When the ship rushed out of the encirclement at a speed of 160 knots, Lu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. His slightly relaxed expression did not let anyone see it. [No pop-up novel website]
From the head start when riding a phantom pony, to the intimidation of the enemy by two people chopping up the suspension bridge, to the time difference that did not give Clifford a chance to persuade, and finally the mysterious use of fireballs to ignite the sails, and the throwing of spears to kill The captain who was ready to bombard him was ruthless and calculated every step of the way.
Lu Yuan actually tried his best to break out of the siege with the "Elona", and it was far from being as easy as he saw. However, luck still accounts for a large part of being able to successfully launch the "short-term breakthrough" skill to break through.
The fact is that the situation is quite complicated. Within ten minutes from the time he appeared to the time he left, Lu Yuan's assistant brain was running at full speed, collecting and calculating the reactions of everyone in the room. Who should take action to inflict the greatest shock, and what should be said to Clifford so that he would not have time to command. All of them were precisely calculated. The seemingly random actions were actually an accurate manipulation of the group psychology.
After all, a single person fighting against a large fleet is just a fantasy, and it is impossible for a single ship to do so. Maybe given him a few weeks, and with the full force of magic, he and Li Huamei could really kill everyone in this large fleet. But if you want to rescue more than a hundred people and the complete "Elona", it is really wishful thinking.
Fortunately, everything went well, and now, Lu Yuan can finally breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't rush in with the "Blue Bird" before, but spent a lot of time casting spells. Another reason was to leave behind "short-term breakthrough", an active skill that could play a decisive role.
When Li Huamei settled John and the crew members and stepped back onto the deck, Lu Yuan asked loudly, "How are they?" After the breakout, Li Huamei took hundreds of sailors and settled on the gun deck. After a while, Lu Yuan will use seawater to make some healing potions. Most of these people can be cured and recovered, which is why he doesn't need to listen to Clifford's nagging. Lu Yuan's alchemy level was far beyond this era. If it weren't for the lack of basic raw materials on the ship, he could even prepare a potion that could directly heal these people.
However, Li Huamei did not answer his question. She pointed behind Lu Yuan in surprise, "Brother Lu, what's going on?" Lu Yuan turned around. I saw that the British flagship Clifford was on, the "hms. Bellona", had been following the ship silently! Less than four hundred feet away from the Aerona!
"It seems that our opponent is very difficult to deal with!" Lu Yuan complained casually, and suddenly made a full right rudder! . The other party's calculations were so deep, he had already guessed that it would not be so easy to get rid of him. Ten minutes have not passed yet, and the ship is still within the time limit of the "short-term breakthrough" skill.
The "Elona" is still racing at a speed of 160 knots, which is 300 kilometers per hour! This speed will not exceed Lu Yuan's reaction range. What's more, this is an open sea, and he can gallop as much as he wants.
But the ship behind was gone.
They were able to catch up with the "Elona" because of the effect of magic, but they obviously didn't expect to experience such high speed! The "hms. Bellona" couldn't stop, and they were also riding a tiger with difficulty...
Now, when Lu Yuan turned the starboard rudder full, causing the ship to turn a sharp ninety-degree turn, he could see people falling off the side of the ship like dumplings on the ship that was following the turn. More people crashed their heads on various obstacles! But what a pity - that ship, like a tarsal maggot, made exactly the same move, and the distance between it and the "Elona" did not change at all!
What's even more troublesome is that during this process, four gun ports were opened on both sides of its forward sprit, and eight larger cannons were pushed out! The "hms. Bellona" has only seventy-two cannons on board. In the case of "insufficient artillery", it actually arranged eight "pursuit cannons"! This unreasonable artillery layout. It just shows that this kind of bombardment is not simple, and it is probably also assisted by high-hitting magic! Lu Yuan suddenly had a huge headache!
"Hua Mei!" Lu Yuan frowned, "We are in trouble. The stern of the ship will be bombarded at any time. Please go down to the cabin immediately and move all the patients in the captain's cabin to the front of the ship! At most you have Less than three minutes. If they fire now, I’m half sure to dodge. If they wait until the skill ends before shooting, I’m less than 20% sure to dodge.”
"Um". Li Huamei didn't need to say anything and stepped directly into the cabin. The situation of the "Elona" was much better. When she was traveling at high speed, a transparent film seemed to be wrapped around the ship. Divide the inside and outside of the ship into two worlds. Neither the inertia of motion nor the strong wind caused by speed can affect the interior of the ship. When the ship turned sharply, the patients were lying on their beds, as stable as usual.
