Since the captain has spoken, the crew members are also looking forward to the first robbery after the Poseidon goes to sea.

After setting up an anchor, the Poseidon set sail and followed the traces left by the merchant ship to break through the waves.

Of course, the route they are on is a popular route from Kingston to Havana, and there are quite a few passing ships.

In order to avoid being discovered and disturbed by other pirates or warships in the middle of the robbery, you must wait for the right time.

Therefore, at the suggestion of O'Neal, the Poseidon did not take action rashly, but followed along and slowly narrowed the distance with the merchant ship.

In this era, except for a few famous pirates, most pirates would hang flags from countries such as West, Britain and France, and look no different from ordinary merchant ships.

Apart from being faster, the armed forces will definitely not look as swaying as warships.

Then, after some fjords and promontory that are convenient to hide, the ship is close enough to the prey, the black pirate flag will be raised, revealing its hideous fangs, and caught the target off guard!

These are the teaching contents given to Rorschach by O'Neal on the spot.

In order to make this rookie captain familiar with the pirate's plundering mode as soon as possible, he really did his best...

As the blue waves surged, with the speed of the Poseidon, it quickly drove side by side with the target, only about forty or fifty meters apart.

The sloop schooner full of cargo and with the flag of the East India Company was also bewildered by the flag of the Poseidon, thinking that they were frigates specially designed by the British to protect the safety of the route.

At this time, the lookout, who had already climbed up to the height of the mast, suddenly blew a sharp whistle.

This is a signal that you can do it, which means there are no other ships in the nearby waters!

Hearing the whistle, Rorschach and O'Neal looked at each other and then shouted:

"Everyone, be prepared,"

Unlike the game, the real naval battles in this era are still dominated by artillery as well as auxiliary battles of the boarding battles.

First use artillery bombardment to strike enemy ships, forcing them to lose their mobility and even stop the ship, and then forcibly board the ship for on-board war.

Therefore, even if the manpower is seriously insufficient, Rorschach arranged twelve people, two of them in a group, operating the six side-rotating cannons on the right side of the deck.

"Open fire!"

With Rorschach's order, the pirates standing in front of the six side-spin cannons responded loudly and then lit the cannon's fuse.

Bang bang bang bang!

Six side-rotating cannons were fired one after another.

Accompanied by the burst of smoke and the rich smell of gunpowder, six chain bombs shot out and hit the merchant ship that was close to him.

However, the target of the chain bullet is not the ship, but the sail cable on the ship.

Like meteors passing through the air, the sails were cut off, and by the way, it also caused certain damage to the people on the ship.

Without sail ropes to control the sails, the merchant ship would be unable to move and could only become fish that could be slaughtered.

It was not until the sound of gunfire sounded in my ears that everyone on the merchant ship realized a very serious problem:

They met pirates!

However, it was too late...

...

The chain bullet that flew past cut off several sailors on the deck in half like a sharp guillotine.

On the deck, blood splattered and limbs flew across.

Only one sailor with his upper body was left, lying on the ground, looking up at his lower body, still standing there, his face full of horror.

Wailings and shouts come one after another.

Even though the merchant ship realized it and planned to fight back, the chaotic situation on the ship made the merchant ship's reaction slower than half a beat.

Before they could load the shells, a new round of offensive by the Poseidon was coming:

"Open fire!"

Bang bang bang bang!

This time, what was shot out was no longer a chain bullet, but a heavy round bullet!

Splash of wood chips, cracked hull

Among them, I don’t know which lucky one was aiming at the bottom of the hull and hit the cabin where the gunpowder was stored.

Only a loud "bang" sound was heard, and a sudden explosion occurred under the hull of the merchant ship.

Several cannons and sailors on the deck were instantly blown out.

The orange flame suddenly dyed half of the hull, adding a bit of cruelty to the sudden robbery.

Seeing this, the pirates of the Poseidon couldn't help but cheer.

Due to the heavy losses facing the deck on the side of the Poseidon, the merchant ship tried to turn and used artillery on the other side to fight back against the Poseidon.

However, the heavy cargo on the ship and the broken sail cables made the entire merchant ship turn like an old lady and extremely slow.

Until this moment, Rorschach in front of the rudder suddenly pulled out the officer's light sword at his waist and waved forward:

"People, get ready to board the ship!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pirates of the Poseidon, led by the sailor O'Neal, responded in unison:

"roar!"

Then they pulled out the weapons and pistols from their waists, moved out the boarding hook, and threw the rope hook towards the merchant ship that was close to them.

"Aihuo...Aihuo..."

Under the joint pull of the pirates, the Poseidon slowly approached the merchant ship until the distance was enough. The long wooden boards prepared were set up between the two ships.

Even if the hull of the merchant ship beside the long wooden board is burning with flames, it cannot stop the pirates' desire and greed to plunder wealth.

The pirates with claws rushed onto the merchant ship through the long wooden boards.

The entire merchant ship's hull was slightly tilted to the side where it was landed.

Compared with the fierce and cruel faces of the pirates, the sailors on the merchant ship had a look of fear and panic.

In an instant, a fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out between the two sides.

The air was filled with pungent smell of gunpowder, and the smell of blood was vaguely audible.

The sound of the flintlock pistol and the sound of the scimitar attacks played a singular song of the sea together.

At this moment, it has nothing to do with justice, nothing to do with good and evil. Both sides fighting are fighting for their own interests!

Among them, O'Neal, who was in the lead, was like a furious brown bear, holding a pirate scimitar and splattered blood on the deck of the merchant ship.

It was not until this time that Rorschach finally understood why the taciturn little O'Neal became a sailor.

There is nothing else, it’s a lot of people!

Rorschach watched him wave his scimitar in his hand and cut the head of a gun sailor in half along with his triangle cap.

Under the leadership of O'Neal, the morale of the pirates was greatly boosted, and they all seemed to be injected with chicken blood.

This battle of the boarding battle lasted less than a minute and came to an end.

When Rorschach boarded the merchant ship, all the crew members on the ship had already lost their weapons and all knelt on their knees.

The smell of gunpowder that has not yet dissipated is mixed with the smell of blood, constantly impacting their psychological defense.

They held their heads in their hands, surrendered, and looked at the yellow-skinned and dark-haired young man with their terrified eyes, quietly waiting for the judgment of fate...
