Reborn As a Pirate

v2 Chapter 348: Tricky

Amazing thunder!

Barto is not an expert in blasting. In terms of gunpowder, he is only slightly better than ordinary people who are good at using firearms and artillery. He is barely the one who has played more safely among the many disciples of Acharin.

Prudent means "quantity against quality".

In order to ensure that all Spaniards' firearms and supplies were destroyed in an explosion, he arranged thousands of kilograms of explosives in the armory and the entrance of the auditorium.

Compared with the tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder stock in the bunker, an explosion of this magnitude is definitely in line with the effect of "small-scale precision blasting" proposed by Lorraine. However, the explosion occurred in a cramped underground chamber, and the shock wave with nowhere to vent was still instantaneous. Turn the entire auditorium into ruins.

The shock was transmitted from the shallow underground to the surface, the entire San Carlos land shook, and the dilapidated houses in the East City collapsed.

Before the confused and miserable people even had time to scream, the second roar followed, and the hall aisle collapsed.

The big explosion that directly affected the bunker itself caused a greater secondary disaster than the first. The civilian army barracks were shaken apart by a huge crack in the ground, and the church’s bronze bell shook and screamed, watching the flat bluestone in Xicheng. One bump after another bump on the road.

Just like a violent earthquake, the first sound is only a warning, and the second is the real anger of the earth.

Thick smoke gushes from the limited ventilation pipe openings of the bunker, and the entire San Carlos is plunged into endless panic.

It happened that Daniel, who had made up his mind at that time, was staggered and fell to the ground.

He sat on the ground, staring blankly at the smoke and dust that rushed into the sky not far away: "Captain...he succeeded?"

Leif touched his bald head in disbelief: "Odin is here, I actually missed this..."

"Eriksson, we didn't miss anything."

Daniel chuckled and stood up, slapped with the dust on his body, and his voice returned to the calm and indifferent of the past.

"The purpose of the captain placing us here is to make us the aftermath of the explosion, and the aftermath will never be too long. So gentlemen, target the San Carlos, Drake, and seize the ship."

...

4.4 kilometers north of San Carlos, the junction of the rainforest and the lake.

This is a rare place in the rainforest with a wide view, and the soft beach at the foot of the lake can avoid those horrible snakes and insects that appear at night and in the dense forest to the greatest extent.

Unobstructed is probably the biggest flaw in this place, but according to the city defense plan passed back by Lorraine, the north wall of San Carlos is so simple that there is no lookout post. The Spaniards obviously did not consider the beasts in the rain forest or the Mis. The Kito will assemble one day and launch a decisive offensive against them.

"I seem to have accidentally discovered one of the reasons why the Spaniards lost the ocean..." Nelson muttered while holding his sight glass.

Under his feet, the ground was trembling slightly, and beside him, the lake was rippling.

The San Carlos in the lens is billowing with thick smoke, and the thunderbolt and thunder are still vaguely discernible even if they are separated by a long distance.

"Although it was late, Drake played a triumphant salute for us." He suppressed his excitement and said to Major Spencer next to him, "Next, the fortress will be handed over to you and your heroes. The soldiers are now. And I will return to the deck that I am familiar with. This is the most wonderful result."

Spencer looked at Nelson suspiciously.

"Colonel, as the commander-in-chief, are you sure you want to give up the glory of entering the city first? You see, Drake has almost done everything. We only need to blast through the symbolic wooden wall, and the Spanish will Head down humblely..."

"The Navy enjoys the process? The Army expects the results? This is the difference between the Army and the Navy." Nelson laughed, "This rainforest trip has brought me so much memorable things. I believe Drake is the same. Now only You are left? My friend? A comrade-in-arms and a partner."

"Go and enjoy your moments. Like most joint operations, Drake and I will watch your heroism on the water? You deserve it."

Spencer finally stopped evasive, he bowed to Nelson's chest? Walked back to his troops? He drew out the command sword.

"The whole line is in a line, the infantry is in front, and the car and artillery are accompanying!"

The soldiers slacking around gathered quickly.

