The four Spanish galleons suddenly and inexplicably stopped, causing all the pirates to cheer. They didn't know why, but they knew it was done.

Captain Wood looked at the four huge sailboats in the distance with a telescope, and said to Hall next to him with a smile, "What's going on with those four ships?" Why don't they run, have they already figured it out and know that they can't run even if they want to. ”

Hall also smiled and said: "Captain, shouldn't we also go over, these Spanish warships are estimated to have little combat effectiveness." We'd better leave them alone and leave them to fend for themselves. ”

Wood thought for a moment and said, "Then leave a few ships to watch them, don't let the Spanish warships move, and the rest will go to the big ships." Ha ha...... After this time, we will return to the UK, and we will stop doing this business in the future, and enjoy life comfortably. ”

Hall also smiled and said, "Are those ships really loaded with silver ingots and goods from the New World?" ”

Wood patted Hall on the shoulder and said, "You know where the news came from this time. Hey...... It's not that you don't know the skills of those guys, if you change to someone else, how can you get such valuable information. ”

Wood laughed out loud when he finished speaking, and then said to Hall: "Brother, go and gather all the ships, we are going to get down to business, leave a few wounded ships and watch these Spanish warships." ”

After the "Black Pearl" broke the rudders of several Spanish galleons, they began to circle around the periphery of several ships, and now their only hope was that Qiao Haipeng could lead the fleet to arrive a day earlier.

According to the last time Qiao Haipeng was contacted, more than an hour had passed, and everyone was anxious, and Li Shaojie had no choice but to contact Qiao Haipeng again.

"Boss, where is the fleet? We're going to get dry here, and if you don't come again, we'll run away. ”

On the other end of the microphone, Qiao Haipeng's voice immediately came: "Xiao Li, the fleet is still more than twenty minutes away from your sea area, you hold on for a while." If you are in a crisis, you can temporarily withdraw from the fighting. ”

Li Shaojie smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Okay, I'm holding on for a while, you guys try to be as fast as possible." ”

The people around heard Qiao Haipeng's words, although they were also a little disappointed, but at least they had a bottom in their hearts, twenty minutes would soon pass, and the naval battle in the era of sailboats, maybe the sailboats would turn their heads casually in the sea, and they would have to score eight points out of ten.

Just when everyone was thinking nonsense, Qiu Lei next to him suddenly shouted: "Shaojie, those pirates are here." ”

When everyone heard Qiu Lei's words, they hurriedly rushed to the side of the ship on the right, and more than a dozen pirate ships had already left the few Spanish warships covered in bruises and were heading here.

Li Shaojie frowned and thought for a while, and then said solemnly: "It seems that we can't avoid this battle." In that case, let's just take down a galleon with their cover, what do you think? ”

Van Bit nodded and said, "If we take down a Spanish galleon with a repeating firearm, it should be no problem." But I reckon that after we take the galleon, we will have to be careful of the calculations of the British. ”

Qiu Lei said hatefully: "Hmph...... Anyway, the commander is coming, and we don't have to hide it, we have taken the galleon, and we will simply turn our faces, relying on the modern weapons in our hands, although the attack is insufficient, but it should be no problem to defend. ”

As soon as Li Shaojie saw that everyone had no opinions, he ruthlessly issued a combat order.

"Lao Fan and Qiu Lei, you take twenty Dutch sailors and ten officers and men of the Admiralty to stay behind on the Black Pearl. Fujita and I were in charge of capturing the galleon with fifty samurai of the Death Army, as well as ten officers and men of the Admiralty.

Two PK general-purpose machine guns and four snipers were deployed on the main and rear masts to suppress the Spanish defenders on the deck of the galleon, and the ship was equipped with three 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, all of which were equipped with armor-piercing incendiary bombs to prevent the British from sneaking attacks. “

Qiu Lei stopped doing it when he heard it, and said hurriedly: "Xiaojie, I'll lead the people there, you and Lao Fan are guarding here." ”

Li Shaojie waved his hand and said: "Don't think that you are easy here, once those pirates turn their faces, the "Black Pearl" is their first target, and you have a great responsibility." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Qiu Lei, and shouted directly at the people on the boat: "Everyone go and prepare immediately!" Put on all the equipment, it is estimated that there will be work to be done soon, and we must hold this galleon before the fleet dares to arrive. These stupid pirates probably didn't know that the rudder of these galleons was broken, and even if they took the others, they wouldn't be able to drive away. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard Li Shaojie's words, and then went to prepare. Li Shaojie also took out an AK-74 automatic rifle, stuffed the ammunition on his body to the brim, and took a few grenades and tear gas canisters. When the galleons were captured a while, the effect of tear gas should have been greater. This time, they deliberately brought dozens of gas masks to use when using gas bombs.

Suddenly, Van Pitt shouted, "Sir, the Brits have sent a signal to us to be ready to take the ship at any time." ”

Li Shaojie nodded and said, "Old Fan, in a while, you will organize the Dutch sailors to equip them with arquebuses, and load the 18-pounder guns in the cabin with shells, ready to fire at any time." If you really can't do it, you can drive the boat out and leave us alone. In order to seize the ship's goods, they would not have sunk the galleon. ”

"Bang...... Bang ......"

