Chapter Ninety-One: Moving Forward Under Artillery Fire
"Hold the boat steady!" The sailors shouted, ran to the heights, and by the weight of the human body, finally balanced the ship back.
"Port side gun! The upper deck, the upper deck was penetrated! One of the gunners shouted, and he saw a patch of light through the crack in the iron fence overhead...... From here, you can see that a large piece of the open deck has been blown away, and the Kraken has been hit hard!
August's heart twitched, this ship was nominally his! Originally, he thought that after Lu Yuan found a better ship, he would become the captain of the "Kraken", and the performance of this ship had already made him very satisfied. But now...... "How's it going?!" He shouted at the sailman, who was standing in the doorway of the cabin, acting as a herald.
Inquiries were passed on layer by layer, layer by layer.
Something seems to have been heard. The sailman's eyes were red, he was panting, his nostrils dilated, he turned his head, and he yelled at his neck.
"The captain said that in the midst of artillery fire, we are still charging!"
********
Fifty meters away!
That's almost the length of two ships combined!
Lu Yuan raised his hand, pinched a wooden thorn inserted into his cheek with two fingers, and pulled it out with a little force. This wooden thorn was pierced directly under the eye, and because of this, Lu Yuan gave up this place and rescued the more important place first. He was now covered in wounds from the explosion. And Lu Yuan only blocked the fatal part.
He didn't want to consume more of his true qi here. His magic is waiting for the moment to explode!
The Kraken looks miserable as it is now.
The nose of the bow of the ship was shattered and carved into the bow of the Siren, and now only a pair of feet remain. A shell flew past the port side, taking with it a large stretch of the open deck. If there were still artillery there, the tumbling artillery would be devastating! The last scar was a 32-pound shell in the middle of the foredeck! The steel cannonballs made their way through the three decks to the bottom of the bunk, smashing the stored biscuits to the ground!
This is simply the same as the "Kraken" in the past, relying on the performance of ships and the accurate shelling of Lu Yuan. A replica of ravaging & ravaging other ships!
Lu Yuan looked up. I didn't find out where the sky was!
Despite the heavy losses, Lu Yuan managed to save the most important part - the sails that kept the ship at speed, the rudder and tail rudder that kept the ship steering, the sailors who hid on the lower deck, intact, and Lu Yuan himself! Therefore, now the "Kraken" is equivalent to carrying full combat power. Charge towards the Seawolf at hand!
It's your turn to make a choice!
Edward. Lowe was now standing on the stern with an angry expression. He kept cursing at the gunners. His hair and shirt were all soaked with sweat and tangled together. Looking at the "Kraken", which was already close at hand, he twitched the corner of his eye nervously. Only then did he order, "Right full rudder!" Winding bombs! Tell the gunner! If you can't hit it again, TMD will jump the deck for Lao Tzu! ”
"Captain!" The first mate's eyes widened, his eyes were now full of tears, and he was drenched in sweat, but he really couldn't sit idly by! "Let's jump! Slow down now, we still have a big advantage! "Now the bow of the Siren is facing the stern of the Seawolf, the Seawolf has a stern that is not very high, but it is three meters higher than the Kraken!
It will be the height difference between life and death!
The Kraken's crew will need to climb along the ropes in order to climb aboard the Seawolf! But the "Seawolf" only needs to arrange a shotgun on the stern and bombard the deck of the "Kraken"! You'll be able to win! Their sailors will fall like wheat!
"No!" Edward flatly rejected his suggestion, "Right full rudder!" I'm going to break his mast with a chainball, and I'm going to dismember her with a cannonball, little by little! This damned, hellish bastard! Knave! Pirate! He cursed incessantly, completely forgetting that he was not only a British naval officer, but also a pirate.
The first mate was at a loss, and it was only then that he realized that Edward. It's not the first time that Lowe has completely ignored the traditions and honors of the pirates, as he has always shown, and has avoided such a thing as jumping battles. It turned out that what he had been following was another tradition and honor! That's the tradition of the British Navy!
Since winning the naval battle with Spain, the British mania for naval artillery has reached its peak! More than half of the battleship was made up of artillery crews! Jumpers? There was no need for specialized personnel, they solved it by issuing a short knife to the gunner......
Facing the charging Kraken, the Seawolf creaked and spun its heavy and massive body, like a monster, lying in front of the Kraken! Eleven large-caliber 32-pounder guns, loaded with chain shells, with the muzzles slightly raised, aimed at the only remaining mast of the Siren!
Thirty meters! In this era, the angle of rotation of the artillery left and right was very small, and Lu Yuan completely ignored the seven artillery pieces that lost their firing angle on the left and right, and stared at the four on the front!
At the moment when the muzzle of the gun spewed flames, Lu Yuan fell down towards the deck, and at the same time, he hooked his right foot and kicked the rudder hard, and the last operation was a one! A chain bullet with iron balls at both ends and iron chains in the middle, whirling and whistling across the deck, right in the middle of the rudder! Two iron balls spin, churning the rudder and the table to pieces!
