My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 331 Battle of the Ships

With the rapid advance of the ship, Gervais finally saw the appearance of the island. All around the island are rock walls, which are full of dense forests and woods. There are flocks of seabirds flying and playing.

This island is not small, Gervais and the others have been exercising close to the island for more than 20 minutes, and it is roughly estimated that the diameter of the island is at least seven or eight kilometers.

The sea boats have circled the island for half a circle, but there is still no trace of the pirate ship, and no place to dock the ship, because it is still a steep cliff.

“Lear, have you ever landed on this island before!”

Even if the remaining pirate ships are not on this island, Gervais actually wants to board it and see, this island is far from the storm. The disease is not far away, and the straight-line distance is less than twenty nautical miles.

If there is fresh water or other valuable materials on it, Gervais can take it for himself.

After all, these islands are all unclaimed land, so there is no need to worry about any disputes.

Now that they have been around the island for half a circle, they have not found a suitable place to land, which makes Gervais a little disappointed. If there is no suitable berthing place, then I will definitely want to land on this island in the future. is inconvenient.

“Sir, we have never landed before, and this is the first time we have come to the Sea Territory here. There is no trading port here, and merchant ships will not pass through here, so Wright always brings We are operating on the waterway on the coast of Larkin’s Land.”

Hearing Lille’s answer, Gervais did not continue to exit, but looked forward.

In front of it is a protruding cliff, at least ten meters high, and the waves hitting the cliff look extremely spectacular.

As the ship sailed past this corner cliff, the scenery ahead suddenly became brighter.

There are no towering rock walls in front, but a concave harbour with a white sandy beach of 400 to 500 meters in the harbour.

“There’s a ship ahead! There’s a ship ahead!”

The eager shout came from the mast, but he didn’t need to shout, Gervais and the others saw the front too scenario.

More than a hundred meters away from the beach, more than 10 pirate ships are parked in a row in the harbor, and not far from the pirate ship, there are more than a dozen small wooden ships working hard. Moved towards the pirate ship from the beach.

“Quick! Dock directly to the pirate ship!”

At this moment, Gervais was extremely excited. From the view of the dozen or so small wooden boats, the number of these pirates was not many, the largest no more than one hundred people.

The most important thing is that instead of staying on the ship, they set up camp on the beach, which is the best chance for Gervais to take all the pirate ships.

While shouting, Gervais quickly moved towards the stern and came to Lille’s side. At this moment, Gervais’ long sword has been unsheathed.

“Yes…Yes, my lord!”

Lear saw Gervais pull out his long sword, he didn’t dare to neglect, he quickly turned the wheel, and moved towards those who were anchored in the The pirate ship in the sea quickly approached.

“Tell the boats behind that everyone is ready to board! If the little wooden boats try to board, shoot the pirates on those boats with bows and arrows!”

Gervais sees Lille and Without playing tricks, his own large ship quickly approached the nearest pirate ship with the help of the wind, so he moved towards the observer on the mast loudly shouted.

He only had five sea ships in total. If he didn’t quickly control the ten pirate ships, after the pirates on the small wooden boats boarded the ship, it would not be so easy to catch up.

The pirate ship is no better than the merchant ship. The merchant ship is very easy to be overtaken by pirates because it is full of cargo and slow to move at a deep draft.

And the pirate ship simply had no goods except for living materials. The ship was light and fast and ran into the sea, and there was simply no way to get them.

This world doesn’t have cannons, this thing, only longbows at long distances, so don’t expect to be able to sink them at long distances.

“Everyone, prepare to fight! After getting close to the pirate ship, leave ten people on this ship, and all the others jump on the opposite ship! Quickly control the pirate ship, if anyone resists, immediately Kill!”

“Quick!”

As Gervais’ voice fell, Gervais’ ship finally approached the nearest pirate ship.

At this moment, there are three pirates on the pirate ship who are turning the winch with horror on their faces, trying to retract the anchor in the sea.

Dong~

Finally, with the hull of the hull, the sides of the two ships collided. When the hull swing stopped, Ike and the others stabilized their bodies, Then he lifted up the gangway that had been prepared a long time ago and added it.

