Chapter 492: , Retreat (four)

When Jarvis and the others ran to the pier, the small sailboat had left the pier and ran more than twenty meters. Jarvis and the others wouldn't be able to get up and down the water, so naturally it is impossible for them to roar and soar into the air, stepping on the right foot with their left foot, and flying onto the boat with their right foot on the left foot. But they all jumped into the sea without hesitation, just like a group of penguins jumping into the sea with a plop.
However, their movements in the sea are far less flexible than penguins, but clumsy as when they are on the shore. Especially Captain Jarvis, his belt is full of gold coins, it is too heavy, which makes him have to use more power to float himself, instead of letting himself go forward.
But other people are not much better. Even if they swim faster, they can't compare with ships, even if they are just sail-powered ships. Seeing that the ship is getting farther and farther, the distance between them has changed from more than 20 meters to more than 30 meters, to more than 40 meters. No matter how they chanted or flopped, the boat was getting farther and farther.
In the end, the call for help and pleading became a curse. What kind of king is a lunatic, what kind of crown prince will be cut off, they are all scolded. These remarks clearly violated the laws of the United Kingdom. But the British gendarmes on that boat trampled on their duties and didn't even drive the boat back to arrest them.
At this time, on the side of the defense line, more and more "security forces" found themselves abandoned, and they shouted out of shock, like a mountain collapse and a cracked ground. These "security forces" rushed toward the port in a wild, and they could see the dust raised when they ran from a long distance.
Such a movement will naturally attract the attention of the Independence Army and the French over there. Captain Jarvis estimates that it will not take long before the French cannon will fire at this place.
Now the ship has been more than a hundred meters away from them, but the ship suddenly slowed down, and in the end it even slowly turned around and started to approach them!
"Thank God! They finally saw us! I love the United Kingdom!" someone shouted happily.
"I knew that the United Kingdom would not abandon any running dog loyal to her." Another person also shouted with joy. Because he was too happy, he accidentally choked on his saliva, coughed violently, and almost sank.
But although the boat came towards them, it did not stop beside them. Instead, it passed them and passed towards the dock. On the trestle bridge of the dock, a rhubarb was sitting there, wagging its tail and barking barkingly. Indeed, the United Kingdom will never abandon any dog ​​that ends up with them.
The boat slowed down and approached the trestle bridge. A springboard was lowered and set on the trestle bridge. The people on the boat were shouting the name of the dog: "Spike, Spike, where did you go? Come on up, come on up!"
Spike stood up, wagging his tail, and leaped towards the springboard, but when his front foot stepped on the springboard, he suddenly hesitated, then turned his head and looked behind—over there , There is a gray-blue cat walking slowly from the trestle bridge.
"Wow!" Spike yelled, turned and rushed towards the cat.
"Spike, you stupid dog! Come back soon! Come back soon!" a British military police shouted while rushing off the boat.
"Spike is such a good dog!" Jarvis thought this way, and hurried back. He wants to hurry up on the boat before the British military police pulls that stupid dog-ah, no, it's a good dog before he can get it back, or else, just like the British, he might not wait for them.
Just now, Jarvis was almost the slowest swimmer because of the drag of the belt. But as the saying goes, he is also the closest to the dock.
Jarvis lost the two large revolvers hanging on his belt—the thing was useless now—and swam back desperately. While swimming, he prayed that the dog would give them more time.
That dog was very helpful, maybe it should be said that the cat was very helpful, so until Jarvis swam to the shore again, climbed up, and then ran to the springboard, the dog, and the British military police have not yet come back.
But Jarvis was stopped by a few military police.
"What are you doing!" said the military police.
"Sir, the governor said that we can get on the boat." Jarvis said.
A leading military police frowned and said, "This is not the ship you are going to board. Your ship will take a while to come."
Jarvis glanced at the sea. There was no ship coming here at all. On the land side, the noise was getting closer and closer-the remaining defenders had collapsed. In addition, in the sky over there, a hot air balloon has risen-the offensive of the Irish Independence Army and the French artillery are about to begin!
