Chapter 233: The End of the Kent

The whole battle lasted about twenty minutes, before Zhang Heng and the others played a key role in the killing and wounding of the musket team, and the pirates on the Jackdaw were vengeful, but even in this context, they still paid a great price for attacking the ship's cabin.

Billy was also shot for this, but fortunately it was only a bruise, Zhang Heng also joined the battle, he boarded the Kent and began to look for the commander on the opposite side, but Walden has been under the close protection of the soldiers, and the opposite side is also looking for him, trying to kill him as the captain to break the morale of the Jackdaw.

Both sides are very cautious, Zhang Heng's reliance is on his marksmanship, while Walden's side is better than more manpower, and well-trained, neither side takes any advantage, but the navy in other places can't hold on to such a stalemate, in desperation, Walden can only retreat to the second deck, and a fierce tug-of-war broke out between the two sides at the staircase, and finally Anne and the vanguard took the place.

Walden, on the other hand, retreated to the captain's room with the rest of the men.

The sailors apparently knew that they had no way out, and all of them burst out with incredible combat effectiveness, and Billy organized two charges, both of which were beaten back, and left behind several corpses, much to the chagrin of the helmsman of the Jackdaw.

However, by this time, the pirates had basically taken control of the Kent, and with the handful of naval sailors in the arsenal also surrendering, only the captain's room had not yet been taken.

Billy shouted outside to make the people inside surrender, but he was answered by a string of gunshots, fortunately the latter did not stand at the gate, but even then he was very annoyed, and Zhang Heng also arrived shortly after.

"How's it going?"

"I was going to run out of ammunition and rush in, but at the moment their firepower shows no signs of abating." Billy said helplessly.

Zhang Heng beckoned behind him, and a young officer with a worried look was escorted over, "Let him tell you." ”

The latter swallowed, "When Captain Walden retreated to the second deck, I asked me to pull twelve barrels of gunpowder to the captain's room, saying that I was preparing for the worst. ”

Billy was shocked when he heard this, "What does he want so much gunpowder for?" ”

"Obviously, although he lost this battle, he did not intend to give us this ship as well." Zhang Heng paused and continued.

"Walden should be waiting for us to gather all the men and break through to the inside before detonating the gunpowder, which will not only destroy the Kent, but also kill us as much as possible, give up, withdraw all the men, leave only a few people outside the door to keep the pressure on the people inside, and the rest of the people go to the bottom warehouse to carry supplies.

"Especially the food and fresh water, with the survivors on the island, these things will definitely become more nervous, and while the ship is not yet sinking, we can move as much as we can, as well as shells and gunpowder, which we are also in desperate need now. After a quarter of an hour, whether the move is completed or not, everyone is to return to the Jackdaw, and in addition, let the ship's gunners aim at the captain's quarters, and fire the guns as soon as our men are evacuated, Walden wants to live and die with his own ship, then we will fulfill him. ”

The pirates strictly obeyed Zhang Heng's order, and after a quarter of an hour, they all withdrew to the Jackdaw, unhooked the hooks on the side of the ship, and as the two ships gradually moved away from each other, the iron cannon on the Jackdaw also spewed out tongues of fire again.

The shell hit the captain's quarters and caused a violent explosion, and the Kent was blown in two, leaving Walden and his team of naval soldiers at the center of the explosion even more boneless.

However, putting aside the enemy's position, Zhang Heng still admires the former very much, the identities of the two sides are destined to be a life-and-death battle, and from Walden's point of view, his command of this battle is also very exciting, and he almost didn't make any mistakes.

It's a pity that his understanding of Zhang Heng is far less profound than the latter's understanding of him.

Zhang Heng squeezed out almost all the information that could be squeezed out from Ford, and formulated a corresponding battle plan based on this, and finally won the victory.

On the other hand, Walden's side didn't expect to fight the Jackdaw again, and Walden naturally didn't study Zhang Heng in a targeted manner, on the other hand, his past battles to exterminate pirates brought him rich combat experience and made him conceited.

This also indirectly led to his defeat and death.

…………

Although the battle has ended, there are more things after that, Vincent continues to deal with the wounded in the infirmary, the carpenters led by Guy are also running around, repairing and reinforcing the cracks and holes on the ship, Di Freina is counting supplies and looking for a way to carry the gold onto the ship, and Zhang Heng brought a batch of food and fresh water and landed on Parrot Island as soon as possible.

While the Jackdaw and the Kent were fighting, Eric and Brooke also came to the beach with the surviving pirates, but they had no ships and the muskets in their hands could not reach that far, so they could only watch from afar, knowing that the Jackdaw had won the final victory, and there was a cheer on the beach.

Zhang Heng thought that there might not be many survivors left on the island, but it was still a bit unexpected for him to have so little, and on the way to distribute food and fresh water, he also heard the news that the black prince Sam had died in battle, and said to the black helmsman, "Mourning, do you have any plans in the future?" ”

The latter smiled wryly, "I originally wanted to kill the Kent to avenge him, which was the only motivation for me to survive on the island, but I didn't expect that ship to be solved by you so quickly, but fortunately, there are six other ships left." ”

"Well, technically there should be five, and we sank the Miranda the other day." Zhang Hengdao.

"Thank you, this time the big guy can survive all thanks to Captain Zhang Heng and your Jackdaw, after returning to Nassau, I plan to find another boat to go to sea to avenge Sam, I will make everyone involved in this matter pay the price." There was a fire burning in Eric's eyes, "But I don't force everyone to follow me to take revenge, the Vader is sinking, the most important thing is that Sam is not there, the righteous thieves are over, and the rest of the people hope that Captain Zhang Heng can take them in if possible." ”

"No problem, if you don't know what to do after you complete your revenge, you can come to me." Zhang Heng shook hands with the black helmsman amicably.

There are less than twenty survivors left on the Vader, half of whom are willing to follow Eric on his quest for revenge, and the remaining half want to join the Jackdaw.

They are all experienced veteran sailors, and they are priceless for each ship, and more importantly, the number of people is also within Zhang Heng's acceptable range, with the current personnel composition of the Jackdaw, there is no need to worry about any accidents, in addition, the other two pirate ships have also expressed their desire to join the Jackdaw, as for the Swordfish, because the captain Brooke is still there, no one plans to leave.
