Chapter Seventy-Five: Embarrassment
Gordon and his party returned to the Jackdaw, which was no longer stranded, and under the arrangement of Alan and Kurich, the Jackdaw had returned to the water, and the sailors began to carry the supplies from the boat.
"Captain, have you found the location of the treasure?"
Alan asked with some joy when he saw Gordon and his party come back so early.
But Gordon's expression was a little strange, and then he shouted: "All sailors speed up, all get on board first!"
Alan was a little confused, and could only watch as Gordon boarded the ship through the stairs first.
He quickly grabbed Mickey: "What's the matter?"
"I'm ready for war, go up and say. ”
Mickey replied simply, and then climbed straight up.
"Everyone, get ready to board!"
Alan instructed the sailors below, and then followed suitably aboard the ship.
Gordon climbed directly onto the mast's lookout, pulled out his binoculars and looked at the terrain around the reef for himself, and then had a little bottom.
In the middle of this entire oasis, the ravine is directly divided, that is, it can be directly driven into it from the side, so it is very advantageous to fight or escape.
He jumped off the mast and ascended to the ship's tower: "All the sailors are ready to set sail, raise the dinghy, raise the sails, raise the anchor. ”
The sailors on deck began to move, picking up the sailors who had climbed up from the dinghy, and then pulling the cargo directly up together, completing the sailing and anchoring as fast as possible.
"Gordon, what's wrong?"
Kulic looked at his actions with some confusion.
"We have to do a fight, opposite is the Black Pearl, if we get the treasure, we can't get rid of it at their speed, we can only do one, if they get the treasure, we will have nothing, we can't drag, just sink them. ”
Gordon originally wanted to get the treasure, and then the people on both sides would divide life and death, but now it seems that this battle will have to be fought sooner or later, so it is better to directly attack by surprise, and the first round of artillery bombardment will cause damage to the enemy, which will be much easier to fight.
Mitch hesitated a little: "Captain, didn't we just negotiate with them......"
"Mitch, do you know what's the most thing on the sea?"
The latter shook his head.
Gordon continued: "Talk to pirates about treaties. ”
When everything was ready, the whole ship began to move and began to move along the edge of the oasis towards the northern entrance.
"All sailors, the cannon is loaded with shells, but do not open the muzzle and wait for the captain's order, the musket is hidden under the side of the ship, do not be seen, reload the bullets!"
Now that the decision has been made to go to war, then prepare all for battle.
And the sailors are still a little dazed, they originally came to hunt for treasures, why are they going to start fighting?
But Gordon's prestige was so great that the sailors had begun to trust their captains unconditionally, and some had even begun to boil with enthusiasm, and Gordon's hatred of pirates had begun to affect the young crew.
Two ships began to enter the narrow passage, the Jackdaw from the north and the Black Pearl from the south, and the two ships headed in opposite directions, aiming for the middle of the abyss.
And then, and then it's embarrassing.
Because the twenty-width channel was just a little longer than the width of the Jackdaw, and Black Pearl even had a slight bump when sailing, Jack controlled the ship, and then the two ships were blocked face to face without accident.
“......”
“......”
In this case, only the Jackdaw's bow cannon can damage the Black Pearl, and a cannon of twenty or thirty cannons may be able to break a lot of things, and by this time someone else has already washed up on your ship through the shallow water.
The ship is different from the car, this is a thing that does not reverse at all, the two ships are ten meters apart, and both occupy the channel to death.
"Get out!" shouted Gordon, "so that neither of our ships can move!"
"Why didn't you quit!"
Jack Clark leaned on the rope on the side of the boat and looked at Gordon with a funny expression. "Captain Gordon, I can see the musket you hide under the side of the ship, how cunning it is. ”
Ten meters apart, it's the equivalent of face to face for two ships.
Gordon's face was full of indifference: "Jack, what do you say about your ship's muzzle open?"
Jack turned his head to look at Gibbs on the side and asked in a low voice, "Damn, didn't I tell you to wait for my orders?"
And Gibbs was at a loss.
"Jack, let's make a discussion, you get the boat out, I know that the black pearl has oars and can get out, and my ship can only move forward, you just need to wait at the entrance for us to finish fishing for the treasure, okay?"
Jack touched his chin with one hand and thought carefully for a long time, as if it was such a reason, at that time, his ship's gunwales were directly aimed at the ship, afraid that he would not hand over the treasure?
"Wait, I could have taken the treasure here and left, why did I do that?"
Gordon pouted, how can this Captain Jack Sparrow learn to be shrewd.
"Aren't you afraid that your ships will find some Royal Navy, or Spanish troops, or the East India Company, or whatever? ”
The question stumped Jack again, and then turned to Gibbs to the side, "Does he have a point?"
Gibbs almost choked himself to death with a sip of wine, what was the point? But this 1 in 1,000 probability was not much to bet on, wouldn't it be stupid if it was true?
"Captain, he has a point. ”
"Agreed, then it's settled, Gibbs, you get out of the way, I'm going to dive with Gordon. ”
Gibbs looked at Gordon on the other side, and finally nodded, Gordon shouldn't have been so crazy to kill Jack directly.
"Raise the diving bell!"
The sailors, under Gordon's orders, opened the deck, the cabin, and the passage at the bottom, and then hoisted the huge diving bell through the winch, and the time had come to noon, and now both the water temperature and the sun were just right.
Jack was left alone in the shallows, watching the diving bell go down, and watching Black Pearl paddle back.
One was unsteady and crashed directly into the reef on the side, which made Jack instantly a little furious, and shouted: "Hey, you all be careful for me, this is my ship!"
Gordon descended from the Jackdaw, and the sailors found empty barrels, tied them to stones and made nearly thirty small air containment devices, and then slowly lowered them.
"Would you like some rum?"
Gordon brought down two bottles of rum from the boat, handed one bottle to Jack, then bit open the other bottle and drank it in a big gulp, even if the water temperature at this time is at this time, you will feel chills all over your body after staying for a long time, and it is a habit to drink some wine to warm up.
"Wow, I love it. When Jack saw the rum, he poured it into his mouth without the slightest hesitation: "Delicious." ”
