He glanced at the distance a few more times and confirmed that the other party only rushed out of two 10-material and 3 7-material ships, and the big ships did not act together. Only then did Shen Shouyao calmly order: "Left full rudder, turn around." ”

"Yes, full rudder left, U-turn."

With the helmsman's loud chorus, the ship began to slowly turn around.

Probably afraid that Zhu Youzhen would be worried, Shen Shouyao explained to Zhu Youzhen in a low voice: "Your Highness, the water situation ahead is unknown, let's turn the bow of the boat first and retreat to our proven waters." This will ensure that you don't run aground during the battle.

Although the other side dispatched 5 ships, they were obviously smaller than ours. And we are serious warships, not afraid of collisions with them. The only way they can win is to entangle us first, and then jump to capture us. As long as they dare to get on the boat, we ......"

"Lone believes in you. Xiao Shen, you just let go of the command. ”

Before Shen Shouyao finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen interrupted his explanation. Looking at the five pirate ships that were gradually accelerating in the distance, Zhu Youzhen's eyes were brighter than ever.

Pirates, these are real pirates.

Although there were not many ships participating in the battle, the scale was not large, and the opponent was not a hard stubble, and there was no artillery battle between the two sides that was the hallmark of the Age of Discovery; But in any case, this can also be considered a naval battle, right?

As long as it is a naval battle, no matter how small the scale of this battle is, after this battle, he Zhu Youzhen can proudly tell others that he Zhu Youzhen can be regarded as a person who has fought a naval battle.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Shen Shouyao's voice interrupted Zhu Youzhen's rhapsody.

Immediately, Shen Shouyao whispered even more incomprehensibly: "Your Highness, since I am in command of this battle, can you please enter the cabin now?" ”

"You Xiao Shen, are you afraid that Lone will affect your command?" With a laugh and scolding, Zhu Youzhen raised the binoculars and carefully observed the five pirate ships in the distance that were gradually increasing their speed, until he confirmed that there was nothing like a cannon on the deck of the ship, and Zhu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's go into the cabin and won't affect your fighting."

Handing the binoculars to Shen Shouyao, Zhu Youzhen turned around and walked towards the cabin.

The tactics that Shen Shouyao was going to adopt, Zhu Youzhen had fully understood.

He was on a 30-gauge warship. The materials of the warship are strong enough, and they are larger than the opponent's incoming ships, and they are not afraid of the opponent's small boat collision. The opponent does not have high-powered artillery, so if you want to defeat them, you can only rely on traditional gang fighting to capture their ship.

In the hand-to-hand jumping gang battle, with the strength of the 30 tunnels of the junior team and more than 10 palace guards, it is unceremonious to say that even if the pirates jump on the ship more, they must come and die.

This is Shen Shouyao's battle plan, he has to take the initiative to cooperate and lure the pirates on board.

However, Zhu Youzhen was worried that the pirate ship would be equipped with small artillery. Even if the pirate ship is equipped with a Tiger Squat Cannon with the closest range, it can bring great damage to its own personnel in close combat.

Therefore, even if Shen Shouyao repeatedly assured that there would never be artillery on the pirate ship, Zhu Youzhen did not observe it personally, and his heart really couldn't let go.

took the binoculars and saw Zhu Youzhen walking to the cabin as promised, Shen Shouyao couldn't help but feel a burst of secret joy in his heart.

Knowing people and being good at their duties, they will not interfere with the specific command of their subordinates after making a plan. This merit of His Royal Highness King Shin is too valuable.

When he saw Zhu Youzhen letting go of Zhang Pan's command in Qingni Cave, Shen Shouyao thought that it was because Zhang Pan was old enough and his official position was high enough, and the Ming army participating in the war was all Zhang Pan's pro-army, and Zhu Youzhen was afraid that the command would not move.

Only now did Shen Shouyao realize that he had obviously misunderstood King Xin.

Can now be different from the Green Clay Cave. Now the main force of operations on the ship is King Xin's youth team and bodyguards, and Shen Shouyao and the sailors who are in charge of operating the ship are now all direct subordinates of His Royal Highness King Xin. The whole battle plan is also very clear. Under such circumstances, King Xin was able to keep his promise and not interfere with his command within the purview of Shen Shouyao, which was very remarkable.

His Royal Highness really deserves to be His Royal Highness, whatever he says is what, this heart is really too broad-minded. To be able to serve such a lord, he Shen Shouyao is really lucky.

"Young general, well, I will never live up to His Highness's expectations."

Looking at Zhu Youzhen's back, Shen Shouyao clenched the telescope tightly in his hand.

The ship has not sailed or supped, which makes the vessel's U-turn look unusually clumsy.

In the distance, 5 pirate ships were fully open. Because the wind in the bay was not strong, all five ships were pulped except for the full sail. With the pulp sails in force, the five pirate ships swooped down at a speed far faster than the ships on the sea.

The pirates were clearly familiar with the local waters, and they spread out in a fan without hesitation. With the advantage of speed, the two 10-material ships thrust into the front of the sea ship through their wings. Three smaller boats dragged a little further and came straight from the center to the sea boats.

Your grandma's, rush, rush.

Damn, stop the boat for Lao Tzu, stop the boat quickly.

As the pirate ship got closer and closer, the chaotic shouts of the pirates could be heard clearly in the sea breeze.

The ship finally made a clumsy U-turn.

"Raise the sails. Be careful to control the hoisting speed, not too fast. ”

Looking at the pirates who were getting closer and closer, the corners of Shen Shouyao's mouth showed a sneer of expectation.

The pirate ship is getting closer and closer.

It is clear that the sea ship has only just begun to set sail and has completely fallen behind. At the current speed, the pirate ship will catch up before the ship can open its sails. The ships of the sea are no longer safe from the pursuit of the pirate ships.

Sure enough, just when the sea ship was only half full, the two 10-material pirate ships with earth-shattering laughter had already swept past the two wings of the sea ship.

"Drop the sails, you can't run. Haha, haha, if you don't drop the sails, you'll be killed all in one moment. ”

The pirates roared and threatened loudly as they controlled the 10-material pirate ship, cutting into the ship's channel from the left and right, and began to interfere with the ship's course and speed.

"Turn it 10 degrees to the left and maintain the speed. Quick, now right 5 degrees. ”

Staring at the pirate ships interspersed left and right, Shen Shouyao continued to issue various adjustment instructions.

Under Shen Shouyao's control, the sea ship flexibly adjusted its course, avoiding the interference of the pirate ship, while still trying to slowly increase its speed.

Grab, grab.

Several soft sounds came in a row, and the ship shook obviously, and the speed of the whole ship immediately decreased a lot.

With the continuous interference of the two 10-material pirate ships, the three smaller pirate ships had caught up, and one by one the iron claws struggled to throw onto the ship, and the taut ropes seriously slowed down the speed of the ship.

"Chop the ropes." Shen Shouyao roared.

According to the pre-planned plan, the palace guards picked and cut multiple taut ropes.

Grab, grab, grab.

Denser voices were heard, and as more iron claws were thrown onto the ship, the screams of the pirates who were close at hand became more and more frenzied.
