Chapter 719: The Tiger Falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs
Blackbeard's notoriety can spread all over the seven seas, and it has to be said that he does have something beyond ordinary people, and he still maintains his composure as his flagship continues to be shot and splintered wood flying.
After more than ten minutes, Blackbeard's wait finally paid off, and with a sneer on his messy bearded face, he directly controlled the 'Queen Anne Avenger' and headed for the harbor of Shipwreck Bay.
Facing the attack of shore guns, the Queen Anne Avenger followed a safe course into the harbor of Shipwreck Bay, and when it came into range, the two Greek Spitfires on the bow opened fire.
This type of fire, called Greek fire, is made mainly of light petroleum with a small specific gravity, and a certain proportion of flammable substances such as sulfur, asphalt, rosin, and resin are mixed with a certain percentage of the production, and dissolved into a liquid with excellent combustion performance by heating.
The most terrifying thing about Greek fire is that it is not extinguished when exposed to water, it can float and burn on the water, and it is very easy to attach to enemy ships or soldiers who have fallen overboard.
Li Nan used this thing in the world of ice and fire, when he was fighting against the Alien Legion, but the Greek fire there was called wildfire.
Blackbeard laughed wildly as he steered the helm of the flagship, turning the direction of the ship's bow, and the two dragons shot out of Greek fire swept over the pirate who was controlling the shore artillery.
A large number of pirates have become burning men, some of them are running around screaming in pain, some have jumped into the sea, and some have been directly killed by the ignited gunpowder, and the shores of Shipwreck Bay are now hell on earth.
Hundreds of powerful shore guns were all dumbed after being swept away by Greek fire, and not only pirates and gunpowder were ignited, but even the metal cannons were spewed out of the fuel, and then they burst into flames.
Dealing with the damned guns and the pirates on the shore, Blackbeard swerved around and approached the docks of Shipwreck Bay, where hundreds of powerful soul-recovering corpses jumped off the ship.
Blackbeard imagines the Pirate Convention too simply, a world-class pirate organization that has been around for years.
Although the Pirate Convention was attacked by the shadow army of the Shadow Lord Morgan last time, and suffered heavy casualties, it was because the enemy had no entity and was not afraid of physical attacks.
This time it's different, although the soul corpses are also undead creatures, they are just like the zombies refined by Li Nan, and they can't be combined after being chopped up.
After these corpses landed, hundreds of fierce old pirates poured out of the hundred-meter-high ship building in Shipwreck Bay, and several cannons were pushed out on each floor.
Solid cannonballs, chain shells, scattered bullets, stone shells, all kinds of cannonballs covered the path of the corpses rushing forward, and some of the undead with thick skin and thick flesh were shattered, and some of their limbs were blown off.
The corpses had no feelings, and although they suffered heavy casualties, they continued to rush forward without fear under the cover of artillery fire, but the face of the blackbeard who stood on the bow of the ship and commanded became ugly.
Each ship needs a fixed personnel to operate, the difference is only a few people, in addition to the sailors, in general, a large number of combat sailors and gunners are needed on the ship.
Li Nan's 'Aquaman' was a first-class battleship with a capacity of 850 men, and Blackbeard's 'Queen Anne Avenger' was a converted frigate from a merchant ship with a crew of 278.
Blackbeard's ship had been under cannon fire before landing, and forty or fifty Soul Returning Corpses had already been killed and injured in the process, and not long ago he had sent hundreds of Soul Returning Corpses to land and fight.
At this time, the hundred soul corpses were about to be wiped out, and Blackbeard now had only two choices, continue to send people ashore to fight, or evacuate just like that.
The sober-minded Angelica saw Blackbeard hesitate, and hurriedly persuaded: "Father, the pirates have more men than us, and they still occupy the advantage of defense, let's withdraw!" ”
Although he was very unwilling in his heart, and Blackbeard was unwilling to break his oath and escape, he could only grit his teeth and retreat at the thought of the terrible consequences of falling into the hands of the Pirate Assembly again.
The Queen Anne Avenger turned its bow and set sail to leave Shipwreck Cove for another day, but he forgot one thing. This is Shipwreck Bay, not a desert island where you can come and go freely.
Shipwreck Bay is the stronghold of pirates, and there is a clear provision in the Pirate Code: "When Shipwreck Bay or the Pirate Council is attacked by the enemy, any pirate must come to the rescue without conditions." If someone knows about it and doesn't come to war, they will be attacked by all the pirates afterwards! ”
As Blackbeard begins to attack, Codex Guardian Teague blows the magic conch.
This magical conch is also a treasure of the Pirate Council, and it has only one function: 'No matter how far away, even on the other side of the world, when someone blows this conch, all pirates belonging to the Pirate Council will receive a summoning order.' ’
When the Queen Anne Avenger was about to evacuate, seven or eight pirate ships that responded to the summoning order appeared in the fog and blocked Blackbeard's back path.
Although not everyone has seen Blackbeard, who has lived in seclusion for many years, all pirates have heard of his legend. Therefore, these pirate ships all adopted the wandering tactic, avoiding the 'Queen Anne Avenger', and only attacking with artillery within range.
The Queen Anne Avenger is not the Black Pearl that cannot be damaged when cursed, nor is it the Flying Dutchman that can absorb the flesh and soul of an enemy and restore itself.
After a long and fierce attack by the fire cannons on the shore of the shipwreck, it is now besieged by more and more pirate ships, and now this legendary pirate ship has broken walls everywhere, and more than a dozen cannons on the ship have also been damaged by cannonballs.
Blackbeard repeatedly tried to get close to the enemy ships and take advantage of his flagship's broadside combat, but the incoming pirates were clearly guarding against this, turning around and running as soon as the Queen Anne Avenger got closer.
Li Nan, who was hiding in the sea in the distance, saw Blackbeard's 'Queen Anne Avenger', like a sick tiger, besieged by a group of jackal-like pirate ships, and if this trend continued, Blackbeard would be defeated.
Angelica was still on the boat, and Li Nan couldn't be indifferent when he saw this.
took out the Valyrian steel full-body armor from the storage space, quickly put it on his body, and after putting on the fully enclosed helmet, Li Nan patted the blue whale under him and said, "Friend, it's time for us to appear!" ”
In the foggy sea, artillery fire was flying, and Blackbeard and the pirates, who were fighting fiercely, did not notice that the huge black shadow in the sea was stealthily approaching.
Blackbeard commanded the soul corpse to open fire, and at the same time controlled the rudder to avoid the enemy's artillery fire, and shouted at Angelica with a grim face: "First mate, how is the damage to the ship?" ”
Angelica, who was covered in water, climbed out of the cabin and replied anxiously: "Report to the captain, there are already two leaks in the bilge, although we have blocked it, but we can't hold on for long!" ”
"Got it!" Blackbeard naturally knew the seriousness of the ship's leakage, so a trace of remorse already appeared in his heart.
