The sea breeze is howling, and in the deep sea on the north side of the roaring sea, one after another battleships are slowly rising and falling with the waves, but looking at the appearance full of loopholes, I also know that these warships are in the scrapping stage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even if they were towed back to port, repaired, repaired, and repaired the holes in the hull and the collapse in the deck, these warships could still be used, but for Hall, who had a good warship next to him, these pirate warships were no longer of the slightest use, and it was better to leave them to the sea, which was his gift to the sea.

The main mast and the auxiliary mast of those pirate warships were almost all broken, and the remaining masts, the soft sails that should have been strong, had now been reduced to ropes, like the ragged clothes worn by beggars for years, hanging on them to look pitiful.

This means that they can no longer use the power of the wind, and after losing their masts and sails, these warships can only swim around by the propulsion of the waves, and even if they encounter a large undercurrent or willow, they cannot break free.

However, for the crew of these warships, there is obviously no need to worry about this, because those pirates who used to be extremely large are now corpses and prisoners, and even if there are guys hiding in the corners of the cabin, it is estimated that they will not last long, after all, these warships will all sink to the bottom of the sea.

"Is it arranged?"

Hall stood at the bow of his flagship, looking at the pirate warships and many of the privates rolling wooden barrels and placing them on various points, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Everything, speed up, I don't want to wait until after dark to return to Cape City." ”

"Of course, my lord, it will be done soon."

The adjutant behind him nodded, more than thirty tattered pirate warships were not what they needed, rather than being dragged back to Cape City, it was better to directly treat them as waste and throw them into the sea, becoming the habitat of those fish, which was also their gift to the sea.

At least they Cape City, they don't need such a pile of rags, as for giving it to others, or trading with Gray Mist City and Old Silver City, Hall doesn't think it's an excellent cargo, but rather an act of funding the enemy's rapid establishment of a navy, after all, this kind of medieval warship doesn't have much technical content, as long as it is trained for three months, it has at least combat effectiveness, although it is not as good as those elites, but it can still cause some trouble to them.

No one will fund their enemies, and in Hall's opinion, those nobles in Grey Mist City are equal to future enemies, and even as Cape City's power grows stronger, the countdown to the war between the two sides has appeared.

On the deck of those pirate warships, the privates who had carried gunpowder before also quickly popped up in the cabin, almost running towards their own warships, and the sloops that realized the response also threw down the soft ladder, took them all with them, pulled up the sails and flexibly left those warships in the sea breeze.

"My lord, it looks like it's done!"

The adjutant behind Hall smiled slightly, and also waved his hand behind him, and the sailors who had already prepared immediately pulled up the sails of their galleon, Galen, and sailed into the distance with the wind.

"Hmm." Nodding, Hall was still standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the pirate warship that was getting farther and farther away from him, and his eyes narrowed slightly, and just when his galleon slowly turned around, as if waiting for something, a series of dull explosions suddenly appeared.

In the distance, the pirate warships seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy damage, and there was a violent shaking that was visible to the naked eye, and then black smoke appeared above the cabin, and the hull of the ship slowly began to tilt.

Before, those privates put the powder keg at the keel position at the bottom of the ship, and used the fire rope and gunpowder to make a delay explosive mode, and after they left, the fire rope slowly ignited the powder keg, with the powerful power of the whole barrel of gunpowder, the fragile wooden bottom and keel could not resist the force of the explosion at all, and easily tore a huge hole in the bottom of the ship.

A large amount of seawater poured into the entire cabin frantically, and those open cabin doors were like wooden basins that opened the stopper, and as the sea water increased, the more than thirty pirate warships finally sank into the sea.

Of course, the speed of sinking is not too fast, at least after Hall and they left this sea, there is still a small half of the hull exposed outside the sea, and the corpses on it that have died in battle, as well as a large amount of blood on the deck, have attracted countless marine bloodthirsty creatures.

The corpses of pirates have become a delicacy for these sea creatures, and even now you can see many pirates struggling on the sea, they are all hidden in pirate warships, and now they can only wave their arms in vain, looking desperately at the departing fleet on the sea level.

