Movie World I Am A King
Chapter 1313 Night Attack on Port Royal
The night gradually deepened, and the entire Port Royal changed from the hustle and bustle of the day to quietness.
At this moment, a sudden gust of wind caused all the keen-minded people in Port Royal to feel an indescribable oppression, as if something terrible was about to come.
In the past, the wild dogs and wild cats who were supposed to dominate the night in Port Royal seemed to feel that a catastrophe was imminent. They clamped their tails, found a place where they felt safe, and hid...
Under the cover of night, a black three-masted sailing ship slowly approached the port area of Port Royal... Against the background of the dark night, the statue of an angel holding pigeons on the bow of the ship looked a bit hideous— —It is none other than the Ghost Thief Ship, the Black Pearl.
"Fire—!"
Following an order from the ship, the thirty-two sixteen-pounder cannons on the Black Pearl fired their artillery fire at the port and the barracks opposite the port at the same time...
I have to say that Port Royal is indeed an excellent port. In the past, the port like a crab claw could resist the attacks of many pirates—however, today's night is so gloomy that even the stars in the night sky are covered by dark clouds. covered.
Under such circumstances, the Black Pearl took advantage of the cover of its black sail and black ship to sneak into the port without anyone noticing... The advantage turned into a disadvantage in an instant.
The Black Pearl is docked in the center of the port in such a majestic way, and none of the artillery on both sides is idle...
Rumbling—the sound of cannons became one piece in an instant.
The sudden artillery attack blinded the British army in the entire port...
For a moment, they didn't know how to fight back... they just ran around like headless chickens.
"Don't panic..." Brigadier General Norrington, wearing only a pair of trousers and a samara upper body, appeared at the head of the city, his voice gave the panicked soldiers some clues, "Go back to your gun positions Go up...to fight back!"
Brigadier General Norrington, who was holding a commanding sword in his hand, looked annoyed at this moment. He didn't know why he had a relationship with a man... Moreover, he didn't come out to patrol like before because of a man... That gave the pirates a chance.
But—letting him abandon Will, he couldn't do it... because he admitted that he had fallen in love with that lovely child... Although this kind of love would not be blessed by the world, so what?
Although he is a Christian, but——as an admiral who has fought at sea all year round, what he fears is the impermanent sea, not the God he has never seen.
Looking back, find a reason to recruit Wilt into the Royal Navy, and then—keep him by your side as your personal soldier...From then on, they can be together forever...
Thinking of this, Commodore Norrington couldn't help but smile knowingly, "Now—everyone, shoot me the artillery aimed at that pirate ship..."
In the dark night, it is really difficult to determine the position of the Black Pearl, but——the flash of light from the artillery gave the artillerymen some information about the target location, and the soldiers on the wall obeyed Brigadier General Norrington Orders were issued, and the positions of the coastal defense guns were adjusted one after another.
However, the flickering artillery light is too short, even the best gunners can hardly hit the opponent with such a target... After a few shots, the shells of the coastal defense artillery hit the sea... …
Not only that, they also leaked their positions because of firing. The artillery on the side of the Black Pearl facing them began to adjust their angles, and shells slammed over like a torrential rain. The coastal defense artillery was suppressed and could not fire.
"These damned pirates..." Brigadier General Norrington, who was hiding behind the city wall, spat viciously and cursed.
However, no matter how much he cursed, it was useless... Cursing cannot sink the Black Pearl.
After suppressing the firepower of the coastal defense guns—more than a dozen small boats were released from the Black Pearl—the pirates began to land on the beach.
And on the other side, in the Governor's Palace—
"Honey, hurry up, get up, the pirates are coming..." Governor Swan in pajamas eagerly patted his daughter's bedroom, that's right - his son-in-law is the captain of the legendary invincible steel giant, But so what? Without a boat, a captain might be treated like a meat ticket...
"Don't worry, Dad..." Elizabeth, who was wearing a thick nightgown, yawned, opened the door of her house slightly, and handed a folded flag to her father. "Unfold this and hang it at the gate... No one dares to come in..."
"What... what is this??" Governor Swan took the flag from his daughter's hand in a daze. Just when he was about to ask what it was and why no one dared to come in when it was hung at the door, he My daughter has closed the bedroom door tightly again...
"Well, I hope this thing works!" Governor Swan, who was at a loss, called to his butler. "Angus...quick, take a long flagpole..."
"Okay, my lord!" As a well-trained British housekeeper, Angus knows all the things in the house. He understands that there is no long flagpole in the house, but—a good housekeeper is You must never say the word "I can't do it" to your master, it means that the housekeeper has neglected his duty, and sometimes adapting to the situation is also a good quality of the housekeeper.
After a while, Governor Swan looked at the long metal rod handed to him by his steward and asked speechlessly: "I remember—this thing seems to be the lance in my collection of knight armor..."
"That's right, my lord—this is the only thing in the house that meets your requirements..." Angus said neither humble nor overbearing.
"Okay, just ride a gun, it's better than nothing..." Governor Swan sighed, and then called his butler to help him put the flag in his hand on the lance... …
When this work was completed, Governor Swan discovered what the flag was——
A Jolly Roger with a funny avatar...
"Is this thing useful??" Governor Swan asked a little unconfidently.
"I think, you need to ask your son-in-law, Mr. Ye Zhou..." Angus is also a little unclear. After all, he is the 3.2 steward of the Governor's Mansion. What happened on the sea is a bit strange to him It's too far away.
"Let's fight!" Governor Swan also realized his courage as an official in charge at this time, "Angus, put this flag at the door..."
"As you wish, my lord!" Angus took the flag from his master, opened the door, and walked out...
"I hope it works well..." Governor Swan murmured through the glass window, looking at his butler who was erecting a flag at the iron gate of the courtyard.
To be honest, he really doesn't have much confidence... However, in this situation, rushing out is not much better than waiting to die here, and he can't abandon his daughter and escape alone... So, just If I can take a gamble with my daughter, I bet that those pirates will retreat obediently after seeing the pirate flag on my son-in-law's ship.
