Today God was on Fernández's side, and his bow gun actually hit the mast as the enemy fled.

Seeing that the enemy had lost one of his masts, Fernández's laughter grew even louder. The speed of the pirate ship was so fast that if he escaped at full speed, he would not be able to catch up.

Now that the pirate has lost a mast, the speed is much slower, and he can definitely capture the pirate ship.

The thought of capturing the pirate ship and learning the secret of the heavy artillery on the other ship's ship boiled Fernandez's blood.

Zhang Huan, who was about to retreat, was in a hurry, and a mast was broken, and the ship's speed dropped a lot.

The enemy ship, which could have been easily shaken off, actually followed behind him, listening to "Boom!" The sound of the cannon Zhang Huan was a burst of distraction.

This expedition to Taiyuan Island was not smooth, first encountered a storm, then the lookout fell into the sea, and now the mast was broken.

It would take at least two hours to replace the spare masts, and it was an impossible task to be pursued by enemy ships.

Fortunately, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and it would be dark in less than half an hour. As long as you can hold out but it's dark, you can get rid of the enemy with the help of night.

The sea is silent at night, and the waves are only a little loud when the wind blows.

Suddenly, there was a flash of fire in the darkness, and then the sound of cannon fire. Two sailboats sailed from far and near on the sea, chasing and fleeing for an unknown amount of time, even in the dark night.

Tonight, dark clouds in the sky obscured the moonlight, and the sea, which had been somewhat bright, became extremely dark. The darkness of the night made the shelling doubly difficult, and although the pursuing ships kept firing their guns, they did not hit the target.

On the killer whale battleship, which had been on the run for a long time, the first mate Ma Le walked up to Zhang Huan and asked, "Captain!" If we don't turn off the lights, the enemy ships will not chase us if they lose their target! ”

"No!" Zhang Huan looked at the enemy ships that followed him in the distance, constantly firing cannons. The teeth in the mouth gritted "cluck!" "Rattle, do you really think you've got it?

Zhang Huan laughed self-deprecatingly and ordered: "Build a raft and hang up the spare sails!" ”

Ma Le was stunned by Zhang Huan's words, building a raft on the sea, could the captain abandon the ship? Even if you abandon the ship, there is a small sampan? Why build a raft?

"Captain?" Ma Le hesitated, and was just about to speak when he was forced to retreat by Zhang Huan's eyes. Although the captain is young, everyone is afraid of starting a fire.

The ship's carpenters and sailors went into battle together, using a dozen barrels and planks, and soon set up a two-foot square raft on the sea.

A burst of masts was also attached to it, and a spare sail was hung on it. Zhang Huan walked around the raft and reached out to pat it on the mast a few times before nodding in satisfaction.

There is nothing to say about the carpentry's craftsmanship, the raft is strong and durable, even if it encounters smaller storms.

"Captain! Your raft is set, what do we do next? Ma Le asked cautiously.

When Zhang Huan turned to look at Ma Le, his face was full of smiles. This sudden smile made Ma Le's heart furious, and he involuntarily took a step back.

"This is your first boat, you have to cherish it. Give your ship a name! Zhang Huan said with a smile.

Ma Le was stunned on the spot, just kidding! Just this raft is its own boat? Although I have dreamed countless times that I can pilot a battleship alone, it is not a raft?

His face instantly bittered, "Captain! You're not kidding! Is this a ship? ”

Zhang Huan turned his face and said, "Who is joking with you!" Execute the command! ”

"Yes!" Ma Le immediately replied loudly, thought for a moment and said, "Captain, do you want to call the little captain?" ”

The corners of Zhang Huan's mouth twitched a few times, and two words "whatever you want" were squeezed out from between his teeth.

Ma Le, the raft, will definitely not be able to control it alone, and someone must be assisted. It's better to put a small cannon on it, and it's better to fire a cannon from time to time.

But the lookout was lost in the storm, and the sick sailor was left on an uninhabited island. The naval battle also lost a lot of sailors, and the sailors of today's killer whale battleships have no spare people.

Just when Zhang Huan was in a dilemma, Ma Jingbo rushed out of the cabin. When he saw the raft on the deck, he said, "If you can't beat the dry silk man, is this to prepare to run away?" The raft is well done, but it has to be equipped with a rudder behind it, otherwise it will not be able to run flexibly! ”

His words drew angry eyes from the sailors, and Tao Lei slapped him behind him and said, "Get out of the way!" No one speaks when you're dumb! ”

"Originally, this raft was doing well, if the horse boy had such a raft, he would be happy to die!" He was still talking to himself.

Ma Le said angrily: "Okay! This little captain has got you! ”

"Really? That's great, when to get into the water and let the horse boy try it! Ma Jingbo was happy, and he didn't care about the dry silk people chasing behind him.

"Do you dare to go into the water now?" Zhang Huan walked over and said.

"Dare! How dare not! Ma Jingbo said with a glare.

Tao Lei was anxious and hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two. Pulled Zhang Huan aside and talked for a while before walking back, looking at Ma Jingbo and glaring hard.

"Put the raft down, Ma Le will match you with two crew members, you will be satisfied!" At Zhang Huan's order, the raft was lowered to the surface of the sea.

Tethered to the stern of the boat with a long cable, Ma Jingbo, who got on the raft, lost the arrogance he had just now, and sat on the raft and didn't dare to move.

Although the two-zhang raft is not small, it is tossed around like a leaf on the undulating sea, and it is easy to fall into the sea if you are not careful.

Tao Lei glared at Ma Jingbo and loaded a 3-pounder cannon used by the army. After fiddling with it, he nodded to Ma Le, who was handling the sails.

Ma Le took the brass whistle in his mouth and blew violently, quickly lighting the lantern hanging from the mast.

The killer whale battleship in the distance turned off its lights at the same time, cut the cable, and let the raft drift with the current.

Tao Lei lit the small cannon on the raft at the moment when the lantern was lit. "Boom!" The raft shook with a loud bang, making a tooth-aching sound of wood twisting.

Ma Jingbo, who was still sitting on the raft, suddenly lay down, grabbed the plank with both hands, and didn't dare to move.

Tao Lei glanced at Ma Jingbo and scolded angrily: "Wasn't your kid quite capable just now?" Why is it cowardly now? ”

Ma Jingbo, who was lying on the raft, said unconvinced: "Who knew that the raft would shake so badly, that kid was too ruthless, and he sold us directly!" ”

Fernández, who was in the distance, did not notice the change in the lights, and still chased the target with the lights on, and the cannonballs were fired like no money.
