type for pirates.
Super four-star, legendary battleship!

"Appraisal" is not just a gold finger provided to contractors, aborigines also have a way to get details of the ship's attributes.
"Boarding, captain, boarding is our only chance." August whispered.
Don't look at the blood-rushing performance he just did. Auguste is actually a very thoughtful person, which does not match his rugged appearance. He sighed secretly, thinking about his share of up to 25,000 pesos, even if it is desperately worth it! Although the most real idea in his heart is-we better turn around and run now, because the performance of the ships on both sides is not comparable at all!
Auguste is the owner of the Kraken, the performance of this ship. He knows better than anyone.
The other party is a legendary super four-star warship, regardless of speed or steerability, it is much larger than the normal Brig Brig! And as a battleship for promotion to legend, it must also have magical special "attributes"-that kind of thing may be useless "night lighting", or it may be a "diving course" against the sky! No one knows without coming out.
Of course, without calculating that special "attribute", the performance can also throw the intact "Siren" out of seven or eight streets! Not to mention the "Siren" now injured? Not to mention that the other party is equipped with 24 32-pounder guns! The projectile weight of that kind of gun is double that of Kraken! As long as it hits five or six rounds, the "Siren" can become a pile of marine garbage.
The 16-pound long barrel gun on the Kraken may not be able to penetrate the other party's hull. Auguste really doesn't know how to win.
I just don't know why. The manpower brought by the other party is not much. Only 70% of the full sailors became the only weakness that the Seawolf could see. There are more than one hundred sailors on this ship. If they can jump, drag the "Sea Wolf" into a melee combat. "Siren" may also have a ray of life.
"Listen to my command." Lu Yuan looked at the "Sea Wolf" about to enter the 100-meter circle. Photographed Auguste's back, "Go take your people and hide under the upper deck. Tell everyone to hide, we will move forward in the gunfire in a while."
August smiled, saluted, and prepared to leave. For a month, he has become more and more convinced of the young noble captain, and he has even begun to plan to give up the opportunity to become a captain, and has been his first officer. Although he was still worried just now, once Lu Yuan assigned him a job he didn't understand, he was surprisingly relieved. Every time at this time, it was Lu Yuan who wanted to perform his magic.
"Wait," Lu Yuan stopped him again, pointing at the deck helplessly, the three ladies who followed the sailor in a hurry, "I can't hand them over. Take them and protect them! When necessary , You can just tie it up and put it in the bottom bin! If they get a little damaged ... Dear August, think about your share! "
"Oh, isn't this embarrassing me! It's your captain's heart, how dare I move those chicks!", August looked around at a loss, suddenly his eyes lit up and saw Jacques squatting beside him! At this time, Jacques was holding a bottle of rum in his hand for the purpose of healing, and he was already drunk.
Auguste pulled him, deliberately avoided Lu Yuan, and went to the side to discuss.
Sure enough, in a short while, the three women were dragged into the cabin by Jacques' stunned head, who was really **** with rope! Who said Auguste was a rectum? That fool of Jacques was considered completely pitted by August! After the three women retaliated, he suffered! Lu Yuan secretly said to himself, "I absolutely never gave that order! Absolutely!"
He shook his head and switched his mind to the situation in front of him. "Port, prepare for shelling!" Then he said in a voice that others could not hear, "I can bring a computer without you!"
(The Jackdaw with a computer is a ridicule for the missile-like shelling in the game. In the novel, the Jackdaw is still a legendary ship, and the special attribute she possesses is "Precise Strike" .)
It is difficult for the 16-pound gun to damage the Sea Wolf at this distance. Lu Yuan raised the shooting angle and adjusted the target to the sail of the other party. After a volley, eight rounds of artillery flew over the enemy ship accurately. The "sea wolf" was located at the third mast of the stern section, broken reluctantly, and then fell over.
After the Kraken was fired, the hull of the Seawolf was also adjusted. The eleven 32-pound cannons on their starboard side also carried out a stunning volley!
It is a pity that at a distance of 100 meters, the Seawolf did not have such accuracy as the Jackdaw and Luyuan.
The cannonballs fell into the water around the Kraken, and all were lost.
But the sound of the shells passing by, and the towering columns of water that splashed when hitting the water still made the sailors on the Kraken pale. The power of this shell is far from comparable to a 16-pound projectile. Both the range and power are beyond the imagination.
Lu Yuan turned the sail a little, allowing the "Siren" to hide again behind the smoke from the gunfire.
Just when the crew thought that Lu Yuan would reapply the trick and hid in the smoke, it was very cumbersome for another bombardment. Lu Yuan slowly adjusted the direction of the Kraken. Drive away from the "Sea Wolf" ... escape? ! Is this an escape? Actually escaped!
