Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

The soldiers around Huang Ding also held up the lit matchlock to draw a circle, and there were several "bang bang bang", and several flames rose from the two ships immediately, and the soldiers who set fire immediately jumped into the sea from the two ships, struggling to fight. Swim towards Huang Ding's boat.

A boat caught fire, which immediately attracted the attention of the pier and other boats.The port gradually became agitated, and the Dutch colonists yelled and shouted in birdsong: "Fire!" Even at this time, they just thought it was an accidental fire, and they didn't know that it was a surprise attack by the Runing Army.Therefore, no one doubted the soldiers who were swimming. They thought that the sailors on the two ships that caught fire were jumping into the sea to escape.

The noise in the port was getting louder and soon affected the ship.Captain Ferreira of the Lookout immediately woke up from his dream. He has been traveling in the Far East, South America and Europe for more than ten years, and he has made a lot of money. What about the life of the upper class?So when he heard "Fire!", he was afraid that something might happen to his boat, so he jumped up from the bed.

The sailors on the ship also woke up from their dreams one after another, and they also rushed to the deck in a hurry, wanting to see the situation on their own ship.But the sailors at the front stopped as soon as they got out of the cabin, but when they were hit by the sailors behind, they immediately turned their backs.At this time, the sailors who got out of the cabin saw clearly that a group of people had already lined up and pointed their black hand guns at them.

Some sailors immediately lost their brains, and only knew to stand with their hands raised, while some sailors who reacted immediately screamed strangely, turned around and ran into the cabin.These sailors didn't have any weapons in their hands, and some of them were disheveled. Even facing hand guns and short knives, they had nothing to resist.

"Take your muskets and fight those pirates. Just hold on. The people in the port will come to our rescue." Captain Ferreira yelled, holding a machete.There is no need to rush out of the cabin, as long as you persist in the cabin, the Dutch colonists here will sooner or later find out what is going on here.

Besides, although the Lookout was a merchant ship, they often turned into pirates at sea, and of course they had fought real pirates, so these sailors were not very afraid of fighting.It's just that the current terrain is too unfavorable, and everyone is blocked in the cabin.But this is both a bad thing and a good thing. As long as the sailors block the passage to the cabin, the pirates outside will still be unable to enter.

"Damn it. Why is my knife in your hand!"

"My God, my musket isn't even loaded."[

……

The sailors frantically searched for weapons, wanting to fight to the death with the "pirates" who boarded the ship.

But at this moment, a few Spanish words floated from outside the cabin: "weapon, drop, deck,, get down, surrender, set fire, burn to death!" Although the pronunciation is not the most standard.But the meaning is clear to everyone.The faces of Captain Ferreira and all the sailors suddenly changed.

The reason why Huang Ding and the others did not shoot when they saw the sailors running out of the cabin was because the target of the shooting was too obvious in the dark.Don't want to alarm the Dutch colonists in the port prematurely.

But there is a more important reason.They also hoped to capture everyone on board.Although when Huang Ding selected the raiders, he brought all the people who had practiced on Zheng Zhilong's ship, but at most these people had only learned a little bit, and they had never operated a Western brig, so Huang Ding hoped that these prisoners Help steer the boat.

Of course, if Captain Ferreira is really ignorant.Huang Ding had no choice but to order them to be destroyed, and he found a way to drive the Lookout back.

Captain Ferreira's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.Wooden boats at sea are most afraid of fire, especially pouring kerosene into the cabin on the deck, and then igniting it.That basically belongs to the massacre of solution.Because the crew and sailors in the cabin were either burned to death, or climbed onto the deck in a panic and were killed in other ways.

Captain Ferreira was about to cry, he had never been so wronged.There were four three-pounders, eight Francine one-pounders, and two six-pounders on board the Lookout.With this kind of firepower, he is confident that in a one-on-one battle of ships, he can sink the Fuchuan, which is twice the tonnage of Daming, and any type of Japanese ship.

In addition, there were more than 40 heavy muskets and more than [-] sailors and crew on board.And these sailors and crew are also brave fighters, and they are not afraid of hand-to-hand combat when they jump to help fight.

Besides, my Watchman is still safe, who would have thought that there would be pirates coming in and boarding my ship?What saddened Captain Ferreira in particular was that all the money and cargo he earned from his exile at sea for more than ten years were loaded on the Lookout.

But in this situation, he hardly made any resistance, and he was about to be disarmed by the pirates. How could this not make Captain Ferreira aggrieved?And look outside the cabin, those pirates are holding their pistols, and the people behind are holding short knives.But there are only more than 30 messy sailors around me. If I refuse, the sailors who are not ready for battle will be slaughtered by those fierce pirates immediately.

Let's face it!Now that the boat is running, I have to be mentally prepared to encounter today's situation. As long as I save my life, those money...don't think about money.

So Captain Ferreira shouted: "Don't burn the ship! We surrender!" Then he first threw the scimitar in his hand on the deck, and then pulled out the two pistols from his waist and threw them on the deck as well.And the first officer beside him immediately followed suit.

Captain Ferreira first walked out of the cabin with his hands raised, and then got down on the ground like a five-body prostration, while the first mate and sailors also came out in a file like their captain, and lay down on the deck one by one.Huang Ding's soldiers took them to the side one by one to guard them, and several soldiers armed with firecrackers and short knives entered the cabin area to search for fish that slipped through the net.

Captain Ferreira was brought in front of Huang Ding, and Huang Ding said one by one: "Listen to the order, sail, I, lead the way, don't listen, kill, the sea!" [

Captain Ferreira nodded quickly.At this time, it is better not to do something unwise to anger the pirates in front of you.But what makes Captain Ferreira strange is, why do those pirates look so young, and even their leader looks childish?

There was another movement from the flying rope, and the soldiers who surprised the other two ships also climbed onto the ship one by one.At this time, the raging fire on the two burning ships could no longer be controlled, but someone also found the bodies of the sailors killed by the Runing Army on the two ships.However, because the sound was quite noisy, no one else noticed the cries of those discoverers.

When Huang Ding saw that the surprise attacking soldiers were all boarding the boat, he immediately ordered: "Leave the boat!" (to be continued...)
