Reborn As a Pirate

v1 Chapter 117: Snake Catching

   With the paralysis of the Brig sailboat, Lorraine grasped the rhythm of the battle for the first time.

   He waited for this opportunity for a long time, so when he saw the mainmast in the distance fell down, he couldn't wait to order the Golden Deer to turn the rudder and turn his side to face the target.

   The twelve-pounder gun on the main deck, and the eighteen-pounder gun in the gun bay, roared secondly, sending sky-splashing shells on the enemy ship like hitting a fixed target.

  The gunners showed amazing accuracy and proficiency.

  In just three or four minutes, the side cannons completed three rounds of salvo. Almost all the shells fell within 100 meters of the enemy ship, and three shells hit directly.

   A cannonball fell on the bow of the ship, penetrated through the gap in the hull, lifted off half of the bow, and the fire was raging.

   A cannonball fell on the main deck, tearing a large pit on the main deck, and singed out large areas of scorched black, looking hideous and terrifying.

   There is also a thick angle that is falling on the main deck and the rib of the ship, and it is directly blown out, and half of the guardrail is taken down, making the whole ship look more bleak.

   Lorraine pursed his lips and said nothing.

   It is only a matter of time before sinking the Brig type.

   As the Brig type fell into danger, not only did the Viper attack fiercely, even the Brigentine in the distance raised its sails for the first time and swooped toward the direction of the battlefield.

   This battle has reached the turning point of victory.

   The black Mamba pirates have all their cards, but the situation is good for Lorraine.

   Amy Ferrard earlier threw the lookout Brigentine at the leeward near the main route. Upwind, no matter how good the ship’s wind performance is, it will take at least two hours to cross the 20-odd kilometers to join the battle.

   In these two hours, Lorraine had to face only a fixed target that had lost its evasion ability, and the Viper, a modified Bagh-shaped ship that was not slippery.

   Do not miss the machine!

  He reached out his hand to drag a sailor, and ordered in a deep voice: "Tell Acharin to use the minimum manpower to drive the Viper. His first priority is to sink the Brig on the opposite side. The sooner the better!"

"Yes!"

   "Mr. Drake!" Catalina, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said again before the sailor set out to send the order.

   Lorraine looked over curiously: "Do you have any suggestions for Ms. Debo?"

"Yes!"

   Catalina’s suggestion is refreshing. She actually proposed to be a Brig without sinking, and at the same time relax the chase of the Viper, giving Amy Filard the opportunity to take the ship...

   Lorraine’s eyes brightened as he listened: "You mean..."

"From the Black Mamba's point of view, the Golden Deer is invaluable. He is reluctant to sink the Golden Deer. Moreover, getting the ship can stop your shelling and save the opposite Brig. So even if it is taking some risks. , Philard also has a high-sounding reason to convince the sailors."

"From your point of view..." Catalina stared at Lorraine with beautiful eyes, "You must admit that your ship can't catch up with the Viper, and there is no suitable means for Brigantine who is about to enter the battle. "

"For the same reason, you cannot escape. Whether it is the flexibility of the ship or the familiarity with the sea, you are at an absolute disadvantage. Once a chasing situation is formed, the heavy bow of the Viper will let you And your crew to pay a terrible price."

   "Your only chance to win is to catch the boat. Since you can't catch him, why don't you try to let him take the initiative to catch you?"

   Catalina raised her hand and pointed to the Brig boat that was trapped in the mist.

   "You have two hours, you also have ready-made bait, and you have a lot of chips. The only question is, are you willing to put these cruel pirates on the deck of the Golden Deer?"

"I hate trouble, but you gave me a troublesome idea that I can't refuse..." Lorraine suddenly drew out the knife and cut off the rope from Catalina with a hook. "Noya, take Ms. Debo's dagger Give it back to her, and help her borrow a stabbing sword. When the deck is in chaos, no one can guarantee absolute safety."

  ……

   The Golden Deer began a concealed adjustment.

   The first step of the adjustment is self-damage. At Lorraine’s request, Yacharin chose a shell for the port side and blasted from the inside when the Viper fired, exploding a rather bleak hole.

   Thick smoke billowed inside the mouth, and the artillery on both sides tilted and overturned, as if a strong shot. The sailors were injured and killed, and the gun door was misfired.

  The Snake Catching Operation started.

Through the hatch that connects the gun bay with the stern bay, half of the gunners were drawn out, a total of 60 people, including the entire musket team, and 20 brave sailors with good fighting skills. They were led by Wang Ye, Noya and Temporary. Catalina, the two-sword female knight of the Golden Deer.

   But the firepower of the Golden Deer has not been significantly weakened.

   The gunner on the main deck was transferred to the gun bay. Only 20 people who were in charge of maneuvering the ship were left on the deck.

Each artillery squad is responsible for three artillery. The ten artillery doors of the Brig-type are fully opened, and half of the port and aft cannons continue to fire. As a result, the fire density of the Golden Deer drops sharply, and the hit rate also drops. To the heinous point.

Ten minutes after four rounds of shelling, only one shot hit the Brig, ignited the stern, and the shells directed towards the Viper scattered aimlessly, and could no longer drive away the Viper~lightnovelpub.net~The Viper Grasping the gap of the shelling and approaching, a shotgun was sent to the main deck of the Golden Deer, wounding two sailors, and howling loudly.

   Lorraine felt that this attempt should make Amy Ferrard determined...

   Another twenty minutes, two turns, Pierce shouted loudly from the tip of the mast: "Bug-type rush! No change of direction! Ready to take the ship!"

   "Fix it!" Lorraine jumped to the vicinity of the mainmast a few steps, firmly grasping the cable on the ground, "Lock the steering wheel, lower the sail, and prepare for battle!"

   Boom!

   The hull shook violently, and the Viper went up from behind the Golden Deer, hitting the port side of the Golden Deer with its own sideboard. Debris and debris flew all around, and the two big ships were rubbing against each other.

   The dirty pirates gathered on the deck of the Viper, headed by the third mate Lorraine had seen in the town of Bahiba.

   Under his command, the hooks were thrown out and hooked on the deck and gunwale of the Golden Deer.

  The sailors of the Golden Deer gave up sailing, and gathered behind Lorraine one by one, sparsely, holding swords in their hands, waiting to fight.

   The two big boats began to drift apart and were pushed by the sea waves. They only drifted more than one meter away before being caught by those dozens of hooks.

   The thick ship plank was erected, and a dozen pirates dragged the cable from the tall sail, screaming, and swung across the gap.

   ten people, twenty people, until seven or eighty people...

The third mate of the Viper boarded the Golden Deer, glanced at Lorraine and the number of sailors behind him who were less than twenty, and laughed grinningly: "Meeting again, Mr. Bahiba town captain, I don’t know your Isabey. Is Miss Ra okay?"

   "You will see her soon." Lorraine licked his lips and held up the long knife. "Muscles, kill!"
