Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Chaotic War (9)
Because the kobold's rate of fire was so fast, after a few rounds of shooting, the smoke almost completely obscured the field of vision—black powder and brown gunpowder, not only powerful scum, but also frighteningly large smoke. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Therefore, the kobolds were a little late in getting the news of the pirate's surrender, thanks to the fish-man underwater shuttle to inform the news.
On the sea now, many people who have fallen into the water are floating on the sea, and there are faint moans everywhere. In addition to the belly-facing sampans and wooden wreckage, the dozen or so large pirate ships were either slumped crookedly on the water or twisted and turned.
Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the smoke slowly cleared, and the three strange black boats of the kobold once again showed their ugly silhouettes.
The pirates sadly found that the damage to their hull was very minor: the pirate ship had no reliable bow guns, and a small one- or two-pound cannonball could not gnaw at the hard shells of the opponent.
Except for this short battle at sea, it was calm in all directions, as if everyone was waiting for the outcome of the naval battle.
As a matter of fact, the 'Fighting Sisters' and other units on land, which are at their peak, have already frightened the people, and without the courage to kill them, the counterattack will not be able to fight.
Then we can only pin our hopes on the sea: in addition to the few small gunboats that were the first to react, there are five more bulky ships that have not had time to attack, and everyone wants to wait and see.
What's more, there is a mysterious 'African Pirate King' in the port, this big man who lives in a simple place, is so famous that everyone says that he destroyed a fleet!
At this time, the kobolds, who only believed in 'science', were not idle.
At sea, the fishmen dragged the surrendered pirate ship to Fort Mogador and tied the cables. Next, their own kobolds came up to escort the captives and collect their weapons.
Mogador's castle, the first to be attacked, has changed hands completely: all humans have been kidnapped and locked up in abandoned warehouses. The kobold began to put the few twenty-four-pounder cannons he had brought into the gun position, and it wasn't long before he could 'name' the pirates hiding in the harbor.
Another castle across the sea, Fort Essaouira, was also largely over. The defenders, who numbered less than 1,000 people, did not even wear clothes, but were blocked in the bed by more than 1,500 kobolds with big dogs, and the consequences can be imagined.
Liu Jingtian was like a robot cat, seizing the time and dragging out one cannon after another from the dimensional bag, his strength was much greater than that of a horse.
The location of this castle is really good, the side can support the infantry of Tersfil, and in the direction of the sea, not far away is the pirate harbor and various illegal buildings, standing on the castle can be seen at a glance. The kobold threw aside the old cannon and replaced it with his own twenty-four pounds, and a dozen or so cannons were soon placed on the top floor of the castle.
"Finally into the rhythm of the old man! Little ones, pull Lao Tzu's cannon up! Hit me at those houses! By the way, don't hit the big boats over there!"
A certain great demon king already regarded those ships as his property, and in his eyes, the pirates had no possibility of turning over: "After this battle, it will be busy for a long time...... You want to garrison troops, you want to build ships, you have to drive boats around to buy and buy, oh yes, you have to go to various countries to establish nature reserves!"
The kobolds began to shoot slowly at the buildings along the coast, not to cause any real casualties, but to drive the pirates out, after all, no one wanted to fight in the streets.
The six gods and masterless pirates did not want to break into the castle and infantry positions on the shore for the time being, and rushed to the seaside. After all, everyone is a group of pirates, and even if the land battle is won, if all the ships are lost, it will be no different from losing.
In the bay, there are still the last few giant ships because of their slow movements, and they did not attack the 'finless porpoise fleet' at the first time, which is the last hope of the pirates.
With plenty of sailors, several large ships finally hung up their sails and started slowly. Now, in addition to the last five big boats on the sea, there are countless small sampans, like countless small fish clustering five whales. And the bow of the giant ship was also towed by these small boats, slowly pointing towards the kobolds' fleet and began to accelerate.
Away from the obstructive buildings on the shore, the big ships were all revealed—four of the five were three-masted galleons, two of which were supposed to be medium-sized Galens, only slightly smaller than the kobolds' of the finless porpoise. The towering tail looks like an ancient castle or a Gothic church, and the dilapidated hull is so dirty that it doesn't seem to be valued by the owner.
The two remaining ships, one was a fast cruiser of the British style, with a long hull but only one gun deck.
The other one was strikingly large, probably a thousand tons, but the hull was strange, with a cross-section close to a ○-shape, like a thick sausage, but with both ends upturned.
Behind these four boats was a strange big guy -- a strange boat with oars and sails! The tonnage was larger than the kobold's 'finless porpoise', but dozens of nearly 100 oars stuck out from below, looking like a disgusting centipede. There are also large and small four-sided jibs hanging on the deck, as if they were designed hundreds of years ago. And its appearance is also very ugly, as if it is made of a lot of unpolished logs, simply spliced together.
Liu Jingtian squatted on a small spire, squatting like a gargoyle. has been mixed with medieval natives for so long, and he has also added a lot of medieval knowledge, and he is a mouth cannon type expert, and he is also easy to know the advantages and disadvantages of these ships:
"Two Galen ships, probably robbed from Spain? This kind of ship, the center of gravity is too high to amplify the cannon, and too many superstructures will block the wind, so the speed can't be fast, it's a kind of dual-purpose ship at all, and its combat effectiveness is average!
"This single-deck clipper seems to be a British-style high-speed cruiser, and I don't know how large the caliber of the guns is, but it is more difficult to deal with......
"Isn't this big sausage-like ship a big merchant ship of the Dutch, how can something with such thin plates be used as a warship?
Finally, this old ship, why do you still play with the triremes, old man, you went to the wrong set, right? The giant oars and the oarsmen occupy more space, so I ask you if you still want to install the cannon?"
Although they were sprayed useless by the Great Demon King, these five boats still resolutely rushed into the sea area where they had fought not long ago, which had entered the range of Fort Mogador and the 'Finless Porpoise'.
Cannons rumbled on the sea, and countless solid iron balls staggered in the air like large baseballs, and then flew towards another warship.
At the same time, a huge shout suddenly remembered on the sea, and countless pirates sat in small boats, desperately picked up their oars, and suddenly rushed towards the kobolds' fleet!
Liu Jingtian: "It's not good! Is this going to jump to the gang? or is it a fire attack?"
