The so-called shark type sailboat refers to a type of fast sailing boat.
It has larger sails and a slender hull, which is good for riding wind and waves. It can only be used to carry light cargo and commute quickly, and is usually used to transport express mail.
Since this type of ship has a shorter bow, it must approach directly to shoot the grappling hook and then board the ship for combat. Fortunately, the pirate ship is not equipped with artillery, otherwise the Swan would have to be captured without help.
Alfonso commanded the sailors on the Swan and circled the pirate ship. This was not only a contest of skills and experience, but also a contest of physical strength and will.
The sea breeze seemed to be a little lighter, and the pirate ship was getting closer. With good eyesight, I could clearly see the shadowy pirates on the opposite side.
As it got closer and closer, the pirate ship's bow was equipped with a metal ram, and it seized an opportunity and rammed straight into it.
"Careful, hold on tight!" Captain Alfonso and all the sailors roared.
During the violent impact, the Swan shook violently, and the right tail of the Swan was damaged in the clicking sound. Fortunately, the Swan had adjusted its direction in advance and relieved at least half of the impact force, and was not pushed up at the moment of impact.
turn.
The pirates laughed wantonly, and some people raised their rifles and fired randomly at the deck of the Swan. Some sailors on the Swan could not help but fire back.
Sean broke into the Countess's apartment, followed by several of the Countess's guards, and these loyal guards sandwiched him firmly between them.
"Mr. Connery, are you okay?" the countess asked in surprise.
"Madam, I'm sorry, I need to borrow the window of your room." Sean said.
Regardless of the Countess's response, he walked directly to a window facing the direction of the pirate ship and pushed everything on the dressing table in front of the window to the ground.
The countess stopped the indignant guards and said in a cold tone:
"It's just an external possession."
Sean pressed the dressing table tightly against the window, pressed his left knee tightly against the cabin board, stabilized his body, and quietly extended the rifle barrel from the exposed corner.
There was no wind and three-foot waves on the sea, not to mention that the wind was still strong at this time and the ship was bumping. From the narrow shooting range, the target on the pirate ship opposite was even more uncertain.
Sean must be foolproof and hit the leader with one shot.
"Butler Miller, go tell Captain Alfonso that I need to keep the pirates closer to me. If he and his men are still alive, let the pirates join forces!"
After hearing this, Miller's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes to his master.
There was a delicate pistol placed next to the countess. She was not wearing a veil at this time. Her face was nervous and her red lips were trembling, but her blue eyes still revealed determination and stubbornness.
"Do as he says, Mr. Miller."
Butler Miller immediately left the room. Sean said to the countess's four guards:
"You guys, please follow my instructions and come here!"
The four strong men looked at each other, glanced at the countess, saw the countess nodded, and reluctantly walked to the window.
"How are your shooting skills?" Sean asked.
The leader of the four men replied:
"Within two hundred meters, we can guarantee to hit the target, but on this ship, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."
"That's enough." Sean nodded. He handed a single-hole telescope to the man and said, "I noticed that there were gunpowder barrels on the pirate ship. They were different colors. The barrel hoops were painted with white knee. The gunpowder in the army
The barrels are also configured in this way. I guess they are produced by an arms company.
The gunpowder barrels are on the deck. There are about four barrels put together. They are too brave and treat us as lambs to be slaughtered. You will aim at the gunpowder barrels later, do not expose the barrel, be careful to hide, and do not fire without permission.
Gun, as long as you hear the sound of my gun, fire. Then shoot freely, do you understand?"
"Understood!" the four people replied unevenly.
"Louder!" Sean couldn't help but raise his voice.
"clear!"
"Very good!" Sean nodded with satisfaction, and asked the four gunmen to observe with binoculars, and then each selected a shooting point.
The Swan lowered its mainsail and raised the white flag, which meant that the Swan was about to surrender.
The pirates cheered, and their whistles could be heard from far away. The pirate ship moved from the stern of the Swan to the right side, and slowly approached the Swan.
Sean aimed his rifle at the deck of the pirate ship. A tall guy was giving orders to the pirates around him. He was wearing a navy captain's uniform and a black three-cornered hat on his head.
Know where he got it from.
The pirates were armed with various weapons, mainly pistols, some were armed with trumpet guns, and others were armed with swords or knives, and their costumes were of various kinds.
The sailors on the Swan were all standing on the deck. No one was carrying weapons. They seemed very submissive. They even broke anchor.
The pirates fired grappling hooks into the Swan and then tried to force the two ships together.
Boom, Sean opened fire decisively.
The pirate leader was half shorter because the moment Xiao Si opened fire, a huge wave hit him. Because of this wave, Xiao Si's shot hit the man's abdomen instead of his head.
Sean secretly secretly reloaded the ammunition methodically, but the four guards of the Countess' family opened fire almost simultaneously, and they successfully hit the powder keg on the pirate ship.
