Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 121
The horse’s hoofs broke through the mountain road and traveled through the jungle along the two heavy wheel prints. At this time, it was already dawn. Fifteen soldiers in a squadron were all carrying long spears and machetes hanging around their waists, and they were menacing.
They followed the rut without stopping, and the speed was inexplicably faster than the carriage, chasing along the winding coastal road.
Time came around eight in the morning. Gordon was standing on the hillside, looking at the Jackdaw below, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Let’s go quickly, it’s safe to get on the boat.”
The carriage stopped on the hills on the coast, and Mickey cut the ropes that bound the horses with kindness.
Two small boats rowed over from the coast, ready to pick up everyone on board, and even could see Alan laughing and waving.
But at this moment, Serena came over and took Gordon’s hand.
“Captain Gordon, someone is chasing after him.”
Gordon looked at her serious expression, it didn’t seem like he was joking.
The vibration under their feet was getting closer and closer. This kind of vibration was hidden in the carriage they were riding in and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. It was not until Serena reminded him that Gordon fully realized what it was. .
“A cavalry unit formed!”
Gordon looked at the Jackdaw. He absolutely couldn’t allow the Jackdaw to be exposed to the sight of the Spanish government. Absolutely, no.
“Everyone is ready to hide, we have to kill these cavalrymen who are following, Mitch, tell Allen to hurry back to the ship and prepare the artillery!”
The others had already begun to understand what was going on, and they all started to act. Jon and the two sailors began to pull off the ropes from the carriage and tied them to the trees on both sides of the road. With the help of the shadows of the trees, it was an excellent trip line.
Mickey ran down the coast, then shouted at Alan, and then waved his finger to the back. The long-term tacit understanding made the latter understand in an instant, and the boat, which was not far from the ship, quickly turned his head under the greeting and re-started. Back on the Jackdaw.
The vibration of the horse’s hooves was getting closer and closer. The sailors prepared their muskets and hid behind books or in the grass. Gordon directly found a big tree and climbed up, staring vigilantly at the position of the carriage ahead.
kick, kick, kick…
The cavalry rushed forward and quickly approached the position where the carriage stopped. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the suggested trap to work.
The three leading cavalrymen rushed directly to the position of the tripping rope, and then fell to the ground with the neighing of the horses and the screams of the soldiers.
“Save me, save me…”
The commander of the cavalry squadron at the forefront died directly under his mount. The horse tumbled and crushed his chest. The only surviving soldier slammed his back against a tree trunk and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“There is an ambush, everyone is hiding!”
The surviving adjutant shouted loudly, and the following soldiers began to stop their horses, and then each found a place to hide.
There were still the screams of wounded soldiers on the entire field. The cavalry unit wanted to find the enemy’s hidden location, and Gordon was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for a fatal blow.
Boom! Boom boom boom!
The row of shells from the Jackdaw poured directly towards this position. The two carriages were the best mark. A row of sixteen artillery pieces slammed into the ground, stirring up a large area of dust, and even piercing through countless trees.
“Hi…”
The horses began to be frightened and scurried wildly, and the blow of the artillery broke the will of the cavalry to fight.
The fallen trees, the trampling of horses’ hooves, the direct hit of artillery and the loud roar.
Three of the fifteen cavalry fell to the ground at the very beginning, and another six fell directly in this shelling.
The smoke and roars from the sky, even mixed with screams and roars of horses, this is the chance Gordon has been waiting for for a long time.
“superior!”
He roared loudly, and then took the lead in rushing into the dust in the sky, his eagle eyes opened, and he locked the enemy’s position.
Boom!
Two crisp gunshots took away a fresh life again.
“Kill them, come on!”
The sailors also shouted loudly, and then gathered up their courage and rushed up. They didn’t know which tree or soil the bullets landed on, but it really broke the enemy’s will to fight, didn’t it?
The cavalry had experienced a one-sided massacre. The order above was to chase a group of prisoners who escaped from the prison, not to let them accept the bombardment of cannons. The vitality of the enemy is not ordinary criminals at all. This is war, a war with fundamentally asymmetrical forces.
In the end, the only surviving lieutenant dropped all his weapons and surrendered.
“Don’t, don’t kill me… Please.”
The adjutant lowered his head, his voice was trembling, his face was covered in blood, and a hole had been opened on his forehead.
He lowered his head and raised his hands high, indicating that he did not have any weapons and did not pose a threat.
“What should I do? Captain.”
To be honest, Gordon was really unbearable. He couldn’t tell why, but it might be the pity and conscience that exist in human nature.
Even though he knew that the team in front of him was here to kill him, he closed his eyes unconsciously at the moment when he shot.
boom!
The soldier fell down in response, and a hole was opened in his forehead.
“Captain, are you all right?”
Mitch saw something wrong with his expression, Gordon finally took a deep breath and shook his head.
“Everyone get on the boat, get out of here quickly.”
This location is too close to Lisbon. He is not sure if anyone else has seen it on the ship~www.mtlnovel.com~ and is not sure if there are any patrolling navies around. The only thing they can do is to leave this place of right and wrong and go back again. Only when you go to the Caribbean Sea, a place of lawlessness, can you feel true freedom.
Twenty minutes later, everyone boarded the Jackdaw, leaving a messy battlefield, and I don’t know when someone will find out.
“Alan, set sail immediately, the goal is the port of La Guaira.”
The first thing Gordon said when he got on the boat was an order to go quickly.
“Knowing the captain, all sailors are ready to set sail…”
After this battle that was not considered a battle, Gordon still wanted to lie down and take a good night’s sleep. He didn’t close his eyes all night. At this time, he was already yawning, but there is still one problem that has not been solved, and that is Celine. Na.
There are rough men on the boat, where do you let a girl Serena live? There seems to be something wrong with the mapping room. There are some important utensils for navigation in it, and the captain’s room is even more impossible. Where can I sleep by myself?
Serena is a beautiful woman. In her own words, she is a beautiful witch. Even when she is in prison, she will keep her clean. After getting on the boat, she simply washes up, which is even more touching.
“We are going to the Caribbean Sea. When will you disembark? We can find a port for you to drop off.”
When Gordon said this, he was greeted by Serena’s pitiful expression, and then asked in a low voice, “Don’t you want me?”
“Hey, did you do something wrong? We haven’t known each other for a night. If it’s been less than six hours since you officially introduced your name!”
“Okay Captain Gordon, I just want to see El Dorado.”
Serena smiled and looked very seductive.
