Bad things will be late, but they will never be there.

In particular, Lorraine also dressed up as a neighbor Lao Wang and smashed open the door of the earl's house, breaking the surveillance on the courtyard wall, as long as he covered his face, the thieves could act in the name of Lao Wang, and they would never have to worry about revenge afterwards.

Count Galvis, until the end of the Battle of New Orleans, was one of the most cost-effective persecutors in contemporary America.

The assassination attempt, which the British had been preparing for more than ten days, finally began.

The first shots were fired in the middle of the jungle, where a resting squad fell into a trap and, after paying the terrible price of three dead and three wounded, managed to rely on the overgrown oak trees to make a comeback and form a stalemate with the attacking Indians.

Before the information could be transmitted back to Lieutenant Colonel Erwin in the distance, the battle broke out on all fronts, spreading from the south to the north.

The gunfire quickly alarmed the Earlguards, who were roaming the lakeside, and Karen and Ero, who were sitting in a substitute carriage, glanced at each other, and ordered the guards to change formation and pass through the war zone as fast as they could.

They had not been summoned to Lorraine, and the present situation did not require a special arraignment at all.

Lorraine's sailors on the foremast had never let the count's convoy out of view, and the news of their change of formation reached Lorraine's ears as soon as it came.

"At war?"

Lorraine leaped to her feet, squinting at the calm surface of the lake in front of her.

"A full inspection of the five kilometers of water ahead! Every ship is thoroughly inspected! Gun doors, decks, don't miss a single gun! ”

"Raise the pirate flag! The helmsman is in place! Sail in place! The gunner is in position! Katerina, go command the artillery! Noah, let the sailors run! ”

The deck was busy, and the Jackdaw's not tacit sailors arrived at the post as fast as possible under the command of 20 veteran sailors.

The two side gun doors opened one after another, and the black hole muzzle poked its head out of the gun bay and headed towards the lake.

Pierce quickly spotted the target.

"12 o'clock direction, 3 km away, one Skuna type; At 2 o'clock, at a distance of 5.5 km, 1 Brigentine, with the gun door wide open, at 10 o'clock, at a distance of 2 km, 1 ship of the Sloop type, with artillery found on the deck! ”

"Three!" Lorraine gritted his teeth, "Let Clen slow down and avoid the shelling line." Jackdaw assault, sails, wingsails fully open, target Sloop type, forward! ”

……

Advance!

The Jackdaw has the most top-of-the-line high-speed ship design, and it sails downwind, and with the sails and wings fully open, even in the breeze, it still barely reaches a speed of more than 6 knots.

The Slopp, who was close at hand, was again preoccupied with the Earlguard, which was about to reach the best firing position, and almost came to a standstill on the lake, and the Jackdaw quickly climbed to 11 kilometers per hour, breaking through the water and sailing forward.

Just a moment later, Lorraine, standing at the bow, saw Slupp's sails.

Pierce shouted overhead, "Brigentine anomaly!" She's spotted us and is charging at us! ”

"Slow down the Guards! The Earl Guard has slowed down and is trying to approach the jungle! Land Encounter! ”

Lorraine twisted her head sharply!

The guards encountered the enemy at the edge of the forest, about a dozen men, but their formation was not rigorous, and they did not form a continuous momentum.

Such an enemy was not so much a deliberate ambush as a straggler who had been driven out of the woods, and was quickly pressed back into the forest in the face of the guards.

Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief and ordered aloud: "Clen can take care of these bits and pieces of Indians!" Regardless of them, the course remains the same! Bow guns, shotshots! ”

Eighteen pounds of loose iron balls poured into the bow guns as fast as they could, and under Katarina's command, they aimed at the low, rudimentary Sloop-type sloop directly ahead.

It was only then that the clumsy fake fishing boat began to react in a decent way, and the panicked sailors raised their, forgetting that they had lowered the anchor to the bottom of the lake in order to stabilize the hull as much as possible......

The Slupp type is 500 meters away, the Skuna type is 1.5 km away, and Brigentine is 2 km away.

Caterina shouted, "Fire!" ”

Two cannon shots rang out, and the heavy guns in the bow of the ship, which had high hopes, smashed into the air without any suspense, setting off a large splash.

Lorraine was expressionless, holding her arms and just ordering the Jackdaw to go straight!

400 meters, 300 meters......

Sloop finally pulled up their anchor and flicked the sail in an attempt to escape.

Lorraine raised his head and glanced at Brigentine, who was showing the shadow of the sail on the northwest side: "Prepare for shelling on both sides, load solid shells, helmsman on standby, and sylon sail on standby." Rangefinder, every 50 meters. ”

"Yes!"

"Distance 250, distance 200,...... Distance 100, distance 50! ”

"Right rudder fifteen! Turn the sails! Lorraine ordered in a loud voice.

Henna turned the wheel at the first moment of Lorraine's order, without even waiting for the sound to reach her ears. The massive hull of the Jackdaw made a huge roll arc, almost clinging to the tiny Slupp to complete the turn.

The surface of the lake stirred up huge waves, and the huge waves grabbed the little shadow of the boat, lifting her up and raising her again!

"Full port launch, fire!"

Rumble! Boom Boom! Boom!

A full 10 twelve-pounder guns opened fire in turns, at a distance of more than 20 meters, at an almost equal altitude, and bombarded the helpless Slupp type in turn.

Lorraine saw with her own eyes the desperate faces of the sailors on board.

This expression didn't last long, and even if Caterina was no longer good at artillery battles, two out of ten shells would have hit Slop's hull.

And for such a small boat, a twelve-pound run would be enough to tear her apart......

"Confirm! Sloup sinks! The signal from the lookout rang out one after another, "Brigenting is 700!" Relative speed 7.5 knots, cut the side ready! ”

"Starboard shelling, target directly in front of the water, fire!"

Lorraine issued an unbelievable order, and Caterina did not have time to think about it, so she immediately responded.

The Jackdaw, in the rudder, fired a bombardment at the empty lake, and ten shells roared and exploded the water, forming a mist that blocked the way in front of Brigentine, and also blocked the Jackdaw.

But the response to the two is very different.

The Jackdaw returned to the rudder and plunged headlong into the mist, and Brigentine, in order to avoid the possibility of collision in the fog area, chose to continue to pull away and make a detour into the distance.

"Intend to avoid the battle by cutting the side and go around to shell the Earl's convoy? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world......" Lorraine sneered and shook his head, "Go up and cut the enemy's bow sideways!" Prepare for the port shelling! Prepare for the broadboard! Prepare for the crash! ”

He strode down the bow deck, the command in his mouth not stopping for a moment.

"The boarding time is controlled to five minutes, Noya, and 30 sailors will be mobilized to board the ship with me."

"Yes, Captain!"

Pierce continued to monitor Skuna in the distance, with Caterina taking command of the Jackdaw and Henna at the helm. After the shipwreck, the battleship will not stop, and your task is to sink or capture the Skuna, and don't let that little guy escape! ”

"Yes! Captain! ”

Lorraine took a deep breath: "The taste of victory, and the taste of harvest...... Jackdaw, forward. ”

Crash!

Breaking through the crest of the waves, the Jackdaw's high bow tore through the mist and rushed straight ahead!
