One big, three small, four warships sailed west from Trinidad along the channel north of Youth Island.

Although the obstacle is only 10 knots, it is the largest warship with the largest volume, firepower and personnel.

The Spaniard ’s current tactics are still fast boats to catch prey; Galen ’s fierce firepower broke the opponent ’s mast several times in volleys, then rushed up to hit the angle and fixed the two ships together; The marines on board are on board to solve the battle!

As the tactical core of the team, the Obstacle naturally takes the middle position of the fleet. The young officers of the McLaren Officer Regiment stand on the ship with command and command the entire fleet.

The same four-star ship, but only half the size of the Galen ship, the Bakerdingen three-masted ship "Ferrel", is responsible for the flanks of the "obstacle".

The dexterous and fast six-star sailboat "Rosario" Lager sailed forward, another temporary five-star Balke three-masted merchant ship, "Esmeralda" broke off.

McLaren may be an idiot with high eyes, like the children of all noble families.

But his staff, the young army officer group his father organized for him, were absolutely not stupid. They are all from the middle and lower ranks of Spain, relying on their own abilities in the navy, and gradually climbed up to accumulate merits! Finally, McLaren's dad, Hui, saw the pearl. Gathered around his son. They came to the Caribbean to show their abilities. Seize power and wealth with both hands!

"Okay, you go out. Someone will give you a bounty."

In the captain's room of the Obstacle, seven or eight officers sat on the edge of the chart on the Cuban island, and a pre-war meeting was being held. They are from various naval fleets, are suppressed talents, and have their own strengths and ideas. So here, when McLaren is away, most of them still use the collective resolution conference system.

The sailor questioned covered his chest with a hat and bowed, then stepped back. He was once a sailor when the Kraken was also called the Princess, and Lu Yuan landed in Trinidad. He left the fleet with severance money. This time there is a chance, of course, to immediately sell Lu Yuan's bottom line cleanly! Pirates, what kind of ethics can there be? Those who are loyal and persistent are all fooled into the navy and are now sitting at the table.

"Good at navigating ships, adventurous, accurate bombardment ... what do you think?" The leading middle-aged officer asked.

"Young and flamboyant!" Another older officer commented on the second, "He must be unable to bear this breath! So the battlefield should be here ..." A coral reef he needed to cross when he passed by Youth Island in Trinidad The region of the archipelago is outlined. "With his personality like adventure and surprise attack. It should be a bold assault here!"

"Oh, this is not a good place ..." Officer said with a smile on the 1st, the sea conditions near Trinidad have long been clear to them, there is a good place for sneak attacks. But the big problem is. The island is of the reef type-that is, it is small in size, but it stands up abruptly beyond the sea surface by several meters. This terrain has chaotic winds and curved routes. The speed of the boat is not fast. "He came here to compete with us for firepower. That is to find his own death!"

"Report!" The guard shouted loudly outside the captain.

"Come in!" Officer No. 1 then took a note from the guard. Take a closer look and happily pat the table! "The news provided by the British ship opposite has confirmed that the Kraken turned his head south! It seems ... we guessed it!"

He outlined the route with his fingers, a route that first detoured south and then west to the south of the coral reef group, hiding in the reef belt, was clearly shown.

"Let the 'Esmeralda' step forward, let's let the Portuguese shell the first round first!" Someone suggested, causing a roar of laughter. Teasing the enemy, this is their favorite! Anyway, the ship was called in, so things were settled.

"What if he goes east?" There was a youngest officer, who was actually someone's deputy, who took it to learn. Seeing that everyone was very happy and relaxed, he took the opportunity to ask his own questions.

"Hahaha," his question caused the officers to laugh more.

Officer One is a solemn person, so he only came forward to explain. He coughed and said only two short words for the reason-"Headwind!"

In the era of sailing, the wind is what determines everything. Thousands of miles on a windy day, it is difficult to walk without a wind.

"Wow! Lu! You ... you are really great!" Misha, dressed in men's clothes, raised her feet to wipe the sweat on Lu Yuan's forehead. Having reached the destination, Lu Yuan can finally put down the wheel rudder in his hand, standing there quietly and taking a break. When Misha approached Lu Yuan, she realized that not only her forehead, but the clothes on Lu Yuan's back were completely wet with sweat.

