——————————

After a few days of consecutive battles. From the one-on-two leapfrog challenge in Coral Bay, to the single boat occupation of Trinidad Port, with the victory over and over again, Lu Yuan's various values ​​once again stood on the top of the contractor! Despite having forged a powerful enemy like Spain, he also increased his reputation from "unknown" to "little famous" pirate captain.

Maybe it was because of the increase in prestige, or maybe it was because of the killing of that kill ... In short, not only the sailors on board became more obedient, but also made his command smoother. The pirates of Trinidad had not dared to come to trouble him after occupying the Governor's Palace.

The entire port of Trinidad was tacitly divided into three parts. The robbers occupied the governor ’s palace, where they dug three feet; Lu Yuan occupied the pier, constantly screening for loot; McLaren and the remaining gunners were trapped in the fort , Lu Yuan did not take care of them, pirates did not dare to provoke them. McLaren had nothing but moist gunpowder, and he didn't even sleep. He stood by the fort all night and no one knew what he was thinking.

Temporary Yan Qi Xi Gu gave Lu Yuan more time to sort out the loot. Remove more goods. So, three thousand barrels of rum returned to his hand again, and muskets, scimitars, and bayonet were added to the empty arsenal. He also chose two other good ships ... preliminary estimates. The looted items are worth at least 210,000 pesos in addition to what you want to use!

The most regrettable thing is the 500 rifled flintlocks. McLaren didn't want to equip soldiers. He was probably pitted. This gun requires a special bullet wrapped in tarpaulin. Each time the ammunition needs to be loaded, follow the rifle of the barrel and tap it in with a hammer. Not fast yet ... Although the range is long and the accuracy is high. However, the reloading time is ten times that of ordinary flintlocks, and there is no value in equipping the army.

Lu Yuan couldn't use it either. The "fire gun salvo" project, the firepower density and continuity, were more important than accuracy. He asked the carpenter to build a waterproof box on the observation deck, which stored ten well-loaded flintlock rifles at any time, which was reserved for Jacques' sniper use.

"What are they doing?"

It seems that this wet morning also allowed McLaren to stay awake all night to regain a little spirit, not so lifeless. He stood on the empty fort and looked in the direction of the pier with a telescope. When he saw strange things, he directly consulted the staff around him—the tone was a little low but still calm. Since he chose to raise the white flag, it seems that McLaren has become more mature overnight.

Also staying up all night, the exhausted captain of the musket also picked up the binoculars and joined the ranks of observation.

They saw that although the Portuguese "Louis" remained on his own "Siren", Elizabeth and his charge captain Auguste were carrying two four-star Fleute merchant ships. , Slowly left the port and headed east.

Flutter is a Dutch-made flute ship with weak firepower but huge cargo capacity and excellent sailing performance. It is the best ocean-going merchant ship. The two ships were very draught. Although all the sails on the three masts were opened, they could still only tow the heavy hull slowly towards the Port-au-Prince.

"It seems that he is trying to evacuate Trinidad, the greedy Portuguese." McLaren said jokingly, since the port fell, he has been mentally prepared for these.

"These two ships of the Eckert Chamber of Commerce ?! They dare to grab the cargo ships of the Chamber of Commerce? The Portuguese are really desperate! Is he trying to transport the loot first? Don't he want Trinidad?" The captain of the musket doubted that Trinidad's real wealth lies in his geographic location. Anyone who occupies this port can sell for a good price.

"No, it's a smart approach ..." McLaren shook his head without further explanation. "He has provoked one of the most powerful countries, so it doesn't matter what the chamber of commerce is. What's more, the relationship between the Eckert Chamber of Commerce and Morgan is not very clean. The reason they were robbed of the ship is not because Have their crews robbed the Governor's Mansion? ".

McLaren's last sentence says gritted teeth! Captain Musket grinned helplessly.

