Chapter 642: Wood and Stone Thunder
This unexpected situation did make Han Xiao a little unexpected, now the distance between the warships of the two sides is still very far, and before leaving, Han Xiao did ask about the current situation of the warship and the spirit cannon, after all, if you have to fight on the water, if you don't even know about the warship and the spirit cannon, it will definitely be unreasonable, but according to the situation that Han Xiao has mastered, some specially modified spirit cannons can hit here at such a distance, but they are absolutely not guaranteed to be accurate.
But the current situation is that the other side not only forcibly opened fire at such a distance, but also hit their warship, and the most astonishing thing is that it actually hit the mainmast. The effect of the mainmast on the inland rivers of the Xuanyuan Continent is not as great as when it is at sea, but a broken mainmast is almost fatal to a ship, second only to the captain being killed by a direct bombardment.
The crew on the ship all became panicked, thanks to the fact that Zhao Cheng recruited Han Xiao before departure, and the crew were very good, although they were young, they were not so bad that they panicked immediately. The young first mate was a little flustered and then decisively asked, "Captain, let me take someone to rush the boat." ”
The so-called rushing ship is the warship of these people who go into the water to rush to the enemy, such a tactic is not very common in naval warfare, and it can even be said that this tactic is actually a ship that will be sacrificed when it loses the power to resist.
Looking at the warship still advancing in the distance, Han Xiao shook his head and said, "There is no need for this. These young crew members are really elite, but naval warfare is too unfamiliar to them after all, and now looking at the expression on the face of the first mate who was holding back the panic, Han Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh: "It's okay, it's just that the main mast is broken, and it is to fight back on the spot." ”
Hearing this, the first mate suddenly realized, and patted his forehead with a little shame. After going on the road, the first mate has always been by Han Xiao's side, and Han Xiao has been trying his best to maintain a young mentality during this voyage, and he has answered all questions about the first mate's questions, and some of the naval battles he experienced back then, especially some battles when he was a pirate, were all told by him vividly. I have to say that Han Xiao may really have a strong talent for being a storyteller, and even Pang Ying, who has followed Han Xiao for decades, listened to it with relish.
Most of the naval battles told by Han Xiao are the battles experienced when he was a pirate, if the importance is almost none, but every battle is very exciting, and it is precisely because the naval battle between pirates will always fight to the point of fighting to the death, so there are many, many sayings about the battle for the mainmast and the flagship, this young first mate has never experienced a real naval battle, and now he sees that the mainmast was interrupted at the beginning of the war, and he can't help but feel a little sad.
As the three warships on the opposite side advanced to the range of Han Xiao's spirit cannon, the battle broke out completely. At first, Han Xiao's mood was relatively stable, but the battle only lasted for a stick of incense, and his thoughts began to change.
"The ship's accuracy seems to have gone too far. Han Xiao stared at the one of the three warships on the opposite side, and said with a frown.
His words immediately resonated with the first mate and Pang Ying, in fact, this young first mate and Pang Ying are similar, neither of them has experienced a real naval battle, but some things in Pang Ying's bones have been stimulated in this battle. Just like when he had made a battle plan on the Tianyuan Continent before, although he had completely forgotten all the memories of his "lifetime" after becoming a meditation cultivator, some instincts had almost been engraved in his bones. He brought his talent for commanding armies to the present, and he also maintained some of his abilities in naval warfare.
"Obviously, the gunners on that ship are sharp, but fortunately there seems to be only one gunner who is superior, and if all the gunners had the strength of that gunner, maybe our ship would have been smashed to pieces. Pang Ying said calmly as he looked at the warship in the distance.
"Perhaps, we were not beaten to pieces not only because of the superior strength of only one gunner on the opposite side. Han Xiao suddenly said again, looking at Pang Ying's curious expression, he suddenly laughed: "Maybe they just plan to kill our living force first, so that we have nowhere to escape and then capture us alive." ”
"Want to capture us alive?" the first mate immediately said menacingly: "The monks of the Xuanyuan Kingdom would rather die in battle than surrender, my lord, let's rush the ship and frustrate their prestige." ”
"Alright, rush to the boat. Han Xiao nodded.
This time the first mate was sluggish for a while, he naturally wanted to rush the boat, but he didn't expect Han Xiao to agree. However, before the first mate could organize people, Han Xiao had already spoken: "I'll rush." ”
"No, you can't. ”
"No, you can't. ”
The first mate and Pang Ying shouted together, and Pang Ying said loudly: "Just leave this little thing to me." "Pang Ying said that he is naturally full of confidence, although he is forcibly promoted to the fivefold cultivation of the Xuanxuan Realm, which causes the foundation to not be too stable, but the fivefold of the Xuanxuan Realm is the fivefold of the Xuanxuan Realm, and it will not be too many surprises to forcibly impact the enemy in such a battle, of course, if the enemy's ship also has a fivefold cultivator of the Xuanxuan Realm, the danger will increase greatly.
