Brig Seawolf:

Brigs as commercial ships were common cargo ships in the early days. Although it is not as good as a schooner, it can sail in the wind, but as a schooner, under the command of an experienced captain, it can completely achieve "elegant and free" handling, and the brig can even turn around on the spot. Because of its fast speed and easy maneuverability, brigs have also become a common type of ship used by pirates.

——————

"Identification" is not just a golden finger for the contractor, and the aborigines also have a way of obtaining detailed information about the ship's properties.

"Boarding the ship, captain, boarding the ship is our only chance." August suggested in a whisper.

Don't look at his passionate performance just now, in fact, August is a person with a lot of ideas, which is not commensurate with his rugged appearance. He sighed secretly, thinking about his share of up to 25,000 pesos, even if it was worth it! Although his truest thought in his heart was that we had better turn and run now, because there was no comparison between the two ships in terms of performance!

August is the owner of the "Kraken", the performance of this ship. He knows better than anyone.

The other party is a super four-star legendary battleship, both in speed and steerability, it is a lot higher than the normal Brig brig! And as a battleship that has been promoted to a legend, it must also have a special "attribute" like magic - that kind of thing may be a useless "night lighting", or it may be a "diving course" against the sky! No one knows what to do without coming out.

Of course, without counting that special "attribute", the performance can also throw the intact "Kraken" seven or eight blocks away! And even more so the now wounded "Kraken"? What's more, the other side is also armed with twenty-four 32-pounder guns! The projectile weight of that cannon is twice as heavy as that of the Kraken! With only five or six shots, the "Kraken" can turn into a pile of marine garbage.

The 16-pounder cannon on the Kraken may not even be able to penetrate the hull of the opponent's ship, and August really doesn't know how to win.

It's just that I don't know what the road is. The other party didn't bring a lot of manpower. With only seventy percent of the full sailors, this became the only weakness that the "Seawolf" could see. There are more than a hundred sailors on this ship, and if they can jump, they can drag the "Seawolf" into hand-to-hand combat. The Kraken may still have a glimmer of life.

"Listen to me." Lu Yuan looked at the "Seawolf" that was about to enter the 100-meter circle. Patted August on the back, "Go and take your men and hide under the upper deck." Tell everyone to hide, and we will advance under artillery fire in a while. ”

August smiled, saluted, and prepared to leave. Over the past month, he had become more and more convinced of the young aristocratic captain, and had even begun to plan to give up the opportunity to become a captain and remain his first mate. Although he was still very worried just now, once Lu Yuan was assigned a job that he couldn't figure out, he felt surprisingly relieved. Every time at this time, it is Lu Yuan who wants to perform his magic tricks.

"Wait a minute", Lu Yuan stopped him again, and helplessly pointed to the three ladies on the deck who were following the sailors blindly, "I can't hand them over." Take them with you and protect them! When necessary, you can directly tie it up and put it in the bottom warehouse! If they're hurt in the slightest...... Dear Auguste, think of your share! ”

"Hehe, isn't this embarrassing for me! It's all the captain, your baby, how dare I touch those little chicks! Auguste looked around at a loss, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw Jacques squatting next to him! At this time, in order to recuperate from his injuries, Jacques kept drinking a bottle of rum in his hand, and he was already drunk.

August pulled him, deliberately avoided Lu Yuan, and went to the side to discuss.

Sure enough, after a while, the three women were really pulled into the cabin by Jacques, who had drunk too much, and really tied them with ropes! Who said August was a rectum? Jacques, that idiot, was completely pitted by August! After the three women took revenge, he suffered! Lu Yuan secretly muttered to himself, "I absolutely never gave that order!" Absolute! ”

He shook his head, shifting his thoughts to the situation at hand. "Port side, prepare for shelling!" Then he said in a voice that no one else could hear, "I don't believe you can bring a computer!" ”

(The Jackdaw's computer-mounted is a nod to the game's missile-like artillery bombardment.) In the novel, the "Jackdaw" is still set as a legendary ship, and her special attribute is "precision strike". ）

It was difficult for the 16-pounder to inflict damage on the "Seawolf" at this distance. Lu Yuan raised the angle of the shot and adjusted the target to the sail of the opponent's ship. After a salvo, eight shells flew over the enemy ship accurately, and the third mast of the "Seawolf" in the aft part of the ship was reluctantly broken, and then overturned.

After the Kraken's shot, the Seawolf's hull was also adjusted, and the eleven 32-pounder cannons on their starboard side also fired an earth-shattering salvo!

It's a pity that at a distance of 100 meters, the Seawolf doesn't have the same accuracy as the Jackdaw and Lu Yuan after all.

The cannonballs fell messily in the sea around the Kraken, and all of them were missed.

But the sound of the cannonballs whining by, and the towering jets of water that splashed one after another when they hit the water, still made the sailors on the Siren pale! The power of this shell is far from being comparable to that of a 16-pound projectile, and it is beyond imagination in terms of range and power.

