These pirates silently cleaned up the entire port. Except for the guards who hid in civilian houses, no less than 200 people were killed in the entire port.
These pirates began to drive civilians to transport property to the dock. Three larger cargo ships entered the port at this time, all with a displacement of more than 500 tons.
The pirates were like locusts, not even sparing the shore defense guns on the pier, and used large gantry cranes to get them all onto the ship.
During the retreat, several large merchant ships docked at the port were also driven away.
Of course, pirates did not want worthless things such as food. As a result... after the pirates withdrew, the port without a manager was in chaos. Both slaves and poor people moved away all the valuable materials in the entire port.
At least every household has no shortage of food... Well, yes, the residents are still very grateful to the pirates.
In the Caribbean, five port colonies were looted by pirates, and the entire Spanish colonial area was in turmoil.
"Snapped!"
The Spanish rear admiral slammed the table and tore the letter in his hand to pieces, "Damn pirates, I will tear you into pieces!"
The speed of information exchange in this era was also very slow. It was already a few days later when the Major General received the news, and it was a series of news that ports had been looted.
Since the pirates killed all the port management personnel every time, until now, Rear Admiral Xi did not know the details of the pirates. He only knew that there were seven large ships with fierce firepower. As for the transport ships, he did not take them into consideration.
The major general came to the hanging map and began to investigate.
"According to the route of these pirates... bang." The major general slapped his palm on the map, "They will definitely attack one of these two ports next!"
"Send the order!"
"yes!"
"All ports are on heightened alert, and ships entering and leaving must be inspected in advance."
"yes!"
"Split the Caribbean fleet into two. Let me hide near these two ports. Once the pirates attack, immediately light the beacon. We must catch all these dirty guys and send them to hell!"
The major general opened his eyes angrily and said viciously, how dare he continue to loot the port city, the damn pirates didn't take his Spanish Empire seriously.
"yes!"
That day, the Spanish fleet divided into two and moved into the predetermined location to ambush.
The seven pirate ships were of course sent by Wang Xuan. The biggest stumbling block to dominating the Caribbean was Spain. He told him not to make things easier for the other party!
If the port's defenses are lax, just take it and loot it. If there are naval guards nearby, it doesn't matter. If there are less, just give them a pot!
Even if you encounter the entire main force of the Western Navy, it will be fine. After all, you have the advantage of a sneak attack. Just hit it with one shot and just... run away... scatter in all directions... They are pirates anyway, this is all basic skills!
A large amount of goods were transported back to a sub-base opened by Wang Xuan. They did not transport them back for the time being because they did not want to alert others.
Seven pirate ships forcibly broke through the ships that came up for inspection, rushed into the port and began bombarding them. Almost at the same time, beacon fires were lit in the port and began to report to the Spanish navy ambushing nearby!
Wang Xuan's pirate fleet saw the other party lighting the beacon fire, and immediately realized that there was an ambush nearby. They hurriedly fired a few cannons and immediately turned around. As soon as they left the port, they saw a huge fleet in the distance firing menacingly like this.
Came over.
Fortunately, the pirate ship still had time to gain the upper hand, and without any further delay, it immediately began to accelerate slowly, but its speed was slightly slower than that of the pursuing Spanish fleet, and the distance was slowly but firmly approaching.
After chasing and escaping, the two fleets slowly left the port. All the guards at the port breathed a huge sigh of relief, and then collapsed to the ground. This group of pirates was so brutal that they barely left much behind in the last few ports that were attacked.
Live mouth.
They were extremely lucky to survive this time.
After slowly pursuing it for more than two hours, the distance between the two fleets was less than 500 meters. The Spanish Navy was confident that it would be within range within an hour!
The Spanish Navy has 17 battleships, including 3 third-class battleships and 14 fourth-class battleships.
If the opponent really catches up, Wang Xuan's seven level four battleships will definitely be eaten by the opponent!
The seven pirate ships began to slowly deviate from the direction of the downwind and began to sail against the wind, almost passing by the small island.
The commander of the Western Navy loudly laughed at how stupid the pirates were, and the two fleets began to approach quickly.
The distance between the two fleets was close to 200 meters, and the bow cannon was already within range. However, the accuracy could not be guaranteed at all. The commander of the Spanish Navy decided to get closer...
The Western Fleet had just chased over from the side of the island, and suddenly saw an even larger fleet appearing within sight at an almost parallel speed with itself at a distance of less than 300 meters.
The most important thing is that the opponent's gun door has already been opened, and it seems that you can see the ready-to-fire shells inside through the muzzle!
The Spanish naval commander's mouth opened wide, and he stood there in panic for a moment... This, this, this...
Obviously, he had fallen into the enemy's trick. When he reacted, he immediately shouted: "Turn around and push out the cannon!"
Suddenly, a burst of white smoke filled the sky and earth.
"Ahem..."
"ah!!"
"my eyes!"
"Close your eyes, what the hell is this!"
The Western Navy fleet instantly became more panicked, and could not see anything in the lime mist that was flying all over the sky.
Of course, Wang Xuan's fleet can't see clearly what's happening on the opposite side now, but it doesn't matter, they just need to fire their guns in that direction.
"fire!"
"fire!"
The roar came to mind on Wang Xuan's fleet!
"Boom, boom, boom..." On the side of the ship, 400 cannons sounded before and after, and the roaring shells blasted into the lime mist like raindrops.
The iron projectiles carried huge kinetic energy and shattered the side of the opponent's ship. Broken wood fragments were thrown everywhere with human bodies in them. The huge Spanish navy fleet was immediately beaten into a state of disarray.
Sporadic counterattacks began on the second deck, but the inability to aim and the lack of intensive firepower would not have any impact on Wang Xuan's main fleet at all.
The fleet uniformly began to turn, firstly to seize the tailwind and also to change the ship's side.
Once again, there was a series of roars on the sea, and another 400 shells were fired at it. Even though the opponent had 17 warships, these two consecutive rounds of close-range and intensive shelling still caused heavy losses to the Spanish Navy!
At this time, the sea breeze finally blew away the flying lime mist. Although many alert sailors inhaled the lime mist and coughed, they could still see with their eyes.
But after seeing it, I was even more frightened...
Turning around again, Wang Xuan's main fleet passed neatly behind the Spanish navy.
