Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Storms at Sea

The sails are full, the boat is moving fast, and now we can see each other clearly from the bow.When they were far away, they couldn't tell how many pirates there were, but now they saw a sail, and there were at least a dozen of them.Although these boats were not as big as the boat we were on, they turned nimbly.It’s just that for some reason, it seems that we are approaching them, and they don’t seem to be heading towards us, but just turning around in place. I was a little bit surprised when Pu Shifang breathed a sigh of relief from the side: "It turns out that the captain of Wufeng is robbing merchants. That's good, if we bypass them, they probably won't catch up." He turned to a soldier beside him and said : "Send the order to let the helmsman turn five degrees to the right."

Although I also know that what Pu Shifang said is the best policy, but I always feel a little uncomfortable.I said, "What ship did they grab?" Pu Shiban set up the awning to look at it, and said, "I still can't see clearly, I'll go up and have a look." Pu Shifang moved quickly, climbed up to the watchtower again, took a look and then came down.When he came down, his face was full of joy, and he said: "Excellent, it is a Japanese ship that was besieged by Captain Wufeng." The Japanese and the Juluo people are feuds, not to mention that Juluo Island was almost wiped out by the Japanese last year, no wonder Pu Shifang took pleasure in other people's misfortune.I was a little surprised, and said: "What's going on? Didn't you say that Captain Wufeng was supported by the Japanese?"

"Who knows, people like Captain Wufeng are ungrateful, and if they have milk, they are mothers. They must have fallen out with the Japanese." Pu Shifang said, wiped his sweat with his hands, and said with a smile: "While they are fighting Inextricably linked, we're just getting there." Do you ignore them?Although I know what Pu Shifang said is right, we are not as strong as Captain Wufeng, the best way is not to interfere.I looked there, the pirate ships were not big, but the one in the middle was bigger.At this time the pirates surrounded the boat, although they couldn't hear the sound, they could still see the sails swaggering, the waves beat the sky, and the fight was fierce.

As I was watching, Pu Shifang frowned suddenly, and said, "No! Captain Wufeng sent five ships to us!" Needless to say, I saw it too. Among the pile of pirate ships, five of them suddenly jumped out and headed straight for us.I said, "Are they trying to rob us?" Pu Shifang said: "They probably didn't realize that we are warships. When we get close, give them a little bit of strength, so that they will retreat in the face of difficulties." Those five boats were not big, they came by the wind and waves, the speed of the boats was extremely fast, and there was a long white mark trailing at the stern.But each boat can only hold fifty or sixty people at most, and the five boats together are only twice as many as us. Although they are faster than us, they probably can't pose any threat.But Pu Shifang said that they may not have discovered that our ship is a battleship, is this true?Warships have horns, but merchant ships don't. This can be seen at a glance, and not all pirates are people who can't see far away.I touched the waist knife and said: "General Pu, the situation seems to be a little bit wrong."

Pu Shifang's complexion also sank a bit, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, Captain Wufeng seems to want to take us down. Come here, shoot them a few arrows, and remind them." Because the Thunderbolt Crossbow was relatively heavy and inflexible in movement, there were only eight Thunderbolt Crossbows on board, and they were all installed on both sides of the bow at this time.Pu Shifang sent the order down, and the soldier on the left agreed, buckled the thunder crossbow and fired it.Although their crossbow skills are not as superb as those of the Fire Legion, they can be considered remarkable, but they are still far apart. More than half of the eight thunder crossbows shot in the air, and the other half hit either the middle sail or the middle boat gang, so there was no threat.

Pu Shifang rubbed his hands together and said, "They should know this time." Maybe the owner of Wufeng knew it. The five ships slowed down at the same time, as if they were discussing something. Suddenly, the five ships moved forward again, and five or six ships were separated from the pirate group. There are only about 20 pirates in total, and half of them have been divided at this time.I was taken aback and said, "General Park, they want to take us down!" Pu Shifang frowned, and said: "Yes, that's weird, is Captain Wufeng tired of work?" I clenched the handle of the knife tightly, and said: "General Pu, it's not too late, I want the Qianfeng camp to be on full alert."

Pu Shifang also seemed to be a little out of sorts. Captain Wufeng's behavior was beyond his expectation, so he must have lost his mind.He thought for a while and said, "Okay, General Chu, please be careful, pirates are vicious by nature, so don't be careless." I said: "I know." I was about to go back to the cabin to give orders to Qian Wenyi, when I turned around, I saw Qian Wenyi rushed out of the cabin in a hurry, and shouted: "Control, what happened?" I said: "You came just in time, let the brothers get ready, there are pirates coming." Only then did Qian Wenyi look aside and said, "It's the captain of Wufeng!"

I was taken aback and said, "You know?" I immediately remembered that Qian Wenyi told me that he grew up in a fishing village by the sea.The owner of Wufeng has been on the sea for many years, and Qian Wenyi has probably heard of it.Just thinking about the time when I was seasick, I was so weak, let alone raised the knife, I didn't feel worried and said: "My brothers, don't be careless. How are they in health? Is there anyone who gets seasick?" Qian Wenyi smiled slightly, and said: "Please don't worry, when the governor asked me to choose soldiers, I specially selected those who had been on a boat, and they often gambled and moved their bodies frequently. On the first day when I went to sea, some brothers fainted After getting off the boat, no one got seasick except Tang Kai in the past two days."

