Precise blasting with ordinary black powder is a tedious task.

First of all, they were barrels, and because they were mainly used as propellants and primers, a large part of them were wrapped in paper shell bullets and cannon cloth packs according to the needs of muskets and artillery.

In order to completely change their function, it is necessary to unpack and merge them on the spot, make explosives of any quantity, and place them in the right place, trying to achieve the maximum effect with the least damage, and try not to leave a single gun for the Spaniards.

Lorraine definitely didn't want to do this kind of tedious and meticulous work, and Henna didn't have enough energy to spare, so of course, she could only throw it all to Barto, who had a broken arm and couldn't get out of the line of fire.

What is it like to be in the center of the enemy camp, holding the opposing supreme commander doing nothing?

In all fairness, there was no experience.

Barto's preparations lasted nearly two hours, during which two waves of people ran outside the auditorium to report to Torresias on the ground.

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

More than 40 people are known to have been killed and more than 10 seriously wounded in the attack, among which the highest rank and most seriously wounded were the commander of the Grenada Grenadier Unit, Gonzalo. Morality. How many colonels in Ovieer.

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

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

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

Perhaps because Lorraine was so close at hand, or because Lorraine's hand was always on the hilt, Torresias was extremely cooperative. He did not let anyone into the Great Hall, all the reports were made through the door, and at the end of the second report, he forbade the soldiers to continue to report to the Great Hall on the grounds that Colonel Ovie was mourning.

"After the mourning is over, I will go to the deputy head of the regiment. Until then, report to the deputy head of the regiment if everything changes! ”

That's what he said.

Lorraine was amazed at the simplicity and boldness he showed in his quest to survive.

If the words of the wall had not concealed secret information that I had been kidnapped, Torresias and the others, in order to show their sincerity to the kidnappers, had personally driven away the soldiers who might have rescued 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.

Bartow set up the improvised delayed detonation device, leaving only the candle to activate the mechanism, waiting for Lorraine's final orders.

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

Not long after, in the arsenal.

Under the command of Torresias, Lorraine personally fought against the mountain of more than twenty barrels of fresh wheat flour stacked in the corner, and finally saw a secret door, which was actually hidden in the miscellaneous warehouse of the arsenal.

"This is the secret passage?" Lorraine's face was strange.

Torresias shrugged his shoulders lazily: "The auditorium is the command room of the ramparts and the field hospital that temporarily houses the wounded soldiers of the war, so it is a matter of course to set up the secret passage in this area. ”

"Are there guards in the secret passages too?"

"Nope. The secret passage is classified, and ordinary soldiers and middle- and lower-ranking officers are not qualified to know about it until the commander actually activates it. ”

"In that case......

Lorraine took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and at 10:40, it was nearly three hours ahead of the time he had agreed with Nelson.

Now all he could hope was that Nelson wouldn't miscalculate their state as death, and withdraw the troops that had been lying in ambush in the rainforest before the thunder exploded.

If such an unfortunate thing had happened, Lorraine would have left Torresias behind as soon as he escaped from the bunker, and he would run as far as he could.

In short, the decisive moment is coming.

Barto inserts the candle into the prepared candlestick and lights the fire.

The candle flame will burn the rope with thick wax at the top of the candle within 20 minutes, causing a clay charcoal basin to smash and shatter, igniting the lamp oil below.

The beginning of a total of sixteen explosive cords were all soaked in this jar of oil, which had already been absorbed by this time, and had become flammable at the touch of a button.

They serve as a conduit for flames until they ignite all the explosives buried in the guns and cracks in the walls.

Boom!

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

He said to Torresias: "There are 20 minutes left and we should go. ”

……

At this time, the lakeside pier.

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

His mission was to seize the ship.

Unlike Lorraine's solitary appearance, he was surrounded by capable sailors, and even Leif was replenished by Lorraine.

Daniel knew in his heart that Lorraine had strengthened Leif in order to prevent Blackbeard from appearing.

However, Daniel didn't think Blackbeard would show up tonight.

The Watergate attack was much louder than the Port Authority's attack, with gunshots, whistles, shouts, screams......

Daniel watched as a number of resting soldiers assembled in the small square not far away, a total of forty or fifty men, together in a strict and thick temporary line, accompanied by the beat of drums, to reinforce in the direction of the water gate.

It was they who allowed Blackbeard to swallow the bitter fruit of the failure of the operation once again.

Daniel inquired that the grenadiers, despite their heavy losses, had also inflicted great casualties on the attackers.

Blackbeard brought more than 20 people, and only 7 actually came out of it. Of the remaining 13, two were captured and 11 died in the chaos.

Soon new news came in, Oviedo was dead, and the disgruntled soldiers took out their anger and anger on the captives, and in just a few moments the two captives were tortured to death.

It's just that even such a major event has come to an end, and Lorraine and the others who mixed into the civilian army camp still don't have any news.

Have they also been taken prisoner?

Could it be that tonight's operation has already been leaked, and the militia camp is simply a net?

After all, without this level of defense, it is really hard for a few sailors to imagine that they can pose a threat to Lorraine and Henna.

The point is what to do with Daniel himself?

Do you want to take the sailors around you to follow Blackbeard's example and raid the Watergate and rescue Lorraine, or do you want to give Lorraine unconditional trust, believing that he is just being held back by something, and the explosion that will be used as an order will explode anytime and anywhere?

Then again, when the hell is this damn thunder going to explode?

San Carlos is the perfect time to take it!

Previously, because of the battle at Watergate, 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 Lef's combat power, the snatching of the San Carlos at this time may even lead to clean sheet casualties.

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

Daniel was a ship doctor, a surgeon before he became a ship doctor, a shaver in London, and a respected and feared alchemist.

He himself was not good at combat, and after joining Lorraine's flagship, he only learned the basics of seafaring, never really commanding sailors, nor did he participate in the discussion of battle plans.

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

Should we stick to our pre-war plans?

He was thinking when Leif strode through the door.

"Daniel. Soland, what exactly are you waiting for? The scout said that Marat had come out of the port authority with the sailors, apparently preparing to board the ship. When they get on the boat, we can't snatch Brigenting with a dozen of us! ”

"But Thunder ......"

"Hell, the captain used the explosion as a starting signal to increase our weight in grabbing the ship. Now that the garrison on the ship is weaker than after the original plan for Thunder, you tell me that you are ready to let go of this opportunity and wait for Thunder and maybe more defenders? ”

"This ......"

"Have you forgotten what the captain asked of us? Immediately after grabbing the boat, head north along the shore of the lake, leave the dock, and pick up the crew. He deliberately said that there was no need to wait for him, and the implication was that we should judge the time of the shot ourselves. You know, judge for yourself! ”

"Really?"

Daniel was still a little skeptical, but like Leif, he couldn't resist the temptation of San Carlos to defend the emptiness.

He swallowed several times in the shadows, and raised his hand to point at the lone Brigentine battleship more than a hundred meters away.

"Seize the ship. All ......"

"Kill!" "Boom !!!!!!!!!"
