Chapter 573 Guerrilla Warfare at Sea (8000)

Boom!

Bang!

The spinning shells slammed into the side of the Japanese warship.

The wooden board suddenly shattered and dented inwards.

The screams of Japanese pirates could be faintly heard inside, but it soon became quiet again.

Matthew was in no hurry to get close to the warship, and commanded Li to knock out the artillery muzzles one after another.

At the same time, he slowly warned the gathered adventurer leaders:

"Never underestimate any opponent. Japanese pirates are cruel and inhumane by nature."

"Destroying their counterattack is only the first step to victory. They usually fight stubbornly in the warship, using their familiarity with the warship to carry out defensive operations."

"This is not the most dangerous thing. Once they realize that the battle has failed and the warship is about to be taken away by the enemy, they will die together without hesitation."

In just a few words, the adventurer leaders realized how ferocious and terrifying the Japanese pirates were.

However, none of the adventurer leaders backed down.

The leader of the adventurers who can get here is not a simple character.

They have experienced various battles in the Gulf Territory, large and small.

Killed trolls, orcs, drow, dragon creatures and many other dangerous enemies.

How could we be afraid of opponents like Japanese pirates?

They were all waiting silently, waiting for the lord to give a solution.

This is a bay collar specialty!

No matter how dangerous the task is, Gulf Territory will provide at least two solutions and provide corresponding help.

New adventurers are usually not particularly interested in this kind of help, thinking that they can easily complete the task with their own abilities.

They often suffer big losses!

The group leaders were looking forward to it very much, because they could already imagine the big move that the Gulf Leader would arrange for them next.

Matthew stretched out his hand and pointed it in the air, and the magical image of the Japanese pirate warship appeared.

It clearly shows the various structures of the Japanese pirate warships, and the various uses of different cabins are also revealed one by one.

"They are usually in the warehouse at the bottom of the warship, preparing explosives that can blow an irreparable hole in the bottom of the ship."

"Once the war goes wrong, they will detonate explosives and die together with the enemy."

“It’s actually not difficult to resolve this danger, that is to take the initiative.”

"Before they detonate, attack the bottom of the cabin first!"

As Matthew spoke, he showed the situation at the bottom of the cabin. He reached out and picked off the bottom of the cabin that was the most threatening.

Everyone is a little confused. The Lord's idea is good, but how to solve this problem?

Just when everyone was puzzled, there was a sudden commotion on the Japanese warship that was getting closer and closer.

Everyone could vaguely hear the panicked shouts of the Japanese pirates.

At this moment, Matthew decisively gave the order to attack:

"Rush up and deal with them!"

The sails of the magic warship that was originally moving slowly swelled up suddenly, and the huge thrust pushed the magic warship forward quickly.

Before the Japanese pirates could react, Magic Warship No. 3 had already rushed in front of them.

The big guys on the deck could already see the broken corpses inside through the holes in the warship.

The strong smell of gunpowder smoke spread everywhere, giving everyone the feeling of stepping onto a battlefield.

Fierce sounds emerged from below, and a fierce battle seemed to be going on inside the cabin.

The big guy who vaguely understood it immediately understood Matthew's plan.

At this moment, the magic warship made a deft side attack and accurately stuck to the side of the Japanese pirate warship.

Matthew made an attack gesture, and the soldiers who were well prepared pulled the trigger.

Twenty or thirty large crossbow arrows pierced through with a "swipe".

They showed amazing destructive power and penetrated into the ship's plank very easily.

The rope connected to the end of the arrow formed a temporary connection channel.

The adventurers who were prepared quickly climbed up the rope.

Without any hesitation, Izaya grabbed a thick rope, swung his body slightly, and began to climb up quickly.

At the same time, she also manipulated the water flow below, pulling upwards with force to create a water curtain full of water splashes.

The purpose of this is to limit the enemy's field of vision and add some protection.

When she climbed over twenty or thirty meters and arrived on the Japanese pirate ship.

