Chapter 99: The Battle Turns
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The three-pounder cannon on the side of the Xiulan roared neatly again, and 10 cannon pellets shot out, hitting the stern building like a live target of the seal, and the scene reminded Lao Wang directly of a real-world word - **.
The range of the shelling was appropriate, the angle of fire was right, and the opponent had no ability to fight back, the T-shaped tactics of the Xiulan were very successful, with 6 of the 10 three-pounder guns stirring up a column of water around the stern of the SEAL, and the remaining 4 were directly on target, hitting the stern of the SEAL.
The original gorgeous and tall stern of the medium-sized and large Galen galleon lost its majesty in an instant, and was torn to pieces by these high-speed solid cannon pellets, and the bits and pieces of debris stored in the cabins of the aft building flew all over the sky, scattering them all over the sea.
There was a burst of cheers on the Xiulan again, chasing the butt to do it, this artillery battle was too comfortable, and the Dutch sailors couldn't help but think, maybe this ship is really protected by Skula now, otherwise how to face an opponent whose firepower and tonnage are higher than their own, and they can still succeed repeatedly, and the more they fight, the more comfortable they become.
The Seal only served the Showland as a live target once, and shortly after the aft was shot, the sailor earned 1 gold mark, shouted loudly, and slid down the cable.
The mainsail of the Seal was like a beggar's trousers, and it was covered with a large brown patch, which was ugly and ugly, but it was no longer leaking, and the mainship creaked again, and was pulled by the wind-soaked mainsail, and the whole ship increased its speed and regained power.
Although the scar-faced ship just now was on the buttocks, his anti-artillery was also properly arranged, except for the ugly buttocks, the personnel of the Seal were not damaged, and the most important thing was that her rudder also escaped a catastrophe in this shelling, was not damaged, regrouped, and fought with the Xiulan again.
"All brothers, the enemy's sail has been repaired, we can't take it lightly, let's work harder, send the landlubber on the opposite side into the sea!" Lao Wang loudly cheered everyone up, now he is also a spiritual leader on the ship, and his work function is relatively leisurely, so the telescope in his hand has not stopped to observe, keep abreast of the enemy's movements, and when he saw the seal moving again, he immediately gave orders to the sailors on the ship.
The scarface of the seal is a person who doesn't like to suffer, just now he was chased and beaten by the ass, and he held back the evil fire in his stomach, at this time the trapped dragon went to sea, and immediately turned the rudder violently, and the seal drew a beautiful arc, and returned to the normal trajectory of the ship again and Xiulan in a circle, so between the rise and fall, the next time the two ships have a chance to shoot, and there is a high probability that it is still a field side to side.
"Hakan, have you recovered?" Scarface asked in a deep voice in the team channel, the first mate of the popular face is named Hakan, who is the high spiritual attribute selector in their team, because of the counterattack Takenaka's detection, he lost part of his spiritual power, he did not recover along the line, and he couldn't activate the skill, if he was in full state just now, he wouldn't even have the ability to parry because he broke the sail.
"Boss, I can do it, do I want to use it now?" replied in the team channel with a calm voice, his eyes shining like substance, this is the commonality of high spiritual power attribute selectors after they are full of energy.
"Use it now, I know it's definitely not easy to achieve such a big goal, but now that there is sea water all around, I need you to do it!" Scarface's voice was majestic and unquestionable, unlike the captain of Lao Wang, he was the absolute authority in the team, as long as he said it, it must be firmly executed!
"Yes, boss, I prepare the skills and listen to your orders. ”
Scarface heard Hakan's answer, and finally had a smile on his gloomy face, his eyes swept to the Xiulan who was about to forcibly take his stern again, slightly adjusted the angle of the rudder, sneered and finally spoke, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "You people who can only steal chickens and dogs, the next shelling, the battle will be over!"
"Miss Mary, their mobility has recovered, we can only shoot broadside next time, please get ready!" Takenaka and Scarface were at the helm, he knew the position of the two ships best, predicted the trajectory of the seal, and said to Mary in the team channel.
"Got it, don't worry, pay little attention, and we're not afraid of the side to the side. Mary responded that after a few rounds of shelling, not only were the sailors full of confidence, but Mary was also very energetic, and the victory was indeed the most encouraging.
