Chapter 81: The Voice of the Great Thief (3)
As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, an open-minded scar-faced man immediately agreed, and plunged into the water.
At the beginning of the [Shell of the Five Po Boys] from Guangyi Island, Li Yan came back and placed him on the Duck Ling, the angry wind was launched, the fleet took advantage of the wind, and at the forefront, three eighty-meter-wide ships blessed with [Living Seawater Turbines] were used as the tip of the knife, and the vanguard fleet of the Red Flag Gang, before the British sailors could react, they passed through the artillery fire and crashed into it!
The Red Sail Gate ships swarmed up and crashed into the hull of the Vasco Trainship, the white and red sails crossed, and the bird ships behind were interspersed, and the ant-like pirates threw out their lassoes, carried swords and guns on their backs, and went to the deck with swords and guns on their backs, and started a fierce white-knuckle battle with the Red Feathers.
The Red Flag Gang dispatched hundreds of large ships and several small boats this time, and Cai Lian's team was behind them, with nearly 1,000 large and small ships in front and behind. The crossbow men are all the top in the South Seas.
The fleet of Hongmaozi should have been sent out to clear the remnants of the government after Hongmao occupied Guangzhou, more than 50 Vasco warships, accounting for one-ninth of the Anglo-Portuguese coalition army, with the sailing speed of Vasco warships and the amount of gunload, this is an elite combat force that can fight against any of the five pirates in the South Seas.
It's a pity that since Li Yan invested in this incident, the Red Flag Gang's sharp knife power and the level of ship artillery have been upgraded to a big level! Coupled with the support of Cai's bird boats, there is no reason why this encounter cannot be won.
The ferocity of the South Sea pirates is on full display when the ships and firepower are superior.
Li Yan retracted his gaze, the guys around him were also top players in the entire South Seas, and the sailors on the battleship under his feet were severely suppressed at the very beginning of their contact with the Red Flag Pirates, and the opposing commander's will to resist was very resolute, and his mind was also flexible, seeing that the momentum was not right, he ordered the sailors to hide in the corridors and narrow cabins, relying on the terrain to fight.
"Brother Tianbao, move the powder keg and blow up their ship!"
Xue Ba was familiar with naval warfare, and immediately shouted.
"Our people are several times more than theirs, so we don't need to be so miserable, protect the ship, go into the cabin to clean up the red hair little by little, and grab a few tongues and ask questions by the way."
As soon as Li Yan's voice fell, his face was murderous.
He twisted his eyebrows and turned around, and Xue Ba's "be careful" beside him had not yet been spoken, but when he saw Li Yanteng dancing with a golden tiger-headed gun, the spear flowers bloomed, the platinum light and shadow were impermeable, and the crumpled bullet fell to the ground. There was still smoke.
It turned out that some British sailors noticed that Li Yan, who was giving orders, was as if they didn't want to die, and gave up the temporary position built with a round table and a twisting table.
Burst~
The big gun fell to the ground, the sawdust flew, and the blade smashed into the deck more than three inches, seeing that the sailor knife had already chopped over, Li Yan pressed the barrel of the gun, and the tiger's head spear blade was like a dragon out of the water, but when he saw a platinum splendor slashing past, the two flesh bodies of the sailors in front of him were split from the middle!
Along with the military uniform and triangular sailor's hat, the sailor at the forefront of the charge was split in half by the entire blade of his spear, blood gushing out, and a few blood-stained golden round buttons rolled down the distance.
With just one shot, the crazy momentum of the sailors who regarded death as if they were at home was extinguished!
The footsteps of the other sailors were forcibly stopped, and the flesh and blood of their colleagues splashed their heads and faces, but they were all stunned for a breath or so.
Li Yan coldly looked at the people in front of him, and the Red Flag Pirate Hula Chao rushed up. There is no need for Li Yan to make a move. and drowned the ranks of sailors.
"Boom~"
The shells slammed into the hull, and an East India Company warship made a big hole in its belly and sank to the surface with a bang.
On the edge of the scorching naval battle, the Vasco battleship stirred the sea and began to turn around and flee, which was a signal of rout.
……
Tang Ruola gently put the goose feather letter on the table, set aside the exquisite porcelain, pearl and jade silk, and there was deep anger on the old face.
After arriving in Hong Kong, the East India Company's fleet fought undeclared, and the momentum was like a bamboo, killing and wounding countless officers and men. Successively occupied the county seat, the port.
