Fernando was not very clear that those pirates were actually found by Joao.
After Joao contacted Randolph, he did not stay among the pirates and went back to wait for good news from Randolph. If he appeared among the pirates, he would be spurned by other countries.
As long as the pirates see a benefit, they will definitely flock to him. They are not surprised at all that Randolph will appear here. They must have heard about Zhu Xuan's wealth.
"Pirates? They want to rob me?"
Zhu Xuan was a little surprised when he heard the news.
But since he hasn't played pirates for a long time, his hands are a little itchy, so he will use them to practice his skills.
Adelaide said loudly: "Grandson of the Ming Dynasty, Randolph is the most powerful pirate here. He has more than 20,000 men and hundreds of warships. How about we go back and escape first?" Randolph was afraid to go in deeply.”
Turner agreed: "Adelaide is right, let's go back first and wait until Randolph is gone before leaving, right?"
Alfonso was a little afraid of death and asked cautiously: "I...can I get off the boat first?"
"Does that pirate have any background?"
Zhu Xuan is not afraid of pirates with hundreds of ships.
Everyone on the ship, except Cen Jing's brother and sister, was a little worried. No one was afraid of pirates. Back in Annan and the Japanese country, their big ships were crossing the sea, and the pirates could only run away when they saw them.
Fernando said loudly: "Those pirates have no background, but they are very strong. No one here is our opponent. They are almost like kings who occupy other islands."
Since he has no background, Zhu Xuan need not be afraid.
Even if they have a big background, it doesn't matter. This is the West. They can run away after fighting, or they can just walk away if they can't be beaten. No one can catch up.
"If you are scared, you can get off the boat at any time, but once you get down, you can't come back up."
Zhu Xuan faced the Yingtian ship and said loudly: "Let's go meet those pirates now. There is no need to avoid them."
Hearing that he was going to fight pirates, Adelaide and others hesitated.
However, the two merchants took their own people off the ship first, and Zhu Xuan asked the Yingtian ship to dock and cooperated with them to leave.
"I believe in the Ming Dynasty Emperor Sun."
Adelaide saw Zhu Xuan's calmness and immediately made his own judgment, saying: "I don't think there is a need to get off the boat."
Cardinal Turner saw it and smiled: "Since Adelaide won't leave, then I won't leave either. I believe in the grandson of the Ming Emperor."
Alfonso was so panicked that he had no choice but to look at his father for help.
He wanted to get off the ship, but Fernando saw that rich people like Adelaide were not afraid of death, and thought of Zhu Xuan and his warships, which smashed a João Navy ship with one shot, and he immediately regained his confidence.
"Alfonso, stay on board."
Fernando said decisively.
Alfonso was about to cry but had no choice but to stay.
"Keep going."
Zhu Xuan said loudly.
He is not afraid of pirates at all.
The soldiers on the ship, Li Niu and Wang Er, suddenly became excited. They had not tried to bombard the Japanese pirates for a long time.
Those pirates are the unlucky ones, and they must be found to rob.
It's almost like courting death.
The three warships rode the wind and waves at very fast speeds.
Fernando tried to catch up in a boat, but he couldn't keep up.
It wasn't long before they arrived near Gibraltar.
Randolph was on the largest pirate ship, and there were two ocean horses beside him, helping him massage his hands and feet, and he knew how to enjoy it.
"Chief, here we come!"
A pirate ran in and said.
Randolph drank the wine next to him in one gulp, put on his clothes and walked out, saying: "Finally they are here, just hit them and don't let them leave alive."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the appearance of three super ships in the distance. He was stunned. He thought that the ships in the East were big, but he didn't expect them to be so ridiculously big.
Is this still a ship?
It's literally a moving castle.
However, Randolph looked at the hundreds of warships around him, his confidence returned, and shouted: "Go quickly and knock down those ships!"
The pirates who followed were also confused when they saw such a big ship.
Hearing Randolph's urging, they felt that since they had more people, they should have no problem dealing with three large ships, so they roared and killed them.
"Your Highness, the pirates are coming."
Wang Er rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Can I have a fight?"
Zheng He judged the distance and said: "We have entered our shooting range."
"beat!"
Zhu Xuan ordered.
"fire!"
Zheng He shouted loudly and waved his flag.
The soldiers on the other two warships saw the order flag on the Hongwu ship, which was the order to attack.
They had stuffed the cannon shells into the cannon shells long ago. They adjusted the direction of the muzzle, started the cannon, and fired out with one cannon. The cannon barrel made a blast sound, pushed the cannon shells out, and bombarded the dozens of pirate ships that were surging over.
boom!
Dozens of cannonballs hit dozens of pirate ships at the same time, directly sinking a third of them.
The cannonballs exploded on the water, causing large splashes of water and streams of water that hit other pirate ships.
The pirates on the ship were either killed by the explosion, or they jumped ship in panic to escape. The first round of bombardment frightened them out of their wits. The other pirates who were not hit by the shells were immediately weakened.
The timid pirate sat down on the ground and looked at the three large ships in disbelief.
Can these oriental people still do magic?
Are they actually that strong?
Randolph, who was on the main ship in the distance, had just received the wine from a big ocean horse. Before he could taste it, he saw that the pirate ship he sent out had been almost sunk.
The wine in his hand spilled all over the floor.
"Go quickly, retreat!"
Randolph was a man who knew how to judge situations.
The warships of the Eastern Ming Dynasty were so terrifying, and no matter how many pirates they went to, they would die. He regretted it now and wanted to drag Joao out and whip him.
The order to retreat was passed on.
The remaining pirates saw their side being attacked again. They were more afraid than Randolph, because in the event of a fight, they would be cannon fodder. Now they could retreat and ran away without saying a word.
Adelaide, Turner and Alfonso rubbed their eyes vigorously.
No wonder Zhu Xuan was able to sail so far from the Eastern Ming Dynasty to the West unscathed.
The weapons on those big ships are so powerful that it would not be a problem to hit them all in the west.
Adelaide was covered in cold sweat. Before that, he had wanted to plan for the Ming Dynasty where there would be plenty of gold. Now he no longer had that idea and just wanted to do business and make a lot of money.
Otherwise, they will be blasted by the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Highness, they are running away."
Yan Guan said.
Zhu Xuan looked at it with the telescope for a while, then hummed: "Come when you want, leave when you want? Have you asked me? Chase after them, and help them get rid of the evil in the West!"
There is no benefit to these pirates staying.
In the future, if we want to trade with the West, even if we go through the Red Sea, we may encounter them, but we will still be able to eliminate convenience in advance.
Including the pirates in the Gulf of Aden, who were killed on the way back.
