Arad's Sword

Chapter 151 Battle at Sea

"The Albatross is fighting?" Socia's eyes suddenly turned cold when she heard this.

Like the Southern Star, the Albatross is also a large sailing ship with a long history.Not only that, but its captain is also a woman.In this sea world, women are relatively disadvantaged, and it is not easy to be the captain of a boat. Naturally, there is a lot of support for each other.

The relationship between Socia and the captain of the Albatross can be regarded as a sister. Now that she is being attacked, how can she sit idly by with her personality?

The red-haired female captain gave the order immediately, and immediately turned the bow of the ship and approached the Albatross.

"Mr. Feiai, it seems that there will be a fierce battle soon, and please pay attention to your safety." Socia said seriously to Midi and the others.

Midi's expression remained unchanged, and she still just nodded lightly.

Although it cost a lot of money to board the Nantian Xing, Midi and others can only be regarded as passengers, but they are not qualified to give orders to the captain's actions. This has always been the rule in the South China Sea.If it is a ship that really wants to obey the order, it is better to use the warship of the Hamilton family directly. Since this time, since it is going to be anonymous from the beginning, Midi will naturally have to do it thoroughly.

Moreover, the current battle can only be regarded as a small fight for him now.

Before that, Midi may have to weigh it and calculate how far he can control the situation in the worst case with a few companions.Whether it will slow down the schedule because of this battle, and then affect Belle Mare's strategic layout.

But now, with the integration of the ultimate will and ghosts and gods in the body, the small golden sword has just formed. It can be said that after one awakening, even a 50-level capper is nothing to him, so , he doesn't care at all whether the Nantian Xingxing will participate in the battle.

On the contrary, in the previous life, Midi didn't know much about naval battles, and had never commanded a large-scale naval battle, so he had some interest in his heart, and wanted to see for himself how these large sailing ships with artillery fought.

After all, if you want to master the west coast, you will definitely not be able to get around the hurdle of naval warfare.

This is the difference in mentality brought about by different strengths and realms.

Whether you are turbulent or scheming, I only need to kill it with one sword!
Therefore, for Socia's reminder, Midi just responded casually, but did not evade it in any way, and still just stood firmly on the bow of the ship with a wide view, as if the coming is not a bloodbath. A naval battle, but a wonderful drama in general.

Seeing this situation, the first mate next to the red-haired female captain suddenly thought that the young rich young man was ignorant, or that he didn't take his captain seriously, and immediately frowned.

Many experienced sailors also exchanged winks and laughed.

From their point of view, although the rich young nobleman behaved well, he obviously knew nothing about fighting. The long sword on his waist looked like a decoration, and he probably hadn't even seen blood.When the fight really started, under the roaring artillery fire, they must have run away in fright.Therefore, they didn't remind them, just waited to see the good show.

Seeing this situation, Socia's eyes were also thoughtful, but she was relieved immediately.

She wanted to test Midi, but in this situation, when she really started fighting, she should be able to see the opponent's various methods.

Therefore, the red-haired female captain didn't mind, but immediately turned her attention to the three o'clock direction where the Albatross was.

The sea breeze blew violently, carrying a faint smell of gunpowder.

Then, the sound of rumbling guns continued to pass along with the sound of the wind.

Soon, on the distant horizon, a few black spots rapidly grew in size, turning into pieces of white bulging sails.

There were a total of four ships that entered the field of vision, and the one at the front was the same model as the Nantian Star. They were all three-masted full-horse sailing ships, and it was obviously the Albatross.And followed by two three-masted schooners and a five-masted galleon with a three-story ship.

The two schooners are flexible and light, and because of the presence of the schooners, they can make full use of the sea wind no matter where they come from, and their speed is faster than ordinary square sails.The two schooners were like hounds, attacking from the left and right sides, and quickly caught up with the Albatross, and then used the cannons on both sides of the ship to pin it down.

Although the tonnage of the schooner is not large and the shells it can carry are not many, however, such occasional sniper attacks that specifically target vital points cannot be ignored.

As a result, the speed of the Albatross gradually slowed down.

At this moment, the five-masted galleon behind had already pushed up, and the gun doors below the bow were opened, and a total of three gun doors and nine serial guns were aimed at the stern building of the Albatross.

Boom boom boom!
There was a deafening roar, and the chain of muzzles sprayed dazzling light. The next moment, the entire hull of the Albatross shook, and the ship building at the rear was completely smashed!Sawdust was flying in the sky like falling snowflakes, and flames gradually rose from the ruins.

Not only that, the rear sub-mast of the Albatross was also severely damaged in this shelling, and it was on the verge of falling. The sail hanging on it fell down and hit the deck, killing several crew members who could not escape on the spot.

With just one salvo, the speed of the Albatross dropped instantly.

Fortunately, the galleon didn't seem to have any intention of sinking the Albatross, so it failed to fire after a salvo.The two schooners approached again, and this time, they obviously had the intention of connecting.