At 260 yards, the Showland and the Seal are about to face each other again!
Lao Wang, who was observing, suddenly grabbed the binoculars, and he found that on the opposite boat, there was a thin man who was raising his hands high, and the white light in his palms was flourishing.
"Notice that there is movement on the pickers on the opposite boat. Lao Wang put away his binoculars and hurriedly explained on the team channel: "No matter what he does, Mary!
Mary leaned out from behind the deck bunker and squinted to see the white light on the deck of the Seal shining brightly, and she could see it without looking at her glasses.
How can you succeed!
The big beauty bit her lip, copied the Garand flat end, and aimed at the side of the opponent's ship, she didn't have any shooting skills herself, but her Garand was really a good gun, and it was a weapon she got by chance after entering the world.
"M1 Garand Rifle: Excellent quality ranged weapon (damage type), equipping requires strength 10, agility 12, spirit 8, strength +1 after equipping, agility +3, ranged weapon damage increased by 5%, and the item comes with the skill 'stuck shooting'.
'Stuck Shot': B-level active skill, can only be activated by the weapon carrying the skill, the user gives up the rapid-fire advantage of the M1 Garand rifle, through 5 seconds of preparation time, only fires one shot, causing 20 + 12 * X (X represents the number of bullets remaining in the magazine) damage to the target, after firing, the remaining bullets in the magazine are all stuck, and it takes 0.2 * X seconds to clear the inventory before continuing to shoot, the skill cooldown time is 3 minutes, and the cooldown time and clearance time are superimposed.
Brief description: Although this gun has some minor problems, it is still the best rifle with comprehensive performance during World War II!"
Mary took a deep breath, and Garland's crosshair locked firmly on Hakan's head, not only did she have to interrupt Hakan's spell casting, but also hurt Hakan so that he didn't dare to act rashly.
Don't think that the high-spirit attribute selector on your side is better than Takenaka, so you can casually hold it up and prepare a long and time-consuming spell in front of a gunman, don't be too arrogant!
When the 5 seconds were up, Mary pulled the trigger, and the "Stuck Shot" skill was activated, and the bullet burst out with the sound of the gun, heading straight for Hakan.
A big man like a half-cut black tower seemed to appear out of thin air, standing in front of Hakan, he held the thick iron tower shield with both hands, blocking the emaciated public-faced man tightly, Mary's 'stuck shell shot' hit the tower shield with a loud bang, the sparks splashed wildly, and he didn't know how deep he got in, and the powerful force pushed the big man back a few steps, but in the end he saved Hakan who was casting spells.
Scarface sneered at the helm, "You half-assers, don't you think I don't know how to protect the spellcaster, let you teach me?" He paused, and said in a loud voice to the big and somewhat terrifying man, "Luke, protect Hakan for me, he won't die if you die!"
"Got the boss. The black man replied angrily, with a straight expression, and poked the tower shield heavily on the deck, and in the "click" sound, the thick deck was also broken.
"Lao Wang, there is a cheeky one on the other side who is the same as you, and he can't get in!" Mary saw that the jammed shots were blocked, and she was a little anxious and said to Lao Wang.
"Got it, don't panic, command the gun position, if the gun doesn't work, change the gun, I don't believe that the selector at this level can have the level of hard resistance to shells!"
Mary was arrogant, but she was also a big gamer, so she manually unloaded the Garand magazine, withdrew the waste ammunition, and said in a loud voice: "Sailor at the gun position, small wedge, the filling remains the same, and after loading the three-pounder gun, we will have another round!"
She didn't choose to use chain bullets this time, the other party had already taken precautions, and this time the chain bullets would not have such a good effect, and it was not as good as solid cannon pellets, trying to cause damage to the hull of the Seal by relying on the head.
"Attention everyone, danger!"
The shouting of Takenaka suddenly came from the helm position, and the little guy didn't say it first in the team channel this time, but shouted it directly, which shows that the situation is urgent.
"Lao Wang, it should be the opposite skill released, Takenaka is a high spiritual attribute selector, this may lose the confrontation, but he must be sharper than us in the perception of mental power skill fluctuations!" Mary explained in the team channel: "Lao Wang, you see..."
