Chapter 100: Broadside

"Ferdinand, I don't need you from above, go to the second deck for me, go to the place where the bow is broken to do the damage control, if there is a leak, plug it all for me, the Xiulan will sink, and I will wait until this battle is won!"

The opponent's strength should be recognized, although it is the enemy's means, but the effect of the ice seal in naval warfare is too good, this is like two people fighting, one person is frozen for a few seconds, and the consequences can be imagined.

Xiulan has not yet reached a dead end, the sea water is always fluid, and Lao Wang does not believe that the selectors of the same level can freeze an entire three-masted sailing ship for a long time, and it is estimated that it will be thawed in a while.

"Mary!" Lao Wang called to the big beauty on the team channel, and his feet had reached the foredeck of the bow of the Xiulan, and he threw himself on the railing that was still left in the bow of the ship, leaning in to look down.

The degree of damage is in line with the shock just now, the bow of the Xiulan was beaten to pieces, and a full 7 shells were fired, so it was not a matter of making a few holes in the plank.

"Lao Wang, you say. Mary took a few crack sailors to help clean up the chaos on the deck, and returned to the gun, distracted by the old king, and her tone was very urgent.

"Don't be busy on the deck, take people into the gun position, how many can fire is counted, if I am the enemy captain, I will definitely take advantage of our confusion to shoot on the side of the wheel again!" Lao Wang said solemnly, retracted his body and turned his head to Tan Liang and shouted: "Roderick, you take over Ferdinand's duties, take care of the deck, and take the sailors to prepare to seize the wind, I think that the seafarer who knows magic can't last long, and we will be able to act later." ”

Tan Liang understood what Lao Wang said, and only he could understand some of the meanings in Lao Wang's words, so he immediately nodded and hurried away with a few sailors who had already struggled.

As if the shaft had fallen off, the old king turned around and ran back to the stern platform where the rudder was located, and shouted to the whole ship: "Hold on, young men, let them know that we are not sheep to be slaughtered, and that we must not let the landlubbers of the Holy Roman Empire be disrespectful to us Dutch people on the sea, do you hear me?"

Most of the sailors had already gotten up, and when they heard Lao Wang's words, they roared in unison, and they rushed to their positions, the fear of being attacked by the strange seafarers just now, and the panic of the bow being hit hard by the other party, at this time, led by Lao Wang, all turned into anger, supporting them to drum up their energy, rolling up their sleeves and preparing to return the color.

In fact, this is the role of the captain in naval warfare, similar to the director of a movie, hydrology, route, rudder position, gun position, sail position, etc., the captain has to know everything, but these positions have special duties, no need for the captain to worry about specific technical issues, but when it comes to centering, let the whole team work in one place, this is the captain's ability.

Moreover, at the critical moment, the battle made the sailors desperate, and the captain had to cheer everyone up, so that everyone had hope, and fight again, at sea, about that.

Lao Wang naturally did not systematically study this knowledge, when it comes to talking on paper, he is not as good as Takenaka, or Mary's knowledge He can't catch up, but he became the captain, maybe it is his grandfather's genetic awakening inherited from generation to generation, this kind of combat command talent, he actually has no teacher, after experiencing the actual battlefield, he did it smoothly.

"Click. ”

As Wang expected, there was a cracking sound from the ice that sealed the Xiulan, and Hakan's freezing technique finally dissipated after surviving 1 minute and 30 seconds, and the wind-filled Xiulan burst out with strong momentum again, dragging the dilapidated bow of the ship that was blocked by Ferdinand Kankan into the water, and leaving the place where he had been trapped just now.

Seeing this, Takenaka immediately hit a right full rudder to deflect the direction of the Xiulan, and then corrected the rudder position so that the two ships on the side of the board were as far apart as possible.

The little guy is not a person who is afraid of war, and he can't stand Mary and the gunwales are not fully ready, and then desperately come to a close-range broadside shelling, maybe the Xiulan will be finished under the continuous heavy blows, it is better to beat the ship farther away, so that the distance is up, both sides are not accurate, at least they can win another round of equal competition.

"Tut-tut, there's a smart guy at the helm on the other side. Scarface saw that the two ships were about to face each other again, but the Shirley went a little farther and immediately understood Takenaka's intentions, and said to Hakan and Luke, who were already standing beside him, "How are you doing?"

