Chapter 014: A Bloody Battle
"Vice-Captain! Thirty degrees to the port side, eleven nautical miles, there was a flash of artillery fire! ”
The body of the old fur dog who saw the fireworks was as straight as a gun, and he usually looked like a messy chicken nest, and he didn't know when he had put on a dark black dogskin commander's hat on his head, and with a "zheng" sound, he pulled out the rusty stabbing sword on his waist, and shouted loudly in the voice of the ugly male duck:
"Left full rudder! Spinnaker and full speed ahead! ”
At this time, the old fur seal's body flashed with dazzling white light, and under the finger of his sword, the entire ship was shrouded in a faint white light.
Although the adventurer will not be idle and bored to let the old fur dog come to give orders on his behalf, but this old man has been at sea for decades, and he is a fruit ability, and he actually has the ability to temporarily and greatly increase the speed of the ship, and the adventurer who is ready to do a big job naturally does not care about these small things.
(Special ability: Skiing wind, speed is greatly increased when sailing against the wind, for 30 minutes.) )
Under the frantic cry of the old fur seal, the Abyss's speed increased again, and it accelerated to the west. According to Lin Xiao's visual estimates, at least the increase in his movement speed is also more than 30%.
However, despite the accelerated advance of the Abyss, by the time it entered the battlefield, the battle was already in full swing. Obviously, the Abyss's position and distance were not dominant.
When the Abyss broke through a huge wave and burst into battle, the three merchant ships were already naked in front of them like undefended lambs!
"Ready~~~~ put!"
The old fur dog raised his thin arm excitedly again, and waved a rusty stabbing sword pulled out of an unknown corner in his hand, obviously excited that he could command a pirate ship, and his old face was flushed~~
With that powerful downward swing, the Abyss leaned all over its body to the right, and at the same time, ten tongues of fire spat out from the left! The white fog filled the air, and it was the ten cannon guns placed on the port side that began to fire. But what kind of fuel-efficient lamp is the big merchant Amstero? His three merchant ships were no less beautiful than warships in terms of draft and tonnage, but they were truly armed merchant ships, and the ten guns of the Abyss were fired, and at most two or three shots were successfully hit, which did not pose a great threat to the thick-skinned armed merchant ships.
However, the adventurer didn't have much hope for the shelling of his ship, and symbolically bombarded a few rounds, just to show his identity as a pirate and the target he locked in the battle.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen warships in this sea area, the navy, armed merchant ships, and of course, more pirate ships that smelled of blood!
The huge waves were monstrous, the white waves were rolling, the cannon roared, the Abyss rose and fell with the waves, and the smell of gunpowder smoke and the breath of the sea came to the face, making everyone's blood boil. The previous despair and helplessness in the face of the storms that showed the power of nature were swept away, replaced by trembling excitement and boiling blood, good men should throw their heads and spill blood, this is life, this is the meaning of life!
But at this moment, a black pirate ship broke through the wind and waves, approached at high speed, and quickly sailed parallel to the Abyss at an extremely fast speed, and the distance between the two quickly shortened! Seeing that he was about to successfully take over, but at this moment, Lin Xiao only felt that there was suddenly a huge pressure coming from the left, this pressure was invisible, but it was surging, not only was it difficult to resist, but even if it was contaminated, it would immediately shatter his bones.
Lin Xiao immediately pounced out, lying dead on the deck, he took advantage of the situation to pull down a newly collected young pirate who was at a loss next to him, this guy was still rubbing his watermelon knife with excitement and excitement, planning to use this melee as his first step towards a new life, but he was unexpectedly dragged down by Lin Xiao's ankle, his face fell to a, blood sprayed wildly in his nose, and even his front teeth almost knocked out two of them.
This guy was whimpering and barely raising his head to scold, but at that moment, he was horrified to see that the black pirate ship on the left suddenly "crackled" open towards this side, revealing a row of neat black hole cannon muzzles, densely pointed at it, and when everyone was still a little overwhelmed, a full thirty-seven light cannons spit out terrifying flames at the same time!
