Chapter 57 Breakout
"No!" King Chuang suddenly clapped his hands and shouted to the lookout: "Look to see if there is a trident on the opponent's third flag?"
The lookout hand looked at it for a long time and said: "It looks a bit like it! It looks like a letter "1" there, and there is also a fork on the top, maybe it's a trident!"
"Then the second flag should be a one-eyed parrot?"
The lookout hand still looked at it and said: "What kind of bird is it? I don't rule out the possibility of it being a parrot!"
"That should be it!" King Chuang sighed helplessly!
"Why are you sighing?" I suddenly realized something. "Could it be...!" I opened the wings of the magic dragon and flew to the top of the mast. With the help of Xingtong's super vision and the monocular in my hand, I could clearly see the opponent's flag. An oversized one-eyed skull appeared in my telescope. Below the skull was a pair of crossed scimitars. Isn’t this a pirate flag? "First Mate!" I shouted down to the deck below.
"Yes!" the first mate responded immediately. "What's the captain's order?"
"Full right rudder! Let's turn around! Avoid the fleet ahead!"
"Yes!" The first mate turned around and shouted to the helmsman: "Full starboard rudder! Everyone grabs the hull to secure themselves!"
The Bi Ling made a beautiful tail flick with agility that was completely disproportionate to its size. The huge inertia threw everyone on the ship towards the left string, and a huge wave more than ten meters high was caught. Push it up and then slam it violently into the sea, just like the sea's protest!
"Propulsor at full speed! Drive away enemy ships!" I ordered again!
Of course the first mate implemented my advice neatly, but then we didn’t know what to do! "Captain! An unknown battleship group was spotted from the front!"
"From the front?" We had just turned around. The warships that were originally in front of us are now on our left string. Now the fleet appears from nowhere from the front!
I raised the telescope and looked in the direction of my finger. It didn’t matter if I didn’t look. This sight almost scared me off the mast! A fleet of at least 100 warships appeared in front. Judging from the distance, it should be no more than 30 kilometers away from us!
"The battleship group was found on the right string, 30 kilometers away, 93 in number, heading towards our ship!" Lookout No. 2 shouted again. Before he could finish his words, the No. 3 lookout at the stern shouted again. "The battleship group was found, 33 kilometers away, 77 in number, heading towards our ship!"
"Damn it, it's all around, we're surrounded!" I said to the eagle below. "We can't get out!"
King Chuang pointed to the left front. "Purple Sun! At 11 o'clock, the enemy is still far away. If your ship is fast, you may be able to rush over before the encirclement is formed!"
I looked over there, and there was indeed a big gap between the two fleets, and the distance was relatively far. If I sprinted at full speed, I might actually be able to escape! "First mate! Full left rudder! Direction 11 o'clock, sprint at full speed!"
"Yes!" the first mate ordered skillfully: "11 o'clock direction! Turn the rudder! All personnel secure themselves!"
Like a drunken man, the Bi Ling suddenly turned around and turned from right to left. The mast also changed from right to left. It took a lot of effort for me. Only then did he hug the mast and not be thrown into the sea! After two consecutive turns, the Bi Ling almost stopped moving at almost no speed, and its four propellers started at full speed, causing huge waves at the stern. The entire battleship rushed out violently. Our hope for survival lies in speed. Although I believe in the combat effectiveness of the Biling and believe that the Biling is not afraid of a duel with any warship, that does not mean that we can fight four fleets. The salvo of artillery fire from nearly four hundred warships can destroy any warship. Even if they are all the most powerful flat guns, they will definitely kill people!
I jumped off the deck and said: "Everyone, get on the gun position. If we can't get out, we have to fire back! Big pot of rice, you and passerby A go to the bottom cabin with 1,000 rocket soldiers and 1,000 swordsmen. If it doesn't work after a while, let them go." You know how powerful our speedboat attack team is!"
"No problem!" Big Pot Rice and Passerby A got into the bottom of the boat and waited for my departure order, while I prayed on the deck to let us leave!
"Report!" The lookout shouted at this juncture: "The enemy warships have begun to converge, and they are going to cut off our way out!"
"Little Dragon Girl!" I called out to Little Dragon Girl and asked her to get into the water. "You push into the water, we are not fast enough!"
"Open the safety on all gun positions and start loading shells!" Ying drew his sword and walked behind the gunner, looking like he was going to fight to the end!
