Chapter 90 We are charging

"Captain...we are, against the wind..." A seaman timidly reminded Wu Yuan. When he thought, since he was going to escape, it would be too bad to choose against the wind!

At this time, Lu Yuan finally smiled and no longer had a stern face like he had just done. After a series of planning just now, when Morgan's ship began to pursue, in his eyes, the possibility of entering the boarding battle had increased from 0.3% to 47%!

"Hi! Guys!" he smiled and shouted to the silent gunners, "Don't be like a foal! If you still want to stay on the boat, I promise you have better cannons to use! Now, everyone goes to the arsenal to pick out equipment, scimitars, muskets, and whatever you want! Then join August's team! You have to move faster!"

"Captain, aren't we running away?" asked a gunner. He had just pushed his cannon down with his own hands and was sad.

"Escape? There are no these two words in my dictionary!" Lu Yuan boasted shamelessly, "Guys, we are heading against the wind now! Think about it, if our boat suddenly turns around, what will happen next? Don't tell me you are all a bunch of idiots!"

The gunners were first confused, and then they all showed shocked expressions. The team leader of a group couldn't help but shout, "You want to jump the bang?! Play a boarding battle!"

"Yes! I promise that I will bring you victory! In this last battle, our ship is not as good as the other party, and its firepower is worse than the other party, so let us use swords and muskets to decide the victory and the outcome! Now, my gunners, can you still get scimitars and muskets?! Are your courage and strength still there?! You have always been the core of my ship, with the highest salary and enjoy the best treatment! Now the time to decide the victory and the outcome is coming soon, don't let me see how you wet your pants!"

"Yeah! Yeah! Absolutely not!" The gunners roared excitedly and rushed towards the arsenal in crowds!

After the gunners left, the deck was empty, and only Lu Yuan and a few sailors were left. Lu Yuan shrugged and made a face.

If the open-air artillery deck is calculated, the Siren should be divided into four layers. From top to bottom, there are open-air decks, middle-level decks, lower-level decks and bottom warehouses. The open-air decks are places where artillery and daily sailors are trained by daily sailors. The middle-level decks are the residences of the captains and officers and the residences of the gunners. The lower-level decks are the residences of ordinary sailors, stormtroopers, carpenters, supply officers, etc. The bottom warehouse on the bottom is mainly used to stack goods, also known as cargo warehouses.

The living environment of the warehouse is the worst. However, it is the safest. When fighting, most women and children will hide here.

Now August led the stormtroopers to hide in the second safe place, on the lower deck of the ship. Because the Siren did not carry any cargo, all the hammocks were now packed up again. Now all the sailors were only in the empty cabins. They sat or stood together, gathering together to pack up the scimitars or muskets in their hands.

After several lootings, the equipment on Lu Yuan's ship was of the best quality and sufficient quantity. There was no problem with each person's two short muskets and a scimitar.

*******

"Tom, if you don't want to get shelled, stay away from the wall!" August, who had been wiping his Toledo sword, suddenly raised his head and shouted at a sailor who leaned himself against the hull.

"Anyway, we are running away..." Tom muttered dissatisfiedly, but under August's stare, he left there awkwardly and returned to the middle of the cabin and sat down. The sailors were a little silent. They were all veterans, and they knew where they sailed when they were lying in the hammock. They would not be unable to feel the turn of the ship before, and the ugly attitude of staggering against the wind now... They were obviously so excited as they said just now!

"It's good if you can escape..." An old sea wolf muttered, if possible, wouldn't it be good to take the money safely? It's not embarrassing to escape.

"But if we need to escape, we should repair the sail immediately! How can we pass the Sea Wolf by just one sail?" A sailor jumped out and argued, "And now it's against the wind!"

"That boat is the Sea Wolf, one of the fastest ships in the Caribbean! Whether our sails are intact or not. Whether we are going up or down, we can't run away from them..."

The man's voice was interrupted by the heavy sound of the cannon falling into the sea.

"How could we... how could this be like this!" Tom stood up excitedly! He was really not a traitor, he just liked this boat too much! Tom was the kind of sailor who felt very belonging and was ready to sacrifice his life for the "Simon".

"Shut up!" August's angry voice echoed in the space on the lower deck, interrupting everyone's argument.