Looking at their eager expressions, Spencer couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

He exclaimed: "Gentlemen? First of all, I will solve a doubt for you."

"Some people probably guessed it? Yes, the thunder just now was artificial. President Drake blew up the Spanish arsenal in San Carlos."

"I don't know exactly how he did it. God may bless him, or it may be Satan from **** who protects him."

"Anyway? The Spaniards are over. The Navy has overfulfilled their mission, and the rest of the work is ours!"

"Blast the north wall? Take over the whole city, and crush all the resistance you can see... If there is, crush them!"

"Gentlemen, target San Carlos? Beat the drum? Raise the flag!"

...

"I didn't expect that the secret exit of the bunker would be hidden in the sewer leading to the lake..."

Gently tapping the floating ash that had splashed on his body during the explosion, Lorraine looked around at the wide and unpleasant underground pipe in front of him.

The pipe is very dry.

But from the black and white lines on the wall, Lorraine can easily see that in the rainy season, at least one-third of it will be submerged underwater, and the depth will reach almost one meter.

A depth of one meter is enough for most non-large fish to come and go freely.

This made Lorraine puzzled.

"Mr. Baron, I heard that there are freshwater sharks in Lake Nicaragua. They are aggressive by nature. Don't you worry about being attacked by sharks when you evacuate?"

"Sharks are bloodthirsty, Mr. Drake. Even when the escape route must be used, a gentleman shouldn't let himself be stained with blood, at most there will be some dust, as we are now."

Torrecias' performance was far easier than Lorraine imagined, and this ease seemed to suddenly appear at the moment when he stepped on the watercourse.

Lorraine looked at him and suddenly asked, "So where is the ambush?"

"Ambush..." Torrecias stunned, "There is no ambush. I am still in your hands. How can I do something irresponsible to my own life?"

"But your performance is like saying that your strategy has succeeded, and we are already in the urn."

"You are suspicious!" Torrecias chuckled softly. "Mr. Drake, I swear to God that there is no ambush in our way. If there is, it must not be arranged by me."

"Oh?"

"Actually, I just suddenly thought of a message that you might be interested in."

"what's the message?"

"About this year's change of term." Torrecias said, "Because the Port Authority was attacked by thugs, Grenada decided to advance this year's term of term. This news was delivered to me yesterday, and Major Mara should have known it earlier. But I guess you don’t know."

There was a playful smile on his face.

"According to yesterday’s information, the governor’s and admiral’s ships will arrive at the lakeside dock in advance on May 1, which is two days later. You have made such a big disturbance in San Carlos. With the current mess of the fortress, I It is guessed that the two officials would not choose to dock, but would choose to turn the bow of the ship and come back with a powerful force that you cannot resist."

"By the way, the route between Grenada and San Carlos only takes six hours each way, which means that on May 2nd, you will face a powerful Spanish amphibious army."

Upon hearing this, Lorraine finally understood Torrecias' intentions.

"Unexpectedly, the Lord Baron is actually a forbearing and wise gentleman. This news shouldn't be what you just remembered? Do you think that leaving it here and now will earn you the most benefit? "

"Will my defense be effective?" Torrecias pointed to the exit of the sewer~lightnovelpub.net~ You see, after tonight, everyone will know that there is a powerful British army hiding outside the city of San Carlos. Eyes up. But your number will certainly not be large. Half a regiment may be the limit, just like the civilian army under my command. "

"Why do you have such a judgment?"

"Because of the capacity of the river!" Torresiaston said, "The condition of the San Juan River in the dry season is very bad, and your warships will definitely not be able to enter the river mouth. Based on a few assault boats, how many people can be transported, calculate It's not troublesome to get up."

"So? You want me to let you go, so that you can go to your governor and admiral unscathed?"

"Freedom is of course my expectation, but it's never all." Torressias cleared his throat. "Mr. Drake, I solemnly advise you. The British siege should stop, and it's getting bigger. Before the mistake, end this doomed expedition with dignity."

"This is my only request and your only choice..."
