"Big helm, big boss, we have too many dead and wounded brothers, too many!" Chen Yi's brother, Li Hao, a hundred sailors and a frontal attacking pirate ship, is at the helm. Five big and three thick men, this will be messy hair, red eyes, stumbling in the door, just about to cry, but startled by the scene in front of him.

But seeing their big helm and the leader of the dragon, his expression was languishing at the moment, Chiguo's upper body, thick white cloth strips wrapped around his shoulders, faintly bleeding blood, and a strong and pungent smell of medicine filled the cabin.

"Big, big helm, what are you...... How did you get hurt? ”

"If you don't notice it for a while, you will be plotted by the kid, and you will break some flesh and skin, and you will not get in the way." Chen Yi's always oily face was a little sallow at this time, but his spirit was fine, and he looked at Li Hao, "Old Five, you are also injured." ”

Li Hao touched the arch of his eyebrows that had congealed blood clots, and shook his head: "It's okay." Just pricked by the splattered stubble, but the other brothers ......"

Chen Yi's face twitched: "How many dead and injured?" ”

"Including those who were not salvaged, a total of twenty-seven brothers died, nineteen were seriously injured, and eight were lightly injured......" Li Hao said and lowered his head, his voice hoarse, "I'm afraid that few of the seriously injured will survive......"

Chen Yi closed his eyes, and in just half a burn of incense, he lost more than forty brothers, including his nephews and several powerful generals, and the warship was disabled.

In the cabin, Chen Yi's other disciple, Zuo Scar, who commanded another warship, asked Zuo Scar, who commanded another warship, "Old Five, you are close, can you see what kind of weapon it is?" ”

Li Hao shook his head: "I saw a few iron pipes, some thick and some thin, some long and some short, which can breathe fire and smoke, shoot out iron sand and steel balls......"

"Steel balls?" Chen Yi seemed to think of something, "Take it and take a look." ”

"This is what I just took from a few brothers, please take a look at the helm with the third brother." Li Hao said as he presented a bag of blood-stained steel balls and gray-black iron sand.

Zuo Scar picked up the iron sand and gasped: "How can such a small thing hit so far?" How much penetration? ”

Chen Yi picked up the steel ball, only glanced at it, then took out a cloth corner from his arms and opened it, revealing a steel ball the size of a soybean. It's the same as the blood-stained steel ball in front of you. At this moment, he finally understood the true cause of death of the thirteen bandits of Yongji Temple. When encountering such a terrible weapon, even if you are capable, you can only be beaten into a honeycomb, no wonder.

Zuo Scar looked at the injured Chen Yi, their big helmsman was standing twenty zhang away at the time, and the sea breeze was howling, and the ship was swaying, and he actually got hit, and reminded at the moment: "Their fire-breathing iron pipe can hit a long distance, and it is not affected by the wind, which is better than a strong bow." Old Five, you have to be careful when you enter and exit, and bring a shield to protect you. When you get back, you can retreat the boat to a hundred feet away. ”

The use of bows and crossbows in naval warfare is usually not effective, except for long-range weapons such as bed crossbows, arrows with wings are generally greatly affected by the wind, and it is good to shoot at short distances or downwind, and crosswind and headwind will deviate as soon as they are shot. Therefore, the common weapon used by pirates is melee short soldiers, and even long soldiers are rarely used, let alone bows and crossbows. It's not that pirates don't understand how long an inch is strong or that they don't understand the benefits of long-range attacks, it's that they don't apply.

If the opponent's firearms are not affected by the wind (in fact, they are also affected, but not as much as the arrows) and hit so far, it is terrible to think about.

Syllable! Chen Yi slapped the table and startled the two younger brothers: "Let's get this baby!" ”

His two younger brothers were still a little confused, and subconsciously said: "Yes, we have to take the baby back......

"I'm not talking about gold and silver treasures, I'm talking about firearms!"

"Ahh Zuo Scar and Li Hao stared at each other, and after a few seconds, all four eyes lit up at the same time, and they slapped their thighs together, "That's right!" This baby, we have to grab it! ”

The other party was only eight people, and with this powerful weapon, he destroyed one of their ships, and even forced their 100 men and two warships to retreat. If they get this weapon, will there be any opponents in this area? With a strong force in their hands, even the Mongols have to look up to them.

