Reborn As a Pirate

The latest website: The carriages and horses of the guards are running at high speed on the bumpy road beside Lake Pontchartrain.

This is Keren's order.

According to the previous plan he and Lorraine had drawn up, once the assassination happened, the guards would speed up immediately and stand in full force.

Yanzhen means to gather the guards, use galloping horses to surround the vehicles in the center, and use flesh and blood to guard against hunters who may appear on the killing field.

The earl's parking space today is the first one, but judging from the arrangement of the knights, the focus of defense will always be the second one in the middle.

Immediately after...

Plan A: The Jackdaw drives back the bombardment ship, and the guards quickly pass through the assassination area, leaving a hunting ground that has lost its target, and hand it over to the Jackdaw and the Iron Felt Battalion to suppress the enemy on their own.

In the words of Lorraine, it is called protecting capital and pursuing profits.

Plan B: Based on the situation that the Jackdaw cannot quickly control the lake bombardment ship. In order not to give the killer a chance to fire, the guards had to give up breaking out immediately, and give priority to staying away from the dangerous lakeside and approaching the equally dangerous jungle.

In this way, although there may be a risk of encountering Indian attacks, but without artillery, at least the battle situation will not be desperate.

This trick is called abandoning the small and protecting the big.

Just like a duel on the gambling table, the only criterion for the guards to choose to place their bets and decide how much risk to take is the discovery of Lorraine. The number of gunboats on the lake will determine whether to choose A or B.

Two minutes later, the semaphore points to B.

The Jackdaw was full of sails, wrapped in the wind, overtook the guards, and swept the distance.

Karen leaned over his horse and watched the shadow of the sail fade away, raised his arms high, and pointed straight at the jungle firmly.

"Multiple gunboats are found on the lake! Plan B, slow down and be alert!"

The guard knights adjusted their marching plan without hesitation, and the cavalry formation composed of more than forty cavalry became tighter, and the three carriages were firmly guarded in the middle.

They slowed down their horses, kept running, and crossed the road diagonally, approaching the sparse outer forest.

After walking less than one kilometer, the gunshots from the woods became more and more intense.

Six or seven Indians with painted feathers came out of the woods, staggered, and looked at the trotting convoy in amazement.

ambush? Or accident?

In an instant, numerous thoughts slipped through Karen's mind.

He needs to figure out the situation, and different situations mean completely different coping plans and results.

At this time, more Indians ran out of the forest, and two of them raised their guns and pulled the trigger towards the forest at the moment they came out of the forest!

The Indians are in fighting shape!

boom! boom!

"The rear guard reloads, the forward assaults!" Karen took off the sledgehammer on the saddle, clamped the horse's belly, and jumped out suddenly, "Kill!"

He launched a standard knight's charge, and more than a dozen front-line guards subconsciously followed him, drew their swords at a distance of more than ten meters, bent down and slashed at the helpless Indian opponent.

Knights against muskets!

With the popularization of firearms and the increase in the power of firearms, the knight assault, which was once the strongest attack method, has long lost its former glory on the main battlefield.

However, the irreparable efficiency defects of the front-loading flintlock ensure that this method will not completely withdraw from the battlefield stage.

Especially at this distance, there is no suspense for both sides to win or lose.

Karen's intuition determined the optimal solution at the moment of contact between the two sides, and the Indians were killed in one round.

Six people fell into a pool of blood, and the remaining seven or eight people fled back and forth in a panic. Before they could get into the woods, there was a muffled sound like popping beans behind them.

Guards salvo!

The undisturbed knights in the rear completed a series of actions from reining in their horses to pulling the trigger within 20 seconds, and scattered but efficient gunshots rang out, completely different from the regular army demeanor, sounding a little more sloppy, more some targeting.

This is Lorraine's only requirement for the Musketeers for a long time, to pursue efficiency and give up bullet rain.

As a tactic specially designed by the Musketeers for bumpy naval battles, this tactic is obviously equally effective in mobile warfare and encounter warfare.

Dozens of lead bullets flew out, hit the ground, and shattered the tree trunk. Two more assassins who were eager to hide were bitten by lead bullets. Only six people who really fled back to the forest remained. Relying on cover, they and the guards Spread out.

Forty against six, occupying an overwhelming numerical advantage, even the individual firepower is twice that of the guards equipped with Charleville and dragoons, and the battle situation has shown a one-sided situation from the beginning.

It's just that Karen couldn't win quickly.

Since the first wave of Indians appeared, the assassins in the forest have been continuously supporting them. There are many people in the dense oak forest, and gunshots from all directions are gathering towards the small battlefield where the guards are located.

No one knew how many Indians were hiding in the woods. The fierce gun battle lasted for five minutes, and the guards finally suffered their first battle damage.

A gunman who was a guard was shot between the eyebrows by stray bullets from nowhere because he did not seek cover in time and died on the spot.

Karen raised his hand and killed an Indian with his head exposed, and ordered loudly: "Shoot in rounds! Form a team according to the big tree where you are hiding, and agree on the round! Suppress! Suppress!"

The gunfire of the guards paused briefly, and then became thinner and denser.

The battle has entered a stalemate!

The earl sat in the car with his eyes closed, fingers crossed, beside Daniel who was expressionless, and across from Yacharin who was holding two pepper shakers and smiling.

"The gunfire on the lake...is Mr. Kenway engaged in a water battle?"

"Fishing boats can't make such a loud and clear sound." Yacharin closed his eyes and listened for a while, and separated the thunder-like bang in the distance from the dense gunshots nearby, "It seems that someone has prepared for you on the lake. Great gift."

"It's a pity that they are destined not to deliver the gift to me."

"We are truly flattered by your trust."

"Even I was surprised." The earl opened his eyes, and slightly opened the curtain that blocked his view, so that he could look out of the window. "Obviously this assassination was on a larger scale, but I feel at ease. You are very professional."

"We are always serious about profit-seeking." Yacharin said solemnly.

...

"Side cut!"

With a strong sound, the Jackdaw tore through the water mist, tilted its bow high and bravely plunged into Brigantine's established route.

This is the standard T-head position, with the port side of the Jackdaw facing Brigantine's bow.

"Port battery!" Katerina shouted. "Fire!"

Boom boom boom!

The twelve-pound cannon fired one after another, and the flying projectiles drew high arcs in the air, and scattered scattered on both sides of the lake in Brigantine.

Brigantine hurriedly evaded.

However, this kind of evasion of asynchronous rudder and sail will make the sailboat lose the blessing of wind in an instant.

Brigantine's speed suddenly slowed down, while the Jackdaw turned over to the left rudder after a round of shelling, cut from T row to T row, and accelerated the charge!

"Prepare the bow gun! Fire!"

Two eighteen-pound guns roared, and Brigantine's port side returned fire at the same time. A six-pound shell hit the Jackdaw's bow, making a big dent in the deck. Fortunately, the Jackdaw finally retaliated this round, and one of the two shells hit Brigantine's stern building was destroyed, and half a story of the side building was torn off with one shot.

During the shelling, the two sides approached!

A straight waterline and a large arc converged at a certain moment, 30 meters apart, and Katerina urgently ordered: "Full left rudder! Collision! Get on board!"

Boom!

Before the words were finished, the entire Jackdaw, which had turned its head, slammed its starboard side into Brigantine's port side hard.

The sailors on Brigantine heard Lorraine's voice for the first time, and it was like a whisper from hell, cold and piercing.

"Starboard shot, clear deck, fire!"

"Fire!"

boom! Boom boom boom!

"On board!"
