Chapter 147 Revenge
It is said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but those who can really endure it for ten years before taking revenge are basically comparable to those of the Ninja Turtle.
Zhao Weiji is a vengeful person. Of course he can tolerate it in order to avenge him, but he really can't do it for him to endure it for ten years. His favorite thing is undoubtedly an instant slap in the face.
So at this time, when he returned to the Black Pearl, he entered a state of revenge.
And it was not just him, but all the crew members on the ship were also in such a state of mind before. It was time for everyone to take revenge and that was extremely high.
However, the other party who intercepted did not know that they had offended an object that they could not afford, and that object was not fatal when it was weak.
At this time, the other party had already replaced the cannons and drove the invincible battleship, while they were still looking for people, books and gold in the bait merchant ship that could not be found.
When the captain here received a reward from the crew that something strange was coming towards them, he didn't care too much. Although the man returned to the deck, his heart was floating on the illusory collection of books and gold.
But his heart soon returned to his eyes, because when he returned to the deck, he was greeted not by the sea breeze and the sun, but by the whistling shells.
Oh, yes. After a few loud noises, the flagship on which the commander-in-chief of the fleet immediately began to sink, and the speed was so fast that the captain, who was the commander-in-chief, could not understand what was going on.
At this time, the other sailors who were originally staying on the merchant ship heard the loud explosion and immediately left the merchant ship's cabin and came to the deck.
When they arrived on the deck, they saw their flagship slowly sinking with the rolling smoke, and opposite the flagship was a monster-like ship.
The ship had a metal shell, shining brightly under the sunlight. There were many windows on both sides of the hull, and there were black tubes in it, and there were still smoke from the mouth of the tubes.
"Devil ship, it's really a devil ship!!!!" Suddenly, a crew member roared loudly as if he was crazy.
With this roar, more and more people began to associate the image of the ship in front of them with the image of the legendary devil ship.
Although some people mistakenly thought the merchant ships had become devil ships when they used mortars to bombard enemy ships, they were easily seen through later because the legendary devil ship was an invincible existence, and the ships it attacked undoubtedly survived.
Even if two ships attacked them together, if they were really a devil ship, they shouldn't just fire two guns and then escape.
But the monster-like ship in front of them at this moment is exactly in line with the legendary description of the devil ship.
The hull is wrapped in metal, there are chimneys with thick smoke on the ship, and it can instantly sink enemy ships with magic. All of this is in line with the legendary description of the devil ship.
"Don't panic, don't panic, so what about the devil ship? We have many ships. The legendary devil ship has never had a story about fighting more than two ships at once, so we have a chance to defeat it."
Before the flagship was about to sink, the fleet commander left the flagship and ran to another ship. After getting on the ship, he found that all the sailors on the ship were frightened by the appearance of the legendary devil ship.
The commander understood that such soldiers could not continue fighting, so he immediately made a speech to stabilize the morale of the army.
It has to be said that his speech had a good effect. After listening to his speech, the crew began to stabilize one after another. Because the commander grasped a feature of the legend of the Devil Ship, that is, it never defeated more than two pirate ships at the same time.
However, the reason why the legendary Devil Ship never defeated more than two pirate ships at the same time is because the pirates did not give Zhao Weiji this opportunity.
Basically, pirates acted alone on a single ship, and few robbed them in groups. The only time they defeated more than two pirate ships at the same time was the same time they faced the Viking Pirates, but the pirates who were basically defeated in that time should have died, so the legend of the Black Pearl was not added like that.
Everyone on Zhao Weiji's side knew that they could easily abuse the entire fleet on the opposite side, but the entire fleet on the opposite side did not know about this.
At this moment, all of them rekindled their fighting spirit because of a commander's words, vowing to end the myth of the devil ship here.
So at this moment, the enemy fleet began to arrange combat formations again, hoping to quickly get close to the Black Pearl and attempt to board the ship to attack.
When he saw that the opposite side was not panicked because of the instant sinking of a ship on his side, but instead attempting to counterattack, Zhao Weiji smiled, and he was very happy.
Because he came back to take revenge, he was not prepared to simply sink a ship. He hoped to sink all the ships that had intercepted him.
