On the vast sea, there is a three-masted sail warship that is moving forward under the strong impetus of the strong wind. The reflection of the white sail in the blue sea is just as described in the beautiful poem, "as if it is a shocking shadow".

On the deck of the Ranger, two men were facing each other with swords, one of them with flowing silver hair and a proper black garment (shēn), looking personable; His opponent, dressed in a white (shēn) painted gold tuxedo, with long brown hair draped over his shoulders and a large French nose that was striking was clearly at the bottom of the fight. He seems to be a little restrained, so that he can't always cast his moves.

"Louie, take it easy, the battle relies on instinct, too much tension will affect the performance of strength!" These two were Rhaegar and Louis XVI, but Rhaegar spoke up.

"I'll do my best~" Louis XVI nodded, let out a long sigh of relief, and locked his gaze on Rhaegar (shēn). In his hand was a slender silver sword with a hollow carved gauntlet on the hilt.

Rhaegar smiled and nodded, a person's (xìng) personality will affect his fighting style, a cautious person will be more defensive people, a casual and light person likes to dodge, and a quick and impulsive person will like to attack, in order to change Louis XVI's restrained fighting style, it will take time to develop his confidence in his swordsmanship.

There is a saying that "the country is easy to change, but the present (xìng) is difficult to change", which cannot be changed with just a few words. (Of course, being cautious is sometimes not a bad thing, such as Obi-Wan's "Turtle Flow with Iron Walls", which can always find an opportunity to counter-kill the enemy, which is the so-called preemptive strike, which contains the truth of Taiji~)

I saw the knight's sword in Rhaegar stabbing forward, facing Louis XVI's (xiōng) mouth and stabbing it in the middle. Of course, he is naturally measured under his hands, and for beginners, it is often easier to deal with attacks that stab at the vital point, because (shēn) understands instinctive dodging and defense. Similarly, successfully blocking or dodging such a fatal blow would have built up Louis XVI's confidence in his swordsmanship more quickly.

Louis XVI subconsciously raised the thin sword in his hand upward, and opened Rhaeggar's knight's sword to the right.

"Good! Good! Seeing Louis XVI's perfect block, Rhaegar looked pleased, put away his sword, and clapped softly: "Look, that's why I told you to relax!" Follow your feelings, and many times, the battle is based on the instinct of the body (shēn), often without thinking, and it has already been slashed with a sword. ”

Louis XVI nodded slightly, he already felt the feeling of being a finger, as if the sword in his hand had become part of his (shēn) body.

"Now, you're attacking me!" Rhaegar drew the knight's sword at his waist again, played a sword flower, put on a defensive stance, and smiled.

When Louis XVI heard this, he immediately began to attack, brandishing his sword and stabbing at Rhaeggar. In fact, the thin sword in his hand is just right for attack, but it is a little worse for defense, according to Han Xing's opinion, most of the time the use of the thin sword is mainly to dodge, not to block, after all, the sword (shēn) of the thin sword is less than 1 cm wide, and if it encounters a heavy weapon, it is likely to break.

Rhaegar sometimes raised his sword to block, sometimes moved left and right, and walked back quickly, his steps were light and agile, and his face did not change as if he was dancing. Louis XVI's rapier had some rules at first, but gradually it became the legendary "Heavenly Demon Dance" because of the disorder of breath, not only did he not touch a single hair of Rhaegar, but he was tired and panting, and finally he simply lay down first.

Rhaegar backhanded the knight's sword behind (shēn), then stretched out his left hand and pulled Louis XVI up, then said in a gentle, steady, magnetic (xìng) voice like a collision of musical notes: "This is the second lesson I taught you!" ”

"First of all, keep your feet steady, no matter how good your swordsmanship is, if you make a mistake in your steps during the battle, or even fall, it will put you in the most dangerous situation!"

"Secondly, it is to save as much energy as possible! Everyone's stamina and stamina are slightly different, high or low, but everyone has a limit, and to win, you have to learn to conserve your stamina. Make sure you have the strength left when the opponent runs out of stamina, so that you can come back from defeat to victory. ”

"So, don't do those fancy moves, don't use all your strength with every blow, and don't use too many wide opening and closing moves. Especially based on your xìng and physique, I recommend that you choose a fighting style that is defensive and counter-attacking. ”

"Defensive counterattack?" Louis XVI asked, as if he didn't understand.

"That's right, defend and counterattack! Your Rapier has an advantage in speed and attack frequency, and it is light and agile, saving your stamina to the greatest extent. If used correctly, you can easily defeat even any enemy that doesn't have armor! Rhaegar nodded. This is also the main reason why in the age of firearms, knights' swords were replaced by lighter and more flexible bayonet swords, light sabers, and sabers. Heavy knightly swords were used to break armor, and with the spread of firearms, the knights wearing armor on the battlefield were almost extinct.