"Their weapons are indeed powerful, but their weakness is also obvious, that is, there are too few people." Chen Yi's palm holding the steel ball slowly closed, and there was a touch of redness in his eyes, "We still have one hundred and fifty or sixty people, and if we beat him one by twenty, we don't believe that we can't win." ”

"That's right! Let's fight to kill another boatload of people, and we must snatch this treasure over! At the thought of being able to take that sharp weapon for themselves, Zuo Scar and Li Hao suddenly felt itchy, and that heat was three points better than Chen Yi.

Chen Yi smiled gloomily: "It's a boatload of people who want to die, but it's not our people." ”

……

In the merchant ship, everyone has a big bowl in their hands at the moment, and they are discussing it hotly while picking up rice in their mouths.

Teenagers such as Zhang Junbao, Grasshopper, and Kuromaru came and went with hot meals from time to time. Every time I went in and out, my envious eyes were cast on the long and short guns that everyone was holding on to.

"Zhao Tou shot fiercely for the first time." It was Shi Yang who spoke, who was gnawing on a fish, biting off half of the fish head hard, and using chopsticks to pick it up to show everyone, "Just like this fish head, that skull flies far." ”

Wang Ping'an swallowed a mouthful of bacon, and laughed: "Xiao Shi, you are not bad, the strongest guy was shot through the chest by you, and by the way, the ladder was also crushed." It's equivalent to killing four or five pirates at once. ”

Ding Xiaoqi even more eyebrows danced: "I fired three shots, and the guns all hit the pirates." Also, did you see, a pirate saw me shoot, and he was so frightened that he ran away, but he was swept into the knee and rolled straight from the side of the ship......"

"You don't hold each other's favors, your three shotguns are the main crossfire on the flanks. In the middle of the battle, you all forgot to report the change of ammunition. Zhao Lie glared at Ding Xiaoqi as he spoke, "You are usually the most powerful person in shouting and shouting, but now that you are really fighting, the bullets have fallen to the ground." Well? ”

Ding Xiaoqi buried his head in the bowl in shame and picked up the rice vigorously. Don't look at his current energy, he looks like a big stab pointing at where to hit, just because he was too nervous or scared, he trembled several times when reloading and didn't fill the barrel, and the shotgun fell to the ground. If it weren't for Ma Nanchun's timely filling of the position and firing several shots in a row, plugging the gap in firepower, maybe he would have broken through a hole by pirates.

Zhao Lie easily didn't get angry with his partner, but Ding Xiaoyi's previous mistake was too dangerous, and this kid didn't know the height of the sky, so he had to bluff and reprimand him.

Ma Nanchun said slowly: "If you want to say that you play well, Little Lady Ding has always been very calm, especially the cold gun is really good." ”

Ding Xiaoyi's face flushed, and he raised his hand to straighten his sideburns: "It's a pity that I didn't hit the vital ......"

Zhao Lie smiled secretly: "It doesn't matter, as long as he is shot, no matter where he hits, if he can't take it out in time...... Hehe, he'll regret why he didn't respond to my death prophecy earlier. ”

In the end, Zhao Lie concluded: "There are about two hundred pirates, and Chen Yi is not bragging, even if it is insufficient, it is almost the same. We defeated at least a quarter of the pirates in our first battle, and this battle was basically as expected. Playing at this pace, who would dare to say that we can't win? Taking a step back, if you can't win, you can at least push back the pirates. ”

Everyone nodded frequently, and their confidence soared.

When Zhao Lie and others were discussing the gains and losses of the first battle, the other two people in the cabin: Jueyuan with a stick and Yang Zheng with a knife in both hands, were still immersed in shock. The two of them were ready to fight the enemy at any time, and even made up their minds to die, but the result was that nothing happened to them from beginning to end. Because they have seen more things, the shock in their hearts at this moment is only worse than that of Chen Yi and other pirates.

Zhao Lie looked around at his companions, and he believed that after the test of this naval battle with great disparity between friend and foe, his tactical team had finally taken shape.

"Everyone understands that this battle is a difficult test for each and every one of you. But I hope it's a tempering ......," Zhao Liegang said this, suddenly interrupted by a howl outside.

"Who's crying outside?"

"Who else, that fat ...... That Bi Zhuang master. Zhang Junbao, who was on guard outside the cabin, heard his voice, and his tone suddenly changed, "Hurry up, come out and see, the pirates have escorted all the shipwrights and Zhuang Ding of the merchant ship out!" ”
