Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The earth-shattering sound of cannons rang out, completely shattering the quiet night.

    At such a close distance, the shells penetrated the enemy ship as easily as breaking the window paper.

    In the treasure ship, the Spaniard sleeping in a hammock was knocked to the ground by the huge earthquake in the ship's hull before he could react.

    At the same time as the huge earthquake, the thick ship walls shattered one after another, solid iron bullets flew into the cabin, and oak fragments sprayed inward, immediately tearing all non-metallic objects in the cabin into pieces.  The heavy gun carriage was smashed to pieces by the shells, heads were flying around in the cabin, brains and blood were smeared on the floor, and mutilated corpses were everywhere. It was a tragic scene of bloody hell on earth!

    Of course, as the ship is so big, it is impossible for all parts of the ship to be attacked at the same time. The Spaniards at the stern of the ship have time to react.

    Amidst the sound of cannons, screams and vibrations of the ship's hull, the well-trained Spanish infantry completed the dressing as quickly as possible, rushed out of the cabin with matchlocks and long and short weapons, and prepared to go to the weather deck and poop deck.  Use your height to meet the enemy.

    However, what was waiting for them was the pouring shot of the big franc machine, a breech-loaded cannon called a revolving gun by the Spaniards.  It has been played to the extreme by the Coast Guard.  A mother cannon is equipped with twenty sub-cannons, and with the improvement of processing accuracy and the use of Eucommia rubber rings, the sealing performance has also improved a lot.  Nowadays, a cannon can shoot from beginning to end. I wonder if you are afraid?

    The Spaniards who rushed out of the cabin were immediately sprayed by several large aircraft.

    The Spaniards were like waves of wheat under a strong wind, falling to the ground one after another, unable to organize an effective counterattack.

    The bombardment lasted for a full ten minutes. The Wenzhou took care of all the windows of the double-decker Spanish treasure ship, and then shot out the anchor claw, firmly hooking the enemy ship.

    When the distance between the two ships was within one foot, a piece of wooden board with iron claws on both ends was placed between the two ships.  The commandos wearing iron helmets and chain mail on their upper bodies, supported by the heavy rain of bullets from the Dafo Lang machine, bravely stepped on the plank, rushed to the treasure ship, and gave the Spaniards who were suppressed unable to lift their heads a meal.  Beaten.

    When the sound of gunfire stopped, the weather deck was in a mess, with corpses lying everywhere, and not a single living person in sight.

    But there were many Spanish sailors and soldiers in the cabin.  They were very experienced and saw that they would be shot by shotguns if they left the cabin, so they simply hid in the cabin.  Wait for the enemy to rush in, without the support of artillery fire, and then rely on your superb martial arts and familiarity with the terrain to win!

    However, the robbery skills of this gang of pirates have exceeded their imagination.

    Seeing that the Spaniards were huddled in the cabin and did not dare to come out, the commandos did not attack by force. Instead, they lit takraw ball-like objects and threw them in through the door.

    Soon, thick smoke billowed out of the cabin, and the Spaniards' lifeless coughs could be heard.

    This is the ¡®poison smoke bomb¡¯ developed by the 00 institute based on the ¡®poison smoke ball¡¯ in the ¡®General Essentials of Military Classics¡¯ and the ¡®poison smoke tube¡¯ in Marshal Qi¡¯s ¡®New Book of Ji Xiao¡¯.

    The principle is to use chemical substances such as gunpowder and sulfur to burn, and the poisonous smoke produced will make people 'cry and burst into tears and hold their breath and mouth shut'.

    But this kind of weapon is of little use in open areas. The enemy only needs to cover his mouth and nose, lie on the ground and endure it, and the poisonous smoke will soon dissipate.  Moreover, if the wind direction is against you, the poisonous smoke may blow back to your side, then you will be sitting on the wax.

    However, it is still very useful in naval battles. Throwing it into a cabin with generally poor ventilation is definitely a nightmare for the crew inside.

    Considering that this round-the-world voyage might encounter pirates, which would be useful in the event of a boarding battle, Zhao Hao distributed a batch to Lin Feng.  It finally came in handy today.

    The effect is not bad.

    After a while, it was like smoked voles in the countryside.  One by one, the Spanish soldiers took off their armor and ran out, lying on the ground with snot and tears and gasping for air.  The 'pirates' were like whack-a-mole, falling out one after another.

    The ¡®pirates¡¯ who boarded the ship relied on their protective masks and used poisonous smoke balls to clean them layer by layer.  It only took half an hour to bring the entire ship under control.

    In the warehouse at the bottom of the ship, the commandos found a wooden box that was neatly stacked and locked, so as not to let others know that they contained valuable goods.

    The captain chopped off the lock with an axe, and the lid of the box burst open with such force that the contents inside immediately blinded them.

    A box full of pesos!

    And it¡¯s gold pesos, not silver pesos!

    The team members opened the boxes one by one. The first ten boxes were all filled with identical gold coins!

    It was not until the eleventh box that they were pried open that the silver pesos they were familiar with appeared

    But noThere was no labor force, so black slaves had to be trafficked from Africa to replace them

    However, this method was still very effective. In order not to injure the locals, the Ming people came out and surrendered one after another. As a result, another 150 or 60 people were captured in one day. Colonel Thiago was overjoyed. Not only could he be able to do business, but he could also  Take credit!

    He was cautious by nature and worried that the prisoners would be kidnapped by the Ming Dynasty during transportation, so he ordered the governor of Cuba to temporarily detain the prisoners in the castle.  After he completed his mission of escorting the treasure ship, he personally escorted the Ming people back to Mexico after returning.

    Over there, the Havana Shipyard had sufficient spare parts and quickly repaired the four warships with damaged oars.  You can return to Onda early tomorrow morning to pick up the two treasure ships.

    Before leaving, the Governor of Cuba held a farewell banquet for him in his official residence and presented him with generous gifts.  Then he asked him anxiously, what on earth did the people of the Ming Dynasty commit?

    "Your Excellency, the main thing you want to ask is, will it implicate you?" For the sake of the five thousand gold pesos, the colonel stopped hiding it.  "Don't worry, as long as you follow the etiquette, it shouldn't happen."

    "That's great." The Governor understands. It would be great if you can use money to eliminate disasters.  He breathed a long sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "But I'm really curious as to why His Highness the Vice-President wants to deal with the people of the Ming Dynasty. In view of the close trade relationship between the two sides, the two sides should be friendly, right?"

    "The Governor of Luzon, his army, fleet, and all the Spaniards there were wiped out by a group in the Ming Dynasty called Gongzi Zhao." The colonel lowered his voice and sighed: "This matter must not be spread outside, Vice-President  The king still doesn¡¯t know how to explain this to His Majesty.¡±

    In fact, his boss also told him the same thing at the beginning.  But if everyone was so tight-lipped, news in this world wouldn't spread so fast.

    "That's for sure." The Governor nodded hurriedly and suddenly said: "So you want to retaliate against them?"

    "We still need to exchange prisoners, or I won't kill any of them?" the colonel said with a capable expression.

    "In fact, because he let Datou go, the remaining Ming people were not enough to do business, so he couldn't take it as such.

    While the two were talking, the door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open.

    Just as the Governor was about to have a fit, Colonel Thiago suddenly stood up.

    Because it was his deputy, Lieutenant Colonel Aguero, who stayed in Onda Bay to guard the treasure ship!

    "What happened?!" Thiago asked in shock.

    "It's over, it's all over" The lieutenant colonel knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

    ps. No more tonight.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
