Chapter 41 Strange Gunboat

"Ahem! I... I'd better go to the deck and take a look!" I finally backed down and found an excuse and ran out of the room.

"I'll go too!" Rose ran out after me.

"I...you...! Get more rest!" Bingbing followed out incoherently. The air in the room was definitely suffocating, so running out was an instinctive reaction!

When I came to the deck, I finally took a big breath. Standing on the bow of the ship, the oncoming sea breeze blew on my face and I felt much better! Rose came up from behind and hugged my waist. I could only hold her hands in front of me and gently caress them to express my silent feelings. At this time, words could no longer achieve the purpose of communication!

"I'm tired of fighting the Japanese, but you, a deserter, are actually trying to be romantic like the Titanic! Go to hell!"

"Ah!" Rose and I were pushed out from behind by a huge force. We didn't need to think about it to know who kicked us. But the problem is that this is my ship, and NPCs will never kick me as the captain, but I know the other people, so they have no reason to kick me!

Now I don’t even care to think about who kicked us, because Rose and I were both kicked off the deck. If we don’t care, we will fall into the sea again! "Werewolf transformation!" I completed the transformation in the air, hugged Rose's waist with one hand, and hit the side of the ship with my other hand (paw). As expected, the long sharp claws easily penetrated the deck and fixed us to the side of the ship.

I kicked the deck with both feet and nailed the long hooks on the outside of the armor into the side of the ship. Then with a sudden force, I held the rose in one hand and flew up to the deck. "Which bastard just kicked me?"

"What do you think I kicked?" I saw at a glance that it was the magic swordsman named Wuyu who was tied to the bow of the boat by Ziyue. He is now staring at me from the bow of the boat with his hands on his hips.

"Did I offend you? Why did you kick me?"

"You didn't offend me, but I'm unhappy with you!"

"Oh?" I was a little angry too. No matter who was being kicked into the sea while they were having a good time with their wife, they wouldn't be happy. "Why do I make you unhappy?"

"Everything about you makes me unhappy!" This guy actually acted as if he was taking it for granted. "Let me ask you, are you the captain of this ship?"

"Yes! So what?" As a captain, should I be beaten?

"So you are the one who gave the order to turn around and return?" He was moving his joints. "You deserter, weakling!"

"It was me. Do I have to go through you when I give orders to my battleships?" I pushed the rose away and was ready to take action at any time.

"Why didn't you pursue the Japanese and let them escape? You traitor? What are you going to do if you don't resist the Japanese? Are you a traitor?" His words became increasingly unpleasant. "Ouch! Who hit me?"

"You have to offend everyone, don't you?" Zhan Ge held Wuyu's ears with one hand and scolded him fiercely, then turned to me. "I'm really sorry, this guy is this kind of person. Don't argue with him!"

"It doesn't matter. I know he is also eager to fight, but you'd better keep an eye on him. Not everyone can bear this kind of provocative behavior!" Since the other party appeared to beg for mercy, I had to be more generous!

When I heard the war song, I said happily without thinking about it: "Thank you! This guy goes crazy when he hears about beating the Japanese. I really can't stand it. You don't know that all the ships in the nearby waters can go out to sea to participate in the war. He has been there, but now no one is willing to let him on the ship. Every time he fights with the Japanese, as long as he does not sink a Japanese warship or his own ship is sunk, he will call the captain a traitor, so there is no A man is willing to let him on board!”

"If this is really the case, then he is a passionate young man! Why don't you join my ship from now on!"

"You want us to come with your ship?" Zhan Song asked in surprise. "We often do bad things!"

"Don't you want to resist Japan?"

"I think so! But..."

I stretched out my hand to stop him from talking. "That's enough. You two will be my stormtrooper captains from now on! Just work hard from now on, I..."

"Enemy attack!" I heard the lookout call out before I could finish speaking.

boom! The sound of an explosion came from the side deck of the Bi Ling, and I knew it had been hit by a shell. Damn lookout, the enemy was actually close enough to the artillery range to find the enemy! "Report the distance and direction!" I asked loudly while running towards the magic crystal cannon on the bow of the ship.

"Five o'clock to the side and rear, 3,000 yards away!"

"What?" I stopped. "Did you read that correctly? Are there any cannons that can fire at this distance?"

"Report, long-range artillery! I saw three!" the lookout reported.

