Chapter 33: 33. Small For Big

The Ares crushed the waves and approached the wrecked ship cautiously. The shadow cast by the tall hull shrouded the wrecked ship. The difference in size between these two was more than double. There were a lot of sailors standing on the deck of the Ares. Each with a musket and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the wrecked ship. No one dared to neglect.

The gun ports on the side of the hull were pulled open in unison. Black gun muzzle stretched out, facing the wrecked ship that was half short.

Nahum stood on the starboard side, looking eagerly at the situation on the opposite ship. There was a large area of ​​blood smeared on the sea. Scattered corpses lay on the deck of the wrecked ship. Two alluring treasure chests were among the corpses. The only survivor was lying on the treasure chest, clutching the wound on his stomach.

"S-Save me!" the survivor said, dying. He wore an old wide-brimmed hat with a black-stained face under the low brim. Three rings on his right hand.

Nahum asked loudly, "What happened to your ship?"

"It's the crew riot. Your honorable sir..." The victim seemed to be out of breath after speaking and unable to utter a word.

"Be specific!"

The person made some faint sounds but they became smaller and smaller.

Nahum listened for a while, frowned, and asked the tactician beside him, "Can you hear what he said?"

The tactician shook his head again and again with a puzzled expression on his face and said, "I have a little impression of this ship. It seems that it docked at Carlin Port a few days ago. I just don't know the specific information. His ship type doesn't look like a merchant ship..."

Nahum rolled his eyes. He was unable to give up these two large boxes of gold coins. He ordered the shipboards to be put down and let the sailors go up and carry the treasures. The tactician was in charge of the battle policy of a ship and was equivalent to a strategist at sea. He repeatedly discouraged Nahum and advised caution.

Facts had proved the foresight of the tactician, this ship was not an ordinary ship in distress, but the Black Pearl.

In the sea where people cannot see deeply, a bomb-spitting frog lurked under the hull of the ship. It was tied to an iron chain and cannot escape. It could only follow orders. With a cannonball in its mouth, it aimed at the stern of the Ares, where the sailboat's dead spot, the rudder.

In the sea, its shooting power would be slightly reduced. But at such a close distance, it could still break a few pieces of wood. It spat out cannonballs, swayed a string of rapids in the seawater, and hit the steering rudder accurately. It was just that no one thought that the steering rudder was reinforced at least to the extent of dragon skin wood.

Tonk on the deck was still pretending to be half-dead. He was a little anxious. According to the plan, the troubler should have succeeded by now. The first step in this raid was to destroy the steering rudder of the large ship.

The gangboard was lowered, and four sailors walked cautiously toward the wrecked ship.

"Ah!" Seeing that something was wrong, Tonk jumped up like a corpse reliving, hugged the leading sailor, and shouted strangely, "Save me! Help me! I'm so hurt, my intestines are going to flow out. Look!"

The sailors were frightened and tried to push Tonk away, but found that Tonk's hands were unusually strong.

The bomb-spitting frog climbed up to the sea. It climbed up on the starboard side so that it was blocked by the hull and the people on Nahum's side couldn't see it. It whispered to the open gun door, "Give me another cannonball! Hurry up!"

Because of Tonk's despotic power, the troubler had to try its best. Tonk told everyone on the ship before the battle that if the battle failed, kill the troubler first. So it was now more urgent than anyone else.

The pirates hiding in the hull immediately stuffed the cannonball into its mouth. It went down the chain, rowing forward frantically using both hands and feet in the sea, and quickly approaching the stern of the opponent's boat. It held back its strength this time. Its egg-sized eyes turned red and then vomited heavily.

The metal cannonball had a strong destructive force and broke the most vulnerable part of the steering rudder joint.

Troubler heaved a sigh of relief, grinned and smiled, pulled the chain back to the boat, and went up to report the news.

This time, the people on the Ares felt the hull sway a few times unusually. Someone was lying on the stern and looked down. It was surprising to see that the steering rudder was broken and pieces of wood were floating up from the sea.

