"You take the helm." With that, the captain handed over the rudder to a sailor beside him.Then he took out the binoculars to check the situation.
"Don't let them get close. Let's go west. There is one of our strongholds there. We need to dock quickly." At this time.The captain urgently issued an order.
"Quicker. Quicker. Faster with paddles." This time.The captain shouted back to everyone loudly.He is very clear.The other party leaned over.It can only show that it is a pirate ship.Because, there is no reason for no ship will take the initiative to approach.
"Hurry up." The captain shouted loudly.Instruct his men to complete these tasks as soon as possible.
"Quick. Quick." His men finished their work quickly at this time.
The sailors stretched their sails nervously.At the same time some people took up the oars and began to slide.Although it doesn't get much kinetic energy.But they want to be able to paddle their boats fast.
But their ships are simply too heavy.There is too much stuff on the ship.Most of them were slaves.They are all captured Yue slaves.They will be trafficked to the south of Qin State.

"Are we firing?" the first officer asked at this time.
"No. Wait and see." This time.Said the captain of the Chu State Navy.
"We have to wait." The captain said at this time.
"We're going to get closer," said the captain at this time.
"This distance. We can only damage the ships. We can't capture them. This is our first goal on the ocean. It's been seven days. We haven't achieved anything." The captain said anxiously.In an eager mood, he needs military exploits to complete his credit.
A heavy merchant ship is simply not the power of a purpose-built armed warship.
"That ship is going too fast." The man on the mast shouted loudly.

"Boom." There was a loud voice.fell into the ocean.The shells fell into the sea.Splashed sea pillars.
"Damn. They have cannon." This time.The merchant ship shouted loudly.
"Quick retreat." At this time.said the captain loudly.
"Damn it. You missed it." At this time.Said the captain of the warship.
"Sorry." The first officer said at this time.
"Captain. Look over there." This time.The first officer pointed to the coastline not far away and said.
"They're going over there." At this time.said the first mate.
"Leave them alone. We'll just hit them. Reload." This time.said the captain loudly.
And this time.The first mate picked up the binoculars.Saw what he wanted to see.
"There are fortifications on the coastline, and there seem to be people there." The first officer said at this time.
"That should be one of their strongholds." The first officer looked at it and said with certainty.

"Captain, look at the shore over there, there are fortifications over there." The first officer put down the binoculars and pointed in the direction of the shore.
"What?" At this time.Only then did the captain notice the situation on the shore.
"There is actually a watchtower over there." At this time.Said the captain at this time.
"Immediately order our people to catch up with that ship and stop him quickly." At this time, the captain ordered loudly.
"Quick. Catch them. Make them stop. Shoot their sails with cannon." This time.The first officer delivered the order quickly.
"Hurry up. Load the shells." The gunner below shouted loudly.They quickly loaded the shells.
On the other side, merchant captains eagerly urged their crews to speed up.
"We must speed up," said the captain anxiously.
"Boom." Just when the captain was extremely anxious.A cannon shot came.
"Clatter." The shell flew directly over.All that flew were shotguns.The shot hit the sail directly.The opened sail was smashed to pieces.The purpose of Chu's navy is to smash the opponent's sails with shotguns.Keep the opponent from moving forward at full speed.
"Hit the opponent." A gunner shouted loudly.
"Load solid shells." A gunner shouted loudly.
"Reloading solid shells." A gunner shouted loudly at this time.
"Clang." There was a sound.The shell slid into the barrel.The water army of Chu State is making full use of a cannon to shoot at the opponent.
On the merchant ship, the crew was in disarray.
"Our sails are gone," cried the crew, looking at the battered sails.
"They are getting closer and closer to us." This time.A crew member yelled loudly.
"Hurry up and row the boat." A veteran sailor said loudly.
"This boat is so heavy. How can we row it?" the crew complained.
"We'll all have to fight those pirates if we can't row," cried the sailor.
"Pull," cried the sailor.