Hakan had been with him for the longest time, and knew that Scarface should have a plan to take over the broadside when he asked this, and replied: "I'm fine, Luke, Sulubach has been on the second deck, so there is no problem, and just now I was still asking in the team channel when to take over the broadboard." ”

"Hmm. Scar pulled the rudder and muttered: "The rudder position on the opposite side is very bright, and if we continue to fight, if we fight for a long time, it is very likely to affect our main mission, so I don't think we will be slow to pursue small casualties." He switched to the team channel and ordered: "After the next broadside shooting, give them a hole in the T-shaped gunnery position, and fight with them, Sulubach, you can go to the deck!"

"Yes, boss!"

"Hurry, hurry!" Tan Liang cleaned up the deck, and immediately brought a few all-round sailors to the gun position to support.

This time, the side of the two ships on the side of the side is the relatively intact side of the Xiulan, after a few major earthquakes just now, there are still 11 three-pounder guns left up and down, and at this moment under the command of Mary, making tense preparations for cannon opening, but the loss of the headshot just now was too bloody, even if Boss Tan came to support, he still only made preparations for 5 guns in a hurry.

"The rest of the artillery is ready to continue, a few of you are on the right to shoot at the position that is ready, don't grind!"

Mary shouted, glanced at the sea situation hurriedly, saw that the distance between the two ships was about 300 yards, obeyed the instructions of the old king, decisively gave up the salvo, and beckoned the sailors to prepare for the next round of shelling.

This naval battle has been fought so far, both sides have their own advantages, Xiulan is even more disadvantaged, and Lao Wang and they still have the intention of using the artillery battle to weaken the strength of the opponent's selector, and they will stick to it even if they grit their teeth.

280 yards, Xiulan and Seal once again entered the positive position of the broadside to the side of the gunfire, the Xiulan has few gun positions, and can not hit the normal scale of the gunball, the Seal holds back other bad intentions, and seems to be a little absent-minded, a round down, I don't want the two sides to shoot each other this time, and after stirring up more than a dozen water columns, they quickly left the broadside position.

Everyone has been fighting from the afternoon to the sun sinking in the west, in this kind of rounding, they have become accustomed to it, the Xiulan is tense and orderly, Ferdinand has basically solved the problem of rupture and leakage in the bow, and now he is back on the deck, Tan Liang is near the gun position to give Mary a hand, Lao Wang and Takenaka are in the helm position, correcting the course and observing the movement of the seal.

Scarface took the helm with one hand, made a look at Hakan beside him, the lean man understood, the left hand behind his back was slightly pinched, dozens of invisible Xiaoice crystals were condensed in the air, the edge of each piece was as sharp as a knife, like life flying to the main sail that the Seal had just patched, they all found the tight and dense stitches, quickly skimmed, cut all the hemp rope used for stitching, and then disappeared into the air.

The sails of the Seal made an ominous stinging sound again, and the brown patches were blown away by the wind, and some of the mainsails were ripped away, and the wind swished past, and the ship slowed down again.

"Bamboo, you see, the sail patch on the opposite side is not porcelain, and it is open again!"

Lao Wang saw clearly the scene of the sail being blown away in the telescope, and said in an excited tone, luck is really good, just said that the artillery battle fell into a disadvantage, and seeing that the opportunity came again, now even he has to believe that Skula is really magical.

"Uncle, the other party has never made any major mistakes since the start of the war, and mending sails at sea has always been the top priority, how can it be so careless?"

Lao Wang didn't say that Takenaka was killed paranoia this time, it involved fighting, and Lao Wang was also a cautious person, so he didn't say much, and then leaned together to observe the other party.

The sailors on the Seal were in a hurry, the captain in the keeper at the helm was roaring loudly, directing the rescue, and the ice thief and the reckless man with the shield were also running back and forth, and the busy appearance did not look like a fake.

"Bamboo, anyway, we are the first to open the distance and the artillery battle, no matter what conspiracy he has, the distance is there, and the other party can't turn over any flowers. Lao Wang thought for a while and continued to Takenaka: "But it's good to be careful, what do you think?" ”

He had thousands of ghost ideas in the bamboo, only to see his eyes turn sinisterly, and said to Lao Wang: "It's true that I can't find evidence of their conspiracy, but uncle, we are now a hostile war, and we can prevent it, I think it's better to arrange it like this..." ”

"Black, you kid is so dark!" said the old king, looking at the smiling little guy, and hurriedly greeted Mary in the team channel, hurriedly made arrangements, and continued to cheer the sailors into telling them about the recracking of the sails of the rival Seal.

