In this way, the Jackdaw penetrated the enemy's side with its ram, and then turned the ship sideways through the full left rudder, and aimed its own side at the enemy's side.

The enemy ship was at an inclined angle. Although the artillery was still left at the muzzle, the soldiers had already started to slide toward the other side of the ship. Countless piles of materials and shells hit their heads, and they could not fire at all.

At this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, all the Jackdaw gunners were ready, waiting for the captain's order.

"Stand by, stand by!"

Gordon shouted loudly that he would wait for the enemy ship to fall a little further to the side.

The Spanish cruiser had already tilted its hull at an angle of nearly 40 degrees, and the rate of tipping was getting slower and slower.

"Fire!" Gordon yelled.

Boom boom boom! ! !

The violent gunpowder smoke obscured the sky, and all the iron bullets sprayed by the flames penetrated the armor of the ship's side. Twenty shells made the side of the ship look like thousands of holes. From the gun emplacement, you could even see the despair of the soldiers inside the enemy ship. , holding on to ropes and something that can be fastened, the flames are already burning in this ship.

"They're almost done."

This is what everyone thinks.

Those heavy shells will act as the last straw, whether it's the impact or its own weight.

But what is unexpected is that the shell directly penetrated the hull, and a hole was made from the other side of the ship, which caused a lot of soldiers and cargo inside the Spanish battleship to fall into the sea, and then the ship's rollover slowly stopped. down.

Most of the bottom of the boat can be seen clearly, and the angle of inclination has reached 45 degrees, but just like that, it stopped, and then gradually corrected the hull, like a tumbler.

Gordon was stunned when he saw this scene, and then had a bad hunch about what was about to happen.

"Watch out for bumps!"

Now it was too late to turn the hull, and I saw the cruiser smashed hard.

boom! boom! !

The violent impact directly smashed the sides of the two ships, countless wooden boards flew, and the fixed position of the artillery on the deck was smashed, and began to slide to the side, bringing a sailor directly into the water.

This kind of natural disaster-like injury caused everyone to bury their heads and watch the broken wooden boards fly over their heads, and then the Jackdaw also began to fall to the side.

"Hold on! Everyone, hold on!"

At such a critical juncture, there is only one person walking around, and that is Serena.

Holding the black cat in one hand, she walked upstairs and looked at Gordon curiously: "Are you all right?"

Gravity completely lost its effect on him, she was holding a black cat and looked very relaxed.

"Of course there is something, help Serena, if you are really a witch."

Gordon grabbed the rudder to prevent his body from falling to one side. The hull was already leaning at a thirty-degree angle, and the cruiser was still leaning to this side.

"Sorry Gordon, I don't know how to control the sea yet."

Serena blushed a little, standing on the dangerous ship building, but nothing hit her, as if there were eyes behind her back, or something bypassed her.

"Then Serena, what are you doing now?" Gordon suppressed his helplessness and said in a tone that was close to calm.

"I'm just looking to see where I can help."

"……Have it?"

"Of course, I'm helping you take care of Quelin."

"Okay, thank you Serena, hurry up and go back to the captain's room now!"

……

The ship didn't completely topple over. When it reached a certain limit, the whole ship stopped and made a creaking noise.

The ballast at the bottom of the ship and the captured cannons helped the Jackdaw stabilize the hull, and then swung back, and the hull fell sharply towards the cruiser's position. The two ships were two tumblers colliding at this time. But the distance has been drawn.

The collision pushed the hull away, but almost all the sailors on both sides were hit hard. Whether it was bumps or being overwhelmed by cargo shells, which side can recover now will be able to regain the upper hand.

"Mickey! Can you still fire?"

Gordon called out to the boatswain in the cabin.

"The captain can't be done, the shells are still rolling around, and the gunners are all injured."

The shock has not stopped, Gordon looked at the eight sailors who had fallen into the water, he could not repeat the same mistakes.

In the last battle, the Jackdaw lost a total of seven sailors, three of whom fell into the water and were swept away by the waves, or were swept into the bottom of the ship.

The ships on both sides hadn't recovered yet, and Gordon threw the ropes while shouting.

"Throw down the excess rope and let down the rope ladder."

The sailors endured their physical discomfort and prepared to rescue the sailors who fell into the water first. The two ships stopped because of the collision. It was enough for these sailors to hold on to the ropes and not get lost in the sea.

The two ships were only less than 70 meters apart, so it could be said that they were almost in front of you, and there was hardly any enemy standing on the deck.

They first suffered much more damage than the Jackdaw,

As time passed by, the shaking of the ship gradually calmed down, and the sailors gradually stood firm. Even though there was blood on their heads, the machetes in their hands were not loose.

Every second is an opportunity. Since the artillery can't be used, then we will take over the side battle.

"Hook the enemy ship!"

The sailors found a fixed rope from the messy and broken side of the ship, and countless boarding hooks were thrown over and began to draw the two ships closer.

The soldiers on the cruiser looked at the gradually approaching Jackdaw with fear in their eyes. Their ship approached the side of the enemy ship, and the two collisions almost destroyed it~lightnovelpub.net~ The whole ship has been used in a strange way. The posture is suspended at sea, whether it is shells, muskets, scimitars, or sailors are almost thrown into the sea, of course, thanks to the huge gap, tearing one-third of the gap on the side of the hull.

The huge and heavy bronze prime minister of the Jackdaw also smashed into a large part of the hull. Many people died, and a huge gap was opened in the bottom of the ship. The ship was constantly flooding, and it could hardly support it for long.

And the enemy is still attacking frantically, as if they don't know what fear is, they are desperately pulling the rope, trying to kill them all.

"Support the soldiers, you are the Royal Spanish Navy, there is nothing you can fear!"

The captain tied himself to the rudder, and only escaped the disaster, but when he stood up, he saw a complete rout, and almost no one had the courage to resist.

But they can't fail, tow the ship here until the front battle is decided, this is the order he received.

"Sir, we are out of weapons!"

A soldier climbed up from the deck in a daze, with blood all over his head, dust and wood chips sticking to it.

"Then use your fists, soldier, we will surely guard our ships!"

"Yes, sir!"

Young and **** soldiers have a duty to obey orders. Now that their superiors have given orders, they look for anything that can be used as a weapon, iron hooks, wooden boards, or even a piece of rope.

But blood could not stop the artillery. Almost all the artillery on the deck of the Jackdaw was damaged, but the ones in the cabin could still be used normally. Some sailors gradually touched the cannonballs rolling on the ground and the gunpowder package wrapped in oil paper, and then stuffed them inside. .

"Free to fire!"
