Chapter 108 [Sea Battle] (1)(1/2)
The roar came suddenly, and Chen Daolin didn't even have time to react. He immediately heard a rush on the sea on the left side of the ship's side, and the water spray was more than ten meters high!
This shot made the people on the ship frightened, and it was probably less than ten meters away from the hull!
Although it hit the sea, the shocking waves made the hull shake a little.
However, Chen Daolin's heart had already stirred up storms!
gun??
artillery???
It's his ** artillery?!
Hell, isn't this a magical world? Isn't this a magical world in the era of cold weapons?
How could there be a killing weapon like a cannon?!
See him **ghost!!!
He knew very well how powerful a weapon like a cannon is!!
The problem is that after Chen Daolin came to this world, he did not have an in-depth understanding of the military technology of the Roland Continent, and did not know that the military power of the Roland Empire actually mastered the firearms!
There is already a transcendent group of monsters like magicians in this world. How come they even develop firearms?
**! It must be Du Wei! That bastard Du Wei!!
Chen Daolin was irritable.
He knew that this was a big trouble!
The flesh and blood of a human body, facing a firearm, is hard to resist no matter how powerful a warrior is!
No matter how high your martial arts are, you can get down with just one bullet! What about shells?!
If you are on land, you can also use the powerful strength of the warrior to avoid the opponent's firepower, or escape, or quickly approach the opponent, and use close-range surprise to solve the threat of firearms.
But now this is his sea!
There is no place to escape in the vast sea! Just a boat, on the sea, is the other party’s living target! You can only be beaten obediently.
Hook's ship was not a big ship, but a cargo ship converted from a relatively large fishing boat.
If you are hit by a cannon, you will be afraid that you will...
Hook's reaction was the fastest. He had already shouted, ran over quickly, kicked the Golden Teeth, who was so scared that she was squatting on the ground and hugged her head. Then she turned her head and shouted wildly at the stunned Mario, "Why are you stupid? If you don't want to die, hurry up and work for me!!!"
At this moment of crisis, Hooker no longer cared about the hatred between the two sides. He quickly shouted and issued an order: "Mario, throw all the hanging things into the sea! We want to reduce the draft!! Quick!! Don't be slow!! What we need now is speed! Speed!!"
"Golden teeth! Climb up the mast and put down the sails! Hurry!! I want to know the direction of the wind at any time!! If you don't want to die, use all your strength to feed me!!"
Hook shouted, his face turned pale.
At this moment, the embarrassing situation of insufficient manpower on the ship was completely exposed. Apart from him, the captain, there were only two sailors - if it was just ordinary sailing and without any problems, the ship could barely be driven. However, in this crisis, there was a shortage of manpower.
After all, Mario and Goldfang are both veterans of navigation. After all, they were scolded by Hook, but they came back to their senses. At this moment, the two of them didn't care about the hatred between them.
In fact, Hook's sailing skills are indeed very good. Both of them have been under Hook for many years, and have been used to being called by him, and have developed the habit of living through crises safely under the shouts of the boss.
Hook scolded and the two sailors who were still stunned just now immediately started to work as if they were full of clockwork.
Mario rushed into the cabin, and at this moment he didn't care about it, and overturned all the heavy objects that were originally pressed by the opponent in the cabin.
The navigation technology of this era is similar to the sailing era in the real world. In the sailing era, in order to resist wind and waves, sailing ships will press the warehouse in the cabin to increase the weight of the hull, so as to make the hull more stable in the wind and waves.
Mario was sweating profusely, but he was really limited by his strength. Just when he was about to go crazy, the tall figure behind him who was afraid of him rushed up.
Chuck, the fierce god in Mario's eyes, rushed up without saying a word, and grabbed a large wooden box that Mario was trying to lift up!
Mario was stunned. The wooden box contained stones. It was afraid it was a hundred kilograms. This fiercely grabbed it and then stared at him with wide eyes.
"Uh?" Mario was stunned at first, then understood and pointed outside: "Take it out! Twist it out!!"
With Chuck's help, Mario's work was much faster.
On the deck, Jinya had climbed up the mast like a monkey, put down the sail, and hugged it on the mast, quickly guiding the wind direction to Hook, who was in charge of the helm below.
"Hey, I still need someone to help me pull the sails underneath!" Hook gritted his teeth.
"Mario!" Chen Daolin had already come back to his senses. He rushed to the cabin, grabbed Mario over, and shouted: "Go out to help Hook! I'm calling me here!"
Just leave the work of cleaning the heavy objects in the cabin to Chuck. The werewolf is the most suitable one.
Mario had already run out, he was a veteran, and without Huqueto's explanation, he had already pounced on him and grabbed the cable and began to pull the sails.
Gold teeth are responsible for guiding the wind direction, Mario controls the sails, and Hook is in the helm.
Soon, Chen Daolin felt the speed of the ship and raised it.
But at this moment, another loud noise came from the sea behind him...
The other party fired again!
"Hell!!"
Several men on the boat cursed at the same time.
