Bow of the San Carlos, upper deck of the forecastle
In the military theory taught by the military academy, the side to side battle is regarded as three independent and interrelated hand to hand combat battlefields only on the ship surface.
These three battlefields are the main deck occupying at least half of the surface area of the ship, which often contains the upper deck of the stern building full of command center and the upper deck of the forecastle close to the main deck.
The main reason for this distinction is the height difference.
According to the architectural standards of seagoing ships in this era, the forecastle is often one to two floors higher than the main deck, and the poop is two to three floors higher. Even if the elevation of each floor is 2m, the height difference between the main deck and the upper deck is far beyond the reach of the sword.
But each of the three battlefields has its own weight.
Generally speaking, the main deck is the core battlefield, which has invested the largest amount of human resources on both sides.
The poop is the headquarters. Although its tortuous and narrow channel path is actually not suitable for attack and defense, it is the winner and loser, which is worthy of the most elite special attack force from both sides.
In contrast, the importance of the upper deck of the forecastle is very limited.
Its size is often only one sixth of the ship''s surface, and its structure is relatively slender. The main facilities generally include bowsprit, cable pile and anchor winch. The hatch connecting to the interior of the forecastle is not installed here, but on the bulkhead connected with the main deck.
It can be seen that once the battle reaches the side, the gains and losses of the forecastle deck are actually irrelevant. In conventional tactics, the general defender will place a team of long-range firepower by relying on the terrain here, and the attacker will contain it according to the number of defenders, that''s all.
Today, I don''t know what evil wind blew. Lorraine chose his battlefield here. Blackbeard accepted the challenge with emotion and stood opposite Lorraine with the cooperation of four elite pirates.
Wang to Wang''s situation took shape without obstacles, but the two sides did not mean to rush to war. They leaned against the fence and looked at the war situation at their feet, and could gossip from time to time.
On the main deck, chamuyam took the initiative for a while.
He seems to have caught some of Leff''s judgment principles, skillfully sold a flaw to lure Leff to jump into the attack, then easily dodged, raised his hand and threw his spear in the process of flying back.
The spear broke through the air, rubbed Lev''s thigh and made a huge blood cut on the outside of his leg.
Leif could not feel the pain of his body, but the injured muscles could no longer act as quickly as when they were intact. Chamuyam counterattacked with axes in both hands, chopping and chopping like iron. For a moment, he pressed the war machine behind the shield.
Lorraine tut tut said, "Your Highness, you Indian warrior..."
"Chamuyam, he is an obsidian blade warrior of the Aztec remnant. He is similar to our temple knight. He is a soldier selected by thousands to guard the feather snake temple."
"Can you turn to a Templar to kill people and steal goods for you?"
"Aborigines." black beard Zilang smiled twice. "Their beliefs are different from God. Even the Templars don''t have to follow the eight rules of knights. What''s more, the Spanish have demolished the temple of tenochtit department. Although they insist on selecting Obsidian blade Knights like their ancestors, the Knights have long lost the gods they guard."
"I see." Lorraine suddenly realized.
Blackbeard looked at Lorraine with interest: "it''s you, young man, aren''t you an ordinary Navy? I really can''t imagine how a young Spanish officer can get the loyalty of Viking crazy soldiers."
"Probably because of God''s favor?"
"You don''t want to say?" Blackbeard raised his eyebrow. "It doesn''t matter. No matter what your identity is, my goal is not you. As long as... You are willing to hand over the horse."
I don''t know if it''s an illusion. Lorraine feels that Blackbeard today seems to be much better than a few days ago.
The problem was that he risked his life to launch the side battle and took such a huge risk. If it was just for negotiation, Blackbeard would take his life too low.
Lorraine was puzzled.
"Your Highness, are you still here for..."
"I just killed Gonzalo de Oviedo, raided his study and bedroom, threatened his mistress, opened the secret room, and found nothing. The explosion made Antonio de torresias die in the bunker. After the explosion, I called the commander''s residence empty, turned it upside down and found two dark rooms, but I still couldn''t do it."
"This means that if torresias didn''t take my things with him, it must be on Mara."
"But not in his villa. Neither the bedroom I explored last time nor the study I failed to explore last time. Where will you find that thing?"
Lorraine chuckled, "you mean, what you want is in major Mara''s luggage, even... On him?"
"I didn''t imply anything. I just asked you to hand over the horse. I''ll judge whether it''s on him or not in my own way."
"It seems that this is the ultimatum."
"It''s really an ultimatum. Hand over Mara, or I''ll kill the whole ship and take Mara away myself."
Lorraine was silent, silent for a moment, and finally couldn''t help smiling.
"You can''t only kill the people on board." Lorraine pointed to the battle situation on the main deck. "Look, the crazy soldier is not stupid, but his reaction is slower. He has begun to fight back."
Lev began to fight back.
In fact, rather than finding a way to crack chamuyam, he adapted to his injured leg and pushed chamuyam''s axe with brute force.
Lorraine experienced the difficulties of crazy soldiers.
Not afraid of pain, not afraid of death, no fear, no thinking, he went straight with great strength. He seemed stupid and predictable, but in fact, he didn''t leave room for his opponent to play tricks at all.
You can come all the way, I can only go all the way.
With a shield on his head, Lev shook open the axe, kicked his uninjured left leg, threw himself askew in front of chamuyam and swept with his sword.
Chamuyam can only take back his axe to resist, but can he resist the attack of crazy soldiers so easily?
Li Feng is coming!
Just listen to the jingle of fine iron, the seemingly slender Viking sword suddenly spread unparalleled power, and unexpectedly pressed the axe blade to split chamuyam off the ground.
The ground is the center of gravity and foundation of soldiers.
With his feet off the ground, chamuyam suddenly lost his fulcrum of power, and the whole man flew obliquely with the swing, banging heavily on the main mast.
He opened his mouth and vomited blood. As he vomited blood, he got up. The shaky and embarrassed figure took two steps. Leff jumped over again and stabbed him where he had lying down.
Chamuyam turned back and swung his axe.
He used all his strength to fight back, but he was still easily blocked by Lev with a shield.
"You can''t break my shield... You can''t break my shield!"
Leff howled and rushed with his shield. Chamoyam was temporarily stiff after doing his best. He could only watch the cold light on Leff''s hand flicker and stab at his heart.
Boom!
Leff''s sword almost pierced chamoyam''s chest, but at the moment of touching, two pirates flew over the sailors'' regiment, barely knocked Leff away with their whole body, and let the blade of the uncrowned king wipe chamoyam''s shoulder and pierce the air.
Blood spatter!
The empty sword still left a deep bone wound on chamoyam''s shoulder. Blood gushed out like a spring. Chamoyam covered the wound and screamed.
At the right moment, there was a sudden sound in Lorraine''s ear.
"Have you seen enough? Young man." Blackbeard leaned the black blade on the ground with boredom, and his face was only bloodthirsty and ferocious. "Since you want to die faithfully for Mara, I can help you..."
