Once the flagship is captured, the other ships of the forward battalion will lose command, and Zhao Xuhai certainly understands the consequences.

But at this time, he had lost six of his seven souls, and his heart was all occupied by panic and fear, and he just wanted to save his old life and go home, where to take care of a lot, and said: "The speed of the other party's ship is too fast, this ship must not be able to escape, the soldiers can't beat the pirates, we stay here and wait for death, it is better to go back to the Chinese army to move reinforcements as soon as possible! You hurry up and prepare the ship, otherwise it will be too late!"

Running away is running away, and it has to be said to be asking for help, Zhao Xuhai said this, and even he felt a little blushing.

Sun Li widened his eyes and said loudly: "This battle was lost so badly, we and other leaders cannot escape the blame, Sun Li has determined to live and die with this ship, if Lord Zhao wants to escape, he will flee by himself!"

As a deputy general, this Sun Li is very respectful to Zhao Xuhai, and he has never disobeyed an order, but he never imagined that at this critical juncture today, his personality is so strong.

Zhao Xuhai's face was pale and uncertain, and after a long time, he said: "Okay, this ship will be handed over to Vice Admiral Sun, and I will take a small boat to the Chinese fleet to move reinforcements!"

He hurriedly ordered his soldiers to prepare the dinghy, but before the wooden boat could be lowered into the sea, there was a huge earthquake from the hull of the three-masted gunboat, and a sea falcon ship crashed into the starboard side of the ship, and then many hooks flew up, and in an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky, and dozens of pirates climbed up along the rope to the deck of the three-masted gunboat!

A few more shocks followed, but three other chasing pirate ships also crashed into the ship.

There was a "swish", but Sun Li had already pulled out the saber at his waist and shouted: "Brothers of the sailor battalion, listen! Today, we will defend the ship desperately, and we must not let pirates attack the deck!"

After he finished speaking, he jumped down from the lookout, and rushed to the pirates who were about to climb to the deck with his sword, the ferocity of the pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace" was known to everyone, and there would never be a living mouth left wherever they went, and there were only one or two escape boats on the big ship, for the vast majority of soldiers, being captured by pirates was a dead end.

Since there was no way out, and there was only one way to fight hard, the soldiers of the water division heard Sun Li's shout, and each brandished their weapons and rushed over!

The three-masted gunboat was a large warship, and it should have 200 soldiers on board according to the battalion of sailors, and this ship was the flagship, and the number of men and crew was a little more than that of ordinary warships, and the total number of soldiers and sailors was nearly 300. The four Sea Falcons that had now come up were numbered almost three hundred in total, and in a moment, swords and swords flew and flesh and blood flew together, and a hand-to-hand battle broke out between the two sides at the edge of the deck and on the sides of the ship.

The combat power of the sailors and soldiers of the imperial court is not as good as the pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace" who have been plundering the sea for many years, but the three-masted gunboats are high, and it is not easy for the pirates to climb up from the sea falcons.

Adjutant General Sun Li took the lead, wielding his sword to guard the forefront, and the soldiers of the sailor struggled to resist the pirates who climbed up, and the pirates climbed the deck several times, but they were all slashed and killed by the soldiers, losing more than 20 people. In an instant, the edges of the deck of the three-masted gunboat were all stained red with blood!

Zhao Xuhai did not participate in the battle, he was dragging a small wooden boat to the stern, and now the sides of the ship were docked by the pirate ship, and the only way to escape was to put the small boat from the stern into the sea.

This Zhao Qian is always a smart person, of course a smart person will not do stupid things, let alone put his life into it for the sake of a momentary courage like Sun Li. Zhao Xuhai's newlywed wife is still waiting for him at home, but if there is a glimmer of hope of escape, he will not let it go.

It's just that the wooden boat used for escape on this boat is really not small, weighing two or three hundred catties, and Zhao Xuhai wants to drag it alone, but it is not easy.

"Hey, you two come here, and help Ben carry the boat to the stern!"

Zhao Xuhai shouted to the two sailor soldiers, but the two soldiers ignored him and rushed straight to the front of the deck with their knives.

Zhao Xuhai stretched out his hand and grabbed another soldier, "Zhanzhu!

The soldier shook his shoulders, shook Zhao Xuhai's arm away, and said, "Lord Zhao, lift it yourself, the little one is going to kill the pirates!" After speaking, he also ran to the battle circle in front of the deck.

Zhao Xuhai knew that this soldier was the little soldier who was dedicated to reporting on the military situation, and from the disdain in his eyes, Zhao Xuhai could also see it clearly.

Zhao Xuhai is the vanguard officer of Zhengyin, and he is also the commander of Tuolin Water Village, and these soldiers are all his subordinates. But there is always some blood in being a soldier, even these soldiers in the water village who have been difficult to fight all year round, seeing Zhao Xuhai's behavior as a general, but fleeing from the battle, they are also deeply disgusted, and they refuse to obey the order to help him carry the wooden boat.

Zhao Xuhai was angry and hateful in his heart, thinking that if he had the life to go back, he would definitely arrest these soldiers and whip them fiercely, so that they would know the consequences of violating the general's order. However, judging from the current situation, the people on this ship will probably die at the hands of pirates today, and there will be little chance of returning.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a few terrible strange laughs from the battle group on the deck, Zhao Xuhai looked back, but saw two red shadows flying up from the side of the ship, landing on the deck, it was actually two people wearing blood-red cloaks, they were all covering their faces, each carrying an exaggerated steel axe in their hands, I am afraid that they weighed dozens of pounds.

