And you know, this is still the number of artillery only when all the merchant ships on the opposite side are concentrated.

At that time, the guns of the warships were generally evenly distributed on both sides, so there were a total of seven or eight guns, which meant that the enemy had at most about three guns on the side of the ship.

Three or so guns, even if they only bombarded one battleship, the hit rate was very low, and the reason why the pirate ship was hit by a cannonball just now.

In fact, the main reason is that at that time, the pirate ship was stationary on the sea, and bombarding stationary targets and bombarding moving targets were two completely different difficulties.

Therefore, the pirates were confident that they would not be shot by the merchant ships on the other side during the subsequent voyages.

After all, not only are they driving moving ships, but the ships they are driving are monorails that are much smaller than normal ships, and most importantly, they are still flying two at once.

The merchant ships on the opposite side could only aim at a monorail sailing ship at the same time for shelling.

Therefore, even if the pirates knew that they were going to attack with a monorail that had basically no attack ability, they would not have the slightest worry.

Then, at Nightblad's command, the pirates split into two teams and ascended to the monorail.

Among them, the Viking berserker Huska led a team, and in order to make up for Huskar's lack of ability in black magic, Nightfeng arranged the wizard Dembala on Huskar's monorail.

As for himself, he led most of the musket team on another monorail, and the musket team of dozens of people plus Yadeyan and Bingnais, his ability in terms of long-range is indeed quite strong!

After all the pirates had boarded the monorail, the two sailing ships sailed in two different directions, one left and one right, towards the merchant ship.

When they saw that the opposite side actually sent two monorail sailing ships to attack, the merchant ships on the opposite side couldn't help but be confused. Flash Dance

It was only after a minute or so had passed that they began shelling again.

However, the target they chose was not the ranged team led by Nightstriker, but the team of the Huskar side, which was dominated by melee pirates.

But fortunately, although Huska is not very good at long-range, they are also strong people with a certain strength after all.

In the face of the bombardment of the cannonballs, Huska directly abandoned the heavy axe, but raised a huge wooden shield and erected it at the bow position, so that even if a cannonball hit the bow, but because the original volume of the monorail sailing ship was not very large, and the area of Huskar's wooden shield was indeed outrageously large.

Therefore, even if a cannonball can hit a monorail, it must first pass through the defense of this wooden shield.

Although the wooden shield was only improvised by Huskar from the door panels on the ship's hold, it was certainly not as hard as a professional shield.

However, when the cannonball is weakened by the kinetic energy absorption of the wooden shield, it will not cause much damage to Huska again.

After all, the physical fitness of the Viking berserker is not boasted about.

And more importantly, on Huskar's ship, there are also troll priests who act with the ship.

Even if Huska was hit by a cannonball and caused some damage, with the Troll Priest's healing treatment, at least Huskar would be able to hold out until the monorail approached the merchant ship!

And as long as the distance between the two is reduced to only ten meters, in fact, the artillery is no longer useful.

After all, today's artillery is not like that of later generations, which can rotate almost 360 times!

In today's artillery, the firing direction is at most to reach flat fire, and it is simply impossible to lower the muzzle of the gun.

After all, once the artillery lowered the muzzle, then when the time came, there was no waiting for the artillery to fire!

The shells have already slipped from the muzzle position!

Therefore, if the monorail on which the Huska were flying approached within ten meters of the enemy's battleship, the guns on their ships would be useless. Flash Dance

And just when Nightfront thought he was lucky not to be the primary target.

At this time, there was a sudden soft sound in his ears, this soft sound was very light, if it weren't for the fact that his ears were still sensitive, then he wouldn't have noticed the existence of this soft sound at all.

And the next second after the soft sound, the sailman who was manipulating the sail on the only main mast of the monorail suddenly screamed, and then fell into the sea with a "plop".

Then on the surface of the sea, bright red blood spread rapidly and at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this strange situation, the pirates of the musket team couldn't help but panic subconsciously.

