"Yes. Captain." The sentinel felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Then the captain immediately slid down the lookout post.

The captain had just stood firm on the deck.The first officer immediately came over nervously and asked.

"Captain, how is it? What's the situation?" At this time.the first officer asked eagerly.

"Calm down." The captain said at this time.

"This way." The captain pulled the first mate and said.

"Behind us, there is a ship. We are not yet sure whether it is a pirate ship. We need to make a judgment. First, we judge that they come towards us from time to time. After we see them clearly, we can judge that one is almost the same. Of course , we still have to take some specific actions." The captain said his plan at this time.

"However, the pirate ship is more likely. Because I don't believe it. There will be ships following up in this sea area. And we think the same." The captain said at this time.

And the first officer had a puzzled expression.

"I have a compass on my ship. I don't know about other ships." The captain said at this time.

"We want to rule out that view," said the captain.

In fact, the compass was already used in navigation during this period.The compass produced by Qin State is very popular among these ships.This is the credit of Qin's popularization.In addition, there is another method, that is.Use a magnet to rub some steel needles with magnetism, and then pass some light floating objects on the water surface to identify the direction.This method is still used in navigation.The main reason is that some captains are reluctant to spend money to invest in a decent compass produced by Qin State.

"In this sea area, very few ships keep up. And sailing." This time.said the captain.

"Of course. We are not afraid of them. We are warships. They are only merchant ships. If they keep up. We have a great advantage." At this time the captain said.

The first officer listened to the captain's words.

"Now we have to see their actions." The captain said at this time.Speaking of which, the captain began to pick up the binoculars to check the situation in the distance.

"They're approaching us. Captain," said the mate at this time.

"En." The captain looked at the approaching ships in the distance with a binoculars.

"Now we have to turn, if they follow us. Then they are pirate ships. We have to be ready to fight." The captain said at this time.

"Yes. Captain." This time.said the first mate.

"Full starboard rudder." The captain shouted loudly at this time.

The ship then spins.And on the pirate ships that kept approaching.The pirates followed closely at this time and took corresponding measures.

"They stopped. It seems that there is something wrong with their mainsail." The pirate captain said at this time.

"Now, we need to keep up with them. They can't save themselves. At this time, there is something wrong with the mainsail." The pirate captain said holding the binoculars in his hand.

"Follow them. Hurry up. We're going to take down that big ship." The pirate captain said loudly.

"Chasing." The captain shouted loudly.The pirate captain thought at first that it would take a long time for his ships to catch up with each other.Because their ships lag behind each other by a long distance.Even a few times, almost lost each other.If he hadn't been lucky enough to judge the opponent's route, the pirate ship would have been unable to catch up.

South Korea is a warship, although its weight is heavy.But he didn't pack much.And not like those merchant ships.when they design and build.The only consideration is how to carry more cargo. In order to carry more cargo, they have to sacrifice the speed of the ship.

Most of the pirate ships were transformed from merchant ships, and they only reduced some cargo spaces on the basis of merchant ships.At the same time, they added some weapons, but most of these weapons are light weapons, mainly muskets. Cannons are not visible on pirate ships at this time. It can be said that the firepower of pirate ships at this time is still relatively weak .

After sailing for a while.The first mate finally saw the opponent's intention clearly.

"Captain, they are indeed sailing towards us." At this time.said the first mate.

"Very good." The captain of the warship nodded at this time.

"We didn't go looking for them, and now they just came looking for us. Very good." The captain said at this time.

"Now, let's prepare to fight." The captain said at this time.

"However, don't leak those cannons to me." The captain said at this time.

"Yes, captain." The first mate said at this time.

"We should find a way to let them approach us." The captain said to himself at this time.

"Very well, we will get a big ship soon." The pirate captain shouted happily.

He thought he would get a big and fast ship, faster than any previous ship.

"Ding, ding, ding." A bell rang on the warship.This is not telling the soldiers to retreat, but telling the sailors to enter combat mode.

On ships, bells are more useful than war drums.The sound of war drums is too dull, it is easily covered by waves in the open sea, and it is difficult for sailors to distinguish

But the bell is different.The sharp bell can pierce the sound of the waves of the sea and accurately reach the sailor's ears.

"Load the shells. Come on." The gunners nervously reloaded their shells on the emplacements.

"Don't open the gun door. It's not time yet." At this time, an older gunner yelled loudly.A new gunner subconsciously moved the gun port.

on deck.The captain thought of a good way.

"Order all our sails to come down." This time.Said the captain loudly.

"Ah." The sailor couldn't understand at this moment.

"Go and execute it." The captain shouted loudly.

"Listen, everyone, don't resist. We're going to fake surrender this time. Everyone hide their weapons. We're going to launch an attack after the first round of shelling. Get ready, everyone." The captain said loudly at this time shouted to all sailors.

And all the sailors quickly hid the weapons in their hands.They had to wait for the moment to fire the gun.They want to give each other a hard lesson.Now is the best time to wait.

1171 Bombarding Pirate Ships

"Follow my orders for a while. Then open the gun door and launch an attack." The captain of the Korean warship ordered.

"Yes. Captain." A gunner obeyed the captain's order.At this time, the pirate ship was slowly approaching the warship.

The gunner quickly entered his post.The sailors on deck hid their weapons.They were all dressed in civilian clothes, some shirtless.They look no different from ordinary sailors.

"This big ship can really run." The pirate captain shouted loudly at this time.

"Tell them to surrender directly to me. If they don't surrender, just rush over to me. Hit them." The pirate captain ordered loudly at this time.

The sailors on the disguised Korean merchant ship looked at the approaching pirate ship from a distance, and they could clearly see the faces of the pirates on the pirate ship.at this time.It's not too far away.

"Hey, listen to me." At this time.The pirate ship on the opposite side roared loudly.

"Surrender to me directly. Otherwise, we will go up and kill everyone." At this time, the pirates on the pirate ship shouted at the warship in disorder.

"Surrender. Otherwise we will kill you all and feed the fish. Hurry up." The pirates shouted loudly.

"Damn. These pirates are so arrogant." This time.The Korean sailors on the warship rushed to feel indignant.They thought it was the pirates who were looking down on them.They want to teach these arrogant pirates a lesson.After all, they passed camouflaged warships.
