Booming and shaking, the hull of the ship shook. Looking out of the porthole, they saw a red light flashing on the pitch-black sea behind them, and a battleship was firing at them one after another, rapidly approaching.

Xu Xuan grabbed the wooden stick and staggered out of the cabin. There was a confusion of people, and there was a noisy shout everywhere. Then there were several deafening roars, the sky and the sea were red, the whale waves were undulating, the starboard side and deck had been hit by artillery fire, and several pirates screamed and turned over and fell.

In the chaos, I only heard Hu Sanshu's high and shrill voice coming from above: "Everyone stabilize the rudder, raise the flag, and wait for my order to release arrows and open fire" The footsteps on the deck sounded intensively, echoing the sound, and the bow of the ship fell steadily.

The banner with the wolf carving rose high to the top of the pole and hunted along with the sails. Dozens of huge oars stretched out from both sides of the hull, and under the twisting of the bilge gears, they fluttered in unison, breaking the waves towards the battleship.

"Boom" "Boom" The deck was full of red light, and several sides and cabins were blown up, and flames were dancing. The horn of the group of thieves is blowing, shouting like thunder, no matter how fierce the enemy's artillery fire is, they are always ready to shoot arrows, guns are in the chamber, hold their positions, and each is in place.

Xu Xuan originally thought that these pirates were just some ferocious and ruthless rabble, but he didn't expect that the order was forbidden, and the discipline was so strict; Especially the seemingly slippery Hu Sanshu, who can still be in danger and command, makes him feel a little admiration.

The wind was fierce, the two ships were getting closer and closer, the battleship turned the rudder and crossed the front, the port side was flooded with red light, the cannon fire continued to crash into the waves on both sides of the Wolf Eagle, the bow compartment and foremast were hit by cannon fire, several people screamed and fell down, and immediately someone was on top, and the war song became more and more excited.

The sea flickered red and dark, and from a distance, the other side was also a three-masted giant ship, the hull was wider and longer than the "Wolf Eagle", and there were at least twenty-five guns on each side, and the range was extremely long. The banner was impressively embroidered with a big "Song" character.

Xu Xuan was furious, faintly and a little strange. The shipbuilding technology of the Great Song Dynasty is unparalleled in the world, and the ships are strong and the guns are sharp, far superior to other countries, but they rarely sail to fight. This battleship is so huge, it should be the main ship of the naval division, why did it sail to the distant sea north of Goryeo? Is it really to chase down this ship full of pirates?

Before the thought could be made, the Song ship suddenly stopped shelling, turned around, and sailed at full speed to the northeast. Xu Xuan was stunned, and he didn't know why he retreated without a fight. The group of thieves was also in an uproar, shouting and scolding.

Hu Sanshu led a few people, rushed down from the top cabin, bowed and saluted, and said: "Emperor Qi, the enemy ship retreats without a fight, I am afraid it is a trick to lure the troops, do you need to pursue?" ”

Xu Xuan stared into the distance, the sea in front of him was dark, and there were no other ships, so his thoughts flashed, and he said: "Catch up with it, don't sink the ship, find a way to board the ship." People can be killed, but their armor and banners must be stripped off and kept. ”

Hu Sanshuden immediately came to his senses, showing an expression full of admiration and intoxication, and sighed with his palms: "Wonderful, wonderful, really milk...... His grandmother's wonder is incredible, waiting for us to drive this Zhao Song warship, pretending to be a dog officer and soldier, swaggering into the Qiantang River, try to ask inside and outside Lin'an, who can stop my artillery bombardment? The emperor is improvised, the real gods and ghosts are unpredictable, and the villain is beyond the reach of the dust even if he lives for eight lifetimes."

A few people next to him suddenly realized, and hurriedly followed the tide of words and admired. At that moment, they all took the order, rode the wind and waves, and pursued at full speed.

The Song ship flickered left and right, and its speed was extremely fast. The group of thieves behaved well in front of the "Demon Emperor", twisting the oars in unison and striving to be the first. After chasing each other for half an hour, the two boats were only a dozen feet apart.

Suddenly, I heard a "boom" continuous earthquake, and several rounds of red light suddenly flashed on the sea surface in front of the right, flickering bright and dark. Everyone's hearts were full of joy, could it be that the Song boat was really a trick to lure the enemy and lead them into an ambush?

Spies on the mainmast lookout wave flags to signal that there is a fierce battle ahead.

Xu Xuan took the clairvoyant mirror handed by Hu Sanshu, and sure enough, a few miles away, two battleships were on the left and on the right, holding a large ship and firing fiercely. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of artillery on both sides, the big ship was already riddled with holes, and the flames were raging, and it was slowly sinking.

Strangely, the ship that was sunk by shelling turned out to be a merchant ship flying the Goryeo flag; And the two warships that fired were also flying the flag of the Great Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty and Goryeo have always been friendly, why did they send three warships to pursue Goryeo's merchant ships thousands of miles away?

While thinking about it, the agitated horn suddenly sounded on the Song boat in front of him, and he slowly turned his head. The other two ships ceased their shelling and turned to approach them at full speed.

The group of thieves was in an uproar, and the firepower of these three warships was extremely strong, and the hull was so tall and strong that it was not under the "Wolf Eagle" at all. Once they fall into their encirclement, they will be robbed, and the faces of Hu Sanshu and the others will change in unison, and they will all turn their heads to look at Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan's heart also flashed with fear, but when he thought of his parents, his anger suddenly rushed to the top of his head, slammed the railing, and shouted: "People fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense Today, if we take half a step back, the people of the world will laugh at us as lost dogs, chased by the wolf-like officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty and fled to hide in the west, panic all day long, do you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and steal your life, or fight with these dog officers and soldiers to break the net, and tell the world who is the overlord of the sea?" ”

The group of thieves heard this, and they roared loudly, vowing to fight to the death with the Great Song Water Division.

