(Airships don't actually have cannons. They only have those ballistae in terms of artillery really, at best they would only have gattling guns on the side. Those wouldn't do much to a skyship, and would run low on ammunition pretty quickly. When you said that they were firing at the ships I assumned you meant the soldiers with their guns. And as to the armours, skypirates also use swords. When up close, they could use their blades to get inside the chinks in the armour, killing the soldiers.)

Although the pirates were few in number, they had managed to take down more soldiers than there were of them. The main reason for the attack was not to kill the soldiers on board, it was more to crash into the ship with their own one.

The last few pirates realised that they were going to be slaughtered, and fought with all the more vigour. Even so, they would be finished off fairly quickly.