Once the strings are connected, the crew can be sent directly to the opponent's ship. In the case of similar levels, as long as there are enough people, they can directly control the ship.

Obviously, they wanted to capture the Albatross.

But at this moment, the Nantian Xing had already entered the battlefield.

Since the ships of the two sides are facing each other, instead of chasing after each other, the relative speed is extremely fast.The schooner had no time to react, and the Southern Star was already on its side.

Hearing Socia's order, all the gun doors on the side facing the enemy were instantly opened, and dozens of large-caliber heavy guns came out from the dark stacks.The next moment, a series of loud noises roaring like rolling thunder shook the air, and dazzling flames spewed out, carrying the smell of death and gunpowder smoke.And at this moment, the originally slender hull of the schooner was immediately blown to pieces, almost one-third of it collapsed.

Nice raid!
The Nantian Xing was struck by thunder, and Midi's eyes lit up.

This strike was quite the style of blitz warfare that Midi liked on the battlefield. It made full use of the speed advantage brought by the environment and killed with one hit.

However, Midi, who is good at blitz warfare, knows very well that a thunderous strike is meaningless if it cannot hit the vital point.

But now the Nantian Xingxing just managed to break the siege of the Albatross, and it was still far from victory.

If you want to win this battle, you can't get around that big guy.

Thinking of this, Midi's eyes fell on the five-masted galleon.

Even someone like Midi, who is new to naval warfare, knows this, not to mention Socia.

After knocking down the schooner on the left side of the ship's side, instead of slowing down, the Nantian Star accelerated and continued to move forward. The right side of the Star!
It takes time to reload the cannon of the sailboat, but the cannon on the starboard side has not yet fired, and it is obviously waiting for this moment.

"Focus all the cannon ports in the middle and fire!" The red-haired female captain's slightly hoarse command voice spread throughout the deck.

As soon as her words fell, the experienced gunners were ready in an instant. The next moment, the cannon on the starboard side let out another roar, and dozens of shells roared, bringing out fire tails in the air, and all of them were extremely tricky. It shot to the same position below the waterline of the five-masted galleon!
"It's done!" In Socia's beautiful eyes, the brilliance flowed.

She knew very well that this kind of five-masted galleon was extremely strong, and if it was an ordinary salvo, it would not be able to cause much damage at all. Only by concentrating all the firepower on one side of the ship on one point could it cause enough damage.Now, I have seized the opportunity to launch an attack before the sidestring gun doors of the galleon have been opened, and hit the parts below the waterline. This time, even if it is a galleon, it must Will be half disabled!

However, in the next instant, the sound of gold and iron colliding made everyone's eardrums tingle.

Even Midi, who was full of intent in his body, frowned slightly.

The red-haired female captain, who was full of flowers, turned pale.

The reason for this burst of sound was because all the shells from the Nantian Xing hit the iron armor.

This five-masted galleon turned out to be an ironclad ship!

Ironclad ships are extremely heavy, and if they are only driven by sails, let alone five-masted ships, even ten-masted ships can only be used for turtles to climb. They cannot be used in real naval battles at all, and can only be used to defend ports at best.But the ironclad ship in front of him could move freely. Although it was not as good as a three-masted sailing ship, its speed was higher than that of an ordinary five-masted sailing ship.

This shows that this is a battleship powered by magic!

On the South China Sea, which force can build such a warship?
Socia's heart was turbulent, but it was too late to think about it.Because at this moment, the sidestring gun doors of the ironclad ship have also opened one after another.

This ironclad ship has two floors on one side of the ship, and each floor has fifteen gun positions, a total of thirty.Each gun position is equipped with a triple-mounted chain gun, a total of ninety cannons, densely connected into one piece, just looking at it, it is shocking.

Fortunately, the two ships were traveling in opposite directions, and their relative speed was extremely fast.Before the opponent's gun door was fully opened, the Nantian Xing had already accelerated forward, leaving it behind in an instant.

But at this moment, a strong black light pierced through the air, and hit the deck of the Nantian Star with incomparable accuracy!

That is not a cannon, but a huge crossbow set on the deck of the ironclad ship that can rotate 360 ​​degrees.Obviously, in order to avoid scaring the Nantian Xing away, the armored ship did not open the gun door. However, the giant crossbow on the deck has been calibrated long ago. At this moment, the nail gun with powerful magic power is fired at an unparalleled speed. In the middle, it seemed like a barb was directly inserted into the hull of the Nantian Xing.

In this way, after being nailed to death by this barb, the Nantian Star lost its speed and flexibility, and couldn't run away at all.

The next moment, the second, third, and fourth giant crossbows were slowly pushed onto the deck of the ironclad ship, and the flashing nail guns aimed at the Nantian Xing, like death arrows aiming at their prey!
What an ironclad ship with both offensive and defensive capabilities and no dead ends!

Midi's eyes lit up again.
