Chapter 891: New Tactics
The old sea wolf's methods are very clever, and the repainted 'Pelican' Galen warship has a new look, and it has long lost its original image. Stoke sailed the ship to sea for a sea trial, and the first thing he said when he came back was, "This ship is the fastest and most nimble sailboat I have ever seen!" The whole Caribbean, no, the whole Atlantic, has nothing to match! ”
To the confusion of the old Seawolf and Stoker, the shadow baron and Akon unanimously demanded the installation of the long-range cannon, not even a cannon. If this is after engaging the enemy ship, how can the firepower be compared to the opponent's? To Stoker's consternation, the bookdemon and Akon let Stoke steer the ship in a naval duel with Captain Hook!
"It's not brave! This is a send-off! Stoke roared, "Do you know how powerful the Blood Lion is?! If the boat approaches it, it will turn into a pile of sawdust in less than two minutes! They didn't even have to board the boat to let me feed the sharks! I refuse such a suicidal duel! I am the navigator, not your victim! ”
"Who told you to approach the Blood Lion?" Akon smiled mysteriously, "I don't think in the whole of the Caribbean, that ship wants to approach that mad lion...... I just want you to be like this...... Our tactic is ......" Akon whispered in Stoker's ear, as if it was the temptation of the devil, and gradually made Stoker's angry expression slowly become sorrowful, and then slowly stretched out until Zuihou ......
Stoke Daxiao said, "I want to say, you guys are really a bunch of geniuses! Also a bunch of crazy people! I've never heard of a 70-foot light galen that would dare to compete with a 150-foot carrak! Although risky, your tactics are undoubtedly refreshing. If the two Barons are willing to be on board with me, I will fight to the death with Captain Hook's 'Blood Lion' in this little pelican! ”
"Of course! But we're missing a gunner...... "Akon and Stoke looked into the distance......
Sitting on the gun carriage and throwing peas into his mouth, Jack shivered all over his body for no reason, and a pea that had just fallen into the air fell straight into his open mouth and stuck in his throat, choking him with a series of violent coughs and turning his face red......
"What?!" Red Cloth Striped Jack's two goldfish eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and he screamed like a woman, "This is suicide!" ”
Akon handed him a bottle of rum, and after seeing that he had taken two sips, his mood stabilized a little bit, and then asked, "Do you know how far the best gunner on the 'Blood Lion' can shoot?" ”
"Are you talking about me?" Red Strip Jack pointed to the tip of his nose.
"...... except you"
Jack shrugged his shoulders and took a greedy sip of rum, "That fat fur dog guy always thought he could hit a small sampan 1,000 feet away. But he never succeeded......"
"What about you?" Akon stared at Jack with red cloth.
"Me?" Red Cloth Strip Jack suddenly smiled slyly, "Your Excellency, you should know ......"
Akon slapped the table, "Of course I do!" From 2,000 feet away, you turned my speedboat over with a short-barreled cannon with a range of only 1,500 feet! ”
"At a distance of 500 feet, I broke up the fireball technique you shot!" Red Cloth Strip Jack Daxiao added, under the influence of rum, this guy's courage also increased.
"Then what can you do with that big guy and show me?!" Akon pointed to the 'nasty tongue' on the deck, and yelled at Jack of the Red Cloth!
Jack of the Red Cloth took a sip of his rum and stared at the Kouferin cannon with some obsession, as if he saw the cannon smiling strangely at him. And he is stepping on the gun carriage infinitely heroically, commanding a few assistants, and bombarding a galleon on the sea in the distance! The large Koufilin was like an extension of his second child, and the 'Blood Lion' on the sea was like the prettiest prostitute in Port-au-Prince, and he was happily* with her......
"her!" Red Cloth Strip Jack roared with red eyes under the influence of alcohol!
"That's right! him! Akon slammed his fist on the table.
"her! Kill the 'Blood Lion'! Jack of the Red Cloth screamed and drank half of the rum, then threw it out with all his might. Boom-" The rum bottle exploded on the barrel, shards of crystal glass and golden liquor splattered in all directions, and Red Cloth Strip Jack felt like he had climaxed......
…………
"Boom-" A cannonball slammed into the top of the main mast accurately, breaking the tip of the mast, and the arrogant 'Blood Lion' pirate flag fluttered down......
"Report to the captain, it was that kid from Red Cloth Strip Jack who did it!" Scarface lowered his binoculars and shouted to Captain Hook, "If I catch that kid, I'm going to tie him to the barrel and let him enjoy every time I fire a cannonball until he's roasted to jerky!" ”
Captain Hook, who was standing at the bow of the ship, stared at the light Galen warship that had turned its bow and fled half a nautical mile away, with a gloomy gaze......
