Chapter 234 The End of the Kent

The whole battle lasted for about twenty minutes. Zhang Heng and others played a key role in killing the Musketeers before, and the pirates on the Jackdaw were eager for revenge. However, even under this background, in order to attack The cabin still paid a huge price.

Billy was shot for this, but fortunately it was only a scratch. Zhang Heng also joined the battle. He boarded the Kent and began to look for the commander on the opposite side. However, Walden was always under the strict protection of the soldiers, and The other side is also looking for him, wanting to kill him as the captain to collapse the morale of the Jackdaw.

Both sides are very cautious. Zhang Heng relies on his marksmanship, while Walden's side wins because they have more men and are well-trained. Neither side takes any advantage. However, if the stalemate continues, the navies in other places will be. Unable to hold on any longer, Walden had no choice but to retreat to the second deck. A fierce tug-of-war broke out between the two sides at the stairway. In the end, Anne led the vanguard to take over the place. Come down.

Walden took the remaining people and retreated to the captain's cabin.

Those navy sailors obviously knew that they had no way to retreat, and they all burst out with amazing fighting power. Billy organized manpower to charge twice, but were beaten back each time. Several corpses were also thrown away, leaving the Jackdaw's The helmsman was very angry.

However, by this time the pirates had basically taken control of the Kent. As the handful of navy sailors in the weapons depot surrendered, only the captain's cabin remained.

Billy shouted outside, asking the people inside to surrender, but what he answered was a series of gunshots. Fortunately, the latter was not standing at the gate, but even so he was very annoyed. Zhang Heng arrived shortly afterwards.

"How is it going?"

"I originally planned to use up all their ammunition and rush in, but currently their firepower shows no sign of weakening." Billy said helplessly.

Zhang Hengchong waved behind him, and a young officer with an uneasy expression was escorted over, "Let him talk to you."

The latter swallowed his saliva, "When Captain Walden retreated to the second deck, he asked me to take twelve barrels of gunpowder to the captain's cabin. He said he was preparing for the worst."

Billy was shocked when he heard this, "Why does he need so much gunpowder?"

"Obviously, although he lost the battle, he did not intend to give this ship to us." Zhang Heng paused and continued.

"Walden should be waiting for us to gather all the men and break through before detonating the gunpowder. This will not only destroy the Kent, but also cause as much damage to us as possible. Give up and use all the men. Withdrew, only a few people were left outside the door to maintain pressure on the people inside, and the rest went to the bottom warehouse to transport supplies.

"Especially food and fresh water. After picking up the survivors on the island, these things will definitely become more tense. We can move as much as we can before the ship sinks. There are also cannonballs and gunpowder, which we are in urgent need of now. In a quarter of an hour, no matter whether the move is completed or not, everyone will return to the Jackdaw. In addition, let the gunners on the ship aim at the captain's cabin, and fire immediately after all our people have evacuated. Walden wants to fight with his battleship If we live or die together, then we will fulfill him."

The pirates strictly complied with Zhang Heng's order, and after a quarter of an hour, they all withdrew from the Jackdaw and unhooked the grappling hooks on the ship's side. As the two ships gradually moved away from each other, the iron cannons on the Jackdaw spewed out tongues of flame again. .

After the shell hit the captain's cabin, it caused a violent explosion. The Kent was directly blown into two pieces. As for Walden and the team of naval soldiers he led at the center of the explosion, there were no bones left.

However, regardless of the enemy's position, Zhang Heng still admires the former. The identities of both parties destined this to be a life-and-death battle. From Walden's perspective, his command of this battle was also very exciting, with almost no mistakes. What is wrong.

It's a pity that his understanding of Zhang Heng is not as deep as the latter's understanding of him.

Zhang Heng squeezed out almost all the information that could be squeezed out of Ford, and used this to formulate a corresponding battle plan, and finally won.

On the other hand, Walden did not expect to have another battle with the Jackdaw. Walden naturally did not study Zhang Heng in a targeted manner. On the other hand, his past battles to eliminate pirates brought him While gaining rich combat experience, it also made him conceited.

This also indirectly led to his failure and death.

…………

Although the battle was over, more things happened after that. Vincent continued to treat the wounded in the infirmary, and the carpenters headed by Guy were also rushing around to repair the cracks and holes in the reinforced ship. Dee Freina was counting the supplies and looking for ways to move the gold onto the ship, while Zhang Heng brought a batch of food and fresh water and landed on Parrot Island as soon as possible.

While the Jackdaw and Kent were fighting fiercely, Eric and Brooke also brought the surviving pirates to the beach. However, they did not have a ship, and the muskets in their hands could not reach such a long distance. They could only watch from the side. Watching from a distance, knowing that the Jackdaw had won the final victory, cheers erupted on the beach.

Zhang Heng thought that there might not be many survivors left on the island, but so few were a bit unexpected. On the way to distribute food and fresh water, he also heard the news that Black Prince Sam had died in the battle. The helmsman said, "Sorry, what are your plans next?"

The latter smiled bitterly, "I originally wanted to kill the Kent to avenge him. This was the only motivation for me to survive on the island, but I didn't expect that the ship would be taken care of by you so quickly. Fortunately, there are still others left. Six ships.”

"Well, strictly speaking, there should be five ships. The Miranda was also sunk by us a few days ago." Zhang Heng said.

"Thank you, everyone's survival this time depends entirely on Captain Zhang Heng and your Jackdaw. After returning to Nassau, I plan to find another ship to go to sea to avenge Sam. I want everyone involved in this matter to be punished." Everyone pays the price." Eric's eyes were burning with fire, "But I don't force everyone to follow me for revenge. The Vader sank. The most important thing is that Sam is not here. The Rebel Group is finished. The rest If possible, I hope Captain Zhang Heng can take them in."

"No problem. If you don't know what to do after you complete your revenge, you can come to me." Zhang Heng shook hands with the black helmsman in a friendly way.

There are less than twenty survivors left on the Vader, half of whom are willing to continue following Eric on his journey of revenge, and the remaining half want to join the Jackdaw.

They are all experienced old sailors, who are invaluable to every ship, and more importantly, the number of people is within Zhang Heng's acceptable range. With the current personnel composition of the Jackdaw, there is no need to worry about any unexpected situations, except for In addition, some people from the other two pirate ships also expressed their desire to join the Jackdaw. As for the Swordfish, because Captain Brooke is still there, no one plans to leave.
