Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 163

The bone-eating shark is notorious but can live well. Naturally, it is not easy to provoke. I was already angry. Seeing that the other party dared to lean over to meet the board, I suddenly regained my energy. It is also loaded, and it is waiting to give the other party a good look.

From this point of view, the name of the Bone Eater Shark is not for nothing.

However, Flying Fish did not lack courage. Even though the ship of Bone Eater Shark was bigger than Flying Fish, it still approached without hesitation with a lot of artillery of various types to ensure its firepower.

"It seems that we have been underestimated." The captain of the bone-eating shark said with a sneer.

"Little ones, aim the artillery at those softies, let's blow these cowards!"

Following the shout of the captain of the bone-eating shark, the pirates of the bone-eating shark screamed excitedly, and without hesitation picked up the red-hot iron stick and smashed it into the gun hole.

The gunpowder in the barrel was ignited, and the solid shells were pushed out by the expanding hot gas, and fell with huge kinetic energy across an arc, flying the fragments hit by the side of the flying fish.

However, Owen asked people to pile up sandbags in front of the gun positions on the ship, which blocked a lot of debris, and the ashigaru who was in charge of firing the guns was even more fearless. The cannon was fired only when it was close.

In fact, the people of the Bone Shark are already a little panicked now, because artillery battles at sea are just like the musket tactics of queuing up to shoot. The trigger is the real elite.

Their bombardment just now was quite powerful, but half of the shells missed, half of them landed in insignificant places, and only two or three rounds actually caused damage.

If it was an ordinary opponent, after a round of shelling, I am afraid that they would have panicked. They took the opportunity to load the shells, and waited for the distance to be closer before launching another shelling, which would be an advantage.

The problem was that the opponents didn't panic, and resisted the urge to fire to close the distance. Now it was their turn to panic.

"Fire!" Watanabe roared, and Ashgaru, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately ignited the cannon. After the sound of the cannon, they immediately took out the fired sub-guns and loaded new sub-guns into them.

Owen looked down on the original artillery, which was not accurate and had a slow rate of fire, so it was worthless, so he exchanged for a batch of cannons.

The sub-cannon is divided into the main cannon and the sub-cannon. The sub-cannon can be removed or loaded into the slot of the main cannon. It is replaced immediately after firing. Therefore, the rate of fire is much higher than that of ordinary artillery, but it requires more manpower to load. sub gun.

Right now, it's almost like one side using a bird gun and the other using a single-handed weapon. Although they are both ancient weapons, the latter is more advanced and has a faster rate of fire.

Of course, the mother-child artillery also has flaws, that is, the range and power are not as good as ordinary artillery. The problem is that most of the current naval battles are fought with bayonets to decide the outcome. These shortcomings are not shortcomings at all. Whoever has the most shells wins.

Sure enough, a round of rapid shelling, even if there were only five cannons on one side, stunned the opponent, and he didn't realize that the distance between the two sides was close enough.

Tie Cannon Ashigaru stood upright on the side of the ship, firing lead bullets uniformly, hitting the Bone Eater pirates standing on the deck so hard that they couldn't lift their heads, but the Bone Eater pirates were indeed not ashamed of their reputation, even so There are still people who stand up and fight back, and the lead bullets come and go, and it is almost impossible for those who are hit to continue fighting.

Ordinary people are not barbarians from the Northland. The more severely injured, the more violent. In fact, the broken lead bullets in the human body not only bring pain, but also continuous blood loss. As for the subsequent lead poisoning, it is necessary to survive the battlefield before considerations.

"Use the flying hook, lean in immediately!" Captain Bonechewing Shark yelled frantically, if they continued to fight like this, they would lose, so they had to give full play to their advantages.

Some skilled pirates risked being hit by lead bullets, stood up and swung the hook, and immediately threw it out when the speed increased, hooked it on the opposite ship, and then groups of bone-eating shark pirates couldn't wait to jump over , Trying to win the victory with a side-to-side battle, they are still very confident about this. After all, they can see that the opponent is cannon fodder trained by the descendants of the savages.

"The time has come to serve the lord, and you all will fight to the death with me!" Watanabe, who was injured on his forehead at some point, did not care about the injury on his body, pulled out his samurai sword, and without hesitation rushed forward with his sword ashigaru for a brutal hand-to-hand fight .

The Bone Shark's people are indeed a group of lunatics, even after being hit one after another, they are still bloodthirsty, crazily waving the machetes that pirates usually use to cause bloody killings.

If it is an ordinary opponent, I am afraid that the mind will be broken by the morale, but the soldiers of the system can be killed, they can be confused by magic, but they will not collapse. As long as the order is given, it will be carried out until death.

So even the iron cannon ashigaru didn't take a step back when facing the pirate's scimitar. After Watanabe put it on top, he loaded the ammunition carefully and shot the opponent's head close to the face.

Even if the northern barbarians caught a lead bullet in their heads at close range, they would not be able to get up and fight again, not to mention the pirates of the bone-eating sharks, the sky caps flew away, and the sprayed brains smelled like gunpowder smoke.

Such a fierce battle made Abigail, who was watching the battle from a distance, look very solemn, and even the soldiers behind her, who were originally full of pride, put away their haughty expressions.

The soldiers of Queen's Island are proud of dying in battle, but they are still inferior to the bone-eating sharks and the descendants of wildlings they regard as cannon fodder in terms of fighting fanaticism.

Although the soldiers of Queen's Island have an advantage in combat skills, on the chaotic and narrow ship, hard work is the main reason for victory. Once the morale is taken away, defeat is only a matter of time, so even if they don't want to, they have to admit each other's combat power Not to be underestimated.

"Fortunately, they were hired. Fortunately, they are elite enough." Abigail used two lucky words in succession, showing the shock in her heart.

But the time has come, another ship of Bone Eater Shark is preparing to return for help, they must seize the time to take advantage of the chaos and board the ship to rescue the hostages, and they must do so quickly. Once the situation is unfavorable, Bone Eater Shark will use the hostages to make a fuss. So he immediately took people into the boat and rowed desperately.

At this time, Owen, who was standing by the rudder of the ship, was enjoying the naval battle in front of him, and at the same time, he had the idea of ​​forming a navy on the Liangjie River after returning.

Moreover, muskets and artillery are not as useless as he imagined, at least they are quite useful in naval battles, more useful than bows and arrows.

It's a pity that there are too many strong people in the main world, and there are great restrictions on technology. Even if he wholeheartedly climbs the technology tree, steam power will be exhausted, and it is basically difficult to break through to the level of World War II.
