Chapter 215 Grabbing Time

Considering the difficulty of this operation, there was no need to keep it secret, so Black Prince Sam had told the five captains the route of the Spanish treasure ship as early as the night before departure.

If Jarvis really betrayed others, he had a chance to reveal the news to the Navy that night, and looking back now, his Warrior was delayed for most of the voyage. It also makes it easier for him to communicate with the following fleet.

Coupled with what Harry heard, it was basically certain that they were being plotted this time, so the question now was how much time was left for them.

The human eye can observe ships almost ten nautical miles away under normal circumstances.

But to be on the safe side, the fleet should usually be followed at a distance of twenty nautical miles. In this way, if the people on the island notify them to take action, it will take at least five hours to go back and forth, so the time to launch an attack It should be almost dawn.

Zhang Heng shook his head, "I'm afraid the situation is not that optimistic. It's night now, and our line of sight is only one or two nautical miles. There's no need for them to stay so far away. If it's quick, the fleet will be here in less than an hour, but this time Just the most extreme case, when did you see that ship leave?”

Zhang Heng's last words were to Harry. The latter was shaken by the cold wind and said, "I don't know. I was very nervous at that time and didn't pay much attention to how the time passed. But it was about 30 minutes away from me falling off the cliff." It must have been more than half an hour."

"That means the fleet may appear in front of us at any time." Annie raised her eyebrows.

"We must inform the people on the beach quickly, otherwise we won't have to fight this battle at all. When that fleet comes over, it will directly sink all our ships parked in the port. They don't even need to go to the island, they can starve to death. "Diffrena said with a serious expression.

"But it took us more than an hour to get here. Now it will take at least forty minutes to go back." The red-haired girl said.

"Don't move together. You and I will go back first, and the others can wait a little later." Zhang Heng said as he took off his coat and put it on Harry. He gave the four short muskets to Di. Freyner had three, and he only kept one for self-defense. He also handed over the saber to try to lighten the load as much as possible. Anne on the other side did the same, and she only kept a dagger in the end.

The two then ran towards the beach together.

During the time the two lived together, Annie often slumped in the chair like a salted fish. Zhang Heng rarely saw her exercising seriously, but she has always maintained a good figure. Every inch of her muscles is tight and she has incredible Her explosive power and strength surpass that of most men. Except for the fact that her breasts have never developed, her body is almost perfect (in fact, she herself doesn't care much about breasts).

When running in the forest, it looks like a vigorous deer.

However, Annie's shortcoming is indeed endurance. Although the red-haired girl's endurance is stronger than that of ordinary people, she is still not as good as Zhang Heng, who has been insisting on long-distance running.

In the first ten minutes, Annie was still at the front, but then she began to fall behind. However, by this time, the two of them had run almost half the distance.

Annie stopped to take a breath and said to Zhang Heng, "You go first, don't worry about me, I will catch up later."

Zhang Heng nodded. This was not the time to show off his gentlemanly demeanor. Going to the beach a minute earlier and telling others about Jarvis's betrayal would allow others to prepare for the upcoming battle a minute earlier.

Zhang Heng kept his speed and breathing rhythm, running through the woods, pushing aside the branches blocking his way.

As a result, the next moment, a gunshot suddenly rang in his ears without warning.

Fortunately, there was still some distance between the shooter and him. The accuracy of the musket was always a problem. He was moving again, and the shot finally hit a small tree on his right rear. Zhang Heng rolled to the ground immediately after hearing the gunshot.

He thought of the two people who pushed Harry off the cliff before. They must be Jarvis's confidants. Zhang Heng did not expect that they were still in the woods. They must have heard someone from the Jackdaw calling Harry's name. , they knew the location of Zhang Heng and others, and ambush the latter on his way back.

Seeing Zhang Heng running with all his strength, he realized that the plan might be revealed and decided to take action.

Zhang Heng had roughly locked the direction. He looked up and saw the attacker. He was about 20 meters away from him. One of them was hiding behind a tree to take aim, and the other was busy loading gunpowder and bullets. Zhang Heng did not hesitate. The trigger was pulled, and the bullet accurately hit the person he was aiming at.

He also rolled up from the ground and rushed towards the remaining person. When the latter saw Zhang Heng rushing towards him, he looked a little nervous and threw out most of the remaining gunpowder in his hand. He had no choice but to throw it away. He dropped the musket in his hand and drew out his machete to prepare for the fight.

When Zhang Heng was about to rush in front of the target, he threw out the short musket that was out of bullets. The guy on the opposite side blocked it with a knife. Then Zhang Heng kicked him on the wrist, and the scimitar in his hand came out. Then Zhang Heng hit the guy in the chin with a backhand straight punch.

The latter's head was obviously a bit blurred after receiving this punch. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground. Then Zhang Heng rode on him. However, before he could make up for the last blow, a black figure suddenly He jumped down from the tree and struck him in the back with a knife.

This incident was beyond Zhang Heng's expectation, because Harry said that there were only two people who dealt with him, and Zhang Heng immediately found the two people he targeted after the attack. This seemed to be consistent with what Harry had said before. , so he didn't expect that there was a third person present, which made him a little embarrassed.

Although he leaned forward to dodge, he was still hit by the knife on his back and was cut open. Fortunately, it was just a flesh wound, but at this time he had to face two opponents at the same time, and his body There are no weapons yet. Although Zhang Heng knows a little karate, swordsmanship is the close combat skill he has practiced for the longest time. Moreover, the fleet may arrive at the harbor at any time, so he cannot stay here for too long.

But then he saw the familiar short fiery red hair in the forest. After resting for a while, Annie rushed over and said, "You go to the beach and leave it to me."

The red-haired girl took out the dagger from her waist and licked her lips, "I didn't have much chance to fight in the previous battles. I hope you can make me sweat a little this time."
