Chapter 1763 The Burning Island
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of cannons, fireballs kept rising on the distant sea, and then streaked across the dark night sky, leaving gorgeous tracks and hitting the island hard.
It's like the anger of the gods punishing the world descends from the sky, carrying furious flames and burning everything in the world...
"Boom boom boom!"
Muffled sounds echoed on the island one after another, and flames soared into the sky. Before the sleeping pirates knew what was happening, they were destroyed by the violent thunder god. Either they were crushed to death by the collapsing buildings, or they were wailing in pain in the flames that swept everything...
With his eyes about to burst, Mr. Wang got up from the ground and shouted wildly: "Hide into the sea!"
The flames falling from the sky really seemed to come from hell. Wherever the sparks splashed, there were curling tongues of fire and thick smoke, and even stones could burn!
He took the lead and ran towards the shore, leading a handful of pirates who were closer to the seaside. They rushed out of the flames in panic, intending to jump into the sea, but found that there were already groups of heavy armored warriors in black, gray and black armor holding horizontal knives and spears arrayed on the shore. Waiting for...
Boss Wang's chest seemed to have been hit hard by an invisible hammer, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Royal Navy!
No one knows better than him that these demon-like soldiers in black helmets are the heavy infantry of the Royal Navy! It was this group of ferocious and invincible killing gods who wiped out the pirate gang that had destroyed him after forcefully landing. Countless brave and fierce pirates rushed forward one after another, but they were slaughtered like melons and vegetables!
Swords, spears, swords and halberds were useless against them. The iron armor that covered their bodies, even their heads and faces, was invulnerable. The powerful bows and crossbows only left shallow marks on their bodies.
In land battles, this is an invincible existence!
However...how is this possible?
Didn’t the Royal Navy go north to Goguryeo?
How could he come here without being noticed?
If the Royal Navy had already detected the movement here, why didn't they show up when the pirates attacked the merchant fleet during the day? At that time, there was a melee between the two sides. If the Royal Navy joined the battle, the pirates led by him would be defeated more easily and completely...
He couldn't allow him to think too much. He fell down, but the pirates around him still rushed over. However, before they could rush forward, a row of crossbows rose into the air behind the array of heavy armored soldiers, with sharp arrows carrying huge cannons. The power roared and pierced into the pirates' bodies one by one.
The pirates fell down like wheat...
Painful howls rang in Boss Wang's ears. His eyes were full of despair. The Royal Navy was too powerful. Even though they were invulnerable in heavy armor, they didn't even give them a chance to fight in close combat.
Boss Wang was hesitant and at a loss when a stray arrow suddenly penetrated his chest. The sharp arrow ripped apart the flesh, smashed the sternum, tore the internal organs, and penetrated into the body. Boss Wang lowered his head in astonishment, and could only see a section of white feather trembling in his chest, followed by a heartbreaking pain.
With a howl of "ah", he found that all the strength in his body was drained out in an instant, and his body fell heavily to the ground. His eyes reflected the flames in the sky, but he had no strength to scream, and he was even more unable to stand up...< br>
*****
On the battleship on the shore, Su Dingfang, Wang Xuance, Liu Renyuan and others looked at the island that was like a sea of fire. They were all dumbfounded and gasped from time to time...
The power of the God of Fire is so terrifying!
Su Dingfang swallowed, and even his voice trembled slightly: "This, this, this... can be so powerful as a prison, how can it be owned by the human world?"
When he saw the dark iron bullets called "incendiary bombs" made by the Foundry Bureau before, he didn't feel much abnormal, but he just heard Fang Jun say that they were different from the previous solid iron bullets, and It is a cast hollow bullet, and the gunpowder launches the "incendive bomb" At the same time, the fuse on the "incendiary bomb" has been ignited. After the "incendiary bomb" flies over the enemy or falls into the enemy's formation, the fuse burns out and detonates the gunpowder in the hollow bomb. The gunpowder explodes and is ignited by the material soaked in kerosene. Sputter out...
How terrible!
Su Dingfang watched helplessly as an incendiary bomb passed over the house on the coast and landed on the rocks behind. After the explosion, the sparks sprayed out and enveloped the surroundings. It burned blazingly on the rocks and smoke rose. It has not been extinguished yet... …
Look at the pirates struggling and wailing in the sea of fire and rolling on the ground. The flames clinging to their bodies are like maggots on the tarsus. They cannot be shaken off or extinguished. They will not be extinguished until all the fat, skin, flesh and bones on their bodies are burned away. .
