Section 45 Naval Warfare
The second son of Lu stood on the side of the ship and looked at the Mayflower that fled in panic with a smile on his face. It's just that the originally handsome face seems to be a little more hideous and a little darker at the moment.
Since the Mayflower left port, the Lujia's gunboats have been far away for more than ten miles for three days. In order to prevent them from discovering their whereabouts, the falcons released from the air every day have to rotate five or six rounds.
Lu Er Gongzi had never been so angry, and such a face-saving scandal seriously hurt his young heart. If it weren't for the fact that the family had a major event and needed to rely on the Sea Clan, he couldn't behave too aggressively on the island, and the second son of Lu might have erupted like a raging volcano on the spot.
Today finally gave him a chance. After three days of sailing, the Mayflower was far from land, in the middle of the route from Midway to the west coast of the Tianhua Empire. And the channel is remote, and there may not be a merchant ship passing by in two or three days. It is an excellent place to take revenge, kill people, and bury bones and hide corpses. Looking at the flustered sailors jumping up and down like monkeys on the boat in the distance, Lu Ergongzi looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, with an indescribable joy.
ββ
With the first mate's order, the ship's side spewed out terrifying tongues of fire in turn, and a new round of strikes began again. More than a dozen shells exploded around the Mayflower, sending some fresh fish and shrimp onto deck.
Of course, it's not completely ineffective. No, there was a shell that I don't know if the gunner was aiming at the wrong place, and after flying weakly in the air for a while, it was blown by the sea breeze and fell slowly. Accidentally broke the Mayflower's tail sail, causing its speed to slow down at a speed of twenty-two knots. Such a change finally made the second son of Lu, who had watched live ammunition practice for a long time, with a gloomy face, show a little joy.
The Lujia ship was originally a gunboat disguised as a merchant ship, and if the Mayflower escaped with all its might, it would be left far behind after dozens of miles. This is not in line with the principle that the second son of Lu will take revenge and revenge. This is also the reason why the Lujia ships did not raise their flags when they approached, and did not suddenly change their faces until the Mayflower entered its shelling range.
Now, although the tail sail is not as large as the mainsail, it is also an indispensable and important part of the navigation of wind ships. The Mayflower's escape speed dropped sharply at the twenty-second section, and the zuihou remained at about eighteen sections, while the other party was moving forward with full sails. Seeing the distance between the two ships getting closer and closer, Huo Man's old face suddenly turned blue. At this moment, even the heart of death is gone.
He didn't think that the second son of Lu would let them go. You must know that it is okay for outsiders to know about the blatant violation of the ban on the road family. Once exposed, the consequences are not something that the identity of the second son of the Lu family can bear. Now that they have done it, the only result is to kill people and destroy the ship, destroy all evidence, and let all threats be killed.
Homan hurriedly summoned the first mate, and as orders were given, the sailors, who were determined to die, rolled out the few dozen cannon guns on board. Since you must die, you have to catch a few cushions. Sailors who have been wandering on the edge of life and death all year round have an indescribable openness in the face of death.
The Mayflower suddenly turned sideways and turned its hull towards the enemy ship. With the roaring cannons, the ten cannons erupted with a vengeful fire dragon.
The Lu family's ships were caught off guard, and they chased after them with full sails, but they didn't expect that the rabbit who was originally hit by the arrow would also fight to the death. Before the ship could fall off, the sea dragon statue on the bow that Lu Ergongzi loved very much was blown beyond recognition by the whistling cannonballs. But other than that, it didn't do much damage to the solid hull.
There is no way, although the cannon cannon has a long range, its power is limited after all. It can still play a role in repelling ordinary sea thieves in peacetime. But if the object is a battleship that has been reinforced with steel plate protection, it will only be a fart.
But even so, it also made the second son of Lu, who was used to being a little angry. I saw him stomping his feet as if he was crazy, pointing at the people who were happy on the Mayflower and scolding. As the hysterical roar of the second son of Lu resounded through the cabin, a new round of artillery fire from the Lu family poured out again. Sawdust flew across the Mayflower, and the deck was a blur of flesh and blood.
This is the flagship of the Lujia No. 3 fleet, and the fierceness of the firepower can be seen from this.
In order to prevent leakage of news, Lu Er Gongzi left the fleet and only brought this ship to attack. But even this ship is not something that ordinary merchant ships can compete with. You must know that in addition to the eighteen heavy cannons on the left and right, and the two canon guns as the bow and stern guns, the ship is also equipped with four mortar guns on each side. This thing hit the ship, and it definitely blew up a large area of the master with one shot. is so armed, it can be regarded as a bully-like existence in Shanghai. How can a small three-pole clipper be able to compete!
The Mayflower suffered heavy casualties, and nearly half of the twenty small cannons that had been fighting back like a tickle were also destroyed in a rain of bullets. After venting the anger in their hearts, the sailors had to lie down on the ground with their faces covered in iron. While moaning in pain, he waited for death to come.
Homan's eyes were blood-red, and he wanted to kill the enemy ship and eat his flesh immediately. This ship is the result of his life's work. And some of these sailors are old men who have started businesses with him and supported each other for nearly twenty years. At this moment, the ship is about to be destroyed and people are killed, and the eyes are full of decadence. How can you not let him be torn apart physically and mentally?
