Pirate System

Chapter 4 Interception

The sea breeze hurriedly swept through, and blew Tangke's slightly long black head. He was standing on the observation deck of the Sky, holding a telescope to observe carefully. On the sea at this time, there was only the ship Cangtian. Tangke, like a icy sculpture, remained motionless for a while, until the target appeared, and the corners of his mouth turned up sharply.

"Sailing dog, you finally delivered to your door"

Tang Ke's mood was agitated for a while. He was here to collect debts today. According to the situation, 90% of them would fight at sea. But the enemy's fleet consisted of twenty ships, and Tang Ke only drove the sky. Although there is a huge disparity in numbers, he has full confidence in this battle, bringing other ships to come, but it will cause a drag.

On the sea in the distance, a fleet of ships pierced through the faint mist, like a group of ghostly shadows, with a size of about twenty ships. The fleet of the Fang Fang Pirates really passed through here, heading for the direction of the Greenland Empire.

Tang Ke observed with the binoculars for a while. After estimating that the distance was sufficient, he used the investigation technique and learned that there were more than 3,000 people in the Fang Fang pirate group. Among them, several small fast ships carried fifty people, and two large ships had their own. Carrying three hundred people, compared to these, the most important thing is the magic boat as the flagship.

The magic boat owned by Saliva Dog is called the Pudding. It is a small first-order magic boat. It has several magic cannons with higher firepower than cannons. Ability.

【special function】

Rebound (do not consume magic stones, use the special pudding wood of the hull and the help of the elastic magic circle to bounce back shells such as solid bullets)

Magic power propulsion (use the duck-paw-shaped oar at the stern to beat forward, consume magic stone 0.1t per hour, the maximum time limit is hours)

Tangke carefully checked the information of the Pudding. Only the rebound ability needs to be paid attention to. Other aspects are similar to ordinary sailboats. Although it is only a first-order magic ship, it cannot be taken lightly. With its rebound ability, the Pudding is equivalent to the ineffectiveness of cannonball strikes. It can only be killed with shotguns or attacked with flames. Thinking of the flames, he naturally thought of the Purgatory. The powerful fire-breathing ability of the Purgatory was simply the nemesis of the Pudding. It's a pity that the Purgatory is not there, so we can only find another way.

"Little ones, control the sails, let's stop their flagships," Tangke ordered.

The magic furnace of Cangtian roared eagerly, the hull raised half-sail, adjusted the position with an accurate angle and a slow degree, and always maintained a "T"-shaped angle with the Fang Fang fleet.

The "T" shape is the most commonly used and practical position in fleet naval battles, because such a formation can use one side of the hull to bombard the enemy indiscriminately, while the enemy ship can only counterattack with ship artillery. Even passively beaten. The advantage of this style of play is obvious, it can weaken the enemy with very little loss, and let the enemy suffer at sea. Of course, if the enemy ship turns around, the two sides will form a "two" shape, which will become a fair and reasonable confrontation. The victory depends entirely on hard power. Whoever has the bigger fist will win. In order to avoid the formation of a fair "two" shape, it is necessary to keep moving forward and always stop in front of the enemy ship to ensure the "T" shape advantage.

If you don’t want to use battle line tactics to fight to the death, running the “T” position is the key to victory in naval battles. This is also the time to test a commander or tactician the most, because you have to calculate the wind direction and the enemy’s next changes. Shen will take advantage of the injury position, and even be turned by the enemy to seize the "T" position.

The Cangtian was like a stumbling block, with obvious malice, and stopped in the middle of the sea, but instead of attacking in advance, it used a negotiation semaphore. The Fang Fang fleet paused for a while at sea, probably after some discussion, before the entire fleet formed a line, sailed close, and stopped at a distance of about eight hundred yards.

"Tangke, what do you mean?" Peel's rough voice came across the sea, obviously using the conch.

Tang Ke had already returned to the driving platform, and he also answered easily with the expansion screw in his hand: "I'm just here to collect debts."

