Assassin’s Adventure

Chapter 59: cannon range

The so-called jealousy at the meeting of the enemy refers to Gordon's state at this time. He almost died at the hands of this group of pirates, and his friend was also missing. When he saw this familiar ship again, he was completely angered. Mind: "You all deserve to die!"

Gordon stepped directly to the top of the ship building, and took over the control of the ship from Allen at the position of the rudder.

"All the sailors go into combat positions, fill the cannonballs, take out your muskets, and drive the pirates to the bottom of the sea!"

After Gordon's order ended, almost everyone was stunned for a moment, and these sailors who had just experienced sailing were instinctively a little scared.

"The captain ordered everyone to enter the combat post!"

Allen shouted from the side that after the Black Pearl incident, he had 100% trust in Gordon, and he also implemented that theory. In the face of pirates, cowardice is useless, only blood and death can frighten him. Hold on to the outlaws.

His shouting completely awakened these dazed sailors, and then began to run quickly, taking out a large number of long guns, gunpowder, and shells from the cabin.

As the boatswain, Mitch urged and reminded every crew member: "Prepare five shells for each cannon, and then take a chain shot. When fighting, obey the captain's order to fire, trust him, and we will win!"

"Roar! Kill those pirates!"

A sailor shouted, prompting more responses: "Kill those pirates!"

These are in their twenties, full of blood and justice, and their minds are not complicated. Encouraged by Gordon's lofty reputation and glorious record, all the blood is instantly ignited.

Coolidge looked at Gordon. Although he didn't know what made the young captain make such a rash decision, they were no longer the weak Pearl. They had powerful firepower and were no longer fearful. Pirates out.

Looking at the resolute look above, Coolidge knew that this time there might be a lot of casualties among the sailors, but he still resolutely supported his decision, because this was their captain, the person with the most power on the ship.

Coolidge pulled out his musket, and began to look at the approaching enemy ship.

"900 meters!"

The lookout estimated the distance and shouted loudly.

"The bow gun, fire!"

The sailor ignited the cannon on the bow, and there was a loud roar. The flames pushed the twelve-pound cannonball to fly fast in the air, and then slammed into the pirate ship's building.

The flying stubble and the blazing flames caused a burst of cheers from the sailors.

The rapid approach of the Jackdaw caused the pirates to panic, and most of them had already jumped over the ship to engage in the battle.

This was the first time that a merchant ship dared to take the initiative to attack a pirate ship without hesitation or cowardice.

At this time, on the pirate ship Fulin, the pirate captain watched the fast approaching Jackdaw and made a decisive decision.

"Everyone back to the boat! Someone has come to smash the scene, let me see who is so bold."

By virtue of its large hull, the Flinken has already beaten the Dutch merchant ships to the point of being unable to fight back. In twenty minutes at most, the enemy will surrender, and they will also plunder the ship and then drive away.

Countless pirates forced back the sailors they were facing, and then used ropes to return to the Fallinn. Of course, there were also people who were too late to retreat and were surrounded by sailors and chopped into meat sauce.

"It's our reinforcements!"

The morale of the Dutch merchant ships began to shake, and the captain with a moustache shouted: "Cut the enemy's ropes, the gunners are back in place, and give them a shot!"

But the imagination is good. The sailors finally re-entered the gun emplacements, and before they could refill the shells, they directly ushered in a round of shelling from the Fallink.

Boom! ! !

The whole ship was punched through a thousand holes.

"Captain, let's run away quickly. Our ship will sink completely in another round. More than half of the sailors have been killed or injured, and there is no way to fight anymore."

The first mate rushed to Captain Moustache's side and pleaded, "I really can't fight anymore, they only have less than twenty-five sailors."

It was a cowardly act to run away at such a time, but looking at the broken foremast, the deck full of flames, and the dead bodies of sailors and pirates lying on the ground, I told them to leave quickly.

He took one last look at the British flag, remembered the ship, and gave the order to escape: "Sail again, let's go!"

The pirates had already abandoned this small merchant ship, because they were also a little panicked. When the captain of Flinken saw the full-sailed naval battleship on the opposite side, he already had the idea of ​​running away. The Jackdaw belongs to the cruiser. The level, except that the ship is not blue and white, is exactly the same as the naval battleship.

They took the initiative to cut the rope, then turned to the left and started to flee.

However, the Jackdaw was already full sail and had extremely fast speed, so this pirate ship that was just starting out was not able to escape.

The Jackdaw caught up from the left side of the pirate ship, 400 meters away, and aimed at the side of the ship.

"Fire!" Gordon shouted, pulling out his machete.

"Fire!" Full of blood, the sailors repeated the captain's order loudly, igniting the leads of the artillery.

Boom boom boom! ! !

The new ship, the Jackdaw, has an excellent quality of artillery~www.wuxiaspot.com~ high range and accuracy. In the fierce smoke of gunpowder rising, the Fallinn ushered in the first round of artillery baptism.

"what……"

The pirate was covered in flames, then screamed and fell into the sea.

At this time, the pirate ship finally completed the artillery preparation.

"Fire! Free to fire!"

Originally, five cannons were missing from the first cannon baptism of the Jackdaw, and because of the lack of accuracy and range, almost none of them hit, and they all fell into the sea. The inferior 10-pound artillery they used could not bear more The intense burning of gunpowder, the range is not even 400 meters.

The heart of the pirate captain was a little cold. Naval warships are not so easy to fight.

"Captain, the opposite side is beyond the range of our artillery!"

"Captain?"

The only advantage they have over merchant ships is that pirates are not afraid of death when they are in close quarters, while ordinary sailors are prone to collapse, and this captain makes a decisive decision.

"The left rudder is full, and the ship is close to the opposite ship to reduce the attack area. The sailor looks for an evasive position. Let's move up and fight close-quarters."

But at this time, the Jackdaw was not at all soft-handed. The sailors who had not suffered any damage had complete morale and filled the shells in an orderly manner. They moved quickly and completed the loading within thirty seconds.

"Keep firing!"

Mickey ordered, then rushed to the deck to find Gordon: "Captain, the enemy is ready to take over, we..."

Sailors have never experienced this, and they are easy to fear and retreat, and taking over the ship is not a good choice.

"Inform Sailor Gate to fill with chain bombs, it's not so easy to get close."

Gordon looked at the pirate flag flying in the distance and sneered.
