Chapter 117

With the paralysis of brig's sailboat, Lorraine grasped the rhythm of the battle for the first time.

He waited for this opportunity for a long time, so when he saw the main mast lying down in the distance, he couldn't wait to order the golden deer to turn its rudder and meet its side to the target.

The twelve pound guns on the main deck and the eighteen pound guns in the gun cabin roared one after another, throwing sky high shells at the enemy ship like hitting a fixed target.

The Gunners showed impressive accuracy and proficiency.

In just three or four minutes, the side guns completed three rounds of volley, almost all the shells fell within 100 meters around the enemy ship, and three shells hit directly.

A shell fell on the bow of the ship, drilled through the gap in the hull, lifted half of the bow, and the fire was huge.

A shell landed on the main deck and tore out a big pit on the main deck, burning a large area of scorched black, which looked ferocious and terrible.

There was also a thick angle between the main deck and the ship's rib, which was directly crashed out and brought down the half side guardrail, making the appearance of the whole ship more desolate.

Lorraine pursed her lips and said nothing.

It's only a matter of time before you sink the Briggs.

With the Briggs in danger, not only the viper's attack became fierce, but also brigantin in the distance raised his sails for the first time and rushed towards the battlefield.

The battle has reached an inflection point.

The black mamba pirates have played their cards, but the situation is good for Lorraine.

Amy fillard had earlier left brigantin, who was watching the wind, at the downwind near the main route. When the wind is up, the ship's wind adaptability is no matter how good. It takes at least two hours to cross the distance of more than 20 kilometers to join the battle.

In these two hours, Lorraine had to face only a fixed target that had lost its ability to evade, as well as the bog modified ship of the viper.

such a chance must not be missed!

He stretched out his hand to drag a sailor and ordered in a deep voice: "tell acharin that he only needs the minimum manpower to drive the viper. His first priority is to sink the brig type opposite. The faster, the better!"

"Yes!"

"Mr. Drake!" Katrina, who had been silent for a long time before the sailor set out to give orders, suddenly made another sound.

Lorraine looked at it curiously. "Does Ms. dipo have any suggestions?"

"Yes!"

Katrina's suggestion was refreshing. She actually proposed to bomb the Briggs without sinking. At the same time, she relaxed the drive of the viper and gave Amy ferrard a chance to meet the ship

Lorraine's eyes brightened as he listened: "you mean..."

"From the perspective of Black Mamba, the golden deer is invaluable. He is not willing to sink the golden deer. What's more, the connection can stop your shelling and save brig opposite. Therefore, even if he takes some risks, philad has a high sounding reason to convince the sailors."

"And from your point of view..." Katrina stared at Lorraine with beautiful eyes. "You must admit that your ship can't catch up with the viper, and there's no suitable means for brigantin who's going to fight."

"Similarly, you can't escape. You are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of ship flexibility and familiarity with the sea area. Once the pursuit and escape situation is formed, the heavy bow gun of the Viper will cost you and your crew dearly."

"Your only chance to win is to catch the side. Since you can't catch him, why don't you try to let him take the initiative to catch you?"

Katrina raised her hand and pointed to the brig boat trapped in the fog.

"You have two hours, ready-made bait and rich chips. The only question is whether you are willing to put these ferocious pirates on the deck of the golden deer?"

"I hate trouble, but you gave me a troublesome idea that I can't refuse..." Lorraine suddenly took out a knife and cut the rope on Katrina with a hook. "Noah, return Ms. dipo's short sword to her and borrow a stabbing sword for her. No one can guarantee absolute safety when the deck is chaotic."

……

The golden deer began a covert adjustment.

The first step in the adjustment was self damage. At the request of Lorraine, acharin chose the hull of a gun gate on the port side and blasted from the inside when the Viper fired, opening a rather desolate hole.

Smoke billowed inside the opening, and the artillery on both sides tilted and overturned, as if they had been shot solidly, causing casualties to sailors and misfiring at the gun door.

The snake hunt was launched.

Through the hatch connecting the gun cabin and the stern cabin, half of the Gunners were transferred out, with a total of 60 people, including the whole fire gun team and 20 brave sailors with good fighting skills. They were led by Wang Ye, Noah and Katrina, the double sword female knight who temporarily joined the golden deer.

But the golden deer's firepower did not weaken significantly.

The Gunners on the main deck were transferred to the gun cabin, leaving only about 20 people responsible for ship operation on the deck. It seems that the gun cabin suffered heavy losses after direct attack and is in urgent need of reinforcement.

Each artillery squad needed to be responsible for three guns. In the face of the ten brig guns, half of the port and stern guns continued to fire. As a result, the fire density of the golden deer decreased sharply and the hit rate fell to an appalling level.

Ten minutes later, four rounds of shelling, only one shot hit the brig type, ignited the stern sail, and the shells towards the Viper flew aimlessly, which could no longer drive away.

The Viper made an approach by grasping the gap between the shelling. A shrapnel was sent to the main deck of the golden deer, injuring two sailors and howling.

Lorraine felt that this attempt should make Amy fillard make up his mind

In another twenty minutes, turning twice, pierce shouted from the tip of the mast, "barg! No change of direction! Ready for connection!"

"Fixed!" Lorraine jumped to the main mast in a few steps, clutching the cable on the ground, "lock the steering wheel, lower the sail and prepare for the war!"

Boom!

The hull shook violently. The Viper went up from the side of the golden deer and hit the port side of the golden deer heavily with its side. Debris and residual wood flew around, and the two large ships leaned against each other.

Black and dirty pirates gathered on the deck of the viper, headed by the three officers Lorin had seen in bashiba town.

Under his command, hook lines were thrown out and hooked on the deck and side of the golden deer.

The sailors of the golden deer gave up operating the ship and gathered behind Lorraine one by one. They were sparse, holding swords and nervously waiting for war.

The two big ships began to drift away and were driven by the sea waves. They were caught by dozens of hooks and ropes only one meter away.

The heavy planks were put up, and more than a dozen pirates pulled the cable from the high yard, barking and swinging through the gap.

Ten, twenty, until seventy or eighty

The third mate of the Viper boarded the golden deer, looked at Lorraine and the less than 20 sailors behind him, and said with a grim smile, "meet again, Mr. captain of bashiba town. I don't know how your miss Isabella is?"

"You'll see her soon." Lorraine licked his lips and raised his long knife. "Musketeers, kill!"
