Chapter 192: Negotiation?!
At this moment, the sky is nothing but fire and smoke, and the sea is full of smoke and fire.
From a distance, it is long impossible to tell whether it is the morning sun or the blood staining the sea......
The roar of the shelling continued, and the shells fell into the sea, and the splashes were scattered everywhere and sprinkled on the waves.
After the initial panic, the commander on the bunker made a wise decision, ignoring Wang Hao's mortar at all, and still concentrating his fire on the rushing pirate ship.
All the batteries on the bunkers reopened fire and began to spew flames at the pirate ships, and the entire fleet that surrounded the fortress in a semicircle was once again subjected to artillery fire.
But there is much more to the pirate ship than just a few heavy cannons, and the floating mines are also a nightmare for the pirates.
Luckily, experienced pirates have already taken these factors into account, and they will send some small 'bait boats' completely unarmed to pave the way for subsequent ships.
I can only be glad that there are no triggered underwater mines in this era, otherwise these large ships full of sailors and with a very deep waterline would not even be able to touch the edge of the fortress.
However, even then, there is no guarantee that the hidden danger of mines will be completely eliminated. And a mine, although it may not be able to blow up and sink a ship, can at least slow down the ship, and when you are unlucky, you can be directly paralyzed.
Countless pirate ships were reduced to broken planks, and moaning was everywhere on the sea. Some pirates swam in a panic towards an unknown direction, while others desperately climbed onto a floating object and passed out.
In the midst of all this, everyone else has a gloomy indifference, and no one wants to help others.
Finally, as if a century had passed, there was finally a ship among the pirates, dragging its almost falling apart body, and barely touching the edge of the fortress.
And then there's the second, and then the third......
Then I heard the sound of gunfire coming from the walls of the fortress.
Then, after a while, I heard a loud bang, and the gate of the fortress was blown to pieces.
To be on the safe side, the pirates placed a very large amount of gunpowder, and even the entire fortress gate was blown into a huge gap.
The navy, which stood side by side inside to guard the gate, only had time to fire a round of guns before a melee began a melee with the approaching pirates at the gap.
Bullets radiated from every dark corner, and smoke and chaos filled the fortress.
Pirates with a variety of weapons in their hands poured into the fortress, while navy officers in red uniforms raised their guns and shot at them.
At the beginning, when facing the onslaught of pirates, the navy could still follow the established formation and place a platoon of guns under the command of the officer.
However, it didn't take long for rows of bullets to come in from all angles, piercing their bodies.
The formation of the navy began to become chaotic, so that the pirates who charged forward could no longer be suppressed.
Pirates, navies, countless people fell on this blood-soaked land.
Before he died, a Navy soldier clenched his fingers into fists as if he were trying to grasp the lost life. But then his arms drooped and his fingers relaxed.
He, along with his comrades-in-arms, finally fulfilled the oath he had made to the queen that year. If you die on the battlefield, you can sleep and rest in peace.
All kinds of shrill whistling sounds, overwhelming explosions, and the crisp sound of blades striking echoed throughout the fortress.
Bricks, dirt, tiles, and even human stumps flew in the air, and cries, shouts, and cries for help were endless.
In everyone's eyes, there were only two colors left in the world: the gray-black that was splashing everywhere and the dazzling bright red mixed in.
Edward Titch the Blackbeard, with his terrifying demonic outfit, is now leading his pirates on a rampage through the fortress.
At this moment, Blackbeard is completely immersed in the enchanting music of guns and swords.
He did not know how to pre-think, estimate, or measure his own strength and that of others, and he experienced insane pleasure and intoxication in battle. When his head was hot, everything swelled and flickered before his eyes, his head flew, and his body fell to the ground with a thud.
He was like a drunkard, in the whistling of bullets, in the glitter of swords, and in his own passions, he killed people without hearing the sorrow of the slain, and when he kept speeding forward, he felt as happy as a festival.
The slaughter continues.
The navy, which had lost the protection of the fortress, looked so helpless under the absolute numerical superiority of the pirates.
At this time, the air was filled with the smell of blood and gunsmoke, and the fortress was full of ruins. From time to time, a powder keg is ignited and explodes, and the whole world seems to tremble, and the earth collapses.
In a short period of time, one by one the living lives came to naught. It was as if they had been slashed with a thousand knives, their heads and limbs were torn apart, and their torsos were shattered.
At this moment of being consumed by blood, it is no longer possible to distinguish what a weapon is. Blood-red hands and sharp teeth can't wait to tear face after face apart. The brain has long lost its rationality, and it seems to be out of control to satisfy its desire to kill.
Now it seems that the most wonderful feeling in the world is the thrill of being able to erase everything with your own hands.
At noon, the bright sun shone on the fortress, but it was obscured by the smoke that spread from above, and the blood covered the earth.
The soil had long since turned reddish-brown, and the blood could not coagulate, just as the haze over the fortress could not be dispersed.
Everywhere you look, you can see parts of the limbs that have long been unrecognizable. The sounds of fighting, shouting, and gunfire that filled the area not long ago were gone, but the silence seemed extremely hideous.
As if in an instant, everything was gone, everything.
However, in the depths of the fortress, a standoff is going on......
Although the vast majority of the navy has been wiped out, the campaign continues, as not every navy would rather die than be captured.
A dozen naval officers were surrounded in the middle by a group of pirates, who formed a large circle, like a herd of bison surrounded by wolves.
The pirate's encirclement held them down like a poisonous snake wrapped around the body of a bison.
โParley๏ผโ
Obviously, not every valiant Royal Navy is willing to give their life for the Queen, but it is an indisputable fact that every pirate is willing to sacrifice his life for gold.
According to past market conditions, the ransom of these dozen naval officers is also a large amount of income, which is usually something that pirates cannot refuse.
However, Black Sam was hesitating, because in front of countless treasures, this ransom was really out of sight, and the most convenient way at the moment was to solve them.
But the other party was the first to shout the word 'negotiation', which made Black Sam a little painful.
Because, in Pirates of the Caribbean, there is a pirate code that stipulates that if the enemy asks for negotiations, the pirates cannot harm him until the negotiations are over.
"What do you think, King?" Black Sam turned his head and asked Wang Hao's opinion.
Very sensible choice, if it was Blackbeard who asked, he would not care about the pirate code or the law, and these people could only pray that their death would be easier in the end.
"Since they want to negotiate, let's negotiate first......
After speaking, Wang Hao stood up: "Gentlemen, since you are asking for negotiations, please tell us your conditions and bargaining chips." โ
A dozen naval officers looked at each other, and the last officer, who was a little older, put away his weapon and stepped forward. A smile barely pulled out of his face, and he said with a flower in his mouth: "Hello, sir, I am glad that there is a civilized person among this group of barbarians. I would like to say ......"
"Very good, Mr. Navy," Wang Hao suddenly interrupted the Navy's words, "We can't fulfill any of the requirements you mentioned. So, the negotiations broke down! โ
