0304 A game of seagulls and turtles

What kind of monster is opposite...

On the Holy Anne, Asaros, the deputy commander of the Cotton Jack Pirates, covered his mouth and looked confused.

The strange-looking ship is now in the middle of the bay entrance, crossing the water surface about three hundred meters away from him. It has a deep draft, and its actual freeboard is half a meter shorter than Brig.

Judging from the ship type and mast, she should be a commercial Bermuda Brigentinian type.

As a new design that has only become popular in recent years, Asaros has never driven such a ship by himself, and the Cotton Jack Pirates has not actually edited it.

But judging from the reputation of peers, the characteristics of this kind of ship should be fast and flexible, just like a docile rabbit, and there is no need to expect performance on the battlefield.

But the ship in front of me is obviously different...

There were no sails on the bare mast, and the floating cables were not under force. She stopped in the middle of the channel, and the illegal building more than two meters high was wrapped in iron, covering the deck tightly. Even a fifth-class ship like Holy Anne could not gain the advantage of side height.

And she is too strong.

Asaros watched with his own eyes a solid bullet of eighteen pounds hit the hull, and it was embedded on it without breaking through or igniting...

She was obviously reinforced.

It is not reinforcement in the general sense, but for reinforcement, as if the entire ship is solid.

What exactly is the plan to create such a monster on the other side?

Asaros looked at the colorful skull flag floating on the mast tip, turned his head and looked at the smoke pillar soaring into the sky at the top of the Beidao Mountain.

Is that Drake boy planning to attack from land?

The North Island is full of cliffs and mail towers, rocks and dangerous slopes. How many people can he send up, and at what time will he launch an attack?

Thinking of this, he called the third deputy.

"Send two people to inform the port to be fully alerted to the attacks on the land direction. Tonight... except tonight, Drake boy has no second chance."

"We can't wait foolishly. Holy Anne and Black Goats are still bombarding, and Rodriguez and Orlando are ready to join the deck. Since we can't fight, we will teach the young master how the pirates fight!"

...

Squatting on the high sail truss, Lorraine saw two nearby Brigentina ships put away the gun doors, and controlled the sails to carefully straighten the bow.

Another round of saturated shelling, Brig and the fifth-class ships in the distance were getting more and more accurate. With just two ships, they caused three direct attacks and two bruises.

But the sailors on the ship had relaxed, and some musketeers even climbed at the shooting port to start a test shot.

It’s a pity that fifty meters are still beyond their ability. The gunshots are covered in the continuous sound of cannons, and even discerning is a luxury.

Lorraine pulled the cable and jumped down, pulled out the long knife with a clang, and carried it on her shoulder.

Leonard quickly pulled him behind the cannonboard and shouted loudly in the sound of the cannon.

"Captain! Are they ready to take the board?"

Lorraine laughed and cried and pulled open a itchy musketman and pointed to the shooting window.

"You are the captain of the Three-Eyed Crow, Old Leonard, don't rely on the lookout table."

Leonard looked up with red eyes, and a loud bang of cannons was shaking. He was blown away by the whole body, fell to the ground, gritting his teeth and shouting loudly.

"The entire ship shotgun! The target is close to twenty meters!"

"Is it possible for someone to replace the fool on the watchtower? Do he think he is watching the show?"

"And Bato! Bato! Bato! Bato! Get your people ready, load the musket, and bayonets! The first wave of the boarding is coming!"

boom!

A deep and muffled impact, which was completely different from the shelling, sounded on the outside of the baffle plate, followed by a large number of hook ropes thrown in the air, hooking the edge of the baffle plate.

Through the thick semi-enclosed barrier, Lorraine heard the chaotic and disorderly shouts.

Barto pulled a sailor away and took out a spear at the shooting port, bang!

A scream came to an abrupt end.

He threw away the gun coldly: "Those idiots are gathering on the side of the ship, shooting, shooting! Let them taste the smell of bullets and rain!"

The impatient gunmen who had been waiting long ago poked out the gun.

The standard crew of the Three-Eyed Crow is 100. This time it has been strengthened to 170, 20 are responsible for artillery operation, 40 are responsible for carpentry, 10 are responsible for contact, observation and other chores, and the rest are all fighters.

Each of the 100 fighting personnel is equipped with a double gun with a long gun, a bayonet, and their own favorite swords, swords and axes.

In contrast, the gunboard covering the entire freeboard has a total of 30 shooting ports, one per meter on average. When shooting, three people are in groups, one person shoots, one person loads, and one person prepares for battle. Although it is not intentional, it is similar to the three-stage shooting rounds of Oda Nobunaga's entire Warring States Period.

The continuous gunfire began to sound.

After the sideways, the side of the three-eyed crows was only two to three meters from the bows of the two Brigentine ships, with a height difference of about half a meter. As long as the muzzle was slightly raised, the sailors could send lead bullets into the dense crowd.

The pirate ship was overturned for a moment.

Those who were shot in the stomach, those who were penetrated by their hands and feet, and those who were beaten to their heads...

The three-stage shooting made the bullets on the Three-Eyed Crow dense and long. The pirates who were preparing to jump the buzzer were unavoidable and fell into the clear sea like cut wheat.

However, their counterattack could not achieve the same power. Even though both sides were close, the small shooting port made too high demands to the pirates. In the panic battle situation, they could not pose a real threat to the three-eyed crow.

But they have more people after all!

After the panic, the pirates pushed and leaped through the gap like fleeing famine, stomped onto the wide eaves of the cannonboard. Before they could stand firm, they climbed desperately towards the exposed unmanned deck.

"I don't like someone on top of my head..." Lorraine muttered, took the long spear of the sailor beside her and stabbed it in the crack of the knife reserved above her head.

With a sound of puff, the familiar sharp blade entered the flesh and the salty blood passed down from the gap. Lorraine abandoned the gun and swung her long sword towards the enemy who had stepped on the deck.

"kill!"

The unsurprisingly, the boarding was only carried out for less than thirty minutes, and the two Brigentinas staggered back.

Lorraine wiped a corpse with a long knife and put it in the sheath.

He didn't know how many corpses the pirates had dropped, one hundred and fifty or two hundred?

He only knew that there must be not many people left on those two ships.

These gunbars are specially designed for the ground shape of Bimini Island, with mechanisms everywhere and traps all over the body.

As long as the sixth-class ship dares to board the board, Lorraine can get the most damage at the lowest price. No pirate who climbed the three-eyed crow can go back. Her deck, which looks empty, is itself a part of the trap.

The practical effect is perfect.

Lorraine kicked the body of the knife cloth.

"Open a cannonboard and throw away all the excess bodies." He smiled. "Gentlemen, clear the deck faster, because as soon as Brigentina retreats, the cannon will definitely ring again."

"This is a game of seagulls and turtles... hurry up and irritate them."
