The sound made everyone get up from the darkness. Lin Haoming went to the command room, Gao Qing, who was responsible for this place, pointed to the west and said, "I can't see that direction yet, do you have to lean over? The direction is just against the wind, and it may take us a little time in the past."

"Let's go." Lin Haoming said decisively.

Since Lin Haoming had already given the order, the ship immediately went towards the sound.

In fact, according to Lin Haoming's judgment, the cannon sound was probably twenty or thirty kilometers away, because there was no stop at the sea, and everything could be transmitted far away.

The ship turned around, and everyone was ready for combat. Looking at the people under his command, although they were a little lazy before, they could still get nervous when there was a real emergency. This made Lin Haoming feel somewhat relieved. If he was still lazy now, it would be really troublesome.

After sailing for half an hour, you could hear the sound of cannons from time to time, and the sound became more and more obvious. Finally, at this time, Zhang Zhili, who climbed the watchtower, shouted to the bottom: "I saw the fire, which is almost twenty kilometers away from here."

"So far!" After hearing this, Xu Yan, who came here, couldn't help but guzzled in surprise.

"It should be that the other party was sailing, otherwise the voice had been too far before." Gao Qing guessed.

Lin Haoming also nodded and said, "It should be so. We have not met anyone yet. Now we are finally going to meet someone. We can be considered to be able to figure out the situation here."

"The other party came earlier than us, so it wouldn't be much stronger than us, right?" Yang Huan asked without any fear.

Accompanied by Lin Haoming's order, the ship adjusted its direction again and headed towards the small boat. Perhaps because of the huge gap in strength, it would not be possible that there would be no battle for too long. Everyone was excited. The ship itself was not at a distance. After half a big time, they needed to stand under the watchtower and see the pursuit target in the command room.

Although everyone was not very interested, they followed Lin Haoming through the sea of ​​corpses and fire. Before a panic, many people also ended their efforts.

When panicked, Lin Haoming whispered again: "No one, slow down the speed. We must pay attention to the artillery fire, accelerate the rush for you, and prepare the gunner."

The artillery was indeed not a certain distance, but the difference was small. Lin Haoming ordered the acceleration again, and the people on the oars were really desperate. And to some extent, Lin Haoming was unlucky. Was the sails damaged by the artillery fire? As the ship accelerated again, it finally retreated into the range.

"Roar down." Lin Haoming continued his orders politely, and then the threatened people seemed to have returned to their original life-threatening appearance, and the battle situation was completely upright towards Lin Haoming.

With the addition of manpower, the ship's speed slowed down a little. In fact, the ship's original navigation speed seemed to be slower than the other party, but now it is getting closer to the other party even slower.

"It's a boat, two boats are exchanging fire, one boat chases the other one and fights." Zhang Zhili continued to shout at the top of him and what he saw.

As the hull of the other ship suddenly exploded violently, everyone realized that the other party had suffered a severe injury. At that time, Lin Haoming finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Can you judge the size of these two boats?" Lin Haoming asked again.

"It seems to be Hanhu, but from the shadow, it should be as young as you are." Zhang Zhili shouted.

"This slightly smaller one is of eight sails, with a length of eighty to ten meters. You can only judge that few." Zhang Zhili responded after a while.

"Touch!" At that time, the boat had not opened fire, but the other party's ship opened fire first. As soon as the fire was opened, the artillery became fierce. In the first round of design, a few shells exploded under the deck.

With the bombardment within range, Lin Haoming's advantage was revealed as soon as he stepped up. Two rounds before, Lin Haoming's opponent's sail broke and his speed increased instantly.

Lin Haoming gave the order, and immediately, in addition to the sails, some people also finished stepping on the oars. The oars of the boats were rowing by hand, but were as labor-saving as bicycles, and the speed was slower.

"How is the other ship?" Lin Haoming continued to ask.

Lin Haoming said that, which made me nod. It is true that the size of 700 people is not without absolute strength under the sea.

At that time, Xu Yan also suggested again: "As soon as you finish, you will be far away from each other. You will continue to rise at that speed. It is estimated that you will have to catch up to the range of artillery fire at dawn. Captain, you see, it will save energy if you let the small family take turns."

"Yes, but the other party's ship is less than 2800 people, and it's even less likely that there are not so few, and perhaps there are only 100 people." Xu Yanguo said.

"Actually, your ship is full. The ship can have at most four hundred people, and you are just half of them." Lin Haoming reminded.

Lin Haoming also sighed. I did think about chasing the big ship several times after that, but Xu Yan insisted. Lin Haoming finally returned the deal with it. Now it seems that he still has to be cautious. Before those people followed him to the outside world, they were really indifferent.

Low Qing personally supervised the artillery. As Lin Haoming issued an order again, the cannons of small boats also flickered, and the sparse artillery instantly covered the opponent's ships.

"The displacement of your ship is not at most 4,000 to 10,000 tons. The displacement of a ship of 810 meters is one or two thousand tons less. It is far from you. No wonder you run away when you see you. Captain, you suggest that you can only chase one and chase the smaller one." Xu Yan said with a smile.

"The range of the other party's artillery is farther than yours." As the ship swayed, Xu Yan screamed in shock. Obviously, the matter was beyond my expectations.

Xu Yan was very persistent, and the big ship could carry dozens of people as low as possible, which was indeed even more disparity. So Lin Haoming also decided to say, "Bad, chase the boat."

Just as the ship was getting closer and closer, Zhang Zhili suddenly shouted to the top: "Captain, the two ships stopped chasing and suddenly ran in two directions."

Lin Haoming said very much: "Listen to the dense sound of cannons, just like you. Don't forget that you have so few people coming here, which is extremely rare. They imagine that other camps can come to a few people at a time, and there are not many people, and it is impossible for them to come alone. There are only eighty-seven people in the short term. It's still not very good."

Hearing that, Lin Haoming looked at the command room and Xu Yanguo said, "It seems that the captain has a correct judgment. The other party's strength is as strong as you, so he found that your ship came and ran away."

Lin Haoming was still quite suspicious of my judgment and rejected my request. Even if the ship rotated, the pursuit speed was still fast. Sure enough, when the sky was slow and it was about to light up, it had not yet chased to the point close to the range of the artillery.
