Knowing that there was contraband on the ship, Mate Higgins suggested that Captain Louie turn around immediately and find a way to avoid this unnecessary disaster. However, Captain Louie immediately used the headwind to make it impossible to escape the navy, and escaping now would only arouse the suspicion of the pursuing navy.
Reason for rejection.
The argument between First Mate Higgins and Captain Louie did not last long. The captain, who still had some decisiveness at the critical moment, decided to attack. He hoped to help the British Empire Navy annihilate the pirate ship, so that the armed merchant ship Martha could escape the naval fleet that it would inevitably encounter.
It left a good impression on the commander's mind.
"Raise the sails, prepare the gunfire??" Seeing that Captain Louis had made up his mind, first mate Higgins shouted and began to direct the sailors with different functions to get busy.
Even though Captain Louis, Ye Kai and others had a miserable time when they met, the combat effectiveness of the merchant ship Martha was really good. In less than a quarter of an hour, the battle preparations of the Martha were completed, with more than a dozen fully armed men
The sailors were stationed on the deck with flint guns in their hands and swords and axes on their backs, and they seemed to have some murderous intent.
Of course, Captain Louis' real confidence lies in the 14 cannons exposed after the gun doors on both sides of the ship are opened. After a simple comparative analysis by Ye Kai, he found that unlike the five-pound and ten-pound cannons equipped on conventional merchant ships, the Martha actually had
It was equipped with four sixteen-pounder guns, which were more powerful but rarely seen on merchant ships.
Amidst Ye Kai's thoughtfulness and Angela's excitement, the pirate ship that had just emerged from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth finally entered the range of the Martha's artillery.
As a remnant of pirates bent on escaping, the pirate ship had no intention of fighting with the Martha. After turning its bow slightly, the pirate ship with skulls and pipes hanging on it planned to bypass the Martha and continue to escape. But it was already
Captain Louis, who treated the pirates as a courtesy, had already issued an attack order.
"Fire!!!" Chief Mate Higgins's roar just sounded, and was drowned out by a series of deafening gunfire. As the Martha trembled, seven cannons on the port side sprayed fatal blows amidst billowing white smoke and a strong smell of gunpowder.
of projectiles.
With the first shelling of the Martha, the sight of everyone on the deck was instantly obscured by white smoke. So only Ye Kai and Angela, who stayed on the main mast, saw the results of the shelling.
The first bombardment was of a testing nature, so all solid iron bullets were fired. Except for one of these iron bullets that hit the deck fence of the pirate ship and stirred up countless splinters, the rest were shot into the surrounding areas of the pirate ship.
There were waves and flowers in the sea, but they did not cause any damage to the pirate ship.
However, the pirates who had not planned to fight the Martha were aroused by the bombardment. Before Captain Higgins roared and urged the sailors of the Martha to complete the second reloading, the pirate ship's ship was not closed in the first place.
The dozen or so cannons in the gun port began to unleash their power. And compared with the Martha's bombardment, they fired more accurately and harder.
Five of the dozen solid bullets hit the Martha. Not only did the side of the Martha's side and deck become a mess in an instant, but a sailor who was positioned cleverly was hit by the side of the ship and deflected.
The shell exploded in the head.
The battle continued to escalate as casualties appeared. In the ten minutes that the Martha and the pirate ship continued to approach, the artillery fire from both sides continued to roar almost without stopping. A dozen large and small guns were fired on the port side of the Martha.
There were holes in the ship, and the sails on all sides were torn apart by shotguns. However, the pirate ship did not land well. The bow was almost completely destroyed by the Martha's sixteen-pound shells. Not only the internal structure of the hull was exposed, but the artillery positions in the cabin were also destroyed by subsequent attacks.
The attack destroyed three locations.
Now the distance between the two ships is less than a few dozen meters. Behind the pirate ship, which was slowed down by the Martha's blockage, Norrington's fleet is still approaching...
"Load the bullet." Captain Louie's order sounded almost simultaneously with the roar of a bearded pirate on the opposite pirate ship.
"Where is it?" Ye Kai, who was just watching the battle in front of him as an interesting movie, also noticed the bearded pirate. Although he was unkempt and extremely embarrassed, Ye Kai, who cooperated with Shadow's database, was able to determine the identity of the other party. "Previously.
Navy Boatswain Gibbs.”
