Suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire, and before a large number of guards could react, they were directly pierced by bullets, killed and wounded by rockets, and swallowed up by artillery fire.
Ten minutes later, the gunfire stopped. Apart from the corpses on the ground in the distance, there was only a group of frightened guards. They immediately put down their swords and knelt on the ground, looking around them with fear. The companions who had just been chatting and laughing with them were now
All turned into corpses.
"Detain all the remaining guards, and when they arrive at Greenstone Town, organize them all into death camps." Qin Feng turned and left, and the matter here was over.
After yesterday's storm, more than 200 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were buried in the sea, and many warships were damaged. Fortunately, there were no major problems in traveling on the sea.
At the same time, Qin Feng also discovered the problems of the Marine Corps from yesterday, especially regarding the arms that use gunpowder. On rainy days, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and they can only be used as ordinary melee arms. The cost of such combat will be very high.
This kind of problem cannot be solved by Qin Feng alone. After all, he was just a hot weapon enthusiast in the past. He had no chance to touch real firearms. As for the design principles, he knew nothing about it.
"I can only put this issue aside. Maybe I should set up a scientific research team first..." Qin Feng came to the place where Taoist priest Liu Yun was, preparing to discuss with him the candidates for forming a scientific research team.
On the other side of the island, 22 large ships are docked on the shore, 2 of which are merchant ships, 2 are two-warships, and 18 are single-warships.
There are currently less than 200 sailors guarding the ship, and many of the empty spaces are used by Nixon to load merchandise. It can be said that Nixon is very careful about making full use of all the free space.
The main duty of these sailors is to drive the ship, and they will also be used as combatants when necessary. They are not pirates recruited from the sea but fishermen recruited from the island. They are very responsible.
Nixon was also afraid that the pirates he recruited would embezzle his property, so he spent a long time looking for these honest sailors.
When the sailors who got up early were washing the messy deck, a fleet of nearly 50 ships came in from a distance. Seeing such a large fleet, all the sailors did not move without orders.
Watching the fleet approaching, approaching each other, and people boarding the ship.
Watching warriors wearing rattan armor, holding shields and sabers, boarding the ship row by row, the deck was filled with people in less than ten minutes.
A bosun suddenly came over in panic and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do? Do you know whose ship this is?"
"Old One-Eyed" Galan crossed the ship's string and came to the deck, looked at the panicked boatswain, and threw the human head in his hand into his arms.
"This? This is...Mr. Nixon..." The boatswain became even more panicked.
When the news of the death of businessman Nixon spread throughout the fleet, all the sailors were at a loss, and some secretly cried, worrying about their wages.
"Old One-Eyed" Galan waved his hand and asked the soldiers to escort all the caravan sailors into the cabin and successfully occupied the fleet.
At this point, businessman Nixon and his fleet were completely wiped out.
Qin Feng and others took advantage of the coolness of the morning and boarded an increasingly large team, heading in the direction of the Paya Kingdom.
After several days of sailing and good weather, we finally arrived at the northern boundary of the free sea.
Under the clear sky, on the calm sea level, on the deck of the Swift Fire, businessmen Richard and Liu Mengzheng bid farewell to Qin Feng.
"Captain, we will definitely live up to your trust this time." The two of them clasped their fists.
"You must be careful when you go here. I will hand over part of the fleet to you. If we can't reach an agreement, don't force it. Just come back directly."
"Yes, Governor."
Qin Feng turned around and left, taking a small boat to the Ming Dynasty's Sanzhi gunboat Qingfeng. This time Qin Feng handed over 24 warships and 1,000 sailors including "Old One-Eyed" Gelan and Swift Fire to the businessman.
Chad, send the assassin Ye Tian and the spy Liu Man to protect them. This time the lineup is very strong.
Their trade partner this time is the trade route that Nixon and his team have just opened, the kobold tribe in the dark forest.
Qin Feng originally wanted to go take a look, but he had just received news from the Taoist priest Liu Shui that the Puppet King Charlie had sent troops to attack the camp in Huangyu Town and also launched a surprise attack on Langsha Castle, but he failed to succeed.
But it's time for him to go back, trying to resolve his territorial disputes as soon as possible and gain a stable rear.
The huge fleet began to divide, and Qin Feng took all the Ming warships into the Organ Sea. With the blessing of the northeasterly wind, they sailed day and night, and approached the simple port of Bainiao Town in less than three days.
Qin Feng, who should have been happy, saw the sound of cannons in the distance and the two fleets fighting fiercely. However, it was obvious that the fleet flying the blue golden dragon flag had fallen into a disadvantage.
It's not because there are not as many warships as others, but because there are not enough magic crystal cannonballs.
Since Qin Feng captured this fleet, he has not replenished the fleet that was already short of ammunition. The main reason is that the artillery shells are too expensive, so expensive that Qin Feng doesn't want to buy them at all.