"Debt collection?"

"Tsk tsk, Captain Peel, your memory is too bad. I deposited 10,000 gold coins with you two days ago, and you promised to give me back 20,000 gold coins, why, don't you forget? Right?" Tangke showed a sneer. He has always been blackmailing others, how can he tolerate others to blackmail him in turn, so he must find his way back today

Peel was silent for a while, as if a storm was brewing, and he roared angrily: "Tangke, have you heard a word? Don't pull a tooth out of a tiger's mouth"

"Sorry, never heard of it. And I'm not here to study proverbs with you, I'm here to collect debts"

"How can there be any **** debt between us?"

"Well, I wish you could answer like this. Since you defaulted on the debt, I can only use my fist to collect the debt." Blue veins appeared on Tangke's forehead.

The pirates on the ship were waiting for this sound. They screamed with excitement. The pirates on the deck chose to shoot or raise their swords, while the gunners on the gun deck pressed red-hot irons into the gun doors and ignited the fire with passion. , ten ordinary cannons and sixteen magic cannons attacked together, and the cannonballs were like black meteors, whizzing past the sea.

Due to the distance, the shells were exhausted when they hit the Pudding, and they slammed into the ship feebly, and were bounced off one after another. Although the artillery shells failed to kill, the significance of this firing was to declare war, not to strike the enemy.

"Tanke, how dare you fight our entire fleet with just one ship? Do you think you can scare me with a golden beard?" , he waved his claws and said, "At ten o'clock, the fleet will turn and move forward."

Peel was provoked, and his heart was naturally furious, but in addition, he was also a little surprised. He did not expect that Tangke would have such great courage, and he dared to declare war with one ship and twenty ships. He knew that Tangke was relying on having Golden Beard protected him, but he scorned it. As long as he didn't sink the Sky, he could take the battle to win.

In order to reverse the direction of the Pudding, in an attempt to get rid of the T-shaped disadvantage, the Pudding could not drive too fast due to the slower speed of the ordinary boats behind. The distance of 800 yards is just a matter of sliding forward for the sailboat. After a while, the Sky grabbed the Pudding's ship again, and threw another round of artillery fire. This time, the two sides were already close at hand, and all the artillery bombardments of the Cangtian were hit. Tangke already knew that the Pudding had the ability to bounce back, and of course he wouldn't find trouble. This kind of shell is covered with a thin layer of iron, which is filled with gunpowder and small iron bullets, and a fuse sticks out from the outside, which can explode after being shot.

Explosive bombs are still just a prototype, the accuracy is not very high, and the explosion time is uneven. Some exploded in mid-air, and only a few exploded at the right time, giving the Pudding a powerful blow. The hull of the Pudding was very elastic and could deflect all the scattered iron bullets, but the people on board were caught. Those big iron bullets, even if shields or helmets were used as defenses, could not completely offset the damage. Two pirates on the ship were killed on the spot, bleeding all over the place.

The Pudding's ship had a small cannon, and several counterattacks were carried out infrequently, with no real effect at all. The pirates on the Pudding roared with rage, trying to control the ship's turn, trying to advance alongside the Sky.

Under Tangke's accurate command, the Cangtian always maintained its positional advantage, and the rounds of artillery bombardment were like raindrops, which were fiercely vented.

"Damn, it's impossible for the whole team to get rid of the interception at this rate." Peel hurriedly avoided the shelling, thinking angrily about the countermeasures. He had heard a little about the sky and knew that the ship could fly, so the most effective outflanking tactic was no use. In this way, there are only two options left. One is to fight the war of attrition, with twenty ships having more ammunition than one ship anyway; the other is to engage in side-to-side battles, using the side-to-side battle to disrupt the deck of the Sky, especially to capture the console and let the Sky Can't fly, and then use outflanking tactics to win the sky in one fell swoop

Peel has been the captain of the pirates for so many years, and naturally it is not for nothing. Both solutions can crack the advantages of the Sky. After thinking for a while, he decided to choose the second option, ordering the whole ship to adjust to the downwind direction, move forward slowly, and rush past at the right time. As for the nineteen ships behind, in order not to scare the sky away, they will not move for the time being.

