Chapter 76 Out of Control and Fury

When the Glory threw the hook line, the two warships immediately A long-range weapon fire was launched. Heavy muskets, light muskets, hook guns, muskets, and even steel crossbows, stones, what is the use anyway.

The gunshots sounded like popping beans, and both sides desperately shot more bullets and arrows into each other's boats.

The Army officers who climbed to the platform were ordered by the Corps Head to ignore the enemies with muskets, but to suppress the opponent's revolving guns.

A few arms stretched out from behind the hull of the Vengeance, trying to cut the hook line.

However, as the distance between the two sides narrowed, each time a hook line was cut off, two more hook lines were caught on the side of the Vengeance.

Veneta sailors shouted their horns and pulled the ropes, dragging the Vengeance closer to the Glory.

Several brawny sailors threw iron bombs on the deck of the Vengeance like throwing lead biscuits. After the explosion of one after another, the deck of the Vengeance wailed.

Winters crouched aft of the ship's side to avoid stray bullets and arrows, waiting for the Jump Gang's order.

A few stray bullets even hit the hull in front of him, but were stuck in the hull and failed to penetrate the two-inch thick oak plank.

Suddenly, all the sounds on the Vengeance disappeared eerily.

The gunshots, the shouting, the scolding, all the sounds disappeared, even the wailing.

Winters, crouching behind the ship's side, noticed the strangeness, and the long-range firepower from the enemy ship not far away disappeared along with the sound.

He stuck his head out to observe and found that all the lights on the opposite boat had gone out. By the firelight of the Glory, he could see no one on the deck of the Vengeance.

This quiet, dark ship looks eerily like a ghost ship.

More and more people on the Glory also noticed the strangeness of the other ship, and one sailor shouted excitedly: "We killed them all!"

"Close up. Mouth!" The vicious captain rushed over and gave the sailor a big mouth, and then ordered the other sailors: "Turn off the lights on the boat! Move quickly!"

Because the enemy could not be seen, the Glory The shooters also stopped firing. The two ships were slowly approaching in this gloomy and eerie atmosphere.

When the distance between the two ships was only a few meters away, Chief Mate Karaman commanded loudly: "Put down the springboard!"

The bow, waist, and ship of the Glory The stern stuck out more than a dozen springboards and put them on the side of the Vengeance, fixing the two warships together.

Mate Klarman stood up and drew his saber angrily roared: "Long live ace Nick!"

[Huzzah for Wildcard Nick!]
[Ace Nick is Nareshaw 's nickname]
Sailors cheered loudly.

Karaman was the first, with the sailors following him, swarming the deck of the Vengeance.

Captain Wilson shouted the battle cry of the 3rd Legion: "Great Veneta!"

Winters, Bud and Andre, and all the soldiers shouted in unison "Kazar!" responded the captain, following Wilson to the deck of the Vengeance.

Yet the deck of the Vengeance remained empty and dead.

"We really killed them all!" said the sailor just now in disapproval.

"hong" With a loud bang, dozens of cannonballs set off a storm of flesh on the Vengeance's deck.

The Tanirians pushed the heavy artillery to the position facing their deck, and took the lives of more than a dozen Veneta with one shot.

Using the rumbling sound of the heavy artillery as a signal, the guns blared loudly, and the Vengeance launched a full-scale counterattack.

Dark muzzles and muzzles protruded from the ship's buildings on both sides of the bow and stern, moved towards the Veneta on deck pouring ammunition.

The Vengeance's gun deck is the hull of the close-range strikes Glory. Because it did not carry a gunner, the Glory skipped the process of firing the naval guns directly, but the gunner of the Revenge was on board.

This close-quarters combat was when the short-barreled cannons on the warships were at their most powerful, the sixteen- and thirty-two-pounders roaring, firing rounds and rounds on the Glory's hull. A horrific wound.

"What are your subordinates doing?!" On the stern of the Glory, Antonio moved towards Lieutenant Colonel Conter angrily and shouted: "Don't attack the ship's building, hide behind the cover. Waiting to die?"

Lieutenant Colonel Contaire wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "When suddenly attacked, people's instinct is to hide in a safe place."

There was chaos on the deck of the Vengeance, the sailors and soldiers only felt that countless bullets were coming at them, the army and the navy were mixed, and both sides were disorganized.

"They're in the building! Attack the building! Attack the building!" Captain Wilson was furious when he saw his soldiers hiding behind cover. The soldier curled up behind the object: "Don't hide here! Go attack the ship..."

Before he could finish speaking, a lead shot into his left neck, hitting him. Shattered his cervical spine, creating a terrifying wound on the right side of his neck.

Wilson's body softened and he fell on the deck of the Vengeance.

"Kill me all who wear officers' uniforms first!" Drake in the poop laughed heartily: "Reload fast, reload fast!"

