Chapter 20: Congratulations on the robbery!
Xie Wu clearly saw a ship in the distance from the binoculars, and he just said curiously that there was a Europa ship in front of him.
After Zhang Lei heard this, he was like a chicken blood, and snatched the telescope to see that it was indeed a Western slooper in the distance. Then excitedly told Wang Kun the news, because he knew that Wang Kun would definitely attack this ship.
Wang Kun was also very excited when he heard the news, and specially instructed Zhao Shichang to speed up when he passed by the cab.
"Little Gangzi speed up, it looks like we're going to open! Ha ha! Wang Kun's mood is also much better. He's been worrying about not having enough start-up capital! As a traverser, he also has a weapon against the sky such as a ship, and he will be asked by money, which is really a bit despised for his ability.
Wang Kun quickly came to the bow of the ship and picked up the binoculars, wanting to confirm which side the ship in front belonged to.
However, because it is too far away and it is behind the ship, it is not too clear to see which country it is. However, Wang Kun had already roughly guessed which country it was.
"Gangzi sped up and caught up, haha! It's been almost a week since I've been here, and it's finally time to open! Wang Kun was about to call out excitedly.
"Lao Cheng, you go down now to transfer a few clever points, and let them come out to fill us up at that time!" After speaking, Wang Kun looked at Cheng Luo, and after seeing the other party's worried expression, he explained: "Don't worry, I won't let them rush to the front, and the three of us can solve such a battle." But after the other party surrenders, you need to bring a team each to help us watch each other and not let people run away! ”
After speaking, you said to this thunder: "You bring up the shells now, and when the time comes, let's have a few cannons to deter them." And take out the 38 rifle, against an opponent of this level, no matter how advanced the weapon is, it is a waste! ”
"Xie Wu, you go and help...... Forehead! General Echeng will pick out a few clever people together, and let you see how we fight when the time comes! ”
After Wang Kun finished speaking, several people went to prepare, Wang Kun picked up the binoculars and looked at the boat in the distance. That's the goal of this hunt!
Wang Kun looked at the Western sailing ships that were getting closer and closer, and his mood was indeed a little excited, although he had experienced a lot of life and death, but this was the first naval battle in this era after all. While it won't become a classic, he's sure to be a crushing battle.
The boat has been driven by Zhao Shichang to the eighteenth section, and it is not the wind season, so the other party's sailboat is moving very slowly.
As the two ships got closer and closer, Wang Kun could already see the 'm' flag on the other ship, which was a British merchant ship. Wang Kun knew that the ship would not be able to run away today no matter what, and the ship was also his own. Wang Kun couldn't help but laugh in his heart!
The British merchant ships ahead had just experienced the celebration as they managed to evade the Dutch navy and carry their cargo through the Strait of Malacca. This is a great victory, and it is God guiding the people of Great Britain to open up, and to guide the people of Great Britain to continue to advance and plunder.
Yes, it was not easy this time, so they had passed through the Strait of Malacca, as if they had just passed through the Onimon Gate. Because now Britain has not yet entered the 'steam' age, and it is not yet that absolute maritime hegemony. So now they haven't taken the Strait of Malacca from the Dutch.
But they didn't want to pay more taxes to the Dutch, so they had to do it secretly. Marven, as the captain of the ship, was also temporarily relieved, because the damned Dutchman would not be found out now.
But just when they thought there would be no more danger, a sailor hurried in and said, "We have found a ...... Forehead? Boat? Right! It's a boat! Yes, Mr. Captain, a strange ship is approaching at a fast pace! ”
Seeing the frightened expression on the sailor's face, Marven was also curious, what kind of ship could make the great British sailor have such an expression.
Marven came to the deck and picked up the binoculars, although it was not as high as Zhang Lei's multiple, but the two ships were now very close.
Marven knew why the sailor had that expression, even Marven himself could not suppress the fear in his heart now. He was now terrified by ignorance, for he wondered why the ship could go so fast without sails! Could it be the legendary witchcraft of the East? Yes, it must be!
At a time when natural science was not particularly developed, people always classified things that could not be explained by current science as theology and witchcraft. For those who live on the sea, there are still many people who believe this.
"Full sail! Fast! Fast! Marven quickly recovered from his panic and quickly picked up speed in the hope of closing the distance and getting out of here as soon as possible.
However, even with full sails, they would not be able to pull away, because the two ships were not far away! With the speed of a motorized boat, it won't take long to catch up.
Yes, the distance is not very far anymore, and little by little time passes. The two boats were already less than two kilometers apart, and Wang Kun shouted loudly to Zhao Shichang, who was driving the boat: "Gangzi! Speed up and surpass them! Let them know what it means to be desperate! ”
Hearing Wang Kun's instructions, Zhao Shichang replied: "Okay! You see! ”
After speaking, Zhao Shichang accelerated his speed again, and a divine dragon swung its tail and then the boat rowed an arc, directly around the bow of the opponent for nearly a kilometer.
