Chapter 53: Danger
"Please give the order immediately, change course, and retreat back at full speed!"
Tang Yinbrown almost roared and said this, and at this moment, he couldn't care about his identity as the captain.
At this time, the front was still shrouded in thick fog, and it was impossible to see what was approaching. But his instincts told him it had to be a warship.
With such a speed in the face of headwinds, the armament of this ship should be much higher than that of the Fir.
From this moment on, what the Fir wants to guard against is no longer a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
That being the case, when the two armies met, he should have taken over the command.
And the enemy ships approaching at full speed in front of them faded out of the fog little by little: blue-black ironclad warships, black sails, black flags, black masts......
A giant pirate ship about three times the size of the Fir appeared in front of him, and Song Luyao looked up at it, standing there for a while, completely forgetting Tang Yinbrown's order.
Seeing this, Tang Yinbrown grabbed Song Luyao with a calm face, and actually lifted the already thin captain up.
Startled, there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and his body took off, Song Luyao came back to his senses, and his eyes were still a little sloppy: "I'll just give orders." ”
In the upper room, Ah Zi couldn't resist Bao'er, and walked out of the bedroom wearing gold wire armor, and before she got to Bao'er's side, she felt a pause under her feet, and the whole person was thrown forward.
With the crisp sound of cups and saucers shattering around her, the dull crashing sound of heavy furniture outside the wall, and the undulating shouts and confused shouts, Ah Zi stood up on her knees in the chaos, and saw that Bao'er in front of her was also straightening up, rubbing the back of her neck with one hand, frowning and looking out, muttering: "There is a situation outside." ”
As soon as the door was opened, Bao'er collided with Ah Zhong who was rushing over, Ah Zhong hurriedly held Bao'er with both hands, looked at her and Ah Zi back and forth, and said hurriedly after making sure that neither of them was injured: "The ship suddenly changed its course, from downwind to headwind." There must be an enemy outside, stay in the room and don't come out, I'll go up and take a look. ”
After that, despite Bao'er opening her mouth to refute, she closed the door and left.
How could Bao'er be such an obedient master, when Tang Yinzhong left with her front foot, she pushed open the door and was about to step out.
"Bao'er!"
Ah Zi shouted, reaching out to stop Bao'er from going out.
Seeing this, Bao'er turned around, smiled and gently patted Ah Zi's hand on her shoulder, and said, "I'll be fine, you wait here for a while, I'll go, and I'll be back soon." ”
After saying that, he disappeared from Ah Zi's sight.
Ah Zi was left alone to pace anxiously back and forth in the room, wanting to simply go to the deck like Ah Zhong and Bao'er to find out, but also considering that he had no kung fu to get around, and going up would not only not help others, but would increase their burden.
But in this way, the enemy is present, but he seems to be blindfolded, he only knows that the situation is critical, but he doesn't know what the situation is outside, and his heart can only hang there, neither up nor down.
Bang!
A loud bang came, and at the same time, there was a violent shock under his feet, and Ah Zi fell down again.
The sound was heard for a long time, and at the same time, the shrill and piercing roar continued to hover in Ah Zi's mind.
Ah Zi reached out and pounded his temples hard, trying to alleviate the tinnitus and headache, but in vain.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the template breaking, and the creak of the crack opening.
I don't know where the cracking sound came from, but I can be sure that the cabin is broken somewhere.
I'm afraid it's dangerous to stay here any longer.
With such a thought, Ah Zi couldn't wait any longer, and rushed out of the door quickly, running towards the entrance of the deck.
Unlike the empty cabins, the deck was now like a town where the enemy had entered, and the crew fled in panic, shouting incessantly.
"Ah Zi!"
Ah Zhong's shout came from her ears, Ah Zi turned her head in the voice, and then she heard a click on her side, and a gust of wind picked up a few strands of hair between her sideburns.
She jerked her head and saw a short knife plunging deep into the deck, and a feathered arrow that had been cut in two was rolling back and forth.
That arrow, almost pierced his head?
Ah Zi looked in the direction where the short knife was flying, and saw Ah Brown who had just come down from the lookout at the moment.
Seeing Ah Zi looking at her steadily, Ah Ah Ah waved her hands and made a gesture to tell her to leave the place quickly.
Ah Zi forced his chest, which was still beating wildly because of the arrow just now, nodded stiffly, and looked around in a panic to find a place to hide.
Again, there was the sound of arrows slicing through the air.
Ah Zi was stunned there, but he was stiff, and he didn't know how to respond.
A hand that reached out out out of nowhere pulled Ah Zi to the side. Ah Zi fell, and the bamboo arrow slashed over her head, only a fraction of a centimeter between her forehead.
After being dragged and dragged to a high stacked cargo box, Ah Zi tried to calm down, and found that Bao'er was squatting beside her, her hand still holding Ah Zi's wrist, and when she saw Ah Zi staring at her, she smiled at her.
Ah Zi just wanted to speak, but Bao'er pulled her side again, so she obediently leaned in her direction again.
"It's a pirate ship," said Boa, her eyes looking out through the slit in the crate, "and there are two guns on the other side's ship. ”
Bao'er's voice was not loud, but Ah Zi gasped when she heard it.
Ah Brown and Ah Zhong had already reminded Ah Zi that she was not so surprised to meet pirates now, but the other party's well-equipped equipment far exceeded her expectations.
Artillery was used?
Was that loud noise in the cabin just now the sound of cannonballs being fired?
If this is the case, then hasn't the Fir been shot?
Now it seems that the hull of the ship is not obviously tilting or sinking, that is, although the hull has been shot, it has not reached the point of sinking?
Originally amazed by the luxury of the Fir's interior, there was now an added layer of awe for its defensive capabilities.
But now is obviously not the time to celebrate, Bao'er continued with a solemn expression: "Of the two shells fired just now, one missed, and the other grazed the stern.
"Brother Ah Zhong should have shot their gunner, and now the other party has finally temporarily ceased fire, but it is only a matter of time before he reloads into battle, it is too far away, and our ship is just an ordinary seafaring ship, relying only on the weak resistance of bows and arrows is a drop in the bucket, I am afraid that if it goes on like this, we can only sit back and wait for death."
Ah Zi looked in the direction of the pirate ship in front of him, only to realize that the enemy ship was already so close
Although the Fir was retreating at full speed, it was still unable to catch up with the other party.
Unlike the other people on the boat, with Ah Zi's eyesight, even through the dense fog, he could clearly see the situation on the other party's boat.
At this time, the people standing on the lookout platform of the enemy ship made Ah Zi a little breathless.
