Chapter Twenty-Nine: Naval Battle!
"It's a pirate!"
The screams of the crew, resounded on the deck.
Su Ye narrowed his eyes and looked intently.
Benefit from his enhanced senses.
Su Ye clearly saw the scene on that pirate ship!
A group of arrogant pirates with tattooed hair and light brown complexion, who are uttering savage cries in some kind of awkward language!
"Are you indigenous to the archipelago?" Su Ye's heart moved.
The current Yaoguang people, who occupy the mainstream, are the descendants of colonists from the coastal areas of the Central Plains.
But in the vast Yaoguang Islands, there are indigenous races themselves.
As a descendant of the conquered, at the same time, there are obvious differences in language and appearance.
The natives of these archipelagos, within the jurisdiction of the Yaoguang sect, are subject to discrimination and oppression.
So, they often choose to become pirates.
Or maybe an entire tribe is a pirate!
Harsh living conditions, scarce resources, and pervasive discrimination.
Make the Native Pirates more cruel and brave!
……
At this time, due to the unfavorable wind direction, it was difficult for the Flying Snake to turn in time.
The pirate ship in the distance is breaking the waves, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer!
"No need to turn, get ready to fight!"
Seeing this, Luo Qingjun immediately made a decision and said solemnly.
Su Ye had no opinion on this decision.
In the case of bad winds, face the galloping pirate ship.
If the Flying Snake continues to steer persistently, it will find itself in a very unfavorable situation.
Splatter.
Two whale hunting crossbows were lifted from the hold and mounted on the side of the ship facing the enemy ship to act as ship-mounted ballistas.
"Ballista winding!" Luo Qingjun shouted.
Airplanes!
The two crew members in the early stage of gas refining worked together to pull out the ballista, and the crossbow string was full.
The crew on the side is responsible for loading the crossbow arrows!
"First mate, please control another ballista." Luo Qingjun adjusted the ballista while pleased.
"Yes!"
Luo Guanghe's face was stunned, but he didn't dare to slack off, and he also stepped forward to adjust the ballista.
Laugh at!
The sharp crossbow arrows made of spiritual iron and spiritual wood drew two white lines in mid-air at an astonishing speed!
In the blink of an eye, the whale hunting crossbow bolts have crossed a distance of hundreds of meters!
Su Ye squinted his eyes and looked from afar.
Zheng!
Crossbow bolts were nailed deep into the deck of the pirate ship.
The huge kinetic energy, which has not yet dissipated, drives the arrow shaft to tremble continuously.
Meantime.
It also drove the arrow shaft, the indigenous corpse that was still warm, kept shaking.
It's like dancing a dance of death!
"Good!" Luo Qingjun said happily.
Merely.
The other crossbow bolt missed and slipped into the water in a graceful position.
"Sorry...... I ...... "Luoguang River is stupid."
"It's okay......"
Luo Qingjun raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
"Keep loading! Kill them all! ”
The significance of the ship's ballista was not to sink the hull.
In fact, large seagoing ships have strong hulls, and it is almost impossible to sink them with solid crossbow arrows.
But.
You don't need to sink the hull to win.
A very simple truth.
An unmanned low-level spirit ship is not a threat at all......
And for the fragile Qi Refining Cultivator, the power of the crossbow arrow will be deadly!
The idea of naval warfare in this era is to kill and injure the crew of enemy ships in large numbers and paralyze their combat effectiveness!
Compared to the maximum casualties, land battles that occurred during the rout phase.
Naval battles are often more brutal and bloody!
Usually at the end of a naval battle, the decks of both sides will be covered with flesh and blood......
……
Laugh at! Laugh at!
Two rounds of fire!
The Flying Serpent fires ballistas to harvest the lives of the pirates.
On the deck of the other party, several mutilated corpses were left, as well as severed limbs and broken flesh.
For a monk in the early and middle stages of Qi refining, being hit by a ballista can almost be equivalent to an instant death!
Even if it is a bruise, with the blessing of huge kinetic energy, it will also lead to the mutilation of limbs!
"Show these natives the power of civilization!"
Luo Qingjun said with a smile.
Due to the technical blockade of the natives of the archipelago by the Yaoguang Terrans, it was difficult for the indigenous pirates to obtain shipborne firepower such as ballistas.
Even if it is intercepted by chance, it will be maintained due to a lack of technicians.
and the inability to obtain a reserve of crossbow arrows, which was quickly scrapped.
It can only be sold to black market merchants at the price of scrap iron in exchange for a meager spirit stone.
And the lack of ballistas makes these pirates passively beaten at this time!
However, just when the Flying Snake bombed indiscriminately, quite proud.
The pirate ship endured casualties and got closer and closer!
The distance between the two sides is only more than 100 meters!
"Strange ......"
"Don't you give up? Still want to rush over to the board? ”
Su Ye's heart froze, a little strange.
Are the natives so brave?
"Boatswain be careful, this gang of pirates is not easy to deal with, lead the crew to be on guard, ready to engage in broadside battle!"
At this time, Luo Qingjun was also aware of the risk and commanded solemnly.
"Understood." Su Ye nodded solemnly, held the blood-drinking spear, and beckoned the crew.
Just, next.
Things have developed somewhat unexpectedly.
The pirate ship did not rush over to pick up the board as quickly as Luo Qingjun and the others thought.
Instead, they began to slow down and turn the ship around!
"Huh? Why ......"
Luo Qingjun was stunned.
Then, as if thinking of something, he exclaimed.
"Impossible!"
A touch of consternation also appeared on Su Ye's face.
"They're ......"
"You want to fight our fire?!"
……
Soon, the turn of the corsair was completed.
On the Flying Snake, the crew responsible for loading the ballista is completing a round of loading.
He looked up, intending to admire the natives struggling to flee under the ballistas.
And suddenly, his expression froze, and cold sweat instantly flowed down his forehead.
"Four...... Four doors?! ”
On the pirate ship, four ballistas are mounted!
They have not only ballistas, but a lot of them!
And at such a close distance, this crew member was even able to see......
On the faces of the native pirates, a bloodthirsty smile appeared!
'Bang us, it's cool, isn't it?' ’
Splatter!
The pirates fired the trigger.
Four spiritual iron crossbow arrows suddenly broke through the air and attacked!
For!
The crew member only felt that a huge force bombarded his chest, causing him to lose consciousness in an instant!
The whizzing crossbow bolts continued unabated, and with the broken corpses, they were nailed to the ship's board with a bang!
Blood splattered!
"Ah!!h
There was an uproar on the Flying Serpent.
"How is this possible...... Damn the Native Pirates, where did they get their ballistas and spirit iron crossbow arrows, these are all controlled products! ”
"Who is so bold as to dare to risk the ban of the Shangzong and sell it to them?!"
Luo Qingjun said in shock.
"Captain, get down!"
The first mate Luo Guanghe looked anxious, and pounced on Luo Qingjun at once, holding down Luo Qingjun.
"This group of pirates actually has ballistas?" Su Ye frowned, smelling the breath of conspiracy.
And just thinking about it, all of a sudden, his heart tightened.
A strong and strong sense of crisis is frantically warning Su Ye!
'This is ......'
'There's a ballista aimed at me?!' ’