"I don't know what the captain is thinking, and I guess you don't know either! Otherwise, we will be the captain!" He knocked the wooden barrel next to him with his sword and continued. "I can't guess the captain's idea every time! Or guess wrong like you! But every time I guess wrong, the captain can win once! Have you ever seen the captain lose? He has always won for a month!

Here, Jacques and I followed the captain for a longer time. The captain never lost, every time! So, you let me guess the captain’s thoughts, I can’t guess! But as long as the captain makes an inexplicable move, it is not far from victory!

The captain asked us to hide here in order to preserve our combat effectiveness! I have already felt that the moment of fighting needs to be getting closer and closer! I ask you to hold the swords and guns in your hands, and I will rush in front of you!"

Everyone was listening silently. As soon as August finished speaking, a large number of footsteps sounded outside. The sailors looked back and saw those gunners who were regarded as treasures by Lu Yuan. Now everyone was holding a scimitar with muskets in their waists and rushed into the lower deck.

"How do you say it?" August asked nervously.

"We threw away the artillery and shells!" A group leader stood up and said, "The captain said that the Siren will turn around and rush towards the Sea Wolf, and let us use swords and muskets to decide the outcome!"

The sailors on the lower deck gave low cheers.

At this time, the hull began to tilt greatly, and even threw the unexpected sailors onto one wall and crowded them together.

"Damn it, be careful of your knife!" "Mustgun, everyone pay attention to musket!"

In the midst of these noises, August's loud voice suddenly overshadowed everyone! "Quiet! Get out of the wall!" He pushed the crowd away like Moses splitting the Red Sea, "We are charging!"

************

Taking advantage of the biggest headwind, Lu Yuan drove the "Simon" to make an incredible move. She gracefully turned the boat away from the spot like a ballet air! In an instant, she changed forward and backward, and turned against the wind. The pursuit posture of the two ships, one in front and one behind, became the hedging posture of the boss facing each other!

The "Simon" is almost empty now. After she entered the wind, she immediately rushed as fast as a swordfish flying over the water, charging straight towards the Sea Wolf!

"Left full rudder", seeing the actions of the "Simon", Edward Luo, the captain of the Sea Wolf, gave the order gracefully without any hesitation.

"What did you say?" His first mate was stunned and asked in disbelief. The previous playful attitude of the Siren and the provocation of not taking the Sea Wolf seriously have made the sailors on the Sea Wolf red with their eyes. The captain actually ordered the rudder to turn?

Since the Siren turned around and charged, many sailors have gathered on the front deck with scimitars, ready to teach her a profound lesson! Even the first mate himself was holding a sword and carrying three short muskets! But... "Left Manru"?

"Why do we run away?! The dignity of the Sea Wolf cannot be provoked!" the chief mate said angrily.

"What's running away?" Edward glanced at him, and directly passed the first mate and gave an order to the shelling chief, "Read on the port side! Prepare for shelling!" Then he took over the wheel rudder himself and began to turn left. "Remember, Mr. Jung, because of your hesitation, we were wasted half of our shooting opportunities!"

Like Lu Yuan, who was driving a small boat of two orders of magnitude and launched a straight charge to challenge the big boat. Among the ten pirate captains, nine of them were dizzy and wanted to see blood from him! But Edward Luo would not. He was a typical British naval officer. Even if he later left the navy and joined the pirates, the British navy's philosophy was still implemented.

"What kind of jumping bang, what provocation? Are you listening to your grandfather telling stories? We don't need those things! This is not 1,500 years, now is the era of naval guns! In my eyes, the Siren, who threw away his guns, is not even as powerful as a woman's combat power!" He said contemptuously. "You want to fight with women, then have you ever thought about the shame of being defeated by women?!" His first mate stroked the hilt of his sword silently, saluted, and turned around and left.

"Damn it! I knew it wasn't that smooth! This guy was more cunning than a fox!" Seeing the actions of the Sea Wolf, Lu Yuan cursed, adjusted his hull, and still charged forward!

"Be careful of the artillery fire!" Seeing the flashing fire and smoke from the opposite side, Lu Yuan shouted. At this time, the sail drivers on the deck had already hid in the cabin, and they temporarily acted as communication soldiers.

"Be careful of shelling!" "Be careful of shelling!" "Be careful of shelling!" The sound was transmitted layer by layer to the lower deck. August directed everyone to grab the cables and moved closer to the middle!

"Captain can hide, right?" The man named Tom happened to stand next to August, and he asked in a low voice.
