Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Beginning of the Land (II)
The pirate ship on the docks of Blackreef Town, after a period of scramble and toss, finally set off and headed for William's ship. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that Guy's ship has just set sail, and the speed is not as fast as William's ship at all, and it is easy for William to command the ship to occupy the advantageous position of the T-head, and through the lens of the telescope, he can see that the enemy's ship is in chaos.
Guy cursed loudly on the bow deck that the vast majority of the guns of the now-popular sail warships were placed on the sides of the ship, and the firepower could only be maximized when the fire was struck horizontally, the so-called T-shaped cross.
Sure enough, after the William's ship came sideways, close to the enemy's side, a burst of gunpowder smoke suddenly rose, consisting of two iron balls, and the chain bullet with a strong iron chain in the middle suddenly swirled, whistling towards the ship where the pirate Guy was.
Two chain shells landed on the deck of the enemy ship, and the chained shells swept past the pirates who were busy sailing on the deck, and the blood of the stumps could be seen in the distance, but more chain shells hit the masts and sails of the enemy ships, and the masts were crumbling, and the sails were broken through multiple openings, further slowing down the ship.
William did not order his gunners to change to solid ammunition, but told them to lean over and prepare for the broadside.
On the other side, Guy's pirate ship also began to fire continuously, whistling cannonballs occasionally flew over William's deck, the newcomers who had just boarded the ship were pale, and the old pirates were still carrying out their work in an orderly manner, although they were also a little nervous.
The seemingly hard guard plate on the side of the ship is useless for resisting solid cannonballs, and when a round cannonball hits it, you can see that the wooden guard plate is directly shattered, and the wooden spikes are shot in all directions, and the pirates behind the guard are not strong, and the entire upper body is directly carried away by the cannonball, and they die immediately.
And a few pirates next to him were also injured by the wooden thorn in a hurry, the old pirate just scolded secretly, but gritted his teeth and endured the pain, silently pulled out the wooden thorn, but the injured newcomer had no experience, one of them was stabbed into the eye socket by the wooden thorn, directly threw the weapon in his hand, and lay on the ground screaming loudly.
The sword flashed, and the screams stopped abruptly.
William was holding a blood-stained knife, just standing on the deck where the cannonballs were flying, and he didn't mean to dodge at all, the head of the newcomer who had just screamed had been cut off by him, and his cold gaze swept over the few newcomers around him who had flinched because of the screams.
Several newcomers swallowed their saliva and no longer looked at the corpses on the ground, but instead looked at the enemy ship, although William did not speak, they already understood William's intentions.
William usually doesn't put on a show with the crew, as a pirate captain, he can even be regarded as kind, but when it comes to killing, he will never be soft-hearted.
Braving the fire, the pirate ship of the Morgan Pirates finally approached the local ships, and when the two ships were still quite far away, William stepped on the deck, and the whole person jumped in the air, and his trench coat fluttered upward, making him fly towards the enemy ship like a big bird.
Although William couldn't see anything abnormal on the surface, in fact, the heat in his body was steaming, and the whole person was as light as nothing, and there was even a faint upward support force filling his body, after all, even if the hot air rose was not considered, the density of the water vapor itself was smaller than that of the air.
Guy stared blankly at William in the air, and only after half a sound did a spirit react, ordering his subordinates to hold their guns and aim at William, who seemed to be unable to borrow strength in mid-air.
When William approached the ship where Guy and the other pirates were, Guy directly shouted an order: "Fire!"
The sound of gunshots rang out one after another, but at the same time, a puff of steam suddenly emerged from William's side, directly pushing his body to move sideways in mid-air, and the bullets fired at him missed one after another.
Immediately afterward, two explosions rang out at William's feet, steam erupted from under his feet, and the thrust from the expansion of the gas propelled him forward quickly, and before the pirates of the enemy ship had time to reload, they fell onto the enemy ship.
Bang!
After William landed, his knees bent slightly, unloaded his strength, and looked at the panicked enemies around him, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
……
While William was dealing with the enemy pirate ship, another pirate ship piloted by Harden and Aramis had already sailed into the docks.
The two left some men to guard the boat, and then each led their men into the town.
