"Ahem, Your Highness, let's see what you said...then we can count as a draw in this round." Han Du stretched out his hand to cover up his embarrassment, and then said: "Let's make a good plan on how to deal with those people. Be a pirate."
"Gu Ke has given all the power of this battle to you. How are you going to deal with it?" Speaking of pirates, Zhu Biao stopped chatting with Han Du and his face became serious.
Han Du's cynical attitude gradually faded away and he began to take it seriously. Said: "Yichen estimates that the pirates are about to gather together. We should be more careful in the past few days to avoid being attacked by them."
"Oh~" Zhu Biao nodded in agreement.
One day, mist appeared on the sea.
Han Du was awakened by a knock on the door. When he came out of the cabin, he saw Bai Yunhu standing at the door and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
"Master Marquis, there is fog on the sea."
Han Du was horrified when he heard that there was fog on the sea. The fog blocks the view, providing the best opportunity for a sneak attack. The naval fleet has powerful long-range firepower. It is not afraid of any kind of enemy ship. What it fears most is being approached and attacked by surprise.
Why Handu didn't choose to enter the Sea of Pirates in the first place was because once he entered, he would be easily approached by pirates who had a geographical advantage.
"When did it happen? Is it foggy?" Han Du immediately crossed the Baiyunhu and walked towards the deck.
"Back to Lord Marquis, it may be the fog that started last night, but fortunately the fog is not too big and has already begun to subside." Bai Yunhu said quickly while following Han Du.
By the time Bai Yunhu finished speaking, Han Du had already walked to the bow of the ship. He immediately raised his telescope and looked in all directions. It was true that the fog was not too thick, just scattered in the east and west.
But even so, it greatly blocked the navy's sight, making it impossible to see the scene further away. Fortunately, the sun has risen, and under the bright red sunlight, the fog has dissipated quickly.
"Send the order, pay attention to the warships wrapped in fog, especially the warships. Avoid the fog as soon as possible and come to a place without fog."
"yes."
Woohoo~
Waves of horns sounded immediately, gradually spreading Han Du's order throughout the entire fleet.
Zhu Biao was also awakened by the noisy sound. He stood up and came to the bow of the ship. He turned his head and asked Han Du: "What's wrong?"
Han Du looked back at Zhu Biao, looked at the fog in front of him, and murmured to himself: "I have a feeling that those pirates may have come to us and are hiding in the fog."
"Oh? Really?" Zhu Biao asked lightly, without any nervousness about the upcoming battle. He had even experienced overwhelming winds and huge waves, and a battle could not stir up the emotions in his heart.
Han Du nodded, looking straight at the fog in front of him.
Zhu Biao saw Han Du's serious expression and stopped talking. He just looked in the direction Han Du was looking, but couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, Han Du looked back at Zhu Biao and said: "Your Highness, if those pirates really come to attack, I may not be able to take care of them once they start fighting. Please go back to the cabin first."
Facing Han Du's expulsion order, Zhu Biao sneered and said: "It's just a big war, and it's not like I haven't experienced it before. When my father took me to the battlefield, he didn't deliberately leave me behind to hide." Here. Gu Dao is also very curious about naval battles, and wants to see what the difference is between naval battles and land battles. You don’t need to persuade me, An Xin is commanding you, Gu is here to watch."
Seeing that Zhu Biao had moved Lao Zhu out, Han Du's original words of persuasion were blocked. After thinking deeply, Han Du did not feel that those pirate ships could threaten him, so he no longer insisted on letting Zhu Biao go back.
The sunlight turned from red to golden, and more heat was projected onto the fog, causing the fog on the sea to dissipate quickly. As the mist was pulled apart like pieces of silk gauze, a shrill horn whistle sounded from Wangdou.
Woo~~woo~~~woo~
"It's really here! Get ready to fight!" Han Du gritted his teeth and immediately shouted at Baiyunhu.
"Yes, prepare to fight!!!" Baiyunhu ordered immediately.
The fog dissipated rapidly, and Han Du could already see through the telescope the shadows of pirate ships on the sea ahead.
This distance... Han Du silently estimated for a moment that it was too close...
"Full right rudder, full sail, full speed ahead, distance."
"Full right rudder, full sail, move forward at full speed, keep the distance." Baiyunhu roared crazily, conveying Han Du's military order.
The entire fleet suddenly headed to the right.
I don't know when the fog completely dissipated. The fog that was still shrouding here just now disappeared without a trace. The entire ocean is completely exposed to the sun, illuminating everything around it clearly.
The number of pirate ships was extremely large, and they were a black mass on the sea, just like a tide. They rushed towards Han Du with great momentum, trying to directly submerge the navy.
