"Musket ready!"

"Grenade ready!"

"Swivel cannon ready!"

The navy's six galleys are not equipped with large artillery, but are equipped with swivel cannons that can rotate flexibly.

The sailors on the ship were divided into two groups, one group was equipped with swords or axes, specialized in hand-to-hand combat, and was responsible for dealing with the enemies who jumped onto the ship, and each of them was also equipped with several clay pot grenades.

Another group of sailors is equipped with muskets. They stand behind the melee soldiers and are responsible for pointing out the enemies who are fighting with their own sailors at close range.

Considering that the current water battles are still dominated by ship-to-board battles, and to prepare for street battles that may appear in the future, the equipment department asked Heman, who is in charge of firearm research and development, to specially create a large-caliber gun with a short range. A shotgun (iron filings) musket.

This kind of musket called "big sprayer" by the soldiers is simply a hand-held cannon. The iron filings it shoots can beat the enemy in a fan-shaped area within 20 to 30 meters to blood. And it is too small, and it is extremely difficult to remove it after being embedded in the flesh.

Nearly half of the muskets equipped by the sailors are such "big sprayers".

As the enemy ships approached one after another, the soldiers equipped with long-barreled muskets opened fire first, and the first wave of blows caused great confusion to the pirates, forcing them to lie down to avoid the bullets.

After approaching a certain distance, each of the six pirate ships bit a warship.

"Throw the hook!"

Some pirates risked being shot by muskets and threw large iron hooks on the warship. The tails of the hooks were tied with cables. With the hook rope, the ships on both sides quickly approached.

When the pirates pulled the hook rope, the sailors tried their best to throw the grenade at the enemy ship. As long as they could be thrown on the opponent's ship, the pirates would still be bombed even if they were lying on the deck.

Fortunately, because of the weather, they were wearing thick enough clothes. With the power of the grenade now, as long as the exposed parts were not hit by fragmented nails, they would only feel a lot of pain. However, many unlucky people were still injured.

"Put down the boarding plank!"

The thick springboards turned over from the pirate ship, and the end with the nails was placed on the side of the warship.

"Come on! Kill them!"

The pirates all stood up and roared, stepped on the springboard and rushed towards the warship.

"It's this time, fire!"

The swivel guns on the 6 galleys fired one after another, and the shotguns fired swept away the pirates crowded on the diving board, and all fell into the sea to feed the fish.

"Don't stop! Go! Go and get close to them!"

The pirate leaders shouted loudly, and some even waved their mates until they took the lead and rushed to the gangplank for the second time.

"Touch!" "Touch!"

The "big sprayer" used to block the enemy at close range opened fire. Although the power was not as powerful as the rotary gun, the injuries caused were enough to make people feel so painful that they lost their combat effectiveness.

If it was on land, the situation was better, but on the bumpy springboard between the two ships, the sudden powerful blow made the pirates unsteady, and the second wave of pirates who tried to pass the springboard also fell into the sea with howls. .

It stands to reason that under such repeated blows, the general pirate regiment would have raised their hands and surrendered or collapsed long ago, but in order to strengthen his own combat effectiveness and restore the unfavorable situation caused by the first four ships, he ordered his direct descendants to take the second place. took the drug for the first time.

Although the second dose was much less, many people were a little delirious under the cumulative stimulation of the two doses, and their minds were full of desire to drink the blood of the enemy.

Those who managed to maintain their sanity no longer had the fear of casualties, and turned a blind eye to the plight of their companions in front of them.

The springboard is very short, and it only takes a few seconds to rush over. Such a short time is not enough for the sailors to complete the second round of ammunition loading.

"Brothers, kill them!" The captains of the ships took the lead, leading the hand-to-hand sailors to wave their weapons and fight with the pirates who rushed onto the ship. Because the situation was too chaotic, most of the soldiers equipped with muskets also pulled out their own guns. sword, joined the melee.

