Chapter Eighty-Three: Stealing the Sky and Changing the Day
Bloodaxe was tempted to resist, but soon found that the other side had occupied all the deck entrances and exits, and the mortars on the opposing ships had fired demonstratively.
The cannons fired against the face were extremely lethal, the shells whizzed past the bow of the ship, and several pirates were unfortunately smashed half dead by the flying wooden blocks.
The Blood Axe quickly noticed that the muzzle covers of the opposing ships were open, and a cannon was aimed at his Henry-class, and if there was any disturbance, it would inevitably take a salvo at close range.
At this distance, it can be said that it is not sinkable but also heavy, and the Blood Axe believes that the opponent will definitely shoot at their artillery deck, and the Henry will completely lose the ability to fight back.
So, from the time the other side approached, the Blood Axe and his battleship had already lost.
"How did you get here, weren't you being chased in front of Lord Rex?"
The blood axe, which was tied to the mast by the five flowers, never understood why it was so good to people that it was in front of them and suddenly ran to the back of them.
"Hehe, this is called Darkness Chen Cang, stealing beams and changing pillars." Lu Cheng glanced at the controlled blood axe and his crew, the other party was still in a state of blindfolding, and he couldn't understand why he was suddenly close to the enemy.
"My lord, we have arranged all the necessary manpower, and now we can barely control 2 warships." Lu Nan reported excitedly.
Lu Cheng nodded lightly: "Well, very good, then continue to keep the onboard state and slowly approach the ship...... Well, it's called the Drunkard, it's a really ugly name. ”
"yes, it's hard to hear." Bloodaxe agrees.
", you still have the kung fu to sigh this, your little life is still in my hands." Lu Cheng couldn't cry or laugh, "Come on, plug his mouth for me." ”
"Alas! No, it's hard for me to not speak for a minute...... Not...... After...... Hmmm......"
It's so much quieter.
"My lord, the Drunkard just sent a light signal and asked why we just opened fire." The crew member in charge of the signal light asked.
Lu Cheng pinched his chin: "In this way, our gunner was a little nervous, and accidentally fired a cannon by mistake in operation, and several crew members were injured, and they need to borrow them to order wine to relieve pain and disinfect the wounded." ”
The other party replied, Boss Nat invited everyone to have a drink, what is the difference between a pirate who does not drink and a salted fish.
"Hehe, they're about to become salted fish." Lu Cheng smiled evilly.
"Did you send this sentence?" The crew asked.
"Nonsense, of course you can't do that, you replied, we'll be right away." Lu Cheng replied speechlessly, and then instructed Lu Nan, "Load all the artillery with ammunition, I hope that one round of artillery will determine the victory." ”
"As you wish!"
The Calais-class and Henry-class battleships Blood Axe, which were connected together, slowly approached the Drunkard, and when it was still a few hundred meters away, Lu Chengcheng smelled a faint smell of wine, sure enough, the pirates on this ship were all drunkards, and they could smell the smell of wine from such a distance, so you can imagine how much wine there was on the ship.
500m, 300m, 200m......
Lu Cheng could already see some details of the other party's ship.
100 m ......
Haven't these drunkards noticed anything unusual in the boat next to them?
Lu Cheng resisted the urge to immediately order an attack and continued to approach.
50 m ...... 30 m ......
On the Drunkard, the deck was littered with barrels and bottles, rolling all over the floor with the ups and downs of the ship, and most of the crew were drunk except for a few on duty.
Nat once said that the happiest day is to be able to sleep with a wine bottle in your arms, and now everyone guards a boatload of wine, and that is the day of heaven.
So Old Nat always wanted to change the casually picked up Drunkard to the Heaven, but was vetoed by the above every time.
Because the Drunkard has caused too many troubles, the pirate group is unwilling to accept them, and this time he followed Rex not because he wanted to reuse them, but because the air in the pirate's lair was disgusting and smelly from their ship, so he was sent outside to carry out the mission.
"Hiccup!" One of the crew members on duty was dazed, and he staggered to the side of the ship, ready to settle the urine he had been holding for a long time.
In a daze, he saw that the ship next to him was slowly approaching: "I...... It must be dazzling...... How does it look like the Blood Axe is ghosted? ”
The drunken pirate patted his face self-deprecatingly, as if he wanted to sober himself up: "Hiccup~ I didn't drink too much, how can I still see double vision in my eyes...... Belch...... How the ghosting is getting bigger and bigger. ”
The pirate crew shook their heads, and noticed that the ghost battleship in front of them had suddenly separated from the front and back.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Just when the pirates were still confused, the battleship, which had been stuck to a distance of more than 10 meters, suddenly opened fire, and a ball of flames rushed straight into the Drunkard, and the cannon wrapped in the flames was ejected with huge kinetic energy and completely penetrated the cabin of the Drunkard, and the damage to the gun deck that was taken care of was even more serious.
