Chapter 191: Ancient Tactics Recorded in Naval Textbooks

The latest website: Wang Tiandi seemed to understand Yi Lin's words.

Barking barking non-stop, suddenly excited.

In the dark night, on the Queen, the two shiny dog ​​eyes are like two light bulbs glowing green.

"Hit the navy?"

Among the pirates, someone suddenly said something in a low voice.

"Are we going to beat the Navy?"

"Stop running?"

"We are pirates!"

"But the captain is right. Isn't it natural for pirates to beat up the navy? Yo? Wait, what is natural? Oh, damn it, is this drinkable?"

"..."

Ruth's eyes widened.

Finally, she realized that Yi Lin was not joking.

yes!

The logic is clear and there is nothing wrong with it.

As a pirate, you should beat the navy!

Yi Lin nodded affirmatively.

"What is the magnification of your telescope?"

Ruth: "???"

Yi Lin didn't talk nonsense, and directly stuffed the military-grade binoculars in her hands into Ruth's hands.

Ruth raised the binoculars and saw that Yi Lin's binoculars were much higher resolution than her cheap ones, and they didn't print codes. With just one glance, Ruth could judge all the movements of the warship in the distance.

The Queen...is being targeted!

Navy warships are chasing here at full speed!

Ruth's expression was dignified, and in her mind, she quickly calculated the current, wind direction, and the tonnage of the opponent's warship... all kinds of data gradually gathered into a terrible answer in Ruth's calculations through [navigation] skills.

Even if you turn around now, you will be caught up sooner or later!

Unless...the Queen can be sheltered by the sea!

But is it possible?

There are two women on board the Queen.

It is very possible that the warship in the distance is also the "bad luck" brought by the two women.

Thinking of this, Ruth no longer hesitated, like a woman in the wind, she put down her binoculars and decisively gave instructions one after another.

"Listen to the captain's order! The Queen is ready to attack!"

"Yo--"

All the pirates cheered instantly.

In the blood of the pirates, there is an adventurous factor. Although the pirates are greedy for life and fear of death, at this moment, they somehow have confidence in this ship and their captain.

Maybe it's because of what Yi Lin did on Tetuga Island, or because of the mysterious "black witchcraft" he showed.

If it was this kind of mystery, standing opposite the pirates, these pirates would definitely turn around and run away without hesitation.

However, now, the skeleton gentleman who possesses the mysterious power of "black witchcraft" is the captain of this ship!

And that dog who slapped people to death with one slap!

All these are the sources of confidence for the pirates.

In an instant, all the pirates on the Queen, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, started to move neatly under Ruth's command.

In the dark.

The other side of the Queen.

It is a heavy warship reinforced by armor.

——"The Brave".

It is said that the origin of the name of this ship is to commemorate the "Intrepid" that was sunk by those damn pirates through conspiracy and tricks many years ago.

Known as the sister version of "Dreadnought".

On the Brave, a man dressed gorgeously and wearing an officer's wig, with a calm face and as resolute as a knife, was holding up a binoculars and staring at the sailing ship flying the skull flag in the dark without saying a word.

"Hehe... Did you really turn around? These damned pirates really dare not fight us head-on."

"Report to Lieutenant General Pope! The pirate ship turned around! Should we continue to pursue?"

Lieutenant General Pope: "Huh! Go at full speed! As long as it is a pirate, we will never let it go!"

The adjutant standing beside Lieutenant General Pope hesitated for a moment: "Lord Lieutenant General, do you think the fiancée of the Governor General will be on that ship?"

"Hehe, how is it possible?" Lieutenant General Pope shook his head: "Half a month ago, the fleet of that idiot Nolando was shipwrecked and the entire army was wiped out. Nolando drifted to a deserted island. Nolando was dead a long time ago. Even Nolando, who had undergone rigorous training, barely survived that shipwreck..."

"Do you think that the governor's fiancée can do better than Nolando? Don't forget...she is a woman, hehe, women have never been favored by the sea."

The adjutant couldn't help asking: "Does Lieutenant General Pope also believe in those illusory 'curses'?"

Pope smiled coldly: "How could I believe it? Those are old legends! As the Royal Navy, you must believe in science."

"Of course——" Lieutenant General Pope changed his tone: "If I were Norland, just to be on the safe side, after picking up the Governor's fiancée on board, I would definitely sail along the offshore sea, drop off the woman after arriving at Port Royal, and then pass Land transportation to send Ms. Elizabeth back to the Governor."

The adjutant smiled and said, "As expected of Lieutenant General Pope, he is really prudent in his actions."

"etc."

Lieutenant General Pope suddenly frowned.

in the telescope.

The pirate ship with a strange skull flag had a white thing erected at the stern.

Very bright in the dark.

If you look more closely, it turns out to be a pair of dirty white underwear.

Seeing this scene, Pope was speechless.

Seeing Lieutenant General Pope's strange expression, the adjutant also raised his binoculars.

A few seconds later, the adjutant's expression was exactly the same as Lieutenant General Pope's.

"Ah this? Those damned pirates are raising the white... flag? Are they trying to surrender?"

