Reborn As a Pirate

Unknowingly, from the first gunshot, the naval battle of Le Robert Bay has been going on for a full hour.

Three battlefields, two battle regiments, and nine warships representing Britain and France risked their lives beside this little-known island reef.

The Badger's poop was ablaze.

Not long ago, because an accidental chain bomb hit the mid-level mainsail, the Badger suddenly lost its normal speed.

In the process of dealing with this accident, the Jupiter on the opposite side seized the opportunity, and two solid bullets crashed into the poop, one left and one right, and luckily detonated one of the stern guns.

Fortunately, considering the extremely limited appearance rate of this stern gun, Nelson transferred most of the gunpowder and shells to the main deck in advance, which made the scale of the explosion controlled in a small area, and only the officer's dormitory was destroyed. , the core steering wheel group and the dangerous ship's interior cabin are all protected from the impact.

Now, the fire has been brought under control, and the lack of topsails has been filled in time by the lower sails. The Badger has returned to a familiar rhythm, maintaining a low-to-medium speed of 2 to 3 knots, carefully hiding in Jupiter's shooting blind spot, and heading towards the The leapfrogged adversary poured out revenge.

The mode of battle is basically fixed, and there is no need for more refined command in a short period of time. British warships have a mature division of duties between upper and lower levels. Before the final boarding battle, there is little room for the captain to play.

Nelson stood majestically on the relatively empty forecastle deck, his wandering eyes did not linger too much on the many fireworks, but he did not decisively damage the Jupiter, but kept sweeping across the calm sea in the south intentionally or unintentionally .

The enemy at the end of the sea is also a comrade in arms.

The battle there is more difficult than here. Lorraine faces the old and cunning Gervaudan, and the Golden Hind is entangled with the huge and clumsy Andes. How will the outcome be?

Shall we send a Zodiac to observe it?

Nelson stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Tens of kilometers away, the real central battlefield of the naval battle in Le Robert Bay, the scene of the Golden Hind staggering and fleeing with thick smoke not only fell into the eyes of the French fleet admiral Earl Gervaudan, but also fell into the eyes of Collingwood and In the eyes of the entire crew of the Wasp.

During the hour-long artillery battle, these elite British sailors hardly felt any pressure.

The Hornet was lying carelessly just outside the exit of the No. 5 channel, lowering the sails, disembarking the boat, clearing the deck, and concentrating on it.

But even though his attitude was full of concentration, the real bombardment was still extremely perfunctory.

the goal is there,

Can't run, can't hide, can't advance, can't retreat.

The closest the Wasp has suffered so far was at 150 meters away, and their attacks are similar, never falling within 100 meters of the target.

This battle was fought...

The crew of the Wasp actually didn't care that much about the real-time status of the Golden Deer, but in the purgatory battlefield where life and death were at an instant, they seemed to have nothing more meaningful to do except cheer for their comrades.

But now, the comrades they supported ran away...

The sailors of the Wasp looked at each other in embarrassment. The second lieutenant captain who had a close personal relationship with Collingwood was recommended by the sailors to their captain, and asked the question that everyone cared about the most.

Major, the Golden Deer...seems to be broken.

I can see it. Collingwood looked at the far side expressionlessly, heading for the fourth fairway, with a speed of 3 to 4 knots. From the perspective of an escaped ship, her sails are not completely affected by the wind. There are also a lot of redundant movements, which greatly affects her escape efficiency.

Perhaps... the cannon just now suffered heavy losses, right?

for example?

For example, the main sailors died in battle, and the dragons on board have no leader?

Collingwood sneered and pointed at the Golden Deer: It may not be visible from the Andes' angle, but from our angle, the scene of being shot just now is very clear. There is no one on the bow deck at all. As for the scattered pieces, you How much threat do you think it can pose to a strong man who climbs a cliff with his bare hands?

The captain of the navy froze on the spot: What does the major mean...President Drake is a fraud?

I don't know. Collingwood shook his head regretfully, Drake and the admiral are the same kind of people, decisive, determined, rich in knowledge and extremely high-quality. They were once compared by the sea school, but the admiral chose Dedicated to his country, Drake chose himself.

Major, I don't understand...

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, even I don't know what I want to express...Convey it, don't be impatient, at least until the defeat is over, we all have the absolute obligation to stick to our posts.

yes!

