The Evil Generation of Pirates

Chapter 18: Sailing (3rd update)

It is not an exaggeration to say that the current navy freshmen are a ball of loose sand. I guess they are no more than a group of desperadoes with their heads stuck in their belts.please()

It is also true that in a short period of time, only by implementing a system similar to that of the pirate group can the ship operate, so that they can effectively exert their due strength.

After two consecutive resistances were met with crushing counterattacks, the remaining students basically gave up the idea of ​​confrontation.Although many people were reluctant to be yelled at by a little-known freshman of the same level, they did not do anything extraordinary because they were afraid of his impressive strength.

Yamos began to make arrangements intensively.

The ratio of veterans to newbies is about [-]/[-].Veterans are still the most popular. They generally have combat experience and are more suitable for key positions such as combat. However, newcomers Yamos is worried that they will collapse in battle, and most newcomers are not good at manipulating canvas and other skills, making it difficult to appoint them.

In the end, the veterans and newcomers were mixed together and divided into two parts, arranged in a way where the veterans led the newcomers.

The Caesar is a light, fast ship, and its main function is actually cruise and reconnaissance.However, it was freshmen training after all. Firstly, the number of personnel was insufficient, and secondly, large warships could not be mobilized casually, so only three light warships of the same level could be dispatched.

The warship has two decks and three masts.There are fifty artillery pieces, 22 on each port and starboard side, including heavy artillery and cannon.There is one long gun and two small-caliber artillery pieces on the bow and stern decks.

This kind of firepower configuration is basically standard for a warship of this size.Among the warships in the Demon-Slaying Order that Yamos encountered two years ago, warships of that size were generally equipped with sixty to one hundred cannons, and each warship had five hundred to seven hundred naval soldiers.

A fleet of this level, in addition to spreading out when encircling an island, if it encounters pirates on the sea, as long as it is connected together to form a 'battle line', it can conduct an intensive bombardment of more than [-] rounds of artillery shells in one round. In the North Sea Basically unrivaled.

Yamos arranged for a total of 40 people to serve as gunners. Because the main firepower of the warship was concentrated on both sides of the ship, once a battle started after encountering pirates, one side of the ship would inevitably face the pirate ship and then fire.

In this case, the artillery on the other side is parked and cannot be used after all.

Therefore, if Yamos will assign 40 people as gunners, as long as there is a battle, all 40 people will lean to one side of the ship to fight.

There are only 22 artillery pieces, and 40 people work together to fire, calibrate, and load ammunition, so they can basically exert their maximum power.

In addition to being responsible for the artillery, these 40 people were also responsible for the subsequent boarding battle and the pressure during navigation.

The three warships that set sail were all three-masted sailing ships.

Yamos assigned six people to control the rudder, and they were divided into two batches, alternating day and night.Three female students who have studied medicine serve as ship's doctors, a veteran with a background as a lookout serves as a lookout, and one serves as a navigator.

30 people are responsible for controlling the halyards, sail control ropes, left and right stays, winches, etc. of the three masts and foresails.

The rest were responsible for various groceries such as pulling anchors and carrying ammunition.

When the Yamos side was just finished, the Minerva led by Smoker had already set sail.The speed is very fast, and Yamos also admires Smoker's leadership ability.

There seemed to be something going on with Hina, and some arrogant people couldn't bear to be pointed at by a woman, so conflicts broke out.

Yamos wasn't too worried. Firstly, he didn't care about his affairs, and secondly, he felt that the dissent caused by Hina's ability to calm down the ship was not a big problem.

"Raise the sails!"

A throat-breaking roar came, and the sound of the pulley mechanism sliding sounded from everywhere.The three main sails of the warship slowly rose one after another.

The navigator uses his ears to judge the direction of the wind.This is also a veteran who was born in the South China Sea. He is very good at judging the direction of the wind, letting the wind blow on his back, and then slowly turning his head back and forth to feel that his left and right ears are "balanced".

Soon he shouted: "Turn against the wind!"

The Caesar slowly turned her bow so that the wind would change from one side of the sail to the other.

"North-west! Forward crosswind!"

……

With the cooperation of all parties, although there were many small mistakes, the Caesar finally set sail.

Not long after the Caesar set off, the Saint Sal commanded by Hinai also set out. The distance between the two sides was not large, but Smog's Minerva had already gone far away, and the Caesar and the others set off half an hour late.

The ship became busy, and although things happened frequently. From time to time, someone would be hit on the foot by an ammunition box, or accidentally hit on the head by a sail yard, but it was still doing well.

"Not bad." X. Drake praised, he and Yamos stayed in the captain's cabin.

Yamos is not so relaxed now. His coming to the Caesar is also a challenge for himself. Now the ship is finally launched, but there are many problems, and he can't relax: "It's not that easy to be a captain. If I am a hands-off shopkeeper, , then the ship will be in chaos again within 10 minutes.”

"I'll leave it to you to sail the ship."

Yamos took the cigarette, his hand still trembling slightly from excitement and nervousness. When he heard x. Drake's words, he stared at x. Drake and smiled: "Don't be so stubborn, Drake."

While the two were talking, one person rushed to the captain's cabin to report the problem, saying that there was something wrong with the schooner of the last mast.

After Yamos had no time to talk to X. Drake, he followed the man to learn about the situation.

x·Drake watched Yamos go away and smiled slightly.

Navy Headquarters

"Did everyone successfully sail?" Zefa was sitting in a tavern near the dock.

"Yes, the earliest Minerva took two hours, and the latest Saint Sal took two hours and four ten minutes." Saki, the physical arts instructor who had met Yamos before, responded.

Zefa raised his head and drank a glass of beer: "Let's get ready to go. After all, it's just a freshman exam. We still have to protect the safety of these brats. If we don't catch the Burrow Pirates, we will die." Master, the boss wants to hold me accountable again.”

Semparo, the swordsmanship instructor wearing round glasses, squinted his eyes and smiled: "You are still as sharp-tongued as ever, but you are just a guy who was screened in, no matter how bad you are, you can't be any worse. Besides, Brohai The current situation of the pirate group is not as exaggerated as what you said at the time. They are just disabled drowned dogs. I believe that with their strength, it will not be a big problem to solve the Buro Pirate Group."

"Ah..." Zefa's eyes sparkled under his sunglasses, "I'm also looking forward to the performance of this freshmen class."