It turned out that Qian Wenyi let them gamble money to let them adapt to the boat as soon as possible. This is the same reason as I used sculpture to distract my mind.It's just that Tang Kai has been living in Tianshui Province, and most of the boats he has been on have been in the Yalong River, so this time he may suffer even more.I was a little worried, and said, "Is it okay for him?" Qian Wenyi praised: "This man surnamed Tang is a strong man. Although he vomited upside down, he still held on. He is much better today, and he hasn't vomited. However, I see that his face is not very good. I'm afraid he can't fully adapt to it. .”

I said: "Okay. If Tang Kai is not healthy, let him rest, don't come, other people will come up." Qian Wenyi bowed and said: "I obey!" Then he smiled and said: "It's just that Lord Ding and his companion have suffered a lot, Lord Ding vomited yellow bile, and he hasn't recovered yet. " I couldn't help but smiled, and said: "Let them rest." I squinted my eyes and looked at the approaching pirate ship, and said softly: "There are about three hundred pirates coming, and we and the water There are only more than one hundred and thirty legions in total, can they stop it?"

Qian Wenyi said: "General Chu is too careful. Although there are many pirates, they can't attack them all at once. What are we afraid they will do?" I smiled and said: "That's exactly the reason. Let the brothers show some prestige and show the brothers of the Water Corps that our Vanguard Battalion is not only able to make meritorious deeds on land. It is rampant in the sea, and the first battle is to take this pirate. !" Qian Wenyi responded and went down.He is delicate and steady, and it is indeed more effective than Cao Wendao to bring him out.In just a moment, thirty people had already boarded the deck, and even Tang Kai, who had a bad complexion, was standing in the queue.At this moment, the five ships that the pirate rushed ahead were only a few dozen steps away from the Tian Chi, and they couldn't escape at this time, so Pu Shifang ordered the sails to stop, and turned the bow of the ship to point at the enemy ship.Because the thunder crossbows are all installed on the bow, if the pirates chase us to fight, the thunder crossbows will not be able to exert their power, and the bow of the battleship is much stronger than the stern, Pu Shifang is not chaotic in the face of danger, and his command is proper, as expected of Li Yaotian capable go-getter. A soldier of the water regiment stood on the roof of the cabin and shouted: "Listen to the opposite ship, we are a battleship of the Imperial Navy, what is your intention?" The pirate ships are all about the same size. At this time, you can see that their bows are all inlaid with different statues. The bow of the first ship is inlaid with the head of a wolf with its teeth bared.The two tusks in the wolf's mouth were extraordinarily long, protruding from the mouth, looking very ferocious.From a distance, I saw a person on the boat standing out, stepped on the wolf's head, and shouted: "My lord is Fang Moyun, the flying wolf patrolling the sea under the command of Captain Wufeng. Prey. You lackeys, catch them quickly, and the uncle will give you a whole corpse!" What Fang Moyun said was extremely arrogant, and I was so angry that Qian Wenyi curled his lips and said, "What a big tone." Pu Shifang came over, came to me and said: "General Chu, it seems that this battle is inevitable, you have to be ready." I said: "The vanguard of the pirates must be a brave general. Can you shoot him to death and dampen their spirit?" To be honest, I really want to shoot that pirate with one arrow, but my archery accuracy is really not enough, and the ship is shaking constantly, it is even more difficult to shoot an arrow. If I can hit it with one arrow, it must rely on Nine points of luck.And Qian Wenyi's archery skills are not far behind mine, most of the time he will miss the same shot.At this time, I thought of Cao Wendao, Cao Wendao's archery skills are very good, he might be able to hit it with one arrow.Now you can only rely on the Thunderbolt Crossbow. Pu Shifang shook his head and said: "No, they are not too close now, if they shoot them with the thunder crossbow, they will know our details, and the power of the thunder crossbow cannot be exerted." Indeed, the pirate's ship was smaller than the Tianchi, but also more flexible. They had shot a few arrows with the thunder crossbow before, but they didn't pay attention at that time.Once they found that the Thunderbolts were all mounted on the bow, it would be a headache for them to focus their attack on the stern. Compared to this, shooting this pirate to death was a trivial matter.But seeing the pirate standing on the bow and cursing fiercely, I felt an indescribable anger in my heart.I said, "Then let him go?" Qian Wenyi said: "Control, if you can't bear it, you can make a big mess. General Park, I have a plan. You might as well pretend to agree, let them approach, and then