The last time the navy encountered a pirate raid, the casualties were not small, and now they are holding their breath. The three generals Ruan Xiaoqi, Kong Yang, and Ruan Xiaowu commanded their own teams, and the giant crossbows on the centipede warship had already been loaded, and the Lying Niu Cannon had already been loaded with shells.

Ruan Xiaoqi operated the giant crossbow and said loudly: "Let this group of pirates see the power of our naval army and know what it means to be experts in naval warfare." ”

"Haha, that's right, kill hard." The crowd burst into laughter.

The two fleets rowed vigorously, and soon they were about to make contact, and the ten centipede boats formed a triangular charging formation, with Ruan Xiaoqi at the head, followed by Kong Yang and Ruan Xiaowu as the flanks.

Finally entering the firing range, the giant crossbow fired first, and the range of more than 300 meters was the farthest among cold weapons, and the giant crossbow that ignited the fire shot towards the pirate ship like a meteor. This time the preparation was sufficient, and there were a total of sixty giant crossbows on the ten centipede ships, which could really be described as raining crossbow arrows. In line with the idea that it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, Ruan Xiaoqi concentrated his forces to attack the four ships at the front of the pirates. The four pirate ships were set on fire at once, and the raging fire burned, and the pirates panicked and took things to extinguish the fire, but the crossbow arrows were stained with fierce fire oil, and the fire was not easy to extinguish at all, plus most of the pirate ships were rebuilt from small fishing boats, and what was waiting for them was to fall into the water. At this time, the distance was close again, about two hundred meters apart, and the pirates, although they did not have a giant crossbow but a small number of strong bows, began to release arrows in vain.

Kong Yang operated a lying bull cannon and aimed at the first pirate ship, which had at least twenty pirates dressed in black and holding single knives on the deck.

Kong Yang sneered: "Let them go and feed the fish, and the lying cow cannon fires." ”

After that, he lit the cannon twister, boom, boom. Two cannon shots, hundreds of iron sand like a hornet blowing up the nest, then I heard a buzz, the pirates fell in pieces, each of them was hit by a dozen grains of iron sand, the hot iron sand instantly made the pirates scream loudly, "Ah, it hurts me." ”

Most of the pirates were wounded, and only a few unlucky pirates were killed when they were hit by too much iron sand.

Ten centipede ships opened fire almost at the same time, the cannon roared and thick smoke billowed to the sky, and the pirates had no experience in dodging, and this time they lost nearly half of their combat effectiveness.

The flagship Shangchao Gai, Zhu Wu, Bian Xiang and others were watching the battle situation, after all, Zhu Wu was in contact with this situation for the first time, and his face was a little pale.

Chao Gai said: "Mr. Zhu does not feel that the screams of the pirates are too miserable. ”

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "Let my brother laugh, war has always been like this, this cannon is really useful, this is only twenty cannons, if there are hundreds of cannons, it will not be a problem to open mountains and crack rocks." ”

"The main task of this Lying Cow Cannon is to wound the enemy, make the wounded enemy scream, and disturb the morale of the enemy soldiers. However, even such a cannon requires fifty pounds of good iron, plus the gunpowder, the cost of all kinds of cannons is very high, and some cannons are also defective, the rate of fire is slow, and once the melee combat will be useless. Chao Gai said.

Bian Xiang is okay, he is born with thick nerves, but Shi Jin is still a beginner brother on the battlefield at this time, and his lips are a little dry before the war starts. Bian Xiang next to him smiled: "Don't be afraid of fighting, killing people is the same as chopping melons." What's more, we are not killing ordinary people, but pirates who have committed heinous crimes, all of them are necrotic and have done too much, and they have lost their conscience, and killing them is to do good and accumulate virtue. ”

Shi Jin scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid, it's just that I'm a little seasick, after all, where is there such a big wind and waves at sea in the water, and when I get ashore, you can see how I slaughter them." ”

Next to him, Shi Xiu held an iron rod and said with a smile: "Let's compare the two of us to see who kills more pirates." ”

Chao Gai said: "Stop fighting, let you have a long experience, Jiao Ting, and take out our big killing weapon." ”

"Yes."

Jiao Ting immediately commanded the four soldiers to lift the tarpaulin on the bow of the Flying Bird Boat, revealing two dark barrels, this cannon is much longer than the Lying Niu Cannon, at least one meter and five long, the caliber is 170 millimeters, cast iron, because it is a ship, the weight is at least 200 catties.

"What is this?" Everyone asked in surprise.

Zhu Wu was also a little surprised, and said: "This is bigger than the Lying Niu Cannon, the cannon body is long, and the range is definitely long." ”

Chao Gai said: "This is called the Tiger Squat Cannon, it was just developed by Xu Meng, only three sample cannons were made, two of which I brought here, this one is a solid iron bullet or a flowering bullet, the range can be between one mile and two miles, it just happened that we tested it, but this cannon is confidential, don't tell the outside world." ”

Crowd: "Yes." "Military law is not a joke, although Chao Gai is easy-going, but once he violates military law, it is very strict.

The gunner skillfully reloads the Tiger Squat Cannon and adjusts the angle. Then he aimed at the largest pirate ship three hundred meters away, which was a converted Daifuku ship, apparently a ship looted by pirates.