But the boat behind was obviously not good enough. When Lu Yuan started a roller coaster-like performance, the people on the boat behind were immediately tortured to the point of death! The more than ten nautical miles the two ships traveled were filled with crew members thrown off the HMS Bellona. They struggled in the sea and called for help, but were swallowed up by the sea not long after.
Lu Yuan knew how heavy the losses on the ship behind him were, but it was a pity... He sighed! Ten minutes are about to come to an end, but that guy Clifford is obviously extremely ruthless. He would rather suffer heavy casualties and still keep the artillery from firing!
"Prepare for bombardment!" Lu Yuan yelled, and the sound spread throughout the battleship. He could only prepare for the worst. The crew members who heard it silently grabbed whatever they could around them with their hands, or simply stuck themselves somewhere, waiting for the impact.
At the moment when time came to an end, the speed of the "Elona" suddenly slowed down. Lu Yuan suddenly turned the wheel and subconsciously made the ship dodge to the left! Almost at the same time, violent shelling sounded. The bow of the "hms. Bellona" behind it sprayed eight angry flames forward!
As soon as the ship of the "Elona" left the control of the skill, it immediately began to turn hard. Four solid shells hit the stern rudder accurately. The "breaking leg" tactic was not Lu Yuan's patent. But Lu Yuan's divinely assisted steering this time allowed the wheel rudder to avoid this design. With violent bombardment and vibration, the captain's cabin, which replaced the wheel rudder, was penetrated by three cannonballs and instantly turned into a ruin!
At this time, the second batch of four chain bombs launched (in order to balance the torque of the hull, the pursuit cannon can only be fired in a symmetrical and batched manner). The four chain bombs are also approaching the ship. The chain bombs are chained to two larger than the caliber of the gun bore. Small cannonballs are connected in series. After being fired, one cannonball will drag the other cannonball out centrifugally, thus tearing a big hole in the sail or tearing the rigging. With luck, it can even be broken. The mast disables the enemy ship.
However, the "hms. Bellona"'s four chain bullets with magic bonus all flew towards the mast with great accuracy, with a posture that could flatten three masts of the "Elona" in one go!
Lu Yuan took a long breath and completely forgot about the destroyed captain's cabin beneath him.
He held the wheel in his hand and swayed out a shadow, "Minus five, plus two, plus three..." In the continuous sound of "kata kata", the wheel rudder continued to rotate forward and backward, and the 120-scale "rock" "The wheel rudder played its greatest role at this time, controlling the ship to an extremely delicate level!
The "Alona" twisted its hull left and right like a dolphin. The first chain bomb missed the main mast and only tore a large triangular hole in the sail. The ship's speed dropped slightly... The second chain bomb came from The main mast and foremast flew directly over, tearing off two cables, leaving no damage... The third bomb struck menacingly at the root of the main mast, and Lu Yuan resolutely turned to let the hull and chain bomb fly in the direction. In a straight line, use your body to block the flight path of the chain bullet! ——The chain bullet then hit Lu Yuan hard on the back!
At that moment, Clifford on the HMS Bellona was so frightened that he could hardly believe his eyes! But before he could be overjoyed, he saw that the chain bomb had exhausted its kinetic energy and crashed onto the deck... The shell that could break a bowl-sized mast into two pieces actually left Lu Yuan unscathed!
But Lu Yuan was not at ease. The "Pan Rock" steering wheel, which was originally full of protective energy, suddenly fell to the bottom!
Lu Yuan was also hit against the wheel rudder by the residual impact, and lost control of the wheel rudder for a moment. But just a little bit, he could only watch the last shot of the chain bullet hit the rear mast with a "click"!
The moment the chain touched the mast, the two iron balls quickly circled the mast twice and were tied to the mast. Huge kinetic energy was transmitted to the wood, and a cracking sound was heard. It directly severed one third of the top of the back mast!
Lu Yuan shook his head, in order to prevent the fallen mast from being entangled in other masts by the wind and causing greater damage. He fired all eight tentacles and immediately tore off the broken mast and threw the involved parts into the sea.
This round of attacks caused the ship's speed to drop by nearly 20%!
Fortunately, the most important wheel rudder was not damaged. Lu Yuan was relieved... With the current manpower, he could barely sail the ship, but he would be completely unable to repair the ship...
However, the "hms. Bellona" dared to catch up alone? This is an opportunity!
But when he turned his head and looked behind him, wanting to lead Li Huamei to the other side's ship and kill all the remaining people... he was surprised to find that Clifford was actually commanding the "hms. Bellona" "He turned around and ran away, and he had already escaped two hundred meters away! ...Lu Yuan suddenly felt a severe headache!
We are not afraid of heaven and earth, we are only afraid of the rogues being educated.
When he couldn't afford it the most, Clifford chose the brown sugar tactic.