"Ye Kai, I feel we should help." Angela, who had been covering her eyes and peeking at the battle in front of her through her fingers, suddenly pulled Ye Kai, who was judging the progress of the mission world based on the current situation.
"How far does it need to go?" Ye Kai, who felt that he could wipe out all the pirates in front of him and the subsequent naval fleet, asked casually.
"Just ensure that the Martha is not fatally damaged." Angela, who frowned and seemed to think for a moment, gave the answer.
"Destroy their masts first." On the opposite pirate ship, under the command of Gibbs, the pirates first completed loading the chain bombs and completed the launch with a loud bang.
However, before the high-speed flying chain bomb destroyed the mast of the Martha, Ye Kai, who had already taken action, accurately stopped in front of the mainmast of the Martha. After unsheathing his waist, he hit the target with just one swing and struck out four times in a row.
The chain bullet with iron balls at both ends and an iron chain in the center has been disintegrated.
"Monster!" Frightened by the terrifying speed and accuracy of Ye Kai's sword in chopping up the shells, Gibbs yelled and issued a new order. "Scatter bullets, scatter bullets, kill him."
"Are you waiting for death?" Not only Gibbs, but also the crew of the Martha were frightened by Ye Kai's actions. They stopped attacking for a while. Until Ye Kai's words with cold murderous intent woke them all up.
.
Not interested in letting the pirates' artillery shells hit him, Ye Kai had already fired Hellroar. The Hellroar, which suppressed all the roar of artillery fire on the entire battlefield, roared and suppressed all the gun emplacements of the opposite pirate ship. In less than ten seconds,
The pirates, who had suffered more casualties than in the past half hour, finally began to panic. Then the two sixteen-pound guns fired from the port side of the Martha used continuous chain bullets to break off the two masts at the front and rear of the pirate ship. It was like the last straw.
The pirates' fighting spirit was completely crushed. They refused the temporary commander Gibbs's order to charge and launch a boarding battle, and began to abandon the ship and escape.
"Move over, capture the enemy ships, and shoot all the pirates who refuse to surrender." Looking at Ye Kai with a surprised look, Captain Louis regained his composure and began to issue orders.
"Captain?" First Mate Higgins looked at Ye Kai's figure who was easily climbing up the mast, and carefully approached Captain Louis to say something.
"Whether it's a blessing or a misfortune, and it doesn't matter what those three guests plan to do. As long as their target is not us and our Martha, then we don't care at all." Captain Louis seemed to know what Higgins was going to say.
After stopping him, he quickly whispered, "And that's beyond our control."
After learning Captain Louis's decision through force perception, Ye Kai, who had climbed onto the mainmast, smiled with satisfaction and returned to the little girl Angela. Anna, who had already woken up or was awakened by the battle, sent an order to
Ye Kai captured the leather monkey Angela and took her back to her cabin.
The finishing work of the Martha has been completed. Except for the dozens of people on the pirate ship who jumped into the sea to escape, Gibbs surrendered with his only few crooked melons and cracked dates and became a prisoner of the Martha.
After the battle, the belated Norrington fleet also approached at this time. After Captain Louis briefly introduced the identity of the Martha through the semaphore, two ships were dropped from the Norrington fleet's flagship Dreadnought.
A small boat with soldiers came to escort the captured pirates.
After handing Angela over to Anna, Ye Kai, who was defeated by the little girl's expression of tears, is now on the bow of the Martha. After the battle just now, he now has a sense of keeping away from strangers and recognizes him at a glance
Well, the man in the dark blue uniform and tricorn hat on the small boat behind should be Fleet Commander Norrington...
Ye Kai, who felt that no one came with good intentions, believed that Norrington, as the commander of the fleet, would not be so bored coming to accept prisoners. And after briefly thinking about it, he also understood that the Martha caused Norrington
Reasons for attention.
It was a bit inappropriate for a merchant ship to take the initiative to fight against the pirate ship. However, under the guidance of Angela, Ye Kai took action later and suppressively helped the Martha win the battle. Nuo Ling should have seen most of the battle.
It’s not surprising that I was interested in or suspicious of the Martha.
He simply sent his analysis to Anna who was hiding in the cabin. Ye Kai, who asked what to do next, quickly received a reply. 'Let's take a look at this first.'
Then there is a task shared through the team task template.
