397 Discussion caused by combustion
However, this action made Li Sanduo on the Pride misunderstood, he thought that this was a signal for the two ships to prepare to set up a position to fight, and saw that the Pride was less than six hundred meters away from the oarrow boat.
So at this time, in order to prevent his ship from entering the range of the enemy's artillery, Li Sanduo ordered an emergency right turn, and then loudly ordered all gun positions to fire freely.
As soon as the order to "open fire" was given, the two 20-millimeter cannons on the roof of the cockpit took the lead, and the two fire whips began to mercilessly sweep the nearest row boat in front of them.
After a minute, the 75th ship's guns also completed the transfer of their guns, and after resetting the firing Zhu Yuan, they also began to shell the slurry ship a little farther away.
The officers and men of the two row-boats were in a panic, as if they had finally understood what the noise was coming from the sea, but only when the shrapnel from the explosion and the sweeping bullets hit their companions did the survivors think of fighting back.
But they were immediately desperate to find that their own bronze cannons could not hit each other at this distance, let alone bows and crossbows.
The soldiers began to feel a little overwhelmed, they did not know how to deal with such a situation.
However, in the moment of hesitation, the slurry ship closest to the strange ship had been fired continuously, and the dozen or so soldiers on the deck who were operating the guns were beaten by the rain of bullets that swept over, and they were missing arms, legs, and stumps, and several bronze cannons were also hit by the flying bullets.
Faced with this situation, from the captain to the soldiers, they couldn't react for a while, such a fierce fire made everyone on the deck feel incredible, and they didn't know what magic was on the strange ship opposite, especially those sailors who survived the tragic blow, and saw this strange ship without oars and sails up close can still go on a rampage through the waves, and the huge fear of the unknown hit, and soon the soldiers on the deck collapsed.
So everyone from the captain to the soldiers began to jump into the sea to escape---- except for the slave oarsmen in the rowing cabin on the bottom floor, they did not know about the things on the deck, and the shackles on their feet did not allow them to escape, so although the deck was hit hard, the oarboat continued to move forward until the slaves found that the drums on the deck were gone, and then subconsciously stopped rowing.
However, the slurry discharge boat a little farther away was hit even more seriously, because the gun position of Peng Qiang and Zhou Rui actually fired ***.
A total of four shots were fired, three of which fell around the slurry boat, and after the solidification exploded in the water, the floating oil did not let the flame go out immediately, but just blocked the escape route of the slurry boat, and finally, there was finally a shot that hit the hull directly, and the wooden side of the ship suddenly ignited a fire.
When the soldiers found that water could not extinguish such a "magic fire", they also began to abandon the ship and escape.
In a short time, the entire pulp discharge ship was in a sea of fire, and the cabin and the sea were full of screams, and human heads haunted the waves......
Naval guns stop firing!
It's miserable!
Who told you to use ***!?
At this moment, Zhu Beiguo shouted loudly from the top of the cockpit.
"Brother Zhu, why don't you let us use ***? This thing is so good! ”
Peng Qiang leaned out of the gun position, looked up at Zhu Beiguo and asked.
"The bilge oarsmen of the slurry ship are slaves! With leg irons! The ship is on fire, and the people on the deck can jump into the sea and run away, what about the slaves in the bilge?! They are all people who have been sold to ships by human traffickers, and what sin should they be burned to death! You'd better do less! ”
"Brother Zhu, don't you say it earlier......"
"Brother Zhu, it's too late, the ship is about to burn into a torch......"
When the crew on the deck heard Zhu Beiguo say this, they also felt that Peng Qiang and Zhou Rui were a little too much, and they also complained:
"What do you use, we can still tow this boat back as a means of transport if we capture it......"
"Well, it's okay now, let's not talk about the evil, and the cannonballs are wasted, and the cannonballs we brought from the old world are one less shot, and you don't know how to cherish them!"
"Yes, it's really impossible to row a wooden boat like a weak chicken with ***! Kill chickens with a knife, waste! ”
"By the way, can we recruit those slaves to be our laborers?"
"I think it's better to forget it, it's a technical ...... to control slaves."
"Yes, the ancients said, people's hearts are in danger, who knows if people are ...... with us"
"We can't do such a thing as forced labor...... We don't understand the language, so I'm afraid we can't afford to use ......."
"If we liberate these slaves as free men, they should be willing to work for us, right?"
"yes, that's human nature."
"The problem is that the language and customs are different, will it be difficult to manage?"
Well, Peng Qiang and Zhou Rui shrank in the gun position at this time and were silent, and sure enough, silence is better than sound here, and the two of them finally got rid of everyone's mouths, because the discussion on the deck was so crooked......
When the discussion on the deck was lively, the distant slurry ship was completely engulfed in flames, and after a few breaths, there was a huge explosion, and the hull of the slurry ship was shaken to the surface of the water, and the hull was torn into two in an instant, and people watched as this large ship sank in the waves in an instant.
The air smelled of burnt mush, and all that was left on the surface of the water were scraps of wood and barrels, and, of course, the lucky ones who jumped into the sea and swam away in time before the explosion.
Get! Another one exploded, and the loot turned to dust, and someone on the deck muttered......
The loud explosion immediately interrupted the discussion on the deck, and everyone was silent for a while when they saw this scene, I don't know who said a word, those slave oarsmen in the bilge must be finished, some people shook their heads and looked into the distance, obviously the crew on the deck were more or less shocked by this tragic scene, and the deck suddenly fell silent......
"The sailors are ready to board the ship for inspection!"
Li Sanduo in the cockpit gave an order, breaking the temporary silence on the deck, so everyone began to silently check the equipment on their bodies, and after a while, the boarding team composed of Ren Ke, **, and Airush and others prepared to stop.
At this time, a few dozen meters away on the starboard side of the Pride, another somewhat broken pulp row boat was floating quietly on the sea, and the deck was empty.
It was the only one of the three slurry boats that survived.
Half an hour later, Zhu Beiguo led the team, Xue Laixiang was the guide, Ren Ke ** Ailush, Song Chen, Xie Muyang and other ten people boarded the ship.
The deck was already empty.
Except for Xue Laixiang, everyone carried an AK47 on their chests, holding a loaded Colt python ****, and carefully patrolled around the deck.
The boarding process went smoothly, for there were no living creatures on deck except for the dead bodies.
Everyone was not very interested in the various materials on the deck, and this ship was not a special pleasure ship for the royal family, and there were no jewels and property, it was just a warship cruising the sea, except for bronze cannons, firecrackers and various cold weapons that could be transported home as metal materials and handed over to Holley and them to return to the furnace, it seemed that they could not find anything valuable.
At this moment, there was no movement on the silent deck except for dead bodies, bloodstains, and a mess.
Another task of boarding the ship was to see if there were any live mouths on board, and it was obvious that there was no panting in sight, but there should be oaring slaves on the lower deck, and that was of interest to the group.
Just now, Captain Gu sent instructions through the walkie-talkie, asking for a few live interrogations, and by the way, he sent a message to the Sulu Kingdom and submitted some negotiation conditions, especially asking the Sulu Kingdom to compensate for the piracy a few days ago - don't forget, we came to Holo Harbor in the name of seeking justice for Xue.