Lu Yuan turned the sails slightly, allowing the "Kraken" to hide behind the smoke of the gunsoft salvo again.

Just when the crew thought that Lu Yuan would repeat his old tricks and hide in the smoke of gunpowder to do another shelling obscenely. Lu Yuan slowly adjusted the direction of the "Kraken". Heading away from the Seawolf...... Escaped?! Is this an escape? Run away!

The crew looked at the captain with some disbelief, maybe the captain would turn the bow of the ship and kill a horse pistol in the next moment?!

But Lu Yuan didn't explain at all, and the "Kraken" was also firmly moving in the direction outside the battlefield.

And when Lu Yuan frowned and felt the speed of the ship, he actually said, "Our speed is too slow!" Throw all the water away! He paused slightly, then shouted, "Gunners, I need you to do the following!" Lu Yuan looked at the artillery crews waiting for his order, "Push all the cannons into the sea!" ”

"No!! The captain ...... "The gunners couldn't believe what they heard, they were in an uproar!"

"Do it!" Lu Yuan glared fiercely and yelled. Silenced everyone's voices. "Remember your oath?! Obey orders! ”

After that, there was a brief silence on the deck.

Immediately, the gunners of the first and second groups were the first to act, and they followed Lu Yuan the longest. The gunner walked silently to his cannon. Begin to untie the upper cables. Unplug the latch......

Because the "Kraken" did not have a fully enclosed artillery deck. The artillery was laid out on the open deck, and it was actually easy to advance into the sea.

When the two heavy sounds of falling into the sea were heard, the rest of the artillery crews had to act. Gunners of the first and second groups. Didn't do anything else. After they pushed the cannon into the sea, they stood on the side of the boat, watching the waves splash as the cannon fell into the sea, and wept bitterly.

The gunners and the artillery ate and lived together, lived and died together, and there was a very deep relationship between the two.

Push your fighting partner into the sea with your own hands, and in the blink of an eye, the choking sound on the deck is connected.

"And cannonballs!" As if he hadn't seen the state of the gunners, Lu Yuan continued to give orders coldly, urging the gunners to carry it out.

With twenty guns of nearly three tons each pushed off the deck, and nearly ten tons of 16-pounder shells, the speed of the ship suddenly became brisk, slightly leaving the pursuing "Seawolf" a little distance......

********

"They want to run away?" Edward. Lowe said mockingly.

Seeing that the other party tried to escape, even the artillery was thrown down a lot! The pirates on this side of the ship cheered indulgently, and even the depression of being slapped on the head before was alleviated a lot.

The sniper who had just been caught off guard made Edward furious. The accuracy of the opponent's artillery is simply beyond the elite, and it also wakes up Edward's light enemy!

Edward was an ambitious man! He used to be the captain of a patrol boat in the British Navy, and when he felt the pressure of seniority within the Navy, he resolutely left the Navy and joined the pirate Morgan, and was soon appreciated by Morgan and became the youngest captain under him, in charge of the legendary battleship "Seawolf"!

It can be said that this kind of weight is simply unique, and Morgan has never been so kind to his son.

But when the British government expressed concern about Morgan's power, Edward left Morgan again without hesitation and returned to the arms of the British Navy. Not only did he regain his new official position and title, but he also single-handedly carried the banner of splitting Morgan's power.

Now he is a knight specially granted by the British royal family, and as long as Morgan is still loyal to Britain and wants to finish well, he will never dare to touch him directly.

As for this mission, Morgan's thoughts about making him and the Kraken lose are clear to Edward! This also made him happy to discover that this legendary pirate king was politically naïve.

Edward had already figured out a plan to press Morgan step by step!

As the most cunning of captains, Edward never thought of putting the Kraken directly on the side. He first used the power of the British to publicize Lu Yuan's actions against all pirates as an act against Nassau Pirate Harbor, so he easily provoked Nassau's counterattack.

After that, when both Nasau's ship and the Kraken were defeated, he sailed into the battlefield to reap the fruits of victory.

When he appeared with the "Seawolf" in his hand, Nassau's ship seized the opportunity to flee the battlefield, and he hesitated for a moment, but finally due to a certain piece of news, he chose to destroy the "Kraken" first, or he would destroy both ships together.

The unexpected shelling made Edward take it seriously. He was a very experienced captain and could instantly judge several of the Kraken's offensive intentions! So he made several predictions with the help of thick smoke, but did not wait for the expected shelling...... When he left the gunsmoke, what he saw was ...... Run away?!

It's ridiculous! In his eyes, he can clearly distinguish the difference in performance between the two ships! That's definitely not something that can be smoothed out by dropping the cannon! And the ship chose to turn its back directly in the direction of the Seawolf, and even escaped against the headwind...... Now it's slow like a snail! What an idiot!

"Pursuit! Tear her to shreds! Edward commanded loudly.

"She has at least half a million pesos on it!" Edward didn't say this, which is why he chose the Siren.

Morgan always likes to reap the fruits of other people's victories at the end of the day, because this is the so-called "Morgan's tax". (To be continued......)
