Reborn As a Pirate

v2 Chapter 306: Near abutting side

The sound of Western artillery completely broke the balance of the Gulf Port battle.

Asaros stared blankly at the smoke of gunpowder rising from the horizon, his expression like iron.

His most trusted chief mate slid down the observation deck with a rope, and ran to him in a few steps.

"Deputy commander, see clearly!"

"How about it?"

"The two fifth-class gallons, both with the pirate flag of colorful pupils, bombarded the safe haven across the sandbank, and the other modified version was also bombarded, but heading south, it looks like it’s very likely. Come to us!"

"Two fifth-class galen..." Asaros's face became more and more ugly, "Drake kid, hide so deep!"

The first officer took off his turban and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Deputy Commander, shall we return to help immediately?"

"Return to help?" Asaros gritted his teeth, "A haven is the cage of trapped beasts. Drake kid closed the door and we were locked in the cage. What good is the sharp claws of the beasts in the cage?"

"But at least the shelling outside the sandbar can be suppressed..."

"Press back and turn in. They are in the Atlantic Ocean. We are in a safe haven. Their speed, flexibility, and maneuvering space are not as good as them. Even if the Bloody Mary is not there, we are not even superior in firepower!"

"Boy Drake is doing calculations! Our port is small, so there are only a few berths that can avoid shelling. We definitely need to give priority to the ships in the regiment. This means that most businessmen can only pray to God in the shelling area."

"Kid Drake is wandering in the Atlantic Ocean. When we rush, he retreats, and we retreat, and he pushes. In a few days, the merchant on the sea will become his support arm, begging him to help him drive us away. . We can't wait for the captain and the Bloody Mary to return."

"That's not..." The first officer stood still with repression and horror. "But the deputy commander, that special modified fifth-level ship is heading here. The bay is narrow, and we are crowded here now..."

"The cage must be opened!" Asaros stared fiercely at the tortoise-like three-eyed crow not far away, "You immediately transfer to the Black Goat, and take Rogers and Orlando back to Hong Kong to replenish manpower."

"Holy Anne is responsible for opening the cage! More precisely, I am responsible for opening the cage. When we are sent to the tortoise, holy Anne will also return to Hong Kong. This is the only way to hold the cage door in her hand... "

"As for you, you need to find Lame Romi when you go back and tell him that I will give him the entire fleet left behind."

"He has to do three things! First, occupy the berth, stabilize people's hearts, and allocate manpower on board and on shore."

"Secondly, organize firepower to drive away the colored pupils and skeletons on the opposite side of the sandbar, even if it is only temporarily, it has to make the merchants breathe."

"Third, stare at the mouth of the death bay." Asaros drew his sword with a sound, "Once the tortoise on the opposite side lowers the colored pupil skeleton, immediately organize the fleet to clear the obstacles and counterattack, and they can't give them a chance to reinforce."

"Yes!"

After a while, the Three-Eyed Raven boarded.

Lorraine was holding the mast on the bottom of the sail, his vision jumped out of the baffle, while Leonard was standing under him with a smile.

Leonard is not young anymore. Ever since he left the sailor class, doing things like climbing high and low is neither good-looking nor in line with his status.

This in itself is an interesting comparison.

Lorraine, who is firmly in the class, has a higher status, but he does not need to worry about his behavior and image.

Although Leonard, who has just completed the class jump, has a lower status, it is precisely because of the unstable class that he needs to pay attention to the details of his identity from time to time.

He raised his head and looked at Lorraine: "Captain, as you might expect, the sailors on Brig began to transfer to Holy Anne. It seems that Holy Anne is planning to take the ship herself."

Lorraine twitched the corners of his mouth disdainfully.

"Smart traps were originally reserved for smart people. If the opposite is a cowardly man, who sees the Golden Deer returning and flees, wouldn't our preparations fall to empty places?"

"But didn't it save a lot of trouble?"

"It seems to have saved a lot of trouble, but it is passive to rely on the merchants to resist the water. Moreover, the two destroyers of the Cotton Jack Pirates, only Holy Anne has appeared so far. There is Cotton Jack VII sitting in the port himself, and the smuggling merchants are also I don’t necessarily dare to betray it."

