Since the second ship was halfway through the turn, the situation was even worse than that of the first. www.biquge.info In the face of the iron-hulled ship rushing straight over, the rats were frightened and helpless, and the few who could resist shot at the enemy with crossbow arrows, but the crossbow arrows were no different from tiny sewing needles in front of such a behemoth, and they could not even see a mark on the iron plate.

Soon, the iron ship carrying an unstoppable force slammed into the center of the eagle-headed ship at an almost vertical angle, squeezing more than a dozen long oars to pieces. Eden then witnessed the unthinkable—the combined force of the current and the impact of the ship slammed into the water on one side and arched the enemy's bow at the same time.

The latter cocked the bow of the ship as if it had run aground, and then slammed it the deck.

The eagle-headed ship suddenly made a screeching sound, and the rats that were still alive jumped into the water to escape, and those whose hands and feet were broken could only roll on the sloping deck screaming, leaving blood trails in their wake. Eden watched as the iron ship slowly descended, and his own long, narrow hull crackled and exploded - the wooden ship was not as strong as the beach, and under the pressure and pushing, the hull suddenly broke off, and the ends were violently raised, and the water splashed.

The ship, broken in two, did not sink quickly, but lay on the surface of the river like a corpse, exposing only half of its sideboard. The iron-hulled ship looked unscathed and continued to speed towards itself.

Eden heard a gasp, and the four eagle-headed ships were half lost in an instant, and the one he commanded was about to become the next one, and at that moment, he was ready to jump ship and flee for his life.

But luckily, he got it right!

Seeing that his ship was completely close to the shore, the enemy turned the course and pursued the Baron Derrick, the last to turn around and escape.

"Raise your bow and your stick!" Eden hissed as he let out a sigh, "We're going to kill these beasts hiding in the iron shells! I'll reward every enemy I kill with a golden dragon!"

If he escapes back to the royal capital like this, even if he survives, he has no possibility of promotion at all, and his only chance is to defeat this traitorous ship and use it to ask His Majesty Tifeco for merit - even if this ship was built by the devil of hell, as long as the people on it are still the same as himself, there is still a possibility of turning defeat into victory!

Not crushed by the enemy ship like ants, the courage of the sailors in their hearts has returned a lot, these people have done the work of licking blood with knives, and are accustomed to seeing bloody scenes - as long as it is not a one-sided slaughter, they are still interested in fighting for the golden dragon.

Assured that it would not be hit, the eagle-headed boat left the river bank and headed in the same direction as the iron-hulled ship, slowly approaching its course, which soon pursued it to a parallel position.

Just as the other side was about to overtake him, the distance between the two ships was only a few meters, and the sailors took up a variety of weapons, ready to fight first, and then jump over to fight after the ships were close together, which is also the usual way to deal with merchant ships. But the deck of the enemy ship was empty, except for a long black tube at the tail of the ship, which was surrounded by iron sheets, and only a row of small holes were exposed in the center.

Before Eden could figure out what it was, the front of the iron pipe had already spewed out a long tongue of flames!

The crowd standing in a row suddenly raised a mist of blood, splashing wood debris and flesh scattered everywhere, the sailors fell in batches like cutting wheat, and the people who reacted began to look for cover, but neither the barrel nor the mast were to avail, the position where the iron pipe pointed was where the Grim Reaper was, the barrel was torn to pieces, and the mast could not withstand the continuous blow of this terrifying weapon, with a creaking sound broke in two, the upper part fell into the water with the canvas, and the eagle-headed boat, which had lost its main power, slowed down abruptly.

Eden's fantasy did not turn around, and he probably understood that it was supposed to be a musket, but the rate of fire was too fast, and it changed from a thumping sound to a continuous sizzling sound. It's just that he couldn't figure out why a weapon that was extremely slow to reload and had a very poor accuracy could do this in the hands of the traitor...... Perhaps, only the power of the devil can explain it.

Soon, a rain of bullets covered him.

Rodney had seen such a battle for the first time, and the Roland went on a rampage, using its hard bow and powerful power to crush its opponents, who were powerless to resist. He stood in his gun position, waiting to fire, but in the end he couldn't wait for this opportunity.

When the fourth enemy ship was paralyzed in the middle of the river, the battle was over.

The wails and groans of the enemy wafted through the air, and those who survived had completely lost the will to fight, and they swam to the banks of the river, fleeing into the depths of the woods without looking back. For these lost dogs, His Royal Highness did not give an order to pursue them, and let them leave on their own. In addition, there are some seriously injured guys who are leaning on the wreck of the ship and dying, and naturally no one will treat them, and in the end they must be left to fend for themselves.

"It's a shame," Yuzupi said, putting the shell back in the box, "I thought I would be able to show the men in the musket battalion the true power of the artillery." ”

"Yes," replied Nelson, also regretfully, "not much more than the ammunition consumed by the heavy machine gun just now, and it will save you a lot of trouble." ”

"That's enough, this is made by Miss Anna herself, can it compare to the machine-gun bullets that can produce hundreds of rounds a day?" Vanna frowned, "You will fight the siege battles in the future, give me the aim point when the time comes, don't lose the face of the artillery battalion! You are the ones I picked-"

"Elite group, Mr. Battalion Commander, you have said it many times," Nelson said, "Don't worry, you will make sure that the gates of the royal capital will be blasted open within three cannons." He nudged Rodney, "Hey, you can say something, too." ”

"I want to have a ship like this......"

"What?" the other four were stunned.

"I wish I could have a shallow-water heavy gunship like this," he repeated with sparkling eyes, "and it's called the Rodney!"

"Wait, don't you think you should give this honor to your brother? ”

"No, no...... Brother, I won't let this go. ”

"You two save it, the second one could only be the Vanna, and don't forget who recruited you to the elite artillery crew. ”

"Here we go again," Catpaw sighed.

"Can't it be a cat's paw or a pomelo peel?" Yuzu Pi muttered quietly.

"No," the three replied in unison.

When the cement ships that lagged behind followed the flagship one after another, the expeditionary fleet set off again. Two days later, the blue-gray walls of the royal capital slowly unfolded in front of everyone. (To be continued.) )
