Ding Yunyi poured the last sip of wine into his mouth, and then smashed the wine bowl with force: "Brothers, it's dawn! Pick up your weapons!"
The men with blood-red eyes were completely stimulated by the alcohol and became highly energetic. They howled and picked up their weapons one after another.
Pirates! Pirates!
At dawn, these men who are both soldiers and thieves will embark on a path that is different from any Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers...
Its daybreak......
...
"Viking".
Poleman stood on the deck, letting the sea breeze blow on his face.
Beautiful sea, beautiful country. The adventure in China is really a pleasant experience. Full of wealth collected from Taiwan, soaring over the sea, and then you can quickly return to your hometown and take the cargo on the ship.
Turn into real gold coins.
God, I will become a rich man soon.
But you have to be careful this time. There is also Governor Putmans' personal belongings in the ship, which is a box full of treasures.
"Captain, the flag has been hoisted." First mate Elliot Vanwell came to Poleman's side.
Poleman looked back and saw that Zheng Zhilong's flag was flying in the wind. The Chinese flag was actually flying on the Dutch warship, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.
"I really want to tear it to pieces!" said Fanville angrily.
"I also want to tear it apart." Bolaiman shrugged: "But there is no way. This place is full of Zheng Yiguan's power. Mr. Elliott, think about it, let's sail the 'Viking'
Returning to the country will mean great wealth, right? As for Zheng Yiguan, Mr. Governor will find a way to deal with him. Sometimes tolerance is also a way to win."
Van Wel barely suppressed his inner displeasure: "Wocadek came back from Penghu, and he met their commander-in-chief Ding Yunyi. It is said that he is a drunkard and a greedy Ming Dynasty official."
"What a good Ming Dynasty official." Poleman smiled disdainfully: "The more greedy such people are, the more beneficial they are to us. Isn't it like this? When we are ready, we can
Those damn Chinese were driven off Penghu. Mr. Elliot, the Ming government is now in some chaos. The mob uprisings and confrontations with the nomads have made them tired of dealing with it. Soon we will find an opportunity."
"Captain, an unknown ship has been spotted ahead!"
This call from the masttop immediately attracted the attention of Poleman and Van Wel.
Captain Poleman picked up his telescope and looked across the sea.
What he saw was not very clear, but the shadow of a ship appeared vaguely. Mr. Poleman didn't pay much attention to this, as there would always be ships of this kind on the sea.
The sea is not the sea of the "Viking".
Gradually I was able to see the ship clearly.
The headache for Poleman and the Dutch is that you can't find out at the first time whether the other party is a pirate ship. Chinese or Japanese pirates don't like to fly the skull and crossbones flag representing pirates on the ship. You can only rely on
The crew's dress and their own experience determine the other party's purpose.
"Hell, that seems to be a group of armed men... and there are cannons on the ship." Fanville exclaimed.
Captain Poleman also saw it clearly, but he didn't care, because there was Zheng Zhilong's command flag on the "Viking", and no one dared to touch it on this sea.
"Captain, they are approaching us!"
"Hell, they're fast!"
"Viking, prepare to fight!" When Captain Poleman issued this order, he had some doubts in his heart. Didn't those on the other side see the flag of Zheng Yiguan on his ship?
"Viking, prepare to fight!" Van Wel also issued a battle order.
"Pirates, pirates confirmed! Mr. Captain, they are a group of pirates!"
"Fire to prevent them from approaching!"
...
A huge column of water rose up.
Zhang Xianxuan pulled out his sword and roared: "Target - the 'Viking', fire!"
"Fire! Fire!"
The two sides exchanged artillery fire at each other, and the shells continued to roar on the left and right sides of the warship. Columns of water rose into the sky, and then spread out in mid-air, and fell toward the warship with great momentum.
"Go ahead at full speed and approach the Viking!"
"Full speed ahead!"
...
The naval battle has begun!
Ding Yunyi tore open his shirt, revealing his naked upper body. He pulled out the dazzling "Dragon Tooth" and said sternly: "Brothers, charge at me!"
There were fifteen small boats, with four people in each boat. The brothers on the boat let out a cheer, and like their captains, everyone tore off their shirts, revealing their muscular upper bodies.
The small boat began to quickly approach the battle waters.
The brothers in the boat rowed hard, and the boat was like an arrow leaving the string!
Long Zhantian's boat was the first to rush. He bit the blade of the knife with his mouth, his eyes were red and he was full of alcohol. He paddled hard with the oar in his hand.
There is always an order, and the first one to board the "Viking" will be rewarded with an extra ten taels of silver!
Twelve taels of white and colorful silver! That’s enough to get yourself a wife!
If Hongyi blows himself up with a cannon, it is unsaid that his fate is bad. But if his fate is good, then his good days are coming!
The brothers on the surrounding ships all had the same thoughts as him...
...
Captain Poleman was relieved.
The enemy's ships are completely different from our own, both in terms of draft and firepower.
These pirates must be crazy, actually want to rob the "Viking" with such a ship?
The sailors on the "Viking" also discovered it. They let out bursts of mocking laughter and kept throwing cannonballs at each other. Some even took off their pants and humiliatingly exposed their buttocks to the enemy ship.
swaying.
"A bunch of crazy people."
When the firepower of the "Viking" completely suppressed the enemy and forced the enemy ships to dodge in embarrassment, Poleman sarcastically said: "Do they really think they can get close to the Viking?"
"They may have gone crazy thinking about gold coins." Van Wel smiled unscrupulously: "Sink them into the sea, Mr. Captain."
Just when Captain Poleman wanted to continue to express his opinion, a voice came from the masthead again: "Ship, a large number of small boats are approaching us, very fast!"
Poleman was startled and quickly picked up his telescope.
Yes, he saw a large number of small boats, with several people on each boat. The crew on the boat rowed the boat desperately and were approaching the "Viking" like the wind!
