Chapter 278: The Burning Battleship

I saw Sinet wield two sailor knives, and then the whole person rushed into the crowd like a spinning top at high speed. 35xs

The high-speed spinning blade quickly and neatly harvested the lives of the pirates, and in a short time, he killed a dozen pirates!

You know, at this time, the Viking berserker - Huskar is just taking out a few pirates!

Of course, this doesn't mean that the sea ape-Sinnet's strength is stronger than Haska's, but this time it just happened to be the right time for Sinnet's battle.

I believe that if you are facing an elite pirate with relatively strong personal combat effectiveness at this time, then Huskar is more powerful.

It's just because Sinnett is facing an ordinary pirate at this time that he behaves so eye-catching!

But even so, Night Edge was already very surprised, because the stronger the subordinates under him, the more helpful it would be for his adventures in this world.

At this time, under the counterattack of Huskar and the sea ape-Sinet, the enemy's charging momentum was stifled.

And as time passed, Yefeng's side began to fight back again, especially after Yefeng himself joined the battlefield, using his powerful magic crossbow to reduce the enemy's vital force.

After all, the lethality of his crossbow is not covered, and it definitely doesn't take more than two arrows to shoot an ordinary pirate, so in a short period of time, he has also used the crossbow to harvest nearly ten pirates, second only to the sea ape Sinnett's capture.

Finally, after blocking the counterattack for more than ten minutes, the enemy was suppressed by the counterattack and returned to the vicinity of the cabin.

Then, after another failed charge, the enemy's position finally collapsed, and most of the surviving pirates began to slowly retreat back into the cramped, complex cabins, while a small number of pirates abandoned their weapons and surrendered to Nightfeng.

Faced with the surrendered pirates, Nightfeng had his men collect their weapons and placed them on the Albatross, which had by this time been reduced to the equivalent of a supply ship in the fleet. Flash Dance

After all, armed merchant ships are not professional warships after all, strictly speaking, they are not very suitable for combat, and for Ye Feng at this time, according to the manpower under his current command, at most he can only start a battleship with all his strength, and the remaining manpower can only barely start another warship so that it does not leave the voyage of the fleet!

Therefore, in this case, of course, the Night Edge chose the Spanish battleship that was really used in battle as the main battleship.

At this time, after all the enemy had retreated into the cabin, after a short period of probing, a subordinate came to report in a short time: "Captain! There were a lot of things piled up in the cabin, most of which were barrels and crates, but there were still a few cannons scattered in the cabin. ”

"Therefore, if you want to enter the cabin and clean it up, then the manpower will be scattered and hated!"

"Humph!" Ye Feng snorted coldly and sneered, "Since that's the case, then there's no need to organize people to enter the cabin!" ”

"Aren't they going to hide in the cabin like gophers! In that case, then they don't have to come out again! ”

Speaking of this, Ye Feng turned back to his men on the battleship Verre and commanded loudly: "Move the oil on the ship, except for the oil that is enough for a week, and move the rest here immediately!" ”

Under his orders, the pirates soon brought in several large wooden barrels, which contained the essential oil for the ships to sail at sea, and in addition to cooking food, they were also necessary for the ships to light their lights at night.

As soon as the barrels were brought over, Nightfront had the contents of the barrels poured into the cabin.

Fortunately, he didn't intend to capture the enemy ship in the first place, so he dared to directly set fire to the enemy ship.

After pouring a large amount of oil into the cabin, Nightfront immediately raised his crossbow and used 20 MP to create a flaming arrow.

When the crimson crossbow bolts were fired into the dark cabin, in an instant, a large flame rose and burned in the cabin, and in a few moments, a large amount of black smoke came out from all parts of the cabin.

At the same time, in the depths of the cabin, the miserable wails of the pirates were heard continuously!

However, at this time, the arrangement made by the enemies to block the night forward made them suffer on the contrary, so the cabin was already very narrow, only barely able to accommodate two people walking side by side, and now a large number of items were artificially piled up in the cabin.

Although this can effectively block the attack of Yefeng and the others, it is also at this time, it also hinders the pirates in the cabin from trying to rush out.

