Chapter 1132 Drifting on the Sea

"Navy, there's a navy!" shouted Polly the parrot.

Zhang Tuohai looked back and saw that there were indeed two Royal Navy warships chasing towards him quickly.

Zhang Tuohai picked up the brass telescope and took a look, and found that the naval officer standing on the bow was Yin Lisabet's fiancé, the naval rising star Mountbatten.

"This kid is chasing fast enough." Zhang Tuohai snorted coldly when he saw Mountbatten.

At this time, Mountbatten also discovered Zhang Tuohai.

He immediately dispatched a warship to intercept the other two escaped slave ships, while he himself drove the ship straight towards Zhang Tuohai.

"You're still haunting me. Didn't you just kidnap your fiancée? Besides, your fiancée ran away on her own, I didn't kidnap her. You can only blame yourself for your incompetence."

Zhang Tuohai was muttering while turning the steering wheel.

"I'd like to reiterate that I'm not his fiancée and I don't like him at all." Yin Lishabai said in the crowd.

"Notice that I don't keep idle people on my ship, especially those slaves hanging on the rope ladder. Those who are willing to fight the navy can come up and distribute weapons. Those who are not willing will be thrown into the sea directly."

Zhang Tuohai said to the parrot Polly.

Polly the parrot flew down to deliver the order.

"Where are the singing and dancing girls?" asked Yin Lishabeth.

"That's the same. I've said before, we don't keep idle people. Whether it's operating the sails or moving the shells, there must be something to do, otherwise they will be thrown into the sea. You are helping in the kitchen, and they are no exception." Zhang Tuohai said.

"I see."

Yin Lisha nodded.

She knew that these slaves were lucky to survive. Although life on the ship was hard and tiring, it was much happier than the life they would experience if they were sold.

She also went downstairs to arrange the singing and dancing girls.

Zhang Tuohai whipped the Unsullied a few more times and gave orders. The Unsullied took action, pulling up the slaves and questioning them one by one. Those who were willing to fight with the navy were given weapons, while those who were trembling and afraid to speak were thrown directly into the sea.

However, there were too many people on board, and with a warship known for its speed following behind, the White Bird was about to be caught up.

"All artillery, load and get ready!"

Zhang Tuohai ordered.

On the gun deck, the crew began loading guns and propellant, preparing for firing.

At this time, Mountbatten's warship was less than a hundred meters away from Zhang Tuohai's White Bird.

Zhang Tuohai saw that the two pursuit guns on the bow of the enemy ship had begun to be loaded.

"At this distance, the mortar can't miss. If the rudder is destroyed, everything will be over. It looks like we can fight to the death."

"Lower the sails and drop the starboard anchor!"

Zhang Tuohai shouted loudly.

This order was very strange, because lowering the sails meant reducing speed, making the ship more likely to be caught up, while dropping the anchor meant stopping the ship directly, which meant seeking death.

However, the pirates and the Unsullied had been trained to obey orders and immediately carried out Zhang Tuohai's orders.

The huge sail was lowered and the anchor was thrown over the starboard side.

The huge anchor dragged along the seafloor and then caught on a protruding rock.

With the help of huge inertia, the ship was dragged .

The White Bird and the speedboat behind it changed from being one chasing and one fleeing to heading towards each other .

The White Bird actually completed a large drift on the sea.

Not only were the Royal Navy on the opposite side confused , but even the slaves and pirates on the ship were all confused.

Many slaves who lost their grip were thrown out by the sharp turn and hit the surrounding guardrails.

Only the well-trained Unsullied remained in formation.

Amid Mountbatten's stunned expression, Zhang Tuohai gave the order to open fire.

"All artillery, fire!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Rows of artillery roared.

The two ships were sailing almost closely together, and it was impossible to miss the target at such a close distance. The shells directly penetrated the armor of the other ship and shot into the gun bay.

Some shells penetrated two layers of armor and flew out of the ship, while others hit objects inside the ship and exploded inside the ship.

The gun deck of the opposing ship was ablaze with fire.

Zhang Tuohai rolled out a huge gunpowder barrel and threw it over, hitting the infantry phalanx on the opponent's deck directly, blowing the originally neat infantry phalanx upside down.

Then Zhang Tuohai took out the Devil's Roar, shot and killed an imperial infantry officer, and shouted: "Charge!"

The pirates roared, threw out their grappling hooks, and jumped onto the enemy ships.

The Unsullied formed neat formations and rushed onto the enemy's deck.

Some slaves were also inspired and rushed towards the enemy's deck with weapons in hand.

Zhang Tuohai glanced at the battlefield. He had gained the upper hand under the surprise attack of his side. Under the relentless pressure of the Unsullied, the lobster soldiers that were scattered by the explosion could no longer maintain their infantry phalanx. They could only fight on their own and struggle to hold on.

Lobster soldiers have always been based on strict discipline and tenacious style.

Without the support of the phalanx, the power of these lobster soldiers was greatly reduced, and they were defeated by the Unsullied who relied on the formation.

Victory is just a matter of time.

Zhang Tuohai nodded with satisfaction and turned to his deck.

He found several slaves huddled in a corner with scimitars in their hands, not daring to take any action.

Zhang Tuohai felt very angry and walked over.

"Why don't you come up?"

"Why should we fight to the death? We are slaves and we just need to work hard. Fighting to the death is the soldiers' job, not our business!" a leading slave shouted.

"Don't force us, otherwise, we will kill you!" a slave said tremblingly, the scimitar in his hand shaking constantly.

"Using my knife against me?" Zhang Tuohai sneered, pointed the Devil's Roar in his hand at several slaves, and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang!

After a series of gunshots, the slaves hiding in the corner were all executed by Zhang Tuohai.

Just as Zhang Tuohai was about to turn around, he suddenly heard a gust of wind coming from behind.

Zhang Tuohai turned around suddenly and avoided the sneak attack.

He looked up and found that it was Mountbatten who had jumped onto his boat at some point, holding a rapier in his hand.

"Damned pirate, I will hang your head on the gate of Orleans!"

The rapier in Mountbatten's hand stabbed towards Zhang Tuohai's chest.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out.

Mountbatten was overjoyed, and a huge bloody hole appeared in his chest.
