The pirates on the deck had long since gone into hiding, and the marbles did not cause more damage. However, the marbles that fell in a row still jumped around, and some even rolled into the cabin in a bouncing manner. Sun Ronglu picked up a marble, convinced that it was indeed a grape ball.

"Impossible!"

"Impossible!"

"Impossible!"

Sun Ronglu shouted angrily.

He couldn't guess why Zhang Zhun could throw grapes to such a distance! At such a distance, he simply couldn't throw a grape projectile on top of the two monsters himself! In between, there is a difference of more than 50 zhang! Fifty feet! It's definitely a fatal distance!

Sun Ronglu even felt a hint of fear. He originally thought that hand-to-hand combat, which would not be defeated in a hundred battles, was very likely to die because of it. Because, under such a dense grapeshell killing by the other party, the pirates had no chance to jump into the gang at all. If you want to jump to the gang, you have to put it on. However, under such a fierce grape bomb from the other side, how can they stick it? Suicide?

However, that's not the scariest of all. The most feared thing is that since the grape bombs have been fired, will the chain bullets be far away? Once the opponent fires a chain...... The destructive power of chain bullets on ships, especially on masts and sails, is absolutely fatal. The distance of fifty zhang is not far away, but it is not close, and it is enough for the other party to launch three rounds of chain bullets.

Three rounds of chain bullets! As long as one round hits, the consequences are unimaginable! Once the mast and sails are destroyed, all ships will be targeted by enemy artillery. Can a warship without maneuverability still be considered a ship? Sun Ronglu knows this best. He came to eliminate Zhang Zhun, not to be eliminated by Zhang Zhun.

Sun Ronglu was once again caught in a dilemma.

If you move forward, you will have to endure more chain bullets and grapeshot bullets.

If the pirates can fight back, even if Sun Ronglu struggles to bear a certain number of casualties, he will have to fight Zhang Zhun fiercely. As long as the victory is achieved, Sun Ronglu will never care how many pirates die. The pirates are here for the money. Since you are here, you must be ready to die.

The problem is that at this distance, the pirates can't fight back. That's right, that's only about 50 zhang away. For the vast ocean, the distance of fifty zhang is completely negligible. However, in battle, the distance of fifty zhang is enough to kill. At this distance of fifty zhang, they could only be beaten in vain. No matter how many people die, they can only endure it in vain.

If it was just a dead person, Sun Ronglu could also bear it. Pirates are people. A batch died, and a batch remained. Desperately losing half of the pirates, Sun Ronglu was sure to rush up and fight Zhang Zhun hand-to-hand and achieve the final victory. However, in addition to grapeshot, the enemy also has chain bullets! Fierce chainshells were enough to wreck their ships. People are dead, at any time. The ship was wrecked, but it was gone. Without a boat, he Sun Ronglu is also going to be finished.

Retreat, unwilling.

It was not easy to break in, but he wanted to retreat, and Sun Ronglu couldn't accept it. If he retreats now, he'll have to break in tomorrow as well. What's more, tomorrow we will have to repeat this kind of battle, and tomorrow we will also have to endure the bombardment of chain shells and grapeshot shells. Unless he doesn't attack Mawan anymore.

…… Among all the pirate ships, the most unlucky is undoubtedly the lucky ship of the seventh child.

Since it couldn't open fire, Lao Qi's lucky ship could only follow behind slowly, preparing to wait for other pirate ships to go before it followed. However, even so, he could not escape the fate of being attacked. The grapeshot fired by the Tiger Ben Navy shrouded Lao Qi's lucky ship in it.

The area where the grapeshot was scattered was too large, and after passing the distance of 500 meters, the projectile had completely dispersed, as if it was a layer of black clouds, covering the sea area within a radius of 100 meters. Marbles continued to fall from the sky and smashed directly on Lao Qi's fortune boat. Since the battlefield was so complicated that there was the sound of cannons everywhere, no one knew where these marbles came from, and no one cared about this. What everyone is concerned about is the huge casualties caused by grapeshotfire.

As they prepared to jump into the gang fight, the sailors on this lucky ship, also gathered on the deck in a dense group, ready to do everything before the gang fight. The flying cymbals were still holding long ropes. Their ranks are equally dense. As a result, messy marbles fell, blood splattered, and more than a dozen people fell in an instant. Fortunately, they were on the edge of the barrage after all, and the density of the marbles was greatly reduced. Otherwise, at least half of the pirates will fall.

The pirates were already very surprised. What pirate isn't afraid of the power of grapeshot? They hurriedly burrowed into the cabin and took shelter. Because the entrance to the cabin was so narrow, so many pirates could not rush in at once, and as a result, when the second round of marbles fell, seven or eight more pirates fell.