Some powerful adventurer elites have already climbed onto the deck to suppress the Japanese pirates who rushed out of the cabin.

Listening to the deafening shouts of killing, Li remembered Matthew's teachings and remained awake, forcing himself not to rush out.

She first glanced at the deck, observing the battle situation.

There were only about 30 Japanese pirates, stubbornly blocking the hatch of the ship.

The more than 20 elite adventurers who rushed forward had already gained the upper hand in the battle.

However, in the upper cabin of the Japanese warship, there were still vague glimpses of prying eyes.

Li carefully raised the shield without leaning up subconsciously.

Matthew had taught her not to approach danger alone and to preserve as much strength as possible.

Only in this way can we make more contributions in the subsequent battles.

Listen to others and eat enough.

Li did not attack rashly, but carefully stood on the side of the ship, silently waiting for other soldiers to board the ship.

At this moment, more than 10 crossbow arrows flew over.

Li, sensing the danger, jumped off the side of the ship very quickly.

The sparse crossbow arrows hit nothing, and Li felt the vibration of breaking through the air above her head, and her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

She almost met the end of her life just now.

However, Li's psychological quality is very strong. After a simple deep breath, she climbed up again very quickly.

This time, the other soldiers of the Bay Territory have climbed over one after another.

They showed excellent cooperation. The first to climb over the side of the ship were the strong shield soldiers.

They slammed their heavy steel shields against the side of the ship, and their tall bodies were against the back, forming a neat line, and rushed straight to the direction where the crossbow arrows flew from above.

Li followed her companions' example and hid behind the shield soldier after climbing onto the ship.

She picked up the crossbow on her waist, felt the direction of the danger, and raised her hand to shoot without even looking.

Whoosh!

Click!

"Ah...!"

After a series of sounds,

"Good..."

"Well done!"

"Keep going!"

"Come on!"

Li heard the clear cheers of her companions.

She was slightly happy in her heart, knowing that her attack had worked.

She skillfully reloaded the crossbow arrows, followed her feeling, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Another enemy hiding behind the door and window fell.

The shield-bearing soldier who saw this scene immediately showed a happy expression.

Which meat shield would not like such an excellent archer?

The free moisture in the air and the guidance of extraordinary intuition made Li shoot very accurately, one arrow per shot, basically without missing.

Such a strong long-range suppression force immediately frightened the Japanese pirates hiding in the houseboat.

They did not dare to approach the windows and shooting holes, and could only let the soldiers of the Bay Leader come up.

They pulled the trigger with fear outside the window, but only heard a series of metal collisions.

The wooden doors and windows were pushed open, and a row of bright shields came over.

Each soldier raised a crossbow in his hand and pulled the trigger at the Japanese pirates who had nowhere to hide.

After a period of chaos, the battle here was over.

Li slowly adjusted his breathing, calmly swept across the bodies of the Japanese pirates, and recalled the scene of pushing all the way, and an inexplicable exclamation emerged in his mind:

"Obviously they are stronger than me, but they died without any resistance."

"Just because I have better comrades, better formations, better equipment..."

She understood that when fighting collectively, personal strength may be able to play a role, but more still depends on companions.

In fact, this is what Matthew wants to teach her.

As time goes by, with Li's outstanding talent, she will quickly widen the gap with her peers.

If there is no early perception, this young genius professional is very likely to fall into blind superstition of his own strength.

When that time comes, it will take more effort to turn it around, and even pay a painful price.

It is precisely because of this that no matter how outstanding the genius is, Matthew will arrange them to start from the basics and the collective.

Temporary accumulation is for better growth!

After dealing with the enemies on the deck and the houseboat, the soldiers lined up in assault formation and began to rush into the cabin.

They did not rush into the room to fight the stubborn Japanese pirates, but went straight to the cabin at the bottom, ready to join the team members at the bottom of the cabin.