But it seems that Lu Yuan is now in high spirits.

"Awesome ?! Is it just awesome? Dear! The wind from Trinidad to Port-au-Prince ran out of 20 knots. That was awesome! Like us, the headwind can also complete a tactical turn at 12 knots! It ’s awesome! It ’s unbelievable! It ’s a god! ”

He clapped his hands and shouted loudly to the sailors on the deck, "Okay, everyone! Now let go of the rest of your hands! We have succeeded! You can sleep until today tonight, I promise you to wake up tomorrow Come here, lying on the heap of treasure! "

Hearing his shouts, the twelve tired sailors who had been busy in shifts were almost cheering together and then lying on the deck together! Even though they were half-naked long ago, some people still shouted, "Who poured me a bucket of sea water! I'm about to catch fire."

Lu Yuan looked at the small port a few hundred meters away under the blazing sun and said with a smile. "Misha ... Go wake up the guys who are full of energy! Start work immediately, we are here! ... Good afternoon. Trinidad!"

Lu Yuan stretched his body and stretched the stiff part. Full four hours. He trained himself like a dog with a few sailors! Every suddenly turbulent wind and every occasionally disturbed current turned into his driving force against the wind. The headwind reached a speed of 12 knots. In fact, it was such adjustments one after another, grabbing one by one!

This is ten times more difficult than the race from Havana to Trinidad!

As I said before, the port of Trinidad is a semi-military port built to protect the back of Havana. There are few people here, and the business is not well developed. All the garrisons are 500 people and three warships. These five hundred people included the main force of all the guards, gunners, musketeers, marines and sailors. The situation is now. First, the "obstacle" was filled, and all the sailors and most of the gunners were removed. Then the Marines went out with the fleet.

Now the local fleet of Trinidad has been thrown at least fifty nautical miles away! If they want to come back against the wind, maybe it will take the whole day!

In addition to dozens of gunners in Trinidad today, the rest are town guards. She was like a big beautiful woman, completely exposed to Lu Yuan's fierce eyes!

"My big gun is already hungry & thirsty!"

Lu Yuan roared, and caused the sailors to cry and howl! Legendary escapes, incredible slaloms, and now almost all sailors who are familiar with the port can see that Trinidad has been mobilized to work hard! This is the opportunity to capture and plunder a port! Everyone was excited. Even the sailors who were tired on the deck joined in the cheers!

Lu Yuan is a mage, but after entering the world, Lu Yuan did not completely rely on his magic to fight. In this era, the largest war weapon is still a warship. Lu Yuan's only four spells. Each has its own limitations. Although the activation rope is flexible, the number of commands that can be commanded at a time is limited.

"Detection of thoughts" can't probe the opposing commander's thoughts across the battleship, so it does not help the battle. "Fireball" is not weaker than a generation of incendiary bombs. Up to a burning diameter of forty feet. But its range is only about 500 feet, similar to a 24-pound gun. An ordinary 42-pound caliber cannon. The range is three times that of fireball! The power is far more than fireball. And if it is a one-star giant ship, it is possible to shoot more than fifty cannons at one time!

"Roar" is more restrictive. First, it takes time to prepare and perform. Lu Yuan can't do it now. Secondly ... roar at most once a day, otherwise the throat can't stand it! It ’s okay if the injury is n’t cured, it will turn the voice into a male duck ’s voice-if he does n’t want to be the heroes mentioned in the ring instructions, it ’s better to be more temperate.

"Loading artillery on both sides!"

Lu Yuan happily looked at the experienced gunner in less than a minute and a half, and installed all the guns, which is much stronger than in the past!

He looked at the Trinidad fortress out of range and suddenly remembered a bridge in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. "What are you doing standing up ?! Everyone ran! Follow my orders and follow me! Left ~! Right ~!"

Everyone who has seen the movie should know that, like Jack, he started to take the crew from the port to the starboard, and then repeatedly turned back to shake the hull!

The elevation angle of the artillery is only 8 degrees, so the range is very close, but we modern people know that the elevation angle of the artillery can be greater! The 30-45 degree bombardment elevation angle is the most suitable! Although there is no storm to let Lu Yuan perform his magic skills, he can also create a miracle artificially!

