0206 Hell
The heat waves, the flames, the screams, the wailings, the roaring of the cannon and the cacophony of the collapse of the houses, the swallowing of the water as the ships and the docks sank, the beeping of wood and grease, and the whimper of the wind......
Lerobert fell into the sixth layer of hell, and the end of the burning world was burning, and the bright red fire connected to the sky, igniting the dense clouds like cotton wool in the sky.
And the author of all this, Lorraine, recited poetry on the side of the ship.
【Enter the City of Endless Pain Through Me】
[Through me into the pit of eternal misery]
[Enter the Doomed Crowd through me]
Justice pushes my exalted Creator
[I am a work of theocracy, sanity and divine love]
There was no eternal creation before me.
[I will be with heaven and earth for a long time]
"Those who come in will give up all hope......
Acharin stopped his hurried steps and glared at Lorraine angrily.
"A heretic who claims to be God's love, captain, you really don't take God's damnation seriously."
Lorraine chuckled indifferently: "The inscription of the gates of hell sings the praises of Satan, which is originally a blasphemous language for God believers. ”
"The God in the poem is not your God, and the Creator in the poem is not the same thing as your Lord. In short, even if there is a natural curse, the person who presides over the divine punishment is definitely not the only true god, and the profession is not right. ”
Acharin listened to it with a sweat: "If it's really Satan's words, normal people should be more worried, right?" ”
"Worried? Why? Lorraine pretended to be puzzled and spread her hand, "In this world, God has monopolized too many believers, which means that except for him, the rest of the gods are all devilish minorities and wretched creatures. ”
"The same is the end of the world, the relationship between Niold and Mr. Satan is not bad, and occasionally borrowing the name to sing things, Mr. Satan can't make things bigger."
And, even from a commercial point of view, small churches like theirs can only effectively expand their social impact through small means such as caring for each other's believers. Giving the pagans a permanent sense of God's favor and receiving after-faith services far superior to God's followers is the most effective means for the small churches to survive in the midst of cruel competition. ”
"So, why should I worry?"
Lorraine's rhetorical question hit Acharin's blind spot, and Acharin stole like a candle for a long time, then suddenly turned around and slapped the back of the head of the nearest gunner.
"No hurry! No! Ground attack is different from ship combat, the attack state is basically fixed, and the target is so huge that there is no possibility of loss! ”
"Ship combat is about rapid fire! The whole ship did everything in their power to grab a few minutes or even a minute of firing time, during which the gunners had to throw as much ammunition as possible and inflict heavy damage on nimble opponents! ”
"Stability is important in ground warfare! Firing every two minutes is the most suitable frequency for suppressing shots, and the high temperature and energy efficiency of the projectile can be completely released. You don't need to deliberately adjust the muzzle of the gun, the undulation of the waves will naturally pull the bullet point, taking into account the breadth and density of the explosion! ”
"Now, one set of live ammunition and two sets of chain ammunition, please treat this battle as a shooting exercise, cooperate with the group, and complete every action accurately!"
"Return the car! Clear the chamber! Fill the medicine! Crush! Reload! Get in the car! Lock the wheels! Put! ”
Under the hysterical command of Yacharin, another round of artillery bombardment was fired, and thick smoke rose into the sky from left to right, and the deafening roar was incessant.
The red-hot projectile flew high and leaped over a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, drawing an upward arc between the two collapsed batteries from the dock to the dwellings.
A solid bullet hit the Slupp fishing boat at berth 2 straight and pierced through the deck, breaking through the hull and blasting a large hole.
The sea poured into the cabin in a frenzy, and the slender fishing boat sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At least three more shells hit the moored ship, the most effective chain bullet spun and wrenched a skuna's mainmast, more projectiles hit the boardwalk, the No. 4 plank road column broke, and the floating island at sea lost its center of gravity and rolled up into a huge twist.
From the twelfth shell, the point of impact began to touch the land.
Even though the ship's guns could not use the most advanced grenades, the sunny and hot projectiles caused the wooden huts to ignite at the touch of a button, and the fire roared into the depths of the town.
Lorraine silently looked at the smoke and flames in the firelight, just like the two of them had been when he had spoken loudly in front of Acharin.
He saw three ships begin to lift anchor forcibly, two of the Skuna type, and a slave ship no smaller than the Golden Deer, racing against time to try to set sail.
