Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 157 Chapter 157
"But this ship did open the gun door." But the other young sailor still didn't quite believe the old sailor's explanation.

The old sailor was also very puzzled. Seeing the warship in the distance completely showing his side, he said with some uncertainty: "Maybe they are newbies, and they are also trying to scare each other on purpose."

"I think so too..." Hearing what he said, the adjutant who came over also nodded in agreement.

"Boom!" As a result, just as he nodded, the elf warship suddenly burst into flames.

"Damn it!" Because the distance was very close, the sudden sound of the cannon startled everyone.

The sound of the cannon was so sudden that all the sailors who heard the sound of the cannon shrank their necks subconsciously.

Someone else fell down on the deck and complained loudly in embarrassment: "I'm fucking! They fired! They really fired!"

The captain held the steering wheel with both hands, stared wide-eyed, looked at the gunpowder smoke gradually dissipating on the side of the battleship, and muttered subconsciously: "What are they doing!"

"Boom!" Just as he muttered, another cannon fired, spewing out a burst of flames, and thick smoke rolled over the waves.

This is not a joke, but it is really firing.It's not a warning, it's not a threat, it's a direct war!
Without even confirming his identity, he just opened fire!At this moment, the captain of the merchant ship felt that the other party should be a group of lunatics.

On the deck, after seeing the water column around the pirate ship, he shouted excitedly: "They are firing at the pirates!"

His shout attracted the attention of several people, and then they saw the second shell fly past and landed on the water next to the pirate ship.

Another jet of water was thrown into the sky by the shell, and it seemed to be a little closer to the pirate ship.

The sailors who saw this scene immediately began to exclaim: "My God! They really opened fire on the pirate's ship again!"

"And the accuracy is really good..." The old sailor had seen such naval battles, and he knew that to have such an accuracy, the navy's gunners must be very elite.

What he didn't know was that experimental bombardment correction equipment was actually installed on the battleship of the Datang Group. Although it was rough, it was several times more accurate than the symbolic aiming with the muzzle.

Although these cannons cannot adjust the muzzle, although these cannons are still front-loading guns, the hull can be adjusted with the help of aiming equipment to achieve simple aiming, which can still improve the shooting accuracy of the artillery.

What's more, the distance between the battleship and the pirate ship is actually not that far. It seems that there is a distance, but it is actually only about 500 meters.

If this distance is aimed entirely by eyesight, it is indeed the limit of firing, but if it is aimed by equipment, it is simply... a bit too close.

The merchant sailors, who knew nothing about all this, also began to pay attention to the pirate ship in the distance at this time.

I only heard a sailor exclaim excitedly looking at the water column: "The water column is near the pirate ship, they can do it!"

"Boom!" Another cannon spewed out flames, and a jet of water suddenly spewed out from the sea next to the pirate ship.

The jet of water was about a few meters away from the pirate ship, and even the splash of water hit the side of the pirate ship.

Seeing this scene, one of the sailors of the merchant ship was stunned and shouted: "I am X! I almost hit it!"

Just after the cannonball almost succeeded, the pirate ship seemed to start to get scared, and it immediately started to turn, as if trying to escape.

This run meant that it gave up its plan to attack the merchant ship, and also expressed its respect for the warship—if it was in the far sea, under normal circumstances, after such a show of weakness, the warship would not pursue too much.

Seeing the pirates start to turn, the sailors on the merchant ship cheered enthusiastically: "The pirate's ship is turning!"

"They ran away! Hahahaha! They ran away!" Some sailors waved their hats, laughed excitedly, shouted, and celebrated.

Some sailors even knelt on the deck, covering their faces and weeping with joy: "Long live! The pirates are gone!"

"Hahahaha! Captain! That's great! We're saved!" The adjutant also ran to the captain's side, with tears in his eyes.

"Long live the elves!" The captain was also excited at this moment. Of course he didn't know that the opposite was a human battleship, so he shouted the wrong slogan loudly.

Hearing the captain's shout, the other crew members also shouted: "Hahaha! The elf is doing well!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" Just as he shouted excitedly, two more shells were fired by the warship and flew towards the pirate ship in the distance.

This time, one of the shells landed on the sea not far from the pirate ship, and the other shell was so lucky that it was actually blinded by the naval gunners of the Datang Security Force!

Accompanied by the sound of the cannon, after a brief silence, sawdust suddenly flew across the side of the pirate ship, a whole piece of wood on the side of the side was shattered, and even a section of the railing on the side of the ship flew into the sea .

