Chapter 45: The Naval Battle (II)

Before the two ships could be crossed, they had to talk to each other by gunfire, and several gunners on the deck, hearing Captain Redbeard's order, put their ignition sticks towards the iron cannon fire door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After only hearing a few deafening cannon sounds, and before seeing what happened to the ship on the other side, the deck of the Redbeard Pirate Ship was first covered by a puff of gunpowder smoke, and after the deck cannon sounded, the gunners on the side of the Redbeard Pirate Ship and the ship's building also lit the cannon after hearing the deck gun.

The accuracy of this old-fashioned front-loading smoothbore gun was really not very good, and the gunners on the Redbeard Pirates were also very poor, aiming at moving targets at sea, and the cannons rang out one after another, but most of them deviated from the target, and only one shell hit the opposite stern, but it failed to cause casualties.

The other side also knew that the negotiation was useless, and they also lit fire and opened fire, and Becker listened to the sound of cannons and the whistling sound of solid iron bullets cutting through the air at high speed, and his heart beat rapidly.

Becker was poking his head out to observe the trajectory of the cannons on the opposite side from behind the guard, when he saw a cannonball whizzing, his pupils shrank, and he quickly ducked behind a pirate beside him.

Bang! Crash!

As soon as Becker finished his action, a cannonball hit the guard plate not far from him, the seemingly hard guard plate did not play a protective role in the face of the solid iron bullet, the pirates hiding behind the guard plate did not snort, the whole upper body was carried away by the iron bullet, and the dead could not die anymore, and the guard plate hit by the iron bullet also exploded, and the broken wooden thorns suddenly turned into a terrible hidden weapon and shot around, and the pirates who were used as a shield by Becker were suddenly pierced into hedgehogs by the wooden thorns, lying on the deck and screaming loudly.

Becker was in adrenaline at this time, and his reaction ability was far greater than before, and some of the flying wooden spikes could not be completely blocked by the pirates in front of him, and he blocked them with a knife in one hand, and even picked them up one by one, unscathed.

"Grass!" Becker didn't feel proud at all, and scolded secretly, the unlucky pirate who was used as a shield by him was not dead for a while, lying on the ground and howling miserably, the fire of the god of war really made people feel more pressured, and the flesh and blood were even more difficult to fight against the cannonballs, even if there were people in this world who were strong enough to ignore the artillery fire, but it was not the current Becker, he would rather the two ships connect as soon as possible, it was better than being tormented by the artillery fire at this time.

Becker recovered from his fear, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a knife, and the terrible howl in his ears suddenly stopped, and the hideous face of the co-captain Lacey walked past with a cutlasse that was constantly dripping blood, and the hapless pirate who had been used as a shield by Becker had his head cut off by Lacey.

Lacey swept murderously at the surrounding pirates, who had just flinched at the screams of the hapless pirates.

"Whoever dares to disturb the morale again, I will cut off his head!" Lacey said fiercely, and then shouted, "The first one to board the opposite ship will get a share of the spoils!" ”

The old pirates cheered in response, although some of the new pirates were still a little nervous, but they were the former sailors and former fishermen who took the initiative to join the pirates, they were all people who begged for a living at sea, even if they did legal work on the sea, they had to face bad weather and sea monsters, and they were somewhat brave, motivated by material things, and they were also eager to try.

Becker was not so excited, but focused on dodging the artillery fire again, fortunately the gunners on the two pirate ships were half a pound and eight taels, and the degree of garbage was similar, and no shells fell to Becker's side after several rounds of fire, and as the barrel of the old gun gradually became hot, it gradually could not be fired, and the two ships were extremely close.

Bang! The guns on the upper floor of the Redbeard Pirate Ship had not fired continuously before, and had been waiting for the two ships to close the distance, at this time, under the order of the second mate Felton, the deck of the opposite pirate ship suddenly opened fire one after another, and a series of screams came out from the opposite pirate ship, and at the same time, many old pirates of the Redbeard Pirates also threw their hook claws over and hooked the guard plate of the opposite ship.

