"Bang!"

After the loud explosion of stone pine powder, a huge metal fork with a few barbs at the front was slammed into the right side of the stern of the Yong. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) Seeing this, Captain Fore Chopin's face was as pale as paper, and he subconsciously muttered:

"Dragged down, we're finished, finished."

Drake King, the short and fat ship doctor who was temporarily transferred by Luo Zhengdao to serve as the boatswain of the Lai Yong, was furious, he kicked his old partner in the ass hard, turned around and yelled at the overwhelmed sailors, and scolded:

"A bunch of fools, send someone down to cut the rope behind the fishing fork, do you want to stay here and die?"

The task of exterminating the exiled human aristocracy was not easy for Jeti Baishan, and the credit for Will Needham's two small ships could not compete with his own fleet, so he could not help but have other ideas. Gaining long's hope and self-aggrandizement are common problems committed by all intelligent beings, and it is only natural that the self-conscious and comfortable Jeti Baishan automatically corrects his goal from annihilating this handful of human fugitives to capturing Count Frür alive and asks the Senate for credit. You know, the actual meaning of killing and capturing a human aristocrat in exile is not far off, but the public sacrifice of prisoners can boast of the commander's martial arts.

When this thought came to mind like a devil's temptation, the attraction was self-evident to the Bear Goblin Commander, who was poorly born and had a strong thirst for honor.

Luo Zhengdao, who was sailing ahead, soon felt that the wingman Yong was in trouble, he was very anxious, and for a while he had no idea, and after a brief discussion with the boatswain Zola Hegel and Vina Dubov, as well as several other officers, Luo Zhengdao drew up a course of action.

"Hang up the signal flag, inform the Brave to break through as soon as it gets rid of the enemy's entanglement, we don't fight with these greenskins, they won't let go."

As the situation progressed to the stage of death that the pirates least wanted to see, the mood of the people was very depressed, but fortunately everyone understood the truth at this time. In the face of a strong enemy, it is extremely naïve and layman's idea to flee without a fight, even if you want to run away, you have to fight for your life. Turning around and running away and handing over his back to the enemy was not to run away but to decide the rhythm of suicide, so the pirates were no longer entangled in who should come first and who came second, and concentrated on preparing for war.

Death is the ultimate destination of all people, Luo Zhengdao has long been aware, but there are many mysteries in his heart that have not been solved, and he is more unwilling than others to die in this ghost place where birds don't.

The goblin fleet soldiers pressed the realm, the blade was on the neck, and the only way out that Luo Zhengdao could think of was to pin his head to the waistband of his trousers and fight for the dawn. For now, he really hopes that being a traverser can bring him some extra good luck, otherwise, someone's skull will soon become a bargaining chip for goblins to redeem huàn rewards.

Keeping in mind the well-balanced design of the Yaling battleship, the battleship Yangwei turned its bow with a minimum turning radius to meet the wingman Yong, who was braving enemy arrows and bullets to slash harpoon ropes, and came to face the flagship of the Bear Goblin Commander up close.

Staring at the ostentatious goblin battleship, Luo Zhengdao's eyes revealed a coldness, and he turned his head to the half-elf beauty and said:

"Vena, you have to time your fire, and make sure you take out the second deck of that galleys."

Hearing the sound, Vina Dubov glanced at Luo Zhengdao with complicated eyes, no one knew what she was thinking at the moment, the half-elf beauty nodded silently, and then took out the instrument and began to measure the trajectory of the ballistics.

The tactical advantage of the galleys is that they are well maneuverable, and in extreme cases, they can even turn on the spot and maneuver such a perverted maneuver. Of course, as one of the costs of this anti-heaven ability, the shortcomings of the sailing oarship were also very obvious, the oarsmen took up too much space in the cabin, the guns could not be staggered on both sides of the hull in the conventional way, and heavy circular artillery fortresses had to be specially set up on the upper deck, the center of gravity of the guide zhì battleship was raised, and the ocean-going seaworthiness was greatly reduced. The second deck designated by Luo Zhengdao to attack was where the oarsmen of the goblin battleship were located, and as long as they killed those oarsmen, it would be equivalent to losing most of the power of the galleys.

"Day-day-day-day-"

Before the Yangwei approached the predetermined artillery position, several goblin warships guarding their flagship in front of them rushed to attack first, accompanied by a sharp and piercing whistling sound, red bands of light appeared in the sky and flew towards the Yangwei like a meteor shower.

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao was a little confused, and couldn't help but say to the half-elf beauty:

"What's that?"