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only about 400 meters, and it only took a few shells to hit the enemy ship at this distance. No matter from which point of view, the soldiers on this naval battleship can be regarded as a powerful army in the world up.

So a sailor widened his eyes in shock: "Hey! It's a hit!"

On the warship of the Datang Group, the watchman on the mast put down his binoculars and shouted at the people under his feet: "A shell hit! The enemy ship's side is damaged, level three damage!"

The adjutant also put down the binoculars and reported to Bernard: "The enemy ship is turning!"

"Accelerate! Get closer! Starboard!" Bernard had no habit of letting the pirates go. After all, his battleship was almost as fast as any ship in terms of speed.

After all, this is a battleship, which emphasizes speed very much, and after Tang Mo got the battleship, he also dismantled one-third of the artillery on the battleship!
Now it can be said that it is driving in an empty cabin state, and the speed is naturally very fast.And because it is close to Bunas Port, it is not even fully loaded with fresh water and food, and its natural speed is surprisingly fast.

The helmsman repeated Bernard's order loudly, and quickly turned the steering wheel: "Right rudder!"

"Adjust the sail!" The adjutant reminded loudly.

"Adjust the sails!" Another officer on the front deck immediately repeated the order loudly, and the sailors immediately got busy.

The officer next to the observation equipment straightened up and shouted excitedly: "Remaining artillery! Salvo!"

"Salvo!" Almost all the gunners on the gun positions shouted excitedly.

"Boom!" This time, almost at the same time, the remaining four cannons on the side of the battleship spewed out dazzling fire and white smoke.

Three jets of water erupted next to the pirate ship in the distance, and almost at the same time, there was another hole hit by the shell next to the damaged side board.

Sawdust was flying, and some pirates could even be seen falling into the damaged hull in a bloody mess after being blown away by the shells.

The observer on the mast immediately shouted excitedly: "Three bombs deviated! One bomb hit the target! The enemy ship was damaged! It is continuing to turn!"

"Close to the target!" Bernard licked his lips and continued to order.

"Close to the target!" The adjutant said sideways, his voice echoing among the busy sailors who were loading the cannon.

"Boom!" There was also the sound of cannons on the pirate ship, and the other party seemed to know that if he didn't fight back and just ran away, he might really fall here, so he simply started to fight back, and broke out with the ferocity of a cornered beast.

However, the authenticity of this shot was a bit too outrageous, because the pirate ship had just turned sharply, so this shot was not aimed at anything, and the shell unexpectedly fell on the sea 100 meters away from Datang's warship.

Compared with the precise artillery technique of Datang's security forces, the pirate's artillery was like a joke.

Bernard looked away from the jet of water, suppressed a smile, and continued to direct: "Closer! Get ready to shoot!"

"The No. 3 artillery is loaded! The No. 9 gun is loaded!" On the deck, one after another, the gunners stood at attention and reported loudly that their gun positions had been re-ready for firing.

"The No. 1 artillery is loaded!" With the report of the gunner of the last gun position, the voice on the deck became much quieter.

"Aim!" Bernard ordered.

"Left rudder!" Putting his eyes on the observation equipment, the officer in charge of aiming ordered loudly.He had no way to adjust the muzzle, so he had to temporarily override his authority to adjust the course.

"Adjust the left rudder!" Bernard immediately ordered loudly.

Following his order, the warship began to adjust its course.

"Three, two, one! Fire!" Soon, the angle was found, and the officer in charge of aiming shouted at the top of his throat.

"Boom!" A row of 8 guns shot out flames almost at the same time, and a billowing thick smoke almost covered the side of the entire battleship.

Along with the sound of the cannons, the sailors on the deck of the nearby merchant ship were stunned to see that the pirate ship that was turning was hit by at least three shells at the same time!

As if pinched by an invisible big hand, the hull of the pirate ship shattered in an instant, and countless sawdust flew everywhere.

These shells shattered a part of the supporting structure of the hull, and it could be clearly seen that a mast on the pirate ship began to lean forward slightly because of the huge force of the sail.But it hasn't fallen down yet, it's just tilted, looking a little embarrassed.

In the absence of high-explosive bombs, even though continuous shooting hits, it is actually impossible to sink a sailing warship immediately.

But just looking at the appearance, you know that the gangsters on the pirate ship just now are definitely not having a good time...
