Chapter 51 Layout
The scenery of the game "International Rising" is extremely realistic, the sky is as blue as the stars, the clouds and peaks are like clusters and layers, the breeze and gale wind alternate impermanence and ripples, the underwater beasts forage, the naughty fish leap, and the seabirds flock to open a feast.
Suddenly, there was a sparse explosion in the distance, and the sound was low, and the faint coercion swept across the sea, causing the fish to flee and the seabirds to panic. Looking at the direction of the explosion, a merchant ship fled from the south by the wind, and behind his flank was a battleship, and the two guns on the side of the bow had already included the merchant ship into its firing angle, and although the two guns fired alternately did not hit each other, the deterrent effect also made the deck of the merchant ship even more panicked.
Chasing behind was a brig with a skull flag raised on its mast, while the fleeing ship ahead was a brig merchant ship flying the flag of a Korean Chamber of Commerce. This kind of pirate chasing merchant ships is not an uncommon drama at sea, and every crew member will inevitably deal with pirates several times in their lives.
The sea area pursued by the two ships was already close to the coast of Goryeo, and it was not known what precious cargo was on board the brig merchant ship, and the pirate brig battleship pursued the brig merchant ship in spite of the Goryeo navy that might appear at any time.
The distance between the two sides gradually shortened, and more and more guns on the pirate ship entered the firing angle, and each gun was fired one after another. I don't know if it's because the pirate gunner's gunners are really bad, or if the brig is lucky +3, the pirate ship fired so many rounds of guns and didn't hit a single shell, all of which set off waves on the wake of the merchant ship.
The rumbling sound of cannon alarmed all the creatures in the vicinity, and it was heard far and wide in the silent sea.
Suddenly, the luck of the brig merchant ship was +3 again, and a Goryeo naval fleet appeared, two brigs, a tortoiseshell ship, and a standard Goryeo patrol fleet formation in the distance.
The merchant ship found that its navy was very excited and immediately sent a distress signal. The patrol fleet of the Goryeo Navy had already discovered their existence through the sound of artillery, and when they saw that their merchant ships were being attacked by pirates in their own coastal waters, the duty of the navy told them to immediately speed up their support.
The pirates had only one brig, and the robbery was certainly a failure. Immediately after the appearance of the Goryeo patrol fleet, the Corsair slowed down and turned around. The Goryeo brigs that had just been pursued were obviously quite bloody, and after receiving the support of the Goryeo navy, they did not quickly break away, but turned sideways on the sea, showing the seven guns on the side and firing fiercely at the pirate ship.
Seven guns are not vegetarian, and the pirate ship does not dare to casually leak its weak position, so it can only fight back while looking for an opportunity to leave the battlefield. The two sides fought fiercely on the sea, and the Goryeo Maritime Patrol Fleet seemed to be inspired by the courage of the brigs, and the three warships drove at full speed, all the guns opened, just waiting to get close and send the pirates to the bottom of the sea in one fell swoop.
The pirate warship entangled by the brig merchant ship seemed to be in a hurry, the ship was surrounded by the splash of cannonballs, and the ships rushed left and right and never found a good opportunity to escape safely, as the Goryeo Navy approached more and more, the uneasy haze became more and more serious in the hearts of the pirates, and it was certainly impossible to escape from being entangled by three warships, and the fate of the pirates was only to be sunk and surrendered, and the laws of various countries against pirates were very consistent - "hanging".
The Goryeo Navy was about to enter the battlefield, and the pirates forced a turn despite the shelling of armed merchant ships, leaking out the weak stern of the ship. And the armed merchant ship seems to have seized this opportunity, and after a round of cannons, smoke rose from the tail of the pirate ship, and the speed of the ship was much slower than normal.
What is it......? This is a military achievement, this is a military achievement. There are no major wars in peacetime, and the navy's military merits can only be obtained from pirates, who are extremely cunning and fast, and it is difficult to catch pirates unless the navy sends a large fleet to cast a net round up. Now a pirate ship is in front of you, and the brig also shows that this pirate is quite powerful, especially the speed of the damaged pirate ship has decreased, and a great battle feat is in front of you, and there is no danger or difficulty, as long as you open your mouth to eat.
Greed hides reason, and this is their patrol area, and although it is on the edge, it is not against the rules. The staggering pirate ship was like a lame duck hook with a fat ass - leading the Goryeo patrol fleet.
Sure enough, the Goryeo patrol fleet did not resist the temptation of military exploitation, and they sent out a brig to inspect the merchant ship, while the remaining brigs and tortoiseshell ships followed the wake of the pirate ship.
Ships break down, the navy pursues them, and the panicked pirates begin to dump goods into the sea in order to increase the speed of the ship, and every splash of heavy objects that falls into the water will attract the cry of regret from the Goryeo navy behind, and these supplies will become their trophies.
