Chapter 101: Chaotic War (12)
When Liu Jingtian was busy fighting the fire, Tesfield only used a little magic to firmly pull the hatred of the pirate fleet over: after a gust of wind, the five pirate ships at sea found that not only could they not see the enemy fleet in the smoke and fire, but the castle in the other direction became clearer......
Don't look at this little broken castle cannon, but it shoots very vigorously, it just doesn't know whether it is dead or alive!
It didn't take much effort, but the five pirate ships, high and low, turned around one after another, and the dense artillery all aimed at the gun emplacements on the reef and launched an attack on the castle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As for the three strange ships hidden in the firelight, the pirates were thrown aside: the pirates who had taken their lives and returned alive promised: "We swear that all three ships are on fire!"
In the eyes of the pirates, these three ships were not much different from sinking: since they were burned, the sails would be the first to be ignited. Even if the fire is extinguished by luck, this sailing ship with few sails left is just a target floating on the sea.
On the Fort of Mogador, the kobolds were busy around a dozen cannons in a nervous and orderly manner. There are not many guns that can be used now, only twelve twenty-four-pounder guns used by the army, and as for the old cannons left by the defenders, everyone automatically ignores them.
Although there are few cannons, this is a cannon bathed in the aura of 'Fa Ye's golden thighs'!
It doesn't matter if we don't have enough artillery, our health bar is super thick, and our hit rate and attack power are doubled!
Tesfil first used 'turning mud into stone' to build a half-meter-thick shooting bunker for the doghead, and then used 'flying skills' and 'eagle eye techniques' to transform into a small school shooting plane to indicate the target for the shelling, and the kobold could shoot with peace of mind.
And the kobold themselves also have a set of methods for dealing with warships: first use charcoal to burn small fires, and then throw the cannonballs into them to burn red, which becomes the legendary red-hot bomb! As long as the cannonballs are not bounced off after hitting the enemy, whether they are embedded in the side of the ship or rolled into the cabin, the hot cannonballs are likely to ignite the wood!
Although it is necessary to put a thermal insulation layer between the shell and the gunpowder when loading the shell, this small inconvenience is only a minor problem.
In short, the current battle situation has become like this, although the five pirate ships have more artillery, but the offensive and defensive ends are very low, and they can only rely on the number to compete with the 'Fort Mogador', just like forming a group to push the boss.
After a few rounds of shelling, the boss of the small castle did not react, and the kobold's shooting speed was not affected at all, but the five pirate ships began to be unable to withstand it - the first problem was the thousand-ton flute-shaped ship!
This thousand-ton giant ship was a Dutch merchant ship that was snatched by the Barbary pirates of the Mediterranean Sea and sold to the previous king of the Saad dynasty.
The king of the desert, no matter how shrewd, could not know more about ships than pirates, so he happily made this great ship the flagship of the navy, and stationed in Essaouira.
It's a pity that the bottom of this ship is a transport ship with thin skin and big stuffing, and even if the structure is reinforced, it is not the material for making warships. However, the hull is fat, which attracts most of the kobold's firepower......
With the help of Tesfil, the kobolds got higher and higher, and at one point even reached a one-third hit rate: a full four red-hot shells hit the giant ship!
Soon, the weakened giant finally couldn't hold on...... Amid the screams and screams of countless pirates, smoke began to billowing from the cannon windows, and at the same time, countless sailors jumped into the sea like dumplings...... It didn't take long for the entire ship to turn into a volcano on the sea, and the three masts, which were more than fifty meters high, were also engulfed in raging flames and turned into oversized torches.
Less than twenty minutes into the battle, the whole ship turned into a burning hell, countless sailors struggled to get away from it, and those who were close to the ship even felt the firelight sting their faces.
Next, the pressure increased on the two Spanish galens: who made them look imposing?
The tall aft building of the Galen ship was useless except for the ability to carry more soldiers, and even because of the high center of gravity, it could not be installed with more guns. And now it has become a magnet for cannonballs, making the sailors miserable.
Both sides desperately poured shells at each other, trying to subdue the enemy before they fell. However, the kobold, who was still tightly protected by the stones, had the last laugh and luckily ignited the two giant ships!
Unfortunately, at the last moment, the oars and sails and boats suddenly appeared.
The monster, almost made of barked logs, blocked the castle's artillery fire, and its bulletproof power was far greater than you imagined - more than one cannonball was bounced off the side after hitting the side!
Under its cover, the two galen ships broke away from the battlefield and organized men to fight the fire......
As a result, the castle's opponents were now left with only this oar-sail boat and an English cruiser behind it.
On the other hand, Liu Jingtian had already brought all the more than 20 warlocks and magic apprentices to the 'Finless Porpoise 4, 5, and 6' ships. These guys have been studying magic for the past year, and there are sporadic people upgrading and learning new spells, and now there is just a place where they need to use their strengths.
"Level Zero Trick, Cold Ray!"
In the midst of the murky chanting, a series of white pillars of light were shot towards the hull of the ship.
Soon, the kobold sailors found that many parts of the original burning hot parts had unexpectedly cooled down, and even some of the side hulls had white frost flowers......
Liu Jingtian sighed: "Gao......! However, the heat rises and the cold shrinks, and my family's ship is tossed like this, and I am afraid that it will not last for a few years and will be scrapped......"
With these two dozen first-level warlocks and zero-level warlock apprentices, making cameo appearances in the firefighting team, Liu Jingtian can press his heart back into his stomach:
"This time another wave of fireships can withstand it! But if you defend it for a long time, you will lose, and the old man has a simple way to end the battle immediately!"
There is no doubt that this great demon king, who regards 'safety first' as his life creed, is finally going to take action himself! So, underwater, a huge dark purple figure pounced on the poor Galen ship like a shark......
In the castle, the kobold who are fighting the pirates are already a little helpless - the remaining two ships are a bit difficult to handle!
Although everyone has been using fiery bombs, the freak of the oars and sails is so strange that there are already several shells embedded in the cracks of the log, but it just can't burn!
What's even more infuriating is that the oars of this cargo are not ornaments, and they are extremely agile in moving forward and backward: they always accelerate suddenly when the kobold is about to open fire, blocking the remaining cruiser behind them, and vice versa, when the kobold is finished, it comes out again with a hundred oars, revealing the window for the cruisers behind to shoot.
Unfortunately, although the pirates worked hard, the show ended here...... It didn't take long for all four boats to leak wildly, and their hulls began to sink into the sea at a speed visible to the naked eye......
