Chapter 418: An Unexpected Battle

The Queen Anne's Revenge, carrying thirty-eight cannons, was enough to take heavy damage to most of the ships in a single blow. Two Greek fires at the bow of a ship can easily burn down any ship.

Now, instead of the ironclad ships that appeared in the 19th century, there are sail battleships rampant in the ocean, and it can be said that the most feared thing is fire attack!

A sudden fire can easily destroy a powerful warship!

In this way, one can imagine the role of the two Greek fires installed in the bow of the Queen Anne's Revenge in the battle.

It can be said that the Queen Anne's Revenge is not afraid of any powerful warship at all. The premise is that it can sail within the range of the Greek fire, otherwise the Greek fire will be useless in the bull break.

……

"Captain, there's a big ship coming at us." The zombie crew knocked on Blackbeard's door, and it wasn't long before Blackbeard opened the door and walked out, standing up the stairs on the high tail tower.

He took the binoculars handed to him by the crew and observed the large ship approaching him.

At this glance, Blackbeard saw a beautiful large ship heading towards him, the ship was a double deck, and there were many gun windows, and a cursory look at the gun windows on one side was no less than dozens, and the gun windows on the other side showed that the ship had at least seventy guns.

Moreover, on this ship, Blackbeard was surprised to find that the poundage of these guns was not low, and the firepower was fiercer than that of his ship!

Smack!

Putting away the binoculars, Blackbeard's hand gently stroked the sword of Triton at his waist, and the rope on the Queen Anne's Revenge instantly came to life. Pull the sails and hoist the sails and pull the anchor chain that sank to the bottom of the sea onto the ship. Blackbeard pulled out the magic sword at his waist, "Prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

"Phew!"

Whether it was a zombie crew or an ordinary sailor, they cheered and jumped to their respective posts, and sailors kept coming out of the bilge. Coming to their respective posts to stand by, the gunners cleaned the chambers and filled them with gunpowder and shells. The rudder spun and sailed out of the bay toward the wide open sea.

……

"Blackbeard is running away?" Gibbs put down the binoculars in his hand and watched the Blackbearded Queen Anne's Revenge spin and sail out to sea, looking at Jack Sparrow in confusion.

"No, Blackbeard isn't trying to escape." Jack explained to him, "He's just going to sail to the wide open sea and fight us!" Moreover, he was eighty percent in love with this beautiful ship. ”

"Sparrow, let me see your conducting art." Jiang Ning didn't know what kind of psychology it was, but he asked Jack to command the Truth and meet the Queen Anne's Revenge.

Jack is fearless, and Blackbeard's daimyo is fierce, but Jack is not afraid. Not to mention, he now has a large ship with eighty-eight guns, and this ship is also magical, not inferior to the Queen Anne's Vengeance with Black Beard!

"Do you hear that? My first mate. Jack looked at Gibbs, who looked excited, "Did you hear what the captain was saying?" Boys, back to their respective posts, the gunners clear the chambers, reload the gunpowder, and aim well at Blackbeard. ”

"Oh roar!"

The sailors cheered, and they also wanted to see how a magic ship with such powerful firepower would turn out against the famous Queen Anne's Revenge.

After all, the Queen Anne's Vengeance is just as powerful, though far less armed than its own. But the opponent is the famous Blackbeard, and the sailors are completely lying when they say that they are not nervous.

The canvas on the mast fell, and the Truth moved its bow slightly, heading to the right; Under Jack's driver, it steers gracefully and quickly, and wants to take advantage of the position.

Relying on your own powerful firepower and the range of Blackbeard's firepower, he directly attacks Blackbeard from a distance.

……

"Who will be the opponent?" Blackbeard was silent, putting down the binoculars in his hand, the banner above the mainmast was so unfamiliar. I have never heard of it, it is the flag of any country, nor the coat of arms of any royal family in Europe!

Although he did not know who his opponent was, Edward Tici was not afraid, he was the famous Blackbeard, who in the ocean did not fear his name and his ship?

