The pirates were silent and cleared the entire port, killing no less than 200 people, except for the guards who had taken refuge in the houses.
The pirates began to drive civilians to the docks to deliver their belongings, and three larger cargo ships, all with a displacement of more than 500 tons, entered the port.
The pirates were like locusts, and they didn't even let go of the shore defense guns on the dock, and all of them were brought to the ship with large gantry cranes.
During the retreat, several large merchant ships docked at the port were driven away.
Of course, pirates don't want such worthless things as food, and as a result...... After the pirates withdrew, there was a great chaos in the port without managers, and both slaves and poor people carried out all the valuable materials throughout the port.
At the very least, there is no shortage of food for every household...... Well, yes, the inhabitants are still grateful to the pirates.
In the Caribbean, five port colonies were sacked by pirates, and the entire Spanish colony was in turmoil for a while.
"Smack!"
The Spanish rear admiral slapped the table and tore the letter in his hand to shreds, "Damn pirates, I'm going to tear you to pieces!" ”
The speed of information exchange was also slow in this era, and it was already a few days later when the Rear Admiral received the news, and it was a series of news that the port had been ransacked.
Because the pirates killed all the port managers every time, until now, the rear admiral of the West Navy did not know the details of the pirates, only knew that there were seven large ships with fierce firepower, and he did not take the responsibility of the transport ships to heart.
The Major General came to the hanging map and began to probe.
"According to the route of these pirates...... Syllable. The Major General slapped his palm on the map, "Next, they will definitely attack one of these two ports!" ”
"Herald!"
"Yes!"
"All ports are on heightened alert, and ships entering and leaving must be checked in advance."
"Yes!"
"The Caribbean Fleet will be split in two, let me go into these two ports and hide, and if the pirates attack, I will immediately light the beacon fire, and I will definitely wipe out these filthy guys and send them to hell!"
The major general opened his eyes angrily and said viciously, he dared to sack the port city in a row, the damn pirate didn't take his Spanish empire seriously.
"Yes!"
On the same day, the Spanish fleet split up and sailed into the predetermined place to ambush it.
Of course, the 7 pirate ships were sent out by Wang Xuan, and the biggest stumbling block to ruling the Caribbean Sea was Spain, and he made him not let the other party have a good time!
If the port defense is lax, then just take it and loot it, if there are naval guards nearby, it doesn't matter, if there is less, give them a pot to serve!
Even if it encounters all the main forces of the Western Navy, it will be fine, after all, it is to take advantage of the sneak attack, and it will be ...... with one shot Runbei...... Scattered and fled...... It's a pirate anyway, it's all a basic!
A large number of goods were transported back to a sub-base opened by Wang Xuan, and if they were not transported back for the time being, they didn't want to startle the snake.
Seven pirate ships forced their way through the ships that had come up to inspect them, stormed the harbor and began shelling, and almost at the same time, the harbor was lit with beacons and began to report to the Spanish navy that was lying in ambush nearby!
Wang Xuan's pirate fleet saw that the other party had lit a beacon fire, and immediately realized that there was an ambush nearby, hurriedly fired a few cannons and immediately turned around, and just drove out of the port, he saw a huge fleet in the distance like this side drove violently.
Fortunately, the pirate ship still had time to gain the upper hand, and without any further delay, it immediately began to accelerate slowly, but in terms of speed it was slightly slower than the pursuing Spanish fleet, and the distance was slowly but firmly approaching.
After chasing and fleeing, the two fleets slowly left the port, and all the guards in the port breathed a sigh of relief, and then they collapsed to the ground, these pirates were so ferocious that there was hardly any life left in the last few ports that were attacked.
They are also very lucky to survive this time.
After slowly pursuing for more than two hours, the distance between the two fleets was already less than five hundred meters, and the Spanish Navy was sure to be within the range within an hour!
The Spanish Navy has 17 warships, including 3 third-class warships and 14 fourth-class warships.
If he is really caught up by the other party, Wang Xuan's 7 fourth-level battles will definitely be eaten by the other party!
The seven pirate ships began to slowly deviate from the direction of the downwind and began to sail against the wind, almost grazing the island.
The commander of the Western Navy loudly laughed at the pirates for being so stupid, and the distance between the two fleets began to approach rapidly.
The distance between the front and rear fleets was close to 200 meters, and the bow guns were already within range, but the accuracy was not guaranteed at all, and the commander of the Spanish Navy decided to get closer......
The Western Fleet had just chased past the side of the island when it suddenly saw an even larger fleet appearing in sight at an almost parallel speed with a distance of less than 300 meters from its own.
The most important thing is that the opponent's gun door has already been opened, as if you can see the shells inside ready to fire through the muzzle!
The Spanish naval commander's mouth was open, and he stood on the spot for a moment in a panic...... This, this, this......
Obviously, he had fallen for the enemy's tricks, and when he reacted, he immediately shouted: "Turn around, roll out the cannon!" ”
Suddenly, a burst of white smoke swept over the sky.
"Ahem......"
"Ahh
"My eyes!"
"Close your eyes, what the hell is this!"
The Western Navy fleet instantly became even more panicked, and it was impossible to see anything in the lime fog that was flying in the sky.
Of course, now Wang Xuan's fleet can't see the situation on the other side clearly, but it doesn't matter, it just needs to fire cannons in that direction.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
The roar was remembered on Wang Xuan's fleet!
......On the side of the ship, 400 cannons sounded back and forth, and the whistling shells rained down into the lime mist.
The iron projectile smashed the side of the opponent's ship with huge kinetic energy, and the broken wood chips were scattered everywhere with the human body, and the huge Spanish naval fleet was suddenly beaten to the ground.
Sporadic counterattacks began on the second deck, but the inability to aim and the lack of dense firepower would not have any impact on Wang Xuan's main fleet at all.
The fleet began to turn unified, one to seize the tailwind, and the other to switch the ship's side.
Again, a series of roars sounded on the sea, and another 400 shells smashed over, even though the opponent had 17 warships, but these two consecutive rounds of close intensive shelling still caused heavy losses to the Spanish Navy!
At this time, the sea breeze finally blew away the flying lime mist, and many vigilant sailors could still see their eyes, although they inhaled the lime mist and coughed incessantly.
But when I saw it, I was even more frightened......
Turning around again, Wang Xuan's main fleet lined up behind the Spanish Navy.
(Recently, I stayed up late and blew the air conditioner, I had a cold, my head hurt to death, let's stop here today, it's almost one o'clock in the morning, I have to take some medicine to sleep, oops, the medicine can't be stopped...... )
