Chapter 327: You're Luring a Wolf into the Room (4000 Words)
Zhang Da also picked up the street lamp and exploded a cannonball in the air with a bang, avoiding damage to the buildings on the shore. Crutches on the street lamp to continue watching this normal naval battle.
Braving the fire, the pirates drove the pirate ship desperately towards the warship, firing at the warship while occasionally firing a shell or two at the shore in order to distract the navy.
The navy poured as much artillery fire on the pirate ship as they sailed towards the pirate ship.
Under the completely unequal firepower gap, the hull of the pirate ship was already devastated, more than thirty pirates were injured or fell into the sea, and two cannons were damaged, that is, they were lucky that the nearby shells were not detonated together.
Finally, when a cannonball was caught in the mast of the pirate ship and crumbling, the distance between the warship and the pirate ship had reached a very close level, and the daring pirates were already trying to throw hooks at the warship.
The well-trained navy also responded, and a platoon of navy with guns in hand slammed the trigger, and after the fight, without looking at the results of the battle, quickly crouched down to change ammunition, and the second platoon of navy immediately began to shoot.
Before the real white-knuckle battle begins, the navies intend to take advantage of their superiority in weapons and discipline to the end.
After a few rounds of volleys, another twenty or thirty pirates were shot, some of them were able to grit their teeth and hold on, and some directly lost their combat effectiveness.
When the three ships were close together, and both sides copied the cold weapons, the pirates' initial numerical advantage was gone, and they only relied on a ruthless force to fight the navy.
The clinking of local weapons sounded, and pirates in dirty clothes fell, and often sailors in white uniforms fell to the ground.
A navyman with short yellow hair stood out in the crowd, even though he had a long wound cut in his chest by the pirate's knife, he still gritted his teeth and stabbed the standard long sword in his hand into the opponent's body, and then ran to the next enemy in the pirate's frightened eyes.
A brave captain who is not afraid of death can motivate his men, and the sailors shout the name of Captain Monka and bravely pounce on the vicious-looking pirates.
The battle lasted nearly an hour from start to finish and ended with a resounding victory for the navy.
Although in Zhang Daye's view, this kind of battle is like rookies pecking each other, and the strongest of the two sides can't stand a folding stool in front of Zhang Daye, but this kind of battle is the life and death test that the sailors on the front line often experience.
Maybe it's to protect their hometown, maybe it's for meritorious promotion, maybe it's for that 'justice', no matter what the purpose is, when they take up arms and fight the pirates, they can already be called warriors and heroes.
Two warships dragged the tattered pirate ship with the flag taken off to the shore, and the sailors quickly carried their seriously wounded comrades to the base, and even the captured pirates were temporarily left to care.
Victory is victory, but almost everyone in this battle is in the colors, and more than 20 people were seriously wounded, including the base commander of the 153rd branch and Captain Monka, who took the lead. In addition, there were more than a dozen people who confessed their last words on the stretcher with pale faces, and the comrades-in-arms next to them held their hands and wept silently.
Seeing such a scene, Wendy pulled the corner of Zhang Daye's clothes and asked anxiously: "Brother Daye......"
Zhang Da also understood what she meant, and pulled her to run to the navy: "Go, go and save people." ”
"Hmm!" Wendy ran and tripped over a small pebble on the way, and if she hadn't been pulled by Zhang Daye, she might have fallen to the ground immediately.
The others followed, and such a large group of people also attracted the attention of the navy, and a young man stopped them, saluted with his bandaged arm, and said quickly:
"I'm Lieutenant Lipa of the 153rd Branch, thank you for helping to intercept the shells just now, but I'm busy now, I'm afraid I can't entertain you, I'm very ......"
"We can save those people's lives!" Zhang Da also interrupted him and said succinctly.
Lipa was stunned: "You are a doctor?" But it's useless, they hurt ......"
Time is life, Zhang Da didn't talk to him anymore, but took Wendy around the plough at a speed that the whole navy didn't see, and came to a dying sailor:
"Wendy, quick! Just keep his life, there are many people to save, save magic. ”
"Hmm!" Wendy nodded, her hands lit up with a blue-green glow.
The wounded soldier on the stretcher and the two soldiers carrying the stretcher did not react, and they were attracted by the magical light.