The bloodthirsty sharks around them were on a rampage, no longer satisfied with those corpses, and these alive, struggling pirates, were their targets, and after a violent splash, the waves rolled over, and everything was gone.

The sea is the fastest place to dispose of corpses, especially those bloodthirsty sharks, which can help most ocean battlefields solve the problem of corpses, and without adequate means of self-preservation, trying to survive these shark mouths is simply whimsical and impossible.

………………

………………

The speed of the expedition's fleet returned quickly, after all, the distance they pursued was not too far, and as the lighthouse on the top of Cape Mountain gradually appeared in front of them, the appearance of Cape City was already imprinted.

This newly promoted city has already won a victory, and it is a great victory on the sea, with the same number of warships, the main fleet of one of the three major pirate commanders of Cape Town has been wiped out, which can even be said to be an absolute battle that plays the role of the Northern Trumchi Sea forces.

It was this battle that changed the current sphere of influence of Cape City, officially extending its tentacles to the sea, at least for a short time, in the name of their defeat of the pirates of Crash Bay, it was unimpeded on the sea.

However, in the upper reaches of the Yuqiao River, the fortress of Lake Island in the Swamp was not so leisurely, because the three groups of town militia stationed at this fortress were each lying on the city wall or watchtower, holding their own flintlock guns, and confronting hundreds of inland river transport merchant ships not far away.

The light Galie warship had left, but the 7-pounder guns on it had also been left, erected on the city wall, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the outside, and the strong smell of gunpowder also meant that these guns had just been fired.

"This is the realm of Cape City, and now, we ask you to retreat immediately!"

On the city walls, the captain of a town militia was holding the Spanish flag, loudly amplified by the sound of a tin horn, and puffed out his chest and shouted: "Warn you, if you do not retreat and leave this swamp, we will show this situation as an invasion and launch a counterattack." ”

But in front of them, the hundreds of transport ships commonly used in the Ketuf River did not respond at all, only a warrior in leather armor stood on the deck, densely numbered, it seemed that there were at least a thousand people, each armed with scimitars, long swords, crossbows, bows and arrows, and other weapons.

This is not the appearance of straying into the swamp, but more like the enemy who came to attack, especially those transports that have been modified, equipped with ballistas and bed crossbows, and at this time the winding is obviously ready to attack.

"Damn, what the hell are they trying to do?"

The town's militia looked at the enemies on the transports, but they didn't find any sign of identity, as if they were once thieves on the Ketuf River. There are even many people who carry the wide-backed short knives characteristic of the Ketuv River thieves.

Garrisoned at the fortress in the middle of the lake were only three groups of town militia, 360 men, and three 7-pounder light guns, and if the enemy really started to attack, it was estimated that their defense would not last long.

After all, the hundreds of transport ships, thousands of troops are almost clear at a glance, and the ballista and bed crossbow are all siege weapons, it doesn't take too much time to break down these rough walls, and even in the rear, the gap in the city wall left by them when they attacked the city is now less than half, but with the collapsed city wall, it is ready to be converted into a dock, as a transit point for Cape City to communicate with the Ketuv River.

Now, it has become a gap for them to focus on defense, once those unknown enemies want to attack, then this city wall, which is only more than four meters high, is estimated to become the center of contention between the two sides.

"In half an hour, our troops should be over!"

Swallowing slightly, the captain turned his head and shouted to his soldiers: "There is our garrison on the church side, as long as we can hold out for half an hour, or even shorter, then after our reinforcements arrive, it is impossible for anyone to leave here!" ”

"Hooray!" The town militia cheered, but everyone's faces were solemn, so many people launched a siege, it was still unknown whether they could rely on this shoddy fortress to hold out for half an hour.

However, his words were also said to those unknown enemies outside, in fact, if you think about it, you can know that those troops whose price is definitely Gray Mist City, if not, it is absolutely impossible to appear in the Ketufu River, after all, the Ketuf River is not a river that anyone can pass, but the transportation artery between Gray Mist City and Samar City!

They were waiting for reinforcements, and those unknown enemies, in fact, were also waiting for their reinforcements.
