At sunset, the pirate ship was overtaken!

If it really moved forward lightly, the cruiser was afraid that it would take more time, but now it can catch up in such a fast time, in addition to the role of sails, personnel, wind power, ocean currents, etc., the chief navigator Tang Mingtong pointed out the two alternates and pointed to them: "Look at the wall of that ship!" ”

The two candidates looked more closely through binoculars, and when they saw the undulations of the pirate ship, the sea creatures attached to the walls of the ship appeared, and they immediately understood.

Oysters, barnacles, sea rainbows and seaweed in the ocean are adsorbed on the sea boat, the longer they accumulate, the more this pirate ship is soaked in the sea water for at least a few months, and as a result, a lot of marine life is adsorbed on the hull, and it is not easy to deal with them, such as the adhesion of barnacles is very strong, and they must be pried down with hard metal tools, and they cannot be broken with their bare hands.

"The best solution is to dock, put the ships on wooden racks and roast them on fire, clean them out, or drag them ashore to deal with them, pirates don't have such good conditions!" Tang Mingtong gloated.

"Hmmm! Sir's right! Yan Kun remembered that a dry dock had been built in the Aceh Military Port on the Arabian Peninsula, and it was used very frequently in normal times.

Don't underestimate the dry dock, in the backward years, England built a dry dock in 1495, while France has not had a dry dock until now, as for the Chinese in the southeast, they are fanatical about building dry docks everywhere, using it to maintain ships, and finally it is mandatory that the warships and civilian ships used must have maintenance records before they can be launched!

So the red-haired pirate ship suffered in this regard, plus the heavy load, it is strange not to let the warship catch up!

Naturally, it was not a tail-of-tail chase but two ships moving in parallel, and the pirates on the pirate ship crouched behind the bulwark, their eyes shining like wolves.

The crews on both sides were waiting for this moment to come, and the Chinese were equally waiting.

The Chinese officers and men also bowed down, carefully looking at the enemy on their starboard side through the muzzles of the bulwark, and none of them would show their heads with a big grin.

Although the accuracy of the musket is poor, as long as it is aimed at the opponent, it is difficult to escape the threat.

The higher the profile you are in naval battles, the faster you will hang!

Therefore, the officers were the most unlucky, and the naval officers of that period still had to walk around with their bodies straight, and the possibility of being hit was greatly increased.

Compared with the red-haired officers, the officers of the Southeast Army do not have to dress like peacocks, they wear the same training uniforms as the soldiers, except for the epaulettes.

Yan Kun followed the captain Shi Lang to walk, the good news is that the height of this ship is better than that of the pirate ship, and the opponent attacks on the back, and it is not easy to hit them on the open deck.

The threats are constant, and the pirates are not vegetarians, they can use the snipers on the masts to hit the officers, which they are welcome, except that the positions on the masts are susceptible to the influence of the sails on both sides (the sails obstruct the sniper's view), and they are the focus of the musketeers on the open decks on both sides.

Neither ship fired a shot, and the snipers on the masts hid themselves well.

When the two ships were one hundred and fifty meters apart and were almost in a flat row, accompanied by the beating of the commanders of both sides, the cannons of both sides roared at the same time, Yan Kun listened to the sound of the cannons, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

He froze for a moment, looked at his watch according to the captain's instructions, and tried his best to distinguish the speed of the opponent's shelling, while his accomplice Jian Wenyue went down to the gun deck to help.

However, there were several marines who followed the captain and Yan Kun, each with their own division of labor, ready to block bullets for the two of them at any time.

Yan Kun reported: "Their shelling speed is two minutes and eleven seconds per shot!" ”

Such a speed is really inferior, the speed of the Chinese shelling is half of theirs!

The training of artillery is to burn silver, gunpowder burned into ashes in the smoke, and now the apprentices have caught up with the master, and the red hair fan can use their artillery skills to teach other nationalities, and the Chinese with high military expenses to train the artillery skills, so that the red hair fan has suffered thoroughly.

As soon as the battle began, the pirates fully understood that the opponent's firepower was more than 200 pounds more than theirs, and the pirate ship was blown apart by the fierce cannonballs, and the sawdust flew several people high, filling the ball, the Chinese were quite happy to see it, the pirates were painstaking, and what was even worse was that the speed of the people was twice as fast as them!

Shi Lang did not order a burst of fire, and did not even interfere too much with the artillery bombardment, leaving the artillery crews to play freely.

So the gunners fought in a hot fire, tilting the shells at each other as much as they wanted, and as long as they did not shoot empty, they fired.

The guns on both sides exchanged guns, the cannons fired, and the musketeers fired their guns at each other with the muskets in their hands during the recoil, and the sound of the cannons was interspersed with the sound of gunfire, and from time to time the screams of people rang out.

It was a one-sided attack, and the Chinese 18-pounder guns showed their might, and the cannonballs smashed into the bulwarks of the pirate ship like iron hoes, digging large holes in the walls and killing and injuring those behind.

The 12-pounder guns mounted on the open deck fired shotguns that blew like hail across the open deck of the pirate ship, preventing the pirates from looking up.

The pirates are still fighting back, but their pace has become slower due to the casualties.

Yan Kun counted the speed and found that the speed of the opponent's shelling became two and a half minutes, followed by three minutes.

The firepower output speed of the other side has always been stable at a little more than a point, and if the opponent is only beaten, we will win.

Yan Kun saw Shi Lang straighten up and open his palms in leather gloves to block in front of him, using them to prevent sawdust from splashing on his face, and his posture was calm.

He looked in his eyes and nodded secretly, understanding what an officer's demeanor was!

If you are an officer, you are as timid as a mouse, and you are afraid, if you are afraid, your subordinates will be even more afraid!

Only if you pretend to be B and your subordinates see your calm appearance, they will not be afraid.

In addition to the helmets and bulletproof vests required by the army, they also wore face shields, neck guards, crotch guards, and even wrapped their calves in leather armor, which was very exaggerated.

The southeast country has a blazing martial arts style and a developed equipment industry, and those extra things are all self-purchased, not a few.

No one is so naked to fight a war so mourning, the army is strict, and those who do not wear the most basic protective gear are severely prosecuted.

Your life is not yours, it's the Navy!

Their artillery bombardment was also lethal on our ship, but the armor on the Chinese effectively resisted the enemy's fire, and since the beginning of the battle, many people have been wounded, but no one has been killed.

Things were just as Shi Lang had imagined, the pirate ship turned its rudder violently, and the bow of the ship slammed in at a 45-degree angle!

But the helmsman of the No. 181 battleship was not bad, and he also beat the rudder, quickly escaped, and then came a left turn, which turned into the bow of the ship backwards, and at this time, the port gun fired a salvo at the pirate ship!

The onslaught of cannonballs slowed down the Corsair's momentum, and the rudder of Battleship 181 was restored, and the two ships were parallel again.

Then, the pirate ship repeatedly tried to get closer, but the Chinese warship kept avoiding it like a frightened bird, and at the same time attacked the opponent from the fierce bullets, causing the opponent's bulwark to pierce and collapse, and the sails were riddled with holes and tatters from the shotguns!

In the artillery battle, we had the upper hand, but the pirates finally found an opportunity, and a gust of wind blew, and the pirate ship suddenly approached the No. 181 battleship, and the two sides were close at hand, and at the same time, powder canisters with smoke flew up on the decks on both sides, and smashed at each other!

Bang! Iron nails and steel beads burst above everyone's heads!
