Chapter 411: Naval Weapons

With the retreat of the Wyvern Pirate Regiment, the ships of the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment successfully attacked Shuangjiao Island, and the gate of Shuangjiao Island has been blocked.

It's just that it's not easy to get into the island.

The situation of Doublehorn Island is also known to the people of the Black Dragon Pirate Group.

The entrance is narrow, and there are also forts, and because the forts are built on high places, the guns of the sea ships cannot hit the forts, and they can only be passively beaten.

Fortunately, the battery was slow to fire and inaccurate, so as long as they rushed ashore at a faster pace, they would have won.

It seems that the two horns have given up resistance, and even the gate has not been closed, and the forts built on the mountain wall have not been fired for a long time.

"Rush in, don't seal the knife for three days!"

"Rush. ”

"Faster, faster. ”

The pirates scrambled to drive their ships into the Double Horn Island, and seeing that they were less than a hundred meters away from the dock, they could clearly see the panicked crowd on the dock.

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and a splash exploded outside a sea ship, and a big hole was also blown open on the sea boat, and the sea water was ferociously poured in.

"What's going on?"

"Did you hit the rocks?"

"Fart, where did the reef come from?"

Before they could figure out what was going on, another explosion rang out, and another sea ship was blasted into a large hole.

As the two ships exploded, the rest of the ships exploded one after another.

The first one can be said to have hit the reef, and it would be silly to say that it hit the reef later.

Pirates may not be educated. But no one can say they're stupid.

"It's the water ghost fire thunder, it must be the water ghost fire thunder!"

Fruit fire mines, in fact, are also water mines. It's just that because the mine floats on the water like a water ghost, and after it explodes, it will produce flames, so it is called a water ghost fire mine.

It's just that their water ghost fire thunder is floating on water, while the water mine designed and made by Wang Xiaoming is sunk three meters underwater and floating, and there is almost no trace on the water surface. It's hard to prevent.

This kind of mine is not very technical, you only need to know the principle to make it easily, and eighty mines were made on the island of Double Horn for defense. These mines are now placed around the dock, and as soon as the enemy ships get close to the area where the mines are located, they will be attacked by the mines.

Although these mines are more insidious, they are not impossible to deal with, only for a short time. The Black Dragon Pirates couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

But when I saw the fat meat, I was about to bite into my mouth. It's really reluctant to give up.

The Black Dragon Pirates can be said to be in a dilemma.

It was reluctant to retreat, but if you continued to attack, you would encounter a mine attack.

At this moment, the ships of the Wyvern Pirate Regiment, which had retreated earlier, sailed back.

It's just that in the face of these ships of the Flying Dragon Pirate Regiment that have returned again, the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment is not afraid at all.

There are almost thirty ships from the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment this time, most of them are equipped with artillery, half of them have entered the passage of the Double Horn Island, and the other half are outside to respond.

Although only half of the ships are left to respond. However, against the six warships of the Flying Dragon Pirate Regiment, these members of the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment were full of confidence.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer. Before the Wyvern Pirate Regiment approached, the ships of the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment had been turned around and the formation had been fully arranged.

The distance between the two sides entered a thousand meters, and the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment fired first, and in the earth-shattering cannon, a huge splash of water exploded around the Flying Dragon Pirate Regiment, and the members of the Flying Dragon Pirate Regiment immediately panicked, speaking of which, most of them were still novices, and their experience and courage were still a little lacking.

Fortunately, there were many old pirates and leaders on each ship, and under the constraints of the old pirates and leaders, these novice pirates finally persevered.

Lei Meng was on a battleship at this time, and as the commander, all the battleships would not fire until he gave the order to open fire.

Lei Meng's eyes were firmly fixed on the other party's sea boat, and his mouth kept cheering himself up: "Steady, you must be steady, get closer, get closer,"

The opponent has already entered the range of his cannon, but the distance is too far, and the probability of missing is as high as nine layers, and once the cannon is fired, it will alarm the opponent, which will be very disadvantageous for the own side.

Suddenly, there was a bang, and one of the ships of the Wyvern Pirate Regiment was shot, and a large hole was broken in the deck, but their luck was not bad, although the deck was hit with a big hole, but there were no casualties, and the ship was not affected too much, and it could continue to move forward.

