Reborn As a Pirate

Chapter 95: Moths to the fire

   "The distance is six kilometers, the enemy will meet! The number, Brigentine seven ships, the speed is four knots, and the encounter is expected in 15 minutes!"

   Henna's voice drifted down against the sea breeze.

   Lorraine stood on the bow of the Butterfly Flower, holding the ferocious narwhal in his hand, squinting to enjoy the salty smell of the wind and sea.

   As the battle drew closer, he already felt the blood boil.

The Trojan Horse Fleet changed back to the Broken Fleet. The seven Brigantines lined up in a neat A-line formation, led by tuna and hurricanes, with cod, shower, cattail and clover on both wings, wrapping the **** in formation. center of.

   They are all familiar comrades in Lorraine, and he is a partner who can safely deliver his back.

   Their goal is only one, and that is the flagship of the Desai Chamber of Commerce, the five-tier Galen destroyer, the behemoth of the sea in the offshore business district, the Reindeer.

Lorraine knew that no matter how subtle artillery was done, the nine-pound shell assembled by Brigentine could not break the heavy hull of the Reindeer. Although the firepower of the Redhead Sultan was strong, its clumsy and old hull could not. A real threat to the Reindeer.

   Victory can only be exchanged with blood.

  He prepared a generous gift for Velen. The Pansy abandoned all the artillery. A total of two hundred sailor hedgehogs gathered in the small cabin, sharpened their knives and shouted for battle.

   That's why Lorraine needed the red-haired Sultan to entangle the firepower and attention of the Reindeer.

   He was going to forcibly receive the ship, forcibly board the ship, and was wounded and sunk in the battle of the Pansy. He also wanted to force this unfair duel to a fair field.

   And his brave and good comrades will open the way for him...

   Thinking of this, Lorraine drew out the long knife with a sound.

   "Order, Ravin Schugner, Admiral Yashin Shaklin, each lead to the left and right, drum sails to meet the enemy. Pansy, go forward!"

   Following the order, the peripheral warships spread their sails together, and the speed of the eight-node array was further increased. The slender warship broke through the waves, dispersed the array, and rushed bravely towards the enemy in front of him.

   Yassin and his Hurricane rushed the fastest, but for a two-kilometer voyage, he pulled away five or six hulls of other ships, plunged into the middle of the French fleet, and shouted: "Fire!"

   Boom boom boom boom!

   Both sides of the Hurricane fired at the same time, and the red projectiles spilled out, exploding huge sprays on the sea.

   The French fought back immediately.

   Fierce shelling hit the Hurricane, and the first shot hit the stern of the Hurricane, blasting the stern-tower terrace to the ground.

   The hull shook, but Ya Xin didn't move, and coldly ordered the helmsman to turn the rudder and lean forward to the left.

  His comrades rushed into the battlefield immediately following him, and the six warships pulled out the waterline that spread like fireworks, suppressing them toward both sides, forcing the French to avoid more outer waters.

  The artillery fire shook the four fields!

   A straight course was vacated in the center of the battlefield. Lorraine squinted at it and ordered loudly: "Full sail, rush!"

   The butterfly horn drum is full of sails!

   Downwind, full sails, because the heavy artillery was dismantled in advance, the lightly-packed Pansy rose high on the bow, and its overall speed suddenly rose, passing through the chaotic frontier battlefield like an arrow, and rushing straight to the main front of the artillery fire.

Five kilometers, four kilometers...Lorraine finally saw the towering mast tip of the Reindeer, the pirate flag of the golden sword flower hunting in the wind, the watchman shouted something at the deck, probably telling Weilun that there is a ship The reckless Brigentine broke through the barrier and was rushing towards the single ship Reindeer.

   Lorraine took a deep breath: "Prepare for war!"

   Prepare for battle!

   Three kilometers apart, sailors flocked out of the gun bay, holding scimitars, hooks, sharp axes, and jabs to gather on the deck.

   Yacharin shouted loudly on the deck, and a musket team of forty people lined up in the center of the deck.

   Pierce took his special maritime commuter rifle, slung it on his shoulders, and climbed up toward the specially modified iron observation deck at the top of the foremast.

   Heina, Noya, and Wang also stood behind Lorraine. Karen took over the command of the Pansy in an all-round way, white-eared meowing sensibly, and got into the bottom deck.

   Henna gave Lorraine a pair of special leather armguards. The heavy armguards were blue-gray, the inner layer was close to Lorraine's forearm, and the outer layer was thick and extended to protect the elbow and the back of the hand.

   Lorraine looked at this strange protective gear in amazement: "This is?"