Close at hand, the gunners of the "Seawolf", whose main body is the British, have finally played to their level! The four cannons hit the "Kraken" one after another! Flatten out all the bumps on her deck!
Lu Yuan heard an ominous "click" sound again, and the main mast finally failed to escape this time, and was cut off by two chain bullets! Fell forward!
The last 10 meters!
The two ships could even clearly see what was going on each other's decks!
But the ship was full of people, cheering!
The other is in ruins, a mess - losing power, losing its rudder...... "Kraken" was pushed into the abyss at the last moment! In the chorus cheers of the "Seawolf", Captain Edward . Lowe begins to fulfill his promise! He steered the hull of the Seawolf and began to turn slowly. Prepare to dodge the Kraken as it stalls and crashes into it, and then smash her with a cannon!
Now, there is no Kraken left, only a pile of sea junk in the future......
"Just like you see!" Edward. Luo patted the shoulder of the eldest officer, who was a little distracted, and said with a slight meaning, "We won!" ”
The first mate breathed a sigh of relief, if there was a loss, but it was good to win! He now really felt that an era was coming to an end......
"What's that?" Seeing something, he subconsciously asked.
A black ball rises from the ruins of the Kraken's deck. It crossed the distance of ten meters behind the most difficult point of the two boats. With lightning speed, it slammed into the middle of the sail and deck!
"God!" He heard Edward muttering in horror, and then the "ball" exploded into flames with a bang!
“NO!!!”
But it all worked like a nightmare. Fireballs don't just ignite countless sails. Also shrouded in powder kegs piled under the mainmast...... Know the way. In order to increase the rate of fire of artillery, the British used to pile up gunpowder and shells that had just been brought up!
"Boom! Rumble! "The explosion of two powder kegs in quick succession, blowing off the mainmast at the same time. A few cannonballs were also rolled up and a bloody ditch was plowed on the deck! Countless blood and severed limbs flew on the deck, like hell descending.
Before the first mate could wake up from the nightmare, he heard a loud bang again, and the hull of the ship shook violently, and the first mate slipped and fell on the deck unprepared. He looked up and groaned, "God, help us!" ”
Because the "Kraken" turned around in a small circle for some reason, and collided with the "Seawolf"! And since the bow of the "Kraken" was destroyed, she is now raised high and rests on the waist of the "Sea Wolf", which has no time to turn!
With the towering bow on the low waist, the "Seawolf" lost its advantage in height difference, looking at the chaotic deck, looking at the sailors who flocked to the deck on the other side, the first mate covered his face with both hands "I, what should I do?" ”
****
[You killed the Bronze contractor of the "Dead Squad" and obtained a Bronze Chest and 1000 points. 】
Hearing the prompt, Lu Yuan was slightly stunned, and then left it behind. Know that the opportunity is fleeting! Now it's ready to shoot and have to be sent! Even if the "Dead Squad" is all on the ship, Lu Yuan must rush forward now to divide life and death!
"Charge!" "Charge!"
After nine deaths, the probability of jumping has finally increased from 0.3% to 100%! Lu Yuan took all the sailors who had gathered behind him at this time, and with a loud roar, countless hooks and locks were thrown out, tying the two boats tightly together!
"Kill!" Lu Yuan spewed out a "roaring technique" at the twenty or so musketeers on the side of the ship, instantly disintegrating the efforts of the first mate! The musketeers staggered their guns, but they couldn't stop the angry crew of the "Kraken" from rushing up!
It almost turned into a one-sided slaughter!
The Seawolf gunners, who had fought valiantly in naval battles, were decisive and tragic when they faced an opponent with a large scimitar and at least two short muskets in their arms! Almost slashed and killed by one-sided, even if you surrender, you will be killed without hesitation!
Lu Yuan pretended not to see it, and charged forward with the most elite part. He knew that after the long thirty minutes before him, and the fear that he could only be beaten and unable to fight back, the sailors urgently needed to kill to vent their emotions!
"Edward. Lo! Get out! Lu Yuan carried a sword in each hand, and cut off the first mate's unsightly head with one sword! Drawing his sword and looking around, he shouted. On this ship, he did not intend to keep any prisoners, because the hatred between the two ships had already reached too deep, and he did not need to solicit all kinds of people.
Suddenly, I heard a scream behind him and a shout from August. As soon as Lu Yuan turned around, he saw a man dressed almost the same as an ordinary sailor, holding two thin swords and attacking August quickly. August was clumsy like a pig at this time, and he was stabbed several times in an instant, soaked in blood, and the speed of the sword was almost like Lin Pingzhi in a certain period!
And around Edward, seven or eight Lu Yuan's crew members fell sideways, apparently by his sneak attack.
Could it be the contractor of the "Squad of the Dead"? Lu Yuan didn't step forward immediately, and took a picture of the identification technique first.
————————
Gold LV1 Captain: Edward. Lowe
Identity: British privateer captain. Health: Physically strong.
Personal Stunt: Advanced Combat Defense. Fatal blow, unstoppable, terrifying, swordsmanship, even breath and qi, sword out like the wind
————————
Captain of the Seawolf! The sword is like the wind? Your sister is looking for you! I have to hack you to death! Otherwise, depressed in the world!