By that time, the battleship had already turned sideways, and the starboard guns were full of fire, roaring like thunder, and the surrounding waves were surging furiously. The hull of the "Wolf Eagle" shook violently, broken slabs flew one after another, the foremast and bow compartment were injured one after another, and the canvas "hulala" rolled up clusters of flames.

Hu Sanshu raised his head and whined and blew the horn, and shouted: "Go at full speed, fire the bow of the ship, and sink them" The firelight reflected his thin face, his brows were furrowed, resolute and resolute, without the flattering look of Fang Cai. The bandits beat the drums of war, the horns soared to the sky, and under the command of his commanding flag, they rushed towards the Song ship at full speed.

Xu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and paid more respect to this guy. At this time, the two ships were only ten feet apart, and according to the conventional naval battle, they faced each other sideways, and exchanged artillery bombardment. But at this time, with one enemy and three enemies, even if the artillery fire can overwhelm the opponent, he can't trap himself here, waiting for the other two warships to surround and attack. The only way is to win by surprise and solve the problem quickly.

The "Wolf Eagle" was extremely fast, and the Song ship had fired two rounds of artillery in a staggered manner, and before it could cool its chamber, it had already rushed to its starboard side like an arrow from a string. There was an uproar on the Song boat, and he hurriedly turned the rudder to avoid it.

The group of thieves roared in unison, and the two cannons in the bow accurately hit the helm tower of the Song ship, and the flames soared into the sky, and more than a dozen people screamed and fell into the water. Then there was a loud bang, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the bow of the "Wolf Eagle" had been split into the side cabin of the Song ship like a giant axe.

The "Wolf Eagle" has been in naval battle for a long time, and the sharp bow of the ship is wrapped with a hard and sharp iron blade, and this slamming blow is like a bamboo, and instantly the opponent's side cabin is opened out of a crack nearly three zhang wide and two zhang deep, and it is rigidly embedded between the shattered keel and the bilge.

The thieves roared and rushed up the bow and climbed the mast, and the rockets flew in a writzle and shot at the opposing ship. The Song soldiers screamed endlessly, or were instantly pierced, nailed to the deck, or were on fire, and jumped into the sea desperately.

The crack in the side compartment of the Song ship was huge, reaching the bottom of the ship, and the sea water poured in, and in an instant, most of the bilge was submerged. There was a crisp sound of "Grala", and the huge hull suddenly turned to the right, and the bow of the "Wolf Eagle" deeply embedded in it was forced down.

The crowd shouted in unison, and almost fell off the side of the gunwale. Xu Xuanda, the bow of the ship was tightly stuck by the opponent's side cabin, and if he didn't break free as soon as possible, he would inevitably overturn together.

Hu Sanshu shouted: "The oars are reversed, all the gun heads are turned, and the cannons are fired" The dozens of cannons on both sides of the bilge turned their muzzles obliquely, roaring wildly, spitting firelight, and bombarding the Song ship fiercely, and suddenly the overturned hull was lifted backwards. At the same time, the oars spun upside down, flipped like flying, pulled the hull of the boat, and retreated little by little.

The flames on the Song boat danced wildly, screaming in grief, and I don't know how many people were killed by the explosion, and how many people were in unbearable pain and jumped into the water like crazy. Then there was a loud "boom", and the whole ship broke into several pieces and slowly sank downward.

Xu Xuan's heart was full of sympathy, and the grief and hatred in the past few days were diluted a lot, but after listening to it a few times, there was a sudden shock, and the screams and shouts from those "Song soldiers" were all Jurchen words

Hu Sanshu and the others obviously heard it, and looked at each other in shock. Could it be that this "Great Song Dynasty Battleship" was actually disguised by the Tartars of the Jin Kingdom?

Without waiting to think about it, the artillery fire on the right roared, the waves blew up, and the other two battleships had already chased after each other, and they were surrounded from afar. The bandits shouted in unison, shook their oars, turned around and sailed at full speed to the southeast.

The two warships were menacing and extremely fast, and in a few moments, they were only twenty feet away from them. "Bang bang" sounded, and the ship behind threw pieces of flint one after another, whistling and dancing, one after another hitting the stern and helm tower of the "Wolf Eagle", and the broken wood exploded.

The group of thieves is great, the other party is like a maggot attached to the bone, and it will not be shaken off, and if it goes on like this, the rudder will be hit hard; But at this time, if the hull of the ship is turned around and the battleship in the rear is fired, the other enemy ship will inevitably thunder from the flank and front. At both ends, there is a dilemma.

Xu Xuan raised his head, looked at the hundreds of wolf eagles circling and screaming, his heart moved, and asked, "Sanshu, can you use the horn to control the wolf eagles?" Seeing him nodding, he was in great spirits, and was about to give a face-to-face lecture, when he suddenly heard a shout from the sea in front of him: "Help, help."

Turning their heads, several wrecked boats were swinging towards them. The ship was lying on board, carrying more than a dozen people, covered in blood and full of panic, apparently survivors of the previously sunken Goryeo merchant ship.

Xu Xuan's brain "buzzed", stared at one of the women in disbelief, and said in a lost voice: "It's you"