Especially at this time when they are fighting for a chance to survive, all the pirates will rush out for themselves, so of course they will not have a woman's mercy towards those who stand in front of them!

Of course, people prevent people from killing people, and God prevents people from killing gods!

Therefore, after such cannibalism, there are undoubtedly fewer survivors who can successfully rush out of the cabin.

In the end, only a dozen of the pirates survived, and this was the result of counting the previous pirates who surrendered!

Looking at the billowing black smoke from the cabin, and the red flames that couldn't stop rising, Yefeng knew that the ship would definitely sink in the near future.

Even if you want to extinguish the fire now, it is too late, because at this time, all the rooms in the cabin can be said to be contaminated with sparks, and the speed of the fire is also increasing geometrically.

Therefore, after asking his men to transfer the wealth of the captain's room to the Verre, he also directed his men to quickly retreat to the Vere.

At this time, he couldn't help but be a little glad, fortunately, all the captain's cabins were built on the deck and not in the cabin, so even if the cabin caught fire, it would not affect the captain's cabin for a while.

Most of the wealth on a pirate ship is concentrated in the captain's quarters, so although Nightfeng uses arson to deal with the enemy, the final gain is mainly lost in the burned ship itself.

However, strictly speaking, the value of the pirates' armed merchant ships is not very large, at most they can only be sold for a few hundred or even thousands of gold pounds.

Therefore, the losses of the Night Edge were not very large, of course, if this was a Spanish naval warship, then he would definitely not use the method of arson.

After all, compared to ordinary ships, a regular naval warship, the value is really incomparable!

After all, the cost of manufacturing a naval warship alone is far beyond the reach of a corsair.

It's like the lowest-grade VI-class battleship in the navy, which costs as much as 5,000 gold pounds, and if it is a V-class battleship, then it is about 15,000 gold pounds.

Of course, this was nothing compared to the cost of the top I-class battleship at that time, because the manufacturing cost of an I-class battleship at that time was as high as hundreds of thousands of gold pounds.

However, such a warship, even if it is the navy of country Y, only has less than ten ships!

Therefore, if this time it is against a regular warship of the navy, then Ye Feng will sacrifice the lives of the pirates, and he will definitely not use this method of fire attack!

Because this time the pirates came with the idea of robbing a big sum, so the wealth carried by the pirate ship itself is also limited, even in the captain's room, Ye Feng only harvested half a box of gold pounds, roughly counting, only a few hundred gold pounds.

Fortunately, he didn't pay much attention to these worldly riches, because he couldn't take these gold pounds out, so they didn't mean much to him.

After carrying half a box of gold pounds back to the Vere, Nightfeng and his men quickly jumped back onto the Vere.

As soon as all the pirates had returned to the Verre, he immediately had the ships move away from the ship, because if the fire spread, the ship would become a ship of fire, and it would easily spread to the ships in its vicinity.

Sure enough, not long after the Ver was far away from the enemy ship, a raging fire broke out on the enemy ship, and although it was a dazzling day, the light of the fire was as striking as it was in the night!

And when the fire was blazing, a large number of sharks that had gathered around because of blood also fled immediately.

Because at this time, the temperature of the sea water in this sea area is gradually boiling under the burning of the fire!

Scientists have experimented on the highest temperature that the human body can tolerate in a dry air environment: the human body can last for a full 1 hour in a 71C environment; At 82C, it can last for 49 minutes; At 93C, it can last for 33 minutes; At 104C, it can only last for 26 minutes, but according to the relevant literature, the limit temperature that the human body can tolerate seems to be higher

Compared with humans who can tolerate temperatures of up to 114 degrees, marine organisms can only tolerate temperatures of more than 60 degrees at most, which is only half of that of humans.

Therefore, marine organisms are very sensitive to changes in the temperature of the surrounding environment.

Therefore, although the temperature increase in the sea area is not very obvious now, the sharks who are particularly sensitive to temperature are the first to notice it.

Sure enough, shortly after the sharks left, the entire pirate ship, which was blazing with fire, began to sink into the water.
