Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 418: An Unexpected Engagement

The Queen Anne's Revenge, carried thirty-eight cannons, which was enough to take most ships seriously with a single blow. The two Greek fires at the bow can easily burn down any ship.

Now, instead of the ironclad ships that appeared in the 19th century, there are sailing battleships running across the ocean. It can be said that the most feared thing is fire attack!

A sudden fire can easily destroy a powerful warship!

In this way, it is also conceivable how effective the two Greek fires installed at the bow of the Queen Anne's Revenge will play in the battle.

It can be said that the Queen Anne's Revenge is not afraid of any powerful warships at all. The premise is that it can sail within the range of the Greek fire, otherwise the Greek fire is useless.

...

"Captain, there is a big ship coming towards us." The zombie crew knocked on the door of Blackbeard's room, and it didn't take long before Blackbeard opened the door and walked out, standing on the high poop along the stairs.

He took the binoculars handed over by the crew and observed the big ship approaching him.

Looking at it, Blackbeard saw a beautiful big ship coming towards him. The ship had double decks and had a lot of gun ports. After a rough look, there were no less than dozens of gun ports on one side, plus the other side. , indicating that this ship has at least seventy cannons.

Moreover, on this ship, Blackbeard was surprised to find that the pounds of these artillery pieces were not low, and the firepower was stronger than his ship!

Slap!

Putting away the binoculars, Blackbeard's hand lightly stroked the Triton sword at his waist, and the ropes on the Queen Anne's Revenge instantly came to life. Raise the sail and raise the sail, and pull the anchor chain on the ship. Blackbeard pulled out the magic sword from his waist, "Get ready to meet the enemy!"

"Huha!"

Whether it was zombie crew or ordinary sailors, they cheered and jumped to their respective posts, and sailors kept getting out of the bilge. When they came to their respective posts to stand by, the gunners cleaned the barrels and filled them with gunpowder and shells. The rudder twirled and sailed away from the bay towards the open sea.

...

"Blackbeard wants to escape?" Gibbs put down the binoculars in his hand, watched the Queen Anne's Revenge spun and sailed to the open sea, and looked at Jack Sparrow suspiciously.

"No, Blackbeard doesn't want to escape." Jack explained for him, "He just wants to sail to the open sea,

Fight us! Moreover, he probably fell in love with this beautiful ship. "

"Sparrow, let me see your commanding art." Jiang Ning didn't know what kind of psychology it was, but he asked Jack to command the Truth to meet the Queen Anne's Revenge.

Jack is fearless. Although Blackbeard's name is fierce, Jack is not afraid. Not to mention, he now owns a large ship with eighty-eight guns, and this ship also has magic, not inferior to Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge!

"Did you hear that? My first mate." Jack looked at Gibbs, who looked excited, "Did you hear what the captain ordered? Boys, return to your respective posts. The gunners clean the barrel, load the gunpowder, and be careful." aimed at Blackbeard."

"Oh hoo!"

The sailors cheered, and they also wanted to see urgently, what would happen to a magic ship with such powerful firepower against the notorious Queen Anne's Revenge?

After all, the Queen Anne's Revenge is also very powerful, although it is far less armed than its own side. But the opponent was the famous black beard, and the sailors were lying if they said they were not nervous.

The canvas on the mast fell, and the Truth moved its bow slightly, heading to the right; under Jack's driving, it turned gracefully and quickly, and wanted to seize the dominant position.

Relying on the strong firepower of one's own side and the firepower range far beyond Blackbeard, directly attack Blackbeard from a long distance.

...

"Who will be the opponent?" Blackbeard said nothing, put down the binoculars in his hand, the banner above the mainmast was so strange. I have never heard of which country's flag it is, nor is it the emblem of any royal family in Europe!

Although he doesn't know who his opponent is, Edward Teach is not afraid. He is the famous black beard. Who on the ocean is not afraid of his name and his ship?

