The Big Official turned and slowly drew a half-arc in front of the two pirate fishing boats.
"Prepare the cannons!" Captain Tian Suo pulled out the iron axe from his waist and shouted.
The players holding knives, spears, and sticks kept shouting like a group of hair baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Love Baboon. The gunner adjusted the gun hole to aim at the slowly moving fishing boat, and the lighter raised the fire rope close to the fuse of the fire door.
"Fire!"
As soon as the captain's voice fell, the fuse that was instantly ignited ignited. With a boom, the shell shot out of the barrel with a thick white fog. The sports car that was hit by the strong recoil bounced back and was pulled by a few thick ropes.
The shell raised a white water column hundreds of meters in front of the fishing boat. The loading speed of the cannon was very slow. They had to clean up the residue and use a wet brush to prevent the remaining heat from igniting the next gunpowder bag.
After a series of panicked loading steps, the second round of ammunition arrived one minute and twenty seconds later. The gunners on both sides pulled the ropes to reset the cannons.
The second cannon shot still did not hit the target. In the era of smooth-bore cannons, if you wanted to hit a moving target on the undulating sea, you might as well hope to pick up a dollar on the ground today.
Every time a cannonball was fired, there would be a tremor in the vicinity. Even the players who were waiting at the side were shouting excitedly, as if they were the ones who loaded the ammunition and lit the fuse.
As they got closer and closer, the pirates began to shout, mocking the Lone Ranger for firing so badly that he was still trying to fire a third and fourth shot.
The High Official fired a third shot. Thanks to the close distance between the two sides, a shell hit the bow of the fishing boat. The strong impact smashed a big hole in the wooden board, and sharp wooden fragments flew everywhere, stabbing a dozen miserable pirates around them. For a moment, they screamed and roared.
"Damn it, charge! Charge onto the enemy ship and leave no one alive!
The pirate leader kicked the men to urge the paddlers to speed up the boat while imagining the reward of snatching the cannons of the boat and offering them to his boss. No matter how bad he was, he could at least become a small leader.
Just as the pirate leader was daydreaming, the fishing boat had already approached the enemy's boat.
"Brothers, kill!" The captain took the lead and grabbed a grappling hook, throwing it at the bird boat. In an instant, more than ten grappling hooks were thrown out and hooked onto the side of the ship.
The pirate leader had a steel knife in his mouth and a rattan card in his hand. He grabbed the rope of the ship like a savage Mount Tai and attempted to wave onto the enemy ship to kill. However, he did not expect the enemy to not play any dignified battle with him. Instead, he saw a few pirates dressed as pirates raising a few barrels.
The pirates who were rippling on the ropes and attempting to jump onto the Meritorious Merit were simply the best targets. The Japanese barrels and muskets spewed out hot lead bullets, and blood sprayed in the air like mist. More than twenty pirates fell one after another with miserable screams, leaving only the sound of falling into the sea.
There were only 50 to 60 pirates on a fishing boat. A volley of muskets at close range would almost destroy their morale. Even if there were pirates who were lucky enough to jump onto the enemy's ship, they would find themselves helpless and helpless. The spears of the forest stabbed at them with all their might, and the pirates could not withstand them at all.
"Ahhhhh!"
The lone pirate was covered in sword wounds and bloody holes. He let out a desperate scream, but the bandit had no mercy for pirates. Several spears stabbed at him from all sides. Even if he waved his iron knife randomly, he could not withstand them. In the end, he was stabbed to death on the deck. Go.
The players would not be foolish enough to wait for the pirates to attack. Some bold players tied gunpowder cans all over their bodies and followed the pirates 'example, grabbing the rope and swinging to the enemy ship. They rolled and crashed into the enemy's side of the ship.
As soon as he got up, three or four pirates who did not care about martial arts rushed over with short weapons. Their spears and short swords stabbed into the player's stomach from the front and back.
"Help me take care of my seventh uncle!”
The player lit the fuse at the mouth of the gunpowder can and used the last of his strength to throw the gunpowder can at the enemy's mast. With a bang, the flames of the gunpowder quickly climbed up the mast and ignited the sail.
Suicide fire attack?
Just as the pirates realized that the enemy had fearless death squads, a few players repeated the same trick and set the enemy's ship on fire at the expense of their own " lives ".
Before they lit up the gunpowder cans to die, they all laughed wildly in excitement, as if the suicidal fire attack was not a suicidal move but a delightfully crazy game!
Crazy!
This was a group of lunatics! The shocked pirates had the same thought in their minds.
The barefooted were not afraid of those wearing shoes, but the rude were afraid of those who did not care about their lives. The pirates thought they were ruthless enough to commit all kinds of crimes, but they didn't expect these bandits to be even more ruthless.
"All teammates!" Ding Xiu raised his saber, and the other eleven teammates raised their guns and aimed at the burning fishing boat.
"Fire!"
Ding Xiu slashed through the air, and a row of muskets poured out 11 close-range volleys at the enemy's deck. Several pirates were instantly killed on the spot. Even those who were not killed by the shots also died in pain and the flames.
Only then did the surviving pirates realize how terrifying the bandits on this ship were! Even if they wanted to escape, there were no intact ships. The pirates who did not dare to stand still jumped into the sea and swam towards their own ships.
The small-scale battle had ended, and the loss of personnel on the Big Official was less than 20 people. Half of them were transported below the deck, and from time to time, they would say that they could still be saved.
With a murderous intent to destroy the enemy, the Big Official rushed to the new battlefield like an avalanche. As it sailed, it fired its cannons and muskets.
The rest of the battle scene was like a pack of hyenas eating, when a mad lion suddenly rushed in from the side. Even if two pirate ships rushed up to block the path of the High Official, they would be defeated by a suicidal fire attack.
The Chu family pirates had never expected the Kun Thief to be so terrifying. They had already killed the Zheng family's ship and robbed their wealth. There was no need to risk their lives with the madman. The remaining Chu family ships quickly set sail and left.
They even left a ship full of goods behind. They deliberately threw pebble-like silver coins in front of the Big Official to show that they were "money for the passage".
It was impossible to chase after them. Even if the gamers wanted to chase after them, they would not be able to catch up without steam power. Therefore, the gamers stopped while they were ahead. Not only did they obtain three undamaged Fu boats and Guang boats, but they also seized a ship full of goods, silver taels, and silver coins.
After a rough search of the loot and inventory, the total value of the goods and silver was about 3,000 taels. Each participating player could get 30 taels equally!
In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, a border soldier's annual income was only 18 taels, but they earned almost two years 'worth of income per person from a robbery.
Wasn't this faster than farming in the main base and doing missions to earn money?!
It was no wonder that so many people liked to be pirates, and so many modern countries liked to wage wars, especially in the semi-industrial wars before the 19th century. As long as they won, they could obtain rich benefits and even make up for the cost of the war and win the war dividends.
After the war ended, the Zheng family's fleet was finally out of danger. However, the remaining troops of the Zheng family did not have a good time surviving with only two broken ships.
The broken ship kept having seawater seeping into the cabin. It was almost impossible to reach the mainland by pumping water manually.
As expected, the Zheng family's remaining broken ships sank within an hour. The crew members were either holding wooden barrels or lying on wooden planks as they floated on the sea.
"Do you want to save these people?" a player said.
