Chapter 176. Unexpected loot

"It's over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Li Wei slowly stopped, the scimitar in his hand that was still stained with blood also had a curling blade, and a lot of blood had been splashed on his body, and during the pursuit of the sailors just now, the scimitar in his hand also personally hacked to death more than a dozen water thieves who tried to fight back in a desperate situation.

If this group of water thieves can unite and organize their accomplices as soon as possible, it may really be a great threat to Levi and them, but now there are only a dozen or so water thieves who want to fight back, and the final result is only to add a few scratches to the bayonets of Levi's knife and the surrounding sailors, and then they fell to the ground miserably and died of convulsions, and their counterattack was ridiculously weak.

Holding high the red, yellow and red striped flag of Spain, Hall followed closely behind Levi, and the blood splashes on his face did not have time to wipe away, and his heroic spirit made him fearless, he was a captain known for his bravery.

Looking at the river beach in front of him, which had been shrouded in the smell of blood, Hall's face also turned from solemnity to excitement, sweeping over the water thieves who were cornered and kneeling on the ground praying for survival, and the red and yellow striped flags in their hands were raised higher and higher, and they couldn't help shouting loudly: "God bless Spain!" ā€

"Hooray!" On the riverbank, the faces of the sailors and armed citizens were also shouting and cheering with great excitement, and now it was indeed their time to enjoy the victory.

More than a thousand of the Kertuf pirates who had come to land and attacked them from the narrow banks had been routed head-on, and the casualties inflicted on the bandits on the spot were known by a cursory count of the miserable casualties of more than half of their casualties by their stupid and clever dense formation.

More than 300 people had been killed in the direct battle, because when they faced flintlock guns and artillery fired at close range, the dense formation had made them the best targets, even if they had nowhere to dodge, and the final result was to use their bodies to resist the hard solid shells, and the same deadly, and dense number of lead bullets.

And the more than 50 light warships on the river beach have also been bombarded by four 12-pound bronze falcons to pieces, the long snake-like fleet has become their biggest hidden danger at this time, when the muzzle of the cannon is concentrated on a point for bombardment, the frontmost warships are directly blown up and blocked the river, so that the warships behind can not continue to move forward at all, can only block all the river more and more tightly, and finally become a target.

The Yuqiao River, which is more than ten meters wide and four or five meters deep, really can't be regarded as a big river, compared to the Ketufu River, which is hundreds of meters wide and tens of meters deep, it is just like the comparison between a cauliflower snake and a giant python.

The tactics of this group of water thieves, who are accustomed to fighting on the Ketuf River, may be correct, but on this small, inaccessible river, the artillery battery on the hill that has adjusted its firing boundary and is waiting for them to arrive to bombard, it may be the same as the consequences of their proud ballista encountering the bronze falcon.

Fragmented defeat.

As long as the bronze falcon cannon clears the chamber, then each bombardment will cause casualties to the pirate warships that have been blocked on the river, fist-sized cannons mixed with thumb-thick shotguns, and the final result is that those pirate warships are shattered and sunk, and the passage of the river channel is further obstructed.

Even if more than a dozen pirate warships tried to break free from the congested river, they were lucky enough to sail quickly with the breach, and fled towards the mouth of the sea with panicked faces, hoping to survive temporarily when they came to the sea, but they did not expect that at the mouth of the Yuqiao River, a galleon that had opened the side gun window was aiming all the fifty-six guns at this side.

Aimed at the mouth of the sea, which was not wide, and aimed at the thieves of the Ketuv River who were looking at the ocean-going giant ship and were stunned, a round of the most standard, as if it were a textbook depiction, a volley from the side of the side!

What was the power of a salvo of fifty-six 24-pounder guns?

Perhaps the group of thieves of the Ketufu River, who were all wiped out in an instant like a burst of thunder, could know that they were just watching in horror as the cannon with a larger number of gates was shooting out blazing flames in a neat manner, so a dozen of their light warships that had just escaped from the Yuqiao River and thought they were safe had completely fallen into hell and turned into slag floating on the sea.

The navy uses a new type of artillery, which is much more powerful and accurate than the bronze falcon cannon, not to mention the number here, even if all the fifty-five pirate warships appear around this Galen galleon, that one cannon is enough to name all these small warships equipped with ballistas.

