Chapter 83 It's not that you don't report it, the time has not yet come
On the flagship, the colonel looked serious, staring at the two warships approaching.
"Prepare for battle!"
The colonel's white-gloved right hand snapped and gave the order.
In an instant, the British soldiers on the flagship were all ready with guns in hand. Although the soldiers were in a neat line, the flickering eyes showed that these soldiers were no longer confident in their hearts and could not fight with all their might.
"Wow!"
After the flagship leaked, seawater continued to seep in, causing the flagship's hull to slowly sink.
The bow of the flagship sank first, causing eddies to gradually appear under the bow, and even brought up a sea breeze. At the same time, the hull of the flagship tilted slightly, and the British troops who had just stood neatly immediately staggered, and even some British soldiers could not stand firmly, so they fell directly to the ground and slid to the bow of the ship.
This was true of the British soldiers, as well as of the French soldiers on board.
The British and French soldiers lost their composure.
At this moment, the British and French troops who were showing off their might were like drowning people, and they had lost their energy.
"Colonel, the flagship is leaking, the hull is sinking, if we continue to stay on board, we will sink to the bottom of the sea with the battleship." The flagship tilted and began to sink, and the French staff officers hurried over.
However, before the French staff officer could get to the colonel, he fell on the deck because of the tilt of the flagship. Then it slipped to the inclined bow of the flagship, and because the side of the ship had been blown up, the French staff officer flew directly out of the deck, flew in the air in a parabolic arc, and then quickly fell into the blue sea, and quickly disappeared from sight.
The corners of the colonel's mouth twitched slightly, and a sad look appeared on his face, sad for the death of the French staff officer. The colonel took a look at the situation on the flagship deck and knew that if he didn't get off the ship, he would be dead.
"Get off the boat, get off board."
The colonel gritted his teeth and took the advice of the French staff officer.
"Mr. Colonel, there are still two thousand pounds of opium on the ship, and I can't give it up. If the warship sank to the bottom of the sea forever, all the 2,000 catties of opium I had bought with all my wealth would sink into the sea, and I would lose all my money. ”
The British merchant looked pleading as if he were a dead dog overboard.
The colonel was in a bad mood and did not intend to deal with the merchants, so he shouted in a cold-blooded voice: "If you don't get off the ship, you will die with opium." After a pause, the colonel ordered in a loud voice: "All disembark, quickly, if it is late, it will sink to the bottom of the sea." ”
The British merchant stood on the deck in a daze.
No one cares about the merchants, and they all want to run for their lives.
Even the merchant's servants were running in all directions, just thinking about getting off the ship and saving their lives.
The merchant looked around blankly, lost his soul, and muttered to himself: "These two thousand catties of opium have exhausted all their savings. If I don't get all my money, how can I make money? How do you pay off your debts? I can't give up, I can't do this to me! ”
The merchant ran to the colonel's side again and pleaded with the colonel.
Even if he took away more than 100 catties of opium, he could sell it and earn back some blood.
The colonel said indifferently: "Your Excellency, do you know who is more important than opium or the lives of soldiers? It is clear that the lives of the soldiers of the Reich are more important. More than a hundred catties of opium is enough to occupy the position of one soldier, and even cause two soldiers of the empire to have no place and can only stay on the ship and wait for death. It is shameful that you have disregarded the lives of your soldiers for money, and I refuse your unreasonable request. ”
"Unreasonable??"
The merchant laughed, a sarcastic look on his face.
In fact, the battleship was about to sink, and the British and French soldiers on it had to escape, and there were not many ships prepared, and it was impossible to carry opium without soldiers, so the merchant's request was not allowed by the colonel.
The merchant was crazy and laughed: "Without us selling opium, would the people of the Qing Kingdom be able to weaken their physique?" Without us selling opium, would the soldiers of the Qing Kingdom be vulnerable? Without us selling opium, would the empire be able to open the door to the Qing Kingdom? ”
After the colonel heard this, his eyes were cold, and his white teeth were exposed, shining with Sen Leng's murderous intent.
The merchant's words angered the colonel.
It's just that the moment the colonel's hand holds the gun, it lets go again.
"Don't save me, don't save my life, hahaha......" The merchant trembled to the side of the ship, his loose hair more like a chicken coop in the sea breeze.
Under the sea breeze, the merchant's clothes were hunting, and the clothes clung to his body, revealing lumps of fat flesh. The merchant looked down at the sea below the side of the ship, a flash of fear in his eyes. In an instant, the fear in his eyes was replaced by despair, and then turned into a determined death.
"Ahh
The merchant roared, grabbed the railing of the ship's side with his big fat hand, and leaped over.
In an instant, the fat body fell to the side of the ship.
As his body fell, countless thoughts flashed through the merchant's mind, and the scenes of the past were unfolded in front of him, making the merchant feel that what he had done was unreasonable. The moment the body fell into the water, a Chinese phrase came to mind.
It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come!
"Whoa!"
The water splashed and the merchant fell into the water, setting off waves of ripples.
"Gollum! Grunt! ”
The sea bubbles and then calms down.
On the deck of the flagship, the captain glanced at the merchant who had already jumped into the sea, with a look of indifference on his face, and even felt that the merchant should jump into the sea.
The colonel looked serious and said coldly: "Quick, all get off the ship!" As he spoke, the colonel began to disembark quickly, not daring to stay on deck. The British and French soldiers on the other two battleships also began to disembark one after another, leaving in small boats.
The colonel got into the boat and yelled, "Speed up, or you'll be swept up in the whirlpool." ”
The sinking of the bows of the flagship has caused a whirlpool to form. Once the boat was affected by the flowing water, and then swept into the swirling current, it was absolutely dead or alive, and all the colonels kept urging them to get out quickly.
Small boats, quickly moving away from the ship.
Similarly, the other two battleships were covered with small boats, crawling out like ants.
Li Zhen stood on the deck, looking at the British and French soldiers fleeing from a distance, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. The British and French warships began to sink, and Li Zhen ordered to stop advancing, so as not to be affected by the vortex caused by the sinking of the battleships, and quietly waited for the small boats of the British and French soldiers to come.
First, it's time to pay off the debt.
Li Zhen instructed: "Order Zhu Wu to let the soldiers shoot the British and French soldiers who fell into the water." ”
"Yes, I'll go."
Lu Shaochuan responded excitedly and immediately asked people to convey the news.
When the special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion heard Li Zhen's order, they quickly raised their guns and aimed at the British and French soldiers sitting in the small boat and opened fire. In an instant, a series of gunshots rang out, and a dense stream of bullets shot out like a pouring rain, hitting the British and French soldiers in the boat. The British and French soldiers kept dodging the flying bullets, which made the boat bobbing and unable to keep it steady.
Some of the boats capsized directly, and the embarrassed British and French soldiers were even more in a hurry. The colonel gritted his teeth and, on the one hand, organized the soldiers to counterattack, and on the other hand, ordered the soldiers to row to break through.
Kill it, and there's still a chance to survive.
ps: The second of the three watches, in fact, I want to write about the sinking of the battleship of the island country, let the British test the water first. Well, let's ask for flowers.
