v2 Chapter 208： Contest

Jackdaw and Swordfish both raised the black flag at the first moment and rushed towards the Spanish treasure ship in the distance.

Zhang Heng and they were closer to the treasure ship, but soon the swordfish speed was faster, and they quickly caught up from the back. However, the full canvas Luke lowered the speed again, basically the same as the Jackdaw. They obviously didn't want to rush too far forward, so that the firepower across would all fall on them.

In the end, the two ships were separated by a distance of about 200 meters. This is a distance that can support each other without losing flexibility because they are too close.

At this time, the three Spanish sailing boats opposite it also found the enemy. They immediately lowered their speed, then raised the hull horizontally and set the standard combat posture.

Billy and Annie were also standing on the deck now, looking at the giant object not far away, and everyone's face involuntarily revealed the solemn color.

The information that the black prince received before is very accurate, but some things are heard in the ears, and what they see is another thing. This is the second giant that Zhang Heng saw after entering the copy. Vessel, the size of this Spanish treasure ship is only slightly smaller than the pride of the British Royal Navy, the Caribbean overlord Scarborough.

The shape of the Jackdaw's warship has been very oppressive with ordinary merchant ships, but it is a little too embarrassing to get on this Spanish treasure ship.

"Are we really going to fight this kind of thing after a while?" A new gunner on the deck couldn't help but said.

"It's not a crossfire, as long as it attracts its attention and lures it to Parrot Island, there will naturally be four ships lying there to deal with it," Difraina explained.

However, his words did not give people much peace of mind. Many people looked at the dense gun barrels and swallowed saliva. In contrast, the old people who participated in the Scarborough War were better at this time. On many.

Fifteen minutes later Jackdaw had entered the opponent's shelling range, but the opposite remained calm.

Not only were Zhang Heng and Billy unhappy, they looked more dignified.

Because this means that their opponents are difficult to deal with this time, the common mistake made by newcomers is to rush the gun as soon as the other party enters the attack range, thinking that this can grab two more rounds of attack. Every gun has a firing limit. The continuous firing will cause the barrel to overheat quickly, and you must wait for it to cool down before you can continue to use it.

The first rounds of artillery shells fired are generally difficult to hit the opponent. Even if they are lucky, they will not cause much damage. Therefore, a truly experienced commander will wait for the opponent to enter the real effective killing range. Can fire.

In other words, once the opposite side fires, the destructive power it brings is often amazing.

"Do you have to go any further?" Billy asked, and each time the Jackdaw progressed further, the danger it faced would increase.

"Not yet." Zhang Heng shook his head. "Although they can't hurt us at this distance, it is also very difficult for us to cause trouble for them. Once they fire, we will not be able to approach them again. Now that they are Give us a chance, then we will move closer. "

The Swordfish next door obviously had the same idea, so there was no sign of slowing down.

The three Spanish sailing boats on the opposite side were able to sink their breath, so it was impossible to fire.

The two pirate ships sailed another distance until they could see the figures on the opposite deck. Zhang Heng and Brooke issued orders almost at the same time to start the ship to turn into a combat state.

At this moment, the face of the Spanish commander on the opposite ship showed a regret. Although the two sides have not fired yet, the rivalry has already begun.

He restrained his own desire to fire, but also seduced the opposite side to continue approaching. This plan was seen to be successful. As long as the opponent was closer to 100 yards, he was sure to sink the opponent thoroughly with three rounds of attacks.

But the two pirate ships also seemed to be aware of the danger. They stopped abruptly at a critical moment, and the Spanish commander couldn't help feeling regretful, but then he didn't waste the other party's great opportunity to turn, and directly ordered, "Fire. "

The three Spanish sail-mounted artillery spouted flames at this moment, and the sound was like thunder.

Someone didn't stand firmly at their feet, and was directly frightened by the horrible movement and fell to the ground.

"Everyone, get ready for the shelling!" Zhang Heng roared at the bow.

His words had just landed, and the shells had already flown over. At least a quarter of the shells in the first round hit two pirate ships. This was fully explained without the previous round to correct the landing point. The good strength of the opposite gunner.

Different from the Navy, these three Spanish sailing ships are different from the newcomer Scarborough. They are obviously experienced veterans.

At least seven or eight shells dropped on Jackdaw's deck, and the bombed was a mess.

The sailor in charge of the rudder was the most unlucky. He was directly inserted into the throat by a chip of broken wood and fell to the rudder. The Jackdaw just started to turn around and was swung back by his bow. Fortunately, Zhang Heng Aside, he pushed the body directly away, and then hit the rudder to the end, and Jackdaw continued to make an unfinished U-turn.

Then came the second round of shelling, this time hitting Jackdaw more shells, not only the deck, Jackdaw's hull also suffered some damage, the carpenter who had been on standby immediately acted, Repair in order of importance.

Zhang Heng shook the sawdust from his head ~ www.novelhall.com ~ while he continued to hold the rudder and looked back at the situation on the deck.

The opponent's firepower was not beyond expectations, but the accuracy was terrible, so he had to re-evaluate the timing of the retreat.

However, when the third round of artillery hit, only a few shells flying on the Jackdaw fell on the Jackdaw, which was greatly unexpected by Billy and others. The level shown by the other two rounds was considered inaccurate Nor will it be so inaccurate.

But then what they thought of immediately changed, and quickly looked to the swordfish on the other side, the latter was suddenly set on fire by three Spanish sailing boats, so miserable than ever.

Although Brooke avoided a lot of attacks with excellent helm technology, there were too many shells, and the swordfish was transformed more extreme. In order to sacrifice many protective functions for speed, the bow was directly destroyed in this round of attacks. As a result, the mast was also interrupted by two.
