Chapter 367 Dilemma
Chapter 367 The Dilemma
The pirates on the deck had already been hiding, and the marbles did not cause any more damage. However, the falling marbles still jumped around, and some even jumped into the cabin. Sun Ronglu picked up a marble and was sure that it was indeed a grape bullet.
"impossible!"
"impossible!"
"impossible!"
Sun Ronglu shouted in anger.
He could not guess why Zhang Zhun could throw grapes to such a long distance! At such a long distance, he could not throw grape bombs to the two monsters at all! There was a total difference of more than fifty feet in the middle! Fifty feet! This is definitely a deadly distance!
Sun Ronglu even felt a little fear. He thought that the hand-to-hand combat that was invincible for a hundred battles would be very likely to die because of this. Because, under the opponent's dense grape bullets, the pirates had no chance to jump to fight. If they wanted to jump to fight, they had to stick it on it. However, under the opponent's fierce grape bullets, how did they stick it on it? Do they commit suicide?
However, this is not the most terrifying thing. What is most terrifying is that since the grape bomb has been shot, will the chain bomb still be far away? Once the opponent launches the chain bomb... the destructive power of the chain bomb on the ship, especially the mast and sail, is absolutely deadly. A distance of fifty feet is not far away, and it is not close, which is enough for the opponent to fire three-wheeled chain bombs.
Three-wheeled chain bombs! As long as one round is hit, the consequences will be unimaginable! Once the mast and sail are destroyed, all ships will be targets of enemy cannons. Can warships without mobility still be considered ships? Sun Ronglu knew the most about this. He was here to eliminate Zhang Zhun, not to be destroyed by Zhang Zhun.
Sun Ronglu was once again in a dilemma.
To move forward, you have to endure more chain bullets and grape bullets.
If the pirates could fight back, even if Sun Ronglu fought to endure certain casualties, he would still fight with Zhang Zhun. As long as he wins, Sun Ronglu would never care about how many people he killed the pirates. The pirates all came for money. Since they are here, they should be prepared to die.
The problem is that at this distance, the pirates cannot fight back. Yes, this is only about fifty feet away. For the vast ocean, the distance of fifty feet is completely negligible. However, in battle, the distance of fifty feet is enough to be fatal. At this distance of fifty feet, they can only be beaten for nothing. No matter how many people die, they can only endure it in vain.
If it were just dead, Sun Ronglu could bear it. Some pirates were humans. A group of pirates died, and another group of pirates. Sun Ronglu was sure to rush up and fight with Zhang Zhun in hand-to-hand victory. However, in addition to the grape bomb, there were chain bombs! The fierce chain bombs were enough to crippled their warships. When people died, there were any ships. But there were no ships. Sun Ronglu was also going to be finished.
Retreat, feel unwilling.
After finally breaking in, he had to retreat, but Sun Ronglu couldn't accept it. If he retreated now, he would also break in tomorrow. What's more, he would have to repeat such a battle tomorrow, and would also have to withstand the bombing of chain bullets and grape bullets tomorrow. Unless he no longer attacks Mawan.
...
Among all the pirate ships, the most unlucky one is undoubtedly Lao Qi's lucky ship.
Since he could not fire the artillery, Lao Qi's lucky ship could only follow behind slowly and prepare to wait for other pirate ships to go up before it followed. However, even so, he could not escape the fate of being attacked. The grape bombs fired by the Tiger Army Navy also enveloped Lao Qi's lucky ship.
The range of grape bombs scattered was too large. After crossing a distance of 500 meters, the projectiles had completely scattered, as if they were a layer of black clouds covering the sea area of hundreds of meters. Marbles kept falling from the sky and directly hitting Lao Qi's ship. Because the battlefield was too complicated, the sound of cannons was everywhere, and no one knew where these marbles came from, and no one cared about this. What everyone was concerned about was the huge casualties caused by grape bombs.
As they were preparing to fight with Jue Gang, the sailors on this lucky ship gathered on the deck, preparing to fight with Jue Gang. The flying hands were holding long ropes. Their team was also dense. As a result, the messy marbles fell down, blood splattered, and more than a dozen people fell down. Fortunately, they were on the edge of the barrage after all, and the density of the marbles was greatly reduced. Otherwise, at least half of the pirates would have to fall down.