"I saw it too! There are so many!" The first mate stood on the side of the ship and looked at the enemy ships through a monocular to report the situation. "Lu Li is getting closer. The other party is faster than us." After saying that, he shouted before I could give the order. "All personnel are in place. The gunner is loading the shells quickly. Helmsman, full right rudder! Retract the main sail, bring out the left propeller, and reverse the right propeller! Turn around!"

The eagle rushed up from the cabin. "What happened? Who are we fighting again?"

"I don't know! The other side doesn't have a flag! But it's probably the Japanese, because the ones that attacked us just now were long-range artillery." As I said that, I handed the telescope handed over by the first mate to Eagle.

Ying set up his telescope and looked at the enemy ships in the distance. "It is indeed a long-range cannon, but I don't know why the Japanese didn't bring out such a powerful multi-gun speedboat just now? The ship we sank at the beginning was only equipped with a long-range cannon, but now this ship is actually equipped with such a many!"

"How do I know? Just don't worry about it, just sink it!" I took back the telescope and counted it. "1, 2, 3, 4...17, 18, I saw 18 doors, how many did you see?"

"18, I also saw 18 doors." the second officer replied.

The lookout man shouted: "There are two doors at the bow and one at the stern!"

"so much!"

Just as Ying finished speaking, a cannonball flew over, and with a bang, the second mainmast collapsed, and the entire mainsail fell down. We were so frightened that we ran away. But the canvas area was too big, so we couldn't escape and were buried under it.

"Damn, what a fierce firepower!" I climbed out from under the canvas and stared at the battleship in the distance and got angry. "Eagle, follow me to the main gun!"

"Here we come!" The eagle crawled out from under the canvas and followed me into the turret of the magic crystal cannon.

After getting into the turret, I started to use the star pupil to aim at the enemy ship. With the help of the star pupil, I easily locked onto the enemy ship. "Fire!" I yelled. Eagle quickly pulled the bombardment valve, and a purple cannonball quickly flew out. Everyone was staring at the cannonball flying towards the enemy ship at a very slow speed, dragging a long trail. But what makes us depressed is that the shells did not hit the target. It is not that my aim is inaccurate. The main problem lies in the magic crystal cannon.

Magic crystal cannons are very different from ordinary naval guns. Battleships use gunpowder-driven cannons, but magic crystal cannons use magic crystals. Generally, artillery shells have a short range and have little power, while magic crystal cannon shells have a long range and are very powerful. However, the magic crystal cannon has a fatal flaw, that is, the flight time of the magic crystal cannon's shells is very long. The magic crystal cannon's shells are not as agile as the cannon's small shells. On the contrary, its shells are huge and fly extremely slowly. The worst thing is that the huge fireball-like thing can actually glow. What fool would watch something as big as a small sun flying towards him and not hide away! But fortunately, the magic crystal cannon's shells are indeed slower compared to the flight speed of the shells, but compared to other things, it is still very fast.

But now we are probably facing the fastest ship in Japan, and the distance between us is really very far, which causes the flight time of the cannonball to be unexpectedly long. A total of about 12 seconds passed from the time the cannon was fired to the time the shells fell into the sea. In these short 12 seconds, the battleship had already passed its original position. We watched as the shell flew past the stern of the target warship and fell into the sea within a hair's breadth.

But the powerful power of the magic crystal cannon still earned us a little bit of the price. The magic crystal cannonball exploded, and a huge water column more than 20 meters high rose into the sky. When the water column fell back, the shock wave and the waves hit the battleship, which was much smaller than us. We don't know how much actual damage this shell caused, but the most obvious effect we saw was that a dozen small water columns rose up around us.

The battleship had obviously just fired a side salvo, and all the shells that were supposed to hit us were shot into the sea because the opponent was unable to aim due to the shock wave.

The first mate saw the time and gave the order. "Advance at full speed! Close the distance and prepare for a bombardment!" Since we were sailing opposite each other, we rushed into the battleship in an instant.

"Fire!"

The Biling fired almost at the same time as the opponent's warship, and both sides were now firing at each other without any tactics. The target warship originally didn't intend to get close to us when they saw us rushing towards us. They expected to stay out of our firing range and take advantage of our firing range to keep fighting with us. However, our U-turn was too sudden and our ship's speed was also considerable. , In addition, they were just hit by the shock wave, so they couldn't react in time and were rushed to us. Besides, a battleship is not a car. It cannot turn its head immediately if you turn it in the direction, unless it is a monster with a lot of long pulp like the Biling.

