Hit me hard!

The genetic officer stationed at the fort shouted.

At the same time, he kept picking up a wine bottle bomb from the side and throwing it out.

To the genetic people stationed here, these pirates are like targets like 'gophers'.

The watchtower is five or six meters high, and they can't climb it at all.

Although a few pirates rushed to the entrance of the Iron Gate, they were completely helpless against the sturdy Iron Gate pirates.

No matter how they beat it, the iron gate will not move.

As a last resort, the pirates retreated to safety.

But this time, they left at least a hundred corpses behind.

Such losses are not insignificant.

You know, there are only 2,000 of them!

"Damn, what kind of weapon did the soldiers of the Song Empire use, they were able to explode in the air and produce such power."

After the pirates drove back, they looked back at the corpses on the uphill slope, and couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in their hearts.

They had never seen such a weapon.

"Chief, are we still charged?"

At this time, a small pirate leader came to the leader's side and asked.

"Rush! If we can't take this fort, Blackbeard won't let us go. Don't you know what will happen to us if we don't carry out his orders? ”

Although he was very frightened of the weapons of the genetics soldiers stationed at the fort, under the pressure of Blackbeard, the pirate leader who led the team to attack still gritted his teeth and decided to continue the attack.

When he said that he was going to continue the attack, the faces of the surrounding pirates were very frightened.

Seeing the reluctance of these men, the pirate leader exclaimed, "Brothers, we must take this fort if we do not carry out the order. Blackbeard won't let us go. You must know his methods, right? ”

At the mention of this Blackbeard, the surrounding pirates were all stunned.

Yes, the guy who organized this attack on Manhattan, Captain Blackbeard Jack, is a notorious presence in the pirate world.

As long as his name is mentioned, there is no one who is not afraid.

Therefore, in the face of what this leader said, the pirates suddenly understood that it was simply impossible for them not to charge.

Otherwise, Blackbeard wouldn't let them go when he went back.

Case. Then let's rush it.

"Sir, the pirates are quite resilient, and now they are organizing an attack again."

The genetic man behind the female wall of the fort watchtower observed such a situation, and then shrank to the non-commissioned officer.

"Let them come, we have enough bottle bombs here to deal with them. If they thought they could conquer this fort with their numbers, it would be an absolute dream. ”

The genetic officer said to his companions with disdain.

Come on!

Rushing in and destroying the cannon inside, Blackbeard said that as long as we succeed in taking Manhattan. 50 gold per person...... Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Before the leader could finish speaking, a bottle bomb exploded in front of him.

A powerful wave of impact qi pushed his body backwards a full three or four meters away.

Poof!

His body slammed to the ground, and he never got back up.

Wait until the pirates retreat. Loyal men seemed to have pulled him to safety.

Only then did everyone realize that the leader's body had been blasted by lead bullets, and it was full of holes like a rag head.

The sudden death of the leader left the remaining pirates somewhat dispossessed.

Retreat. They didn't dare.

After all, Blackbeard's orders, they haven't finished yet.

So, there is no way to do so. They had no choice but to elect a new leader to command the battle.

Sadly, 2,000 pirates came to attack the fort, which was thought to be an easy task. But they didn't expect it to be so difficult to attack.

But now they have no way out, so they can only rush head-on.

Otherwise, it would be a death to go back.

And if you want to die a little easier under Blackbeard's hands, that's all extravagant.

It's just that now the pirates have forgotten that they have to conquer three of these forts.

The battle on the sea continues.

The artillery of the batteries along the coast also continued to fire without any interruption.

The battleships of the Manhattan fleet lost quite a few more.

It's the same with pirates.

However, in the eyes of the pirates, who had hundreds of warships, they could afford to lose this amount.

But not Manhattan.

"Why are the batteries along the coast still shooting, 2,000 people are enough to attack a small lord, but now they are just used to attack a small battery, I think they are all waste!"

A tall man with a long beard and a tuxedo-like coat shouted and cursed from a boat behind him.

He is the convener of this pirate union, the famous Butcher of the Atlantic, Blackbeard Jack.

"Jack, give the lads a little more time, it's just the beginning. You expect them to settle everything right away, it's unrealistic, and they're not the legendary paladins. ”

At Blackbeard's side, someone answered.

Hearing this, Blackbeard Jack looked at the man and frowned and said: "I have a premonition that it is not very bad, I feel as if there is danger lingering around us, which makes me very uncomfortable, I am not afraid to tell you that my feelings have always been very effective, the reason why I have been able to cross for so many years has nothing to do with this natural prediction of danger." ”

Blackbeard was in a state of confusion right now, which made him feel bad.

Normally he doesn't feel this way, but every time he does it, it's accompanied by great danger.

It's like that every time, and it's very accurate.

It can be said that Blackbeard's 'skill' is innate, and it is very weird.

Yes, although he himself couldn't tell what was going on, this feeling really saved him a few times, which is why he was so irritable now.

But his words. No one believed it at all.

"Hey, Jack, how could it be. You see we have so many warships, and the war at sea is still in the upper hand, and the Manhattan fleet is being pressed and beaten by us, or it won't be long before the Manhattan fleet will be destroyed. ”

Some captains said to Jack with a smile.

"That is, that is, although the batteries along the coast are a bit of a threat to the ships in the battlefield ahead, but they are only a little bit of a threat. It's not really a problem. ”

"Jack, you can't have drunk too much rum before you go to war at night, right? Ha Lu Ha! ”

Many of the captains on his ship, which served as his temporary flagship, did not believe what Jack had to say.

They took Jack's words as ear wind, and they just laughed and listened to them.

