A shell hit the side of the Jackdaw and fell into the water, splashing a string of water splashes, but unfortunately not at all caused substantial damage to the target.
The gunner on the Miranda annoyed and patted the bow of the ship’s bow. This was his fifth consecutive missed shot. This had never happened before. On the contrary, the Jackdaw not only escaped all The shells also hit Miranda once with the stern gun on board.
Ford could feel that the opponent in front of him had become more tricky than when he met before, just like a loach without sliding his hands.
Should I say that it is indeed the famous pirate group known as Nassau? Sure enough, there are 2 brushes, even in such a situation, still showing so tenacious.
However, some things cannot be solved with courage, such as the ever narrowing distance between Jackdaw and Miranda.
When Miranda really catches up and sticks to the Jackdaw, it’s time for the side guns to start showing power.
Then the Jackdaw will have nowhere to escape.
So when the ship’s first gun missed the chance to hit the opponent continuously, Ford did not act too anxiously.
At this time, the spirit of the other people on the boat gradually relaxed. Coral Island and Parrot Island are different. They are very small in size and there is no natural harbor like Parrot Island. The surrounding situation can be seen clearly. After half a circle around the island The first officer can already confirm that there are indeed no ambushing ships nearby.
It seems that the other party should indeed be forced into a dead end by them, so they have to choose to venture into the reef area to fight.
But as Ford said, as long as they bite each other, and do not try other routes, there will be no danger.
There are many old seamen on the Miranda, and they have experienced many battles with pirates before, including some insidious and cunning guys who can continue to win and are famous in this Sea Territory. Pirate hunters are not to be trifled with has a sharp enough sense of smell for danger.
So far, they have not noticed any anomalies, and victory has never been so close to them as at this moment.
Ford was still immersed in the joy of taking the Jackdaw, but didn’t expect a sudden shock at his feet, and many people on the ship who had not stood still fell to the ground.
Ford complexion changed, “What’s going on?”
“Captain, we are afraid that we have hit the rocks.” Anxiously said.
“Nonsense, of course I know we hit the rock. This kind of thing still tells me with you. I asked how is this possible?” Ford was frightened and angry again, no longer the demeanor of the past, flustered and exasperated roar.
He pointed to the Jackdaw not far away, “They just drove from here before, why are they all right ?!”
“This …” The first officer hearing this expression is also at a loss.
Just while two people were speaking, the seawater had begun to pour into the cabin, and the big hole broken by the reef could not be blocked at all. Soon the hull of Miranda began to lean until it stopped at an angle of 2 degrees.
However, the people on the ship hadn’t had time to relax, and the roar of artillery came in his ears. Zhang Heng’s gunners who remained on the island were already in a hurry. The stranding of Miranda was the signal of their attack.
Ford’s luck today is indeed not very good, at least one third of the shells in the First Round attack hit the target accurately, and the sailor who climbed up finally did not have time to regain his stability.
The first officer shouted in the fire and wanted to call the gunner to organize a counterattack. However, at the angle of the Miranda’s current hull, the gun’s muzzle could only reach the beach at most, and could not attack the enemy hiding in the woods.
Ford was also loudly ordering the sailors on the boat to adjust the sails, hoping to get out of the stranded state, but the effect was not great. He rounded his eyes and the blue muscles on his neck burst, but no matter how roaring he was, the roar could not stop Miranda The fate of annihilation.
Until the first officer held his body, he cried in his ears, “Captain, don’t do it anymore. Abandon the boat.”
Ford is still reluctant to accept what is happening in front of him. He wonders why it was clear that the Miranda was winning a few minutes ago. In the blink of an eye, the situation changed Heaven and Earth turning upside down. Fighting, the Jackdaw is at an absolute disadvantage, but the result is more incredible than the first time.
If it is said that the first battle was due to prudence and the other party escaped from the hand, then this time of battle is enough to be considered a shame.
They didn’t even make the decoration of the jackdaw’s stern, and the Miranda was about to sink completely.
Why can the Jackdaw in front pass through the reef safe and sound? Where did the artillery on the shore come from? Who will ambush them with the Jackdaw? Ford couldn’t find answers to these questions.
The unfathomable mystery he lost in this battle, his eyes were full of frightened and frustrated faces, and the sailors could not bear such unilateral beatings, scrambling to jump into the sea.
Ford couldn’t remember how he was dragged off the boat by his first officer and dragged him all the way to the beach. When he came back to his senses, he saw a musket pointing at them.
The survivors on the Miranda huddled together on the beach, seeming to want some comfort from each other in this way. They lowered their heads, like a group of lambs to be slaughtered, waiting for the sentence of fate .
When the battle was over, Zhang Heng came to Coral Island in a small boat.
Billy greeted him immediately, unable to hide the joy in his eyes, and opened the mouth and said a long distance away, “We won a great victory this time, except that a sailor was a little bruised when he gathered the captives. Casualties, but ammunition consumption is more, I let the guys control the strength of the start, but it seems that they were suffocated these 2 days, but fortunately, they are still in time, the ship not at all is completely Sinking, I have sent someone to take inventory on the ship to collect supplies. “
“Very good.” Zhang Heng glanced at Ford, who was despondent, and was not surprised by the result. Hooking from Miranda, he was destined when he bite behind Jack Jack, this battle The process is not complicated, the difficulty is the previous layout.
After this war, the Jackdaw can also solve the imminent food and freshwater problems, but Zhang Heng didn’t expect this time and successfully captured the captain and first officer of the other party.
In this way, he might be able to know the specific arrangement of the other party ’s commander ’s pursuit operation, understand the direction of each ship sent by the other party, and the direction of the merge, and other issues such as convergence, can also provide a smooth return for the Jackdaw. More protection.
So Zhang Heng said to Billy, “Find me a pipe down, I will interrogate them.”
“To understanding.”
