Chapter 561: Cannon, brainless
At this time, the more terrifying grapeshot also came.
When it flew out of the barrel, it looked like a large gourd-shaped barrel.
However, when it shattered under the strong impact of gunpowder, a large number of iron bullets flew out of it, like hail falling from the sky, bombarding the sailors on the deck.
Under such a dense rain of bullets, not many people could escape unscathed, unless they were the lucky ones favored by the goddess of luck.
No matter how lucky you are, your good fortune will eventually run out, and grapeshot keeps coming.
"what!"
"Mother……"
Howls of death and cries of despair rang out one after another, and the entire deck was covered with blood.
"Fight back. Damn it, I order you to fight back!" Brigadier General James Norrington, who had luckily escaped the disaster under the protection of his confidants, gave the order angrily.
Boom boom boom boom...
The shells whizzed out and smoke filled the air.
However, the flying bullets never even touched the Interceptor and fell into the water with a plop. Apart from creating columns of water and killing a few fish that happened to pass by, there was no result at all.
"Why can't we hit them?" James Norrington shouted angrily.
"This is the maximum range of our artillery."
"Then why were they able to hit us? There were damn grapeshot among them." James Norrington gritted his teeth and asked, "That ship is also our ship, and the cannons on it are the same as ours. Why can they do it, but you can't?!"
No one can answer this question.
However, the cannon on the opposite side did not stop "speaking".
After firing ten shells, it seemed unsatisfied. After panting twice, it fired another ten shells.
Whether at sea or on land, the most feared thing in an artillery battle is never the fierceness of the enemy's artillery fire, but the fact that the enemy can hit you but you cannot hit him.
This is not only embarrassing, but also fatal.
This is the dilemma that the Dauntless is facing now.
James Norrington had thought about enduring the fierce artillery fire from the opposite side and moving directly over to engage in a thrilling boarding battle.
However, the sea breeze that came from nowhere and always stayed around the Interceptor but bypassed the Dauntless made him completely give up the idea of acting recklessly.
Wind means speed for a sailboat.
Especially for a famous fast ship like the Interceptor, having the strong wind around all the time means that it can fight or run as it pleases. No matter how powerful the Dauntless is, it can't catch up or hit it, and will eventually be completely destroyed.
"Retreat." Although James Norrington hated the pirates who stole the Interceptor so much, he even wanted to destroy the ship along with it.
But he is not a reckless person who insists on his own way. Especially when he realizes that something is impossible, no matter how unhappy he is, he still makes the most appropriate choice.
After all, he came out in the first place to rescue Elizabeth Swan, not to destroy the Interceptor.
Before, I just wanted to do it conveniently, but now, if I can't win, I will just give up. It is better to be embarrassed than to lose my military position after suffering heavy casualties.
"Master, do you want to chase it and destroy it?" Cannon pointed at the slowly retreating Dreadnought and asked with a humble look but murderous intent in his eyes.
"No need." Rosen shook his head and refused. He then glanced at the shared vision transmitted by his crows and said, "Did you see the Black Pearl leave last night?"
"I saw it." Cannon nodded and said, "But the guys on the ship neither approached nor showed any hostility, so I did not intercept them."
"You, you." Rosen pointed at it twice, feeling unhappy but not being able to get angry at it.
This guy is truly a cannon. Although he is extremely brave in battle, he is actually an empty-headed person and his actions are rigid and inflexible. He is totally incapable of being entrusted with matters that require him to be flexible.
But Rosen did not blame it. After all, it was his fault that he overestimated its intelligence. There was no need to vent his anger on the cannon.
But he was very surprised. Judging from the shared vision transmitted by the crows that stayed on the Black Pearl, the one currently controlling the Black Pearl was a pirate who was cursed like Barbossa, and there was also a pirate named Elizabeth Swann who had wiped her face with dirt on the ground.
So the question is, where is Jack Sparrow?
Just at this moment, Rosen saw a sloop floating on the sea in the distance.
Even without a telescope, Rosen's eagle vision could easily see that there were two people on the boat. The one driving the boat was Jack Sparrow, and the one staring at him with his sword on the hilt was Will Turner, the blacksmith who had always had feelings for Elizabeth Swan.
"cannon……"
"Master, please give me your instructions."
"Shoot at them." Rosen looked at the sloop speeding towards him and said, "Say hello to them."
"As ordered."
boom.
When the sloop came within range the cannon fired a single shot.
The shell grazed the ship and fell into the sea, stirring up a high column of water that splashed on the faces of Jack Sparrow and Will Turner, and made them realize that it might not be so easy for them to ask Rosen for help.
"Luo, don't fire, we are on the same side." Jack Sparrow attached his ship to the Interceptor and walked towards Rosen with a smile, "Luo, my friend, I have a problem that needs your help."
"Hey, isn't this Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl?" Rosen deliberately glanced at the boat next to him and asked, "What's going on? The Black Pearl has shrunk after not being seen for one night?"
"That's exactly what I want you to do for me." Jack Sparrow didn't care about Rosen's ridicule and said, "Last night, Elizabeth Swan and I encountered pirates who had just returned from looting Port Royal. The Black Pearl was taken away by them, and even Elizabeth Swan was abducted by them."
"What about you?" Rosen asked.
"I resisted, but I couldn't beat them, so I ran away and planned to find someone in Port Royal." Jack Sparrow was not ashamed of his escape.
This is normal. Not to mention that he is a pirate who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Even those serious soldiers would run away or even surrender if they couldn't win. It is rare for them to fight to the death on the battlefield or even commit suicide after being defeated.
Rosen knew that this was related to their culture, so he naturally wouldn't laugh at his escape. He just asked, "So, it was you who brought the Dreadnought here?"
"Well, I just wanted to find someone to help, so the first person I thought of was James Norrington." Jack Sparrow said this and sighed, "I just didn't expect him to turn against me so quickly. Not only did he want to arrest me, he even wanted to shoot me in public, so I ran away."
"Then how did you meet him?" Rosen looked at Will Turner next to him and asked.
"I was wandering around and happened to go into his blacksmith shop, and I had a fight with him, and I told him about Elizabeth Swann, so he agreed to come with me to save her."
Jack Sparrow briefly explained the situation, then looked at Rosen with burning eyes and said, "Rosen, please help us. Without you, not only will we be unable to recapture the Black Pearl, but Elizabeth Swan might also die."
"I can help you." Rosen said.
Before the two of them could be happy, he added, "But all the treasures obtained after killing those pirates will belong to me."
"Luo..." Jack Sparrow still wanted to bargain with him.
But Rosen didn't even give him a chance to speak, and said, "Okay, I'll help. If not, you can either go by yourself or find someone else."
"I agree." Will Turner held the sword with one hand and said, "But I don't trust your strength now, so I need to test you with my own hands..."
