Chapter Seventy-One: The Charming Siren

The next three minutes are almost the performance time of the other side's shelling! Despite the fact that both corsair ships had a high center of gravity, each shelling had to shake significantly. But they were still shaking in this way, maintaining a broadside volley every two minutes! This kind of efficiency is enough to make the gunners of the "Kraken" who could not reload the guns in four minutes be ashamed to death!

Lu Yuan drove the sailboat, interspersed with dodging in the rain of bullets, but in the end he couldn't find a better opportunity. On the way back slightly, the last could only use the three guns on the port side to tear the sails of the "St. Andrews" open a large hole and reduce its speed slightly.

The seven guns on the starboard side, each shot took ten minutes to reload, which was something that Lu Yuan couldn't bear, and before finding a better chance, Lu Yuan could only choose not to fire and maintain the ability to deter.

The superb naval combat skills of the "Barrier" and the "St. Andrews" are impressive! They approached in a double helix posture, and every minute there would be a sideside salvo, gradually pressing the "Kraken" towards the side of the reef!

"Wait! Captain! August suddenly shouted, and his face turned pale! He saw that everyone was looking at him, so he could only lean next to Lu Yuan and whisper, "Captain, I remember, this is the 'coral reef lair'!" ”

"Oh" Lu Yuan just said a simple oh, then stopped speaking, and continued to fight back, while simply breaking away a short distance and taking the initiative to drive in the direction of bypassing the coral reef.

August scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, not noticing his appearance in the slightest. It made the ship even more panicked.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly grabbed Lu Yuan's "Navigation Diary" and flipped to the battlefield map he had drawn!

Now the form on the battlefield is that all three ships are moving clockwise around the island. With the Kraken in front and the Barrier behind, the St. Andrews may have fallen behind the furrow due to a problem with the sails.

August pointed to the narrow waterway behind the reef and said, "Here! It looks like it is navigable, but in fact, there are coral reefs under the surface of the sea, and the water level is very shallow. Although it is okay to look at it. Ships can't actually pass through here! Their goal is to plug us inside with a Galen ship! He drew another line, "The other ship is now deliberately left behind, and he will circle the other side of the island in a moment, and shoot at us from the other side of the reef!" ”

"Caught on both sides. We will surely die! August smashed his head. With a gloomy face, he said, "The terrain here." Someone had told me before, but I just remembered it...... Those guys are locals, and they must know it very well! ”

Lu Yuan continued to sail the sailboat. It seems to be defenseless and got into the "pocket"! Immediately Galen entered the waterway, and its wide hull blocked the waterway. On the other side, the "St. Andrews" immediately turned around and accelerated towards the other side of the island. Even if it was separated by a small island, Lu Yuan could hear the cheers coming from above!

"It's over......" August put down his notebook and squatted there weakly.

"August, August, August...... Why don't you understand? The enemy's trap is often our opportunity, don't think about giving up early! Lu Yuan suddenly opened the whole sail and made the whole ship float with a big wave!" The reef is 1.4 meters below water level, our hold is only a third full, and it is a weightless commodity like tobacco, and the Kraken has a draft of only 2.2 meters! But look at the current waves!? ”

Lu Yuan swayed the rudder, and the ship glided along the peak of the waves like a climb, sailing to the top of a mountain with huge waves! This 50-meter-long wave lifted the "Kraken" high! Let her easily jump out of the so-called "trap"!

"If you want to talk about the terrain, we are the most familiar one!" Lu Yuan said arrogantly! With all the 3D maps, how could he not know the distribution of the reefs?!

The sailors of the Galen sailboat behind him watched in amazement, the Kraken actually sailed on a wave up to two meters high!? It was a miraculous scene, and they were speechless!

I watched the Kraken easily jump out of the trap, but it couldn't do it! Because the Galen ship is now loaded with 24 cannons alone! And there are hundreds of sailors, and the draft is extremely deep!

