My clones are all cute and beautiful girls

Chapter 56 Battle at Sea
As the cannonball was pushed into the rear cabin and the lid was closed, a man next to him immediately stepped forward, took hold of the match rope, and pulled hard toward the back.

boom!
Along with a burst of white smoke, a 30mm caliber artillery shell was fired during a contraction of the barrel.

Yes, it was the magic cannon that was fired.

Due to the advantages of range and accuracy, although its activation process is slower, it can fire earlier than the other one.

In the diffuse smoke, Lin Ye could smell the smoke escaping into the air.

You can even see the traces left by the cannonballs in the distance.

However, the trail of white smoke only extended for more than ten meters before gradually dissipating.

Lin Ye picked up the telescope and looked at the target's location.

A few seconds later...

With a bang, a high wave splashed on the right side of the pirate ship, only 2 meters away from the ship.

The ship's hull shook violently, and the huge waves hit the deck, also wetting several pirate crew members.

"Pfft, hell, they also have artillery on the ship?" One crew member spat out the water in his mouth and said in shock.

Having artillery is a trivial matter. The most outrageous thing is that the range of this thing is farther than the one on my side, and I am so lucky that I almost hit it with the first shot.

"Quick, don't be so dazed, let me drive the boat."

The captain got anxious now and ran down the stairs next to him. He rushed up and kicked the two dazed crew members.

They were startled and immediately started rowing with all their strength.

"Adjust the sail, turn 20 degrees to the right, move forward at full speed, and get close to the target for me."

"Loader! Loader! Hurry up, we're about to enter the range."

The ship began to become a mess, and two pirates even bumped into each other while running and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing these younger brothers rushing around, the pirate brother's face turned livid.

At this moment, the second cannonball on Lin Ye's ship was also loaded.

"put!"

boom!
There was another burst of white smoke.

Faintly seeing the shrinking barrel, the man in the round hat's expression suddenly changed again.

"Brother, they launched again!"

"Hey, why so fast?"

This is all due to the technical problems of the times. It is only reasonable for the sail battleship to be equipped with the ancient artillery with solid bullets. Under the guidance of the Magic Age, some technologies were deviated and more modern artillery was designed. This resulted in a caliber of only 20 to 30 millimeters, but even the rate of fire was as slow as only two or three per minute. hair.

The magic cannon on Lin Ye's ship achieved fire suppression with the speed of one shot every 15 seconds.

The most important thing is that as the distance between the two sides shrinks to 1.5 kilometers, the other artillery without magic power can now hit the target.

boom!
With a loud noise, an explosion occurred somewhere on the pirate ship.

The violent air flow carried the fleeting fire, creating a violent shock wave, and the broken wood flew in all directions like shrapnel.

The right front plank of the ship was penetrated by the terrifying impact. The multi-layered iron sheets in the mezzanine were also immediately penetrated. The two people in the inner cabin were directly overturned to the ground.

The explosion caused the ship's hull to shake more violently.

"Bah! Bah!"

After spitting out the debris and touching the bleeding wounds on his body, the captain stood up and inspected his ship.

The front right side was almost completely destroyed. After the shells entered, the two outer cabins were completely destroyed. Such power made his face look even more ugly.

Just one more hit, even just one, and the ship might not be saved.

It’s also a pity that the artillery shells are only 30 mm, and the power is even weaker than the anti-tank during World War II. Otherwise, how can a mere wooden ship withstand such a round?
"The shells are loaded."

Above the deck, the loader who finally stood firm and pushed the shell in his hand into the gun barrel yelled in panic.

The firing hand immediately pulled the rope, and the artillery in their hands suddenly burst into flames.

puff!
A splash rises on the sea.

Deviated by nearly 10 meters.

"Damn, how did you fight?" The pirate brother was going crazy.

Forget it if you miss, there are so many deviations. "Quick, quick, hurry up and get the next shot."

The people on the boat were completely panicked. The distance between the two sides was getting closer. If the other side could shoot so accurately when they were far away, then when they got close, wouldn't the cannons be able to hit it?

Just as he was thinking this, two streaks of smoke flashed in the distance.

Both guns fired.

Not long after, two high water splashes jumped on the sea.

The pirate brother breathed a sigh of relief on the spot.

In naval battles, the hit rate of artillery fire is really a matter of faith.

Whether it is wind speed, turbulence caused by waves, ship speed, weather, etc., they will all affect the final result.

During World War II, warships from various countries on the earth could even fire artillery shells as far as 20 kilometers. And often when the distance is far away, the hit rate will drop rapidly. Of course, in modern times, the capabilities of naval guns have been improved in all aspects, not only with a range of hundreds of kilometers, but also with guidance effects.

At this time, two consecutive shots here missed, which also made Lin Ye frown slightly.

To be honest, the distance between the two sides is already very close, and it is getting more and more dangerous.

Even if the probability is relatively low, there may still be a possibility of being hit on your side.

But from his point of view, he actually doesn't want the other side to be sunk, because a pirate ship will contain a lot of valuable things no matter what it says.

Just when he was thinking about how to capture the prisoners, artillery in the distance suddenly fired.

boom!
Our ship shuddered, and the airflow from the explosion blew the forest leaves in front of the ship several meters away. Lilika was so frightened that she rushed to catch him, but her arms were full on the spot, and the two of them crashed into the stairs at the back. superior.

"Sigh~~"

Lin Ye felt pain in his abdomen. When he looked down, he found that a fragment had cut him.

Liuli rushed forward and released the healing technique.

Lin Ye himself endured the pain and pulled out the fragment from his stomach.

"Brilliant."

Kemo, who noticed this scene, was extremely impressed.

To be able to make the two most popular girls on the ship take the initiative to rescue them immediately is beyond worship.

He suddenly felt that Lin Ye might be the most unusual person on the entire ship.

……

The abdominal injury healed.

While Lin Ye stood up, Liuli withdrew his hand and looked at the 30mm magic cannon that had finished loading the next shell and was about to be fired, but did not stop it.

boom!
The shells were fired again.

The closer distance makes the hit rate higher.

And this shot completely killed the ship on the opposite side.

It hit the pirate ship near the bottom of the ship. The shell penetrated the outer shell and caused a bloody storm inside. The projectile penetrated almost half of the ship and entered the water from below.

Turbulent water poured into the cabin.

"He was shot again, let's go see where he was shot."

"No, the boat is leaking and is going to sink!"

Total chaos.

Even the two people who were preparing to fire the gun panicked.

Lin Ye watched from a distance, estimated the distance, and said to the people behind: "Continue the bombardment."

Yes, he is not prepared to approach, but to completely sink the target.

The danger of taking prisoners is even greater, which means that these desperate guys are likely to directly conflict with their own side.

The opponent's combat power is unknown. Even if there are two trainees or even junior warriors, it will be extremely troublesome for Lin Ye now.

He currently has a small manpower and does not want to lose any of them for the time being.
