Chapter 19: Struggle for Power? Chop!
At this moment, the entire battlefield was a little quieter, and they were all intimidated by Fang Senyan's momentum. Immediately afterwards, the rest of the pirates also raised their knives and howled wildly, if it was in a normal hand-to-board battle, the attacker would inevitably deploy a certain number of musketeers to suppress the enemy. A thorn like Fang Senyan has long been beaten into a sieve by concentrated fire, but today's waves are too high, and the lifeboat is too small, even if the arquebus is carried, it must be a burden, so the gap in long-range firepower has become the Achilles heel of the Spaniards!
At this time, there was no shortage of manpower on the bell and wine glass, only the soldiers who dared to rush to the front line, after Fang Senyan stood up like this, there were a few pirates who returned to the ship because of injuries and had considerable combat experience, and when they saw the enemy's flaws, they all hastily bandaged the wounds, and followed Fang Senyan to raise his weapon and lean forward with a fierce look. But they were very vicious, not cutting people, only cutting the rope hooks on the side of the ship, as long as the Spanish sailors did not have the strength to climb up, then it was enough!
Sometimes a small thing on the battlefield can change the final outcome. The exemplary role of a few people can often inspire the morale of many more, and when the pirates who thought they were desperate suddenly realized that the enemy was "nothing more than that", confidence and courage naturally returned to them. Even though the other two Spanish lifeboats also approached the bell and the wineglass to start to join the gunwale, they found that the resistance above their heads also increased, and many Spanish sailors were unable to use the rope ladder because they were continuously stomped off, and even tried to climb directly with their bare hands, but the end of doing so was often the tragic end of the fingers being stomped alive.
Fang Senyan no longer made a move at this time, but looked at the Spanish flagship that was fighting with Black Pearl in the distance.
"If there is really a contractor behind this attack....... then you can't stop there, there must be a back-move! Because the core characters on a pirate ship are usually the captain and the first mate, usually the captain and the boatswain fight with the first mate left behind, so you must have some way to defeat the pirates led by the first mate! “
At this moment, suddenly a pirate screamed, covered his face with his hands and staggered backwards, blood gushing from his fingers, and he fell to the ground and rolled in pain. Then Fang Senyan saw a Spanish sailor and began to climb up. Fang Senyan took a step forward, and the heavy axe roared down, and the sailor flew back to the lifeboat, but was shocked to find that the enemy's lifeboat suddenly became taller, if the height difference between the bell and the wine glass was three meters at the beginning, then now it is only two meters. At such a distance, the Spanish sailors could already swing their heads and wave their weapons against the pirates in their heads, although they were still at a considerable disadvantage, but they were no longer in the same bad situation as they were at the beginning.
Fang Senyan's mind flashed instantly, but his experience in sailing on the sea was incomparably rich, and he immediately understood the enemy's vicious moves! That's ballast!
The ship is most afraid of empty cabins, once its own weight is insufficient and the center of gravity is unstable, it is extremely easy to capsize on this stormy ocean, especially when the lifeboat is used in the overboard operation, once the draft is insufficient, the violent shaking of the collision alone will cause the ship to capsize. Therefore, when these three lifeboats set sail, they must have piled up a large amount of ballast in the bilge to press down the waterline to stabilize the hull. The Spanish sailors threw the ballast into the sea, and the lifeboat itself was lightened, so of course the draft became shallower, and the entire hull would float up.
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Senyan walked around to the side, and he suddenly saw that the ballast of the Spanish sailors was impressively a square wooden box of about one meter, which contained a stone. They threw the stones into the sea, but the crates were delivered one by one to the deck of the enemy ship and stacked in rows! This undoubtedly provides a platform for the sailors on the side of the melee to set foot on! At the end of the day, the Spanish sailors who were close to the side of the ship stood on the deck of the lifeboat, their heads parallel to or even higher than the deck of the Bell and Wineglass. In this way, the swords they wield will be more lethal, more convenient to fight, and they will be able to climb to the opponent's deck without a rope hook if there is a gap!
"Interesting." A sneer appeared at the corner of Fang Senyan's mouth. He began to walk forward, slapping the head of a nearby pirate who was stumbling around like a fly. "Running around, go help over there!"