Queen Anne's Revenge, fueled by Blackbeard's black magic, increased its speed to 20 knots. The speed increased for a moment, and he began to try to gain the upper hand.

But at this time, the sea had already set up waves, dark clouds covered the top, and lightning rushed in the clouds. With a bang, a dazzling white light illuminated the dark world.

Not long after, a torrential rain fell from the sky, and the sea began to set off waves.

The two ships, all half sail high, cruising constantly in the wide open sea, touching each other little by little. However, after all, it was the guns on the Truth that had a longer range, and the Queen Anne's Vengeance was the first to enter the range of the Truth's firepower.

"Fire!" Jack gave the order after a while, and Gibbs opened his mouth wide and roared, "Fire!" ”

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The guns on the port side of the hull were fired one after another, and in the dim sea, orange flames wrapped in pitch-black cannonballs fired at the Queen Anne's revenge.

Boom, boom!

Several cannonballs hit the deck of the Queen Anne's Revenge and other places, and the flying sawdust scratched many sailors, killing several people from the jumping cannonballs, and Blackbeard's side suffered casualties in one blow. But he was only hit in a few places, and most of the shells were dodged by Blackbeard's superb driving skills.

Blackbeard looked as usual, cruising in a zigzag pattern as the ship approached the Truth. In order to reach the range of firepower, Jack knew what Blackbeard was thinking, and he kept distancing himself from each other, using his superior firepower to shoot the Vengeance. This annoyed Blackbeard, and although he dodged most of the shells, he was hit by more than a dozen shots in the hull of the ship. In this way, defeat is a matter of time, and he will be dragged down by this tactic of constantly flying kites.

The only way to avoid this is to distance yourself from each other. Keeping the opposing ship in its own fire coverage, combined with two Greek fires mounted at the bow, would be enough to turn the tide in a battle.

Blackbeard is confident that no ship on the sea is not afraid of fire. Once close to the coverage point of the Greek Fire Spray, even if it is unable to burn the opposing ship, it can cause chaos on the opposite side. At that time, his own Triton Sword can manipulate the opponent's rope and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. Capture this mighty, super-fast ship!

Blackbeard had never seen such a powerful ship on the sea, but it was still so fast. On top of that, for unknown reasons, the draft of the ship is extremely shallow, only more than 3 meters. Blackbeard can't wait to capture the ship and make it his proudest trophy.

He jerked out the Triton sword at his waist, and the Queen Anne's Vengeance instantly went from half-sail to full-sail. All the sails were opened, and with the blessing of black magic, the speed had exceeded 20 knots.

The Queen Anne's Vengeance rushed straight towards the Truth with an indomitable stance. Everyone thought Blackbeard was crazy, but those who knew Blackbeard knew that Blackbeard's first battle of his debut was to make a name for himself with this almost fatal style of play.

"Starboard guns ready!" Jack shouted, the invisible barrier that shielded everyone from the howling wind and the pouring rain. Jack steered the ship, turning the rudder quickly, and the hull of the ship headed to the right; Immediately afterwards, the cannon window on the right side opened one after another, and the muzzle of the cannon was exposed, faintly aiming at the Queen Anne's Revenge! However, while this avoided the impact of the Queen Anne's Vengeance, it also shortened the distance between them.

The corners of Blackbeard's mouth outlined a sneer, although he was also in the fire point of the Truth, but the Truth also entered the fire point of the Queen Anne's revenge under evasion.

With the orders of the commanders of both sides, the Truth and the Queen Anne's Vengeance launched a fierce artillery battle as they staggered! For a while, the thick smoke of gunpowder filled the air, temporarily obscuring each other's vision. However, Blackbeard was stunned to find that the Vengeance had suffered heavy losses under the opponent's firepower. And the other party's ships, at the moment when the shells were about to get closer, raised a barrier that emitted a soft white light! The moment the shell hit the barrier, it was blocked, and then it fell weakly into the sea.

"Fuck, it's not fair!!"
