Chapter 11: Naval Battles and Naval Battles

Cao Bianjiao also needed to pretend to have complex emotions of surprise, betrayal and unwillingness, and then looked at the bald Buddha with a meaty face in front of him with eyes full of such emotions.

"Okay! Admit defeat in betting. Shall we ambush the Dutch fleet? Is there anything else to talk about?" Despite this, Cao Bianjiao took out a fire fold from his arms and held it on top of the box full of explosives. With a look of a big deal and a dead end, the bluffed Deng Coral stood up straight from the Buddha's arms.

"I didn't say we could eat as a family." The bald Buddha didn't expect this new young man to be so angry.

The horizontal one is also afraid of dying, and the Buddha feels that the opposite one is a two hundred and five. The price is all over the place, and the next thing is to pay the money on the spot, how can it become a direct flip table when you get here.

"I'll take the lead, and everyone will send a boat to participate? How?"

"Nope."

As soon as Cao Bianjiao blew, flames came out of the fire fold, rolling in his hands, and then lit the cigarette on his mouth like a trick.

"Whew...... exhaled a large puff of smoke. When he arrived in Nanyang, he became more and more fond of the thick rolls of flue-cured tobacco leaves and bark paper.

"We're not going to take part in the robbery, we're going to cover up. But I, Cao, put my words here, if this battle is over, who doesn't dare to distribute the harvest according to the agreement, don't blame me Cao for being ruthless."

Seven days later.

Cao Bianjiao boarded the ship again with all his men.

This time he decided to go out of the nest. The opponent was a luxurious fleet of 12 gunboats and 12 merchant ships of the Dutch East India Company, whose purpose was to annihilate the most active pirates in the straits.

This was originally a trap.

This trap is simple and crude.

As with all sea traps.

There are only two words, and that is camouflage. Just when you think you're facing an armed merchant ship, you're just about to get closer to find that you're facing a warship. Then eat you with massive firepower and sheer speed.

When Cao Bianjiao's flagship Sihai set sail on Duran Island, sixty pirate ships of all kinds gathered here by other pirates, large and small, also began to anchor at the same time, and Yang Fan set off.

Leaving the strait, the two fleets began to go their separate ways. Sixty corsair ships began to search east for the armed merchant ships responsible for transport. Cao Bianjiao's Four Seas Fleet was heading southeast, where there should have been twelve warships waiting for them.

After a full day at sea, Cao Bianjiao gathered the captains of his seven ships together on his flagship.

"All on alert, if the other side is indeed an armed merchant ship, we will rush all the way. If we are unlucky and the other party digs a hole for us again, then we should rush all the way! Got it?"

Ma Ke and Bai Daohui were mixed in the captain's team, and the captains of these seven warships had obvious characteristics, even though they used a lot of Kunlun Nu and Western mechanics, the captains were all yellow-faced.

"Understood." The Admiral's words are very clear, on the ocean, strength comes first. Once the gap in strength is huge, it is the most correct choice to break away as soon as possible.

"This time we are facing armed merchant ships, what we need is to jump into the gang while they are not paying attention!"

"We need to get as much supplies as we can, especially ships. We don't have enough materials for the big ship repairs, do you understand?"

"Whoa!"

Many captains made a promise.

Not far to the north of them, the pirates also began to form their own robbery formations.

The Buddha sat on the foredeck with a big grin, the table in front of him was full of wine urns, and Deng Sankou and several other masters sat around him.

"We'll leave after the robbery, and the eyeliner in front of us makes it clear that there are twelve armed merchant ships, no heavy artillery, deep draft, and slow speed. We finished grabbing and went straight back to Paradise Island. As for the bullshit of the Four Seas Fleet, they will play a good game with the Dutch gunboats."

"The Buddha is mighty."

The crowd praised in unison.

At this time, twelve ships flying the flag of the Dutch East India Company appeared in the distance.

"Up!"

At the sound of an order, more than fifty Blackfish boats swarmed up.

It wasn't until the distance visible to the naked eye that the pirates were surprised to discover. He was faced with armed merchant ships loaded with gold and jewels, but typical Dutch classical warships.

The warships were also well aware that they quickly and completely shed their disguises, lifted their original turtles, and ran over the pirates at high speed.

Not far away, four boats of a small gang were already preparing to escape. But at such a distance, these pirates, who were preparing to jump into gangs, were the opponents of the well-trained Dutch warships.