"Got it, Zhuzi is at the helm with peace of mind, you continue to prepare for the shelling, you are all selectors, or 'classmates' in an exam, you can't break the sky if you are strong!" Lao Wang is such a personality, the more critical the moment, the more stable he is, he first calmed the army's heart in the team channel, and then said loudly: "All members of the Xiulan, the enemy is likely to have seafarers who have been in contact with the mysterious power, everyone should be more careful if they do their jobs!"
Before the words fell, the Xiulan vibrated violently, like a high-speed car being braked to death, but the brakes of the Xiulan were even more violent, because it was too urgent, the stern even left the sea, and then smashed into the water, but it was very strange that the Xiulan did not shake because of falling into the water, like a sword into a sheath, and steadily filled into a pit.
Lao Wang and Tan Liang leaned on the rudder plate with Zhuzhong, stabilized their bodies and did not fall, and then looked at the deck, in addition to Mary, the ship full of rolling hoists, and a few cannons slipped out of the gun position, which was chaotic.
"Don't panic, don't panic!" Lao Wang roared loudly, he had not found the crux of the problem yet, and he was most taboo to panic.
"Sailors, get back to your position, check the ship's surroundings, see what is in our way, Ferdinand, hold my deck!" the old king let go of the bamboo, walked a few steps to the railing in front of the helm, shouted at the whole ship, and swept to the nearby sea, and could not help but gasp.
On the sea surface around the Xiulan, a thick layer of ice shell is neatly formed, so it can explain why the Xiulan suddenly braked, and why it fell back into the sea without shaking when the stern of the ship came out of the water, it turned out that it was all stuck in the ice!
"The high spiritual attribute selector on the opposite side is a player who plays with ice, and it should be that he used some large-scale freezing skill to restrict the actions of the Xiulan. "Lao Wang was once conditioned by the secret mage in the dark world with an ice wall, and he was the first to react in the team channel, Tan Liang beside him was exactly the same as what he saw, and he naturally understood what was going on without explanation.
On the seal, Hakan turned pale, turned and sat slowly on the ground against Luke's wall-like body, gasping for breath and dripping cold sweat on the deck.
What he unleashed just now was his A-level skill, Ice, which can create an Frozen Field within a specified area and restrict the enemy's movements.
Although the skill is successful, he is still only a low-level selector after all, and the loss of releasing A-level skills is very large, and now he has to take a big breath to adjust, and quickly recover in order to catch up with the battle behind.
However, his loss was a good deal compared to the advantage the Seal had gained, and Scarface praised Hakan on the team channel, and then spun the steering wheel freely, and the ship circled past the Shirlan's side position, circled the bow of the ship, and entered the T-gun position.
"Fire!"
Scarface waited for the Seal to enter the combat position, and finally shouted viciously the voice that had been held in his chest for a long time.
He is a person who is as strong as his gambling and competitive spirit, knowing that the Xiulan is frozen in ice, and it is absolutely difficult to calmly return fire in a hurry, so he deliberately repaired the hull position very close to the Xiulan when he was steering, and now in the T-shaped gunnery position, the side of the Seal is only a short 130 yards away from the target, which is not only the excitement of the gunwales, but also the Scar even the musket team.
"Bang bang, bang bang!"
The dense rain of bullets from the seal roared, but the Xiulan still couldn't move, and could only compete with the ice, like a wild boar stuck in a net, no matter how much it struggled, it was only in vain, watching the shells and bullets attack.
Scarface stared at it deadly, and almost turned his eyeballs into cannonballs and bombarded the Xiulan, this is a 130-yard shelling, no matter how lame the gunner, he can hit the accurate and upright shelling at this distance, 12 three-pounder shells, Scarface is confident that he can get 60% of the hits, lucky, if it hits the place, it is possible to be directly broken up and the ship's capital, and the Xiulan is in danger.
The old king only had time to lie down with all the sailors on deck, and then, only to feel a vibration that was more violent than the sudden braking of the hull just now, and the whole bow of the ship, except for the bow of the Skula, was swept away by seven three-pound shells and countless musket bullets, and for a time there were thousands of holes and debris flying everywhere.
