Chapter 270: Naval Battle(1/2)
This time, Wang Xuan did not let the Interceptor change direction again, but instead inserted it in a diagonal manner. With such a round of artillery, the merchant ship opposite had no time to prepare for counterattack again. When he got closer, he could prepare to jump over and capture the other party!
At this time, the pirates on the ship have already started preparing various tools. They are just waiting to get closer to within ten meters. Then it will be time for them to perform!
Within a hundred meters of approaching again, the Interceptor fired another round. This time, he almost fired a fire against the opponent's forehead. None of the fifteen shells fell to the empty space, and a piece of white ground was cleared from the opponent's deck.
"Swish swish swish swish..." More than 30 cross-hook locks were thrown by the pirates, and the two ships were tightly connected. The opposite side was unwilling to give up and wanted to cut off the hook lock, but they were shot back by more than 20 muskets that fired at the same time.
Wang Xuan ordered the sail to fall. As the Interceptor slowed down, the hook lock was pulled straight and made a rattle. The merchant ship opposite was forced to reduce the speed.
At this time, the pirates did not jump over and fight, but waited for Wang Xuan's orders. At this time, the 30 people who controlled the artillery also ran over with their weapons.
"Run!" Wang Xuan blew the [high horn] with a command. With the sound of "Woooooo~~", the pirates rushed over through the springboard.
In fact, their morale is already full, and it is useless to blow the trumpet or not, but Wang Xuan just wanted to have some sense of ritual, and it was his first time!
This time, there were seventy people rushing over, and another thirty people stayed on the ship to control the Interceptor.
Wang Xuan also jumped behind the seventy people, and he had no idea of restraining these ghost guys.
A guy who looked extremely brave and looked like a sailor, waving a sword with his hands, and the wind was blowing. There was a pirate's body lying on the ground. He stopped three pirates alone.
Wang Xuan quickly took out a flying axe from the space, without aiming. He waved his forearm and shook his wrist, and the flying axe shot through a black lightning and shot straight for the other party.
The man was very alert and turned slightly in the impossible, but he did not completely avoid it. He was chopped on his shoulder by an axe. The sharp axe was directly chopped into five or six minutes. He screamed and his big sword fell to the ground with both hands.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a pirate stabbed directly into the other party's stomach with one knife, stabbed and pulled, and a fountain of blood was squirting out, and the person retreated and fell down.
Wang Xuan did not start fighting directly, he just wandered around.
It is enough to leave these pirates who have been trained and tortured, and they always have to give them a channel to vent.
Wang Xuan just needs to make an ADC and give these soldiers a good firepower output. Where can there be dangers, the battle will be resolved immediately!
He put 30 small flying axes in the space. This thing is very lethal and is always good with the blessing of his sharpshooter skills.
The battle did not last long, and it would be useless to struggle any longer, and the other party surrendered soon!
Under normal circumstances, pirates will not kill them all. After all, if these businessmen are gone, they will starve to death. Predators and prey have always been interdependent. If they are killed, what will they eat in the future!
This kind of act of killing without reason will also be boycotted among pirates!
Therefore, in terms of killing, pirates are much gentler than these merchants.
The other party raised his hand to surrender, and the pirates immediately shouted and cheered.
This battle is relatively easy compared to their pirate career, but in terms of the results, it is also very large. Not everyone has the opportunity to rob a large merchant ship worth more than 1,000 tons.
Many times, the firepower and manpower on the ship of an ordinary pirate are even worse than the other party.
Of course, the Interceptor is powerful, and warships are warships. On the other hand, a period of training has allowed them to get rid of the problem of random rushing. The seventy pirates gathered together are much stronger than the scattered combat power.
The pirates spread out a road, and Wang Xuan walked out of the middle with big strides.
The other captain looked at Wang Xuan blankly. This guy wearing a triangle hat, a vest and a spotless dress was the other party's pirate captain?
Standing on this bloody deck, Wang Xuan walked out as he kept wailing around him, strolling around him as if no one was around.
This made him a little confused!
This does not fit the image of a pirate in his heart. He has been on the boat for so many years and has seen more pirates, including sloppy, dirty, cruel, vicious, and naturally like a bad guy... all kinds of things.
But it is the first time I saw someone like the author who is sunny, handsome, handsome, and elegant. It is easier for people to believe that this is a noble than a pirate leader.
"This... captain, I am Ulysses Hornby..." For a moment, the captain of the merchant ship didn't know what he called Wang Xuan.
"Okay, I don't want to know what your name is, I just want you to know how much damage you have caused to us."
"You attacked our ship for no reason and wasted forty-five shells and two barrels of gunpowder. You caused damage to our hull and killed five of my subordinates. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me!"
Ulysses Hornby was confused, fuck, we attacked you for no reason, dare to ask for some shame?
You don’t know what you do!
Did I ask you to fire me?
Besides, I'll hit you in total, and there's nothing wrong with it!
We killed five of you, don’t you see how many people we died, can’t you see the bodies on the deck?
