"Captain...... We are, headwind......" A seafarer timidly reminded Lu Yuan, in his mind, since he wants to escape, it is too bad to choose headwind!

At this time, Lu Yuan finally smiled, and no longer had a straight face like just now. After a series of planning just now, when Morgan's ship began to pursue, in his eyes, the probability of being able to enter the broadside battle had risen from 0.3% to 47%!

"Hey! Guys! He laughed and shouted to the silent gunners, "Don't be like a! If you still want to stay on the ship, I promise you have a better cannon to use! Now, everyone goes to the arsenal to pick up equipment, scimitars, muskets, you name it! Then go and join August's team! You have to move fast! ”

"Captain, didn't we run away?" One of the gunners asked, he had just pushed his cannon down with his own hands and was upset.

"Escape? I don't have those two words in my dictionary! Lu Yuan boasted unashamedly, "Guys, we are now a headwind!" Think about what would happen next if our little boat suddenly turned around? Don't tell me you're all idiots! ”

The gunners were puzzled at first, and then they all showed shocked expressions, and the leader of the group couldn't help but shout, "You want to jump?!" Fight the broadside battle! ”

"Yes! I promise you'll win! In this last battle, our ship is inferior to the other side, and the firepower is worse than the opponent's, so let's use swords and muskets to decide the victory! Now, my gunners, can you still hold scimitars and muskets?! Do you still have the courage and strength to do so?! You have always been the heart of my ship, with the highest salary. Enjoy the best treatment! Now the decisive moment is coming, but don't let me see you peeing your pants! ”

"Yay! Yes! Absolutely not! The gunners roared with rage and rushed to the arsenal!

After the gunners left, the deck was empty, leaving Lu Yuan and a few sailors, Lu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and grimaced.

If you count the upper open gun deck, the Kraken should be divided into four tiers, from top to bottom are the open deck, the middle deck, the lower deck, and the bottom deck. The open deck is where the guns and the daily sailors practice, and the middle deck is the quarters of the captains, officers and gunners. The lower deck is the residence of ordinary sailors, stormtroopers, carpenters' houses, supply officers, etc. The bottom warehouse at the bottom is mainly used to stack goods, also known as warehouse.

The warehouse is the worst to live in, but the location is the safest. When fighting. Most women and children hide here.

Now August is leading the stormtroopers. Hide in the second safest place, on the lower deck of the ship. Because the Kraken didn't carry any cargo, all the hammocks were now packed up again. Now all the sailors are only in the empty cabins. Gather together sitting or standing, and pack up their scimitars or muskets in their hands.

After several lootings, the equipment on the Lu Yuan ship was of the best quality and quantity, and there was no problem with two short muskets and a scimitar per person.

"Tom, if you don't want to get shelled, stay away from the wall!" Auguste, who had been wiping his Toledo sword, suddenly looked up and shouted to a sailor who had leaned himself against the hull of the ship.

"We're on the run...... anyway," Tom muttered dissatisfiedly, but under August's forced gaze, he left the place in a huff and sat down in the middle of the cabin. The sailors were a little silent, they were all veterans, and they knew where they were sailing to when they slept in hammocks. They will not fail to feel the turn of the ship before, and the ugliness of staggering away against the wind...... Obviously what I just said is so enthusiastic!

"It's good to escape,......" an old seawolf muttered, if possible, wouldn't it be good to get the money in your hands safely? There is no shame in running away.

"But if we need to escape, we should repair the sails immediately! How could a Seawolf outrun a Seawolf with just one sail? One of the sailors jumped out and argued, "And now it's a headwind!" ”

"That ship is the Seawolf, one of the fastest ships in the Caribbean! Whether our sails are good or not, whether we are downwind or upwind, we can't outrun them......"

The man's voice was interrupted by the heavy sound of the cannon falling into the sea.

"We ...... How can this be! Tom stood up excitedly! He's really not a mole, he just loves the boat too much! Tom is the kind of sailor who has a great sense of belonging and is ready to shed his blood for the Kraken.

"Shut up!" August's angry voice echoed through the space of the lower deck, interrupting everyone's argument at once.

"I don't know what Captain Lu Dao is thinking, and I guess you don't know either! Otherwise, we're the captains! He tapped his sword against the barrel beside him and continued. The captain's thoughts, I can't guess every time! Or guess wrong, as you guys did! But every time I guess wrong, the captain wins once! Have you ever seen a captain lose? For a month, he always wins!

