The roar was so sudden that Chen Daolin didn't even have time to react, and then he heard a bang on the sea on the left side of the ship, and the water sprayed more than ten meters high!
This cannon hit made the hearts of the people on the ship tremble, and the distance from the hull was probably less than ten meters!
Although it hit the sea, the startled waves made the hull of the ship shake a little.
Chen Daolin has already set off a stormy wave in his heart!
Cannon??
Artillery???
Fucking artillery?!
Hell, isn't this a magical world? isn't this a magical world in the age of cold weapons?
How can there be such a weapon of mass destruction as artillery?!
What the fuck are you!!!
He knows very well how powerful artillery is!!
The problem is that after Chen Daolin came to this world, he didn't have an in-depth understanding of the military technology of the Roland Continent, and he didn't know that the military power of the Roland Empire actually mastered firearms!
This world already has a group of transcendent monsters like magicians, how can they still develop firearms?
Shit! It must be Dewey! That bastard did it!!
Chen Daolin was irritable in his heart.
He knew it was a big problem!
Human flesh and blood, in the face of firearms, no matter how strong a warrior is, it is difficult to resist!
No matter how high your martial arts are, a single bullet can take you down! Not to mention a cannonball?!
If you are on land, you can also use the strength of the samurai to dodge the opponent's fire, or escape, or quickly detour to the opponent, and solve the threat of firearms with close quarters.
But now it's the fucking sea!
In the vast sea, there is nowhere to escape! Just such a boat, on the sea, is the opponent's live target!
Hooker's ship wasn't a big ship in the first place. It's just a relatively large fishing boat converted into a cargo ship.
If you are hit by a cannon, you will be afraid that you will be ......
Hook's reaction was the fastest, he had already shouted, ran over quickly, kicked the gold tooth who was squatting on the ground in fright, and shouted frantically at the stunned Mario: "What a daze! If you don't want to die, hurry up and work for Lao Tzu!!"
At this moment, in the moment of crisis, Hook could no longer care about the hatred between the two sides, and he quickly shouted and gave orders: "Mario, throw all the hanging things into the sea!
"Goldfang, climb the mast for me. Put the sails down!Quick!!I want to know the direction of the wind at all times!!If you don't want to die, give me all the strength you can feed!!"
Hook exclaimed, his face pale.
At this moment, the embarrassment of the ship's lack of manpower is completely exposed. In addition to his captain, there were only two sailors - who could barely get the ship up and running, if they were just ordinary sailors and had no problems. Such crisis situations can be encountered. There is a shortage of manpower.
After all, Mario and Goldtooth are veterans of sailing, and they were scolded by Hook like this, but they came back to their senses. At this moment, the two of them can't care about the hatred of both sides.
In fact, Hook's seafaring skills are indeed very good, and the two of them have been under Hook for many years, and they have been accustomed to being drunk by him, and they have developed the habit of surviving crises under the shouts of this boss.
Hook scolded. The two sailors, who had just been stunned, immediately became busy as if they were full of clockwork.
Mario rushed into the cabin, and at the moment he didn't care much, turning over the weight of the other party's ballast in the cabin.
The nautical technology of this era is similar to that of the Age of Discovery in the real world. In the era of sailing, in order to resist the wind and waves, the seafaring ships would use some heavy objects in the cabin to increase the weight of the hull. It can make the hull more stable in the wind and waves.
Mario was sweating profusely, but he had limited strength on his own. Just as he was about to go mad, the tall figure behind him that made him fearful rushed up.
Chuck, the fierce god in Mario's eyes, rushed up and grabbed a large wooden box that Mario was trying to lift!
Mario was stunned, the wooden box was actually filled with stones. I'm afraid that the weight is only 100 catties. He grabbed the ferocity and looked at himself with wide eyes.
"Huh?" Mario was stunned for a moment, then understood, and pointed outside: "Throw it out! Throw it out!!"
With Chuck's help, Mario's job is much faster.
