231. Fight whale sharks with wisdom

When I look closely, wow! That's not a great white shark, it's a whale shark! Rushing towards the starboard side of our flagship! If it hits us head-on, our ship may not capsize, but it will definitely suffer!

In the darkness of the night, I screamed, "Speed up!" Lan! Hasten! "At the same time, I took out a hidden weapon from the outside of my right thigh - the one that the third uncle gave me in the Ming Dynasty, and threw it at the head of the whale shark!

My throwing knife has a strong internal strength, and even if it flies a distance of 15 meters, it can score three points! But when it hit the head of this whale shark, it couldn't even wipe out a white mark! I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, why is this thing so strong?

In such a blink of an eye, this terrifying whale shark has approached the position of the flagship at seven or eight meters! Its mouth is open behind its cheeks, and its width is more than 1.5 to 1.7 meters! If I get close to it, I have no doubt that this guy will be able to swallow me in one bite, and I definitely won't even have room to struggle!

Arashi didn't answer my cry, but the helmsman and sailman did not hesitate to carry out my order, they quickly set the sail sideways, and the ship began to speed up gradually! But that's still not enough to get rid of the dreaded whale shark completely! If this guy bites the hull of the boat, it must be a mouthful!

The whale shark had already chased it to four meters behind the flagship! Its body began to sink slightly, which was a prelude to a pounce! I pulled out the boy cut, and I could only fight! At the moment when the whale shark was about to jump, there was a sudden "bump" of a gunshot overhead, and it turned out that he heard the movement, climbed to the top of the cabin, and shot the whale shark in the head!

This huge whale shark let out a non-existent hiss, and its huge body suddenly retracted, and the original momentum of the attack turned into a turn on the spot, turning over in the air, and falling into the sea with a "plop" sound!

By the time it surfaced again, it was already twenty meters away from our flagship! The whale shark was furious and began to slam into our ship at a faster speed than before!

I turned back to the scorching and shouted, "Well done!" Give me a gun! ”

Soon a musketeer from the musket team handed me a musket. I aimed at the whale shark's head and fired a shot at its eye in the darkness!

Hit! The whale shark seemed to twist its body and was in pain, but it wasn't serious! The cunning creature was injured and quickly dived, and its dorsal fin disappeared into the sea in an instant!

"Did it escape?" Kite asked in a trembling voice. She had only seen such a big monster in her life, let alone being so close to herself just now!

I shook my head and said, "No! It must still be chasing below the surface! Sharks are the kind of thing that holds grudges the most. Let's hurt it, I'm afraid it will chase after it sleepless until it is exhausted! ”

Lan had already rushed to my side and asked with trepidation, "Sir, I often see sharks on the sea, but how can there be such a big shark?" ”

I shook my head and smiled wryly, "There are many species of sharks. Bull sharks, tiger sharks and great white sharks are the main ones you see, and the largest of these sharks is seven or eight meters long. But the one we just saw, if I'm not bad, should be quite a rare whale shark! ”

Everyone couldn't help frowning, under the basis of modern biology, they didn't expect that there were so many classifications of sharks in the sea. But since I said so, it must be.

So I continued: "Whale sharks are the biggest sharks and the biggest fish! Usually about fifteen steps long, the largest body is thirty steps long! The one we saw just now is just over thirty-five paces long! It can be called the giant of whale sharks! ”

The kite continued, "But aren't all fish afraid of boats?" Why is this stupid fish not afraid? ”

I stared at the huge black shadow under the water behind me, and said in a deep voice: "The store is a big bully, and the customer is a big bully." This fish can be said to be a spirit, and it is not afraid of people at all! Some places call this whale shark the wolf of the sea, the human killer, the mysterious killer of the sea", or the shipwreck butcher, and there are many tragedies in the far and near seas caused by this thing! ”

Arashi said, "It's so terrible! Do we just take it and chase it down? I don't think it's going to be as fast as it can be, and if it pounces on us while we're not paying attention, the consequences will be terrible! Mr! ”

I nodded and said, "Exactly!" We can't just mess around with it like that! You have to find a way to eliminate this big guy! ”

