Chapter 155: Shelling
"Push the iron cannons through!"
At this time, Ma Laosan gritted his teeth, calculated the angle, made up his mind, and waved his hand suddenly, letting the gunners push the iron cannon towards the pirate ship.
As the gunners pushed the iron cannons into range, the ship's iron cannons opened fire first, and one shell after another smashed down with firelight.
Ma Laosan chose the angle and direction that the gunners entered, forming an angle with the pirate ship, only the two iron cannons on a pirate ship could reach the range, but at this range, it was difficult for the two iron cannons to hit the first shot.
As the gunners dragged the cannons into place, the pirate captain gave the order, and the seven cannons fired the cannonballs, and even smashed one of the cannons on the ship, killing several pirates.
There was chaos on the deck, and the pirates dragged the other cannons to the bow of the ship, trying to increase its firepower.
At this time, Cheng Kong rushed over with a group of spearmen, but due to the mutual bombardment of the iron cannons on both sides, not a single shell fell on their heads.
When Cheng Kong climbed the rope net, Ma Laosan ordered the gunners to evacuate, and the loss was not nothing, and an iron cannon was smashed into scrap iron by a shell.
As the gunners withdrew, the iron cannons on the ship suddenly fell silent, and those iron cannons without gunners were immediately no longer their targets, and Cheng Kong and the gunners who climbed up the rock, the iron cannons were no longer within reach.
As Cheng Kong pressed the ship's side and jumped onto the deck, a fierce battle broke out.
Cheng Kong relied on his strength, and the big bow in his hand became a life-seeking weapon, and a pirate raised a knife to pounce, but Cheng Kong put a bowstring on his neck and pulled it gently. The head fell to the ground suddenly.
There was no doubt that a dozen pirates and twenty gunners were delusional enough to suppress eight spearmen from climbing onto the side of the ship.
After a heart-wrenching battle. The pirate ship was lost.
The pirate gunners under Ma Laosan couldn't wait to get on the ship and search for the corpses.
This battle was not without losses, at least the iron cannon that Ma Laosan lost was enough to make him feel pain.
If there is a loss, there is a gain, Ma Laosan lost an iron cannon, but after capturing this pirate ship, he pocketed all the ten iron cannons that survived on the ship, and he only needed to buy some gunners.
After this battle, the pirates looted enough items to exchange for thousands of gold coins. It's not like you run out of money to buy some gunners.
Ma Laosan then piled all the iron cannons on the stern of the ship, and since the pirates were unwilling to disembark, the next battle was settled.
Artillery battle with the opposing side. The iron cannons piled up at the stern of the ship had the longest-range range just enough to envelop the nearby pirate ships.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was busy with artillery battles, Cheng Kong took Ma Laosan, and the spearmen easily touched the pirate ship in the middle.
Ma Laosan had not been directly involved in the battle before, so he had barely absorbed the Evolution Light Sphere. In this battle. As soon as Ma Laosan stepped onto the deck, he immediately became powerful, and a collision directly killed a pirate on the spot.
Cheng Kong was standing on the side of the ship, with arrows like beads, and every time he shot out, he rescued the gunmen in distress.
This battle took only about ten minutes, and just after harvesting the spoils, Ma Laosan concocted the same method and got off the boat.
There is no need to go into details, in short, the iron cannon attracts firepower. Cheng Kong and the others climbed up and entered the fight.
Although two tax collectors were killed in battle. But the spearmen all became stronger.
As soon as the battle ended, Ma Laosan ordered a frenzied plunder, and when the corpse was decomposed into an evolutionary light ball and integrated into the body, Ma Laosan could no longer control the expansion of the power of evolution, and the brilliance revealed out of the body, forming a light cocoon that enveloped Ma Laosan inside.
I don't know what will happen to the evolution of the old horse this time? Looking at Ma Laosan's painful look that gradually disappeared in the brilliance, Cheng Kong's face was a little expectant.
Compared with receiving a subordinate, Ma Laosan and himself are closer to allies, after the two days of fighting, the relationship has grown by leaps and bounds, no wonder there are three iron sayings, and the two are barely comrades-in-arms.
After a long time, the light cocoon slowly dissipated, revealing that it was still a centaur, but the problem was that the muscles of this centaur were more than twice as large as before, and the most important thing was that he had an extra pair of hands, one hand carrying two bows and arrows, and the other hand holding two spears.
Four-armed men? Four weapons? That's a little too powerful, isn't it? Cheng Kong felt that his thinking was a little messy.
Could it be that this is Ma Laosan's own evolution? Cheng Kong walked over and asked, "Ma Lao Sanxing, amazing, can you show me the tag?" ”
Ma Laosan was happily adapting to the extra pair of arms at this time, and it was obvious that this pair of arms would strengthen his combat power by more than a little or two.
Hearing what Cheng Kong said, Ma Laosan smiled and said, "Okay." As he spoke, he took the tag off his neck, stared at it himself, and then handed it to Cheng Kong.
Cheng Kong looked at the back of the tag, which was engraved with an image of four hands holding spears and bows and arrows crossed.
The front of the tag is an introduction to the ability.
Second-level treasures, four-armed centaur tags, with their own ability to base dual-purpose, you can use spears and bows at the same time, or two spears, or two bows and arrows to attack the enemy, each weapon is 60% of the normal state, constant ability basic navigation, sea movement increased by 50%. Constant ability is based on the Ship Summoning Technique, with a 50% chance of summoning a ship, and the size is random. Constant Ability Basic Water Resistance reduces water damage taken by 30%.
Cheng Kong was almost stunned when he saw it, if he wanted to talk about the bonus to combat effectiveness, the ability listed on the four-armed centaur tag was not strong, holding two bows and arrows, it only increased the combat power by twenty percent, and there was no archery ability.
Cheng Kong threw the tag back to Ma Laosan, and said with a weird smile on his face: "Old Ma, come and try your archery skills." ”
Ma Laosan was in a state of excitement with two more arms at this time, and when he heard Cheng Kong's laughter, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again.
Under the orders of Ma Laosan, the two gunners quickly erected a target in the bow of the ship, which was made of pried-down deck wood, and made it very conspicuous, on which several rings were drawn according to the regular target.
Ma Laosan, who was standing thirty meters away, was full of confidence, and then pulled out two big bows, and after taking a slight aim, he released the bowstring.
The sound of the two great bowstrings vibrating together made a buzzing sound, and the sharp arrows came out of the strings.
But when he looked at the target again, Ma Laosan was stunned, and then rubbed his eyes violently, looking at the target in disbelief.
Off target, out of target.
Cheng Kong looked at it and laughed, there is no doubt that he can use two weapons to attack the enemy at the same time, but the problem is that Ma Laosan is not proficient in archery, it is conceivable that a guy who has only come into contact with a bow and arrow, no matter what his strength is, it is difficult to hit the target with an arrow that shoots out, even if the target is at the most suitable distance for shooting.
