Reborn As a Pirate

What kind of monster is on the other side...

On the Holy Anne, Asaros, the deputy head of the Cotton Jack Pirates, covered his mouth with a puzzled expression.

That weird-looking ship was now lying in the middle of the mouth of the bay, about 300 meters away from him, with a very deep draft, and its actual freeboard was half a meter shorter than that of Brig.

Judging from the shape of the ship and the mast, she should be a Bermuda Brigentine type mainly for commercial use.

As a new design that has only become popular in recent years, Asaros has never personally piloted this kind of ship, and the Cotton Jack Pirates have never actually used it.

But judging from the word-of-mouth of the peers, this kind of ship should be characterized by fast and flexible, just like a docile rabbit, there is no need to expect the performance on the battlefield.

But the boat in front of him is obviously different...

There are no sails on the bare masts, and the floating cables are not stressed. She stopped in the middle of the channel, and the two-meter-high illegal building was covered with iron sheets, covering the deck tightly, and even a fifth-tier ship like Holy Anne couldn't gain the advantage of sheer height.

And she's unduly strong.

Asaros saw with his own eyes that an 18-pound solid bullet hit the hull of the ship, and it was actually embedded in it, without breaking through or igniting...

She was clearly reinforced.

Not reinforcement in the general sense, but reinforcement for reinforcement, as if the entire ship is solid.

What are you planning to do with such a monster on the opposite side?

Asaros stared at the colorful-eyed skull flag fluttering on the tip of the mast, turned his head, and looked at the plume of smoke soaring from the top of Beidao Mountain.

Is that Drake kid planning to attack from land?

The North Island is full of cliff towers, rocky slopes, how many people can he send up, and when will he attack?

Thinking of this, he called the third officer.

Send two people to notify the port and ask them to be on full alert for an attack from the land direction. Tonight...except tonight, the Drake boy has no second chance.

We can't just wait around. Holy Anne and the Black Goat are constantly shelling, and Rodriguez and Orlando are ready to join the ship. Since we can't penetrate the deck, let's teach that young master how pirates fight!

...

Crouching on the high yards,

Lorraine saw the two nearby Brigantines put away their gun ports, and manipulated the sails to carefully straighten the bow.

Another round of saturated bombardment, Brig and the fifth-tier ships in the distance hit more and more accurately, and only two ships caused three direct hits and two abrasions.

But the sailors on the ship had already relaxed, and some musketeers even leaned over the firing port and started to test fire.

It's a pity that fifty meters is more or less beyond their ability, the sound of gunfire is covered by the continuous sound of artillery, and even distinguishing is a luxury.

Lorraine jumped down pulling the cable, drew out the long knife with a clang, and carried it on his shoulder.

Leonard hurriedly pulled him behind the gun shield, shouting against the sound of the gun.

Captain! Are they ready to board?

Lorraine pulled away an itchy musketeer dumbfoundedly, and pointed to the shooting window.

You are the captain of the Three-Eyed Raven, old Leonard, don't rely on the watchtower for everything.

Leonard leaned up to look with red eyes, and there was a bang, and the gun shield shook violently. He was blown out and fell to the ground, gnashing his teeth and shouting loudly.

Shotguns from the whole ship! The target is close to 20 meters!

Have someone replace the idiot on the watchtower, does he think he's here to watch a show?

And Barto! Barto! Barto! Barto! Get your men ready, load your muskets and bayonets! The first wave is coming up!

boom!

A deep and muffled impact that was completely different from the shelling sounded on the outside of the gun shield, followed by a large number of hooks being thrown in the air, hooking the edge of the gun shield.

Through the thick semi-closed barrier, Lorraine heard chaotic shouts and voices.

Barto dragged a sailor away, and took out a long gun towards the firing port, boom!

A scream came to an abrupt end.

He dropped the gun grimly: Those idiots are gathering on the ship's side, shooting, shooting! Let them also taste the hail of bullets!

The impatient gunmen who had been waiting for a long time stuck out their guns one after another.

The standard crew of the Three-Eyed Crow is 100 people. This time, it has been increased to 170 people. 20 people are responsible for operating guns, 40 people are responsible for carpentry, 10 people are responsible for liaison, observation and other chores, and the rest are all fighters.

Each of the 100 fighters is equipped with long and short guns, and the long guns are equipped with bayonets, as well as their favorite knives, swords and axes.

In contrast, there are a total of 30 shooting ports on the gunboard covering the entire freeboard, with an average of one per meter. When shooting, there are three people in groups, one shoots, one loads, and one prepares for battle. Although it is not intentional, it is It is similar to Oda Nobunaga's three-stage shooting round that became famous throughout the Warring States Period of Japan.

Continuous gunshots rang out.

After being connected to the board, the side of the Three-Eyed Raven and the bows of the two Brigantines are only two to three meters away, and the height difference is about half a meter. As long as the muzzle of the gun is slightly upturned, the sailors can send lead bullets into the dense crowd .

The pirate ship was overwhelmed for a while.

Those who were shot in the stomach, those whose hands and feet were pierced, those whose heads were smashed...

The three-stage shooting made the rain of bullets on the Three-Eyed Raven dense and long, and the pirates who were about to jump were unavoidable, and they fell to the clear sea like cut wheat.

But their counterattack couldn't achieve the same power, even if the two sides were close at hand, the small shooting port put forward too high demands on the pirates, and they couldn't pose a real threat to the Three-eyed Raven in the flustered battle situation.

But they have more people after all!

After the panic, the pirates pushed and jumped across the gap as if fleeing famine, stepped on the wide upper eaves of the cannon plate, and before they could stand still, they desperately climbed towards the bare unmanned deck.

I don't like people on top of my head... Lorraine muttered, took the spear from the sailor beside him, and stabbed it at the reserved knife slit on the top of his head.

There was only a pop, and the familiar feel of the sharp blade piercing the flesh and the salty blood came down from the gap together. Lorraine abandoned the gun and swung the long knife at the enemy who stepped on the deck in stride.

kill!

The boarding without any suspense lasted less than 30 minutes, and the two Brigantines staggered back.

Lorraine wiped the long knife clean on a corpse and sheathed it.

He didn't know how many corpses the pirates left behind, one hundred and fifty? Or two hundred?

He only knew that there must not be too many people left on those two ships.

These gun shields are specially designed for the terrain of Bimini Island. There are organs everywhere and traps all over.

As long as the sixth-level ship dares to take over, Lorraine can get the most damage at the lowest cost. None of the pirates who boarded the Three-Eyed Raven can go back. Her seemingly empty deck itself is a part of the trap.

In practice it works flawlessly.

Lorraine kicked away the corpse of the knife cloth.

Open a gun-battery and throw all the extra bodies down. He smiled, Gentlemen, clear the decks quickly, because the guns are bound to resume as soon as Brigantine backs off.

It's a game of gulls and turtles... hurry up and piss them off.
