Chapter 380: Artillery Modification

When the mermaid princess decisively pulled out a dark blue shell and crushed it, and soon, before the British navy could return to the battleship and prepare to set sail, a large number of mermaids had already surrounded the coastline of Whitehat Bay.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a very powerful wizard in the navy, after the mermaid appeared, he quickly discovered the magic fluctuations emitted by the strong man in the mermaid clan, and decisively ordered the ship to abandon the ship and return to the island land.

Then when the mermaid uses her magic power to set off the wind and waves, then what awaits the navy is only the fate of the corpse sinking into the sea.

After all, no matter how strong the combat quality of these navies is, it is absolutely impossible for them to defeat the mermaid in the sea, after all, no matter how strong the human race is, it also needs to breathe!

And what about the mermaids!

They are like real fish in the seawater, they don't breathe with lungs at all, but give birth to an organ that resembles the gills of a fish.

However, although the navy was lucky to escape their lives, at the same time, they were also besieged on the island, forming a stalemate with the mermaid clan.

Because no matter how strong the navy is, it will never be able to defeat the delicate mermaid girl if it falls into the water, in the same way, no matter how strong the mana mermaid is, they will enter the land from the sea, and they will immediately be so weak that even ordinary pirates can't beat it.

And the mermaid's ability to easily set off storms and waves in the ocean is not a deterrent to enemies on land.

Then, when the mermaid tried to release the navy in exchange for the mermaid captured by the navy, the navy decisively vetoed it.

Then came the long standoff.

After a half-day stalemate, it was the navy that couldn't help it, and the reason was very simple, the purpose of their trip was to dedicate the living mermaid to the queen at such a large cost.

The problem was that they could still rely on the food they had brought down from the warship, and the fact that there were many water sources on the island allowed them to hold on. 35xs

However, the captured mermaids could not last a few days, because although the mermaids did not look much different from humans on the outside, in essence, they and humans actually belonged to two different species, so human food, such as bread, was not in the mermaid's recipe at all.

It is not necessary for the navy to contribute their own flesh and blood, if the commander really gives such an order, then the disintegration of the team is a matter of an instant.

When all the mermaids are dead, then the purpose of their trip will also indicate a complete failure, after all, only the heart of a living mermaid can be effective.

Therefore, if all the captured mermaids are dead, then even if they are lucky enough to escape here, the fate that awaits them is conceivable.

So in the end, the wizard in the team immediately made a decisive choice, which was to let some of the navy leave here with a mermaid, while he stayed here with most of the navy and other captives.

Because they care about the life of the mermaid princess, the mermaid clan has no choice but to helplessly watch Colonel Storm Carter leave here with the mermaid Selena.

After all, compared to the life of a princess, how can an ordinary mermaid compare!

After listening to the narration of the mermaid Selena, Night Blade was thoughtful, there was no doubt that the main difficulty of this A-class mission should be on the mysterious and powerful wizard.

Because he had already seen the combat effectiveness of the members of the Royal Guard in the battle just now, it was no exaggeration to say that one Royal Guard was comparable to several elite pirates.

However, even if it is estimated in this way, if the nearly forty members of the Royal Guard are compared with the comprehensive strength shown by Ye Feng at this time, then the difficulty of the mission will definitely not exceed the B level, so the mission has crossed a level from the B level to the A level.

The culprit is undoubtedly the mysterious wizard!

It's a pity that Selena, the mermaid, has never seen the wizard's move, so Yefeng can't calculate the wizard's approximate strength, and then he continues to ask Selena about the whereabouts of Selena's current group of enemies.

According to Selena, the enemy did not penetrate deep into the interior of the island, but stationed in the woods near the coastline.

However, although it is said to be close to the coastline, it is actually at least a dozen miles away from the sea, and even ordinary people have to walk for at least nearly an hour, let alone a mermaid?

Because for the contractor, defeating the enemy will not get even a little benefit, and only by completely killing the enemy can there be a chance to burst the reward key.

