Chapter 106: Vulnerable
"The ship is sinking! The ship is sinking. ”
The pirate ship's cabin was flooded with a large amount of seawater, and the whole ship began to slowly tilt to one side.
The pirates on the pirate ship were shouting, and they had no time to pay attention to their comrades who were clutching their wounds and lying on the deck wailing.
The movable objects on the deck began to roll down to the inclined side, and the deputy head of the pirate carefully moved to the side of the ship and glanced down.
The seawater at the waterline of the hull gurgled and bubbled, and the deputy commander was sweating profusely and shouted loudly: "Quick, tie things up there with ropes, everyone is on the other side, and you guys go to the cabin to repair the gaps." ”
The entire pirate ship creaked as if it were about to disintegrate, making an unbearable cacophony like a call from hell.
The pirates moved on the orders of the deputy regimental commander, but at the next moment another round of shells hit.
"Boom!"
The deputy head was very lucky, his whole head was blown up by a pig iron projectile, and the bloody brain plasma exploded, and the blood on his neck gushed out like a fountain.
"Squeak!"
The pirate ship was hit by three more projectiles, and the entire hull of the ship increased its tilt speed and fell straight into the sea.
"Quick, jump into the sea. The ship is sinking. "There are pirates shouting.
The twenty or thirty pirates who were still alive did not dare to hesitate, plopped like dumplings, jumped into the sea, and then swam away one after another to the outside of the pirate ship.
The whole ship was completely dumped in the seawater, and the masts, objects, and corpses hit the water, making a splash.
The air in the cabin was squeezed out by the sea, forming a whirlpool, and the two pirates, who were injured and did not have time to swim away, were sucked into the whirlpool and disappeared without a trace.
Donner looked at this sea war with a blank face, and under the artillery, the pirate ship was like a chicken and a dog, and it was sunk without the slightest ability to fight back.
In this world, according to general naval battles, it is all about two ships approaching and jumping gangs to fight.
However, the artillery produced by the liberation regiment can be said to have completely subverted the way of fighting at sea, and the pirates were defeated by the artillery before they had time to get close to the crescent.
Old Yuri began to look at the shooting of the artillery and looked quite interested, eager to go to the field to operate the cannon himself.
But gradually, watching the miserable fate of the two pirate ships, they became silent.
The old alchemist pointed to the pirate ship that sank in the sea with his eyes, and said, "This ...... Is it the power of artillery?"
"How's that?" said Donner, smiling, "Okay?"
Old Yuri exclaimed, "What do you mean......? Who will be your opponent at sea in the future. ”
"If we equip all the ships at the dock with artillery, won't that be able to cross the entire sea?"
Donner waved his hand: "There are still flaws, for example, the artillery has such a long range, and it is not very accurate, especially in rainy days, the artillery will not be effective."
These pirates have never seen artillery, so we can surprise them with casualties. In fact, as long as you are familiar with the combat methods of artillery and muskets, you can still find a way to deal with it. ”
Old Yuri nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and pondered how to deal with the sea ships equipped with artillery.
The pirate ship had completely sunk in the sea, the hull was under the pressure of the sea, and some weak points were dismembered, as some objects surfaced.
The two dozen pirates who jumped into the sea were still alive, and they quickly swam towards the location of the wreck, holding on to the floating objects.
Jason stood beside Donner and asked, "Commander, there's another ship, what are we going to do next?"
"See, what Hans commands. "Donner Bland.
There are currently three pirate ships, one has sunk, one mast has been broken, and most of the people on board are killed or wounded, and there is no ability to fight close to the Crescent.
Only the pirate leader's ship remained.
Hans stood at the front of the deck and said in a deep voice, "Left rudder, lean into the ship ahead." ”
The helmsman immediately pulled the wheel, and the Crescent slowly slid towards the pirate ship directly ahead, propelled by the sea breeze.
"Regiment...... Long, they are coming, what to do, what to do?. "The pirates were at a loss, and the pirates who operated the ships waited in panic for the pirate leader's orders.
"What to do?" the pirate leader's mind went blank as well.
In an instant, the two ships were defeated. One was beaten to pieces, and the other sank directly to the bottom of the sea.
What is even more unbelievable is that the two sea ships did not approach the sea ship with the red flag flying at all.
This...... What the hell is it?
Crescent Island tilted the bow of the ship slightly, and slowly slid towards the pirate ship, the two bows staggered, less than twenty meters apart.
Donner could even clearly see the frightened expressions of the pirates on the pirate ship standing in the helm.
"Quick, run, spread all the sails, and we'll head east. The pirate leader came back to his senses and was horrified at the sight of Donner's smiling expression.
But...... Is it too late?
"Fire!"
The Crescent Moon and the Corsair were perfectly aligned, and Hans's voice was a little hissed.
The cannon roared again, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the fire flickered, and the five guns instantly blasted five large holes in the pirate hull at a flat angle, and the broken wood debris even splashed on the crescent moon.
The distance between the two sea ships is less than twenty meters, and at this distance, even with their eyes closed, they can all hit.
"Reload your ammunition. Hans was expressionless.
"Ready!" Hans raised his right hand.
"Open ......" was about to drop his right hand.
"Surrender. We surrender!" the pirates howled, "stop fighting, we surrender." ”
Hans hesitated, but the word fire was not shouted, and the gunner almost lit the fuse.
"Commander, they surrendered, please instruct. Hans saluted Donner.
"Keep shooting until you sink!" Donner was expressionless.
"Yes!" Hans did not hesitate, and shouted again, "Open fire." ”
"Boom, boom......"
One, two......
"Didn't they already surrender, and why did they still fire?" asked Yuri, puzzled.
"We've given them a chance. "Besides, it's just to sink this ship, not to slaughter them all." ”
"If they're lucky, maybe a good part of them will survive and spread the fight. ”
Jason suddenly realized: "Commander, do you want these pirates to spread the word and use it to gain prestige?"
"Not bad!" Donner smiled.
"The pirates are fierce and ruthless, and the only way to conquer them is to use strength to make them fear the red flag, and only in this way can the voice of the liberation regiment be transmitted to the eastern seas. Donner said lightly.
The artillery fire continued, and the pirate ship had been completely destroyed and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, and the pirates on the pirate ship jumped into the sea one after another, fluttering in the water
The Crescent Moon brushed shoulders with the pirate ship, then glided across the sea and continued west with the cargo ship.
