"I'll send someone there immediately." Finished.Ying Yu left Meng Tian's house.

"Oh!" Meng Tian shook his head and sighed at this moment.There is really no way for such a pair of lovers.Two people are always on and off, noisy, if they don't toss people like this, it seems that neither of them think it's too natural.

on the southern seas.An armed ship sails on the sea.

"Boss, we haven't seen any merchant ships for several days. Where are those merchant ships?" a pirate soldier asked the captain loudly.

"Keep your voice down, you want to shock me to death." The pirate captain kicked at this time and cursed.

"Damn the small ones, damn the small ones." Xiao Bing smiled obsequiously.

"Who knows. None of the cannons are equipped. I haven't had any big business recently, but I've robbed some fishing boats. I've been eating broken fish for a few days. I'm sick of it." The pirate captain complained.

"Yes, yes." Xiaobing said flatteringly at this time.

"What is it?" The pirate captain kicked again.

"Keep your eyes open and take a good look around. Is there any big business?" The pirate captain shouted loudly at this time.

"Yes." At this moment, Xiao Bing picked up a binoculars and began to check.

The captain saw Xiaobing go to check the situation.Then lie leisurely on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze and eyesight.

"Captain, boat, boat." The soldier screamed loudly at this time.

"What?" The captain yelled loudly at this time, and quickly jumped up from the deck and yelled.

"Where is it?" the captain shouted loudly at this time.

"That!" Xiaobing shouted loudly.

Speaking of this, the captain raised his binoculars to look at the merchant ship in the distance.

"It's a ship." The pirate captain called at this time.

"Let's go up immediately. Use my cannon to let them know how powerful it is." The pirate captain shouted loudly.

"Come on." Xiaobing shouted loudly at this time.

The soldiers on the deck started to get busy, they immediately turned around and rushed towards the merchant ship.

The merchant ship in the distance also noticed the arrival of the other party at this time.

"There is a ship in the direction of our seven o'clock." The sailor on the lookout post shouted loudly.

The captain of the merchant ship immediately picked up the binoculars to check the situation.

Because the two sides are far away.They couldn't see the specific situation of the opponent's ship, they only saw the white sails, but they didn't see whether the captain had cannons, or other conditions.

"Will they come at us?" the first officer asked with a binoculars to check the situation.

"Well, it's possible." The captain of the merchant ship nodded at this time.

"No matter what? We must keep a distance. Such a short distance is too cruel for us." The captain of the merchant ship said at this time.

"If they are pirates, then we may suffer serious losses. In such a situation, it is best for us to try our best to avoid it." The merchant captain said, looking at the ships in the distance.

"Captain, we have cannons." The first officer said at this time.

"Cannon?" the captain said while looking at the other party.

"We have cannons. Doesn't the other party have them?" the captain of the merchant ship said at this time.

"Recently, I met an old captain. The old captain said that the current sea is more dangerous than a storm. No one knows, that ship is a pirate. Once they approach, they will bombard you with cannons." ’” said the captain of the merchant ship at this time.

"We have cannons, and they also have cannons. Moreover, the number and caliber of their cannons are larger than ours." The merchant captain said at this time.

"We are merchant ships and need to load cargo. This nature does not allow us to equip more artillery, or artillery with larger calibers." The captain of the merchant ship said at this time.

"However, the other party is making a living from us. As long as they beat us, they can survive. This is very unfair to us." The merchant captain said.

"So, we need to avoid them. After all, we are not warships dedicated to war." The merchant captain said rationally.

"Yes. Captain." The first officer nodded at this time.Then the merchant ship also began to speed up to avoid each other.

However, merchant ships are merchant ships after all, they need to carry a lot of cargo, and the nature of merchant ships does not allow them to have a fast speed.But the Corsair is different.Although their ships have also been refitted, and most of them are civilian ships converted into warships, they are all relatively light.The number of sails is large, and they are arranged in a multi-mast and multi-row manner. In this way, their ships are much faster than ordinary ships. At the same time, their ships do not need to carry more cargo, and the space is very rich. These affluent spaces are loaded with more powerful large-caliber artillery.

After some time has passed.The lookout post on the merchant ship noticed that the situation was not good.

"Not good. That ship is approaching us." The lookout post shouted loudly.

At this time, the captain of the merchant ship picked up his binoculars to check the situation.

"Damn it." The captain of the merchant ship realized something at this time.

"It's probably a pirate ship." The captain said calmly.

"What?" asked the first officer in surprise.

"I saw that they have a lot of sails. Only warships can be arranged like this. They are very fast. They don't load more cargo at all. The most terrible thing is that they must have a lot of cannons on board." The captain said .

"What shall we do?" said the first mate at this moment.

"Avoid them as much as possible. We need to find a safe haven," said the captain.

On the pirate ship, the soldier shouted loudly.

"Boss, we're about to catch up with them." The soldier shouted loudly.

"Shut up." At this moment, the pirate captain could already see the situation of the merchant ship clearly through the binoculars.

"This is an armed merchant ship. It seems to have two cannons. The caliber is probably not too large." The pirate captain said looking at the other party's situation.

"Shall we fire?" asked the soldier.

"Go. Get the hell out of here." The pirate captain cursed.

"Fire what?" said the pirate captain.

"Only when we are parallel to them can we use the side cannons to shoot. Otherwise, it's nothing." The pirate captain said at this time.

With a large number of ships equipped with artillery.Tactics also began to change rapidly.The previous tactics were intensive shooting with muskets and gang-jumping tactics.But with the equipment of the artillery.Tactics are also beginning to evolve.For example, they began to use artillery, and at this time the artillery was mounted on the side.The artillery on the side requires the two ships to be parallel in order to fire.The shooting distance is as close as possible, because long-distance shooting cannot guarantee accuracy.

Few ships consider the accuracy of the artillery. They consider the cost more. Cheap smoothbore guns are their first choice. This kind of artillery is very easy to operate.And the price is right, most ships are equipped with such artillery.Therefore, their artillery needs to be fired at a certain distance to improve accuracy.Not only that, if one party has a numerical advantage, it is easy to gain an absolute advantage and defeat the other party. --8425+516129-->