Driven by Blackbeard's black magic, Queen Anne's Revenge increased its speed to 20 knots. The speed increased in an instant, and he began to try to gain the upper hand.

But at this time, waves had already set off on the sea, dark clouds covered the top, and lightning flashed wildly in the clouds. With a bang, the dazzling white light illuminated the dark world.

Not long after, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the sea began to make waves.

The two ships, both with only half-raised sails, were cruising continuously in the wide open sea, touching each other little by little. However, after all, the artillery on the Truth has a longer range, and the Queen Anne's Revenge took the lead in entering the range of the Truth's firepower.

"Fire!" Jack ordered after a while, and Gibbs opened his mouth wide and roared, "Fire!"

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The guns on the port side of the ship were fired one by one. On the dark sea, the orange flames wrapped in the black shells and shot towards the Queen Anne's Revenge rapidly.

Boom, boom!

Several cannonballs hit the deck of the Queen Anne's Revenge. The flying sawdust scratched many sailors, and the bouncing shells killed several people. With one blow, Blackbeard suffered casualties. But only a few shots were shot, and most of the shells were avoided by Blackbeard's superb driving skills.

Blackbeard looked as usual, driving the ship in a zigzag pattern, constantly approaching the Truth. In order to reach within the range of the firepower, Jack was very clear about Blackbeard's thoughts. He kept opening the distance between each other, and used his own superior firepower to keep shooting at the Revenge. This made Blackbeard extremely annoyed. Although he dodged most of the shells, the hull was also hit by more than ten rounds one after another. If this continues, defeat will happen sooner or later, and he will be dragged down by this constant kite-flying tactic.

To avoid this situation, you can only distance yourself from each other. Let the opponent's ship also be located within its own firepower coverage point, plus two Greek fires installed at the bow of the ship, it is enough to reverse the situation in one battle.

Blackbeard is very confident, there is no ship on the sea that is not afraid of fire. Once it is close to the coverage point of the Greek fire spray, even if it cannot burn down the opponent's ship, it can still cause confusion to the opponent. And at that time, his own Triton sword can control the opponent's rope, and then defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. Capture this huge, powerful, super-fast ship!

Blackbeard had never seen such a large ship with powerful firepower on the sea, but it was still so fast. The most important thing is that for some unknown reason, the draft of this ship is extremely shallow, only more than 3 meters. Blackbeard couldn't wait to claim the ship, making it his proudest trophy.

He yanked out the Triton Sword from his waist, and the Queen Anne's Revenge instantly changed from half-sail to full-sail. All the sails were opened, and under the blessing of black magic, the speed has exceeded 20 knots.

The Queen Anne's Revenge rushed straight to the Truth with an indomitable posture. Everyone thought Blackbeard was crazy, but those who knew Blackbeard knew that Blackbeard's first battle in his debut was based on this almost desperate style of play, which made him famous.

"Starboard gun ready!" Jack shouted, the invisible barrier covered the roaring wind and the downpour of rain, so that no one would be affected by the bad weather. Jack was driving the ship, turning the rudder quickly, and the ship was heading to the right side; then, the gun windows on the right side were opened one after another, and the muzzle was exposed, faintly aiming at the Queen Anne's Revenge! However, although this avoided the impact of the Queen Anne's Revenge, it also shortened the distance between them.

A sneer was drawn at the corner of Blackbeard's mouth. Although he was also in the firing point of the Veritas, the Veritas also entered the firing point of the Queen Anne's Revenge under evasion.

Following the orders of the officers of both sides, the Truth and the Queen Anne's Revenge launched a fierce artillery battle as they crossed each other! For a while, thick gunpowder smoke filled the air, briefly covering each other's sight. However, Blackbeard was shocked to find that the Revenge had suffered heavy losses under the opponent's firepower. But the opponent's ship, at the moment when the cannonball was about to approach, raised a barrier emitting soft white light! The moment the shell hit the barrier, it was blocked, and then fell powerlessly into the sea.

"Fuck, it's not fair!!!"