Now the Goryeo Navy patrol fleet has taken the ownership of the pirate ship into its own pocket, and the wealth dividend of the pirates is enough for every sailor of the Goryeo patrol fleet to earn a windfall.
The remaining brigs slowly docked at the side of the armed merchant ships, and asked the people on the merchant ships to drop the sails and anchor, and everyone gathered on the deck to wait for the Goryeo Navy to search, according to the custom, the rescued merchant ships needed to pay the navy a fee, if the domestic merchant ships needed to pay half of the total amount of cargo carried, foreign ships needed to pay 10%, if you were lucky, catching up with the merchant ships coming from the ocean can be described as a windfall. The Goryeo Navy was afraid that the people on the merchant ships would fool themselves with low-priced goods, so they had to arrange personnel to search the ships.
The Goryeo Navy stepped on the brig through the porthole, and a captain dressed as a rather obscene person immediately nodded and greeted him: "Little Gaoquan is the captain of the Sea Crab, and on behalf of my family, the owner of the Goryeo Navy, Xie Da Goryeo Navy's rescue Ensmida." ”
A Goryeo naval officer said proudly, "Where are you from?" What's on board? ”
The captain replied: "We are from the Han Luling, and the ships are all the special honey of the Han Xuzhou, and the rules of the sea are understood by the small ones, and the small ones immediately make people move the remuneration of the adults to the ship." ”
The captain said that he immediately called for someone to go to the cabin to carry the honey.
The naval officer shouted, "The honey of the big man? Are you an idiot when you are a military master? For that thing, the pirates can chase you to the coast of Goryeo, what is the cargo on board, quickly recruit from the truth, if there is any inaccuracies, all of them will be punished as smuggling. ”
If it is dealt with according to smuggling, not only will all the goods on board and the ship be confiscated, but all the people on board will also be criminalized, and the captain of the ship will be frightened and frightened, and he will cry again and again: "My lord, I can't do it, I can't do it, the little ones are all law-abiding merchants, the taxes have never been in arrears, the ship is indeed full of honey, and I don't know what the pirate has gotten to lose his mind, and he has been chasing after us." ”
Looking at the captain's performance, the naval officer believed that honey was really not worth much, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but the warehouse still had to be checked, and the officer always felt that things were not so simple, and what was in this armed merchant ship was clear.
The Goryeo Navy insisted on searching the cabin, and the captain's face became a little embarrassed, and the officer's mood improved again, "Sure enough, there is a mystery, if you don't be cautious, you will really let this profiteer be fooled." ”
"If you have anything, say it now, when you open the hatch, everyone's face will not look good."
After looking at the direction of the pirate's escape, the captain stepped forward in embarrassment and whispered to the naval port, "Can you take a step to talk ......?"
Advancing the weight of gold coins, the naval officer followed the captain to a secluded place with satisfaction.
The captain whispered: "The proprietor of my family bought a batch of jade in Dahan with a lot of money, which is worth a lot of money, and entrusted the small one to be mixed in honey and quietly brought back to China, but who wants to leak the rumors, attracting pirates to chase ...... all the way." ”
Hearing the words "priceless", the naval officer's heart fluttered, and he hurriedly took a step forward, looked around again to make sure that no one could hear before he breathed a sigh of relief.
The captain saw the officer follow, and turned into a compartment, and the naval officer followed.
Not to mention what the Goryeo naval officer and the captain had to do in the cabin, the two Goryeo warships chasing the pirates also entered the stage of an imminent exchange of fire.
Throwing heavy objects didn't seem to improve the speed of the pirate ship much, and the smoke from the stern of the ship intensified. The Goryeo Navy was approaching from the flanks and behind, and it was already possible to see the panicked pirates on the pirate ship with the naked eye, and as long as it was a little closer, it could carry out a naval artillery attack.
At this moment, a sailing ship came to the sea in the distance.
The pursuing Goryeo Navy glanced through the binoculars, and the fears that had just arisen were put back in sight.
It was an escort ship, and the flag on the mast showed that it belonged to the same Goryeo Chamber of Commerce as the armed merchant ship just now, and it seemed that it had just been scattered by pirates, but this was not a reassuring factor for the Goryeo Navy.
Mainly...... The ship's low waterline is scary! This is how many things are forced in, the greed of the merchant is really endless, this is a convoy is good, its main function is to protect the safety of the caravan, and the expanded cabin is just to piggyback a little thing, you are so stuffed, not to mention the speed drop, a little breach may capsize the ship, what combat effectiveness does the escort ship talk about, no wonder a pirate brig can force your two ships so embarrassed, it is really self-inflicted, if the escort ship can move normally, add an armed merchant ship, How can a pirate ship weigh its own weight.
Watching the escort ship staggering and sailing slowly, one can't help but worry about whether it will burst its belly by a wave that crashes past.
However, this is not the point, what is eye-catching is that it actually raises the battle flag and shows off the guns on the side of the side.
