v2 Chapter 178: Impact angle (1/2)
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.
