Chapter 178: Not following the script at all

The first raid went well, so smooth that it didn't even use any of the knowledge points that Tiqi taught Wang Hao.

According to the script, the pirate flag was raised first.

Of course, Wang Hao has not yet named the ship, nor has he designed his own pirate flag. Therefore, I can only temporarily find a black cloth to hang on the top of the mast to show my status as a pirate.

And the Spanish smuggling ship, as written in the script, lowered the flag on the mast.

It's just that the difference is that she didn't lower the sails and stopped in place for Wang Haoyu to get what she wanted. Nor did they hang the black and white flags, indicating their determination to resist to the end.

Instead, Zhang Manfan is ready to play a game of 'you chase me, if you can catch me, if you can catch me, I'll let you he~hey~hey~'.

Wang Hao turned his head to look at Titch and gave him a look of "slapping his face at the speed of light, embarrassed or not".

Because his whole head was covered in smoke, Wang Hao couldn't see Titch's face. But even if the smoke was blown away, the thick beard on Titch's face was enough to block Wang Hao's vision.

"Hang a red flag for me! I'm going to show these cowards my wrath! ”

Titch shouted loudly, and the amount of anger in his voice was a testament to how embarrassed he had just been. Although he couldn't see his face, he could still hear it in his voice.

"No need to hang a red flag! Needless to say, they are fully loaded with goods, even empty ships, and I am confident that I can catch up! Don't worry, these kids can't run! Wang Hao hurriedly stopped the sailor who was about to hang the red flag, turned to Titch and said, "Titch, this is my ship, I am the captain!" ”

"Alright, man, your ship, you have the final say!" Titch is helpless, when the battle happens, the captain is the biggest, this is an iron law, even if he is as unruly as Edward Titch, he can't break this rule.

That's right, Titch's full name is Edward Titch, who later became the infamous 'Blackbeard' and the villain in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 4".

Of course, he is now only a quartermaster under Benjamin Hornigold, with neither his trademark Blackbeard, nor his own Queen Anne's Revenge, nor the powerful Dark Arts.

But one thing has not changed, that is, Titch's ferocity and cruelty, if this boatload of people falls into his hands, it is destined to end badly, and it is a kind of happiness to die quickly.

And this big black cauldron can only be carried by Wang Hao, the owner of the ship, in the end, so this is one of the main reasons why Wang Hao wants to show his identity as the captain very strongly.

Come out and mix, word of mouth is very important!

"All of you've worked hard, haven't you all had enough to eat! I still put all my strength on the belly of those in the tavern! Titch had no choice but to take his anger out on the sailor.

Then the sailors were unlucky, and anyone who did not exert his strength at all would be severely whipped.

"Captain, the prey is starting to drop their cargo into the sea!" It wasn't long before the lookout above the mast reported another piece of exciting news.

After all the sailors heard this, they all raised their heads and looked at Wang Hao with eyes full of expectations, waiting for him to make a decision.

Generally speaking, when the prey targeted by pirates feels that they can't escape, they will throw cargo into the sea with their lives. And the pursuing pirate ship will also weigh whether to continue the pursuit and never die, or take it when it is good and slow down to salvage the goods.

In contrast, sailors prefer to choose the latter, after all, they don't have to work hard to get a point, even if the gain is a little meager.

However, Wang Hao obviously didn't think so, "Don't worry about them, let's catch up directly, there must be more valuable things waiting for us on the ship!" ”

Although this is somewhat different from the thoughts of the sailors, after all, the captain has given orders, and he can only obey them.

"Hijacking the boat, you think it's dragon boating!" The first pirate leader in Wang Hao's life, Brother Sanpao once said such a sentence, but today it really came true.

Wang Hao's ship is fast, and the small merchant ship is not slow, especially when Wang Hao's ship is understaffed, and the merchant ship is constantly throwing down cargo to reduce weight.

But fortunately, neither ship went with the wind, and Wang Hao's helming skills were much better than that of merchant ships, and the distance between the two was gradually narrowing.

Then, just when everyone thought it would be some time before they could catch up with the merchant ships, the situation suddenly changed a little.

The merchant ship no longer threw goods into the sea, but turned the bow of the ship and drove directly at Wang Hao.

"Haha, Wang, it seems that these cowards have discovered that we don't have artillery on board, and we don't have many men on deck. It seems that they want to test our reality and see if we really dare to rush up to the broadside. ”

The experienced Titch quickly analyzed the current situation, but he did not panic at all, but calmly pointed out: "Counting those who are still hiding in the cabin and not showing up, it is conservatively estimated that there are at least 60 people on that ship, and with less than 20 people on our ship, it is barely enough to drive the ship, and the strength of the overboard battle is somewhat insufficient." If you rush hard, you may suffer a big loss. ”

With the vast expanse of the sea, it is impossible to define which is a serious merchant and which is a pirate. Even if it is done with a little finesse and does not leave people with a handle, the navy can be instantly transformed into a pirate, let alone a smuggler, driven by profits.

So a lot of smugglers will take a lot of sailors on the road, and when the time is right, they won't mind making a cameo as a pirate or privateer.

After listening to Titch's words, Wang Hao chuckled a few times, tightened the steering wheel in his hand, and shouted to everyone: "Don't worry about this, friends!" You just need to know that I, Captain Wang, will personally take down this fat, oil-flowing merchant ship. All you need to do is carry the loot back from that ship! ”

"Well," Titch touched the pistol at his waist, "since you've said so, how about I'll go crazy with you!" ”

As time passed, the two ships got closer and closer, and Wang Hao could even see that the captain of the smuggling ship was shouting and directing his men to take their weapons and prepare for battle.

Finally, when the two ships arrived at the most opportune time, as soon as the steering wheel in his hand changed, Wang Hao's new ship turned a corner, saw the opportunity to move forward at full speed, and then stopped and crashed into the smuggling ship.

Even if the new ship didn't have ramming angles, everyone could still hear a loud "click" from the smuggling ship, and the side-chord timber breaking.

The battle began without suspense, and ended without suspense.

"He is an intimidating beast, a natural troublemaker, and he is open to any challenge that lies ahead of him. I have seen him slaughter on the decks of Spanish ships, fighting like a demon on earth and sacking them. Shrewdness and bravery, not being dragged down by fame and glory are his greatest characteristics. We don't know where he came from, he plundered the Caribbean, but he never coveted money and fame. ”
