Chapter 159: This Battle Can't Be Fought

He Tianxing put down the telescope in his hand, and his body shook a few times, he knew that he might not be able to pass this level today. Decades of foundation, how can you say that you can throw it away.

He shook off He Wu's hand and shouted hysterically: "Brothers, they came in, everyone don't want to live, we fought with them ......"

The pirates on the island also roared loudly, these fierce pirates have been floating on the sea all the year round, all doing businessless business, they have already lived enough in this life, and they are all the masters who do not want to die.

But as two piercing whistling sounds streaked through the space, two 120-mm mortars exploded on the island. A shell landed right between a dilapidated wooden house. In an instant, the wooden house was swept away.

The other was smashed next to an improvised fort, and a dozen pirates on the turret were scattered by the impact of the cannonballs, and their flesh and blood fell into the distance, and they couldn't live. Even the heavy artillery on the fort was lifted into the air.

He Wuyi grabbed He Tianxing and shouted, "Big brother, let's go, it's still too late to leave......"

He Tianxing turned his head violently, stared at He Wu deadly, and said gloomily: "My life's work is here, you actually let me leave, Old Five, you can go......"

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Two more violent explosions rang out not far from them, followed by a terrible scream. He Tianxing closed his eyes in pain, he now knew that he had provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked.

I was cautious all my life, but I didn't expect that the old ones would be gone. This island can't be saved, but how can he be willing, if he is young, he believes that he can still have a chance to make a comeback, but at this age, how can he still have such ambitions.

With an earth-shattering explosion, it continued to sound on the pirate island. The originally fierce pirates are now frightened, running around and hiding, and the entire pirate island is in chaos.

He Tianxing looked at this qiē sluggishly, his heart was full of despair, and he smiled bitterly at He Wu next to him: "Old Wu, listen to your ...... Let's go......"

I just want to leave now, it's too late. A 120-mm mortar shell fell with a bang not far away, and He Wu felt that he was pushed by a huge force in an instant, and his body flew backwards.

With a "bang", he fell to the ground in the distance, and he hurriedly struggled to get up, watching He Tianxing's head being cut off in half.

He thumped the ground in pain, and lay on his back on the ground, silently listening to the loud explosions and the wails of the pirates. He knew that the foundation of Pirate Island was over.

He Wu slowly got up, looking at the devastated island, the corpses scattered around, the pirates running in panic, and of course, the loud explosions.

He was already disheartened, and he couldn't resist such a powerful opponent. Although the boss is dead, he always has to find a way to live for these old brothers who have followed the boss for many years. It's better to come down, if you can really follow those people outside, maybe you can mix up some fame in the future.

With the fall of 120 mm shells, the pirates on the island had long since lost their fighting spirit, and in the face of such ferocious artillery fire, they had become god-like to those outside.

It was easy for He Wu to gather a group of dejected pirate ship leaders and tell them what they meant to surrender and sacrifice the island. Unexpectedly, as soon as the pirates heard this, they immediately agreed. This battle can't be fought.

Everyone is a pirate who eats at sea, since Boss He is dead, everyone has to find a way to live again, if not, they will take refuge in these people outside, their strength will be seen when they fight at sea, this time there is such a powerful artillery, with such a force, it will always be much more nourishing than before.

Pirates are more realistic, and although they are not afraid of death when fighting, they are definitely not reckless. He Wu saw that everyone had no opinions, so he braved the artillery fire and sailed out of the bay in a small boat.

Qiao Haipeng took the binoculars to observe the shelling, two 120mm mortars have carried out more than a dozen rounds of shelling, although the shelling effect is not very good, but the pressure on the pirate island is very great.

As you can see from the binoculars, the entire pirate island is completely in chaos. The deterrent power of 120mm mortars, in the eyes of pirates in this era, is the punishment of heaven, just a dozen rounds of shelling, has already completely collapsed the hearts of the pirates on the island.

Suddenly, Qiao Haipeng saw a small boat rowing out of the island. He immediately turned around and said, "It seems that the pirates on the island can't stand it, let a few people drive the dinghy over to have a look." ”

He Wu personally took a boat out of the island to see Qiao Haipeng, knelt down and kowtowed violently, and explained the meaning of surrendering and offering the island. Qiao Haipeng readily agreed, the other party's boss had already been beheaded, so there was no need to kill them all.

Directly took over the pirate island with the fleet, and more than a thousand pirates knelt down under the leadership of their leader. They watched as a neat procession of pirates stepped down from the ship, stressing the battle-hardened pirates.

