Kingston is the largest port in the entire sea after Port Royal and Havana, and there are so many ships sailing every day that there are now more pirates in it, and you can't tell if they're merchant ships or pirates until they open fire.

Gordon saw a small sailing ship flying the Dutch flag, smuggling some tobacco and rum, but it was said that the rudder was broken, put away all the sails, and drifted along the current.

These were all messages that Gordon had come from talking to each other as the two ships staggered by, and even asked if the other party needed help, whether it was the Jackdaw or the White Shark to tow such a small boat more than enough.

However, the reality is that the Dutch galleon pretended to be out of control and secretly adjusted its hull position, and cooperated with another sailing ship to carry out a fierce sneak attack on the Jackdaw and the White Shark when they were unsuspecting.

The Jackdaw was attacked from the stern, and the White Shark blocked a salvo from the right side.

The distance was so close and unsuspecting that two of the Jackdaw's sailors who were busy on deck were killed instantly, and more dangerously, a cannonball smashed through the window of the captain's cabin at the stern, and the flying stubble even stabbed Andrea.

Gordon's face was horribly gloomy until he saw that the sailboat that had fired turned out to be the Dutch ship he had just passed by and wanted to help.

"Sink them all, not a single one will be left!"

"Captain's order, fire!

The bodies of the two dead sailors were carried into the cabin, simply covered with sackcloth, and Gordon carried the terrified Andrelia to the safest position on the ground floor, where she was left in the care of David and Wilson.

The pirate ships felt their fear when the White Shark and the Jackdaw, two far more conventional warships, protruded their thick guns from their sides.

The delay in firing a salvo of forty-six cannons sounded like firecrackers exploding in the ears, and the flames of the jets brought about the iron bullets of death.

Alan faithfully carried out the captain's orders, and the two salvos directly said that the pirate ship would burst, but Wilson's face was flushed like a carnival, and he began to feel that following Gordon to sink these damn pirates one by one was the life he wanted, rather than groveling to the Templars.

The sound of the cannons firing was drowned out in the waves of the sea farther away, but the light of the fire could illuminate far away, and the dark clouds spread from the north with the thunder, and the last two days of the voyage would be very difficult.

Gordon did not go to the deck to fight, but guarded the bodies of the two sacrificed brothers alone, silent for a long time, the sound of cannons exploded in his ears, but it seemed that the road up would offend many people and be full of blood.

The torrential rain soon poured down, the sky darkened, and the lightning pierced the space for a brief moment, and more ships approached in the distance, and the pirates tried to bite off a piece of meat from the Jackdaw.

"Captain, more pirates are approaching, we have to turn, our artillery reserves simply don't support so many enemies, and neither does the White Shark. ”

Alan hurried into the cabin and shouted in front of Gordon to bring Gordon back to reality, and the thunder became very harsh again.

"Turn south, call Wilson to the Jackdaw, and I'll need to talk to him. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Alan hurried up again, and Gordon lifted the sackcloth covering the two dead men, remembering the faces deeply.

"They'll pay the price, I swear. ”

He closed the eyes of the two sailors who had not had time to close their eyes, and then stepped up the wooden ladder to the deck.

Wilson braved the pouring rain to crawl over the thick ropes attached to the deck, soaking wet and letting the rain run over his leather clothing.

The captain's cabin was almost damaged, a large hole was pouring rain, the floor was covered with debris, broken planks, and a bed was also stained and dripping with rain.

"Captain Gordon, you're looking for me. ”

Wilson didn't have Gordon's pessimism, these little pirates didn't have strong hulls or large-caliber guns, they were the best enemies he'd ever met in a long time, well, they were all speed sailing ships, and they were a bit of a tough one.

"There is no place to sit here, you are free, I hope you will give me some useful advice, there may be insufficient reserves of gunpowder and shells in a head-on battle with the enemy. ”

Gordon turned around and took a surviving chart from the wall.

"Then we should go north, the little galleons that sail fast in the wind will not be able to move an inch against the wind, and the Jackdaw and the White Shark are relatively much faster, and may be able to shake them off in a day's time, and then go to Kingston. ”

"No, we're heading south, and there should be plenty of reefs in this place that will allow us to reduce the number of enemies we face at the same time. ”

Wilson frowned and looked at the position marked on the chart: "Captain, I must warn that our ship is much more susceptible to running aground than those small sailing boats. These battles could have been avoided if they had gone north. ”

Gordon nodded, "That's true, but I don't want to be harassed by these little pirates for the rest of my life, I need to have the name of the Jackdaw on the sea, just like your original red beard, so that those pirates will tremble at the sound of the name." ”

Wilson cracked his mouth and smiled, he felt that what Gordon had done made him appreciate it even more: "Actually, as long as you allow me to change the name of the ship back and hang the green sails......"

"If you still want to be a privateer, don't even think about it. ”

"Just think about it. ”

"Dragged into the reef area, they will have nowhere to run. ”

"And what about our gunpowder and shells?"

"Gunpowder can rob those pirates, use chain bullets as much as possible, disable their ships, and fight closely, while chain bullets are much easier to replenish. ”

"This will increase our casualties, we are already understaffed, the Jackdaw should have less than fifty men, and the White Shark has ten more. ”

"So it's a tough battle, I'll kill their captain directly, force more pirates to surrender, and the captives you have to fill in as soon as possible to become combative, I think you should have a lot more experience. ”

Wilson looked at Gordon a little distracted, he didn't expect the person in front of him to be so bold, but Gordon's resolute eyes infected him, making him sure that this person was not whimsical, but really relied on.

"I need more gold. ”

Gordon took out a hundred gold coins from his bosom and threw them directly at him.

"Tell every sailor that if they can fight tenaciously, each of them will be rewarded with five gold coins, and if they die in battle, Captain Gordon will personally deliver the gold to them. These coins, which you give to the sailors of the White Shark first, count as their reward for the previous battles. ”

Wilson disagreed, but suggested in a serious tone.

"These gold coins are enough, to appease the crew of the White Shark, plus those pirates who surrendered, and if you offer such a high bounty in this battle, if you can't open the battle in the future, no one will die. ”

Gordon shook his head and laughed twice: "I'm not short of money, money has the benefit of money, the personnel vacancy of the two ships is about one hundred and eighty people, I need to recruit so many crew members as soon as possible, and the sailors under Captain Gordon are not so easy to mess around." ”
