- Hit me hard!
The genetic officer stationed at the fort shouted.
At the same time, he kept picking up a bottle bomb from the side and throwing it out.
For the genetic people stationed here, these pirates are like 'gophers' targets.
They couldn¡¯t climb up the watchtower that was five or six meters high.
Although some pirates rushed to the entrance of the iron gate, they were completely helpless against the strong iron gate.
No matter how hard they beat, the iron door wouldn't budge.
As a last resort, the pirates had to retreat to a safer place.
But in this charge, they left at least more than a hundred corpses.
Such losses are not insignificant.
You know, there are only 2,000 of them in total!
"Damn it, what kind of weapons were used by the soldiers of the Song Empire that could actually explode in the air and produce such power."
After the frightened pirates drove back, they looked back at the corpses on the uphill slope and couldn't help but feel a sudden rush in their hearts.
They have never seen such a weapon.
"Chief, are we still charging?"
At this time, a small pirate leader came to the leader and asked.
"Charge! It won't work if we don't charge. 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 about the weapons of the genetic soldiers stationed at the fort, under the pressure of Blackbeard, the pirate leader who led the attack team gritted his teeth and decided to continue the attack.
When they heard him say that they wanted to continue the attack, the pirates around them had very fear on their faces.
After seeing the reluctance of these people, the pirate leader loudly said: "Brothers, we must take this fort. If we don't carry out the order, Blackbeard will not let us go. You must also know about his methods. ,right."
When mentioning this Blackbeard, the pirates around him were 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, no one will be afraid.
Therefore, facing what this leader said, the pirates immediately understood that it would be impossible for them not to charge.
"Otherwise, Blackbeard won't let them go even if he goes back."
Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s rush.
"Sir, the pirates are quite resilient and are now organizing an attack again."
The gene man behind the parapet of the fort watchtower observed this situation, and then shrank towards the sergeant.
"Let them come, we have plenty of bottle bombs here, enough to deal with them. If they think they can conquer this fortress with their numbers, it is an absolute dream."
This genetic officer said to his companions very disdainfully.
Go!
Rush in and destroy the cannon inside. Blackbeard said that as long as we successfully capture Manhattan, each of us will be rewarded 50 gold Boom! boom! boom!
Before the leader could finish shouting, a bottle bomb exploded in front of him.
The powerful impact of the air wave pushed his body back a full three to four meters.
Plop!
His body fell heavily to the ground, and then he never stood up again.
After the pirates retreated, loyal men seemingly pulled him to a safe area for a look.
It was only then that everyone discovered that the leader's body had been riddled with holes from the explosive lead bullets, like a rag head.
The sudden death of the leader left the remaining pirates a little confused.
Retreat, they don¡¯t dare.
After all, they haven¡¯t completed Blackbeard¡¯s order yet.
Therefore, with no other option, they had no choice but to elect a new leader to direct the battle.

But they didn't expect it to be so difficult to attack.
But now they have no retreat, they can only bite the bullet and charge upward.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Otherwise, it would be a death to go back.
¡°And it¡¯s all a luxury to hope that it would be easier to die under Blackbeard¡¯s hands.
It¡¯s just that the pirates have forgotten one thing now, like thisThey have to conquer three forts.
The battle on the sea continues.
The fort artillery along the coast also continued to fire without interruption at all.
The battleships of the Manhattan Fleet have lost many more.
The same goes for pirates.
However, from the perspective of the pirates who own hundreds of warships, they can still afford this loss.
But not in Manhattan.
"Why are the forts along the coast still firing? 2,000 people are enough to attack a small lord. Now they are only used to attack a small fort. I think they are all useless!"
A tall man, wearing a tuxedo-like coat and a long beard, yelled and cursed on a boat behind.
He is the convener of this pirate alliance, the famous Atlantic Butcher, Blackbeard Jack.
"Jack, give the boys a little more time. This is just the beginning. You want them to settle everything right away. This is unrealistic. They are not the legendary Paladins."
Beside Blackbeard, someone spoke.
Hearing this, Blackbeard Jack looked at the man and frowned and said, "I have a bad premonition. I feel like there is danger lingering around us. This makes me feel very uncomfortable. I'm not afraid to tell you that my feelings have always been very effective. The reason why I have been able to control things for so many years has nothing to do with this innate ability to predict danger."
Blackbeard is in a very confused mood now, which makes him feel very bad.
Usually he doesn¡¯t feel like this, but every time he feels like this, it¡¯s accompanied by great danger.
It¡¯s like this every time, very accurate.
It can be said that Blackbeard¡¯s ¡®skill¡¯ is innate and very weird.
Yes, although he himself can¡¯t explain what this is, this feeling has actually saved him several times, which is why he is so irritable and restless now.
But no one believed what he said.
"Hey, Jack, how is that possible? Look at how many battleships we have, and the war at sea is still in the upper hand. The Manhattan fleet is being suppressed by us. It won't be long before the Manhattan fleet is destroyed. "
Some captains said to Jack with a smile.
"That's right, that's right, although the forts along the coast are a bit of a threat to the ships in the battlefield ahead, they are only a slight threat, not a real trouble."
"Jack, didn't you drink too much rum before the battle tonight? Haha!"
On his ship, which served as a temporary flagship, many captains did not believe what Jack said.
They ignored Jack¡¯s words and laughed.
They simply don¡¯t know that there are a few people in the world who are really born with this ability.
