Chapter 52: Crashing the Ship

Just now, the armed merchant ship blocked the pirate ship was still bloody, and now the seriously overloaded escort ship even showed its own guns, which really made me feel like I was going to die, although the two ships only had one chance to fire their guns when they sailed opposite each other, but in case they were hit by the pirate ship, I don't know how it would save the fate of sinking.

The Brig of the Goryeo Navy, led by them, had gradually brought the pirate ship into its own range, and the side guns opened fire one after another, and the pirate ship was damaged in the stern, but the gunwales were still intact, and they immediately returned fire. Both sides are brigs, and the performance of the hull is about the same, and the comparison is the ability of the captain and sailors, and it will not be possible to decide the winner for a while.

The Goryeo Navy, on the other hand, had an extra tortoiseshell ship.

In order to strengthen the defense, the tortoiseshell ship is not flexible enough in the sails, so it is assisted by slurry, and the entire lower deck is all the cabins of the slurry, and the artillery position is only ten on the upper deck, and the firepower is comparable to that of a dhow battleship, but the cost is more than five sloops. If this is the case, the transformation of the tortoiseshell ship by the Koreans is extremely unsuccessful, in fact, the real killer move of the tortoiseshell ship is the front and rear collision angles.

Wearing thick armor can charge against the artillery, the bottom slurry can give the tortoiseshell ship a good explosive power, with the bow and stern collision angle to hit the enemy ship, and then the slurry dumps the ship and detaches, repeatedly ramming, until the enemy ship completely loses its combat effectiveness, and before knocking on the tortoiseshell ship, the enemy has nothing to do with the tortoiseshell ship, even if it is a gang jump, the tortoiseshell ship with an absolute advantage in numbers is more willing to fight like this, and the collision and jumping gang is the battle method of the tortoiseshell ship.

Driving against the wind, the tortoiseshell ship had been dragged behind for a distance in the pursuit, and the naval brig battleship in front had exchanged fire with the pirate ship, and the pulp dischargers in the tortoiseshell ship began to exert force, and the frequency of the slurry row increased greatly, and the large oars several zhang long flew up and down, and the speed of the tortoiseshell ship suddenly increased, pulling out a long wake, and chasing forward at a speed far exceeding that of the brig.

As for the oncoming escort ship, although it came with a tailwind and the speed of the ship was quite objective, everyone ignored it, and it was its luck to be able to survive a round of shelling by the pirate ship.

The sound of artillery continued to roar over the sea, and the smoke of gunfire was quickly dispersed by the oncoming southerly wind, and the four ships quickly moved closer to the center.

On an armed merchant ship, in a separate cabin, a lewd captain and a greedy Goryeo naval officer, after some haggling, finally reached a private agreement that was satisfactory to both parties.

The captain respectfully sent the officer out of the cabin, and the words of flattery and praise made the officer feel comfortable from head to toe.

When the two of them came back to the deck, the officer said to his subordinates in a loud voice: "The ship is full of Han honey, tell them to move out half of the cargo, you can check it here, if the number is correct, move it into the battleship, and I will go to have a cup of tea with Captain Gao." ”

With that, he went to the captain's room with the captain.

As long as everyone in this brig does not say anything, the other two ships can hide it, and then they will say that this is a merchant ship that pulls honey, and they can also have a good income at that time, after all, no matter how much the rescue remuneration is collected, it will be handed over to the treasury, and it is their own that really crashes into their pockets.

The officer entered the captain's room with joy and sat down behind his desk, waiting for the captain to get his money. However, instead of waiting for the glittering gold coin, he stabbed an oncoming thin sword.

On deck, the sailors of the merchant ship opened the door of the cargo hold and began to carry the barrels outward, back and forth, grinding and chirping several times before bringing out more than a dozen barrels of honey.

The sailors were not in a hurry, the naval officer was muttering to the captain of the merchant ship, the fool knew that they must have something shady to do, the honey was not the point at all, if it weren't for the military regulations they wouldn't even bother to transport such heavy and worthless honey back to the battleship, and now their eyes were on the captain's room of the merchant ship, guessing how much they could get.

After waiting for a long time, the sailors of the merchant ship finally brought the honey together, and the Goryeo sailors lazily knocked on the outside of the barrel, not even bothering to open it and check it. At this time, on the bridge of the battleship, the captain of the Goryeo brig suddenly ran out in a panic and shouted in fear: "Enemies, they are enemies, get away immediately." ”

As the sailors watched the panicked captain, the lids of the barrels of "honey" around them snapped open, and one by one jumped up and slashed at the sailors with a scimitar. At the same time, the original merchant sailors also changed their honest appearance, took out the ropes that had been hidden for a long time and threw them on the brigs of the Goryeo Navy to prevent them from escaping. A big man rushed out of the cargo compartment with the hatch wide open, yelled at the naval dhow, stepped on the porthole and rushed over, and the same man behind him kept getting out and rushing onto the brig together.

A quarter of an hour ago.

The Goryeo navy, which was pursuing the pirates, engaged in a fierce exchange of fire, with shells from both sides hitting each other frequently, but neither of them delivered a fatal blow. The Goryeo Navy brig did not mean to sink the pirate ship, and the capture of a pirate ship was the most perfect reward, you must know that pirates like to keep hard currency on board, and the wealth of a pirate ship is no less than that of a fully loaded merchant ship. The Goryeo Navy did not believe that the pirates were willing to pour the rattling gold coins into the sea, those must be bulky and worthless objects, and the really valuable things must still be on board.

The Goryeo Navy's brigs tried to suppress the speed of the pirate ship with their artillery, and as long as the tortoiseshell ships behind could catch up quickly, they could crash into the ship and jump to the gang.

