Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 2520 Encountering a Pirate Ship

Jin Lan was lying on the bed in the cabin like this, Liu Ya really didn't want to ask more questions, so she just closed the cabin door and let him go.

Occasionally, Liu Ya would talk about this matter with Cang Qianche.

Cang Qianche smiled enigmatically, and said, "When a boy grows up, he always has different thoughts. It's lonely on a boat at sea, and it's understandable to do something alone."

Seeing Cang Qianche's flickering eyes, Liu Ya knew what he was talking about.

But Liu Ya doesn't think Jin Lan is the kind of person with strong desires.If it is said that he is practicing Liu Yaxin with the door closed, or that he is masturbating alone in the cabin... Liu Ya can't believe it.

Then another day passed, and such a quiet day came to an end suddenly.

The captain rushed over and told Cang Qianche that there was a sudden change in the climate, and it was estimated that there would be a storm within two hours.

When they went to sea, they had foreseen various situations and made preparations.The selections were all experienced sailors and crew members in the navy, so the wind and waves were not to be feared.

But the captain said that the storm was really strange, and it was not a common storm at sea.It's a bit like a cumulonimbus cloud in a certain sea area.

Liu Ya didn't know what a "cumulonimbus cloud" was, so she asked in detail.

From the captain's explanation, I know that this is like a climate phenomenon unique to a special sea area.

For example, in the Bermuda Triangle, all electronic equipment will fail inexplicably when they arrive here, and ships and planes will also lose their direction and cause a lot of accidents.And once it disappears, it becomes a mystery directly.

Another example is that at a certain latitude and longitude, there is a special plate that is unstable and has frequent earthquakes, which also causes continuous and irregular tsunamis in this sea area.

These are all unexpected situations when sailing, and they are also the most difficult to rule out dangers.

So what the captain meant was to ask if it was possible to change the sailing route and bypass this section where accidents may occur.

Otherwise, in a strong storm, the ship will lose its direction and sail into an unknown and complicated sea area.It will be difficult to get out at that time.

Liu Ya has no objection.Cang Qianche also said that safety is the top priority, because they are not in such a hurry that they have to take risks.

The captain ordered the sailors to change the course, and opened the chart to see what route was needed to correct the course as soon as possible, so as not to delay the subsequent itinerary.

However, things are not as simple as they imagined.Experienced captains can only foresee storms, but cannot predict in advance that pirates will appear at this time.

Just when their ship had begun to change course, a ship suddenly sailed in the direction of the previous storm.

The ship was black in color, as if it had suddenly emerged from the dark clouds of the storm, and quickly sailed in a direction not far from them.

Moreover, a cannon was set up on the opponent's ship, and the muzzle was facing the side of Liu Ya's big ship.

If Liu Ya and the others didn't turn around and change the course, they could still face the pirate ship head-on with their huge and strong hull.

Corsairs are relatively light, but highly maneuverable.If they didn't have the advantage in a frontal attack, they seized the opportunity to wait for Liu Ya's ship to turn around.

Now that the big ship has turned halfway, the side of the ship is exposed within the range of the pirate ship, and it is too late to turn around and come back to meet it.

If the ship's side was hit by artillery, even if it didn't sink immediately, it would definitely not be able to support them to return.

"Master, what do you think?" The captain didn't expect the pirate ship to have artillery, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Cang Qianche frowned, and said, "Are there often pirates in this sea area?"

"This..." The captain hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master, we used to be a big ship of the navy, and we went to sea with a few warships. How can pirates dare to rob a navy ship?"

Cang Qianche understood, it turned out that these pirates took their ship as a merchant ship, so they came here to fish for money.

Originally, Cang Qianche didn't use the large naval ships to deceive others.I didn't expect that there would be pirates to worry about it.

Liu Ya asked, "Then there are no artillery on our ship?"

"No. The main ship of the Navy has only one door." The captain shook his head with a helpless expression.

They are not afraid of pirates, but they are very afraid that the ship will sink.

Liu Ya thought for a while, then said: "Sign up, let them board the ship. We don't have any important cargo, let them see it and maybe leave."

The current situation does not allow for stubbornness and arrogance, and being able to keep the ship is the most important thing.

What's more, the pirates are just looking for money, and the big deal is to give them some silver.

The captain immediately went to give an order to let the sailors play the semaphore.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, instead of replying, the other party started to reload the artillery again.

Now the captain is a little hairy, why are these pirates so exterminated?But if this is a bombardment, what good will the other party gain?
Liu Ya also felt that something was wrong, so she said: "What defensive measures are there on the ship? Or powerful offensive weapons are fine. Since it can't be kind, then let's be ruthless, at worst, we will die together."

Liu Ya doesn't believe in evil, the other party doesn't ask for money, can she still ask for death?As long as it is to fight for one life, can the other party not think about it at all?
The captain shook his head helplessly, and said: "We are not a navy ship, and we don't have many weapons. There are only a few strong crossbows, but there are not many crossbow arrows."

"Such a long voyage, how many broken crossbows did you take with you?" Liu Ya was really annoyed, she didn't expect that this boat was not even considered a paper tiger, but just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

The group of pirates didn't make any demands, and they didn't see any movement. They seemed to be here to test the cannon.As soon as it comes, it will be fired, and it will be fired without saying a word.

Liu Ya is in a hurry, she can't just watch the other party call, can she?

"Turn around and run over." Liu Ya suddenly ordered loudly.

"What?" The captain was taken aback, he didn't expect the master to be so impulsive.

But Cang Qianche repeated it solemnly: "Listen to her, turn around and run straight over. Full speed, no delay."

Now, the two masters have spoken, and the captain dare not neglect.He ran to the operating cabin himself, and asked all the sailors to step up their oars, and at the same time turned the bow back to face the pirate ship.

Just after Liu Ya's big ship turned around completely, the opponent's cannon was lit.

Liu Ya saw a puff of black smoke rising from the cannon, fine sparks burst out dazzlingly, and the burning fuse became shorter and shorter.

Immediately there was a loud bang that shook everyone's eardrums.

The cannonball flew out, but in Liu Ya's eyes, it seemed to be in slow motion.

She seemed to be able to clearly see the traces of the ballistic, and her head also turned in the same direction as the shell.
