Chapter 795: Victory
The effect here is not much to affect the hull itself, but it is a great horror in the hearts of the pirates, and it is believed that anyone who sees someone flying into the sky in a strange thing for the first time and hitting their opponents in this way will be shocked.
Cai Ning was caught off guard, the flagship is finished, if the fire can't be extinguished for a while, the ship will be scrapped, Cai Ning, who was covered with black and gray faces, looked at the men who jumped into the sea with a head mouse, sighed, and decisively chose to jump into the sea to escape before those monsters came back.
In the sky, the Great White Shark, Yu Jingqiu frowned, turned around and adjusted the direction, and said to Yuan Fang: "Brother-in-law, the hit rate of the bombing is less than one-third, which is not much different from the training." ”
Yuan Fang stood beside Sang Rou, who was piloting the spaceship, and could see clearly through the glass window on the floor in front of him, not only their team, but also the two teams of Dawn and Tianyao, and even inferior.
So far, although it is only the first round of bombardment, it is also the most difficult beginning, but some of the thirty or so pirate ships below have barely sunk one, and the other two squads have mediocre results, except for burning the sails of three ships, there is not much gain.
Incendiary bombs are absolutely lethal against wooden ships, but they also need to be dense enough to not give the people on board too long to extinguish the fire, if you want to achieve the expected combat purpose, then you need more airships, more fog balloons to form a denser firepower, but there are only so many here, if you want to complete the battle quickly and effectively, then you can only improve the hit rate, but how to improve it? You can use a ruler to calculate bomb dropping with reference to various data, but Yuan Fang doesn't understand this, even if there are smarter people who can figure out a set of feasible technologies suitable for this world, it will definitely take a long time.
Yuan Fang's face was not very good-looking, the combat tactics were all proposed by him, and the officers and soldiers of the air force were all implemented according to his plan, but the effect was far less than expected: "Go on, order the fog balloons to form two by two, each choose a target, attack freely, first burn the sails of the pirate ship, so that they have nowhere to escape, the great white shark does not leave the battlefield, continue to fight, and order the Dawn to be responsible for centering the supply." Yu Jingqiu wanted to say what she thought, but when she saw Yuan Fang's face, she didn't open her mouth in the end, and continued to fight according to Yuan Fang's order as originally planned.
The air force dispersed, the fog balloons were in pairs, maintaining altitude and speed, following the target pirate ship as much as possible, with a sparse roar, one by one the pirate ships ignited flames, but soon, those pirates who calmed down from the panic picked up buckets, water guns to extinguish the flames, soon, the first round of battles ended, the fog balloons began to replenish ammunition, only a few fog balloons still stuck to their posts, but their firepower was sharply reduced, deterrence was greater than destruction, fortunately, the sails of thirty pirate ships were mostly ignited, the speed has decreased sharply, some have even been unable to move, and the fleet of the Navy has managed to escape.
The battle has reached this point, from some angles the air force is completely victorious, the pirates are powerless, and as time goes by, the air force can slowly pick them up as long as they concentrate their firepower, but this is not what Yuan Fang wants to see, his expectation is to fight quickly, and it is best to sink the enemy ship in one or two rounds of merit instead of being in such a half-dead state as it is now.
Yuan Fang looked at Yu Jingqiu: "Jingqiu, do you have any good solutions?" ”
Yu Jingqiu secretly glanced at the flag of the Tianyao not far away, which kept repeating the request to lower the altitude, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother-in-law, in fact, I think that soldiers have to bear the risk of dying in battle when they go to the battlefield, but blindly seeking safety is not the proper style of a soldier, brother-in-law, I propose to lower the altitude and keep it at about five hundred meters, as long as we can avoid the attack of bows and arrows and most of the crossbow arrows, I believe that our combat effectiveness will be increased by several levels." ”
Yuan Fang nodded: "Okay, just do as you say, let everyone be careful, especially the movable heavy crossbows on the ship, they are our threat." Yu Jingqiu nodded, and immediately gave an order, ordering the replenished fog balloon to be thrown into battle again, with a height of five hundred.
Many fog balloons were a little incredulous when they saw this order, and they waved flags to ask if they had made a mistake, and when they determined the height of five hundred, they did not hesitate and followed the order.
The Great White Shark slowly lowered under the operation of Sang Rou chasing the good place below, Ye Qingru's eyes became brighter and brighter, looking down at a height of one thousand meters, the pirate ship was not much bigger than the rice bowl, and after reducing the height by half, it was different, the target became larger, the prediction was more accurate, and when the first positioning incendiary bomb accurately landed on the front deck of the pirate ship below, a large flame erupted, and the ferocity and strength of the air force were finally vividly displayed.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, there are constantly flames, the pirate ship is full of fire, the sailors on the deck are killed and burned to death, there is hardly a living person in sight, the fast ones all jump into the sea to escape, the slow ones are buried in the fire, and those with head problems hide in the cabin, waiting for them is still only death.
Situ Muran looked at the one-sided battlefield in astonishment, the surging flames seemed to ignite him, and he muttered in horror, "Why did it come down so low? This is not Lord Yuan's style. Come, come, order the helmsman to turn around quickly, be fast, otherwise there will be nothing, the flag soldiers send flags, let the air force slow down the pace of the attack, we want pirate warships, let them keep a few good ships. "The increase in the hit rate represents an increase in the destructive power, and the naval fleet has just turned its bow and leaned over to prepare for the battle, but the battle has already come to an end.
Most of the thirty pirate ships were parked on the surface of the sea, blazing with fires that threatened to perish at any moment, and only seven or eight pirate ships were fine, but the sails were all broken.
At Situ Muran's request, Yu Jingqiu terminated the battle in a timely manner, and the mist balloon was suspended above the pirate ships that were still intact after replenishing ammunition, so frightened that the pirates on the ship did not dare to move, and obediently stayed on the deck and prepared to jump into the sea to escape.
On the sea, many pirates rowed boats to save their comrades who fell into the water, they have been completely conquered, no one dares to leave, even if the coast is close at hand, they know that even if they escape ashore, it will not help, the defense of the island cannot deal with these monsters in the air at all, maybe there is a glimmer of life to stay here.
Situ Muran approached with the fleet, and the sailors continued to fire heavy crossbows to sink the charred pirate ships one after another according to the officer's orders, and they did this as a kind of catharsis, venting the unwillingness that had been pressed in their hearts for many years. Situ Muran's flagship stopped at about 200 meters from the surviving pirate ship and waved a flag to persuade the other party to abandon the ship and surrender.
