Reborn As a Pirate

v2 Chapter 347: Thunder

Precise blasting with ordinary black powder is a tedious task.

First of all, they are packed in barrels, and because they are mainly used as propellant and primer, a large part of them are wrapped in paper shell bullets and artillery cloth bags according to the needs of muskets and artillery.

To make them completely change their functions, they must be unpacked and merged on site to produce explosives of whatever weight and place them in the right place, trying to achieve the greatest effect with the least damage, and strive not to leave a gun for the Spaniards.

Lorraine certainly didn't want to do this kind of tedious and meticulous work, and Hina had no spare energy, so of course, she could only throw it all to Barto, who had a broken arm and was slightly injured.

In the center of the enemy battalion, what kind of experience is it like to hold the opponent's top commander doing nothing?

In all fairness, there is no experience.

Barto’s preparations took nearly two hours, during which two waves of people ran out of the auditorium to report to Torrecias on the ground.

The first news is that the chaos in Watergate has subsided. Although the attackers have been repelled, the grenadier troops have suffered great losses.

More than 40 people are known to have died in this attack and more than 10 people were seriously injured. Among the severely wounded, the highest rank and the most seriously injured was the commander of the Grenadier Forces of Grenada, Gonzalo de Ovi. Yeah how many schools.

The second message was less than 40 minutes after the first message, and the content was still a follow-up to the Watergate attack.

It was confirmed that many schools in Oviere died at the age of 33.

Lorraine didn't care too much about the Spanish colonial major Lu who died young, he was more concerned with Torrecias' response.

Perhaps because Lorraine was close at hand, or because Lorraine's hand had been holding the hilt of the knife, Torrecias was extremely cooperative. He didn't let anyone into the auditorium, all reports went through the other door, and at the end of the second report, he thought that Oviere was mourning how many schools, and the soldiers were forbidden to continue to report to the auditorium.

"After the mourning is over, I will go to the deputy head of the delegation. Before that, I will report to the deputy head of any changes!"

This is what he said.

Lorraine was surprised at the simplicity and boldness he showed in the process of seeking a living.

If there is no secret information such as I was kidnapped hidden in those partition walls, if Torrecias and others express their sincerity to the kidnappers, they would personally drive away the soldiers who might have rescued him, and at the same time gave up warning the garrison. Last chance.

With his cooperation, the preparations for blasting were finally completed.

Barto set up a simple delayed detonation device, leaving only the candle to activate the mechanism, waiting for Lorraine's final order.

So Lorraine looked at Torrecias: "Mr. Baron, I remember you said that there is a secret road leading to the lake in the bunker..."

Not long after, in the arsenal.

Under the command of Torrecias, Lorraine personally fought the twenty barrels of fresh wheat flour piled on the corner of the wall, and finally saw a secret door, which was hidden in the sundries warehouse of the arsenal.

"This is the secret road?" Lorraine looked strange.

Torrecias shrugged lazily: "The auditorium is the command room of the barrier and the field hospital that temporarily accommodates war wounded soldiers. It is a matter of course that the secret tunnel is located in this area."

"Are there guards in the secret path too?"

"No. The secret road is confidential. Before the commander actually activates it, ordinary soldiers and middle and lower-level officers have no qualifications to know."

"In that case..."

Lorraine took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time. At 10:40, it was nearly three hours past the time he had agreed with Nelson.

Now he only hopes that Nelson will not misjudge their status as death, and withdraw the troops in the rainforest before the thunder explodes.

If such unlucky things happen, Lorraine will leave Torrecias behind as soon as he escapes the bunker, and run as far as he can.

In short, the decisive moment is approaching.

Barto inserted the candle into the prepared candlestick and lit the fire.

The candlelight will burn the rope temporarily wrapped in thick wax at the upper end of the candle within 20 minutes, causing a pottery charcoal pot to fall down, smashed to pieces, and ignite the kerosene below.

The starting ends of a total of sixteen explosive cords were all immersed in this can of lamp oil, which had already been full of lamp oil at this point and became ignited at the touch of a touch.