After the Calais-class battleship opened fire, it quickly slowed down and gave way to the Blood Axe, which was hiding behind it.
Boom Boom Boom ......
The Bloody Axe did the same, and a round of close-range face-to-face shells swept across the Drunkard's gun deck, leaving the severely damaged gun deck completely abandoned.
"My lord, the enemy has no ability to fight back." Lu Nan observed the state of the Drunkard by the light of the cannon fire.
The gun deck below the upper deck was almost transparent, and the shattered deck, the burning wood, the screaming wounded, and the faintly visible sea water on the other side indicated that the Drunkard had completely lost its ability to fight back and had become the fish on the board.
"Watch out for that Sea Hawk class." Lu Cheng knew that the movement here would definitely alarm Rex, who was chasing after the "Calais-level" in front, and the next plan needed better acting skills.
"Continue to attack the Drunkard, since you want to act, you have to act more realistically." After thinking about it, Lu Cheng decided to give up capturing the Drunkard, the first is that there are not enough people, and the second is that the Drunkard is needed as a prop.
Lu Nan hesitated: "The pirates on the ship......"
Lu Cheng waved his hand: "Don't care about their life or death, just hit the drunken ghost, whether they can survive depends on their luck." ”
Boom boom boom~
With the order to continue the attack, the Calais class and the Blood Axe kept a distance of dozens of meters and continued to bomb the dilapidated Drunkard, and the pirates on the Drunkard also cried and fled in panic, and the lucky ones could find a lifeboat to climb on, and the less fortunate ones jumped into the sea with a plank or barrel, of course, the worst luck died directly under the shelling.
After five volleys, the Drunkard was completely skinless, and after ten volleys, the Drunkard, which had caught fire in many places, turned into a torch and burst into flames.
"My lord, there's a signal from the Sea Eagle class ahead, asking what just happened."
Hehe, the show begins.
Lu Cheng had been waiting for Rex to come and inquire for a long time, such a big movement, it was strange not to alarm Rex.
"Re: My lord, the enemy just came from behind the island, and we caught him, and we have eliminated the enemy."
After a while.
"My lord, there is a message from the Sea Eagle level: the enemy is still in front of us, are you sure that the target you just found is the target?"
"Re: My lord, we are sure that we are the target of our pursuit, we have captured a few prisoners, and said that you are in front of a fake target that they sent out to disguise themselves as battleships, you can find out by paying attention."
Seahawk-class battleship.
"What! False targets? Rex said in surprise when he heard the correspondent's debriefing, and immediately picked up the monoculars and looked at it.
A large sail could be faintly seen in the distance, as it was too dark for Rex to make out the details.
"Turn the rudder on the left, and the starboard gun fires in the direction of the target!" Rex decided to try artillery fire to find out the authenticity of the enemy in front of him.
Boom Boom Boom ......
The 9 120mm cannons of the Seahawk-class battleship fired in turn, and the shells were directed in the direction of the target in front, because the distance was still very far, and there was no way to ensure the accuracy of the attack at this distance, so Rex did not expect to hit the target smoothly, and the shelling was just to test the authenticity of the target.
Crash......
Rex was surprised to find that the sail ahead had suddenly tilted after the shelling, and then the entire sail had suddenly fallen as if it had lost its support.
"It's really a fake target!" Rex immediately judged the authenticity.
"Your Excellency, the Blood Axe reports that they have captured the leader of the enemy, and they ask if they want to send the leader of the other party over for your questioning."
"Do you want to ask, send it over immediately." Rex smiled evilly and pinched his knuckles, "You dare to go against our Green Wolf Regiment, see how I clean him up, and drag the corpse behind the boat after he dies, so that anyone who dares to offend our Green Wolf Regiment can take a look and have a long memory." ”
Under the reflection of the skyrocketing fire, the two battleships lined up in a row headed towards Rex's ship at full speed, and Rex realized that there was a false target in front of him, and gave up the pursuit, put away the sails and stopped in place, waiting for the Blood Axe to send the captives over.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and under the reflection of the burning fire in the distance, Rex looked up and down the battleship with the blood axe.
Although he could only see the bow of the ship clearly, he didn't even see the location of a single damage, it seemed to be a one-sided torture, Rex nodded, the level of the blood axe looked pretty good, it was quite difficult to destroy the enemy without damage in naval battles, which is why the battleship could not fight too far away from the port, after each battle, it took time to repair the damage in the battle.
Well?
Isn't that kid with the blood axe too excited, and he doesn't put in the sails and slow down when he's so close?
Rex has been fighting at sea for many years, and immediately noticed that something was wrong, and it stands to reason that the blood axe is also a senior captain, and his judgment of distance and timing will not deviate so much.
Still not slowing down?
Rex panicked a little, the bow of the Bloodaxe rushing towards the side of his ship, without the slightest sign of slowing down.
