Pirate Avenger

Chapter 237

Chapter 237

After destroying the Black Pearl, with no worries, Spark and Norrington discussed how to deal with the next battle.

"The other party abandoned the ship and fled. This is planning to fight us to the death on the island."

"The battle of trapped beasts is especially dangerous. Since these monsters are determined to fight us with their backs, they must be prepared and have to guard against them."

"Major General Spark, I don't know what you have in mind."

"After a brief look at the situation around the island, the only place where so many people can hide is the main island."

"Will the other party choose to divide their troops?"

"It's unlikely, after all, the opponent's numbers are at a disadvantage. And after destroying the Black Pearl, I had someone check it out, and all the light and heavy weapons on board were removed."

"It seems that this battle will not be too easy. Are you going to send an investigation team?"

"Other small islands are fine. If it is the main island, it is too risky. It may lead to the annihilation of the entire army."

"Or I will lead the team myself."

"There is no need for this for the time being, don't worry, these guys can't run away."

Spark understands Norrington's mood.Since the attack on Port Royal, Norrington has been under tremendous pressure, especially after learning about Lord Beckett's small actions from Spark.

If it wasn't for Norrington's family to help him, Lord Beckett would have appeared in the Caribbean Sea in his gigantic Endeavor.

But this time, Lord Beckett didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, and he wanted to have a hand in the Caribbean. The East India Company behind him had a great influence. If the culprit, the Black Pearl, could not be brought to justice soon , sooner or later there will be a day when I can't stand it.

Norrington knew this, so seeing the enemy was in front of him, he seemed a little impatient.

Spark couldn't let him do whatever he wanted.In the face of these vicious desperadoes and monsters, they must step by step, otherwise they will lose everything if they are careless.This is unacceptable to Spark.

"Let's see it this way, Norrington, Carlos, you two led two brigades to the island to search for traces of the enemy in two directions.

If you encounter a small group of enemies, annihilate them on the spot.If there are too many enemies, a signal is sent, one means that the support of the other team is needed, and two means that the main force of the enemy has been encountered and all reinforcements are needed.

I will stay here to monitor the situation on the main island.Once there is a sign of trouble, I can command the fleet to bombard the enemy.

With me here, it won't be a problem to support you until you come back. "

Carlos expressed no doubts, and Norrington nodded after thinking for a moment.

Soon the two brigades set off in lifeboats.

Barbosa, who was hidden on the peak of the main island, witnessed all of this, "Hey, I met a cowardly guy with no courage at all, how did he get to where he is now.

This is an opportunity, should we let that stupid pig try to charge forward? "

Judging from the number of people, there should be quite a few left-behind personnel on the warship. If he could directly rush to the ship and fight with them, Barbosa would say nothing without the slightest hesitation, but this is obviously unrealistic.

If they rush forward rashly, they will inevitably face overwhelming artillery attacks.If there are fewer people, it is not enough, and if there are more people, it is likely to suffer heavy losses.It's okay to succeed, once you miss, you don't need to fight the next battle, after all, resurrection has become a problem.

"It's better to stick to the main island honestly." After thinking twice, Barbosa gave up this plan.

At around 02:30 in the afternoon, the teams sent out by the two tribes returned one after another, but naturally they found nothing.

"There is no doubt that the enemy is hiding on the main island.

I'm sure the other party must have laid a net and waited for us to take the bait. "

"Haha, the idea is good, but we have to take the bait.

Given the rare opportunity, let them see the difference between the navy and the pirates. "

"That's exactly what I mean! Hahaha."

Spark and Norrington thought of going together this time.

The difference Norrington said was very simple. It was actually the gap between financial resources and reserves.

Different from the method of accumulating money by pirates burning, killing and looting, the navy, or the country behind it, has adopted a more effective method: taxation.

The Caribbean Sea is far away from the country, and countries that know the significance of the navy have never been stingy in investing in the navy.

Not so with pirates.On the surface, the wealth they plundered is also very considerable, but they are pirates, are they called pirates if they don't spend a lot of time?A large amount of gold, silver and jewelry have been spent on pleasure, and the cost of supplementing equipment is really limited.

Take artillery shells as an example. There are very few pirates whose reserves can support two large-scale battles.Their predatory nature is destined to solve problems with knives more often.

The navy is just the opposite. Anyway, it's just sending these lawless scumbags to hell. What can be solved with artillery, why use a knife to kill them in vain.

"Norrington, Carlos, send an order to prepare artillery to wash the ground."

At three o'clock sharp, the two warships entered the designated positions, and with Spark's order, the large-scale bombardment began!

"fire!"

All of a sudden, a hundred guns fired together, and the flames shot up into the sky.

"damn it!

Pass my order, and the forward position will immediately counterattack! "

The forward artillery camp of the Black Pearl is located in the middle of the woods, and has not yet been baptized by artillery fire.After receiving the order, they immediately launched an attack.

It is easy to hide in the forest, but it also affects their vision and artillery attacks.Many shells hit the tree, and in the end only two shells stumbled and hit the warship.

The Black Pearl's offensive didn't work well, but it exposed their position.After making some adjustments, the two warships resumed their attack.

The artillery camp suffered a disaster this time. Although the woods provided them with some protection, they couldn't withstand the fierce naval attack, and soon they couldn't hold on here, and they decisively gave up their position.

In the process, more than a dozen pirates were blown to pieces.

The counterattacks of the pirates stopped, but the navy did not give up. They used a stepped approach to clean up the ground, and did not stop until the range of the artillery reached the longest distance, and at the same time the reserve of shells reached a dangerous situation.

The shelling lasted for a quarter of an hour, and nearly half of the main island was completely destroyed.The forward artillery position, a large trap, and an ambush point arranged by Barbosa were destroyed one after another. More than [-] people were killed or injured, and a quarter of the troops were converted into one quarter at once.

During this time, Barbossa has been keeping a close eye on the direction where the Black Pearl was destroyed, and the dead personnel have not reappeared for a long time.Barbossa's last trace of fluke dissipated.

"Hmph, what skills do you guys have? Then it's up to us. I, Barbosa, are not so easy to take advantage of!"

However, after washing the land, the navy still did not land, and the watchmen carefully observed the situation on the island with their binoculars.

After a while, the lookouts, based on their observations and experience, pointed out several locations that they thought were most suitable for ambush attacks or artillery installations.

The two warships each selected a most likely target through the semaphore one calculation.Afterwards, the Sea Beast Cannons, whose range and power were far superior to ordinary artillery, fired one after the other.

"This group of beasts!" Barbossa ruthlessly smashed the telescope in his hand.

Needless to say, under the Sea Beast Cannon, the two people who hid the artillery point had no possibility of surviving, and more than a dozen people were lost.