"Over there!" I pointed at the magic crystal cannon. "Prepare the magic crystal cannon! Wuqing, Shura Ziyi, you are in charge of the bow cannon. Ziyue and Hongyue, you are in charge of the second cannon, Rose and Bingbing are in charge of the third cannon, Gold Coin and Awei are in charge of the fourth cannon. Zhange, Wuyu, are in charge of the stern cannon. I leave it to you! Be careful, this is a giant magic crystal cannon, not your small toys. Just aim and shoot. Also, there must be a 30-second interval between the two cannons, otherwise it will explode!"
"Got it! Got it!" Wuyu rubbed his hands and ran towards the cannon at the stern of the ship. To be honest, I'm really worried about this guy!
"Lan Feng, I don't know your hunter profession, but the equipment looks like a warrior profession. You should be the charge leader. If there is a hand-to-hand combat, you will be responsible for leading the charge!"
"OK!"
"King Chuang, you have more experience in commanding battleships. Later you will be responsible for commanding the course adjustment!"
"Can!"
"Ying, you will be in charge of the artillery battle, and Bailing will be in charge of the command of the archers. Okay, everyone, get ready!"
Now is the moment of life and death. No one dares to relax. The battle will start at any time, so everyone consciously starts working quietly.
I ran to the bow of the ship and looked at the sea ahead. The enemy ships were approaching rapidly. The gap in the strait ahead was getting narrower and narrower. I always felt that we might not be able to get through. The speed of the Bi Ling can be said to be unique, but the speed of the pirate ship is also surprisingly fast, and it can cover a distance of dozens of kilometers in the blink of an eye!
"Ziri! There are only kilometers left and we are already within firing range. Do we want to fire?" Eagle asked me anxiously.
"Don't fire yet! Wait and see!"
"But it would be dangerous for the enemy to get close to us. Now our only advantage is the range!"
"Boom!" A huge explosion caused huge waves, and a water column more than ten meters high appeared on the bow of the ship.
All of us were almost stunned, what kind of cannon is this! It's too powerful! Not only does the enemy possess ultra-long-range cannons with a range of kilometers, but most importantly, the pirates' firepower is comparable to our ram dragon cannon!
"Fight back, fire back!" I reacted and ordered loudly.
King Chuang also said to the helmsman: "Start a small zigzag sail!"
The battleship began to move forward in a weird S route. After the first shell hit the water, continuous water columns appeared one after another in front, back and left of us. However, I don’t know whether it was our luck or the small-scale zigzag navigation of King Chuang that worked. Anyway, not a single shell has hit us so far.
Just when I was thinking that the shells suddenly stopped, I quickly shouted: "Don't stand still, the opponent's first round of bombardment is over, fight back quickly! Magic crystal cannon, sink the opponent's flagship!"
Wuyu stuck his head out of the gun room. "Which ship is the flagship?"
"Hit whichever one you think is bigger!"
"Okay!" He retracted into the gun room.
Five magic crystal cannons fired almost at the same time, and the huge vibration made me almost unable to stand still. The giant magic crystal cannon is indeed extraordinary, indeed not extraordinary, it is very loud! My ears are going to be deafened! But the effect is also very significant. The giant magic crystal cannon is equipped with a sight, and all 5 shells hit it. As soon as the purple shells came into contact with the enemy ship, it was like being shot into tofu, and the entire battleship turned into countless pieces of wood flying around.
Just as the bombardment of the magic crystal cannon ended, the ram dragon cannon below also began to fire. The cannon on the bow fired first, and the cannons at the back fired one after another in sequence, one by one from the bow to the stern. When the artillery fires come one by one, it sounds very spectacular, not to mention there are 1,300 cannons!
The pirate ship seemed to be shocked by our shelling. After our shelling ended, the pirates did not fire back! Eagle didn't care about the many gunners and shouted: "Don't stop, fire, keep firing!"
So the bombardment sounded more violently again. Because there was too much gunfire on the battleship, the gunfire in the bow gunrooms, which were lined up to fire in sequence, had not continued to the stern after loading new ammunition, so a new round of shelling began. The tail of the last time started again. The pirates probably didn't expect to encounter such fierce firepower, or they wanted to capture such a valuable warship. In short, the pirates never fired another shot after the first round of bombardment!
After rounds of shelling, we were very close to the pirates. I shouted directly on the guild channel: "Big pot rice." "Bring your people out!"
"Hey, you've been waiting for a long time! It's finally our turn!"
A lot of bubbles suddenly appeared around the Bi Ling, and a figure rushed out of the water with a bang. It was the big pot of rice. There was a Rocketeer sitting on his back seat. On the other side, Passerby A also flew with a Rocketeer. out. Following them, 1,000 watercrafts swarmed out. These speedboats indeed looked like motorboats, even the sounds were similar. The speedboats rushed towards the pirate ship ahead with a roar.
