Chapter 251: Killer Feature
In cloudless weather, the airship flying in the air is particularly abrupt.
Neither of the warring parties knew why the fish-shaped flying object had come, but the airship had been at an altitude of thousands of meters, and even the Qi Grandmaster could not reach that height, so he could only let it peep through the air.
Four of Stuart's battleships were damaged and had to change sails or repair hulls and salvage the wounded, making it impossible to continue the pursuit. The four battleships of the Western Front, which had been heavily blocked, pursued the two remaining ships of the envoy fleet all the way to the east.
Although the envoy's two battleships broke through, they still could not escape the pursuit, and the four battleships were biting three or four miles behind them.
"Can't catch up, can't catch up!" Fabian was not good at math, but the distance between the two fleets was gradually widening, and he could see the answer to the chase question even without using a pen.
After the artillery battle began, Fat Orange had already been brought back to the airship by Jacques, and he didn't want to get his hair wet because of the shipwreck.
"It seems that there is nothing to do with us, and the emperor thinks we can go back. Fat Tangerine voiced his opinion.
Jacques also felt that he could return home, since he couldn't get in touch with Claudia, and when he returned to Yorktown, Hoffa shouldn't trouble them, after all, the two sides still had some friendship.
Just as Jacques was about to turn around, four Stuart battleships suddenly turned sideways at the departing envoy fleet.
"Huh, this distance, can't you hit the gun?" Marianne also knew a little about artillery, and at a distance of about four miles, the cannon couldn't hit it at all.
Everyone leaned on the edge of the basket with great interest to see what else the Stuarts could do.
The four battleships were stretched in a row, and suddenly hundreds of black dots dragged their white tails to the sky, and the white smoke drew an arc towards the two escaping ships in the distance.
"What is this!" the crowd on the airship was stunned.
From the trajectory of the white smoke, everyone can also see that those black dots can also get the envoy's battleship.
After the black dots approached the surface of the sea, they exploded one after another, but some exploded in volleys, some directly burrowed into the sea and exploded huge splashes, and some exploded near the ship.
Then the second, third, fourth, fifth, and five rounds of attacks, even if the hit rate was surprisingly low, a few shots hit the envoy's ship.
The power of each black spot explosion is not small, and occasionally a single hit will explode fragments, causing a sea of fire, in which there must be some elements of ignition, and even those that explode in the sea will leave a flame on the surface of the sea.
"All the rockets are out?" asked Michelle.
"Report to the director, it's all finished, the accuracy of this rocket is too low, fortunately, there are many hits, and the speed of the opponent's ship has dropped significantly. ”
Michelle smiled all over her face: "Catch up!"
The strange weapon that the Stuarts suddenly fired, although the accuracy was touching, could cause a burst of fire when hit.
Most unfortunately, the mainmast of the envoy's ship happened to be blinded by a single shot, and the rocket exploded over the mainmast, and the scattered flames set the canvas on fire in many places. Although the transcendent beings on the ship used their source energy skills in time to extinguish the flames, the canvas had already been torn in many places, and the ship's speed dropped in one fell swoop.
François was very anxious at this time: "Arrange someone to repair the sails, replace the spare sails if they are bad, and they will still be in time, and they will be able to ...... in time."
"Bang!"
After a loud bang, François shook his feet, almost fell, stood firm, and rushed out of the captain's room despite Annan's obstruction, looked around, and stomped his feet in anger.
It turned out that their only frigate was burning at this time, and a large puff of smoke rushed into the sky, and there was a huge hole in the side of the ship, and the sea water poured so violently that it fell towards the ship and fell to the surface. The crew was either diving and swimming, or floating with planks, and were fleeing for their lives on the flagship.
"What's the matter? Didn't you just say that the damage was not great?" asked François eagerly, pulling Annan by the hand.
"I don't know, pick up the crew who fell into the sea, I'll ask. "Annan ran before and after, and the herald was arranged, but it was indeed not clear why the ship suddenly exploded.
François, who was standing in the stern, looked at the Stuart battleship in the distance and said: "It's too late to wait for them, we must leave at full speed, we are in danger now." ”
The bigger reason for this explosion, or bad luck, is that everyone is not familiar enough with the actual combat of weapons such as artillery. The exploding frigate had not closed its gun doors since the shelling of the Stuart battleship, and bags of gunpowder were piled up next to the guns.
When attacked by rockets, flames were splashed on the deck at first, which were extinguished by the seafarers in time, but did not cause alarm.
As a result, a rocket exploded on the side of the hull, and the burning flames splashed into the ship from the gun door, leaving only a small flame that was extinguished in time without being detected.
Finally, a few minutes later, the remaining flames ignited the gunpowder, causing a martyrdom, blowing a large hole in the hull, pouring seawater in, and the frigate began to slowly sink into the sea.
Soon François, who was on the flagship, also learned the general situation from the seafarers who were good at water and caught up with them, and he was also very helpless.
Even after abandoning the overboard seamen, Stuart's battleships were getting closer, and the distance between the two sides had been reduced to the range of shelling.
The front guns of the battleship began to fire rhythmically, but there was only one front gun, which did not pose much of a threat. But this is a signal, you can't run away, you will eventually catch up.
Michelle stood at the bow of the boat, full of confidence, with a confident performance, and James behind him kept flattering words, making his heart flutter, and the corners of his mouth quietly upturned.
Yes, if I hadn't tried to bring the newly developed rocket to the ship, it wouldn't have let the meat that was eaten in my mouth run away. After this matter was done, I was at the top of the list of the three deputy directors, and when the director retired, the next director would be in my pocket.
On the other side, François fidgeted in the captain's room, his body shaking unconsciously with every cannon shot, and he almost fell to the ground many times with a dagger in his hand.
Claudia pushed the door in, the dress on her body had been changed into a metal armor, and a thin sword hung from her waist, silently in front of the table.
François sat down across from her and said, "You don't need to fight yet, don't be too nervous." ”
"Oh, are you going to blow yourself up again? Well, at least the pain is short-lived. Claudia said lightly.
"No, I still have a killer idea, but ...... Can be dangerous. I don't dare to use it until I have to. François said.
"Isn't this the time of last resort? ”
François pulled out the dagger in his hand and inserted it into the table, Claudia's gaze unconsciously focused on the quaint dagger.
The blade is more than half a foot long, the tip is curved, the blade is double-sided, the whole body is jet black, and the tail end is embedded with a smooth wooden handle.
After a cannon shot, François's fingers that slashed across the blade shook slightly, and a small cut was made, and a drop of blood flowed down the blade to the table.
"That's the killer feature!"
