Chapter 0171 encounter on the sea (2)

 Humph! This is what they are going to provoke her first, but she didn't take the initiative to cause trouble for the other party! So, little Annie can prepare to start bombarding the other party without any scruples.

"Hurry! Just now, hang the flag and let them surrender immediately! Otherwise, we will fire!"

As the two sides got closer and closer, Anne excitedly asked the sailors to raise a flag that meant to persuade the other party to surrender. As long as the other party did not surrender, she was ready to start to have a free cannon and play. Hanging the flag was just a matter of meaning. In her opinion, the other party would definitely not surrender under such circumstances.

"Ah? Yes!"

The sailor thought this order was outrageous. Look, the other party now has three warships and they are attacking actively, and there is only one Fearless ship on his side. No matter what, these Spaniards will definitely not surrender until there is no war or the situation is clear, right?

However, he did not dare to say much. Since the little witch issued the order, he obeyed and asked the sailors to raise the flag that persuaded the enemy to surrender.

Now in this period of great navigation, the flag language has just begun to develop, and many specific contents cannot be expressed. However, there are generally some simple general flags: such as the white flag hung during unconditional surrender, which can be used both in sea and land; there are also the pirate skull flags that are ready to rob, indicating that they want to steal things or kill and set fire; or the flags they are hanging now that force the other party to surrender, etc.

How could they still run so fast against the wind?

Hilton put away the telescope and his face was a little serious. He couldn't understand the other party's battleship. It was obviously against the wind, but it had just started Yang Fan. Why did it suddenly want to become very fast? This is very unreasonable!

As commander of the Spanish Royal Squadron, Hilton, whose small fleet currently has only three warships, has just finished an escort journey to more than a dozen important commercial transport ships in his country. Now, they are on their way back to the Caribbean.

Since the dispute with Britain for maritime hegemony has begun over the years, the interests of Spain have been damaged more and more severely. Not only is the damage to the fleet causing the continuous decline of maritime power, but just a few years ago, those idiot bureaucrats also ceded Jamaica, a very important strategic location... Whenever they think of this, Hilton always tries to kill those idiots!

Over the years, Spain has been hit by the British fleet. Seeing the powerful Spanish Empire weakening day by day, as a small man, he could only do the simple work of escorting, and never dared to overestimate himself to find trouble for the British fleet.

But unexpectedly, on the way back this time, he encountered a lonely British Fearless Class battleship on a remote route?

When Hilton was in the telescope, looking at the other party's huge and bloated hull, he dared to swear to God that he was absolutely not wrong, that it was definitely a British battleship!

Those stupid British people thought they could not see it if they didn’t hang the British flag? Ha! This is really ridiculous. It is obviously a battleship, but they dare not hang the national flag. They must be guilty, right? Want to get confused from under their noses?

"Everyone is ready to cut it up, surround it and attack it, be sure to sink!"

Since he finally caught a fat sheep alone, Hilton decided to do a big vote! Anyway, there are few ships on this route, and they will not leave any living allowance. I believe no one knows that it was the Spanish who did it? After so many years, I finally have the opportunity to let the British see how powerful the Spanish are!

In any case, he has made up his mind now. Today, taking advantage of this god-given opportunity, he must take it down and sink it!

"Master, the other party hung a flag and asked us to surrender immediately..."

A sailor looking over the mast basket shouted loudly to the commander standing at the bow of the ship below.

Even he himself was a little puzzled. In such a one-on-three situation, the other party dared to surrender? He once thought that he had read it wrong, but when he repeatedly looked at it and confirmed that the information was correct, he had to bite the bullet and report the latest situation to the commander below.

"What? Forced to surrender? Are they idiots?"

After the sailors were arranged to prepare for the battle, as the distance between the two sides gradually approached, Commander Hilton, who was standing at the bow, also saw the flag hanging from the top of the other side's mast, meaning to persuade the surrender.

This made him feel incredible. He even doubted whether the other party had hung the wrong flag? At this time, a person with a more normal mind should want to hang a white flag representing surrender, right?

"These bastards!"