Here, Jacques and I have been with the captain for even longer, and the captain has never lost, every time! So, you guys let me guess what the captain thinks, I can't guess! But as long as the captain makes an inexplicable move, it is not far from victory!

The captain asked us to hide here just to preserve our combat effectiveness! I already feel that the time is getting closer and closer for us to fight! I ask you to hold on to your guns and knives, and I will rush ahead of you! ”

Everyone was listening in silence, and as soon as August's words fell, a large number of footsteps sounded outside. The sailors looked back one after another, only to see that the gunners who were regarded as treasures by Lu Yuan were now each holding a scimitar and a musket in their waists, pouring into the lower deck.

"How?" August asked nervously.

"We lost artillery and shells!" A group leader stepped forward and said, "The captain said that the Kraken will turn around and rush towards the Seawolf, and let us decide the victory with swords and muskets!" ”

The sailors on the lower deck let out a low cheer.

At this time, the hull of the ship began to tilt sharply, and even threw the sailors who were caught off guard against one side of the wall and crowded together.

"Damn it, watch out for your knives!" "Muskets, pay attention to muskets!"

In the midst of all this noise, August's loud voice overshadowed everyone at once! "Quiet! Get out of the wall! He pushed the crowd away like Moses parting the Red Sea, "We're charging!" ”

**********

With the biggest headwind, Lu Yuan drove the "Kraken" and made an unbelievable move. She spun in the air like a ballet, gracefully turning the boat on the spot! In an instant, the forward changed to the backward, the headwind turned into a tailwind, and the pursuit attitude of the two ships, one in front of the other, became the hedging attitude of the ship's head!

The current "Kraken" is almost empty, and after she enters the tailwind, she immediately rushes straight towards the Seawolf like a swordfish flying over the water!

"Left full rudder", seeing the actions of the "Kraken", the captain of the Seawolf, Edward. Luo gave the order elegantly, without a trace of hesitation.

"What did you say?" His first mate was stunned and asked in disbelief. The playful posture of the "Kraken" before and the provocation of not taking the "Seawolf" seriously have already made the sailors on the "Seawolf" so angry that their eyes are red, and the captain actually ordered to change the rudder?

Ever since the Kraken turned and charged, quite a few sailors with scimitars had gathered on the foredeck, ready to teach her a profound lesson! Even the first mate himself carried a sword and three short muskets! But ...... "left full rudder"?

"Why are we running away?! The dignity of the Seawolf cannot be provoked! The big mate snorted and suggested.

"What escape?" Edward squinted at him, and directly crossed the first mate to the chief of the bombardment and ordered, "Port loading!" Prepare for shelling! Then he took over the rudder himself and began to make a left turn, "Remember, Mr. First Mate, because of your hesitation, we have wasted half of our chance to shoot!" ”

Like Lu Yuan, driving a small ship two orders of magnitude smaller, and launching a straight charge towards the big ship to provoke, nine of the ten pirate captains will be dizzy and want to fight him! But Edward. Lowe would not, he was a typical British naval officer, even if he later left the navy to join the pirates, but the British navy philosophy was still carried out to him.

"What jump, what provocation? Are you listening to your grandfather's story? We don't need those things! It's not 1500 here, it's the age of naval guns! The Kraken, who threw away all his artillery, in my eyes, can't even compare to the combat power of a girl! He said contemptuously. You want to fight hand-to-hand with the, so have you thought about the shame of being defeated by the?! His first mate silently stroked the hilt of his sword, saluted, and turned away.

"Damn! I knew it wasn't going so well! This guy is more cunning than a fox! Seeing the movements of the Seawolf, Lu Yuan scolded, adjusted the hull of the ship, and still charged forward!

"Watch out for shelling!" Seeing the flickering firelight and gunsmoke on the opposite side, Lu Yuan shouted. By this time, the sailmen on the deck had taken refuge in the cabin, and several of them temporarily played the role of signal soldiers.

"Watch out for shelling!" "Watch out for shelling!" "Watch out for shelling!" The sound was transmitted layer by layer to the lower deck, and August instructed everyone to grasp the cable and move closer to the middle!

"Can the captain get out of the way?" Tom, who happened to be standing next to August, asked in a whisper.

"No, the captain won't hide, that's a waste of time! He will definitely rush over with the shortest route! Everyone, grab ......" August didn't finish his words, and he felt the hull of the ship shake violently, and the whole ship fell to one side like a toy! (To be continued......)
