The next three minutes are almost the performance time of the opponent's artillery attack! Although both pirate ships had a high center of gravity, they would shake significantly with every shelling. [No pop-up novel website] But they were still shaking like this, and kept firing broadside salvos every two minutes! This kind of efficiency is enough to make the gunners of the "Kraine" who couldn't load the cannon in four minutes feel ashamed to death!
Lu Yuan drove the sailboat, dodging in the rain of bullets, but in the end he failed to find a better opportunity. In the end, they could only use the three guns on the port side to tear a large hole in the sail of the "St. Andrews" while retreating slightly, slightly reducing its speed.
The seven guns on the starboard side took ten minutes to reload each time they fired. This was something Lu Yuan couldn't bear. Before he found a better opportunity, Lu Yuan could only choose not to fire and keep firing. Deterrence capabilities.
The superb naval combat skills of the "Barrier" and the "St. Andrews" are amazing! They were paddling in a double helix and were approaching with a broadside salvo every minute, gradually pushing the "Kraken" towards the coral reef!
"Wait! Captain!" August suddenly shouted, his face turning pale! When he saw everyone looking at him, he could only move closer to Lu Yuan and whispered, "Captain, I remembered, this is the 'Coral Reef Nest'!"
"Oh" Lu Yuan simply said "Oh" and stopped talking. He continued to fight back, while simply leaving a short distance away and taking the initiative to drive around the coral reef.
August scratched his head anxiously, not noticing his appearance at all. It made people on the ship even more panicked.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly grabbed Lu Yuan's "Navigation Diary" and turned to the battlefield map he drew!
The current situation on the battlefield is that all three ships are moving clockwise around the island. The Siren was in front, the Obstacle was in the rear, and the St. Andrews fell behind, probably due to sail problems.
August pointed to the narrow waterway after bypassing the coral reef and said, "Here! It looks navigable, but in fact there are coral reefs under the sea and the water level is very shallow. Although it looks okay, in fact ships cannot pass here. ! Their goal is to use the Galen ship to block us in!" He drew another line, "The other ship is deliberately falling behind. It will circle to the other side of the island in a while, and start from the other side of the reef. Strap-shoot us from one side!”
"Attacked from both sides. We will definitely die!" August smashed his head. He said with a bleak expression, "Someone told me about the terrain here before, but I just remembered it... Those guys are locals, they must know it very well!"
Lu Yuan continued to drive the sailboat. It seems that he got into the "pocket" without any defense! Immediately, Galen's sailing ship also entered the water channel, and its wide hull blocked the water channel tightly. On the other side, the "St. Andrews" immediately turned around and accelerated towards the other side of the island. Even across a small island, Lu Yuan could hear the cheers coming from it!
"It's over..." August put down his notebook and squatted there helplessly.
"August, August, August...why don't you understand? The enemy's traps are often our opportunities. Don't think about giving up too early!" Lu Yuan suddenly opened his full sail and took advantage of it. A big wave made the whole boat float! "The coral reef is located 1.4 meters below the water level. Our warehouse is only one-third full, and it is a commodity such as tobacco that does not weigh the weight. The draft of the Kraken is only 2.2 meters! But look at it now wave!?"
Lu Yuan swung the steering wheel, and the ship slid along the wave crest as if climbing, and sailed to the top of a mountain with huge waves! This fifty-meter-long wave lifted the "Siren" high! Let her easily jump out of the so-called "trap"!
"If we want to talk about terrain, we are the ones most familiar with it!" Lu Yuan said arrogantly! How could he, who has all the 3D maps, not know the distribution of the reefs? !
The sailors on the Galen sailboat following him looked on in shock as the Kraken actually sailed onto a wave as high as two meters high! ? This was like a miraculous scene, and they were so shocked that they were speechless!
Watching the sea monster easily jump out of the trap, but it can't do it! Because the Galen ship now carries 24 24-pound cannons alone! And there are hundreds of sailors, and the water is extremely deep!
