"Captain! It's a merchant ship of the East India Company, shall we still pursue it?" Gibbs asked.
"Chasing! Why not chasing?"
After only half a day out to sea, Chen Feng found his prey - a merchant ship of the East India Company.
Santiago climbed to the top of the tall mast, and shouted as he watched:
"The target speed is estimated to reach nine knots, and the ship will meet in 10 minutes!"
Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction, raised the wooden knife in his hand and shouted: "Go at full speed!"
The speed of the Jackdaw is extremely fast, probably reaching [-]% of the speed of the fastest ship in the entire dungeon, the Black Pearl.
As long as the merchant ship that the Jackdaw is aiming at, there is absolutely no way to escape!
After a while, the Jackdaw successfully caught up with the East India merchant ship and kept pace with it.
In fact, some scenes in the original "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie are unrealistic.
In a real naval battle, it is very difficult to keep two ships close to each other.
Whether two ships are facing each other or facing the same direction, it takes a lot of effort to keep them close together for a long time.
Unless the two are anchored to each other, it is to entangle with each other to the end and have a showdown.
"Fire!" Chen Feng shouted.
As soon as the words fell, the sailors shouted in unison while they were busy.
"boom!!!"
The chain bullet was fired first.
Chain bombs, which can either kill or injure crew members, can also be fired at the ship's rigging, cutting the ropes as it spins.
"Fire!"
Another dozen rounds of side-spinning guns rang out.
"boom--!"
A good naval gun crew can have a lot of people, and can load and fire the cannon in 1 minute, but this efficiency cannot be maintained for long.
"Bang!—crack—!
The next moment, the hull of the ship shattered and pieces of wood flew.
Fierce shooting into the lower part of the enemy ship's hull is aimed at killing the crew, not sinking the enemy ship.
It is actually very difficult to sink a wooden boat because the wood floats.
The correct approach is to kill the crew of the enemy ship. The chain reaction is that you can either engage in a boarding battle to capture the enemy ship, or the enemy ship will surrender to you after suffering heavy casualties, and then you can capture it!
"Ahhh!"
"Ugh—!"
Blood was splashed everywhere on the deck of the merchant ship, and stumps were flying everywhere.
Someone looked down at his non-existent lower body seconds before dying and started screaming heart-piercingly.
After the shells hit the target deck, the shattering of the ship's hull and the wailing of dying people could be heard endlessly.
On the contrary, the crew on the Jackdaw let out a burst of cheers, and the hull passed by the starboard side of the merchant ship.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
There was the crackling of flintlock pistols and muskets.
Immediately afterwards, several stink bombs exploded on the deck of the East India merchant ship, and the suffocating smoke hovered over the deck of the merchant ship like a shroud.
The strong sulfurous smell from the stink bombs can make your knees go weak and the air thick and black, making it difficult to see, let alone judge distances.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and Chen Feng saw that the brig was turning. It drew an oval in the water, intending to use the cannon on the starboard side.
But it was not lucky, and the wind that blew the smoke died down before the ship was fully turned.
The full sails of the merchant ship dropped down, and the speed of the ship also slowed down significantly.
Under the violent bombardment, the sails were reduced to rags, and the rudders were nothing but pieces of wood floating on the sea.
"Check your equipment and ammunition! Get ready to board!"
It wasn't until this time that Chen Feng ordered his men to board the ship forcibly.
Trait "Yi Bo Yuntian": The loyalty of the native subordinates recruited in the dungeon world is [-]%, and they will never rebel. ——From the world of "Hot-Blooded High School", Genji Takiya.
Props "Flag of the Commander of the Three Armies": When facing the enemy, holding this flag can greatly improve the morale of the side, encourage the soldiers of the side to fight bravely, and at the same time have a deterrent effect on the enemy.
With Chen Fengyi and Bo Yuntian's traits and the flag of the commander of the three armies in hand, the performance of the Jackdaw in the boarding battle is destined to be brave and fierce!
"Obey!" The charge captain Shark took the lead and shouted.
The Jackdaw's crew loaded their ammunition, checked that their swords had not dulled, and pulled out their boarding hooks.
Ropes and long planks go into battle.
These thrown ropes are to keep the two ships relatively stable, prevent the two ships from staggering each other, and keep the two ships close enough.
In the boarding battle, use the rope to swing directly, and there is a high probability that it will fall between the two ships.
If you want to be crushed, please do so, especially when the opponent is firing at you, this behavior is even more unwise.
"boom--!"
This merchant ship was riddled with holes, the hull was tilted to one side, the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the sound of matchlock guns and machetes clashed one after another.
The shark took the lead and rushed to the enemy ship first. With a machete in his hand, he cut off the head of the gunman who was trying to resist, and instantly cut his three-cornered hat in half, and the man's head was almost split in two.
The second one who ran up to the shark obviously hadn't experienced any fighting, and there was fear in his eyes, so the shark cut off his nose again with a knife.
"Uhhhh-"
The Noseless Man backed away in pain, blood spouted from the hole in his face.
The shark looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
