Chapter 51: The Birth of a Sniper
The night covers the sea, the sky is deep blue, the sea is like ink, and the moonlight shines through the clouds, casting a faint veil over the sea.
A small sampan is quietly lowered, the wooden oars are rowed, the conical bottom of the boat cuts through the "tulle", the ripples are spread, and with the help of the tide, the sampan sails forward like an arrow.
There are only six people on the sampan: Ding Xiaoyi, a sniper, Zhao Lie, an observer, and four oarsmen (boatmen) with strong arms.
Ding Xiaoqi looked at the little sampan carrying the two most important people in his life and drifted away, grabbed Wang Ping'an's rough big hand tightly, and muttered: "Uncle Wang, you say, will Brother Zhao and Sister Zhao have anything to do?" ”
Wang Ping'an patted Ding Xiaoyi's head with his other hand: "It's okay." As long as you choose a good direction, hit and run, the big ship is difficult to turn around, and you can't catch up in a short distance. Feel relieved. ”
Ma Nanchun shook his head secretly, he was not very optimistic about such a move. Cold gun sneak attack, unless you can kill the leader of Chen Yi or Li Hao, only kill some small minions, what role can it play? It's just that in this part of the action, Zhao Hunt has always been the main one, and he can't say anything. Who made the weapons all Zhao Hunt, and there are also several people who are most familiar with the use of weapons.
Jueyuan was also shaking his head, but this monk was purely compassionate and compassionate, and when he saw that these two people were going to kill again, he sighed and was speechless.
Only Yang Zheng's eyes flashed and his expression was excited. The Black Crow is a secret intelligence organization, and the Dark Claw takes the route of secret attack and sabotage. Zhao Lie and Ding Xiaoyi's cold gun behavior is secretly in line with the purpose of the Dark Claw Organization. In Yang Zheng's sign language, it was "just what I wanted". Not to mention, these two new ways of fighting opened his eyes and completely opened the door to a new world. Yang Zheng made up his mind, this is the case, whether you buy it or ask for it, you must get a weapon like this and bring it back to the leader, to the sect master, and to the young master. If the black crow or even the Jiang family army can have such a sharp weapon in their hands, why be afraid of the Mongolian Tartar?
Zhao Lie didn't have time to pay attention to the thoughts of everyone on the ship, he was strictly performing his duties as an observer, carefully observing the direction of the two pirate ships.
The pirate ship did not drop anchor, but constantly adjusted its sails as the wind direction changed, slowly cruising on the sea, and the distance between it and the merchant ship was always maintained at a distance of more than 100 zhang. Zhao Lie targeted Chen Yi's ship, if he was lucky......
"If the pirate leader still comes out and hangs around like he did that day, I'll shoot him." Ding Xiaoyi said indignantly while compacting the projectile with a strip.
"Don't think about it, it's a big night, unless Chen Yi gets up and pees at night......"
It's really a pot that can't be opened. Ding Xiaoyi was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to slap Zhao Hunt in the face with the paper-wrapped medicine in her hand.
The boatman who was rowing behind didn't dare to laugh, so he said carefully: "Zhao Guanren, there is a night pot in the cabin." Unless you are on duty, you generally don't need to pee in the sea - the wind direction in this sea can change at any time, and it is easy to wet your shoes......"
If it weren't for the wrong time and place, Zhao Lie would almost laugh out loud, but it was easy to hold back, and he turned his head and said: "Okay, use the strength of your voice to row the boat, listen to my orders, and row with all your might." ”
"Yes, yes." These shipwrights abandoned Zhao Lie and others first, but they were rescued by others, and Titi was ashamed. This will basically be the only order of Zhao Hunting, and he will be regarded as the owner of the ship.
"Wait, wait...... Okay, now is it. Scratch! ”
Zhao Lie didn't lean over recklessly, it wasn't killing the enemy but looking for death, the time he was waiting for was the moment when the two ships were running away from each other, and immediately stuck to it as fast as possible, and launched a sniper attack on the pirates from the stern of the ship. Before the pirate ship can react, turn around and evacuate. The so-called "boat is good to turn around", in turn, the boat is naturally difficult to turn around. By the time the enemy ship turned around and pursued, he was already far away.