In short, we rushed to the enemy ship, and what followed was an artillery battle without any suspense. It was a face-to-face encounter. The 300 cannons on our right side of the ship opened 300 holes in the enemy ship very beautifully. Of course, there were more of us. There are a lot of big holes, but compared to the size of the Biling, these minor injuries are nothing!

After crossing our side, the other warship had no intention of turning and just rushed straight forward, intending to distance itself from us. I immediately got out of the fort and gestured to the first officer company and shouted: "Turn around and catch up!" "

The first mate quickly understood what I meant. "Lower the right anchor! Turn the sail, reverse the right oar, and go full speed with the left oar! Release the wheel!"

The anchor on the right side of the Biling was suddenly thrown to the bottom of the sea. The anchor hook caught the seabed and pulled the huge hull of the Biling with almost brutal force to make an almost impossible large-angle maneuver. The helmsman released the steering wheel at the right time, only to see that the helmsman that only two people could control spun rapidly like crazy. Thanks to the two helmsmen, they released the helm, otherwise the two of them would have flown out now!

The huge rotation of the battleship Biling made everyone feel like they were about to vomit. The huge battleship turned around with g-force similar to that of a fighter jet. This inertial force was not something that anyone could bear.

The people on the enemy ship who saw this scene were stunned. This spectacular scene was equivalent to someone using the 'An-22' to make a Cobra maneuver (those who don't know can imagine a 17-meter-long heavy-duty trailer) A spectacular scene of tail flicking in front of you).

It wasn't just the people on the enemy ship who saw this scene. Just as we were drifting, several Warships of the Hot Blood Alliance happened to appear in sight. They were also shocked by such a huge battleship's tail swing. The giant wolf that rose up almost took the speed ship in front and flew it up.

After swinging over the bow, we were facing the stern of the enemy ship. I originally planned to send them a shot, but I was held down by the eagle. "Calm down, we have a good opportunity now. Their cannons are very good. It would be great if we could get a few and build them ourselves!"

"Yes!" I also ran out of the fort. "First mate! Use the grappling hook to trap the enemy ship!"

The first mate immediately ran to the forward deck and began to direct. "Take the ramming angle! Deploy the ballista and attach the lanyard!"

A huge ballista quickly stretched out from under the deck of the bow. A dozen sailors held a rope with a leg-thickness and hung it on the tail of the crossbow. The other end of the rope was wrapped around a 16-man sailor. On the push winch. With an order, the huge crossbow arrow flew out. Due to the extremely close range, the crossbow arrow penetrated the tail of the enemy ship and directly entered the cabin.

"Reef the sails, anti-slurry! Lower the anchor! Retract the mooring rope!" The second officer immediately directed the sailors to start moving. The entire Bi Ling stopped instantly, the rope on the bow immediately straightened, and the entire enemy ship jumped up due to the sudden force. Then fell back into the water.

"Archers!" I shouted as the combat sailors lined up ahead of the ship for our first close encounter.

All combat sailors are ready on the bow, and 16 chore sailors are also struggling to turn the huge winch. The battleship in front is being pulled over bit by bit by us. I stood on the bow of the boat and transformed into a werewolf, drooling and looking at those strange-looking cannons in an indecent manner, "These are all mine! Hahahaha!"

"Brothers, rush!" I looked at the distance. Before I could shout, a black figure next to me had already rushed out. Although I couldn't see the face, I already guessed who it was. The one who rushed over was the radical Wu Yu. This kid rushed onto the cable connecting the two ships alone and rushed over by stepping on the rope. Zhen Zhen admired him so much that even though he could do this, he actually let him rush over. Has he ever practiced tightrope walking? Although the cable is as thick as a human leg, the rope connecting the two ships in the sea is still shaking very hard. He won't fall!

Although he shouted slogans and rushed over bravely, in fact, he was the only one who passed by. The sailors only recognize me as the captain and my designated deputy captain Eagle, and they will not listen to other people's orders. As for Bai Ling and Da Guofan, they are all players, who would be stupid enough to rush over on the rope! So the final situation was that Wuyu was the only one who rushed to the enemy ship on the opposite side. Of course, he was immediately surrounded.

