This Howling Moon Wolf was summoned by a two-star magic card, and the extraction and consumption of spiritual power was so large that Luo Zhengdao had previously blindly estimated that he could now hold on to the enemy on the opposite side under the attack of dizziness and fatigue, even if it was not easy, and if he asked for too many things, he would be struck by lightning. (Please search for the fastest novel website!)

Missing a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy is certainly a sigh, but one thing cannot but be admitted, which is a tangible manifestation of Luo Zhengdao's own lack of strength. In the same way, the opportunity to kill the warlock Najaf has not appeared, if the other party was stunned by the loss of mana just now, and it was an experienced warrior who rushed up to mend the knife and take the head early in the morning, Luo Zhengdao is a beginner in the end, even if he does not consider the burden caused by the use of magic cards on the body, his first reaction is not so fast, and killing is still an unconventional activity that Luo Zhengdao needs to adapt to, and under the interaction of various complex factors, he can only sigh.

Loss is temporary, and the only theme surrounding the battlefield is the bullet and bullet rain, so how can there be so much American time for participants to think about the true meaning of their own lives? In the blink of an eye of Luo Zhengdao's thoughts, the sailors on the opposite sailing boat had already opened their posture and were ready to carry out a gang jumping operation.

Fighting in the Aether Sea is more dangerous than fighting in nearshore waters, especially in the special sea where Aether particles are relatively thin, and a person stupidly jumping from a ship is no different from suicide. No matter where a seasoned sailor who is proficient in seafaring is, he will definitely fix a sea floating wooden board to the lower back and other parts that are not easy to be attacked by others before he jumps into the gang, so as not to accidentally step on the air during the battle, and in the blink of an eye, he will become a mummy floating in the void for thousands of years.

"Ammo reloaded!"

A battleship's firepower is not a simple jigsaw puzzle, in layman's terms, in order to maintain a stable center of gravity of the hull and safe navigation in complex sea conditions, those heavier guns can only be placed on the lower deck. Even if the cannon of the same caliber has to be arranged on the lower layer of the short-barreled gun, to avoid the fatal danger of top-heavy on the battleship, and even follow in the footsteps of the Vasa. Places such as the upper deck and mast of battleships are usually only equipped with small guns with light weight, but since they are called cannons, they are not as powerful as the less reliable arquebuses.

When he heard the shouts and shouts of the members of the artillery crew on the Yangwei, Luo Zhengdao pointed his sword at the group of ragtags of all races on the opposite sailing boat, and shouted:

"Aim at the enemy ship and prepare to ignite!"

"Bang-"

The captain gave the order, and the sailors did not turn a deaf ear, and in the middle of the upper deck of the Yangwei, a two-and-a-half-pounder eagle cannon that was the first to turn its muzzle opened fire, and in the loud roar of the stone pine powder, hundreds of round stone bullets the size of beans burst out of the barrel with dazzling golden fire and white smoke. Immediately afterward, the enemy in the direction of the muzzle of the gun responded with a colorful blood flower. Shotguns as lethal as iron broomsticks swept across the upper deck of the galleys in an instant, emptying a large area to the extent that wheat was harvested, and the bloody stain made the deck extremely slippery and sticky.

The current new world is still in the Age of Discovery, on the eve of the Industrial Revolution, no matter what kind of metal is a scarce resource, if it is used to make weapons such as swords, it is not enough, it is also a durable good!

If a user takes care of the weapon with enough care, it is not uncommon for a well-crafted metal sword to be passed down from generation to family for generations, and the long life of the weapon is enough to cover the cost of manufacturing, but to use the metal as ammunition is a complete failure.

Treating metal materials as disposable consumer goods is a habit that only industrial-age military strategists would have developed such extravagant and wasteful habits, and at any time before that, such a ruined general, even if he could win a war, would have been strangled to death by the king and the chancellor of the exchequer on the verge of bankruptcy. For this reason, non-metallic materials were preferred for all parts that could be replaced by other materials, not only were the shells used in the light guns on the battleship made of stone, but even the 12-pounder cannons on the ship were also fired solid stone shells most of the time.

It seems that the material of the stone cannonball is not powerful, but don't think that these stone balls with a perfect appearance are handicrafts polished one by one by hand, so how much labor cost do you have to pay? The intelligent races of the New World are not idiots, how can they do such a stupid thing?

Different from the old world, which was composed of a small number of stars and the gravity-free space of the vast universe, the new world is almost a flat structure that covers the world, and there are many special landforms and environments that contain natural lava lake resources, such as the underground space of the Dark Sea, where the drow elves have been entrenched for a long time.

In order to trade with the terrestrial races and balance their import and export deficits, the underground tribes lacking hard currency would periodically send people to pour the perennial molten magma from the lava lake into standard molds that had been treated with alchemical heat resistance, or use the manufacturing method of allowing the magma to drip from a high place into the water and quickly cool it into a sphere. These rough-machined lava balls are slightly polished, and a rough stone ball is instantly transformed into a stone cannonball that meets military standards. The cost of these stone shells is so low, it is not a star and a half to say that they are really inferior to metal shells of the same size!

Considering that when a solid stone projectile hits a hard target such as the hull of a battleship, the body of the projectile may shatter into countless small pieces, and its lethality is similar to the explosive effect of a shrapnel projectile, and it seems that the collateral damage to soft targets such as people on board is stronger than that of metal shells. In general, the cost performance of stone shells is no worse than that of metal shells, and it is most ideal to take the middle value in the trade-off between performance and price.

"The swing cannon is in place!"