He could only hurriedly turn back, ready to rush out of the waterway. But before that, the St. Andrews had to face the Kraken alone!

Suddenly, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the "Kraken", which had become a fish on the chopping board, jumped out of the trap by taking advantage of the storm's waves...... On the contrary, the two Ed regiments fell into a situation where they would be broken by each of them!

"Now, it's our turn!" Lu Yuan shouted! The atmosphere on the ship became like a flame from the moment of a miraculous jump! "Long live Kolybusso, the god of the sea!" The sailors, who thought that they had been blessed by the god of the sea, were gearing up, holding their breath and glaring, and followed the "Kraken" to approach the Caravel unscrupulously.

And the muzzle of the fat sailboat, which was now shaken by the sea, was raised high and completely lost the angle of fire.

Lu Yuan drove the boat, passed under the enemy's gun without any scruples, and gave the order to shoot at a distance of less than five meters! “Fire!”

Almost clinging to the port side of the enemy ship, the three guns above fired a small salvo! Because the scale of the shot was small, considering that even the hull of the ship could not cause much damage during the mission, Lu Yuan aimed at the rudder on the opponent's ass this time......... The rudder of the ship broke off in response! The "St. Andrews" Caravel clipper collapsed there as if it had a broken leg! Swirled in place by the wind.

The "St. Andrews", which had a broken leg, could only look at the "Siren" angrily, and Shi Shiran passed by it!

When the long and narrow hull of the Siren crossed the side side, everyone from the captain to the gunner breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had been freed from the Kraken's gaze! The statue of the beautiful woman on the bow of the Kraken. It's terrifyingly weird! It's like Kolybuso, the god of the sea!

The rudder is broken, and each ship will prepare a spare one before going to sea, and it is really not possible to make do with long oars, so it is actually very easy to repair, but it must not be on the battlefield......

The galleon on the opposite side originally wanted to take advantage of the trembling of the "Kraken" and "St. Andrews" to come to the last gunsoft salvo! Unfortunately, with a slight turn after the shooting, the "Kraken" used the hull of the "St. Andrews", which was twice as tall as itself, like a wall of wall, to block the firing path of the "Barrier".

The Barrier was unable to get past those reefs. I couldn't even find a chance to shoot. I could only turn the bow of the boat in a hurry. While praying that the St. Andrews would hold out until the moment they came out of the waterway.

"Hold on! Damn it! What happened to them? "The captain of the Barrier has just been killed, and he is replaced by the real boss of the Elder Regiment, a wild man named "Admiral in Black"! Just now, he used his skilful command to force the Kraken into a trap.

However, the current situation made him very puzzled...... the "St. Andrews" was only a broken rudder. It's still too early to sink! According to his estimates. Just the pitiful ten cannons of the "Kraken". Even if the "St Andrews" stood and did not return fire, it would be able to withstand at least four rounds of shelling before it reached its limit!

But what does the "St. Andrews" mean by its flustered signal now? The meaning of that confusion is simply not understood! Could it be that the other party wants to take advantage of this opportunity to escape? He waved his hand, "Speed up and make a U-turn!" Don't let our prey go! ”

"Oh!!" The pirates on board roared excitedly! The escape of the prey once again makes them even more angry! They struggled to control it. Let the Galen sailboat turn in place in the wind, in the narrow waterway, and turn around perfectly!

"No!" Suddenly, the current captain of the Galen sailing ship "Barrier", a man named "Admiral in Black", let out a scream that pierced through the wind and rain! He finally realized that something was wrong! It's a pity that it doesn't help anymore!

Using the tall hull of the Caravel as cover, the Kraken didn't actually leave! She only nimbly circled around the "St. Andrews", and then, like a quick knife, flashed out of the back of the Caravel ship, re-mastered the waves, and jumped into the narrow waterway again!

And just then, the galleon had just turned its bulky body and revealed its most fragile ass to the Siren—its tall, ornate stern!

"No !!!"

The Kraken slashed like a demon knife with all its might!