   "The Komodo dragon from Hebasil Island, Pierce asked an excellent tanner in Plymouth to sew it. It's very easy to use." Hina raised her hand.

   She also has a pair of wristbands, which are different from Lorraine's armbands. They look simple and exquisite. The length only protects the lower end of the forearm. There are also prominent, movable leaves extending to the back of the hand, which are standard tailor-made.

   Lorraine tied the pair of wild-shaped armguards to his hands, pierced into the piso, and asked curiously: "Everyone on the ship has it?"

"The material is not enough. One of the leathers made Pierce a whole coat, which can be bulletproof. The other leather made me a pair of wrist guards, and a pair of arm guards for you and Karen. Later, Karen Realizing that Wang Ye's fighting skills were good, he gave him his armguards."

   This choice is obviously very sensible. The king also knows the skills of Taoism. Although Lorraine can't tell whether it is authentic or not, his actual combat performance is indeed excellent.

  In contrast, Karen is actually not good at fighting. Just like this battle, Lorraine arranged for him to command the sailors to take over, and he didn't expect him to gain much.

  Acharin's situation is similar.

  The gunner who is good at shooting and picking up girls will not put himself in a melee environment. In case he accidentally falls into it, his combat effectiveness is not worth looking forward to.

   Just Noah...

   Lorraine smacked his lips: "Where is Noya?"

   "Her craftsmanship requires too much center of gravity. According to her own words, she can't attach any heavy objects to her hands."

   "That's a shame..."

   For a moment, the combatants on the ship got ready. Lorraine raised his leg and sat on the ballista launch pad, holding the narwhal's cold and smooth grip with both hands, and aiming at the target.

  The distance between the two sides is only the last two kilometers...

   The Butterfly Flower has already reached its peak speed under the impetus of the wind, and it travels through the sea at a speed of more than 12 knots. In other words, it only takes about 5 minutes for this distance to become zero.

   The Red-Haired Sultan tried hard to evade amidst the artillery fire, slowly...slowly...blowing blue smoke, and went around to the back of the Reindeer.

The side of the    Reindeer deflected.

  Lorraine's complexion changed drastically!

   Because of Lonza’s stupid command, the red-haired sultan did not break away from the port side of the Reindeer, but sent the fast-charging Pansy to the starboard side of the Reindeer!

Galen-type destroyers have sixteen heavy guns on each side, six on the main deck, six on the 12-pound gun deck, and ten on the gun deck, with eighteen-pound guns. The counterattack Pansy was locked into the shooting circle.

   Lorraine stared at the sudden change, his face flushed.

   "Lonza, good job!" He stood up abruptly, gritted his teeth and yelled, "Get bombed right in front of you! Everyone fixes their bodies, keeps the rudder left, and avoids!"

   Boom boom boom boom!

Scattered flower-like shells bombarded the Pansy. With Lorraine’s warning in advance, Pansy avoided the bombardment at a large angle~www.wuxiamtl.com~ But there were too many sailors on the deck, and it happened suddenly. The change of direction caused the entire deck to turn on their backs. At least a dozen people screamed and fell into the sea like dumplings.

   The bulging sail also softened.

   The rapid cutting wind made the Pansy lose the speed it depends on for a living. What is the current speed? No one knows at all!

   Between the fright and anger, Lorraine suddenly heard the sailor yelling: "Oh my God! It's tuna, Admiral Shaugner is here!"

   Levin is here!

   Just like Lorraine did just now, he put the Tuna completely into the wind belt, and the entire battleship was full of sails. Taking advantage of the Pansy to avoid the stall, electric shots generally rushed past Lorraine.

   At the moment of passing by, Lorraine saw Raven standing pale on the side fence, shaking, and personally waved a semaphore to Lorraine.

   [Sorry for breaking your toy. Onward, the privateer of the North Sea. Forward, England]

   "Muzzle shift!" Pierce on the observation deck shouted in panic, "The tuna was bombed from the front! God, they gave up evasion!"

   Boom boom boom boom!

   Another round of cannonballs spilled out. A shotgun swept the deck of the Tuna. Lorraine saw Raven fly upside down like a broken sack.

But the speed of the Tuna did not slow down for a moment. It was like an arrow, like a arrow, like a moth flying towards the lights, raised its sharp bow high, tore away the layers of mist in front of it, and hit the starboard side of the Reindeer. !

   Boom!

   Lorraine tasted the salty corners of his lips.

   He sat back on the narwhal’s launch pad with a gloomy expression, his mouth full of blood, and whispered: "We have paid the price, Niald... Pansy, connect the ship, and rush in."

   "Cut the wind! Break in!"
