Chapter 23 (1/2)

Takahashi said, ”before the battle, it is usually shooting with rifles, and then the two sides will fight with pistols at close range. Pistol bullets are loaded slowly. When they are empty, they can only use cold weapons.

Japanese Dao is the fastest. It can often cut off limbs with one knife. But the axe seems to be quite good. If it hits, the other party basically has no power to fight back. ”

Wei Ran looked at Gaoqiao and saw that he looked nervous. He smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

”There's no axe. Give me one.” Wei Ran changed the subject.

Takahashi took Wei Ran to a cabin. On the way, he met many sailors shouting back and forth. These sailors, like Takahashi, have a tense expression. Although they are not flustered and orderly, they still feel a depressed atmosphere.

Takahashi took a sailor and asked two questions before catching up with Wei Ran.

Takahashi introduced the situation: ”we are not fully prepared for the naval battle this time to Nanyang. Although we have strong firepower, our mobility is not strong, and there is only one ship. There are four pirates chasing after them, which are like two bread sandwiches.

We can't solve each other at one time through artillery battle. When the pirate ship enters their range, it will form a counter fire. Such a battle is more difficult for people to take control of their lives than a side to side battle.

Because grape bullets and chain bullets come at random. If you are unlucky, you will die in it even if you are good at it. The reason why the brothers are nervous is that the next battle may cause heavy casualties. ”

I entered an arms room. There were some boxes containing a lot of cold weapons, guns and ammunition.

Wei chose two hand axes and put them in a place easy to draw out behind his waist. Then he chose a rough double barreled shotgun. He used to play with guns when he was training in the United States. His shooting method was good.

However, considering the possibility of close combat, he chose a ”rough man” with short range but wide coverage and great power, and then grabbed a shotgun bullet and a revolver.

Takahashi chose a short Japanese Dao and a sailor Dao. It seems that he is also a good hand in both hands. Then he chose a common bolt rifle and a revolver.

Ah San looked at all this. His legs were shaking.

Wei Ran looked at him helplessly. ”You take the left reincarnation to the room, stay inside and don't come out.”

At this time, I heard the roar of rows, which was very shocking.

Takahashi said with a dignified face, ”the pirate ship has entered our range. We opened the fire first. I don't know what the outcome is.”

Wei Ran said, ”do you want to have a look on the deck?”

Takahashi grabbed Wei Ran and said, ”master Wei, you are an important guest of the captain. The deck is very dangerous. As I just said, if the pirate ship enters their range, it will launch grape bombs to clean up the effective forces on the deck. ”

Wei Jianqi said, ”why don't you withdraw everyone on the deck to the cabin?”

”That won't work. The hull keeps moving and aims at the enemy with the sideboard, so as to fire and destroy them. It's not enough to adjust the direction just by the rudder. Sailors need to coordinate and control the three sails and grasp the wind direction in order to move in place quickly. ”

So Wei Ran and a group of sailors could only wait under the cabin with weapons.

At this time, the black fish had begun to exchange fire with four pirate ships.

Zheng Hong steered the ship himself and loudly ordered the sailors to control the sails. His loud chief officer conveyed the order.

Although the black fish had cannons on both sides, the pirates wouldn't be so stupid to aim at him on both sides. Instead, the two sides are interspersed at different angles.
