Chapter 177: The Most Escapable Winter
Not long after Zhang Heng took people out of the ship, Anne also received a warning from the lookout that a ship appeared in the southwest.
The red-haired girl took the bronze binoculars and saw a three-masted galleon, which also spotted them, and instead of being afraid, she sped up towards it, and at the same time the black flag was raised on board.
"Looks like he wants a piece of the pie too." DuFreina frowned.
However, at this time, the Severe Winter also moved as agreed, and went to intercept the newly arrived pirate ship, and as the Jackdaw passed by, Hutchison waved the flag to Anne, telling the latter not to worry, just leave the matter to him.
However, soon after the battle between the two sides, the Severe Winter was defeated and retreated, and the red-haired girl thought that the other party might be useless, but she didn't expect it to be so useless, and she didn't even delay it, so she began to hug her head and run away.
The Severe Winter lasted less than ten minutes before turning around and running back.
Sam, the Black Prince on the Spear of the Goddess, also frowned, he didn't expect his allies to be so wasteful, they had just collected their weapons and started to count the goods against the list...... But now was not the time to hold him accountable, he asked his men to send a message to the Vidah, and asked the Vida to help.
In terms of firepower, the ship that came was actually in the middle of the match with the Winter, and it was not difficult for the Vida to deal with, not to mention that with the Winter's help, it should be enough to take the other party.
The black helmsman on the Vader was ordered to rush to the place of battle with his men, but he did not like Hutchison, and deliberately took a detour, hoping that the latter would suffer a little more, and it was better that the Severe Winter would be sunk by the newly arrived pirate ship, and that their share of the booty could be saved.
Unfortunately, the Severe Winter could not fight, but the escape was very good, and Hutchison once again showed his excellent helm skills, maneuvering the Severe Winter to avoid rounds of shelling without danger.
Especially when he saw the Vida not far away, he immediately turned around and fled this way, just like seeing a savior.
The black helmsman of the Whyda was so impressed by this guy that he couldn't help but think about killing him first, but in the end he resisted his desire and ordered the gunners to take their positions and prepare for battle.
Although I don't want to admit it, but strictly speaking, the Severe Winter still played a role, at least it successfully brought the target to the Vidda, but I don't know if it was because it was too panicked or for some other reason, the Severe Winter just stood in front of the Vida's gun, so that the latter could not fire cannonballs, on the contrary, the pirate ship behind could attack with impunity.
The black helmsman scolded and sent a flag to the Bitter Winter, telling Hutchison to roll as far as he could.
Fortunately, the Severe Winter was not stupid enough to go home, and immediately after receiving the flag, he went around in circles and got behind the Vidah, and the black helmsman was too lazy to complain, anyway, with or without the help of the Winter, he was confident that he would defeat the ship in front of him, so he didn't care about the latter's whereabouts, and ordered to fire back.
Only the first round of attacks on the Vida showed its own style of being the hegemon of the Caribbean, and the pirate ship that had just beaten the Severe Winter was suppressed to the death, whether it was firepower configuration or personnel quality, there was a visible gap between the two sides, and it was only a matter of time before the latter was defeated.
The black helmsman's expression was relaxed, just like in other battles he had experienced before, once the Vader began to exert force, there was no longer suspense about the victory, and he even had the leisure to look back to admire the embarrassed posture of the Winter, but his face changed sharply when his eyes fell on the open cannon window of the Winter.
A sense of foreboding rose in the black helmsman's heart, and he shouted at the pirate at the helm, "Quick, left helm!" ”
However, it was too late for him to speak, and the next moment the Severe Winter swept away its previous weak appearance, showing its fangs, and Hutchison's brilliant performance deceived everyone and won himself the best offensive position, and he almost fired at the Vader, the dense shells as if to tear the latter apart.
The Vida suffered a devastating blow to the starboard side, and the pirates on board were staggered, and the attack on the other pirate ship also stopped, so the latter did not hesitate to start fighting back.
The sudden change attracted everyone's attention, and everyone on the Jackdaw was no exception, but they didn't expect that danger was also quietly approaching them at this moment.
The pirates on the lookout had not forgotten Zhang Heng's instructions and had been vigilant, but as far as the eye could see, there was a vast sea, and he didn't see any other ships, in fact, he himself felt a little too nervous, because even if there were any more enemies, it would take at least half an hour from the appearance to the time they sailed into their range, and this time was enough for them to prepare.
So when the first enemy suddenly appeared from the side of the ship and slit the throat of an unlucky ghost, no one realized that they had been attacked, and the first to react was the pirate on the lookout, although he was also attracted by the sudden backlash of the Severe Winter on the other side, but because he had been condescending, he was the first to notice the abnormality on the deck, and finally shouted the word "enemy attack", but then he was shot in the neck by a blow arrow and fell to the side.
However, he reminded that the pirates on the deck also spotted the intruders, and when they saw the wet clothes of the group, Anne immediately understood where they came from, and the Harsh Winter had passed by the Jackdaw when it went to intercept the later pirate ship, and this group should have taken advantage of that time to dive into the water, but they did not dare to act immediately, and waited until the other side of the Vader was besieged before taking the opportunity to launch an attack.
The red-haired girl was not surprised, she was thinking that she was left on the ship and had nothing to do, but a battle came to the door, Anne licked her lips, drew the saber at her waist and met her at the first time.
With the boatswain taking the lead, the pirates of the Jackdaw also quickly entered the battle after the initial panic, and Di Freina was secretly glad that Zhang Heng left the main elite on the ship, and the latter even included cooks, carpenters and ship doctors among the thirty people who wanted to fill the headband, plus the pirates on the lookout found it in time enough, and the first wave of sneak attacks on the opposite side only killed three or four people, and did not cause a large area of panic.
After that, the Jackdaw was led by Anne and quickly stabilized the situation, and the crew of the Severe Winter who sneaked up from under the water was not very many, only about twenty people, not that Hutchison didn't want to send more people, but he was worried that more people would be discovered, and he also needed to deal with the Vader, which was also the enemy he valued the most, in contrast, Zhang Heng and his Jackdaw were not too concerned by him.