A few days later, four Spanish galleons and a dozen swiftly armed merchant ships of British pirates slowly sailed into the bay of Pirate Island.

Qiao Haipeng stood on the dock, watched the sailboats sail into the harbor, and smiled at Lu Gamble beside him: "This place will be our Far East in the future, it's really a good place." ”

Lu Ganbo also nodded and said: "He Tianxing is indeed a talent, there are a lot of materials stored on the island, if we didn't destroy him this time, we might be able to become a character in Nanyang in the future." The food looted here alone is enough for the pirates on the island to eat for a few years, and he also collects stolen goods here, and all kinds of stolen goods on the island are piled up in several warehouses. And I don't know where he found a large number of craftsmen, there are hundreds of them, and his ambition is not small. ”

Qiao Haipeng suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and asked Lu Ganbo: "Old Lu, how is that pirate named He Wu now?" We don't have time to take care of this island, and somebody has to keep these pirates in their hands. I think this kid is good, there are more than a thousand pirates here who can't let them go. Maybe I'll be able to use it in the future. ”

Lu Ganbo frowned and said, "He Wu can't do it, he is He Tianxing's old brother, can we rest assured?" ”

Qiao Haipeng said with a smile: "It's okay, I talked to him alone, he didn't hold a grudge against us about He Tianxing's death, after all, He Tianxing provoked us first." They float on the sea every day, sitting on a business without a book, which one does not tie their heads to the waistband of their trousers.

They are often the most realistic, without He Tianxing, if these people disperse, they will immediately defect to another powerful force. He Wu and a group of pirate leaders have made it clear that they are loyal to us.

The biggest advantage of He Wu is that he has no ambition, and he used to be the number two person here, and it is estimated that another person will not be able to control these pirates. And he has seen our strength, does he dare to have any more ideas? We're just nurturing them, not recruiting them. ”

The two were chatting, and Zhou Cheng walked in from outside. "Commander, that Spanish nobleman wants to see you and say that he has something important to tell you."

Qiao Haipeng was stunned for a moment, he thought for a moment and said, "Then bring him over, I want to see what important things he has." ”

Zhou Cheng nodded and went out, and after a while, he brought in a middle-aged foreign devil. Qiao Haipeng and Lu Gambo looked at him and found that although this foreign devil's body was a little dirty, his clothes were full of wrinkles, and his hair was a little messy. But the body of this foreign devil is very straight, and the movements and eyes give people a very elegant feeling, and there is no sense of artificiality.

"Gentlemen, introduce yourself, I am Albert ......"

With an impatient wave of his hand, Lugumbo said in English: "Don't talk nonsense, we're busy, you only have ten minutes." ”

Sir Albert was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "I am an envoy of the kingdom, and I am specially taking a boat to Manila. Governor Victor of Manila will return to China next year to report on his duties, and my duty is to represent the kingdom and Governor Victor who is about to return to China, and do some handover inspections, of course, this is all formal. ”

When he said this, he saw that Qiao Haipeng and Lu Gambo's faces were already impatient, so he immediately continued: "In addition to the above-mentioned work, I also have to escort the materials collected in Manila for several years back to the mainland. These included large quantities of gold, as well as Indian gemstones, as well as valuables such as spices.

There is also the personal luggage of the governor of Victor, which is said to also contain a large number of precious treasures, although not as many as those of the kingdom, but all of them are valuable treasures. This time I brought a ship to carry this precious goods from the kingdom. ”

Qiao Haipeng and Lu Gambo glanced at each other, although what this foreign devil said was shocking, but they didn't understand why he said this to them, did he want us to rob Manila. That's, isn't it?

Sir Albert spoke again: "You may still not understand what I say, and even if you did, you would not believe me. Although I am a nobleman, my family has long since declined, and in order to gain this opportunity to be an envoy, I sold all my possessions, including the house I inherited from my family.

The two ships were filled with silver coins and goods from countless magnates of the kingdom and the New World, all undeclared items, with a total value of nearly four million pesos. I can't go back to the kingdom anymore, even in the New World, I don't dare to set foot another step in this life. And no one will spend money to ransom me, hehe...... Now I can only tell you the news. ”

Although Qiao Haipeng and Lu Gambo were itchy by Albert, they did not express their position, Qiao Haipeng said with a smile: "Then you mean that you want us to capture Manila and snatch that batch of precious treasures and gold." ”

After he finished speaking, he laughed with Lugambo, who shook his head and smiled: "Sir Albert, I understand your kindness, you don't have to worry, we will not kill you, we will give you the treatment of a prisoner of war." But you're kidding us to loot Manila. Please go back...... "R1152