"Ha!" Captain Yarman shouted, and used his saber to resist the long knife swung by the opponent.

Who would have thought that this shock would make his mouth tingle, Captain Alman was secretly startled, there is such a powerful person in the world. He is also quite conceited about his own strength on weekdays, but compared with the pirates in front of him, he is actually much inferior.

Yarman blocked the opponent's knife with all his strength, and held the hilt of the sword with both hands to deal with the opponent. After a few rounds, he gradually found that the opponent was only strong, but his moves were open and closed, and he was completely reckless. style of play.

The pirate who was fighting with him looked almost crazy, and his bare arms were exposed with blue veins, as if they were about to pop out.

"Come on! Blue-striped dog!" the pirate yelled frantically, with a long pout dripping from the corner of his mouth. He raised his long knife and rushed towards Arman again without hesitation.

Yarman's whole body was tense, but he didn't raise his sword to block or avoid it. Instead, he took the opportunity to squat down and sweep his legs. With a "bang", the opponent fell to the deck.

The pirate struggled to get up, but a sharp sword pierced him from the back and stabbed him to death.

The captain drew his sword, took a breath and looked around to observe the battle situation.

Due to the firearm strikes before the gang jumping battle, the pirates suffered a lot of casualties. Compared with the navy, they are already at a disadvantage in numbers, but it seems that every pirate rushing over is extremely powerful, and often two or three sailors can barely resist a pirate. pirate.

Yarman felt something was wrong, this was the first time he encountered such a situation, could all the pirates in front of him be Hercules?

Fortunately, the sailors participating in the battle this time are no longer the rookies who just joined the army. The strict obedience training and iron-like discipline on weekdays allowed them to overcome the fear and panic in their hearts. Strong fighting spirit, and accumulated rich practical experience in the process of defending against pirates. With the addition of these factors, the navy is not overwhelmingly overwhelmed by the opponent.

And, they have muskets!

Not all sailors equipped with muskets joined in hand-to-hand combat, and some continued to use muskets to shoot.

These shooters are carefully selected. They respond quickly and aim quickly. Each of them is equipped with several specially trained assistants who are responsible for loading ammunition. After a shot is finished, the empty gun is handed over to the assistant to load With one round of ammunition, the shooter looks for the next target~lightnovelpub.net~ while receiving another gun that has been loaded with ammunition from another assistant, and then raises the gun to shoot at the new target, repeating and continuously open fire.

Unlike some gunfight movies, the main character can survive and eliminate the enemies one by one after being shot several times in the body. In reality, the human body is often incapacitated after being hit by a bullet.

Moreover, there is no Hague International Convention in this world. The bullets of the Arda army are all made of lead. Because lead is relatively soft, it tends to release all the kinetic energy after hitting the human body. A trumpet-shaped cavity appears, and the trauma area is hundreds of times the cross-sectional area of ​​the projectile. In addition, the huge pressure on the blood circulation system of the human body is generated instantly, and the damage caused will be even greater. The pain of the injured will not stop there. If the projectile fragments are not All taken out from the wound can also cause lead poisoning.

Although the pirates under Garden had explosive growth in their strength, endurance, and anti-strike ability under the action of drugs, they were not exaggerated to the extent that they could cause mutations in body tissues, and because of the accelerated blood circulation, once If you are hit in an artery, you will squirt blood.

On the other hand, no matter how impressive the accuracy of the current smoothbore guns at a distance of 100 meters is, at such a close distance on the deck, it is almost pointing to where to hit. The only thing shooters should pay attention to is not to accidentally injure Comrades in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

As the gunshots on the battleships rang out continuously, one after another the pirates with bloodshot eyes fell on the deck.

Pirates who were hit on vital parts such as the heart and head were directly killed, and pirates who were hit on the thigh or arm fell and had no chance to get up again. The sailors who fought against them would immediately make up for it.

The balance of victory quickly tilted to the Navy's side.