"Success, fire!!" Someone on the Black Pearl shouted excitedly.

After the waiting sailors in the cabin of the Black Pearl received the order, they quickly opened the gun doors and ignited the leads immediately. The gunpowder exploded in the chamber, followed by a second and a third...

At such a close distance, ten shells hit the Ares accurately and caught the opponent by surprise. Since the Black Pearl was a bit shorter than the Ares, the bottom row of the guns of the Ares was broken. The shells were shot into the belly of the ship. In addition to hitting the artillery, many people were also injured. Some sailors were directly hit by the shells and had a terrible end.

After the bomb-spitting frog climbed back to the cabin, it was not idle. It continued to play the role of an active battery. Its power was much greater than that of an ordinary medium-sized cannon.

Although there were artillery pieces on the upper deck of the Ares, they had to temporarily adjust the angle and turn the muzzle down to hit the Black Pearl.

Hearing the sound of the cannon, Tonk knew he had succeeded. His eyes flashed quickly. He pulled out the pistol at his waist and shot at the sailor of the enemy ship in front of him. The ferocious buckshot ripped open the sailor's chest, killing him instantly.

"Guys! Charge!"

Tonk growled, took off his hat, and threw it into the air. He clasped the sailor's neck tightly and pushed forward, pushing all the sailors standing on the gangboard into the sea. He kicked over the gangboard, breaking the connection between the two ships.

The "corpses" on the deck of the Black Pearl jumped up one after another with guns in their hands. They began to shoot frantically at the opposite side. The blood on the boat was nothing but red paint. Only the top layer of the two boxes of gold coins was real gold coins, and the bottom was copper coins.

This tactic of pretending to be a shipwreck was commonly used by pirates. It was planned by One-eyed the old pirate.

This is the robbery art of pirates, throw a sprat to catch a herring!

"They are not wrecked ships, but pirates!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy and fight back!"

The people on the Ares understood that they were trapped. Everyone changed their color and no one was slow to respond. They all wanted to shoot back. However, the hull trembled under a round of shelling. No one could hold the gun. Even Nahum almost fell off the boat. He was so frightened that he hugged his head and called and was protected by the sailors and retreated.

The first move was successful, and Tonk started to play the second move.

Tonk and the sailors on the deck risked their lives to drive the boat and cut off the cable. The tangled sail fell. All the sails were blown up by the wind and the hull immediately moved. Tonk ran towards the stern. When he ran behind a sailor who was hit by a bullet in the next second, which turned into a real corpse.

Tonk jumped on the bridge and gave orders while taking the helm. The rush-boat skill was stimulated. The sailors only needed to follow his orders, and the speed of the boat could be increased by a section. The ship's new building also played a key role. Bows and bullets were poured out of it, which played a good covering role and killed the deck of the Ares. One-eyed was sitting in the boathouse. There were a lot of well-loaded muskets in the bag beside him.

After a round of shelling, the ten cannons on the Black Pearl fell silent and entered the process of reloading. Sailors swarmed the deck and fired again with the small cannons on the deck.

The Ares was caught by surprise. A large ship was abused by a medium-sized ship. But Ares was tall and strong. And the sailors' fighting qualities were also very high. They quickly regrouped and began to fight back with bullets and arrows. They adjusted the cannons that could be used and prepared to teach the Black Pearl a lesson.

"Fire! How dare you lie to me! Kill them all!" Nahum shouted angrily. He hid in the room, observed the situation through the window, and relied on the herald to give him orders.

But the Black Pearl didn't plan to fight at all. It scurried out like a nimble black panther under full sail.

"Raise the pirate flag!" Tonk shouted.

The flag of the Evil Dragon Pirates was raised by the sailors. The flag used black as the background color and a dragon was drawn with white lines, which was extremely hideous.

The Black Pearl rode the wind and waves and escaped the shooting range of the Ares. The Ares' steering system was paralyzed and could not catch up at all. The Black Pearl circled and killed a comeback. The sharp ram of the bow aimed at Nahum's the Lucky.

It was a pure transport ship with weak firepower.
