Chapter 54: The Torch

At this time, most of the enemy had completely surrendered, and the wooden sea ships that had automatically lowered their sails floated quietly on the surface of the sea, not daring to move at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

There are only three pirate ships, and the sails have not yet been lowered, but, looking at the bullet holes in the hull, it seems that the pirates above have little ability to resist.

Under the cover of several 300-1 bazookas with 300 arrows, which were modified from the arrows of a hundred tigers, the Marines easily passed through the temporary trestle and rushed to one of the pirate ships.

Regardless of whether the enemy was able to resist or not, the Marines rushed forward and shouted the slogan "Kneel to avoid death" while casually killing any enemy who did not kneel.

Regardless of whether the other party has a weapon in his hand or not, and whether the other party does not hear or understand, as long as he does not kneel on the ground, he will inevitably be hit all at once.

In fact, the pirates on this ship were not unwilling to surrender, and most of them were wiped out by high-explosive shells in the artillery battle just now.

And the rest of the people were also blinded by the fierce artillery fire just now, and by this time, they couldn't react to what had happened.

A lot of guys, in this situation, lost their lives in a daze.

Fortunately, after the sound of fighting and screaming on the upper deck reached the cabin below, the pirates inside were a little more sober, and most of the survivors did not resist any longer, and obediently knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Therefore, it took less than 10 minutes to completely occupy this pirate ship.

After taking full control of the ship, the Marines all the prisoners were taken to the bottom where the ballast stones were mounted, and then a squad of musketeers was left to watch over them, while the others returned to the upper deck, to the all-steel test ship.

Next, the Marines did the same, and boarded the second pirate ship that did not lower its sails.

However, at this time, the third pirate ship that did not lower its sails seemed to react and began to move.

However, their reaction, in the eyes of the other boats, was really very deadly.

The pirate ship actually started to run away.

There is nothing to hesitate about, although the kingdom was founded, every boat was precious, even a wooden fishing boat should be captured as much as possible.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, and when you encounter a pirate ship like the pirate ship that is running away now, this kind of die-hard element still has to kill chickens and monkeys to deter the small people around you.

There was nothing to say, a sneer appeared at the corner of Captain Li's mouth, and the all-steel test ship rushed up with an afterburner.

The speed of 19 knots far exceeded the speed of the enemy ship by 4 knots, and even in the headwind situation, it took less than 5 minutes to catch up with the enemy ship.

Seeing that the demonic big iron ship drove away, the scum of the pirate ship, which the marines had not yet cleaned up, made a few colors to each other, and suddenly broke out, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity of these "officers and soldiers" losing cover to regain control of the ship.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the soldiers of the Marine Corps, who had been conducting surprise operations along the coast of Japan since the third year of the new calendar (Note 1), and although they had little experience in large-scale warfare, they could really be said to be at home in this kind of melee.

In the face of the sudden outbreak of pirates, the marines did not panic at all, and the steel shields on both sides of each squad were raised, blocking the way of the other party, and the other members of the team cooperated with each other to easily suppress the riot.

After throwing the bodies of all the rebels into the sea, the others did not dare to move anymore.

And during this time, the all-steel test ship had already fired a salvo from the side at close range, and many rifled guns directly beat the pirate ship into a sieve.

The all-steel test ship made a large circle around the pirate ship, and the lookout lowered his binoculars and reported the situation aloud below.

Judging from the concentration of blood on the surrounding sea, as well as the ships that began to disintegrate, the people on this pirate ship must have died.

However, the commander of the all-steel test ship was still not at ease, and when he approached the position of the enemy ship about 30 meters, two heavy shells of 105 mm caliber smashed down from the upper deck of the enemy ship, directly penetrating the bottom of the enemy ship, and completely hitting the enemy ship to the bottom of the sea.

On a whim, the captain pulled the whistle cord next to the steering wheel.

The next moment, "······· beet" A loud and loud chirp resounded through the sea, as if the roar of a dragon was terrifying.

Sure enough, the murderous method of "abusing the corpse" directly against a sinking ship just now, coupled with the roar of a giant just now, was fiercely imprinted in the hearts of all enemies, and no pirate ship dared to play tricks anymore, and all obediently stopped there waiting for their fate to be decided.

The all-steel test ship returned to the pirate ship that the Marines had captured just now, and picked up the Marines who had taken control of the pirate ship.

Next, the Marines began to pack up the ships that had lowered their sails and had already surrendered.

The people of the Marine Corps were very cautious and did not be greedy for merit, and chose to deal with it slowly one by one.

After cautiously approaching, they went up and tied them up, and then divided them into two groups according to the previous pursuers and escapees, and held them separately.

Half an hour later, the nearby naval ships that had received a message from the all-steel test ship Eagle Falcon slowly gathered over, and at this time, the manpower was sufficient, and the speed of dealing with the surrendered ships suddenly became faster.

With the joint efforts of everyone, when night fell, Chen Xin's ship finally docked near the dock near the fortress where the palace was located.

Because the displacement of the battleship Chen Xin was on was too large to get close to the shallow water on the shore, Chen Xin went ashore in a wooden boat.

Chen Xin, who had been transferred ashore by dinghy, turned to look at the fleet on the Yalu River and smiled.

When I set off, there was only one battleship, and when I arrived at the destination, there were more than 10 of them, including 13 captured pirate ships, and this trip was really "interesting".

Wave your hand to the adjutant.

"Your Majesty."

Chen Xin casually ordered, "Interrogate as soon as possible, and after the matter is over, send a copy of the interrogation record to the palace." ”

"Yes."

When he got here, Chen Xin didn't need to pay attention to the rest of the things, naturally there were relevant people to deal with them, Chen Xin took Anya to the carriage sent by the guards, and quickly returned to the palace in the fortress.

Note 1: The year 1630, the year when the United Kingdom of China was founded, was not designated as the first year as the previous dynasties. Instead, a different way of dating is adopted.

In order to commemorate the indomitable struggle of the Chinese people, the fire was lit in the hometown occupied by the Tatars, and the kingdom set the year of Chen Xin's army (that is, the year when Chen Xin crossed) as the first year, and determined the era name as "Flame".

The name of the "fire" indicates that the United Kingdom of China was a new orthodox dynasty established after the expulsion of the Tatars and the restoration of China.

Counting from this time beginning, the year of the founding of the country in 1630 has become orthodox for 5 years.

This is different from the chronological method of the original Chinese dynasties, so it is called the new calendar.