Leonard sighed helplessly: "Captain, speaking of it, that cotton Jack is really calm."

"This is also where I was surprised..." Lorraine looked not far away, and the Black Goat and the Holy Anne were handed over in an orderly manner. "It stands to reason that Cotton Jack should have come out to greet us personally when we were discovered. It hasn't appeared until now, it doesn't happen to be in a safe haven..."

...

"The whole ship's shotgun, let go!"

boom! boom! boom! boom!

The battlefield of Baykou was filled with smoke. More than twenty minutes after the handover of personnel, at the moment when the far-end Golden Deer turned into the inner waters, Saint Anne formally initiated a connection to the Three-Eyed Crow.

In naval battles, it seems that this kind of static-to-movement connection is extremely rare, and its form is more like beach grabbing, but the offensive surface of the attacker is narrower, and the firepower pressure it faces is of course greater.

Fortunately, the original defense of the Three-Eyed Raven was weak. In order to stand up, Lorraine almost gave up all the shipboard firepower.

Asalus didn't have to face heavy shore artillery like a real beach rush, and he barely had the power of a battle.

But at a distance of only 300 meters, the Holy Anne still travelled in miserable conditions.

The 2.5-meter height difference can only abolish the remaining four nine-pound firepower of the Three-Eyed Raven within 50 meters. Before that, she could only do her best in the cramped bay mouth.

In fact, this evasion is almost futile.

The Holy Anne now has 330 sailors, of whom at least 280 are on deck.

The small deck is overcrowded, and the hit rate of the Three-Eyed Raven doesn't need to be high. Just a direct shot from a shot can cause huge damage.

So Asaros marched with trepidation. Every nine-pound cannon, he gritted his teeth and shouted the name of God in his heart.

In the first round, with four shots in the air, Holy Anne counterattacked with a bow cannon, which failed to produce obvious results.

In the second round, three shots hit the air, and one shot hit Saint Anne’s hull. Because the impact position was not high enough, it only interrupted the ankle of a hapless pirate who was on the side, while Saint Anne’s bow gun was not fully loaded. .

In the third round, Saint Anne made the first round. A solid projectile from the bow directly hit the three-eyed Raven’s baffle. The bracket of the baffle was directly crushed at a distance of 120 meters, and the whole baffle 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 Raven. If it cannot be blocked immediately, the sailors on the ship will pay a huge price.

The woodworking team, which had been on standby for a long time, rushed out of the cabin. More than 20 people cooperated with the wounded who were still able to move and dragged dozens of bags of sandbags out of the cabin by carrying and pushing them. The gunboard is all high.

They used artillery carts and broken pillars as supports to temporarily set up an ugly but effective support behind the sandbags. In the fourth round of shelling, they abruptly blocked Saint Anne's direct hit like shit.

Good fortune on the battlefield will always ebb and flow.

Also in the fourth round of shelling, Leonard, who had no gain for three consecutive rounds, finally had a good luck. At a distance of 70 meters, he sent the second shotgun to the main deck of Holy Anne, like a storm. Similarly, at least 40 pirates were killed or injured.

The artillery of the Three-Eyed Crow ceased.

Lorraine did not wait rigidly for Holy Anne to enter the 50-meter bombing nullification line~lightnovelpub.net~ and immediately ordered as soon as the fourth round of shelling ended.

"The woodworkers and the wounded moved all the gunpowder and ammunition down the cabin and blocked the hatch! The firearms team began to counterattack, maintaining the maximum firepower density, and the gunshots were inexhaustible, and they tried their best to kill!"

The deck began to make final preparations for the next boarding. Amidst the intense gunfire, the Holy Anne made the final round of bow shots at a close range of less than 30 meters.

Four shells hit the side of the three-eyed crow without fancy. The huge impact caused the hull to tremble. The sailor was blown off, the sandbag was shattered, and the port side hull shattered with two huge holes, Asaros For the first time I saw Lorraine's preparations for this battle.

"Damn Drake..." He took a deep breath, "Get ready! Get off the deck! Don't give the gun shot again!"

boom!

A dull crash sounded from the bow of the ship, and Asalus heard his charge captain scream.

"The first team, get on board, board!"