After picking up the telescope and observing it carefully, confirming that the other party had opened the cannon door and preparing for the battle, Hilton finally confirmed that the other party was not joking or hung the wrong flag. They were indeed planning to persuade their side to surrender.

At this moment, Hilton felt that he was greatly insulted! The flag seemed to be nakedly mocking them Spanish!

It seems that these stupid and arrogant British people still can't figure out the situation... Now that they have reached this point, they still naively think that they can defeat their three warships?

This is simply a big joke!

"Start up! Everyone, get ready for the battle!"

Hilton issued an order with a dark face, and this time he would directly sink the other party's ship!

Moreover, God testified that he would never take in and salvage any prisoners this time! He would let these arrogant British men soak in the sea so that their minds would be completely awake?

...

"Ahhh! They're finally here!"

After seeing the other party approaching and seeing the figure on the other party's deck with almost the naked eye, little Annie began to run to an artillery excitedly and urged the gunner to start.

"Hurry! Hurry up! Give me the tongs and let me fire!"

After getting the burning tongs, she didn't even think about it, and she just clicked the tongs on the medicine door of the cannon lead.

"It's not possible now! Dear Lord Witch! We are still far from reaching the effective distance of shelling!"

The cannon captain who was following the side was about to collapse and could only explain patiently without tears.

The situation is so serious now that the strength gap between the two sides is obvious, and he almost cried his voice!

Look, it's the 1V3 situation now, and their situation is already very bad. If a little girl commands it randomly, I'm afraid everyone today will die here? If the shelling starts at this distance, I'm afraid that even the shadow of the other ship will not be able to hit, and the shells will fall into the sea halfway.

This little broken child simply wanted to waste a precious round of shooting! If she really let her fire randomly, before the bullets were loaded again, I am afraid that the other party's three warships would have approached and started the first round of volleys?

"Ah? It's not enough to be so close? What kind of broken cannon is yours?"

Now this is obviously very close, why do you still say that the distance is not enough? Is their thing a cannon?

Well, since that's the case, she had to think of something.

Magic: Increased range!

Annie thought about it a little bit seriously, then she reached out her hand and suddenly cast a spell on the cannon in front of her. The cannon seemed to emit a little blue light and lit it. Then the blue light quickly affected all the cannons and eventually disappeared.

"Okay! The attack distance should be enough now! Everyone, follow my orders and fire immediately!"

After casting the spell, little Annie raised the burnt tongs in her hand, and prepared to stroke the fuse on the medicine door.

"Ah? Is this really OK?"

The cannon leader looked at the little witch blankly. He was not sure what the blue light meant just now. Then he looked at the cannon that seemed to have no change, gritted his teeth, and finally issued an order to fire the cannon.

"Everyone, open fire!"

He doesn't want to care anymore, so he can do whatever these little witches do! If he can't beat them, let these witches go on the battlefield and throw the fireball. Anyway, their magic is very powerful, I hope they don't want it then!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Nearly forty cannons on the side of Bianhyun of the Fearless, after hearing the order, began to roar one by one!

Accompanied by bursts of smoke and the flames of the muzzle, solid shells roared towards the battle line composed of three Spanish warships.

"Haha! It's indeed a group of stupid British people! They actually fired at this distance?"

Hilton put away his telescope. He had just seen the cannons on the British warships began to spew out flames and smoke in turn. Even he did not expect that the other party launched shelling on the three Spanish warships at this distance. The other party's commander must be a fool, right?

He could already foresee the opponent's failure! At this distance, the opponent no longer had the possibility of firing again. As for the artillery on the other side of Fangxuan, there was definitely no chance to fire. They would never give the other party time to turn.

"Architecture! The shells are flying over!"

While Hilton was about to laugh at the other party with one of the adjutants, the first mate of his flagship suddenly shouted loudly, and then he stepped forward and threw Hilton onto the deck.

The next moment, countless solid shells hit the fleet with their heads and faces. Although most of them hit the sea directly, about ten shots hit the hulls or sails of three warships.

The most unlucky one was the warship that followed the last. It was hit by a gunpowder barrel on the deck. The hot shells broke through the barrel and also detonated the granular gunpowder filled it.