make a surprise attack." I said: "Yes, this is also feasible. General Park, what do you think?" Pu Shifang said: "The two generals are veterans of land warfare, but water warfare is different from land warfare. When the enemy ship approaches, it will use a scrambling hook to hook on our ship. At this time, the two ships are connected and cannot move. , we are confined to this ship, we can only fight the enemy desperately, so we must not let them approach." My heart shivered, and I said: "Yes. Once our ship cannot move, and there are many enemy ships, even if the enemies on this ship are wiped out, they will be able to surround them from all directions. In this way, we can only Did you use a long-distance attack?" Pu Shifang said: "That's the reason. But the pirates will definitely come up, and the boarding battle cannot be avoided. There are only 150 or 60 people on our ship, and there are only 130 people who can fight. General Chu , please take charge of the defense of the stern, and we must not let them attack." He excluded the more than twenty people under Ding Ximing, I couldn't help laughing to myself.Pu Shifang never criticized people, but in his mind, Ding Yushi's twenty-seven people must be there to see.Although I didn't believe what he said was inevitable, I still said: "Okay, General Park, don't worry, I will never let a pirate aboard." The Tianchi is much bigger than the pirate's ship, nearly twenty feet long and stern, and it is the same style as the original Feihu.Because it's too big, it's not easy to guard. They are arranged in a circle around, almost every three people have to guard about one zhang. Pu Shifang divided the water army into two, each guarding one side, and handed over the stern to me. I don't know. Why, he also arranged more than a dozen people on the top of the cabin.I divided the 30 people below Qian Wenyi into two rows, prepared the bows and arrows first, and waited for the pirates to approach, then gave them a little bit of trouble. The pirate's ship was getting closer and closer, and now it was no more than twenty steps away.Now that the appearance of those pirates can be clearly seen, Qian Wenyi whispered: "Why isn't General Park doing anything?" As soon as he finished speaking, Pu Shifang shouted loudly at the bow: "Shoot the arrow!" Pu Shifang always spoke in a gentle manner, his voice was quiet, but he didn't expect that when he gave the order, he seemed to be a different person.Following his order, the thunderbolt crossbow on the left was fired at the same time, and a row of sharp arrows aimed straight at the pirate.Those pirates were all standing on the bow of the ship fiercely. They didn't expect the Thunderbolt Crossbow to be so powerful. They screamed and were shot down five or six times. It was just that Fang Motian was the closest, and an arrow But it shot past him and missed him.Fang Motian was also taken aback. He rolled over in fright and fell down. Several pirate ships were in chaos. Pu Shifang said loudly: "Captain Wufeng, our army has no intention of being an enemy to you, but if you still want to block the way, don't blame us for being ruthless!" Pu Shifang's voice was very loud, and he was very close to them at this time. Fang Motian must have heard it, but he just shouted: "Take the iron shield! The enemy has a strong bow and arrow, use the iron shield!" They still won't let us go.I was even more angry, and said: "Qian Wenyi, let the brothers shoot the arrows, don't let General Park bear the burden alone." Qian Wenyi nodded, and I also picked up a bow and drew it to aim at the nearest enemy ship.The wind at sea is much stronger than that on the shore, and it is more difficult to shoot arrows accurately. But at this time, the enemy ship is only more than 20 steps away from us, and even my hand crossbow can almost hit it.I just drew my bow and pointed at the enemy ship, and I just waited for their heads to come out before I shot the arrow. Unexpectedly, the nearest ship made a "popping" sound, and pieces of boards were erected on the bow. , the side of the ship has increased a bit in the air. This is the iron shield?I took an arrow in my hand and shot it, although the arrow was not as powerful as the Thunder Crossbow, it was also deflected, and it still hit a square board, but was bounced to the side.At this moment, the second wave of Thunderbolt Crossbow has also been fired, only the sound of "Ding Ding Dang Dang" can't be heard, those arrows scattered in all directions, unexpectedly none of them could go in. Those boards are really made of iron!No wonder Pu Shifang said that the boarding battle was inevitable.Pu Shifang is proficient in water warfare, and must be familiar with the strategies used by the pirates. Bows and arrows can only catch them by surprise. To win, they still have to rely on boarding.At this time, everyone in the Qianfeng Battalion also started to shoot arrows, but the arrows only hit the iron shield, which could not threaten them at all.I stopped them and said, "Don't waste