Chapter Seventy-Two: A New Artillery with Terrifying Might
Not far from the mouth of the island of Notres, four small warships of the West Sea Branch surrounded the ships of the Oort family.
In comparison, the ships of the Oult family are larger, and the number of guns and combatants is not inferior to that of the navy, but the warships of the navy cooperate with each other tacitly, and they are surrounded on all sides, so that the ships of the Oult ship are exposed to the enemy, and the exchange of fire is not long in time, and it has already shown a defeat.
On the deck, a slender old man with a silver head stood in the most dangerous combat zone.
He watched as part of the navy that had already boarded the ship was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with his subordinates, swords clashing, mixed with gunfire and cannons, and making a sonorous sound of gold and iron.
The ship was full of men who had followed the old Ortejon horse for half his life, and he stared intently at the deck, and the familiar figures were constantly falling before his eyes one by one.
Finally, he pulled out the pistol stored at his waist, aimed it at the people on deck, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger, and the bullet whizzed, hitting the target, and blood gushing out.
One, two, three......
"Mr. Ault, it's too dangerous on deck, go back to the cabin."
The old butler turned back with a bloody face, and found that the old man had actually come to the battlefield himself, and couldn't help but recall the scene he saw when he returned to the lounge after reporting that the ship was ready for battle.
Old Alt leaned back on the sofa, squinting, even though he still exuded the air of the superior's non-angry and arrogant, but like an old lion, he was powerless to show his minions.
Yes, Mr. is really old, and he has more than enough heart, but he is not strong enough.
When they were younger, they were probably twice as many enemies, and they were confident that they would be able to break out of the encirclement, but now, ......
"Eugene, tell me the truth, we still have a chance of winning." Old Oult asked.
And at this moment, suddenly, a naval sergeant broke through the mafia's interception and rushed in front of old Oort.
"Damn pirates, die!"
A white light flashed, facing the attack of the navy, the old Oult's eyes changed, and he forced his body that was about to sink into the ground to dodge the blow, and then subconsciously waved his hand and pinched the navy's wrist, snatched the weapons of many parties, and stabbed it back.
"Poof!"
Blood spurted out and splattered on his body, it was the blood of the Navy, but the move still frightened Eugene on the side.
"Mr. Oult!"
Steward Eugene was shocked when he saw this, and wanted to shout and ask who had put the enemy in, but when he saw that the number of his own people around him was getting smaller and smaller, and the number of people climbing the deck was increasing, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"Mr. Alter, are you alright?"
"Whoop——, Whoop——!"
Although the old Ault easily subdued the naval sergeant, he couldn't withstand the passage of time after all, and his old physical strength could not support him to do too much strenuous exercise, and he was already overdrawn at this time, panting, but he still had the same sentence in his mouth.
"Tell me, we still have a chance of winning!"
"Mr. ......"
Eugene wanted to speak and stopped, but couldn't bear to say.
In fact, old Ault himself didn't know in his heart that he had been on the battlefield for so many years, which time was not personally commanded by him, and why should he rely on a subordinate to judge the form.
But now, he just couldn't believe that he was going to end his life like this, and he desperately wanted to hear a different answer from Eugene's mouth.
"Sir, I have a boat prepared, and we will break out from behind and escort you out!"
Tim, the combatant, suddenly appeared, carrying a mace nearly two meters long, which was mixed with the blood of many people, smearing the original black appearance into a dark red color.
"Tim, you're here just in time, take your husband to safety, I'm in charge here!"
As soon as Eugene saw Tim coming, he immediately had a direction, and after handing over Old Oult to him, he raised his weapon and threw himself into the battle on the front line.
"Sir, it's time for us to go."
Tim reminded Old Alt again.
The latter's upright figure finally seemed rickety at that moment, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
"Tim, if our men had surrounded the enemy like this, would you have let the leader of the other side leave in a small boat?"
Hearing this, Tim's honest face was stunned for a moment, but he said without hesitation, "I will protect Mr. until the moment I die in battle!" ”
However...... The trend is gone, and it doesn't matter anymore.
Old Alt finally admitted the facts, and no longer wanted to do that powerless struggle, but recalled Eugene's words, and then looked at the navy that suddenly came around him, and a person's face appeared in his mind.
Parson, his adopted son who had been by his side since he was a child, finally couldn't wait to survive him, so he used the hand of the Navy to get him out of that position earlier.
What a son he is!
Just as the morale of all the members of the Oult family was low and they were about to surrender, a roaring cannon suddenly sounded from the sky in the distance.
The two cone-shaped shells, which were different from the round ones, turned into two white rays of light and plunged straight into the two naval warships on the left and right sides.
A loud explosion followed, and roaring flames engulfed the hull of the small half of the ship, and almost instantaneously, it toppled the situation on both sides of the battle.
The precise blows and terrifying firepower caused the soldiers on the two warships to be torn to pieces by the huge shock wave before they could even scream.
"It's ......"
The people of the Oort family were shocked, and looked in the direction where the roar of artillery fire came from in the distance, but they saw nothing.
"It's a boat! What a boat in the distance! ”
A man held the telescope in his hand and searched for a long time before he saw the figure of the Hades.
There was a cannon on the left and right sides of the ship, and the two large muzzles were emitting smoke, but then a burst of white steam erupted from the holes.
The familiar roar was heard again, and two more cannonballs streaked through the sky with a glittering light, striking the two already heavily damaged warships with such precision.
"Boom".
This time, the two small warships were directly blown into ruins by shells.
The flames caused by the explosion completely ignited the warship, and the contradiction between water and fire burned on the sea in such a contrast.
"What is that! How could it be such a long distance...... And this accuracy and power......"
Two cannon shots, four shells, sank two small warships of the Navy.
Such a terrifying battle process undoubtedly left a memory that everyone present could not forget for a lifetime.
