Chapter 1362 Bombing

"Bombing mark?" Joan immediately remembered the barrel mounted on the belly of the giant eagle, "You mean, the group of giant eagles in the wind are going to bomb the pirate ship?"

"That's right, Abigail and the others returned just now to return to the mothership to mount bombs. Twenty-four giant eagles happen to be the formation of a bombing squadron. As for what will happen next, you can see for yourself." The corners of Auror's lips rose slightly.

Joan immediately switched the viewing angle to Blood Mosquito Agent in order to observe the live bombing up close.

At this time, the flock of eagles in the sky switched from a horizontal formation to a column formation, and with the help of the illumination provided by the flash bombs, they swooped down on the pirate ship in turn.

Ensign Abigail was the first to dash to the deck, and when he reached the bottom of his dive, it looked like his wings had almost touched the top of the corsair's mainmast.

At this fleeting moment, Second Lieutenant Abigail lowered his head and grasped the pull ring with his eagle's beak and pulled it hard, and two drop-shaped bombs with tail fins hanging on his abdomen fell down.

Get rid of the heavy-laden giant eagle, quickly raise the altitude, and draw an upward arc trajectory in the night sky.

When Abigail returned to the sky, the two bombs dropped a few seconds ago had already landed nearly a hundred yards vertically. After sufficient acceleration, the 300-pound bomb hit the deck of the pirate ship. The paulownia deck was smashed through.

The cast iron shell is filled with compound alchemical explosives including "blazing glue" and "thunderbolt", which are activated by a time-delayed firing pin and explode violently after the bomb penetrates the deck.

Accompanied by the roar of heaven and earth, two huge fireballs exploded inside the cabin, and scorching and glaring flames erupted from the portholes.

The shock wave from the violent explosion almost lifted the upper deck of the pirate ship. The broken planks, masts, sails, and pirates on the deck were all splashed all over the sky like sundries rolled up by the storm. The billowing smoke was mixed with blood and lament.

This is just the beginning.

The explosion on the ship has not yet subsided, and the giant eagle that swooped down subsequently dropped bombs one after another.

The Giant Eagle Squadron carried a total of forty-eight bombs, with a total charge of more than 5,000 pounds. All these alchemy explosives were poured on the pirate ship. The destructive force generated by the explosion overwhelmed the old-fashioned sailing warship, and it finally broke in two. Slowly sinking into the sea with black smoke.

Joan took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. The time was 7:7 in the evening on August 22.

Just as Aurora predicted, the time from the dive bombing of the Giant Eagle Squadron to the disintegration and sinking of the pirate ship was less than ten minutes.

If the ship belongs to humans, then when the pirate ship is bombed and sunk, the human pirates on board will also be wiped out.

However, most of the members on this pirate ship were sahuagin. The situation was different. The sinking of the warship did not mean the destruction of the pirate group.

Just as the pirate ship sank, the sahuagin on the deck jumped into the water to escape.

The reason why these monsters are called "murlocs" is not only that they look like fish, but also their physiological structure is similar to fish. They are born with the ability to breathe in water and can roam freely in the vast ocean.

It doesn't matter if the pirate ship is lost, as long as the people are still there, flee back to the lair, try to snatch a new ship in the future, and continue to run amok on the sea, lawless - this is the root cause of the Shahua pirates' difficulty in completely eradicating them.

Joan noticed that the Giant Eagle Squadron spread its wings and hovered in the air after the pirate ship was sunk, monitoring the fleeing sahuagin paddling on the sea, but did not dive down to hunt and kill them.

However, just when the group of sahuagin who had abandoned the ship thought they were safe, a loud siren suddenly sounded in front of them.

Joan also heard the siren, and turned his head curiously. Under the reflection of the moonlight and the fire, he saw a huge silver steel ship in the distance, with roaring motors, riding the wind and waves, sailing towards Horseshoe Island.

Seeing the military flag waving in the wind on the bridge of the silver heavy cruiser, Auror's eyes immediately overflowed with surprise.

"It's the 'Yangbo', the flagship of the Baiou Harbor Navy! Our warship is finally here!"

The heavy armored cruiser "Yangbo" driven by a magic steam engine has a double-layer artillery deck and is loaded with a total of 40 32-pound naval guns. It is like a roaring steel behemoth. one.

Joan couldn't help holding his breath, staring at the "Yangbo" rushing into the battle area, vaguely feeling that the battle tonight was not over yet.

However, although the navy had strong ships and powerful guns, they were unable to use their naval guns to bombard the fallen rogues who had already been scattered on the sea. Except for their amazing momentum, they seemed unable to pose a real threat to the sahuagin.

Those sahuagin who were sinking in the sea also had the same thoughts as Joan, and found that a steel warship was approaching. After the initial panic, they quickly regained their composure, paddling leisurely, and even jumped He made a move, pointed his middle finger viciously at the mast of "Yangbo", and laughed loudly.

Joan frowned, and the remote-controlled Blood Mosquito Agent flew over the deck of the "Yangbo", wanting to observe the plans of the naval officers and soldiers on the deck.

After switching the viewing angle, Joan's eyes were immediately attracted by the "Steel Matrix" displayed on the deck.

On the deck serving as the apron, there are 25 silver humanoid structures on display, about 16 feet high, shaped like a mold, all equipped with bayonets and magic crystal rapid-fire guns, arranged in a neat square array, like a statue in full suit Armed, mighty and majestic Iron Giant!

Joan initially thought that these constructs were "steel golems", but he quickly rejected this conjecture.

The belly of these steel structures is equipped with hatches, the belly is hollow, and complex control devices can be vaguely seen.

25 sailors in blue uniforms, all small and agile sea elves, lined up across the deck, walked up to a steel structure, skillfully climbed up the gangway, got into the engine room, and closed the cabin Door.

Not long after, the twenty silver constructs made the roar of magic motors one after another. Under the control of the sea elf pilot in their belly, they took big strides, left the deck along a downward-sloping gangway, and dived into the sea.

After entering the water, the booster engine installed behind the silver construct rumbled and rotated at high speed driven by the magic steam engine, like a speedboat with propeller blades, rolling up white waves and pushing the body to dive at high speed.

Not long after, these silver constructs advanced to the sea area where the sahuagin gathered, raised the magic crystal rapid-fire cannon mounted on the right arm, and collectively pulled the trigger. The muzzle flashed silver arcs, blasting out a series of shuttle-shaped shells.

The warhead of the rapid-fire gun was cast from some unknown material, and it showed a pearl-like color. It pierced through the water without any hindrance. Flesh flew everywhere.