The big pot rice simply stood on the boat and shouted like a cow while using the speedboat to attack the enemy ship. The pirates finally started to fight back again, but their target was shown to be these speedboats. They may have seen the Rocketeers on the speedboat, and they also realized how dangerous it was to have these people close to them. For a time, water jets stirred up by artillery fire continued to appear in the formation of the speedboats, but these two-person speedboats were only more than one meter long in total and were very narrow. Their area was too small, and the speed was so fast that the shells were almost invisible. The pirates' only hope is to aim randomly and hit the target with random guns!
But unfortunately, the god of luck fell into my arms again. The shells did not hit even a single speedboat. Instead, many speedboats rushed into the sea and the crew were thrown down by the water column raised by the shells. However, they quickly climbed onto the speedboats and continued to charge.
Just after the 10th round of firing from our magic crystal cannon, our motorboat finally rushed to the vicinity of the pirate ship. All the speedboats turned their tails beautifully and faced the enemy ship. The rocket man on the back seat quickly jumped from He took out the rocket head from the waterproof case, pointed it at the enemy ship and 'shot' it. For a moment, a sea of fire soared into the sky surrounded the pirates' warships, and the warships were on fire. I found that these rocketeers' arrows are far more effective than cannonballs. Our cannonballs can at most make two big holes in the enemy ship and blow up some internal facilities. Unless they hit key points such as ammunition depots, we can't do anything like this. Cannon kills the enemy. But rockets are different. These things have very strong burning ability. They often start out as a small ball of fire, but the rapidly spreading fire will eventually burn down the entire battleship. Wooden battleships are actually very easy to catch fire, plus kerosene. Many battleships sank inexplicably like this.
After completing the mission, the big pot of rice beckoned and led a large number of subordinates to turn around and run back. Of course, the pirates still fired a salute enthusiastically to see them off! A large number of speedboats jumped forward on the waves raised by the shells, and after several ups and downs, they rushed back to our side. When they came to the side of the Bi Ling, they operated the speedboat to jump up high and then press the bow of the boat violently. The speedboats plunged into the water from the air and got back into the bottom cabin through the opening in the bottom of the boat.
After a while, the big pot of rice and the passerby ran up excitedly with tears on their faces. "It's fun, it's fun! This thing is so fun! It's so cool! That action is so cool!"
"How are the losses?" I asked casually, looking at the gap that had been opened by the special attack team in front of me. I didn't care much about the losses compared to the results in front of me. Besides, I just saw the number of people who came back. Although I couldn't count them, I believe Even the loss is not too much.
Passerby A said: "The losses are not big, only 7 speedboats were lost, and 12 rocketeers fell off the speedboats and did not come back!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Compared with this victory, this loss is just a drop in the bucket!" I am in a much better mood now. We finally solved the battleship ahead.
The Bi Ling approached the burning fleet at a very high speed. Although it was set on fire, it was impossible for these pirate ships to sink in such a short period of time. However, the flames had already made them lose their fighting power, and countless pirates rushed to jump into the water.
Chuang Wang suddenly pointed forward. "Ziri, the burning warship is blocking the waterway!"
I said to the first mate calmly: "Get out of the collision angle! Crash the enemy ship away!"
"Yes! Get out of the collision angle! All personnel are ready to resist the impact!"
With a loud bang, the Biling easily knocked away the empty pirate ship. The pirate ships on both sides were also pushed far away, and a pirate ship directly in front was even cut off! Other pirate ships not far away watched us break out of the encirclement and speed away. The gunfire in the pirate ship suddenly started firing again. I was even more sure of my guess. The pirates must have wanted the Bi Ling, so they didn't fire the gun. Now they know that they will definitely not be able to keep the Bi Ling, so they are bent on sinking us with the mentality that they will not leave it to others if they can't get it.
Intensive artillery fire rained down, and it seemed that the God of Luck was not omnipotent. Because the distance was too close, a large number of artillery shells hit us, but the magic shield we got from Atlantis withstood many attacks. The magic shield Domingue sold us also dutifully absorbed a lot of artillery fire. power. The cannonballs that passed through these two layers of protection hit the magic silver that was thickened to 10 times its original thickness. This was what we asked the old man to thicken when we remodeled the hull. Anyway, we have money, so we don't care about this! Now it shows how appropriate this idea is! A large number of cannonballs got stuck on the magic silver. Although the soft magic silver was not very strong, it became the most effective impact-absorbing cushion with the help of the crystal wood behind it. All the cannonballs were embedded in the magic silver armor like sesame seeds on bread, and none of the cannonballs penetrated the deck and entered the hull! Although this makes the side of the Bi Ling look like a toad covered with blisters, between being sunk and turning into a toad, I would rather be my toad. It's going to be dark soon anyway, and when the moon comes out we'll be repairing all the damage again.