When several decent aristocratic commanders who were famous in Europa finally broke through the city of Guangzhou and opened the door of the silver treasury, the shocked and greedy distorted looks on their faces could not be hidden!
Porcelain vases, jade utensils, lacquerware, gold silks, and most intuitively, silver ingots that are enough for everyone to swim in a hearty way!
This is just the public treasury, and other things such as the general's mansion in Fulin, the private cellar of the big merchants in the city, and the Buddhist temple where the incense is abundant...... Soft and red, indescribable wealth and prosperity, now like a lamb, naked in front of everyone!
But after a short period of excitement, the experienced Portuguese bishop and several chief stewards of the East India Company knew that if they wanted to swallow these riches, the top priority was to destroy the nearby living forces, so that the government would have no room to fight back.
But just now, Tang Ruola received an urgent report, the five pirates of the South Seas, the demon thief Zhang He, the treasure ship king Lin Ajin, the Red Flag Gang Tianbaozai, and even the righteous pig Zhu Ben, who has always maintained close contact with the Portuguese, also pulled up the banner and counterattacked Liangguang from the South Seas, to help the government defeat the Anglo-Portuguese coalition army.
Cai Lian, the big boss of Tianbo Division, who had seen Hastings himself and the East India Company had maintained a great cargo throughput, was even more righteous: "The red hair invaded my rivers and mountains, killed my people, and all the men of China gritted their teeth, even if they spilled all their blood, they also vowed to drive the red hair out of the South Seas!" ”
Not to mention, now, tens of thousands of Hongcai coalition troops are approaching Guangzhou Bay, and it is less than fifty miles!
The Red Cai coalition army is huge, according to reason, it is impossible for Bishop Tang Ruola not to receive the news, but in fact, the news exchange of Fanshang in Nanyang has been closely watched by Cai Qian, and now the military aircraft is slow, to a large extent, Cai Qian is playing ghosts.
They didn't expect that Cai Lian would treat them as butt wiping paper, but he didn't remember the old feelings at all, and sold the Anglo-Portuguese coalition army with his backhand!
In fact, after achieving the goal of colluding with the Nanyang bandits, as well as knocking on Fulin, and expanding the real power, the Cai family of Tianbo Division had already moved to exterminate the red hair and add a glorious achievement to the Cai family ancestral hall. If you can seal the marquis and worship the prime minister, the lintel will naturally shine.
Before the Tianbo Division's conference, Tang Ruola was still convinced that even if Cai was not on their side, he would definitely remain neutral.
In fact, Hongmaozi's powerful fleet was able to enter the South Seas so smoothly, and Cai Qian contributed to it.
Since Hastings heard from Cai Lian that the government was going to further tighten the customs trade, he turned around for a month and spent a lot of money to bribe Cai Lian. Falsely claiming that the merchant ship was too threatened by pirates in the South Seas, and wanted to send heavy troops but was afraid that the government would not allow it. Secretly, they colluded with the Portuguese troops stationed in Macao to use force to knock on the official customs.
Within two days, the government took the initiative to spend money to invite himself to suppress the bandits, which was in the hands of the coalition army. After the raid on Guangzhou, the account manager of the Thirteen Tooth Bank also came to make trouble, and the foreigners knew that they were at a loss, not to mention that there were many places that would rely on Cai's in the future, and the director of Hastings came to the letter, and explained his hardships to Cai Lian in a sincere tone, made a promise, and also paid Cai Lian hundreds of skilled craftsmen with his feet, originally thought that Cai's was also a businessman and a thief, chasing fame and fortune, and talking about faith, and would not be pursued again, but it didn't come to fruition, only a few days of hard work, Cai Lian actually teamed up with the four pirates, and hit the door.
200,000 pirates fought back against more than 20,000 British and Portuguese sailors, and in any case, it was a bitter battle.
But retreat? Reluctant!
Tang Ruola twisted up a delicate incense burner and couldn't put it down: "Jem Cai, you said that Chinese businessmen are the most trustworthy, and if you go back on your word, you will definitely suffer the consequences." ”
He glanced at the soldier who came to report again, and smiled modestly: "If I guessed correctly, among the five pirates, it was Jem Cai who gave the order, right?" Hehe, the emperor and officials, together with the Hastings, played it all together, I really admire the scheming and execution of this Chinese. ”
"That's not the case, Your Excellency." The soldier's right hand was placed on his chest: "The leader of the South Sea pirates, the one who commanded the battle of 200,000 pirates, is a little girl named Zheng Xiu. ”
