Chapter 152

    Bad things will be late, but they will never be late.


    In particular, Lorraine also dressed up as the neighbor Lao Wang, openly smashed the door of the count''s house and broke the monitoring on the court wall. As long as he covered his face, the thieves can act in the name of Lao Wang and never worry about revenge afterwards.


    Count galvis, before the end of the defense of New Orleans, was the most cost-effective persecuted object in contemporary America, and he was not one of them.


    The assassination, which the British had prepared for more than ten days, finally began.


    The first shot took place in the jungle. In the south of the jungle, a rest team fell into a trap. After paying the painful price of three deaths and three injuries, it managed to regain its disadvantage by relying on the overgrown oak trees and form a stalemate with the sneaking Indians.


    Before the intelligence encountered could be transmitted back to lieutenant colonel Irwin in the distance, the whole line of war began and spread from the south to the north.


    The gunfire soon alerted the Earl''s guard wandering around the lake. Karen and ero in the double carriage looked at each other and ordered the guard to change formation and pass through the theater as quickly as possible.


    They didn''t subpoena Lorraine, and the current situation doesn''t need a special subpoena at all.


    Lorraine''s sailors on the forecastle never let the count''s motorcade out of sight. The news of their change of formation reached Lorraine''s ears at the first time.


    "War?"


    Lorraine jumped up and squinted at the calm lake in front of her.


    "Comprehensively inspect the waters five kilometers ahead! Every ship should be thoroughly inspected! Gun door, deck, don''t miss a gun!"


    "Raise the pirate flag! Helmsman in position! Sail in position! Gunner in position! Katrina, command the guns! Noah, let the sailors run!"


    There was a busy group on the deck. The Jackdaw cooperated with the sailors who were not tacit, and arrived at the post as soon as possible under the command of 20 old sailors.


    The two side guns opened one after another, and the black muzzle poked its head out of the gun chamber towards the lake.


    Pierce quickly found the target.


    "At 12 o''clock, at a distance of 3 km, one skuna; at 2 o''clock, at a distance of 5.5 km, one brigantin, with the gun door wide open; at 10 o''clock, at a distance of 2 km, one slup, with guns found on the deck!"


    "Three ships!" Lorraine gritted his teeth. "Let Karen slow down and avoid the shelling line. The Jackdaw assault, full sail and wing sail, target slup type, move forward!"


    ……


    forward!


    The Jackdaw has the top-level high-speed ship design and runs with the wind. With the cross sail and wing sail fully open, even in the breeze, it still barely reaches a speed of more than 6 knots.


    Close at hand, the slup type paid all its attention to the count guard who was about to reach the best shooting position, almost stagnated on the lake, and the Jackdaw quickly climbed to 11 kilometers per hour, broke through the water and sailed fast.


    Just a moment later, Lorraine standing in the bow saw the shadow of slup''s sail.


    Pierce shouted overhead, "brigantin is abnormal! She found us and is charging us!"


    "Guard slow down! The count guard has slowed down and tried to approach the jungle! Land encounter!"


    Lorraine jerked his head!


    The guard met the enemy at the edge of the forest, about a dozen people, but their formation was not rigorous and did not form a continuous trend.


    Such an enemy was not so much a deliberate ambush as a scattered soldier driven out of the woods. In front of the heavily prepared guards, he was soon pressed back into the woods.


    Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief and ordered loudly, "Karen can take care of these scattered Indians! Regardless of them, the course remains the same! Bow guns, shrapnel!"


    The 18 pound scattered iron beads poured into the bow heavy gun at the fastest speed, and under the command of Katrina, they aimed at the low and simple sloop schooner directly ahead.


    The clumsy fake fishing boat didn''t start to have a decent response until this time. The flustered sailors raised their sails, but forgot that in order to stabilize the ship as much as possible, they anchored the ship to the bottom of the lake


    The distance of slup type is 500m, the distance of skuna type is 1.5km, and the distance of brigantin is 2km.


    Katrina shouted, "fire!"


    There were two blasts, and the heavy artillery at the bow of the ship with high hopes hit the air without suspense, setting off a large spray of water.


    Lorraine had no expression on her face and held her arm. She just ordered the Jackdaw to go straight!


    400 meters, 300 meters


    Slup finally pulled up their anchor, tossed their sails and tried to escape.


    Lorraine raised his head and glanced at brigantin, who showed the shadow of the sail in the Northwest: "prepare for shelling on both sides, load solid bullets, helmsman on standby, sail on standby. Rangefinder, report every 50 meters."


    "Yes!"


    "Distance 250, distance 200,... Distance 100, distance 50!"


    "Right rudder fifteen! Turn the sail!" Lorraine shouted.


    Haina turned the steering wheel at the first time when Lorraine ordered, and didn''t even wait for the sound to reach her ears. The huge hull of the Jackdaw drew a huge roll arc and almost turned close to the little slup.


    The lake stirred up huge waves, and the huge waves gripped the small ship shadow and raised her, and then raised her!


    "Port full fire, fire!"


    Boom! Boom, boom! Boom!


    A full 10 12 pound guns fired at the helpless slup at a distance of more than 20 meters and almost exactly the same height.


    Lorraine saw the desperate faces of the sailors on the ship.


    This expression did not last long. Under the favorable weather, place and people, even if Katrina was no longer good at artillery, two out of ten shells hit slup''s hull.


    For this kind of boat, only one shot of twelve pound run is enough to break her apart


    "Confirm! Slup sank!" the order on the lookout platform sounded one after another, "brigantine distance 700! Relative speed 7.5 knots, ready for port cutting!"


    "Starboard shelling, the target is in front of the water, fire!"


    Lorraine issued a bizarre order. Katrina had no time to think and answered immediately.


    The Jackdaw in the rudder fired artillery at the empty lake. Ten shells roared to open the water surface, and the raised spray formed a water mist, blocking the way in front of brigantin and in front of the Jackdaw.


    But their responses are very different.


    The Jackdaw steered back and plunged into the water fog. In order to avoid the possibility of collision in the fog area, brigantin chose to continue to open the angle and detour to the distance.


    "I''m going to avoid the battle by cutting the side and go around to bombard the count''s team? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world..." Lorraine shook his head with a sneer. "Go up and cut the enemy''s bow! Port shelling preparation! Receiving preparation! Collision preparation!"


    He strode down the forecastle and kept on giving orders.


    "The docking time shall be controlled within five minutes. Noah, mobilize 30 sailors to board with me."


    "Yes, Captain!"


    "Pierce continues to monitor scuna in the distance, Katrina takes over the command of the jackdaw, and Haina continues to take the helm. After the connection, the warship keeps on. Your task is to sink or capture the scuna, and don''t let the little guy run away!"


    "Yes, Captain!"


    Lorraine took a deep breath: "the smell of victory and harvest... Jackdaw, move forward."


    WOW!


    Breaking the crest of the wave, the Jackdaw tore open the mist from its high bow and rushed forward!