"I didn't expect that someone would dare to come and rob my territory."
Qin Feng's eyes flashed with cold light as he stood on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze.
"Captain, look, it's the fleet of Black Rock Island." 'Golden Earring' reminded from the side after putting down the telescope in his hand.
The pupils in Qin Feng's eyes kept changing. Looking around, he saw a flag with a broken sword hanging on the ship chasing the fleet stationed in White Bird Town.
"It's the fleet from Black Rock Island that's coming for revenge..." Qin Feng tapped the vermilion handle of Qi's sword.
"The whole army is coming, and I will cripple them..." Qin Feng said sternly: "I will pay back to them the hatred for chasing us last time."
"Yes." 'Golden Earring' quickly gave the order.
All the warships were arranged in a V shape, with the three gunboats in the middle, the picket ships on both sides, and the Haicang ship in the middle to support the two sides.
"Fire..." each flag bearer waved his flag.
A large number of artillery began to spit fire, and countless shells fell on the pursuing Blackstone Island fleet, causing countless splashes and destroying several single-handed warships.
This also startled the other party.
On the flagship of Blackstone Island, on the deck of a two-armed warship, the fat Baron Baker of Blackstone was sitting on a specially placed large seat. At this time, he was looking at the water splashing around him with a frightened face.
"Who? Who is attacking us? Isn't the fleet of the Kingdom of Paya out of shells?"
Captain Barron, who was wearing a black captain's uniform, ran to the bowstring of the ship and looked into the distance. The huge V-shaped fleet was firing at them. Countless firelights on the ships in the fleet kept lighting up and disappearing, and then there was a ball at the muzzle of the gun.
White mist rose immediately.
"Sir, a huge fleet came from the east, and they fired at us."
"What, who are they? How many are there? Can we fight back?" Baron Baker of Blackstone was slightly panicked.
Captain Barron shook his head, "It's too far away to see their flags, but the number is twice as many as ours, and their artillery fire range is more than twice as long as ours. Not only can we not hit them, we can't hit them."
People."
"What the hell, how could they shoot so far, are we just passively beaten like this?" Baron Baker of Blackstone showed an incredible expression, "Aren't they all [ballistics experts] on board?"
"This?" Captain Barron couldn't answer, but the range of the opponent's artillery shells was more than twice theirs. If they were all [ballistic experts], they wouldn't be so inaccurate.
The only explanation is that their special cannon can shoot very far, but it is not the work of [ballistics experts].
"boom…"
A cannonball hit the flagship of Blackstone Island, immediately creating a large hole. Everyone on the ship was shaken and staggered. Baron Baker of Blackstone was also shaken to the point of falling off his chair.
Captain Barron took a quick step and raised his hand to hold Baron Baker's right shoulder to prevent him from falling down and making a fool of himself in public.
"Sir, we'd better retreat quickly..."
Seeing the helpless expression on Captain Barron's face, Baron Baker was immersed in it for a second, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Go and ask them why they attacked us. If there is anything that offends them, we can give them some compensation."
Baron Baker did not want to let go of the fleet of the Kingdom of Paya at this time. Now they were running out of ammunition. As long as they continued to pursue, the opponent would only end up being passively beaten, either surrendering, or they would all be sunk into the sea.
Looking at the determined eyes of Baron Blackstone Baker, Captain Barron nodded seriously. "Okay, sir."
A rap parrot was carried out by Captain Barron with both hands. After it flew into the air, it flew straight into the distance. Its target was the middle ship in the V-shape.
After the battle with the White Bird Town garrison fleet, the Black Rock Island fleet had lost 4 Danzhi warships. When Raptor flew to Qin Feng's flagship, another 4 Danzhi warships were sunk by the Ming Dynasty fleet.
"It seems that the opponent doesn't want to escape, and is still arranging a fleet formation to fight." Qin Feng's mouth showed sarcasm, "Then give them some color and sink them all as long as they don't surrender."
"Captain, look, there's a rap parrot..." 'Golden Earring' suddenly pointed to the sky.
Qin Feng looked up and saw a large blue parrot flying down, with a red and white bristly hair on its head swaying in the wind.
The rap parrot stopped on the bow of the boat, swaying his head from side to side and looking at Qin Feng and the 'Golden Earring', as if to determine who was in charge.
"I am Barron, the captain of Blackstone Island, and I would like to express my greetings to you on behalf of the Baron of Blackstone Island." The rap parrot bowed down in a classy manner, touching the wing of his right hand on his left chest.
Qin Feng suddenly found it interesting.
I must buy a few more of these big parrots in the future. They can actually make real-time calls. In the future, my fleet will no longer need to use flag-bearers to convey messages. This is much more efficient than flag-bearers.
"Hello, Captain Barron, what do you want from me? Do you want to surrender?" Qin Feng looked at the rap parrot with a slightly arrogant look.