Li glanced at the faint light on the armor above his head, and scanned the surrounding passages with vigilant eyes, trying his best to sense any traces of the enemy.

The adventurer leaders following behind them also began to cooperate with each other to clean up the remaining Japanese pirates.

They have excellent insight and can easily find the other party's hiding place, and then work together to strangle them.

They did not relax their vigilance because the strength of the Japanese pirates was far different. Instead, they kept in mind the situation encountered in the battle and the attack and hiding methods of the Japanese pirates.

Now, it is the leader of the bay who is demonstrating to everyone how to seize a Japanese pirate warship.

It won't be long before they have to take action themselves.

Along the way, the short Japanese pirates launched raids from various dark corners.

Moreover, the various weapons they used also opened the eyes of the soldiers and adventurers.

Poisoned darts, traps full of poisonous smoke, highly irritating smoke, sharp and narrow long swords and other complex weapons.

However, the sporadic casualties caused by these weapons.

They were quickly restored by the antidote and blood-activating potion of the Gulf Leader.

As soon as they started, the area including their hiding place would be covered by crossbows with strong penetrating power.

The thick armor could not stop the shooting of enchanted crossbows, not to mention the wood used to separate the space inside.

The stubborn Japanese pirates were cleared, and the soldiers who came later firmly controlled the terrain.

Only then did they send out the follow-up assault team to provide in-depth support.

The whole process was very fast and smooth.

It showed that even if the Gulf Leader army was transformed into a navy, it still had excellent discipline and well-trained combat capabilities.

The leaders of the adventure groups who followed the assault felt that he should train well in the military camp of the Bay Territory before engaging in actual combat.

He pulled the trigger and shot the Japanese pirates hiding in the dark corner.

Li carefully bent down, hid himself behind his teammates, and skillfully replaced the crossbow arrows.

She looked at the corpses piled on the ground and noticed the reformed warriors blocking the hatch on the bottom floor. Feeling the powerful aura on their bodies, a faint curiosity emerged in her heart.

How did they move under the Japanese pirate warship, and how did they appear directly at the bottom of the ship?

Judging from the bodies on the ground.

Their team of five killed at least more than 50 Japanese pirates without any casualties themselves.

This made Li have more thoughts in his heart.

Li looked at the cabin where nearly half of the water had seeped in. It was sealed by a piece of magic metal to ensure that no more water seeped in. He blinked in realization.

Is this the end?

"The follow-up assault team conducts the second search."

"Check if there are any injuries on your teammates..."

"Decontaminate the bodies and seal them all."

"Quickly count the loot, then clean the battlefield. After 20 minutes, inspectors and repairmen will repair the damaged parts of the warship..."

"Others quickly returned to the deck to prepare for the next raid."

"..."

Various orders continued to echo in this Japanese pirate warship.

Not long after we returned to Magic Warship No. 3 and rested, the Japanese pirate warship we had just captured was already able to sail.

She carefully recalled the battle scene just now to see where she still had shortcomings.

Warship No. 3 quickly sailed forward.

In about 15 minutes, they caught up with the other magic warships.

The second Japanese pirate warship has also stopped.

This time, it took less than 10 minutes for the raiding Gulf Territory combat troops to successfully capture the Japanese pirate warship.

This time, he rushed faster and rushed to the bottom of the cabin, only to see an empty cabin.

She understood the raid method of the reformed warriors.

Putting all the explosives in the storage space will eliminate the risk of explosion.

Of course, knowing this is only part of the story.

How did the Transformation Warriors get in?

How did they quickly defeat their opponents?

With such doubts, Li ended his first battle to hunt Japanese pirates.

When the four Japanese pirate ships returned to the fishing island, they immediately caused an uproar.

The other navy soldiers who were training were very envious and excited, eager to participate in the next battle.

Everyone at work also felt excited and happy.

They love the changes brought about by the Gulf tie, but they are still a little worried about the return of Japanese pirates.

