Chapter 6, Luring and Capturing

Subsequently, the majority of the pirates chose to stay and fight against the British, while only Chen San and a few others opted to leave

With a single "bang," a bullet hole appeared in Lieutenant Brown's forehead, and he collapsed onto the deck

The British naval officers and sailors aboard the HMS Coventry were completely unprepared, their greed for gold having been stirred. By the time they realized that the fierce pirates were attacking, it was already too late

A few minutes later, the British Navy's cruiser "Coventry" arrived, anchoring approximately fifty meters away from the "Black Pearl." This is a sixth-class warship, measuring 30 meters in length and displacing over 400 tons, equipped with a total of 24 cannons. At this moment, all the cannons on the starboard side are aimed at the "Black Pearl," and if there is any danger, they will sink the "Black Pearl" at the first opportunity

At this moment, Captain Big Beard continued, "Your Excellency, I can offer you fifty pounds of gold! This ship is an armed merchant vessel transporting gold for Governor Antonio Pedro of the Spanish Governorate of Luzon. If you assist me, the Governor will surely reward you handsomely!"

A British warship is about to arrive here soon, and we need your cooperation...! Long Yu revealed the entire plan to Captain Big Beard. Whether we can lure the British onto the ship largely depends on whether Captain Big Beard will cooperate, which directly relates to the success or failure of this plan

"Sir, why do you want to hurt me?" the bearded captain said angrily. He simply could not understand why, just after they had reached an agreement, Long Yufei had turned against them.

"Sir, where is the gold in hetushu.com? We need to see the gold first before we can rescue you!" Lieutenant Brown said

At this moment, the pirates had already jumped onto the cruiser "Coventry" and launched an attack

"Sir, how may I assist you? Please feel free to give your orders, and I will do my utmost to cooperate!" Captain Big Beard said hastily

Captain Big Beard was taken aback and quickly expressed his willingness to cooperate. Initially, he had considered using the British to eliminate these pirates, but Long Yufei's prior warning made him hesitant to take the risk

Li Hu stepped forward, and before Captain Big Beard could react, a cut slashed across his arm. Instantly, blood gushed from Captain Big Beard's arm. He himself let out a sound akin to that of a slaughtered pig

Oh God! What is happening! Lieutenant Brown was stunned; he was just about to draw his gun to retaliate when Long Yufei opened fire

The pirates were somewhat hesitant, especially after Chen San openly stood up in opposition, leaving them even more uncertain about what choice to make

At this moment, Luo Sangu, who was hiding in the cabin, issued the command to take action. A large number of pirates rushed out from the cabin, each wielding a gleaming steel knife, and within a few steps, they charged onto the deck, heading towards the cruiser "Coventry".

Despite Captain Big Beard's deep resentment and desire to eliminate this pretty boy, he felt it was not the right moment to say much

"Alright, Captain, the British are coming. Prepare yourself! Don't try any tricks! I will be inside the cabin with a gun pointed at you. If you dare to pull any stunts, I assure you, I will blow your brains out with a single shot!" Long Yufei warned.

"Captain, as long as you help us with one task, I will let you go! I swear by the name of God! If we succeed, you will certainly be safe! Of course, if you refuse, then I will have no choice; my companions are planning to throw you into the sea to feed the fish!" Long Yufei threatened. Beside him, Li Hu also displayed a fierce expression at the right moment, instilling fear in the bearded captain.

"Damn it! This is a trap! Accursed Spaniards, how dare you collude with those damned pirates to attack the Royal Navy of the British Empire? This is a provocation against the British Empire, and the British Empire will not let you go unpunished!" Captain Adam of the cruiser 'Coventry' shouted.

"Captain, I apologize, but I am doing this to increase the chances of success. Don't you think you look more like someone who has encountered pirates right now?" Long Yufei said somewhat innocently

Captain, please bear with me!" Long Yufei said, then turned to Li Hu and said, "Huzi, give him a stab!

"Hello! Spaniards, what is happening over there?" shouted a British officer on the deck of the 'Coventry'.

Captain Big Beard stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at Long Feiyu. He could never have imagined that these pirates would dare to set their sights on a British warship. In his view, this was destined to fail

Afterward, Long Yufei was responsible for communicating with Captain Big Beard, while Luo Sangu gathered the pirates to hide in the cabin and create a diversion. Chen Sanzhong, on the other hand, directly took his people and the books to escape. However, as he was leaving, his gaze towards Long Yufei was filled with resentment. In response, Long Yufei seemed to be completely oblivious to it.

