Chapter 238 Broadside Battle (Ask for Subscription)

The Queen Anne's Revenge, which was sailing downwind, was getting closer and closer to the fleet, and even if Drake fired at it, it was unmoved, and soon it was close enough to see the details of the ship's exterior without a telescope.

The hull was as grand as the Golden Deer, with an excellent straight shaft, and a black pirate flag fluttering on the tallest pole in the middle.

There are eight small windows on each side of the ship, and from them are black holes of artillery, and if they are hit directly by a salvo of guns on either side at close range, the fate of sinking is basically determined by the quality of a wooden ship of this era.

But the most striking thing is the bronze sculpture that sits on the bow of the ship like a ramming horn.

It was a statue of a woman in a long dress with long flowing hair, her hands crossed into fists against her chest, making a prayer pose.

The sculpture is exquisitely made, undoubtedly a master-level work of art, very incompatible with the term pirate, exuding a noble and holy temperament.

There are actually many ships with this kind of characteristics in history, but the most famous one that can make everyone think of it at first time is always the only one that is the most famous-

"So, is that Queen Anne's Revenge?!" Roman shouted in dismay.

"Queen Anne's Revenge?" Matthew was surprised, "That's not ......."

Olga Marie's eyes froze, "The servant on that ship is Edward Titch?" That famous Blackbeard? ”

If the ship in front of you is really Queen Anne's Revenge, then of course there will only be one captain for it, and that is Edward Titch, a great pirate nicknamed Blackbeard.

Known to later generations as 'the last pirate of the Age of Discovery', Blackbeard's fame and influence made Olga Marie have no doubt that he is qualified to be summoned by the inhibition to become a Heroic Spirit.

Drake, who was next to him, didn't understand what Olga Marie was saying, but he sensed that they were very wary of the ship.

In fact, she was just as nervous.

Forced by the threat of sixteen guns, Drake never dared to expose the side to the other side.

If only the stern is hit, there is still a chance to make up for it, but if the side is broken and a lot of water enters the ship, there is only one way to abandon the ship.

But with the speed of the Queen Anne's Revenge, it was only a matter of time before they caught up with them, and if they were caught on the flank, they would be doomed!

After some thought, Drake decisively ordered: "Everyone copy the guys and prepare to take on the broadside!" ”

"Yes, big sister!" ”

In broadside warfare, in other words, land warfare at sea, by approaching the enemy's ships at close range, directly transporting thugs to them, and directly seizing control of the enemy's ships by means of cold weapon close-quarters warfare.

It's also a very common tactic in this era, and it has proven to be very effective.

For this reason, every sailor who aspired to the sea in the Age of Discovery practiced excellent Western swordsmanship, and of course, some were skilled in other weapons.

But at least judging from Liu Yuan's observations, most of the pirates on Drake's Golden Deer are sword wielders like him, and after pulling out their weapons, their momentum has changed, and their eyes are like two people, and it can be seen from the gesture of holding the sword that all of them are masters above the standard line.

As the largest pirate group in the Atlantic, Drake's men are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Thinking so, Liu Yuan slowly pressed the hilt of the black sword with his left hand and waited silently.

As the Queen Anne's Revenge began to approach the side of the Golden Deer, the Golden Deer and the other ship on the opposite side suddenly turned in unison and directly clamped the Queen Anne's Revenge like a sandwich biscuit.

At this distance, the opponent will hurt himself by firing the cannon, and Drake and their side are the same.

"Everyone, board!!" Drake drew his flintlock pistol and fired a shot into the air as a signal for battle.

The pirates on the deck threw the rope neatly, hooked the iron hook to the edge of the deck of the Queen Anne's Revenge, and then everyone pulled the rope in unison to taut it, and the people behind quickly tied the rope to the pole.

Once the rope was tied, the pirates leaned on a rope as if they were doing extreme sports, and quickly climbed upside down towards the Queen Anne's Revenge.

But there are policies and countermeasures, and on the Queen Anne's Revenge, a group of Black Guards wearing pitch-black armor suddenly appeared, raised their weapons and wanted to cut the rope.

If the rope breaks, all the pirates who are now trying to climb will fall into the sea, and it is even more nonsense to try to run on the Queen Anne's Revenge.

Seeing this scene, Enqidu and the others jumped on the deck railing of the Golden Deer, jumped up from the Golden Deer, and directly arrived on the Queen Anne's Revenge ship.

But just when they tried to stop the black cavalry from breaking the rope, they found that their fears were meaningless.

A full row of bows and arrows were shot out of the hands of the pirates aboard the Golden Deer and landed on the deck of the Queen Anne's Vengeance, forcing the Black Guards back as the first pirates finally landed on board.

As long as you get on the ship, it is easy to say, without the remote cover of the comrades behind, a group of pirates who boarded the ship drew their swords and fought with the Black Guards.

Seeing this scene, Enkidu also calmed down, turning their attention to the three figures on the upper deck.

A scruffy uncle with a beard tied into a bunch of pigtails, dressed in a captain's robe, and wearing a hooked claw weapon in both hands.

and two women, one large and one small—one large and one small in every sense of the word—dressed in red and black.

The mature one shouldered a long old gun, and the immature one held a black grotesque scimitar.

The smell of the Servant is very obvious.

Following Matthew, Liu Yuan, who came to Enqidu slowly and behind them, looked at the three people standing above, and silently recited their real names-

Blackbeard, by Edward Teach.

The Pirate Twins, Anne Burney & Mary Reid.

Not to mention Blackbeard, the pirate twins are also two famous female pirates from the Age of Discovery.

The one with a mature figure and a red robe is Anne, who is a sharpshooter.

Short like Lori, with a long scar on her face, dressed in black is Mary, who is active as a melee assaulter.

The two servants can be said to be one heart and one body, sharing a spirit core, as long as either of the two is defeated, the other will also become unable to get up again, losing the ability to fight, in a sense this is a disadvantage.

But on the other hand, they cooperate tacitly, just like a person, if they are alone, they will be sad.

But now Liu Yuan has no such worries at all, Enqidu and they are all experienced fighters, and in terms of numbers, their side has the upper hand.

What's more, Blackbeard and the Pirate Twins are not very strong servants - although Blackbeard is well-known, his abilities are basically concentrated on the Treasure Queen Anne's Revenge - even if Enkidu and the others are in a weakened state, Liu Yuan is confident that they can win.
