Chapter 19 Pick-up
Chapter 19 Broadboarding
The Conch slows down and presses closer to the center circle, and the enemy sloop has a watchtower to protect, so it can't choose to stay away from the Conch to keep a distance from it, so in order to prevent the stern from leaking to the opponent, the conch can only reduce the speed to increase the steering speed.
The two sides quickly approached in a spiral, and the hit rate of each shelling was greatly improved compared with the previous one, and finally the two ships actually fought at a position of 100 meters apart.
The Conch and the enemy dhow chased after each other in a narrow area, trying to catch the bow or stern of the other ship in order to deliver the most powerful blow, the cannon rumbled, screams, crashes, and shouts were mixed together, blood dripped down the cracks of the cannon marks into the sea, and the whirlpool that appeared in the middle of the two ships due to rotation was covered with broken sail sawdust. The smoke of gunpowder covered the entire sea, and the night became darker, and the war songs echoed passionately, one stack after another, and a waltz composed of warships and cannons was being staged.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The mixed cannon sound did not stop, in the flying of the cannonballs, no one could complete the salvo, each cannon sound did not know whether it belonged to us or the enemy, Gangzi lay behind the broken armor of the bridge, next to the blurred corpse of the helmsman, a cannonball penetrated the armor and hit the bridge, Gangzi was just frightened, but the helmsman was not so lucky, this cannon took his life. Fortunately, the steering wheel was not damaged, and the first mate had taken the helmsman's place to stabilize the ship, and the large gap next to it indicated that this position was not safe.
In a short period of time, the Conch has experienced two fierce battles, and the hull damage is very serious, if it continues to fight like this, even if it can defeat the other party, I am afraid that it will not be able to sail.
Gangzi poked his head out of the gap, and the situation of the dhow on the opposite side was also not very good, in the face of the Conch, which was slightly beyond all attributes, he could only cope with the frantic shelling, the hull was full of bullet holes, and the wooden valgus could hardly see the intact place, as if it would fall apart at any time.
"Inspire!"
The sloop that the Conch hit twice paused, and Gangzi yelled at the first mate: "Pull in!" Broadboard! Everyone is ready to take on the broadside! ”
Gangzi's roar came to the deck, and everyone immediately picked up their weapons, and the well-trained elite sailors did not show panic, and quickly entered their positions if the drill was generally conducted. The archers ascended the stern, and after the gun crew reloaded, only five gunners were left to fire the final shot, and the rest joined the jump helpers, who crouched behind the ship's side armor or flanked the gun doors for the final order.
The first mate was full of rudder on the right, and the two ships were facing each other. With only enough time to take a deep breath, Gangzi felt his body jump, and then a piercing grinding sound came, and the starboard sides of the two ships collided together.
"Open the gun"
"Fire! Invigorate! ”
The two ships fired their guns at the same time, and even the iron armor plates could not block the initial velocity potential energy of the shells at such a close distance, and the projectiles easily penetrated the hull and inflicted great damage on the sailors behind.
Bearing the loss, the five guns of the Conch fired a salvo, followed by another salvo, the equivalent of ten guns at close range gave the sloop double the damage, the deck was in shambles, all the guns were overturned and rolled, and few sailors could stand up after running over all the way.
"Broadside, on! Above! Rush up! ”
The archers of the conch stern took the lead in attacking, suppressing the Liaodong naval sailors on the deck of the dhow with dense arrows, and at the same time the jumping helpers moved away from the corpses of their companions and stood up, throwing out the hooks and nets in their hands and hanging them on the side of the opponent's ship and cables to prevent the opponent from separating, and then several portions either landed on the side of the opponent's ship, or extended from the gun door to the opponent's gun door. All the Conch sailors swarmed onto the enemy dhow.
Twice in a row, Gangzi's physical strength is consumed by more than half, of course, even if he does not consume, he will not rush over, the captain's position should be on the bridge, if his sailors can't solve the opponent, he will not have much impact on the battle situation.
"You occupy the deck of a dhow!"
"You occupy the sailor's cabin!"
"You occupy the kitchen!"
"You occupy the powder keep!"
……
A series of prompts rang in Gangzi's ears.
The sound of fighting on the opposite side gradually faded away, mainly concentrated near the stern.
"You occupy the captain's quarters."
"You destroy all resistance from the dhow, you capture the dhow."
Finally finished fighting, Gangzi jumped up, and saw that there were still ten minutes in the time, and the wet island was in front of him, and the sea in the distance, under the cover of night, had already revealed the figure of the Liaodong patrol fleet.
"Quick! Fast! Don't stay, leave enough manpower, all the others come back, cut the ropes, first mate, you take the dhow and leave immediately to go to Black Sail Island, and the others will load gunpowder and cannonballs and prepare to shell the wet island outpost. ”
The situation of the captured dhow was very bad, above the waterline was basically broken, completely incapacitated, and even the navigation was barely possible, Gangzi did not want to leave the battleship that he had worked hard to fight to the Liaodong Navy, so he asked the first mate to take the seriously injured dhow to go back to Heifan Island for repair.
The Conch was also seriously injured, but all the defenses of the Wet Island had collapsed, and the watchtower had completely leaked under the Conch's fire, and it was impossible for Gangzi to leave like this.