At this moment, the fast-moving Abyss suddenly trembled, and it actually moved seven or eight meters sideways, as if it had been pushed heavily from the left by an invisible giant hand, and at least twenty heavy solid shells successfully bombarded its hull. It can be clearly seen that a large cloud of dust and smoke erupted from the right side of the Abyss, which was a tragic scene composed of a large number of broken wood fragments and even flesh!
This round of salvo fired, and the Abyss really suffered heavy losses. Under this round of salvo, to say the least, a fifth of the casualties were killed, and the twenty pirates gave away their lives in this way, and they died worthless, not even cannon fodder! Some of the pirates were pushed into the sea alive by the waves of cannonballs, and they were crushed by the walls of their ships
Fortunately, the fire/artillery of this era was still in a relatively backward state, and after one launch, it had to go through complicated and cumbersome procedures such as scrubbing the barrel and reloading the burial charge, which undoubtedly gave the Abyss enough time to counterattack!
"Seventy degrees of rudder!"
The old fur dog was also quite wolf at this time, the dogskin gentleman's hat had long since rolled off, and when he fell into a, he even knocked out two of his front teeth, but his body was still upright, and the reed stick struck the pirate next to him like a whip, so that they immediately instinctively jumped up and carried out the order. Screaming at the top of his voice:
"Three sails! Starboard wind! ”
"Lower the four sails!"
"Niang Xipi, if you dare to move Lao Tzu's ship, you must be unloaded!"
“”
At this time, no one cared about the old fur dog's careful thoughts, and the adventurers' faces were gloomy, and they glared fiercely at the black pirate ship next to them.
Lin Xiao said coldly:
"It's the same pirate, the rich man in front of him didn't bite, but he just beat us, obviously holding the Abyss's durability and wanting to take the opportunity to get a handful first, that is to say, there are adventurers on the opposite ship in command!"
Lao Huang immediately raised the axe with a cruel smile, "Brothers, if someone kills themselves, let's do it and send them to the western sky!" ”
"Haha, that's exactly what I want!"
"Lao Tzu's big knife is already hungry and thirsty!"
“”
On the other side, with a series of orders, the old fur dog strode to the mainmast, raised the bayonet sword in his hand and flicked it, and the huge mainsail slipped down in an instant, and the bayonet in his hand emitted a dazzling white light, shrouded in the whole ship, echoing the crashing angle at the tip of the bow. The entire Abyss actually began to cross in an instant, and now this rapid change of direction has formed a "D" shape with this Black Shark pirate ship.
At this moment, the waves rushed towards the sea like a wall, but at this moment, the Abyss broke through the huge waves, splashed the sky, and crashed into the enemy ship with a high-speed inertia that had not yet been eliminated!
At this moment, the pirate ship seems to have incarnated into the sharp edge of a sword, slender, elegant, cruel, and invincible! With a kind of unhesitating madness, he stabbed the enemy in the abdomen and stabbed it hard!
There was a loud "click", and the hulls of both ships shook violently! The nose of the Abyss slammed into the inside of the Black Shark Pirate Ship's hull. If someone were to take a bird's-eye view from the sky now, the Abyss would be like a sharp sword with poison, stabbing deep into the belly of the Black Shark Pirate Ship.
The pirates screamed excitedly, first tossing them with lassoes that tied them to their weights, tying up the two ships and erecting several passages along the way, and then charging up in rags wielding arquebuses and sailors.
Although the pirates on the opposite pirate ship organized a salvo of manpower, the wooden warehouse bullets that were not very powerful in this era only knocked down five or six pirates, which instead aroused the ferocity of the remaining people, under the influence of wealth and alcohol, the red-eyed pirates charged violently, and under the leadership of Lao Huang and other melee murderers, they actually took down the deck of the enemy ship in one go.
-- In a white-knuckle battle on the side of the ship, occupying the deck of an enemy ship can be called a great advantage. However, if the enemy's will to resist is stubborn, the most difficult thing is the ensuing room-by-room clearance battle. The pirates hid inside, and the arquebus barn and axe were waiting for them, forming a local situation of fighting more and less, which was really hard to bite.
And this is the time for adventurers to take the field. The master of the Black Shark Pirate ship on the opposite side obviously didn't know how many powerful enemies they had provoked