When I was about to ask something, I saw that the face of the wounded soldier who was still explaining his last words just now was visibly rosy, not a return to the light, but the internal organs that had just been injured were healing, and the wounds on his body quickly stopped bleeding and temporarily relieved the pain.
Without waiting for them to ask anything, Wendy had already stopped the treatment as Zhang Daye had instructed and ran quickly to the next target.
The wounded soldier sat up and looked at his body in disbelief: "I feel like I can fight ten or eight more pirates!" ”
Zhang Da also pressed him back, and pulled out bandages and disinfectant from the inventory: "That's an illusion, you were just pulled back from a near-death state and seriously injured, lie down for me honestly, you two don't be stunned, bandage his wounds!" ”
"Yes!" The two sailors subconsciously wanted to salute and almost threw the stretcher on the ground.
When Zhang Da also caught up with Wendy, the three of them looked at each other, who is this person?
But there was no time to think about it, and the wounded soldier soon screamed again: "Pain, pain! The wound is starting to hurt again and I need to be bandaged! ”
The two comrades-in-arms hurriedly helped him disinfect and bandage his wounds, and at the same time did not forget to ridicule him:
"I don't know what's going on, but you seem to have saved your life...... But I'll remember your last words. ”
"Help me tell Lily...... I've been in love with her for a long time...... Hahaha......"
The two friends vividly learned his tone just now, and the wounded soldier's face was flushed with anger: "When I get better, I will kill you two bastards immediately!" ”
"Hahahaha...... "The two friends laughed and laughed, and tears flowed down, and they punched him in the shoulder. You bastard, can TMD survive...... That's great! ”
The wounded soldier also shed tears: "Cry and cry, what are you doing with me, I have a broken shoulder, bastard!" ”
……
After venting their emotions, they still have to carry their comrades back to the infirmary of the base, as Zhang Da also said, they just returned to a state of serious injury from near death, and if they are not treated in time, something will still happen.
At this time, Wendy was already treating the next wounded soldier, probably because Wendy's healing magic had a temporary pain-relieving effect, and each sailor would sit up when she was pulled back from the ghost gate, and it was a real dying illness.
Zhang Da had no choice but to press them back one by one, then briefly explain, and then leave bandages and potions.
In the process of Wendy's treatment, Zhang Da also learned Wendy's posture and stretched out his hand, and tried to use healing magic according to the trick Wendy told him, but unfortunately his hand did not come out of green light for a long time. But he is not discouraged, he can always learn with more practice, and he is idle anyway.
Just now, the lieutenant of Lipa only felt a flower in front of him, and found that Zhang Daye and Wendy had disappeared from his eyes, and when he turned around, the two were already standing next to the stretcher.
Out of concern for his comrades, Lipa was about to scold Zhang Da not to make trouble, but he found that those guys who seemed to have only one breath left bounced up one by one like corpses, and their mouths opened wide in surprise.
"What the hell is going on? Could it be the legendary Devil Fruit? Lieutenant Lipa did not dare to disturb Zhang Daya and Wendy, so he had to ask Artoria about the little girl, who was not very old, but looked most like a leader.
Artoria thought about it, Wendy's ability was not the first time to show it in front of outsiders, and it didn't seem to matter if it was revealed, so she replied: "It's healing magic, which can help people recover from their injuries, and you understand that Devil Fruit ability can also be used." ”
Lieutenant Lipa doesn't seem to understand, magic or something, it's better to accept it as a devil fruit: "Do you have such a powerful ability?" It's just that ...... child."
Xia Lulu spread her wings and floated in front of Lipa, and said proudly: "Don't underestimate that child, Wendy is very powerful, and we have the title of 'Witch of the Sky'." ”
"Shrine maiden? It's so powerful......" Lipa watched his comrades out of danger one by one, and was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and almost only knew how to shout six six six according to Xia Lulu's words.
It took a while to react, and he followed the sailors into the infirmary to find the military doctor to confirm the situation.
Wendy wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and pointed her hands at the last wounded soldier who was dying, and the two soldiers carrying the stretcher witnessed the previous miracle and looked at Wendy expectantly.