On the deck, Goldtooth had climbed the mast like a monkey, lowered the sails, and then hugged the mast and quickly gave directions to Hook, who was at the helm below.
"Hell, I need someone down there to help me pull the sails!" Hook gritted his teeth.
"Mario!" Chen Daolin had already come to his senses, he rushed to the cabin, grabbed Mario, and shouted, "Go out and help Hook!
It would be nice to leave the work of cleaning the heavy objects in the cabin to Chuck, and the werewolf is the most suitable for him to be strong and strong.
Mario had already come out of the race, he was a veteran, and without Hookor explaining, he had already pounced on the cable and grabbed the direction of the sail and began to pull the sail.
Golden Fang steers the wind, Mario steers the sails, and Hook is at the helm.
Soon, Chen Daolin felt that the speed of the boat had increased.
But at this moment, there was another loud bang on the sea behind him......
The other side fired again!
"Holy!!"
Several men on the boat cursed at the same time.
However, this time the shelling was a little more remote than the first gun, too far away from the hull, and the waves did not even make the ship shake.
"Hahahaha!"
Mario's face was contorted, and he shouted frantically, "One-eyed idiot!!!
This guy is also angry at the moment...... Although he and One-Eye are actually "accomplices", it is obvious that One-Eye has come to fall into the well. I received the benefits of One-Eye, and I didn't be able to overturn Hook, so with One-Eye's ruthless style, I would definitely not mind killing myself together!
At this point, Mario wouldn't be naïve enough to think that One-Eye would let the boat go just because he was on it.
Your life is at stake. He didn't dare to hesitate, worked hard, and didn't dare to relax at all.
The girls in the cabin heard the sound of the cannons, and originally wanted to come out to see what was going on, but Chen Daolin had already driven them back to the cabin with a roar.
Chen Daolin returned to Hook's side, glared and shouted, "What should I do?
Hook took the helm and fled with all his might, shouting, "What the fuck can I do? That bastard is ruthless enough to kill you! Someone in the defenders of Port Dean must have been bought off by him with black money! He actually sold all the artillery in the army to him! If Lao Tzu had the life to go back this time, he would definitely stab this thing up! Damn! Damn!!"
Hook cursed frantically. Chen Daolin calmed down, grabbed Hook's clothes, and shouted, "Don't worry about scolding!
At this time, the chasing ship behind him fired another shot. This cannon shot was much more accurate, and the cannonball fell directly on the right side of the hull, and the waves even splashed on Chen Daolin's body!
The hull of the ship shook, but fortunately Hook's feet were very steady, but he grabbed Chen Daolin and shouted: "Stand still! If you fall into the sea at this time, you will die!"
"We ...... Can you outrun them?" Chen Daolin looked at the chasing boat behind him.
"I can't run. Hook's face was very ugly, and he looked at Mario, who was pulling the sail rope under the mast. He lowered his voice and said to Chen Daolin: "Their ship is originally bigger than mine, and the brig is faster than mine! Even if we throw away the load, we can't outrun theirs! They'll be able to catch up, but ......"
As he spoke, Hook shook his head: "They have cannons, even if they can catch up with us." They will not approach rashly, and keep a safe distance. As long as we are within range of artillery fire, they can calmly fire their artillery to kill us. That one-eyed guy didn't need a prisoner at all, and he didn't want to take my boat! He just wanted my life! Sinking the ship and drowning all the people on board was the best ending for him. ”
Chen Daolin's face was also ugly.
He knew that Hook was telling the truth.
In other words, if you have such a weapon of mass destruction as artillery, why bother to use such a stupid method as broadside warfare? Moreover, it is the safest way to use artillery to directly sink the ship rather than exert effort in hand-to-hand combat.
If your own boat can't outrun the other party, you can only be beaten passively.
"Aren't you a magician, can't you do anything?" Hook gritted his teeth and scolded, "Aren't you magicians able to call the wind and rain?!! this is the sea, can't you use a magic spell to set up a wave and throw him directly into the sea?"