"Yes! That's right! Shaking the hull like this! The gunner is ready to fire! We are going to say" Hi "to Trinidad!"

Lu Yuan grabbed the wheel rudder again and manipulated the "Siren" to avoid the other's shelling, waiting for the opportunity!

*

"How could this be? Those idiots! How did he let him slip in! Didn't they take the entire fleet to chase down ?!" McLaren shouted palely. "If it weren't for me to be here, wouldn't we be attacked by him!"

He pointed to the "Siren" that was slowly entering the harbor, and he didn't know what to say.

Behind him, stood the only one remaining in the regiment-the rest of them squeezed the "obstacle number", even if only served as the five! The guys who have been idle since they came from Europe are really eager for war. This person was left behind. It was because he was the captain of the musket that had been torn off half of his ear by the truss cast by Lu Yuan.

The captain of the musket waited for him to get angry. Only one step forward and said, "Your Excellency. Now that the enemy has entered the range of the turret, are we going to order shelling?"

"Why? That boat is slippery like a fish! Shooting is a waste of shells now!" McLaren retorted, still confused. The last futile shelling lasted three quarters of a hour, which made him lose his face. Afterwards, he severely dismissed several of the fort officials.

The captain of the musket tolerated and tolerated, but still did not directly order.

He explained patiently, "Your Excellency, we have only one hundred soldiers left, most of them are militiamen, and the number is equal to the number of sailors on the other side. But their people are very powerful pirates ... and we have left There were fewer than fifty gunners under him. Now is not the time to cherish the shells. If you ca n’t stop your opponents at sea, just let them rush into the port ... "He saw McLaren's expression fainting and stopped in time Down.

McLaren's mind is now in confusion, what inherited the commander of the navy and made a contribution; what married Elizabeth and conquered a territory and knighthood ... and so on, all of them have disappeared! Only the Portuguese he met in the morning. Louis's cold smile seemed to grow bigger and bigger, covering the entire sky!

"What should I do? What should I do?" He said to himself, looking weakly at the staff.

"Your Excellency. We haven't lost yet!" Captain Muskete said firmly. "Please have confidence in your staff! They are the elite of the imperial navy! Even if it is defeated, it will not fail so fast. So thoroughly, Even a little bit of news didn't come back! In my opinion, this is more like a well-planned scam! They were deceived by the Portuguese and chased in the wrong direction. It gave him the opportunity to attack Trinidad! Just We hold on to it, my colleagues will definitely see through the Portuguese tricks, and then give back as quickly as possible! I swear!

At that time, we will fight against each other and defeat to defeat! Louis will definitely die! "

"Don't call him Luis! Just the Portuguese! You're right! I haven't lost!" McLaren's eyes were firm in a trance, "We have the Galen battleship, how can we not beat the disgusting, only Boats that will escape? They must have been cheated! Well ... wait for me to catch him! That abominable Portuguese! And that **** & son ... "

The captain of the musket nodded encouragingly, agreeing.

At this time, as long as it can enhance McLaren's confidence, he will use it. This is because, in order to be able to get along well with his colleagues in the future, he has some circumstances that he has not concealed, for example ... to what extent have they been cheated! ? This determines how long it will take them to get back.

Unfortunately, the captain of the Musketeer didn't grasp it at all, just as he couldn't expect Lu Yuan to kill a carbine. He can only pray for them as soon as possible. McLaren is now more courageous than courageous. It is a fantasy after fear. It is easy to be broken.

So now he can only follow McLaren's fantasy.

"I order!" While he was still weighing, McLaren had shouted orders to the outside and scared him! But ... he has no right to stop.

"I order! All turrets fire immediately! Those who can hit that ship are directly promoted to officers! There is also a reward!"

The order was fairly complete, and the muscular captain nodded.

