The sound of artillery, the sound of artillery in the Indian Ocean! In the Maldives, Goldeneye Snapper encountered the greatest humiliation in his life. He and his brothers trained in the Indian Ocean for three or four months for this robbery, but in the end someone came to cut off his beard!
The seven pirate ships moved forward with the wind and rushed in the direction of the sound of gunfire. When they were within sight, everyone was crazy!
On the sea in the distance, four Qingyang Ocean cargo ships have become living targets. In the distance to the north, two tall sail warships... also flying pirate flags, are firing at the cargo ships at close range!
These are large wooden-hulled sailboats with three decks and three firing lines. With a single salvo, the entire sea is filled with fire and gunpowder smoke!
Boom boom boom... boom boom... boom boom boom...
The shells hit Erlongkeng, Taipingqiao, Anping and Shunfeng 14 like dense rain!
These four cargo ships have been blown into a sieve. The side of the ship facing each other has been sieved, and the hulls have capsized!
If Fu Qing hadn't ordered all cargo ships to be covered with a layer of steel plates on their waterlines, otherwise these ships would have been blown to pieces after a salvo!
However, the iron plate covering the wooden shell is not much stronger. If it can withstand three volleys, it will be burned!
Boom boom... boom boom boom...
When the cannonball hit the iron plate, the two centimeter-thick steel plates deformed, the edges became warped, and the rivets fell off, just like lizards shedding their scales, and they fell into the sea with a splash!
"Fuck! Someone cut off the beard! Where did this bastard come from? He actually cut off the beard..." All the Golden Eyed Snapper's men were furious.
But Golden Eyed Snapper and several other high-achieving students from the Naval Academy who were interns all had their faces darkened, and several students leaned close to Golden Eyed Snapper and whispered.
"Sir! It's an Englishman! This damn pirate is an Englishman disguised as a pirate!"
"A sailing battleship with a three-tier firing line. If I can admit my mistake, I will drop out of school immediately... Damn it, that battleship didn't even take off the portrait on its head!"
"When I take a photo and go back to the reference room to check it out, I will know the identity of the ship just based on this portrait of the ship's head!"
"Sir, do you still want to fight? If we do this, it will trigger a conflict with the British!"
Could Goldeneye not know that this was a British ship? The most important skill of being a pirate is to be discerning. When a ship comes, you have to guess which country the ship is from as quickly as possible. Is it easy to bully?
The only two countries that can place three-tier battleships in the Indian Ocean are Britain and France, and the French fleet has been huddled in the Bay of Bengal recently. There is no French presence in this area at all.
The only possibility left is the British. Although Goldeneye Snapper doesn't know why the British would do this, there is absolutely no possibility of escaping to the UK!
"Fuck! Maybe these British officers are a little jealous of the Qing Dynasty's wealth, so they come out to find some fat jobs themselves!" Golden Eyed Snapper punched the railing.
"Sir, what should I do? Just watch... Oops, the Shunfeng 14 has capsized, and the crew fell into the water... The British sailors are shooting and killing people!"
The golden-eyed snapper yelled, "Kill them! There are not many Chinese people there, they are all hired foreign captains and sailors...I don't care about their lives!"
"What I care about is the credit and whether the task can be completed! We didn't come all the way from Naha just to watch the fun!"
"The British want to take a dick? Don't worry about him, just kill them all... They cut off the beard, we also cut off the beard! We must have a share of the spoils!"
"Take meat from the mouths of the British! Kill them... If the British dare to fire at us, we will engage in a broadside battle and fight them to the death!"
Kill! The morale of the seven pirate ships was once again high, and they pierced the battlefield like a javelin in the Indian Ocean!
At this moment, the lookout on the British flagship has reported the intelligence of seven pirate ships to the captain, and the commander is looking at the fleet in the distance with a telescope.
"Haha... this is not a pirate. Pirates do not have such a formation, and pirates will never attack against a battleship with a three-tier firing line!"
"Like us, they all have official backgrounds... Haha, except for Xiao Letian's people, I can't think of anyone who can deploy troops in the Indian Ocean and pretend to be pirates!"
"Send a signal! Tell them...stand back. We already know your true identity. If you don't want to cause a conflict, leave immediately!"
Putting down the telescope, the commander smiled contemptuously and said, "Playing in the navy, we British are our ancestors, and you Chinese are our grandsons!"
The flagman began to send flag messages to the goldeneye snapper, and soon the goldeneye snapper received the flag message.
"Fuck! Fuck you uncle...let me quit? Do you know how much I paid for this mission?"
The golden-eyed sea bream's eyes were widened, and it looked like it was a sign of hyperthyroidism. "Don't worry about them, send them a signal and send them back... No one is a fool, they all know full well that we will eat this piece of meat!"
The British commander was stunned when he saw the flag, "Madman? Since you can guess my identity, you actually dare to charge? Madman..."
"Sir, what should we do? The cargo ship has been sunk...the sea is full of cargo. These are our spoils!"
The British navy is also profitable when doing some private work. The fleet has the right to distribute the spoils it obtains. There are many good things in these four Qing cargo ships.
"Send the signal! We saw the fat sheep first and we fired first. You have no right to block the road and rob..."
Goldeneye Snapper laughed when he heard this and immediately replied, "You are a robber, and I am also a robber. Why do you eat meat while I watch?"
"If you want to fight, then fight. I don't have as many guns as you, but I have more people... If you want to engage in a broadside battle, I will fight with you!"
The British commander's face was livid, his hands were shaking with anger, and the officers and soldiers around him shouted one by one, "Kill these bastards and fire at them! If you dare to steal our meat, you will never do it!"
But at the critical moment, the captain still held back. He raised his hand and said, "The enemy is well-trained and has far more troops than us. If we start a war, we have a low chance of winning!"
"We can sink at most three of their warships, and the remaining warships will rush up in a swarm to engage in a broadside battle! I can feel that these people are masters of a broadside battle!"
"Forget it...it's just a private job, there is no need to let the good British boy bleed and die!"
"Send a signal...Both sides stop firing. You can collect the spoils on the sea according to your own ability, and one family will get half of it!"
"Okay! Just half of the family...the brothers are diving into the water to grab things!" The golden-eyed sea bream also took a step back.
At this moment, the four cargo ships have been bombed and sunk. Among them, the Erlongkeng is the slowest and is slowly capsizing. The sea is full of sailors calling for help.
The British were indeed ruthless. The soldiers on the deck raised their rifles and fired a burst, killing all the survivors. If Goldeneye Snapper and the others had not temporarily rescued more than a dozen people, I am afraid that not a single survivor would have been left alive in this operation.
When there were no more living people on the sea, the battleships on both sides looked like dumplings, and the sailors fell down with crackling sounds!
