"Commander, look!" On the boat of He Yunzuo, who was slightly ahead on the river, Sun Yong suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed behind him and said to his own commander.

He Yun looked at the place where Sun Yong was pointing, and then said loudly: "This group of little things reacts very quickly!"

I saw that not far from the rear of the ironclad ship at this moment, on the boat of the teenagers, the lookout platform above the main sail, the glass lantern that had just been lowered was raised again, and a flag bearer was waving the flag in his hand vigorously, conveying the order that Zhou Kang had just made to the fleet in front.

"Leave them alone!Go full speed ahead, meet the rest of the people first!" He Yun glanced at it, then turned around and looked straight ahead.

He Yun can guess the purpose of the other party to some extent, no matter what the next battle situation is, now he is alone, and he can't resist the opponent's boulder attack just by relying on the next ship, no matter what, he has to meet his subordinates first.

As for Zhou Kang's side, since he had already made a decision, he no longer entangled the other party, and rushed forward with enough horsepower, making sure to catch up with the fleet in front before the other party converged.

And at this moment, for the four ironclad ships that rushed to the front, the battle situation was not as smooth as expected, Liu Jin quickly lowered all the sails after receiving the order from Zhou Kang at the beginning, and then lined all the ships into three rows, leaving no distance between the ships, and then buckled the ship to the side of the ship with a huge iron hook, and completely built the entire fleet into a huge ship fort.

After that, Liu Jin ordered all the sailors on the ship to hide, so that the deck became a silent and unmanned scene, so down, the longbowmen on the ironclad ship completely lost their target, originally this kind of longbow operated by two people, the accuracy is not very sufficient, only according to the numerical advantage to form a large coverage, and at the same time, the opponent's formation is also densely arranged to form a considerable lethality, after all, there are few marksmen like Sun Yong in the world.

Now that the longbowmen were no longer useful, the ironclad ships tried to get forward and prepare for the broadside battle, but when they brought the two sides closer, a large number of sailors suddenly burst out from all corners of the deck, and this group of sailors even had a standard bow and arrow!

Now that the Tang Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, the local government army has long been lax, and the forbidden military items such as bows and crossbows that were previously very strictly controlled are now available from the black market as long as you have money, and Peng Ze's batch of armor and crossbow arrows was obtained in this way, and as the starting point of maritime trade Wuyue Town, it is naturally not surprising that there is such a black market, and even behind this black market are some local families, and their own business is naturally not prohibited.

Therefore, before leaving, Liu Jin took people to the black market for a walk, and after paying a lot of money, he also bought some weapons and equipment for these sailors, after all, there are only a dozen teenagers, and there will always be some times when they can't take care of them, and now it seems that this decision is really extremely correct!

Although these sailors have not experienced formal training, they are all men with big shoulders and round waists, and they can still do such actions as opening their bows and arrows, as for the quasi-head...... Such a close distance can always cause some damage to the other party.

In this way, the long-range attack was ineffective, and they couldn't get close to the side battle, and the four ironclad ships were like tigers eating hedgehogs, so they had to surround Liu Jin's ship fort and release a few long arrows from time to time, which was better than nothing.

"Han Tou'er, these guys can't do their work!"

At the previous meeting in front of the station on He Yunzuo's ship, the young man named Han Tao who stood up to explain to everyone was also the captain of an ironclad ship, and the vice general on the ship said helplessly to Han Tao at this moment.

"It's normal! It would be strange if they weren't!" Han Tao said calmly after hearing this.

"Hmph, these guys are all planning to let others gnaw bones and eat meat themselves!"

The adjutant general said indignantly.

"No matter how much money moves, it has to be spent! Ships and sailors are their greatest capital, and these guys know this better than anyone else!" Han Tao immediately said a few more words, and then stopped.

Then he turned to the lieutenant general and asked, "Are all the things ready?"

"Ready!" replied with a nod from the adjutant general.

The Iron Lock Hengjiang has been used in water warfare for a long time, but countless battles in history have proved that this method of arranging formations without any flexibility is a precursor to defeat in water warfare!

As a result, the moves used as opponents are also very simple but very effective!

Then, with the order of the deputy general, dozens of flaming rockets with flaming fronts strapped to the front of Han Tao's ship flew out of the ship and flew towards Liu Jin's bunker, and after a while, there was a second and third round......

Although the rockets were small, they could not hold a large number, and after a while, Liu Jin's bunker began to burn.

Seeing that the fire was about to expand, Liu Jin couldn't let the sailors hide, and the sailors also knew that once the fire spread, the only way to wait for them was death, so the sailors ran out of the hiding place, picked up the bucket, and the coarse cloth began to extinguish the fire.