your bows and arrows, let them shoot when they come over." If the pirates want to fight on board, they must rush over no matter what.The iron shield is very heavy, they must not be able to carry it, as long as they leave the iron shield, it will be their end.It's just that we don't have many arrows, so we can't waste them.Everyone in the Qianfeng Battalion heard my order, put away their bows and arrows, and stared at the opposite side. The pirate's boat is getting closer and closer, Fang Moyun's boat is the closest, there are only about ten steps left, and it is almost possible to jump over it.Fortunately, the pirates' boats are lower than ours, so it's easy for us to jump over, but it's impossible for them to jump over.At this moment, the figure of the pirate hiding behind can be seen from the iron shield, and I was about to order everyone to shoot arrows, when Pu Shifang shouted: "Quick! Underwater!" He shouted very urgently, and my heart was shocked, I rushed to the side and looked down, I saw a dozen people floating on the sea, swimming towards the Tianchi. The pirate's ship is to draw our attention, and the real attack is underwater!I yelled, "Shoot arrows underwater!" The thunder crossbow was far away but not close. If the pirates wanted to fight on board, they would all be shot to death before reaching the Tianchi. However, when they attacked from underwater, they could only attack the ship.But as pirates, what they want is property. Wouldn't the loss outweigh the gain after scuttling the Tianchi?Anyway, thanks to Pu Shifang who found out in time, if he was approached by pirates, it would be too late to regret. Qian Wenyi has rushed to the side with a group of soldiers.This was not much different from the battle with the Snake Man outside Dongping City. However, although the pirates were good at swimming, they were not as good as the Snake Man. The Snake Man could sneak several feet underwater, but they couldn't.When we found it in time, a burst of arrows shot, and the diving pirates dropped a few corpses, and finally fled back. Watching them escape, Qian Wenyi frowned and said, "What are the pirates trying to do? What hatred do they have with us? They want to drive us all to death." I said, "I can't figure it out either. Maybe..." A soldier next to him suddenly said, "They want to silence them." There was a flash in my mind, and I said: "Yes, most of them want to silence them." "Shukou?" Qian Wenyi was surprised for a while, "We don't know them at all, what are you going to do..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized: "Yes, they want to kill us." According to Pu Shifang, the pirates are supported by the Japanese, but now they are attacking a Japanese ship. Presumably the pirates don't want others to know about this, but we accidentally bumped into each other, so they want to silence our mouths.I looked at the soldier who spoke just now. He was still very young, but I couldn't remember it for a while, so I said to him, "Hey, what's your name?" The man didn't even look at me, he just put an arrow on the bow and said casually: "Little man Jian Zhonglan, control." Jian Zhonglan?I suddenly remembered.He was the soldier who was almost killed by me because he fought with a soldier in the same battalion, hacked his companion, and refused to admit his mistake.That time because of Zhang Longyou's pleading, I spared him, but I also beat him to pieces.His injury has naturally healed now, but his stubborn look has not changed. Seeing that I was paying attention to Jian Zhonglan, Qian Wenyi said in a low voice, "Tong Zhi, although he was not born by the sea, he is good at water, so I ordered him here." Jian Zhonglan's mother is Di Ren, and he should have lived in the northwest area since he was a child. Unexpectedly, his water skills are not bad.I nodded and said: "Everyone, be careful, the pirates will make another plan if they fail." As soon as I finished speaking, there was a sudden "wow" sound from the pirate ship. I was taken aback, but saw the iron shield on the first pirate ship separated from it, revealing several gaps, and three iron anchors flew out of the gap. , flying straight towards our ship. Now the pirate's ship is still more than ten steps away from us. These iron anchors weigh hundreds of catties and are hung with iron chains. The difference is not too far, and three can be thrown at the same time, so there are at least three Hercules? The iron anchor was coming so violently that no one could stop it. Fortunately, it was not thrown towards us, but a soldier at Pu Shifang screamed in pain, fearing that he would be hit by the iron anchor.There was only a "bang", and the iron anchor slammed heavily on the deck, hooking the ship's side at once, and the iron chain was stretched straight.Pu Shifang exclaimed: "Get rid of this chain!" Pirates are going to battle on board!With a chill in my heart, I drew out the Baipi knife, and rushed towards the nearest iron anchor with one stride.Although the iron chain is easier to cut, but the