In this way, the Unicorn sailed at sea for two days, and the sea was calm until one morning......

"Report to Captain Haddock! About fifteen nautical miles ahead of the port side, a ship was spotted approaching! The sailor, who was standing on the top of the mast and was on duty, noticed something unusual, and he folded his hands to his lips and shouted down to Francis: "I am not sure of the origin and purpose of the other party!" ”

"Really? Let me take a closer look at what's going on! Captain Francis, who was standing on deck, quickly pulled out his monoculars and looked forward.

"What a hell of a life!" Captain Francis muttered, "That ship...... It's coming this way, isn't it trying to stop our bow? Are you planning to divide my rum? ”

"Yo he. Looks like these guys are menacing! Guan Heng ran to the captain's side, he looked up, and said, "Captain, that ship is driving so fast, it rushed over directly!" ”

"Look!" Guan Heng narrowed his eyes and pointed to the top of the other party's mast thousands of miles away, and he shouted loudly in his heart: "The other party is still raising the flag!" ”

"Your kid's eyes are pretty pointy!" Captain Francis smiled slightly: "I'll see what flag they are flying!" ”

Francis stared carefully through his monoculars and suddenly let out a strange roar: "See his big-headed ghost!" It's a skull flag! That's a pirate ship! ”

"Guan Heng! Immediately call everyone on alert, and hurry to inform the gun bays below deck to prepare for launch! Francis yelled at Guan Heng: "Hurry, go immediately!" ”

"Order, Captain!" Guan Heng glanced at Qin'er who was following him, and the two of them ran away in succession, and went straight to the gun bay below the deck, shouting along the way: "The pirates are coming!" All the crew members are on alert, copy the guys, brothers! ”

"Oooo The crew agreed loudly, and they immediately ran actively on the ship. Slightly experienced seafarers know that the pirates on this route are cruel and murderous, and the only way to survive is to put up desperate resistance, so there may be a chance to survive!

Everyone was busy preparing powder boxes and shells, rubbing the scimitar around their waists with cables, and preparing all the muskets they could fire on!

"Attention everyone!" Captain Francis shouted with a loudspeaker in his hand, "Prepare for battle...... Man your posts...... Rudder ......"

"Ah Heng, do you think we can win against the pirates?" At this time, Qin'er took the position of gunner, and she whispered to Guan Heng, who was loading the shells, "I always feel that the Unicorn is dangerous now!" ”

"Afraid of what?" Guan Heng smiled slightly: "Our sports car can change the flight mode, once the situation is not good, we can escape directly!" ”

"Still, I'm not worried about Francis. Haddock's safety! Guan Heng said: "If he dies, the Captain Adoc we know will also disappear as his descendant, so I will stay to protect Francis's life!" ”

"But in the past two days, I've learned a lot about the Unicorn with the captain!" Guan Heng said softly to Qin'er: "This ship is not a fully combat-ready gunboat, but just an armed merchant cargo ship, and it is estimated that it cannot completely defeat the pirate ship in terms of strength!" ”

Guan Heng's guess was not bad at all, under the command of Captain Francis, the Unicorn tried its best to get rid of the pirate ship, and at the risk of the main mast being blown off by the strong wind, it pulled all the sails and turned the rudder to sail downwind!

There is no doubt that there is no chance of winning a merchant cargo ship vs a corsair ship, and Francis is the right strategy to do so! However, a very bad situation happened!

The wolf-like pirate ship is lightweight and convenient, and its rudder speed is much faster than that of the Unicorn loaded with cargo, and the pirates chase after the ship with the wind!

"Captain, this is not good!" Guan Heng quietly walked to Francis's side at this time, and he said softly: "I don't think it's better to do this, you give an order, turn the stern of the Unicorn, and just hit the pirate ship against the wind, wait until the two ships close the distance in parallel, and then bombard him with the underdeck gunner, so that you can hit the other party hard!" ”

"Hmm...... Guan Heng, your suggestion is very bold! Francis touched his chin and thought about it for a few seconds, he got up and said helplessly: "But the enemy is outnumbered, and the strength is very different, so we only have such a way to win in danger!" ”

"Well, command the Unicorn!" Guan Heng said: "I'll fire this cannon!" ”

"Okay, Guan Heng! It's all up to you to launch this all-important one-shot shot! Francis waved his hand to Guan Heng: "I have confidence in you, hurry up and prepare!" ”

"Yes, Captain! Just look at my performance! Guan Heng agreed, and flew down the back deck, he thought to himself: "If I can sink the pirate ship in one fell swoop, that would be the best, but this possibility is basically equal to zero!" ”

Below the rear deck, this is the position of the main guns on the rear side of the Unicorn, Guan Heng carefully aimed at the direction, slowly pushed the wheels of the gun, stuffed it into the external launch window, and then said to Qin'er beside him: "I will shout to load the cannonballs in a while, you act immediately, don't delay the opportunity, whether you can hit the opponent's ship, it depends on the performance of the two of us!" ”

"Oh yes!" Qin'er smiled nervously: "It's so exciting, I can't wait!" ”

"All in place! Take good care of yourself, don't tremble your legs like a rookie! The sailor shouted and reminded: "When the cannon is fired, remember to hold your body and don't throw yourself into the sea!" ”

At this moment, the Unicorn was heading against the wind, and it was about to run parallel to the pirate ship, and Captain Francis shouted loudly: "The aft deck guns are in place, you boy are ready to go-"

The Unicorn turned so quickly that the pirate ship was caught by surprise, and they could only watch as the royal merchant cargo ship pounced on them, getting closer and closer!

"Ready—fire me!" Francis roared angrily, and the gun position on the rear side of the ship, Qin'er had already filled the shells, and Guan Heng used a torch to burn the cannon rope, "Boom!! ”

The deafening sound of artillery fire caused the sea to be filled with gunsmoke, and under the strong vibration, Qin'er was shocked and fell into Guan Heng's arms!

"Look! Hit! Guan Heng didn't care about Qin'er's safety, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed at the pirate ship in front of him: "These guys' ship has been damaged!" ”

"Alas, what a pity!" Francis slammed his fist on the deck against the guardrail: "It's good luck that these pirates who are dog-gnawed cats scratch their faces didn't hit the ship!" ”

After the pirate ship was damaged, it turned away, and the sharp-eyed crew of the Unicorn shouted, "Look! They—they've hoisted the bunting! ”