The sky was firing happily, the pirates were hooked, and the pudding stopped moving, dawdling forward in a straight line, so that it could focus on firing, and the hit rate of the shells was greatly improved.

Tang Ke didn't take the enemy as a fool. After he noticed the motive of the Pudding, he sneered. The advantage of the Cangtian lies in flying, so how can he fight the enemy ship? If he didn't have a side battle, naturally he couldn't let the enemy ship approach him and immediately pull up the rudder to let the sky fly.

The Cangtian quickly made a furling action, and the Pudding saw that something was wrong and rushed up. The Cangtian flew proudly before the Pudding, the huge propeller hummed, and the wind stirred, causing a mist of water on the sea.

"Damn and cunning coward" Peel's ramming plan aborts, and he yells in anger.

After the Cangtian reached the sky, it appeared to be more advantageous, able to resist the disadvantages of the wind direction, and advance over the Fang Fang fleet. Due to the height relationship, all the straight-barreled guns of the Fang Fang fleet were scrapped, and they could not hit the sky at all. Only a few mortars could shoot into the sky at an elevated angle, but the chance of hitting was really poor. The magic cannons carried by the Sky are all purpose-built for flying, and the muzzle can be adjusted downward to shoot the enemy ships in the lower left or lower right with a sharp angle.

It highly facilitated the opportunity of a unilateral attack by the Cangtian, without hesitation, beating the Fang Fang fleet that was crawling below, and the Fang Fang fleet had no chance to fight back except for being beaten.

In order to avoid the shelling, the Fang Fang fleet could only escape by the wind. Cangtian viciously chased up, but unfortunately it failed to catch up with the flagship. It could only close as soon as it was good, and dropped several huge powder kegs on a ship in the middle of the Fangs fleet. The power of this thing was very terrifying. The poor ship sank. The powder keg was made by Norman, and the goblins danced with excitement when they saw the explosion.

The Fang Fang fleet was cut in the middle, and the fleet was forced to split into two teams, but continued to move in the same direction. When the Cangtian used the enemy ship to adjust its direction to delay time, it aimed at another ship and dropped several explosive barrels. In the sky-high flames, the ship was also reduced to a half-wrecked state.

Seeing this, Tangke laughed happily. This kind of unilateral beating is really good, and the sight of the enemy ship sinking in the explosion is really pleasing to the eye. What bothered him a little was that in the ranking of the pirate groups made by the system, the Fang Fang pirates ranked ahead of the Evil Dragon Pirate Group, but they really fought at sea, but Tang Ke used a ship to destroy the Fang Fang fleet. Play around. Could it be that the ranking of the system does not count? He thought about it and made a guess.

After all, the system is a dead thing. When making judgments, the number of ships, the number of people, the reputation, and the level should be used as the standard. Taken together, the Fang Fang Pirates are higher than the Dragon Pirates, but only relying on the magic to move the ship. In terms of competition, the Pudding is no match for the Sky.

With the help of the gunpowder keg, the Cangtian sank two ships in a row, and the victories were fruitful. But Tangke was still not satisfied, and still couldn't understand his hatred. Under his ruthless command, the Cangtian was like a ruthless beast. With bright red eyes, it aimed at the third prey, and charged towards it with grinning teeth.

Several gunpowder kegs were dropped from the air, two fell into the water, and two fell on the stern, blowing up the ship. drift.

It was only at this time that Peel realized in despair that he had made a mistake in his calculations before, and made a big mistake. He originally thought that in the sea, the advantage was on his side. After all, he had twenty ships and twenty ships, but did he really fight? They chased 20 ships around with one ship, leaving them embarrassed and humiliated like dogs. He gritted his teeth and calculated that the current loss alone has exceeded 20,000 gold coins, which is really worth the loss. He regretted and hated, and he should not have been obsessed with money and regarded Tangke as a soft persimmon. Thinking about it this way, Tangke is not only not a soft persimmon, but also a stinky and hard stone. It is impossible to take a bite and not lose two **** teeth.