Lan snorted, and then wondered: "But this big guy looks very cunning!" After being shot twice, he immediately hid underwater, how can we attack it? ”

"I don't think this whale shark looks like it's afraid of bullets!" ”

I hammered the railing hard, gritted my teeth and said, "If you're not afraid of bullets, then use cannonballs!" I'd like to see if this guy is immortal! ”

After saying that, I said to Arashi, "Let the other three boats go at full speed and move in the direction of the forty-five degrees incline!" The flagship slowed down slightly, well, at three-quarters speed, I guess it's about the same as this monster! Wait for the moment it shows its head, and order the other ships to open fire! ”

Lan thought for a moment, bit her lip and suggested, "The flagship is the foundation of our fleet, and we can't use it as bait like this!" After speaking, he looked at me and smiled: "That's it, sir, I'll take the No. 3 ship to be bait, and you can command the shooting!" ”

I frowned and said, "How can there be any reason to let the girl's family be bait!" Do as I say! ”

At this moment, a voice sounded next to him: "I'd better go!" ”

We looked in the direction of the sound together, but we didn't know when Mavi came to us. This guy looked at me and said, "The people under my command are willing to be bait for the sake of the leader, and I have to say that this is rare and great." But I will say that I am an expert when it comes to dealing with these guys! Let me go! ”

I smiled and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Mavi pointed to the dark shadow hanging us in the distance and said, "According to my observation, this whale shark should be a female shark, and it is about to give birth. It is said that baby sharks start killing each other in their mother's belly, so the mother shark is extremely aggressive at this time! ”

I nodded, and Mavi was basically right, and motioned for him to continue. The dagger in Mavi's right hand played with a knife flower, and then pointed in the direction of the shark and said, "The shark is four years pregnant and only has its next cub, so this is quite a valuable asset!" We've got to get rid of this hostile whale shark, but the shark cub she's alone is a precious thing, and we have to get our hands on it! So, let me go! Others won't! ”

I stared into Mavi's eyes, and the guy looked quite confident. I know that this is also a great opportunity for him to give me a letter, after all, what better way to gain the trust of others than to risk his life to do something?

Seeing me staring at him, Mavi showed a faint smile and said, "Don't worry! Captain, as long as you cooperate properly, it's actually not that difficult! ”

I hummed and said loudly: "In the whale shark battle, the fleet obeys the command of Mavi!" ”

There was no objection. On the sea, it is not a place to talk about seniority, but about strength. Seeing that everyone did not object, Ma Wei quickly talked about his combat ideas, in fact, it can be summed up in two words: "Kite!" ”

I agreed with his tactics and the action began immediately!

Mavi climbed onto the No. 3 ship through the rope set up between the two boats, and as bait, he commanded the No. 3 ship to slow down to about three-quarters of the way, while the other boats advanced in the two directions of the left front and the right front for a while, and then adjusted the direction, from the "outer figure-of-eight" formation to the "inner figure-of-eight" formation!

In this way, at least two-thirds of the guns on the three ships, including the flagship, could fire! And it can maintain a certain forward speed, so as not to be caught up by this big guy as a supper!

Behind Mavi's ship, a huge black shadow is rapidly approaching! Under the wolf style, the terrifying black shadow took up almost half the size of the third ship!

Just as the shadow was about to rise, I shouted, "Artillery ready!" Fifty steps from sea level, angle horizontal! After shouting, I continued to stare at the movement of the dark shadow. Not again! That charged twisted stance! I shouted, "Ignition!" ”

A sharp whistle sounded, and the gunners of the three boats, having heard the whistle, lit the fuses of the guns together!

Just when the "hiss" of the lead was about to burn to the end, the black shadow finally broke out! Half of his body was in the air, and he swooped towards the stern of the third ship!

"Boom, boom!" The roar of artillery rang out! Dozens of shells shot at the dark shadow! Since it was shooting in the dark, the accuracy was not very good. I could see what seemed to be one or two shells hitting the big guy, but they weren't fatal! Under the action of its firm texture, thick and smooth skin, and the angle is too large, the ricocheting phenomenon occurred!

More shells fell in the water behind the whale shark because they didn't grasp the amount in advance, causing a splash!

No way! This thing is really going to be fine!