Lu Yuan rushed into the battle group with a short bow, and sent August out of the battle with a push of his elbow. Edward. Luo Wei screamed, and his speed increased again, but it was strengthened with three stunts in a row. It's so fast that you can barely see a human figure.
Lu Yuan also roared. Lift the True Qi and accelerate the body to an extremely fast speed.
The two of them fought together in an instant, only to hear the sound of blades like raindrops, and quickly separated in the blink of an eye!
"Ahem!". Lu Yuan coughed violently. Spurting out a mouthful of blood. With the body shaking. Blood began to spurt out from the stabbing wounds that were visible everywhere, and the deadliest one went straight through the lungs! His fingers flicked around his body like a star pill jumping, sealing the acupuncture points. Stop the bleeding instantly!
When Lu Yuan looked up at his opponent.
Edward. Luo also had four sword wounds from the stabbing of "Tanatos" on his body, which also spurted blood. It's just that although he tried hard to do something, the last wound had already killed him! As he struggled, a line of blood slowly appeared on Edward's neck, extending to the back of his neck, and then his head fell off!
Lu Yuan looked at Edward. Luo's corpse coldly shook the "narwhal" and shook off the last few blood droplets. If Naples is a near-crushing divine power, then Edward is an extremely agile velocity stream! His swordsmanship does follow the path of "only fast and unbreakable". But Lu Yuan is quite familiar with this style of play, fast speed is not enough, as long as he does not hit the vital point, the lethality is limited.
When both sides were fast swords, at that moment, the rabbit rose and fell, and the relative speed was extremely fast, Lu Yuan hit the four swords without dodging, but at that moment he grabbed the flaw and chopped off the head of the captain of the "Seawolf" with one sword!
"Help! Captain! Seeing that he ended the battle in an instant, the miserable Auguste lay on the side and shouted, and at this time the battle on the deck was nearing its end, and Jacques and Elizabeth were cleaning up the mess with the people. Only then did Lu Yuan notice that not only Elizabeth, but also Misha, Helen and even King were armed with muskets and short knives, and participated in the battle of Jumping Bang in full gear.
"This is what you help Lao Tzu take care of?! All TMD rushed to the front line! One by one...... Just TM an obedient one! ”
Lu Yuan couldn't help but scold.
August turned his head away.
"You rammer! Lao Tzu said that he is an obedient person, you turn your hair! ”
Lu Yuan pondered, turned his head thoughtfully, and sure enough, he saw the "obedient" Zhuo Xiaoji. She really stayed on the "Kraken" very obediently - that is, your sister has a small iron pot on her head, a Spanish musket in her hand and is excitedly aiming, three on her back, and two under her feet, you think you are a sharp brother!
"Captain! Help me! Seeing that Lu Yuan walked to his side, he was still looking around and not doing "business" at all, August had to remind him again that there was still a seriously injured person here! Lu Yuan checked with a smile, as expected, Edward. Luo's fast sword can do even more limited damage to this thick-skinned guy!
"For your sake, I'll let you go this time!" He took out a bottle of French wine and handed it to Auguste, "Save a little drink, I don't have much!" ”
"Thanks, Captain!" August's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the bottle and stuffed it into his arms quickly. Then he got up with a grunt, took out a bottle of inferior rum and poured it violently, and staggered away...... Damn drunkards! Damn Caribbean traditions!
Lu Yuan walked into the cabin and carefully inspected it up and down, and after making sure that no other members of the "Dead Squad" were found, he breathed a sigh of relief. The relationship with Morgan has become hostile, and now is really not a good time to make a strong enemy.
He didn't know that the tradition of the "Dead Squad" was to blend in with the various forces, manipulate behind the scenes, and then wait for the best time to show up and reap the fruits of victory. This time, he just killed a newcomer on the other side, who was just sent to Morgan's fleet to act as an eye and ear. When the two ships met, he was unlucky enough to sit under the mainmast, only to be sent directly into the sky by a powder keg and return to the arms of the Lord God.
"That guy must be called Doug!" Lu Yuan complained, pushed the door and walked out of the cabin.
The scene in front of him made him stop in surprise.
The ship had been largely cleared, and the few remaining captives had been dropped aboard the Kraken.
In front of his eyes, whether it was Jacques, who had been injured before, or Auguste, who had recently been injured; Whether it is Misha and Elizabeth, the women who went to battle, or the old man Helende and Young Kim, who also participated in the battle; Both the gunners in hand-to-hand combat and the stormtroopers who had been on the front line were all gathered on the deck at this time, waiting next to this door.
He glanced at countless pairs of excited, even tearful eyes, looking at him with burning heat, waiting for him.
Doug the parrot fluttered and landed on Lu Yuan's shoulder, "Captain! Did we win? We won, right? ”
"Yes, we won." Lu Yuan pulled out his scimitar and thrust it the stern, shouting, "We are victorious!" ”
"Oh~! Oh~! Hundreds of people cheered together, and the deck instantly turned into a sea of joy! (To be continued......)