iron chain is too big, I can't reach the iron anchor, although the Baipi knife can be broken, but the iron anchor is so powerful, if I want to cut it with a knife, I'm afraid it won't be enough, but right now Also try. I was about to raise my knife to strike, when Qian Wenyi suddenly screamed: "Control!" He screamed in panic, I glanced out of the corner of my eye, and saw an arrow shooting towards me.The sea breeze was very strong, but this arrow was extremely accurate, and it was directly aimed at my head. Good archery!I sighed inwardly, lowering my head, the arrow flew past my head, pierced deeply into the door panel of the cabin, and the cleavage knife also fell off. With a sound of "dang", the knife slashed on the anchor tooth, but only cut a gap, but failed to cut it off.This iron anchor is too thick, even though the cleavage knife is sharp, it can still cut such a thick iron bar with one knife. I drew out my knife, and was about to make another knife into the gap, but just as I raised the knife, my foot suddenly trembled, and with a "bang", I couldn't stand still, and was so shaken that I fell to the board wall. Everyone on board was shocked. exclaimed. The pirate's ship collided with us. Their boats are smaller, and their decks are about two feet lower than ours. The two boats were joined together, and more than a dozen hooks were flown from the pirate ship, and they were put on the side of the Tianchi, and the two boats were even closer. , but the boat was much more stable.Those pirates shouted loudly, only to hear Pu Shifang shout: "The pirates are coming up! Do it!" When the snake man and us were on board, they had to connect with a springboard. I didn't expect the pirates to fight like this.Now that the two ships are leaning together, the Tianchi cannot escape, but neither can their ships. In this way, the only option is to fight to the death, to kill all the pirates on this ship, otherwise They keep rushing up, and sooner or later we will be wiped out. I only knew that pirates would jump over, so we could use arrows at this time, but in a blink of an eye, with a sound of "huh", a figure flew over my head. Those pirates turned out to be hanging on the rope and swinging here.They were dressed in short clothes, with short knives in their mouths, and they moved extremely nimbly and came very fast. Although we shot a burst of arrows, only three or four pirates fell into the water, and more than half of them jumped onto the roof of the cabin. What a group of lunatics, this kind of fierce battle is only comparable to the snake people.I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. It is useless to cut down the anchor now. Although Pu Shifang has already deployed manpower on the cabin roof, there are so many pirates on the cabin roof at this time. Once they occupy the high place, then Condescending, we really don't know how to deal with it.I jumped up on the fence, kicked on the railing, turned around and jumped to the roof of the cockpit.There are already more than a dozen pirates up there, fighting fiercely with the water army on the top of the cabin. As soon as I jumped on the top of the cabin, a pirate slashed at me.Although his strength is great, his saber technique is very blunt. Although I haven't stood still, I spun my body, half-bent one foot, and swept away with the other. The pirate was knocked down by my kick, and the knife in my hand I also threw it out, and without waiting for him to get up, I flew over and cut his throat with a knife. In just this short moment, the cabin roof was already covered with blood, and many people were dead on top.I was frightened inwardly, and was about to rush forward, when suddenly there was another "bang", which made everyone on the roof unable to stand still. The second boat has also come up.My heart is on fire, there are only twenty or thirty rushing up now, but the pirates keep rushing up like this, how long can we last?The most urgent task is to get rid of these people on the top of the cabin.I swung my sword and rushed towards a pirate. The pirate used two swords. His sword skills were impressive. The two swords flew up and down, forcing a soldier of the water army to parry. I stabbed at him. Slashing from behind, he turned around to block with the saber in his left hand, with a sound of "Dang", the two sabers intersected, and his saber was cut off by Baipi Dao.It seemed that he was also taken aback, I took advantage of the situation to slash with my knife, but he turned over and dodged my knife, the knife in his right hand circled in his hand, and cut the leg of the soldier of the water army who was fighting him. After passing through the opening, he pressed his left hand on the ground, turned over, and stood firmly again. Good knife skills.I couldn't help giving another silent praise, and stretched my left hand to my waist, trying to reach for the hand crossbow.This person's movements are so fast, you can't love to fight with him, you have to fight quickly. As soon as I touched the hand