Chapter 102: Broadside Battle, Begin!

"Oooo

A tsunami-like shout rose into the sky, and the atmosphere was mobilized, and the left side of the "Bikudup" of the Bucky Pirates was immediately seen, and the middle column suddenly flipped over, revealing a full twelve huge black cannon muzzles, and aimed at the caravan in the distance at the same time.

Boom Boom!

With a series of loud noises, more than a dozen black cannonballs came out at the same time, whistling towards the positions of several ships in the middle of the caravan. However, firing artillery at this distance is actually more of a deterrent, and the low hit rate is pitiful, for example, this time, the nearest shell also fell a few meters away from the side of the ship, falling directly into the sea.

And the caravan's artillery fire will naturally not be stingy, with the order from the main ship's side, the nine huge ships of the entire caravan began to fire back one after another, although the firepower of each one is inferior to that of the Bikudup, but now so many ships are firing together, the shells in the air have reached an overwhelming level, and the black pressure is overwhelming, which looks very spectacular.

Therefore, even though the hit rate on this side was equally impressive, due to the large base, there were still a few shells that smashed on the deck of the Bikudup, causing some casualties.

"Don't delay, speed up, rush to Lao Tzu!"

At this time, Kabaji stepped forward, assumed the responsibility of his chief of staff, drew his sword and stood in the bow of the ship and roared, "As long as you get close to one of the ships, the artillery fire will stop, give me a hurry!" ”

As for Bucky, one of his subordinates was blown off half of his arm by a cannonball, holding his bloody broken arm and screaming, but he was still wearing his overcoat, standing on the deck with his arms crossed to the wind, his eyes full of greed swept back and forth between the nine merchant ships, grinning and laughing:

"With so many fat sheep, which one is better to start slaughtering?"

…………………………

"Not good!"

On the main ship, a middle-aged guard in the watchtower suddenly changed his face, put down his binoculars, and shouted to the bottom: "Report!" The enemy is pulling full sails and approaching us at maximum speed, apparently trying to engage in a broadside battle! ”

"Can you see the specific route of the other party?" In front of the railing of the deck, a red-haired woman with a slender figure but a frosty face frowned slightly when she heard this, raised her head and asked coldly.

"It should be the location of the third ship, but it's still a bit far away, and it may be ......a little off," the middle-aged escort replied with some uncertainty.

"I see."

The red-haired woman replied briefly and forcefully, then turned her head, her eyes swept over the dozens of guards surrounding her like stars and moons, and said in a deep voice: "Since the other party wants to play hard, then it is better to accompany them to the end, so that they can know that our Drummond family is different from those poor worms who wag their tails and beg for mercy when they meet pirates!" Pirates, just owe a lesson, are they all ready?! ”

"Ready, Captain!"

The surrounding guards shouted in unison, neatly and uniformly, and all of them had a resolute expression on their faces, without the slightest panic.

Unlike the guards invited from the rest of the ships, the main ship was all elite and well-trained by the Drummond family, and the red-haired woman was the captain of the escort, Evere.

"Good."

Eves nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the merchant ships behind him, and began to give orders in a calm tone: "There should be about eighty people on the third and fourth ships, of which fifty are guards, now notify you, while continuing the shelling, all the ships will slowly move closer, so that the non-combatants on these two ships will withdraw to both sides, and the front and rear ship escorts will gather in the middle, and strive to form an absolute suppression in numbers before the pirates get on board!" ”

"Yes!!"

Seeing that Eves did not delay any longer, she took the lead in rushing towards the stern, and her direct subordinates did not hesitate at all, leaving a few people to maintain their firepower, and the rest followed closely.

……………………

"Haha, it's here!"

On the Bikudup, looking at the merchant ship that was only a dozen meters away, the joy on Bucky's face could no longer be suppressed, and he turned his head and shouted: "Little ones! ”

"Yes, Captain!" The little minions on the ship roared back in louder voices. They were also very excited, although at least a dozen people had died under the fire just now, but after seeing the fat sheep that was already close in front of them, this casualty did not affect the morale of these pirates at all, but stimulated the bloodlust and greed in their hearts, and they were eager to jump to the opposite deck next.

Not to mention, because of their proximity, other merchant ships have begun to gradually stop shelling in order to avoid accidental damage.

"Give it all to me, kill all the guards on board, and then all these treasures will be ours!" Bucky's voice was cold and cruel, and the co-captain next to him, the animal trainer "Mochi", had already reacted immediately, and after a few strange laughs, he took out a rope with a hook from his fur clothes on his upper body, and after a few turns, he threw it towards the merchant ship.

With a "snap", the hook landed firmly on the railing on the left side of the deck, and the rest of the pirates did the same, throwing ropes one after another, and as the two ships got closer together, they jumped off the deck, grabbed the knives in their mouths, and then skilfully crawled towards the opposite side with considerable speed.

"The pirates are coming! Be careful, everyone!"

On the deck, the guards in front shouted in fear, making everyone's spirits tense, because the speed of these pirates was too fast, and the posture of receiving the ship was already unstoppable, so after a round of ineffective gun volleys, the guards had already drawn their swords and faintly gathered into a formation, waiting for the arrival of these sea demons as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Damn, I chose our third ship, and the guards on this ship are much less than those on the main ship......"

In the center surrounded by the guards, there was Takemura with his legs still bandaged, and his right hand was already firmly resting on the hilt of the knife at his waist, looking at the pirates approaching with a sneer, his face was full of worry, and he gritted his teeth and said to himself, "Until now, I can only hope that Captain Yves can bring someone to support him as soon as possible......

The corner of his eyes swept over Xia Nuo, who had a calm face next to him, and Takemura sighed secretly, for this strongman who was known as the strongest pirate hunter in the East China Sea, he naturally admired and trusted him from the bottom of his heart, and even thought that the senior cadres of the pirate group opposite were definitely not opponents, but no matter what, Xia Nuo was a person, and he couldn't stand the number of pirates on the other side.

As long as the other party sends a few cadres to entangle Xia Nuo, there are only twenty or thirty guards on their ship, and under the siege of so many pirates, even if they are not completely wiped out, I am afraid they will suffer heavy casualties, right? When the time comes, how can we ensure the safety of the caravan after entering the great shipping route?

Takemura thought pessimistically.