Han Du looked at the pirate ship through the telescope, and saw the pirates shouting and roaring with their scimitars raised. Although it was difficult to hear their voices from such a distance, Han Du knew that the pirates were cheering just by thinking about it.
Perhaps they thought they could easily defeat the navy with their numerical advantage, so they were happy in advance.
But Han Du slowly put down the telescope. Through the observation just now, Han Du had discovered that the fighting methods of these pirates still stayed at gang-hopping and close combat. Those pirates didn't even have a bow or arrow except for a machete.
In this way, Han Du felt relieved. The gap in combat concepts cannot be bridged by numbers.
"No matter how many there are, what's the use? They're just a bunch of chickens and dogs!"
When the pirate ship saw the navy suddenly turning, thinking that these foreign navy wanted to escape, it immediately turned and headed towards the navy to intercept them.
Han Du observed that the pirates also turned and rushed over, and he instantly understood the intentions of those pirates.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I have seen people seeking death, but I have never seen anyone seeking death like this."
The navy turned, and those pirate ships rushed up. They would face the gunfire from the side of the navy warship. This was not seeking death. What was it doing?
But before Han Du could give the order, several clouds of white gas suddenly burst out from the pirate ship on the opposite side through the telescope.
cannon!
There are also cannons on the pirate ship?
Han Du was horrified, thinking not of how to avoid but of Zhu Biao behind him. With normal attacks, Han Du doesn't have to worry about Zhu Biao's safety. After all, he has his own soldiers guarding him at all times.
But cannons are different. Once hit by a cannonball, it will be useless even if someone blocks Zhu Biao.
"Your Highness, please return to the cabin first!"
Zhu Biao also saw the pirate ships covering the sea. Now he was very excited. How could he listen to Han Du and return to the cabin?
He waved his hand directly and said: "Don't worry about Gu, just direct the navy to fight first!"
Han Du was attracted by the roars behind him. When he turned around, he saw the pirates' shells falling in the sea more than a hundred meters away from the naval fleet, stirring up water columns.
Han Du cursed inwardly: "Made, you fired from such a distance. Did you make me think that the pirate cannons had such a long range? It turns out they are just soft-footed shrimps."
Now that he knew the range of the pirate cannon, Han Du had nothing to worry about. Calculating the range of the pirate cannon and the position of the pirate ship with his heart, Han Du never left the telescope and stared at all the pirate ships with concentration.
The pirates fired dozens of cannons, although none of them hit the navy warship. But when they saw that the other side didn't react at all to their cannon attack, they thought that there were no cannons on the other side's ship.
The pirates shouted louder and even made various extremely insulting actions, as if all the ships on the opposite side were their meals.
Tang Ding saw this scene through the telescope, turned back to Han Du and asked, "What are you waiting for?"
Han Du still stared at the pirate ship opposite and said, "Wait a minute, I will catch them all."
After finishing speaking, Han Du turned back to Baiyunhu and ordered: "Send the order and all the warships line up in a line."
"Yes." Bai Yunhu immediately passed on Han Du's military order.
About a quarter of an hour later, Han Du saw that the pirate ships were no longer in a horizontal line like before, but gathered into a triangle shape with a sharp front and a wide back.
The time has come!
"Left full rudder!" Han Du immediately ordered.
"Zuo Manduo~" Bai Yunhu felt in his heart that the war was about to begin, and immediately shouted enthusiastically.
The naval fleet changed its attitude of trying to escape just now, and instead occupied the T-shaped head, blocking the direction of the pirate ship's advance.
"Port side loading!"
"Port side loading!"
"Port side loading!"
Cannons are usually not loaded. After all, the humidity at sea is very high, and gunpowder is easily affected by moisture when exposed to the air. They will only reload when the battle is about to begin.
After a series of orders, everyone on the warship felt that the surrounding air seemed to solidify.
"fire!"
"Fire! Fire! Fire!"
The baffles on the warship's muzzle were immediately pulled out, and the dark cannons were pushed out, with the dark holes facing the pirate ship.
"Boom! Boom! Boom~"
When a naval warship fires its cannon, it is not like a few sparse blasts from a pirate ship. Instead, like firecrackers, there was a huge roar.
The few gunshots fired from the pirate ship just now were nothing compared to what they were hearing now.
At this time, no matter what the surrounding sound was, it was completely suppressed by the roar. Even if you wanted to open your mouth and shout, no one would be able to hear it.
Fortunately, although the Navy can no longer use the horn to convey military orders, it can convey orders through flags. But it was over for the pirate ship. They had never suffered such fierce fire, and there was no way to deal with this situation. They usually relied on shouting to deliver orders, but now it was completely useless.
