v2 Chapter 208： Contest (1/2)

Jackdaw and Swordfish both raised the black flag at the first moment and rushed towards the Spanish treasure ship in the distance.

Zhang Heng and they were closer to the treasure ship, but soon the swordfish speed was faster, and they quickly caught up from the back. However, the full canvas Luke lowered the speed again, basically the same as the Jackdaw. They obviously didn't want to rush too far forward, so that the firepower across would all fall on them.

In the end, the two ships were separated by a distance of about 200 meters. This is a distance that can support each other without losing flexibility because they are too close.

At this time, the three Spanish sailing boats opposite it also found the enemy. They immediately lowered their speed, then raised the hull horizontally and set the standard combat posture.

Billy and Annie were also standing on the deck now, looking at the giant object not far away, and everyone's face involuntarily revealed the solemn color.

The information that the black prince received before is very accurate, but some things are heard in the ears, and what they see is another thing. This is the second giant that Zhang Heng saw after entering the copy. Vessel, the size of this Spanish treasure ship is only slightly smaller than the pride of the British Royal Navy, the Caribbean overlord Scarborough.

The shape of the Jackdaw's warship has been very oppressive with ordinary merchant ships, but it is a little too embarrassing to get on this Spanish treasure ship.

”Are we really going to fight this kind of thing after a while?” A new gunner on the deck couldn't help but said.

”It's not a crossfire, as long as it attracts its attention and lures it to Parrot Island, there will naturally be four ships lying there to deal with it,” Difraina explained.

However, his words did not give people much peace of mind. Many people looked at the dense gun barrels and swallowed saliva. In contrast, the old people who participated in the Scarborough War were better at this time. On many.

Fifteen minutes later Jackdaw had entered the opponent's shelling range, but the opposite remained calm.

Not only were Zhang Heng and Billy unhappy, they looked more dignified.

Because this means that their opponents are difficult to deal with this time, the common mistake made by newcomers is to rush the gun as soon as the other party enters the attack range, thinking that this can grab two more rounds of attack. Every gun has a firing limit. The continuous firing will cause the barrel to overheat quickly, and you must wait for it to cool down before you can continue to use it.

The first rounds of artillery shells fired are generally difficult to hit the opponent. Even if they are lucky, they will not cause much damage. Therefore, a truly experienced commander will wait for the opponent to enter the real effective killing range. Can fire.

In other words, once the opposite side fires, the destructive power it brings is often amazing.

”Do you have to go any further?” Billy asked, and each time the Jackdaw progressed further, the danger it faced would increase.

”Not yet.” Zhang Heng shook his head. ”Although they can't hurt us at this distance, it is also very difficult for us to cause trouble for them. Once they fire, we will not be able to approach them again. Now that they are Give us a chance, then we will move closer. ”

The Swordfish next door obviously had the same idea, so there was no sign of slowing down.

The three Spanish sailing boats on the opposite side were able to sink their breath, so it was impossible to fire.