It took five minutes for the two ships to break away, and the first mate captured the dhow and quickly left. The Conch also sailed with the wind, its tattered side revealing a swarthy gun muzzle aimed at the watchtower on the wet island. The patrol fleet in Liaodong was also completely exposed, and the three brigs swooped down on the Conch in a marching formation.
Gangzi estimated the distance between the two sides and shouted to the gunners: "We only have two chances to open the cannon, both of which will give me the right time, fire!" ”
The Conch is accelerating, the speed is not fast, and the watchtower is a stationary target, so the hit rate of the shelling can still be guaranteed. The Conch fired from four guns on the port side, and two of them hit the target, but both hit the upper deck of the watchtower, and although the sawdust flew and did little damage to the entire building.
Gangzi was extremely disappointed when he saw the effect of the shelling and shouted: "Reload quickly!" Lower the muzzle a little, we have one more chance! Fire! ”
The cannon rang out again.
"Inspire!"
Gangzi activated the skill again, and did not care about the effect, but ordered: "Push all the artillery into the sea, throw all the heavy objects down, throw down everything that can be dismantled, as long as you can move it, throw it down!" ”
"Plop! Thump! ...... "A piece of artillery was pushed into the sea, Gangzi's heart was dripping blood, and now the territory can't produce its own artillery, and it will cost three times the price to re-equip it, but fortunately a dhow battleship was captured, otherwise this mission would have lost money." How many more times will this task come again, and my brother will not be ruined?
Gangzi wiped his tears and looked back, the speed of the lightly armed Conch increased to an unprecedented height, and the distance between it and the Liaodong Navy patrol fleet pursuing behind it gradually widened, and what was even more gratifying was that the empty space on the wet island in the distance could no longer find the shadow of the watchtower. Alas...... Breathe a sigh of relief, and finally live up to my brother's sacrifice of life and death to fight hard repeatedly.
Getting rid of the Liaodong Navy, the Conch entered the waters of Qingzhou, and entered Donglai Port in a short time. The scarred Conch has attracted the attention of countless players.
"The starboard side is completely destroyed, the port side is eighty percent destroyed, and the whole ship has been beaten into a sieve, so it can still be driven back, open and hang, right?"
"What do you know, this is a battleship, the hull is made of nanmu, the waterline and important parts are reinforced with armor plates, if it were a merchant ship, it would have sunk eight times."
"Who is this fighting against? Is it a pirate? I didn't see any merchant ships entering the port, so it is estimated that the frigate ran back after all annihilation. ”
"What kind of naval battle is this? Just looking at this scarred body made me excited, and I decided that even if I went bankrupt, I would become a captain, which was too windy. ”
The onlookers blocked the Conch with water, but Gangzi on the ship made a mistake. In the past, when he entered and exited Donglai Port, he flashed off the ship without anyone noticing, anyway, there were many dhows in Donglai Port, and no one would notice him. And this time the Conch was so eye-catching that he himself was trapped on the ship and did not dare to come down.
Drip, drip!
Sugar Candy: "Brother! Where are you? I'll get you a list, a merchant ship with a sloop, 2,500 gold, 3,500 gold if you add sails, and another 3,600 gold for four guns. ”
Gangzi: "The cannon told him to figure out a way by himself, and the ship was 3,500 gold." ”
Sugar Candy: "Good! I got the drawings and flew directly to Heifan Village to build a ship, and the gold owner said that as long as we deliver on time, he will order a dhow below, and I will give him a price of 7,000 gold without artillery. ”
Gangzi: "The cost of the dhow is 2,000 gold, the sails and armor peripherals are 1,000 gold, and the profit is 4,000 gold, which is not bad, and I will give you a commission of 20% for every order you pull in the future, so do it well." ”
Sugar Candy: "I can earn 800 gold on a dhow!" Thank you, brother. ”
It's a stupid girl to be happy to be like this when she earns 800 gold. Thinking about two hours ago, my brother just threw ten cannons without blinking an eye. Just now, the younger sister said, "Four cannons plus 3,600 gold", and my brother threw ten guns......?!!
"Poof......" Gangzi spurted out a mouthful of old blood, why didn't anyone tell Brother Cannon that it was so valuable! 900 gold for one door, which is a cannon! This is a golden pimple, my brother threw 9,000 gold into the sea in one go, and the loser was not so defeated, my brother didn't even cut off the picture, and Xuan didn't have anywhere to show off! Woowoo...... Can it still be fished out?
Gangzi cried for half an hour in the captain's room of the Conch, and the old people outside went to the new ones, and they stopped to take a group photo, and they didn't have a moment to spare. What is the brother low-key? Now is not the time for my brother to run a boat alone, now it is a national civil sea, the small sailing ships full of eyes have reached the point of blocking traffic, and the occasional dhow is just amazing, my brother is just driving a dhow, which is equivalent to driving a Bugatti Veyron in reality, or a Bugatti Veyron full of guns, it is the time when Ge should be scared.
Isn't it just onlookers? Brother is so high-end, don't watch who the brother is, brother throws 9,000 gold coins, woo woo woo...... A character who doesn't blink an eye, afraid of onlookers? Joke!
The most important thing is:
"Little sister! There is money to be paid for taking pictures here! ”
Gangzi stood on the bow of the Conch and said loudly to a beautiful woman taking a selfie below.
