The sailors on the Goddess Spear were overjoyed to see the infighting of the group of pirates in front of them. They were not willing to be robbed of the goods in this way.
However, to their surprise, the expressions of the two captains in front of them did not seem to be flustered. Zhang Heng didd’t expect Hutchinson will play it out. He let Anne stay on the Jackdaw. Just out of caution, because the strength of the Jackdaw lies in the artillery on board, not in the crew.
Therefore, the people left by Zhang Heng are dominated by gunners, but most of them are 20-30 years old youngsters. They do not suffer from melee combat, especially when Anne is there, and they quickly gain the upper hand. Zhang Heng also saw that Hutchinson’s raid on the Jackdaw did not really want to win the Jackdaw in one fell swoop, just to hold the latter as far as possible and avoid the Jackdaw joining the battle on the other side.
Obviously, the Vida was his real goal, but what made Zhang Heng a little surprised was that Black Prince Sam didn’t worry much at this time.
The Vida is now being hit by two ships. The situation looks very bad, but the black Prince Sam is still in a hurry to command the manpower to maintain the stability on the deck. Seeing Zhang Heng hopes that he even has a mood laughed, opened the mouth and said, “Many people say that I am the best captain of this Sea Territory, juxtaposing me with Honig and Black Beard, I can only say that they are too worthy of me.
“I started to go to sea 4 years ago. I went to Nassau a year later. At that time, I was just an unknown pawn. I met Eric as a helmsman in the tavern. Their original captain secretly withheld a part. The spoils of war originally belonged to them. After the incident was revealed, they were dismissed. I did n’t have a job at that time. They missed a captain by chance, and both of us happened to drink too much, so 2nd day morning eyes opened. I became that ship. New captain. “
Black Prince Sam paused, “I still wanted to work hard just after I became the captain. I made a lot of preparations for the first sea looting, really a lot, but unfortunately I accidentally drank the previous night Now, when I opened my eyes again, we were already fully loaded. “
“………”
“To this day, few people know that my nautical skills are actually terrible and artillery is not good. I still don’t know how to do pre-war mobilization, but even then my pirate regiment has become Nassau’s most powerful. It ’s one of the pirates, and it took less than 3 years. It ’s all because I have a group of the best men, they are willing to trust me, and I trust them fully. That ’s why we can cross 7 seas, If someone feels that I ’m not on board and despise the Vida because of this, then they will certainly pay the price. “
The black helmsman was a little embarrassed by two rounds of artillery fire. The main mast of the Vida was hit by a cannonball and fell down. The huge canvas covered many people. Most of the pirates will be after such a blow. Panic began, especially when the captain was not on the ship at this time, lacking the backbone, but the pirates on the Vida returned to their positions with the fastest speed after a short stupor.
The gunners continued to fill the shells, the boat doctors began to treat the wounded, the carpenters repaired the leaks, and even the cooks were helping to clean the deck together. The black helmsman scolded the mother while climbing up from the ground, taking off the wood chips, directing Turn the hull with the Vida.
Of course, the other two ships will not miss such a good opportunity, and the artillery becomes more fierce.
However, the sturdy hull of the Vida also played a role at this time. Under such an offensive, he was not sunk. Several carpenters on the ship flew up and down, repairing the cracks, and miraculously supported them. Then I saw the Vida taking away the auxiliary sail.
Hutchinson was a bit strange. I did n’t know what the Vida meant. The other party was now facing them with the bow and the stern, so that the side guns on the Vida were all useless. The bow and stern guns It can still be used, but this ignition power does not help at all, and lowering the sail also means that the power is lost and the situation is passively beaten.
No captain with reason will make such a choice.
As a result, he saw that the bottom of the Vader suddenly opened, stretched out two rows of paddles, and began to stir the sea water, and the Vader also rushed towards another pirate ship.
Hutchinson was shocked. Although he had heard of the name of the Vida, after all, he was not a local pirate in Nassau. The information collected was limited. I did not know that the other party was actually a paddle sail 2 boat. The black helmsman decisively ordered the sails to be retracted and replaced with oars. The Vida is now the fastest ship in the Sea Territory.
The other pirate ship apparently didn’t expect that the Vida was so stiff, posing a posture with their both sides suffer. In the past, in order to pursue the greatest damage, the two sides were very close. At this time, the ship was ordered to be transferred again. It was too late to continue firing. He wanted to sink the Vida before then, but his abacus was eventually lost.
Seeing that the two ships were about to collide, the mouth of the black helmsman’s mouth showed a smooth smile, both sides suffer? This idea is too naive.
The Vida had n’t hit the opposite side, and the pirate ship shook violently. Then the hull of the underwater cracked a big mouth, and the turbulent seawater poured into the cabin. Such a large crack was beyond the ability of the carpenter. There was no way to repair it, which also meant that the sinking was inevitable, the pirates on the deck fled in horror, and the captain was still in a daze at this time, not knowing what happened.
Hutchison, who witnessed all this in the distance, was also incredible, but he soon thought of something, lost his voice, “Collision ?!”
The angle of collision is a protrusion that is fixed to the bow to crash the enemy ship. It is usually hidden underwater (the long rod on the bow is not the angle of collision), and was widely used by ancient Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans However, in the 18th century when the popular artillery blasted, it had basically withdrawn from the stage of history. It was not until the mid-19th century that it once again ushered in a revival on the armored ship.
Hutchison didn’t expect The configuration on the Vida is so retro that it is still equipped with a collision angle that has been abandoned by other ships. If you learn this information earlier, it is not a big problem. It is good to keep the ship at a safe distance, but now they have suffered a big loss and directly lost a boat.
Hutchison doesn’t have to regret how much, but now it’s too late to say, he can only watch the other ship sink gradually, the sailors above have nowhere to go and have fallen into the water, and the Vida has turned the bow.
