Chapter 40: Pretending to Be a Country (Part II)

"Why are we fighting on the lowest floor?" Yi Xiaoge looked at his beard seriously. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The white captain named Drake had just taken office and discussed with Bearded about arranging the combat positions on the entire ship, while Yi Xiaoge and all the Huaxia players were arranged to the lowest gun position.

As we all know, the bottom layer is the first to sink the warship, and Drake is obviously not at ease, he wants the Huaxia players on the ship to hang up first.

"It's none of my business, this is arranged by the captain, I'm only responsible for passing the word, if you have any opinions, you can go to him."

Yi Xiaoge really wanted to kill this girl with a machete, it was too hateful. He was about to go over to trouble Drake when suddenly the player in charge of observation shouted, "The pirates are coming!" ”

Yi Xiaoge looked at the sea, and sure enough, a large warship that was almost half the length of Yi Xiaoge's ship gradually broke out of the fog on the dark sea.

Seeing this situation, many fish hurriedly said: "I think we should go to the battle position first, the war is about to start!" ”

Yi Xiaoge saw that the two sides would have to contact each other in ten minutes at most, and it was useless to go to Drake now.

"Humph! Cheap guy too. ”

Coming to the third floor, there was not enough light here, and the air was dull and rancid, which made Yi Xiaoge angry. Crooked nuts are simply too bullying, this is completely deliberate, and in reality, you can't do it in the game.

The ship's cannon was much smaller than the royal cannon, and the shells used were also solid. Yi Xiaoge has always used hollow charge shells, and he really has no experience with solid bullets.

"Little second brother, how do you use this cannon, I've never touched this thing?"

Many fish still didn't remember where Yi Xiaoge's name had been heard, he looked at the black cannon and said curiously.

"This is still relatively simple, first put in the powder pack of the primer, and then load the shell to ignite and shoot out!"

Yi Xiaoge demonstrated it to him once, and many fish immediately understood.

"Brother, come and teach us! Neither will we!"

"That's right! How do you use it?"

Other players saw that Yi Xiaoge could use this kind of cannon, so they asked for advice, Yi Xiaoge walked over and demonstrated them one by one, and basically they could operate it.

Because this kind of naval battle is generally a close-range shooting, coupled with the small shooting window and the angle cannot be adjusted, the shooting accuracy is not high. As long as you shoot hard, the hit rate depends entirely on the captain's boat handling skills.

By the time Yi Xiaoge returned to his battle position, the large pirate ship with the black skull sword flag was already less than a nautical mile away from him.

On the deck, Drake looked at the pirate ship that gradually enlarged in his eyes, and his expression was a little nervous. The beard came over at this time, glanced at Drake, and his face was a little unhappy.

"Drake! What are you nervous about? You're not holding a rudder, you're the life of an entire ship. You just drive towards it, aim it at its bow with the side, keep the T-shape, and our cannon will **** that ship!"

"No, how could I be nervous? It's easy for me!" Drake, of course, won't admit his nervousness.

"Right full rudder! Prepare to take on the enemy!"

Drake shouted loudly, and with ten players on the deck operating the mast, and with Drake's control, the improvised team was about to face an attack by the powerful flagship of the pirate group.

As the Octopus gradually approached, Yi Xiaoge was surprised to find that the opponent's side cannons were twenty, twice as many as his own.

Not to mention the firepower, the hull and sail power of the other party, which are more advantageous than themselves, made Yi Xiaoge and them fall behind.

Soon the two ships approached three hundred meters, and Yi Xiaoge could even see the pirates running around on the deck of the opposite pirate ship, wielding swords.

Drake drove the ship directly into an acute angle to approach the pirate ship, hoping to seize the T-shape. However, the controller of the pirate ship is obviously very experienced, just a left full rudder and then lowered the sail brakes, and the own warship that was still rushing towards the head of the pirate ship instantly turned into a situation that was about to be parallel to the pirate ship.

Before the corsair could even be completely parallel, twenty guns opened fire first.

Boom!

Twenty black solid bullets were pushed out of the barrel by the energy generated by the intense burning of black powder, and flew with thick smoke.

"Not good! The pirates have fired!"

Yi Xiaoge only shouted urgently, and the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, and the sound of the broadside board being broken through came from outside.

"Ahh

Two shells hit two gun emplacements in the middle cabin, and one player screams as the shells hit the ground. All but one of the remaining shells blew through the deck, and the rest swept over the hull and fell into the sea.

Unexpectedly, in the first round of shooting, there were casualties on his side. Drake was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked the players to lower the sails and sail at full strength, trying to compete with the pirate ship.

Many fish at the bottom looked at the situation outside and shook their heads: "It's not okay to go around like this, the other party's sail power is bigger than ours, and the speed is faster, we can't win them!"

"So what to do?" Yi Xiaoge saw that the other party was about to fire again, and his own cannon muzzle was never aligned with the pirate ship.

"Give up the grab, rush straight up and hit them, they have the advantage and will definitely not fight with us for their lives. They will inevitably break away at full speed, and then they will be in our attack range, and as long as they stabilize the situation, they can be paralyzed within a few waves of attacks! ”

The idea of many fish is completely put to death, Yi Xiaoge admits that this idea is very bold and does have a chance of success, but now the command of the warship is not in their hands.

"This trick is ruthless enough! It's a pity that the command is not in our hands, and it is useless to say more. ”

Boom Boom Boom !!

The second wave of shells from the Corsair came again, and this time eight out of twenty shells hit as the distance between the two sides narrowed. Several large holes were smashed into the side and deck of the ship, and the cabins on the second floor could be seen.

"Drake! Get rid of their shooting corners, you can't be chased by them like this! ”

Drake was sweating profusely, the sailboat was more difficult to steer than he had imagined, and the wind was not in his favor, making it difficult to maneuver.

"I'll do my best!"

Drake could only say that after the third round of attacks by the pirate ship, the warship was already full of holes. At this time, Yi Xiaoge and the others finally saw the pirate ship within the cannon shooting angle, and Yi Xiaoge immediately lit the primer with a tinder bamboo pipe. However, just as the cannon was about to be fired, the direction of the warship suddenly changed.

Boom Boom!

The remaining eight cannons on this side roared at the same time, flames mixed with black smoke erupted from the muzzles, and the black iron solid bullets smashed towards the pirate ship on the opposite side with Yi Xiaoge's aggrieved anger.

Boom!

Only one of the eight shells hit the deck of the pirate ship, killing a pirate minion. Even Yi Xiaoge's shell broke away from the target and sank to the bottom of the sea......

"Drake! What the hell are you doing! Why the change of direction? Don't know we're already aiming at the enemy? The bearded man in charge of observing the angle transmission signal roared hysterically.

"Right...... I'm sorry! I didn't have time to turn the rudder when a sudden gust of wind blew just now, and the direction of the mast was not adjusted in time! Drake said in horror that his hard-earned shot was almost all wasted.
