Chapter 445 Missed?
Boat?
Gerald couldn't help but frown, knowing that they were in the New World, not Europa in the Age of Discovery.
In order to avenge the previous shame, the Ganlasi royal family dispatched elite naval officers to the New World, not only to receive the newly built large ships, but also to train a group of qualified sailors.
Their losses in the East have been too great, and they have affected the country of Ganlushi. When powerful enemies look around the West, Ganlushi is not an invincible existence.
Although they had the so-called Invincible Armada, the rise of England and the expansion of the Netherlands had shaken the position of the Ganrasi sea.
Even the small country of Furang can compete with them at sea. After all, the foundation of the Kansil Kingdom is in Europe, and sending outstanding officers is already the limit.
It will take quite a while to build a new ship, and a group of qualified sailors will be trained. If the Eastern Lord can defeat the Eastern lord in one fell swoop, this new force will also become the cornerstone of Ganlusi's dominance of the ocean.
Gerald was one of these officers, training the rookie sailors on the ship. Because he had some conflicts with the fleet commander, he practiced this group of hundreds of years to death. Hearing the lookout hand saying there was a ship, he took out the telescope and looked over.
A boat was sailing towards them on the sea far away, to be precise, being pushed by the waves because it was too broken.
One of the remaining two masts on the ship had fallen down and dragged them into the sea, causing the hull to tilt. The other one was not much better, standing crookedly on the ship, with a few rag-like sails on it, which were not much different from what was not.
The ship was covered with wounds of all sizes, and they were randomly nailed by wooden boards. In some places, you can even see the inside of the hull clearly.
What surprised Gerald the most was that the boat seemed to have hit a reef and had a big hole in the front. As the ship advanced, sea water continued to pour into it.
It is a miracle that this boat can still float on the sea. What has it experienced?
After seeing it, Gerald frowned even deeper. There was no flag on the mast. It was impossible to tell which country's ship it was. It seemed that the style was not a sea ship of ripe silk.
A non-Grandsil sea ship appeared near the Iquique port of the Grandsil people. Who does it belong to?
After watching for a while, Gerald's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and a figure flashed past his sight.
Although it was only a moment, Gerald was sure that the other party was definitely not a Western face. Although the man was tanned, his black hair and dark eyes were too obvious.
Oriental people! That’s right! It’s them!
This ship made Gerald feel familiar. As an imaginary enemy, the Oriental warship, he has studied it countless times. If it weren't for the miserable appearance of this ship, he would have recognized it at a glance.
Orientals appeared near Iquique Harbor. Have they reached their tentacles to the New World?
This discovery made Gerald's heart pound, and he instinctively wanted to order his return and return to Iquique port to report the news.
There are more than twenty large sailboats there, which are the root of the ripe silk counterattack on the East and must not be discovered by the Orientals.
"Captain! Has that ship encountered a storm? Should we go over and rescue?" The sound of the lookout hand sounded, blocking Gerald's words about to exit back.
Yes! That boat is so miserable!
It must have been a storm when crossing the ocean, and there were no other sea boats nearby. They must have been separated from the fleet and drifted to the Port of Iquique.
A enemy ship can be captured without a war. This is a gift from God to himself. If you don’t catch it immediately, even God will blame you.
Thinking of this, Gerald's words were about to be heard changing and pointed to the broken sea boat in the distance and said, "Brave boys! That boat belongs to the evil East and is our enemy!
Your opportunity to make meritorious contributions has come, and everyone who captures that boat will receive a generous reward. This is the end of the pagans' opposition to God.
Let us go and hang the Orient on the mast!
This is not an exercise! I repeat it again, this is not an exercise!"
...
"Xu Sheng! Will the red-haired ghost be fooled? Let's just appear in front of them, they won't doubt it!" Ding Daniu looked at the sailboat in the distance with some concern and said.
Jiang Xusheng glared at him before saying, "If you didn't show your head just now, they would have to come and check it out. It's hard to say now!"
"I'm not worried that I'll go out to see it! Besides, the red-haired ghost may not be able to see it. If..." Ding Daniu said with some confidence, and was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Captain! The Gansil is here!" The voice was not loud, but it made the soldiers on the ship excited.
Jiang Xusheng was shocked when he heard this and ordered: "As long as we plan, this is the first battle across the ocean in a few months. If anyone messes up, I will hang him on the mast for a few months and wait for the New Year!"
The distance between the sash sailboat was getting closer and closer, Jiang Xusheng's hands were trembling, his heart was beating violently, his eyes were staring at the sailboat, and muttered softly: "Come here! Come here quickly! Don't be too slow, I'm waiting so hungry..."
Compared with the hardships across the ocean, Jiang Xusheng prefers to fight with the enemy at close range. This feeling of bloodiness makes him a little fascinated and makes him tremble with excitement before every battle.
Just when the sailing ship was less than a hundred steps away, it stopped. Seeing the other party crossing the hull and revealing the black muzzle of a door on the side, Jiang Xusheng's heart couldn't help but jumped hard.
Has the red-haired ghost seen through?
"Xu Sheng! The red-haired ghost has discovered it, let's do it with them!" Ding Daniu's words were recognized by others. The Jingbei Navy will not be beaten and will not fight back. Since it was discovered by the other party, it is not afraid of the big sailboat of the Khan Silk Man.
Jiang Xusheng shook his head. The order he received was to capture a large sash sailboat intact. For this reason, the fleet did not hesitate to transform a sea wolf warship, changing their ships into pieces and sank at any time.
Even if this is successful, the transformed Seawolf warship will be destroyed. Unless it is dragged ashore for overhaul, it will not be able to withstand the storm and waves across the ocean.
It can be said that the long-distance fleet has paid a lot for this plan to lure the enemy. Did he give up like that?
Even if you win, with the current miserable situation of the Seawolf warship, you will not be able to catch up with the Ganlisi people's sailing ship. By then, the entire fleet will be exposed, and it will be difficult to completely capture the Port of Iquique.
If you don’t work, try that move. If you really can’t work hard, it’s not too late!
Just as Jiang Xusheng was struggling, the sailboat blew out a stream of gunpowder, and the cannonballs roared at the Sea Wolf Battleship. Jiang Xusheng's body trembled, subconsciously lowered his body, and grabbed the side of the ship beside him.
"Boom!" The shells fell into the sea water beside them, and the sea water was splashed onto the ship.
