Jacques, who was already familiar with him, could hear some of the excitement hidden under Lu Yuan's calm words. [No pop-up novel website]
Jacques had never seen the captain so "gaffe".
He didn't know what was so special about that strangely sailed ship... But when he remembered that the East India Company's wanted notice said that Lu Yuan was a "slave from the Far East"? Jacques suddenly realized, could it be the ship of the greatest empire in the world that the captain had said? From the captain's hometown?
"Da... Ming..." he repeated with a strange pronunciation, and picked up the telescope to see more clearly!
"Oh my God!" Jacques groaned breathlessly, holding the telescope. "Captain, you have to see this!"
When Lu Yuan picked up the telescope again, he was also shocked and opened his mouth.
What he saw from the lookout tube was no longer a lonely Ming Dynasty blessing ship - behind the blessing ship, countless fish ribs and sails were gradually rising from the end of the sight, like a forest. Spectacularly covering the sea surface! The afternoon sun was still clear and the sea was still blue, but in the direction from which the fleet came, pieces of sails like dragon wings were proudly raised, blocking the blue sky from the field of vision like dark clouds!
Some of the ocean-going blessing ships will have three masts, and many will have seven or eight masts! Lu Yuan simply couldn't calculate how many Fuchuan battleships there were that could cover the sky like this!
Is this really the Chinese navy? Is this a Daming ship? ! This is the seventeenth century, a century when European robbers do whatever they want on the sea! Then there was a very powerful Ming fleet that came to the Caribbean? ! Are you bullying me for not studying history well?
Lu Yuan couldn't help but rubbed his eyes stupidly. Did some time traveler go to the wrong set? ! Even though his heart was about to beat, his blood was boiling so much that it almost spurted out from his throat! Just looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Yuan burst into tears unknowingly! The heart that already belonged to the time traveler was also trembling unwillingly.
A maritime power? I must have had too much rum, I must be dreaming…
But Nima, I am just dreaming, please let me do it a little longer! !
"It's a pursuit! The East India Company's Far East Fleet... they are escaping! I swear I have never seen such a big ship! The artillery on it... I can't even count it! The British on the opposite side are not here to intercept us, they ...It should be to ask for help from the pursuing fleet behind us!"
"That's right...Jacques." Lu Yuan tried his best to calm down. He saw more.
Lu Yuan originally thought that the lucky ship following the Far East Fleet was a Ming Dynasty merchant who came to Europe following the Far East Fleet.
But when most of the mast jungle was exposed, the eyes could clearly distinguish the arrangement of the entire fleet. Lu Yuan's deputy brain quickly analyzed the postures of both parties and came to the most suitable conclusion.
The nearest lucky ship was clearly a ranger from the Ming Dynasty fleet, a wandering sharp knife! She was constantly adjusting her course, like a tiger accumulating strength, waiting for a flaw to launch a charge, ruthlessly tearing a large piece of the Far East Fleet off!
The fleet that is escaping will have to choose to cut off its tail again and again to survive after being brutally torn apart. Then he watched the large fleet like wolves rush up from behind and tear the part that was severed from the main fleet into pieces. Precisely because there is a large fleet behind that is watching eagerly. Only one Fuchuan ship can force the entire Far East Fleet into such a state of embarrassment! The fleet has now completely lost its formation, and the fast ships are rushing to the front regardless of the cost! The dozen or so large ships with strong ships and powerful guns always stayed together, and the remaining ships that were not strong enough and slow became cannon fodder for the entire fleet to feed the tigers and cut off their tails to survive.
If they dare to go all out to destroy this lucky ship. The price paid would be the annihilation of the British East India Company's Far East fleet.
It wasn't until the hull of the ship was exposed to the horizon that Lu Yuan could clearly see the strength comparison between the two sides! The Ming Dynasty's fleet has about fifty large ships, which is actually the same number as the Far East Fleet, but their displacements are all over a thousand tons! It is more than double the size of the opponent's big ship!
Lu Yuan simply couldn't imagine when the Ming Dynasty had such good shipbuilding technology? Those blessing ships were not the Chinese blessing ships that Lu Yuan had in mind. From the perspective of sail rigging, the fish-rib rigid sail is both a fore and aft sail and is inherently very flexible. But these sailboats are between fish ribs and hard sails. The layers of triangular soft sails that were almost the same as the Bermuda sails were pulled, which made the ship almost reach the best efficiency in the sail era!
You must know that this kind of sail has just become popular in the Caribbean.
Moreover, the bottom of the ship has also improved the traditional triangular bottom of Fuchuan, absorbing the advantages of the European "U"-shaped bottom, and perhaps also the design inherited from the treasure ship? In short, the displacement far exceeds the fortune ships Lu Yuan has seen. There is also a wave board underneath her, which makes the boat run more smoothly in the ocean. It can also carry more artillery. Look at the densely packed gun ports on the sides of each ship. There are at least 80+ heavy artillery pieces...

Lu Yuan suddenly forced himself to put down the telescope.
He held his cheeks with his hands and slapped them hard a few times, "Asshole!"
"I just remembered that this is exactly the same as what I had in mind before?!" Lu Yuan laughed. He threw the telescope aside and shouted loudly to the sky, "Colly Busso! How dare you try to influence my mind? You underestimate the power of a magician!" Because he was Lu Yuan, who was deceived from his innocent feelings and became angry and angry, did not pay any attention to the Lord God's reminder of deducting points! His fingers danced, tearing apart a large area of arcane light, shrouding his body, and then yelled the key words at the bronze ring - "Protect chaos! Protect evil!"
