"Due north, 8.5 km, relative speed 3 knots!"

"Due south of the land direction, 4 kilometers, be wary of the rocky beach near the shore!"

"Cut into the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and everything is fine."

"Turn the rudder due west, and the personnel return to their positions."

"Closely monitor the distance to the coast, and report as soon as it changes."

"The captain ordered that the alert be lowered to the third level, the non-duty personnel are on standby, the dining room and divination are open, and unrelated deck activities are prohibited."

……

Lorraine drew a brightly colored arc on the chart, representing the Jackdaw's diagonal southward movement from its previous position, spanning about 3 kilometers from east to west and deflecting about 6 kilometers from north to south, before finally moving to its current position.

The speed of the ship did not decrease, the sail remained at the best cut-off angle, the sixth formation was also thrown off, and the Jackdaw officially cut into the Chesapeake, just south of the mouth of the bay.

The crew was not familiar with the sea, and the charts in their hands were ordinary products sold on the market, shoddy and extremely lacking in coastal details.

Due to problems with night vision, it was already difficult for them to continue their approach to the coast.

High speed, occlusion, lack of room for manoeuvre, and a strong enemy lurking next to the couch......

Lorraine knows it's nowhere near the point of rest, but Shaq's home character is such that the attacking side will have to endure and adapt to the slow-suffocating pressure if they don't have an overwhelming advantage to get into it.

If you don't adapt, you will mess up, and when you mess up, you will easily make mistakes, and the result of your wrong behavior will be thrown into a net, and when it is really stained with Shaq's spider silk, the death knell will ring in your ears.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom......

The bells of the Coastal Church rang through the wide sea, and the sound was so melodious that Lorraine was stunned to hear it.

It stands to reason that this was not very special, after all, Cape Henry was never a simple promontory, but a bustling town with thousands of people, and there was no shortage of church docks, and even coastal batteries to drive away pirates.

Worship, Mass, weddings, funerals, but whenever there is such a thing, it is the duty of the church to make a lively meeting and ring the bell to tell the above.

But when I thought of the death knell, I heard the death knell in my ears......

Lorraine took a few sips hatefully, and Caterina was at a loss.

"Captain, did a fish hit you in the mouth just now?"

"Jackdaw's broadside......" Lorraine wordlessly pointed to the shore, "Death Knell." ”

Caterina suddenly realized: "Probably which gentleman on the shore was honored by the lord." ”

"If you don't recruit early, you won't recruit late...... At this time, do you want to ventilate......"

Lorraine froze in place.

Ventilation message?

Shaq's circle is linked, and the movement mode is far more than a circle, and the blockade formation is also a part of the linkage, when the sixth formation arrives at the mouth of the bay......

From the north to the south, the door is closed and the road is closed...... The passable bay mouth then narrowed, removing the range of the No. 6 formation's surveillance, and all that remained was to block the possible positions of the formation.

Now the sixth formation is in the north, then the blockade formation is in the south......

The Jackdaw prepared two lookouts, Henna kept an eye on the Sixth formation farther and farther away, and Pierce was keeping an eye on the coast......

The front is in a temporary loss of vision, and if the blockade formation really spreads out in this direction, the result will be ......

Encounter!

Lorraine was shocked!

"Henna! Front! ”

He shouted, jumping up and looking at the bow.

In the deep and thick darkness, there seemed to be some huge shadow lurking together.

"Distance...... Distance 1200, relative speed 14 knots, frontal shadow, evasion! ”

"Right full rudder, dodge!"

"Collision warning! Roll Warning! Attack Warning! Avoid, avoid! ”

"They found us! The bow of the ship shelled, and the left rudder was bombed! ”

With a shout from the foredeck sailors, the roar of shelling followed.

In this short strain, the distance between the two sides was close to 800, and the Jackdaw cut to the right to avoid exposing the entire port side to the opponent's bow gun.

Artillery roars!

Lorraine saw the dazzling firelight, and immediately after, a huge splash exploded on the surface of the sea two or three hundred meters away from the Golden Deer.

"Bell, leave the shelling alone, keep cutting out, we need space!"

"I know!" Bell gritted his teeth in response, firmly, resolutely holding down the handwheel, desperately looking for an opportunity to switch back to the windward side at a limited angle.

Sharp turns are the enemy of speed!

With a moment's turn, the Jackdaw's speed dropped by nearly half, Bell quickly caught the wind, the hull of the ship gradually stabilized, and the speed began to slowly recover.

A sailor rushed out of the gun compartment and shouted to Lorraine: "Report to the captain, the port side is ready to return fire at any time!" ”

Lorraine took a deep breath: "The cannon door is fully open, meet the enemy when cutting the side, and tell Acharin, to disturb the enemy, don't let the recoil interfere with the center of gravity." ”

"Yes!"

As he spoke, the cut-side began, and the Jackdaw and the fifth-class ship on the opposite side passed by like two opposite parallel lines on the sea less than 300 meters away, the bow passing through the bow, and the port side facing the port side.

"The port side has been bombed! Circumvent! ”

Boom Boom! Boom Boom!

Both sides opened fire almost simultaneously, eighteen pounds of the fifth-class ship and twelve pounds of the jackdaw, and the cannon fire stirred up a storm in the narrow sea.

Bell nimbly cut a small cut angle of less than three degrees, avoiding the imminent course, so that the two shots that were most likely to hit missed, and fell right on the side of the Golden Deer.

Yacharin deftly anticipated Bell's response, firing from front to back from the side gun doors, not only adapting to the change in the ship's center of gravity, but also hitting the opponent's hull with good luck, causing the opponent to panic.

The dangerous cutting side ended in a blink of an eye, and the two ships separated, 300, 350, 400...... The distance is getting farther and farther.

Henna tracked the vague enemy shadow and shouted a warning: "The enemy ship cuts to the left, shelling!" The stern of the ship has been bombed! ”

There was another round of continuous roar, and the cannon fire was fired from a distance of 500 meters, and the splash of water exploded in the stern of the Jackdaw, and the waves set off against the hull of the ship, shaking the hull violently.

Lorraine grabbed a sailor who had rolled out, and nailed his feet to the deck.

"Damn British speed, I kind of know how people feel when they're facing us!"

Caterina stood beside him helplessly, with a cord already tied around her waist.

"Found out, Captain. Next, British warships will surround like sharks that smell blood......"

"Who made their Admiral a shark?" Lorraine sneered, "Things haven't exceeded expectations yet, at least the sixth formation and the ship that was thrown off just now can't catch up with us for the time being, we can look forward." ”

"You look a little excited."

"Damocles feared not because of the sharpness of the sword of the overhang, but because the thin horse's mane would break at some point. Now that the sword has fallen, catch it, dodge it, and the winner of this banquet will be us. ”

The more smiles on Lorraine's face, the more cheerful she became.

"Bell, get the wind back! The rabbit's weapon is speed, and if we have trouble with our legs and feet, we deserve to be eaten by lions! ”

"Looking!" Bell stared at the weathervane without raising his head, "Also, lions hate rabbits because they have so little meat that they can't even fill their teeth!" ”

"We're fat bunnies." Lorraine slapped the guardrail at his hand and clenched tightly, "Dionysius, as noble as you, really have to hide behind the heavy curtain?" I'm looking forward to it......"

"Distance 1400, azimuth eleven o'clock, huge ship shadow, judging the bow, HMS Lion battleship!"

"The distance is close, firelight! Shelling! ”

"The bow is bombed, evade!"

Rumble! Boom Boom!