"But you are pirates, of course I want to attack you!" Ulysses Hornby couldn't help but retort.
"You framed us again. Which eye did you see that we were pirates? Do you have videos? Do you have invoices?" Wang Xuan spread his hands and asked, "Look clearly, we don't have pirate flags!"
Hold!
This kid is definitely a nobleman!
This greedy personality and shameless appearance are the same as those of the British nobles and officials.
"Okay, how do you ask for compensation?"
"Arthur, take someone to search and see if there is anything valuable that can be compensated for us!"
Wang Xuan turned his head and greeted him, and Arthur immediately led a dozen people to the cabin.
As the defeated side, Ulysses Hornby dared not say anything in the face of this not-frucous pirate leader.
Anyway, there are a lot of cargo on the ship, and the other party's ship cannot carry too much.
Not long after, Arthur brought people back, and the ship was carrying silk, porcelain, and various spices.
Wang Xuan raised his lips and it turned out to be a ship back from Asia.
"You know, I hope you can take out enough gold and silver to compensate us for our losses than these goods that will make you rich, do you understand?"
"I understand, but I don't have much money!"
These goods have to be resold again when they are in Wang Xuan's hands. Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the price is not as high as the merchant. It is really troublesome, so Wang Xuan prefers cash!
Wang Xuan smashed his mouth and felt a little troublesome. He didn’t have his own channels to sell stolen goods, which was really troublesome.
In fact, Elizabeth's father is a perfect collaborator. However, Wang Xuan is too small now, and he will rashly provoke the other party and may be eaten in one bite during the transaction.
"Ulyss Hornby, which country are you from?" Wang Xuan's sudden question made the other party stunned.
"I, I'm Spanish."
"Let's go to the captain's office and say."
Wang Xuan signaled to the other party, turned around and walked towards the captain's room.
Ulyss had no choice but to follow Wang Xuan's instinct, and he felt that things had a turnaround!
This guy is obviously not the kind of brainless pirate.
"Sir, what are your instructions?"
"I think your route to Asia is very dangerous, and although the profit is large, it may not be so big that people can take such a great risk. So, now there is a new way to make money in front of you."
"Who made you so lucky to be the first ship I was robbed as a pirate!"
I am lucky to be robbed. Are you sure you are not playing with me? Of course, Ulysses dared not ask about this, and he waited quietly for the following words.
"In the future, I will gain more, but I need a shipper. Now, I think you are more suitable, what do you think?"
"Although I won't sell you something very low, at least it's safe and dangerous, right? The profit is not big, but if the amount is large, it's enough!"
Ulysses didn't expect such a turning point and was stunned for a moment. However... carefully calculated that although he had a tenfold profit when he traveled to Asia, he actually made no exaggeration in fact. After all, he had to bring a large amount of sailors and daily necessities, how many people were used to load goods, and he had to risk the storm and rain that he would capsize at any time. There were so many pirates on the road. I knew when he would be buried in the sea!
It may not be a good thing if there is such a collaborator!
"Of course, sir, what do I call you?" Thinking of this, Ulyss respectfully performed a noble etiquette for Wang Xuan.
"Call me Wang Xuan, I am from China, I think you understand."
"Dear Mr. Wang, yes, I know where, it is an extremely large and powerful country, larger than the whole of Europe, where there are countless people and gold everywhere, but their people are braided, and you don't, I didn't remember it for a while."
"Don't lift my braids with me, otherwise I will beat you to death and feed you to fish!" Wang Xuan smiled but a cold light burst out from his eyes.
"Uh, OK, OK!" Ulysses quickly apologized, although he didn't know what he said wrong.
"Okay, that's how things are. I believe you haven't gone out to sea again so soon. I believe that my people will go to find you before that."
After saying that, Wang Xuan asked him to write down the address, then patted his shoulder and said, "Do it well, don't make bad thoughts. If I find out... then you will definitely not like that fate!"
"Before leaving, I'll give you a gift." After saying that, Wang Xuan grabbed a stool, "Petrochemical technology!"
The stool suddenly turned into a black and white stone stool in Ulysses' eyes. He touched it with his hands in disbelief. The cold stone is so cool that he confirmed that the stool he had to sit on every day would definitely not be a stone!
Then, this is witchcraft, evil witchcraft!
He suddenly turned his head to Wang Xuan, looking at him in horror, his calves were twitching.
"I will turn it into a stone statue and seal it on the bottom of the sea forever!" He was embarrassed to say it was a stone pier, and he felt very LOW!
After saying that, Wang Xuan walked out of the captain's room. Ulysses was stunned for a few seconds before following him out with a little fear.
"Take all the gold, silver, and tableware, and take away all the gunpowder!" Wang Xuan walked out and shouted loudly at Arthur.
"Oh by the way, are there any Asians you put on? I shouted it out!" Wang Xuan suddenly thought of something and turned his head to Ulysses and said.
“Ah, some.”
In this era, a large number of Chinese people settled in Southeast Asia, and even if Ulysses did not go to the Qing Dynasty, he could have come into contact with a lot.
