Chapter 63 The whole army attacks

"How long until we get to Port Royal!"

Looking at the blue sky, Lord Beckett asked the captain beside him.

He came to the Caribbean on the orders of King George II to expand British power.

After hundreds of years of war, the British defeated the Dutch, the French and their most powerful enemy, the Spanish, and now have become the most powerful country in Europe.

It's just that Britain's rise has been too fast and has now caused dissatisfaction in various countries on the European continent. Therefore, George II felt that he should not continue to stimulate other countries at this time to avoid being attacked by a group, so he decided to send a fleet to the Caribbean to search for wealth. .

This decision of the British is obviously extremely correct, because in history, it relied on this hand to transform it from a mere island country into an empire on which the sun never sets!

"There are still twenty nautical miles to reach Port Royal. We will probably arrive at noon when the tide is highest!" Arnold, the captain of the Endeavor, quickly took out his pocket watch and counted the water patterns before answering.

The captain on a ship should have been the largest, but as Lord Beckett was the commander-in-chief of this fleet, he wanted to set his flagship on the Endeavor, so Arnold naturally did not dare to say anything.

"Tsk tsk! If His Majesty the King knew that the mighty Port Royal was actually occupied by a pirate, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he wouldn't be able to sleep well!" Beckett curled his lips. On the way here, he also considered what excuse he should use to seize Weatherby. Swann's power was taken away, and the result now seems to be completely useless.

That guy Weatherby Swann actually gave Port Royal to a pirate from the East, and by the way, he married his daughter!

No matter what excuses the other party has or what kind of connections he has in London, with these two crimes, he can directly order him to be hanged.

Captain Arnold was submissive and didn't know what to say. Lord Beckett held a high position and was said to have a good personal relationship with King George II, so it was no big deal for him to tease the king.

But I'm not a big deal, if I dare to answer the question, I might be charged with contempt for the royal power, and I'll go to jail to spend the rest of my life!

"Did the spy report back?" Sitting at the dining table on the second deck, Lord Beckett asked as he picked up a slice of watermelon with a silver fork.

"The patrol ship just reported that Port Royal is currently under martial law. It is said that the Oriental seems to have ordered the pirates and traitors to prepare for a stubborn resistance!" Captain Arnold read out the information he received from the spy.

"Uh?" Lord Beckett stopped what he was doing and made a confused sound.

"Those people didn't escape?"

He put down the silver fork in his hand, took the information from Arnold, and immediately frowned.

Beckett originally thought that with the panic he displayed, the other party would definitely roll up all the wealth in Port Royal and escape.

Because the terrain of Port Royal is so good, even if Beckett feels that he can definitely take down Port Royal with his own strength, if the enemy is determined to fight to the death, he will have to pay the price of several ships at least.

Beckett has always pursued the purpose of doing the most things with the least money, so he let the entire Caribbean know that he had led fifty warships.

When he thought about it, since the other party knew that he was leading such an unstoppable army, the best choice was to immediately pack up the wealth in Port Royal and escape by boat.

In this way, he can regain Port Royal without a single blow and avoid unnecessary losses.

As for the Oriental and Governor Swan who escaped?

A group of homeless dogs, unless they can go directly to the heart of America and become savages, sooner or later they will fall into their own hands.

But he never expected that the other party would not follow his script.

"My lord!" Captain Arnold couldn't help but remind him when he saw that the commander-in-chief was stunned.

Now they were less than ten nautical miles away from Port Royal, and they could already see the top of the port. At this time, the commander was in a daze. The people below really didn't know what to do.

"Pass my order, all ships line up in a row, and fire freely when they reach the firing range!" Beckett came to his senses immediately. After all, he was used to strong winds and waves, and small mistakes would not have any impact at all.

Since those guys are determined to seek death, then I won't let them go!

"Yes, sir!"

After receiving the order, Captain Arnold immediately ordered his sailors to start signaling. Soon all the warships were dispatched in a line, and thousands of artillery were pushed out.

at the same time!

"You devil, you are finally going to get your comeuppance!"

Although Miss Swan was a little depressed, she still cursed unyieldingly.

"If you don't want your mouth to be blocked, then you'd better be quiet!" Li Qingyuan frowned and said while holding Elizabeth Swann's chin.

This girl's spirit is really strong. With her ten points of fighting strength, she still has the energy to curse after a week of continuous fighting.

However, considering that the other party can become a pirate emperor after all, it is understandable that his combat power and recovery ability are stronger than ordinary people.

"Humph!"

After hearing the threat from the other party, Miss Swan shut her mouth angrily. After being locked in the room for more than two months, she finally came out to bask in the sun. She didn't want to be locked up again so soon.

"Lord Marquis, the enemy has appeared!" Lamuir gave Li Qingyuan a military salute, then pointed to the horizon and said.

"Uh, are you finally here?" Taking the telescope handed to him, Li Qingyuan saw a row of sails through the lenses.

"How far are they from us?" He put down the telescope and asked Lamuir.

"The enemy's warship should be nine nautical miles away from us now!" As a gunnery commander, judging the enemy's position is the most basic ability. Lamuel only needs to take a look to know how far the opponent is from himself.

After all, there is no auxiliary equipment these days. Whether it is wind direction, distance or elevation angle, all must be calculated by the human brain.

Therefore, experienced artillerymen are in demand no matter where they are.

"Nine nautical miles? So they still need half an hour?" Because he has gained a lot of knowledge about ships, Li Qingyuan knows that the fastest warship at present, even if the right time, place and people are all added, can only Can reach knots per hour.

Not to mention that the wind direction is wrong now, even if the wind direction completely helps the British warships, they will not be able to enter the range within half an hour.

Because no matter which country uses artillery these days, none has a range of more than three nautical miles!

Not to mention that the range of ship-based guns needs to be compromised because the ship's endurance must be considered.

If the British warship can enter the shooting range in half an hour, it is already considered as an extraordinary performance by the opponent!
