Reborn As a Pirate

Accurate blasting with ordinary black powder is a tedious affair.

First of all, they are packed in barrels, and because they are mainly used as propellant and primer, a large part of them are wrapped with paper shell bullets and gun cloth bags according to the needs of guns and artillery.

In order to completely change their functions, they must be unpacked and merged on site to produce explosives of considerable weight and placed in the right place, trying to achieve the greatest effect with the least damage, and strive not to leave a gun for the Spaniards.

Lorraine definitely didn't want to do this kind of tedious and meticulous work, and Hana had enough energy to spare, so as a matter of course, they had to leave all of them to Barto, who had a broken arm and could not be injured in the line of fire.

In the very center of the enemy camp, what kind of experience is it like to hold the opponent's supreme commander doing nothing?

In all fairness, there is no experience.

Barto made preparations for nearly two hours. During the process, two waves of people ran outside the auditorium to report the ground situation to Torresias.

The first news was that the chaos at Watergate had subsided, and that although the attackers had been repulsed, the grenadier troops had suffered heavy losses.

It is known that more than 40 people were killed in this attack, and more than 10 people were seriously injured. Among them, the most seriously injured person was the commander of the Grenada Grenadiers, Gonzalo de Ove Colonel Jesus.

The second message came less than 40 minutes after the first, and it was still a follow-up to the Watergate attack.

It was confirmed that Colonel Oviedo had died at the age of 33.

Lorraine didn't care too much about the Spanish colonial major who died young, he was more concerned with Torresias' response.

Perhaps it was because Lorraine was close at hand, or because Lorraine's hand had been holding the handle of the knife, Torresias was extremely cooperative. He did not allow anyone to enter the auditorium, all reports were made through the door, and at the end of the second report, he also prohibited the soldiers from continuing to report to the auditorium on the grounds of mourning by Major Oviedo.

After the mourning is over, I will go to the deputy head. Before that, I will report any changes to the deputy head!

These are his exact words.

Lorraine was amazed by the straightforwardness and boldness he showed in the process of seeking to survive.

If there is no secret information such as that I was kidnapped hidden in the words of those partition walls, if Torresias and others want to express their sincerity to the kidnappers,

He personally drove away the soldiers who might rescue him, and at the same time gave up the last chance to warn the garrison.

With his cooperation, the preparations for the blasting were finally completed.

Barto set up a simple delayed detonation device, leaving only the candle that activated the mechanism, waiting for Lorraine's final order.

So Lorraine looked at Torresias: Mr. Baron, I remember you said that there is a secret passage leading to the lake in the bunker...

Not long after, in the arsenal.

Under the command of Torresias, Lorraine personally resisted more than 20 barrels of fresh wheat flour piled up on the corner of the wall, and finally saw a secret door, which was actually hidden in the sundries warehouse of the arsenal.

Is this the secret way? Lorraine looked strange.

Torresias shrugged lazily: The auditorium is the command room of the fortress and a field hospital for temporary accommodation of war wounded soldiers. It is a matter of course to set up the secret passage in this area.

Are there guards in the secret passage?

No. The secret passage is a secret. Before the commander actually activates it, ordinary soldiers and mid- and lower-level officers are not qualified to know.

In that case...

Lorraine took out his pocket watch and checked the time. At 10:40, it was nearly three hours beyond the time limit agreed upon by him and Nelson.

Now he only hoped that Nelson would not misjudge their state as death and withdraw the troops ambushed in the rainforest before the thunder exploded.

If such a bad thing happened, Lorraine would leave Torresias behind as soon as he escaped from the bunker, and run as far as he could.

In short, the decisive moment is approaching.

Barto inserted the candle into the prepared candlestick and lit the fire.

The candle flame will burn the rope temporarily wrapped in thick wax at the upper end of the candle within 20 minutes, causing a pottery charcoal basin to fall down and shatter, igniting the lamp oil below.

