Chapter 733 That's Fire Meteor

"That's a fire meteor, otherwise what would it be?"

"Are those witchcraft?"

Some people who have become pirates but still have faith have been praying to their respective gods. It has to be said that in this era, pirates were probably the only group of people with freedom of belief. Look at the ship, there were Arabs, Europeans and some black people. They were probably former slaves who were willing to change jobs and were left behind.

The pirates stared at the projectiles that had flew closer. Especially when they found that the projectiles were not rushing towards Chuanban, but just flying towards the sails, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Because no matter what kind of projectiles, even if they make a hole in the sail is not a big deal. And even if they hit the mast, even if they hit the mast, even at a range of 200 meters, that kind of damage can be caused to the mast.

Just when the pirates were relieved, something that surprised and feared them appeared.

"boom……"

The incendiary bomb installed in the delayed fuze exploded. The so-called delayed fuze is just a small turntable with a clockwork. After the ammunition hand twists according to the distance, the fuse will change from impact to delay. Although it is not very safe, it is generally enough in this era. The only disadvantage is that this delayed fuze cannot be sent continuously.

The gum flames in the explosion flew out like a tent of fire, and a huge fire immediately ignited on the entire sail. This is the inevitable danger of sailing ships in the sailing era. Unless they are rescued, when the only power, the sail, is damaged, there is basically no possibility of escaping.

However, the pirates have no loyalty. Even these pirate ships that were planned to fight against in groups of three or three are not one family. They just hope to use the number to scare away those strange ships and take the opportunity to escape.

Seeing this result at this moment, they took their eyes off the "fire meteor" flying one after another, and turned their rudder desperately, hoping that their ship could run before being attacked. However, compared with shells, the steering of the sailboat was much slower than that of a snail.

As the sails on the ships caught fire, the "Qinhuang-apm" class warships were not in a hurry to catch them. Without the sails, they were not afraid of them running to the sky. Instead, the warships that were eager to make money all turned their rudders to chase the escaped sailboats.

Unlike other "Qinhuang-apm"-class warships who were eager to make money, the flagship commanded by Matt was equipped with Zhao Fubo and others, so naturally they could not make money so crazy. In contrast, they had to send Zhao Fubo and others to places suitable for live targets.

Moreover, he did not dare to take the risk of driving the ship to a distance of 250 meters from the pirate ships. After all, his ship was full of big figures. If he was attacked by the opponent's stone throwing machine and giant crossbow, one or two casualties would be severe.

Therefore, holding the telescope, he issued an attack order through the "sound tube" on the ship, with the purpose of making the people on the ship no longer have the ability to attack remotely.

"Kill bombs, intensive attacks!"

Facing the stone thrower on a pirate ship, Matt issued an order. Although he was very young at the moment, as the commander of the fleet, he was the absolute authority in naval operations. In the entire Yulin Army of the Song Dynasty, his father Abu Bakr recognized the first place, and Matt was the second place.

Compared with those incendiary bombs, kill bombs are shells with prefabricated fragments of impact fuses. With Matt's order, more than 10 crossbows on the side of the "Qinhuang-apm" class warship began to fire at a speed of 15 rounds per minute.

At this time, the pirates whose sails were burning were desperate, because although the shells flying towards them did not have the terrifying red feathered tail of the "Fire Meteor", there would be a large ball of artillery wherever these things touched.

Although they do not have much effect when facing relatively strong hulls. Even people under the deck will not be injured. However, on the deck, as fireballs rise, tiny killing fragments are like sickles, grenade all the standing people.

“My God…”

Those who think it is God's punishment will arch their heads into all corners that look safe and pray to their God regardless of the number of shrapnel. However, they will hit their heads in, not picky at all.

After a few shells, Matt saw the opponent's stone thrower with a little joy. The gunner of the giant crossbow had fallen, and no one on the deck dared to resist.

"Well, this is probably the time when the sir is right to enjoy the hunting fun!"

"Order the warships to get close to the enemy ships, and all ships are on alert. If you find dangerous crossbows, attack immediately. Sniper archers and the imperial guards go to the deck, and no shooting is allowed without orders!"

As the deck was on the way, when the imperial soldiers built a human wall with guns, Zhao Fubo brought two emperors Louis IX and Conrad IV to appear behind the "covers" specially prepared for them. The two large boxes were covered with sandbags so that the emperors could put their muskets on them, so that they could easily aim.

Unlike the flintlock rifles that were once in history, the two muskets sent by Zhao Fubo all had good frame-shaped rulers and star aiming systems. At this time, they were less than 100 meters away from the pirate ship, while Zhao Fubo did not intend to waste bullets.

Although I had tried the power of muskets on the boat, if I really used it to hit people, the two European emperors felt somewhat unsure. Especially now there is a distance of 50 meters. If one hits and the other fails, would it look a bit embarrassing!

"Don't rush to two of you, our time to deal with them."

At this time, the others on the ship were strictly carrying out protection tasks. The rifleman and the sniper archer had already aimed. As long as someone on the other side's ship wanted to control the stone thrower and crossbow cannon, they would kill the other side as soon as possible.

Perhaps because so many people around were watching, they were the first time they used muskets to hit people. The two European emperors were somewhat nervous, and then the two shots almost at the same time.

"Muji"

After two shots, none of the pirates on the opposite ship fell down. Although no one said anything, the two European emperors felt a little embarrassed.

But then their close servants reloaded them so that they could shoot again.

“Bao …”