During land warfare, officers are protected in phalanxes. However, these professional soldiers in beautiful clothes are very conspicuous when fighting on the deck at close range.

The crew of the Vengeance felt that the situation at this time was extremely strange, because this tactic of hiding in the ship's building was obviously invented by the Navy.

In the past, when the pirates in the Inner Sea tried to join the Veneta Navy, even if the number of pirates had an advantage, as long as the navy turtles retreated into the shipbuilding, the pirates could not help them.

Standing in the sturdy ship building, the Veneta Navy can one against two, or even three, to defeat pirates in the inner sea.

The situation at this moment was completely reversed, with pirates huddled in the ship's building and the navy beaten on deck.

Winters saw blood spurting from Wilson's neck and rushed towards the captain, ignoring the buckshot. It doesn't make any sense though, the captain is dead.

The Hundred-Men Commander was killed, and the command system of the first Hundred Men Squad had failed. Someone had to step up to replace Wilson.

The muskets, the cannons, the wailings, the shouts huddled up on the deck where nothing could be heard, and a deafening voice drowned out all the others.

"Attack the ship building! Everyone attack the ship building!"

For the first time, Winters used all his magic power to unleash a loudspeaker, shouting: "Three Legions attack the stern! The sailors attack the bow!"

General Taylor was right! The most useful spell on the battlefield is really amplifying!
Killing spells are of little use on a battlefield with hundreds or thousands of people, how many people can the sorcerer kill? ten? a hundred? Five hundred? Amplification can organize soldiers to help you kill people on a chaotic battlefield.

"First Hundred Men Squad! Come with me!" Bud roared and dragged the two soldiers who were crouching behind the barrels and rushed to the poop.

Andre followed him with his saber: "Kill!"

Winters repeated it three times in a row, the first time he used all his magic power to release the amplifying technique. The phantom limb pain made him feel like his body was inflated three times like a skin sac.

He couldn't even stand, his hands were shaking constantly, and the skin all over his body was sweating uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the three unquestioned orders were heard by all Veneta, and heard clearly. Sailors and soldiers just needed someone to tell them what to do, and they heard Winters' orders.

First a few took the lead, then most followed.

The sailors charged to the fore, and the first Hundred Men Squad charged to the poop.

"This is evil! Witchcraft! Black magic!" Derek, who was furious, grabbed the gunner's collar and shouted hysterically. The Neta people have found their backbone again.

Drake pushed the gunner back to the side of the cannon: "Fire! open for me! Kill these wizards for me!"

Winters smashed himself with the hilt fiercely Twice on the thigh, suppressing the phantom limb pain with real physical pain, and after regaining a few traces of sobriety, he stood up and ran to the poop.

At this point, the attack of the first Hundred Men Squad encountered a setback near the poop. The ship building on the warship is a fortress at sea, and the first Hundred Men Squad soldiers who only brought short blades have no means of siege.

Andrei was slamming against the ship building door with another tall soldier, but the wooden door was completely motionless.

On the second and third floors of the ship building, people kept moving guns towards the army soldier below. Bud took a matchlock gun from an unknown body and was struggling to reload.

"Don't hit it! It won't open! It must be blocked with something inside!" Winters grabbed Andre.

"Then what should I do? You hold me up and I turn in from the second-floor window?" Andre didn't know what to do.

"courting death? You can chop off your hand by picking up the muzzle of a pirate!"

"What should I do?" Andre was completely helpless.

Winters carefully recalled the structure of the Glory. This ship was a warship robbed by pirates. The structure must be similar to the Glory: "Look for the entrance to the cabin! The cabin and the building are connected!"

"Sir! Here!" a soldier shouted: "It can't be opened, it's been withstood inside."

Winters strode over, and on the deck is a one-meter-tall The half-length square entrance, a wooden board firmly stuck here, blocked the entrance to the cabin.

"Everyone who weighs more than 160 pounds, stand up! Hurry up!" Winters stood on the wooden board at the hatch of the ship and pulled Andre up, and the other tall and strong soldiers also He was pulled on this board.

Bud led a few soldiers who could use muskets to suppress the shooters upstairs and cover Winters and them.

"Listen to my one and two passwords, everyone jumps together! Jump hard, jump high!" Winters didn't have time to explain the emergency, so he shouted and ordered: "When I called two, Just jump!"

"One, two!" Everyone jumped evenly, and the wooden board made a creaking sound.

Andre understood what Winters was thinking, and he scolded sharply: "Whoever jumps out of line, I will kill you!"

"One, two!" The plank groaned in pain , There seems to be a cracking sound from the bottom of the board.

"One, two!" Everyone danced more and more neatly, landing almost at the same time.

"One, two!" There was a loud noise, and the wooden planks and the pillars under the planks were broken together, and all the people standing on the wooden planks fell into the cabin.

"Ah! Ah! My arm!" a soldier cried.

Being too late to check his injuries, Winters got up and looked towards the inside of the cabin.