The pirates were already very surprised. Which pirate was not afraid of the power of the grape bomb? They hurriedly entered the cabin and hid. Because the entrance to the cabin was so narrow, so many pirates could not pour in at once. As a result, when the second round of marbles fell, seven or eight pirates fell down.
The entire deck was full of pirates, dead and undead, close to each other, and blood flowed into the entire deck, turning the entire deck into red. The marbles that fell then turned all the wounded into dead completely. Blood poured from the edge of the deck like a waterfall in the sea.
In fact, the pirates on the deck are not the most miserable. The most miserable ones are often the pirates on the mast. They are in the air without any cover at all and cannot find any obstacles that can block the marbles. The only thing they can pray for is not to hit the marbles. If they are hit by the marbles, they will have no way to die.
"ah!"
A scream came.
"Bang!"
Something fell heavily on the deck and then there was no sound.
Anyone with a little experience knows that the one who makes this sound must be the sailboat on the mast being hit. In any naval battle, the fate of the sailboat is the most dangerous. They are the targets of the enemy ship's focus on attack. As long as they enter the range, all weapons and ammunition will be greeted by them. They are the sailors with the highest risk and the highest mortality rate. Of course, their rewards are also the highest, and some are even similar to the captain.
Under the bombing of grape bombs, the pirates on Lao Qifu's ship suffered a lot of casualties. Especially the sail drivers, the mortality rate was very high. Fortunately, the pirate sailors were still fearless. Some people kept falling down, but some people kept climbing up, always maintaining the effective operation of the sails to ensure the maneuver of the ship.
In fact, every pirate knows that the bloodiest, coldest, and large amounts of casualties are also present at this time. As long as you survive this darkest period, it will be easy to deal with. If you can't stand it... there is nothing to worry about... because, most of you have been beaten to death. You don't know anything after death, and you don't need to worry about anything.
Under the threat of grape bombs, Lao Qi could only hide in the cabin, looking at the marbles falling outside with a hint of horror and helplessness. The fear was because he felt something was wrong. At such a long distance, Zhang Zhun shot the grape bombs over, which was definitely abnormal. I wonder what kind of cannon Zhang Zhun used? The range was huge and so far! It was far beyond the range of the Flang machine cannon on his ship.
Unfortunately, the cannons on his ship cannot be fired, so they can only be beaten passively. This kind of passive beating is really bad! At the same time, since they cannot fight back, it has a great impact on morale. Many pirates are worried that if an enemy ship snatches them from close range, they don’t know what to do. Cannons cannot be fired, even if the enemy enters the range, they are powerless!
"call!"
"Cruff!"
Suddenly, Lao Qi heard a strange but familiar voice.
"Chain bullet!"
Lao Qi was shocked and screamed in shock.
He immediately heard it, it was the sound of the chain bounce passing through the sky.
Chain bullet!
This is a chain bullet!
Damn Zhang Zhun actually started firing chains!
This is not a good sign!
Lao Qi also likes to use chain blasts very much in naval battles. Whether it is a heavy chain blast made of two solid iron balls or a light chain blast made of two hollow iron balls, they are his favorites. Every time, he fires a chain blast at the maximum distance. He sees the chain blast hitting the mast of the enemy ship and hitting the sails of the enemy ship, he feels inexplicably excited.
However, at this moment, Lao Qi was only deeply afraid. Because he knew very well that once the chain blast hit the mast or sail, the performance of his ship would be seriously affected. Even if it was completely lost in mobility and turned into a target, it was not impossible.
"Qua!"
"Ga!"
"Gar!"
Sure enough, a very unpleasant voice came.
Lao Qi didn't need to go out to watch it, and he knew that his sail was finished. The first sound was the sound of the chain bullet tearing the canvas. The second sound was the sound of the chain bullet tearing the support rod in the sail. The third sound was the sound of the chain bullet tearing the sail and completely lifting out of the sail. Lao Qi, who was so familiar with the chain bullet that he could not be familiar with it, could only squat in pain in the corner. He used to abuse others with chain bullets, but now he finally tasted the taste of others using chain bullets to abuse himself.
Sure enough, Lao Qi quickly received a report from his subordinates that a long cut had been torn apart, and half of the sails were hanging obliquely, shaking. Because the tearing cut was too long, it was impossible to repair in the short term. The only thing that could be done was to replace the spare sail. But in that case, the mobility of the lucky ship would be seriously affected.
"Change the sail!"
Lao Qi could only give helpless orders.
Chapter completed!