They will become passages for flames until all the explosives buried in guns and cracks in the wall are ignited.

Bang!

Lorraine simulated the final explosion in his head and couldn't help but smile.

He said to Torrecias: "There are 20 minutes left, we should go."

...

At this time, the lakeside dock.

Daniel stared again and again at the slender shadow of the San Carlos not far away.

His task is to seize the ship.

Unlike Lorraine who was alone around him, he was surrounded by capable sailors, and even Leif was replenished by Lorraine.

Daniel knew in his heart that Lorraine strengthened Leif in order to prevent the appearance of Blackbeard.

However, Daniel doesn't think Blackbeard will show up tonight.

The movement of the Watergate attack was much louder than that of the Port Authority. The sound of gunshots, whistles, shouts, screams...

Daniel personally watched some of the soldiers gathering in a small square not far away, a total of forty or fifty people, together forming a rigorous and thick temporary line, accompanied by drums, and marching towards the direction of Watergate.

It was they who made Blackbeard swallow the bitter fruit of his failure once again.

Daniel inquired that although the grenadier troops had suffered heavy losses, they had also caused huge damage to the attackers.

Blackbeard took more than 20 people, only 7 of them really came out of it. Of the remaining 13 people, two were captured and 11 died in the chaos.

Soon new news came through. Oviedo was dead. The resentful soldiers vented their grievances and anger on the prisoners. In just a moment, the two prisoners were tortured to death one after another.

It's just that even such a major event has completely come to an end, and the Lorraine and others who have mixed into the civilian barracks still have no news.

Are they also captured?

Could it be that the action tonight has already been leaked, and the militia barracks are simply a net of heaven and earth?

After all, without this degree of defense, it is really hard for some sailors to imagine that they could pose a threat to Lorraine and Henna.

The key is what should Daniel do?

Do you want to take the sailors around you to raid Watergate and rescue Lorraine following the example of Blackbeard, or to give Lorraine unconditional trust, believing that he is just being held back by something, and the explosive sound used as a command will explode anytime and anywhere?

Then again, when will this **** thunder explode?

San Carlos is now the best time to seize!

Previously, because of the watergate war, the sailors on the ship had been transferred to only a dozen men, and the enemy was dark.

With Leif's fighting power to help out, the San Carlos robbed at this time may even have zero casualties.

But Lorraine's request was waiting for the thunder to explode...

Daniel was a marine physician, a surgeon before he became a marine physician, a shaver in London, and a respected and feared alchemist.

He himself is not good at fighting. After joining Lorraine's flagship, he only learned the basics of seamen. He has never really commanded sailors, nor has he participated in the discussion of battle plans.

Everything in front of him made him feel unfamiliar, the most unfamiliar thing was his intuitive feeling of dilemma.

Should we stick to the pre-war plan?

As he was thinking, Leif strode into the door.

"Daniel Solander, what are you waiting for? The scout said that Mara had taken the sailors out of the port authority, and it seemed that he was about to board the ship. When they got on the ship, we couldn’t get the cloth at all. Regentine!"

"But Thunder..."

"Damn~lightnovelpub.net~ The captain used the explosion as a start signal to increase our weight in grabbing the ship. The defense on the ship is now weaker than the original plan after the Thunder. You tell me you are going to let this opportunity go. , Waiting for the Thunder and perhaps more defenders?"

"this……"

"Have you forgotten the captain's request of us? After grabbing the boat, he immediately went north along the shore of the lake, left the dock, and met the crew. He specifically said that we don't need to wait for him. The implication is to let us judge the time of the shot. You know, judge for yourself!"

"real?"

Daniel was still a little skeptical, but just like Leif, he couldn't endure the temptation of San Carlos to defend the emptiness in the end.

He swallowed several times in the dark, and raised his finger to the lonely Brigentine battleship more than 100 meters away.

"Capture the ship. All..."

"Kill!" "Boom!!!!!!"
