The sight of the sight glass was completely dark, towns, buildings, piers, ships... everything was hidden in the blackness of midnight, and the boundary between the sea and the sky could not be discerned.

"In the clouded sky, the towns under the city...Hey, I didn't find them so suitable before."

Lorraine mumbled and put down the sight glass, beckoned, and summoned Acharin who had arranged the deck artillery.

"Is the firepower installed?"

"The starboard upper layer guns have been strengthened to the port side. There are 10 18-pounder guns and 12 twelve-pounder guns. It’s just that the ship’s counterweight is somewhat insufficient. Considering the center of gravity, I suggest that the bow and aft guns be removed, or The upper cannon was reduced to 8."

"Only withdraw the stern gun." Lorraine thought for a moment. "The shot and chain bullets that are not needed can also be adjusted to the bottom compartment to ensure the center of gravity."

"In this way, the maneuverability of the ship cannot be guaranteed." Yacharin said worriedly.

"Ensure that the mobile warfare capability can be restored within an hour, and the firepower configuration of the Lucky Horseshoe will not be changed, so that she will be the final line of defense for the Golden Deer."

"Understood." Acharin should shout and ran to send the order, and then turned back again, "Captain, even if time is tight, the admiral will be too difficult for the admiral to make the battle plan to achieve the combat goal overnight."

Lorraine tilted his head blankly: "How long do you want?"

"The Family Glory is watching the wind outside the bay, and there has been no signal to return. This shows that the defense fleet has not yet challenged it? In this case, wouldn't it be better to prepare for one more day?"

"This kind of procrastination is meaningless." Lorraine closed his eyes. "Le Robert will not run. Today and tomorrow, the situation on the dock will not change much. This means that we can choose so many methods of warfare. It’s the same if you drag it until tomorrow."

"But the visibility tonight..."

"You can start with extended shooting. Once the town burns up, visibility is guaranteed."

Lorraine stretched out his hand to feel the sea breeze.

"Acharin, it's getting colder, and there will probably be rain tomorrow, so the shelling should be as early as possible."

"I know that rain will affect the spread of the fire." Acharin sighed. "It's just that as a Frenchman, this plan is really unpleasant..."

...

Henna was wearing a pure black overall, like an elf in the night sky jumping from the wall, landing silently.

Immediately after her, Noah, Pierce, and the carefully selected Golden Deer stormtroopers showed their figures from the night.

Henna raised her hand and made a silent gesture.

"Noya, time."

"1:06 in the morning."

"Time should be too late..."

Henna took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to compare the scenes observed at dusk.

The wall that I just turned over should belong to a private warehouse near the bay. The roof, wall and other details are all within sight.

Fifty meters south of this warehouse is the No. 1 Fortress marked by Lorraine, and then 320 meters later, it is the No. 2 Fortress located deeper into the bay.

These two gun emplacements are relics from the early development of Martinique. At that time, they were designed to resist rampant pirates. Therefore, the dilemma of large-angle shooting with naval guns was considered early on.

The spherical semi-enclosed cladding is 270 degrees wide. The whole body is built with bluestone and covered with cork. The shape resembles the dome of the observatory of later generations. It has an extraordinary defense against the sea.

With the firepower of the Golden Deer, it is impossible to penetrate this level of composite barrier. If you want to successfully bombard the pier, dispatching a stormtrooper to sneak into the rumbling Le Robert, and removing the fort from the land became the only option.

So from the beginning of the night, Henna took the selected combatants to the shore 40 kilometers south of the town in small boats, and walked along the coast for five hours, bypassing three tight defense lines composed of militias. Successfully arrived near the fort. Eighth Book Bank

"Confirm the location." Hina opened her eyes, "Noya, according to Lorraine's plan, I will take ten people to Fort No. 2, and you and Pierce will destroy Fort No. 1 with the remaining thirty people."

Noya touched her well-behaved white ears and nodded solemnly: "Sister Henna, are there too few people in your place? I heard that those cannons are very old, each weighing three tons."

"I'm not good at cooperating with sailors. There are too many people to waste." Hina shook her head. "In the middle of the two forts is the temporary barracks of the militia. It is estimated that there are more than two hundred people stationed. It will be very difficult to deal with the situation."

"I know."

"That's it. Give me fifteen minutes to exercise, and the attack will begin after fifteen minutes."

"good."

In this way, it's not like the pre-war conference, which ended so simply and neatly.

Henna led the ten capable team members assigned to her to flew towards the second turret in the dark, constantly rehearsing what Lorraine had said before setting off in her mind.

"Henna, in fact, neither you nor Noya are suitable for commanding the stormtroopers. Pierce may be able to do so in another five years, but at this stage it is just an excellent shooter."

"But there is no way. I have to stay on the ship to deal with the accident this time. Bell has to command the lucky horseshoe to protect the Golden Deer thoroughly. Acharin has to control the entire line of bombardment. Wang Ye and Karen are both left in New Orleans by me. , The only two of you who have both power and prestige on the ship..."

"In short, be careful, don't force it, give up decisively when it's time to give up, your actions are not that important."

"Remember, it's just two turrets that should be sent to the museum. Even if it's not finished, I'm sure to blast the entire pier."

"One hundred percent sure, you can rest assured..."

Just rest assured...

Just rest assured!

Henna stopped abruptly, and the team members who were chasing behind couldn't brake in time. They covered their mouths and rolled in a ball. Although they looked a little embarrassed, they didn't make any strange noises.

"Hide yourself all away." She said to the ground. "If someone accidentally leaks Xingzang before I kill all the people in the turret... Self-decision, that's the simplest way to die."

The Gulu gourds bared their teeth and nodded again and again. They felt Hina's murderous gaze, and they hurriedly got up, looking for secrets to get tired of their bodies.

When no one can be seen everywhere, Henna leaned over and took off her wide coat, then took off her tight boots, carefully stacked them in a dull corner, and then landed on all fours, like a cat. Jumped onto the smooth and towering lone face of the fort.

The stormtroopers hiding in the dark stared at the inhumane scene with stunned eyes. The slender Henna leaped on the dome, her limbs widened, and her upper body leaning forward.

Her elbows and knees maintain a huge angle ~lightnovelpub.net~ her neck is raised high and her eyes are straight ahead.

But her body clearly did not touch the curved stone wall, her chest, abdomen, thighs, and chin were all kept at a subtle angle to the curved surface, and her body was glued to a nearly vertical surface with only curved fingertips and toes. Not moving.

In just a moment, sweat leaked from her forehead.

She was gasping, her breath longer and longer.

Obviously he is not good at lying to his companions...

It's clumsy...

In short, I will not let you down...

Me, Noah, Pierce...

Wherever the point of your sword is pointed, even the head of the Lord will be taken for you.

Don't worry, Lorraine.
