Chapter 242: Encounter at Sea

Because he could see far from the mast, Lin Chuanzong was the first to see who the incoming ship was, but he didn't say anything. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After a while, the pirates also saw it clearly and were in an uproar.

"It's your own boat!"

William could see that something was wrong with the pirates' reactions, and he looked around to see who could get useful information from their mouths.

Lin Chuanzong slipped down from the mast and ran to him to inform: "This is our previous shopkeeper, and he wants to seize this ship." ”

It turned out to be a pirate trying to seize the ship, and these captives were his men! William's expression became serious, he walked to the bow of the boat, and whispered to Xia Nan.

Xia Nan decisively ordered: "All the guards are on alert, ready for battle, watch these prisoners, if there is anything abnormal, don't worry about killing!" ”

There were only about twenty members of the escort, but as soon as the bayonets lit up, the seventy or eighty pirates cowered and did not dare to move. Last night's battle had already taught them a lesson, and it was useless to have too many people.

Shopkeeper Zhang didn't know the situation on the ship, he thought that as long as he got close, he could take down the big ship with the old trick of jumping gangs, not to mention that the boat on the opposite side was full of his own people.

He narrowed the distance between him and the big ship as he wished, only about two hundred meters, and he could already see the crowd gathered at the stern of the boat, and he could recognize that this was his own subordinate from the way he dressed, he became excited, the other party was simply a pig, and the prisoner of his own men was not killed, didn't he create an opportunity for himself?

"Brothers, get ready to guys! There are our people on the ship over there, and as long as we can board it, this big ship will be ours! ”

The henchmen screamed and brandished their knives, waiting for the two ships to approach.

At this time, the big ship in front slowed down and turned around, drew an arc on the sea, and aimed it sideways at this side.

Shopkeeper Zhang and his henchmen were stunned. This boat is much taller than their own ship, if you want to board the ship, you don't have to think about setting up a gangplank, you can only climb up with a hook from the side, originally they had to board the ship when they were parallel to the big ship, and now the other party took the initiative to sell them the flaws on the side, which is like a beautiful woman facing a rapist with her legs apart, no matter how you look at it, it is a little weird.

Before they could figure it out, several openings suddenly opened in the side of the big ship, revealing a dark cannon muzzle.

The shopkeeper Zhang was distracted, and shouted bitterly: "It's a cannon!" ”

The two ships were only about a hundred meters away from each other, and they could board the ship for hand-to-hand combat, but they would never have this opportunity. There were a few loud bangs, and several cannons opened fire one after another, and one by one the dark barrels erupted from the muzzles, and when they left the muzzles, they burst into a rain of bullets, whistling towards the pirate's wooden ship.

In the heart-rending screams, these grape-sized iron projectiles were beaten into a sieve by the powerful kinetic energy, the torn pieces of flesh flew in all directions, the blades were smashed into several pieces, and the head of the shopkeeper Zhang, who was looking forward to turning the table, was smashed by several iron balls and fell into the sea.

There were lucky men who were not hit by the vital point, they were lucky not to die, they struggled to climb into the cabin to escape, and the second round of shelling soon began again, and a rain of bullets swept across the deck, and there were no more people standing alive on board.

The pirates aboard the Lingao stared blankly at the ship opposite—they had been part of the ship yesterday, and now they could only watch as their accomplices were bombarded into a sieve by the cannons.

The storm came and went as fast as it came, and after two rounds of shelling it stopped, and the deck was littered with corpses, none of them intact, and there was flesh and blood everywhere, and broken fingers floated on the flowing blood.

In the deathly silence, someone vomited with a whoop, and it was the fierce man who claimed to know nothing but to cut people. Although he had cut off many people's heads, he had never seen anything like it, and the hellish scene made his stomach churn and he couldn't help but vomit.

Xia Nan glanced at the side of the boat and then shrank back, shaking his head again and again: "It's too brutal!" ”

Although he commanded the convoy to bombard the opponent with mountain howitzers, the 8-pound solid bullet was far less powerful than the 32-pound Caron gun. This kind of large-sized shotgun barrel supervised by Lin Weiye can hold 100 iron projectiles with a diameter of two or three centimeters, and when it flies out of the muzzle, it will break due to the difference between internal and external pressure, and the projectile inside will turn into a shower of metal rain and fly towards the enemy.

William and Charles were amazed again and again, the short and heavy guns that Lin Weiye said were really powerful, and the shotguns fired from 4 guns on one side wiped out all the enemies on the deck, and if the number of cannons was increased to 14, the power could be imagined.

Losing control, the Fukun began to slowly spin in place, swaying from side to side in the undulating waves, and from time to time corpses slipped into the sea under the influence of gravity.

The two small boats in the back approached the big ship by inertia, and the people on deck were full of terror and tried to turn the ship around and leave this terrible place.

Seeing this, Xia Nan said to William, "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and let this group of pirates disappear from this sea area." ”

William ordered the gunners to change to solid shells and shoot at the two small boats. At such a close distance, there is no need for the gunner to have any superb artillery skills, and he can hit with his eyes closed. Four Caron guns fired two rounds of solid shells, half of which hit the hull.

The power of the 32-pound solid bullet was enough to smash through the two ships, which were no bigger than the sampan, and after a burst of cannon fire, both ships were smashed by the solid bullets and almost fell apart, the hull of the ship was seriously rolled, and many pirates fell into the sea, churning in the water, shouting for help.

Shopkeeper Zhang's counterattack ended gorgeously, and he disappeared forever.

The pirates on the "Lingao" watched the slaughter on this side, and they didn't dare to come out. They were extremely glad that they had been captured, otherwise they would have been the ones who would have been turned into minced meat and fed to the fish.

Lin Chuanzong was shocked by the power of the cannon, he understood why William said that hand-to-hand combat was a primitive and backward way of fighting, and with such a cannon, the ghost was willing to jump to fight hard.

However, when he saw the pirates calling for help on the sea, he felt a little unbearable. These people are the old, weak, sick and disabled in the eyes of the shopkeeper, and the killing will not be arranged to the front line, and it will not be their turn to share the spoils.

Lin Chuanzong hesitated for a while, then plucked up the courage to say to William: "Master Yang, our shopkeeper is dead, these living people are not his henchmen, if you can send mercy to save them, they can also serve you." ”

The pirates looked at Lin Chuanzong in surprise, when did this waste have so guts? After witnessing this massacre, William and the others were tantamount to King Yama in their eyes, and they didn't dare to look at them directly, Lin Chuanzong actually dared to open his mouth to plead!