"Are you okay?" Zhang Da was also worried that Wendy's healing magic belonged to the 'lost magic' in the demon tail, and the effect was powerful and the consumption of mana was also very large, even if it did not completely heal these wounded soldiers, but the continuous use was also a big burden for Wendy.
Zhang Da also didn't know Wendy's current magic situation, and was worried that she would force herself to overdraw her magic power to save people.
"That's fine." Wendy's voice was a little tired, but her tone was confident, "I've worked hard during this time!" ”
As he spoke, a warm blue-green glow enveloped the wounded soldier's wounds, and soon the sailor performed a sit-up.
It's just that this time Zhang Da didn't hold him down, but grabbed Wendy who was about to fall with one hand, and stuffed a piece of chocolate into her mouth with the other: "It's hard work." ”
"Delicious!" Wendy held her cheeks and munched on the chocolate happily, she wasn't overdrawn to the point where she couldn't stand, but she didn't stand still for a while.
Zhang Da also remembered that Wendy liked sweets, hated sour things even to the point of being afraid, even if she saw others eating prunes, she couldn't stand it and wanted to run away.
At this time, it is best to feed sweets such as chocolate to replenish energy and make her happy.
The companions also rushed over, Xia Lulu hugged her hands and said distressedly: "It must be reckless again, right?" ”
Although she said this, she couldn't help it, although Wendy was usually soft and weak, but it was difficult for her to persuade even if she encountered such a thing.
"I'm fine!" Wendy stood up after eating the chocolate and jumped on the spot to show that she was in good shape.
Perona also came over to care about Wendy's physical condition, and looked at Zhang Daye angrily: "It's okay, next time I don't listen to that black-hearted boss, I will only bully children." ”
Wendy hurriedly explained: "It's me who wants to help, Brother Daya gave me a lot of chocolates, let's eat together!" ”
Tom and Artoria consciously joined the line of dividing fruits.
"Hmph, he still has a little conscience, but why does it look so familiar?" Perona looked at the wrapper.
Zhang Da also said with a smile: "Because it came out of your snacks." ”
Perona: "What! Black-hearted boss! ”
teased her a little and diss her Perona if she has nothing to do, and Zhang Da also promised to buy another one after a while under her condemnation.
At this time, the sailors, who were hurriedly carrying the seriously wounded to the infirmary, ran out in a neat queue, and under the leadership of Lieutenant Lipa, they first saluted, bowed in unison, and said loudly: "Thank you very much for your help, Miss Wendy!" ”
"No...... You don't have to do that......" Wendy waved her hand in a bit of a panic, and even wanted to hide behind Zhang Daya, judging the calm appearance of the two when treating the wounded.
Lipa maintained a ninety-degree bow: "You saved the lives of eleven excellent sailors, and I would like to thank you on behalf of them and their families!" ”
Wendy looked at Zhang Daye as if asking for help, and Zhang Daya also said for her: "Don't be so polite, we just happened to meet and happened to have this ability, they are all heroic sailors who shouldn't die like this, I hope they recover soon, the town is still waiting for them to protect it." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Da also felt that his whole person was sublimated, and even suspected that he was possessed by some small leader just now, this official tone was a little more level, at least the group of sailors in front of him were moved, thinking that their efforts were recognized, and the injury was meaningful.
"I'll tell them!" Lipa said seriously, "Because it will take a little time to deal with the follow-up matters, can you invite you to the base later?" Although the conditions in the base are poor, at least let's throw a banquet and express our gratitude a little! ”
You're luring the wolf into the house! Zhang Da also sighed in his heart, this is difficult to do, he looked at the sky, it was not yet noon: "Okay, let's go around the town, we will disturb later." ”
After receiving an affirmative reply, Lieutenant Lipa began to take people to escort the pirates, in fact, many of the pirates were also seriously injured, but no one mentioned them on both sides.
Although the general principle in the navy is to try to catch the pirate alive as much as possible, it is not a big problem to focus on the death or serious injury of the pirate during the battle.
Lipa will not go out of his way to ask Wendy for treatment for this group of pirates, it would be good if he didn't fall into the well, to put it cruelly, the severity of the injury could be thrown to the military doctor to practice.
Zhang Da also pulled Wendy to turn around and leave, Wendy was already very tired, these guys who bombarded them with cannons just now, who cares about them.