So, after a violent explosion, the stern of the ship was blown into a pile of rags, and many sailors and soldiers were blown away, causing the stern to burn directly. Although the open flame was quickly extinguished by the sailors with buckets, the whole ship still looked thick smoke and looked extremely embarrassed.

"How is this possible? Their artillery was hit so far?"

After Hilton stood up, he pushed the adjutant away and stood by the fence with an incredible look on his face and looked at the ship No. 3 behind his flagship, which was emitting thick smoke.

At such a long distance, the other party actually hit it. Even his flagship was smashed two holes and the hull suffered a serious skin injury.

What kind of artillery is on the other party's ship? Is it the British's new carrier-based cannon? It's almost time to get ashore to prevent heavy artillery? Is this the other party's confidence?

"Quick! Order the fleet and go forward at full speed! Get close to it in the shortest time!"

Hilton quickly issued the order he thought was correct, and this time he might have been careless! How could he have thought that the other party's artillery could hit so far?

However, now the opponent has already fired a volley. As long as he quickly approaches it and bites it hard, he believes that the final victory will eventually belong to Spain!

Then, after sinking the opponent, maybe he can salvage the opponent's guns for research? If he can harvest the latest British naval guns, he will at least make great contributions to the Spanish Empire? Medals and rewards are definitely indispensable! Maybe he can even add a few more warships to his small fleet?

"Is it really hit?"

The artillery captain standing next to Anne looked at the enemy ship with a little dull and silently rising from the flames and smoke. He never expected that their artillery bombardment had actually hit such a long distance and hit a lot?

What did this witch do to the cannon just now? Is it their strange magical witchcraft? Just like the strong wind on the sail?

"Okay! We hit it!"

After seeing the ship behind the enemy fleet suddenly burst into flames and smoke, little Anne began to cheer with her two twin sisters happily, and then she quickly urged the gunners to reload the bullets. She couldn't wait to have another round of volleys and must sink them!

"Ah! Master, it's not good! They are accelerating and leaning over!"

On the side, Cecilia saw the enemy's actions more carefully, and quickly spoke up to remind her.

If the other party is allowed to pass the exam, his ship will definitely be bombarded by the enemy, right? Moreover, the other party has three warships. At that time, those dense terrifying shells will roar and bombard them, then it will be terrifying to think about it!

"Huh? Yes! You must not let them lean over, we must keep our distance!"

Although Anne was not afraid of the other party's approaching, she still wanted to play slowly for a while. This time, she had to aim at the rows of cannons on the deck and ignite the fire one by one!

"Quick! Helmsman! Steer! Keep a good distance and don't give them a chance to get closer!"

"Steer, keep the distance with the left rudder!"

This time, the sailor did not hesitate much and directly repeated the little witch's order.

After Anne's spell cast just now, their artillery actually hit a distance of several times, which made him very convinced! This kind of keeping the distance between the two sides allowed him to hit the other party, but the other party could not hit his own order is obviously extremely correct, and of course he must firmly support it!

"Ah! I really like this ship now!"

Jack Sparrow just saw the effect of shelling. This kind of shelling at a distance was something he could never imagine in the past!

This Fearless ship was originally just an ordinary battleship, big, slow, stupid and slow to run, but now, after the witch's successive attempts to enchant, it has become fast and sensitive, and the range of the artillery has increased several times out of thin air. This is simply invincible in the Caribbean Sea, right?

"Hey! Norrington, what do we want to discuss? This ship belongs to me, and the Black Pearl in Port Royal belongs to you?"

When Jack Sparrow thought of the fastest-running battleship, the Fearless battleship with the farthest artillery range, was on the Caribbean Sea, kiteing a large group of enemies, and bombarding it.

Now, he no longer looked down on the original black pearl. The original black pearl was just the fastest, but it was not much faster. How could he run a super high speed of thirty knots like the current Fearless ship? This is simply beyond the imagination space of humans in this world.

"Bastard Jack! The Black Pearl is my ship! Do you actually want to use it to trade?"

When he was secretly shocked by the power of the Fearless and the terrifying spell of the little witch, Barbosa actually heard someone want to trade his Black Pearl, and instantly became furious. He really wanted to draw out the musket and give this damn Jack Sparrow a lead bullet!
