Considering the difficulty of the operation, there was no need to keep it secret, so the black Prince Sam had told the five captains of the Spanish treasure ship's route the night before departure.
If Jarvis really betrayed other people, he had a chance to disclose the news to the Navy that night, and now in retrospect, his warrior was at the back of the ship for most of the voyage, which was convenient for him to communicate with the following fleet.
Plus what Harry heard, it's almost certain that they have been calculated this time, so the question now is how much time is left for them.
The human eye can normally observe ships about ten nautical miles away.
However, to be on the safe side, the fleet should follow at a distance of 20 nautical miles in peacetime, so that if the people on the island go to inform them to come and fight, it will take at least five hours at a time, so the attack time should be almost at dawn.
Zhang Heng shook his head. "I'm afraid the situation is not so optimistic. It's night, and our sight is only one or two nautical miles. They don't have to stay so far. If it's fast, the fleet can come over in less than an hour, but this is only the most extreme situation. When did you see the ship leave?"
Zhang Heng's last words were to Harry, who was shaken by the cold wind and said, "I don't know. At that time, I was very nervous and didn't pay much attention to the time, but it should have been more than half an hour since I fell off the cliff."
"That means the fleet could be in front of us at any time." Annie picked her eyebrows.
"We must inform the people on the beach quickly, otherwise we don't have to fight this battle at all. When the fleet comes, it will sink all the ships we have parked in the harbor. They don't even have to go to the island, and they can starve us to death." Difrena said solemnly.
"But it took us more than an hour to get here, and now it will take at least 40 minutes to go back." Said the redhead.
"Don't act together. I'll go back with you. The others can be a little later." As Zhang Heng spoke, he took off his coat and put it on Harry's body. He gave three of the four short muskets on them to difrenna. He only kept one of them for self-defense. In addition, he handed in the saber to reduce the load as much as possible. Annie on the other side did the same. She only left a dagger at last.
Then they ran to the beach together.
During the period when they lived together, Annie often collapsed on the chair like salted fish, and Zhang Heng didn't see that she had been exercising. However, her figure has always been very good. Every inch of her muscle is very tight, and she has incredible explosive power and strength beyond most men. Except for her chest, her body is almost perfect She doesn't really care about her breasts.
Running in the forest is like a vigorous deer.
But the endurance is indeed Annie's short board, although the red haired girl's endurance is also stronger than ordinary people, but after all, it still can't compare with Zhang Heng who has been insisting on long-distance running.
In the first ten minutes, Annie was still at the front, but then she began to fall behind, but they were almost half the distance.
Annie stopped to take a breath and said to Zhang Heng, "you go first. Don't worry about me. I'll catch up later."
Zhang Heng nodded. This is not the time to show gentlemanly demeanor. If you go to the beach one minute earlier and tell others about Jarvis's betrayal, you can make others prepare one minute earlier for the coming battle.
Zhang Heng kept his speed and breathing rhythm, running through the woods, picking the branches that were in the way with his hands.
As a result, the next moment, his ear suddenly sounded a gun without warning.
Fortunately, there is still a distance between the shooter and him. The accuracy of the musket has always been a problem. He is moving again, and this shot finally hit a small tree in his right rear. Zhang Heng fell to the ground immediately after hearing the gunshot.
He thought of the two people who had pushed Harry off the cliff before. They should be Jarvis's confidants. Zhang Heng didn't expect that they were still in the woods. They should have heard the Jackdaw calling Harry's name before. They knew the location of Zhang Heng and others and ambushed on the way back.
See Zhang Heng full run, realize that the plan may be exposed, decisive choice shot.
Zhang Heng has roughly locked the direction, looked up to see the attacker, about 20 meters away from him, one of them hiding behind the tree to aim, another is busy filling gunpowder and bullets, Zhang Heng did not hesitate to pull the trigger, the bullet accurately hit the person who is aiming.
And he also rolled up from the ground, toward the rest of the man rushed to the past, the latter saw Zhang Heng rushed, look a little nervous, the hands of the remaining gunpowder scattered more than half out, but can only throw away the hand of the musket, draw out the machete ready to fight.
When Zhang Heng is about to rush to the target, he throws a short musket that has no bullets. The guy on the opposite side blocks it with a knife. Then he is kicked on his wrist by Zhang Heng, and his machete comes out. Then Zhang Heng hits the guy's chin with a straight punch.The latter was hit by this blow, and his head was obviously a bit covered. The whole man staggered a few steps and fell to the ground. Then Zhang Heng rode on him. However, before he could make up for it, a shadow suddenly jumped from the tree and slashed him on the back.
This incident was unexpected to Zhang Heng, because Harry said that there were only two people to deal with him, and Zhang Heng immediately found the two targets after the attack, which seems to be right with what Harry said before, so he did not expect that there was a third person present, which made him a little embarrassed.
Although he leaned forward to avoid, he was still rubbed against his back by the knife and cut a hole. Fortunately, it was only skin and flesh injury. But at this time, he had to face two opponents at the same time, and he didn't have any weapons. Although Zhang Heng knew a little karate, the sword technique was the closest combat skill he had practiced for the longest time, and the fleet had it at any time Maybe he can't stay here long before he gets to the harbor.
But then he saw the familiar red and short hair in the woods. Annie came over after a short rest and said, "you go to the beach and leave it to me."
The red haired girl took out her dagger and licked her lips. "I didn't have a chance to fight before. I hope you can make me sweat a little this time."
