The airship descended slowly, about ten meters from the ground, the hatch had been opened, the towing cable was dropped, and the pirates on the ground grabbed the rope and walked to a stone pier not far away under the command of the lame pirate.

At this moment, Guan Xiaoyun exclaimed, "Dean, look. ”

Everyone's eyes looked in the direction that Guan Xiaoyun was pointing, and they were suddenly taken aback, only to see the figure in the hole of the western reef shaking, and what made Yuan Fang's face even more ugly was that there was an inconspicuous hole on the left side of the middle of the reef more than twenty meters high, and if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't find it at all, at this time, there were several pirates aiming around a huge bed, and the target was the other airship closest to them.

Yuan Fang turned his head and looked through the glass window at the pirate leader and his group who had been standing in the wind and rain to greet him, their small movement attracted Yuan Fang's attention, although these pirates couldn't see their expressions clearly, but they always touched the weapons on their waists from time to time, this action Yuan Fang was very familiar with, he had many personal experiences when he was a soldier before, this was an instinctive reaction of nervousness or expectation before the move.

Yuan Fang was shocked and ordered loudly: "Lift-off, lift-off, herald, notify the other two airships to take off and prepare crossbow arrows." ”

Xueqin was nervous, and hurriedly pulled the lever when she heard Yuan Fang's order, several exhaust holes under the airbag opened, and thick fog gushed out, using this reaction force, the airship began to climb, and at the same time, Xueqin ordered the deputy to add three fog stones to quickly replenish the lost fog, so that the airship could maintain enough power.

Suddenly, the airship was pulled by something, Yuan Fang almost fell, and Sang Rou's voice came: "Cable, cut the cable quickly." ”

Guan Xiaoyun was the closest to the hatch, and after stabilizing his body, he took out his waist knife and slashed at the arm-thick cable, one knife, two knives, three knives, Guan Xiaoyun used all his strength The fifth knife finally cut off the cable, the airship lost its restraints and suddenly ran up, everyone lost their center of gravity and fell down, Guan Xiaoyun almost fell out of the hatch, but fortunately he was pulled in by Yuyue and dragged in.

Kicking the hatch with her foot, Sang Rou locked it in the past, and everyone with her breathed a sigh of relief. The pirates on the ground were stunned by this sudden scene, and when they reacted, Yuan Fang's airship had already risen to a height of fifty or sixty meters, looking at the cut cable, and at the pirate leader with a blue face not far away, the lame pirate stood in place at a loss.

Xueqin's reaction is fast enough and skilled, and the other two airships are not good, but because of this, they saved a lot of trouble, because they had just left the Range Rover, and the pirates on the ground had not had time to fix, seeing the abnormal movement and flag command of the airship where Yuan Fang was, the pilots of the two airships did not say a word to raise the height, because of panic and nervousness, plus the sea breeze was getting stronger and stronger, and one of the airships hit a huge reef in the process of flying, but fortunately it was only a slight collision, and the hull was not damaged, It's just that the protective shell of the airbag is broken, but fortunately the airbag is not damaged.

When the pirate leader saw the fat in his mouth running away, he roared angrily: "Shoot me, shoot them down for me." ”

The wind became more and more urgent, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the pirates who were ambushed in the hollowed-out reef could not hear the roar of the pirate leader, but it was not difficult for them to see the meaning of the pirate leader's movements, and suddenly some of the holes blocked by the stones were opened by the pirates, and the archers' crossbows that had been prepared were fired indiscriminately at the airship not far away. The sound of feathered arrows shooting on the cabin kept coming to mind, but these feathered arrows were obviously not powerful enough to penetrate the outer armor, and only added a little decoration to the airship.

With a few buzzing sounds, the faces of everyone in the airship changed drastically, the sound was familiar to them, it was a heavy crossbow, or a more powerful bed.

Several arm-thick crossbow arrows burst through the air, and an airship was hit at the bottom of the cabin, sawdust flew and the bolts sank deep into the airship's cabin.

Besides, Yuan Fang's side, their location is near the reef on the east side of the island, although they are the first to find out that something is wrong, but the pirates here are also the fastest, not to mention the ordinary feather arrows, there is no threat to the airship at all, but there are also two beds in ambush in the east reef, just now Yuan Fang They have been focusing on the other direction, when the top of the east reef reveals the hideous bed, it is too late to dodge.

Two thick crossbow arrows burst in, and with two muffled thuds, the bolts broke through the outer armor and sank into the cabin.

With a scream, a female soldier was hit by a crossbow arrow, and blood was left on her thigh, quickly soaking her trouser leg. Xue Qin was engrossed in holding the joystick, trying to control the airship to maintain a steady ascent.

The speed of the airship was not slow, and it soon broke away from the maximum elevation angle of the bed and entered the safe area, Xueqin still did not dare to relax, and asked loudly: "Report the damage and treat the wounded." ”

At this time, Yuan Fang was already rescuing the injured female soldier, the female soldier was lucky, the kinetic energy was exhausted after the crossbow arrow penetrated the armor, the female soldier's right leg was only punctured, and the leg bone may have cracks, the injury was not serious, and there was no major problem after simple bandaging to stop the bleeding.

Ye Qingru pointed to the crossbow bolt that was inserted diagonally and asked, "Brother-in-law, what should I do with this thing?" Do you want to pull it out? ”

Yuan Fang shook his head and said, "No, let's do this first, and then deal with it when we go back, otherwise there are holes in the cabin that will affect the stability." ”

The mechanic reported: "Instructor, the airbag was shot through by the bed, and the tail exhaust hole pulley was seriously damaged and could not be used normally, and it is being repaired." ”

Xue Qindai's brows furrowed, her eyes stared at the front and she didn't ask, "How long will it take to repair?" ”

The mechanic replied, "It's hard to say, it's half an hour to an hour at the earliest." Xueqin looked at Yuan Fang, waiting for his order.

Yuan Fang is very familiar with the structure of the airship, and the role of no part is even more clear, the role of the tail exhaust hole is to discharge the fog to produce thrust to help the airship accelerate, and now it cannot be used It means that the airship has lost the forward power, in other words, they are now trapped here, and they can only rely on the power of wind and rain to go downwind, but if the weight of the airship itself is added, the conversion of wind speed into thrust will produce a huge loss of kinetic energy, that is to say, if it goes on like this, they will be swallowed by the storm.

Yuan Fang took a deep breath and said without being surprised: "How about the other two airships?" Is the damage serious? "Through the exchange of flags, the other two airships were more or less damaged, and they were also hit by the bed, but fortunately, they were not injured, at this time, the two airships had barely stabilized, following behind Yuan Fang's airship.