Relying on mental arithmetic, which was enough for a high school student in a science class to collectively calculate the complex ballistic number of ballistics foaming at the mouth, Vina Dubov smiled lightly at the moment and said:

"Don't worry, it's a goblin rocket, and it's much more intimidating than lethal. A weapon with a simple structure, the work of geome alchemy, the green skins of the First Goblin Empire are known for being good at creating zào, you ask them what is so great about making this weapon? Of course, at that time, their physique was pitifully weak, and they were not as good as the current miscellaneous little goblins, and later those greenskins didn't know what to think, and they experimented and debugged their own race, and no one knew the specific process, anyway, they created big goblins, bear goblins and goblins. Since then, the pride of the Greenskins has vanished, and they have become as savage and ignorant as monsters, so the First Goblin Empire has been replaced by a dynastic lineage of humans. ”

In the second half of the conversation, Luo Zhengdao, whose eyes were fixed, had turned a deaf ear, and only the approaching giant sail oars battleship remained in his mind. Knowing what he was thinking, the half-elf beauty didn't care about Luo Zhengdao's casual attitude, she lifted her forehead with her fingers, and a confident smile appeared on her pretty face, waiting for the calculated attack to really arrive.

"Ready...... Reciprocal, 3, 2, 1. ”

"Fire!"

Receiving the gunner's warning to open fire, Luo Zhengdao, who was eager to try, roared, and the twenty-six gun crews located on the starboard side of the battleship Yangwei ignited the fuse inserted in the gun door in order.

"Tom! Tong! Tom ......"

In the earth-shattering roar of the cannons, the stone projectiles that were shot out of the barrels of the guns with the white smoke from the burning stone pine powder rotated slightly, and the round stone creatures flew into the hull with a visible flight path through the slender blade gaps of the goblin giant paddle warship. When a short moment of silence passed, the faintly audible screams and the crisp sound of the wood products breaking off sounded to Luo Zhengdao, who was holding his breath, like a magnificent symphony.

"Ahh These bastards hairless monkeys, ready to jump gang! ”

At a distance of less than two hundred meters, the oarsmen on the second deck of the Goblin Flagship had undoubtedly suffered heavy casualties, and the embarrassed and distorted face of the Goblin Commander was comparable to that of a ghost, but it still had a chance to recover from its disadvantage when it quickly returned to its role as a general.

Compared to the Yaling Rank 6 battleship, which was not too small, the giant sailing oarship that Zheti Baishan was riding was as straight as a Tibetan mastiff standing next to a Chihuahua, and its condescending position was a clear tactical advantage. With its command, the goblin flagship was dominated by goblin soldiers, and the soldiers of the 6th Sentai Clan, a mixture of stout bear goblins and much smaller goblins, stood on the side of the ship with one hand holding a cable and the other holding a weapon, and not far below was the deck of the Yangwei.

The goblins have an absolute advantage in terms of troops, and there is no possibility of losing in a white-knuckle battle, Zheti Hakusan seemed to feel that Bane was beckoning to him cordially, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shouted:

"Attack!"

Luo Zhengdao is not a young man who is about to fight with others as soon as his head is hot, people who have mixed with society understand that people who can't bear to be angry can't get along in the real world where there is no distinction between black and white, unless you have the ability to subvert the order of the entire world, and then reintegrate it according to your own intentions. Didn't he know that competing with his opponent in a white-knuckle battle was a dead end? It doesn't seem to be, and the answer to the answer and the mystery are revealed.

Not long ago, the starboard guns of the Yangwei fired a salvo, and only the 24-pounder gun on the lower deck in the third gun position was silent. Apparently in the deafening sound of cannonballs, the white smoke of the burning stone pine powder obscured the view, and no one noticed this detail.

Like the black powder of the Old World, the lycopodium spores were not able to hit properly due to moisture due to improper storage, a common technical glitch on battleships, and not worth the fuss. However, the silence of the artillery this time was not an accident, and Luo Zhengdao sent someone to inform this cannon in advance to take on another task.

Seeing that the goblin's giant sail oars warship looked like it was eating itself, Luo Zhengdao sneered, pulled off the cork of the communication brass pipe from the command platform to the main deck, and shouted:

"I'm the captain, shoot a flarefire immediately!"

Hearing this, the gunners who were waiting for this order shouted in unison, and an iron chisel with a cherry-red tip was poked into the cannon fire.

"Bang-"

Suddenly, the muzzle of the 24-pounder cannon erupted with dazzling golden fire and a large canopy of milky white smoke, and a white cannonball with a strange red appearance burst forward from the muzzle of the gun, piercing through the hole in the ship's plank that had been torn by the heavy shelling just now, and penetrating into the Goblin Flagship.

When the shell hit the inner partition of the goblin battleship, it lightly shattered into countless tiny fragments, and in an instant, the liquid alchemy mixture inside began to boil, quickly heating the surrounding air to an incredible temperature, as if a red-hot steelmaking furnace was pouring red molten steel. This cannonball is not ordinary, the wax wrapped in its outer layer is collided and shattered by external forces, and the two alchemical mixtures contained in it react with the air in a chain reaction, and the liquid wrapped in it instantly turned into a large canopy of flames and spread freely inside the giant sail oars, this effect is like pouring a bottle of gasoline and then lighting the cardboard box with a match, the fierce fire like a wild beast is clear at a glance, and it must be hopeless.

The attack effect of this special shell was immediate, and Luo Zhengdao, who was heartbroken, complained:

"This is burning money! A cannonball costs 800 gold coins, but fortunately I have a certain hit, which is more expensive to fire a salvo than to buy a battleship. ”