He could only turn back in a hurry and prepare to rush out of the waterway. But before that, the "St. Andrews" had to face the Kraken alone!
The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. The "Siren", which had become a fish on the chopping block, took advantage of the big waves in the storm to jump out of the trap... Instead, the Ed regiment, which was surrounded on both sides, fell into a trap and was about to be defeated one by one. situation!
"Now, it's our turn!" Lu Yuan shouted! From the moment it seemed like a miracle, the atmosphere on the ship became as intense as a flame! "Long live Poseidon Corybusso!" The sailors, who thought they had received the protection of Poseidon, were gearing up, holding their breath, staring, and followed the "Siren" as they approached the Caravel unscrupulously.
As for the fat sailing ship, the muzzle on the side that was shaken by the sea water was raised high, completely losing the shooting angle.
Lu Yuan drove the boat past the opponent's gun muzzle without any scruples, and ordered to fire at a distance of less than five meters! "fire!"
Almost close to the port side of the enemy ship, the three artillery guns above fired a small salvo! Because the scale of the shooting was small, and considering that even if it hit the hull, it would not cause much damage, Lu Yuan aimed at the rudder on the opponent's butt... The rudder broke with a sound! The "St. Andrews" Caravel Clipper was paralyzed as if its legs had been broken! Being blown around in circles by the wind.
The "St. Andrews", which had its legs broken off, could only look at the "Siren" angrily. Shi Shiran passed by it!
When the long and narrow hull of the Kraken passed by the side, everyone from the captain to the gunner breathed a sigh of relief, as if they were freed from the gaze of the Kraken! The beautiful woman on the bow of the Kraken. Horribly weird! Like Poseidon Cory Busso!
The rudder is broken. Every ship will prepare a spare one before going to sea. If it doesn't work, you can make do with a long oar, so it is actually easy to repair, but it must not be used on the battlefield...
The Galenic sailing ship opposite originally wanted to take advantage of the "Siren" and "St. Andrews" to tremble and fire a broadside salvo! Unfortunately, the "Siren" turned slightly after shooting, and used the "St. Andrews"'s hull, which was twice as tall as itself, to block the "Obstacle"'s shooting route like a city wall.
The Obstacle could not cross those reefs. There was no chance to even shoot. He could only turn the ship around in a hurry. On the other hand, he prayed that the St. Andrews would last until the moment they emerged from the waterway.
"Hang on! Damn it! What happened to them?" The captain of the Obstacle had been killed just now, and his replacement was the real boss of the Ed Regiment, a wild man named "The Admiral in Black"! It was he who used his skillful command to force the Kraken into a trap just now.
But the current situation made him very confused... The "St. Andrews" only had a broken rudder. It’s still too early to sink! According to his estimation. Just the ten pitiful cannons of the "Siren". Even if the "St. Andrews" stood still and didn't fight back, it would still be able to withstand at least four rounds of shelling before reaching its limit!
But what does the "St. Andrews"'s panicked signaling mean? The meaning of that confusion is simply incomprehensible! Could it be that the other party wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to escape? He waved his hand, "Turn around faster! Don't let our prey run away!"
"Oh!!" the pirates on the ship shouted excitedly! The prey's escape again made them even more angry! They struggled to control. Let the Galen sailing boat perfectly turn around in strong winds and narrow waterways!
"No!" Suddenly, the current captain of the Galenic sailing ship "Obstacle", a man named "Admiral in Black", let out a scream that penetrated the wind and rain! He finally realized something was wrong! Unfortunately it has been of no help!
Using the tall hull of the Caravel sailboat as cover, the Kraken did not actually leave! She just nimbly circled the "St. Andrews" in a half circle, and then like a sharp knife, she flashed out from the back of the Caravel ship, controlled the waves again, and jumped into the narrow waterway again!
At this time, Galen's sailing ship had just turned its bulky body and exposed its most vulnerable butt towards the Kraken - its tall and gorgeous stern!