Although Zhao Xuhai had never seen Qian Badou and Qian Jiukong in the "Nine Dragons" before, just from the light skills performed by these two people who jumped directly onto the two-zhang high deck, as well as the weight of the strange-shaped weapons in their hands, he could guess that they must be the masters of the pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace".

The "Qian Twin Demons" got on the deck, the strange smile in his mouth did not stop, the giant axe in his hand flashed, and the soldiers of the sailor division had no power to resist under their hands, and in just a moment, more than ten soldiers were killed on the ground in different places, and the defense line that was originally guarding the edge of the deck was suddenly cut a gap.

For ruthless masters like Qian Badou and Qian Jiukong, who have practiced superior martial arts, killing ordinary soldiers is just a gesture, and it is not much more difficult than pinching an ant to death.

At this time, Zhao Xuhai's face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Vice General Sun, don't go!"

He saw Sun Li holding a knife and rushing towards one of the two "Black Dragon Palace" masters wearing blood-red cloaks. Although Sun Li had confronted Zhao Xuhai a moment ago, he was Zhao Xuhai's old subordinate after all, and the two had worked together in Tuolinzhai for many years and had some friendship. Zhao Xuhai saw him rushing over to his death so recklessly, he still felt a little unbearable in his heart, and couldn't help but stop him.

But the two were far apart, and Sun Li didn't hear Zhao Xuhai's shout at all, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't pay attention to it. He hurried forward, and soon rushed to Qian Jiukong's side, raising his knife and slashing!

As soon as the Qian brothers jumped up, they killed more than ten people in a row, and the soldiers of the water division were already afraid, and they retreated one after another, Qian Jiukong was proud, but he didn't expect that there were people who were not afraid of death rushing up at this time, and he swung his axe at the moment, blocked the slashed steel knife, raised a foot and flew out, and kicked on Sun Li's chest!

Qian Jiukong's foot was full of internal strength, Sun Li was kicked by him, the bones in his chest were kicked and broken several times, and the steel knife in his hand also flew out of his hand and fell into the sea! But Sun Li took advantage of the situation and hugged Qian Jiukong's thigh, shouting: "Everyone go up together, kill this person!"

As he shouted, blood foamed out of his mouth.

Sun Li has not practiced superior martial arts, but as a military attaché, he has also practiced some wrestling skills on weekdays. He knew that he was no match for Qian Jiukong, so he took a hard kick, hugged the opponent's thigh with all his might, and ordered the soldiers to hug him, hoping to kill this person in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, the sailors and soldiers who had already retreated rushed straight up one after another, each raising a steel knife and slashing at Qian Jiukong!

Although Qian Jiukong was a master, he was hugged by Sun Li to his thigh, but it was also difficult to use light skills to dodge, and more than a dozen steel knives slashed together, making him scramble, swinging the giant axe to block, "snorting", but his left arm had been slashed!

Seeing that this demonic pirate master was injured, the surrounding soldiers rushed up and raised their swords to chop!

But at this moment, I saw a red shadow flying in, and in the sound of gold and iron fighting, the steel knives that slashed at Qian Jiukong were all opened, and the cold light flashed again, and a soldier had his throat cut and fell to the ground. But it was Qian Badou who found that his younger brother was in danger, and flew to save him, and when the giant axe came, he immediately forced away the sailor soldiers who rushed to the front.

And Qian Jiukong finally got free, swung out the sharp axe, cut off the two arms that were holding his thighs, and then backhanded the axe, which had cut off Sun Li's head!

Sun Li was killed, and the "Qian Twin Demons" shot even more ruthlessly, killing many people in an instant, and the sailors and soldiers guarding the edge of the deck had to retreat, and the pirate minions also climbed up one after another.

The Qian brothers, nicknamed the "Double Demons", have always been regarded as demons in the South China Sea, not only ruthless, but also powerful in light skills, even ordinary martial arts masters can hardly hurt them. Today, Qian Jiukong was actually slashed by this group of sailor soldiers who were not even as good as ants in his opinion, and he couldn't help but be furious in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Little ones, kill everyone on this ship, and no one is allowed to stay!"

Previously, with the advantage of the edge of the deck, the soldiers on the ship could barely resist the pirates, but now that the pirates had climbed the deck, it was even more difficult for the sailors to resist, and they were killed and wounded heavily, and they were killed and retreated.

"Brothers of Tuolin Village, all obey my orders, retreat to the center of the deck, and form a circle to defend!"

Just when the soldiers of the Navy Division could not resist the enemy and were about to be defeated, they suddenly heard a loud shout, and the person who shouted was Zhao Xuhai, the vanguard officer of the Thousand Chiefs.

Seeing Sun Li die just now, Zhao Xuhai was sad and angry, everyone has blood, and as a sailor general, of course, he is no exception. If he had been bent on running for his life before, but now that no one helped him move the wooden boat, it was impossible to escape. Since there is only one dead end left in front of us, it is better to die in battle than to be slaughtered like a mouse!
