Chapter 1496: Gunpoint
On a small-scale battlefield, a Bailian Realm warrior can fight ten enemies at once and kill them quickly, changing the situation on the opposite main flagship deck.
He killed a Da Zhou soldier with one sword. Just as the enemy captain was about to pounce on the next target, a strong sense of crisis suddenly made his hair stand on end! He didn't have time to think about it. He made a prompt decision and quickly rolled to the side.
Almost at the same time, a gunshot was heard in the distance. A shot missed and hit the deck directly, splashing a piece of wood...
"Another attack of this kind!"
The enemy captain noticed the attack and turned around suddenly. His bloodstained face was full of ferocity, like a demon! However, on the deck where he was, there was no trace of the enemy at all.
Then the enemy captain reacted quickly and swept towards another ship not far away.
Sure enough, at this moment, the deck of the ship had been completely taken over by the soldiers of the Great Zhou, and one of the musketeers was leaning against the railing in a posture of holding a gun and firing.
After the shot, he immediately turned around, slid down, and sat down behind the railing, loading bullets and gunpowder as quickly as possible.
This situation made the enemy captain feel annoyed.
In order to avoid collisions and accidents during navigation, ships will not get too close to each other under normal circumstances.
Although the physical fitness of the warriors in the Hundred Refining Realm is far superior to that of ordinary soldiers, they are now helpless when faced with enemy soldiers squatting on the deck of a distant ship and attacking them with long-range weapons.
During this period, the musketeers from the Great Zhou side apparently realized that this was a breakthrough.
The musketeers who came with the ship used the deck of the ship as their firing position. Looking at the muskets that were constantly being set up on the opposite deck, the enemy captain's heart couldn't help but beat violently.
Before he could think more, continuous sniping attacks broke out.
Even though the warriors in the Hundred Refinements Realm reacted quickly, they were still put in a very awkward situation by these matchlock rifles.
While dodging left and right, the enemy captain saw the deck hatch and had no time to think, he just leaped in.
At this moment, he who rushed into the boat could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
As a result, he only breathed a sigh of relief for two seconds before he quickly realized something was wrong.
If I rushed into the ship, wouldn't that be the same as handing over the deck area to the other side? Wouldn't the other side's soldiers frantically land and directly occupy the deck?
Realizing this, the enemy captain quickly leaned out to take a look.
It turned out that there was a gun waiting for him on the deck of the opposing ship.
As soon as he stuck his head out, he heard a gunshot! He reacted quickly and immediately retracted his head. The thrilling scene made him break out in a cold sweat.
He still vividly remembered the scene of the soldier on the deck being shot in the head. He didn't think his head was much harder than that of an ordinary soldier.
And just now, he had seen many enemy soldiers taking advantage of the opportunity and quickly climbing onto the deck on this side.
At this moment, the whole situation is simply terrible.
The feeling of powerlessness that he had felt when the two fleets clashed before suddenly came to his mind again at this moment.
Although the battle was not over yet, his defeat seemed to be an established fact, which made him feel desperate.
During this process, four Da Zhou speedboats led by Bai Tu had already approached.
At the same time, farther away, the eleven Great Zhou clippers commanded by Lin Youshu also successfully sank the five Patton clippers and began to turn around and come over to provide support.
At this time, there were only two paths left for the enemy captain.
Either surrender or fight to the death! As this thought flashed through his mind, the enemy captain's eyes quickly became firm.
After taking a deep breath, he resolutely clenched the sword in his hand.
After such a devastating defeat, even if he survived, he could not escape the blame.
His fate probably won't be any better by then.
In comparison, if he died in battle, his wife and children would at least be treated well because of his death...
With this thought in mind, the enemy captain burst out at the fastest speed and rushed out of the cabin in one breath.
At that moment, the sunlight shone on him, and waiting for him on the deck were the black muzzles of guns!
"Fire!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Following an order, continuous gunshots soon echoed in the area.
At this moment, not only were the musketeers on the deck sniping at him, but the musketeers on other decks were also aiming at this side.
After a burst of gunfire, a soldier from the front row holding a sword and shield looked at the enemy captain lying on the deck covered in blood, and the horror on his face took a long time to subside.
"This guy was shot several times, but he was still able to chop down five or six of our brothers in a row..."
"He consciously protected his vital parts. Although he was shot, it was not enough to kill him on the spot."
The musketeer in the back row pointed out the key in one sentence.
In this kind of small-scale armed conflict, if a team of soldiers had risked their lives to provide support and cover for the Hundred Refinements Realm warrior in front of them, they would have been unable to stop the attack just now without losing a dozen or twenty brothers.
Even if there is a slight mistake, there is a possibility of being overwhelmed by the enemy.
Fortunately, the other enemy soldiers on the ship were almost completely eliminated.
Although the opponent is strong, two fists cannot beat four hands, not to mention that they have so many guns.
"Go and see if he is dead."
Hearing this, the Great Zhou sword and shield soldiers standing in front suddenly became nervous.
The musketeer who noticed this was speechless.
"Don't worry, I've got my gun pointed at his head. If he moves, I'll shoot him right away."
Obviously, while he was speaking, his hands were not idle at all. In this moment, he had completed loading another round of gunpowder bullets.
After hearing this, the sword and shield soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately felt more confident.
He maintained the action of holding the shield and knife, and approached cautiously. He fiddled with the knife a few times, and seeing no response, he checked his pulse, breathing and heartbeat, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dead."
This made the Great Zhou soldiers on the deck feel relieved.
But he did not forget to add another blow, directly chopping off the opponent's head to ensure that the opponent was killed completely.
During this period, although they were not sure whether the person in front of them was the commander of the opposing fleet, judging from his attire and considering his strength at the Hundred Refining Realm level, even if he was not the commander, his status must be high.
So at this moment, they hung the head directly on the flagpole of the ship and shouted loudly...
"The enemy general is dead! You won't be killed if you surrender!!"
"The enemy general is dead! Surrender and you won't be killed!!!"
“…”