Lorraine sneered.
"The Lucky Horseshoe stopped firing and met the docks. Summoned to Captain Judea, he said that the slave ship was good, and that he was troubled to take it for the Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Yes!"
The order was quickly conveyed to Bell through the change of flags, and of the three fleeing ships, the Skuna type at berth 6 had begun to turn around.
Bell lifted his lookout and glanced at it, and gave the order aloud.
"Command! The whole ship immediately stopped firing, the deck was in position, the side was ready, the left was full of rudders, the full mast was full of sails, the 20-degree turn of the truss, and the wind was ready. Lucky Horseshoe, meet the enemy! ”
The Lucky Horseshoe moved, its muzzle retracted, and the sails wide open, and she broke through the water in the strong winds of the night, turned the bow of the ship in the vast bay, and slid across the shelling surface of the Golden Deer.
She is obviously a new ship with improvised sailors, but Hainan Airlines is a science that absolutely applies to group behavior, and the barrel theory does not apply to ships.
In other words, with the subtle command of the commander, the barrels on the ship can probably roll over within a certain range, avoid the soft underbelly, and hold more liquid in the barrels.
Bell used his professional skills to revive the Lucky Horseshoe, she may still stumble, and her trajectory may still have subtle twists and turns, but she did touch the benchmark threshold of a powerful warship, and in front of the fishing boats and slave ships on the opposite side, she displayed a terrifying aura like a giant beast.
Superior in firepower, defense, navigation, and location, the Lucky Horseshoe, which came out of the assault, pressed its enemies in the narrow sea area of the port, sank the outgoing Skuna by close fire, and forcibly occupied the T-head position, and smashed the main and auxiliary masts of another Skuna with four rounds of artillery fire.
Just thirty minutes later, Bell was in a high-profile way out of the unfavorable situation of one-on-three, and chased the frightened behemoth on the sea, catching the sea breeze.
Victory was only a matter of time.
Slave ships are common special-purpose ships in this era, and there is no limit to the type of ship, but in order to adapt to their special purposes, most of them have been specially modified.
For example, the slave ship in front of her is based on the same Bagg type as the Jackdaw, ranking at the fifth level, with two vertical and forward crossings.
The Bagg was not originally a battleship, and was not as stable and stocky as the Galen in terms of materials and structure, and the modification of the slave ship further weakened its firepower.
There were six twelve-pounder guns in the bow and stern, and eight nine-pounder guns were retained on the main deck, and the gun bay, which was originally the most powerful, was completely enclosed, greatly increasing the space for loading people and supplies, but pulling out its own important minions.
With her current combat power, she can't pose a threat to the Lucky Horseshoe in sports warfare, but once she falls into the hands of Lorraine, she can become the top armed merchant ship of the Caribbean Chapter at this stage with a simple modification.
Both Lorraine and Bell knew this, so Bell preferred to be careful rather than cause too much damage to the hull of the slave ship.
While protecting the Golden Deer, which had lost its mobility, and expelling the slave trading ship, an hour passed in a flash.
The sky is exposed to the white belly of the fish, the white in the east, the red in the west, and the golden red between the clouds in the sky, and the wind sweeps through the wilderness, soaked in the cold.
Heavy rain is coming......
Lorraine scanned the sea with a binocular, and saw Lerobel almost in ruins, a shipwreck like a cemetery by the dock, a desperate human wandering in the fire, and two assault boats drifting far away, quietly undulating in the safe sea.
Henna, Noah, Pierce, and the still fat white ears......
Everyone is safe!
For the first time in the night, Lorraine laughed from the bottom of her heart.
"Contact the assault boat to return and bring back the warriors who have worked hard all night."
Lorraine casually threw the scope away.
"Yacharin, the purpose of the ground has basically been achieved, now let's move on to precision strikes, let's put an end to it."
"Yes, sir."
Acharin breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to say something more about the lively atmosphere, when suddenly, the alarm sounded.
"Lucky Horseshoe Emergency Contact! The Channel Française fleet appears! The Channel Française fleet appears! The Badger and the Wasp are out to meet the enemy, so get ready for battle! ”
Lorraine was slightly stunned.
"Delicate timing...... he muttered, "Looks like we're underestimating our opponents, my Nelson...... Admiral. ”