Lieutenant General Pope was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"My stupid lieutenant, do you remember what was the first lesson we learned in the Naval Academy?"

The adjutant nodded.

Because the title page of every Naval Academy textbook is neatly printed with three sentences——

[Pirates must die! 】

[Pirates never tell the truth! 】

[Be careful of the ropes of every pirate! 】

Every qualified navy has memorized these three sentences of naval military training over and over again, and they are familiar with them by heart.

Lieutenant General Pope: "Remember, we are dealing with despicable, hateful, damned pirates. They will rob ships, rob banks, destroy execution grounds, and pretend to be judges. They do all kinds of evil...they surrender? It must be a conspiracy !"

"Subordinates understand!"

"Everyone! Load the shells! Go at full speed! Once the pirates are within range, listen to my instructions and be ready to fire at any time!"

A series of instructions were issued.

Pope twisted the telescope in his hand.

suddenly.

He saw an elegant and mysterious black figure in the widest field of vision.

Is that...a tuxedo? ? ?

"?"

Pope couldn't help but put out a big question mark.

Across the sea, on the other side.

Queen.

Yi Lin put down the binoculars.

As the two ships approached one after the other, Yi Lin stared at a man holding a binoculars on the enemy ship for a while.

"Is the opponent's commander?"

Erin smiled slightly.

Ruth looked tense.

She also looked through the binoculars and roughly guessed the cannon equipment on the enemy warship.

It seems to be just a mid-tier warship, about the same tonnage as the Queen.

But obviously, judging from the opponent's hull that was obviously reinforced with steel plates, if the two sides fired at each other, it would undoubtedly be the Queen who would suffer.

Guang must be afraid of wearing shoes. After all, if they step on each other, Guang will definitely hurt more, no doubt.

——and the other party seemed to be wearing iron boots.

in the cold wind.

Examination clutched his chilly legs and shivered.

"Dear great captain, can faithful Charlie wear these trousers?"

Ruth was very speechless about Yi Lin's sudden act of pretending to surrender: "Do you really think they will believe it?"

"I don't believe it."

Erin came to a conclusion.

"Then you still try?"

"Just try it, and you won't get pregnant. But it seems that pirates have a very bad impression in the Navy's mind... Oh yes, Charlie, you can put on your pants and roll."

Wang Tiandi squatted on the bow, fluttering in the wind.

The two ships are getting closer.

Ruth's expression became more and more tense.

The shells have been loaded.

On the Brave, there was a rattling sound of chains moving from the bow iron plate, and two rounds of exquisite bow guns were pushed out from the hull, and the black barrels pointed directly at the direction where Yi Lin and Ruth were.

"It's now!"

Ruth suddenly yelled, and when she was nervous, there was a broken sound in her voice, and she had no time to pay attention.

"anchor!"

"Drop all sails!"

"Full starboard! Sharp turn—"

This kind of backward sailing boat is different from driving when it is moving and turning. Cars can be dragged when they say drag racing, turn when they say turn, and brake when they say brake. But to steer a medium-sized sailboat, you must account for wind direction, currents, and every structure of the boat.

It is also thanks to Yi Lin who directly recruited nearly 200 people on the Queen's ship regardless of the cost on Tetuga Island. The most important thing that this Queen's ship lacks at present is manpower.

hiss--

Aboard the Brave!

Before the Queen made a sharp turn, Pope also waved his hand and gave instructions.

"Bow gun, fire! Kill these damned pirates!"

Rumble——

In the dark night, the two bow guns of the Brave spewed out dazzling tongues of flame, and the shells blasted out.

But no one expected that just half a minute before the cannon was ejected, the Queen, which was within range, suddenly made a 180-degree turn on the sea surface, and in a blink of an eye, it circled to the side of the Brave !

The distance between the two ships was so close that in the sea breeze, Pope could even smell the smell of rum coming from the dirty pirate ship along the sea breeze.

The Queen's sudden and sharp turn only made the experienced Admiral Pope stunned for a few seconds, and then sneered disdainfully: "It's this kind of old-fashioned navigation again? Don't you know, stupid pirates, since the fearless After the number was destroyed by this trick, your sharp turn tactics have already been recorded in textbooks?"

Thinking of this, Pope continued to order calmly: "The damn pirate is on our right! The right string gun is ready, and all shells are loaded! Wait for my order!"

aboard the Queen.

Ruth bit her lower lip.

Her tactic of facing the bomb after a sharp turn is indeed an old-fashioned tactic. It has been passed down among pirates, and it is said that it is the wisdom left by a certain legendary pirate.

But the other party seemed to be calm about this change. All the gun ports on the right side of the Brave were opened, dozens of cannons were pushed out, and they faced the Queen across a small ocean.

Continue like this--

Maybe it was the Queen that was sunk instead!

at this moment.

On the Queen, none of the pirates noticed, Yi Lin raised the binoculars again.

Lock your eyes on the figure on the enemy ship that stands tallest and moves the most.

"I guess you are the commander..."

Yi Lin murmured in a low voice, coughed twice, and spoke loudly to the air across the sea.

"Let the world feel the pain from now on!"