When it was time to burn his eyebrows, Luo Zhengdao could not care about directing the artillery bombardment, and watched the sailors on the other ship begin to swing the ropes from mid-air. Boatswain Zola Hegelson took command from the deck, and he shouted at his men:

"Fire! Don't stand stupid and wait for someone to kick your ass? ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang......"

Whether it's an army or a gang of pirates, people who make a career out of violence believe in a simple rule, and the simpler and more brutal the method, the easier it is to be effective, and there is no doubt that Zola's swearing and punching and kicking significantly speed up the reaction of the sailors. Under normal circumstances, a multi-barreled rotary gun mounted only on the side of a ship looks a lot like an old-world Gatling gun, and is barely enough to shoot, much faster than a cannon that fires a shell, takes a minute and a half to two minutes to clear the chamber, and then reloads the ammunition.

Seeing that his superiority could not be turned into a victory, a wave of anxiety swelled in the heart of the warlock Najaf, and there was a large group of guards in front of him, and if he wanted to go into battle in person, he could only rely on his mouth cannon, so he shouted:

"Whoever cuts off Will Needham's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold Plantagenets!"

Luo Zhengdao spent less than 6,000 gold coins on the second-hand Yaling battleship Yangwei, including the cost of refurbishment and repositioning the artillery, and the purchasing power of the New World gold coins can also be seen. For these pirates who can't even wait for the end of the month when they don't go to sea, they will definitely spend their salaries and dividends, and they are actually "moonlight clans", 1,000 gold coins is an astronomical amount that can make them happy for many years. The eyes of these guys looking at Luo Zhengdao have changed, and even among the sailors on the Yangwei, there are inevitably a few impure balls, secretly peeking at the valuable head of their captain, who is worth a thousand gold, and I don't know what idea is in my heart.

Seeing this scene, Luo Zhengdao immediately realized the danger, took a bite without thinking, and shouted:

"I bought Najaf's life, two thousand gold coins, and I will cash it out at the sight of the person, and I will never be in arrears."

The bosses of both sides competed to offer heavy bounties to buy the lives of their opponents, and a group of minions who were responsible for the desperate work below were so excited that they couldn't help but fight hard under the temptation of the bounty. However, the goals of the two sides were opposite, and the result of the force was to bring Yi Qiē back to the starting line. On the three entangled battleships, the sailors were inextricably killed, and such a chaotic scene seemed to be only to prove that there was no intermission in this bloody tug-of-war.

Suddenly, from behind Luo Zhengdao, the sailors exclaimed in unison:

"Ahh It was the Brave who rushed over. ”

"Boom-"

Almost at the same moment when Luo Zhengdao turned around, the brig Yong, which had been sent off the battlefield in advance, was fitted with a metal ramming angle made of bronze on its bow and stabbed into the belly of the enemy ship clinging to the left side of the Yangwei, and with the appearance of this large hole, an unknown liquid flowing from the two metal conduits above the ramming horn of the Yong was injected into the damaged hold of the opposing ship. Immediately after, the sailors shouted in unison, and the hull of the Brave shook back with a slam. At this moment, a torch was seen thrown from the hands of the one-eyed dragon captain Faure Chopin and fell towards the breach in the belly of the enemy ship.

"Bang-"

With the help of the strong winds of the Aether Sea and the oil poured into the ship's hold, the small flames caused by the torches suddenly rose high, and after a few breaths, these fast-paced orange fires ignited the sail rigging on the deck.

Seeing the ship beneath his feet turn into a fiery furnace, the sailors on the paddle ship naturally lost their fighting spirit, and they climbed into the dinghy with a shout and prepared to flee. This situation is like a group of rats racing to escape by diving before the ship sinks, lest they go one step too late, and turn around and be mercilessly swallowed by the raging fire and become the burial object of this rotten ship.

"Quick, cut the rope and don't let the fire burn."

As a veteran pirate, Zola Hegel knows all the ins and outs of naval warfare, just as he knows the flowers and plants in his own yard, and how to survive dangerous situations is a must for a pirate. I saw him fly up and kick an enemy sailor who was on fire, and was wailing and crawling from the burning enemy ship to the Yangwei, and then beckoned the sailors to push the opponent's ship aside with a pole to fend for themselves, so as to prevent the fire of the enemy ship from spreading to the Yangwei.

Witnessing their own defeat, the two galleys were like frightened hares, and without saying a word, they turned their bows and fled the battlefield without hesitation.

On the flagship of the black-robed warlock Najaf, the lookout looked around for a moment, then gestured to inform his companions of what had happened.

"Well, what are you talking about, he actually came, damn it."

Knowing from the boatswain that the situation had changed, Najaf stared at the Majesty with reluctance, and finally he made a reluctant downward gesture and said in a hoarse voice:

"Enough, let's retreat!"

The ropes, anchor chains, and gangplanks that connected the two ships were cut with knives and axes, and the two galleys under Najaf's command turned in like a fly. Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao was completely confused, and muttered:

"This guy is coming and going, what is he playing?"

Vina Dubov, who had descended to the gun deck to direct the battle during the battle, also appeared in front of Luo Zhengdao at this time, and she reminded with a stern expression:

"Will, don't delay here, the goblin fleet could chase after them at any time, they are not as easy to deal with as the gang of miscellaneous fish that Najaf brought with him."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao nodded from the goodness, in fact, he didn't have time to think about more issues at this moment, he instructed the people on the left and right and said:

"Listen, everyone, clean up the battlefield immediately, and we will also prepare to evacuate."
