0306 Near abutment
The sound of artillery in the West completely broke the balance of the battle situation at the Baykou.
Asaros stared at the smoke rising faintly in the sky, his face as iron as iron.
His most trusted mate slid down from the lookout with a rope and trotted in front of him in a few steps.
"Deputy Commander, see clearly!"
"How about it?"
"Two five-level Galens are both wearing pirate flags with colorful skeletons. One standard type bombards the safe haven through the sandbank, and the other modified type is also bombarding, but the sailing yearns for the south, it seems that it is very likely to come to us!"
"Two five-level Galen..." Asaros's face became increasingly ugly, "Boy Drake, hide so deeply!"
The first mate took off his headscarf and wiped the sweat from his face.
"Deputy Commander, will we return to the rescue right away?"
"Return to help?" Asaros gritted his teeth, "The safe haven is the cage for trapped beasts. When the boy Drake closed the door, we were locked in the cage. What's the use of the beast in the cage, no matter how sharp the minions?"
"But at least you can bombard the shells outside the sandbank..."
"Press back and turn in. They are on the Atlantic Ocean, we are in the safe haven, and we are not as fast, flexible, and we are not as wiggle space as they are. Even if Bloody Mary is not there, we are not even able to dominate the firepower!"
"Boy Drake is making plans! Our port is small, and there are only a few berths that can avoid bombardment. We must need the ships in the priority regiment, which means that most merchants can only pray to God in the bombardment area."
"Boy Drake wanders around the Atlantic Ocean. When we drive him away, he retreats. When we retreat, he will force him. In a few days, the merchants at the sea will become his helper and beg him to help him kill us. We can't wait for the leader and the Bloody Mary to come back."
"That's not..." The first mate stood firm in depression, "But the deputy commander, the special level 5 is heading towards this. The entrance of the bay is small, and we are now crowding here..."
"The cage must be opened!" Asaros stared fiercely at the three-eyed crow like a turtle not far away, "You can transfer to the Black Goat immediately and take Rogriguez and Orlando back to the port to replenish the manpower."
"Holy Anne is responsible for opening the cage! To be more precise, I am responsible for opening the cage. When we are sent to the turtle, Holy Anne will also return to the port. This is the only way to hold the cage door in her hand..."
"As for you, you will find Lame Romi after you go back and tell him that I will hand over the entire remaining fleet to him."
"He has to do three things well! First, occupy the berth, stabilize the hearts of the people, and allocate the people on the boat and on the shore."
"Second, organize firepower to drive away the colorful pupil skeletons opposite the sandbank, even if it is only temporary, it must let the merchants take a breath."
"Third, stare at the entrance of the Bay." Asaros pulled out his sword with a clang, "Once the turtle opposite lowered the colorful pupil skeleton, immediately organize the fleet to clear obstacles and counterattack, and they cannot give them a chance to reinforce."
"yes!"
Not long after, the Three-eyed Crow came on.
Lorraine held the mast on the bottom-floor sail truss, leaping high from the cannonboard, while Leonard stood under him with a smile.
Leonard is not young anymore. Since he left the sailor class, he has neither good-looking nor consistent with his identity when he does things like climbing highs and lows.
This is an interesting contrast in itself.
Lorraine, who is firmly in class, has a higher status, but she does not need to worry about her behavior and image.
Although Leonard, who had just completed the class leap, has a lower status, but because of the class instability, he needs to always pay attention to the details that match his identity.
He looked up at Lorraine: "Captain, as you might expect, the sailors on Brig began to move towards Holy Anne. It seems that Holy Anne is planning to take the boarding himself."
Lorraine pulled the corner of her mouth disdainfully.
"The clever trap was originally reserved for smart people. If the opposite side was a cowardly and reckless man who fled when he saw the Golden Deer, wouldn't our preparations fall into nothing?"
"But didn't it save a lot of trouble?"
"It seems to save a lot of trouble, but it is passive to rely on the rebellion of merchants. Moreover, the only one who has appeared in the two destroyers of the Cotton Jack Pirates has been Holy Anne. With Cotton Jack VII himself in charge of the port, those smuggling merchants may not really dare to betray them."
