In addition to the range advantage, Mogansha is not fighting alone, and there is a guy like Reef in front of him as a human shelter, so Fang Sheyan's purpose is very simple, that is to compete with the opposite Contractor's ultra-long-range attack ability !
"The outcome of the battle should be determined before it starts, otherwise, don't start the war."
I don't know why, but such a sentence popped up in Sheyan's mind.
In fact, for Sheyan, this battle was indeed invincible before it even started. Even if something unexpected happens, even if the opponent has an advantage in long-range combat, the Sam can speed up in an instant and throw them off very simply!
Soon, the two sides gradually began to enter the effective range of 800 meters, because at this time, both sides in the naval battle will be violently bumped on the sea, so if they only rely on one or two bow guns/stern guns to attack , The hit rate is completely resigned to fate, and it is quite good to reach 2%~3%.
Under normal circumstances, if you want to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, you have to turn the hull sideways and use multiple cannons on the hull to fire together to make up for the low hit rate with quantity. This is almost impossible in a chase where the two sides have similar speeds and are sailing at high speed at the same time.
As the distance between the two sides approached, Sheyan suddenly whispered a few words to Mo Gansha, who first showed a look of astonishment, then suddenly realized, and nodded with a sinister smile.
In the following ultra-long-range shooting, those contractors have not realized Sheyan's sinister intentions! All the contractors with long-range attack capabilities are firing their guns one after another, while Mogansha is firing in bursts very calmly. The strange thing is that after about ten seconds of shooting, the reef shield in front of them rang a few times, but the contractors who fired on the opposite side didn't look like they were shot.
When the contractors on the opposite side were laughing loudly at Mogansha's poor marksmanship, they suddenly heard a few screams from behind. It turned out that Mogansha's shots were aimed at the sailors on their ship! Fang Senyan's thoughtfulness can be seen. Obviously, under the protection of the contractor's 40% rule and the near-death state, it is unrealistic to kill the contractor across the vast sea. It is difficult to kill the opponent in such a confrontation Break out the key and get substantial benefits.
It's just that for those contractors who catch up, it should be impossible for them all to master the skills of sailing on the ship. Therefore, after leaving the pirates driving the boat, they can say that if they want to sail freely on the sea, they may be greatly affected.
That's why Fang Senyan asked Mo Gansha to kill those plot pirates who could be killed first! You must know that hiring pirates is also a very costly and energy-consuming thing, and this continuous consumption of their manpower is tantamount to depriving them of money and energy. The weaker the opponent's power is, the more difficult it is to compete with Sheyan and the others, and the less likely Sheyan and the others will be hindered by external forces when they complete the task.
After Mogansha killed six or seven pirates sailing on the mast on the opposite side in a row, almost no one was on the mast of the two ships behind. The pirates who rocked their ships.
But it's a pity: how could Sheyan not think that they would do this
Fang Senyan had already ordered most of the sails to be fixed and avoided, and he, who is not afraid of sailing, would control the main sail himself. In this case, although the speed of the ship would be affected due to the low efficiency, both parties were fair. Ships also dare not be sailed by skilled pirates anymore, and the number of sailers has naturally dropped significantly.
What's more, after the renovation, the original gun positions on the Sam were cancelled, and now 20 oarsman positions have been added! Therefore, at this time, in terms of motivation, the gap between the two sides is even greater. If Sheyan wants to get rid of them at this time, it will be a matter of seconds.
Seeing that they fell into the opponent's conspiracy trap again, the contractors in the rear were even more furious, and began to attack Fang Sheyan's ship frantically. One guy even raised a "stinger" missile at all costs. Shoulder-mounted launcher, aimed at Fang Senyan and they shot over!
Amidst the loud noise, thick smoke billowed from the Sam, and a hole two or three meters wide was blown out of the stern of the ship. Fortunately, the standard durability of Tier III ships is as high as 30,000 or more, and they are not so easy to be sunk. At this moment, Fang Senyan ordered to speed up the sailing, and when he was out of the opponent's attack range, then Spike, the carpenter who went out to sea with the boat, would naturally be the one to do it.
This guy is also well-deserved of his reputation. With the help of enough people, he rattled and smashed randomly, and only took about ten minutes to restore the hull. Then Sheyan immediately ordered a detour, and shot back from the side.