crossbow, I felt a sharp wind coming from behind, and someone shouted: "Die!" The sharp wind was extremely sharp, I was shocked, I didn't care about chasing that person again, I turned around and raised my sword. "Dang" sounded, the two knives intersected, and sparks shot out, but the opponent's knives did not break, but my arm was numb from the shock. The man used an extremely thick knife.At this moment, it was clear that this person was Fang Moyun who called himself Xunhai Flying Wolf. This Fang Moyun is indeed a man of supernatural power, but he is a little worse than Chen Zhong.If it was Chen Zhong who slashed, I couldn't stop it like this, but although Fang Moyun's knife was powerful, I still blocked it. Fang Moyun slashed, seeing that I blocked it, his face showed surprise, and the saber technique was slow. I pulled out the hand crossbow, aimed at his chest and pulled the trigger, and six arrows were shot simultaneously. , right in the middle of Fang Moyun's chest.Fang Moyun yelled and took two steps back from the shock, but he didn't fall down and just stared at me. All six arrows hit, but Fang Moyun didn't shed any blood! This time it was my turn to be startled, but Fang Moyun stopped drinking again, and slashed at the head again.This knife was more powerful than before, and it was struck with both hands holding the knife. I didn't dare to use the Baipi knife to parry, my foot touched the ground, and the person jumped back three feet, Fang Moyun's knife slammed on the deck, Chop a crack in the deck too.Before I could stand still, the pirate rushed over again just now.The man's saber in his left hand was broken, he raised his hand, half of the saber was thrown towards me, I turned my head to the side, the saber flew past my ear, but he jumped up and chopped off his head. These two people, one strong and the other soft, cooperate seamlessly, and they are surprisingly difficult to deal with.My heart froze, and the Baipi knife flew out of my hand.The man didn't expect my knife to fly out of his hand, he was startled, the knife in his hand turned sideways and wanted to check, taking advantage of this moment, I took off the meteor hammer and threw it at him.He was still in the air, how could he dodge this move, the meteor hammer arrived first, and hit his chest with a "bang". Although this hammer was powerful, it didn't hit his fatal spot, but this hammer made his saber skills messy, so he didn't have to use Baipi knife, Baipi knife shot carefully, it hit his heart.Even if he was wearing iron armor, Baipi Knife could penetrate through it, not to mention he was dressed in short clothes, the knife pierced through his heart, he screamed and died instantly. As soon as this man was hit by the saber, Fang Moyun also shouted: "Little brother!" His eyes seemed to burst into flames, and he raised the big knife in his hand, digging out a big hole in the deck, and swept the big knife horizontally.Although this knife is powerful, its speed is greatly reduced.I didn't have time to get back the Baipi knife, the man jumped up, dodged his big knife, raised his right hand, the meteor hammer had already retracted his palm, and threw it towards his face again. This Fang Moyun's ability is not trivial, but if he cares about it, he will be confused. At this time, his sword skills are out of order. I am somewhat sorry to die under the meteor hammer, but Fang Moyun suddenly stretched out his hand, a giant palm Blocking the front door at once, with a "snap", the meteor hammer was caught in his palm. I was taken aback, I didn't expect him to be able to grab the meteor hammer and was about to grab it back with all his strength, when suddenly a figure rushed over behind him, it was the Water Legion soldier who had been stabbed in the leg just now.Although the soldier was hit by a knife in one leg, his movements were not slow, and he threw himself into Fang Moyun's arms, and stabbed Fang Moyun's heart with a knife in his hand.Fang Moyun was holding my meteor hammer in his right hand, and the big knife in his left hand, and he couldn't dodge it. Unexpectedly, he failed to penetrate, but just cut a hole in his coat. Inside, is a shiny black leather armor. It turned out that Fang Moyun's coat was lined with a soft armor, no wonder the hand crossbow and knife couldn't penetrate it.Fang Moyun let go of the knife with his left hand, grabbed the water army soldier's neck, and punched it down with his right hand.His strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, and his fist was as big as a bowl. This punch made the soldier let out a scream, and blood spurted from his mouth and nose.He was about to punch again, but I saw that the situation was not good, I flicked my wrist, the meteor hammer was retracted, and I slammed it. This hammer hit his left temple, with a "bang", Fang Moyun was beaten to the point of blood, screamed, and stretched out his hand to grab it again, but this time I wouldn't let him grab it, and his hand shook , The meteor hammer has returned to my palm, and he