After the dazzling flash, there was a violent explosion. Everything on the deck of the pirate ship was shrouded in smoke, and broken human bodies broke through the thick smoke and flew in the air.
Even the Swan was affected, with a hole appearing more than one meter above the waterline. The location was right under Sean's feet.
Alfonso climbed up from the deck and chopped off the grappling hook shot by the pirates with an axe. He wiped the sweat from his face and shouted:
"Weigh anchor and hoist sail!"
Except for a few sailors with guns on guard, everyone started to move.
Sean and the four gunners kept shooting, especially Sean, who shot and killed the bosses on the deck who were trying to give orders.
The Swan quickly left the scene, leaving only the pirate ship parked in the sea.
Captain Alfonso cruised around the pirate ship. The explosion not only directly destroyed the superstructure of the pirate ship, but also killed most of the pirates. It lost its sails and the ship was no longer able to drive autonomously. The ship was still on fire.
You can see pirates struggling to jump into the sea from a distance.
Captain Alfonso did not rescue the escaping pirates. In his words:
"Ashes to ashes, sea to sea."
He waited until no more living people jumped off the pirate ship, and then sent people to approach the pirate ship in a small boat. Sean wondered whether this guy was born to eat this bowl of rice.
"My ship has been damaged. Although I believe the countess will give me some compensation, I still hope to get some loot."
Alfonso saw his men standing on the opposite side waving their arms, and immediately ordered the Swan to approach the pirate ship, which was still filled with smoke.
However, the situation suddenly changed.
Puff.
Several harpoon-shaped objects flew over from the sea on the other side of the pirate ship.
The men sent by Alfonso died on the spot.
Sean and others looked over and saw three huge whales riding the wind and waves on the other side of the pirate ship.
There is a person riding on each giant whale. These three people are bare upper body, with light blue skin. They wear short aprons-like accessories around their waists to cover their shameful places. However, what is shocking is their legs.
The legs are like fins.
"God, what kind of monster is this!"
Baker exclaimed, having just fought with the pirates, he didn't know where he was hiding.
Three fish demons controlled three giant whales, circling the Swan. Outside the circle, densely packed sharks had been focused for some time. They were all huge in size, with sharp teeth like swords, and they looked like
A large and well-disciplined marine cannibal army.
Everyone on the Swan looked pale.
Even Captain Alfonso, who had been at sea for twenty years, found it incredible. He looked pale:
"This is the fish demon, the legendary fish demon! God, what did I do wrong?"
"Full sail!"
After a brief moment of confusion, Captain Alfonso shouted and ordered an all-out escape.
All the sailors started to move, and their desire to survive made them use more strength and energy to capture the wind than they had just fought against the pirates.
The Swan exerted the fastest speed it could achieve, and the hull turned a huge turn at a very large angle, almost tipping over. The tense sails pulled the mast and made a creaking sound.
All unfixed objects were thrown into the sea.
Behind the Swan, three riding whales were chasing behind, while a huge army of man-eating sharks was encircling and outflanking the ship on a large scale. From a distance, it looked spectacular.
In addition to Captain Alfonso and his sailors who were controlling the ship, Sean, Baker, Butler Miller and the merchants on the ship all worked together to throw all the cargo on the ship into the sea, hoping to alleviate the problem.
Take some of the load off the Swan and make it go faster.
As one of the best merchant ships, the Swan has a maximum speed of nearly 20 knots when facing a headwind. But at this time, with a tailwind, it cannot be faster than the man-eating shark army that is pursuing it with all its strength.
These man-eating sharks can cruise long distances at speeds much faster than commercial ships.
The Swan was like their prey, being detoured, driven and surrounded by sharks. The sailors were exhausted, constantly raising and lowering the sails, changing the angle to the wind, and could never escape the fate of being surrounded.
Luckily these man-eating sharks can't jump on boats to eat people.
On the sea level, the setting sun is like blood.
"Captain, you must kill those fishmen, otherwise they will keep chasing you." Sean rushed to the deck and yelled.
This ship is also equipped with a crossbow, which is specially used to shoot whales. It is also a necessary equipment for some merchant ships, because if you are lucky enough to shoot a whale during the trip, it can be regarded as a windfall.
There is a crossbow on the left and right sides of the deck. Each crossbow is equipped with a winch and requires four people to operate. Sean and others stood on guard at the stern of the ship with rifles, firing from time to time to build momentum.
The crossbow gun did not hit the fish demon, but it successfully made the fish demon relax its pursuit.
By this time, the night had darkened, and the Swan finally forced the fish demon to give up the pursuit.
Everyone had been highly nervous before, and only after they relaxed did they feel exhausted. People were lying all over the deck.
"This world is really scary!" Sean said to himself sincerely.
Captain Alfonso climbed onto the mast and laughed.
