Chapter 252: Congratulations, Robbery!
"Itchy hands!" In fact, Wang Xuan used to be able to shoot, but his skills were not good and the time was short...... No, no, it's worse than Lao Yang.
However, Wang Xuan is different now, he has already asked the system, this sharpshooter skill is mainly aimed at shooting talent, not just firearms.
Although the principle of cannon and gun is the same, there is still a difference after all, Wang Xuan has to try his hand first, what if the other party struggles to resist when he is doing something!
Instructed the lookout to search for a small reef nearby, and the helmsman cooperated to drive to the vicinity, about 1,000 meters away, the reef looked small, Wang Xuan adjusted the angle of the gun while feeling the rhythm of the boat in the sea.
Shooting on the water is different from shooting on the ground, and you have to feel the rhythm of the sea.
Pull the running bolt suddenly, "Boom! There was a loud bang, and a large column of water erupted near the island and reef, although it did not hit the target, but it was definitely not far away.
"Beautiful!" Lao Yang praised on the side, "Young Master, this cannon technique has improved!" ”
Wang Xuan shook his head, he still has to practice, the difference is not small!
But forget it today, it's important to get down to business for a while, and if he scares away the prey, it's not easy for him to go back.
In his boredom, he went up to the watchtower and down to the boiler room, and he walked it all over.
Suddenly, he found a problem, when it comes to fighting, these guys are not a problem, even if the helmsman can cut people with a knife, but when it comes to sailing...... Just like that, more than 10 people will!
This is not good, the goods on the ship may not be worth as much as a ship, it's just that this thing is not easy to sell!
He didn't have to wait too long, and the lookout shouted, "The target has appeared!" ”
Wang Xuan ran to the watchtower in three steps and two steps, took a single-way telescope and looked at it.
The multiplier is really small, this is Wang Xuan's first reaction, and after looking at it carefully for a few minutes, as the two boats get closer and closer, Wang Xuan can see each other's appearance clearly.
An iron ship that is definitely more than 1,000 tons, Wang Xuan doesn't know how many specifically, but it seems that the hull is a little wide, and it obviously looks like a transport ship.
Wang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was a transport ship, as for which country it belonged to, he didn't care at all!
The other party obviously also discovered Wang Xuan's boat, but he didn't care too much after finding out that it was a wooden boat, which is also where Luo Sanpao is cunning, he has always insisted on using a wooden boat just to reduce the vigilance of the enemy!
As the two ships got closer and closer, Wang Xuan ran directly to the bow position, and when the distance was less than two thousand meters, Wang Xuan shouted loudly: "Full speed forward, left rudder, close to them!" ”
As a puff of black smoke rose from the chimney, the Water Dragon began to increase its maximum speed from cruising speed.
When the other boat found out that something was wrong, Wang Xuan was already close to about 1,000 meters.
The enemy clearly noticed that something was wrong and immediately accelerated while deflecting the course, and pushed a cannon out of the hold!
These merchant ships are all long distances, and they will more or less run into pirates and the like, so it is still useful to prepare a cannon as a deterrent!
Wang Xuan also saw the cannon launched by the other party from a distance, but he didn't know how much caliber it was.
He's an unscrupulous pirate, and he's not prepared to play by the rules!
"Lao Yang, take off the artillery jacket and bomb them!"
"Yes!"
This time, it was Wang Xuan who personally operated the cannon, adjusted the angle of the gun, felt the tremor of the ship, grasped the feeling of a moment, and pulled his arm.
"Boom!"
The cannon body trembled violently, and the cannonball flew straight towards the opponent's big ship in a wonderful arc!
The other party was also taken aback by Wang Xuan's sudden shot, but he didn't dodge, normally speaking, pirates fired cannons for deterrence, at least the first few shells would not be aimed at the ship.
After all, if you really hit a critical part, such as the waterline or the boiler room, then the huge trauma will silence the ship directly, and the pirates will lose anything!
Unless it is confirmed that it cannot be approached, it will not easily risk sinking and firing at the ship.
And the merchant ships will also fight back, if the pirates really catch up, they will simply surrender, and it is better to be killed a few people to vent their anger than to be sunk.
Of course, these are all conventional rules, but they are invalid for Wang Xuan!
Wang Xuan was aiming at the other party's deck, within a distance of less than 1 kilometer, the target provided by the huge hull was too big, a cannonball hit the stern, and the huge explosion and air wave directly blew up several foreign devils in the tail into the air, and the flesh and blood were all over the sky!
In the firelight, the entire stern of the hull sank, and a large hole was directly blown out of the deck, and the broken shrapnel flew in all directions, hitting the edge of the ship with a "knock knock".
Even the cannon that had just been pushed out was turned to the ground, but fortunately the shell did not explode, otherwise......
Pretty!
Wang Xuan shook his fist violently, "Damn, it's much cooler than a thug/gun!" ”
This explosion, this visual shock, Wang Xuan couldn't help but shudder!
This cannon completely suppressed the other party, and the captain immediately ordered the ship to stop, this is a killer!
As for the people who have just been blown up, I can only silently say sorry and hope they can go to heaven!
Seeing that the other party stopped the ship, Wang Xuan shook his head regretfully, and didn't make any more moves, as the two boats approached, the other party directly raised the white flag!
The imaginary shootout did not happen, the other party was afraid of death after all, and the goods could continue to be purchased if they were lost, but if their lives were gone, there would be nothing!
Wang Xuan walked over after the two ships set up planks, and when he got closer, he found that the other party should have a displacement of about 2,000 tons, which was four times larger than Wang Xuan's water dragon.
The other party said a lot to Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan, who listened to it, frowned, and after changing English and Dutch in a row, Wang Xuan lost patience and flew over directly.
With a bang, he kicked the opposing captain out more than three meters away, lying on the ground and unable to get up for a while!
"Get all of them on the deck and give Lao Tzu = search! Don't let go of every corner! ”
Wang Xuan took ten of the most vicious guys to look at this group of people, and the other fifty or so people rushed into the cabin to rummage, and it was unlikely that someone would come back one after another to report.
"Captain, the harvest is not small, there is more than 1 ton of opium."
Wang Xuan glanced at it, what does Lao Tzu want opium for?
"What about the others?"
"Uh, cloth, grain, lumps of iron, and stuff!"
Wang Xuan shook his head and sighed, it's terrible to be uneducated, but these things really don't have much effect on them, so opium and cloth are worth a little, they can't eat too much on the grain island, and industrial products can't be consumed.
"Gold and silver weapons, opium cloth removed, that's all!"
"The cannon was moved too?"
"Yes!"
"Oh good!"
Sending his men away, Wang Xuan thought about a group of Portuguese who had been detained together.
"Do you speak English?" Wang Xuan spoke a standard London accent, seeing that this person was at a loss, he kicked over and made him unable to get up for a long time, Wang Xuan continued to ask the next person.
After kicking four more people in a row, finally one guy cringed and said he could speak.
Wang Xuan looked at the other party with a smile and said, "Come, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, help me find four people who can speak Chinese, if you can't find it, I'll cut off your limbs!" ”