Cangtian is staring at the third ship, and it is only a matter of time before it succeeds.

Dismayed, Peel could only admit his failure. He didn't dare to do anything to the sky, but he had no scruples, and the situation was too bad. The leading fleet of the Fang Fang pirates turned around and returned, all flying white flags of shame.

"Tangke, I consider myself unlucky if you won. I will pay you back the debt of 20,000 gold coins." Peel roared in a muffled voice.

"I'm sorry, due to the interest rate, the 20,000 gold coins have risen to 30,000 now, and I can't lose a single point, otherwise I will continue to collect debts" Tang Ke replied in an unreasonable and vicious voice, the current situation, whose fist Big one is right

"You don't get too far"

Tangke simply stopped answering, and continued to attack the ship. Under the bombardment of a round of artillery shells, the ship's condition was in jeopardy.

"Okay, 30,000 gold coins, I promise to give them to you." Peel agreed with bitterness. He really had no countermeasures. There were several slow ships in the fleet, and it was impossible to escape. Compared with gold coins, ships and personnel more important.

In order to collect the money smoothly, Tangk ordered Peel to send a boat to bring the money. Peel followed suit, without any tricks. Tangke was also very careful, and took turns to investigate the people on the boat and the finance, and let the boat approach only after ensuring safety. During this period, the Fang Fang pirates rescued all their drowning companions, sank two ships in total, and rescued only one dilapidated ship.

Tangke opened the treasure box sent by Peel, and a burst of golden light dazzled the eyes. It was full of yellow gold coins. There were only more than 10,000 gold coins in it, but on the surface of the gold coins was a deposit slip for 20,000 gold coins. All in all, it's worth 30,000 gold coins. He smiled contentedly and closed the treasure chest.

The boat of the Fang Fang pirates rowed away, and the two sides parted ways at sea.

Peel lost 20,000 gold coins, of course he was not convinced, and roared viciously: "Tangke, I have recorded the account of these 30,000 gold coins"

"Sailing dog, this is your own fault. If you dare to play this game, you have to plan to be a loser." Tangke replied with a cold snort.

Peel's broken teeth could only be swallowed in his stomach. His face twitched with anger, and he gritted his teeth in a low voice: "Tangke, this game won't end like this."

The fleet of the Fang Fang Pirates gradually drifted away, and Peel stopped talking, and it was just a loss of face to say anything.

There was a sharp contrast between Tang and Peel's mood. There was a crescent-shaped arc on his mouth, and the black fluttering was like an unrestrained pirate flag~www.readwn.com~ After he watched the Fangfang fleet get out, he turned around Announced to return to the small pirate city today to celebrate and share the spoils.

Naturally, the pirates were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut. They cheered and shot into the sky. Every time a successful transaction is made, it means that they have money in their pockets to squander. And defeating the Fang Fang Pirates is a good talk to brag about with *girls.

Tangke looked at the rough smiling faces around him, and maliciously ordered: "After you arrive at the Little Pirate City, spread the news for me, saying that Peel took the initiative to attack the Sky, and preached that he didn't care about the Golden Beard's revenge. Remember to exaggerate, add oil and vinegar to it, and say that Peel is talking nonsense, saying that he doesn't take Golden Beard in his eyes. I mean, do you understand?"

The pirates looked at each other in dismay. They were stunned for a moment, but the smart ones quickly realized it.

"Haha, Captain, you are really bad."

There was a wicked smile on Tangke's face, yes, his move was indeed sinister. If it is swaggering around in the port and the news that Peel despised Golden Beard, it is likely to lead to Golden Beard's anger. If this old guy is angry, the entire sea will have no foothold for the Fang Fang Pirates. He is also using a knife to kill people. That's it.
