Chapter 1046: The Pirate's Stubborn Resistance
The combat effectiveness of the two dinghys and the two airships is not enough to protect the returning fleet, but Yuan Fang really can't pull out more airships, the way back is not very far, and more airships will come later, I believe there should be no danger.
Yuan Fang's previous airship was seriously damaged, and it was a miracle that it could fly back safely, even if the mechanics were excellent, there was not enough spare parts to replace and more time, and the airship could not fly back into the sky in a short time, so Yuan Fang ordered the airship to be disassembled into small pieces and put into the cabin, some of the larger parts were not as good as the engine room and airbag armor or something directly destroyed and discarded, although it was a bit wasteful, but in this situation of fighting at any time, it could not be allowed to lie on the deck of the flagship to affect the battle.
Yuan Fang and his entourage boarded the airship named Tianyu, Xueqin took over the command of the airship, and as the flagship of the air force, he commanded the entire air combat formation.
Yuan Fang's idea is very simple, even if the pirates run away, there will always be something left, maybe, you can find some useful information from it, and Yuan Fang has set it as a meeting point, waiting for the arrival of follow-up support forces, now, the Wanliu Empire has an unfamiliar air force, although I don't know how many airships they have, it shouldn't be a lot from the time analysis, but be careful, it's better to wait until you gather enough self-protection forces to go to the Wanliu Empire.
In order to protect the safety of the fleet, Yuan Fang and the others had to suppress the flight speed, and at the same time, worried about the sneak attack of the opponent's airship, Yuan Fang ordered all the airships to rise to an altitude of 3,000 meters, leaving only the combat boat to maintain a cruising altitude of 1,500 meters. After about three hours of flying, the reconnaissance airship came back to report that the pirates of that island were still there, and their ship was badly damaged and was being repaired, and it was nearing completion.
Yuan Fang sneered: "It's still there, okay, I want to see how bold they are, they actually dare to sneak attack me, send five airships and five small boats over to blow up their boats, and they still want to run, no way." ”
The order was issued, and ten airships came out of the crowd, and under the leadership of Tian Erniu, they slaughtered the island not far ahead.
The islands were in a panic at this time, Yuan Fang and they ran away knowing that the island leader knew that they were finished, and finally waited until the storm passed, and was about to flee with all his belongings to find a place to hide, but they got a very bad news, their pirate ship was seriously damaged and could not go to sea.
The pirate leader was actively corrupted, jumped to his feet, ordered to repair, did not seek to recover as before, as long as he could go to sea and escape, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, just when the ship was about to be repaired, the airship of the Dongsheng Empire appeared in the sky, the pirate leader knew that it was over, even if the ship was repaired now they could not escape, fortunately, he still had a trump card in his hand to save his life, and the pirate leader planned to gamble, so he summoned all the other pirates except for repairing the ship to prepare for war, his plan was to delay as much as possible and buy time, if the other party did not have other airships to come, There is still a possibility for them to escape.
After a few contacts, the pirate leader also has a certain understanding of airships, the two airships that came just now are not large in size, and their attack power is also limited, if there are only these two, even if they do their best to damage the ships, especially large ships like their own, as long as they can survive, they will be safe when they reach the waters of the Wanliu Empire.
When five dinghys and five huge airships appeared in sight, the pirate leader was desperate, he only had two ships, and the other party sent five airships, it was completely impossible to escape from the sea, the pirate leader gave up the beautiful idea, gathered the pirates, and planned to negotiate with the other party.
Who would have thought, those airships didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and after coming over, they blew up two ships to pieces without saying a word, and that's not all, these airships turned around and went straight to the island, dropping huge incendiary bombs one after another.
The pirates were hiding inside the huge reef, and the incendiary bombs did not cause them many casualties, only a few unlucky ones were injured, but this was the first time that the pirates experienced such a scene, and they were shocked on the spot one by one, and their morale plummeted.
Immediately afterwards, the lookout post found that the opponent's warship had arrived, and then, more airships appeared in the sky, and then the battleship released a dense landing craft to force landing, and the pirates wanted to stop it, but they were pressed by the airship in the reef cave and couldn't get out, so they could only watch the other party land and assemble.
Two airships landed on the shore, and well-equipped female soldiers poured out of them one after another, about a hundred or so, and the leader of the general gave an order, and all the soldiers who landed began to advance with shields.
The pirates almost killed Yuan Fang, Tian Erniu led the team, a hundred female soldiers rushed to the east reef with great hatred, the female soldiers hated these damn pirates, and they were merciless, first suppressed with crossbow arrows, and then rushed over to hand-to-hand combat, the pirates did not have sophisticated armor, every time a pirate went down to lose his life, the anger of the girls had reached the extreme, and the pirates had already lost the courage to resist, and the battle ended soon.
In contrast, the battle on the western reef was relatively easy, although there were more pirates there, but the pirate leader was not there, the dragons were leaderless, and in the face of such a powerful enemy, the pirates only resisted a little and chose to surrender.
Yuan Fang's airship landed in the middle of the island, and the remaining airships were on guard around the island, Yuan Fang stepped off the airship, and Tian Erniu, who was covered in blood, came over to report: "Brother-in-law, most of the pirates have been cleared, a small number have surrendered, and the last small group is gathered in the innermost, there is an iron gate there, very strong, we are trying to find a way to dismantle it, by the way, the leader of the pirates is inside, he asked for negotiations, saying that he has our people in his hands." ”
Yuan Fang was stunned: "Our people? We? Did any of us get caught by him? ”
Tian Erniu shook her head: "I have already counted it, except for a few injured people." ”
Yuan Fang nodded, looked at Tian Erniu, who was covered in blood, and asked with concern: "Erniu, how are you?" Where did it hurt? ”
Tian Erniu smiled faintly and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm fine, these are not my blood." Yuan Fang checked it carefully and was relieved to make sure that Tian Erniu was really not injured.
Sang Rou thought of something and reminded: "Brother-in-law, the pirates said that they have our people in their hands? Do you think it will be? ”
Yuan Fang was stunned: "Ren Fei? Without waiting for Sang Rou to answer, Yuan Fang strode towards the stone cave, and Sang Rou and the others followed closely with apprehension.