The island in front of me has already turned into the legendary eighteen levels of hell, and even the air on the sea is filled with the aroma of barbecue...
Dizzy and nauseating!
How tragic is this...
The bombardment had ceased, but the flames on the island still burned brightly.
It wasn't until the eastern sky was already bright that the flames gradually extinguished, and the pirate house was filled with smoke and silence.
Hoplites and crossbowmen closely guarded the coast line, and all the pirates who fled here were killed. The island was a huge rock protruding from the sea. Except for the gentle terrain on this side of the bay, the other three sides were full of cliffs. As well as the rugged rocks corroded by sea water, and without ships, there is no way to escape.
When it was daylight, Su Dingfang waved his hand, and the soldiers landed from the battleship and began to search the entire island.
After all, some fish slipped through the net, but the navy had no intention of leaving any survivors this time, so as not to spread the huge power of the tested incendiary bombs. This is a secret weapon for conquering Goguryeo, and it has not yet been released, so Even those who were gasping for air were killed with one blow.
In the past two years, the navy soldiers have been fighting in the north and south, and they have fought many fierce battles. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have killed many people. Which soldier does not have a few lives on his hands? But even with the character and toughness tempered by such battles, he couldn't help but retching when faced with the fragrant grilled corpses under the ruins.
Some people even vomited it out on the spot...
Su Dingfang accompanied Fang Jun and walked up to the pirates. Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, he smiled bitterly and said: "After this great victory, I will go back to celebrate and reward the soldiers. I am afraid I will save a lot of money."
Liu Renyuan was holding a horizontal sword and watched the surroundings vigilantly, lest any fish slip through the net and injure Fang Jun. He asked curiously: "Why is this? This victory has wiped out all the large-scale pirates in the East China Sea. From now on, Although the East China Sea route cannot be said to be smooth sailing, , but there are only a few pirates left, and they have become useless. Even your majesty will reward you for such great achievements, and naturally the navy will reward them greatly. But you must not be greedy for saving money, otherwise you will chill the soldiers. our hearts.”
If you make mistakes, you will be punished, and if you do merit, you will be rewarded. The navy's military discipline is strict and cumbersome. From top to bottom, no one dares to exceed it.
Su Dingfang searched the surroundings with his eyes and sighed: "It's not that I am stingy, it's just that even if I kill pigs and sheep and reward them generously, who else can eat the meat?"
Wang Xuance, who was following behind, heard this and looked at the corpses roasted into black charcoal in front of him. The smell of meat penetrated his nose, and then he thought about the pieces of fragrant meat on the table...
"Ugh!"
This great god, who was far from reaching the level of "one man destroying a country", squatted aside and vomited.
Liu Renyuan curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Look at your little potential! Aren't you just a few roasted dead? When I was young, there was a severe drought in Longyou, and the food harvest was cut off. I didn't even know how much bark and grass roots were eaten. Those People who are about to starve to death will smuggle the dead bodies lying on the roadside or in mass graves back to their homes, wash and cook them, and then eat them deliciously. ”
He was saying sarcastic words, but his stomach was spasming in waves. He had to grit his teeth and resist the feeling of vomiting...
Fang Jun kicked him, his black face full of annoyance, and cursed: "Mom! Shut up, do you want to disgust someone to death or something?"
Liu Renyuan smiled and shut up quickly. He was also disgusted...
At this time, a soldier from the front ran quickly and reported from a distance: "Master Marquis, Governor, my subordinates found several children of aristocratic families who were captured by pirates from the cave behind! I think they were left alive by the pirates. Prepare I will ask for ransom money in the future.”
Su Dingfang asked: "Where are the people?"
The soldier said: "I have brought it here."
As he spoke, a few more soldiers escorted a few tied-up people from behind.
The gorgeous clothes on those people were already in tatters, and their hair and face were unkempt, like lost dogs, but they were still shouting loudly: "Let me go, do you know who I am?"
"Even the second roommate has to call me father-in-law when he sees me. How dare you be rude to me?"
"Untie me quickly, or I'll make you look good!"
Su Dingfang and Liu Renyuan looked at each other. How could they capture Fang Jun's father-in-law?
