Walking through the streets, the city is littered with corpses. Chaos is spreading, and fires are burning everywhere. Drunken pirates roamed the streets, fighting with fire and stimulating the bestiality of these people. The pirates grabbed the woman by the hair and dragged her into the house, and wails could be heard everywhere.

The rebels are just as formidable as the enemy, and Chen's squad must carefully navigate the chaotic streets in full gear. By the time he arrived at the plaza, Wayne had cleared the warehouse and bell tower. He set up his headquarters on the bell tower, and two light guns built simple barricades in the streets, and the muzzles of the guns suppressed the gates of the harbor batteries.

Roberts was sitting in a chair, sipping on wine, his body covered with traces of gunsmoke, and he looked tired.

"Where's Wayne?"

Roberts stretched out his finger and pointed to his head, "The top of the bell tower." ”

Chen Shouxu asked the chief to lead the team to rest in the bell tower, and he walked up the stairs. Next to the bronze bell, Wayne was looking at the battery through a telescope that had been pulled open.

"How's it going?" Wayne asked.

"The two batteries on the east side have been taken, and I have sent someone back to inform the fleet. What about your side? ”

"The organized resistance in the city has been broken down, and some of the enemy has retreated into the batteries."

Chen Shouxu also opened the binoculars, the Belize pirates' batteries in the harbor were not high, like the seaside batteries, the heavy artillery on the bottom was rushing into the river, and there were some light cannons for anti-personnel on the upper level.

From time to time, the flames of the muzzle flames flashed on the battery, and the resistance was very resolute. The outer wall also caused a lot of trouble for our side, and Belizean pirates climbed on the top of the wall and shot deadly projectiles outward.

Chen Shouxu observed for a while, "There are at least sixty or seventy people. ”

"Probably more. According to the captives' confessions, there were still some black slaves inside the walls. If it weren't for the two light cannons that were dragged up, they would have rushed out. ”

At this moment, two bolts of muzzle flames, much brighter than before, erupted from near the gate, and the sound of cannons rang out almost simultaneously. Solid shells smashed down the streets into improvised artillery barricades.

Wayne scolded, "8-pound gun!" ”

"They're dragging the heavy artillery out of the battery!"

After several rounds of shelling, the improvised battery was destroyed, and the gunners were forced to abandon the artillery and flee into the houses on both sides. The Belizean pirates took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack.

"Damn the dog, it's going to work together." Wayne scolded. Fortunately, Rabush's men also arrived, and reinforcements came. The besieged Belizean pirates were outnumbered and retreated back to the battery after a fierce fight.

As if to vent, the two heavy guns of the Belizean pirates continued to shell the surrounding houses aimlessly, destroying the wooden houses one by one.

Wayne's fist slammed into the wall, "It's hard to take down this turret tonight." ”

"Hold down the gates of the battery to prevent them from rushing out. We'll fight again tomorrow. Chen Shouxu pointed to the chaotic order in the city, "The city also needs to be rectified." ”

Wayne nodded and walked down the stairs, Chen Shouxu following behind him.

At this time, Ravouch also came to the bell tower.

Wayne himself must sit in the bell tower and can't get out. With the three captains in front of him, Bush going to put order in order will make the city even more chaotic. He looked at Chen Shouxu and Roberts, thought about it for a while, and began to assign tasks.

"Captain Roberts, you gather your men and patrol the streets to restore order in the city as soon as possible. I want to see your results before dawn. "After all, Roberts had been a captain in Barbados' city defense army, and it was fitting that he was given this task.

"Captain Order, with our current firepower, it is impossible to capture the harbor battery. I hand over the captives and slaves to you, and drag the twelve-pounder guns of the coastal batteries over as soon as possible. ”

"Captain Labush and my men surrounded the battery to prevent the enemy from rushing out."

"I know you've had a hard time, but we're not the time to relax or search for loot. Pete Wallace still has power, and his treasure should be concentrated in the harbor batteries. Let's go the extra mile. ”

Chen Shouxu poured a few large sips of wine, lit his pipe to cheer up, and led people to receive the captives.

It was already dark. The nearly 100 captives that Wayne handed over to him were not pirates, but mostly lumberjacking slaves and temporary merchants. Chen Shouxu promised these people that he would restore their freedom by helping him take the harbor forts, and even join his Stormwind. The incentive to survive brought these people back to life a little.

The two batteries in the harbor had a total of 11 cannons of more than 8 pounder, of which 12 pounder guns exceeded a ton, plus the shells and gunpowder they were equipped with, and the trip could not be dragged out at all.

After a busy morning, Chen Shouxu dragged the heavy artillery to Wayne's designated position one by one. After Roberts killed a few people, there was no shouting of killing in the city. The work of building the fortifications was left to the others, and he found a relatively intact wooden house in the city, and slept on his head.

Chen's lunch break was interrupted by the deafening sound of cannons, and when he got up, he met Maiden on his way to the bell tower.

Streaks of blood, messy shirts, and bloodshot eyes show that Maiden has also been through a hard battle.

Chen Shouxu handed over the kettle containing the wine, "Last night's hunt didn't look easy." ”

"After killing a dozen people, the Belizean pirates still have some warriors who can fight."

"How does it compare to your previous battles on the Continent?"

