Although Anne felt that it didn't matter, Zhang Heng still arranged a separate lounge for her on the ship.

It is the place where the original ship's backup officers lived, and the space was not large, about six square meters, but it was enough for one person to live.

Anne now took off her shirt and lay on the bed, asking Zhang Heng to change the gauze for the wound on her back.

There is no ship doctor on the Jackdaw, which is also a helpless thing, because not only the Jackdaw, but now all the pirate ships in Nassau are short of ship doctors, and even many people who are not medical professionals are hard-pulled to the ship as long as they know a little bit of daily knowledge, and some pirates will go to sea to rob people if they are forced to hurry.

Even so, at least half of the ships still do not have a ship doctor, and the level of doctors in this era is also generally worrying, although there are surgical procedures, but there is no concept of sterilization. Therefore, Zhang Heng is still more accustomed to doing it himself, he bandaged the wound of the red-haired girl, and the latter sat up from the bed very generously, and did not shy away from anything, just dressed in front of someone.

Zhang Heng then said to Anne, "It's hard work. ”

He was talking about what happened on the Happiness before, because he was worried that the other side would see their numerical inferiority, Zhang Heng brought almost all the people who could fight, only non-combat professions such as cooks and carpenters remained, and Zhang Heng also distributed weapons to them, and asked them to stand on the deck of the Jackdaw and charge their heads.

But even so, when he boarded the Happiness with thirty people, he could still feel the hesitation and unwillingness of the sailors on the ship, especially when everyone was grinding and stumbling when handing over weapons, and the captain's eyes were even more evasive.

After collecting the weapons, Anne volunteered to take someone down there to inspect the cargo in the hold, but it turned out that it was there that they encountered an ambush, and some of the young naval cadets were unwilling to be held hostage by pirates like this, and changed clothes with the sailors on the deck, a total of twelve people, hiding in the cargo hold.

There were only six pirates with Anne at the time, and the battle broke out without warning as the seven men reached the door of the warehouse.

Anne reacted the fastest, and immediately lay on the ground, while the pirate behind her was not so lucky, and was directly shot in the head, and then the red-haired girl jumped up from the ground and slashed over a naval cadet in front of her, while pulling out the dagger at her waist with her left hand and stabbing the other in the chest.

However, at this moment, her situation is also very dangerous, the pirate side is at a disadvantage in numbers, and the people behind are caught off guard, and they have not reacted at this time, which is equivalent to letting Anne fall into the siege alone.

Although she used the fastest speed to kill the two, but the other people's attacks also came, the red-haired girl lowered her head and dodged a black gun not far away, but then she was slashed in the back by a knife, but she just snorted, her body shook, and the wound on her back aroused the ferocity in her bones, and she directly slashed to death the person who attacked her with a backhand.

In less than half a minute, she killed two enemies one after another in one go, and seriously injured one another, without blinking her face or eyes.

Where had the naval cadets who were still training in the school seen such a fierce opponent, and the rest of them were all shocked by the momentum of the red-haired girl, and no one dared to make another move.

At this time, the five pirates behind also rushed in, so the morale of those students who could not be allowed to gather completely collapsed, although they still occupied the advantage in numbers, they all obediently handed over their weapons one by one.

The people above the warehouse also heard the gunshots from below, and the sailors who had already surrendered suddenly became agitated, Zhang Heng knew that now was not the time to pay attention to humanitarianism, and he was more worried about Anne's safety in comparison, so he decisively chose the quickest solution.

Zhang Heng pulled out the short musket on his chest as fast as he could, and directly pulled the trigger on the captain of the Happiness, and as the latter fell to the ground in disbelief, the crowd suddenly quieted down.

Originally, many people looked at Zhang Heng's youth, thinking that he would look forward and be timid in the face of the chaotic situation, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to fight for a look, but after seeing this shot, the fire that had just risen in his heart was extinguished again.

After regaining control of the deck, Zhang Heng immediately sent five more people down to help, but at this time, Annie had already walked up with the rest of the pirates, and the red-haired girl's back was still bleeding, but her expression was like nothing had happened, she waved her hand and let the pirates behind her throw twelve heads on the deck, looked around, and said with a grin, "Who else wants to try?!" ”

Until this moment, everyone on the Happiness finally gave up the idea of resisting completely, and no one dared to move around casually until the pirates transported all the goods on the ship to the Jackdaw, and then Zhang Heng asked people to carry some food and fresh water back from the ship to ensure that the Jackdaw could return to Nassau smoothly.

This battle not only made all the sailors on the Happiness honest, but the pirates on the Jackdaw also changed their eyes when they looked at Anne, especially the five pirates who went down to the cargo hold with her and came back alive, and then looked at Anne with fear and admiration in their eyes.

On the way back, the details of the battle were told countless times, and most of the pirates had relatively simple heads, and many of them had privately expressed their dissatisfaction with the captain's appointment of women as boatswains, but at the same time they would worship and respect the strong from the bottom of their hearts.

After this incident, there was no one on the ship who spoke about Anne's gender, and the latter further secured her position as boatswain of the Jackdaw, but at the cost of not being able to get out of bed for three days.

The knife did not leave the other party's strength, the wound was very deep, and the muscles in the girl's back were completely torn apart, but fortunately, the battle ended quickly enough, Zhang Heng dealt with Anne at the first time, and the red-haired girl's recovery was strong enough, so that she jumped up again before approaching the land.

Anne tugged at the wound as she got dressed, bared her teeth, and said a little strangely, "When did you become so polite?" I'm here to help, not to make trouble for you, and since you've appointed me as boatswain on this ship, I'm sure I'll have to show some boatswain spirit. ”

"I know you're very skilled, but it would have been a reasonable choice to step back to the deck in that case." Zhang Heng said helplessly.

"And then they had the experience of a successful sneak attack, and we would have to pay a lot more to take the cabin, and the guys on the deck would get restless." The red-haired girl said with a straight face.

Zhang Heng was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect Anne to think about it so carefully, this is not like his usual grinning character, "So is this what you really thought at that time?" ”

"No, I just thought it was my first battle since I became a boatswain, and I couldn't run away anyway, otherwise it would be a shame."