Now, we see the corpses of Japanese pirates one after another, and several Japanese pirate ships have been captured.

They were completely relieved and went to work more excitedly.

Gathering a wave of public support, the Gulf Territory completely stabilized the situation on the fishing island.

In the next more than half a month.

More and more magic warships were brought from the bay to the fishing island.

More and more trained naval soldiers also began to ride on these magic warships to hunt Japanese pirates in the surrounding waters.

At the beginning, the Japanese pirates would boldly stop and intend to fight back.

After all of them, including people and boats, were dealt with and brought back to the fishing island, the remaining Japanese pirates became much more honest.

As soon as they saw the magic warship in the Gulf Territory, they turned around and ran away without any intention of fighting.

More and more naval soldiers have experienced fierce battles at sea and matured rapidly.

The number of adventurers participating in the battle began to increase.

Even a group of adventurers headed by Alice have begun to apply to purchase the captured Japanese pirate warships.

That's right, the adventurers had gone through many battles.

They had made up their minds and were ready to hunt alone.

With a smile on his face, Wildhammer has returned to feeling cheerful and relaxed now that he no longer has to worry about the war situation in the dwarf kingdom.

He was happily introducing the magic dwarf artillery produced by the United Factory to the adventure group leaders.

"Unlike the old-fashioned artillery in the past, you have to worry about rain, wet gunpowder, exploding chambers, and troublesome loading."

"Its built-in magic lead can still complete ignition when it is humid outside."

"Magic gunpowder is safe and stable and must be activated by specific detonators and fuses, which greatly improves the safety of storage and transportation."

"Needless to say, the benefits of rear loading are not only safer, but also faster..."

"Needless to say the range, the super long range of 1,200 meters can easily crush the old artillery of the Japanese pirates."

"..."

Looking at the different magic artillery of the same caliber and model, the captains looked at each other from time to time, communicating and discussing with their eyes.

They naturally know the excellence of magic artillery.

After witnessing the battle process of them crushing Japanese pirates, I fully understand their excellence and importance.

But some expensive prices still make them undecided.

However, the Gulf Territory quickly solved their worries.

"The Gulf Territory will continue to open up routes to the south and open up maritime trade routes with Falsico and other southern countries."

This piece of news alone was not enough for the adventurer leaders to make up their minds.

In the next two days, the three ordinary warships of Alice's adventure team used the long-range advantage of magic artillery to defeat a small pirate team.

They not only sank 2 Japanese pirate warships, but also captured 1 Japanese pirate warship.

One warship alone is worth a lot of money.

Not to mention, they also captured 4 transport ships.

They were loaded with rare metal ores worth more than 2 million gold coins!

This vote alone not only made Alice's adventure team pay back, but also made each member of the team earn more than 1,000 gold coins.

Looking at their jubilant "harvest" scene, other adventure teams did not delay any longer and joined the ranks of buying warships and magic artillery.

Taking advantage of the artillery, the fleet of the adventurer team set off a wave of hunting Japanese pirates in the waters near the coast.

The adventure team, which is keen on traveling in groups, likes to use the advantages of range and manpower to hunt those small pirate fleets.

The number of warships in the small pirate fleet is not large, which will not put too much pressure on them.

Even if they cannot defeat the enemy because of their large number, they can still escape before the enemy's warships approach.

If the enemy wants to pursue.

Without an absolute speed advantage, they must first take twenty or thirty rounds of artillery fire before they can catch up with their speed of releasing water.

Sometimes some pirate warships chase and find that they are already scarred and have suffered heavy losses.

The adventurer warships that have been escaping will show their ferocious fangs and launch a fatal counterattack.

More and more adventure groups have achieved success, hunting down more and more Japanese pirates, and robbing more and more pirate warships and transport ships.

In this way, other adventure groups that see the "money" scene will definitely not be left behind, and they will start to work hard here.

Of course, the cruel and cunning Japanese pirates are not soft eggs that can be manipulated by others.

