48 Hours a Day

A shell landed on the boat side of the Cold Raven and splashed a string of splashes, which unfortunately did not cause any substantial damage to the target.

The gunner on the Miranda annoyingly shot the bow of the ship for the fifth time in a row, something that had never happened before. Instead, the Cold Raven dodged all the shells and struck the Miranda once with a stern shell on board.

Ford can feel his opponent in front becoming more difficult than he did when he met before, slipping like a mudflat.

Should I say it's the famous Nassau Grand Pirates? It turns out that there are two brushes, and even under these circumstances, they still perform so stubbornly.

But there are things that cannot be solved with courage, such as the shrinking distance between the Cold Raven and the Miranda.

When the Miranda really catches up and affixes the Cold Raven, it's time for the flanking guns to start making threats.

The Cold Raven will have nowhere to run.

So when the bow guns missed a chance to hit each other in a row, Ford didn't act too hasty either.

At this time, the spirit of the rest of the ship gradually relaxed. The situation on Coral Island and Nautilus Island was different. The area itself was very small, and there were no natural harbours like Nautilus Island. The surrounding conditions could be seen at a glance, and the first mates could already ascertain that there were no ambushed vessels nearby after half a circle.

It would appear that they did force the other party to take the risk of entering the reef to fight for their lives.

But as Ford said, as long as they bite each other dead and don't try any other routes, there will be no danger.

There are many old sailors on the Miranda, who have experienced many battles between pirates before, many of them insidious and sly, capable of constant victories and famous pirate hunters in this area are not idle and have a sufficiently acute sense of smell for danger.

So far, they have not noticed anything unusual, and victory has never been as close to them as it was at this moment.

Ford was still immersed in the joy of taking down the Cold Raven, but he didn't expect a sudden shock from under his feet, and a lot of unstable people on the ship fell to the ground.

Ford's face changed, “What's going on? ”

“Captain, I'm afraid we've touched the reef.” First Officer Focus Express.

“Bullshit, of course I know we touched the reef, and you tell me, I mean, how is that possible?” Ford was frightened and angry, without the style of the past, and he roared with impatience.

He pointed to the Cold Raven not far away, "They just drove by here before, why are they okay?! ”

“This...” The first mate was also confused when she heard the story.

Just as the two spoke, the sea water had begun to pour into the cabin, the large hole broken by the top of the reef could not be blocked at all, and the hull of the Miranda soon began to tilt until it stopped at a 30-degree angle.

However, the people on the boat had not yet been able to relax, and the sound of artillery was heard in their ears. The gunmen Zhang Heng had been on the island for a long time. The Miranda was on hold as a signal that they were launching a general offensive.

Ford's bad luck today, with at least a third of the shells accurately hitting the target in the first round of attacks, and the sailors who climbed up before they could get back on their feet again.

The first mate shouted in the gunfire and wanted to gather the gunmen to fight back. However, at the angle of the current hull of the Miranda, the guns could only reach the beach at the most and could not attack the enemies hiding in the woods at all.

Ford also loudly ordered the sailors on board to adjust their sails, hoping to get out of the state of strangulation, but with little success, he stared at his eyes and blues burst around his neck, yet no howl could stop Miranda from falling.

Until the first mate held his body and cried in his ear, "Captain, no, abandon the ship. ”

Ford was still reluctant to accept what was happening in front of him, and he wondered why the Miranda had won the ticket just a few minutes earlier. Between blinks, the situation had changed dramatically. For the second time, the two sides had fought each other, and the Cold Crow was in an absolute downwind, but the result was even more incredible than the first.

If the first battle was a cautious escape, the battle would be a disgrace.

They couldn't even beat down a piece of decoration on the stern of the Raven, and the Miranda was going to sink completely.

Why can the Cold Raven safely pass through the reef? Where did the shore fire come from? Who will then cooperate with the Cold Raven in ambushing them? Ford couldn't find the answer to any of these questions.

His defeat in the battle was unimaginable, his eyes were everywhere frightened and depressed, and the sailors could not stand to be struck so unilaterally and then jumped into the sea in fear.

Ford didn't remember how he was then dragged off the boat by his first mate and down to the beach, and when he came back to God, he saw a gun pointing at them.

And the survivors of the Miranda curled together on the beach, seemingly seeking some comfort from each other in this way, bowing their heads, like a bunch of lambs to be slaughtered, awaiting the verdict of fate.

When the battle was over, Zhang Heng also rode a small boat to Coral Island.

Billy greeted him in the first place, difficult to conceal the pleasure of sight, and said from a long distance, "We won all this time. Except for a little scratch when a sailor was collecting the prisoners, there were no casualties. However, the ammunition consumption was high, I let the guys control the strength of their hands, but it seemed that they had been held up for two days. Good thing they stopped in time, the ship wasn't completely sunk, and I sent someone on board to collect supplies. ”

“Good.” Zhang Heng looked at Ford, who was frustrated with his eyes, and was not surprised by the result. When Miranda hooked him up and bit him behind the Cold Crow, his fate was doomed. The process of this battle was not complicated, and what was difficult was the previous arrangement.

The post-war Cold Raven could also solve the imminent food and freshwater problems, but Zhang Hengdun did not expect to capture each other's captains and first mates successfully this time.

In this way, he may be able to know the specific arrangements for this hunting operation by the other commander, know how many ships the other party has sent, what direction each has taken, and meet there to provide additional guarantees for the smooth return of the Cold Crow.

So Zhang Heng told Billy Dao, "Find me a quiet place to interrogate them. ”

“Copy that.”
