Chapter 157 The wolf group tactics, the enemy advances and we retreat
The first step in hunting operations is to master the course of the Ark.
Fortunately, this hunting operation was supported by the Assassin Brotherhood.
Through the Fei Ge's letter, Kid contacted the Assassin branch in Havana.
After waiting in Nassau for about a week, everyone in the Pirates' League received news from Havana - the Ark will set off in three days to head to Spain!
As soon as he heard this news, the pirates who were already ready to fight immediately summoned the sailors and set sail!
Edward Kenway's Jackdaw, Blackbeard's Adventure, Levicer's Bostiron, Kidd's William, Charles Wayne's Ranger, Jack Lackham's Royal Phoenix
The six pirates formed a temporary fleet and were divided into three squads.
Jackdaw, Ranger, Adventure, is the first team, responsible for solving the frigate of the Ark.
The remaining three pirate ships are responsible for transforming into groups of wolves on the sea and driving the Ark to Dainagawa Island.
As the action planner and who knows Decas, Rorschach formed a single team and took the initiative to take the task of landing on the island to kill Decas and his crew.
According to the Caribbean Islands' route to Spain, the pirates' joint fleet quickly caught up with the Ark, which was protected by six Spanish frigates!
And at this time, perhaps God also sensed that a great war was coming.
In order to add a little bit of atmosphere, it suddenly changed its face, and the black clouds gradually occupied the entire sky.
After a while, lightning and thunder were roaring. Raindrops as big as beans dripped one after another.
Amid the "hurrying" sound of rain, the Jackdaws were very busy.
The surging waves hit the Jackdaw, and the hull couldn't help but sway gently, and the waves splashed on the crew from time to time.
But these are walking like flying, faithfully executing every command of the captain.
Standing at the stern of the boat, Edward, who was soaked all over, shouted at the crew members and slowed down to keep a distance from the target fleet. While handing the rudder to Advale, he took out his monocular lens and looked at the huge figure ahead that was faintly blocked by the dark rain curtain.
The huge figure and the rows of gunfires that were faintly visible made Edward's expression solemn.
Even though he was prepared in his heart, he was shocked when he saw the target.
He handed the telescope to the qualifier next to him and took the helm again, and then he heard an unconcealed voice of surprise in his ears:
"Look at that figure! It's like a beast on the sea!"
Hearing the quarconian's sigh, Edward's hands holding the rudder tightened and suddenly cursed:
"Sachi (Blackbeard), you're still crazy as always..."
However, from the corners of his slightly upturned mouth and the wildness flashing in his eyes, it can be seen that he did not resist this crazy plan, but enjoyed it!
Such a goal is worth half of their Pirate Alliance to send out hunting, isn’t it?!
"Captain, are we really going to grab this ship?"
Looking back, Edward couldn't help but reach out and patted the black quartermaster on the shoulder and responded with great enthusiasm:
"certainly!"
"But it's not now. Follow the plan, keep a distance first and wait for the right time!"
Just as the side was already eyeing the Ark, at the same time, the Poseidon, with the Black Dragon Banner, slowly sailed into an unknown island harbor in Dainagou.
In the captain's room, Rorschach, who had already been dressed in a special black assassin service, took off the triangle hat symbolizing the captain and hung it on the hanger beside it.
Pulling a little messy black hair with a ponytail, Rorschach looked down at his left hand.
With a light "click", a sharp sword blade suddenly popped up at the cuff of the left hand.
After carefully looking at it, checking the pistol and the sword, Rorschach walked out of the captain's room and followed the cabin to the deck.
On the deck, there were about forty fully equipped sailors gathered.
In the eyes of every crew member, there is only worship and respect for Rorschach.
If you can see the favorability, all crew members' favorability towards Rorschach will be overwhelming!
In their eyes, it was this young captain who led them across the sea and enjoyed the passion of plunder and adventure.
So, they are willing to always believe in Rorschach and follow Rorschach until the end of hell!
He stepped on the side guardrail of the boat, grabbed the sail cable in his hand, and pulled out the long sword from his waist with his other hand and waved it in the air.
Meeting the crew's eyes, Rorschach said loudly: "Guys, let's take the island in front of us for the sake of the pirates and Nassau!"
As soon as the words were finished, the crew raised their hands at the same time and responded in unison:
"Why!!!"
...
Through flag-speaking exchanges, the ready-made pirates' joint fleet finally launched an attack!
The first to lead the charge was Charles Wayne's "Ranker"
And his target is naturally the frigate surrounding the Ark.
Boom boom boom boom!
Under the night, the sound of cannons came one after another, and continued.
The pirates' tactics are like wolves hunting a herd of reindeer. They first drive the deer in one direction, then lock in the weakest target, and then rush up and bite it into pieces!
Once the frigate endured the harassment and chose to attack, the pirates immediately used their flexible ship speed to escape quickly.
Then they waited for the frigate to return to the route and escort, and they chased after him like a gangrene attached to the bone.
Such tactics are somewhat similar to the guerrilla warfare adopted during the Anti-Japanese War of Resistance in the Celestial Empire.
As the saying goes, if the enemy advances, we retreat, and if the enemy retreats, we chase!
However, Dikas on the Ark was very depressed.
Although the Ark is powerful in fire, it is a fourth-class battleship with more than fifty artillery pieces.
However, due to its huge size and extremely bulky steering, and its ship's gun range is too close, it can only use mortars to strike the pirates at a long range.
However, such delayed artillery bombardment will not cause any trouble to the pirate joint fleet with all brigs.
As long as you predict the landing point of the shell in advance and avoid it for a little while, the falling shells will basically fall on the sea surface.
In this way, under the constant biting of the pirate fleet, the number of frigates also changed from six to five.
Four...Three...
As the frigates were paralyzed by artillery fire one by one and left the fleet, Decas on the Ark was also a little panicked.
While cursing these bold pirates, he issued an order to let the helmsman control the ship to his hiding place in Dainagau.
As long as he arrives there, he can use the terrain advantages of the natural barrier to annihilate these rampant pirates!
However, what he didn't know was that an old acquaintance was already waiting for him to come to his door at his hiding place...