Yes, Marven is desperate in his heart now, and the fright that this ship would have caused them was enough. Thinking they didn't know what was going on with the ship, they decided to hide from the beginning of their freshman year. But the other party is obviously coming for himself! I can't run and run, and I can't reach this fight yet!
Under Marven's order, the gunner was already preparing next to the gun!
Wang Kun stood on the foredeck and looked at the sailboat in front of him lightly, Westerners used this to conquer the sea and the world!
But now that I'm here, can you still be as arrogant as the afterlife?
"Big Thunder! A warning to the other side! Wang Kun commanded lightly.
Hearing Wang Kun's order, Zhang Lei skillfully adjusted the firing range and loaded it with a cannonball! Then I heard a 'boom', and I saw a huge column of water exploding next to the sailboat.
Seeing this situation, Wang Kun was in a good mood and teased at Zhang Lei: "I said Da Leizi, I asked you to give the other party a little warning, don't blow up my boat!" ”
Zhang Lei was also speechless, this Nima has not succeeded yet, why is the ship already yours?
When Cheng Luo and Xie Wu saw this situation, they were also shocked, and this cannon was absolutely invincible in terms of range and power. Moreover, they actually took such a powerful weapon and went to sell it to Lan Fang, this is to let Lan Fang take the treasure of Zhenguo! If Lan Fang had such a weapon to control the country, then Lan Fang would definitely not be easily defeated.
It's a pity that all this was ruined by those villains' single-minded efforts to deal with themselves, and those people didn't even want to sit down and watch others show it!
And unlike their shock, the British on the opposite side were now in a desperate mood, they were blown up by this shell.
Is this a cannon? How is it the same as thunder? Is it really Oriental witchcraft?
Actually, it's no wonder that they think so, as long as they've seen steam engines, or steam trains and steamships, then they won't be so incomprehensible about this weird-shaped ship. So until the steam engine came out, they couldn't understand how the ship walked.
Marvin was now in complete despair, thinking that some sailors had reported that the ship had been blown up and that there was a water leak. Although it is not too serious, it is only necessary to hit the ship once with such a powerful cannon.
Besides, this was not a warship in the first place, it was just an armed merchant ship, and it was originally only used with a few guns to deal with pirates. I didn't expect the first pirate I encountered to be so powerful!
After Zhang Lei fired another excited shell, the other party finally lost the courage to resist, and said that he wanted to surrender.
At this time, the two boats were already approaching each other, Wang Kun and Zhang Lei walked in front with a 38 rifle, and Cheng Luo and Xie Wu were also holding rifles with a few people, and they were also plugged in with bayonets. Because these people are completely scared, they can't shoot, so they can basically scare people by inserting bayonets and standing there with guns in their hands.
Because Wang Kun didn't bring many rifles when he came out this time, he brought a total of ten rifles, and Wang Kun didn't expect to encounter such a thing!
As soon as Wang Kun saw the two ships approaching, he and Zhang Lei took the lead in jumping, and the two jumped onto each other's decks. Then the lovers quickly raised their rifles to guard against possible threats from the other party, and then Cheng Luo and Xie Wu, who were in the navy in Lanfang before, so this kind of work was not difficult for the two of them.
After the four of them settled, Wang Kun was the first to ask, "Whoisthecaptain?"
As soon as he heard that the other party was speaking English, Marven was excited, as long as the other party could speak English. Could it be that Britain is already so powerful that even such a young Oriental is willing to learn to speak English?
But anyway, since the other party can speak English, although the taste of the speech is a bit strange, but so what! Since they can speak English, it means that the other party is close to the Great British Empire, so everything is easy to say!
"Me! I'm the captain! Marven hurriedly replied: "I am Marven, the captain of this ship, this is a merchant ship of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, what are you going to do?" ”
"Congratulations, robbery!" Zhang Lei replied in his English, which was full of Middle Eastern flavors. "So now that you're being captured, please don't let me see if there's any good action!"
"You are challenging the dignity of the British Empire, and you are bearing the wrath of the Empire!" Marvin came to hear that the other party was speaking English, and was excited to think that the other party would leave some mercy and let him go. I didn't expect it to be like this, so I yelled angrily.
"Don't worry, this is Wei Feng's territory, and the wrath of your empire can't burn here!" Hearing the other party's proud look, Wang Kun was unhappy. Nima! It's all captured, and it's a cow yarn!
Although the shock to the other party just now was already very strong, but they saw that there were only four people all the time, so their minds became active, no matter who they were, as long as they could be killed with one shot, there was no need to be afraid of them. Besides, there are so many people on his side, don't you have the strength to fight back in the face of four people?
So at Marven's suggestion, several sailors secretly picked up their rifles in the back, and Zhang Lei took the lead in shooting just as he was about to shoot.
I only heard a 'bump', and then everyone was stunned.
Then I heard Zhang Lei say coldly: "I said, don't have unfriendly actions below, we will really kill people." ”
