Chapter 186 The Battle of Nassau

In this wave of hunting, the pirates directly sank three frigates.

Such a loss sent Chamberlain into a rage.

After angrily reprimanding the captains of the chasing frigates, he issued a death order, and no ship could leave the column without authorization before arriving in Nassau.

Even if it is responded in time.

But in the following weeks, the pirate fleet still caused a lot of trouble to the British fleet through wolf pack tactics.

Although during the raid, many pirate ships were sunk by frigates and battleships.

However, the huge battle results obtained through sacrifice proved that such a strategy is worthwhile!
Through repeated raids, the pirates not only greatly slowed down the speed of the British fleet, but also successively sank four frigates.

It's not that the pirates don't want to take prisoners, but that once the frigate is cut off by chain bombs and paralyzed, other warships will quickly provide support.

The time left is not enough for the pirates to board the ship.

Therefore, Rorschach, who anticipated this situation, issued an order in advance:

Take no prisoners, just kill!
As long as damage is done to enemy warships, their strategy is considered successful.

It would be even better if a few ships could be sunk...

The final battle loss ratio was one to four.Twenty brigantines killed five frigates!

For the pirates who were already at a disadvantage, such a record is enough to be proud of!
Originally, at the speed of the British fleet, it would take about four weeks from London to the Bahamas.

However, under the tireless harassment of the pirates, it took the British a month and a half to reach the Bahamas.

And this British fleet also changed from 26 ships when it left the port at the beginning to [-] ships.

Not only that, but the soldiers on the ship couldn't take a good rest because they had to be alert to the attack of the pirate fleet at all times.

After one and a half months, each of the lobster soldiers seemed to have just fought against the prostitute for several days and nights, and they all looked sluggish.

On the other side, Rorschach, who has returned to Nassau from Tulum, has deployed all the troops of the Pirate Republic, nearly [-] large and small sailboats, near the various islands of the Bahamas.

Then emptied the port of Nassau, pretending to give up resistance, to confuse the British.

Seeing the completely defenseless scene in Nassau, Rogers, Chamberlain, and even Henigold had the same thought in their minds:
What the hell are these pirates doing?

Thinking this way in his heart, Brigadier General Chamberlain immediately made a huge mistake that he regretted for the rest of his life:

He ordered to disperse the fleet and blockade the entire coastline of Nassau!

After completing this measure, he continued to discuss with Rogers whether it was necessary to send an envoy to Nassau to read the pardon.

However, before Rogers and Chamberlain reached an agreement, the pirates took the lead in sounding the horn of war concerning the fate of the pirate republic!

As if it had been agreed in advance, countless sailboats flying black flags suddenly rushed out from all directions.

Then from different directions, they launched an attack on the British fleet that blocked Nassau!
And this sudden offensive made the British a little confused.

Because the outer sea area of ​​Nassau is relatively narrow and there are many natural barriers, the distance between the scattered British fleet is too long to join forces in one place immediately, so they can only choose to fight back in place.

However, the British fleet with fierce firepower quickly fell behind in front of the huge pirate fleet.

After all, a British warship, no matter how many artillery pieces it had, and no matter how powerful its firepower, would have to face the siege of nearly six or seven pirate ships.

The pirates, on the other hand, used segmented attacks, like waves hitting a rock, wave after wave.

It doesn't matter if the pirate ship in front is defeated by a round of artillery, or even sunk!

Does it take time to reload ammo?It takes time to turn the hull around, right?Aiming at the target also takes time, right?

These times are enough for their ships to rush into range and launch a salvo against the huge British battleship!
The sound of thunderous artillery fire enveloped the entire sea area.

I don't know who started it first, but before firing, the pirate captain would wave his long sword or scimitar and shout with a flushed face:
"For Nassau!"

And the pirates who heard this sentence seemed to be blessed by some kind of magical power. The fear of death in their hearts suddenly turned into a desire for freedom and a pursuit of honor.

Seeing the fearless pirate ships rushing to die one by one, the British admirals and soldiers on the battleships all showed astonishment at the same time.

Is this still the pirate in their impression that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and regard money as their life? !

At this moment, these pirates are no longer just pirates fighting for wealth and adventure.

There is only one goal they are fighting for, and that is freedom!
And on the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke and chaos, the Poseidon steered by Rorschach, like a seagull flying over the sea, passed through layers of obstacles, and rushed straight to the huge ship in the middle of the column. flagship!

Holding the rudder tightly with both hands, the body stands on the poop deck, as stable as Mount Tai.

There was a firm and sharp light in Rorschach's eyes.

His goal is very simple, that is to capture the thief first and the king first!

As long as the fleet commander on the flagship is killed, the command of the entire fleet will definitely fall into chaos without a leader.

At this time, the Bristol and the two surrounding frigates also spotted the extremely fast Poseidon, opened their artillery ports one after another, and roared with artillery fire.

Amid the roar of artillery fire, the Poseidon was like a slippery catfish, always dodging before the shells hit him.

Just as the Poseidon was rapidly approaching the Bristol, Rorschach suddenly chose to let go of the rudder in his hand, and turned to look at the quartermaster beside him:
"I leave it to you, Jack!"

Hearing this, the latter nodded with a serious expression, "Don't worry, Captain!"

After handing over the command to Big O'Neal, Rorschach, who had already put on the Mayan armor, quickly climbed up the largest mast with both hands and feet.

Arriving at the highest point of the mast, Rorschach found the right time, took small steps, trotted from the crossbar of the sail, and then jumped forward!
Drawing a perfect parabola in the air, with a snap, Rorschach successfully jumped onto one of the masts of the Bristol.

With a "bang" drawing his gun, he killed the lookout who found him on the mast not far away, and Rorschach quickly swept down.

Soon, he found Chamberlain in the uniform of a senior naval officer on the deck below, and Rogers beside him!
Raising the corner of his mouth, Rorschach showed an extremely bright smile:

"I found you..."