The starting ends of a total of sixteen explosive cables were all soaked in this can of lamp oil, and the lamp oil had already been absorbed by this time, and they became instantly ignited.

They will act as channels for the flames until all the explosives buried in the guns and in the cracks of the walls are ignited.

Boom!

Lorraine simulated the final explosion in his mind and couldn't help but smile.

He told Torresias: There are still 20 minutes, we should go.

...

At this time, the lakeside pier.

Daniel stared at the slender figure of the San Carlos not far away over and over again.

His task is to seize the ship.

Unlike Lorraine who was alone, he was surrounded by capable sailors, and even Leff was supplemented by Lorraine.

Daniel knew in his heart that Lorraine reinforced Leif in order to prevent the appearance of Blackbeard.

However, Daniel didn't think Blackbeard would appear tonight.

The movement of the Watergate attack was much louder than when the Port Authority did not attack, gunshots, whistles, shouts, screams...

Daniel watched with his own eyes some resting soldiers gathering in a small square not far away. A total of forty or fifty people formed a strict and thick temporary line together, and marched towards the water gate for reinforcements with the sound of drums.

It was they who made Blackbeard swallow the bitter pill of failure again.

Daniel found out that although the Grenadier troops suffered heavy losses, they also caused huge damage to the attackers.

Blackbeard took more than 20 people, but only 7 actually came out. Two of the remaining 13 were captured, and 11 died in the chaos.

Soon new news came through, that Oviedo was dead, and the resentful soldiers vented their resentment and anger on the captives. In just a moment, the two captives were tortured to death one after another.

It's just that even such a major event has come to an end, and Lorraine and others who sneaked into the civilian army camp still have no news.

Were they captured too?

Could it be that tonight's actions have already been leaked, and the militia battalion is simply a net?

After all, without this level of defense, it would be really hard for some sailors in the region to imagine being able to pose a threat to Lorraine and Henna.

The key is what should Daniel do?

Do you want to lead the sailors around you to imitate Blackbeard's raid on Minato and rescue Lorraine, or give Lorraine unconditional trust, believing that he is just being held back by something, and the explosion used as an order will explode anytime and anywhere?

Then again, when will this damn thunder explode?

Good San Carlos, now is the most suitable time to seize it!

Because of the Minato War earlier, the sailors on the ship had been transferred to only a dozen or so people, and the enemy was in the dark.

With the help of Leif's combat power, it is even possible to snatch the San Carlos with zero casualties at this time.

But Lorraine's request was to wait for the thunder to explode...

Daniel was a ship's doctor, a surgeon before that, a barber in London, and a respected and feared alchemist.

He himself is not good at fighting. After joining the flagship of Lorraine, he only learned the basics of sailors. He never really commanded sailors, nor participated in the discussion of combat plans.

Everything in front of him felt strange to him, and the strangest thing was his intuitive feeling of being in a dilemma.

Should we stick to the pre-war plan?

As he was thinking, Leif strode into the door.

Daniel Solander, what are you waiting for? The scout said that Mara came out of the Port Authority with the sailors, and it seemed that they were about to board the ship. When they boarded the ship, the dozen or so of us would not be able to grab the cloth. Regency!

But Thunder...

Damn it, the captain used the explosion as a starting signal to increase our chances of robbing the ship. The defense on the ship is weaker than the original plan after Thunderbolt. You tell me that you are going to miss this opportunity and wait for Thunderbolt and maybe even more How many defenders?

this……

Have you forgotten the captain's request to us? After grabbing the boat, immediately head north along the lakeshore, leave the pier, and pick up the crew. He specifically said that there is no need to wait for him, and the implication is to let us judge the time of the shot. You know, judge for yourself!

real?

Daniel still had some doubts in his heart, but just like Leif, he couldn't bear the temptation of San Carlos to defend the emptiness in the end.

He swallowed his saliva several times in the dark, raised his finger and pointed at the lonely Brigantine battleship more than a hundred meters away.

The battle to seize the ship. All...

Kill! Boom!!!!!!!!!!
