Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 233
The pirate’s sailboat was getting closer and closer, and even the cannonball from the bow gun had almost touched the stern. Gordon jumped down from the mast, took the rudder from the sailor, and was able to see ahead with his eagle eye. the reef, and then rushed directly into it.
“Notify the White Shark, let them wander outside, don’t come in!”
“Yes, Captain!”
In the wind and rain, the semaphore of the Jackdaw lookout was also very difficult, but the White Shark understood the news and went along the periphery of the reef area.
There was always one ship that was the most chasing, and the captain was the most deadly. This ship was bigger than the other pirate ships that were chasing, maybe a little smaller than the Jackdaw, and it fought against the wind and waves with full sails.
Although its artillery rating is not as good as Gordon’s two ships, wars are never won with artillery, and the side with more men is always victorious.
The pirate captain couldn’t be more excited, as if the treasure was at his fingertips, he clearly saw how many shots the two ships fired in the waters near Kingston, and there was only one signal to escape to the south-their captain was an idiot, In a panic.
Could there be any conspiracy? Any conspiracy is a joke in the face of absolute power, but they have more than a dozen ships.
Watching the Jackdaw separate from the White Shark with more terrifying firepower, he strengthened his guess even more.
The White Shark can’t stand the idiot commander ready to go, otherwise no one will distract their ship when they are at a disadvantage.
He saw the sparse reefs standing on the sea, but he failed to give him any warning, because his treasure had rushed into it resolutely.
The waves pushed the ships to high places, the enemy ships were already within range, and the wind and rain could not stop the pirates from pursuing gold coins.
“Stuff the right-side cannon! Tell that stupid captain there’s no way for him to escape, hahaha!”
“Hahaha!”
The pirates seemed satisfied with the title, and laughed.
They are very motivated because if they complete this order, even if they can only get a small part, they can make a lot of money.
“Idiot! Hurry up and fill the cannon!”
The captain kicked the clumsy sailors with his feet, so that he could quickly take the gold coins and walk away.
The wailing of black clouds and hurricanes swirled in the air, lightning briefly tore through the night, and torrential rain could not stop the howling of the waves.
It all seemed to be a tragedy, but they never realized it.
boom!
The violent impact shook the fast-moving Galen ship. The horns of the reef cut through a huge five-meter-long crack in the bottom of the boat, and the sea water poured frantically.
The captain rose from the ground, and the long voyage made him realize what was happening almost instantly.
“Check the bottom bin! Quick!”
If things are really as he expected, they probably should not think about how to get the money, but how to survive this storm.
The two sailors hurried into the cabin, but there was water everywhere, the waves came in through the muzzle, the rain came in through the crevices, and the bumpy boat and the slippery floor were not so friendly to people.
Before waiting for feedback from the sailors, the ship had begun to tilt to the right, and the waterline had suddenly become much shallower.
“It’s the ballast that leaked, the bottom bunker leaking! Chief mate, call the sailors to plug it up for me, and seal up the muzzles…”
The voyage is very dangerous now, the ship must avoid more water entering, he must find a place to dock, or everyone will die here – unless someone wants to take a boat in such stormy weather Take a chance.
He hurriedly took out the compass from his arms, his hands trembled a little, his previous ecstasy was filled with panic, but he still gave orders calmly.
As for the Jackdaw, let the stupid captain escape, or hit the rocks here, no matter what, he never thought the ship would come back.
“A ship is approaching!”
The sailor in charge of the lookout had a hoarse and elongated voice, like a drake before being slaughtered, with a mournful tone.
The captain was a little overjoyed. If they could get help from others, they would have a much better chance of surviving: “Semaphore, tell them we need help…”
“Artillery Strike!!!”
The pirate captain turned his head, but what he saw was the dazzling firelight in the dark night, the iron chains twisted and clattered in the air, mixed with the whistling sound of breaking through the sky, overwhelming the sky.
click, click, click…
The dense chain projectiles were like the sharpest scissors. Two iron **** were entangled, cutting the rope ladder, pulling the sail rope, and breaking the sub-mast into several sections.
The sails of the main mast were almost all in the sky, because the ropes were all twisted, and the sub-mast of the bow broke directly in the middle, and was dragged in the water with the ropes.
The ship had lost power, and what was even more frightening was that the storm continued, enemy ships were cruising around, and the bottom of the ship was still leaking.
Another round of salvo, the ship will take seventy or eighty sailors to the bottom of the sea, and at this moment they don’t even dare to open the muzzle.
The pirates were a little stunned. They were at a loss with their swords, because the gunpowder used in the muskets had already been soaked.
This battle has not even started, it seems to be over, their artillery is still there, and their manpower is still there, but the resistance seems to be meaningless, and they have lost their power. wait to die.
They looked at the ship with its lights completely out, and couldn’t understand how the Jackdaw managed to avoid all the rocks in this situation.
The sailors of the Jackdaw shouted and put the boarding hook on the side of the deck, and the experienced sailor was shouting to the new sailors, how to throw the hook out with milk force, and then pull the rope.
There are only 30 of them~www.mtlnovel.com~ and even less than 25 people can be called combat power. Even so, they will rush into the enemy ship and start killing, bringing back the needed gunpowder and rounds. bomb.
For their captain was ready to go, and no one could defeat their captain on this night when the muskets were ineffective.
The pirates, whose ships were already swaying under the influence of the wind and waves after losing their ballast, almost completely lost their hearts to resist, just praying that the enemy would give up the shelling and leave them a way to live.
But when the captain saw that the Jackdaw wanted to get close to the ship, he saw their only chance!
“We have to grab that ship! Listen, our ship is sinking, we have no choice, they may not have as many people as us, just grab it and we have a better ship, and the **** Treasure!”
Those who become captains can always find a glimmer of hope in the predicament. Of course, they also have a choice to surrender, but the enemy is a privateer. Hanging, so he can only choose to fight to the death.