caught nothing.Not allowing him to make any more moves, I threw the hammer again.This hammer hit his face, Fang Moyun didn't have a soft armor on his head, how could he withstand these two hammers, his face was covered with blood, and he backed away roaring.He was standing on the side, but he stepped on the ground and fell headlong.Seeing that the situation was not good, I rushed forward, grabbed the soldier's wrist, and suddenly lifted the soldier of the water army, but Fang Moyun turned over the side of the ship and fell into the sea screaming. At this time, all the pirates on the first ship that rushed up were killed by us, and the pirates on the second ship were still fighting with the soldiers below. As Fang Moyun fell into the sea, one pirate froze all over, He threw away the knife in his hand, turned over and jumped into the sea.As if they were connected, another five or six pirates jumped into the sea and fled, and the rest had no fighting spirit and were killed in a short time. At this time, the pirate's third ship was approaching, and we only lost about a dozen people.Seeing this scene, the pirates on the third ship couldn't help being stunned. They must have never expected that our counterattack would be so fierce, and they could kill the pirates on the two ships so quickly. At this time, Pu Shifang was knocking over a pirate, and said loudly: "Captain Wufeng, if you don't know the current affairs, you will inevitably fail in this battle!" Although the pirates had the upper hand in numbers, they could only come up one by one. Pu Shifang's command was firm, and the people on board were not chaotic at all.The ship didn't throw the hook again for a while, as if it was discussing something.I jumped off the roof and went back to the stern.It was an emergency just now, and I didn't care about fighting with the Qianfeng Battalion. When I returned to the team, I saw that all the soldiers of the Qianfeng Battalion were covered in blood. Although many of them were wounded, it seemed that none of them died in battle.My heart widened, and I said, "Qian Wenyi, how are you doing?" Qian Wenyi's body was also covered with blood, and he said out of breath, "Fortunately, after killing ten of them, the brothers are all here, and we won a complete victory." I can't help feeling a little proud.The Vanguard Battalion is the strongest in the world. It seems that this sentence will not be defeated by me.I said: "Okay, don't be careless, and prevent the pirates from attacking again." But the pirates still didn't attack, and seemed to be discussing something there.Qian Wenyi looked at it and asked, "What are they doing?" "They are in a dilemma." Indeed, the only advantage of the pirates is the number of people, but they can't rush forward, their advantage is not obvious, and the fate of the first to charge up is the fate of the entire army, so these pirates also Don't dare to rush forward again.I said, "Quick, take this time to unhook the hook." There are two pirate ships on the Tianchi, and they can't move at all now.Taking advantage of the pirate's hesitation, it is also a good opportunity to solve it.Qian Wenyi said: "Exactly. Come on, go!" Those small hooks are tied with thick hemp ropes, which are very tough. The hooks are sunk deep in the wood and cannot be removed. The knife in Qian Wenyi's hand is not as sharp as my Baipi knife. Only when the ground is cut can it be cut.After cutting off a few roots, Qian Wenyi looked up at the empty pirate ship, and said in a low voice, "Gu Zhi, Captain Wufeng is not someone who gives up easily." I said: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, anyway, we don't let them rush up." I looked at the distance again, and the place has calmed down. It seems that the pirates have already solved the Japanese ship. Then a plume of black smoke rose from the masthead of one of the ships.I was surprised: "What is that for? It's on fire?" Hearing this, Qian Wenyi looked up and lost his voice, "Ah! They've hung up the flag of fire and smoke!" I don't know what the "flame flag" he was talking about, but I knew something was wrong when I heard Qian Wenyi's voice, "What's wrong?" At this time, Pu Shifang rushed over and shouted: "General Chu, the pirates are flying the flag of fire and smoke, and they are going to attack immediately, be careful!" I said, "Is that the cigarette?" Pu Shifang said: "Yes. This is the death order issued by Captain Wufeng, and it means to take us down at all costs!" My heart shook violently.It seems that the captain of Wufeng is going to put all his eggs in one basket when he sees that we can't hold on.Thinking of the crazy attack of the pirates, I shivered and said, "Are they going to attack soon?" Before the words were finished, the few pirate ships that were hesitating made a loud cry and rushed over at the same time.They have eight more, and a dozen or so ships behind are also coming to us.I exclaimed, "They're going to hit me!" The pirates' boats are not as big as ours. Although the bows of the