Chapter 160 Guxin's Horror

Chapter 160 Gu Xin’s Horror

Standing on the land, but looking at the deep-sea battlefield five hundred meters away, the comrades are braving the strong wind and heavy rain at sea, trying to board the ship to meet the enemy. This strange sense of fragmentation makes the spectators feel a sense of absurdity.

feelings.

What's even more amazing is that the audience found that their perspective began to change.

They were lifted up by the clouds and mist, rising lightly. When they reached the high point of the sea that appeared out of thin air, they could watch everything happening in the sky and sea from the best "God's perspective".

"Did... Gusina get out of here on purpose?" Captain Lonnie gritted his teeth.

The sea area under his eyes, if his eyes did not deceive him, was probably a circular sea area with a diameter of 8 kilometers.

The sea area cannot be a standard circle. If it is a battlefield deliberately set up in the other world, then that is another story.

For both sides on the battlefield, the boundary of this sea is a strange high wall made of white mist, blocking their way out like a cliff.

The warriors of the Knights could not see their comrades looking down from high in the sky. The only thing they knew was that they had to kill the enemies in front of them before they could get out alive.

They struggled, roared, and climbed onto the net ropes hung on the sides of the three wooden sailing warships in embarrassment.

Their movements cannot be said to be very clumsy, nor can they be said to be "nimble".

From a God's perspective, it is obvious that when the knights' soldiers climbed the grid, all the enemies in the three ships opposite had already boarded the ships and began to enter their posts.

"We are still at a big disadvantage." Judge Abner sadly stated this fact.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the opposite side is a group of well-trained pirates. Although they are far inferior to the knights in terms of discipline, their familiarity with the sea and the ships give them an advantage in this maritime duel.

Take advantage.

Three pirate ships began to operate.

The pirate boatswain shouted to the peons to turn the winch and pull up the anchor in the sea. Each pirate nimbly climbed onto the ship's mast and began to untie the rope and lower the sail.

It is completely conceivable that when the sailing warships start to move, they will seize the classic upwind T position and launch a devastating offensive against the three Knights ships in the leeward direction.

On the other hand, on the side of the Knights, even though there is a Rennes war priest stationed on the flagship, there are also experienced first mates, second mates, boatswain and other storm believers who are shouting and directing the knights and retinues to work.

It's a pity that after these strong men on land were deprived of their extraordinary power, they came to these old-fashioned sailing ships that have been almost completely eliminated by various countries, and most of them only exist in museums. They are all kinds of unsuitable.

If starting the ship can be done carelessly, the artillery battle that follows is the real fatal task.

Not to mention that all artillery these days are breech-loaded guns, the shells have already been fuses, warhead charges, shells, propulsion charges, primers and other structures are all integrated. The shells are loaded into the breech, the gun door is closed, and the

Just pull the rope and fire the gun, and that's it.

The knight's retinue could not imagine how complicated it was to load gunpowder and clean the barrel of the old muzzle-loading cannon.

You know, before it was confirmed that it was a naval battle, the Sons of the Storm could only vaguely inform them of the precautions for the artillery battle. No one knew at what time the other side would set the [war], after all, the artillery control technology in different eras was really very different.

In such a short time, not much can be told.

There are some things that even the second officer doesn't know about. Only the very experienced maritime encyclopedia--Master Renzhanzhai knows them all.

Anyway, the passivity of the Knights is visible to the naked eye.

There is no absolutely fair duel in the world.

Not to mention that this is an otherworldly arena set up by a powerful evil sect.

Guxin's whole body was wrapped in scarlet armor. He was above the clouds, sitting on a metal chair made of different weapons. He looked down at the knights below who were dying in despair like ants.

struggle.

He enjoyed this kind of vision very much, which gave him the illusion that he had become the God of War.

The sound of war like a roaring mountain and a tsunami reached his spiritual sea through his special ability to listen to [War]. Every roar of the Son of the Storm and every stubborn response from the Knight made Guxin feel very comfortable.

In Gu Xing's ears, the enemy's voice reminded him of the prisoners lying on the ground begging for mercy after the war. Just thinking about it made him extremely excited.

One step first, every step first.

The leading situation of the pirates cannot be reversed by human power.

Over there, the pirate leader standing at the rudder raised his scimitar arrogantly and laughed: "Young men! Move quickly! I will smash their broken ship, and then let the knights put back their armor and go to the sea.

Go swimming."

"good--"

As soon as his men finished fulfilling their promise, the gun doors on the distant Knights' flagship suddenly opened, attracting the attention of the pirate captain.

The flagship of the Knights, in Mark's opinion, looks very much like a Spanish galleon on Earth, and the muzzle-loading cannon used on it is also of Earth's 16th century standard.

Mark knew it, and so did the pirate captain.

"Hahahaha! Are those knights idiots? Do you want to fire from this distance?"

