Pirate Ship Doctor [Rebirth]

Hearing this, Basalomew frowned immediately, and no longer caring about Donoghue, he picked up the sword and musket on the table, and immediately followed Kun out, asking as he walked, "They only have one warship. What ship? Did they tell you about how many people they saw on board? How much gunfire was there?"

"There is indeed only one warship! There are no other accompanying warships around. It is a two-masted sailing ship, which is slightly larger than our ship. The opponent is sailing against the wind, and we will immediately engage in battle as we move forward!" Kun frowned, and replied seriously: "Their ship seems to be equipped with only ordinary artillery. The number is about 12 to 15, which is much less than ours. But the number of crew... is estimated to be more than ours. !"

Galleons are large three-masted sailing ships, with a maximum capacity of 1000 tons. Their warships are 180 tons, but they are also three-masted sailing ships, so they are much faster than two-masted sailing ships.

It stands to reason that as long as there are no accidents, there is no problem for their fleet to escape, and he doesn't need to be so nervous.

But now they can work hard on the ship, manipulating the heavy sails, and there are very few crew members rowing, only 80 people, including him, the helmsman, the musician, and the ship doctor!

Even if musicians and boat doctors row together, there are only more than 70 people rowing.

You know, although they are going smoothly and fast now, once they escape, they will immediately be the same as the other party.Turned into a warship sailing against the wind, without manpower, their ship could not move an inch!

An ordinary navy brig is equipped with at least 140 sailors. Although the maneuverability of the opponent's warship is not as fast as your own, it can't stand the opponent's large number of people!

The two rushed to the deck at a very fast speed, and Donahue didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed Bartholomew out of the captain's cabin. He didn't dare to stay in the captain's cabin alone at such a time.

The emergency assembly post on the deck has never stopped. Bartholomew boarded the deck and immediately climbed to the watchtower on the mast. The watchtower on the stern tower was too short to meet his needs. Only the watchtower on the mast could be the best. Watch the enemy carefully.

The man's figure was slender and strong, and in just a few short breaths, he quickly climbed up to the observation tower like a nimble ape, and he took out the telescope from his waist to observe quickly.

It was similar to what Kun had reported to him before.

It was a two-masted sailing ship with the flag of the British Empire fluttering on the mast, and dense crowds of human heads walked back and forth on the opposite deck. Bashalomyu squinted his eyes subconsciously. It seemed that there were quite a few people on the other side.

Their fleet is about to approach the Cape of Good Hope, which is a colony of the British Empire. It is not surprising that their cruise fleet sails in this sea area, but here he only saw the figures on the deck, but did not see the inside of the cabin. The shadow in front of the fort.

In a general warship, there are two layers of cabins under the deck, which are used for firing cannons. Except for a few turrets on the deck, there are figures filling ammunition, but there is no figure of Basalomew on the two floors below. .

Why is that?

Bartholomew's thoughts turned quickly and he pondered seriously.

"The only possibility is that the ship is running out of ammunition, so until now, I haven't seen the crew go to the fort below the cabin. This may be because they fought with other pirates before they met us... ...then the ammunition is almost exhausted..." The closer the two fleets got closer, the firmer Bashalomyu's thoughts became.

Moreover, regardless of whether the opponent had a fierce battle with other pirates before or whether the ammunition was insufficient, the opponent was just a brig with only a dozen cannons, and he was driving a ship with 28 cannons. Three-masted ships, there are enough reasons to fight face-to-face with each other!

It's really a narrow road for enemies!

Based on what happened yesterday, they and Liang Zi of the British Navy were settled!

Facing the approaching British Royal Navy warship, Bathalomew grinned at the corner of his mouth and shouted loudly: "Do you want to avenge yesterday?! Take up your weapons if you want revenge! Fill your ammunition! ! We are ready to fight immediately!"

"What are you ready to fight?" All the crew members were shocked. The pirates took the initiative to fight the Royal Navy?

They have stayed on the pirate island for so many years, and they have never heard of such a thing!Even Blackbeard and the pirate prince Bellamy took the initiative to avoid the Royal Navy!

People do not fight with officials.

This kind of thinking starts from the moment everyone is born and is planted in their hearts.

Even after becoming a pirate, they are also afraid of the imperial army. How can ordinary people like them have the qualifications to contend with the empire?

What's more, most of them have never forgotten their desire to make a lot of money and return to their hometown after becoming pirates.If I fight against the Imperial Navy here and anger them, will I be able to go back in the future?

Being surrounded by the opponent and fleeing is not the same concept as actively attacking the opponent.

"Captain, are we really going to take the initiative?" Palu and Kun asked seriously, frowning.

Most of the faces of the other pirates were also not very good-looking, most of them were worried.

"Of course!" Bartholomew nodded.