The battleship opened fire instantly, and clouds of green smoke filled the Dutch battleship, and the swarthy flowering bullets and chain bombs rushed towards the pirate ship, and the pirate ship cracked like porcelain where the shells fell.

The sound of the ship's hull cracking was heard in the ears of the stunned Buddha, as if hearing the mourning of a beautiful woman's death.

"What to do, what to do!" The first mate who operated the ship shouted anxiously to the Buddha.

The Blackfish ship of the Buddha was still rushing towards the Dutch warship at high speed, and it was not as easy as it was on land to stop or turn around on the sea. The shotguns of the Dutch ships were already firing at the bottom, and the egg-sized iron balls swept through the decks of the nearer Blackfish ships like a storm.

"Rush forward! Entangle him!"

The Buddha also knew that he had no way out today, and now he had to rely on it to go up, which was his only chance.

He pushed away the sailors who were operating the foredeck cable guns, took aim himself, and fired his massive iron claws at the Dutch battleship. At this time, under the leadership of the Buddha, more than fifty pirate blackfish ships also changed from headless flies to spiders with iron claws under the inspiration of the Buddha.

The Dutch warships bombarded with cannons, and the pirates desperately pressed to his massive side.

Countless shells exploded on the Blackfish, but there were also more claws and cables fired at the battleship.

"Kill, lean in!"

The Buddha's blackfish ship came directly sideways and clinged to the Dutch flagship.

"Fourth, the ship is handed over to you!"

The Buddha roared loudly, took up the cloth bag full of grenades, climbed onto the tense cable, and climbed over the huge ship of the Dutch.

Beside him, more pirates fell, and more pirates climbed up.

"Die!"

The Buddha finally climbed to the side of the boat on a high place, and as soon as he let go, he threw out one grenade after another.

In this way, hundreds of black grenades were thrown onto the deck of the Dutch battleship.

Rumble...... Boom...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

Numerous grenades exploded simultaneously on the deck, leaving almost no one alive on the Dutch battleship. Taking advantage of this gap, the Buddha jumped on it as soon as he turned over, found a large axe from the deck, and slashed it at the helmsman of the Dutch warship with a swing.

"What are you doing stunned? Go on!"

The Buddha was covered in blood, and he was not interested in cleaning up the warship, but instead swung up and rushed to the next warship.

Compared with the north side of the strait, Cao Bianjiao on the south side of the strait is much easier.

This batch was a decoy, and it was also an armed merchant ship loaded as a gunboat.

"Admiral, do you say that the port of the Dutch in the old port of Sumatra is empty now?" Bai Daohui shouted loudly in Cao Bianjiao's ear.

"What do you mean?" Bai Daohui was setting up the helmsman, and the entire Four Seas Fleet was arranged in a tight column, trying to make the Dutch on the opposite side feel that they were preparing to pass through harmlessly.

"If only we could capture a complete battleship. It's nothing more than a deception." Bai Daohui said.

"When the time comes, we'll go straight back to the city and set a fire to the Dutchman's cellar?"

"Good!" Cao Bianjiao immediately understood Bai Daohui's meaning

See.

The two fleets were getting closer and closer, and Cao Bianjiao's flagships were almost enough to completely expose their left side to the armed merchant ships.

"Hit!"

White smoke erupted from every ship, and rockets whistled out of the firing barrels.

The warheads of the first shells were yellow and filled with flammers such as white phosphorus. Armed merchant ships were shot one after another, and a fire began.

"Right full rudder!" With an order, the Four Seas quickly approached the largest armed merchant ship.

With the squeaky sound of the Four Seas, it was merely leaning against the side of the Dutch armed merchant ship. The soldiers of the four seas began to jump from their warships.

Even though these armed merchant ships were heavily damaged, they had no intention of retreating after understanding the intentions of the Four Seas Fleet. Even when an armed Dutch merchant ship was hit by a rocket and caught fire, he still rushed to the Four Seas Fleet decisively and resolutely, hoping that he could drag these warships from nowhere for his own warships in the distance.

Cao Bianjiao had already taken control of an armed merchant ship, and his own soldiers, armed with rifles, spears and grenades, blocked the Dutch who wanted to leave the cabin.

"Clear the deck, search floor by floor, and the rest of me will come with me!"