The Pirate Guild took great pains to organize a large group of pirate ships for this duel, and surrounded the duel area for ten nautical miles. Stoker's fleet and the 'Blood Lion' pirate group each sent a ship to fight each other. The 'Blood Lion' pirate group is naturally the most powerful and combat-powerful Captain Hook's flagship 'Blood Lion'.
To the surprise of Captain Hook and all the Caribbean pirates present, Stoke sailed a light Galen warship! The light Galen warship with a displacement of 150 tons compared to the Carrak galleon with a displacement of 600 tons, it was like a hyena against a male lion, looking so helpless.
There is no escaping this duel at sea, because the pirate ships on the periphery not only surround the area of the duel, but are also responsible for stopping the duelist side who try to escape from the sea. Whichever ship in the duel approaches the edge of the duel sea, it will be bombarded by the pirate ship responsible for intercepting it! Except that it is hung with a flag that symbolizes surrender......
The two ships came at a fierce collision, and when they were close to halfway up to sea, Captain Hook ordered the pirates on board to prepare for broadside battle. Trying to pay for this light warship that does not know the height of the sky in one fell swoop!
But the opponent's ship, suddenly turning its rudder with the wind, was actually about to flee, and when it turned left and deviated from thirty degrees, the bow gun of the opponent's light Galen warship suddenly opened fire from a long distance, and the pirate flag of Captain Hook was blown down with one shot! The light warship was very nimble, and after a single shot, it immediately drew a graceful arc on the surface of the sea and fled towards the flank of the 'Blood Lion'.
"Want to run?! It's not that easy! "Captain Hook slapped the side of the ship and ordered a 120-degree turn to the right, and pursued with full sail downwind!
Although Captain Hook knew that his ship could not steer well, the speed was very fast when the wind was full sail! Because my boat is big enough, the sail area is large and the wind is strong! In the case of going straight downwind, the speed is much faster than that of a light boat! Once your own ship rushes to the side of the light Galen warship, you can make it difficult for the opposing ship to control it with a single blow from the wind.
Then hundreds of crew members on their own ship will throw iron hooks and hook the opponent's ship to death! And the heavy cannons on the side will also fire at the same time, destroying the side of the opposing ship! By that time, hundreds of brothers had set up their porter hooks and rushed to the opposing ship, and in one fell swoop they would be able to capture the light warship! Captain Hook had even expected his own crew to jump onto the opposing ship and slaughter them. What a bloody fight it was!
But the first thing he saw was a ball of fire, shining from the side of the opposing ship......
"Our boat can't outrun them downwind!" Stoke shouted as he turned left with full rudders, "This angle is too dangerous!" ”
"Didn't you say that our ship is the fastest in the Caribbean?" Akon didn't quite understand.
"That's most of the time! With a full sail downwind, the sails of the opposing large ship have a large force surface, so the propulsion is much stronger than that of our light boats! Moreover, the 'Blood Lion' has a ship combat skill of assault charge, if we let him get close to a distance of 150 meters, we will be in big trouble! Through this ship combat skill, this guy Hook doesn't know how many merchant ships he thinks he can run fast have been killed! Stoke explained to Akon as he instructed the black sailors to steer the sails, "Fool, lower the bow sail and raise the boom and mainsail full!" Left full rudder! Damn, the wind is in their favor! ”
"Then what's the way to make us faster than each other?!" The ship spun sharply, and Akon steadied himself, impatiently cutting to the point.
"Unless you destroy the other party's mainmast! It's the huge sail on the mainmast with the image of a blood lion! Stoke didn't have time to teach Akon navigation, and kept giving navigational instructions, "The spinnaker of the backmast is ...... longitudinally by the wind."
Arkan silently walked to the side of the ship, beckoned, called Regulus over, handed him the 'Storm of Faith', and pointed to the oncoming 'Blood Lion', "Ruined his biggest sail!" ”
Regulus nodded, setting up the 'Storm of Faith', as an archer, he has a bonus to this ranged weapon, even in this violently shaking ship, he can lock on to the opponent. With Akon, I'm afraid the lockdown time will be extended due to interference.
Five seconds later, a blazing ball of fire enveloped in electric light roared out from the stern side of the ship, under the shock wave that spread out! Hit the biggest sail on the opponent's mainmast with a blood lion painted on it!
"Bastard! It's that fireball mage again! Captain Hook said angrily, he struck the bow of the ship with a heavy palm, only to see the golden lion-headed bow of the 'Blood Lion', and suddenly opened his bloody mouth and let out a lion roar: "Woo-"
A shockwave visible to the naked eye spread outward with the 'Blood Lion' as the center! But this shockwave can't stop the blazing flames of the 'Light of Faith'! The orange ball of fire only trembled slightly, and continued to rush towards the mainmast!
