Chapter 220 Charge

The further away from the beach, the safer Jarvis feels. At this distance, Black Prince Sam and others have nothing to do with him.

And his boat and the navy fleet are getting closer and closer. As long as he can successfully board the ship, he can completely escape the danger, say goodbye to the past, and welcome a new life.

However, just when Jarvis's hanging heart was about to return to his chest, he saw the warships in the distance opening their gun windows.

Jarvis's expression changed, and he immediately turned around and spotted the Jackdaw speeding towards the port. He did not expect that Zhang Heng and others would be so bold, and were still preparing to break in even though the naval fleet had already appeared.

Jarvis cursed secretly in his heart. He didn't care whether Zhang Heng and his men fought or fled, but the other party's current actions made him miserable.

If the Jackdaw rushed towards the naval fleet like this, it would be impossible for the opposite side not to fire, and his current position would be awkward, so Jarvis had to give up his plan to board the ship immediately and began to row desperately to the other side. Go and try to distance yourself from the Jackdaw first.

Soon a ship adjusted its position and fired first, and the shells roared towards the Jackdaw.

Walden did not require all ships to fire at the same time. This was unrealistic, because there were only two navy warships in this operation, and the remaining five were armed ships of pirate hunters. Their discipline was definitely not as good as that of regular ships. Navy, fortunately, this battle is also very easy. Those pirates have just experienced a big battle, and they are drunk and crowded on the beach like lambs. As long as their pirate ship is sunk first, then they There was no strong resistance at all.

The only surprise was the Jackdaw, but they arrived in time. The latter had not had time to leave the port, and Walden naturally would not let the other party leave.

Soon, the second ship also fired. Zhang Heng's energy was more concentrated than ever before. He did not choose to drive in a straight line. Although this distance was the shortest, the blow he received was more severe.

There is no gunner on board the Jackdaw, and there is no ability to fight back at all. Whether he can leave successfully depends on whether he can break through the opponent's blockade before being sunk.

In addition to testing the sturdiness of the Jackdaw itself, it is also crucial to minimize the number of hits. Zhang Heng knew that it was impossible to completely avoid the shells, but it was indeed possible to operate selectively. Withstand some attacks and avoid those that will cause more serious damage to the hull, but this is very demanding for the person at the helm.

The best person Zhang Heng met was Hutcheson who he met when he robbed the Spear of the Goddess last time. Brooke from the Swordfish was probably second only to him.

As for Zhang Heng himself, his level 2 sailing skills can only be regarded as above-average among the captains in Nassau, but now he has no other choice. Among all the people on the ship who are still awake, his steering skills are the best. And at this time, he was the only one who could withstand the psychological pressure.

Without Zhang Heng opening his mouth, everyone was prepared to be attacked by artillery fire. Only Annie chose to stand beside him. Zhang Heng asked the latter to avoid it, but the red-haired girl just grinned at him.

Soon, shells fell on the deck, and the huge momentum plowed the deck into ravines. Broken wooden boards flew everywhere. In addition, the hull below the deck was also attacked, and this was just the beginning. As more and more ships joined the battle, the pressure on the Jackdaw increased.

Although the navy's fleet does not have as fierce a firepower as the previous Spanish treasure ship, it is superior in number, and the Swordfish helped attract the firepower before. It can even be said that the main firepower was carried by the Swordfish. Now Only the Jackdaw was left alone, and the firepower it faced increased instead of decreasing. The situation was several times more dangerous than it was then.

However, at the most critical moment, Zhang Heng became calmer than ever before, concentrating on searching for the glimmer of life amidst the fierce gunfire. He even ignored the system prompts in his ears.

Zhang Heng did not choose the breakthrough point casually, but tried to choose a position downwind. This is originally a taboo thing in naval battles. Under normal circumstances, when two ships are fighting, they will try to seize the upper hand position to facilitate the launch. attack.

However, the Jackdaw now has no offensive capabilities at all, so even if it gets the upper hand, it is meaningless. On the contrary, in the downwind, it can use the smoke produced by the opposite naval ship to cover its tracks.

The Jackdaw is now at an absolute disadvantage, and Zhang Heng must take advantage of all available environmental conditions.

The artillery deployed by Black Prince Sam on the beach also started firing at this time.

In fact, strictly speaking, the timing of firing is not good now. The navy's fleet has just arrived outside the port and is still quite far away from the beach. The lethality of the artillery is limited, and the ammunition stored on the beach is also limited. Black Prince Sam The reason why I chose to take action at this time was more to help the Jackdaw.

The news of Jarvis's betrayal was told by Zhang Heng to the captains of the pirate ships. Although it was too late when the news was received, and many people doubted the authenticity of the news at first, Zhang Heng always reminded him anyway It also allows them to avoid the danger of being stabbed in the back by Jarvis.

Therefore, Black Prince Sam is now reciprocating the favor, attracting some attention for the Jackdaw when it breaks through the naval blockade.

Black Prince Sam actually understood in his heart that even if these shells were kept until the warships entered the harbor, they would not change any outcome. Those people who were still on the beach were actually in danger.

But sitting still and waiting for death has never been his style. After using up the remaining ammunition, Black Prince Sam pulled out the scimitar from his waist and shouted, "My brothers, are you willing to fight like a warrior?" Die at sea, or surrender and be hanged like animals on the dock of the colony, leaving your bones to be exposed to the scorching sun, bitten by mosquitoes and flies, and cast aside by the world?!"

After a brief silence, a pirate not far away roared, "Fuck the Navy! Fuck Jarvis!"

But the next moment his head was hit by a bullet. Although his eyes were still open angrily, his body had softened.

But then more people roared, and even those who were already drunk struggled to get up from the ground, grabbed the weapons around them, and staggered around the black prince Sam. They already knew What is the outcome waiting for them, but no one is willing to die like this cowardly.

"First kill those traitors, seize back our ship, and then let these navy bastards taste our power!" As Black Prince Sam finished speaking, the pirates also headed towards the area where the crew of the Warrior were. Launched a charge.