They don't even know the Tao of the Tao, and there are a few people in the world who are really born with this ability.

In later generations, this ability was called a 'special function', also known as danger perception.

Seeing that everyone was laughing at himself, Jack thought about it and thought that maybe he was too nervous.

After all, they now have a big advantage. How could something go wrong?

Although this feeling of his had saved him many times, it was only a feeling after all.

It's not true.

I wonder if those rescues were just a coincidence.

Truth be told, even Jack himself is very interested in his own natural ability. It's not very clear either.

So, when everyone around him said this, Jack stopped talking.

And what they don't know is from Manhattan and the southern tip of the sea in the middle of Manhattan Island. There were one hundred and twenty tin fishing boats speeding towards the battlefield.

These tin fishing boats are painted all over in teal paint and are hard to spot in the dim darkness of the night.

And these ships were ordered not to turn on their lights until they entered the battlefield.

So. The pirates didn't see the tin ships a nautical mile away.

This is Manhattan's secret weapon, the Rapid Response Fleet.

"Sir! The Rapid Reaction Fleet has arrived a nautical mile away, do we now withdraw from the battlefield to make room for them? ”

Using walkie-talkies, the Rapid Reaction Force communicated with the Manhattan fleet ahead and informed them that they had arrived.

The walkie-talkie was originally made by Song Hu and used by the Abyss God Sect to fool believers.

But now it's all for the fleet to use against the pirates.

The signal range of this walkie-talkie is 10 kilometers, which is a product of later generations of use on construction sites.

But in this era, it came in handy.

With walkie-talkies, there is no need to wave flags between ships on nights like this. Just talk, and you can tell everyone your orders.

As a result, the warships of the Manhattan fleet usually moved faster than the pirates.

If it weren't for the small number of them, it probably wouldn't be a match for pirates.

Of course, because the number of walkie-talkies is too small, there are only a few dozen.

Therefore, it is not possible to have such equipment on every warship in the fleet.

However, the commander on the flagship must have one, and some of the surrounding warships must also be equipped with one.

When they receive the order, they can wave the wind lanterns on the surrounding ships within visual range to make a notification.

"Order, get out of this sea area and give up this place to the Rapid Reaction Fleet!"

After getting the news, the commander of the Manhattan Fleet of Chinese Genetic People clapped his palms excitedly, and then ordered.

"Look, the Manhattan fleet is starting to turn around and get ready to retreat!"

The Manhattan battleship, having received the order, began to turn its bow one after another.

It takes a long time for a sailboat to make a U-turn, and it is very troublesome.

When the pirates saw this, they all shouted excitedly.

Because this is a signal for the Manhattan fleet to retreat, and it also means that they won the battle, right?

Without the obstruction of the Manhattan fleet, the pirate armies could march in and attack Manhattan's harbor.

Blackbeard Jack in the rear also found out about the situation.

Everyone went to the deck railing, put their monoculars in their eye sockets, and looked at it.

"Really, it's true, the Manhattan fleet has begun to retreat, and we've won!"

Someone shouted happily.

"It's so weak, it's only been a two-hour naval battle, and these Manhattans can't do it. At first they were very brave, I thought it was a tough one. ”

Someone Nunu muttered.

Blackbeard Jack didn't say anything, for he was getting more and more uncomfortable now, and the feeling made him uncomfortable.

But when everyone is happy, he can't say anything to pour cold water on everyone.

After all, the current situation is indeed their victory.

Gun firing from both sides of the river continued, but the threat to the pirates was not very great now.

However, the pirates on both sides continued to attack the fort.

Blackbeard raised his hand and slapped it on his face, making himself feel more energetic.

"Go on the attack, target Manhattan Harbor!"

Oh ho ho! ——

Dividing Line –

"Attack, damn it, what the hell is this explosive weapon. Could it be that this is Satan's weapon, the damned Song people actually have such a terrible weapon! ”

The assault on the fort continued, but the pirates did not make much progress.

Aside from dropping a few corpses on every attack, they were nothing to accomplish.

The two thousand pirate provisional forces sent to seize the fort had already lost five or six hundred men by this time.

This is already the limit of what the pirates can bear.

After all, these pirates are improvised and cobbled together troops.

Therefore, in the face of such a large number of human sacrifices, it is impossible for them to continue to fight bravely.

As for the terrible Blackbeard, the ghost took care of him.

Anyway, the current pirates are reluctant to attack.

But there are some bold guys who are willing to give it a try under the stimulus of gold coins.

However, this kind of person, at the very least, will become a member of the corpse.

"Look, everyone, the battle on the sea is over, and the Manhattan fleet is retreating!"

On the hillside, the pirates could dimly see something.

"So we can rest for a while, and we don't have to continue attacking the fort."

Suddenly, a pirate sat down on the hillside, gasping for air.

"Oh my God, this is a nightmare, a nightmare that I will never forget. The terrible Song people, we two thousand people can't take such a small fart place, it's really incomprehensible. ”

The pirates who attacked the fort suddenly relaxed, and began to talk one after another.

Yes, the battle on the sea is over, which indicates that things on the side of the battery are no longer very important.

So they don't need to rush to go on the offensive, do they?

And the pirate army is going to continue to attack the port of Manhattan, and there will definitely be a landing battle there.

Rather than that, they might as well stay on the side of the battery and pretend to continue attacking it.

Seeing that everyone had relaxed, the leader who was temporarily elected could only obey everyone's wishes at this time.

But they didn't know what to do, and on the other side of the hill, a Manhattan Army unit of 500 men was ascending from the side of the hill. (To be continued.) )
