Looking at this thing, Sheyan thought for a while and asked a pirate:
"What's the name of the old guy whose hand was cut off by the one-eyed Hogg just now?"
The pirate immediately said in fear:
"I only know him as Old Sea Dog, boss!"
Sheyan nodded and said:
"Call him."
Soon, the old seal, whose face was a little pale due to blood loss, stood in front of Fang Senyan. Sheyan directly handed him the brass telescope:
"You will be our chief lookout from now on. Although the value of this item is far from enough to compensate for your loyalty and sacrifice, please do accept it!"
At this time, a large group of people had gathered around, and they all looked over with envy. The old sea dog took the telescope with trembling hands, and something seemed to be flashing in his muddy old eyes:
"This, this is a treasure that can be heirloomed, sir, I...I don't deserve your praise!"
Fang Sheyan said pleasantly:
"I am very satisfied with what you have done, so please take it with you and familiarize yourself with its functions as soon as possible, and then go to your new post. You are now the third mate on this ship, and I need you to send it every ten minutes. Someone come and report to me the situation on the sea.”
The sea wind became stronger, and all the ships lowered half of their sails. In this way, the shaking of the ship's hull became particularly violent. It seems that mysterious power is surging deep in the sea.
For Lieutenant Colonel Bass, he even wished that the hull of the ship would be more bumpy, because this would greatly increase the difficulty for those damn pirates to pick up the ship! Having already fought two bloody battles, he couldn't help but admit that these pirates' cannons and ships were very shabby, but their fearless spirit made them really difficult to deal with.
At the beginning of the battle, the three-masted "Gallen" sailboat "Richie" commanded by Old Bass took advantage of its fierce firepower and sank three pirate ships of the same tonnage in a row, at the cost of The cost was only a few hundred kilograms of gunpowder, lead bullets, and single-digit casualties.
But as the scale of the battlefield increased, the two boarding battles just now had caused at least one-third of the casualties among his young men. The most unfortunate news is that before Lieutenant Colonel Bass's boys had time to take a breath and bandage their wounds, the third boarding battle had already arrived unexpectedly.
Although the Ritchie has achieved outstanding results in sinking three ships and damaging three ships in the sea battle, Bass, who has grown older, still feels inadequate when facing a large number of pirates who come one after another. .
Suddenly, a sailor cheered:
"Good news, one of our ships is coming from the west for reinforcements!"
The sea wind is howling. If someone looks down from the sky, he can see a high-speed three-masted sailboat on the sea, riding the wind and waves, sailing from far to near, dragging a long north pole behind its stern. The line, looking at its sailing posture, is even full of fierce momentum with a fear of death!
Bass took out his telescope and took a look. Yes, it was indeed his fleet's standard three-masted "Galen" paddle-sailed ship. How could those poor pirates have the strength to purchase such a brand-new and powerful ship? So Bass, who has rich battlefield experience, immediately ordered:
"Instruct our people to immediately prepare to break away from the contracted defensive state, and wait for our friendly forces to get closer to launch a comprehensive counterattack immediately!"
The friendly ship that came riding the wind and waves quickly approached the Richie. The ecstatic sailors even braved the crazy attacks of the pirates to clear the space for them to board the ship.
However, they soon discovered to their shock and fury that the expressionless "friendly troops" who rushed onto the ship actually began to attack them crazily after they accumulated a certain number on the deck!
Immediately afterwards, a large group of ragged pirates with crazy looks emerged from the cabin of the ship. They swarmed up with excitement and screams, wielding axes, sailor knives, hammers, saws and anything else they could find.
The plan of "disrupting chaos with chaos" formulated by Fang Senyan has been fully implemented! Use your own extremely chaotic organizational system to engage in close chaos with the enemy! The plan now looks pretty good, including the Sam, the old Lancer's Ritchie being the third victim.
It is worth mentioning that after the previous battles, the pirate ships were scuttled directly, while the Royal Navy ships were driven to a designated location outside the battlefield and then anchored. Of course, the injured were also put on the departing ship for treatment.
At this time, in this chaotic sea battle, especially the battles in the outer battlefield, rarely attract the attention of the superiors. And what can the unqualified people do if they find out? It is normal for ships to leave the battlefield when they are injured. You know, although human life is cheap, building a ship is very expensive! Almost everyone has received instructions to give priority to saving ships.
Under the cruel "letter of surrender" system, a large number of British naval prisoners were also quickly and simply filled into the ranks of pirates. They were quickly rushed to the battlefield and filled into the front line, playing the role of leading the pirates. And Fang Senyan's manpower at this time seemed to be getting more and more. Although the casualties in hand-to-hand combat were extremely high, it was already close to two hundred people.
Bass roared angrily, his gold-inlaid sailor knife was already stained with blood, and even the blade of the hundred-tempered blade had a few gaps because of too much killing, but the pirates in front of him seemed to be endless and surged. And the brave sailors under his command were also caught in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.
All this was caused by those damn fake sailors! Without them, Bass would never have been able to engage in a direct attack on these pirates! The old lieutenant colonel originally wanted to surround these pirates and annihilate them, so once he found out that the pirates were not reinforcements but evil spirits, he would have to face the cruel situation of being surrounded and annihilated by others!
Suddenly, a familiar face flashed before Bass's eyes. This face had once learned swordsmanship from him, and it should have fought side by side with him, but the owner of this face was holding up his weapon with a straight face and expressionless, killing his subordinates. He suddenly roared in disbelief:
"Philip! Do you know what you are doing?"
Philip turned his head and looked at him woodenly. His numb expression made Bass feel that the pungent smell of blood in the air seemed to fade. Philip's eyes stayed on Bass's face for only 0.01 seconds, and then suddenly turned to a British sailor in front of him and shouted:
"Surrender or die!"
The sailor's answer was to slash back with a knife, so Bass saw this former colleague turn sideways, draw his knife, and slash his head, while his capable sergeant was chopped down on the deck because his step was too big, and rolled away for several meters, then lay face down and did not move, only bright red blood flowed out from under his body like a waterfall.
"No!!" Old Bass roared wildly. Suddenly, a huge force surged out of his body. The rapier in his hand stabbed into the throats of two or three enemies in front of him, and then pounced on Philip like a tiger coming down the mountain.
The old captain's swordsmanship was obviously very outstanding. His slender rapier flashed in the air and stabbed directly at Philip's right wrist. Obviously, until now, he still didn't want to hurt this colleague and proud disciple.
But Philip's sailor knife suddenly slashed horizontally, trying to block the rapier. Old Bass's arm strength was surprisingly strong. He stepped forward with an extremely agile step and pressed Philip back a step.
The two men looked at each other through the crossed and bloody blades. Old Bass said with great sorrow:
"What happened, Philip! What caused you to betray our country? Do you remember the oath you made when you joined the sailors? Put down your weapon, I will ask Colonel Norrington for your pardon!"
Philip said miserably:
"It's useless, teacher, let me tell you, Major Dacos died in my hands, Captain Madico's neck was cut by me, and Major Black Jet's chest was pierced by me. Even the Queen of England would never forgive my sins."
Old Bass felt his eyes go dark:
"What happened to you...!"
Philip laughed miserably:
"The Sam encountered a demon, and even more unfortunately, we foolishly angered him... This is our own fault. I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel Bass, I can't die in your hands now. My life does not belong to me, but to those guys who believe in me."
After speaking, Philip waved his sword and retreated. Old Bass was about to chase when he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of threat coming from the right. He hurriedly turned his hand and blocked with his sword, but suddenly felt an indescribable huge force coming from the sword.