However, the direction of the shelling this time was more biased than the first shot just now. It was too far away from the hull, and the shocking waves did not even make the hull shake.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Mario's face was distorted and he shouted and cursed wildly: "That one-eyed idiot! His good guy in the artillery!!!"
This guy was also shocked and angry at the moment... Although he and One-eyed were actually "accomplices", One-eyed is obviously here to take advantage of the situation. He took the advantage of One-eyed, but he could not overturn Hook. With his one-eyed and ruthless style, he would never mind killing himself together!
At this moment, Mario wouldn't naively think that one-eyed would let the boat go just because he was on it.
It is related to his own life, and he dare not hesitate at all. He works hard and does not dare to relax at all.
The girls in the cabin heard the sound of cannons and originally wanted to come out to see what was going on. Chen Daolin had already yelled and shouted and drove them back to the cabin.
Chen Daolin returned to Hook's side, glared and shouted: "What should I do? Are you doing this?"
Hook was in charge of the helm and ran away with all his might. He shouted, "What can I do if I can do it? That bastard is one-eyed and cruel! In order to kill you, he actually got all the artillery! Bastard, someone in Dean Port must have been bribed by him with black money! He actually sold all the artillery in the army to him! If I have the life to go back this time, I must stab this matter! **!*!!"
Hook cursed wildly. Chen Daolin calmed down, grabbed Hook's clothes, and shouted: "Don't curse! Hook!!"
At this time, the chaser behind him fired another shot, and the shot was much more accurate. The shell landed directly on the right side of the hull, and the waves stirred up even splashed on Chen Daolin's body!
The hull shook, but fortunately Hook's feet were very stable, so he grabbed Chen Daolin and shouted: "Stand up! If you fall into the sea at this time, you will be dead!"
"Can we... run past them?" Chen Daolin looked at the chaser behind.
"I can't run." Hook's face looked very ugly. He looked at Mario who was pulling the sail cables tightly under the mast. He lowered his voice and said to Chen Daolin: "Their ships are originally bigger than mine, and the brigs are faster than mine! Even if we throw away all the loads, we can't run away! At most an hour, they can catch up, but..."
As he said that, Hook shook his head: "They have cannons. Even if they can catch up with us, they will not approach them rashly. They can set off safe distances. As long as we are within the range of the cannon fire, they can calmly fire guns to kill us. The one-eyed guy doesn't need prisoners at all, nor does he want to take my boat! He just wants my life! Sinking the boat and drowning all the people on our boat is the best ending for him."
Chen Daolin's face was also ugly.
He knew that what Hook was talking about was the truth.
If it were yourself, if you had a big killer like artillery in your hands, why would you use a stupid method like a head-on battle like a battle? Besides, Hu Ke Wuyong, instead of trying hard to fight with the hands of the army, it is better to use artillery to sink the ship directly with the cannon.
If your ship cannot escape the other party, you will have to be beaten passively.
"Aren't you a magician? Is there nothing you can do?" Hook gritted his teeth and cursed: "Can you magicians call the wind and rain?! This is the sea. Can't you use magic to raise the waves and throw him directly into the sea?"
"I am a human, not a god!" Chen Daolin cursed fiercely.
Calling the wind and rain? A high-level magician can do it. Or an intermediate-level magician can also use magic to create giant * to block the ship behind.
But I am a low-level mage and can't do that.
Looking at Chen Daolin's embarrassed expression, Hook gritted his teeth and cursed: "What kind of magician are you? Is it possible for you, a magician, to face this situation? Even if you can do something to fight back! It would be good to scare them and make him dare not get too close!"
Chen Daolin's mind quickly turned around.
Counterattack?
Counterattack at sea...then long-range attack means are needed.
**, when it comes to long-range strikes, where are there any weapons that are sharper than artillery in this era?
After a moment passed, Mario suddenly shouted: "They will not fire the fire! Boss, they will not fire the fire the fire the fire!"
At the moment of crisis, he subconsciously used the name of the past again.
Huke didn't care, and glared and cursed: "Idiot, why are you doing so early? One-eyed is not a fool. His cannon is a black guy bought. He has no good gunman. The few cannons he fired just now are to deter us and make us afraid of being confused. Long-range cannon shots hit the target. Even a good cannon shot may not be able to do such a thing even if he has been a good cannon shot for many years. He will naturally not waste cannon shots. He will only wait to catch up with us and get closer. Only when he has more grasp of the hits, he will fire fires and hit us again!"
After a pause, Hook smiled bitterly: "This one-eyed person is really willing to invest heavily! The price of this cannon is definitely not low, **! With this sea, he can run rampant in the future! Humph... If I were him, I would just spend money to buy an airship. With the airship, he will directly attack the ship with bombs in the sky. In the future, he can dominate the sea with one-eyed person!"
"Wait...what did you say? Airship?"
Chen Daolin suddenly widened his eyes and captured a detail in Hook's words, which immediately aroused the inspiration in his heart!
airship?
Air strike?
**! I almost forgot!!
I have this thing too!!
Humph, artillery, what's so great about it! Artillery can only hit the ground. I will give you an air strike. You will have no power to fight back if you kill directly to the ground!
