"Yes, Captain," replied the mate.

"Go and have a look." The captain asked the first mate to lead the way.

A whitish and swollen corpse was salvaged, its face could no longer be seen, and the exposed skin was abnormally whitish, which was the result of prolonged soaking.

"Captain, the clothes are wrong. Most of the corpses we salvaged were wearing our clothes, but this one, this one is wrong. The clothes he was wearing were civilian clothes. Not military uniforms. The underwear inside was also No." The first officer reported after a detailed inspection.

"En." The captain nodded.

"What's wrong?" the captain asked at this time.

"Also. Toes," said the mate.

"Among the previous corpses we salvaged, one was wearing a military boot. All of us are issued military boots. The military boots are designed with a narrow edge. If we wear them for a long time, the little finger will be bound up. But this corpse, not like that, is spread out. Like our sailors, but our sailors also have boat boots or shoes. Only those civilians, especially those who have been on deck for a long time, do this. " said the first mate.

"En." The captain nodded.

Under normal circumstances, Chu's navy was issued with standard military boots, and those sailors who were used to being barefoot were also forced to wear military boots, and they would take off their military boots only in rare cases.The reason is very simple, the army is a place that pays attention to military discipline.Although standard military boots are a trivial matter, small matters can reflect the sign of strict military discipline.And that's exactly what happened.The difference between being a soldier and ordinary civilians.

Pirates are different. Most pirates come from civilian armed forces. They have received very little formal military training, and some have almost no military discipline.Coupled with the long life at sea, they are already used to being lazy.Therefore, they seldom wear military boots. Only the captain and the leader will be so particular about it, because they think that this is the difference between them and the general men.

The other pirates are more barefoot, and they think that only in this way can they become more flexible, because they are used to barefoot.Wearing military boots will only allow them to adapt for a longer period of time, which is a very adaptable thing for them.

"What do you want to explain?" the captain asked at this time.

"What I want to explain is that this corpse is very likely to belong to a pirate." The first mate looked at the captain and said.

"They don't have uniforms?" said the captain.

"Pirates don't have military uniforms. The captain, and the pirates are free and unrestrained. They can't have standard military uniforms. It's because of this that many merchant ships have encountered unprecedented attacks." The first mate said.

"Yes." The captain nodded.

"However, our ship, even a troop carrier like ours, is armed with two cannons. How could they attack us? Are these pirates crazy?" the captain asked incomprehensibly.

"Captain, there are many ships launched from the Qin State Shipyard, and the ships launched recently have cannons on them. And the number of cannons is only a lot." said the first officer.

"Some armed merchant ships are equipped with only two cannons, but some ships are equipped with more than a dozen cannons. And those pirate ships are also equipped with as many cannons as possible. They increase their sails and sail very fast. The firepower is also much stronger. They are no less than our small warships." The first officer said worriedly.

"En." The captain frowned at this moment.He also understood this point, but he didn't pay attention to thinking that he would encounter such a thing.

"You mean, we are very likely to encounter a pirate ship that is much more powerful than us?" the captain asked worriedly.

"Yes. Captain." The first officer nodded at this time.

"Huh." The captain let out a heavy breath ♀ This news is not good news for him☆ What's worse is that they are very likely to run into each other, so they must be more vigilant.

"Ga..." The captain decided to step up his vigilance.to prevent this from happening.

"There is a ship ahead." At this moment, the sentinel shouted loudly.The sentry's shout interrupted the captain's order.

Hear such warning signs.The first officer looked at the captain in surprise.He had just explained the possibility of pirates. Could it be that the pirate-like surprise appeared on the captain's face all of a sudden?

"It doesn't seem to be." The captain picked up the binoculars to check the situation at this time.

"This ship doesn't have any sails. It doesn't have any people," said the captain, watching the situation through binoculars.

"En." said the first mate.

"But why is it black?" the first officer said at this time.

And the captain shook his head.

"Order the gunners to get ready. Let's go and see the situation." The captain looked at the black ship and ordered.

"Gunner ready, we are going to get close to that ship." The first mate conveyed the captain's order.

The troop carrier began to approach by this time.On the deck, a team of soldiers are fully armed, and they are ready to deal with possible emergencies at any time.The gunner looked nervously at the approaching "black ship."

The supply ship behind them followed closely at this time, and the gunners on top of them also looked nervously at the strange ship, beautiful and powerful, with a mast erected there so strangely, this strange It made the soldiers feel very frightened, and the fear made their arms stiffen.

"Captain, shall we fire a cannonball?" The first mate asked seeing that there was no one on the black ship.

"No. Don't move." The captain whispered at this time.The captain was also looking at that ship, and the performance of this ship made him feel very scary and elusive.

"If there are people above, let's fire a shot. Maybe we can see something." The first officer suggested at this time.

The captain was also looking at the strange ship.The whole body of the ship is black, which is blackened by the fire.Only the parts near the water still have the original color of the ship's wood.

"Try firing a cannon." The captain ordered at this time.The captain also thought it would be better to fire a shot like this.

"Fire." The first officer shouted loudly at this time.

"One shot. Let it go." A gunner shouted loudly.

"Bang." A long tongue of flame was quickly ejected from the muzzle.A shell roared out.

"Clah la la la." The shell directly hit the hull, and a big hole was punched out of the already burnt wood.

"Are we still fighting?" the first mate who was observing the situation then asked.

"Wait and see." The captain took his binoculars to check the situation at the breach.

"Boom. Crash." The captain saw a black charcoal object fall into the sea.

"What is that?" asked the captain.

"I don't know." The first officer shook his head and said.

"It seems that something is burnt." The first officer said, looking at the black thing that fell into the sea.

"Captain, it seems to be a charred human body." An old sailor behind said at this time.

"What?" The captain looked back at the old sailor in surprise at this time and said.

"When a person is burnt, it looks like that. It looks like it was burned to death. I think there are still some human figures in that thing, so let's talk about it like this." The old sailor said at this time.

After the captain and first mate heard it.You look at me, I look at you, and then they all picked up binoculars to check the situation.

"It seems to be." The captain said, looking again at the black object that fell into the water.

"It seems that there is no one on board. Otherwise, with such a heavy bombardment, someone should come out to check the situation. 〖For help. A few people go up to check the situation♀What happened to the ship?" The captain continued to order.

"In this case, we must figure it out. It is very possible that this is still our own ship." The captain continued. --8425+562016-->

ziyouge "What kind of ship is this? It's all black," said a soldier of the Chu Army Navy standing on the black ship cautiously.