"Fire arrows!" I ordered the archers to start attacking. Although they may not be able to save Wuyu, it should still be possible to help.

My archers quickly fired the first round of arrows, and the flaming arrows quickly turned the deck of the enemy ship into a sea of ​​fire. What surprised us was that there were very few combat sailors on the enemy ships. Maybe they had always relied on the range of long-range cannons and their own speed to win, so they never considered the need for hand-to-hand combat.

With a bang, our battleship and the enemy ship were stuck together. "Come on!" I gave the order and jumped directly. Originally, I planned to jump to the bow of the ship so that I could rush over first, but my werewolf body was really not used to it. When I landed, I was already on the opposite battleship, and It was in the middle of the opposing battleship. Fortunately, I didn't think about jumping over it just now, otherwise I would probably have jumped over the bow of the opponent's ship and fell into the sea now!

As soon as I landed, the enemy sailors around me immediately gathered around me. I punched a sailor away and then used the strength I usually used to jump up a flight of stairs to easily jump over the sailors' heads and land directly in the cabin of the enemy ship. Entrance.

A bunch of 'garbled' languages ​​appeared in my ears. I knew it was a foreign language, but I didn't know which country it was. I had never heard a similar language, but one thing is for sure. , this is not Japanese, which means this is not a Japanese battleship. But why do foreign warships appear here and attack us inexplicably?

I quickly grabbed the guy who was screaming at me and threw him onto the deck of the Biling. "First officer, put this guy in a cell!"

"yes!"

After throwing away this guy, I started looking for other players on this boat. If I catch a few more, maybe there will be some who understand Chinese. Since they came to China to cause trouble, there must be someone who understands Chinese. While I was looking for them, a guy in a cloth robe with walking strips wrapped around his head ran up. Now I knew who these people were.

"Indian?" The battle ended quickly. There was no suspense in the battle between the two ships. This clipper ship had no fighting sailors at all. Except for a few superficial sailors, the number of people on this ship was pitiful, so we were very worried. The battleship was quickly captured. Everyone is currently having a meeting in the command room of our battleship Biling. King Chuang actually came here with the people from the Hot Blood Alliance. After knowing that this was my ship, he also came here to visit.

"Yes, they should be Indians!" I answered Chuang Wang: "Their clothes are very similar to Indians, and their language is also very similar. They are probably Indians."

"It would be nice if I could catch one and ask about it." King Chuang sighed.

"Caught! And there are 7 of them!"

"What, you caught him? Where are the people?"

"On the boat! I locked them up!"

"What?" King Chuang jumped up. "How can you just lock them up? Although they are not allowed to return to the city at sea, they can go back as long as they 'commit suicide'! The rule at sea is that dead people are resurrected on the ship they came from, and the ship is captured or sunk Then Death will return directly to the city. Maybe they have returned to the city now!"

"It's okay! My ship is too big and has too much space. I don't know how to install cabins, so we installed a lot of messy cabins, including cells. The cells here are the same as those built by the guild itself. The prisons in the city are the same. As the captain, I can impose the highest punishment and lock the prisoners for 24 hours, and this is online time. As long as I don't let them go or the time is up, they will have to kill themselves and force them to return to the novice area. You have to stay here!”

"Then why don't you go and ask?"

"Do you understand Indian?"

"Oh! By the way, doesn't the system translation allow simultaneous translation?"

"Try it yourself!"

After a while, Chuang Wang said helplessly: "It seems that it can't be done at sea!"

"So I'm rushing back, just wait until I get to the port!" I suddenly remembered: "By the way, how is the situation of the ship chasing the Japanese warship?"

"What else can we do? We've arrived at the port!"

"So fast?" Wuyu shouted in surprise, and then shouted at me. "It's just that you don't want to chase. Look, they've all finished beating the Japanese and gone home!"

King Chuang continued: "They were caught off guard when the Japanese turned around and shot back. All the boats that chased them out sank. Now the people on the boats have returned to the port and been resurrected!"

Wuyu became quiet immediately.

"Ah..." A melodious and beautiful female voice suddenly appeared around us. It sounded like someone was singing. The voice was so beautiful and charming, and it also had a strange feeling. But this sound obviously did not come from the female players on the ship, because the players on several ships were all here, the NPCs couldn't sing, and there seemed to be no female NPC sailors! Who is singing?