But the Goryeo navy did not notice that the speed of the corsair not only did not decrease, but slowly increased, and the Goryeo brigs that led the fighting warships also slowly increased their speed, but the Goryeo navy was busy firing guns and no one noticed this phenomenon.

In the tortoiseshell boat chasing behind, the pulp discharger rowed desperately, the tortoiseshell boat exceeded the speed of the brig warship at 30% of the speed of the sea, and approached the warring ship quickly, human physical strength could not explode like this for a long time, it must complete the impact before the pulp discharger's physical strength was exhausted.

Eventually, the tortoiseshell ship caught up and began to attack of its own. Afraid of sinking the pirate ship, it did not choose to attack the weak stern of the pirate ship, but adjusted its course slightly, and hit the pirate ship headlong with the bow head angle to the side of the pirate ship.

The gunners of the Goryeo Brig stopped firing, and the attack of the tortoiseshell ship represented the end of the battle, and the fate of the pirate ship could not be changed, they just waited to get on board and count the money.

However, the truth was not as they imagined, just as the tortoiseshell ship entered the impact course and all the crew members leaned down to meet the impact, the pirate ship, which had been looking badly injured, suddenly increased its degree and sped forward with incredible speed and dexterity, just to avoid the impact of the tortoiseshell ship.

The corsair was not injured at all, everything was a scam.

The captain of the brig watched the pirate ship "resurrect" in full condition, and the stern of the ship stopped smoking, he immediately realized that this was a trap, and thought of his colleagues who stayed behind to inspect the armed merchant ships, and his heart sank, and he immediately sent a warning message.

However, it was too late, and the pirate ship disguised as a merchant ship had already hooked the Goryeo brig, and its compartment was filled with all but a small amount of honey. Moreover, the pirate who jumped on the Goryeo battleship first was even more powerful, a steel knife slammed left and right to attack and chop people like chopping watermelons, and in a blink of an eye, he made a gap in the navy's brig battleship, and attacked with the pirates behind him, all of them were red and murderous, and the shocked Goryeo Navy could not raise the mind of resisting. The battle for the seizure soon ended, and a brig in the Goryeo Navy's patrol fleet changed hands.

The tortoiseshell ship slammed at full speed, but the imaginable impact did not occur, and when the sailors inside stood up and looked out, they found that the pirate ship had actually dodged. Hitting the air is nothing, after all, the opponent can't be stupid and wait for the collision with the same course, facilities, equipment, and skills may change the course and speed of the ship, as long as the angle is adjusted and collided again. When the tortoiseshell ship searched for the location of the pirate ship again, the pulp dischargers, who did not know the situation outside, still rowed hard before receiving the next order, and the tortoiseshell ship continued to castrate.

However, at this moment, a sailing ship appeared in front of them.

It's that escort ship, when did it get here!

The escort ship only caught the attention of the Goryeo Navy when it appeared, and its bloated hull quickly caused people to lose their vigilance against it, and after it raised its battle flag and charged at the pirates, this self-indulgence caused the Goryeo Navy to completely ignore its existence.

All eyes were on the pirate ship, and no one expected it to appear in this position at this time.

The tortoiseshell ship rushed towards the escort ship at a constant speed, and at such a short distance, it was inevitable that the tortoiseshell ship would want to turn, and it didn't feel that it should turn. The information that this kind of arrangement is a trap for pirates has been conveyed, and it can be guessed that this escort ship is a group of pirates, and it doesn't matter what their purpose is, and the two-masted battleship behind them is probably already more than lucky, and their side must solve the battle as soon as possible before they can go back to the rescue.

Since they are all pirates, it is the same to hit each other. And it didn't take much time to solve this escort ship, the hull draft was so deep that it was only a matter of one blow to send it into the sea.

The tortoiseshell ship crashed into the escort ship unstoppable, and the sound of "click" was endless, and the huge rush energy made the bow head of the tortoiseshell ship easily penetrate the hull armor of the escort ship, pushing the escort ship to move several meters horizontally.

This blow caused heavy damage to the escort ship, and seawater began to pour in through the breach. The slurry dischargers in the tortoiseshell boat began to row backwards, intending to pull the collision angle out of the hull of the escort ship, but they found that the collision angle seemed to be stuck in the gap, and actually drove the escort ship backwards together. And at this time, a large number of ropes and hooks were thrown from the deck of the escort ship, and the tortoiseshell ship and the escort ship were firmly tied together.

Hand-to-hand combat was inevitable, and all the crew members of the tortoiseshell took out their blades, climbed up the top shell of the ship along the ladder, and rushed up the escort ship with a roar.

The pirates on the escort ship jumped on the tortoiseshell ship as if they were endless, and soon overwhelmed the tortoiseshell ship in numbers. It seems that the heavy hull of the escort ship is full of pirates, and their purpose is to capture the tortoiseshell ship. When the Goryeo Navy realized that its numerical superiority was gone, it immediately retreated to its own ship and put the pirates on the escort ships.

The battle between the two sides was stalemate at the point of collision, and the escort ship was seriously flooded and began to sink, and if the pirates could not board the tortoiseshell ship as soon as possible to reduce the weight of the hull, they would be waiting for the fate of sinking. The two ships are stuck together, and although the tortoiseshell ship will also be brought into the sea, this is the offshore of Goryeo, and the Goryeo Navy sailors will definitely be rescued, and the pirates have only one way to die.

The area of engagement was so small that the pirates could not take advantage of their numerical superiority, and the form became more and more urgent, when a white suit floated through the air and landed on the top shell of the tortoiseshell ship, and the long swords were colorful, and the Goryeo sailors around them fell into the water one after another.