"Bye bye pirates!" With our speed advantage, we quickly distanced ourselves from the pirates! As long as we run for a while, we will be completely out of the pirates' shooting range. Although we are still within the shooting range, scattered shelling and low hit accuracy make us very safe! The pirate ships behind seemed to have lost interest in us, and they began to regroup, but they did not leave and still followed us from a distance. The other three fleets also came over, but they did not merge but followed us at a distance and refused to give up.
I climbed up the mast and looked at the four fleets behind me. With the help of Star Eyes, I discovered that three small boats appeared among them. The small boats all sailed towards the largest fleet in the middle, a warship that was almost as big as the Biling. Then the people on the small boats got on the big ship. I could see that the people on the three small boats were very strange.
One of them was an Asian, probably Chinese, because his clothes seemed to be from the coastal areas of China. But I'm not sure, because almost all Asian countries have been thoroughly penetrated by Chinese culture. Can you say which Asian country has no Chinese culture in it at all? This man has a bald head, looks very scary, and has a sinister face that makes him look like a fierce and aggressive person.
Next to the Asian man is a Caucasian woman with exaggerated dazzling red hair and a tight-fitting leather outfit. It looks like the kind of clothing that women used when riding horses that was popular in Europe during the Middle Ages, especially her high top. Riding boots were definitely from that time. This woman is quite beautiful. Her high nose bridge and big blue eyes give people a sense of arrogance, and she is generally full of wild beauty. However, the two big men following her were really scary, and you could count every muscle on her body!
The third man is a Caucasian with a brown-red beard. He looks like someone from Russia. He is quite tall and has the same type of build as the Asian. He is tough but brainless. type. He was wearing a suit of armor made of unknown leather, and it looked very sturdy!
At this time, a man came out of the cabin on the ship. This is a brown race. I feel that he is from India, but judging from the other three people who came to the boat, it seems that this Indian has the highest status among the four people, but I really can’t figure it out. Why are Indians so awesome? I seem to have never heard of a time when India had a glorious Warring States period that spread throughout the world!
The four people gathered together and started talking. I really wanted to know what they were going to do, so I asked the first mate to reduce the speed of the boat and keep a distance. The four people discussed for a long time and seemed to have disagreements. The red-haired female pirate was the first to turn around angrily and ran out to take a boat back to her fleet. After the female pirate left, the Asian man seemed unhappy and left. The Russian was even more impulsive and started fighting with the Indian.
"Where are they singing?" Since the distance was relatively close, Chuang Wang and others used telescopes to observe the meeting behind them.
"I don't know. It seems that pirates from all over the world are here. There are all kinds of people here except black people!" I replied.
"Look, that Indian Asan is going to be strangled to death by that Russian!" Hongyue shouted.
I quickly looked over there, and sure enough, the Russian grabbed the Indian by the neck and lifted him up. Because the Russian is too big and has long arms and legs, the Indians can't reach the Russian's face. However, he can't move the Russian macho's hand, and only has two hands to swipe randomly in the air, and his feet are too messy. Deng looked like he was about to die. Because this is the Indian Asan's ship, which is the fleet that just intercepted us and started a war with us, so this ship is full of Indians. They all rushed to rescue their leader. The leader was finally rescued by everyone and lay on the ground violently. pant. Other Indians had already joined forces with the Russians. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a fountain of blood emerged, and the Indian assans all retreated a distance. The Russian had a machete stuck in his stomach and took a few steps back with a look of disbelief on his face before he collapsed. Almost as he fell, the Russian fleet suddenly opened fire on the Indian fleet parked next to it.
The Indian fleet immediately began to fight back after being attacked. The two sides just stopped together and fired at each other. If the ship in the front row sank, the ones in the back immediately took up the position. The fleet of the red-haired female pirate also quickly broke away from the formation and went around to the front of the fleet to start attacking the Indians. Almost immediately after the Asian returned to his ship, the Asian warships also began to bombard the Indians. The flag bearers of the three fleets were still shouting flags to each other. I pulled the flag bearer and asked, "What are they talking about?"
The flag bearer said word by word: "You... you... said... to... the... water... head... in front of...... that... he... wanted... to... die... with... Black... ...Son...fight...a...fish...death...broken...!"
"What does this mean?"
Eagle shook his head: "Anyway, the negotiation failed and turned into a melee!"
I said to the first mate: "Stop the ship! I want to see what they are doing! Don't miss such a beautiful naval battle, just think of it as learning tactical skills!"
