One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty One: The Power of Turning the Corner
The first mate's eyes were solemn. He looked at the undisguised greed in the eyes of the other pirates and immediately knew that these people would not obey his orders.
The captain comes from a wealthy family and can bring benefits to them. These pirates are all desperadoes who are unjust and unjust. No matter how you look at it, it is obviously more promising to flatter the captain than to follow the first mate. How can these pirates listen to the first mate?
Order?
The first mate originally thought that these pirates had been following him for many years and would not be snatched away by a newly arrived member of a wealthy family. Unexpectedly, friendship was like a window paper in the face of interests, which could be broken with just a prick.
"Then I wish you victory and return, and I'll go back to the ship and wait for you." The first mate said directly that he didn't want to participate.
"Okay, then you go back to the ship first." The captain nodded slightly.
Now that everyone is on the captain's side, he naturally no longer needs the first mate. Since the first mate doesn't want to get rich, of course he won't force it.
The first mate took one last look at his former subordinates, sighed and turned back to the ship with a feeling of loneliness.
But even so, someone still reminded the captain: "Sir, what should we do if he returns to the ship and sails away without waiting for us? Do you want to?"
A ship is more important than a human life on the sea. The death of one person is not a big deal to the pirates. They have long been used to it. But if there is no ship, then everyone will die!
The captain glanced sideways at this man, and immediately sighed in his heart that he was indeed a pirate, and his cruelty and viciousness were completely undisguised.
"Don't worry! He can't drive the boat away."
How could he, as a son of a wealthy family, not even know the importance of the ship? He had already arranged manpower on the ship, and now that all the pirates were turning to him, the first mate alone would not even be able to do these small tricks.
The captain watched the first mate leave in the boat with a sneer on his lips. If the first mate was obedient, he could spare his life. Otherwise, he would be killed!
"Let's go, those people must not have escaped far, let's chase them quickly!" The captain shouted and immediately aroused the ferocious nature of all the pirates.
Some pirates stepped forward and said, "Sir, the younger one is good at tracking, why not let the younger one explore the path for you!"
"Okay! Hahaha" At this time, if there is someone who can track, it will not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also there is no need to worry about those people escaping. Of course the captain is happy.
Yu Qian led a group of classmates onto the hill, and as far as the eye could see, there were endless shrubs.
The tallest shrubs are no higher than a person's knees. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to escape the pirates behind the concrete in such an unobstructed place.
"Brother Yu, what should I do?" Yang Qing also knew that in the current situation, it was impossible to escape.
With such a wide plain, even if they tried their best, they would not be able to run through the bushes before the pirates chased them.
Yu Qian turned back and glanced towards the seaside, and saw that the pirates had discovered where they were and were chasing them like ants.
He looked up at the location of the pirate ship and made a mental calculation.
He immediately said, "Everyone, we will definitely not be able to escape if we run now. Only by fighting hard can we have a chance of survival."
"Fortunately, we are far away from the cannon's range here, and we are also in a good location, so we can give it a try!"
"Brother Yu, just give the order!" One of them immediately stood up and said, "After being chased by these pirates like dogs for a day, we have already been filled with anger!"
"That's right, if you want to leave, you can leave. We're not planning to leave anyway. Let's fight them right here!"
"Fight it! Fight it!"
"Okay!" Yu Qian immediately raised his hand to interrupt everyone and said, "Fortunately, we are in a good location. These two hills are exactly two commanding heights, which can form a cornering situation. Yang Qing!"
"Brother Yu, please give me your instructions!" Yang Qing was shocked.
"Take half of your people to occupy that hilltop, and I will lead my people to guard this place. Let's fight them to the death here!" Yu Qian shouted loudly.
"Yes." Yang Qing immediately replied loudly, and then shouted to everyone, "If you are willing to guard that side, follow me!"
Everyone automatically divided into half and followed Yang Qing.
Yu Qian quickly led his people up to another hilltop, moved all the surrounding stones over, and began to build simple fortifications.
There is nothing, and it is impossible to pile it high just by relying on the stones. However, lying behind the stones can at least resist the direct shots of the opponent's bows and arrows, which is somewhat effective.
Yu Qian and others had just piled up the stones when they saw pirates appearing at the foot of the hillside.
The pirates obviously also discovered them and immediately slowed down.
The captain frowned when he saw that there were people guarding the two highest hills.
"How dare you resist instead of running away?"
Who are these people? How can they be so bold?
Since the captain set out to sea, he has successively plundered more than a dozen native strongholds, but once the natives were defeated, no natives dared to resist anymore.
Unexpectedly, these people were chased by him and had to abandon the ship, but they still had the courage to confront him.
Where did these people come from? Not only was their ship strong, but it was also only slightly slower than his pirate ship.
According to common sense, the speed of such a huge ship should be far slower than that of a pirate ship.
In other words, the construction technology of the big ship was even better than any shipbuilding technology he had ever seen. This was simply not something that the natives could do.
"Sir, what should we do?" Although the pirates did not understand what it meant for the other party to occupy these two hills, they could also feel the strong murderous intention of the other party.
For a moment, I felt a little gloomy in my heart.
The captain took another look at the layout on the two hills. Even though he knew it was a tough one, he didn't want to give up.
First of all, the origins of these people are mysterious, and they may have some big secrets. If these people can be caught, the benefits will be self-evident.
Secondly, after coming, if he leaves without giving it a try, wouldn't he lose his own reputation? What's more, it's just these pirates who died anyway, not his confidants, and he doesn't feel bad.
"It's just a bluff! Give them all to me. The first one to rush forward will get ten bounty coins!" The captain knew very well that a big reward must be a brave man.
A simple sentence instantly made the pirates' eyes turn red. They all raised their scimitars and let out weird roars as they rushed towards the hillside.
Yu Qian lay on the ground and said calmly, "Hit me as soon as they come into range!"
"yes!"
The people on the left and right pulled the bolts of their guns and pressed the bullets in, aiming at the pirates who were slowly climbing up the hill. The first mate's eyes were solemn. He looked at the undisguised greed in the eyes of the other pirates and immediately knew that these people would not obey his orders.