Chao Gai said: "Fight the biggest lucky ship to deter pirates." I've blocked my ears. Chao Gai reminded everyone.

"Yes." The gunner took aim, lit the cannon twist, boom, boom, two loud bangs, and the ears of the people roared. Especially Yang Chun and Chen Da, who didn't block their ears well, only felt that there were dozens of things hidden in their ears.

At a distance, only one of the two shells hit, boom, the flowering shells exploded on the deck of the pirate ship, and a group of pirates who were firing arrows blew up a bunch.

The pirates really wanted to get close to the jumping ship in close combat, but the sailors had already planned for battle, and the centipede ship retreated immediately after firing a round of artillery. The pirates used their strength to chase fiercely, and at this time the second round of artillery came, coupled with the attack of the giant crossbow, the pirate ship lost nearly half, and the fighters also lost half, and the morale collapsed.

"Order, pursue at full speed, and try to destroy the enemy at sea." Chao Gai issued an order.

The flotilla accelerated its pursuit, artillery and crossbows were fired, and three more pirate ships were soon destroyed, bringing no more than five pirate ships to the shore. Ruan Xiaoqi and the others went over and took control of the few pirate ships that could still be used, and the larger lucky ship was also captured. After the pirates docked, they did not dare to gather on the beach, so they ran towards the island and fled in all directions.

The sailors put the pirate ships away, and because there weren't many people watching, the ships could only be parked and couldn't be started for the time being.

Bian Xiang said: "Let's go ashore in the mountain camp." ”

Chao Gai nodded and said, "Okay, the pirate's ship has almost all been controlled, and the pirate is desperate. The island is not big, and they can't run away even if the navy patrols around. Therefore, after the mountain battalion went ashore, they could fight, and if they couldn't, they would wait until dawn, in short, there was no need to fight with a group of trapped beasts. ”

"Understood."

With a wave of his hand, Bian Xiang led the mountain battalion and Shi Jin, Shi Xiu, Yang Chun, Chen Da, and a team of nearly 60 people to land on the island.

The weapons of the mountain battalion are complicated, there are waist knives, hunting forks, axes for melee weapons, and long-range weapons are bows and arrows, because the mountain battalion is mainly from the hunters, so the bows and arrows are very accurate, and there is no need to chase the pirates very close, and the arrows can be released from a distance, and the swishing feather arrows fly wildly.

Although the two archery skills of the Xie Zhen and Xie Bao brothers are not as good as those of Pang Wanchun, they are still much stronger than ordinary people, and they shot six pirates one after another for their meritorious service. The pirates were frightened, and they were all thinking about how to escape, and the one-eyed pirate Heishazi saw that the situation was not right, and immediately shouted: "Rest for a while, friends on the other side, we have no grievances recently, and there is no misunderstanding in the past." ”

Bian Xiang smiled: "Misunderstanding? Aren't you the pirate Black Sand, who robbed our fleet more than a month ago, and we killed six people and injured dozens of people, so you won't forget about it. ”

Heishazi secretly regretted it, he didn't expect people to come to the door, but it became like this, he couldn't hide, and the only way was to boost his morale. Immediately glanced at his general, this man was a big black man, gray and not slippery, holding two machetes, looking like a rampant crab, this pirate's nickname is called the double knife crab.

The double-knife giant crab stepped into the middle and laughed: "If it's a man, don't put cold arrows, they are all people with birds in their crotch, do you have the courage to come up and fight with real knives and guns." ”

Bian Xiang was about to fight, and at this time Shi Jin said: "You are the commander, or I will go." ”

"Okay, be careful, if you can't win, return it immediately, and I'll let Xie Zhen answer you." Bian Xiang said.

Shi Jin took some steel guns and went over, the two sides reported their names, and then they fought in one place.

The double-knife giant crab is really a very strong person, a pair of double knives are powerful and powerful, coupled with his perennial pirate career, he has become more and more ruthless, three knives in a row, and Shi Jin, who has been slashed, parried again and again.

However, Shi Jin is not the original Shi Jin, this time has won the true biography of Wang Jin, after three moves, the steel gun spits out the core like an eye snake, and occasionally attacks while defending tightly, and the double knife crab does not dare to slack off, you must know that the tip of this steel gun is one foot long, and it will die if it is pierced in the neck.

After more than a dozen rounds, the double-knife crab was a little anxious, and the double knife swung out to cut off Shi Jin's arms, Shi Jin squatted and retreated, and the steel gun stabbed out from bottom to top, this shot went straight to the throat, pierced from the front with a thud, and stabbed out from the back of the neck. Shi Jin pulled out the big gun, it was covered with blood, the double-knife giant crab was already dead and couldn't die anymore, Shi Jin looked at the pirates with a cold face, and shouted: "Who dares to come." ”

The pirates were speechless, the double-knife giant crab was a rare master among the pirates, and let this little white face be killed in more than a dozen rounds, who would dare to come up.

The one-eyed pirate leader shouted: "Our ship is gone, there is no way to escape without defeating them, kill me." ”

Pirates are originally people who are not afraid of death, and there is no way out of the ship, so it is also very powerful to launch a ruthless attack at this moment. Bian Xiang is too late to retreat at this moment, especially when Shi Jin's sex is calling for battle there, not to mention that if he retreats at this time, it may be a real failure, after all, the mountain platoon is not a hundred battles.