"So, let me ask you, what would you do if you used defensive counterattacks as your fighting style and encountered the kind of qíng situation you just had?" Rhaegar asked with a smile, this was also his teaching style, which drove Louis XVI to think for himself, rather than blindly indoctrinate unilaterally.

"I don't think I'm going to catch up!" Louis XVI thought for a moment.

"It's close, and where?" Rhaegar nodded with satisfaction.

"Then, I'll ······ Pull out a pistol (shè) and strike! When Rhaegar heard Louis XVI's answer, his watch (qíng) was visibly stunned, and the whole person was stunned.

It feels like saying: "Wo, there is this kind of (cāo) work~ I'm old, I'm outdated, times have changed·····" I wonder if our Prince Rhaegar will feel a deep sense of frustration and powerlessness welling up in his heart.

"Hahaha~ Genius! Louie, you are really a genius~ You are actually self-taught, and you know how to combine long-range and melee combat~" Han Xing said with a heartless smile when he heard this.

"This is also a way~" Rhaegar still looked deeply shocked, and his face was gloomy.

Fortunately, he had a strong psychological quality, and he quickly cheered up again and said, "However, this is not what I want to say····· I have to say that the introduction of muskets into melee combat does make up for your lack of physical strength. ”

"But what I'm trying to say is that when confronted with an enemy who is more nimble than you, you should consider slowly backing away and looking for tight spaces to limit the opponent's movements, or slowly move closer to your teammates for cover. In short, staying vigilant and slowly retreating is the right way. This is actually the same as military tactics. Don't go deep alone, play slow and fast. Rhaegar said slowly in a voice as gentle as jade.

"Land was found at ten o'clock!" Lyanna's voice suddenly came from the mast, and under the blowing of the sea breeze, it became as crisp and pleasant as the collision of wind chimes, quietly ethereal.

"That's all for today's swordsmanship lesson!" Rhaegar's long sword was put into the sheath and said lightly. Then he walked over to Lyanna, who had climbed down from the mast, and saw Rhaegar in the distance scraping the tip of Lyanna's nose as if he was disgusted, and then whispered softly with a pulse (qíng).

The journey from Jamaica to Guadeloupe lasted a day and a half, during which the Ranger was not alone in the vast seas, and had encountered several merchant ships and even unknown ships with ambiguous attitudes. However, when they found out that the Ranger was a cruiser, most of them chose Yang Fan to leave.

It's the Caribbean, famous for its piracy and rum, not the Garden of Eden under God's protection, so try to figure out the worst as you can, pirates, not just the ones with the skull flag! Sometimes, a merchant ship that looks very serious can be a pirate who wants your life!

The wide sea, the weaving of trading ships, can evoke the dark side of greed, ugliness, and unearned gains, and the boundless sea is a place outside the law, breeding infinite evil. A lonely, slow-moving trading ship can easily become a fat sheep in the eyes of pirates and even some privateers.

And privateer captains are several times more terrifying than pirates, don't look at them as serious businessmen on the surface, in fact, as long as they have the opportunity, they will do a "big" vote. Therefore, in the Caribbean, you should never be careless and gullible, let alone be merciful, and pirate ships will even disguise themselves as shipwrecks to attract passing merchant ships to visit them.

This is very similar to the old man who touches porcelain and fakes falling~ However, in real life, being merciful, the most unfortunate thing to encounter is to make you fall for your family (dàng) property; In the Caribbean, if you are merciful, you will end up in a place where you will become a fish and turtle and die without a burial (shēn)!

Fortunately, the Ranger was a fast cruiser, extremely fast, and a typical ocean-going military warship, so those who had bad intentions did not dare to easily flirt with the tiger's whiskers, so the Ranger sailed unharmed to the city of Basseterre on the island of Guadeloupe.

"I used to think that the Caribbean was just a remote margin, poor, barren, full of deserted islands, like ghosts! Unexpectedly, Basseterre is such a beautiful city, with blue seas and blue skies, green waters and green mountains, as well as beautiful and romantic twilight (rì)~" Louis XVI stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the mountains and rivers, and the golden sunset (rì) reflected the city of Basseterre, and sighed.

At this time, it is already dusk, the sky is full of red clouds, can you not rush the night road or not, the sea at night is very dangerous. Therefore, Han Xing got off the boat and led people towards the tavern.

In a Caribbean port city, there must be a tavern in a prominent position, and Han Xing easily found a wooden signboard under the pretext, which reads: two glasses containing golden wine collided, and a large number of white wine bubbles almost came out of the mouth of the glass.

Obviously, this is the tavern! Through the two doors that were exposed, Han Xing could hear the boiling voices coming from inside, including singing, clinking glasses, loud conversations, rude shouting, and the sound of shaking dice.
