At the moment of seeing the black flag, the pirates on the island felt a tearful feeling.
Just nine days ago, they had witnessed the end of the day, and a black flag was burning on the sea.
Nassau's greatest pirate captain, Black Prince Sam, died, Swordfish sank, Vinda sank, Warrior sank ... Everywhere was mourning and screaming, the navy slaughtered their companions as if they were killing livestock All this is like a nightmare that has been hanging on their hearts.
This is the most painful failure of the pirates in Nassau history, and it is also the reason why the atmosphere on the island has become increasingly depressed for so many days.
At this moment, these men who had been through hundreds of battles really lost all their hopes, and even a little fear of the figures wearing red shirts.
Until the emergence of Jackdaw, the black flag flying on the mast seemed to be sworn to the opposite navy, this sea does not belong to any country or anyone, it still cares for all the warriors chasing freedom.
Walden brought someone to wrap the pirates' dumplings, and of course he would not make such a mistake again. He stopped the Kent outside the harbour. This place was enough to monitor the pirate movement on the island and also to prevent the crisis from outside the island.
So when the Jackdaw appeared, the sailors on board discovered the enemy as soon as possible.
Chris put down the copper telescope in his hand and couldn't believe it, "How is this ... how could they dare to come back ?!"
In fact, Chris did not support the search. He was not worried about the dangers of leaving only one ship on Cockatoo Island, but according to the severe weather at that time, the Jackdaw was very likely to have It sank in the torrential rain, but Walden insisted on the iron blood principle that no ship pirates would let go.
And anyway, everyone is waiting outside Parrot Island. It is better to use this time to search for Jackdaw. Even if some wreckage is found to prove that the latter has been sunk, they can get a part of the merits. Therefore, no one finally opposed this plan.
Chris didn't know how Jackdaw survived the storm, and how the latter avoided the search vessels outside and sneaked around to Parrot Island.
And now it seems that the status of the other party is also very different from when he left, and it is menacing, and there is no more embarrassment when he fled with his tail.
Walden's face was somber. "Let them escape with luck before. If you come back then don't leave. Raise the sail. We will meet them."
"Yes." Chris was ashamed of the panic that flashed in his mind before. As the Royal Navy, there was no reason to back off at this time. Although the Jackdaw on the opposite side was also a warship, under the same firepower How could the military be afraid of a group of pirates.
At the same time, Billy on the other side was nervously watching the movement on the opposite side. When the Kent moved, he said, "The guy named Ford didn't seem to lie, and the commander of the other side was a very arrogant person."
"Considering his previous resume and record, he did have pride. It is said that he was responsible for a lot less piracy in a sea area than elsewhere."
"Why?" Harry asked aside.
"Because the pirates there were hanged by him." Zhang Heng said lightly.
Harry heard the words in his heart, but of course he tried to squeeze out a fearless smile.
The red-haired girl is the most familiar with this product. I still don't know that he is actually afraid of death now. He can't help rolling his eyes. Before each battle, this guy is the most active. He keeps fighting for her, but waits for him. After his wish was really realized, it was very real.
However, Annie is not in charge of him now either, Zhang Heng said, "Ready to fight, remember, our ammunition reserves are not enough for them, and wait for our two sides to get close enough before firing."
"Understand." Billy nodded.
Zhang Heng then asked, "How is the Musketeer preparing?"
"Already in place, ready to attack," Annie replied, staring at the row of musketeers on the side of the ship.
Zhang Heng deliberately learned the commander of the fleet, Walden, from Ford, studied the opponent's previous resume and combat habits, and knew that the latter was a hardliner in the navy. His fighting style was as tough as his temper.
I like to fight closely with enemy ships. This is the most battle-testing method of courage. There is no clever trick. Who is the real warrior and who is a coward?
And this is exactly the intention of Zhang Heng. The gunpowder reserve on the Jackdaw itself is not as good as the Kent. If the other party tries first, they can't fight back in order to save ammunition. It is a loss if they go straight to the theme. Trouble.
But Walden dared to choose such a dangerous fighting method for his own reasons.
In addition to a group of outstanding gunners, his musketeers are also very disciplined. When the distance between the two sides is close to seventy, or even forty meters, the musketeers on board can also participate in the attack.
With strong firepower, Walden can often suppress the opposite deck at the first time, causing damage to the opposite side and mastering the initiative, which is why he is invincible.
He had only failed twice in previous records. His opponent was a French battleship with nearly twice as many artillery on board, and one time he was attacked from behind.
But this time he knew the Jackdaw, which was the former glory, and knew that the other side would not have reinforcements, so he could calm down on both sides, and approached to a distance of almost 50 meters before turning. The side is relatively fast ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Zhang Heng's fastest action, grabbed the first wave of attack opportunities, the Jackdaw fired a great masterpiece, this round of bombardment of the Kent was strong, but this also reflects the gunner on board The quality of the attack came, no one panicked under the attack, the injured person was carried to the infirmary as soon as possible, and the rest launched a counterattack in accordance with the order.
At the same time, Walden ’s most trusted musket team can finally come in handy. With Chris ’order, the musketeers in red shirts have pulled the trigger, but what they did n’t expect was the pirates. However, the side was well prepared. The wooden boards removed from the Miranda were not used up. The remaining part was used as a shield by the pirates and stood up to block the bullets.
When the sound of gunfire on the opposite side became sparse, the pirates fired back from the gap between the boards.
At this time, it is not important who comes to the helm. Zhang Heng gave the rudder to a sailor, and he himself joined the battle. Zhang Heng lv2's shooting skills once again played a role. In this battle, he prepared for himself. Six muskets, and three others followed him to fill him with gunpowder and bullets.
It took Zhang Heng only three minutes to kill the gunmen on the observatory on the opposite side, and also killed the two officers on the opposite side. Unfortunately, Walden was very alert and realized that there was a sharpshooter on the opposite side and he stopped showing his head.
