Chapter 63 The fleet is dispatched!
In less than half an hour, at least more than a thousand Western pirates were buried on the death slope and the pier that turned into a beach, not to mention the 20 armed fast boats and a lot of sangs that were stranded on the edge of the beach and made the gunfire blown up into rags.
Captain Morley, whose right hand was neatly cut off by shrapnel from his wrist, was finally pulled away from the slope and the beach by his loyal men. He hid in the mud that stirred the salty sea and stared at the slope full of corpse fragments.
"My God, what the hell is going on? This is not a fucking pirate's lair. It's simply a military fortress that can't be conquered!" Captain Morley's mouth trembled like the fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and his eyes were so desperate and sad that he saw an old farmer who saw the seedlings in the ground washed away by the flood. His face covered in mud made tears rush out of two ravines.
He turned around helplessly, hoping that his companions who were still on the ship would come to rescue, but he only saw that the fast boats that could still move were like a little hen who found a weasel rushing into the shack. He turned his head in panic and fled in a hurry, afraid that the gunfire on the fort would come to his head.
"What's going on?! What the hell is going on? Who can tell me?" James, a wig, stood on a fast boat. His expression was so cold that it could drip rain, and the chill on his body was enough to freeze his subordinates around him.
--------------------
He lost 500 loyal and brave men and ten fast boats. Next to him, Liu Qiqiao was also very blue. There were only three of his five fast boats left, and one was smashed through the bottom of the ship by a heavy shell, which didn't work.
"It seems that we really underestimate each other. Their position is too high. The cannon on our fast speed ship can't hit it at all." A pirate leader wiped the sweat on his forehead and said carefully. In addition, the terrain here is so suitable for defense that our people can't break through those damn defense lines at all.
"If the fort is 30 meters lower, even 20 meters, we can completely rely on the superior artillery fire, just like destroying the dock position, to let them know it is powerful." A pirate leader wiped the blood on his forehead with an angry face. The gauze on his head and the plaster on his face dressed him up more than that in India. But now without the help of heavy firearms, we can't attack this fortress at all. James, we should let the warships try. With the height of the warships and the powerful heavy artillery, we can deal with these insurmountable obstacles for our fast ships and small guns. There must be greater hope than us. Gong."
James frowned, carefully observed the terrain here, looked at the solid barricade standing high at the end of the slope of the dock, made of solid stones, and spit out thick phlegm with hatred: "These damn Orientals!"
"We have lost nearly 3,000 manpower, and we can't continue to attack so strongly. Otherwise, if our strength is consumed too much, there will be no benefit." Next to him, a middle-aged man with silver hair, dressed in clean and neat clothes, and a beautiful parrot standing on his shoulder said lightly.
He still held a few nuts in his hand and carefully handed them to the parrot's mouth, allowing it to peck in his palm. After feeding, Shi Shiran took out a silk handkerchief sprinkled with perfume and wiped his hands. As he spoke, he suppressed all the noises, as if he was the master here.
"Mr. Owen, what do you mean..." A pirate leader looked at the middle-aged man who seemed to be more gentlemen than pirates, and his eyes were full of awe. This is Owen, the frightening pirate giant in the Indian Ocean.
There was a faint smile on Owen's lips: "James, tell the Spanish fleet commander that it's time for the warship to be dispatched."
"I think if we attack again, we may be able to rush up." A pirate leader whispered, "If the Spaniards get the victory, they will definitely find all kinds of reasons to refuse to pay the reward."
"No, no, no, dear Captain Philly, please don't think so. The stronger we are, the less likely he is to break the original agreement. If our strength is weakened too much, then, let alone refuse to pay the reward, I'm afraid you and I will have to stay on the gallows, understand?" The white-headed Owen still looked calm, but his vicious eyes did see through Colonel Alfonso's intention.
"Yes, let the warships attack. Now, we have figured out their strength. Their last support is the defense line and fort on the slope. As long as we rely on the strong hull of the warship and those heavy guns, we can definitely destroy these damn obstacles." Liu Qiqiao's palms hit one piece fiercely, and his eyes were full of cruelty and madness. In any case, the island must be taken down, otherwise, the lives and ships of his own hands will be lost in vain. The calculating Liu Qiqiao is absolutely unwilling to do such a loss-making business.
--------------------
"Please fulfill your promise, Colonel Alfonso. We have figured out all the fire points of the pirates on the island, but with our fast ships and cannons, there is no way to destroy those strong positions and fortresses beyond our shooting angle." The wig James stood in front of Alfonso, and his green pupils flashed.
"That is to say, did you still fail in this attack?" Alfonso put down the teacup in his hand, raised his handsome face and looked at the pirate leader full of blood and rotten smell in front of him.
"Well, without the help of warships, no one can pass through the slope of the pier covered by powerful firepower." James shrugged his shoulders. You know, in this attack, we lost three excellent allies and more than a thousand brave men. We paid such a huge price. It's time for those damn oriental pirates to pay a heavy price. The madness and cruelty in his eyes made Alfonso frown slightly.
Alfonso had long known that these pirates were not so easy to control, and now James' aggressive words made him feel particularly unhappy, but at this time, he could only agree to James's request.
However, Colonel Alfonso is not a good person. He turned his eyes and gently turned his mouth: "I agree with your suggestion. Now, in the name of the fleet commander, I order, in addition to leaving the necessary Clippers to defend the periphery to prevent those Qing pirates from escaping, All warships are concentrated! Get ready to enter the gorge."
Hearing this order, James' face darkened: "Is it not enough to destroy the obstacles set up by those damn Chinese pirates by the powerful warships of the Kingdom of Spain?"
"Captain James, please pay attention to your tone. You know, if our Spanish royal Luzon fleet could eliminate these Chinese pirates alone, we would not have issued a reward at the beginning." Colonel Alfonso said it so seriously. In addition, it was agreed at the beginning that I was the commander of this fleet. Do you have any objection to my order?
Originally, the gloomy Spanish officers couldn't help smiling. Yes, don't forget that Alfonso is the commander of this miscellaneous fleet, and he has the right to command the fleet.
"Well, dear colonel, we follow your orders." James wanted to pull out the tomahawk behind his waist, cut off the head of the annoying Spanish colonel, and make his beautiful blonde hair into a brand-new wig. However, for those rewards, now he can only put up with it for a while.
