Chapter 239

"The light direction is due north, 8.5km, and the relative speed is 3 knots!"

"Due south of the land, 4km, watch out for the nearshore stone beach!"

"Cut into the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. Everything is normal."

"Turn the rudder due west and return the personnel."

"Closely monitor the coastal distance and report as soon as it changes."

"The captain ordered that the alert was reduced to level III, non duty personnel were on standby, the restaurant and divination were open, and no activities unrelated to the deck were allowed."

……

Lorraine drew a bright arc on the chart, representing that the Jackdaw tilted southward from its previous position, with an east-west span of about 3km and a north-south deviation of about 6km, and finally moved to its current position.

The speed of the ship did not decrease, the sail remained at the top corner, and the formation No. 6 was lost. The Jackdaw officially cut into Chesapeake, which was located in the south of the bay mouth.

The crew are not familiar with this sea area, and the chart in hand is also an ordinary product on the market, which is shoddy and extremely lack of coastal details.

Due to the problem of night vision, it is difficult for them to continue to approach the coast.

High speed, occlusion, lack of room for maneuver, hidden enemies beside the couch

Lorraine knows that it is far from being at ease, but Shaq's home characteristics are like this. As long as the attacker does not have an overwhelming advantage and wants to enter it, he must endure and adapt to this slow suffocating pressure.

If you don't get used to it, you will mess up. If you mess up, you are easy to make mistakes. The result of wrong behavior is to put yourself into a snare. When you really get stained with Sark's spider silk, the death knell will ring in your ear.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang

The bell of the coastal church rang through the wide sea. The sound was melodious. Lorraine was stunned.

After all, Cape Henry has never been a simple Cape, but a prosperous town where thousands of people live. There should be no shortage of church docks, even coastal forts to expel pirates.

Worship, mass, weddings and funerals, it's our duty for the church to join the fun and ring the bell to tell it to the public.

But I just thought of the death knell and heard it

Lorraine even Pooh a few mouthfuls, watching Katrina at a loss.

"Captain, did a fish hit you in the mouth just now?"

"The height of jackdaw's side..." Lorraine silently pointed to the coast, "the death knell."

Katrina suddenly realized: "it's probably a gentleman on the shore who was honored by the Lord."

"Don't recruit early, don't recruit late... Do you want to ventilate at this time..."

Lorraine froze in place.

send news secretly?

Shaq's round shape is linked, and the movement mode is far more than round shape. The blocking formation is also a link of linkage. When formation 6 arrives at the bay mouth

From north to south, cover the door and close the road... The passable bay mouth will narrow down. Remove the monitoring range of formation 6, and the rest is to block the possible position of the formation.

Now formation 6 is in the north, so the blockade formation is in the South

The Jackdaw prepared two lookouts. Haina stared at the No. 6 formation farther and farther away. Pierce was watching the coast

The front is in a temporary lack of vision. If the blockade formation really expands its formation in this direction, the result is

Encounter!

Lorraine shrugged!

"Haina! Front!"

He shouted and jumped up to look at the bow.

There seemed to be a huge shadow rising and falling in the deep and thick darkness.

"Distance from... 1200, relative speed 14 knots, frontal ship shadow, avoid!"

"Right full rudder, avoid!"

"Collision warning! Roll warning! Attack warning! Avoid, avoid!"

"They found us! The bow was shelled and the left rudder was shot!"

With a loud cry from the sailors on the front deck, the roar of shelling came immediately.

In this short response, the distance between the two sides has been close to 800. The Jackdaw avoided to the right and could not expose the whole port side in front of the opponent's bow gun.

Gunfire roared!

Lorraine saw the glare of the fire, and then the sea two or three hundred meters away from the golden deer exploded a huge spray.

"Bell, leave the shelling alone and continue to circumscribe. We need space!"

"I know!" bell clenched his teeth in response, firmly and firmly pressed the handwheel, desperately looking for the opportunity to cut back to the wind in a limited angle.

Sharp turn is the natural enemy of speed!

At this moment of turning, the speed of the Jackdaw decreased by nearly half. Bell quickly caught the wind, the hull became stable, and the speed began to rise slowly.

A sailor rushed out of the gun cabin and reported loudly to Lorraine: "report to the captain, the port is well prepared and can fight back at any time!"

Lorraine took a deep breath: "the gun door is fully open. Meet the enemy when cutting the side. Tell acharin to disturb the enemy and don't let the recoil interfere with the center of gravity."

"Yes!"

While talking, the freeboard began. The Jackdaw and the class V ship opposite passed like two opposite parallel lines on the sea less than 300 away. The bow passed through the bow and the port side was opposite to the port side.

"Port side shot! Avoid!"

Boom, boom! Boom, boom!

The two sides fired guns almost at the same time. The eighteen pounds of the fifth class ship and the twelve pounds of the Jackdaw were all over the sky, stirring up clouds and clouds in the narrow sea.

Bell flexibly cut a small angle of less than three degrees to avoid setting the course immediately, so that the two engines that were likely to hit missed and fell on the side of the golden deer.

Acharin subtly predicted Bell's response. The sidewall guns fired from front to back, which not only complied with the change of the ship's center of gravity, but also hit the opponent's hull with good luck, which made the opponent panic.

The dangerous freeboard is over in an instant, the two ships are separated, 300350400... The distance is getting farther and farther.

Haina followed the vague enemy shadow and shouted a warning: "the enemy ship cuts left, shelling! The stern is shot!"

There was another continuous roar. The artillery fire was fired 500 meters away. The water spray exploded at the stern of the jackdaw, and the waves hit the hull, shaking the hull violently.

Lorraine grabbed a sailor who rolled out and nailed his feet to the deck.

"Damn British speed, I know how others feel when they face us!"

Katrina stood beside him helplessly, with a rope tied around her waist.

"Found, captain. Next, British warships will surround like sharks smelling blood..."

"Who makes their supervisor a shark?" Lorraine sneered. "Things haven't exceeded expectations. At least formation 6 and the ship we just lost can't catch up with us for the time being. We can look forward."

"You look a little excited."

"The reason why Damocles is afraid is not because the hanging sword is sharp, but because the thin horse mane will break. Now the sword has fallen. Catch it and avoid it. The winner of this party will be us."

Lorraine's face brightened with laughter.

"Bell, find the wind! The rabbit's weapon is speed. If our legs and feet are inconvenient, we deserve to be eaten by the lion!"

"Looking for it!" bell stared at the weathercock without raising his head. "Also, lions hate rabbits because they don't have enough meat to fill their teeth!"

"We are fat rabbits." Lorraine clapped heavily on the guardrail at hand and clenched it tightly. "Dionysius, as noble as you, do you really have to hide behind the heavy curtain? I'm looking forward to it..."

"Distance 1400, azimuth 11 o'clock, huge ship shadow, judge the bow, HMS lion battleship!"

"Approaching, firelight! Shelling!"

"The bow is shot, avoid!"

Boom! Boom, boom!