On the other side, Han Tao, who saw that the sailors were really forced out, naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately ordered the longbowmen who had been waiting for a long time to act immediately.

Although Liu Jin also considered that the other party would take the opportunity to attack when he asked the sailors to extinguish the fire, and at the same time arranged for people to hold shields to cover their comrades who extinguished the fire, but the shields in the hands of the sailors, the cowhide armor on their bodies did not play the slightest protective role in the face of this sharp longbow, and when a round of arrows rained down, Liu Jin's sailors were also not badly damaged.

At this moment, the flagbearer on the lookout came with Zhou Kang's order, and after Liu Jin received the order, he immediately took advantage of the gap in the second round of arrow rain on the other side, and hurriedly ordered someone to take off the iron hook between the boats, and then raised the sails and slurry, so that the sailors could hide in the cabin.

Although Han Tao's second round of arrow rain still took the lives of many of Liu Jin's sailors, the sailors still managed to retreat into the cabin before the third round of arrow rain came.

And when Han Tao launched three rounds of attacks in a row, the other three ships were still only a few long arrows flying sporadically, but they did not attack with Han Tao, but they really looked like they were sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Liu Jin's fleet began to move, and the speed gradually increased, and just as the ironclad ship was about to take the opportunity to insert into the fleet in order to separate the fleet, Zhou Kang's ship actually arrived first, and rushed to the front team one step ahead of He Yun.

Just happened to meet four ironclad ships were about to launch a pursuit, so they rushed towards each other without stopping, and then when they approached, another round of boulders passed, and the four unprepared ironclad ships bore the brunt of each other.

Although there were not many casualties, the pursuit formation was also dispersed, allowing Zhou Kang to lead the teenagers to break through.

And after being attacked so fiercely by the boulder, the three ironclad ships actually slowed down at the same time!

Seeing this, Han Tao didn't dare to go after alone, so he let Zhou Kangshun and Liu Jin join forces!

And after He Yun reintegrated the ironclad fleet, he didn't have time to care about these guys who couldn't work, so he immediately led people to start the pursuit.

The two fleets began to chase after each other on the river, and Zhou Kang saw that although they were slightly ahead of the boats, it was impossible to bring all the ships into the pass at the current speed.

So Zhou Kang then ordered the sailors to discard some of the heavy and relatively small cargoes on the ship to reduce the weight of the ship and increase the speed.

After the order was executed, the speed of the fleet began to gradually increase, and the distance between the two sides began to widen, which made He Yun in the rear helpless for a while, but it was impossible to give up, so he had to keep chasing closely.

"He Fatty, you won't let them run away like this!" Kong Ke was also a little angry at the moment, this time he even used the last hole card but he didn't expect it to be such a result, not only did a ship not be robbed, but his own side also suffered nearly 100 casualties of sailors, how do you explain to the young master after you let him go back!

"If you want to run? How easy is it! Bullnose, you're fucking blind! Don't you see the fire on the boat opposite? They're rushing for time now! If they don't find a place to stop and put out the fire, these guys will have to go to the river to feed Wang Ba! Besides, don't look at these guys running fast now, but those sailors actually don't have much strength left, and they can't compare to the regular army after all!" He Yun retorted angrily when he heard Kong Ke's reproachful words.

Although Kong Ke was still anxious when he saw this, he couldn't help but didn't say anything more.

He Yun's prediction was still very accurate, the teenagers were throwing goods at full speed at full speed, and it didn't take long to arrive at the pass that Zhou Kang said, and at this time, the ironclad fleet had been thrown away by them for dozens of miles, so Zhou Kang quickly sailed the fleet into the pass, and at the same time knocked his own ship and the other two ships that had to be abandoned because of the fire was too big, and it happened to block the exit of the pass.

Then Liu Jin commanded the sailors to quickly extinguish the fire, and at the same time moved all the boulders used to press the ship on each ship to Zhou Kang's ship, and the sailors who were temporarily free from the threat of death had a feeling of the rest of their lives, and they worked hard a lot, and everyone worked together to finally complete the layout of the defense line before He Yun's fleet arrived.

And when He Yun arrived, he saw a small pass full of ships, and at the entrance of the pass, there were two burning abandoned ships in the front, and behind it was the other party's flagship, that is, the ship where the annoying trebuchets were.

At this time, through the big mouth in the middle of the boat, seeing the excellent equipment that made him hate and envy at the same time, as well as the dense huge stones placed next to him, He Yun felt a tingling of his scalp for no reason.

"These damn little beggars!"
