Game Across the World

Vol 3 Chapter 282: Return to the battlefield

The remaining sailors on the    Rhinoceros Horn, after seeing their comrades being shot, slumped to give up resistance, because the navy's actions were completely different from what they had promised at the time.

"As long as you can tow our battleship, then you and your family will be pardoned. At the same time, every sailor who participated in the battle will receive 500 Spanish silver dollars, and 800 for the disabled after the war. There are 1,400 pensions and rewards for those who died!"

   This was the promise made by Behring and Rogers, but now, the continuous artillery fire is telling these sailors that the navy intends to fulfill their promise and wants to resolve everyone present!

"We must mobilize them. The ship's sides are damaged, the bottom tank is also seeping water, and the sails and masts at all levels are not complete. If so, we can't survive this storm!" Benjamin checked the ship's facilities slightly and wrinkled. Said with a frown.

   Shen Chen pondered slightly. He had just turned the rudder and had a certain understanding of the current ocean currents and winds. "Indeed, and the morale of the crew is low. To meet the storm like this, there is no chance at all."

  At this time, several sailors on the White Shark, seeing Benjamin, seemed to have the backbone, and immediately gathered around, "Mate, what shall we do now?"

   A sailor tentatively said: "Why don't we abandon the ship, this is so close to the coastline, although it is full of cliffs, but there must be places where the navy ambushes them!"

   "Fool, do you want to wait for the navy to turn around and kill us all?" another sailor retorted.

   "But on this ship, you will be waiting to die!"

Shen Chen also expressed his opinion: "We can sail along the coastline all the way to the area opposite to the navy. With my boating skills, I can try to ensure that the boat lasts as long as possible. If we can stay away from this area and find a piece of land, They can be safe. For the navy, their goal is Pal. When they return, they will not chase too far. What's more, if they see the wreckage of our ships after landing, I am afraid they will abandon our little ones. Trash fish'."

   It’s just that Shen Chen knew that there was another problem in his own idea, and that was how to leave the “landing” area again, so that he could only pin his hopes on the passing ships!

  After hearing Shen Chen's thoughts, the sailors nodded in agreement. For them, as long as they can live!

Benjamin held down the railing of the boat, folded his fingers slightly, and left a few deep marks on the wooden board. He could see that he was struggling, and then he said in a deep voice, "No, we need to go back and help Pal and White Shark!"

   "What!" Hearing Benjamin's words, everyone shouted out in surprise and anger.

   A sailor was stunned. He questioned: "Are you kidding? Or did the artillery fire just stun your calm and wise mind?"

   "He abandoned us and has to save him, at least I can't do it!"

   "Mate Benjamin, maybe this is the last time I call you that way. The moment White Shark cut the rope, we became enemies with them!"

  The gazes other sailors looked at Benjamin quickly changed from reverence to the chief mate to indifferent or even slightly hostile. How could they turn their heads and risk their lives to rescue the captain who abandoned them?

For pirates, betrayal and abandonment are actually commonplace. They are happy with their grievances. They rarely pay attention to interests and rules like the civilized world. If they are betrayed, they seldom analyze the reasons rationally. All the hatred was vented.

However, Shen Chen was able to understand Benjamin’s thoughts, because Benjamin was more like a navy than a pirate. For him, Captain Pal was the “benefactor” who led him on the road of pirates. Then he must make a thankful return.

   "So, Benjamin must be thinking about helping Pal one last time, and I don't have to owe it!" Shen Chen smiled bitterly, "but you probably didn't expect the crew's reaction!"

"Have you thought about it? According to your idea, hope is placed above the enemy and the weather." Benjamin became calm at this time. He said: "If Captain Pal is defeated soon, they will still be able to survive the storm. Before reaching the strongest time point, come back and find us!"

   "But this does not mean that we are going to challenge the navy!"

   "Yes, just such a broken ship, facing the enemy's battleship, we have no hope!" The pirates calmed down a bit. Benjamin's words made sense, but the enemy's strength was too strong.

Benjamin explained: "That's not necessarily. If the enemy is strong enough, there is no need to use such a strategy. I'm sure that the number of personnel on the two navy ships will not exceed 80. They need to capture Captain Pal alive. Our current strength is enough to reverse the entire battle!"

"Although I said that, I still won't go back!" Benjamin's words gave many crew members new hope. Indeed, if the navy can be defeated, whether it is to return to the White Shark or take a navy ship, Both can survive successfully, and the initiative is still in their own hands, but that is based on the rescue of Pal, not all sailors are willing to do this.

Shen Chen also quickly understood what Benjamin meant. The direction of the White Shark and the Navy happened to be in the middle of a storm. There, the ship’s artillery, speed, and flexibility would not be able to display at all. Although the Rhinoceros Horn was broken, it could only be completely Before the damage, enter the battle with the enemy, there will be no problems!

   However, if the sailors on the Rhinohorn can't work together, then Benjamin's good solution is nothing more than a mirror image.

"Maybe, we don't need to rescue the White Shark. Doesn't the Navy have two ships? We must be powerless for the larger one, but the schooner..." Shen Chen immediately thought of a compromise. Program.

   "A good way, more than 30 of us, just can drive her out of this ghost place!" Most of the sailors agreed with Shen Chen's opinion.

Benjamin didn’t hesitate too much. They captured the Haifeng schooner, which indirectly helped Pal and repaid Pal’s kindness. He said, “Shen Chen’s idea may be in this case. , The best way is, and I agree!"

   As for the other sailors, although they did not participate in the discussion, when Shen Chen announced the final decision, all the sailors renewed their courage and fighting spirit.

   Even the sailors of the original Rhinoceros Horn, under the ruthlessness of the navy and Benjamin's encouragement, also acted. The enemy who was still fighting just now ~www.ltnovel.com~ has now become a cooperative "partner"!

   "There is also a set of spare sails in the cabin, except that the top sail cannot be used because of the mast problem, and everything else can be ready before the storm!"

   "There is some remaining wood in the bottom tank, we can try to repair the leaking area!"

   "There are 4 spare artillery pieces in the cabin, plus 17 artillery pieces left over from the battle!"

   "There is plenty of gunpowder. We still have 18 muskets. It's time for the **** British Navy to taste our power!"

   The crew quickly entered their position, the Rhinohorn seemed to come alive all of a sudden, turned around, and swiftly chased after the White Shark escaped.

  ......

In the distance, a black cloud covered the entire sky. The strong sea breeze made the turbulence of the deck become violent. The surging ripples roared towards the Rhino Horn, and the splashing water sprayed the remaining on the deck. Blood, wash away.

   This is just the prelude of the storm. At the end of Rhinohorn’s line of sight, there are three sails of different colors on the turbulent waves. They are fighting desperately. The light of the fire is particularly conspicuous in the dark sea, clearly pointing out the direction for Shen Chen.

   The rain started suddenly and violently, and the storm arrived as expected. Although half of the sail was already under sail, the Rhinoceros Horn could be felt, dragged a distance to the side out of thin air, and the ship quickly fell to one side.

"Off the sail!" Shen Chen could not control the ship well in such strong winds. For fear that the Rhinoceros Horn would be blown away by the storm before reaching the battlefield, he had to take off most of the sails, and the speed of the ship changed again. Lowered a bit.

   "How do we get close to that schooner!" The watchman yelled, looming in the violent wind and rain. This is indeed a very serious problem.