No man likes to be patted on the head, let alone these murderous pirates. But as soon as this guy looked up and saw that it was Fang Senyan, he immediately shrank his head and said in fear: "Okay, boss" and then ran in the direction that Fang Senyan pointed to.
At this time, Fang Senyan's prestige among the remaining pirates had invisibly risen to a considerable height. The vast majority of people will obey the commands he has spoken.
And Fang Senyan himself is like a tireless firefighter, rushing to wherever there is danger. These pirates also came back to their senses and understood that at this time, it was either you or I died, and they were all bloody battles regardless of casualties! The sailors of the Spanish Armada are brave, but the pirates are condescending and have the advantage of using arquebuses after all, and they have the advantage of using arquebuses.
Don't forget, before entering the nightmare space, Fang Senyan almost became the second officer of a 10,000-ton ship, he has a lot of experience in living at sea, and those management methods/concepts and scheduling methods are thousands of years ahead of the world! These remnants of the remnants left behind will be old, weak, sick and disabled, and of course they will show the courage to fight to the death in the face of desperate situations, and at the same time, under his shouting and dispatching, they will quickly form a line of defense like steel! Later, Fang Senyan even gathered a temporary arquebus team of more than a dozen people to point where to fight, once there were Spanish sailors rushing up, it would immediately be a volley of guns! No matter how elite the sailors are, it is impossible not to retreat!
Armand, who was fighting fiercely on the deck of a merchant ship, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When he was first blocked, he was admittedly desperate in his heart. No one knows better than him how bad the situation on the ship is, and Gusta in front of him is also a cunning and powerful enemy, even though his strength is not as good as his own, but he has played the "procrastination duel" to the fullest. Although Armand was anxious at the time, he could only calm down and face it, otherwise he would not talk about the bell and the wine glass, and even his own life would be thrown here!
But Armand always had to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield, and when he saw Fang Senyan stand up and bring back the bad situation step by step, he was also inevitably in a mood, and under the excitement, the silver stabbing sword in his hand flashed, and it had already nailed one of Gusta's guards in front of him from his throat. There was always a layer of rippling silver light on the tip of the slender sword, and even the blood was not stained at all.
At this time, the rotting corpse had already killed Caron's group, but the one-eyed dragon Caron let out a near-death roar, poured fire oil all over his body, and then lit it and pounced on it with open arms, hugging this monster to death! In the midst of the raging fire, Caron died on the spot, but he also burned the carrion corpse and roared in anger, and his two giant arms waved wildly, like headless flies, and he was completely out of control.
At this time, most of the remaining pirate ships also rushed to the battlefield, and began to besiege the other two merchant ships for a white-knuckle battle, the situation once fell into a white-hot state, and the situation fell into a stalemate, and the warships of the Spanish Armada in the distance actually sent a number of lifeboats to support these merchant ships, although some of the lifeboats also capsized and sank in the wind and waves, but the fatal thing is that the bell and the wine glass were docked with two more lifeboats, and the Spanish sailors on it immediately swarmed up, and the situation immediately tightened again.
Fortunately, some of the elite pirates who escaped from the merchant ships also returned to the Bell and Glass, and their participation undoubtedly gave a shot in the arm to the pirates who had been caught in a bitter battle. Fang Senyan was also unceremonious towards these guys, shouting and scolding them and sending them to the front line where reinforcements were most needed. Although most of these pirates were unruly, after seeing Fang Senyan's previous abilities, they were mostly convinced and willing to accept their orders.
But there are always exceptions to everything, when Fang Senyan ordered a few pirates who had just returned to reinforce the left deck, he was pushed back by a guy wrapped in a brown turban, this guy tilted his head and pressed his hand on the sailor knife on his waist and said:
"Why do I think Cripple Tom needs more support on his side, you don't have eyes? It's about to break over there! ”
Fang Senyan glanced at him and said lightly:
"Who are you?"
The brown turban straightened his chest:
"Now that the captain is not here, Scar Henry is in a coma, why are you a newcomer to call the shots, naturally it should be me Poison Fang Erwin to take over the ship! Everybody come with me! “
The latter sentence was said to the group of temporary arquebusiers behind Fang Senyan, and Fang Senyan smiled toothily and said gently:
"You're right."
At this time, Fang Senyan had already put down the heavy axe for the convenience of command, but snatched a sailor knife from the corpse of the dead Spanish sailor and put it on his waist.