The sailor captain was coaxed back like this. There was no one else around, and Collingwood's face suddenly became gloomy.

Lorraine Anason Drake owned a huge property at a young age.

With his ability and family background, he could have made great achievements in the Royal Navy and protected the country and became famous, but he chose to retire, and he was so anxious that he couldn't wait until he graduated from the sea school.

No matter what hidden secrets are in it, he is a man without a country.

A man without a country should not be relied on as an arm. He may be brave, fearless, enthusiastic, or good at fighting, but once he judges that the situation in front of him is hopeless, how determined is he to live to death?

no?

The direct attack just now may not have destroyed the Golden Deer, but it may have shattered the desire to win in his heart.

Fake defeat... Is the purpose of the fraudulent defeat to deceive the French or the British?

Lorraine Drake, will this person really get cold feet?

Collingwood couldn't guess the answer to this question. In his opinion, perhaps only an outstanding commander like Nelson among the younger generation could understand Lorraine's thoughts.

But he couldn't get in touch with Nelson now.

On the huge battlefield, the distance between him and Nelson is extremely far, but the distance between him and the Andes is extremely close.

The Wasp... time to go in now? Should I return?

Drawing a scattered track, the Golden Deer sailed to the fourth channel, the only exit of the battlefield, like sleepwalking.

This kind of thing seems very simple to describe.

However, the ship is not a living thing, and it is not easy to truly express the trance and fear of a defeated general in the human field of vision, not to mention that there is no reference on the Golden Deer, and such negative and desperate emotions cannot be found at all. .

To fight, to fight, to fight!

After experiencing the god-like direct attack on the bow, that is the real atmosphere on the Golden Deer. The so-called escape is just a new round of luring the enemy based on the status quo by Lorraine.

In order to achieve the most realistic effect, Lorraine recruited someone from the sailors who had no steering experience to take the helm instead, and ordered the three sails to operate independently instead of giving unified instructions.

As a result, the sense of synergy was finally broken, and the Golden Deer swayed to distance itself from the Andes. The wind was uneven, the navigation was unstable, and the thick black smoke billowing from the bow of the ship was like a pillar. This picture is like the taste of a bereaved dog.

Lorraine and Henna, who were temporarily free, came to Noah's divination room together.

Opposite to Carmen's staff room, these two cabins are located at the left and right oblique angles on the upper deck of the stern cabin, with the best observation view, and the concealment is also excellent if you don't stand on the balcony.

Hai Na casually drew a card from Noah's deck, without saying what she had drawn, and inserted it back into the deck.

Guards who pretend to be injured to attract the target are also commonly used in assassination. She lowered her eyelids and said softly, But when assassins use this method, they are often the only valuable targets to kill, and the current situation no the same.

Not the same? Lorraine tilted his head, Are you worried that I will be self-defeating, and once the distance is too large, Rewodang will immediately give up on me and seek victory from the Wasp?

It's the most effective means of winning.

In principle, you are right. But I guarantee that Gevodang will not let us enter the fourth channel.

Why?

Le Robert. Lorraine laughed, Compared to the Hornets and Badgers, the Golden Deer that destroyed Le Robert is the most evil criminal here. Previously, the Golden Deer was slippery, and it was difficult to give him a chance Now that we have behaved like this, if we are allowed to escape again, Gervaudang will not be able to explain to the governor and parliament of Martinique.

So the Frenchman Brig will definitely come to catch up?

The Andes, or the Brig. To punish the culprit who harmed the French people, he must hunt me down. In order to win the naval battle of Le Robert Bay, he must suppress the Wasp. The two ships must separate, as long as they If we are separated, we will have a chance to take advantage of it.

Track Brig?

I'm afraid there is no possibility of pincer attack... Lorraine sighed regretfully, This plan is temporary, and we have no way to notify our comrades. If we don't want the Wasp to do anything unnecessary due to misjudgment, we have to separate Action will do.

If we also separate... Haina's eyes lit up, You are going to let Bel Judea pin the Andes!

Before she finished speaking, Lorraine also locked the figure of the French Brig ship Totem galloping from behind through the looking glass.

It's a beautiful new ship... I really can't bear it. He muttered and stood up, Hina, let Bell go out. Tell him, I need an hour.