When the pirates learned from the captain's mouth that the other side was opening the gun door, the pirates also sneered: "Hahahaha!"

Why laugh?

Without it!

Too far!

Because of the "fairness" of the world, the sailboats and artillery parameters used by both sides are the same.

The effective range of the ship's cannon is only 1,500 meters, and the theoretical range is 6,000 meters.

This theoretical range can be ignored, because this is an old-fashioned cannon that uses iron ball bullets. Regardless of the fact that the manufacturing process of the iron ball bullets is not up to standard, resulting in irregular shapes of the iron balls, just the barrel without rifling, God knows after the gun is ejected from the chamber

Where will it fly to?

Moreover, iron ball projectiles that rely purely on kinetic energy to produce destructive power have no power at all once they fly far.

The distance that truly determines victory or defeat is usually within one kilometer.

So when they were 6 kilometers away from each other and saw the other side preparing to fire, the pirate captain really felt like he was laughing his belly out.

"Hahaha!" His laughter never stopped.

At this moment, the knight's ship on the other side of the telescope really fired.

First, I saw wisps of green smoke rising from the gun port, and after a while, I heard the harsh sound of breaking wind.

"咻咻咻——"

The pirate captain was no stranger to the sound of cannons. When modern artillery was not available, he used this antique-level artillery to rob small merchant ships.

Just listening, the captain felt something was wrong.

Isn't the sound of the cannon too close?

When the ear-piercing screams reached their peak, a black shadow that was as fast as a phantom appeared in the ship's view.

The black shadow flashed away.

The next moment, a heartbreaking sound came from above the head.

"Crack!"

The captain and the pirates suddenly looked up and saw in horror that a black chain was wrapped around the main mast.

Anyone with good dynamic vision will find that the thing looks like a barbell: there are huge iron balls at both ends, connected by a thick black iron chain in the middle.

After wrapping around the main mast, under the action of inertia, the two iron balls continued to fly forward, but the iron chain suddenly grabbed the thick wooden mast.

In less than a breath, the iron chain was pulled to the end, and the two iron balls of equal weight were pulled by the iron chain. They lost the power to rush forward and immediately began to spin left and right under the inertia.

The hinge shortens instantly!

When the iron ball began to spin, the main mast, which required two people to embrace it, 'slimmed down' at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's very funny, just like ladies putting on corsets, the mast lost a lot of weight on the spot.

The girdle is so tight that it can break a noble girl's ribs.

If the hinge is tightened, the mast will break on the spot as you can see.

"Damn it! It's a hinge bullet!"

"Crack!" The sound of the iron chain breaking the wooden pole was tantamount to the death knell in the pirates' ears.

"Broken! The main mast is broken!"

All of a sudden, the pirate ship's flagship was on fire.

The originally orderly pirates on the deck put down their work and fled one after another, in a panic.

Three ships of pirates watched in great horror as the main mast of the flagship broke and fell over.

If the mainmast simply broke off and fell into the sea, that might not be the worst situation. But the hinges were so accurate that they did not break the mast, but kept breaking.

The thick mainmast fell sideways onto the ship, causing the entire ship to tilt a full thirty degrees to the left.

"Counterweight! Change the counterweight! Move the weight to the right." Although the pirate captain was frightened, he still performed the duties of a captain.

His order was not untimely, but it could only stop the loss and could not change the current disadvantage.

The first mate roared: "Cut it off! Cut off the mainmast immediately! Stop lowering the sail!"

At this moment, even if the other two pirate ships were not affected, the pirates' hearts were still very cold.

The flagship is a well-deserved dreadnought.

There are a total of 72 artillery pieces on board.

As for the other two frigates, they only have 32 cannons in the sky, which is half the number.

The main mast of the flagship was taken out at the beginning. Even though there were still two masts, the speed was already half lost.

How to fight this?

An even more outrageous operation is coming from the Knights.

"Bang bang bang!" The artillery deck below also fired.

This time was not as unlucky as last time. 12 artillery fires were fired, and only one hit was achieved. However, it hit the bow of the pirate ship and broke a section of the guardrail. A pirate manipulating the cable was rubbed on the spot.

When it arrived, the whole person flew out.

cough!

Even if I get rubbed by this thing... I can't even find my mouth for artificial respiration.

The pirates' hearts suddenly fell into the valley.

Being hit again means that the Knights are not blind at all, but really accurate!

"How is this possible!?" Gu Xin above the clouds couldn't sit still. He stood up in shock: "How can there be high-level extraordinary objects of [War] in the Knights!?"

Not to mention Gusin, Lonnie was also frightened, and he and other big guys turned their attention to Mark.

Mark said cheerfully: "I got it when I killed the [Death] Knight."

Well, a very strong reason!

The knights of the Church of Light and Night would definitely disdain the use of extraordinary objects from the [Neutral Evil] camp, but Mark from the Neutral camp is not afraid of meat!
