The World of Martial Arts

79 Sea Battle
There was a loud bang, and both sides fired chain bombs.

The opposing pirate ship was on the right side, opposite to Xu Zhengping's side. They had a total of twenty cannons, but they could only place ten on one side, while Xu Zhengping's side concentrated twelve cannons on one side.

Although the overall number of artillery is not as good as that of the opponent, the exchange of fire on one side takes advantage of the firepower.

A volley of chain bullets hit Xu Zhengping's big ship, and one mast was knocked to the point of collapse, but was immediately pulled back by the sailors climbing on the other masts with ropes, and stabilized again.

Xu Zhengping's twelve cannons fired even more fiercely. Ten of them missed and two of them hit.

There was also a pirate ship located on the left side of Xu Zhengping's ship, which also fired its cannons. Except for the one that deviated, all of them hit the merchant ship, destroying it even more miserably, but it couldn't hurt Xu Zhengping's ship at all.

Captain Jiang saw that he was sailing with the ocean current and against the wind, so he immediately ordered the sails to be lowered. The speed of the ship was actually faster by simply borrowing from the ocean.

Immediately seized a good position again, but the pirate ship was even closer.

The two sides exchanged shotguns, sweeping each other's decks.

Xu Zhengping heard screams from the deck, it must be that some of the sailors who controlled the sail had died.

Immediately, the bosun came to the cabin and called several people to go up.

The situation on the pirate ship was not much better, and many people were also killed by shotguns.

The pirate ship on the left side of Xu Zhengping's ship saw that all the artillery fire could only fall on the merchant ship, and could not hurt Xu Zhengping and the others at all, so they began to turn towards Xu Zhengping's stern.

The three ships circled the sea like this and engaged in a desperate battle. Xu Zhengping was stuffy in the cabin, and his martial arts had no room to display in this kind of situation.

Fortunately, the development of firearms in this era is relatively poor, and each round of salvo takes a very long time. During this interval, the ships of the three parties have approached each other.

The gang battle is the final decision of both the enemy and the enemy, and they all believe that they will have a great advantage in such a battle.

The pirates believed that they were numerous and mighty, but Xu Zhengping and the others believed more in their martial arts.

At the end of the last round of solid artillery fire, a hole was pierced in one side of Xu Zhengping's ship, and the sailors nearby suffered from bloody bad luck and fell to the ground.

The flying sawdust was also very lethal. Fortunately, everyone was wearing paper armor, which was basically able to protect them. Only a few two or three people were pierced in the face by sawdust, fell to the ground struggling and crying, and could not die for a while.

Xu Zhengping was also wearing paper armor at this time, he would not refuse more effective equipment just because of his martial arts strength, he was a pragmatist, he even forced Lei Zong and others to wear paper armor just now.

Only Lianxing resolutely refused to wear it, thinking that the armor would affect her flexibility.

But facing the exploding sawdust, she opened her eyes wide and had nowhere to dodge. Suddenly a figure threw her to the ground, and the sawdust flying like a hidden weapon pierced the person and protected Lian Xing's whole body.

Xu Zhengping got up and cursed: "Idiot! This is not a fight on land, this is a sea battle! What are you talking about about the demeanor of a martial arts master? Why do you have such a brain?"

Lian Xing, who was wearing a copper mask, was still in shock. Looking at the dense sawdust on the back of Xu Zhengping's paper armor, thinking that if these sawdust were stuck on her body... her face turned pale.

While she lowered her head in shame, she actually felt a little grateful, and quietly looked at Xu Zhengping, only to see that he was staring at the entrance of the cabin, his muscles tensed.

At this time, there was a violent collision sound!
The three ships collided with each other, and there was a violent jolt, many people fell to the ground, but got up indifferently.

The deck opened, and the boatswain rushed down again. He was wearing paper armor, and the white paper armor was soaked red with blood. He was obviously injured, and he was trying to regain his energy.

"Jump gang battle, brothers come to fight!"

Everyone jumped up and rushed to the deck from different exits.

Xu Zhengping rushed to the deck, and saw that the right side of the hull and the stern were hooked and locked, and pirates built wide and thick wooden bridges.

The head of the wooden plank bridge is equipped with a hook, once it is put on, it can be firmly hooked to the side of the ship, which is extremely stable.

