Chapter 69: Suddenly
When Hannah heard Fred say this, she shook the hilt of the bayonet sword pinned to her waist and did not speak.
The other teammates have no regrets, the two pirate generals' men are fighting in this sea area, of course they should stay away, are they still watching the show?
Just as Fred gave the order to stay away, the situation in the telescope changed.
The two sides who were still fighting just now naturally saw the "Riptide Seagull", an uninvited guest who broke into the battlefield.
And after the uninvited guest reached the edge of the center of the battlefield, he "quickly" unfolded the side to reveal the artillery.
This made the commander of the corsair ship flying the flag of "Vice Admiral Dusk" on the starboard side of the "Riptide Seagull" without the slightest hesitation and gave the order to open fire.
When the "Riptide Seagull" had just turned its bow, in the eyes of the pirate ship flying the flag of "Admiral Blood", this uninvited guest who had broken into the battlefield was turning the bow of the ship and rushing towards its own ship.
The commander of that ship was about to give the order for an artillery bombardment.
Suddenly, the cannon sound of the "Lieutenant Admiral Dusk" flotilla on the opposite side was heard.
The commander of the seventh branch of the "Blood Admiral" "Blood Claw", the captain, "Blood Bonus Claw" Chansler, narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his fist, and signaled to suspend the attack first.
Next to him, the ship's doctor, who was also the most sober person on the entire ship, spoke:
"Captain, Moros seems to have taken this ship as our reinforcement."
"Blood Bonus Claw" Chansler nodded, "I can see it too, and I ordered to go down, don't rush to fire, the bow of the ship is tilted to the right, and observe the situation." ”
"Good captain," agreed the doctor.
In his opinion, this is the best option at the moment.
Moros, the captain of the fourth branch of the "Vice Admiral Dusk" on the opposite side, is an old opponent, everyone is quite familiar, no one wants to eat anyone in a short time, at this time a ship suddenly appeared, and Moros thought it was our reinforcements, and chose to open fire at the first time.
Sure enough, the people of Fusak don't have many brains.
This would have turned our bow to the right, and in the eyes of the uninvited guests in the middle of the battlefield we were blocking their path, while Moros seemed to us to be aiming our starboard guns at their bow.
Thinking of this, the doctor began to convey the captain's orders.
On the other side, on the "Riptide Seagull", the sudden attack really caught Captain Fred off guard, and Tony next to him didn't understand why the ship of the "Lieutenant Admiral Dusk" would directly abandon the "Blood Admiral" and choose the "Riptide Seagull" as the target.
However, the shock was short-lived, and Fred and Tony were also experienced and reacted immediately.
Tony was in charge of calling the sailors, and since there was no combat mission, the sailors were not fully on duty, and not all of them were in combat positions, and as the first mate, Tony had to call them all up.
Fred, on the other hand, observed the ocean current and the direction of the wind, and gave the order to turn the rudder to the right with all his might, increase the power, and strive to get out of the battlefield as quickly as possible.
In his opinion, as long as they broke away as soon as possible, the two pirate ships should not chase them, since they were exchanging fire here, there must be a reason to have to fight, and an inconsequential "passerby" ship that had already run away was certainly not enough to make the two sides give up fighting each other.
However, the captain of Vice Admiral Dusk's fourth sub-ship, the "Dusk Blade", offered a bounty of 3,800 pounds for the great pirate, and "Crazy Blade" Moros obviously didn't think so.
In his opinion, this is the reinforcement sent by the "blood admiral" fleet, otherwise how could he just break to the edge of the scene and immediately start preparing for battle?
It must have been premeditated, and intelligence also showed that the "Blood Admiral" fleet did have several ships in the nearby waters, but they were reinforcements from his own side, and it would take longer for the other ships under the "Vice Admiral Dusk" to rush over from the southern waters of the North Sea.
Therefore, if the opposite side wants to make a detour, it is absolutely impossible to let them go, once it is flanked from both directions, the "Twilight Blade" will be dangerous.
The best way to do this is to sink a ship quickly and with all your might, and Russell the Great left many famous sayings when he went on a campaign, one of which was, "It is better to break one of the enemy's fingers than to hurt five of them." ”
The situation in front of him was obviously like this for Moros, so after he saw that the ship of the "Blood Bonus Claw" Chansler was also preparing to "flank" him, he did not hesitate to give the order for a second salvo to shell the uninvited guests in the middle of the battlefield.
Strive to sink the slightly smaller ship in the shortest possible time.
By the time all the crew of the Riptide Seagull had moved into combat positions, the second round of shelling had arrived.
At this distance, suffering two consecutive salvos, if it had not been reinforced by the "Riptide Seagull", I am afraid that it would have been hit hard.
Even the "Riptide Kamgull", which had been reinforced, suffered a lot of damage.
A secondary mast was blown off directly, and several sailors were wounded.
By this time, the ship of the "Blood Bonus Claw" Chansler had already aimed its guns on the starboard side at the bow of the fourth sub-ship of the "Vice Admiral Dusk", the "Dusk Blade".
Boom –
Even though the order to turn the rudder had been given, the "Dusk Blade" was concentrated in the bow of the ship by the gunfire of the "Bloodclaw".
In order to prevent being "trapped" and at the same time to allow the guns on the port side to fire another salvo, "Blade" Moros immediately ordered to go around to the left side of the "white ship", so that the two ships of the "blood admiral" fleet were on the same side to avoid being "flanked".
In this way, the three ships began to move in this area.
In this way, Fred discovers a very serious problem, the "Riptide Seagull" is always in the middle of two pirate ships.
In the eyes of the "Bloodclaw", this "white ship" is always in the middle, helping itself to resist the artillery fire from the "Dusk Blade", and when they fight for both sides, they will harvest themselves, and the advantage is mine.
In the view of the "Twilight Blade", it was the own side that had been working hard to move and fight, so that the two ships of the other side did not form an encirclement, but the "white ship" was about to sink after several rounds of shelling in a row, and the "Crazy Blade" Moros felt that his tactics were perfectly executed, and the advantage was mine.
The situation of the "Riptide Seagull" in the middle is not so good, because it is an encounter, the side is completely unprepared, and its own firepower is not stronger than that of the opposite side, and after a few rounds of artillery fire, the situation has become precarious.
The most terrible thing is that it is always in a state of surroundment, and the "Riptide Seagull" cannot get out of the battlefield, although it also returned the "Dusk Blade" several rounds of shelling, but its condition is even worse, and it is even at risk of sinking at any time.
Although the middle and low-level transcendents are no longer human to some extent, on the sea, once there is no ship, they can almost only be slaughtered by others.
Tony retracted his telescope to look at the Twilight Blade and looked at Fred:
"Captain, make a decision quickly, we don't have much time left."