The effective range of the shotgun is 80 paces, that is, about 100 meters, which is a distance that can kill unarmored targets. At this time, pirates are mostly single-clothed, which is an effective target for shotguns. As a front-loading smoothbore gun, the shotgun is not as airtight as shotguns and pistols, but it also has its own advantages. It has a small caliber and a long barrel, which allows it to shoot at targets at a greater distance. Although the round projectile is not as stable as the spiral cone bullet when flying, and the hit rate is not high, because of this, the cavity effect after hitting the human body is more terrible, not to mention that this is still a lead bullet......
After visually measuring the distance and mentally arithmetic, Zhao Lie pointed towards the mast: "Do you see the person on the lookout on the mast?" Hit him first. ”
At this time, the night is getting thicker, the sea is foggy, the moonlight is lighter, and the lights of the pirate ship are particularly dazzling. In this case, if you get close to seventy or eighty meters, you have a good chance of not being detected, but you can't get closer.
Ding Xiaoyi nodded silently, hooked his ankle to the rope and stepped steadily, fixed his body, then took a deep breath, held it between his chest and lungs, and slowly raised the gun.
Several of the boatmen couldn't help but slow down, watching the girl's back and the long barrel of the gun with bated breath.
Zhao Hunter didn't reply, and raised his palm to slap on the side of the ship. Several boatmen were shocked and hurriedly increased the frequency of the oars.
"Seventy-five steps...... Seventy steps ......" Zhao Lie whispered the distance, which was the only thing he could do as an observer. Moreover, the step distance he reported was still estimated, and there was an error of at least two or three steps.
Zhao Lie is not a professional observer, and Ding Xiaoyi is not holding a sniper rifle in his hand, so what is the wind speed, humidity, distance, and adjustment...... None of them.
Zhao Lie only relied on experience.
Ding Xiaoyi relies on talent.
Bang!
The light of the fire flickered in the mist, and the sound of gunfire was obscured by the rushing tide of the sea.
Zhao Lie saw clearly that the lookout hand did not fall, but was looking around.
First shot, miss.
In the darkness, Zhao Lie's voice sounded coldly: "Ignore it, continue to reload." ”
Ding Xiaoyi bit his lip, skillfully fumbled with the cartridge pot, took out the paper bag from it to set the load, and tore the paper bag with his mouth: pouring the medicine, stuffing the bullet, compacting, charging, and once again raising the gun...... The whole action is done in one go, and it is not affected by the darkness in the slightest.
"Sixty-five steps...... Zhao Lie's tone was still calm.
The fingers caught the board machine, and with a hard buckle, the flint scratched sparks splashed - bang!
The target was still alive and kicking, and was still pointing in their direction, shouting something at their fellow on deck.
The second shot, another mistake.
The pirates apparently sensed that something was wrong, and a commotion began on board.
Zhao Lie was still unwavering: "Go on." ”
The sea breeze blew strongly, pulling out a strand of Ding Xiaoyi's hair wrapped in a turban, brushing through the front door, Ding Xiaoyi opened his mouth and bit it, biting so tightly, so hard, as if it was not biting the hair but the target's throat. With a shake of his hand, he took out the paper bag again.
The boatmen were almost suffocated with nervousness, eight hands were shaking mechanically, the waves were crashing against the small sampans, the cold waves were splashing on everyone's bodies, and everyone's body temperature was dropping sharply.
"Sixty Steps ......"
Ding Xiaoyi could hear it clearly, and the sound must have been squeezed out from between his teeth.
Ding Xiaoyi gritted his silver teeth, took a long breath, put the butt of the gun against his shoulder for the third time, took aim with bated breath, and was ruthless in his heart: "Ding Xiaoyi, this is your last chance, if you can't hit again, don't dream of being a sniper in your life......"
The breath seems to be still, the waves seem to freeze, even the sea breeze seems to stop, the boat is lifted to the highest point by the waves, and then it freezes still, and everything in the world is frozen at this moment.
That's right! That's how it feels.
Bang!
On the top of the mast of the enemy ship, a dark shadow fell heavily, dragging a long tail that pierced the silence of the night.
Zhao Lie picked up the wooden paddle at his feet and only said, "Go!" ”
The ten oars moved in unison, and the small sampan quickly turned around and sank into the thick black fog.
Ding Xiaoyi only felt that his whole body seemed to be drained, and he couldn't even lift the gun, so he slowly paused the gun on the boat, and opened his mouth slightly, letting the sea breeze blow freely. Looking back at the pirate ship, a pair of clear eyes reflected the anxious torches, and the figure in a hurry; There is all kinds of chaos and noise in the ears, and it is gradually distant, and it is inaudible......