"Please, sir, spare me! I have a considerable amount of gold in Manila; if you let me go, all this gold will belong to you!" said the captain with the bushy beard

"Captain, do you wish to live?" Long Yufei said to the bearded captain

"Esteemed Officer, we have been attacked by pirates, and my crew has suffered heavy casualties. I hope you can assist us!" said the bearded man

As the pirate leader, Luo Sangu wielded a long knife, leading her pirates to slaughter within the British Navy, unstoppable and invincible, with no one able to match her prowess!

Luo Sangu did not deliberate for long; merely a few seconds later, she spoke up: "Brothers, let us act according to what Mr. Long has said. Only by putting ourselves in a position of life and death can we have a chance of survival! Now, those who are willing to stay and fight the British can go hide in the cabin. Those who do not wish to stay may leave the ship at once!"

Captain Big Beard could sense that Long Yufei was definitely not lying. If he disagreed or if the plan failed, he would surely be killed first. These Chinese people are nothing short of devils. However, he had no other choice now but to cooperate with these devils; he did not want to die here

"You brat, what kind of foolish idea are you coming up with here! If it fails, we are doomed!" Chen San scolded

On board the cruiser "Coventry," there were more than one hundred British naval officers and soldiers. However, unprepared as they were, they were no match for the pirates. A rifle without powder and bullets is even less effective than a fire stick, and it cannot compare to the steel knives wielded by the pirates. The number of pirates who stormed the "Coventry" reached into the hundreds, easily overwhelming the British Navy's resistance and decisively defeating them at a minimal cost.

There was no immediate response from the 'Coventry' side, as it seems they are in discussions.

Haha! Gold! These Spaniards are indeed too wealthy! Now I declare that this gold belongs to us! Lieutenant Brown, go up with a few men; if there is no danger, we will move all that gold back to the ship!" Captain Adam exclaimed excitedly! He could have taken a more cautious approach, such as having the "Coventry" remain in place and first sending a small boat to the "Black Pearl" to check for danger before the "Coventry" cruiser moved in. However, the word 'gold' made his blood boil with excitement; he could hardly wait to possess those glittering treasures, disregarding everything else. He subconsciously believed that a merchant ship attacked by pirates would pose no threat to his warship and certainly would not dare to have any designs against a military vessel!

What a remarkable woman! Long Yufei could not help but exclaim sincerely upon witnessing this scene

"Captain, that's right. If the plan fails, we are doomed! But I assure you, before we are killed by the British, we will definitely kill you first!" Long Yufei said with utmost certainty.

"Sir, this plan is too risky. If it fails, you will be doomed!" said Captain Big Beard

Gold is indeed something that captivates the heart. Upon hearing that the "Black Pearl" was carrying gold, the crew of the cruiser "Coventry" immediately became agitated, including Captain Adam of that ship.

Sir, we have succeeded. You promised that you would let me go!" The bearded captain said to Long Yufei with a flattering expression, fearing that Long Yufei would destroy the bridge after crossing it

Captain Big Beard, clutching his injured arm, stepped onto the deck. He glanced at the cabin and saw Long Yufei indeed holding a rifle aimed at him, causing a wave of fear to wash over him. He knew that if he dared to play tricks, Long Yufei would certainly kill him. For the sake of his own life, he could not take the risk, so he could only silently repent to God in his heart, seeking God's forgiveness

"Captain, this is our only chance! Let this Spanish captain lure the British onto the ship, and then we will rush to their warship at full speed and eliminate them all! Otherwise, the likelihood of successfully escaping from the British pursuit is only about 10 to 20 percent!" Long Yufei said. In front of the British warship, the pirate ship had no resistance capability at all; the British warship could sink a pirate ship with just one round of cannon fire. As for the remaining ten or so pirate ships, even if they scattered to escape, it would be very difficult to evade capture!

"Boss, I entrust my life to you! I believe that Mr. Long's methods will surely be effective!" Li Hu was the first to stand up and express his support

A few minutes later, the cruiser "Coventry" docked alongside the "Black Pearl," and British Navy Lieutenant Brown jumped onto the "Black Pearl" with several soldiers