The pirate gunner on the artillery deck below the open deck heard the sound from the hatch, and approached the hatch without knowing it, and suddenly saw six or seven soldiers falling from above, also stunned.

"Kill!" Winters had no weapons in his hands, and jumped towards the Tanirians in front of him.

The pirate gunner was knocked down by Winters, who didn't care about the other enemies around him, and slammed his fists into each other's face and throat.

The other soldiers also came back to his senses, rushing towards the enemy in the artillery deck and fighting.

The artillery deck was less than two meters high, and the other soldiers on the deck jumped down one after another, and a bloody battle broke out on the artillery deck.

The slender pirate under his body was face covered in blood and confused by several punches directed at the bridge of the nose and throat by Winters. Eye.

Dirty hands scratched one after another bloodstain on Winters' face, it wasn't a fight, it was just two desperate people struggling to survive.

The violent side of Winters' temperament was aroused. He ignored the opponent's hand movements, pressed his knees against the opponent's chest, pulled out the machete around the opponent's waist, and wiped the pirate's neck directly.

This machete is poorly maintained, so the bite is stronger. Pressing the back of the knife, he dragged and cut from the root to the tip, the wound was as deep as the cervical vertebrae, and almost cut off the pirate's head.

The pirate gunner died instantly.

Winters moved towards the wound and chopped off the bones. He stepped on the torso, pulled the hair with his hands, and ripped off the last flesh between the necks, directly taking off the pirate's head.

Like a blood man, Winters held the pirate's head in his left hand and a machete in his right hand, roaring in search of a new opponent. The pirates on the artillery deck were so frightened by this demon-like killer that their morale completely collapsed, and they rolled and crawled to the lower cabin.

"Gan! You kid... I'm going to have nightmares at night this month!" A deep male voice came, and a pair of big hands took the pirate's head off Winters and threw it aside .

The talking officer took out his handkerchief again and wiped the blood on Winters' face: "If you don't want to carry an ugly nickname all your life, you little bastard will do less of that in the future."

Winters, recovering from his rage, recognized the face, a face he had only met, Captain Speyer of the Golden Lion.

It turned out that the Golden Lion found an embarrassing situation after approaching the Revenge, because the freeboard of the Revenge was too high, and the boarding ramp of the Golden Lion could not be hung on the side of the ship.

In desperation, Speyer had to order the springboard to be hung on the gun door. He just led the crew to climb into the gun deck of the Vengeance from the gun muzzle when he saw this.

Winters looked all around, the soldiers and sailors bowed their heads in fear, not daring to meet his eyes.

He panted heavily, desperately suppressing the blood energy surging in his chest.

Bud came over and put his arms around Winters' shoulders, patted his back, and signaled that he was okay.

"What's the situation on the ship now?" Speyer asked directly without talking nonsense.

"The Tanirians are guarding the building, and I want to get in from the cabin," Winters replied succinctly.

"You lead your men to clean up the remaining enemies in the cabin, and the enemies in the building are handed over to my men." Speyer looked Winters in the eyes and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Andre was a little dissatisfied, but Winters had no intention of competing with Speyer at the moment. Since the other party was willing to bite the bullet, it would be better. He signaled that Andre was okay, and Andre groaned and said nothing more.

"The deck is up to Your Excellency." Winters nodded to Speyer.

Speyer looked at the youngster in front of him and salutes the army officer for the first time since joining the army: "Don't be in trouble, I'll treat you to a drink after this battle."

After speaking, he turned and led his men to the ladder leading to the ship building, shouting to his men, "One gold coin per head! But leave this bastard Drake to me!"

The crew of the Golden Lion clambered up continuously from the muzzle, and one crew member approached Winters and shoved him a water bladder.

Winters couldn't see who it was. He felt terribly thirsty, but he didn't drink, and gave the water bladder to the soldiers.

The third Legion, the chief battallion, the first Hundred Men Squad, and the interim commander, Warrant Officer Montagne wiped the blood from the knife and said to the soldiers who followed him: "Go! Finished the next job."

[About the nickname of General Nareshaw. Because Nareshaw is good at poker and all gambling items, everyone calls him [Shark Nick] and [Old Thousand Nick] behind his back, but no one dares to call him like that in front of his face, so they all use another awe-inspiring title [ace Nick Wildcard] ], which means that you never know what Nareshaw has in his hand before he opens his trump card]

[When the galleon is jumped, sticking to the ship building can often defeat the number of boarding people, The Spanish galleons used this tactic when they encountered pirates in the Sea Territory in Southeast Asia. The pirates, both ronin and Chinese, jumped on the Spanish deck, but could not enter the ship building, and were continuously killed by muskets and artillery. Reluctantly retreat. The Venetians also used this tactic. But it's all the information in my memory, I can't remember the source, but I can guarantee that it's not a rumor.]