[Protection from Chaos/Evil/Good/Law: Defense and saving throws +2, counter mind control, and block elemental creatures and alien creatures. 】
Lu Yuan's body erupted with red and white halos one after another, causing the crew below to scream in surprise! The first time he used all his strength to cast, even though it was a low-level spell, Lu Yuan was now surrounded by the light of arcane magic, looking like a god descending into the world! His voice rolled across the deck like thunder, making those sailors, especially the black ones, tremble. Even Jacques lowered his head in awe, but he was already an admirer of Lu Yuan, so he was not greatly affected.
Because the arcane power he exerted far exceeded the barrier of a ring of spells, the huge magic power activated by Lu Yuan even formed a milky white eggshell that briefly existed around his body. The surging power of rules descended on Lu Yuan's consciousness and spiritual world, sweeping it away in an instant. Strip away any emotions and feelings that don't belong to Lu Yuan! ! !
Cory Busso! see it? ! This is my answer to you!
Then... the wind was still blowing, the sky was still so blue, and the Ming fleet in front was still so bewitching... why... nothing happened? !
Ah...could it be said...that all of this is actually true! ?
Lu Yuan suddenly knelt down.
All along, Lu Yuan actually viewed the world as only being as big as the Caribbean Sea.
As for Europe and the Ming Dynasty. It's like a concept that's far away, just know it. Although there are countless Chinese people like him with black hair and black eyes living in the Ming Dynasty, it is a world that has nothing to do with him. In Lu Yuan's heart, just like Karatu in the world of Baldur's Gate, it will never be possible. Arrival background only.
But since meeting Lin Beiyuan from Daming, the word Daming seems to have gradually started to speak the same language as myself from a distant place. The different-dimensional country with the same origin has gradually become a concept that is more and more closely connected with one's own life.
Until now, the Ming Dynasty's expedition fleet consisting of more than fifty thousand-ton ships has actually raised its fish-rib sails! Waving yellow dragon flag! An expedition of ten thousand nautical miles! Appeared in front of Lu Yuan...
At this moment, Lu Yuan finally couldn't help but shed tears.
He didn't even know why he was crying.
**********
When Lu Yuan saw the two fleets clustering together. They apparently also saw the lonely "Maria" drifting in the channel. The small ship seemed to be frightened and rammed straight towards the East India Company's fleet.
How could the Far East Fleet be afraid of a small pirate ship? They bared their teeth and claws and rushed straight towards this direction.
The Ming Dynasty sailing ship behind them swayed slightly, but still stubbornly pursued the Far East Fleet in an attitude of breaking away from its own fleet. Since they saw a Western-style sailing ship parked on the route, they should have considered that there were more ships.
"You're going to suffer big losses if you act this recklessly!" Lu Yuan lamented, and he climbed up the main mast again until he stood on one foot at the top of the mast! Lu Yuan seemed to want to confirm some unrealistic guesses in his heart, so he took out a pair of temporarily made flags.
Lu Yuan faced the direction of the Ming Dynasty ship and shouted the standard flag - "Ahead, ambush. Slow down!" "Ahead, ambush, slow down!" "Ahead, ambush, slow down!"... Lu Yuan repeated it over and over again. Sending a strong warning signal.
At this time, he had removed all disguises, revealing a thoroughly oriental face! He believed that as long as the person opposite saw him in the telescope, he would definitely believe what he said! At least it will be more cautious.
Unfortunately, when Lu Yuan was sending signals over and over again in vain, the lucky ship that had been swimming forward suddenly had eighteen long oars sticking out from the ship! Her speed increased instead of decreasing, and she rushed towards a small gap on the flank of the Far East Fleet in an extremely risky manner! I don’t know what kind of stimulation I received. Fu Chuan, which had always been relatively safe, actually chose the extremely dangerous single boat to cut in!
"You really can't understand?" Lu Yuan put away the flag in his hand in disappointment. He put on a new disguise and jumped off the mast. "Keep heading! We're ready for a big fight! Fight! Slaves!"
Lu Yuan yelled and took over the command and the wheel. He drove the ship and rushed straight towards the East India Company's fleet! His crew members, whether loyal or duplicitous, had no choice but to gather around him at this time and form Lu Yuan's sharp sword.
The Far East Fleet was already close at hand. Lu Yuan's eyes caught a gap like a hawk, and he rushed over without hesitation!
Even if the fish is dead and the net is broken, he must rescue his unknown compatriot! Then he gave him a hard slap in the face, but he actually refused to listen to dissuasion and overestimated his capabilities and wanted to use a ship to challenge the opponent's fleet!
Are you seeking death? !
He has never thought about the difference between what he is doing now and what the other person is doing? !
**********
The British fleet, which had originally outflanked them from three directions, had to move closer and gather in one direction at this time, rearranging itself according to the situation of the ships. Their goal is to adjust to a two-row battle line, but looking at the current weather, "Shadow Governor" Aldrich even feels that he may not be able to do it in a whole day!
The one-star battleship "Endeavour" was his flagship, and now... After he left the poop with a gloomy look, he just ordered to adjust the battle line and locked himself in the captain's cabin. The Governor of San Juan was hunched over and waiting outside the captain's cabin, sweat dripping down his clothes, but he did not dare to move.
ps:
I'm just worried that I won't have time to post the whole thing, so I split one chapter and posted it first...