Sometimes they will also show their ferocious fangs.

Relying on their familiarity with the sea and islands, the Japanese pirates also set up some traps to surround and kill several warships of the adventurer team.

If they had not sent out a call for help in time, the Bay Territory magic warship, which was advancing at full speed, would have arrived in time.

I'm afraid it would not be as simple as losing more than half of the personnel and almost sinking the warship.

After this lesson, the fleets of the adventure group woke up again.

Their opponents were not easy to deal with.

Once they were careless, they would most likely die.

The Bay Territory also gave them some pre-war training.

In particular, the "simple version of the sea guerrilla tactics" with "attack distance" as the advantage and mutual cooperation as the main body.

It opened the door to a new world for many adventurer fleets.

It was the first time they discovered that fighting could be fought this way.

"Don't fight to the death with the enemy, they can't reach us anyway!"

"Once the situation is not right, don't care how much you gain, just run away first, at worst you can fight back again..."

"Before fighting, you must observe the terrain. The range of naked eye observation is relatively small, but pets such as flying birds and means of opening vision can help you better discover the enemy's ambush..."

"When you are in doubt, fire two more rounds of artillery first. Although the shells are not cheap, they are definitely not as precious as human lives."

"Explore more islands and record the information in them. The territory will purchase them."

"Pay more attention to the weather conditions. They are mostly unable to fight back on rainy days. You can make good use of this..."

"..."

After training and training, the adventurer fleet is no longer as straightforward as before.

They integrated the knowledge they learned, the battle layout and arrangement on land, into the sea battle.

Soon, the unprepared small-scale Japanese pirate fleet suffered a big loss.

In the past, there were only two or three adventurer warships gathered together, but now they have become seven or eight.

This is called a righteous group fight.

Just after setting up the encirclement and laying out the bait, they were ready to wait for the prey to take the bait.

Who knew that four or five warships would rush out and swallow the "bait" voraciously.

A larger encirclement had already wrapped up all their traps.

When they reacted, they found themselves "nesting".

Another half a month had passed.

In the waters near the eastern coast, the small Japanese pirate fleets that were originally like locusts had become much sparser.

A considerable part of them became the spoils of the Gulf Navy and the adventurer fleet.

The other part chose to flee this dangerous place.

Which piece of sea can't be robbed?

There is no need to fight to the death here!

However, although the Gulf Navy and the adventurer team made a lot of noise, they still could not fundamentally eliminate the medium and large pirate fleets of the Japanese pirates.

Not only did they have a large number of warships, but they also "timely" completed the replacement of some artillery.

The Gulf Navy had some contact with them, but did not gain too much advantage, so they temporarily withdrew their greedy tentacles to the outer waters.

In the joint factory.

A batch of magic cannons salvaged from a medium-sized Japanese pirate shipwreck are being inspected and studied by many eyes.

Matthew stroked the magic cannons with precise and delicate patterns and full of artistic beauty, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly:

"The Cole elves are really willing to spend money!"

On the other side, Annie recalled the magic cannons that appeared on the battlefield recently, snorted softly and said:

"Although the performance of the magic artillery they made is good, it is obvious that they were built one by one separately, which consumed a lot of manpower, material resources and resources."

That's right!

The more resources the Cole elves invested in the Japanese pirates, the more they could reduce the pressure on the El elves.

The Wild Hammer on the other side was also a little disgusted. The dwarves who were very vengeful soon thought of a crucial problem.

"The Cole elves would rather support scum like the Japanese pirates than support our Dwarf Kingdom..."

"Allies... hehe..."

Mo Duncan touched his chin, looked at several key magic patterns with surprise, and said in an expectant tone:

"The Cole elves' technology is quite good, and they are taking a different route from us. There are many things we can learn from..."

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Matthew left this batch of materials to the joint factory and began to prepare for the opening of the waterway.

The Japanese pirates "sent" not only 15 warships, but also 32 transport ships.

