Great Song Pirate

Chapter 56
The ships on both sides immediately mobilized. Although Pu Xunjian had a good idea, it was really not easy to implement. Once these sailboats powered by sails entered the channel, it would be difficult to turn around, so these boats that entered the channel began to panic. Turn around, and the channel is relatively narrow, how can it be so easy to exit, so the channel immediately became a mess.

Seeing that the Dulong Island fleet was approaching, in order to buy time for his ships to withdraw from the waterway, Pu Yinjian ordered: "The whole ship is ready to meet the enemy, the archers are ready, and the trebuchets are ready to launch!" Although he also I understand that the trebuchet is not very useful now, but I still gave the order to launch the trebuchet with illusions.

After much effort, the catapult on the bow of Pu Yinjian's boat finally spoke. They used the same fire oil tanks as Dulong Island to attack the enemy, but their fire oil tanks required It's just much bigger than the kerosene tank used by Dulong Island Ballista.

Looking at the huge kerosene tank falling from the sky, the Dulong Island fleet dispersed, and finally the kerosene tank landed in the sea far away from the Zhenyuan Ship and broke into pieces. Although the kerosene overflowed, it was still on fire. But the lead wire was immediately extinguished by the sea water, leaving only a large oil stain on the sea, and everyone on the Dulong Island fleet immediately let out a burst of mocking laughter.

The principle of the trebuchet seems to be the same as that of the mortar or the mountain cannon, which is a weapon for curved fire. In contrast, the ballista on Dulong Island is like a modern cannon or tank gun, which is mainly used for direct fire. The hit rate of the moving target can be imagined, it is not worth mentioning, if anyone's ship is really hit by this catapult, then the first is that the Bodhisattva blessed the surnamed Pu, and the second is that the ship is really It's too bad luck!It seems that neither of these two situations happened, Xu Yi was still lamenting the idea of ​​the genius on Huangyu Island.

The ships on Dulong Island have been ordered not to use kerosene bombs, but to use stone bombs or chain bombs invented by Xu Yi to attack the enemy. After the ships dispersed, they formed an outflanking formation and headed towards Pu Xunjian's ship. go around.

After entering the firing range of the ballista, each ship was ordered again to kill a large number of deck personnel and attack the opponent's mast and sail, so the ballista players of each ship raised their crossbow arms and aimed at the superstructure of the opponent's ship and began to launch at will. All of a sudden, stone bullets landed on the deck of Pu Xunjian's ship like hailstones, causing the pirates of Huangyu Island who were standing on the deck to fight with their heads in their arms, screaming and screaming, and the superstructure was even smashed to pieces. Flying, from time to time, the bodies of the personnel who were shot flew out of the ship's side and fell into the sea. It was the first time that Pu Yinjian, who was standing on the highest level of the stern, truly experienced the power of the opponent's ballista, watching the chaos He was a little furious, but there was nothing he could do about it. The other party did not enter the range of their bows and arrows at all, but kept throwing stones at them from a distance. With no way to fight back, Park Yinjian roared and tried to turn the bow of the ship to ram the opponent's ship with the advantage of their size, but the opponent's ship was small and lightly loaded, so they were much more flexible in dodging than they were, and they were loaded with trebuchets and counterweights. After the rocks were dropped, the weak maneuverability of the ship became extremely clumsy. Trying to sink the ship on Dulong Island was like a dream come true.

At this time, a stone bullet hit the railing in front of Pu Yinjian, and the huge force caused the pine railings he knew to break into several sections and fell down. An unlucky guy beside him was hit by the remaining force of the stone bullet and flew straight Going out, I didn't even breathe when I hit the pillar behind me and fell down.

One of Pu Yinjian's personal guards jumped to Pu Yinjian's side and knelt down and shouted in Korean: "Master General, this place is too dangerous, you'd better get out of the cabin to avoid it!"

Pu Yinjian smiled wryly: "Is it safe to go down and hide? The brothers are still desperately trying to hide, but I hide below. Is this in line with our principle of doing things? Don't say it again, order the bilge, and let the pulp hit!"

After looking at Pu Yinjian, the guard nodded vigorously, turned around and rushed into the cabin.

Jin Laohu had already noticed the movement of the Huangyu Island ships in the channel, and knew that they wanted to return to aid their master ship, so he ordered Qian Laoben's Chaoyong to rush to the mouth of the channel to intercept those ships returning to aid , there is going to be a good show of closing the door and beating dogs. After Chaoyong received the order, Qian Laoben immediately directed his men to adjust the course and sail towards the mouth of the channel rapidly. Several kerosene bombs were fired head-on, hitting The bow of the fast boat that was the first to sail towards the mouth of the channel, the bow of the fast boat from Huangyu Island immediately fell into a sea of ​​flames, and even its front sails also ignited a fire, like a huge torch The fire started to burn, and the sailors on the ship yelled for water to try to put out the fire.

The remaining four Dulong islands continued to surround the big ship surnamed Pu and fired stone bombs. At the same time, they used Xu Yi's newly built chain bombs to aim at the mast of the big ship and started a fierce attack. The chain bombs were actually two smaller ones. The middle of the stones is connected by a chain. When two stones fly over the mast or the sail, the iron chain in the middle will wrap around the mast or cut the sail, which increases the hit rate. Xu Yi learned from books and movies before. What he got, but at that time this kind of chain bomb was a kind of shell used on artillery, and he borrowed it. When this kind of chain bomb was fired, it really worked. The rootless mast on the ship named Pu After two of them were hit by multiple chain bombs in a row, they finally couldn't bear it and collapsed suddenly. The mast and the sails on it also knocked down many pirates from Huangyu Island who were running on the boat. The screams of the people trapped below made those who heard them shudder, and the other two sails were also cut off by the chain bullets, making a loud roar, and the sails fell straight to the bottom. The big ship, which was already moving slowly, immediately stopped like a dead fish.

The boat on Dulong Island roared with applause. Once such a sailboat loses its sails, there is no need to move. All that remains is to wait for the fate of being slaughtered. Jin Huo rubbed his hands excitedly, and then ordered the other boats Immediately support Chaoyong who is in charge of blocking the mouth, and don't rush to deal with this surnamed Pu, so Baodao, Yangwei, and Shark immediately turned and rushed to the channel.

Just when Jin Huo and the others were happy, a new situation appeared on the big ship with only one sail left. A row of hatches were suddenly opened on both sides of the ship from the part close to the waterline. Two rows of huge oars were stretched out. After these oars were stretched out, they immediately hit the water and began to paddle vigorously. The big boat that was like a dead fish regained its power again, started to move, and used a kind of Turning at an incongruous speed, it rushed towards the Zhenyuan.

"Turn the sails! Left rudder! Avoid it!" After all, Tiger Jin had to be more experienced. When everyone, including Xu Yi, was still in shock, he roared immediately, and the sailors who reacted immediately acted Get up, adjust the sail and rudder with all your strength, the Zhenyuan quickly started to turn to the left, narrowly dodged the Pu Yinjian's ship that was rushing towards like a mad tiger, the two ships almost passed each other, let Everyone on the Zhenyuan ship couldn't help wiping off a cold sweat, the other ship was big, if they collided, then the Zhenyuan ship would be over!
"The trapped beast is still fighting! Come and distance yourself and hit me hard!" Pu Yinjian's move completely aroused Xu Yi's anger.