The classic design of the Galen ship is to retain the tall stern, and at the stern, there are important rooms such as the captain's cabin and the officer's quarters, and this is not the end. Each Galen ship was built with huge floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, a suspended cloister outside, and exceptionally ornate wood carvings and gilded decorations...... It can be said that although the Galen ship has four backward cannons in the tail, their defense is not worth mentioning!

And the Kraken was like a peerless assassin, and when she appeared, the seven cannons were almost on the big ass of the galleon!

“Fire!!!” Lu Yuan's command pierced through the wind and rain, and the sight of him and the black-clothed admiral also penetrated the wind and rain, intertwined in an instant!

At such a close distance, it is a bayonet on a cannon...... The seven guns on the starboard side that have been retained until now do not need to be aimed at all, and the seven gunners fire together!

"Boom!" It rang into a salvo that almost rang out! The recoil of the artillery pushed the Kraken away from the Barrier! Galen's ass is banged to bloom like a chrysanthemum!

Flying shards of glass and broken wood enveloped the deck of the Siren! Quite a few sailors screamed and were hit by fragments. Lu Yuan's hand quickly grabbed a few times in the air, he shook his hand and threw the flying glass shards into the sea!

The Siren took advantage of the strong wind to turn in place for most of the time, and sailed out from the stern of the Galen ship, crossing the reef again...... She came and went as freely as if there were no reefs! The Kraken is as nimble as a fish in the midst of a storm!

The Barrier, which remained in place, completely smashed the entire stern! The four cannons originally arranged here are also missing, leaving only an empty big black hole, poured seawater, and the sorrowful screams of countless people!

"Keep loading! We've won! Lu Yuan shouted loudly, and all the sailors cheered! Despite the fact that the opposing side has several times more personnel than theirs! But it can't stand the elusive Kraken!

"We've won!" The stormtroopers shouted as they leapt on the side of the ship! It's a pity that if you don't beat the other party to less than three digits, it is impossible to board the ship! But at that time, it meant that more than two-thirds of them were killed, and they probably surrendered a long time ago.

"Oh God! How did you do it! Is this really something my ship can do?! "August is going crazy.

"You don't know your own ship at all! As for tactics, it wasn't me, it was invented by a great man! He crossed the same river four times and defeated enemies many times stronger than him! Lu Yuan drove the "Kraken" in a circle, the "Barrier" was paralyzed, and he was ready to clean up the "St. Andrews" first.

"You're an unimaginable person! The Kraken is right in your hands! I think you should have been driving her all the time! August said very sincerely.

"Hehe, don't worry! The Kraken won't be our end. Not mine, not yours, we'll have a better ship! ”

At this time, he saw the artillery commanders of the seven groups running towards him.

"What's wrong?"

"Captain...... No, there are no shells......"

"Don't joke with me! Now is the most critical ...... Feed! Auguste, what's that look on your face!? ”

"Captain...... Ah no, it was the former captain who said he wanted to save money, so ...... Ten shells were prepared without a cannon, but the gunpowder was enough. The gunners had to explain.

Lu Yuan looked back at August with a smile, "With half a base of ammunition, you dare to go out and rob?" Do you think naval battles are easy?! ”

"Isn't this ......," August rubbed his hands embarrassedly, "isn't there no money, everyone's salaries are still owed!" I didn't dare to tell you...... his voice was like a mosquito humming, but Lu Yuan was still quite clear, "Why don't I surrender." ”

Lu Yuan was dumbfounded, who Nima said that this person was straightforward?!

But the war continues! He thought for a moment and ordered, "The artillery is only loaded with gunpowder, aim as usual!" Then signal them to surrender! ”

There were no flags at this time, but pirates seemed to have their own way of communicating. After passing the words and shouting, August brought a very embarrassing message, "The admiral of the other party has issued a challenge to you!" It is expected that the fate of the fleet will be decided by the victory or defeat of both sides......"

"Tell him, I promised!" (To be continued......)
