Chapter 030: I'll Make a Cannon
Three days later.
American merchant ships.
"Captain Johnson, when this group of slaves is complete, we can go back to the United States. ”
Looking at the Chinese who were constantly being escorted into the cabin below, William said with a smile.
"yes. ”
Although Ji Shan had a smile on his face, no matter how he looked at his smile, it was a little bitter.
William also seemed to realize this, looked a little embarrassed, said a few more words, and after seeing that Jishan was still not interested, he had to leave with a sneer.
When William left, a touch of anger suddenly appeared on Ji Shan's face, and he grabbed a musket from the soldier next to him and fired a random shot at the Chinese below.
"Ahh
Hearing the gunshot, the Chinese people below were immediately in a mess and panicked.
Seeing the chaotic crowd, Ji Shan's depression due to the loss of gold was alleviated a little.
Returning the musket to the soldier, he turned and walked towards the captain's quarters.
He didn't know that at this time, among the crowd below, several people were gathered together.
"Senior Brother Liang, did Ji Shan find us?"
"yes, otherwise why would he shoot all of a sudden?"
"Shall we change our plan of action?"
Baizhu, who had some dust on his face, said, "Don't worry, Ji Shan didn't find out about us, otherwise he would have ordered to shoot at us...... Let's continue with the original plan. ”
This group of people is naturally disguised as a group of Baizhu who want to go to the United States to pan for gold.
"When you get to the cabin, everyone will follow my instructions, and don't be reckless and startle. ”
After Bai Zhu gave some instructions, he followed the flow of people to the boat.
……
When I came to the cabin where the Chinese workers were held, I smelled an unpleasant stench before I entered Baizhu.
Naturally, the others also smelled this smell, thinking of the sudden shooting just now, some keen people had realized that the situation seemed to be wrong, and a sense of uneasiness flowed faintly through the crowd, and the speed of progress suddenly slowed down.
The American soldier was also immediately aware of this, and immediately fired two shots into the air.
Bang!
Bang!
As the shots rang out, the crowd quieted down again, and had to enter the cabin under the shouts of the American soldiers.
When he came inside, Baizhu saw that the place was full of devastation, and those who had come to the ship before had a numb look.
Even when they saw Bai Zhu and the others coming in, these people didn't show anything other than a look of sympathy or schadenfreude.
In this eerie atmosphere, everyone fell silent.
Seeing this, Baizhu gave the more clever people of the militia a look.
Seeing this, the man gestured to understand, and then asked a middle-aged man who was already in the cabin: "Hey, brother, what kind of expression do you have, we are going to the United States to pan for gold, are you not happy?"
The middle-aged man sneered when he heard this, ignoring the members of the militia group.
"What do you mean, are you afraid that I will go to the United States to rob you of your gold, so indifferent?"
The vigilante group member continued to ask.
"Return the gold?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but sneer: "It's good to be alive, return the gold!"
"This big brother, what do you say?"
Seeing this, Baizhu hurriedly asked, "How can you say that it is good to be able to live?"
"Anyway, you're all here, and I'm not afraid to tell you. ”
The middle-aged man said with despair on his face: "These Americans don't treat us as human beings at all, and since the first day I came to the ship, the best meal I've ever had is two rancid steamed buns!"
"Heh, at least you've eaten steamed buns, I haven't eaten in two days. ”
Someone added with a sneer.
"Alright, you're still alive after all, be content!"
Another person next to him said: "I have been on the ship for almost five days, and I have already seen three people dead." ”
"Still dead?"
Baizhu deliberately said loudly: "How can there still be dead people?"
Hearing the voice of Baizhu, the people who had just come in were in an uproar.
You must know that they are all here for the gold mountain of the United States, who knows that there will be deaths?
For a moment, there was an undercurrent surging in the cabin.
Seeing this, Baizhu immediately signaled to the people of the militia group, so everyone immediately threaded the needle and threaded the needle to stir up everyone's emotions.
Soon, with the popularity of these early comers, everyone knew that what they were about to embark on was not a gold rush at all, and it might even be a road of no return!
"No, we can't sit still!"
Seeing that everyone's emotions were getting more and more excited, Baizhu suddenly let out a loud shout: "I'm leaving!"
"Yes, leave!"
"We're leaving!"
"Return the money, we're leaving!"
Hearing Baizhu's voice, the others immediately followed suit.
Under the encouragement of Baizhu and others, the crowd in the cabin was excited.
Seeing this, Baizhu knew that the time had come, came to the hatch of the ship, and while everyone was not paying attention, he summoned a flying sword, and then opened the hatch with a sword.
"Brothers, rush with me!"
After roaring, he jumped out of the cabin first.
Following Baizhu, Ling Yunkai and other members of the militia also immediately rushed out together.
With the leadership of Baizhu and others, whether it was those who came first or those who had just come here, they all ran out with the current.
And the appearance of Baizhu and others obviously caught the Americans off guard.
They could not have imagined that these people who were imprisoned in the cabin would be able to escape.
Looking at the American soldiers who were a little stunned, Baizhu was naturally unceremoniously, took three steps and made two steps to get closer, and knocked them unconscious with two punches.
At this time, the soldiers on the ship finally came to their senses, they hurriedly took out their guns and began to reload them.
Bai Shu was in a hurry, took out the revolver, and fired two shots at the two soldiers closest to him.
As the gunshots rang out, the two soldiers fell to the ground.
"Not good, the enemy has guns!"
Hearing these two gunshots, the American soldiers were shocked.
Baizhu They already felt unbelievable when they ran out of the cabin, and they even took out their guns at this time, they almost felt like they were dreaming.
For a moment they were lying on their stomachs, trying to find a safe hiding area.
Knowing that time was precious, Baizhu pulled out his revolver again and fired a series of shots at several soldiers who couldn't dodge.
Every time he fired, someone fell.
For a while, these American soldiers were so frightened by Baizhu's marksmanship that they didn't even dare to show their heads, but just shrank in the corner to hide.
Baizhu knew that this was not the time to relax, as long as he worked for a moment, when these American soldiers came back to their senses, these unarmed Chinese people in the cabin could only be their living targets.
He looked around, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Senior Brother Ling, come and do me a favor. ”
Baizhu stopped Ling Yunkai, and the two came to a cannon.
"Senior Brother Liang, what are you going to do here?"
Looking at the Baizhu that picked up the cannonball and loaded it into the barrel, Ling Yunkai asked.
"Me?"
Baizhu gritted his teeth and smiled: "Shoot a cannon!"
With that, he pointed his gun in the direction of the captain's room and lit the arquebus.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the cannonball flew out of its muzzle and landed somewhere behind the captain's quarters.
"Oops, it's crooked. ”
Baizhu was annoyed when he saw this.
However, just as he was about to take the opportunity to fire another shot, he heard a series of more violent explosions coming from the place where the shells had landed, and then the flames burst into the sky.
"Could it be...... I hit the ammunition depot?"
Baizhu was surprised and delighted.