"Everyone, think about the humiliation yesterday, and think about it again, why can we only be chased by the navy? Why can't we resist?" Basha Lomeo said with a cold face and deep eyes, "Think about the fact that we were chased by the navy before." The Portuguese ambushed, and the funeral captain Davis! Think about how we were chased by the navies of various countries when our fleet’s combat effectiveness was extremely backward on weekdays, why can’t we resist?”

Many pirates heard Barthalomew's words and fell into deep thought.

Bartholomew glanced around from the corner of his eye, and continued without waiting for everyone to open their mouths: "In the empire, stealing a silver coin means going to the gallows. It is also stealing. Why don't we steal more wealth? We are at sea. With a rich income, food and a happy life, freedom and power, and no need to worry about debts, the worst result is to accept the contemptuous eyes of others when you go to the gallows."

"Everyone escaped the oppression of the nobles and the oppression of the farmers, don't you want to live a truly free life? Live according to your own will!"

"The navy killed our crew and ambushed our old captain! They drove us around like dogs, shouldn't we resist? Find our own dignity with our fists like a man! Knowing that dignity does not come out of women! Nor does it come out in casinos or bars after drinking and drinking!"

"We don't have the rights of the nobility, so fight it out with your fists!"

The resounding voice of Bartholomew, like a burst of bells, rang in everyone's hearts. No one had ever said such a thing to them. In their minds, pirates were a job for immediate enjoyment. When they grew enough Money, you can lead your wife and children to live a happy life, and then live like this for the rest of your life!

No one told them that the real happiness is not just a life of drunkenness and dreaming on the pirate island!There are more important things, and that is to regain their own dignity that they lost back then!

"Whether it is the imperial nobles or the farmers, they have never regarded us as human beings. Why do you still want to go back to the original empire? If there is no money, if there is no capital, then we go back now, just like we didn't before. Regardless of any difference, no one will treat us as human beings!"

"But we fought today not only to avenge yesterday's revenge! But also let the group of self-righteous nobles look at us and underestimate our price!"

"As for the wanted orders from the Empire, after we wiped them all out, who would know that we did this?"

Basalomew's last words moved some of the timid pirates in the pirate group, and many of them blushed even more, gearing up for a big fight.

The captain is right, as long as the group of marines opposite them are all wiped out, who would know that they did these things?

Before they were forced to become pirates back then, they would never forget that kind of humiliation!Now that they have strength, how can they escape with their tails between their legs like this?

The pirates' eyes were burning.

But Kun frowned tightly, and analyzed rationally: "Captain, you are right in what you said. When we are capable of counterattack, we should indeed counterattack, but now the opponent's navy has more people than us. There is a possibility that the plan will fail."

The sailors on the British Royal Navy ship are all carefully selected elite soldiers, not inferior to pirates like them who have been wandering at sea all year round. Now that the opponent has more crew than them, such a battle may be a bit dangerous.

"Don't worry." Bartholomew raised his binoculars and stood on the observation deck of the stern tower to look at the warship facing him again. "Sometimes, fighting is not just about having a lot of people!"

"The artillery on their ships is much less than ours, and none of them are long-barreled guns with the longest shooting distance. Everyone's shooting distance is about 150 yards. Skilled gunners can shoot up to 200 yards against the wind. We shoot downwind, shoot The distance must be farther than them!"

"We have only experienced one battle on the ship these days, and the consumption of ammunition is not much, which is enough for us to support the full attack of the 28 artillery pieces!" Basha Lomeo raised the corner of his mouth and pointed at the opposite warship. , "Do you still remember the time when the Spanish Armada wanted to besiege the British Royal Navy fleet?"

"At that time, the warships of the Armada were the largest warships in all empires! A ship weighed more than 2000 tons! Not only were there more ships in the Spanish Empire than the British Royal Navy, but they were also several times larger! Much more than the UK."

"But under such circumstances, the Royal Navy defeated the Armada with artillery fire! Tell the world that battles in this world are not just battles between people!"

"That's why I worked so hard to get so many cannons from Byron!"

"Defeat the Royal Navy! Let them and those guys be as good as us!" All the pirates got excited and raised their guns to act!

The blond boy standing on the deck had a slight glint in his eyes, as if he had witnessed history at this moment.

The author has something to say: PS, it seems weird not to fight the Royal Navy, but the pirates at that time were basically under the banner of serving Her Majesty, so they usually tried every means to avoid the Royal Navy. The Navy, unless cornered, would not wage war on the Royal Navy.Bartholomew is one of the many pirates who attacks the navy and the ports of European empires all the year round. There is a big difference between the port and the port of the European empire, and the military equipment is not at the same level.), so it was able to earn a lot of wealth in just four years.

So far on the reference ~! (づ￣3￣)づ╭
