Chapter 134: Tumbler

In this way, the Jackdaw pierced the enemy's side with its ramming angle, then turned it sideways through the left full rudder and aimed its own side at the enemy's side.

The enemy ship was at an inclined angle, and although the guns were still in the muzzle, the soldiers had already begun to slide down to the other side of the ship, and countless piles of supplies and shells fell on their heads, and they could not fire at all.

At a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, all the Jackdaw gunners were ready and waiting for the captain's orders.

"Standby, standby!"

Gordon shouted loudly that he was going to wait for the enemy ship to fall a little further to the side.

The Spanish cruiser had already tilted its hull at an angle of almost forty degrees, and the rate of dumping was already getting slower.

"Fire!" Gordon yelled.

Boom Boom Boom !!

The sky was covered by the violent smoke of gunpowder, and the iron bullets sprayed by the flames all pierced the ship's side armor firmly, and twenty shells made the ship's side look pierced, and from the gun position, it was even possible to see the desperation of the soldiers inside the enemy ship, grasping the ropes and things that could be fixed, and the flames were already burning in the ship.

"They're almost finished. ”

That's what everyone thinks.

Those shells of weight will act as the last straw, both in terms of impact and the weight they carry.

But unexpectedly, the shell directly penetrated the hull, and a hole was punched in the side of the ship on the other side, which caused a lot of soldiers and cargo inside the Spanish battleship to fall into the sea, and then the ship's rollover slowly stopped.

Most of the bottom of the ship could be seen clearly, and the angle of inclination had reached forty-five degrees, but it was like this, stopped, and then gradually corrected the hull like a tumbler.

Gordon was stunned as he watched this scene, and then had a bad premonition about what was about to happen.

"Watch out for impacts!"

It was already too late to turn the ship around when I saw the cruiser smash into it.

Bang! Boom!!

The violent impact directly smashed the sides of the two ships, countless planks flew one after another, and the gun fixations on the deck were broken, and they began to slide to the side, falling directly into the water with a sailor.

The catastrophe hurt everyone and watched the shattered planks fly overhead, and then the Jackdaw began to fall to the side.

"Hold on, everybody!"

At such a critical juncture, there is only one person strolling, and that is Serena.

Holding the black cat in one hand, she walked on the ship's floor, looking at Gordon with some curiosity: "Are you all right?"

Gravity completely lost its effect on him, and she looked very leisurely holding a black cat.

"Of course there is, help, Serena, if you really are a witch. ”

Gordon held on to the rudder to prevent his body from falling to one side, the hull had tilted at a thirty-degree angle, and the cruiser was still leaning towards this side.

"I'm sorry Gordon, but I don't know how to manipulate the sea yet. ”

Serena blushed a little, standing on the dangerous ship's tower, but nothing hit her, as if there were eyes in the back, or rather something had bypassed her.

"So Serena, what the hell are you doing here? Gordon suppressed his helplessness and said in a tone that was close to calm.

"I'm just looking to see if there's anything that can help. ”

“...... Is there one?"

"Of course, I'm helping you take care of Quirin. ”

"Well, thank you Serena, you can get me back to the captain's room now!"

......

The ship did not completely overturn, and when a limit was reached, the whole ship stopped and creaked.

The ballast at the bottom of the ship and the captured cannons helped the Jackdaw stabilize the hull, and then flicked back, and the hull of the ship fell sharply towards the cruiser's position, and the two ships were now two colliding tumblers, but the distance had been widened.

The collision pushed the ship away, but the sailors on both sides were almost heavily damaged, whether it was a jolt or a cargo shell, and now whichever side could recover could regain the lead.

"Mickey!

Gordon shouted to the sailors in the cabin.

"I can't do it, the captain, the shells are still rolling around, and the gunners are injured. ”

The concussion hadn't stopped, and Gordon looked at the eight sailors who had already fallen into the water, and he couldn't afford to repeat the mistakes of the past.

In the last battle, the Jackdaw lost a total of seven sailors, three of whom were overboard and swept away by the waves, or swept to the bottom of the ship.

Neither ship was yet to regain its combat effectiveness, and Gordon shouted as he dropped the rope.

"Throw the extra rope down, and the rope ladder down. ”

The sailors endured their physical discomfort and prepared to rescue the sailors who fell into the water first, and the two ships came to a stop because of the collision, and these sailors only had to hold on to the ropes and not get lost in the sea.

The two ships were separated by less than seventy meters, so they could almost be said to be close at hand, and there was hardly a standing enemy to be seen on the deck.

They were the first to be hurt much worse than the Jackdaw,

As the minutes ticked by, the shaking of the ship gradually calmed down, and the sailors gradually gained a foothold, even with blood on their heads, but the scimitars in their hands were not loosened.

Every second is an opportunity, and since the artillery cannot be used, then engage in broadside combat.

"Hook the enemy ship!"

The sailors found a fixed rope from the messy and broken side of the ship, and countless boarding hooks were thrown over and began to draw the two ships closer.

The soldiers on the cruiser looked at the approaching Jackdaw, their ship was close to the side of the enemy ship, and the two impacts were almost completely destroyed, and the whole ship was already suspended in a strange posture at sea, whether it was a cannonball, a musket, a scimitar, or a sailor, almost all thrown into the sea, thanks to the huge gap, which tore a third of the side of the hull.

The huge and heavy bronze prime minister of the Jackdaw also smashed a large part of the hull, killing a lot of people, and making a huge opening in the bottom of the ship, the ship was constantly flooding, and it could barely hold on for long.

And the enemy is still attacking frantically, as if they don't know what fear is, desperately pulling the ropes, trying to kill them all.

"Hold on to the soldiers, you are the Royal Spanish Navy, nothing can be feared by you!"

The captain escaped by tying himself to the rudder, but when he stood up, he saw a complete rout, and almost no one had the courage to resist.

But they could not fail, and dragged the ship here until the battle was decided head-on, as he had received.

"Sir, we're out of weapons!"

One soldier climbed up from the deck in a daze, his head covered in blood, dust and sawdust sticking to it.

"Then use your fists, soldiers, and we will defend our ships!"

"Yes sir!"

Young and hot-blooded soldiers have made it their duty to obey orders, and now that orders have been given by their superiors, they look for anything that can be used as a weapon, an iron hook, a plank, or even a piece of rope.

But the blood did not stop the cannons, and the guns on the deck on one side of the Jackdaw were almost completely destroyed, but the cabin was still functional, and some sailors gradually touched the cannonballs rolling on the ground and the powder packets wrapped in oiled paper, and then stuffed them in.

"Free fire!"