"Lao Tzu is a human, not an immortal!" Chen Daolin cursed fiercely.
A high-level magician can do it. Alternatively, a mid-level magician can use magic to create huge waves to block the ships behind.
But as a low-level mage, he can't do that kind of Cheng dù.
Looking at Chen Daolin's embarrassed expression, Hook gritted his teeth and scolded: "What kind of magician are you? Isn't there anything you magician can do in the face of this situation? Even if you find some way to fight back! It's good to scare them and make them dare not approach too much!"
Chen Daolin's mind was spinning quickly.
Counterattack?
Counterattack at sea...... Then long-range means of striking are needed.
Damn, speaking of long-range strikes, where in this era are there sharper weapons than artillery?
After a few moments, Mario suddenly shouted, "They're not firing guns! Boss, they're not firing cannons!"
At the moment of crisis, he subconsciously used the old name again.
Hook didn't care, glared and scolded: "Idiot, what are you happy to do so early." One-eyed is not a fool, his cannon is a black commodity bought, he has no good hands at handling the cannon, and the few cannons just released are to deter us and make us afraid of messing up. Long-range artillery hits the target, this kind of thing may not be done even if it is a good artillery operator for many years, he will not fail to understand this truth with one eye, he will naturally not waste shells, he will only wait to catch up with us and narrow the distance, and the certainty of hitting is more, and then he will fire artillery to hit us again!"
After a pause, Hook smiled bitterly: "This one-eyed is really fucking willing to spend blood! The price of this cannon is definitely not low, damn! On this sea, he has artillery, and he can run amok in the future! Hmph...... If I were him, I would simply spend another money to buy an airship, and with an airship, he would directly attack the ship with bombs in the sky, and he would be able to dominate this sea area with one eye in the future!"
"Wait...... What do you say?
Chen Daolin's eyes widened suddenly, and he caught a detail in Hook's words, which immediately triggered the inspiration in his heart!
Airship?
Aerial strikes?
Damn! I almost forgot about it!!
Air strike, I have this thing too!!
Hmph, artillery, what's the big deal! Artillery can only hit the ground, Lao Tzu will give you an air strike, and you will have no power to fight back if you kill directly from the air to the ground!
"Hahaha!hahahahaha
Chen Daolin suddenly laughed wildly, and he shouted, "I have a way!!"
As he spoke, he didn't shy away from the few people in front of him, and directly took out a long and strangely shaped broom from the magic leather bag on his body!
The broom was grasped in his hand, and Hook's eyes immediately changed and showed a hint of surprise.
Chen Daolin looked smug and said loudly: "Magic Guild Workshop Standard Flying Broomstick, Model: Cameron 269." Leonard Cameron. Walnut handle, speed 18. Fire Ruby, Heat Gathering Magic Array!!"
Hook's face was complicated, and he glanced at Chen Daolin deeply, as if muttering in a low voice: "Cameron 269...... It's such a good thing. ”
Chen Daolin was proud in his heart, and didn't notice Hook's words, but grabbed the broom, and then strode on it in a horseback riding motion.
This is a flying broomstick obtained from the secret collection of Mrs. Stone in Freeport, Chen Daolin has never had a chance to take it out and use it, usually only occasionally take it out to play, take advantage of the night when no one is there to ride up and fly for a while, although there is not much time, but at least he can barely ride.
Chen Daolin sat on the broomstick, grasped the handle of the broom with both hands, held the place where the ruby was inlaid, and injected magic power.
The carved magic pattern on the broom handle suddenly emitted a red light, and the light flowed all over the broom's body, and then Chen Daolin's figure exhaled and flew out into the sky!
He was inexperienced in flying, and this time he started it too violently, and the broom suddenly jumped out, Chen Daolin subconsciously exclaimed, and even the person with the broom, almost instantly rushed to the sky in a straight line......
