In less than half an hour, at least a thousand Western pirates had been buried on the death ramp and the pier that had been turned into a tidal flat, not counting the twenty armed clippers and a lot of sampans that had run aground on the edge of the tidal flats and blew up the cannon fire.

Captain Morley, whose right hand had been neatly sliced off by shrapnel from his wrist, was eventually pulled away from the slopes and tidal flats by his loyal men, hiding in the mud that stirred the salty water, staring blankly at the slopes strewn with corpse fragments.

"My God, what the hell is going on? Where the fuck is this pirate lair, it's simply an insurmountable military fortress! Captain Morley's mouth trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind, and his eyes were so desperate and sad that he was like an old farmer who saw the seedlings in the field washed away by a flood, and his face covered in mud made tears rush out of two ravines.

He looked back helplessly, hoping that his companions who were still on board would come to his rescue, but he saw that the moving clippers were like hens that had found a weasel in the shed, and they turned their heads in panic and fled in all directions, fearing that the fire from the battery would fall on him.

"What's going on?! What the fuck is going on? Can anyone tell me? The wig James was standing on a clipper, his expression cold enough to drip rain, and the chill emanating from his body was enough to freeze the subordinates around him.

He lost five hundred loyal and fierce men, as well as ten clippers, and next to him, Liu Qiqiao was also terrifyingly pale, only three of his five clippers remained, and one was smashed through the bottom of the ship by a heavy cannonball, and it seemed that he would not be able to do it.

"It seems that we really underestimate each other, their position is too high, and the small cannons on our clippers can't hit at all." A pirate leader wiped the sweat from his forehead and said carefully. "Besides, the terrain here is so defensible that our men can't break through those damn defenses."

"If that fort is thirty meters lower, even if it's twenty meters, we can completely rely on superior artillery fire, just like destroying that dock position, to let them know that it is powerful." A pirate leader wiped the blood from his forehead with an angry expression. The gauze on his head and the plaster on his face made him look better than the Indian Ahsan. "But now without the help of heavy firearms, we have no way to attack this fortress, James, we should let the battleship try, with the height of the battleship, and the powerful heavy artillery, against these insurmountable obstacles for our fast ships and small guns, there must be a greater hope of success than we have."

James frowned, carefully observed the terrain here, looked at the solid fortification that stood high at the end of the wharf slope, made of solid stones, and spat hatefully: "These damned Orientals! ”

"We have already lost nearly 3,000 men, we can't continue to attack like this, otherwise, if our strength is consumed too much, it will not be good." Next to him, a middle-aged man with silver hair, dressed in clean and neat clothes, and a beautiful parrot standing on his shoulder, said lightly.

He still had a few nuts in his hand, and was carefully handing them to the parrot's beak, allowing it to peck at it in his palm. After feeding, Shi Shiran took out a silk handkerchief sprinkled with perfume and wiped his hands, and when he spoke, he suppressed all the noise, as if he was the master here.

"Mr. Owen, what do you ......mean?" looked at the middle-aged man who looked like he was more of a gentleman than a pirate, his eyes full of awe, this was Owen, the feared pirate giant in the Indian Ocean.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Owen's mouth: "James, tell the commander of the Spanish fleet that it's time to send the battleship." ”

"I think if we attack again, maybe we can rush forward." One of the pirate leaders whispered: "If the Spaniards had intervened and won the victory, they would have found all sorts of reasons to refuse to pay the bounty." ”

"No, no, no, dear Captain Filly, please don't think so, the stronger our strength is, the less likely it is that he will break the original agreement, and if our strength is weakened too much, then, let alone refuse to pay the bounty, I'm afraid you and I will have to stay on the gallows, understand?" Pulsatilla Owen still looked calm and calm, but his vicious eyes did see through Colonel Alfonso's intentions.

"Yes, let the battleships attack, now that we have figured out their strength, their last resort is the defense line and the battery on the slope, as long as we rely on the strong hull of the battleship and those heavy guns, we will definitely be able to destroy these damn obstacles." Liu Qiqiao's palms slammed together, and his thin eyes were cruel and crazy. In any case, this island must be taken, otherwise, the lives and ships of his men will be lost in vain. The budget-conscious Liu Qiqiao is absolutely unwilling to do such a loss-making business.

"I beg you to fulfill your promise, Mr. Colonel Alfonso, we have figured out all the firepower of the Qing pirates on the island, but with our clippers and small cannons, there is no way to destroy the fortified positions and fortresses that are beyond our firing angles." James the wig stood in front of Alfonso, his green pupils flickering.

"In other words, your attack this time still failed?" Alfonso put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at the pirate leader in front of him, who smelled of blood and rancidity.

"Sort of, no one can think of passing through the ramp of the dock covered by firepower without the help of the battleship." James shrugged his shoulders. "You know, this attack, we lost three excellent allies, and more than a thousand brave men, and paid such a huge price, it's time to make those damned pirates of the East pay a heavy price." The madness and cruelty in his eyes made Alfonso frown slightly.

Alfonso had long known that these pirates were not so easy to control, and now he was displeased with James's aggressive rhetoric, but at this time, he could only accede to James's request.

However, Colonel Alfonso was not a good person, his eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "I agree with your suggestion, now, in the name of the commander of the fleet, I order, in addition to leaving the necessary clippers to defend the perimeter to prevent those Qing pirates from escaping, all the warships are concentrated!" Prepare to enter the gorge. ”

Hearing this order, James's face sank: "Isn't it enough to destroy the obstacles set up by those damned Chinese pirates with the powerful warships of the Kingdom of Spain?" ”

"Captain James, pay attention to the tone of your voice, you know, if our Spanish royal Luzon fleet could have wiped out these Chinese pirates alone, we wouldn't have issued a bounty in the first place." Colonel Alfonso said it so seriously. "Besides, I was the commander of this fleet, do you have any objections to my orders?"

The Spanish officers who had gloomy expressions couldn't help but smile knowingly, yes, but don't forget, Alfonso is the commander of this ragtag fleet, and he has the right to command the fleet.

"Well, Dear Colonel, we follow your orders." James was tempted to pull out the tomahawk at his waist, cut off the head of the pesky Spanish colonel, and make his beautiful blonde hair into a brand new wig, but for the sake of those bounties, he could only endure it for the time being.
