Fear is the Most Powerful Weapon
On the surface of the sea, the pirates who had been gathered by the Zheng Clan and the Arabs with their bounty began to flee.
Even the Zheng family's ship had begun to escape. What reason did these pirates who came for the bounty have to persist?
When Zhang Xun saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
As expected!
Although there were more than 100,000 people in this motley crew, they could not fight a tough battle.
They fought with the wind, robbed money, and robbed women. These people were the most ferocious pirates.
However, if it was a headwind battle!
They would immediately choose to save their lives. They would definitely not risk their lives for a little reward!
"Don't chase the other ships! Everyone, turn to the Grand Dhow!!”
"Put on the grapeshot!"
Zhang Xun immediately issued a new order.
On the left flank of the Arab-Zheng alliance, the hundred Chinese sailboats had turned tail and fled, while the twenty-three warships of the Zhang Clan had lined up in two neat rows and charged at the outnumbered fleet like ferocious lions pouncing on a flock of sheep.、
The True God warriors of an Arabian Dhore who were treated as prey had witnessed the tragic end of the Magic Snake.
Magic Snake was still on fire…
As such, the True God's warriors were scared out of their wits. They did not dare to place their hopes on the True God's blessings anymore. They quickly ordered the surrounding sailboats to delay Zhang Xun's fleet.
However, none of the Chinese sailboats, be it the Zheng family or the pirates they hired, dared to step forward.
The leaders of these ships had witnessed how the Demon Snake Haddadi had been burned into meat and how Zhou Yougu had been chopped into meat paste!
It was impossible for them to die now.
After all, they were just a group of pirates, not an army with strict discipline.
No one was willing to throw their lives away, so the dhow could only turn its bow and try to escape. It even used Wrath to shoot at Sea Dragon, who was charging at it.
However, at a distance of a thousand meters, even the three-bow ballistae was like an arrow at the end of its flight.
Not to mention piercing through the deck, it hit the bow and fell back into the sea with a plop.
"Rocket! Use the rockets!"
A bearded Arab at the bow of the ship roared, ordering a group of panicked warriors to switch to firing rockets.
The so-called arrow was not the kind that would cause flames to rise from the butt. Instead, the arrow shaft was wrapped in sackcloth and soaked in kerosene. After being lit, it would be shot out by a bow.
However, the arrow wrapped in coarse cloth and emitting flames could not shoot far. The air resistance was too great.
After hitting the deck of the ship, it bounced off and fell into the sea. However, a rocket fell on the deck. A few Zhang family soldiers rushed over with wooden barrels filled with sand and put out the fire with a puff sound.
Sea Dragon was extremely fast, and it instantly cut into the side of the dhow.
"Hurry up! Quickly set up the crossbows!"
The big-bearded man hurriedly urged.
However, it was too late!
The captain of the Sea Dragon, Zhang Deyi, who was also the commander of the Navy Division of the Grand Governor's Office, issued the order for the design!
The six bronze cannons that weighed 1.5 kilograms spat out flames at the same time.
The pitch-black muzzle spewed out a fatal metal storm!
This time, it was a shotgun!
It was also known as a grape bullet. It was made from a thin iron sheet and was filled with 500 small iron bullets!
The gunpowder propelled the iron cylinder at high speed in the barrel. The moment it came out of the muzzle, the thin iron sheet could not withstand the pressure and exploded!
The 500 iron bullets lost their restraints and instantly formed a rain of death bullets that swept over!
The deck of the triangular sail instantly turned into a terrifying hell.
The bearded man, who had been shouting and yelling at the command post, was swept by a shotgun. The heart protection mirror on his chest was shattered, and a bowl-sized wound appeared on his chest. His internal organs had been crushed by the iron bullet. His lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, and even pieces of his stomach spurted out with blood!
This bearded man was considered lucky.
Because even more people were directly beaten into minced meat!
There were also some lucky ones who were lucky enough to escape the bullets, but they were so scared that they sat on the deck with their mouths wide open. They couldn't even shout. They were already scared out of their wits, and some of them even had yellow liquid flowing down their crotch.
They were only pirates, how could they withstand such tragic casualties?
"The grapeshot is still the best!"
Zhang Xun realized that even though he was facing such a tragic scene, his heart was actually unmoved.
The experiences of these years had long turned his nerves into steel bars.
"Go around this spinnaker and fire another round of grapeshot. Then, let the Haishou behind capture it!”
The deck of this sailboat had only been cleaned up with shotgun shells. Although many people had died, the hull was basically intact. It was still valuable.
"After capturing the pirates, Haitao and this spinnaker will form a two-ship formation to chase away the scattered pirates.”
...
"A true god…The heretics actually controlled the heavenly lightning?!”
On the Arabian Sea, Abdel Ali's face was gloomy, his heart bleeding.
In less than the time for an incense stick to burn, two spinnakers under his command were destroyed, and the entire left wing collapsed!
The chaos on the left wing quickly spread to the middle and right wings like a plague!
"Beat the drum! Attack!"
Zhang Xun saw this trend and immediately sent out a signal!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A few fire arrows shot into the sky!
The other hundred ships of the Zhang Family Army also charged at the enemy.
How could those pirates who had been put together at the last minute still dare to fight!
What they didn't know was that those hundred ships didn't have much combat power. However, no one dared to touch the Zhang Family's Army's tiger whiskers!
"It's over, it's over!"
"We were tricked! I came prepared!"
"A few dozen warships are already good at fighting. What if a hundred ships come?”
For a moment, panic spread in the hearts of the pirates. All the pirates and sailors 'minds were buzzing. They only wanted to escape. The farther they ran, the better!
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Quickly turn the helm!"
The Abba-Zheng Clan alliance had completely collapsed!
