Set Sail! Storm in the Caribbean! Chapter 19 Fight for Power? Chop It Up!

Chapter 19 Fighting for power? Chop it!

At this moment, the entire battlefield became a little quiet, and they were all intimidated by Sheyan's momentum. Immediately afterwards, the rest of the pirates also raised their knives and howled wildly. If it were a boarding battle like this under normal circumstances, the attacker would definitely deploy a certain size of musketeers to suppress the enemy. Thorns like Fang Sheyan's have long been beaten into sieves by concentrated fire, but today's waves are too high and the lifeboat is too small. Even if you carry a matchlock gun, it will be a burden, so the gap in long-range firepower has become The fatal weakness of the Spanish!

At this time, there was no shortage of manpower on the Bell and Wine Glass, but there was a shortage of warriors who dared to fight on the front line. After Fang Senyan stood up like this, several pirates who returned to the ship due to injuries also had quite a lot of combat experience, and they could see the enemy He quickly bandaged the wounds wherever possible, followed Fang Senyan, raised his weapon, and leaned forward with a fierce look on his face. But their attacks were very vicious. They didn't kill anyone but only cut the rope hooks attached to the side of the ship. As long as the Spanish sailors couldn't climb up where they had no leverage, that was enough!

Sometimes a small thing on the battlefield can often change the final outcome. The example of a few people can often inspire the morale of more people. When those pirates who originally thought they were in despair suddenly realized that the enemy was "no more than that", their confidence and courage naturally returned to them. Even though the other two Spanish lifeboats approached the Bell and Wineglass and began to dock, they found that the resistance above their heads also increased. Many Spanish sailors were unable to use the rope ladders because they were repeatedly broken, and even wanted to Trying to climb directly with bare hands often leads to the tragic ending of having your fingers trampled off alive.

Sheyan no longer took action at this time, but looked at the Spanish flagship in the distance that was fighting the Black Pearl.

"If there is really a contractor behind this attack...then you can't stop here, you must have a back-up plan! Because the core figures on a pirate ship are usually the captain and first mate, usually The captain and the boatswain are fighting hand-to-hand, and the first mate is staying behind, so you must have some way to defeat the remaining pirates led by the first mate with full confidence! "

At this time, a pirate suddenly screamed, covered his face with his hands and staggered back. Blood flowed from his fingers, and he fell on the deck and rolled in pain. Then Sheyan saw a Spanish sailor and started to climb up. Fang Senyan took a step forward, whizzed down with his heavy ax and chopped the sailor into a bloody mess. He flew back to the lifeboat. However, he was shocked to find that the enemy's lifeboat suddenly became higher. If we talk about the initial height difference with the Bell and Wine Glass, If it was three meters, then now it is probably less than two meters. At such a distance, the Spanish sailors could already raise their heads and swing their weapons to attack the pirates on their heads. Although they were still at a considerable disadvantage, they were no longer in a bad situation like the original where they could only be beaten passively.

Fang Senyan's mind flashed, he had a wealth of experience in sailing on the sea, and he immediately understood the enemy's vicious tactics! That’s ballast!

Ships are most afraid of empty cabins. Once the weight of the ship is insufficient and the center of gravity is unstable, it is extremely easy to capsize on this windy ocean. Especially when the lifeboat is used for boarding operations, once the draft is insufficient, the violent shaking during the collision alone This will cause the ship to capsize. Therefore, when these three lifeboats set sail, a large amount of ballast must be piled in the bottom tank to press down the waterline to stabilize the hull. At this time, after joining the side, the lifeboats were fixed on the bell and wine glass. With the number above, naturally there are no worries in this regard! These Spanish sailors threw the ballast into the sea water. The weight of the lifeboat itself was reduced, so of course the draft became shallower and the entire hull would float.

As soon as he thought of this, Fang Senyan walked around. He immediately saw that the Spanish sailors' ballast was a square wooden box of about one meter, with a stone inside. They threw the stones into the sea, but the wooden boxes were delivered to the deck near the enemy ship and stacked horizontally! This undoubtedly provides a platform for the sailors who engage in close combat! At the end, the Spanish sailors who were close to the side of the ship were standing on the deck of the lifeboat, and their heads were clearly parallel to or even higher than the deck of the Bell and Wineglass. In this way, the swords they wield will be more lethal, it will be more convenient to fight, and once there is a gap, they can climb to the opponent's deck without a rope hook!

"Interesting." A sneer appeared on Sheyan's lips. He started to move forward, and slapped the head of a pirate next to him who was banging around like a headless fly. "Why are you running around? Go help over there!"