It's just this cannon that scared everyone.

Solid shells are still used in naval battles in this world, and the power is still not strong enough, so usually, it is necessary to bombard many shells to be able to sink the opponent's sea ship.

The distance was five hundred meters, and the attacks of the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment were getting more and more accurate, and several warships were hit by shells, fortunately they were all solid shells, and the damage to the sea ships was not great, but there were already casualties.

Fortunately, the opponent's artillery is a front artillery, and every time the cannon is fired, the gunpowder needs to be cleaned up, the gun chamber is cleared, and then the gunpowder can be added to open the cannon.

Under normal circumstances, especially in naval warfare, it is normal to be able to fire a cannon in two or three minutes, and the slow speed of firing a cannon also makes the threat drop a lot.

The distance between the two sides finally entered the range of five hundred meters, and Lei Meng immediately shouted: "Open the cannon." ”

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

With the issuance of the thunderous order, the order to open the cannon was quickly transmitted layer by layer, and in the sound of the boom, the artillery of the Wyvern Pirate Regiment finally fired.

Within a range of 500 meters, the Flying Dragon Pirate Regiment could reach 70% of the hit rate, and just the first round of attacks caused several of the opponent's sea ships to be hit.

All of the Dragon's pirate guns followed suit at this point.

After the first round of attacks. Although the Black Dragon Pirate Group was a little surprised, they were not too surprised.

The other side has artillery, and they have seen it a long time ago.

But wait until the second round of artillery fire. That's a different story.

It was too fast, after the first round of artillery was over, only five seconds later, the second round of artillery fire followed, it was almost impossible, the time between the artillery was too short.

The second round is over, just two breaths of time. A third round of artillery attacks followed, and at this time, the artillery of the Black Dragon Pirates was still after clearing the previous attack. Gunpowder residue from artillery remnants.

In the third round, the fourth round, and the fifth round, before the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment could continue to fire, the Wyvern Pirate Regiment had already fired five rounds of artillery attacks, facing the Flying Dragon Pirate Regiment's dense artillery attack. The Black Dragon Pirates suffered heavy losses.

There's no way around it. Although the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment has many people, many ships, and many artillery, but unfortunately, the artillery fire of the Flying Dragon Pirate Regiment is extremely fast, almost five or six times the speed difference, the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment fires one cannon, and the Flying Dragon Pirate Regiment can fire five or six cannons, and the Flying Dragon Pirate Regiment's artillery speed is getting faster and faster, and the gap between the two sides is also getting bigger and bigger.

This is also a normal situation. Because the Wyvern Pirate Regiment was not familiar with the situation on the battlefield at the beginning, the panic also affected the speed of firing the cannon. When they became familiar with the artillery and adapted to the atmosphere of the battlefield, their hands and feet became more agile because they were calm, so the speed of firing the artillery became faster.

In the fierce battle, the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment suffered heavy losses, most of the ships facing the enemy were sunk, and the rest were also injured in varying degrees of severity.

At this time, the ships that had entered the passage were turning their sails and heading outward, ready to concentrate their efforts and sink the ships of the Wyvern Pirate Regiment outside.

It was also at this time that a figure appeared on the cliff, and a group of pirates carrying strange weapons appeared on the cliff.

Only a sharp sound was heard breaking through the air, and a stream of firelight sprayed down from the cliff, and these firelights fell into the sea, but most of them fell on the ships of the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment.

As soon as the fire fell on the ship, it burst open, and a stream of fire oil scattered from it onto the ship, and the fire oil met the flames and burned rapidly, and then set the whole ship on fire.

In addition to mines, Wang Xiaoming also left another weapon on the island to deal with the attack, that is, rockets.

Although the rockets are still very rudimentary, they are more than enough for close combat.

Especially in the special terrain of Twin Horn Island, you can use rockets to attack ships close to the island by simply standing on a cliff.

This kind of rocket uses gunpowder as the propulsion power, and the warhead is filled with oil, and when the warhead hits the target, the warhead will be broken, and the oil will leak out, and then the oil will meet the propulsion part of the rocket, and the flame of the propelled part will ignite, and it will immediately become a big fire.

