Fourth, the battle for the hegemony of Chishui Bay Chapter 171 Fleet
Faced with the "100 steel" hull that can't even be pierced by cannons, Lydia also has a bit of a headache. Fortunately, Buxiao had reminded her that she had made a few alternatives, and she thought for a moment: "Go and get our 'chimney'." ”
The soldiers immediately brought out several large "cauldrons" that could hold a person, filled with the rhizomes of many plants, the dung of demonic beasts, and the explosive hormone and metal powder that fueled combustion. They quickly ignited the materials, and the smoke was as thick as steam erupted instantly.
"Quick, put them in the wind." Lydia led the soldiers to pick up the cauldron and ran upwind of the canyon.
Heavy smoke soon enveloped the five battleships, and although the hull was made of "100 steel", it was not completely sealed. Smoke poured in through the hatches, ventilation pipes, and even cannon firing openings, choking the pirates with coughs.
"The abominable Red Pavilion actually uses such a despicable means as smoke bombs!" The sea dragon was choked in the cabin and could not breathe, and said through gritted teeth.
It's a pity that he still underestimated Buxiao's understanding of the word "despicable".
When he inadvertently wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, he suddenly felt a hot stinging pain: this smoke actually corrodes the skin!
The pirates suddenly realized that it was not just a smoke bomb, but also a gas bomb, and they all shouted in panic in the cabin. Without hesitation, the ghost knife pulled out his scimitar and shouted, "Shut up!" ”
Thanks to his strong suppression, the pirates calmed down.
He looked around at the pirates around him, "The Ironbeard Pirates have been frightened by a cloud of smoke, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?" ”
The hook said in a deep voice: "Yes, our hull is strong, and they can't break through at all." We just have to stay here and wait for the wind to change and their smoke will dissipate. ”
Seeing the faces of the other pirates slowly calm down, Sea Dragon felt a faint worry in his heart. Their own flagships almost mutinied, what will happen to the other four ships?
But now that the fog was thick outside, and he couldn't use the flag, he could only frown and remain silent.
.
Lydia and the officers stood on the hills on either side of the canyon from a distance and watched the fog grow bigger and bigger, and said with a smile: "They will definitely not be able to escape this time, and the fish that are bouncing in the net will always be fished out." ”
Fili asked worriedly, "But princess, although such a fog blocks their vision, we can't see them anymore......"
Lydia nodded, "Don't worry, Buxiao and I have already discussed alternatives, I wonder if the craftsmen are ready?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a rattling sound in the thick fog, which seemed to be the sound of a giant pulling a steel cable. The pirates shouted in panic through the thick fog, and the ensuing loud noise set off a roaring air current, instantly blowing away the surrounding fog.
The pirate ship turned on its side!
It turned out that Lydia had the craftsmen take advantage of the smoke and hang pontoons filled with "flange wool" on the side of the pirate ship. As the pontoons floated together, the four pirate ships suddenly lost their balance and capsized and collapsed.
"Harold, Red Dragon, Mira, Fili, and Danica." Lydia ordered, "Take four bands of men and horses to surround those four ships and capture them as soon as possible." ”
The four ships had been shattered, the tin hulls had been deformed, and there were many cracks in the side of the ship. Thanks to the fact that they were not sailing on the sea, they would have been filled with sea water and sunk to the bottom of the sea.
The pirates hurriedly jumped off their warships and, to the sound of plundering slogans, quickly scavenged the wreckage-strewn clandestine sand. After each finding the weapon they had in hand, they looked around, intending to use their years of experience in fighting at sea to slaughter the army of the Red Pavilion.
But they were wrong, the large army of the Red Pavilion had already divided into four ways and quickly surrounded them.
"Surrender, you fools." Harold pointed his axe at the pirates, the young man with his greatsword, and Mira brandished his double-pronged stand glaring at the pirates.
"Do you think we'll be obedient?" One of the pirate leaders shouted at his accomplices with a scimitar, "There is no way back, go on, fight with them!" ”
The others responded, raising their weapons and charging towards the Red Pavilion army.
The army of the Red Pavilion has long been well-trained and fearless to face the battle. Hearing only the sound of "huha", the shield soldiers in the front row quickly sank down and raised their shields, surrounding them in the middle like iron buckets. Harold stepped forward and leaped into the battle circle and swung his axe.
With a loud bang, the axes struck each other, and between the sparks and the sparks, half of the heads of the two pirates in front had been chopped off. The rest of the pirates suddenly became frightened, turned around and ran!
The overturned pirate ships also made a "squeak" sound of disintegration. The morale of the soldiers of the Red Pavilion was even higher, and they quickly rushed up under the command of their respective generals.
"Does the drunkard uncle just want to steal the limelight alone?" Mira sprang out from behind the pirates, flew up and threw a fork, and stuck one of the pirates to the ground like a wild boar.
Before the two pirates could react, there were already four small holes in their stomachs.
"Why are these pirates as stupid as hares?" Mira glanced contemptuously at the pirates' faces, and the pirates retreated in unison, not daring to look at her.
Just when they didn't know what to do, the smell of burning came from the air again. The young man wielded the Red Dragon Giant Sword and dragged a five-meter-long tongue of fire across the canyon.
Where have the pirates ever seen such a terrible weapon, they don't dare to go up and fight at all. Now that there are strong enemies on three sides, they can only lock their eyes on Fili and Danica's side.
Then they saw half of the corpse fly high and land in front of them.
Danica stood in front with an axe hammer in her hand, swinging her forehand to blow the pirates' skulls apart, swinging her backhand and breaking them at the waist.
"Come on, you sea polyps!" She held out her finger at the pirates and ticked, "Sister is here to take you back to the sea." ”
Fili shouted from behind, "If you don't want to die, drop your weapons and come to me and surrender." I promise you'll make it out of the canyon alive! ”
The pirates thought that today was a dead end, but when they heard that there was still a chance of life, they hurriedly threw down their weapons and ran to Fili's side.
Seeing this scene on the flagship, the ghost knife hurriedly ordered the gunner to open fire. But the cannons of the pirate ships are mounted on both sides of the hull, and Fili's position happens to be in the stern, which is the blind spot of firepower.
So they could only watch as the pirates lined up to surrender and become prisoners. And the four capsized battleships were also occupied by the Red Pavilion and became a temporary fortress for the Red Pavilion army.
"Impossible!" Hearing the battle situation, the sea dragon angrily slammed his fist on the table, "My fleet is invincible, how can it be so easy to fail!" ”