"No!!!!"
The Kraken was like a demon sword, slashing at it with all its strength!
The classic design of the Galen ship retains the tall stern, and at the stern, important rooms such as the captain's cabin and the officer's cabin are arranged, and that's not all. Each Galen ship has huge floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, suspended corridors outside, and extremely gorgeous wood carvings and gilded decorations... It can be said that although the Galen ship has four backward-facing cannons at the rear, Their defense is worth mentioning!
The Siren was like a peerless assassin. When she appeared, seven cannons were almost on the big butt of Galen's sailboat!
"Fire!!!" Lu Yuan's command sounded through the wind and rain, and his and the black-clothed admiral's eyes also penetrated through the wind and rain, intertwined instantly!
Such a close distance is the bayonet on the cannon... The seven loaded cannons on the starboard side have been retained until now. There is no need to aim at all, and the seven gunners fired at the same time!
"Boom!" It sounded like a volley! The recoil of the artillery pushed the "Siren" away from the "Obstacle"! Galen's sailboat's butt was blown open like a chrysanthemum!
Splattered glass shards and broken wood shrouded the deck of the nearby "Siren"! Many sailors screamed and were hit by debris. Lu Yuan's hand quickly grabbed a few times in the air. He shook his hand and threw the flying glass fragments into the sea!
Taking advantage of the strong wind, the Siren turned around half a circle, sailed outward from the stern of Galen's ship, and crossed the reef again... She came and went freely, as if the reef did not exist there! The Kraken is as nimble as a fish in the storm!
The entire stern of the Obstacle, which was left in place, was completely smashed! The four cannons originally arranged here have also disappeared, leaving only a big empty black hole, water pouring in, and the screams of countless people!
"Keep loading! We will definitely win!" Lu Yuan shouted loudly, and all the sailors cheered! Even though the opponent's personnel are several times their number! But I can’t stand the elusive siren!
"We will definitely win!" the stormtroopers shouted, and they were jumping on the side of the ship! Unfortunately, it is impossible to board the ship without beating the opponent below three digits! But at that time, it meant that more than two-thirds of them were killed, and they probably had surrendered long ago.
"Oh God! How did you do it! Is this really something my ship can do?!" August was going crazy.
"You don't understand 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 more powerful than him!" Lu Yuan drove the "Siren" The "HMS" made a circle, the "Barrier" was paralyzed, and he was going to take care of the "St. Andrews" first.
"You are an unimaginable person! It is right to put the Kraken in your hands! I think you should always drive her!" August said very sincerely.
"Haha, don't worry! The Siren will not be our end. It is not mine, nor yours. We will have a better ship!"
At this time, he saw gunners from seven groups running towards him.
"What's wrong?"
"Captain...no, there are no more shells..."
"Don't make fun of me! Now is the most important thing... Hey! August, what's that expression on your face!?"
"Captain... ah no, it was the former captain who said he wanted to save money, so... he prepared ten shells without a gun, but the gunpowder was enough." The gunners had to explain.
Lu Yuan looked back at August with a dumbfounded look, "How dare you go out to rob with half the ammunition?! Do you think naval battles are easy?!"
"Isn't this..." August rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Isn't it because I have no money? I still owe everyone's salary! I don't dare to tell you..." His voice sounded like a mosquito, but Lu Yuan was quite clear, "Why else would I surrender?"
Lu Yuan was dumbfounded. Who said this person was straightforward? !
But the war will continue! He thought for a while and gave the order: "The artillery is only loaded with gunpowder and aims as usual! Then send a signal for them to surrender!"
There were no flags at this time, but the pirates seemed to have their own way of communicating. After speaking through lanterns and shouting, August brought a very embarrassing message, "The admiral of the other side challenges you! I hope that the fate of the fleet will be determined by the victory or defeat of both parties..."
"Tell him, I agree!" (To be continued...)