This world naval battle is basically a gang battle, and pirate ships exist specifically to plunder merchant ships, so there is no shortage of gang ladders on board.

This kind of gangway is actually a single-plank bridge, but two iron bent hooks are installed at one end of the single-plank bridge. When the gangway is connected, the hooks can be firmly fixed to the enemy’s side , without worrying about moving or being pushed off the boat by the other party.

After Ike and the others set up five wooden ladders one after another, everyone pulled out their long swords and quickly jumped onto the pirate ship using the wooden ladders.

“Surrender without killing!”

In order to save time as much as possible, Gervais directly shouted the slogan of persuading surrender. Now save one more minute, maybe we can capture one more ship. ferry.

“We surrender! We surrender! Don’t kill us!”

The three pirates of the pirate ship were just turning the winch, waiting for Ike and the others to set up the gangway and board the ship , they reluctantly gave up to retract the anchor, and leaned against the other side of the ship’s side with weapons cowering in horror.

After hearing Gervais’ words of persuasion to surrender, such as the amnesty, without thinking about it, he dropped his weapon without the slightest hesitation, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The next thing is much simpler, Ike and the others quickly stepped forward and found a rope to tie the three to the mast. The first pirate ship was given to Gervais with no difficulty. captured.

“Leave five people to watch this ship! The others are back on board, and we’ll move on to the next one!”

Seeing that the pirate ship fell into his hands, Gervais even more Excited, quickly moved towards Ike and the others ordered.

This pirate ship is closest to Gervais’ ship, but it is also the farthest from the coast, so the small wooden boats that the pirates rode on from the very beginning did not row here, but moved towards the other end. Several sea boats quickly rowed away.

“Lear, hurry up, don’t worry about the ships in the middle, just move towards the one where the pirates are landing, don’t let them run away!”

at this time , a small boat in front has already leaned on the pirate ship, and those pirates have already started to board the pirate ship. Gervais hurriedly came down to Lille. If the pirate successfully set sail, it would definitely take a lot of effort to catch up. .

In Gervais’ view, these pirate ships have now become his own spoíls of war, how could he be willing to let them escape.

“Yes, sir!”

Lear hurriedly urged Gervais to wait for Ike and the others to take back the gangway. After the sailors adjusted the sails, they hurriedly moved towards The one over there rushed away.

whiz whiz whiz!

Under Lear’s helm, Gervais and the others directly skipped the pirate ship docked in the middle and came to the other end. There were at least twenty pirates registered on the pirate ship here.

When the two ships were dozens of meters apart, the pirates on the pirate ship also discovered Gervais’ move, and immediately began to attack Gervais and them with long bows!

“Fight back! Shoot those pirates who raise their sails first, and then shoot those longbowmen!”

There are not many longbowmen on the other side’s boat, only four or five longbowmen , although most of the arrow feathers were shot on the deck, the rustling simply couldn’t do any damage to Gervais and them.

On the other hand, Gervais had 10 slave longbowmen on board, plus Ike’s seven guards.

whiz whiz whiz!

Bang peng~ peng~!

Got the order of Gervais, the slave longbowmen and Ike and the others quickly returned fire, and instantly more than ten arrow feathers and lead fired from arquebuses Maru moved towards the pirate ship dozens of meters away.

“Ah!”

Although the ship is a little bumpy, for a slave longbowman, such a close distance is nothing, and a round of arrow feathers is taken away. More than a dozen pirates on a pirate ship.

However, most of the lead shots shot by Ike and the others fell into the air and hit the side of the pirate ship, causing a lot of sawdust.

“Longbowmen continue to suppress, Ike, you guys are ready to take on the boat!”

“Lear, just lean over!”

Originally there were only thirty The pirate ship with no people was shot down in an instant, and the pirates on the ship could no longer calm down. They began to take over the pirates who fell to the ground and wanted to continue to raise the sails.

Boom~

Unfortunately, all this was in vain. With a distance of tens of meters, under the blowing of the sea breeze, Gervais’s ship collided fiercely in a few seconds. on the pirate ship.

“Kill!”

Ike and the others quickly set up to pick up the gangway and rushed up.

“Surrender and do not kill! Surrender and do not kill!”