The contractors on the other side seemed to be very unfamiliar with naval warfare, they didn't even configure the lookout post, they just stared at the front stupidly, not preventing Fang Sheyan and his ship from speeding up and sailing over from the right, so the black buddies were silent It was only discovered after killing the three sailors on the opposite side in a hurry!
By the time the contractor on the opposite side roared and wanted to fight back, the Sam had already left quickly by virtue of its speed advantage. Just like this, the tug-of-war was delayed until it was dark, and the pirates under the contractor on the opposite side had suffered heavy casualties, and no one was willing to go up to the mast to control the mast. That means they give up mobility altogether!
After so many tug-of-wars, some people immediately felt that something was wrong, and one of the Tier III ships fled early upon seeing this. After discussing with the contractors of the remaining ship, they defended with all their strength, and erected a gunfire guard on the edge of the ship's gunwale, but it was lying alone on the sea like a dead fish, which was extremely frightening. feel bleak. If they hadn't had evil intentions in chasing Sheyan in an attempt to rob him, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
Sheyan didn't know how to behave like a woman at this time, so he let the black buddies slowly cut the flesh with blunt knives, killing the pirates on the ship until they dared to show their heads, and then aimed at the mainmast of the ship and opened fire. There was only one sniper on the ship that was left behind on the opposite side, and it was estimated that his abilities in all aspects were still quite low. After firing a shot, the interval between shots was as long as nearly a minute.
Because of the protection of the reef and Fang Senyan in turn, it does not pose any threat to Mogansha at all! At the back, the sniper himself stopped and didn't bother to attack—a sniper bullet also cost a lot of utility points to buy, and it was expensive.
After the attack lasted for half an hour, the three masts of the Tier III ship on the opposite side were all broken one by one, and collapsed abruptly. There were also splashing waves in the sea water, and the black buddies also beat them up. Bullets worth thousands of utility points went out, and the ship suffered such heavy damage. Even Spike, the professional carpenter on Fang Senyan's ship, said that it would take at least two or three days to repair it, not to mention that the ships of those contractors probably didn't have such members at all
Therefore, after these contractors who lost their masts slowly sail back to Tetuga, at least 48 precious hours will be delayed, and the loss of at least a dozen pirates will be counted, which is at least 10,000 gold pounds. For them, the estimated actual value of the 10,000 gold pounds is only a lot more than the 10,000 common points.
This is also a painful lesson Sheyan taught them, telling them not to mess with people who shouldn't be messed with! For Fang Sheyan, the most difficult stage is yet to come. At this time, only by beating these contractors until they are afraid, will they not dare to hold back their hind legs in the future! Of course, if these contractors still want to mess with themselves in the future, they will directly kill people and explode the keys.
For the next voyage, Sheyan was required to travel at full speed, and the remodeled brand new "Sam" was equipped with first-class sailors, and the speed was indeed at least 30% higher than when he first entered Tetuga. Therefore, although the distance between Port Royal and Tetuga is more than thousands of nautical miles, it is not close, but after two days and two nights of flying with the wind, it has come to a place only 20 to 30 nautical miles away from Port Royal.
Of course, as a serving warship of the former Royal Fleet, it is absolutely impossible for the Sam to enter Port Royal swaggeringly. Fortunately, Port Royal was the shipping hub of "Quanzhou" and "Guangzhou" when the United Kingdom was similar to the Song Dynasty in China, so there must be smuggling ports and wharves nearby. Sheyan left behind some murderous/famous/most important pirates who were easily identifiable on board the guarding ship. They landed at the smuggling port ahead of time with Mr. Gibbs and other seven or eight men who were familiar with the terrain. , and then take a carriage to Port Royal.
…
Compared with Tetuga, Port Royal is much more beautiful and elegant, with white sandy beaches, green coconut trees and palm trees, layered buildings, clean exterior walls, tall and strong forts and forts, all It fully interprets discipline and majesty. In addition, there will be patrolling sailors from time to time.
These guys are all dressed in honor guard attire, the most eye-catching thing is their white and red military uniforms, especially the white wigs and red coats are particularly eye-catching, the bayonets are bright, and the stockings with thin legs even look a little inclined from today's perspective Feminine thick-heeled leather boots, walking proudly with a rooster-like stride, are very impressive.
It is estimated that if Fang Sheyan brought Philip and the others here and saw his former colleagues, he must have felt a strong sadness in his heart.
