Chapter 99 Although there are thousands of people, I will go
The excitement hidden under Lu Yuan's calm words was already very familiar with Jacques, and he could hear it a little.
Jacques had never seen the captain as "out of composure".
He didn't know what was special about the ship with strange sails... But when he remembered that the East India Company wanted order said that Lu Yuan was from the "slave of the Far East"? Jacques suddenly realized that it was the sea ship of the greatest empire in the world that the captain said? It came from the captain's hometown?
"Da...Ming..." He repeated it with a strange pronunciation, picked up the telescope and wanted to see it clearly!
"Oh God!" Jacques groaned with a breathless look, "Captain, you must look at this!"
When Lu Yuan picked up the telescope again, he opened his mouth in shock.
What he saw from the lookout was no longer a lonely Ming blessed ship. Behind that blessed ship, countless fish rib sails were gradually rising from the end of his sight, covering the sea as spectacular as a forest! The afternoon sun was still clear and the sea was still blue, but in the direction of the fleet, the sails like dragon wings were raised proudly, blocking the blue sky in the view like dark clouds!
The few lucky ships in the ocean can stand up three masts, and the more can stand up seven or eight masts! Lu Yuan could not calculate how many lucky ships and warships there were to cover the sky and the sun so much!
This is really the Chinese navy? This is the Ming sailing ship?! It is now the 17th century, when European robbers do whatever they want on the sea! Then a very powerful Ming fleet ruled the Caribbean Sea?! Are you not good at bullying me in history?
Lu Yuan couldn't help but rub his eyes foolishly. Did some time traveler go to the wrong set?! Although his heart was about to jump out, his blood was even boiling. He almost sprayed out of his throat! Just looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Yuan burst into tears without realizing it! The heart that already belonged to the time traveler was also trembling unwillingly.
A powerful ocean country? I must have drunk too much rum, I must have dreamed...
Konima, I am just dreaming. Please let me do it for a longer time!!
"It's a pursuit war! The Far East Fleet of the East India Company... They are running away! I swear I've never seen such a big ship! The artillery on it... are not counted at all! The British people on the opposite side are not here to intercept us, they... should be asking for help from the pursuit fleet behind us!"
"You're right... Jacques." Lu Yuan tried hard to calm himself down, and he saw more.
The lucky ship that followed closely behind the Far East Fleet, Lu Yuan originally thought it was a Ming Dynasty merchant who came to Europe with the tail of the Far East Fleet.
But when most of the mast jungle was exposed and the eyes could clearly distinguish the arrangement of the entire fleet, Lu Yuan's auxiliary brain quickly analyzed the postures of both sides and came to the most suitable conclusion.
The nearest blessed ship chasing was clearly the ranger in front of the Ming fleet. A swaying sharp knife! She kept adjusting her course, like a tiger accumulating energy, waiting for the flaw to launch a charge, tearing a large piece of the Far East Fleet down!
The fleeing fleet would have to break the tail again and again after fierce tearing it up. Then, he watched the wolves-like fleet rush up and tear the parts cut from the main fleet into pieces. It is precisely because of the large fleet behind that the only lucky ship can force the entire Far East fleet to such a mess! The fleet has now completely lost its formation. The fast-speed ship rushed to the front regardless of everything! The dozen large ships with strong ships with sharp cannons were always in groups, and the remaining ships that were not strong enough and slow, became cannon fodder for the entire fleet to cut their flesh and feed their tigers and cut their tails to survive.
If they dare to sacrifice their best to fight this lucky ship, the price they paid would be the annihilation of the Far East Fleet of the British East Indian Company.
It was not until the horizon was exposed. Lu Yuan clearly saw the strength comparison between the two sides! The Ming Dynasty's fleet had about fifty large ships, which were actually equivalent to the Far East fleet, but the displacement was all over 1,000 tons! More than twice the size of the other side's large ship!
Lu Yuan could not imagine at all. When did the Ming Dynasty have such good shipbuilding technology? Those lucky ships were not the Chinese lucky ships that Lu Yuan remembered. Judging from the sail installation, the hard sails on the fish ribs are both vertical sails and horizontal sails. They were originally very flexible. However, these sailing ships pulled layers of triangular soft sails that were almost the same as the style of the Bermuda sails. This allowed the ships to almost achieve the best efficiency in the sail era!
You should know that this kind of sail has just become popular in the Caribbean.
Moreover, the bottom of the ship has also improved the traditional triangular bottom of the Fu Ship, absorbing the strengths of the European "u"-shaped bottom, and perhaps the design passed down from the treasure ship? In short, the displacement is far greater than that of Lu Yuanshen. There are waveboards below it, which makes the ship sailing more smoothly in the ocean and can carry more artillery. Look at the densely packed muzzles on the sides, there are at least 80+ heavy artillery...
************
Lu Yuan suddenly forced himself to put down his telescope.
He clamped his cheek with his hands and patted him hard a few times, "Bastard!"
"I just remembered that this is exactly the same as what I had in my heart before?" Lu Yuan laughed. He threw the telescope in his hand to the side and shouted loudly at the sky, "Colibuso! Do you dare to try to influence my soul? You are too underestimating the power of a magician!" Lu Yuan, who was angry because of his innocent feelings, did not care about the tip of the main god's deduction points! His fingers danced, tearing the light of the large arcane, and enveloped himself, and then shouted at the bronze ring with key words - "Protect chaos! Protect evil!"
