Chapter 20: The Battle of the Pirates
In the past five months, the most important thing is that the number of five-masted galleons has finally accumulated to 300 on the side of Xuanwu Town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Five-masted galleon: Bronze-class ship, 150 meters long and 35 meters wide, because of the five-masted, the speed of the ship is fast, reaching 200 km / h, and a small number of catapults, ballistae, etc. can be loaded on the deck.
And because there are several special carpenters, there are also many senior carpenters, which also makes the catapult manufacturing drawings useful.
A large number of silver-grade catapults have been produced, and so far, there are as many as 1,000 of them, of which 900 have been fixed on the warship, and the other 100 have been placed in the Qiankun Ring.
Originally, the size of a five-masted galleon was enough to fit 5 catapults per ship, but considering the needs of the siege later, only 3 were installed. After all, it is still more troublesome to disassemble it when it is installed on a ship.
The catapults on the ship are vertically distributed on the central axis of the ship, the catapults can be rotated in all directions, and on the deck around the catapults, there is a specially built annular steel casting according to the size of the catapult that is firmly fixed to the deck, and there are standard 360 holes on it, evenly arranged on it.
It is very convenient to fix the four corners of the hole with a thick steel rod when casting, which can ensure the stability of the catapult.
Silver Catapult: 1000 meters, 5 rounds per minute
After this period of training, those sea dragon knights were already familiar with the five-masted galleon and were ready to set off.
Therefore, Xuanyuan decided to set out tomorrow to exterminate the pirates.
When Xuanyuan Che was returning to the town mansion, a system announcement suddenly came:
"The player Li Jishan's forces attacked the Xianbei tribe, a foreign race in the north, and successfully occupied a Xianbei county, expanding the territory for the Han Dynasty, and strengthening the prestige of the Han Dynasty. In addition, the reward is prestige +500, perception +3, and a ground-level black dragon spear. ”
This is done three times before the announcement ends.
Xuanyuan Che was stunned, others may think that this Li Jishan is just a duplicate name and a relatively powerful player, but Xuanyuan Che doesn't think so, he knows the real secret of the new century, and he is very sure that this person must be the number one in reality.
Xuanyuan Che didn't expect that even if he had so many advantages, he would still be surpassed in his official position, so it seems that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, perhaps among the players, he and the government forces would compete at the same level.
However, when he thought that Emperor Han Ling actually gave No. 10 beauties, Xuanyuan Che's face couldn't help but smile, and secretly guessed that he didn't know what to do with these 10 beautiful palace maids.
In the early morning of the second day, Xuanyuan Che took Yang Yun to Xuanwu Town, accompanied by the generals, looking at the Xuanhe River, the dense five-masted sailing boats, and the neatly arranged soldiers on them, Xuanyuan Che suddenly felt proud, quite a feeling of being in the hands of the world.
"My lord, please get on board." At this time, a young general on the side spoke.
Looking at the majestic Chen Mingfeng in front of him, Xuanyuan Che could only say that he was lucky to be able to find a naval general who fled from the south from the village.

This Chen Mingfeng is also a poor person, although he is stout and strong, but he has a beautiful sister who is like a flower, with his status as a naval general, the two brothers and sisters depend on each other, and they can live well.
But when he encountered the oppression of the second generation of officials, he wanted to rob his sister, how could Chen Mingfeng endure it, so he killed the second generation and ran out with his sister Chen Xi, and ended up in a player village.
But before the player was excited, he was robbed by Xuanyuan Che to destroy the village, and after discovering it, he appointed him as a naval commander and became the commander of the Blue Dragon Fleet by Xuanyuan Che.
As for his sister, a flower girl like a jade, she was placed in Xuanyuan Town to help Liu Feng handle official business.
If it weren't for the fear that Chen Mingfeng would kill people and run away again, Xuanyuan Che would be like Yang Yun and take him to live in the Zhengong Mansion. Of course, for the time being, it's just a stay.
As the flagship of the Blue Dragon Fleet, the only six-masted galleon in the fleet, Xuanyuan Che gave the order to set sail.
Immediately, the flagship set sail, and through the flag, other sailing ships also set anchor.
Although the six-masted galleon was still a bronze ship, it was 200 meters long and 40 meters wide, and the ship's catapults were loaded with seven, not the full five of the other five-masted galleons.
However, this time, because there are not many Sea Dragon Knights, each ship is 200 people, a total of 60,000 people, and through the battle during this time, they are all sixth-order strength.
Of course, Xuanyuan Che would not only bring such a few people, he only left 200,000 soldiers with sixth-order strength to stay in Xuanyuan Valley, and the others were brought out by him. Of the 60,000 Sea Dragon Knights who went out of the ship, the rest of the soldiers stayed in the Qiankun Ring.
Looking at the navy busy on the ship, Xuanyuan Che was very confident that the pirate city could definitely be conquered this time.
Luckily for three days, I didn't run into a single pirate.
Three days later, Pirate Island came into view, and the pirates on the island apparently spotted Xuanyuan Che's fleet, and about 1,000 pirate ships approached one after another.
