Chapter 1248: Snatched cargo ship

"Captain, look at the shore over there. There are fortifications over there." The chief officer put down the telescope and pointed his finger in the direction of the shore.

"What?" This time. The captain only noticed the situation on the shore.

"There is actually a watchtower over there." This time. The captain said at this time.

"Immediately order us to catch up with the ship and quickly stop him." At this time, the captain said loudly.

"Quickly. Catch them. Let them stop. Hit their sails with cannon." This time. The first officer conveyed the order quickly.

"Hurry up. Load the shells." The gunner below shouted loudly. They quickly loaded the shells.

On the other side, the merchant captain eagerly urged their crew to speed up.

"We must speed up." The captain said anxiously.

"Boom." Just when the captain was extremely anxious. There was a sound of cannon.

"Wow." The shell flew directly. All shots are coming. The shot hit directly on the sail. The open sail was broken all at once. The purpose of Chu's navy was to use shotguns to smash the opponent's sails. Keep the opponent from moving forward at full speed.

"It hit the opponent." a gunner called out loudly.

"Load solid shells." A gunmaster shouted loudly.

"Solid shells are loaded." A gunner shouted loudly at this time. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

"Crack." With a cry. The shell slid into the barrel. The Chu State Navy is fully operating a cannon to shoot at the opponent.

On the merchant ship, the crew was a mess.

"Our sails are finished." The crew called, looking at the sails being beaten into pieces.

"They are getting closer and closer to us." This time. A crew member called out loudly.

"Hurry up and row," a veteran sailor said loudly.

"This boat is so heavy. How do we row?" the crew complained.

"If we can't move, we will all have to fight those pirates." the sailor called.

"Pad," the sailor called.

In desperation, some crew members started paddling their boats with oars.

"Captain, we need a salvo of side cannons to stop the opponent." This time. The first officer suggested.

"In that case, we need to sacrifice some chasing distance." The captain looked at the situation and said.

"We can only bet like this once," the chief mate said.

"En. Let's take a gamble." At this time, the captain accepted the first officer's suggestion.

The main firepower of the warship was concentrated on the left and right sides of the ship. Twenty-five artillery pieces. Except for one artillery in the bow, the other 24 artillery are evenly arranged on the left and right sides of the ship.

The warship has to face the merchant ship on the side of the ship's side, so that the firepower can be used to suppress the opponent at one time. Cause fatal damage to opponents.

"Turn the bow of the ship. A roundabout. A serious fatal shot was caused to the opponent." The captain ordered.

"Left full rudder." The captain gave an order at this time.

"Left full rudder." The chief officer conveyed the order. The sailor quickly turned the bow.

And the watchtower on the shore. A guard sentry discovered what was happening at sea at this time.

"A merchant ship was attacked by pirate ships. They are approaching us." The sentry immediately issued an alert.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

"Get on the ship. Get ready for battle." Some crew members resting on the shore were quickly summoned by the captain of the merchant ship.

Everyone rushed to their combat posts with weapons.

"What is the pirate ship doing?" At this moment, a sailor pointed at the warship that turned the bow of the ship behind.

The captain looked back at this time, and he quickly used the telescope to check the situation of the other party.

"What are they doing?" This time. The captain said at this time.

Just when the captain was wondering at this time. The warship turned its bow at this time.

"The artillery is ready." A gunner shouted loudly. The captain raised his right hand.

"Let it go." The captain waved his right arm heavily.

"Boom bang bang." The continuous sound of cannons came violently.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu." The cannonball flew out howling.

"Be careful, Captain." This time. A crew member quickly threw the captain of the merchant ship to the ground.

"Wow!" There was a sound of shells piercing through all the masts. Shoot fiercely and completely overturn the superstructure of the merchant ship.

"Bang." From time to time there were explosions.

The merchant ship was beaten all at once without any chance of fighting back.

"Oh my God." On the watchtower not far away, an elected local governor who was observing the battle said.

"The pirate is equipped with artillery." The governor said in surprise.

"The ship is on fire," the sentry on the side said.

"Should we send troops to help them?" the sentry suggested.

"The other party has artillery. Help them, it is likely to cause us greater losses." The district governor said.