If it weren't for the fact that Galen's galleons couldn't enter the shallow beach at a distance of tens of meters, and even this huge hull alone was enough to crush all these small warships, no matter how powerful the combat skills of those water thieves were, they could only face the bottom of the ship squeezed by the mountains, feeling wailing and powerless.

But now that the Ketuv River thieves had completely failed, their original ambition to destroy Cape Town was shattered, and the messy field was full of corpses, countless stinking blood was gathering, countless mosquitoes were also attracted in the woods, buzzing and began to fly in all directions, and even scavenging birds were already hovering in the sky, including seagulls with small eyes and looking around.

"Arrange for someone to clean up the battlefield immediately."

The Spanish flag was taken over by one of the guards, because Levi had already assigned more important tasks to Hall, and at the same time, looking at the figures around him who disappeared into the woods, he squinted slightly and suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and a group of fleeing guys could not pose much of a threat.

A group of deserters cannot be called an army, not to mention that this group of Ketufu River thieves is not an army at all, a group of rabble fled to the forest, even if they are lucky, they can only flee back to the swamp, but they have been demoralized and they can no longer attack in a short time, it is estimated that as long as they see this hill fort in the direction of Cape Town, their hearts will completely collapse.

There were still groups of water thieves kneeling on the beach now, directly surrounded by the Spanish sailors, all of them with pale faces and raising their hands, obviously feeling a deep despair of the power of the flintlock pistol, and no longer had the slightest spirit of resistance.

Hall walked over quickly, and at the same time beckoned many armed citizens to return to the temporary fortress to get some ropes, and the rough calculation of the water thieves in front of them who knelt on the ground and surrendered with their hands raised was more than four hundred, not counting the few other guys who had fled into the forest and on the other side of the river, but for them they were still numerous, and if they were not tied with ropes, they were afraid that something would happen.

"Your Majesty, this is an epic victory."

On the hill battery, Wilmot also walked down quickly, looking about the same age as Levi, and the original immaturity on his face had also turned into firmness, which was the confidence that victory brought him.

Sweeping his eyes over the corpses on the ground, as well as the water thieves who were kneeling on the ground and begging for surrender and life, Wilmot also let out a long breath, and his voice was a little hoarse: "If they were smarter, maybe there would be a chance of victory, I didn't expect their commander to be so stupid, and even when they suffered heavy casualties, they didn't integrate the scattered troops." ā€

"I didn't expect our victory to be so easy."

Levi nodded slowly, this battle was simply a one-sided slaughter, and the group of Ketufu River thieves really rushed over in such a dense formation, giving his flintlock pistols and artillery enough fire tilt, and even when they finally got on the bayonet to countercharge, they directly crushed the opponent's last sanity and morale.

Although they had already judged the water thieves composed of this group of rabble, they didn't expect this group of water thieves to collapse so quickly, compared to the ferocious appearance when they captured the outer harbor of Gray Mist City, even if there was a conspiracy in it, but in Levi's opinion, the combat effectiveness of this group of water thieves had also dropped below the horizontal line, and even far below Levi's psychological expectations!

"Their chain of command is all broken."

Wilmot also frowned slightly, and finally made a judgment based on his experience in the academy: "Maybe we directly destroyed their command system, after all, in the feudal era, it was usually the commanders who walked in front, and they didn't expect us to have such fierce firepower." ā€

"Your Majesty, we found some loot."

Just as the two were still talking about this war, an armed citizen also came here with his own shovel quickly, but he was still holding a purple rattan cane and a black package in his hand, and his brows were also tightly wrinkled, and he came to Levi's side and said: "We found these things, although we don't know what they do, but I think Your Majesty will be able to use them." ā€

And Levi's eyes widened instantly, he looked at the purple cane, and the top inlaid with a huge pearl, which was almost exactly the same as the staff in Lucia's hand before, subconsciously reached out to hold the staff inlaid with a huge pearl, and also asked in surprise: "This really makes me curious, how did you capture this trophy?" ā€

"We found it on the edge of a river beach."

The armed citizen pointed to the edge of a forest in the far side of the riverbank, and his face was also excited, and this victory also made them feel excited, especially in front of their own king, and quickly reported everything they knew: "At the same time, there are several corpses of water thieves around, and they seem to have infighting!" ā€
