Along the way, the pirates selected several targets for him, but he rejected them all.
Don’t rob if the boat is too big, don’t rob if the boat is too small, don’t rob if the boat looks rich, and don’t rob if it looks like you have no money.
A few days later, they finally figured out that their King was out to experience the pirate life?
After confirming this, they quickly found the target for Linn.
An armed merchant ship flying the Spanish flag.
It’s neither big nor small, the firepower is neither strong nor weak, the decoration is stylish but not luxurious, and most importantly, it is escorted by a Spanish battleship!
"Grab him!"
Lin En pointed the scimitar in his hand, and the "Jackdaw" raised its black sails and hoisted its skull and crossbones flag. It roared and charged forward.
The frigate immediately came up to meet it after discovering it.
After all, he was a professional navy, and he responded quickly and decisively. He adjusted his shooting position before the ship even got close. Unfortunately, before it could fire, the "pirates" on Linn's side took the lead.
These old pirates had been fighting for several years after joining the navy. Their hands felt hot. They seized the angle formed by the turns of the two ships and decisively launched a long-range shot of more than 100 meters! And the first round was in full swing.
Shoot and reap the rewards,
Eighty-nine of the more than twenty solid artillery shells were concentrated on the target, destroying two gun emplacements. The opposite deck suddenly burst into screams and smoke filled the air. A large gap was torn out of the foresail.
The speed of the Spanish frigate suddenly dropped, and the chance of taking advantage of the gun was lost. However, the frigate reacted decisively and fiercely. It immediately adjusted its sails and collided directly with Linn's pirate battle.
Lynn's ship has two choices, hide outward or hide inward. If you hide outward, you will lose the upper hand and stay away from the merchant ship. If you hide inward, the two ships will immediately become entangled at close range, taking turns to gain wind and fire alternately. Enter
Once the cruel decisive battle begins, the winner will definitely be determined.
Lin En laughed loudly and commanded: "Go up to them, go up to them, and sink them!"
The "boom, boom, boom" sound of the artillery salvo was deafening, and the smoke after the salvo filled the middle of the two ships. This smoke would condense on the water for a long time, and even the sea breeze would be difficult to blow it away.
Both sides seized every opportunity to fire and tried their best to destroy each other.
The two warships seemed to be dancing a "dance of death", and they could only use all their strength to tilt their firepower at each other. Whoever retreated first would be exposing their hull below the waterline to the other's gunfire at close range. No one could
There is no way to escape, and only one of the two sides can leave alive.
When Lin En was excited, he put a two-ton heavy cannon on his shoulder and fired. As expected, the cannon was extremely accurate, and the opponent's mast was broken with one shot.
"Hahaha!" Linn proudly threw the cannon back to the deck. With a "bang", the heavy cannon smashed a big hole in the deck. If it hadn't been supported by the keel, it might have hit the lower deck.
"Get another cannon!"
First Mate Morgan ran over and pointed at the frigate on the other side who was adjusting the sail, and shouted: "Captain, they have turned!"
Lin En immediately became anxious,
"Who allowed them to run away! The duel will last until dawn!"
He was having a great time, when he saw such a strong boat on the opposite side actually trying to escape, as if someone had taken away his tachyon in the middle of a meal.
"Sink it!"
Lin En was a little angry and disappointed. Such a tough ship actually ran away regardless of the danger and even exposed its weaknesses.
But when the smoke of artillery fire turned around and the pirates aimed at the waterline and were about to open fire, Linn suddenly called them to stop.
"Wait a minute." He pointed to the merchant ship in the distance.
"Is that another pirate ship?"
I saw that the merchant ship that had originally blocked the "pirates" while the frigate was going away was suddenly approached by a black ship.
Hanging a black sail and a skull and crossbones flag makes you look like a pirate.
Someone actually came to pick peaches and eat them for free?
Lin En was extremely angry. This was not only taking away his wife, but also taking away the rice in his bowl!
"Follow me!"
Their ship was full sail and faster, and soon caught up with the frigate. Linn shot off its remaining mast with one shot.
"Slowly float you, hahaha!"
Then he ignored the frigate, which could only dangle in place, and chased the merchant ship with its sails full.
The new group of pirates have already started to join gangs.
They threw hooks and hooks to the side of the ship, and groups of pirates grabbed the ropes and swung over.
What people didn't expect was that there were rows of guards shooting on the merchant ship.
The first batch of pirates were shot down in mid-air.
Gunfire rang out from the pirate ship and began to suppress the counterattack from the merchant ship. At the same time, the second group of pirates jumped over waving scimitars. The neat guards soon became chaotic and the ship's speed also suddenly slowed down.
This group of pirates didn't even want to fire a cannon, and they obviously wanted to eat them and the ship together.
"Do you know who these gangsters are?" Lin asked his first mate while chasing him.
Morgan looked at it for a while and shook his head, "I don't know him, but a pirate who can get rid of something like this doesn't have much fame. He must have seen us entangled with the frigate and wanted to take advantage."
Lin En said bitterly: "No matter who he is, chase him and prepare to join the gang."
Morgan took the order to leave and loudly greeted the other crew members. At this time, these old pirates also showed their ferocity. They shouted, grabbed scimitars and muskets, picked up hooks and locks on their backs, and rushed onto the deck.
"Sir, let's jump on that boat."
The two boats in front were already close together and moving slowly. Linn gritted his teeth.
"Jump the pirate ship first. None of these bastards will leave alive today."
If he jumps to the merchant ship first, the pirates will probably realize that the situation is not good and flee back. If Linn wants to jump to the pirate ship first, he will catch them all in one go and kill them all.
The ship quickly approached. Although the other party discovered them, it was impossible to leave at this time.
Morgan led the old pirates, waving their scimitars and howling wildly. Linn took the lead and jumped over first, cutting an overcoming pirate into two pieces with one blow.
Most of the pirates on the other side jumped onto the merchant ship, and the few who stayed behind were quickly killed.
Linn stood beside the pirate ship and looked at the merchant ship opposite.
There was a real mess on the opposite side. Some were fighting on the deck, while others had already gotten into the cabin to make a fortune.
The captain of the other side shouted loudly and waved his iron hook to summon people to jump back and seize the ship.
But Linn's eyes didn't look at him at all. Instead, he was attracted by a man who sneaked out from the entrance of the cabin with his waist down.
The chaotic deck was full of fire and fighting. There were tears on her beautiful cheeks, and there was fear in her big crystal eyes.
The expression was that of a fawn that had just left its mother and was in danger in the forest.