McLaren saw the captain of the Musket nodded toward him, and he felt more confident, "Let all the guards add to the fort, as long as they have free cannons, they can use it! The merits, the same reward! And, let Those sailors on the pier or something, go to help the artillery shells, our Trinidad shells reserve can scare the Portuguese! Even shooting from now until night is no problem! "

Seeing the muscular expression of Captain Musketeer, McLaren explained to him, "Let the guards come also to increase the density of the artillery. And Xinding's luck is usually good. You don't know yet, this Morgan attack At that time, Hawa, there was a Xin Ding who went to the fort for the first time and actually got seven victories! Hahaha, the new luck ... it's incredible. "

Shangguan explained to himself that Captain Muskete could only swallow his own words. He really hopes that this is just a temporary plan by the Portuguese, not a carefully prepared conspiracy! Otherwise, Trinidad who has been tuned out ... no. impossible! The guy has been chased and run away from morning till now. He has no time to prepare these. Thinking of this, Captain Musket finally felt relieved ...

"What's that boat doing?" McLaren asked doubtfully pointing at the Kraken.

Now the turret has begun to pour shells at the Kraken. She seemed to dodge awkwardly, but she was still swinging left and right strangely ...

The captain of the musket just thought a little, and it was incredible, "I think we still cover it a little bit ..."

His voice was immediately overwhelmed by howling shells!

The captain of the musket, who had no time to explain, directly fell down McLaren, pushed him into the dead corner, and pressed firmly under his body! The two were hiding in the corner of the bunker, feeling the ground shaking and shelling! When the shelling finally ended and the Musketeer pulled McLaren out of the bunker, the terrible scene in front of him could hardly be seen directly! The top of the thin bunker was cut halfway. Two cannons were missing! And there are several **** artillery soldiers lying under the ruins moaning & chanting!

Some have lost their lives! Even those artillery soldiers who were intact in the shelling were sitting there at the moment ...

The captain of the musket supported McLaren. He could clearly feel that McLaren was trembling violently. He collapsed ... The staff's heart sank towards the abyss.

"They, they can hit us!" McLaren repeatedly muttered this sentence.

The psychological advantage has been stripped completely and cleanly for the first round of shelling of the Kraken!

*

"Oh ~~~~ !!!" Seeing the white smoke rising from the top of the fortress, the fort was shot by the side gun volley, and the two fortress guns rolled and flew. After falling from the fort, the pirates gave huge cheers!

Lu Yuan did not know his first volley and almost killed McLaren! Otherwise, he will definitely aim there and go crazy!

"Once again!" Lu Yuan took advantage of the hull still shaking violently. Being able to get a shooting elevation, he drove the Kraken to make a vicious turn and exposed the full port of the bullet. "!"

Eight fire tongues sprayed, and another fort on the fortress also exploded a large amount of smoke! Several fortress guns were completely dumb!

"Load! Load!" Lu Yuan waved the captain's cap. "Just keep bombing!"

The excited gunner roared in unison. "Just keep bombing!"

...

After the town guards who had been used by the militiamen entered the fort, they only knew about the random shooting. It didn't bring McLaren's expectations at all, "Good luck for novices!"

And they have no experience of shelling and being shelled, and the screams from the forts everywhere have caused their morale to collapse quickly! Started lying in the bunker and dared not come out. Even the guards are like this. I can imagine what happens to the sailors who are temporarily recruited as porters, not to mention that there are some spies who are mixed with some people, and they are constantly distributing various disadvantages. News.

All kinds of situations are mixed together, so that an entire fortress is suppressed by a small boat!

The captain of the Musketeer thought it was a shame! If he can't reverse this situation, he will be looked down upon by his colleagues forever!

But **** it! That guy's shelling is so accurate!

McLaren is now dumbfounded and completely abandoned. Captain Musket can only rely on himself!

But before he could find the key to victory, the situation slipped towards the abyss ...

The shouts coming from under the battery ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ made his face pale instantly!

"Morgan attacked Trinidad! The governor's palace has fallen!" I don't know which sailor shouted the news, but it is no longer important ...

Seeing the Doge ’s Palace at the highest point of the Port of Trinidad, the Spanish flag above was lowered. Immediately raised a flamboyant black skull flag-clearly told everyone in Trinidad Port, Trinidad has fallen!

"Run!" Someone shouted that the sailors who had been recruited temporarily and the guards who lacked training began to run away. Then the gunners joined in one after another.

Lu Yuan also saw the change of that flag over the Governor ’s Mansion.

"We won!" He shouted loudly, causing the crew to cheer again and again!

"Now harvest our wealth!"

The Kraken suddenly turned around, changed the previous walk, and burst into the port of Trinidad with the strongest attitude! (To be continued ...)