Although the East China Sea is known as the weakest sea area, but the number of pirates is also quite a lot, William has a clear plan for the future development, if the plan goes well, it is indispensable to clear the pirates in the future, those sea pirates with larger targets are actually easier to deal with, but they are small minions with weak strength, once they are scattered, they are broken up, and they hide in Tibet, which is easy to involve energy, so William has been trying to run in and train his pirates, and the great shipping force brought by Selkirk, The pirate forces that were recruited later dispersed were used as the backbone of the old man left over from the Barbarossa period as the backbone of the squad for peacetime operations, reducing the contradictions and distance caused by the different backgrounds and experiences of the crew.
At the same time, he also wanted to develop and experiment with a tactic that could respond in a timely manner, which could not only break the whole into pieces and eliminate sporadic targets, but also echo each other to deal with strong enemies, and quickly gather together at critical moments.
In this way, without William's presence in the future, his pirates will be able to solve the target, and he only needs to deal with the piercing target that his subordinates can't handle.
The act of breaking the established situation will not always be so smooth, but the current stumbling and stumbling are all for the long-term plan for the future, William can bear it, in fact, he can do everything himself, but he is the captain of the ship, not the nanny, if he has to do everything by himself, he is tired and tired.
The configuration of the team led by Aramis now can better reflect William's intentions, and the team has a total of four people, in addition to Aramis and the ship's veteran Hutcherson, there are two foreign pirates brought by Selkirk from the Great Voyage.
The four of them quietly groped towards a house where there was a commotion, and when they came to the door, they saw that the door of the house had already been broken, and the broken door lock hung alone on the door, through which a part of the living room could be seen.
Several chairs had been overturned, and there were several porcelain shards on the floor, which were originally vases from the surrounding water trails and a few bouquets of flowers, as well as the faint outline of the shards.
Hutcherson observed the water-stained footprints in the house, and said to his companion in a low voice: "There are only footprints in the house, and there are no footprints in the house, and the people should still be inside." ”
Aramis and Hutcherson whispered a few words, and then Aramis took another tall, lanky, long-faced pirate around the wall to the other side of the room, and Hutcherson cautiously walked in with the other short, stout pirate after making sure that the living room was empty.
Hutcherson and the stout pirates stopped when they reached a door, and he listened intently for a moment, faintly hearing a woman sobbing in a low voice from the closed end of the door.
Hutcherson gestured through the living room window to Aramis outside the room, motioning for Aramis to go to the side of the room's window.
Then he waited for a while to make sure that Aramis was in his position before shouting at the people on the other side of the door: "Listen, the people in the house, we are members of the Morgan Pirates, and our captain has an order, as long as you give up your resistance and arrest you, we will not hurt your lives!"
As soon as Hutcherson's words fell, Alamis, who was lying in ambush outside the window, took advantage of the attention of the people in the room, looked in the direction of the door from which the voice came, and slammed the window and rolled into the house.
Outside the door, Hutcherson heard the sound of the window cracking, kicked the door open, and rushed into the room with a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other, and the pirates who were with him rushed in close after him.
This room turned out to be a bedroom, and at a glance Hutcherson saw an enemy cowering on the side of the door, half-crouched on the ground against the wall, the other party had obviously wanted to sneak up on Hatchson and the others who came in through the bedroom door, but because Aramis broke the window, he was attracted to attention, and at this time he was pointing his gun at Aramis who rolled into the room.
Without saying a word, Hutcherson fired a shot, and the enemy, who had just been aimed at Alamis, was hit in the vital position and fell to the ground with a scream.
The Morgan Pirate, who was short and strong behind Hutcherson, also entered the bedroom, and he swept his gaze to search for the enemy, but when his eyes fell on a large bed facing the door of the bedroom, he could not take his eyes off it again.
There was also an enemy ship pirate hiding behind the bedroom door, and at this time, he rushed out from behind the door and slashed at the stocky pirate who did not react in time.
Alamis, who broke through the window, was quick to move, and swung his knife first, cutting off the opponent's wrist and pistol, and the pistol fell to the ground and misfired, making a "bang" gunshot, and the short pirate who was startled by the gunfire came back to his senses, and slashed at the enemy who was screaming with his broken hand with a hideous face.
"What do you think!" Hutcherson cursed at the stunned pirate, and then looked at the big bed with some distraction.