Han Xiao waved his hand indifferently and said, "I'm going, I'm going, there's no need to say more." After speaking, Han Xiao slowly walked out of the cabin, jumped up on the deck and jumped into the water.
The waters of this big river were very deep, and Han Xiao disappeared without a trace after jumping into the water. The first mate was still nervously watching, planning to see the specific situation of Han Xiao, but now he couldn't even find Han Xiao's shadow at all, and he didn't know where to worry if he wanted to worry.
"Where have you been, sir?" the first mate looked for the old man for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.
Pang Ying smiled helplessly, of course his smiling face was impossible to see, he was also very serious about looking for Han Xiao's shadow, but unfortunately there was no result, seeing this situation Pang Ying simply stopped looking for it, since he couldn't even find Han Xiao himself, the enemy probably couldn't find Han Xiao's shadow. Thinking of Han Xiao's amazing combat power, it is estimated that as long as he finds an opportunity to make a move after letting him get close, it is not impossible to cut the opponent's warship directly, and Pang Ying simply no longer worries about Han Xiao.
But just when Pang Ying and the others were waiting for Han Xiao to bring back the news of victory, they suddenly heard a loud noise, and saw a figure suddenly rushing out of the water. After being stunned for a moment, Pang Ying was surprised to find that the person who rushed out was Han Xiao, and when it was incredible, where did Han Xiao rush out, looking at him as if he was thrown out by something. Han Xiao's whole body was now pitch black, and he looked as if he had just come out of the coal pile.
The first mate looked at the changes in front of him dumbfounded, the loud noise just now shook all the people on the boat, and after Han Xiao flew out of the water, a shocking wave suddenly set off under the water was dozens of zhang high, and even the huge wave once blocked the attack between the two sides. But when the huge waves were raised, the cannon sound of the opposite warship still did not stop, and in the rumbling of the cannon, Pang Ying keenly saw that there was a continuous impact of spiritual cannons between the waves, and then he finally found that the impact of those spiritual cannons was not a random impact at all, and there was a figure constantly floating between the fluctuations, like a broken kite.
After seeing this situation clearly, Pang Ying panicked, that figure was not Han Xiao or who was it? Han Xiao was really like a kite in the sky now, but it was not the kite string that flew him at all, but the impact of the spirit cannon. It can be seen that now Han Xiao seems to have lost the ability to resist, and those spirit cannon impacts are mercilessly poured on Han Xiao again and again, and it is because of this impact that Han Xiao has no way to fall into the water. Pang Ying was anxious but had nothing to do, after all, he couldn't fly.
Finally, Han Xiao, who had been a live target in mid-air for a long time, moved, and he forcibly turned over in mid-air to avoid a spirit cannon impact, which was worthy of falling into the water, but he didn't rush out immediately, as if he had completely sunk to the bottom.
"Are you still alive?" asked the first mate, looking at the unsettled water.
Pang Ying's face was extremely gloomy, he could be sure that Han Xiao was still alive now, but he didn't know what his state was. What he is more curious about now is why Han Xiao flew into the air just now, looking at him, it seems that he was attacked by someone in the water, and then when he was constantly impacted by the spirit cannon, his body should have lost control, Pang Ying couldn't imagine that there was something in this world that could make Han Xiao suffer such a big loss.
"What did you say was that thing that exploded in the water?" Pang Ying asked subconsciously.
The first mate was still worried about Han Xiao's life and death, but when he heard Pang Ying's words, the first mate's eyes suddenly lit up after pondering for a while, and said, "That thing seems to be a wood and stone thunder." ”
"Mu Shi Lei?" Pang Ying was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is that?"
"That thing is a magic weapon, and the meaning of a magic weapon is a consumable magic weapon. The wood and stone thunder comes from the hands of the master of the imperial spirit of the Huating country, and it can be regarded as exclusive to the Huating country, but since the magic weapon has been created, it will naturally be taken out and traded, although the Xuanyuan country is very strict in this regard, but the monks of some countries still get this kind of thing, but no, even if the country that can get the wood and stone thunder will definitely cherish it, why use it here......" The first mate began to talk to himself.
Pang Ying interrupted him brutally and asked, "I'm asking you what Mu Shi Lei is!"
"Oooh oh. The first mate hurriedly gathered his mind and said: "Wood and stone thunder is a magic weapon that can be hidden in the water, the usage is similar to the scene disk, but it is more secretive, according to rumors, the most exquisite wood and stone thunder is even in a liquid state, mixed in the water is almost impossible to distinguish. Once the wood and stone thunder is touched, it will produce a very amazing power, and the most important thing is the wood and stone poison gas contained in it, which will make people instantly paralyzed. ”
Listening to the first mate's explanation, and thinking of Han Xiao's appearance just now in mid-air at the impact of the spirit cannon, Pang Ying also subconsciously thought that Han Xiao should have been hit by Mu Shilei's trick.
Looking at the warship on the opposite side, Pang Ying said in a deep voice: "If they don't have more wood and stone mines, these people will suffer this time." ”
