ps: Thanks to a little mage, the Generalissimo of the Nanyang Empire, the Nanyang Empire, mourning Wu Huaxia, lazy readers for their reward support.

When the Chinese Independence Army was in full swing to rectify the morale of its troops, Hou Taiyuan's pirate fleet was already ambushed in the waters where the Peruvian fleet passed.

"General, here they are." Behind a desert island, Li Han reminded Hou Taiyuan in a low voice.

Like the information provided by Wang Yongtian, the fleet consisted of five merchant ships and two wooden sail frigates, and the two frigates guarded the merchant ships in the middle.

"Brothers, get ready, let go of the frigate in front and concentrate the ships to take out the frigate in the back first."

"Yes." Four pirate ships, one large, three and four small, quickly pulled on their spinnakers, ready to strike at any moment.

In the Peruvian fleet, the man in charge of buying and selling the Chinese was Manuel, a close confidant of Lustuat, who personally escorted the Cuban Chinese laborers on the orders of Peruvian President Admire Rowe.

"Major Medellin, how long will it take to get to the coast?" On the frigate Victory, Manuel asked the commander of the flotilla.

The two frigates, the Victory and the Jeanne, are two small frigates of the Colombian Caribbean Fleet,

After negotiations between the President of Peru and the Colombian government, Medellín commanded two frigates and two capital warships to be responsible for the task of escorting the Chinese.

"Tomorrow you can reach Tipana, and then you disembark from there and reach the port of Jurado by land. Finally, change ships and leave Colombia. Medellin Road.

Medellin didn't talk much, and Manuel didn't say anything more after asking.

The Huagong fleet entered the attack range of Hou Taiyuan, and Hou Taiyuan was about to give the order to attack, when a pirate fleet of seven or eight small boats suddenly appeared, and the boats were all black pirates with knives and guns.

"General, it's a pirate under Báb." Li Han has good eyesight and is the first to recognize the identity of the pirate who suddenly appeared.

"Damn, the dead is stealing business with us again."

One of the sailors on board was indignant.

Babu was the leader of the black pirates, and he had a cruel temperament, often abusing captured captives to death, so Hou Taiyuan and his gang of pirates were very unaccustomed to their behavior, and the two pirates also had unpleasant conflicts.

"Don't worry, let them rush out to test each other's depths first, and then we'll rush out again."

Attacking a caravan escorted by warships, Hou Taiyuan didn't have much in his heart, so he decided in advance the tactic of letting go of the frigate in front and severely damaging the frigate behind, forcing the warship to leave.

And the sudden appearance of the Babu and his gang of pirates just solved the problem of Hou Taiyuan, and it was a good idea to use them to deplete the defense of the Peruvian fleet.

Hou Tae-won's words calmed everyone's restless emotions, and the four pirate ships stood by in place, waiting for the Peruvian fleet and the Babu pirate gang to defeat before attacking.

On the pirate ship that was driving first, the black pirate leader Babu excitedly waved the big knife in his hand and shouted to urge his men to approach the Peruvian fleet.

"Pirate attack." The sudden appearance of pirates alarmed the Colombian sailors on the warship.

"The left rudder is full, the cannon is discharged, and all personnel are in place at once." The black pirate's boat rushed towards the fleet like an arrow from a string, and Medellín shouted his command to the warship to meet the enemy.

Boats based on Polynesian ocean-going canoes are standard equipment for pirates of the Caribbean, just like the AK47s in the hands of later terrorists.

A minute later, Babu's pirate ship sailed to a distance of two kilometers from the Victory, at this time, the Peruvian fleet was quickly assembled, five merchant ships headed west, evading the pirate attack, Jenny sailed back and forward, covering the merchant ships, and the Victory turned its sails to meet the Babu's pirate ship directly.

"Boom," the two warships opened fire, and a dozen shells hit the pirates at the speed, but they did not hit a single pirate ship.

Eight corsairs, with small hulls and difficult to attack, were not enough shells fired by two warships in the vast sea area to form a covering strike range.

After a round of shelling, the distance between the two fleets was reduced to within a thousand meters.

"Musketeers prepare," the black pirate reached within a hundred meters of the warship in the blink of an eye, and at this time, the lethality of the guns on the warship decreased, and the two sides began to fight at close range.

Medellin calmly ordered, "Shoot." "Thirty musketeers on board the Victory alternated fire, and pirates close to the warship began to suffer casualties.

The black pirates withstood the initial casualties and arrived at the hull of the Victory.

Three black pirates rushed up the side of the ship to the deck of the Victory, occupying a small area, and with muskets and broadswords in their hands, they fended off the attack of the sailors on the ship.

Black pirates kept pouring onto the warships Victory and Jenny, while the sailors steadily retreated, in full formation.

Babu didn't expect to board the two warships so easily, happily showing his white front teeth,

The surrounding black pirates gathered around the Báb, constantly compressing the area occupied by the two dozen sailors on the deck.

Most of the pirates followed the Báb to board the Victory, and the Babu side was overwhelmingly superior to more than 20 sailors compared to more than 100 pirates.

Just as Babu was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely eliminate the sailors on board, something unexpected happened, and a group of soldiers continued to pour out of the ship Victory, and a dense number of bullets hit the pirates, causing a large number of casualties at once.

"Fooled." Babu reacted, ignoring the remaining pirates on board, turned around and pushed away one of the pirates in front of him, quickly jumped off the warship, and fled in a hurry with a dozen pirates.

Having dealt with the pirates on the ship, Medellín and Manuel stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck, which had not yet been cleared.

"Twenty-one pirates were killed, fifty-three were taken prisoner, seven were wounded on our side, and no one was killed." The first mate of the Victory reported.

"Did the pirate leader catch it?"

"No, let him run away while he's in chaos."

"Forget it, a little pirate leader, run away."

The statistics of the Jenny's results have not yet been delivered, but according to Medellin's estimates, there should be more than 100 pirates killed in total, and with this achievement, Medellín is likely to be promoted to a lieutenant colonel.

"Major Medellín defeated the pirates and secured the fleet, and I would like to express my gratitude to the people on behalf of the workers on the merchant ships." Noticing Medellín's joy after his victory, Manuel duly thanked him.

"Your Excellency, it is my duty to protect the safety of merchant ships." Medellin Road.

"Major, what are you going to do with these captured pirates?

Medellín looked at the captured pirates, and except for a few wounded, the rest were sturdy men.

"Don't hide it from the major, there is a rebellion among Chinese workers in Peru, and there is a shortage of laborers, so I want to buy these pirate captives as miners."

"I can sell you the captives, but I hope that Your Excellency will cooperate more in this battle."

"I understand that Major Medellín annihilated five hundred pirates, and all the pirates he killed sank into the sea."

"Hehe, happy cooperation." Medellin smiled and shook Manuel's hand.

With Manuel as a witness, and then bribing his superiors with the money from the sale of prisoners, the promotion of military ranks is almost appropriate,

As a result, Medellín is in a very happy mood.