Because the Port of Trinidad was forcibly divided, the sailors and guards who fled had nowhere to go, and after nightfall. He returned to the fort once again and brought back the latest news. Only then did McLaren and his staff understand the cause and effect of the matter.

"If our fleet returns ..." Captain Musket finally said the most difficult question!

Theoretically. The commander and governor of the local fleet are half a level away, and they can refuse unreasonable orders during wartime, such as surrender ...

Therefore, if the fleet and the Kraken have a battle, as long as the Portuguese are defeated, the whole battle will be reversed in an instant, and it will become a win-win situation! The rest of the pirates were completely indifferent. But both McLaren and the Musketeer Captain knew that McLaren had two jobs, he and the temporarily appointed fleet commander. It is an absolute relationship between superiors and subordinates! He surrendered and the fleet had to surrender.

On one side is the honor of the nobility, on the other side is victory, McLaren is undoubtedly suffering!

Perhaps because of this, McLaren did not directly answer the question of the captain of the musket, "I still have a batch of muskets under the turret. Store it dry. Distribute the muskets. When the Portuguese evacuate, you will immediately take all the people and raid the governor's palace ... kill all the pirates over there! "

"There are not enough manpower!" Captain Muskete did not evade the difficulties. With one hundred people versus three hundred people, he doesn't think there will be a chance.

"Relax, and the local fleet of Trinidad!" McLaren's voice. Like the cold wind blowing through the gap of the glacier, "Wait until the local fleet returns. You will take my orders to meet them. I will officially appoint him as commander of the Trinidad local fleet! Please ask him for the honor of the kingdom war!

If he wins, please don't care about me as a captive. Prioritize the negotiation of port ownership; if he also fails, I will use my noble identity to bear all the consequences! I do n’t care if I am stepped into the water again, even if I am ashamed of being an aristocrat, or if I lose my inheritance, I just ask him to let go of all the burdens and fight with his opponent in an upright manner! As for the manpower you want ... After that, no matter whether we win or lose, we have enough manpower. "

Captain Muskete was horrified, McLaren! It really changed!

...

At noon, when the fledgling fleet returned to Trinidad in anger, they discovered that everything in the port had become unknown! The flag of the pirate was erected on the governor's house, and the white flag of shame fluttered on the fort, and the "Siren"? She was moored on the sea outside the port alone, waiting quietly for their return!

After the fleet and the turret exchanged couriers by boat, the Trinidad local fleet was silent! Only in this silence, suppressing the volcanic rage, burning the entire fleet! The Kraken was moving forward, accurately firing three shots in three directions, clearly delineating the "range of the battlefield", and then retreating to the side, leaving room for the Trinidad local fleet to station. .

The Trinidad Local Fleet sailed into the scheduled battlefield and launched a magnificent battle off the port of Trinian. The number of participating ships on both sides was one to three, and the summoned "Esmeralda" withdrew from this naval duel that had long disappeared in the middle of the era of great navigation.

However, this battle only lasted less than an hour ...

Driving the "Siren" to fight Lu Yuan again, showing a completely different style from before!

If the last time was an assassin in the shadows, then this time it was a lightly hushed cavalry!

He is no longer obsessed with letting the boat escape every shell without damage.

As long as it is a small-caliber cannon that can resist, he would rather get a salvo, rather than give up the fleeting fleet! So when the Kraken was bombarded by the boat "Rosario" and directly hit the blocking boat, then a precise chain shot fired and interrupted the main mast of the Obstacle. It's over now ...

Even if the Kraken becomes courageous and courageous, compared with her flexible and heroic fighting posture, the Galen and Merchant ships' awkward steering and difficulty in grabbing the wind, even in a small and unobstructed battlefield, Still being magnified indefinitely, that poor performance like an obese person keeps stabbing McLaren's eyes!

