And when the confrontation and fighting on the island were in full swing, the dozen or so pirate ships on the coast were also in a dilemma at this time.

The ones that had spread out from both sides and receded

The sail battleship, at this moment, is like a fearless warrior, stepping on the roaring waves, rounding from the rear.

Just in case, Taddis actually still had a lot of men on the pirate ship, but the large army, the vast majority of the elite pirates, finally went ashore.

They don't have any advantage in numbers at this time, and if they want to start any fight at sea, they will naturally be in a disadvantageous situation.

"Damn it!"

On the deck, Rob looked at the scene in front of him and scolded in a low voice, and then the whole person's thoughts turned like never before.

As the number one person in this group of pirates at this time, except for Tardish, the responsibility of staying behind the battleship and retaining the retreat naturally fell to him.

Originally, I thought that the other party was afraid of them, so the two sides immediately retreated as soon as they met each other, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

However, in such a drifting island, the number of troops is limited after all, and the other party sends a large number of soldiers to chase them down at sea, but it is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

If they can really wipe out all of them, if not, I am afraid that the soldiers left on the Drifting Island will not be able to parry the fierce pirates under Tardis at all, and once the Drifting Island is breached, allowing them to control the situation on the entire island, these dozen sail warships and those sailors on it, no matter how powerful they are, will be useless after all.

Although he was only a pirate, Rob had stumbled at sea for so many years, so he was able to analyze the situation in a matter of moments.

In any case, there was nothing to be done at the moment, and after glancing at the approaching sailboat, Rob began to give orders.

"Let everyone retreat first and back to distance themselves from each other, as long as the boss can get rid of those guys, everything will not be a problem."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

……

As Rob's order was given, the voices around him also responded immediately, and then the figures on more than a dozen pirate ships moved in unison.

Raising the sails, turning the rudder, paddling...... A pirate moves in an orderly manner.

At this time, there is still a considerable distance between the two sides, and it is not easy for these enemy ships on the opposite side to pursue them, and as long as they delay for a while, let Tadis and them achieve something on the island, then they will only be nervous and panicked, so these pirates seem so calm.

One thought after another spun rapidly, and after making sure that there were no loopholes, Rob breathed a sigh of relief, and then, all they needed to do was to wait for a long time, but before that, they might have to entangle with these warships.

And just as the thoughts in his heart were racing, Rob vaguely saw that there seemed to be some shadow passing in the sky, like a bird, or something else.

But what Rob never imagined was that the faint, inconspicuous shadow would then turn into the most terrifying black tide, and then mercilessly drown over.

"Boom-"

Silently, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the sky, and then under the rendering of the fiery red sun, a burst of blazing and brilliant light suddenly bloomed in the sky like brilliant fireworks.

The pomegranate-like black crushed object fell abruptly on the surface of the sea, like a boulder falling down, and with the roar of the noise, the sea immediately brought a burst of rising waves.

The originally calm sea was now like a wild beast, and it began to become manic.

However, this is only the beginning, and what follows is a torrential offensive.

As grenades continued to fall, the sea began to roll, and then like a boiling, walls of water swayed, whistling and lapping on the sea, forming a chaotic wind, as if the demons of the darkness before dawn danced.

At the same moment, at a height of 100 meters above the sea, more than 20 grenadiers riding on griffins were still methodically throwing grenades at the sea below.

Grenades are a very old weapon, and they have been used in Europe since the Byzantine period, but in the modern sense, grenades have only been used on the battlefield during the Glorious Revolution in England.

Of course, the grenade at the beginning was very powerful, and it was easy to hurt your own people. The first professional grenadier in Europe was the restructuring of the French army under Louis XIV. The new grenadiers use the traditional smoothbore gun tactic of using grenades, that is, standing in a horizontal line and firing a salvo of grenades (in fact, throwing) to compensate for the lack of power of individual grenades.

Soon, the British also began to train two guards regiments as grenadiers, and Prussia, Austria, Spain, Russia and other major European countries soon followed.

The grenadiers of that era were literally standing in a row throwing grenades.

At the beginning of its creation, the grenadier regiment was a higher level of ordinary soldiers, and was regarded as an elite.

Unlike a truly modern grenade, the grenade at that time was simply a shrunken howitzer projectile, and when ignited, it burned rapidly, but you had to keep your composure and not slip your hand.

It is necessary to follow the command of the non-commissioned officer to throw it uniformly, and to throw it far enough, and at the same time there are constantly enemy lead bullets flying around you, which can only be done by experienced battlefield veterans, or at least recruits who have been trained for a long time.

Moreover, the grenades at that time had absolutely nothing to do with the word "light", and the soldiers of the grenadier regiment were basically tall and strong, with great arm strength.

And the most extreme at this point is Russia, in the time of Alexander I, recruits directly after enlisting in the army according to the general direction of the height, only the tallest and strongest can become grenadiers, and the shortest suitable for hiding in the grass will participate in light infantry training, so it can be said that the grenadiers from the beginning of the rank of a higher than the general line.

Although the grenadier's grenade throw has a shorter range than the smoothbore gun, it is a very deterrent attack as long as it is within reach. No matter how powerful the smoothbore gun is, it can only hit the soldiers in the first one or two rows of the line, and the power of the grenade can directly kill the entire column of the enemy's soldiers, thereby disrupting the enemy's formation, and at the same time causing panic and even collapse of the whole line among the soldiers in the rear row of the enemy.