The black shadow fell back into the sea, but it could be seen that it was still chasing the third ship relentlessly! The third ship knew that there was a gap in the shooting, so it consciously increased its speed, and the distance between them and the whale shark slowly widened again!

I gritted my teeth and secretly screamed, "Damn! Then he shouted, "Reload!" ”

The gunners hurriedly started a new round of reloading, and after about a minute, the gun was reloaded again! When Mavi estimated that it was about the same, the third ship slowed down again, this time their speed slowed down to about half of their speed, almost slower than the speed of the whale shark! What does he want to do?

I'm thinking about electricity in the center of my mind, isn't it?

I thought about it for a moment and shouted, "Arashi, slow down all the ships to three-quarters!" Arashi quickly carried out my order, and the speed of the three ships slowed down.

I did this for a reasonβ€”because it was going diagonally, it was almost the same as the forward speed of the three-ship, which was going in the forward direction! This guarantees the best accuracy of shooting!

I ordered again: "Thirty-five steps away, the stern of the third ship, the angle is horizontal!" "Hearing my order, all the gunners, including those around them, were taken aback, aiming at the stern of ship three? What is this for? But no one questioned my order, and the muzzles began to migrate, aiming at the rear of the hull of the third ship!

The hearts of the gunners are beating wildly, everyone knows the power of this artillery, hit their own ships? It's too dangerous. But an order is an order, so they all sweat in their palms, quietly waiting for my shooting order!

At this moment, the black shadow approached the prey that "finally couldn't run in front" again! In the mind of the whale shark, which is not very intelligent and dominated by anger, it knows deep down that the "grain" in front of it runs fast and will attack itself, but it will not kill itself! So it is ready to swallow the "small snack" on the "prey" at once, and reserve enough energy for the birth of its baby!

Although that "small snack" is not delicious, at this moment, I have nothing to find fault with!

Finally caught up! The whale shark looked at the "staggering" prey butt in front of it, bowed violently, and pounced on the tail of the prey with its big mouth open like an arrow off the string! "Click!" The whale shark's big mouth bit the bottom of the last mast of the No. 3 ship at once! Most of my body threw myself on the boat!

Just when the whale shark is about to twist its head and bite off the spine of its "prey", "boom boom"! The violent cannon fire rang out again, and nearly two-thirds of the cannon hit the whale shark! Due to the large firing angle this time, many artillery pieces were fired at an angle of nearly 90 degrees, and the skin of the whale shark was suddenly opened, and the flesh and blood were blurred!

This whale shark suffers and feels the threat of death! It let go, biting the tail mast, trying to get out of this dangerous place and abscond back into the sea! But I heard Mavi shout: "Harpoon! Put! ”

Countless harpoons that had been prepared were thrown out in unison, digging deep into the flesh of the whale shark!

Mavi shouted again, "Hold it!" Can't let it go back to the sea! ”

All the sailors pulled the harpoon cable that bound the whale shark together, and for a while, the cable was stretched straight! In the process of the whale shark's struggle, the tail of the third ship sank, the bow was cocked, and it looked like it was about to capsize several times! This guy's vitality is really tenacious, and he has struggled for a long time without subsiding, but the stern of the No. 3 ship is creaking, I'm afraid that if the stalemate continues, the No. 3 ship will collapse first!

I don't know what the mood of the people on the third ship is, but the hearts of everyone on the other ships are pounding! I thought about it for a moment and ordered: "Flagship, lean over!" Maintain the same speed as the third ship! ”

Arashi immediately complied! The flagship began to slowly approach the third ship, and just when there was still about three or four meters left between the two sides, I jumped onto the side of the ship, got up, and jumped towards the back of the whale shark!

At the scream of the kite, I landed firmly on the back of the whale shark! With my left hand, I grabbed the whale shark's front dorsal fin – it had two dorsal fins – and half of it was dragging itself in the air! I pulled out Tong Zi Che with my right hand, and under the action of the whale shark desperately twisting its body and trying to shake off the guy on its back, my legs clamped the lower edge of the whale shark's head, and I held Tong Zi Che with both hands, and stabbed it hard at the whale shark's heavenly spirit cover!
