0324 A big victory is imminent
At this moment, Liu Pei is anxious! Now that the pirate ship has set off from the harbor, is the cottage lost? Or is it a ploy by the pirates to surround and send reinforcements? Either way, it's not good news for Liu Pei. But there was nothing he could do at the moment, he could only hold the telescope tightly. He watched the pirates on the ship fall, and Liu Pei actually had a hint of revenge in his heart.
The Jiaozhou continued to move forward. At this time, the lower deck was ready to make another round. This time it was much better, five shells hit the pirate ship. However, it is a pity that the shells fall relatively high, and there is still some distance from the waterline. But that's enough for them!
Liu Pei rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked carefully, there was indeed only one ship! He couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart! There's still a chance!
After watching the sailors move, Jack said to Liu Pei: "Boss, maybe we still have a chance!" It's up to God's will! ”
The Jiaozhou twisted its body and quickly approached the channel. Every time you turn your body, you will fire a round of cannonballs at the pirates. In a short period of time, it was like a corsair firing two rounds of artillery. Hit the pirate ship with sawdust flying and the sails shattered! The pirates were strewn across the deck with blood all over the ground!
Jack exalted, "Everyone, get ready to fight!" ”

The rest of the sailors took their knives and axes and leaned against the side of the ship, waiting for the two ships to meet. The Jiaozhou slowed down again after lowering its sails. Drew a small arc towards the pirate ship. The helmsman had very good timing, and the force of the collision between the two ships was not great. The boat rocked a little and stabilized.
But they were a little late. The first sailors to storm the pirate ship had already cut down the two or three remaining pirates who were able to move. The quick-witted pirates have jumped into the sea. The whole deck is like a slaughterhouse! Headless corpses, disemboweled corpses, corpses with missing arms and legs covered the deck! It seems that those rounds of shotgun have paid off!
Liu Pei and Jack were overjoyed to hear this. Liu Pei immediately whispered to Jack: "Keep rushing in!" ”
The sailors who received the order happily jumped back to the Jiaozhou, waiting for the next instruction. The ropes that scratched the hook were cut by the sailors, and the Jiaozhou and the pirate ship parted along the narrow waterway. Keep going.
But then Liu Pei found that there seemed to be no one on these boats, and they were all quietly parked there. Liu Pei also recognized that two of the three ships on the dock were the Zhenyuan and the Dingyuan! They stopped there intact. Then Liu Pei saw more than a dozen small boats on the dock and on the beach. Liu Pei immediately understood the cause and effect of the incident.
The sound of gunfire in front of you, guessing what might be going on outside, is like going out to see. But there weren't many pirates left on the ship to watch the ship, so he gathered all the pirates who stayed on the ship on one ship and wanted to go out to see what was going on. What I didn't expect was that the Jiaozhou's firepower was too strong, and it sank the three ships on guard outside in a very short time. And they were blocked at the mouth of the fairway. So there was no one on the few ships moored in the bay.
Liu Pei pulled Jack, who was observing the boat, and motioned for him to look on the mountain road. Jack held up his binoculars and spotted the pirates running towards the docks. They received the news that they wanted to go back to the dock and get closer to the boat to board the boat. But the mountain road was rugged, and the speed of a large group of people couldn't be fast at all, and when Liu Pei saw them, he walked fast before approaching the foot of the mountain.
Jack understood what had happened, and he laughed out loud twice before shouting, "Helmsman, turn the boat sideways." The 18-pounder cannons are all grapeshot, bombarding the pirates at the foot of the mountain! Don't let them near the dock! Release the boats and go and search them to see if there's anyone on board! No, no! Take back the order, let the boats carry the firecrackers to the dock, and tow a few boats back when you return! ”
The boat was quickly lowered, and the gunners descended the rope net to the boat. This kind of life-saving dinghy is not large, and even sailors can only fill 12 people at a time. As soon as the gunners were seated, the boat rowed towards the pier. Excited gunners also used the butts of their guns as oars to help row.
Originally, these pirates were nimble people, and they thought they could get back to the ship first. But I didn't expect that I was the first to usher in the end! Two or three hundred buckshot from six 18-pounder guns, after a short flight, fell from the sky. Beat those pirates to the ground!
