Chapter 305: Surrender
The uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense, and my heart beat suddenly, and when I saw the situation of my two merchant ships, my face immediately turned pale and became desperate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info doesn't have any psychological baggage, no longer has any expectations, seems to realize something, suddenly shouted viciously, angrily pointing at the little wolf.
"You, under the guise of negotiation, secretly ordered a small ship to approach our merchant ship, you are really shameless, insidious and vicious, and you have no integrity at all! I'm going to kill you, pay for it! ”
I don't know if I was on guard, the little wolf had already let go of Lu Ziming, and he was still a few steps away. At this time, Lu Ziming just ran up, and before he could take out the dagger in his arms, he was pressed to the ground by several pirates next to him, tied up, and tied to the mast like a big zongzi.
Seeing Lu Ziming blatantly assassinating himself, and the faint bloody aura permeating his body, the little wolf still felt a little admiration, and saw that the other people who came to negotiate were paralyzed on the ground, letting their little brother be tied up, without any resistance, and a trace of disdain suddenly appeared on his face.
At this time, a pirate minion had just tied up a few people, so he quickly walked to the little wolf and asked, "Brother wolf, what should you do with these people?" Is it just killed and thrown into the river to feed the fish? ”
The little wolf looked at the two merchant ships, then at Lu Ziming, and said meaningfully: "Tie them there first, the origin of these people may not be simple, and they may have some use value." ”
The little minion would have been mistaken, and when he heard this, he said with a grin: "Brother Wolf, when did you become so cautious and so afraid?" We are pirates, even if these two merchant ships are the throne of the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the king of the Ryukyus is inside, we are not afraid, we can't fight directly, just throw them into the river! ”
The little wolf turned around, slammed the pirate's brain, and shouted in hatred: "I said can you kid grow some brains?!" Think about it, if there is really an unusual person in the merchant ship, we can hijack him, threaten his family, and extort some ransom, which is more pleasant than our sea raids, saving a lot of trouble, I am really afraid of things! ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Wolf, I understand!"
The little minion covered his head, nodded again and again, and said honestly, standing aside honestly and not saying anything more.
As if he knew the general trend and couldn't change anything, Lu Ziming stopped struggling, his eyes were empty and his head drooped, and the others were dead and gray, and there was silence all around, only the rumbling sound of artillery fire in the distance, the sound of birds banging, merging with each other, chaotic.
Pirates are a force that has been active on the water for a long time, and they are very experienced in dealing with raiding merchant ships, and have their own set of methods to deal with them. At this moment, many of the ships of the Qingqi Gang were already close to the side of the merchant ships, slightly undulating with the waves on the river. Amid the rumbling of the cannonballs, I saw the pirates on the small boat take out the ropes one after another and throw them upward.
At one end of the rope, the iron claw was not grasping at the edge of the merchant ship, but wrapped around the protruding cannon, and after pedaling, it felt that the rope was firmly wound, and then climbed up. At the same time, the pirates on the small boat a little farther away held the bird gun, and continued to shoot in turn, sniping at the personnel on the outcropping merchant ship, although the bird gun was troublesome to reload and the lethality was limited, but it also played a role in suppressing the firepower.
"Iriomote, what now? We're so encircled that we can't drive at all, so we can only go around here. Our people can't show their heads at all, and there are steel balls shot by birds everywhere! ”
Iriomote crouched on the edge of the boat, looking at the river through the hollow gap of the cannon from time to time, his body trembling. Despite this, he tried to keep his calm and shouted: "Quick, immediately move out the heavy object, smash it down, and smash those who climb up to death!" ”
At this moment, a muffled sound sounded from another merchant ship. Iriomote was full of excitement and asked hoarsely, "What's the matter?" It's only been a short time since the battle, why is there a cannon that blows up? ”
As soon as the words fell, a hurried voice sounded, followed by a response, in response to Iriomote's question: "Lord Iriomote, no, these pirates are so cunning that they actually stuff things into the cannon, causing the cannon to explode!" ”
I was suddenly shocked, and secretly said that it was impossible, but I still shouted in disbelief: "How is it possible?!" Do these pirates fly? How do you stuff something into a cannon? ”
"My lord, they wrapped the rope around the cannon, and as soon as the man approached the cannon, he immediately stuffed something into it, and his subordinates really saw it, and there was no lie."
As if to confirm what the man said, Iriomote raised his head slightly, looked through the gap, and immediately saw a rope wrapped around the barrel. At this moment, Iriomote secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly ran to the cabin, in a certain room.
"Princess, princess, hurry up, you quickly change into the costume of an ordinary officer, get your face dirty, and come out with me!"
"Okay, Lord Iriomote, Mr. Lu has already told me in advance, I have already changed it!"
Soon, Iriomote blended into the crowd with a slender guy and mingled with the sailors. It's all a face full of substance, an unkempt face, and if you don't look closely, it's hard to discern the difference.
Although the Ryukyu Kingdom was a vassal state of the Qing court, their clothing and attire were very different from those of the Manchus, and they still had the style of the Ming Dynasty, and the men did not have braids. Therefore, the princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom after disguise blends into the crowd, and if you don't know the inside story, it is difficult to find out that she is a woman.
"Princess, blend in with these people, and don't speak, and leave everything to my arrangement. This disaster is inevitable, but you can rest assured, Wechen will definitely try his best to ensure your safety and reach Guangzhou Mansion. ”
"Iriomote-sama, what should you do with Mr. Lu? Don't you flee with me to Canton Mansion? ”
"Princess, these pirates are ferocious and murderous, and if they are of no use, we will all be killed. Therefore, Lord Lu and I must reveal our identities so that these pirates can see the benefits, and the Kingdom of Shang will redeem me and Lord Lu. In this way, you can serve as a messenger and secretly reach the Canton Mansion to report to the Yamen where to ask for help and redeem us. ”
Iriomote was about to explain something, but the edge of the ship suddenly sounded the sound of bullets piercing, and he couldn't help but stop, looked over, and saw that it was from another merchant ship, followed by a crackling sound, and the marbles of the bird's gun.
It seems that he thinks of something, immediately realizes the crux of the problem, knows what is happening, and after leaving a word, he goes to the other side.
"Princess, you just hide here, hide in the crowd, don't move, listen to my arrangement."
Soon, in the astonished eyes of everyone, Iriomote took out a white chess piece, raised it, and kept waving it in the air, shouting at the same time: "Put down all the birds, stop loading the cannonballs, and don't resist again!" ”
As the white flag continued to wave, Iriomote and others gave up resistance, and the birds of the Blue Flag Gang also stopped shooting. At the same time, a ladder was set up from another merchant ship, and it lay in the middle. Then, a group of pirates flew in, and some crawled out of the edge of the merchant ship, and a large number of pirates poured into the merchant ship. (To be continued.) )