Coupled with the fact that grenadiers were generally stronger than ordinary soldiers, in the era of platoon guns, grenadiers were usually used as the most important blow to attack the fortification, turn the tide of the local battlefield, or crush the enemy: the standard tactic was to line up the guns, then march in line, then throw the grenadiers when the grenadiers reached the distance of the grenades, and then charge directly with bayonets, and the opposite side was often broken up at this time......

In the French army during the time of the great emperor of the French Empire, due to the popularity of cylindrical hats without brims in the armies of continental Europe, grenadiers began to gradually say goodbye to that kind of pointed hat.

And slowly, with the improvement and popularization of howitzers, rifled guns and other long-range killing weapons, the simple and crude combat aspect of grenadiers is slowly losing its advantage. By the time of the Great Emperor, although it was still the golden age of grenadiers, the bravery of grenadiers like the French veterans of the Guards was still the hallmark of that era, and their tradition of bearskin top hats is still alive and well in England.

And in this other world, because of the griffin, a creature that can soar in the sky at will, the ability of the grenadier private has been infinitely expanded and has become a bug-like existence.

In the past, when they were on the battlefield, the grenadiers grasped the time of grenade throwing, but also had to take care of the various lead bullets and weapons that constantly flew by them, which required the psychological quality of these grenadier soldiers to be high, of course, in this otherworld, in this blue sky, they were not worried about any danger around them, they only needed to grasp the time to throw grenades, because no matter how crazy the enemy they encountered, they could not attack them at all.

Of course, the griffin version of the grenadier corporal has a lot of limitations, in order to avoid the various crises that may be encountered when flying at low altitude, so when carrying out throwing operations, griffins often rise to a height of 100 meters before they can move, and at such a distance, coupled with the influence of wind speed, air flow and other factors, so the throwing accuracy is always a bit of a headache.

Second, is the weight of the grenade, the grenade of this era is far less light than that of later generations, and the exaggerated grenade, a weight of 5 pounds, is actually very inconvenient to carry, although the carrying capacity of the griffin is not weak, but after sitting on a grenadier private, the number of grenades carried, in fact, is quite limited, short-distance flight is good, as long as the distance is slightly longer, there is not much grenade stored is bound to be reduced.

Finally, there is the number of griffins, and the griffin version of the grenadier private, the core is naturally in the griffin, not the grenadier private. After all, the grenadier private Chopin can be recruited directly, but the griffin is not, and the resource point on the drifting island, only three griffons can be recruited in a month, otherwise, Chopin can directly form an "air combat fleet", in this era, the air force has almost no construction of the otherworld, he can use the combination of griffin and grenadier to form the "invincible armada", directly on the West Sea.

"Boom Boom-"

The roar of thunder sounded in Robb's ears one after another, and as the grenades fell, the entire sea seemed to burn at this time, and the turbulent air waves collided and stirred back and forth.

When the first pineapple-like grenade fell, Robb's heart was completely blank, and the sudden encounter and blow made him completely panicked in a hurry, and he didn't know what to do.

He never expected that the sail warships on both sides had not yet arrived, and the attack that fell suddenly from the sky came with a fierce attack.

"How is that possible? How can it be? How can it be! ”

Needless to say, the agitation in Rob's heart at this time naturally did not need to be said, in the West Sea, he had been wandering for nearly twenty years, but he had never seen this scene in front of him, the black pressed items fell, and then burst into an earth-shattering roar like thunder.

It's just that after the first black pressed item fell, I don't know if it was a fluke or some other reason, but it was separated from the pirate ships by a considerable distance, and basically did not cause any damage to these warships and the sailors on it.

However, then, there were dozens of black pressed items that fell endlessly, but none of them smashed on these pirate ships, if at the beginning it could be explained by the word lucky, then then all this was really a bit abnormal.

"Damn it!"

At this time, Rob reacted with some hindsight, and then scolded fiercely.

The reason why the black pressed items fell into the sea was because the other party did not aim at their warships at all, otherwise, so many grenades, no matter how bad the accuracy was, it would not be possible for all of them to fail, and from beginning to end, what the other party did was to hinder their retreat.

After the black and crushed items fell on the surface of the sea, the turbulent waves began to stir continuously, making it difficult for the dozen or so pirate ships that had turned their rudders to leave here to make any moves.

And just such a delay, the sail warships that were originally located on both sides are approaching quickly.

And then, the fierce collision was like a grenade exploding in the sea, wrapped in the raging waves, roaring, and then, on the verge of exploding......

**********

Bright red and bright white are intertwined, and heat and death coexist.

When the Polish cavalry on both sides tore through the defensive fortress forged by Tadis, it was the pirate army that was advancing frantically at this time that bore the brunt of the attack.

There are tigers in front and wolves in the back, and the situation of these pirates at this time can almost be said to be extremely embarrassing.

Although these soldiers in front of him were passively defending from beginning to end, the other party had been doing everything perfectly, making these always fierce pirates helpless.

In this case, if they were charged by the cavalry on both sides, and the enemy troops in front of them who would counterattack at the first time, all the pirates felt that they were completely struggling in the cracks, and there was not much possibility of survival.

However, what happened next was a surprise to all the pirates.

After simply charging one side, after breaking up the ranks of these pirates, these cavalry actually stopped on both sides, and at the same time, the soldiers of the French Empire, who had been at the forefront of the defense, finally showed their hideous fangs.

The abrupt change in the tide of battle made Taddis stunned, his face turned from blue to purple, and after a period of change, it finally turned into a weak pale......