No man likes to be patted on the head, let alone these brutal pirates. But when this guy looked up and saw that it was Sheyan, he immediately shrank his head and said in fear: "Okay, boss." Then he ran in the direction that Sheyan pointed.

At this time, Sheyan's prestige among the remaining pirates had invisibly risen to a considerable height. The vast majority of people will obey the orders he issues.

And Sheyan himself was like a tireless firefighter, rushing to wherever danger arose. These pirates have also come back to their senses and understand that this is a situation where you die or I die, and it is also a bloody battle regardless of casualties! The sailors of the Spanish Armada were indeed brave, but the pirates were in a commanding position and had the advantage of being able to use matchlock guns. In such a stalemate, Sheyan not only showed amazing combat capabilities, but he also At the same time, the scheduling ability and command ability displayed are really amazing!

Don't forget that before entering the nightmare space, Sheyan almost became the second officer on a 10,000-ton ship. His experience in life at sea is extremely rich, and his management methods/ideas and scheduling methods are even more advanced in this world. Thousands of years! These remaining defeated soldiers, old, weak, sick and disabled, would of course show the courage to fight to the death in the face of a desperate situation. At the same time, under his command and control, they quickly formed a steel-like defense line! Later, Sheyan even assembled a makeshift matchlock team of about ten people to shoot wherever they wanted. Once Spanish sailors rushed up somewhere, there would immediately be a volley of guns! No matter how elite the sailors are, it is impossible not to retreat!

Armand, who was fighting fiercely on the deck of the merchant ship, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was first blocked, he was indeed desperate. No one knows better than him how bad the situation on the ship is, and Gusta in front of him is also a cunning and powerful enemy. Even though his strength is not as good as his own, he still uses the "drag" to the fullest. Although Armand was anxious at the time, he could only calm down and face it, otherwise, don't say bells and wine glasses, even his own life would be lost here!

But Armand could not help but pay attention to the situation on the battlefield. When he saw Fang Sheyan standing up and turning the bad situation back step by step, he was inevitably excited. Inspired by it, he held the gun in his hand. The silver bayonet sword flashed and nailed one of Gusta's guards in front of him through the throat. There is always a layer of rippling silver light on the tip of the slender sword, and there is not even a trace of blood on it.

At this time, the rotten corpse had already killed Kalon's group to pieces, but the one-eyed dragon Kalon let out a roar before dying, poured fire oil all over his body, and then ignited and opened his arms. He rushed forward and hugged the monster tightly! In the raging fire, Charon died on the spot, but it also burned the rotten corpse until it roared and roared. His two giant arms were waving wildly, stumbling around like a headless fly, completely out of control.

At this time, most of the remaining pirate ships rushed to the battlefield and began to besiege the other two merchant ships for hand-to-hand combat. The situation became intense for a time. Seeing that the situation was in a stalemate, warships from the Spanish Armada in the distance actually sent out again. Many lifeboats were brought to support these merchant ships. Although some lifeboats also capsized and sank in the wind and waves, what was fatal was that the Bell and Wine Glass was docked with two more lifeboats, and the Spanish sailors on board immediately swarmed on board. , the situation immediately became tense again.

Fortunately, some elite pirates who escaped from the merchant ship also returned to the Bell and Wineglass. Their joining undoubtedly gave the pirates who were struggling hard a shot in the arm. Sheyan was also rude to these guys, yelling and cursing them and sending them to the front line where reinforcements were most needed. Although most of these pirates were rebellious and rebellious, after seeing Sheyan's previous abilities, most of them were convinced and willing to accept orders.

However, there are always exceptions. When Sheyan ordered the pirates who had just returned to reinforce the left deck, they were pushed back by a guy wearing a brown turban. The guy tilted his head and pressed his hand. Said on the sailor sword at the waist:

"Why do I think Cripple Tom needs more support? You don't have eyes? There's going to be a breach there soon!"

Sheyan glanced at him and said calmly:

"Who are you?"

The brown scarf puffed up his chest:

"Now that the captain is away and Scar Henry is in a coma, why should you, a newcomer, give orders? Naturally, I, Erwin the Fang, should take over the ship! Everyone, follow me!"

What he said next was to the group of makeshift matchlock gunners behind Fang Sheyan. Sheyan smiled gently and said:

"you're right."

At this time, Fang Senyan had put down the heavy ax for the convenience of command. Instead, he snatched a sailor's sword from the body of the dead Spanish sailor and wore it on his waist. Before he finished speaking, he drew the sword with a swipe. Hit that Erwin head-on!