In later generations, this can be called ¡®special function¡¯, also known as danger perception.
Seeing that everyone was laughing at him, Jack thought for a while and thought that maybe he was just too nervous.
After all, they now have a huge advantage, how could something go wrong?
Although this feeling of his has saved him many times, it is just a feeling after all.
It cannot be taken seriously.
¡°Perhaps those few rescues were just a coincidence.
To be honest, even Jack himself is not very clear about his innate ability.
So, when everyone around him said this, Jack stopped talking.
What they don¡¯t know is that from the southern end of the sea between Manhattan and Manhattan Island, there are 120 iron fishing boats quickly heading towards the battlefield.
These iron fishing boats are painted in blue paint and are difficult to spot in the dim night.
And these ships were ordered not to turn on their lights before entering the battlefield.
Therefore, the pirates did not see these iron boats one nautical mile away.
This is Manhattan¡¯s secret weapon, the rapid response fleet.
"Sir! The rapid response fleet has arrived one nautical mile away. Should we withdraw from the battlefield now to make room for them?"
Through the walkie-talkie, the quick reaction force communicated with the Manhattan fleet ahead and informed them of their arrival.
The walkie-talkie was originally made by Song Hu and used by the Abyss Cult to fool believers.
But now they are all supplied to the fleet to deal with pirates.
The signal range of this walkie-talkie is ten kilometers, and it was a product used on construction sites in later generations.
But in this era, it comes in handy.
With the advent of walkie-talkies, there is no need to signal in the dark between ships on nights like this. Just by speaking, you can inform everyone of your orders.
Therefore, the battleships of the Manhattan Fleet usually move faster than the pirates.
If the number wasn't too small, they probably wouldn't be the pirates' opponents.
Of course, because the number of walkie-talkies is so small, there are only a few dozen.
Therefore, it is impossible for every warship in the fleet to be equipped with this kind of equipment.
However, the commander on the flagship must have one, and some surrounding warships must also be equipped with one.
When they receive the order, they can wave the wind lantern to the surrounding ships within the visual range to notify them.
"Order, everyone should leave this sea area and make way for the rapid response fleet!"
After receiving the news, the Chinese-origin commander of the Manhattan Fleet excitedly clapped his hands and then ordered.
"Look, the Manhattan fleet is turning around and preparing to retreat!"
After receiving the order, the Manhattan battleships began to turn around.
It takes a long time to turn a sailboat around once, and it is very troublesome.
After the pirates saw this situation, they all started shouting excitedly.
Because this is a signal for the Manhattan fleet to retreat, it also means that they have won this battle, right?
Without the obstruction of the Manhattan fleet, the pirate army can march straight in and attack the port of Manhattan.
Blackbeard Jack and the others at the rear also discovered this situation.
Everyone came to the deck guardrail one after another and put the monocular binoculars in their eyes to take a look.
"It's true, it's true, the Manhattan Fleet has begun to retreat, and we have won!"
Someone shouted happily.
"It's really too weak. It's just a two-hour naval battle, and these Manhattanites can't do it. They were very brave at first. I thought they were tough."
Someone muttered.
Blackbeard Jack remained silent, because he was getting more and more uncomfortable now, and this feeling made him uncomfortable all over.
But when everyone is happy, it¡¯s hard for him to say anything to pour cold water on everyone.
After all, they are indeed victorious in the current situation.
The firing from the forts on both sides of the strait continues, but now the threat to the pirates is not very great.
However, the pirates on both sides continued to attack the fort.
Blackbeard raised his hand and slapped himself on the face to make himself more energetic.
"Continue the attack, target Manhattan Harbor!"
Oh ho ho! ¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"Offensive, damn it, what is this explosive weapon? Is this a weapon of Satan? Damn it, the Song Dynasty people actually have such a terrible weapon!"
The attack on the fort continued, but the pirates did not make much progress.
Apart from dropping a few corpses every time they attack, they accomplish nothing at all.
The two thousand temporary pirate force sent to seize the fort had already lost five to six hundred people by this time.
This is the limit that the pirates can endure.
After all, these pirates are all temporarily organized and pieced together troops.
Therefore, in the face of such huge human sacrifices, it is impossible for them to continue to fight bravely.
As for the scary Blackbeard, it¡¯s up to the devil to take care of him.
Anyway, the pirates now are not willing to attack.
But there are still some brave guys who are willing to give it a try under the stimulation of gold coins.
But such people will eventually become one of the corpses.
"Look, everyone, the battle on the sea is over, and the Manhattan fleet is retreating!"
On the hillside, the pirates could vaguely see some things.
"So we can take a break and don't have to continue attacking the fort."
?????????????????????????????????????????? ????
"Oh my god, this is simply a nightmare, a nightmare that I will never forget in my life. The terrible Song people, two thousand of us can't take such a small place, it's really incomprehensible."
The pirates who attacked the fort suddenly relaxed and started talking among themselves.
Yes, the battle on the sea is over, which means that things on the fort are no longer very important.
Therefore, they don¡¯t need to rush to continue the attack, right?
¡°And the pirate army will continue to attack Manhattan Harbor, and there will definitely be a landing battle there.
Rather than doing this, they might as well stay at the fort and pretend to continue attacking the fort.
Seeing that everyone has relaxed, the temporarily elected leader can only obey everyone's wishes at this time.
But they didn¡¯t know that on the other side of the hillside, a Manhattan Army unit of 500 people was climbing up the hillside. (To be continued.