"Order all of us not to send troops to fight. All are on standby." At this time, the district governor said.

At this time, the captain of the warship smiled and said while looking at the burning ship.

"We quickly stepped forward, approached them, and snatched their ships." The warship captain said at this time.

"Go forward quickly." The first officer conveyed a new order.

The warship turned its bow again at this time. Quickly chase the merchant ship.

"Captain. The captain is okay." A crew member covered in dust and black toner carried a log and said.

"Huh." The captain was struggling to support his body and gasped for breath at this time.

"Help me up." The captain said at this time.

The entire back of the merchant ship was overturned. The connecting rod controlling the rudder was completely knocked out. The ship could not turn the bow. And the second half of the entire merchant ship was broken. The mast was knocked down by a third, and a secondary mast was broken on the ship. The loss of personnel is also serious.

Blood and flesh were scattered around the captain. Most of the body is incomplete. The shells came close to the deck. The crew above was directly knocked to the ground by the flying shells. You can imagine how bad the situation is.

Many crew members were too late to escape, and they were directly interrupted by the flying shells. The internal organs of the intestines flowed to the floor.

"Captain, our ship is on fire." This time. A crew member said.

The captain said nothing. He watched his ship burn in flames.

"Captain, what should we do?" the crew asked.

The captain remained silent.

"Captain, the enemy is approaching." The crew looked back at the approaching pirate captain and said.

"Abandon the ship." This time. The captain finally slowed down and spoke.

"What?" the crew asked at this time.

"I said, abandon the ship." The captain said at this time.

"Let's go." The captain said at this time.

"Help me up," the captain said. Immediately, the crew lifted up the captain. go away.

And this time. His crew has lost control. Many crew members this time. Already dived to escape. They knew that their ship was finished.

"We need to put out the fire to capture that ship." This time. The chief mate said.

"Look at those crew members, they have already started diving to escape. We will take down the ship easily." The chief officer said to the captain.

"Very good. I hope to see the results." said the captain.

"Order our people, prepare to put out the fire on that ship." The captain ordered.

Immediately, the warship quickly approached the burning ship. And launch those fire fighting operations.

"What about those crew members who jumped into the water?" This time. A crew member on the side asked.

"Don't worry about them, let them go by themselves," the captain said. What he cares about is the boat. The ship full of cargo.

"Let's see, what good things are installed on this ship." A sailor opened the bottom cabin excitedly at this time.

At this time, the fire on the ship had not yet been extinguished.

"Wow." There was a sound of opening the chain. The sailors of the Chu State Navy pulled open the iron chain excitedly.

"Gosh. Damn it." This time. The sailor exclaimed in surprise.

"It's stinking. Something," said the sailor.

"No need to look. It must be a slave." An old sailor on the side said with a rifle.

At this time, the sailor was holding a rifle and walking down the spiral staircase with a torch.

"Oh." the sailor exclaimed in surprise.

A full cabin of Vietnamese slaves. The sailors were all stared at this time. He didn't know how to describe what he saw.

At this time, the more people looked at the sailor who came down in horror. They were shocked by what happened outside, and they didn't know it happened. But the big fire outside and the thick smoke that came out made these more people feel terrified, and they suspected that they might be burned to death. However, here is the sea, and the ships are constantly shaking. They have never experienced all of this.

They were worried about dying, and everyone was afraid of what to do. Sailors can read their mood at this time through their eyes.

"This is the cargo of this ship." The sailor said at this time.

"Perhaps." This time. Said a sailor.

Subsequently. The sailor told the captain of the cargo. The captain immediately asked to lead some people aboard the cargo ship by a large margin, and the warship dragged the cargo ship away.

"What should we do now?" The sailors didn't know what to do.

"We need to find a place where we can put these things down." The captain said.

Immediately, the captain began to order the warship to start again.

The governor on the shore looked at the other side leaving with a telescope.

"These pirates, they are robbers. In this way, we will take away the wealth we have spent on blood." The governor said angrily.

And this time. People on the shore are rescuing those who came ashore. There is nothing to lose a boat. But if there is no crew, the ship is useless. But everyone knows that their ships are not safe.
