When it comes to French crossbow shooting, the pirate ships are at an absolute disadvantage. The French crossbow heavy cannons in their hands either come from the countries west of the South China Sea, or are scraps that were scattered out of the Ming Dynasty without comment, and were repaired before being used again. This way
How to fight the inspection fleet with magic weapon?
What's more, in terms of ship comparison, they are at a huge disadvantage. Their numbers are far insufficient, and their ships are also much smaller. In the sea area where they can shoot at each other, there is a huge gap of 4 to 18 French crossbow heavy artillery with the inspection fleet.
Such an obvious gap caused Zhang Zheng's four ships to be beaten so hard that they could not even lift their heads. After more than half an hour of shooting, the decks of all four ships were blown apart, and the masts of two of them were blown apart.
After being interrupted, another ship was seriously injured. Two large holes were made at the waterline. Waves poured into the ship one after another. The ship was about to sink.
The pirates couldn't stand it anymore and kept coming to ask Zhang Zheng: "Sir, when will the leader of the alliance arrive?"
Zhang Zheng couldn't answer this question. Within the scope of the demonic hell sea, not only the sky is changing, but even flying talismans are difficult to send out. This is why Taoist Wutong chose to set up an ambush in this area. It is difficult for Taoists to receive
message and reinforcements arrived in time.
Zhang Zheng just tried twice to contact Taoist Wutong. As expected, he has not received any reply since the flying talisman was sent out.
Seeing that his men suffered heavy casualties, and if he continued like this, the whole army might be buried here. Zhang Zheng had no other choice but to order to move closer to the inspection fleet. Instead of being ravaged to death by French crossbows and heavy artillery, it was better to rely on
Go up there and fight to the death, at least you can see what the enemy looks like!
To this end, he gathered more than thirty experts who were good at close combat on his ship and gathered them on the side of the ship. In addition to his own almost perfect golden elixir, there was also the golden elixir named Tsuna, Zhou
The division chief, the chief chores officer, and the department leader are all Huangguan monks. With such equipment, the ratio of monks is quite high.
His intention was quickly discovered by his accomplices on the left and right sides. Everyone followed suit and moved towards the inspection fleet warship on the opposite side.
In such a desperate situation, the pirates actually fought bloody hard.
Zhang Zheng's ship quickly docked with the nearest ship of 500 yuan. The two sides were five or six feet away. Amidst the lightning and thunder, Zhang Zheng saw the other party's ship with all the military armor on board and the ready-to-go gang.
Soldiers, their pitch-black military armor exuded a cold and dark luster under the flash of lightning that was as bright as day.
Such armaments made Zhang Zheng feel his scalp numb. He instantly remembered the days when the capital was undergoing great changes, and lamented in his heart that the Taoist sect's armaments were really strong.
Behind the rows of soldiers gathered opposite, there were three monks from Chaotian Palace. These three people were very familiar with Zhang Zheng. They used to nod and greet each other in the Shangsan Palace. I didn't expect that they would be fighting for their lives here today.
At this point in the battle, there was no room for retreating. Zhang Zheng gritted his teeth to boost the morale of his men, and then waited for the next lightning to arrive.
Finally, five or six more lightning bolts flashed across the sky, and thunder rolled in. Taking advantage of the short "daylight", Zhang Zheng shouted loudly, jumped out of the air first, and rushed towards the enemy ship.
In the air, the other person had taken out a nine-pronged bright silver fork that he had used privately from his storage weapon, and stabbed the enemy at the side of the opposite ship.
A shield was erected on the opposite side, and the formation was strict. It was obvious at a glance that they were well-trained.
Nine bright silver prongs pierced a magic shield, and the entire shield wall lit up at the same time. The ten shields eliminated most of the force on Zhang Zheng's silver prong, and each of them had the remaining power, and Q took one-tenth of it on his own.
Withstood the blow.
Ten waist knives suddenly emerged from the gaps in the shield wall, slashing at Zhang Zheng from different angles.
Zhang Zheng used his busy schedule to throw his protective magical weapon towards the sea conch. The conch blocked all the slashing swords while it was spinning. Zhang Zheng failed to achieve success with his attack and jumped back to his own ship.
The boarding battle was about to break out, but Li Dayin could no longer command the fleet, and he was very anxious. The fleet could command its advance and retreat by raising flags and other methods, but it could not accurately control every ship. No one in the young inspection fleet had been to the demon hell.
In the sea, no one knew that the flying talisman here would actually lose its effectiveness, which made Li Dayin very frightened.
What worried Li Dayin was the advance fleet. He had been unable to contact Wang Shouyu for nearly two hours, and he didn't know what the situation was like on Wang Shouyu's side. He regretted that he shouldn't have divided his troops to do an outflanking and interception move, just in case Wang Shouyu
If they rush recklessly into the Demonic Hell Sea, the entire fifteen ships of the advance fleet will be in danger of being annihilated.
Li Dayin stared at the current battlefield uneasily, praying to end this pursuit quickly and bring the entire fleet back safely.
In the long-range shooting of warships, the inspection fleet has the advantage in terms of range and persistence. Once the distance is closed, the pirate ship has the upper hand in terms of the accuracy and firing speed of the French crossbow. In fact, when the distance is closed, the pirate ship has the upper hand.
After a long distance, the inspection fleet was not afraid either, because they had Fire Dance Dragons on board, and their jumping helper armor equipment was top-notch. But at this moment, in the strong wind and heavy rain, Fire Dance Dragons had no place to use, and they could only rely on water dragon cannon sprays.
The rapids coming out added to the chaos on the other side's ship.
The heavy rain was still pouring down, and the battle was still going on fiercely. Zhang Zheng's resistance was tenacious, but his disadvantage became more and more obvious, and everyone was about to lose their lives.
Just as he was about to achieve his full success, the sailor tied to the watchtower at the top of the mast suddenly pulled the cable wildly, pointed his finger to the northwest, and shouted loudly. The shouts were intermittent and faint, and were scattered by the strong wind and heavy rain.
Only a few words were passed down.
"Ship...be careful...report..."
Li Dayin's heart tightened, and he climbed up the mast to the watchtower. Looking northwest, he saw vague shadows that seemed to be many masts. At this time, a bolt of lightning struck down from an endless height in the sky, covering the entire area.
The sea was completely illuminated, and Li Dayin stared blankly ahead, his hair standing on end and his whole body feeling cold.
The endless ships that could not be seen formed a tight encirclement, surrounding the inspection fleet from left to right. The only retreat route behind the inspection fleet was the Demonic Hell Sea.
The masts of these seagoing ships were hung with all kinds of strange flags, with large crooked characters written on the bows, and some were daubed with horrific-looking patterns.
The ships, all pirates, were countless at a glance. They were two miles away at the moment, rising and falling in the big waves, rushing towards the inspection fleet.
Is this a trap?
When did they come to the north?
Why is there no news from Zhoushan?
what to do?
Is the inspection fleet going to be buried here today?
How to explain to Zhiran?
Can I still go back?
For a moment, Li Dayin had various thoughts, and his calves began to tremble.