At first glance, the warships are disorganized, mostly three- to five-masted galleons, and even a few large fishing boats have been converted.
"Ming Feng, this battle is under your command, you must fight me hard to kill the pirates to the greatest extent."
Xuanyuan Che is still self-aware, and he doesn't have much talent for naval warfare.
"If your subordinates obey orders, you will live up to the trust of your lord." Chen Mingfeng was overjoyed, he thought that the lord was there, and the lord would come by himself in this battlefield command, but he didn't expect the lord to trust him so much, and he suddenly felt that the soldier was a confidant and died.
Immediately, Chen Mingfeng ordered the fleet to turn around and sail perpendicular to the direction from which the pirates came. The ship's catapult is ready, and the sails are aligned at the same time, keeping a distance between the two sides at all times.
After the fleet turned, the ship's catapults were aimed at the pirate ship, which could only get within 1,000 meters before being launched.
As soon as the pirate ship approached 900 meters, all the catapults were launched together, and the locust-like stones immediately flew towards the pirate ship.
With the nearly 1,000 number of pirate ships, they are densely packed throughout the sea, and they can basically hit the target without looking at it too much.
Dozens of pirate ships that rushed in the middle were unfortunately hit by many boulders and sank immediately, and more than 200 other pirate ships were smashed and damaged.
Countless pirates fell into the sea, cries for help, screams were endless, and most of them were permanently silenced.
Suddenly, the pirate ship group slowed down.
The pirate leader was furious and roared and ordered: "Charge me and kill all these officers and soldiers!" With the words of the flag, the order was immediately transmitted to the pirate ships everywhere, and the speed increased again, but it was no longer as scrambling for first place as before.
Since the Blue Dragon Fleet had been sailing sideways, although the distance was gradually getting closer, it was much slower after all, and soon, the second attack came again.
Perhaps because of the preparation, the pirate ships dispersed early, although in this sea area, it still seemed dense, but it was much looser than before, resulting in the results of this battle were not as rich as before, only hitting more than a hundred pirate ships, and sinking only a dozen.
After another attack, the pirate ship had reached within 700 meters, and the pirate ship finally used its catapult.
Chen Mingfeng immediately ordered the turn to accelerate and distance himself from the pirates.
But even so, 13 warships were sunk, more than 50 warships were damaged, and more than 100 people were lost.
However, fortunately, the order was timely, and the distance was opened before the second wave of attacks.
After several encounters, the number of pirate ships has also increased from nearly 1,000 to less than 700 now, of which nearly 200 are seriously damaged, extremely slow, and fall behind, and even sink from time to time.
And the Blue Dragon fleet also suffered losses, sinking 16 warships. However, most of the losses were caused by the first attack, after which only a few damaged ships that were not able to react were sunk.
Xuanyuan Che was very satisfied with this result, after all, he only had 300 warships, and the other party was nearly 1,000, Chen Mingfeng could use the warships to benefit from it, and it was still very good to achieve such a result.
Seeing that it has such an advantage, as long as the pirates do not leave the battlefield and continue like this, then it is possible to destroy even the pirate ship.
And Chen Mingfeng obviously didn't want the battle to last too long, so he gave an order to the herald next to him, and then Xuanyuan Che found that on each ship, there were soldiers jumping into the sea from the other side of the ship, and they were not discovered by the pirates.
"It's-" Xuanyuan Che somewhat understood what these soldiers were doing, but it was safer to ask.
"Back to my lord, these soldiers are all going to scuttle the pirate ship."
"Wouldn't it be too slow, a small hole is still talking about a pirate ship, and it won't be of much use."
"The lord put it down, his subordinates didn't want to sink all the pirate ships, but just let them target the three hundred ships in front, each with 40 warriors, and the effect shouldn't be too bad."
Xuanyuan Che nodded at this time, he knew that these sea dragon knights were well versed in water, and the diving time was about seven minutes, and for such a period of time, if 40 people dug together, it was still very likely to scuttle a warship, not to mention, they could also come up for ventilation.
However, this kind of battle can only be used now, although it is already September, but the water temperature is okay. If it were winter, I am afraid that the soldiers would freeze to death as soon as they went to sea.
After several waves of stone-throwing attacks again, Xuanyuan Che suddenly found that a pirate ship at the front began to roll sideways, and it didn't take long for it to sink completely, and many pirates did not escape, or pirates who jumped very close to the sea, were brought into the sea by the warship and the whirlpool that was generated, and died. There were some lucky pirates who were able to escape, but what awaited them were the Sea Dragon Knights lurking in the sea.
With the first one, gradually, the pirate ships in front of them tilted one after another, and finally sank, and countless pirates fell into the sea, constantly calling for help, mixed with screams.
Of course, with the increase in the number of pirates who fell into the water, the Sea Dragon Knights no longer sneak up on assassinations, but have sneaked back to their own fleet, and with the help of the soldiers on board, they have boarded the ships.
Looking at the results of the battle, it is not bad, but the selected 300 warships, but from 270 sunk, the results are rich, and the battle is only a few dozen people killed.
Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but show an expression of admiration, obviously extremely satisfied with the results of this battle.
