The flyship is like a dragon trapped in the shallows in the strait, and the speed and maneuverability can play three achievements are good, but when it sails into the sea, the boundless sea immediately becomes a battlefield for the flyship to hunt.

If the Nine Ghost Jialong could see the Mongolian cavalry fighting through the millennium, he would immediately understand what Zhen Qian was going to do.

The ancient Romans called it the tactic of archery by the Sabbatarians, in which the mounted archers shot arrows at the enemy behind while fleeing. At the heart of this tactic is to feign a rout and induce the enemy to pursue, and the essence of this tactic is speed and suddenness. The Mongols called this method of warfare: Mangugu.

The essence of this tactic is as follows: first, to attack the enemy from a long distance, second, to continuously attack the enemy, and third, not to give the enemy a chance to fight back.

And the flyship in Zhen Qian's hand is just suitable for this tactic, if it is in the strait, this tactic has no room to be used at all, it will be slowly squeezed by the enemy, until it loses the space to move, and defeat is only a matter of time.

However, on the sea, this tactic is infinitely magnified, and it is even more suitable for exerting its greatest power than the open grassland.

Although the Nine Ghosts Jialong didn't know what the Sabbatarian archery method was, he still felt a burst of danger when he found that the chased flyship suddenly hit the pirate ship one after another when the two sides were close to each other.

This time, the distance between the flyship and the pirate ship was shortened to within a hundred steps, and immediately countless thunderbolts shot out from the flyship and landed on the pirate ship that was approaching behind him, and the roar immediately exploded on the pirate ship, and in a moment, three pirate ships lost the strength to continue the pursuit, and even one pirate ship showed signs of sinking.

This scene is still unfolding, the flyship and the pirate ship seem to be like adults and children racing and playing, the children have done their best, but the adults are at their fingertips, wave after wave of blows as if performing on the stage, but it is just a cup of tea, and seven or eight of them have been attacked by the flyship.

Even if the Nine Ghosts Jialong was stupid, he found out that something was wrong, the flyship had no idea of escaping at all, and his original judgment was completely wrong.

The dragon enters the sea and the fish swims in the abyss, which is now.

The combat power of the flyship completely exploded at this moment, although the number of pirate ships was dozens of times that of the flyship, but no pirate ship could catch up with the flyship, as long as the flyship did not rush to death, it was only a matter of time to destroy these pirate ships.

Watching the pirate ships being damaged or sunk by the flyships, the heart of the Nine Ghosts Jialong was dripping blood, but there was nothing they could do.

As long as the Nine Ghosts Jialong does not give up the pursuit, this massacre is destined not to end.

"Retreat!" Nine Ghost Jia Long popped out two words from between his teeth, although he was unwilling in his heart, but he understood even more that once these pirates were eliminated by Zhen Qian, he would not be far from death.

"All pirates withdraw to the strait!"

Nine Ghost Jialong was bitter in his heart, this battle was a complete defeat, and he was annoyed with unwillingness, and he didn't know when the next opportunity would be.

The pirates had already retreated, this kind of battle made them feel aggrieved, the flyship was only fifty or sixty steps away from the pirate ship, but it was such a short distance, it could be seen but not hit, even if the pirate ship had hundreds of bows and crossbows, but found that it did not pose much of a threat to the flyship at all, which made the pirates about to go crazy.

The pirate ship retreated towards the exit of the strait, and the panic was like a plate of scattered sand, and no pirate had the idea of stopping the airship. These pirates thought in their hearts that Zhen Qian did not dare to enter the strait, as long as he could escape into the strait, he would be safe.

The truth is similar to what these pirates think, but they forget one thing, and that is that a pirate in the sand is not enough to pose any threat to the flyship.

Suddenly the sea changed on the surface, and the pirates, who were chasing the flyer one moment, began to turn around and flee into the strait the next.

Nothing is decided by subjective will, even if the Nine Ghosts Jialong orders a retreat, it depends on whether Zhen Qian is willing or not. When to start a war is not for Zhen Qian to decide, but when to make a truce, you have to ask Zhen Qian if he is willing.

"Run! Then we'll chase it! ”

The flyship immediately turned its bow and followed behind the pirate ship, and one after another thunderbolts were fired at the fleeing pirate ship in front.

For a while, the rumbling explosions were heard on the sea, and the sea was full of all kinds of garbage, including sails, blown up decks, and strange daily necessities, and even a pirate struggling to survive on the sea, which could not last half an hour in the icy waters of winter.

Nine Ghost Jialong's heart was bleeding, and he didn't dare to look back, which would make him completely lose confidence.

At this moment, Zhen Qian's heart was also worrying, the war was only halfway through, and more than half of the thunderbolts on the ship had been consumed. When these thunderbolts were first sold to Shao Er Dongshang, the highest price reached eighty yuan, and later it was reduced to fifty yuan, but the problem is that the production cost of thunderbolt bombs is not low, after finding saltpeter mines and sulfur mines, the production cost has been reduced from three times to the usual five hundred wen each, even if it is a simplified version of the miniature grenade, it costs three or four hundred wen each.

This time, Zhen Qian came to the Osumi Islands, and deployed 1,000 thunderbolts on each flywheel, and it seemed that if he continued to fight, all the thunderbolts on the flywheels would be used differently, and all the pirate ships could be wiped out.

In fact, such a large consumption also has the reason that the shooting accuracy is not high and the power of the thunderbolt is not great, although the pirate ship lacks long-range weapons, but it is not a stationary target in the chase, fighting in motion, even if Zhen Jiu has shortened the launch distance to within a hundred steps, but the real hit rate is less than fifty percent.

A slightly larger pirate ship, even if it is directly hit by ten thunderbolts, can still continue to escape as long as it is not damaged by important structures.

Usually more than fifty or sixty thunderbolts need to be fired at this time to actually sink the pirate ship, or lose the ability to sail.

As soon as Zhen Qian thought that the three thousand thunderbolts were gone, he couldn't wait to personally spread them and tear off a piece of meat from the Nine Ghost Jialong, which was four or five thousand yuan! This does not include the loss of bows, arrows, muskets, etc., Zhen Qian's flesh hurts in this battle, and his heart is also dripping blood.

War is indeed a beast that swallows gold!

Zhen Qian is also heartbroken by Zhen Jiu, but his heartache is not about money, he is heartache about why there are no more thunderbolts on the ship.

"Rabbit cubs, let's fight when I'm right!"

"That ship can't sail anymore, don't fight anymore, aim at the ship in front of Lao Tzu!"

Because there are too few flyships, or there are too many pirate ships, the sea in front of them is all covered, those clippers are the fastest, and they are about to escape into the entrance of the strait, and no one can care about commanding for a while, in fact, at this time, the nine ghosts Jialong can't command if he wants to, he can only see that the pirate ships are blocked at the entrance of the strait, and he doesn't know whether he should continue to escape into the strait, or just wait at the entrance of the strait.