However, one person's liliang is small after all. Especially when he saw the cannonballs whizzing in the distance, getting bigger and bigger in his eyes, Homan's tense nerves almost collapsed. The scene of corpses floating on the surface of the sea and wood slag popping into his mind, and Homan closed his eyes in despair.
ββ
The moment was so long, as if centuries had passed, but the expected death had not yet come, and Homan, who was holding back a little uncomfortable, opened his eyes timidly.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a monstrous wave surging towards him. The big waves rushed to a high place and fell abruptly, turning the captain, who was standing on the spot and couldn't figure out the situation for a while, into a pure soup chicken with a live prawn in his mouth.
Homan shook the water off his face with his hand and opened his eyes again. I saw a young man in Tsing Yi standing proudly at the edge of the ship. The dazzling sunlight slanted down, leaving an afterglow through the young man's body, lining the heroic young man as if he had descended from the heavens. HΓΆrmann's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. Looking at the row of unruly figures of the young men holding their weapons behind the young man, Huo Man's eyes were all the same, and he couldn't help but be stupid.
It was Qingfeng who stopped the deadly shelling. Although Qingfeng has good water nature, it doesn't mean that he is stupid. This is the middle of the sea, and the consequences of losing a ship are unimaginable. He wasn't sure to swim back to the mainland, and there was a flock of landlubbers behind him!
When the cannonball approached, Qingfeng Huo Ran made a move. Fluorescent blue hairsprings quickly gathered in Qingfeng's hands as if they had life. With the soft chanting of the Qingfeng Spell, a huge water curtain rose on the sea, enveloping all the rumbling cannonballs, and it was impossible to move forward half a step. The cannonball exploded abruptly in the water curtain, disintegrating it, and there was a scene where the waves washed the boat.
ββ
Although the second son of Lu is a gentleman, his years of experience in traveling south and north have made him knowledgeable. A huge curtain of water rose out of thin air in the sea, and naturally it could not be that the Mayflower was lucky enough to be sheltered by the sea god. Moreover, this is the day when the gods have fallen after nearly 10,000 years of the war of the gods.
Lu Ergongzi frowned. The two ships were still more than 200 meters apart, and the broadside battle had not yet been engaged. At this moment, a magician appeared on the other ship, and this seemingly short distance would be as difficult as a moat. You know, the mage is known as the king of distant wars. Once they have a distance advantage, they can use overwhelming ranged magic to consume their opponents alive.
After hurriedly giving a few orders, the attendants beside Lu Ergongzi hurriedly rushed to the bridge and got into the cabin. After a while, he invited an old-eyed and dizzy dry monkey who indulged in singing and dancing to his son's side.
Gongmu is nearly fifty years old. Although he studied tirelessly, due to his limited talent, he could not make an inch of progress in his cultivation for 20 years. Ever since he reached the level of a high-level magician, he has been stagnant.
Bathing in bitterness, self-abandonment, and indulging in the beauty of spirits all day long. It just so happened that Lujia shili expanded, and it was urgent to increase its strength, so it was invited as much as possible. Although magicians are all high-eyed goods, Gongmu has long been despised by his peers. Over time, he was no longer reserved, and simply went to the Lu family. At least the delicious and good wine has never been cut off, and the Lu family respects it very much, and it can be regarded as finding a place to settle down for themselves. Gongmu is quite satisfied with the status quo.
Today, the second son sailed with him, although he didn't know the purpose, but he heard the words of the sailors more or less, and he knew it in his heart. The flagship ship of the Lu family is strong and sharp, and it can be said that it is easy to do this kind of thing. So Gongmu is not worried, and today he is enjoying his wine pool and meat forest in the cabin as usual, so happy.
Who knew that he had just reached the climax, but he was intruded by this short-eyed attendant, and his interest was interrupted. When he heard that it was the second son of Lu begging for each other, he packed up his clothes in a hurry, scolded and went straight to the deck, vowing to trouble those sluts who were blocking him. No, as soon as this cargo got on deck, it began to roll up its arms and roll up its sleeves. What a noble magician looks like, but like a living ruffian!
ββ
The second son of Lu respectfully gave a salute and led him to the side of the boat. When the goods saw that the artillery fire in the sky was completely blocked by the water curtains with little power, they suddenly became angry.
A small third-order magic dared to be so arrogant. The young man on the other side boat was not very old at first glance, and he was an intermediate magician at the top. Although he is only a high-level magician, he has been invading adultery at this level for twenty years. I know a few super-level sixth-level magics, and I'm afraid I won't be able to clean you up. Treat me well and behave, so that the Lu family can rely on me more. After that, the beauties and delicacies are not to be asked for.
Make up your mind, bathe yourself in a whole dress, and get rid of the crooked pig brother. I only listened to the words that came out of his mouth. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he shot out two terrifying rays of essence. With a loud shout, I just wanted to shout out a few bold words that were appropriate for the occasion. The wide open mouth was blocked by a lobster flying back upside down, and he couldn't breathe. Almost died a heroic death!