Maiden smiled wryly, "In a way, the fighting here is harder, and I have many partners in Europe that I can trust, and we will take care of each other." Although the scale of the battle was far greater than the fire between the pirates, I never felt so tired as I did now. ”

Yes, Maiden talked about a big problem that reminded Chen Shouxu of his hidden worries. The joint team of pirates is not stable, lacking discipline, a spirit of unity and bonds of connection, and a lack of courage but tenacity. To achieve Chen Shouxu's goal, a pirate credit union is not enough, he also has to put in more efforts.

The chief and the rest of the men gathered around the bell tower, and Chen Shouxu's men did not participate in the final assault on the fort. The battle lost its suspense after the heavy artillery was in place. And by this time the fleet had already appeared, and the Guard had stopped at the mouth of the river, guarding the flanks with broadside cannons. Roberts's Revenge rushed straight through the battery, blocking the upper reaches of the battery. The Rose and the Tempest cruise the river.

The heavy artillery was fired, and Wayne wanted to end the battle before dark, and now there was only one problem left.

Chen Shouxu asked Maiden, "You were in the city last night, and according to your observations, is Pete Wallace still in the battery?" ”

"If he is willing to give up his treasure, there is still a chance to find a small boat to escape to the upper reaches of the Belize River last night. Once in the forest, it's hard for us to catch him. I don't think Wallace ran away. The Belizean pirates in the fort last night resisted resolutely, and if the leader fled, I am afraid it would not be. ”

Chen Shouxu nodded, "I hope so." He didn't run last night, and now he doesn't have a chance. ”

The 12-pounder cannon easily broke down the wall, and the Belizean pirates had no choice but to retreat into the battery. The gun carriages of the two 8-pounder guns, which were laboriously dragged to the front of the door, were also hit and collapsed to the side.

The barriers to the fence were cleared, and the guns shifted their targets and shelled the batteries. The targets of the batteries were much smaller than the walls, but the pirates were probably the most mixed team in the world at this time, and there were several gunners who had fought in the European War. They did some simple observation of the target and then began the test firing. In order not to interfere with each other, one gun ceased fire and waited for the other guns to cease fire when they were test-fired. When the guns have found the firing parameters, the salvo begins.

Twelve-pound shells shattered the masonry that wrapped the fort and shattered the women's wall on the top floor. After a few rounds, the smoke from the muzzle of the guns covered the battlefield, and nothing could be seen clearly. The primitive form of the fog of war was displayed for the first time in front of Chen Shouxu.

The gunners stopped firing, waiting for the sea breeze to blow away the smoke and for the bronze cannon to cool down naturally. After a while, the ruined fort was revealed. Wayne didn't mean to stop, "Don't stop, shoot all the shells you have prepared." ”

There is an advantage in range, which is called a sling. The masonry cracked, and debris flew around.

Wayne's men and the pirates of the Barbecue Gang stood in formation behind the artillerymen, ready to rush forward at any moment. Whether it's privateers or barbecue pirates, there is no shortage of soldiers who fought in the Thirty Years' War. Infantry artillery coordination, even cavalry artillery coordination, horizontal advance and anti-cavalry hollow phalanx, they will.

However, to Chen Shouxu's regret, he did not see the opportunity for pirates to fight serious land battles. The battery raised a white flag.

The sailors from Wayne to the lowest level breathed a sigh of relief and the fight was over.

The crew cautiously approached the battery and met no resistance. As a statistician sent by the governor, Boggs also couldn't wait to follow the sailors into the battery. He was going to count the spoils.

Chen Shouxu: They got the best results. Wallace died in the fort, but he was still reluctant to work hard for the treasure he had accumulated all his life. In the end, he died at the hands of his own people, and the Belizean pirates, who demanded surrender, killed him and raised the white flag.

After the hard battle, it is a time of harvest and pleasure.

Ravbush began to vent, and he also lost quite a few men in the process of capturing the fort. He placed several large barrels of wine in the street, forced everyone who passed by to drink with him, and finally began to throw his hands indiscriminately into the street, dozing the clothes of passers-by.

The sailors began to interrogate the captives, digging up every silver coin they had hidden in the ground. Looting and ** happened everywhere, and this time Wayne didn't stop it. The pirates took out the captured brandy, and did not bother to bother to open the bottle, cutting it off, in the words of the pirates, that is, breaking the bottleneck with a short knife. People with poor skills will be scrapped even if they open four or five bottles, and the wasted liquor flows on the streets, and it is a pity that no one goes. The pirate's profligacy after a battle is comparable to that of a king.

The looting lasted for two days, and at the end of the inventory, everyone could only sigh that Pete Wallace was really rich. A total of 40,000 Spanish silver coins were seized, a total of 320,000 riyals, which was equivalent to 10,000 pounds sterling. In addition to this, there are some jewelry, silk.

When it came time to distribute the spoils, Wayne proposed that all the spoils be divided equally according to the heads of the people who went into battle. The captured brig, Wallace's flagship, could not be divided equally, and Wayne offered to ask for the ship, which could be exchanged for other trophies for other captains.

There is no problem with this, and Chen Shouxu added two suggestions.

"Gentlemen, we all have crew members who have been wounded in this battle, and we should give them more money." It was a reasonable request, and the other two pirate captains agreed, and Wayne did not object.

The result was a sailor who lost a leg, took 300 Spanish silver coins, lost an eye, 100 silver coins, lost both hands or legs, 1000 silver coins. In addition, the Vanguard who first ascends the fort and touches the sentry post will be rewarded with an additional 50 credits.

In addition, Chen Shouxu proposed that he did not want goods and jewelry, and hoped to get a few captured cannons. The other pirates did not object, and they did not need 12-pounder guns.