"Sir, please! Look now, where are you waiting to get the boat?" Jarvis said, carefully shielding others' sight with his body, reaching out a bag in his jacket pocket (that's Jia Captain Weiss used to prepare something in case, there are several gold coins in it), and stuffed it to the military police who led the team. The captain of the gendarmerie who led the team took the small bag with his hands, looked at the few gendarmerie nearby, then put the bag away, and said, "Forget it, if there is still some space on the deck, let you come up! Only the deck You can find a place on the deck by yourself."
"Thank you sir, thank you sir." Jarvis said as he got on the deck. After him, several other "hardcore rapists" also boarded the ship after turning in the money to buy the road.
This ship is not big, it is an old-fashioned brig. In the past, there were still a few iron cannons on the deck of this ship. But now, this type of iron cannon is as outdated as this ship. However, although this boat is no longer suitable for running oceans, it is still possible to run along the coast, and those iron cannons are completely useless. So, the ship is still in use, but the cannon is gone.
The ship is not big, so after so many people on board, even the deck is quite crowded. But for Jarvis and the others, as long as they can get on the boat, everything else is not intolerable. Anyway, as long as you get to Britain, everything will be fine.
At this time, the sound of a running train came from the sky. Everyone changed their expressions-this is the sound of the French 280mm cannon shells flying across the sky. This kind of shell is so powerful that the brig like Jarvis and the others are now in, not to mention being hit directly by such shells, even if the shell explodes in a relatively close place, they can easily get the ship. Life.
The howling sound became louder and louder, and then a shell hit the office building of the Port Authority about 300 meters away, and then it exploded violently. The walls of the three-story office building of the Port Authority were like a strong wind. Like the leaves in the middle, they were rolled up by the explosive airflow and flew high. Some small rubble even fell on the boat.
However, the landing of the shells gave everyone a sense of security-the rate of fire of this gun is very low, and it usually takes at least four or five minutes to complete a shot. So at least for a few minutes, everyone is safe.
But two smaller shells fell shortly afterwards, luckily they were far away from them.
In fact, just considering the artillery, the so-called last line of defense is obviously a deceit. With the continuous abandonment of positions, the French artillery is getting closer and closer to the port. At first, only 280 guns could get to the port. The artillery can also hit the port. If you give up another line of defense and retreat to the so-called last line of defense, 100 guns can hit the port.
"Why haven't you come back!" The military police captain was a little anxious. He kept looking at his pocket watch and almost ordered the ship to leave.
"Why hasn't that stupid dog returned? Damn it, don't care about that stupid dog! If you don't go, you will get a cannonball!" Jarvis thought in his heart. Just now, he called that dog a "good dog", hoping it could run farther, but in a blink of an eye, the dog became a silly dog. In fact, the dog itself has not changed, only his position has changed.
Just like in later generations, when some people’s buttocks are sitting on the seats of a car, they will feel that those who ride battery cars are running around and they are really low quality; and when their butts are on the seat of the battery car, They will also feel that those car zebra crossings do not slow down and are messy, really lacking quality. Rather than seeing it, the determines the head, which is really eternal human nature.
Just when the captain of the military police couldn't help giving the order to set sail immediately, I saw the military police from a distance, carrying the silly dog ​​and ran over, while running, waving at them and shouting~www.mtlnovel .com~ When this person and dog got on the boat, more people could already be seen running towards this side, all running and shouting at the same time.
These people are the soldiers and low-level officers of the "security army" who have found something wrong. But they are still far away, and the gendarmerie's boat has already left the pier, full of sails, and heading for the open sea.
Jarvis stood on the deck looking at the pier more than a hundred meters away. A large number of "security forces" soldiers rushed to the pier noisily, shouting at the ship, because more people also squeezed over, and those people stood on their feet. He couldn't help but plopped into the sea row after row, just like the ghosts plopped into from Charon's boat.
Jarvis let out a sigh of relief, deeply happy for his luck. He looked at the unlucky ghosts struggling in the sea, and happily looked forward to a good day in the future. He hadn't noticed that the captain of the British gendarmerie was peeping at them in the shadow of the sail and was biting his ears with a group of gendarmerie.