He watched strangely shaped pirates rushing forward screaming excitedly, most of them were holding Japanese swords, and some of them stayed on the deck and aimed at this side with firecrackers, obviously they were partners covering boarding.

There was no shortage of firecrackers on Xu Zhengping's side. At this time, a large number of sailors were holding two weapons, a knife and a firecracker.

The first people on the deck lined up and fired at the pirates who boarded the ship with firecrackers.

There were crackling noises, and from time to time some pirates fell into the sea, becoming a carnival feast for sharks.

At the same time, the opposite side also opened fire, but unless the distance was close enough, if the lead hit the paper armor a little further away, the power would be greatly weakened, only knocking people down, as long as they endured the pain and stood up, they could continue to fight.

What's more, the sea ship was wobbly, and the hit rate of the firecrackers was terribly low. After the two sides almost fought each other for a round, it was time for the white sword to see red.

The pirates, like sharks smelling blood on the bottom of the sea, rushed over bravely and fought with all the sailors.

All of a sudden, life and death battles broke out everywhere on the deck, the wheelhouse, and the mast.

Sailors are the same as pirates, they basically don’t have a battle formation, each finds someone to fight, whoever is fierce enough, whoever stands firm on his feet, and whoever swings his knife decisively can kill the opponent!
It's just that the sailors have armor to protect themselves, and even if their skills are slightly inferior, it will be a big advantage.

The Japanese sword used by the pirates is impossible to cut through this kind of paper armor, and the sailor will slash the opponent with a grinning smile when the opponent is stunned. all over the floor.

Of course, if you wear this kind of armor, once you fall into the water, you will sink faster than those without armor. However, in such a melee, falling into the water is no different from death, after all, there are sharks below.

Xu Zhengping's [-] elite subordinates had been learning how to fight at sea with the sailors for dozens of days. At this time, combined with the experience of fighting in formation on land, they would never fight alone, at least a group of three would cover each other and advance.

Because sea ships are extremely unstable, people often fall to the ground with the waves, or need to hold on to other things to keep them stable. Usually, only one hand can be free to fight, so long pole weapons cannot be used at all.

Therefore, among the three, only one with the highest martial arts uses a two-handed long knife as the main attacker, and the other two use a single-handed sword to guard, a group of three, a team of three, just like a wall, pushing forward like a wall, with fewer enemies and more enemies. It can also take advantage of it.

Xu Zhengping and other masters are all outstanding in lightness kung fu, and their chassis is solid, even though the sea battle is bumpy, they can still maintain stability.

Naturally, traveling freely and horizontally on the sea ship is like entering a land of no one, killing a lot of enemies.

Among them, Lian Xing seemed to be extremely ruthless in order to make up for the previous mistakes in the cabin. Wherever the sword passed, he was killed by one blow.

Although the pirates saw her as a woman, none of them dared to fight her.

The captains of the two pirate ships were terrified when they saw that their opponents were so capable of fighting, and there were still masters criss-crossing them, and immediately regretted such a gang fight.

It is difficult for martial arts masters to show their strength at sea, because they can use long-range artillery attacks to make them unable to do anything, but the jumping gang battle gives the masters this opportunity.

One of the one-eyed pirate leaders folded his arms, watching the anxious battle with a gloomy face.

A severely injured pirate came over with one hand cut off and shouted: "Boss, don't fight like this! These bastards are wearing armor!"

They don't have to think about defensive posture at all. Even if the brothers have superb sword skills, they can't cut through each other at all!They can only be killed by hitting them with firecrackers at close range, but the firecrackers are too slow! "

The one-eyed pirate leader said: "We have a lot of people, a few of us will cost him one, as long as he falls to the ground, knocks off the weapon, and finds a way to kick into the sea, we can still win, but those martial arts masters are even more troublesome!"

The pirates looked at the crowd as if they were unparalleled masters. Under the raging weapons, the morale of many pirates has gradually declined, and they will collapse if they continue to fight.

The one-eyed pirate looked at the group of vagrants from the Wa Kingdom, and shouted: "Fujiki Okatasai! Didn't you say that you have been passed down from Liusheng Xinyinliu, and you are a famous warrior from the Wa Kingdom!

Now it's time for you and your friends to play swordsmanship!Hold back those masters of the Ming Kingdom. In this situation, the two sides are entangled with each other. There is no chance of escape. Either the enemy will die or I will die! "