This time, the people of the Netherlands were completely convinced that they had a skulla on their side, and under the command of the old king, they were ready to take the bow of the Seal again.

"Hooked, boss. ”

Hakan reported on the team's channel that he was pretending to separate the crowd on the deck, kicking the two sailors with his foot and yelling at them to go up and mend the sails, but in fact, his eyes had not taken off the Xiulan, and the other side had begun to correct the rudder, and the course was clear at a glance, that is, he was ready to take his bow.

"You know, don't take it lightly. Scarface was a man with the demeanor of a general, and after calmly answering, he ordered: "Second mate, you come over to take over the helm, I will go to see the movement on the other party's ship." ”

Scarface threw the steering wheel away, let a man who had come up take it and continue to operate the ship, and without looking back himself, he walked straight to the bow of the ship, squinting at the track of the Xiulan - sure enough, in 2 minutes at most, he could enter the T-shaped gunnery position.

Hum Hum Hum!

Scarface sneered, the fact that the sail broke again was only known to the four selectors of their team, the sailors thought it was true, and the performance was naturally true, even if the other party was a cautious person, he couldn't find any clues through the phenomenon on the deck, speaking of which, he really wanted to thank the previous chain shot, all this looked more like the real thing, Scarface gently restrained his smile and ordered: "Sulubach, prepare your gadgets, listen to my orders later, and rush up." ”

"Boss ready, you're going to scare the jaws out of these idiots!" heard an urn sound over the team's channel as a medium-sized man in a leather robe poked his head out of the Seal's cabin with a bow and arrow.

The Seal nervously repaired the sails, and the Xiulan cruised in an arc, and the two ships were like moving forward on a clock dial, rowing precise scales.

Just as the Xiulan was about to reach the one o'clock position of the seal, Scarface's squinted eyes suddenly opened, and he shouted, "Now!"

The archer man listened to the order and crushed a round ball in his hand, bursting with crystal dust, and a large number of bubbles suddenly gushed out from the bottom of the stern of the seal, and the hull of the ship was like the Xiulan that had just been frozen in ice, and it shook suddenly, but the Xiulan was stopped urgently, and the seal was started at high speed, in the case of weak sails, it was really like a seal, chopping waves, and the distance of less than 200 yards was instantaneous at this speed, even if Takenaka was a god on the helm, it was too late to react!

There are means, you can stop and get up suddenly!

Lao Wang understood, and secretly said in his heart, it turned out that they wanted to take overboard, the opponent was not stupid, it was about an artillery battle before, if they could clean themselves up without blood, it would be the best, but now they are impatient, and they don't want to continue to consume, so they want to board the ship directly and kill people!

"Everyone gathered in the bow and stern, stood on the starboard side, ready to resist the impact, battle sailors, all ready!" Lao Wang's voice sounded very calm, fortunately he was prepared, he simply couldn't dodge, so put people up and come to melee combat!

"Click, boom!" The seal's fangs bit into the body of the Xiulan, and half of the bow was embedded in the middle of the hull, and the guns, parts, sundries, and even personnel on the decks on both sides were knocked into the air and fell into the sea or on the deck.

"Grandma, I haven't used this ship for a few days, you guys will spoil me!" Lao Wang felt a pain in his flesh, and then looked at the bow of the ship cut in on the opposite side, in the midst of the flying sawdust, Scarface and the big black man led a group of combat sailors to charge forward, and the thin man and a man with a bow and arrow behind him, shouting the trumpet and rushing through the seam of the two ships to fill the Xiulan.

"Whooping and shouting, do you really think you have calculated accurately?" Lao Wang smiled contemptuously and pursed the corners of his mouth, leaned against the railing on the side of the ship, tilted his head and said to Mary beside him: "Light the fire." ”

"Boom!"

The two shotguns were ignited in Mary's delicate smile, the grape projectiles were scattered, the expression on Scar's face gradually froze, looking at the cannon muzzle with green smoke coming out on the opposite side, how could he not understand in his heart, this is the shotgun used by the enemy to clean the deck.

But how could there be a shotgun in this place? Would someone put the shotgun in the bow and stern on the side side? And even if it did, why would the muzzle be in the deck?

"Luke!" he instinctively shouted.

The big black man took a step forward, and the tower shield barely sealed the frontal wounded area of the team, and as soon as he lifted it, a projectile the size of a quail egg also shot at this time, smashing on the fine iron tower shield, and the bell sparked in all directions!
