Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2408
The wages of avarice is death.

Even though these European soldiers were ordered by Queen Ophelia to do this, if they could be given some benefits, they would work harder.

Qin Tian had obtained several million taels of silver in Europe alone, and the valuable items on the Datang fleet were even more numerous.

If these things can be obtained, then all of them will be sent.

So, after Jordan finished saying this, those European soldiers pretending to be robbers swarmed and rushed over. They were crazy, and they would risk their lives for money.

Qin Tian stood at the bow of the boat, but his expression was calm.

Even if the other party has several times more people than them, he is not afraid.

Just when those robbers rushed over, Qin Tian waved his hands and shouted: "Launch."

With an order, Datang's artillery bombarded the past.

These cannons are very powerful. After hitting those big ships, they quickly sank several of those pirate ships.

However, these pirate ships are not very big, so their speed is also very fast. They seem to have some understanding of Datang's artillery, so when rushing past, they gradually become divergent.

After they dispersed like this, it was not an easy task for Datang's artillery to bombard them easily.

After several rounds of bombing, Datang's artillery bombarded one-third of the pirates' ships, but the remaining ships quickly approached them. If they were allowed to hit them, they would have to fight hand-to-hand.

Qin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "The firecracker is ready, launch."

The two sides are too close, the artillery has lost its range, and all they can use is firecrackers.

The robbers stood at the bow of the ship, each one still showing excitement.

These people may have been afraid of Datang before this, but because of the temptation of benefits, they have now given up their lives.

However, just as they rushed over like this, with the sound of bang bang bang, the pirates standing on the bow were shot and killed before they could figure out what was going on.

They fell into the water, and the sea water was soon dyed bright red.

"This...what's the matter?"

Jordan was shocked. He didn't know that Datang still had such firearms. There was no such description in the news from Europe. When did Datang have such firearms?

This firearm is powerful and has a long range. Facing the artillery, they still have a chance to rush over, but now they are facing the firecracker, but they have no hope of rushing over.

As long as they show their heads, they will be shot in the head by firecrackers immediately.

This is simply fatal.

The sound of bang bang bang was endless, those pirates were killed one by one, but their ships could hardly move forward.

The wind is blowing, and the heat is very strong.

There were fewer and fewer people around Jordan, and fewer and fewer boats.

"General, we can't continue to rush forward. We are no match for Tang Jun at all. If we continue to fight, we will all die."

"Yes, general, retreat, we can only retreat now, if we retreat, we can survive."

"General..."

If there is hope, they will definitely rush over, but now there is no hope, no hope, why are they rushing?
Naturally, survival is the most important thing, and they also need to go back quickly and tell their Majesty the Queen about the firecracker.

Jordan's face was flushed, and he seemed a little nervous. He was in pain, and he didn't know how to explain to Queen Ophea after returning.

He had this woman before, but deep down in his heart, he was particularly afraid of this woman.

Even he himself didn't know why he was afraid of a woman like him.

Can he go back without completing the task?
The smell of blood began to become stronger, and the sea water became redder. In the distance, some bloodthirsty marine creatures were drifting here. They seemed very excited and cheerful.

Jordan finally made a decision.

"go!"

After saying this and leaving, he was about to turn the bow of the boat and leave with his soldiers and horses.

After Qin Tian saw this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's so easy to escape if you offend Tang Dynasty, haven't you heard of it? If you offend Tang Dynasty, you will die!"

As he spoke, Qin Tian ordered: "Surround up and don't let anyone go."

After Qin Tian's order was issued, Datang's fleet began to pursue. The ships used by Jordan and the others were all European ships, which were relatively fast, but compared with Datang's fleet, they were much slower.

Therefore, when Datang's fleet chased after them, the distance between them became shorter and shorter.

Jordan saw that Datang's fleet was getting closer and closer to them, and the sweat on his forehead became more intense.

"Damn it, why is Datang's fleet so fast? Why have you never heard of this news before?"

In the news sent back by Earl Jackson, he said that the speed of the Datang fleet is not as fast as their European fleet, but the current situation is obviously not the case.

"Damn Earl Jackson, you killed me."

Jordan hated Earl Jackson, thinking that if he could return to China, he would make Earl Jackson look good.

However, if he wanted to return to China, how easy was it?

Datang's fleet quickly rushed over and surrounded their remaining dozen or so ships.

This situation was unexpected by Jordan. He thought that even if he couldn't beat Tang Jun, if he wanted to escape, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

But now it seems that the problem is very big, and they can't even escape if they want to.

"Do you want to kill them all?" Qiao Dan looked at Qin Tian and asked, Qin Tian shrugged and said, "If this happens to me, I'm afraid you won't let us go. Thinking of such consequences, my Great Tang never gives the enemy a way out, you have to surrender or die, unfortunately, my Great Tang does not want to accept your surrender, then you can only die."

As he said that, Tang Jun fired bullets again, and the pirates on the ship still had no ability to resist, and they fell into the sea and died one after another.

It didn't take long for Tang Jun to deal with them all.

The wind on the sea was very hot, and the smell of blood was very strong. The watching marine creatures finally rushed over, greedily eating the corpses and drinking the bloody water.

Datang's fleet gradually passed by, and the setting sun in the distance came, very red, very red, but no matter how red it was, it was not as red as the blood in that sea area.

Qin Tian led Datang's fleet to continue onwards. If there is no accident, they will be able to rush back to Chang'an City this winter.

And just as they were rushing to Chang'an City, the news of Jordan's complete annihilation spread to the royal palace of the European country and to Queen Ophelia.

At this time, Empress Ophelia's belly was already slightly swollen.
