Section 961 Birds die for food, and people die for wealth

An accident on the way ended, when Xu Shrimp was sent back to the deck, Shi Lang ordered the sails, and the people at all posts were in full swing, the agility of the movements and the accuracy of the sails were satisfactory, and the warship soon climbed to the high speed again, continued to chase and kill the Hongmaofan pirate ship, and soon bit it again.

This made the pirates' hope of escape come to naught, the two ships chased on the vast ocean, Yan Kun looked up at the sun, the sun was still high above the horizon, he had already walked back and forth between the bow tower and the cannon a hundred times, excited for the first battle, thinking that the sun still did not set much, and even seemed to stop still as if joking to cast the light between the bottom of the bow mast sail and the boom, fortunately closer and closer to the enemy ship.

In the course of the pursuit, everything was normal on the battleship 181, and when the first shift began, people ate dinner on time.

Dinner on time?

The sail period of the ship is really slow, even if it is face-to-face, if the wind direction is not beautiful, we may not be able to touch the head for a long time, even if it is downwind, you go I will go, and the wind direction is unpredictable, the wind speed and wind direction are different in different regions, and even if you pick up the wrong sail, it will lead to the speed is not fast, anyway, there are too many factors that affect the speed of the ship.

The approach distance is one kilometer per hour or two kilometers for good luck is several kilometers, sometimes it can be called turtle speed, if it is ten kilometers apart, think about how much time it takes to reach this distance?

So, go to dinner, don't worry that the enemy will disturb your meal.

The Chinese were as orderly as usual, while the red-haired fans in front were doubly tormented, and their eyes were fixed on the Chinese warship behind them, the layers of sails on it were very spectacular, brilliant in the sun, and the white lines on the ship were even more dazzling, making people feel that it was faster.

This made the pirates even more hated and annoyed, feeling like they were being chased by cats, and they begged God to punish the Chinese ships for destruction!

The pirates are also cooking, they are not as good as the supplies of the Chinese, there is rum seeping water is easy to lower the stomach, they drink rotten water, eat smelly and hard biscuits, if soaked in water, the smell is like dung!

If before, eating such food could still fantasize about selling stolen goods and eating a big meal in the future, but now that the Chinese are pressing, the pirates are depressed and difficult to swallow.

Hart, the captain of the "Emmons", is an old pirate, who doesn't know what is wrong, such a situation will be defeated if the Chinese catch up!

So he gathered his people and kept everyone busy to make adjustments.

The sound of drums, the footsteps of running barefoot on the hollow deck, the echo of the deck, everyone returned to their posts, and then the long process of adding auxiliary sails to the mid-mast and upper mast sails, as well as the addition of additional protective bolsters to the upper mast necks (for the experienced Hart decided to hang more sails at night, and suddenly exerted his strength to get rid of the Chinese battleship).

It took time and effort to complete all these tasks, such as the degree of unfolding of the sails, the degree of tightness and angle, etc., and countless small adjustments, and people shouted and tried, consciously or unconsciously, to forget the approach of the Chinese warship.

But the sun still hung in the sky and refused to set, and the pirates lived like years, watching the Chinese warships get closer and closer, closer and closer!

It carried plenty of sails, especially in the rear of the ship, which was full of wind and mighty, and everything on the ship seemed to be made of steel, and it did not break the mast or lose its rigging (which the pirates often had, because of the poor quality of the ropes used, and the long exposure to the sun and rain made them break often, and they had to be repaired constantly), nor did there be the sudden sideways rotation of the operation that the pirates were hoping for, everything was so perfect that it seemed that the Chinese were experienced enough.

Indeed, the No. 181 battleship was so tidy, Jian Wenyue even took out the violin and played it when he was not in class, he learned this trick from the red-haired instructor in the military academy, the military academy requires everyone to be cultivated, Jian Wenyue learned the violin, as for Yan Kun, he learned to play the yaoqin, the yaoqin is suitable for white clothes fluttering in the mountains and wilderness B, and the violin is suitable for all places.

Jian Wenyue played well, he was proficient in fingering, the piano sound was melodious, and the music was smooth, and everyone was very happy to listen to it.

But he didn't forget his work, Shi Lang looked at the weather and beckoned everyone: "Deck, lower the canopy sail, the lower the better, okay, quickly pull that sail rope." ”

The wind is stronger, you have to put away some sails, otherwise everyone will be in trouble!

It's about to catch up with the red-haired boat, just waiting for the cannon to fire!

"The cannon is in place!" The gun captain on the battleship No. 181 even ordered preparations, which made Yan Kun quite excited, his eyes lit up, staring at the pirate ship tightly, at this time Shi Lang said to him: "You follow me, take the watch and be responsible for recording the speed of the enemy ship's cannons!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Yan Kun quickly responded, he was a little good, he was not arrogant at all but obeyed orders.

"Boom! Rumble! "Two cannon shots, the other side fired!

The pirates used 12 guns as stern bombardment, and the 181 battleship was unmoved, advancing like a beast of prey!

Solid shells, two two fires, that is, twenty shells may not be able to sink the opponent for a few hours, the threat of two shells, unless they are super lucky to hit something, otherwise, just rush!

Sure enough, the pirates fired cannons were equivalent to putting P --- had no lethality, so they simply stopped fighting for a while.

There is no annoying cannon sound, everything is very easy, Yan Kun saw that his comrades were busy and vigilant, some people were still eating and drinking---- before the battle, the secretary general gave everyone snacks such as beef jerky, pork jerky, nuts, etc., which is also an aspect of the navy that is envied by other arms, there are many 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 their armor as required.

"They will soon be within range of our artillery and not drop cargo to increase the speed of the ship?" Captain Chen Bangguo, the deputy captain of the ship, was surprised: "When is it, the pirates don't want to live?" ”

"No!" Shi Lang hit the nail on the head and said: "What they want is to beat us by help!" ”

Shi Lang said calmly: "Let the brothers prepare muskets, as well as bombs!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Bangguo went to implement it.

The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and in naval battles, it is close combat that can often tell the winner at once, and the pirates are indeed fighting the idea of helping to grab ships, and they even went through a vote, that is, to abandon the goods or not to abandon the goods?

It's a bit ironic that there is democracy on the Red-haired Pirate ship, and if there is a vacancy in their captainship, it is mainly by voting, and the captain is elected by voting, and major events are also decided by voting.

The result of this vote is no abandonment!

Kill and don't abandon the goods, these years the landlord's family has no surplus food, and it is not easy to be a pirate, they have worked hard to earn a little benefit, but they don't want it when they are close to the door?

NO!

If you don't have the goods, you have a life, hold on!
