Chapter 211: Landing at the port of Tutuga
In the evening, when the sun was setting, Xiao stopped using a bounty of five small gold coins, and finally two fishermen, unable to suppress the impulse in their hearts, jumped out and offered to drive him to the port of Tutuga. There is no way to resist it, the port of Tutuga is a legendary lawless land, where it is said to be home to thousands of vagrants and murderous pirates......
Such a port occupied by scumbags, bastards, and bastards naturally became an ordinary forbidden place, but it was a paradise for pirates and other outlaws.
Xiao Zhi moved a chair and sat on the deck, crossed Erlang's legs, took off the hat on his head and saluted the gradually distant Port Royal: "Good luck and survive tonight's baptism of fire." ”
The fisherman who was driving the boat was puzzled when he heard this: "What kind of artillery fire, sir, are you joking?" This is Port Royal, and even the most terrible pirates will be sent to death when they come, not to mention that with the brigadier general and the governor in charge, no one dares to go wild! ”
It seems that the prestige of the navy still has a lot of weight in the hearts of the common people, Xiao Zhi smiled and stopped talking, the Black Pearl will raid Port Royal at noon tonight, and Barbossa will lead the crew that originally belonged to Jack to rush to the port town to kill and loot the property, of course, the main purpose is the Aztec gold coin hanging around Elizabeth's neck.
Xiao Zhi also needs gold coins to complete the task, but only one Aztec gold coin is too small, anyway, this gold coin will eventually return to that stone box, all he has to do is wait, wait for the time is ripe, go to the island of death, just take the box of gold coins, it sounds very simple, but in fact it is that simple.
The fishing boat sailed on the sea for two days and three nights, sunset, sunset and sunset, Xiao stopped in his sleep, and was awakened by the fishermen's trilling voice, it turned out that the port of Tutuga had arrived, and it was indeed a notorious port, because of the problem of the sea area and the topography, the pirates could go in all directions at will on the boat, and the navy was easy to attack but difficult to catch here.
There are quite a few large and small ships parked near the port, but only some small and medium-sized boats.
The real pirates have their own gathering places, and they don't come to such places where the thugs come and go, because that would only lower their status and be ridiculed by others......
There were quite a few pirates squatting there in the harbor, and when they saw that there were fishermen's boats coming here, they all stood up and made strange howls, like wolves, and the fishermen trembled: "First, sir, we will pass by the small dock near the port, please make sure to seize the opportunity to go ashore, otherwise if those pirates come, even 10 gold coins will not save our lives." ”
The boat turned around and approached a small pier to the southeast.
The pirates were furious, pulled out their flintlock pistols from their waists and shot at the fishing boat, the muzzle of the gun was emitting flames and smoke, and they looked very rampant and arrogant, and they trotted all the way to the small dock, trying to jump on the fishing boat the moment the ship docked, and scrape the flesh of the emaciated lamb!
When the boat and the dock are less than five or six meters away.
The fisherman said with tears in his eyes, "Sir, jump over like this, those damned pirates are chasing too closely to get any closer." ”
Xiao Zhi has deep respect for the pitiful appearance of these two fishermen, who are obviously timid to death, and are still willing to take a risk for the sake of gold coins, what kind of spirit is this! In addition to the 3 deposits he had paid earlier, he waved his hand and threw out seven small gold coins on the deck and said with a smile: "This is a reward for your courage, goodbye!" ”
He took a deep breath and ran wildly on the deck, the terrifying gift of "cat flexibility" was fully effective, his legs suddenly burst out with great strength, he put down the huge scissors on his back and threw them wildly, and at the same time, his feet also jumped forward, and the heavy scissors in the air took Xiao Zhi, who was already forward, and fell on the plank of the small dock in an arc......
The pirates also rushed to the small dock, and they were stunned when they saw Xiao Zhi's clothes: "It's still a little tender sheep, let me guess, it shouldn't be for the sake of adventure to run to the sea to break around, hahaha, just let him see the dangers on the ocean!" ”
The muzzle of the black hole was raised, and the spear of the exorcist exuded a faint deterrent.
In order to avoid this advanced pistol from causing unnecessary sensation in the 17th century, Xiao Zhi specially asked the tailor in the town to make a gun-like sleeve to wrap the gun inside, without affecting the design, making the gun look like it was sewn from cowhide......
The size of the flintlock pistol is usually not small, Xiao Zhi's pistol looks small and delicate even if it is covered with cowhide, and the pirates around laughed: "What is this, toy, look at our immature little hero and his little pistol, it's so interesting!" ”
Bang, cold and dull gunshots!
The corner of the pirate's mouth that laughed out loud tore a bloody cut, like Egawa zygote half transformed. He was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react, "Damn, he shot me with a gun, quick, kill him!" ”
In an uproar, Xiao Zhi took out a small black cloth bag from his pocket and threw it out, and with another shot, the black bag broke instantly, and hundreds of shillings were sprinkled on the wooden board and rolled around, when the pirates were stunned, he smiled softly: "As a hairy boy who has just arrived in Guibao Land, you are all people with heads and faces on the sea, I don't want to go against you, this money should be regarded as a small reparation......"
Sure enough, there is money, but the pirates are even more shocked that the gun in Xiao Zhi's hand can actually fire continuously! Having such a gun that can fire continuously is a great weapon of death, and the reason why pirates and navies always wear swords by their side is because flintlock pistols are time-consuming to reload.
If there is a fire battle between two ships at sea, and the artillery is bombarded at a long distance, and when the bombardment is almost the same, when the distance between the two is drawn to the middle distance, the flintlock pistol will be pulled out and start shooting, how powerful it is, it depends on the number of people on board and the speed of loading ammunition......
When the last two ships approached, the attacking ship would forcibly build planks and rush to the attacked ship, starting a white-knuckle battle, the sword fogging in the flames and the blood splashing in the wailing, creating countless hellish scenes! At this time, no one will choose to continue to use flintlock pistols to fight, and even if there are bullets in them, they will be used as disposable weapons for sneak attacks.
Seeing that Xiao Zhi was very face-saving, the pirates put away their guns and picked up money on the ground, they were just small crew members who did not form a climate, and the bigwigs were drinking and having fun in the small town inside, there was no need to raise the bar with such a gun that could fire continuously because of a small contradiction!
The pirate whose mouth was torn open by a bullet, seeing that everyone didn't care anymore, had to endure the pain to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and pick up the shilling, which he had bought with blood......
