v2 Chapter 178： Impact angle

The sailors on the Spear of the Goddess couldn't help exulting when they saw the pirates struggling in front of them. They were unwilling to be stolen from the goods in such a way that they could not help moving.

However, to their surprise, the looks of the two captains in front of them did not seem to be very flustered. Zhang Heng did not expect that Hutchison would play this hand. He let Anne stay on the Jackdaw just to show Yu cautious, because the strength of Jackdaw lies in the artillery on board, not the crew.

Therefore, the people left by Zhang Heng are mainly gunners, but most of them are young people in their twenties and thirties. They do not suffer from close combat, especially Annie, who soon gained the upper hand. At this time, Zhang Heng also saw that Hutchison's raid on Jackdaw was not really trying to win Jackdaw in one fell swoop, but just to hold the latter as far as possible to prevent Jackdaw from joining the battle on the other side.

Obviously, Vinda was his real goal, but what made Zhang Heng somewhat surprised was that the black prince Sam was not so worried at this time.

The Veida is now pinched by two ships, and the situation looks very bad, but the black prince Sam is still commanding manpower to maintain stability on the deck. He even laughed when he saw Zhang Hengwang coming. Laughed and said, "A lot of people say that I am the best captain in this area, juxtaposing me with Honig and black beard. I can only say that they are too deserving of me.

"I only started sailing four years ago, and I arrived in Nassau a year later. At that time, I was just an unknown little puppet. I met Eric as the helmsman in the tavern, and their original captain secretly seized part of it. They belonged to their trophy and were fired after the incident was revealed. I did n’t have a job at the time. They just lacked a captain and both of us happened to drink too high. So I opened my eyes the next morning and became the ship ’s. New captain. "

The black prince Sam paused. "I still wanted to work hard just after being captain. I made a lot of preparations for the first plunder. It was really a lot. But unfortunately I I accidentally drank too much, and when I opened my eyes again, we were already full. "

"........."

"To this day, few people know that my navigation skills are actually bad, and artillery is not good. I still don't know how to mobilize before the war, but even so my pirate regiment has become the most powerful Nassau One of the pirate regiments, and it took less than three years, all because I have a group of the best men, they are willing to trust me, and I fully trust them, this is why we can cross the sea, if Some people feel that I despise the Veida because of this, and they will certainly pay the price. "

The black helmsman was a bit embarrassed by the two rounds of artillery. The main mast of Vinda was hit by a shell and fell down. The huge canvas covered many people. Most of the pirate regiments would suffer after such a blow. Began to panic, especially the captain was not on the boat at the moment, lacking the backbone, but the pirates on the Veda returned to their positions as quickly as possible after a short sting.

The gunners continued to fill the shells, the ship doctors began to treat the wounded, the carpenters repaired the leaks, and even the chefs helped clean up the deck together. The black helmsman scolded his mother while climbing up from the ground, patted the wood chips on his body, and directed Turn the hull along the Veda.

Of course, the other two ships would not miss such a good opportunity, and the artillery fire became more fierce.

However, the sturdy hull of Vinda also played a role at this time. Under such an offensive, the sampan was not sunk. Several carpenters on the boat ran up and down, repairing the cracks, and it miraculously propped up. Later, he saw that the Vida also put away the vice sail.

Hutchison was a little weird. I didn't know what the Veda meant. The other side was now facing them with the bow and stern. As a result, the side guns on the Veda lost their effect. The bow and stern guns It can still be used, but the ignition power does not help at all, and lowering the sail also means that it loses its power and completely falls into a passive beating situation.

No sensible captain would make this choice.

Afterwards, he saw that the bottom of the Veda suddenly opened, extended two rows of oars, and began to stir the seawater, while the Veda rushed towards another pirate ship.

Hutchison was shocked. Although he had also heard of the name of the Veda, after all, he was not a local pirate in Nassau. The information collected was limited, and he did not know that the other party was a paddle-sail ship. In the state of headwind, The black helmsman decisively ordered to retract the sails and switch to paddles. The Veda is now the fastest boat in this area.

The other Corsair apparently did not expect that the Veda was so fierce and put on a posture that hurt both of them. In the past, in order to pursue the greatest damage, the two sides were close. At this time, it was too late to order the ship to be turned. Can only continue to fire, want to sink the Veda before then, but his calculations are still unsuccessful.

Seeing that the two ships were about to collide, a black smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the black helmsman. This idea is too naive.

Before the Veida hit the opposite side, the pirate ship was shaken violently, and then the underwater hull cracked a large opening, and the turbulent seawater poured into the cabin. Such a large crack was beyond the scope of the carpenter's ability. It was impossible to repair, which also meant that sinking was inevitable, and the pirates on the deck fled in terror, and the captain was still aggressive at this time and did not know what happened.

Hutchison, who witnessed it all in the distance, was also a little incredible ~ www.novelhall.com ~ But he quickly thought of something, missing his voice, "Hit angle ?!"

The collision angle is a protrusion fixed to the bow to destroy an enemy ship, usually hidden under the water (the long rod on the bow is not a collision angle), and was widely used by ancient Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans However, in the 18th century, popular artillery bombardment basically withdrew from the historical stage, and it was not until the middle of the 19th century that it once again ushered in a revival on iron armored ships.

Hutchison did not expect that the configuration of the Veda was so retro, but it was still loaded with a collision angle that had been abandoned by other ships. If you learned this information earlier, this is not a big problem, as long as you keep it with the Veda It's good from a safe distance, but now they have suffered a big loss and lost a boat directly.

Hutchison didn't mention how much he regretted, but now it's too late to say anything, he can only watch as the other ship sinks, the sailors above fall into the water without any help, and the Veda has turned the bow.