The whole deck was full of pirates, dead and undead, next to each other, and blood flowed all over the deck, turning the whole deck red. The marbles that fell afterwards completely turned all the wounded into dead. Blood poured down the edge of the deck into the sea like a waterfall.

In fact, the pirates on the deck are not the most miserable. The most tragic are often pirates on masts. They were in the air without any cover at all, and could not find any obstacle that could block the marbles. The only thing they could pray for was that the marbles would not hit them. If they were hit by marbles, they would have no choice but to die.

"Ahh

Screams were heard.

"Smack!"

Something slammed down on the deck, and then there was no sound.

As anyone with a little experience knows, it must be the sailman on the mast who makes such a cry that has been hit. In any naval battle, the fate of the sailer is the most dangerous. They are the main targets of enemy ships. As long as they enter the range of fire, all weapons and ammunition are all beckoned to them. They are the sailors with the highest risk and the highest mortality rate. Of course, they are also paid the highest, and some are even about the same as captains.

Under the bombardment of grape bombs, the pirates on Lao Qifu's ship suffered quite a lot of casualties. Sailmen, in particular, have a very high mortality rate. Fortunately, the sailors of the pirates are still not afraid of death, and some people keep falling, but some people keep climbing up, always maintaining the effective operation of the sails and ensuring the maneuver of the ship.

In fact, every pirate knew that the bloodiest, most ruthless, and massive casualties on this part of the way close to the enemy ships also appeared at this time. As long as you get through this darkest period, the rest will be easy. Can't get through it...... There's nothing to worry about...... Because, most of you've been killed. I don't know anything when I'm dead, and I don't need to worry about anything.

Under the threat of grapeshot shells, Lao Qi can only hide in the cabin now, looking at the marbles that keep falling outside with a trace of horror and helplessness. Frightened because he didn't feel right. At such a distance, Zhang Zhun threw the grape projectile over, which is definitely abnormal. I don't know what kind of cannon Zhang Zhun used? The range is huge, so far! Far beyond the range of the Franc guns on his own ship.

The helplessness was due to the fact that the cannon on his ship could not be fired, so he could only be beaten passively. This kind of passive beating is really uncomfortable! At the same time, the inability to fight back also has a great impact on morale. Many pirates were worried that they didn't know what to do if an enemy ship came and attacked them at close range. Cannons can't shoot, and even if the enemy is within range, they can't do anything!

"Whew!"

"Squeak!"

Suddenly, Lao Qi heard a strange but familiar voice.

"Chainbomb!"

The old seven were taken aback and screamed.

He could hear it right away, it was the sound of a chain bullet skimming across the sky.

Chainbomb!

It's a chain bomb!

Zhang Zhun of the dog said that he actually began to fire chain bullets!

This does not bode well!

Lao Qi is also very fond of using chain bullets in naval battles. Whether it is a heavy chain bullet composed of two solid iron balls, or a light chain bullet composed of two hollow iron balls, it is his favorite. Each time, he was above the maximum distance and fired chain bullets. Seeing the chain bullet hitting the mast of the enemy ship and hitting the sail of the enemy ship, he had an inexplicable excitement.

However, at this moment, Lao Qi only had deep fear. Because he knew very well that once he was hit by a chain bullet on the mast or sail, his ship's surname would be seriously affected. Even, it is not impossible to completely lose the ability to maneuver and become a target.

"Quack!"

"Gah!"

"Karma!"

Sure enough, a very ugly voice came.

Lao Qi didn't need to go out to watch it, he knew that his sails were finished. The first sound was the sound of a chain bolt tearing through the canvas. The second sound is the sound of a chain bolt tearing through a support rod in the sail. The third sound was the sound of a chain bullet tearing through the sails and completely coming out of the sails. Lao Qi, who is so familiar with chain bullets that he can't be more familiar with it, can only squat in the corner in pain. In the past, he used to abuse others with chain bullets, but now he finally tastes the taste of others abusing himself with chain bullets.

Sure enough, Lao Qi soon received a report from his subordinates, saying that the sail had been torn a long gap, and half of the sail was hanging diagonally and crumbling. The tear is too long to repair in the short term. The only thing that can be done is to replace the spare sails. But in that case, the mobile surname of Fufune will be seriously affected.

"Change the sails!"

Lao Qi could only give an order helplessly.

Then, Lao Qi lifted his spirits and appeared on the deck. He was a captain after all, and he was a very tough captain. If he hides in the cabin and does not come out, the morale of his subordinates will be affected even more seriously. Changing the sails is also very dangerous work, and it is absolutely impossible to do without morale.