Rumbling cannons rang out in the distance. The pirates attacked, and more than a dozen pirate ships continued to fire around several Spanish galleons.

One after another 18-pound solid shells smashed into the galleon, because the tail rudder of the galleon was damaged, and now it had to stay where it was and be beaten passively, but the Spaniards were very tenacious and desperately fought back with heavy artillery.

The sea seemed to be boiling, the sound of artillery was incessant, and countless gunpowder smoke filled the surroundings. The Black Pearl also approached, and as soon as the pirates had suppressed the galleon's fire, they were ready to board.

"Wood, that Akito is going to lead his men and take the largest Spanish ship on his own. That ship should have been staffed with quite a few Spanish soldiers, and they were so sure? ”

Captain Wood smiled and said, "Promise them, they have this strength, but the casualties will definitely not be small." Hey...... As soon as they get their hands on them, you take them up and kill them all while they're unprepared.

We will also send a ship at sea to stop next to their ship, and if we receive your signal, we will attack them as well. We've got a few other boats as well, haha...... If we succeed today, we will become the second privateer captain in the kingdom after Captain Drake, and the royal family may be able to honor us. ”

With the continuous bombardment of more than a dozen pirate ships, the four Spanish galleons that could not move in place could only be beaten passively, the artillery fire was getting weaker and weaker, and the casualties were heavy.

The Far East Training Fleet was heading at full speed towards the sea area where Li Shaojie and the others were. After Qiao Haipeng and Li Shaojie finished talking, they turned around and shouted to the communication staff officer behind him: "Inform all ships and move forward at full speed......"

He is anxious now, from Li Shaojie's words, he has already heard the strict nature of the problem, if they go late, not to mention that a few Spanish galleons can't grab it, if they don't get Li Shaojie, they will have to get in.

Suddenly, the Admiralty soldier in charge of observation on the mainmast shouted: "Commander, a large number of unknown ships have been found in the direction of ten o'clock......"

Qiao Haipeng "chuckled" in his heart, the more he hurried, the more troublesome he had. He hurriedly ran to the port side, picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance. Between the sea and the sky in the distance, there is a large shadow of sails, and there are more than 100 large and small sea ships. His face suddenly darkened.

At this time, Lu Gamble's voice came from the earphones: "Old Joe, you have seen the fleet in front." Where are these guys coming from? ”

Qiao Haipeng exhaled deeply, and then said solemnly: "It should be the pirates on that pirate island, those Brits think they don't know it, but they have more than 20 boats, how can they hide from this gang of local snakes." These guys are hiding here probably to be yellow finches and play a trick of black eating black. ”

"They have a lot of ships, I estimate that there are more than a hundred pirate ships, large and small, what should we do?"

Qiao Haipeng said coldly: "What else can I do, Li Shaojie and they are still in front, and there will be danger at any time, so they can only rush over at a cost......

After speaking, he turned around and shouted to a staff officer next to him: "Sound the alarm and prepare for battle......

"Uh......h Woo......"

The shrill sirens sounded on all the sailboats, and the whole fleet was immediately busy, and all the officers and men of the navy put on their equipment and went to various combat posts.

Qiao Haipeng picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Everyone, our comrades-in-arms have fallen into a dangerous situation. Now there are a large number of pirates in front of us, and they have more than a hundred ships, which is more than ten times our number.

I command you, no...... Now I implore you, for the sake of our comrades-in-arms and our brothers, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of us, we must fight our way out of the bloody way to rescue our comrades-in-arms and brothers in danger. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar on the No. 1 sailboat, and everyone was red-eyed and roared loudly, and the green tendons on their necks jumped up and down with their roars.

At the same time, there was a roar from the other sailboats. Whether it was the officers and men of the Admiralty, or the samurai of the Japanese daredevils, even those Dutch sailors were roaring loudly and frantically.

Qiao Haipeng turned around and shouted to the Dutch captain Koeman beside him: "Hang the sails, seize the upper hand, let's rush over......"

He Tianxing stood on a pirate ship with his hands behind his back, looking at the sea in the distance. He Wu next to him said with a smile: "Big brother, if this transaction is completed, the entire Nanyang will be yours in the future." ”

Hearing this old brother's words, He Tianxing laughed and said: "These guys really don't take us seriously, such a big scene, they think they can hide from us, it's really a joke." I guess it's almost now, let the brothers prepare, and we'll go and join in the fun. ”

Suddenly, a pirate ran over and shouted, "Big brother, there are a few ships in the distance, it seems to be Hongyi's big plywood ship." ”

He Tianxing turned around violently, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then laughed and said, "The big deal hasn't been discussed yet, so it's a door-to-door one." Sue sù brothers, get these boats off me, get an appetizer to taste first, and then Lao Tzu will take you to eat a big dish. ”R1152