If the other party escapes, his wish may not be realized, but now the other party has gathered again to attack, so that he may sink all the ships on the other side.
And at this time, not only was he smiling happily, but all the Black Pearl crew laughed happily. They were in the same mood as Zhao Weiji, that is, to take revenge, they had to be thorough.
But although they laughed happily and loudly, the scholars on the boat were completely unsure of the current situation.
In their opinion, they had escaped the pursuit at that time, so they should have retreated. Why did they turn around and continue to trouble these enemies after changing to another ship?
After experiencing the battle in the desert, these scholars also realized why they were attacked, and they also understood why they were intercepted after going to sea.
Although scholars have been in the temple for many years, they are not fools who turn a blind eye to things outside the window. They know the current situation of the entire empire, and they also know that the maritime power of hostile forces cannot be underestimated.
But they didn't know why Zhao Weiji still had the courage to turn around and come back.
Just as all the scholars were still wondering, one of them suddenly spoke because this person was fortunate to see how the Black Pearl sunk the other party's flagship.
"Who can see clearly? How did we sink the other side's ship just now? What kind of weapon is that kind of weapon?"
"Weapons? Isn't it magic? This ship seems to be very similar to the devil ship described in the legend. Don't the devil ships in the legend attack pirates with magic?" When the man asked the question just now, his objections quickly followed one after another.
"Magic? You're stupid when you read. I agree with Apudura's point of view, it's a weapon, a very powerful weapon."
After hearing someone agreeing with his point of view, the man named Apudulla just said happily: "Ibn can understand it. Those who do translation and literary research only know nothing."
It turns out that these two scholars, Apudula and Ibn, are people who are engaged in natural science research similar to later generations, while the person who objected to the objection was a magical translation sent by the official, mainly studying the humanities.
At this time, facing such a situation, all the people who studied natural sciences naturally became excited, because since they entered this ship, too many novel things have been presented to them, and many of them are beyond their understanding.
This made these scholars who studied natural sciences who volunteered to study in Xinhua City and became more and more determined to believe that their choice was not wrong.
At this time, they sucked the people and started to study the Black Pearl, completely ignoring the fact that the outside world was still fighting.
The humanities scholars who were completely unable to talk had to ignore the science madmen and threw their eyes back on the ocean outside the cabin.
Just as they looked back, they suddenly felt a distance of vibration, just the same as before the local ship wrecked, and the vibration was even stronger.
It turned out that the Black Pearl fired again, and this time the artillery on both sides of the ship opened fire at the same time.
The reason why the artillery on both sides was used at the same time was that after the other party reorganized the formation, they sent two ships to try to attack the Black Pearl.
These two ships were the two ships that had attacked merchant ships before but had the merchant ships ran away.
When the two ships drove out of each other's fleet, they were surprised to find that the Black Pearl had no movement at all, did not move forward or retreat, but just drifted with the flow. The most hateful thing was that even the smoke from the chimney was gone, and the sails on the mast were closed.
Of course, the enemy at this time would not simply think that the Black Pearl had surrendered. They believed that the Black Pearl's inaction was a completely insult and ridicule to them.
So the two ships drove over without thinking and formed a double attack again. However, at this time, the Black Pearl was not a small boat like a merchant ship with only one mortar.
The two sides of the Black Pearl were covered with muzzles, and two enemy ships actually surrounded the two sides of the Black Pearl, which basically hit the muzzle.
So when the encirclement of the two ships was formed, Zhao Weiji decisively ordered the artillery to be fired.
With a violent shelling sound, the two warships that were already damaged by the previous mortar attack were completely knocked into honeycomb coal at this time.
The crew members who were fortunate to escape the shelling in the bottom cabin were soon swallowed up by the water pouring in. The crew members who tried to escape through the boat on the deck also found that even the escaped boat was destroyed at the same time.
So the two ships sank in the stunned silence of the crew of other enemy ships, and all the crews on the ship were scattered on the sea, allowing the waves to slap.
"Captain, what should I do? Can we still fight?" A crew member who reacted asked his ship.
But he did not wait for the captain's positive answer, because at this time the captain's mouth could no longer be closed.