The warships had been divided up by the adventure group, and all these transport ships were kept by the Gulf Territory.

Each transport ship could carry nearly 200 tons of supplies.

One transport could carry 1/4 of the goods produced in the Gulf Territory every month.

Matthew would not let such a valuable fortune sit idle.

Soon, through the Silver Leaf Family's channels in Falcico, the Gulf Territory received a large order for supplies.

The total value of this order exceeded 5 million gold coins, accounting for 1/3 of the monthly production value of the Gulf Territory, which can be said to be a big deal.

In order to ensure safety, he really developed connections and sales channels in Falcico.

Matthew decided to form a large transport fleet to rehearse across the Caribbean Sea and the Sea of ​​Death.

April 13.

Gulf Territory.

Sunny.

The scorching sun gradually exuded the power of summer.

Gusts of hot wind blew, causing ripples and beautiful waves on the endless green seedlings.

On a railway connecting Bay City and the dock, a golem train loaded with twenty containers was running fast.

The speed of the golem train was very fast, almost reaching 200 kilometers per hour.

There were iron mesh railings on both sides of the railway to ensure that no one would bump into it.

The train traveled for about 15 minutes and arrived in front of a large lake in the middle of the Silver Moon River.

It was quickly inspected and entered the busy shipyard.

One after another, large containers were loaded onto a huge transport ship.

The difference between it and other transport ships is that its hull is made of metal.

This is a steel ship!

This transport ship with a displacement of more than 1,500 tons is called the Big Fish by Yaya.

It looks like a big fish that has eaten its fill.

Although its name is a bit silly, it does not prevent everyone who sees it from showing unspeakable amazement.

Many members of the Bay Leader who have not learned the "buoyancy" course are constantly admiring the power of magic.

Next to the Big Fish, six brand-new magic warships were also covered with thick iron armor.

Their defense capabilities increased by nearly 3 times, but their weight only increased by 0.5 times, and their speed only decreased by 20%, completing a comprehensive upgrade.

Of course, in order to drive this warship with a displacement of more than 300 tons, it can gallop quickly on the sea.

The Bay Territory specially installed a large steam engine for it, which was contributed by the Yaoyue Family.

Carlos, who contributed the drawings, forced himself not to think about why steel can float on the water.

He looked at the boxes of supplies and asked curiously:

"Why do you need to prepare so many combat supplies? Falcico is still peaceful now!"

Shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly, Matthew did not want to tell Carlos about the huge turmoil that was about to occur in Falcico.

No one can guarantee that after seeing this situation, the Yaoyue Family will not compete with the Bay Territory for business.

So Matthew just checked the list and said to him as if nothing had happened:

"There are many hills and woodlands over there, and the dragon disaster is still raging, so combat supplies are still very popular."

"Also, several big customers have already placed orders, and 1/2 of the gold coins have been paid. We just need to deliver the goods over."

After simply calculating the value of the goods, Carlos showed undisguised envy in his eyes, and then asked expectantly:

"The training effect of the last battle was good. When will we arrange it again?"

How can you be addicted to fighting even if you pay money to do so?

Matthew watched the last batch of containers board the ship and said to Carlos as if nothing had happened:

"No problem, the barbarians in the northeast can't wait to rush to our side."

"We have built strongholds and fortresses in various places in the Silver Moon River, which are very suitable for practical training of new recruits."

Carlos nodded excitedly, his eyes fell on the soldiers lined up, and asked excitedly:

"Are these soldiers the elites going to the New World?"

Matthew looked at the new batch of transformed warriors, smiled and nodded and said:

"Yes, they need stronger enemies and harder battles to hone and improve themselves."

Carlos was speechless. He really couldn't figure out why these elite warriors in the Gulf didn't stay well?

He didn't know that the real elite can only be forged in the flames of war.

Matthew recalled the situation in the New World and said in his heart:

"The demons in the New World are a good group of opponents!"