Therefore, the purpose of Ye Feng this time is also very clear, even if he uses all the forces under his command, he must complete this mission, after all, it is impossible for these forces to leave this world with him.

But even if it is fighting, it is necessary to pay attention to strategy, and you can't fight blindly and recklessly!

Therefore, Ye Feng was fixed on the deck like an old monk, but unlike him, who was quiet on the outside, his mind was thinking fiercely about what to do to improve the success rate of the mission.

After spending hours pondering, he felt that at least half of his brain cells had died during this time, but he had finally come up with a battle method that satisfied him.

When Yefeng subconsciously tried to move his body, he found that his neck and limbs suddenly became stiff and sore, which was the result of his inability to move for several hours.

So then he could only bend his neck and give orders to the pirates in a very strange way.

First, he had the pirates remove the twelve-pounder and ten three-pounder guns from the ship and carry them to the deck, and then he had the pirates who were familiar with carpentry gather on the deck.

When the pirates carried the heavy guns to the deck, there were already more than a dozen pirates gathered on the deck, these pirates were relatively good at carpentry, in fact, because the ships were always measured in months, and natural disasters such as reefs and storms on the sea could not be prevented.

At this time, if there is any damage to the ship, it is impossible to wait until it returns to the shipyard to repair it, and at this time, it is usually the pirates who do the repairs themselves.

As a result, many pirates were able to make temporary cameos as carpenters.

At this time, the dozen or so pirates on the deck were better at carpentry than the other pirates.

Looking at the dozen or so pirates who were good at carpentry, Yefeng thought for a moment and said, "If I want to make a shelf, with four wheels underneath the shelf, to transport the cannon to the land, can you assemble it for me?" ”

The pirates looked at each other, and after a while, a relatively old pirate stood up and said, "Captain, it's not difficult to make what you said, but the problem is that a three-pound cannon is fine, but if it's a twelve-pound heavy gun, then it can't bear the weight at all, unless it's all made of iron." ”

"After all, a twelve-pound gun is already considered to be in the category of heavy artillery, and its recoil when firing is simply not something that wood can withstand."

"And if the gun mount is made of iron, of course, there will be no situation where the artillery recoil cannot be withheld, but the problem is that in the current environment, it is impossible for us to make a gun carriage out of thin air with iron!"

Looking at the twelve-pounder gun, which weighed a ton, and imagined the tragedy caused by the huge recoil force that caused the gun carriage under its seat to be torn apart in an instant, he couldn't help but shudder.

It is better to avoid such a scenario than to avoid it, and let others taste it before the enemy has tasted the power of the twelve-pounder cannon.

Then, in the discussion of everyone's words, we finally came up with an effective solution.

That is to abandon this part of the gun base, and directly install two wheels on both sides of the gun, so that even a twelve-pound heavy gun can barely be pushed.

In fact, this form of artillery already has the charm of the field artillery of later generations.

Then everyone continued to think about it with this core idea, and soon, the general design idea was completely finalized.

In the end, when the modified cannon was completed, Nightfeng paid for it with three skeleton horses and two tires on a motorcycle terminator!

Because in order not to startle the snakes, they did not land on the coastline closest to the naval camp, but went a little further around and landed in a place where the navy could not see.

This meant that they had to carry the heavy cannon on foot for dozens of miles, and for that they had to pay thirty pirates to walk in three groups, each in groups of ten.

But you know, in addition to this heavy cannon, they also have to transport ten three-pounder guns to act together!

In this way, the number of people transporting artillery alone basically accounts for nearly half of the number of people in the operation, and such combat behavior is certainly not ideal.

In the end, it was Ye Feng who suddenly had an idea, and thought of the skeleton war horse he had summoned, because the skeleton war horse also belonged to the relationship of undead creatures, so they would not feel tired at all, so they could always pull the cannon without resting.

However, because of this, the three skeleton knights under his command could only dismount and become infantry in the end, but compared to the damage caused by the twelve-pound heavy cannon, the three skeleton knights could only give in.
