Chapter 1127 Breaking Out of the Blockade
"Hey, I'm your crew member now anyway. Isn't it the captain's job to help the crew solve some minor problems?"
The girl said.
"I think you have some misunderstanding about the captain." Zhang Tuohai looked back at the Royal Navy officer holding the rapier.
"But I really don't like him. Remember, you owe me two conditions."
Zhang Tuohai pulled out the Devil's Roar and pulled the trigger at the Royal Navy officer.
Bang!
Two bullets shot out and shot towards the Royal Navy officer.
In fact, with Zhang Tuohai's marksmanship, he would not shoot off target.
But the Royal Navy officer happened to take half a step forward at this moment, accidentally stepped on a fish, and fell on his back.
Two bullets grazed the Royal Navy officer's face.
Then the officer fell into the pile of fish, and it was unclear whether it was fortunate or unfortunate.
Zhang Tuohai wanted to shoot again, but the footsteps around him were getting closer and closer. Fearing that he was surrounded, Zhang Tuohai gave up shooting and dragged the girl into the slums. At the same time, he piled up fish at the several intersections they had just entered to hinder the pace of the pursuers behind him.
After entering the slums, Zhang Tuohai took the girl through alley after alley.
Although he had never been to this alley, he could still determine the direction of the port with his strong sense of direction.
Along the way, Zhang Tuohai turned into the god of war in the furniture city, pulling the girl along the way, climbing walls and climbing roofs, easily avoiding the pursuit and blockade of several pursuers, and successfully rushed to the harbor area.
Orleans' city defense system is still very strong.
At least they are more organized than the defenders of Cheese City.
As soon as the gunshots were heard in the rich area, the defenders of the port area were dispatched. They did not rush to the rich area rashly, but led their troops to clear the crowds staying on the streets of the port area and announced that the port area was under martial law. Everyone had to enter the room, no matter it was a tavern, hotel or red house.
Anyone still on the street at this time would be treated as a pirate and hanged on the cliff.
Therefore, when Zhang Tuohai and the girl rushed to the vicinity of the dock, the entire area had been under martial law, and the streets were full of lobster soldiers on high alert.
They could not make their way to the ship through the chaotic crowd.
"What should we do? Should we find a house to hide in? I have a small house in the harbor area where I usually store some things. Can we hide there?"
The girl said.
"Do you think your father doesn't know about those places and won't send people to search them?" Zhang Tuohai rolled his eyes at the girl.
"Isn't it said that the most dangerous place is the safest place? What if they think we are not stupid enough to hide there and give up the search?"
The girl said.
"I will not rely on the mistakes of others to determine my fate."
Zhang Tuohai shook his head decisively.
He didn't say the most important thing. Once the governor took the initiative and started a city-wide search, all the ships in the port would definitely be searched, and by then the White Bird would definitely be found to have problems.
If he lost the White Bird, he would lose his foundation. Does that mean he has to steal another ship?
So, no matter what, he had to return to the White Bird and escape safely.
"I'm about to take action. What you are about to see are real pirates. It's up to you to decide whether you want to follow."
After Zhang Tuohai finished speaking, he clenched his hands and materialized a gunpowder barrel.
Then, as the girl looked on in horror, the barrel of gunpowder was thrown into the crowd of soldiers on the street.
Boom!
With a huge explosion, the group of soldiers were blown to the ground, with body parts scattered everywhere. Some people near the edge were wailing while covering their wounds.
Zhang Tuohai rolled another gunpowder barrel and threw it out, then without even looking at the result, he went straight into the alley next to him.
"Aren't you going to escape from here?"
The girl followed behind and asked.
"Of course, once the explosion goes off, the other defenders will know that we are under attack and will certainly come to outflank us. If I flee from here, I will run into more defenders. So, I have to do the opposite and take advantage of the gap when they are mobilizing their forces to get through and break through the defense zone."
Zhang Tuohai said as he ran.
“What if they don’t transfer?”
The girl asked.
"That would be even better. If the order they received was to hold their position and not move, I could just blow up the position and rush over. I wouldn't have to worry about the surrounding defenders outflanking the moving troops. If that were the case, I would be even happier."
As Zhang Tuohai spoke, he rubbed a bottle of rum and took a few sips to give himself a buff state.
After drinking the rum, Zhang Tuohai's attack, defense and recovery speed were all improved.
The two men walked around several streets and saw a small group of guards guarding an intersection.
Zhang Tuohai rolled up a gunpowder barrel in the alley and threw it over, then turned around and ran away again.
He could clearly hear the sound of leather boots around him.
After several attempts by Zhang Tuohai, several teams of guards on duty suffered heavy losses. The garrison in the port area became seriously insufficient. Coupled with frequent transfers, the originally tight defense line was torn into several huge gaps.
Zhang Tuohai saw that the pursuers behind him were almost here, so he didn't waste any more time with the defenders. He found an opportunity to break away, broke through the defense of the port defenders, and rushed into the dock area.
Zhang Tuohai didn't even board the ship directly from the pier. Instead, he found a bay to jump into the water, swam to the side of the White Bird, and climbed up the rope ladder.
"Welcome back to your loyal White Bird, Captain." The parrot Polly flew in front of Zhang Tuohai and said.
"Excuse me, who is this beautiful lady? Is she the new captain's wife ?" asked Polly the parrot.
Zhang Tuohai turned around and found that the girl had actually followed him, but now she looked a little disheveled. Her carefully styled hair was now disheveled, and her beautiful white dress was now wet and wrapped around her body, making her look a little disheveled.
"You really caught up."
Zhang Tuohai looked at the girl in disbelief.
"That's right. I, Yin Lisha, always keep my word. If I say I want to be a pirate, I must be a pirate!"
The girl raised her neck, proud as a peacock.
"Weigh anchor and set sail immediately. By the way, how many crew members are there on board?"
Zhang Tuohai asked .
"Most of the crew members stayed on the boat. Two of them went off to drink and haven't returned yet," said Polly the parrot.
"Get off the ship and drink? I remember asking the first mate to buy some wine on board. Besides, I reminded them when I left that the ship could set sail at any time and would never stop. In that case, let them drink to their heart's content in the port. Let's go."
"yes!"
The White Bird raised its sails and headed out of the port.