The pirates shouted one after another, their feet against the guard, and they grabbed the hook rope and pulled it back hard, and the distance between the two ships suddenly became extremely close, and it was enough for the agile people to jump over.

The guns of the two ships could not fire, and there was a brief calm between the two pirate ships that had been firing fiercely at each other before, and many inexperienced new pirates saw this, and thought of the words of the previous deputy captain Lacey, and became a little eager to try, and they stood up one after another, wanting to jump on the opposite ship, didn't they join the pirates to ask for money?

Ah Jin next to him also wanted to get up, Becker saw this and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull, Ah Jin didn't expect to be pulled by someone, lost his balance at once, fell down, and hid back behind the guard.

Ah Jin slammed his head on the guard plate and picked up a big bag, he shook off Becker's hand in some annoyance, and Becker scolded when he saw this: "Do you want to find death? ”

Becker had long noticed that all the rookie pirates who had just arrived on the ship and had no experience in naval warfare were all on the ship, and the old pirates were hiding more tightly at this time than when the artillery was firing just now.

Then, as Becker expected, as the rookie pirates on the ship got up, the peace between the two ships was suddenly broken, and a dense long-range strike suddenly erupted from the side of the two ships, muskets, throwing axes, throwing knives, bullets from muskets and all kinds of weapons were thrown one after another, and the pirates who were eager to get up and jump to the gang before were almost swept away, screaming and falling into the sea or falling back to the deck.

The guard plate in front of Ah Jin was crackled by bullets, and several flying axes were nailed to the wooden board behind him, Ah Jin's dark face was slightly whiter, he glanced at the flying axes and a few bullet holes around the flying axes with some fear, and then looked at Becker, some panicked and incoherent after almost dying, and said to Becker gratefully: "I owe you a life." ”

Ah Jin has been on the dock since he was a child, although he has no famous teacher to guide him, but he has rich combat experience, and has the unique courage of the dock fishermen, he is young, but he is smart, but even if he is brave and brave, he also knows that his skills are not good enough to block bullets, just now if Becker had not pulled him and was set on fire by so many people's long-range weapons, he would definitely not be able to die again.

Becker didn't pay much attention, he listened to the screams of some pirate recruits who were lucky enough not to fall into the sea, his face was a little ugly, the old pirates on the ship were obviously using the new pirates as cannon fodder, and none of them took the initiative to mention the new pirates on the ship.

Becker had already made many acquaintances with the old pirates on the ship, and there were a few not far from him at this time, but none of them came up to mention him, and he suddenly felt that none of these bastards could be trusted.

As the sides of the two ships collided violently, the bodies of many pirates on the deck shook, and the pirates holding the hook claw all wrapped the rope at the end of the hook claw around the mast of their own ship at this time, and it was difficult for the two ships to separate in a short time.

Becker held on to the guard, took a deep breath, and squinted at the situation on the opposite deck, where the towering bow deck of the Redbeard Pirate Ship came into play, and the two ships were so close together that Becker could condescendingly observe the opposite deck.

Becker knows that the people who beg for a living on the sea are still fierce in their bones, especially the pirates who lick the blood with their knives, they are only afraid of the strong, and it can be seen from the experience of living in the Redbeard Pirates these days, although Redbeard's management methods are rough, he has no way to control it, and he is so greedy that even the more advanced artillery is unwilling to distribute to the ship, and only cares about his own pleasure, but with his strong strength and brutal character, he still rules the entire pirate ship strongly, Becker can be sure that on this ship, in addition to his own ghostly self, No second man has ever arisen to overthrow Redbeard's rule.

Becker is a strength and a good point for his quick brain, which can help him go further, and this advantage also makes him understand that in order to convince other pirates, in addition to letting them know that they have good brains, they must also understand that their knives are fast enough.
