Lenny began to break out in a cold sweat on his forehead halfway through his words, and when he finished the last word, the farmer's son's whole face turned pale.

He didn't expect the problem to be here, the people on the small boat before had little chance of surviving no matter how they looked at it, and that's why he chose to join the pirates under the circumstances, becoming a cook on the Sea Lion in exchange for a chance to live.

But unexpectedly, the group was miraculously rescued, and he had stayed on that boat, and now he was comfortably basking in the sun on his father's farm.

What's worse is the series of follow-up troubles that come with these people surviving, the fact that the four of them became pirates is poked out, so that the possibility of returning to civilization is cut off, and unless the queen pardons, they will be saddled with pirates forever.

Of course, these are all things to worry about in the future, and there are even more deadly things waiting for him at the moment.

After Lenny finished speaking, the group of British sailors who were in charge of guarding the ship obviously also paid attention, and raised their muskets in their hands, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

It was at this time that I don't know who pulled the trigger first.

Hearing only a bang, the farmer's son's heart shrank sharply at this moment, and his brain went blank, thinking that he was dead this time, but then he opened his eyes to find that there were no wounds on his body.

Instead, Lenny, who had previously revealed his identity, lowered his head and stared blankly at the blood stains on his chest with a look of disbelief.

The beast awoke from its slumber.

The black-bearded man below the deck opened his eyes at some point, like a lion, exuding a compelling momentum all over his body, he withdrew the short musket that was still smoking in his hand, and said in a unique deep voice, "The battle has begun, let's hunt together!" ”

The guards on the deck couldn't believe what was happening, they had taken control of the entire ship and taken away the weapons from the crew, where did the bullet fly from?

It wasn't until two and a half seconds later that anyone realized something, but it was too late, and the deck under their feet suddenly opened, and a few sailors who happened to be standing on it fell straight down, and before they could land, their throats were cut, and then a group of pirates, armed to the teeth, came up from below, brandishing their weapons in their hands, and the rest were beheaded before they could turn their guns.

Because of Malvern's accident, the battle took place half a minute earlier than expected.

Most of the sixty bare-handed British sailors in charge of carrying the things had arrived on the Sea Lion, but there were about ten men left on the deck, and seeing that something was wrong, they immediately fled back to the Scarborough.

But the others were not lucky, and now the armed forces of the British Navy on the Sea Lion were more than 20 people who had been on board before, and these people were also harvested for the first time, and they were basically killed and injured in just one face.

Owen cut down a British sailor and threw his clothes and weapons to Zhang Heng, while the pirates lit grenades in their hands. Unlike later models with handles, grenades of the 17th and 18th centuries resembled pomegranates in appearance, which is where the name comes from. At this time, the grenade was basically an iron shell, which was filled with gunpowder lead projectiles or metal pieces, but the lethality of the people thrown in the crowd was good, and the sailors on the Scarborough originally wanted to come to help, but the explosion caused a large number of casualties.

There are also many rookie sailors who fled back, because they were too frightened, you pushed me, and unfortunately fell from the gangplank and fell into the water.

The gunner on the Scarborough asked the first mate, "Sir, are we going to open fire, and it will sink the ship in a few minutes if we fire it now." ”

However, the latter was a little hesitant at this time, mainly because he felt a little sorry for the shipload of porcelain, but before he could speak, Burnett on the side preemptively said, "No, our people haven't withdrawn yet, how can we fire at this time, and if we do this, how can we expect these people to fight for us in the future!" ”

His words were not unreasonable, originally because of the Admiralty's arrears of wages, the morale of the sailors at the bottom of each ship was a headache, and the Scarborough was no exception, if the cannon really opened fire at this time, although only a small number of people were sacrificed, but more seriously, it might chill the rest of the people.

And the most important thing is that there are now more than 600 people on the Scarborough, and they have an absolute advantage in numbers, although they have been attacked by the pirates, but the losses are not too serious, and it is impossible to lose no matter how you look at it, so he hesitated to kill the pirates on the opposite side.

Elmer, the captain, was also unprecedentedly embarrassed today, although he was not injured, but he was also startled by the explosion just now, and the red wine in his hand was spilled, and after reacting, he was immediately extremely angry, and said while letting his men take his saber, "What are you still stunned about, kill those lawless pirates, and snatch back the porcelain that belongs to us!" ”

Since the captain had spoken, the others had no objections, and the first mate immediately began to dispatch musketeers to strike at the opposing fire, but the pirates were more cunning than they imagined, and instead of killing the sailors who had come on board, they rushed together in the midst of them.

The musketeers aimed for a long time but did not have a chance to shoot, but it did not take long for the enemy and his own men to rush in front of him, and then the difference between the new man and the old man became apparent.

Under the tremendous pressure, the newcomers couldn't help but start shooting indiscriminately, and as a result, the bullets were flying everywhere, most of them didn't know where they went, and a few of them fell on their own people, but the pirates didn't get shot much.

The man with the black beard took the lead, cutting down a sailor in front of him, then lifted the corpse as a shield and rushed to the musket, drew the scimitar at his waist with incredible speed, and stabbed directly through the chest of an enemy, the tip of the knife poked out of the latter's back, stirred twice in it, blood spurted out, splashed all over his body, and made him look like a demon king in hell.

Witnessing this scene, several people nearby even lost the courage to hold a gun, and directly turned around and fled backwards.

This time it was a battle of life and death, Zhang Heng did not stay strong, brandished the saber in his hand to face the enemy in front of him, unlike the bearded man, his knife skills looked lighter, Zhang Heng tried to integrate the pace of karate before, and now he finally achieved some results, he mainly dodged, waiting for an opportunity to find an opportunity, and shook off the weapon on the opposite side, but just when the blade was about to cut through the throat of the target, it was blocked by another knife.

"Your opponent is me." Burnett said proudly that he was very confident in his sword skills, and when he was in London, he used his family connections to visit many famous teachers, and he believed that he would not lose to anyone.

As a result, Zhang Heng just glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, pulled out a short musket from his waist, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
