Chapter 12 Who is the Fat Sheep?

It seemed that the good times were short-lived, and Dobot encountered a heavy fog, and Doport stood on the huge bow of the Skull, tugging on the sail rope with one hand, and the fog was so thick that he could barely see his fingers.

Dobot knows that the thicker the fog like this, the smaller its scope!

Lame Peter was standing behind Doport, and at this moment he wanted to lift his wooden leg and kick Doport into the sea, but this idea Lame Peter only stayed in his imagination, because he knew Doport's cruelty, if he couldn't kill this guy, he was afraid that he would be cut into slices and fed to the fish.

However, with his many years of experience in the sea, Doport's experience had just heard the rattling of large sails, and he was very sure that it was coming from starboard, and that it was very close.

Could it be that a fat sheep delivered it to its own mouth? Dobot couldn't help but snicker at the fact that he had realized that he had captured Jenny for the first time. William's luck has gotten a lot better since that chick? Dopot bared his big black and yellow teeth, thinking about whether he should correct that chick on the spot tonight? Maybe that would be a lot better luck?

So under Doport's order, more than a dozen gun ports on the starboard side of the Skull were lowered with a bang, the cannons were slowly pushed forward, and more than 200 pirates leaned on the side of the ship with various hooks, anchors and ladders in their hands, and once the two sides approached the side, they directly seized the ship.

The Skeleton is a cruiser that is about to be decommissioned, with only a single-layer gun deck, and even so many Porters have not been able to match all 24 guns, so the Skeleton only has 14 guns, which means that if you concentrate single-port firepower, then there will be an unarmed dilemma on the other side, but since it is a pirate, where will you care so much? With a crew of about 250 people and a displacement of only 720 tons, the Skull is a standard cruiser ship.

The sound of the Skull firing the cannon door alarmed the Phoenix? Dozens of crew members were lying on their guns and watching, even though they could not see anything, and Mitterrand, who was strolling around the second deck, was also nervously watching the thick fog, which must have been the churning of the ship's gun door slip chains in his many years of sailing experience.

A very bad premonition Mitterrand was so nervous that his palms were sweating, although the Phoenix was a training ship with a strong external force, but in the final analysis, it was still a three-class battleship with great deterrent power, and he still didn't believe that there was that daring guy who dared to attack a third-class battleship of the Royal Navy of the British Empire?

When Doport spotted the behemoth on the other side through the fog, his first reaction was to open his mouth wide, how could he not believe that the fat sheep he had just guessed could be a battleship? Could it be that the British got the news and came to hunt them down?

Doport, who was already frenzied, yelled, "Fire! Drop the right sail and raise the mainsail! Run! ”

Rumble! Boom! Due to the gap in the hull, the twelve-pounder gun on the deck of the Skull was facing the second deck of the Phoenix, and since Doport was preparing to plunder, the guns were filled with grapeshothulet shells designed to kill people.

With the sudden tremor of the Phoenix, Lin Haijiang, who was checking the course on the bridge, fell to the ground, and his head naturally touched the horns of the rudder, and blood suddenly flowed down the corners of his forehead.

The sudden blow threw the Phoenix into chaos, but Lin Haijiang still saw the black skull flag on the Skull that was turning to flee, which was the symbol of a pirate.

"Catch up with them and sink these damn pirates!" Lin Haijiang pulled out his command knife and waved it in the direction the pirate ship left.

In Lin Haijiang's eyes, pirates not only brought shame to themselves, but also brought wealth, if you want to ask what was the fastest money in the eighteenth century? Undoubtedly, many people will answer that they are pirates, and pirates are the high-income and wealthy people of this era.

The sailors of the whole ship were as excited as if they had been beaten with blood, and it could be said that the pirate behavior just now was simply a declaration of war on the honor of the Royal Navy, except for some Chinese sailors who were panicked, even the black slave sailors and gunners seemed very calm.

The sergeant's adjutant Miller, who was standing aside, cautiously said to Lin Haijiang: "Sir, the enemy situation is unknown, don't chase after you!" ”

"Poor?" Lin Haijiang was slightly stunned and said to Miller: "Will these turtle grandsons who fight black cannons be poor?" They're pirates! They're so fucking rich! ”

Miller looked at Lin Haijiang helplessly, after the death of Captain Mitterrand, Lin Haijiang became the only officer on the Phoenix.

The tail cannon of the Skeleton was fired several times in succession as the Phoenix reversed course, and the losses on the Phoenix were not large due to the distance between the two sides, but the Skeleton's firing also gave the Phoenix directions, and on the Skeleton, Doport was holding a scabbard and desperately whipping the gunners who had just fired their guns, calling them idiots.

Lin Haijiang soon received a report of battle damage, and the third mate Mitterrand and others were killed in battle, nine were seriously wounded, and sixteen were slightly wounded.

Nervous aboard the Skull, Doport's chagrin at his previous impulsiveness, why did he open fire? Just sneak away? Now poke the hornet's nest!

At this moment, Doport can only hope that God will bless him that he has just inflicted heavy damage on the British, and the British have no time to hunt him down, and at the same time he hopes that the fog will be thicker.

Unfortunately, Doport's prayers were not heard, and the Skull quickly sailed out of the fog.

"There is no boat in the back! Banzai! The pirates began to cheer, but suddenly a diminutive pirate stared behind him with wide eyes.

I saw a behemoth come out of the dense sea fog, and Lin Haijiang on the Phoenix bandaged his head and shouted and ordered: "Raise the flag, raise the royal shield flag, raise the sea knight flag!" ”

The three flags were raised one after another, and Doport's heart was almost cold, the stripe flag in the Royal Navy represented punishment, while the royal shield flag represented the righteous sanction, and the sea knight meant to kill them all!

An old, copper-sheathed, poorly maintained twin-masted cruiser that escaped the hunt of a newly converted third class battleship? This is obviously impossible.

Dobot was in a panic, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a chapter of trump cards!

This trump card is Jenny. Miss William, Commander of the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, James Murphy. The only daughter of General William.

"Raise the white flag, Lao Tzu wants to negotiate with them!" Dopot glanced at Jenny, who had been erected and tied to the ship's mast. William smiled and said, "Thanks to this talisman!" ”

Many of the pirates were relieved from their horror, cracking their foul mouths and laughing.

Lin Haijiang on the Phoenix was very aware of the pirate's intention to raise the white flag, but with Lin Haijiang's surname Geduoport, the white flag was probably raised in vain.

According to Lin Haijiang's order, the Phoenix used the undamaged port side to give the skeleton a second round of salvo, and the huge destructive power and rate of fire of the Etwin cannon produced by the Atwin Royal Artillery Factory stunned Doport and others, they did not expect to encounter the fast cannon that was only rumored in the past.

The muzzle on the opposite side flashed, and Dobot subconsciously climbed on the deck.

The smoke of the explosion cleared, the foredeck was littered with severed limbs, bloody corpses and wriggling entrails, and the pale-faced Dopott crawled out of the private pile.

The magnitude of the flowering bomb knocked off the foredeck of the Skull by a fifth, and Doport didn't expect to encounter the Royal Navy who raised the white flag and fought hard?

"Damn the British, did you feed the dogs with your chivalry?" While scolding, Dobot suddenly found that there was no shelling near the bridge, and it was obvious that the other party's shelling was extremely strong.