The crew looked at the captain with some consternation. Perhaps the captain turned the bow next time and killed a carbine? !
But Lu Yuan didn't explain it at all, and the Kraken was also steadily moving in a direction outside the battlefield.
And when Lu Yuan frowned and felt the speed of the ship, he actually said, "Our speed is too slow! Throw away all the water!" He stopped slightly, and then shouted, "The gunners, I need you to do it. The following things! "Lu Yuan looked at the guns waiting for his command," Push all the artillery into the sea! "
"No !!! Captain ..." The gunners couldn't believe what they heard, they were in an uproar!
"Go!" Lu Yuanmeng glared and shouted. Suppressed everyone's voice. "Remember your vow ?! Obey orders!"
After that, the deck fell into a brief silence.
Immediately, the gunners of the first and second groups acted first, and they followed Lu Yuan for the longest time. The gunner walked silently to his cannon. Start to untie the upper cable. Pull out the latch ...
Because the Kraken has no fully enclosed artillery deck. The artillery is arranged on the open deck, and it is actually very easy to advance into the sea.
When two heavy sounds of falling into the sea were heard, the rest of the artillery had to act. Gunners of the first and second groups. Did not do anything else. After they pushed the cannon into the sea, they stood blankly on the side of the boat, watching the waves splashed when the cannon fell into the sea, and wept bitterly.
The gunners lived with the artillery and lived together, life and death, and there was a very deep feeling between the two.
He pushed the fighting partner into the sea by hand, and in a blink of an eye, there was a choking voice on the deck.
"There are shells!" Lu Yuan seemed to not see the state of the gunners, and continued to give orders coldly, urging the gunners to execute.
As each of the 20 artillery pieces approaching three tons was pushed down the deck, and the 16-pound shells approaching ten tons, the speed of the ship was suddenly brisk, slightly throwing away the chasing "Sea Wolf" a little distance ...
"They want to run away?" Edward Low said mockingly.
Watching the other party throw away a lot of artillery in order to escape! The pirates on this ship cheered indulgently, and even the depression that had been taken by the head was relieved a lot.
Edward was angered by the sniping of the gun just now. The accuracy of the opponent's artillery is beyond the elite, and it has also awakened Edward's light enemy!
Edward is an ambitious person! He used to be the captain of a patrol boat in the British Navy. When he felt the pressure of seniority in the navy, he resolutely left the navy and fled to the pirate Morgan. He was quickly appreciated by Morgan and became his youngest ship. Long, in charge of the legendary battleship "Sea Wolf"!
It can be said that this kind of respect is unique, and Morgan is not so good with his son.
But when the British government showed worries about Morgan's power, Edward once again left Morgan without hesitation and returned to the arms of the British Navy. Not only did he reaccept his new official position and title, he also carried the banner of splitting Morgan's forces with one hand.
Now he is a jazz specially awarded by the British royal family. As long as Morgan is loyal to the United Kingdom and wants to start and end, he will never dare to move him directly.
As for this mission, Morgan wanted to make him and the Kraken lose both hearts and minds. Edward pondered it all! It also made him happy to discover that this legendary pirate king was politically naive.
Edward has already thought about stepping up to Morgan's plan step by step!
As the most cunning captain, Edward never thought of going directly with the Kraken. He first used the power of Britain to promote Lu Yuan's actions against all pirates into actions against the Nassau Pirate Port, so he easily provoked Nassau's counterattack.
Later, when the ship of Nassau and the Kraken were both defeated, he Shi Shiran entered the battlefield, preparing to harvest the fruits of victory.
When he led the appearance of "Sea Wolf" ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Nassau's ship seized the opportunity to escape from the battlefield, he hesitated for a while, and finally, due to some news, he chose to eliminate the "Sea" first. "Demon", otherwise he will destroy the two ships together.
The unexpected shelling made Edward take it completely. He is a very experienced captain and instantly judged several offensive intentions of Kraken! So he made a few pre-judgments and avoids with the help of thick smoke, but did not wait for the expected bombardment ... When he left the smoke, he actually saw ... escape? !
It's ridiculous! In his eyes, he can clearly distinguish the performance gap between the two ships! That can't be smoothed out by dropping the cannon! Moreover, the ship chose to go straight back to the direction of the Sea Wolf, and even fled against the wind ... now it is slow like a snail! It's a fool!
"Chase! Tear her to pieces!" Edward ordered loudly.
"She has at least half a million pesos on it!" Edward did not say this sentence, which is why he chose the "Siren".
Morgan always likes to reap the fruits of others' victory at the end, because this is the so-called "Morgan tax". (To be continued ...)