Leonard sighed helplessly: "Captain, to speak, that cotton Jack is really calm."
"This is also my surprise..." Lorraine looked at the Black Goat and the Holy Anne in an orderly manner. "Realistically speaking, Cotton Jack should have come out to greet him when we were discovered. He has not appeared yet, so it is not happening to be in the safe haven..."
...
"All ships are shotguns, release them!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battlefield of Baykou was filled with smoke. More than twenty minutes after the personnel handover, at the moment when the Jindeer at the far end turned into the internal waters, Holy Anne officially launched a boarding contact on the Three-eyed Crow.
In naval battles, such as static to dynamic sides, are originally extremely rare, and their form is more like a snatching beach, but the attacking side's attacking surface is narrower, and of course the fire pressure faces is greater.
Fortunately, the Three-Eyed Crow's original defense was weak, and in order to stand firm, Lorraine almost gave up all the shipboard firepower.
Asaros didn't have to face the heavy shore cannon like a real beach rush, so he barely had the power to fight.
But the Holy Anne still struggled to march for a mere 300 meters.
The 2.5-meter side height difference can only destroy the remaining 4 nine-pound firepower of the Three-Eyed Crow within 50 meters. Before that, she could only dodge her best in the cramped Bay.
And this kind of dodge is actually almost futile.
The Holy Anne now has 330 sailors, of which at least 280 are on the deck.
The small deck is overcrowded, and the hit rate of the Three-Eyed Crow doesn't need to be very high. Just one shot shot can cause huge damage.
So Asaros was nervous when he marched. Every time the nine-pound cannon sounded, he gritted his teeth and shouted the name of God in his heart.
In the first round, four shots were shot in the air, and Holy Anne counterattacked with her bow cannon, but failed to produce obvious results.
In the second round, three shots were empty, and one shot swept the hull of Holy Anne. Because the bullet position was not high enough, it only broke the ankle of an unlucky pirate who was against the side, while Holy Anne's bow cannon was not loaded.
In the third round, Holy Anne started, and a solid projectile of the bow cannon hit the Three-Eyed Crow's gun, which directly folded the bracket of the gunboard at a distance of 120 meters, and the entire gunboard flew high.
This time it was finally Lorraine's turn to be shocked.
The two-meter-wide gap is a loophole in the overall defense system of the Three-Eyed Crow. If it cannot be blocked immediately, the sailors on the ship will pay a huge price.
The carpenter team, who had been on standby for a long time, rushed out of the cabin. More than 20 people cooperated with the wounded who could still move and dragged dozens of bags of sand from the cabin by carrying and pushing each other, stacking them layer by layer to the same height as the cannonboard.
They used gun cars and broken pillars as brackets, temporarily setting up ugly but effective support behind the sand, blocking Holy Anne's struck another direct strike like a shit in the fourth round of cannons.
Good luck on the battlefield will always rise and fall here.
Also in the fourth round of artillery attacks, Leonard, who had no results in three consecutive rounds, finally had good luck and sent the second position shotgun high onto Holy Anne's main deck like a storm, causing at least 40 pirates to be killed or killed.
The three-eyed crow's cannon gate failed.
Lorraine did not wait stiffly for Holy Anne to enter the 50-meter shelling invalid line, and immediately ordered as soon as the fourth round of shelling ended.
"Carpenters, the wounded moved all the gunpowder and ammunition out of the cabin and blocked the cabin door! The musket team began to counterattack, maintaining the maximum fire density, and keeping the gunshots inexhaustible, and trying their best to kill and injure!"
The deck began to make final preparations for the next boarding. Amid the dense gunfire, the Holy Anne made the last round of bow gun shooting at a close distance of less than 30 meters.
Four shells hit the side of the three-eyed crow without any fancy. The huge impact caused the hull to shake violently, the sailors were shaken away, the sand bag was shattered, and the port side hull was shattered. Asaros saw for the first time Lorraine's preparations for this battle.
"Damn Drake..." He took a deep breath, "Prepare to board the board! Grab the deck! Don't give the musket a chance to shoot!"
boom!
The dull collision sound came from the bow, and Asaros heard his storm captain screaming.
"The first team, board the ship!"
Chapter completed!