And although Ye Feng's heart didn't start to panic like those pirates at this time, his face became very ugly!

Because if he was not mistaken, then there was an eighty or ninety percent chance that the one who killed the sailman on the sailboat just now would be a sniper rifle.

After all, being able to kill a pirate at such a distance at once is not possible if it were a weapon of this era.

Because the arquebus of this era could not have reached such a long distance, after all, the monorail they were riding on at this time was at least 300 meters away from the merchant ship.

And such a distance is definitely not attainable with the range of an arquebus.

And although the range of the cannon is indeed reachable, if it is hit by a cannonball, then it is impossible for the sail operator just now to remain intact and fall into the sea.

It was precisely because these two points were ruled out, coupled with the soft gunfire that Ye Feng faintly heard just now, that he was sure that the one who killed the sail operator just now must be a sniper rifle!

And the fact that you can have a sniper rifle in this era undoubtedly shows that there must be a contractor on the merchant ship opposite.

At the same time, this also explains why this merchant ship uncharacteristically did not flee but took the initiative to attack when it encountered a pirate ship!

It turns out that this is all because of the existence of a contractor on the merchant ship opposite!

And just as Night Blade was thinking of this, the screams of the sailman were heard from the mast again, and then the sailman also fell into the sea following in the footsteps of the previous one!

Then he looked ugly and stopped the next sailman from preparing to climb the mast.

After all, in this case, knowing that there is a sniper on the other side, if he still allows the pirate to climb on the mast without obstruction, then even if he has a hundred sailmen, it will not be enough to fill it!

However, Nightstriker's actions were only a palliative, because if the sniper's movements were not restricted, then his monorail would be greatly reduced due to the unmanned sails.

In this way, theoretically, the sniper on the opposite side can use the kite flying tactics to take out his entire ship of pirates without damage!

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, the sniper immediately changed his aim after he stopped the next sailman from manipulating the sail.

When Nightmenter saw one of the pirates in the Musket team get his head shot in the head with a sniper bullet in its entirety, he knew he had to do something about it.

Otherwise, if he continued like this, his pirates would have already broken down before the sniper on the opposite side had killed all the pirates on his side.

After one after another musket pirates were killed by headshots, Nightfront finally came up with a way to temporarily stop the snipers on the other side from killing unbridledly!

Then, as he waved his hand to cast the spell, as the spell ended, an invisible ripple suddenly appeared in the void in front of him.

Then out of the void came a tall figure that looked like a hill, and the moment this huge figure appeared on the sailboat, the whole sailboat seemed to descend a little.

This is a rock golem made of stone!

The Earth-rock Golem, several meters tall, stood directly on the bow of the monorail with its massive body, like a huge stone shield to protect the pirates behind it.

Although the trajectory of a sniper rifle can reach the level of a parabola in the extreme state, no matter how extreme it is, it is impossible for the bullet to shoot like a corner.

So when the Earth Golem uses its massive body to block the bow of the ship, the sniper on the opposite side will want to hurt the pirates on the sailboat.

Then you have to clean up the Earth Rock Golem first!

However, the sniper bullet that could inflict a single headshot on the pirate only shattered a few stone chips after hitting the body of the Earth Rock Golem.

But it didn't even penetrate the body of the Earth Rock Golem!

This couldn't help but make the sniper on the opposite side stunned for a moment.

After all, after he obtained this sniper rifle, in the face of the plot characters, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, and there had never been a shot like today that could not cause huge damage to the stone monster on the ship in the distance, and it only smashed a few pieces of stone chips from it!

However, this is because the sniper thinks badly, because at this time, he still thinks that the stone monster opposite is summoned by the plot character, and he does not expect that this stone monster will be summoned by a contractor like him.

Of course, if this was a technological world like the Terminator, then he would definitely immediately think that this stone monster was summoned by the contractor, but you know, this is a world similar to the Caribbean Sea in the magical category!