boats have an angle of attack, they can't be hurt when they collide with them. Their boats are even more injured.But they seem to be desperate, and if all eight ships are on board, our large ship may also be seriously injured.Pu Shifang's face turned red suddenly, and he said: "General Chu, please get rid of these iron anchors!" With a thick neck, he shouted: "Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder!" He turned and ran towards the rudder cabin . Pirates' two-lose style of play is the most stupid, but also the most effective. This time it will be difficult for us to defeat each of them. The only way now is to rely on Pu Shifang's sailing skills to get out of the way.But it is almost impossible to dodge the combined attack of eight ships, not to mention that there are still two pirate ships towing on the Tianchi.It would be easier to get on the enemy ship to untie the anchor, but once on that ship, it would be difficult to come back after the two ships separated.I was at a loss for a while, and shouted: "Untie it quickly! Untie it!" All the soldiers from the Vanguard Battalion rushed over to help me untie the anchor, and one of them suddenly said, "Control, I have a solution." I looked up, and it was Jian Zhonglan.He didn't do anything, just looked at the two pirate ships sticking to our ship.I said angrily: "Is there any way, just say it!" "Control, we now have three ships, we can also collide with them!" My heart lit up, and suddenly I realized it, and shouted: "Yes!" Turning my head, I said: "The water army can drive the boat, come ten people!" Qian Wenyi saw that I was screaming out of breath, he couldn't figure it out for a while, and said, "General Chu, what's wrong?" I said: "Go to the opposite side and untie it!" Qian Wenyi shouted: "What?" It was easier to go to the pirate ship to untie it, but it was not so easy to come back after untie it.He said: "Then as long as there are fewer people to go, why do you want to ask the brothers from the water army to go?" I said: "Because those two boats are still needed!" I didn't care to say any more, I threw myself and jumped over.Now we are only a few feet away from that boat, so our boat should be higher, so it is easy to jump over.As soon as I landed on the deck of the pirate ship, I rushed to the cabin.那三支铁锚都是从座舱的窗中飞出，只怕是用机械之力掷出，单凭人力定掷不了如此之远。果然，一冲进舱中，我便看见里面装着三台很大的机器，有点象石炮。 那就是掷出铁锚来的机器了，海贼看来惯施此技。我冲到一台机器前，手起刀落，一刀向铁链斩去。那铁链也很粗，一刀下去只将其中一环斩断，链子却没断。我抓起那根断了的链子，又将另一边也斩开，铁链登时断开，“咚”一声，这艘船离天驰号登时远了数尺。 我正要斩断第二根，一个水军团士兵已经冲了进来，道：“将军，我们要做什么？” 我叫道：“快去控船，用这船撞那些海贼！” 李尧天的部下果然精干，不用我多说，那士兵已冲向舵舱。我手起刀落，又将另两根系着铁锚的铁链也砍断了，又冲上船头。 船头正在横过来，指向一艘海贼船。由于这两艘先行靠上来的海贼船几乎挡住了我们整个船帮，海贼要冲击只能绕到另一边，此时走得最快的一艘海贼船已绕到了我们船头处，看样子准备撞向侧边，朴士免正在指挥着船只倒退，尽量让他们撞上的不是侧面而是正面。但天驰号太大了，两艘缠上来的海贼船刚解开，转动仍然还不灵活，已来不及避让，那艘海贼船也根本没想到我们会用这艘船撞上来，正全速撞向天驰号，见我们撞过来，登时慌了手脚，急忙转舵。但一时间他们哪里转得过来，“砰”一声，我坐的这艘海贼船正撞中那艘海贼船侧面。 我被震得立足不定，差点摔出去，连忙一把抓住船舱上的扶手。这艘船的冲角已嵌入那海贼船的船身，那海贼船的前半段被撞了个大口子，船上的海贼们手忙脚乱，也顾不得再攻击天驰号，转而冲向我这艘船来。 在船上只有二十来人，要挡海贼也不容易，我正觉惊慌，边上一个士兵挤上来道：“统制，小简让我跟你说，把这船点燃后拦在此处，我们回去。” 我脑中一亮，道：“对，快去点火！” 也不用我说，船上的几个前锋营士兵已经在劈碎船头的木板，正推到一处，而水军团的士兵则在放下救生船来。这些大船两侧都吊着两艘小船，以备船难时逃生所用，我们一共也才二十多人，一艘船挤得下了。我冲到舱边，抽刀劈去，舱门被我劈了开来，我将破门板往船头那堆木头中一扔，叫道：“快点火！” 有个士兵点着一支火把向那堆木片扔去，火一下燃了起来，可是却不旺，只怕海贼冲过来马上就可以踩灭。这时，一个士兵突然从船舱中抱着一个坛子出来，叫道：“统制，这儿有坛油！” 我接过这坛油来用力向火堆扔去。此时一个海贼正要去踩熄火头，那坛油砸在他脚边，“呼”一声，火势飞扬而起。这海贼大叫一声，一条腿已被点着了，不住在地上跳着。油助火势，船头的火足足大了十几倍，火舌乱窜，船头那个狼头塑像在火焰中象是活了过来，那些已经冲上来的海贼被烧得哇哇乱叫，想逃回去时却又被后面的海贼挤住了。海风也因为船头起火大了许多，风助火势，船头登时一片火海，不住蔓延。 我叫道：“还有油么？” 那个抱着坛子的士兵道：“舱中还有几坛，我马上去。” 我道：“叫几个人一块儿去，快走。” 座舱已被拆得七零八落了，我和跟着那士兵进了舱，到了底舱，那儿堆放了不少杂物，当中有几个坛子，还有两个大木桶，好象装的是酒。海贼的酒不象张龙友弄出的酒那样可以燃烧，现在只怕没多少用，油坛却只有三四个，而且也不太大。我有点失望，道：“快搬上去，空手的人搬点粮食回去。” 我们下来的人太多了，我也没能搬到手。空着手也不象样，看了看四周，想找点有用的东西。但海贼似乎另有据点，并不是在海上长久漂泊，粮食也不多，拿不了什么。突然，我看见壁上挂着一个小盒子。海贼的东西多半粗陋，但这个盒子却做得出奇地精致，我摘了下来，道：“走吧。” 上了甲板，将那几坛油抛进火里，火烧得更旺。此时另一艘海贼船也烧了起来，两艘船正好形成了一道屏障，海贼要冲上来就必须绕一个大圈，朴士免更指挥着士兵用雷霆弩攻击。这样的距离寻常弓箭已没有威力，只有雷霆弩能射到，那些海贼一露头便被弩箭射中，只能龟缩在铁盾后，这样更难逼近。 二十余人划着小船向天驰号而去，到了跟前时，上另一艘船去的士兵也都回来了。船上已放下舷梯，我让他们先爬上去，自己夹着那木盒，回头又看了一眼。此时两艘着火的海贼船上已是烈焰熊熊，被那艘船撞中的海贼船上忙乱不堪，正急着灭火。 这时钱文义叫了我一声道：“统制，上去吧。”我看了看，船上的士兵已大多上了船，点了点头道：“好，我们上去，你先去。” 现在虽然还不能说已经脱险，但海贼已经失了锐气，看来什么火烟旗也必将成为空话。我抱着那盒子，手足并用攀上了舷梯，到甲板时钱文义一把拉住我，将我拉了上来，道：“统制，没事吧？” 我心情大好，笑道：“钱兄，没事。弟兄们有受伤的么？” 钱文义道：“只有两个弟兄受了点擦伤，极是轻微。你拿的是什么？” 我道：“从海贼船上取来的，不知道是什么。”我看了看，箱子还上着锁，便交给他道：“先放到我舱中吧，我去看看朴将军。” 钱文义接过箱子向里走去，我刚要走，只听有人道：“楚将军，发生什么事了？” 这是丁西铭的声音。他的声音发颤，带着惧意，站在舱门口，一手扶着门框，似乎随时会倒下去。我行了个礼道：“丁大人，请放心，是些小毛贼。” 丁西铭声音颤颤地道：“他……他们有好多人啊！” 丁御史是个文官，可能从来没见过这种战阵。说实话，现在的战况根本算不上激烈，我们人数虽少，但船比海贼要坚固得多，加上有娴熟水战的朴士免指挥，我一点都不担心。我道：“丁大人，您还是回舱中歇息，静候佳音便是。” 我也没功夫和他多磨嘴皮子，行了一礼便向船头走去。到了船头，却不见朴士免，船头也只有十来个水军团的士兵在了，我问一个什长道：“你们朴将军呢？” 那什长道：“朴将军在指挥舱中。楚将军，幸亏你们冲过去拦了他们一下。” 我扭头看去，指挥舱设在船尾舵舱上面，朴士免正立在窗口，边看边说着什么。水战与陆战不同，舵手极为重要，命令下去得立刻执行，因此指挥舱都是设在舵舱上的。我攀上舱顶，到了指挥舱门口，一个水军团士兵拦住我道：“楚将军，请不要打扰朴将军指挥。” 朴士免全神贯注地看着海面上，不时向下发出一个指令。现在天驰号与海贼们的距离已远了一些，但海贼仍然没有放弃，正在重新集结，可能马上就又要冲上来。天驰号的速度比不上海贼的快船，只能且战且走。我知道现在也的确不该打扰他，便站在一边，静静地等着。 朴士免发布了几条指令，突然叫道：“楚将军，您回来了！快请过来。” 我走上前，道：“朴将军，我们走得掉么？” 朴士免皱了皱眉，道：“五峰船主升了火烟旗，没那么容易放弃。楚将军，请你让兄弟们抓紧时间休息，过一阵他们还会追上来的。” 现在没有空的海贼船做屏障了，接下来只能是一场恶战。我道：“这些海贼真是死缠烂打。” “他们本来如此。楚将军，小心点。” 这时，了望台上的那士兵突然高声叫道：“朴将军，前面有个小岛！”