This kind of rocket is naturally useless for ironclad ships, but it is too powerful for sea ships made of wood, and it is completely the nemesis of sea ships and a sharp weapon for naval warfare.

It's just a pity that the attack distance of the rocket is still too close, because the gunpowder is limited, so the flight distance is only up to 200 meters, and if more flames are installed, the size is too large, and it is inconvenient to use.

This weapon can only be considered a transitional use, and in the future, it will depend on the power of the cannon.

But at this stage, in the current terrain, these rockets are terrifying, and only a few rockets can burn a sea ship.

Sea ships are made of wood, and once they are ignited by flames, there is no way to rescue them.

Especially in the current situation, when the battle is still going on, where is there any time for you to put out the fire.

These black dragon pirates are also unlucky, it's not good to provoke anyone, they actually came to provoke the flying dragon pirates, and this time it can be regarded as an iron kick.

When Jiang Chen, the boss of the Black Dragon Pirate Group, saw such a situation, he was immediately angry, but no matter how angry he was, it would be useless for the battle situation, and in desperation, Jiang Chen, the boss of the Black Dragon Pirate Group, could only order a retreat.

The Sea Dragon Pirate Regiment suffered heavy losses, but the situation of the Flying Dragon Pirate Regiment was not good, and each of the sea ships suffered varying degrees of damage, and two of the sea ships had stopped moving forward because of their injuries and were repairing in situ.

There are only three ships left that can continue to fight, and these three ships are also scarred, so in this case, the battle is also reluctant, let alone intercepting the ships of the fleeing Black Dragon Pirate Regiment.

In the end, only seven or eight scarred ships escaped from the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment.

In fact, the battle has been fought so far, and the ships of the Wyvern Pirate Regiment have reached the end of their crossbows, and if the battle continues, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose.

The artillery of the Flying Dragon Pirate Regiment is more ferocious, but the gunners of the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment are even more powerful, and there are more ships left in the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment.

But the Black Dragon Pirate Regiment was also blinded by repeated attacks, and they were afraid, they were already cowardly, and they did not dare to continue fighting, he was afraid that he would lose, and he would lose nothing, and he would lose his own life.

If it was at the moment when he first debuted, Jiang Chen would really dare to work hard, because at that time, he had nothing, so he could only use his life to fight for wealth and wealth.

But now, he has become a pirate leader, not only has a lot of money, but also has all the homes and fields of his wife and children, let him work hard at this time, where is he willing to work hard.

In this way, the result is that the Black Dragon Pirate Group is defeated and the Wyvern Pirate Group wins.

Soon after the battle ended, Wang Xiaoming's boat finally hurried over.

Knowing that the battle was over, his own side was victorious, and the place was defeated, Wang Xiaoming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Twin Horns were the only little power he had now, and it would be a shame if he were destroyed because of this.

It takes a lot of time to develop it again in other places.

Moreover, there are a lot of his people on Shuangjiao Island, if something happens to them, it will also have a great impact on Wang Xiaoming's affairs.

It's okay now, the enemy was pushed back, and his own losses were not too great.

The time is still too rushed, if he can delay the time for another month, Wang Xiaoming can install artillery on all his ships, and then he will not be afraid of these pirates.

Although the pirates were repulsed, there was still a lot of follow-up.

The black dragon pirates who fell into the water have to be pulled onto the ship, and all those who can be saved will be saved, even if these pirates can't join the team, they can be used as coolies, and there is no reason not to save them.

The two injured vessels were slowly returning to the dock after emergency repairs, and they had to carry out in-depth repairs at the dock.

The rest of the ships were not seriously injured, and after emergency repairs, they were able to resume the battle immediately.

It's just that in this way, there are only three ships left that can continue the fight.

By the time everything is taken care of, it will already be in the treetops.

At this time, Wang Xiaoming called several squadron leaders over and said coldly: "Do you want to take revenge?" ”

Several people were stunned for a moment, but Lei Meng reacted the fastest, and immediately shouted: "Want!" (to be continued......)
