48 Hours a Day

Chapter 232 Confrontation

The moment you see the black flag, the pirates on the island feel like they're crying.

Just nine days ago, they witnessed the end of the day and a black flag burned to the ground.

Nassau's greatest pirate captain, Sam the Black Prince, died, the Swordfish sank, the Veda sank, the Warrior sank... there were moans and screams everywhere, and the navy slaughtered their companions as wildly as it slaughtered the cattle, and it was like a nightmare all over their minds.

This was one of the most tragic failures of the pirates in Nassau's history and why the atmosphere on the island has been increasingly depressed for so many days.

These men, who have lived through hundreds of wars, have really lost all hope at this moment, and even have a slight fear of the shadows of those in red shirts.

Until the Cold Raven appeared, that black flag flying on the mast seemed to swear to the navy opposite, that the sea did not belong to any country or to anyone, and that it still cared for all the warriors who pursued freedom.

Walden had packed the pirates' dumplings, and of course he would never make that mistake again. He had parked the Kent off the harbor, a place where pirates on the island could be monitored and protected from crises from off-island sources.

So when the Cold Raven appeared, the sailors on board also spotted the enemy in the first place.

Chris dropped the copper binoculars in his hand and couldn't believe his face, "How is this possible, how dare they come back?! ”

In fact, Chris was not very supportive of the raid, not worried about the danger of leaving only one ship on Nautilus Island, but that the Cold Raven was likely to have sunk in the storm in the harsh weather of the day, although Walden adhered to the iron blood principle that no pirate could spare.

And anyway, people are staying outside Nautilus Island, so take this time to search for the Cold Raven, even if you find some wreckage to prove that the latter has sunk, you can get some more credit, so ultimately nobody opposes the plan.

Chris didn't know how the Cold Raven survived the storm, or how the latter avoided the searching vessels outside, sneaking around to Nautilus Island.

And now it seems that the other person's condition is very different from that of when he left, and he is in a fierce situation, without the wolf of running away with his tail clamped before.

Walden's shadowy face, “We let them get away with it, and since we're back, don't go. Raise the sail, we'll meet them. ”

“Yes." Chris was ashamed of a flash of panic in his own mind before, as the Royal Navy, at a time when there was no reason to back off, even though the Cold Crow across the street was also a battleship, how could the military fear a group of pirates with equal fire?

Meanwhile, Billy on the other side watched the other side, nervously, and saw the Kent move, and said, “The guy named Ford doesn't seem to be lying, and the other commander is quite arrogant. ”

“Given that his previous curriculum vitae and track record do indeed justify complacency, he is said to have been responsible for much less piracy in one area than elsewhere. ”

“Why?” asked Harry beside him.

“Because the pirates there were hanged by him.” Zhang Hengfangdao.

Harry sniffed, of course, apparently trying to squeeze out a fearless smile.

The red-haired girl is best acquainted with this product. I don't know if he's actually scared to death yet. He can't help but turn a white eye. He was the most active before every battle. He haunted her constantly to fight, but when his wish really came true, it was very real.

But Annie doesn't have time for him anymore, and Zhang Heng said, "Get ready to fight. Remember, we don't have enough ammunition stockpiles for them to fire until we're close enough. ”

“Copy that.” Billy nodded.

Then Zhang Heng asked, "How are the musketeers doing? ”

“We are in position to launch an attack at any time.” Annie glanced at the line of musketeers on the starboard side of the boat and replied.

Zhang Heng deliberately learned about this fleet commander Walden from Ford, studied each other's previous curriculum vitae and combat habits, knowing that the latter were hardliners in the Navy, and that his style of combat was as tough as his temper.

Love to engage with enemy ships, this is the most tested way of fighting courage, without any tricks, who are true warriors and who are cowards at a glance.

And this is also in Zhang Heng's mind. The gunpowder reserves on the Cold Raven are not as good as the Kent itself. If the other party tries first, they will lose some money in order to save ammunition and can't fight back. There is no such trouble if they come straight to the subject.

But Walden certainly had his reasons for choosing such a dangerous way of fighting.

In addition to a brilliant group of gunmen, his gunmen were disciplined, and when the distance between the two sides was close to seventy or even forty metres, the gunmen on board could be involved in the attack.

Walden was often able to suppress the opposite deck in the first place with strong fire, killing and taking ownership of the opposite side, which is why he couldn't resist.

He had failed only twice in previous records, against a French battleship that had nearly twice as many artillery on board as he had, and in one case had been attacked from behind.

But this time, he knew the Cold Raven, the former Glory, but he also knew that there would be no reinforcements, so he was able to hold his breath on both sides, until he approached the distance of almost 50 meters to turn together, opposite the side side side.

Zhang Heng was the fastest to make the first wave of attacks. The Cold Crow fired on it. This round of shelling on the Kent was a solid one, but it also reflected the quality of the gunmen on board. No one panicked when attacked. The wounded were taken to the infirmary at the first time, while the rest responded as ordered.

Meanwhile, Walden's most trusted musketeers can finally come in handy. As Chris ordered, the gunmen in red pulled the trigger, but what they didn't expect was that the pirates were on the side of the guard, and not all the boards removed from the Miranda were used up, and the rest were used as shields by the pirates, standing up and blocking bullets.

When the gunfire across the street is sparse, the pirates start to fight back from the gap between the boards.

At this time, it is no longer important who will take the helm. Zhang Heng gave the helm to a sailor. He himself joined the battle. Zhang Heng LV2's shooting skills worked again. He prepared six guns for himself in this battle, and three others followed him exclusively to fill him with gunpowder and bullets.

Zhang Heng took only three minutes to kill all the shooters on the observation deck opposite him, and also killed two officers opposite him. Unfortunately, Walden was alert and realized that there was a shooter on the other side before showing up.
