Before the gang duel, eighty paces away, the arquebus struck the pirates hard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

More than a dozen people were knocked out at once, and the pirates who were shocked by the power of firearms looked at each other. On the pirate ship, which had been howling just now, all I could hear was the screams and moans of the seriously injured. Where do the pirates still have the courage to continue paddling and sprinting? They all froze on the deck, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

Even the crew of the Zaiheung were shocked by the power of the iron cannon salvo. Although the salvo is practiced many times during training, the effect of firing a salvo at the flesh and blood on the real battlefield is very different.

Xiao Xiangui was also standing in the queue, and when he saw the effect of the salvo, his face was overjoyed and an excited smile appeared. The power of the arquebus gave him hope of defeating Chen Shengning. It's Xue Yiming, the head manager, Xu San and others, which one is not full of light?

The crew of the Zaixing was a successful blow, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they all looked at Li Tu.

Li Tu raised his broadsword and shouted, "Reload!" ”

The crew reacted and hurriedly cleared the chamber of the iron cannon again and assembled gunpowder.

On the pirate ship, which was stunned by the arquebus volley, Chen Shengning jumped out. He shouted loudly with his sword, kicking the pirates who were no longer paddling to keep them rowing.

After being scolded by Chen Shengning, the stunned pirates regained some courage in a pool of blood, grabbed the oars in their hands, and continued to row towards the Zaixing.

However, the morale has been frustrated, and with the addition of casualties, the speed of the pirate ship has become significantly faster than it was just now. If the first pirate ship just now still had a sprint speed of seven or eight knots, now this pirate ship only has a forward speed of four or five knots at most. Even the pirates on the second ship, seeing the tragic situation of the first ship in front, also weakened their hands and feet, and slowed down the speed of the charge.

Ten seconds later, the first pirate ship sailed more than ten zhang away, and the second pirate ship quickly approached twenty zhang away. And the crew of the Zaixing has already completed the second loading.

"Aim for the ship behind!"

"Shoot!"

Amid the roar of Litu, the crew of the Zaixing completed the second salvo. Thirty-four bullets whizzed towards the target, forming a rain of bullets that rushed towards the sailors of the second ship, wantonly slaughtering the terrified pirates.

Screams and blood flew out at the same time, and this time the salvo killed thirteen or four pirates. Another piece of flesh and blood flew sideways, and the pirates standing in front of him were shot at least once, and they fell to the ground.

A pirate who had been shot in the eye spurted blood in his face and fell backwards like a sandbag without saying a word.

A pirate whose left leg was broken was bleeding all over the place, his face was full of pain, and he screamed like a pig, and grabbed the arm of the pirate behind him, and the face of the pirate behind him turned pale.

The personnel were massacred, the screams tortured the ears of the pirates, and the second pirate ship also lost its morale, and the speed of the ship was greatly reduced. If it weren't for Chen Shengning's deafening roar, the crew wouldn't have had the courage to paddle. The first pirate ship that had a speed of six or seven knots just now, and the speed was only three or four knots at this time.

But no matter what, the two pirate ships are still moving closer to the side of the Jaeheung.

Chen Shengning was afraid of being killed by the arquebus, so he hid behind the mast and roared loudly to boost morale. He thought that although he had been hit hard by the Zaheung's birds, there were still many pirates on his side, and as long as the two ships were close to the jumping gang, he would be able to win.

But he didn't know that Li Tu's killer feature hadn't been taken out yet.

The use of bombs in combat is not an invention of Litu, but a real history from later generations. In Europe, from the end of the XVII century, grenadier regiments were armed with various European powers. These grenadiers fought with both arquebuses and bombs, dropping bombs when the enemy was approaching, often crashing the enemy array with a single blow. As a result, the grenadiers were considered elite by various countries, but were not heavily equipped because of the cost of operations.

But as a sailor of a maritime merchant, the Zaixing had enough silver to equip such advanced weapons.

Seeing that the first pirate ship was about to come up, there was no time for a third arquebus salvo. With a wave of the knife, Li Tu shouted, "Put down the arquebus and raise the bomb." ”

The crew of the Zaixing took out the iron bomb hidden in their satchels and held it in their hands.

When Chen Shengning's first boat drove four feet away, and the people on the two boats could already see the eyes and noses of the other boat, Li Tu shouted loudly: "Light the fire, throw it freely!" ”

The crew lit bombs on the battle torches and threw them one by one onto Chen Shengning's pirate ship. More precisely, the well-trained crew threw the bomb at the feet of the pirates.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Like a cannon, bombs exploded one after another at the pirates' feet. Patches of black smoke and sparks burst out, enveloping the entire pirate ship.

This is no longer war, this is a one-sided slaughter.

More than thirty bombs exploded next to the pirates' bodies, and the ignited gunpowder shattered the shell-shaped shell, turning the shell pieces into flying pieces of iron. The pieces of iron flew around the ship like a storm, filling almost every corner of the terrace.

The shards mercilessly tore through the pirates' bodies. Someone had half of his leg cut off by a piece of iron, and he howled and rolled on the deck like a pig. Someone was stuck in the chest with a piece of iron and cut his heart and lungs, and he fell on the deck bleeding from all his knots. Screams were shouted from almost all the pirates at the same time, and then, very quickly, the pirates fell like sandbags on the deck, on the side of the ship, or fell into the sea, making a splash.

This is the era of hot weapons, the merciless crushing of the era of cold weapons.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty lives were harvested by the bombs, and the first pirate ship was suddenly blown into a dead ship, leaving only six or seven living people on the entire ship. Even these survivors were no longer able to fight hard, except for one or two who were lucky not to be blown up, the other four or five who were alive were seriously injured and fell to the ground groaning bitterly.

Chen Shengning, who was hiding behind the mast, did not escape this catastrophe, Shan Wenjia couldn't stop the high-speed iron piece at all, his chest and thighs were pierced by the iron plate, and he fell unconscious on the deck, bleeding nonstop.

Although I have trained to throw countless times, I have also seen the power of real bombs in training. But seeing the power of these more than 30 bombs exploding, the crew of the Zaixing was still stunned. Although the firearms ordered by Li Tu cost ten taels of silver, the effect was amazingly good, and the power was even greater.
