After an afternoon of chasing each other and fighting fiercely, when the battle damage report came up, Deng Haonan's side lost eight sailors and more than a dozen were wounded. The battleship had been pierced in several places, and the damaged areas were constantly pouring into the sea. In addition, the sails and battlements were damaged in many places.

Deng Haonan inspected the wounded, and then arranged for manpower to repair the warship.

In the dim light, Deng Haonan looked at the battered warship.

Counting it, this warship has been following her for a long time, but unfortunately every time Deng Haonan drives her out to sea and comes back, she is scarred.

I don't know if the boat is tired of people, or if people are tired of boats!

Deng Haonan shook his head and smiled bitterly, he had already made some achievements in the Brotherhood Alliance, but unfortunately compared with the Dutch Navy, sesame seeds were still far worse than watermelons.

He muttered in his mouth: "The road is long, and I will go up and down to seek." ”

Holding on to the shipwall, Deng Haonan looked up at the night sky, thinking about the huge figure and powerful firepower of the Buddha Immortal in his mind, if he also had such a battleship, how good it would be!

"It's so eye-catching!"

Deng Haonan couldn't help but sigh with envy and sighs.

Suddenly, Deng Haonan only felt his shoulders sinking, and then a burst of warmth came. Looking back, Ding Da Niu appeared beside him and put his cloak on Deng Haonan.

"Then grab it!" Ding Daniu grinned greatly, in his eyes, Deng Haonan was omnipotent.

Deng Haonan smiled: "How to rob it?" Are people standing still waiting for you to grab it? ”

Da Niu smiled and said, "Brother Haonan, isn't your nickname Deng Cannon?" Why don't you use your gunnery and discount the main mast of the Yiren warship with one cannon? ”

Deng Haonan pursed his lips and glared at him, and now only Da Niu, a "real person", dared to call him "Deng Cannon" in front of him.

"The foreigner's main mast is different from ours!" Deng Haonan said: "Our mast is short, so we only need a thick hardwood!" And the main mast of the Buddha Immortal is more than 40 meters high, which is not made of a single piece of wood! It was a splicing of hundreds of short oaks, especially at the bottom, which were nine thick pieces of wood tied together! Are you going to watch a movie? Say it's a discount? ”

"What's a movie?" I understood the first half of the bull's words, but the second half was stunned by the new term "movie".

"It's acting!" Deng Haonan waved his hand at the big cow and said, "There is still a shortage of manpower to repair the ship wall over there, you go over and help!" ”

"Alas!" Da Niu answered, turned around and went to help.

After Deng Haonan sent the big cow away, he looked at the sea and was stunned, but in his heart he was thinking about how to snatch the Buddha Immortal.

The mast is not broken, and there are too many sails, and it is not easy to hit.

Deng Haonan suddenly thought that if he wanted to stop the Buddha Immortal, in addition to attacking the mast and sail, he could also hit their rudder!

When he fought Zhang Shicheng at the beginning, didn't Huang Zupei dive into the sea and cut off the winch to stop his warship?

Although the Dutch battleship was different from the Damingfu ship, the rudder lock was not connected to the bottom of the ship, but the principle was the same. As long as the rudder of the Uhfoxian is damaged with one shot, then the Uhfoxian can only sit and wait to be beaten, no matter how good it is.

Deng Haonan found a breakthrough and immediately began to think about how to attack the rudder of the Erfoxian.

At three o'clock, Deng Haonan's ship No. 101 was repaired.

Deng Haonan was sleepy and ordered his subordinates to hurry up and rest. At the same time, he told the second lieutenant on duty Huang Yisha to be on guard, and then returned to the cabin to rest.

In his sleep, Deng Haonan still thought about how to capture the Buddha Immortal, and it was not until the end of the day that he fell asleep.

※※※

On weekdays, Lieutenant Xiao Nai, the first officer of the staff, got up and woke up the next officer on duty, Second Lieutenant Hou Chuang, as well as the officers and helmsmen on duty. Then command the cable chief to stand at the hatch and blow the "All Attention" whistle, and then wake the port (or starboard crew) to the deck. After the shift, change the watchpost, measure the speed and course of the ship, and write down the results on the noteboard. The off-duty sailors went back to the lower deck to sleep.

At the end of the day, the carpenter and the sail cable chief began to overhaul the rudder and sail cables of the battleship, and the cook lit the fire to cook porridge and steamed steamed buns, and then prepared some pickled pickles, which was breakfast.

At three o'clock, the sailors on duty began to wash the deck, clean it with a mop, and then dry it with a dry mop, and at the same time polish all the metal (usually copper) surfaces of the deck to a shiny finish, and any excess cables were to be arranged and coiled into spiral circles.

By the time the time the hour came, the work was almost complete, and the first mate, Lieutenant Xiao Nai, came to the deck to supervise. At two o'clock, the sail cable sergeant whistled and "got up". All the officers and men who were sleeping got up and went to the deck to light their meals.

Deng Haonan was deeply lazy, and accompanied by the captain of the ship, Lieutenant Xue Muhua, and the confidential staff officer, Captain Lin Feng, came to the deck.

After the inspection, Lieutenant Xue Muhua ordered breakfast to begin.

Sailors eat for about half an hour, after which shifts change. Sailors on the morning shift carry bags and boxes that need to be cleaned up from the lower deck, prepare lunch meals, assist the Navigator in repositioning the contents of the storage hold to improve the ship's center of gravity, repair cannons, and so on. Sailors who are not on duty can sleep, chat, or tidy up their personal grooming.

However, today Deng Haonan was full of excitement, and after having breakfast in a hurry, Deng Haonan ordered all officers and men to cancel their rest and prepare for combat at the second level.

The crowd didn't know why, but they still carried out the order. Suddenly, the sail of No. 101 was raised high, blown by the sea breeze, and the warship broke the waves and galloped.

"Headmaster!" Captain Lin Feng couldn't withstand the instructions of the other officers, so he came to Deng Haonan and asked about the situation.

Deng Haonan smiled: "I thought about it all night, and finally thought of how to capture the Buddha Immortal!" ”

Capture the Uh, Buddha Immortal?

When Lin Feng and the others heard this, their scalps immediately went numb.

Deng Haonan took the chart, used a compass and a triangular ruler to compare it on it, and said: "Well, the Buddha Immortal went in this direction last night, and since they were going to search for us, they would take a long 'zigzag' route. So we just have to walk straight along the Pabuyan Sea Road, and in less than half a day we will catch up with the Buddha Immortal! ”

Lin Feng hesitated: "Eh, the Combat Power Principal of the Buddha Immortal is clear, why did he suddenly have this idea?" ”

Deng Haonan said with a smile: "It's not good to be greedy!" We need to act! This Dutch battleship is so tempting, I can't sleep at night without her! ”

Lin Feng said: "What is the principal's opinion? ”

Deng Haonan said: "According to the calculation of the itinerary, we will suddenly appear behind the Uhfo Immortal, as long as we bombard her rudder with the front main cannon, the Uhfo Immortal will not be able to exert itself no matter how powerful it is!" ”

Lin Feng said: "However, if we can't strike a blow, what if the Buddha Immortal turns around?" ”

Deng Haonan said with a smile: "We are in the upwind direction, we can give priority to turning!" Just keep an eye on the Buddha Immortal! I've calculated that if the Buddha Immortal wants to accelerate, it can only take the zigzag route, and we take a straight line, so once we are targeted, it will be like wearing a sugar gourd, sticking to her until we break her rudder! ”

Lin Feng nodded and said happily: "Student understands!" The Principal is wise! ”