[Protect Chaos/Evil/Good/Shield: Defense and Savings +2, Counterattacks of Mind Control, blocking elemental creatures and alien creatures.]
Lu Yuan's body burst into red and white halos one after another, causing a burst of exclamation from the crew below! The first time he used his full strength, although it was a low-level spell, Lu Yuan's body was surrounded by the glory of arcane, looking like a god descending to the earth! His voice rolled over the deck like thunder, which made the sailors, especially the black people, tremble. Even Jacques lowered his head in awe, but he had long been a admirer of Lu Yuan. He had not suffered much impact.
Because the arcane power displayed far exceeds the barriers of a spell, the huge magic power triggered by Lu Yuan even formed a milky white eggshell that had existed for a short time around his body. The surging rule power descended on Lu Yuan's world of consciousness and spirit, instantly cleaning and stripping away any emotions and feelings that did not belong to Lu Yuan himself!!!
Colibuso! See it?! This is the answer I give you!
Then... the wind is still blowing, the sky is still so blue, and the Ming fleet ahead is still so charming... Why... nothing happened?!
Ah... Could it be that... all this is true!?
Lu Yuan knelt down all of a sudden.
Lu Yuan has always regarded this world as only as big as the Caribbean Sea.
As for Europe and the Ming Dynasty, it is like a concept far away from the sky, just know it. Although there are countless Chinese people living in the Ming Dynasty, with black hair and black eyes like me. But it is a world that has nothing to do with me. In Lu Yuan's heart, it is just a background that can never be reached, just like Karatu of the Bald Gate World.
However, since meeting Lin Beiyuan from the Ming Dynasty, the word "Ming" seems to have gradually changed from a different dimension country far away from the sky, speaking the same language and having the same origin to a concept that is increasingly connected to one's life.
Until now, the Ming Dynasty's expedition fleet consisting of more than 50 thousand-ton ships actually raised the sails of fish ribs! The yellow dragon flag was shaking! The expedition was 10,000 nautical miles! It appeared in front of Lu Yuan...
At this moment, Lu Yuan's tears finally couldn't help falling.
He didn't even know why he cried.
*******
When Lu Yuan saw two large fleet clusters, they obviously also saw the lonely "Maria" drifting on the waterway. The small boat seemed to be frightened and crashed straight towards the East India Company's fleet.
How could the Far East Fleet be afraid of a small pirate ship? They rushed towards this direction with their teeth and claws.
The Ming sailboat behind them swayed for a moment. They were still stubbornly chasing behind the Far East Fleet with the attitude of leaving their fleet. Since they saw a Western sailboat parked on the route, they should have considered that there were more ships.
"If you do this recklessly, you will suffer a great loss!" Lu Yuan lamented. He climbed up along the main mast again until he stood on the top of the mast with one foot! Lu Yuan seemed to have taken out a pair of flags he had temporarily created in order to confirm some unrealistic guesses in his heart.
Lu Yuan pointed out the standard flag in the direction of the Ming ship - "Before, ambush, slow down!" "Before, ambush, slow down!" "Before, ambush, slow down!"... Lu Yuan repeated over and over again, sending a strong warning signal.
At this time, he had removed all his disguise and revealed his completely oriental face! He believed that as long as the person on the other side saw him in the telescope, he would believe what he said! At least he would be more cautious.
Unfortunately, when Lu Yuan sent a signal in vain, the lucky ship that had been swimming suddenly stretched out eighteen long slurries from the ship! Her speed increased instead of decreasing, and she rushed towards the flank of the Far East Fleet with a small gap! I don’t know what kind of stimulation I was, but I had always been safe. At this time, she actually chose a single ship that was almost at its peak to cut in!
"Do you really can't understand?" Lu Yuan put away the flag in his hand in disappointment. He changed into a new disguise and jumped off the mast. "Keep the course! We are ready to do a big fight! Fight! Slaves!"
Lu Yuan yelled and took over the command and the wheels. He drove the ship and rushed straight towards the East India Company fleet! His crew members, whether loyal or ill-minded, had to gather around him at this time to form Lu Yuan's sword.
The Far East Fleet was close at hand, and Lu Yuan's eyes caught a gap like a hawk, and he hedged against the past without hesitation!
Even if he was defeated, he would still rescue his unknown fellow villager! Then he slapped him hard, but he didn't listen to the dissuasion. He overestimated his ability to use a ship to challenge the other side's fleet!
Are you committing great death?!
He never thought about what the difference between what he was doing now and the other party?!
*******
The British fleet, which had originally encircled from three directions, had to move closer and gather in one direction and arrange it again according to the ship's condition. Their goal was to adjust it into a double-row battle line, but judging from the current weather, the "Shadow Governor" Aldridge even felt that he might not be able to do it all day long!
The one-star battleship "Enprogress" is his flagship, and now... after leaving the stern with a gloomy face, he only issued the name of adjusting the battle line and locked himself in the captain's room and did not come out. The governor of San Juan bent down and waited outside the captain's room, sweat dripping down his clothes, but he did not dare to move. (To be continued...)
ps: I was just worried that I would not have time to post it all, so I first opened a chapter and sent it out...
Chapter completed!
