What kind of monster is opposite
On the holy Anne, asarus, deputy head of the cotton Jack pirate regiment, covered his mouth and looked confused.
The strange ship is now in the middle of the bay mouth, about 300 meters away from him. The draft is very deep, and the actual freeboard is more than half a meter lower than Brig.
In terms of ship type and mast, she should be a Bermuda briganting type of main commercial ship.
As a new design that has only become popular in recent years, assaros has never personally piloted such a ship, and the cotton Jack pirates have not actually made it up.
However, from the reputation of peers, the characteristics of this ship should be fast and flexible, just like a gentle rabbit. There is no need to expect the performance of the battlefield.
But the ship in front is obviously different
There is no sail on the bare mast, and the floating cable is not stressed. She stopped in the middle of the channel. The illegal buildings more than two meters high were covered with iron sheets, which covered the deck tightly. Even a class V ship like Saint Anne could not obtain the advantage of side height.
And she's too strong.
Assaros watched with his own eyes an 18 pound solid bullet hit the hull, but it was embedded on it without breakdown or ignition
She's obviously reinforced.
It is not reinforcement in the general sense, but reinforcement for reinforcement, just like the whole ship is solid.
What are you going to do with such a monster on the other side?
Asaroth looked at the colorful pupil skeleton flag flying on the tip of the mast, turned his head and looked at the towering pillar of smoke on the tip of the North Island.
Is that Drake boy going to attack from land?
The North Island is full of cliff towers, rocks and dangerous slopes. How many people can he send up and when will he launch an attack?
Thinking of this, he called the third mate.
"Send two men to inform the port and ask them to be fully alert for land attacks. Tonight... Except tonight, the Drake boy has no second chance."
"We can't wait. Holy Anne and black goat keep shelling, and Rodriguez and Orlando are ready to meet the side. Since we can't break through the deck, we'll teach the young master how pirates fight!"
……
Squatting on the high yard, Lorraine saw that the two brigantines nearby closed their guns, manipulated the sails and carefully straightened the bow.
Another round of saturation shelling, brig and the class V ship in the distance became more and more accurate, and only two ships caused three direct attacks and two abrasions.
But the sailors on the ship had relaxed, and even Musketeers gathered at the firing port and began to test fire.
Unfortunately, 50 meters is still beyond their ability. The gunfire is covered up in the continuous gunfire. Even discrimination is an extravagant hope.
Lorraine jumped down pulling the cable, took out the long knife with a clang, and carried it on his shoulder.
Leonard quickly pulled him behind the gun deflector and shouted at the sound of the gun.
"Captain! Are they ready to meet the side?"
Lorraine tearfully opened an itchy Musketeer and pointed to the shooting window.
"You're the captain of a three eyed crow, old Leonard. Don't rely on the lookout for everything."
Leonard looked up with red eyes. There was a gunshot, and the gun baffle shook. He was blown out, fell to the ground, clenched his teeth and shouted.
"All ship rounds! The target is close to 20 meters!"
"Let someone replace the fool on the lookout. Does he think he's here to see the play?"
"And Barto! Barto! Barto! Barto! Get your men ready, fire guns loaded, bayonets loaded! The first wave is coming up!"
Boom!
The deep dull impact, which was quite different from the shelling, sounded on the outside of the gun deflector, followed by a large number of hook and rope throwing in the air, hooking the edge of the gun deflector.
Through the thick semi closed barrier, Lorraine heard disorderly cries and voices.
Barto pulled away a sailor and took out a long gun at the shooting port. Boom!
A scream came to an abrupt end.
He threw away his gun coldly: "those fools are gathering on the side of the ship, shooting, shooting! Let them taste the smell of bullets!"
The impatient gunmen who had been waiting for them leaned out of the muzzle one after another.
The standard crew of three eyed crows is 100. This time, it is strengthened to 170. 20 are responsible for gun operation, 40 are responsible for carpentry, 10 are responsible for liaison, lookout and other chores, and the rest are all gladiators.
The 100 fighters are equipped with long and short double guns, long guns with bayonets, and their own favorite knives, swords and axes.
On the contrary, the gun deflector covering the whole freeboard is equipped with 30 shooting ports, one per meter on average. When shooting, three people form a group, one shooting, one loading and one preparing for the war. Although it is not intentional, it is similar to the three stages of shooting rounds that Nobuta Yoshida made famous in the Warring States period of Japan.
There was a continuous sound of gunfire.
After receiving the side, the side of the three eyed crow and the bow of the two brigantines were only two to three meters, with a height difference of about half a meter. As long as the muzzle of the gun tilted slightly, the sailors could send lead bullets into the dense crowd.
The pirate ship overturned at once.
He was shot in the stomach, pierced his hands and feet, and smashed his head
The three-stage shooting made the bullet rain on the three eyed crow dense and long. The pirates who were ready to jump could not avoid it. They fell into the clear sea like cut wheat.
But their counterattack could not achieve the same power, even if the two sides were close at hand, but the small shooting port put forward too high requirements for the pirates. In the flustered war situation, they could not pose a real threat to the three eyed crow.
But they have more people after all!
After the panic, the pirates pushed and jumped over the gap like fleeing from the wilderness, banging and trampling on the wide upper eaves of the gun guard plate. Before they could stand firm, they climbed desperately towards the bare unmanned deck.
"I don't like people on my head..." Lorraine muttered. He took the sailor's long gun and stabbed it into the gap reserved on his head.
Just listen to the sound of poof, the familiar feel of the sharp blade into the meat and the fishy and salty blood came down from the gap. Lorraine abandoned the gun and strode to wave a long knife at the enemy who stepped on the deck.
"Kill!"
After less than 30 minutes of no suspense connection, the two brigantines staggered back.
Lorraine wiped the long knife on a corpse and put it back in its sheath.
He didn't know how many bodies the pirates left, 150? Or two hundred?
All he knew was that there would not be many people left on those two ships.
These gun blocking plates are specially designed for the ground type of Bimini island. They are full of organs and traps.
As long as the class VI ship dares to connect to the side, Lorraine can get the maximum killing at the least cost. None of the pirates who boarded the three eyed crow can go back. She looks that the empty deck itself is a part of the trap.
The practical effect is perfect.
Lorraine kicked away the body of the knife cloth.
"Open a gun deflector and throw all the excess bodies down." he smiled. "Gentlemen, clean the deck faster, because as soon as brigantin retreats, the guns will ring again."
"This is a game of seagulls and turtles... Hurry up and annoy them."