In the end, the four-star merchant ship "Ferrel" was interrupted by the rudder and rear mast, and withdrew from the battle; the six-star reconnaissance ship "Rosario" was boarded and raised a white flag; only the "Obstacle" Galen The sailing boat was broken until all three masts were broken. When the rudder exploded and the smoke was billowing across the ship. They continued to fight like a floating battery until McLaren ordered them to surrender.

After McLaren's staff evacuated the Obstacle with all the sailors. The equally scarred "Siren" stopped a hundred meters away and shot through the gunpowder bank of the Galen ship at once.

In the soaring flames of the "Barrier" exploding, she drew a beautiful arc and sailed away.

McLaren dressed the damaged Governor's costume as neatly as possible, leaned on the saber, leaned his hat against his chest, and stood alone on the fort, paying attention to the "Obstacle" about to sink.

Galen's sailing boat was burning with hula, several wounds. The huge trauma caused by the explosion has caused its hull to tilt seriously ...

At this time, his staff officers walked up the lane of the fort quickly.

"Sorry, sir! We ... lost." Officer No. 1 lowered his head deeply in front of McLaren, and the younger officers behind him cried out in silence.

McLaren looked at the officer staff, their bodies were covered with smoke and blood. Everyone has large and small wounds on their bodies, and exhaustion that rushes all day and night. Especially the middle-aged officer one, when he took off his hat and lowered his head. McLaren could clearly see in the middle of his pale hair, there was a huge wound that tore half of his scalp apart, just a simple bandage ...

"Thank you! You have done your best! You have shown the honor of the imperial navy to the enemy. Worthy of the military uniform on your body! Let us ... see you off for the" obstacle ". The rest, please leave it to me, the governor of the ineffective Right. "

"Your Excellency!" "Your Excellency!" They looked at McLaren in shock.

McLaren shook his head. Stand back towards the "Obstacle", which is about to sink.

The staff stopped the sound of persuasion and stood in a neat row behind him. Watching the galleon sailing quietly.

Three minutes later, the gunpowder warehouse on the west side of the ship was also ignited, and the Galen ship broke into two in a dazzling explosion ... When everyone's eyesight recovered from the white shadow, the ship had only two left The piece floated upwards towards the bottom of the boat, like the belly of a big fish, drifting toward the depths of the sea with the current.

It is said that in the depths of the sea, there is a city composed entirely of the wreckage of the ship. It is said that it is the place where the sea **** Kelibusuo was stationed in the earth, the final destination of every sunken ship ...

"That's Spain!" McLaren suddenly pointed at the shipwreck, and all the staff raised their heads in surprise.

"Let me ... speak the truth!" Ma Kailun rubbed his hat with his hand, and then slammed it aside. "The era of the jump port is over, the era of the Galen ship is over, even Spain. The age of the empire is about to pass! I can already see that in the future ships, only the gunner will suffice, and the Marine Corps will become dispensable ... What we have been reluctant to admit, today is all twenty The 16-pound gun was clearly displayed! "

McLaren paid a military salute to the staff, UU reading www.uukanshu. com "Everyone, after today ... I can no longer own the staff! You are all pillars of the Imperial Navy, and I will ask my father to arrange for you! Please accept my respect and be able to fight with you, It is an honor of my life! "

The staff looked at each other uncomfortably, and now the mature and self-contained McLaren seems completely different from the one they know! If it was the original person, probably the first thing to do was to cry to the father, and then put the responsibility on the staff.

Now McLaren is not only uncomfortable, but it also makes people really have the idea of ​​loyalty.

Therefore, the musket captain who most clearly saw McLaren's transformation stood up first, "Your Excellency, can you ask what you plan to do next?"

"I will join the British Navy as an ordinary person! The Portuguese used the British tactics. He can learn, and I can too! I want to learn more about the British Navy and their design ideas for ships. , And then brought back to Spain. "For the first time, his face showed a sincere smile that was neither arrogant nor aristocratic." The Galen ship is old, but my Spain is always young! "

"Your Excellency! Please let me follow you !!" (Unfinished to be continued ...) ()
