Chapter 163: Lost Courage

On the left side of the Song giant boat, the trread with a barb was placed in the gap on the side of the ship, and the Song people holding wooden signs could not lift it down, but could only keep shooting arrows to prevent the enemy from rushing up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time as the Yuan people fought back, the sharps wearing heavy armor had been lined up, they were holding heavy axes or hammers in one hand, and iron shields in the other, led by a tall figure, under the thick beard was a savage-like face, and the hammer in his hand was the size of a human head, but he was easily single-handed, this Jurchen from Liaodong was a warrior in the tribe, and he didn't put those thin and short southern barbarians in his eyes at all.

When the iron hook behind the pedal hooked deeply on the side of the Song people's ship, he stepped on it without hesitation, and his body like a giant bear pressed against the pedal, making an astringent "squeak" sound, and it seemed that he was not ready to walk towards the arrow step by step, but wanted to jump up, with his own weight and the weapon in his hand, to break through a hole.

Just when his thick hind legs were slightly bent back and ready to jump, he suddenly heard a rapid wind from top to bottom, the speed came so fast that he didn't have time to look up, he could only instinctively raise the iron shield in his hand, but what he thought in his heart was that no matter what attacked him, even if it was a stone thrown by a trebuchet, he would be sure to catch it.

"Boom!" The deafening sound muffled the exclamations of the sergeants on both sides, and a huge black shadow volleyed down into the air, smashing the big man with his weapons down, breaking the pedal in two, and the other end should be the place where the enemy ship was side, leaving only a big hole, a bottomless hole, what about people......

Soon they knew the answer, and after a while, there was another "boom", and from the big hole rose a black thing, the size of a millstone, with a hole in the middle, worn by an iron chain as thick as a child's arm, and as the millstone was pulled into the air by the chain, the sergeants on both sides saw the scene clearly.

The entire lower part of the grinding disc was blood-red, dripping with blood and some unrecognizable debris "dripping" down, something resembling flesh or organs hung on the edge, and it was impossible to see the full shape, and in the bewildered gaze of those Yuanren sergeants, the black grinding disc smashed down again, this time louder and deeper, for as it rose again, a large stream of seawater emerged from the hole and soaked onto the deck.

Such a grinding disc, on Ye Mengding's giant boat, a total of six are loaded, and three are installed on each side, they are not like a rocking rod, they can be turbulent back and forth, and they can only go straight up and down in one direction, but it is such a simple action, and it crushes the Yuanren's attempt to connect and melee at once, although three bodies on one side are not enough to cover the entire hull, but the destructive power of the enemy ship makes those armor soldiers who are ready to attack unable to even stand on their feet, and can only struggle in vain on the warship that is about to capsize.

However, this was not enough, as the enemy ships on both sides were gradually swallowed by the sea, the caught giant ship suddenly broke free from its restraints, perhaps frightened by the endless equipment on it, and the surrounding enemy ships began to avoid it, fearing that this monster would suddenly rush towards them.

"Pingzhang, Pingzhang!" The soldiers screamed several times before Xin Du, who was in a panic, woke up, as if in a dream, he was still a little lacking in energy, and his mouth subconsciously asked.

"What's that?"

"The Song people's slapping rod." Of course, the soldiers understood what he meant, but this answer did not satisfy Xin, and when he came back to his senses, his mouth was full of incomplete sentences, and only when they were very close could he hear a little fragment.

"How to deal with it, how to sink it, what to do if it rushes over...... and so on.

At this moment, he not only felt helpless, but even a little disheartened, those who were tied to the iron chain were just a larger stone, but they could play such an important role, you must know that those armor soldiers are all athletes in the army, and even the Great Khan appreciated the bravery, and now he died in the sea so inexplicably, even if he can escape, how can he explain to others?

Xin Du may have been born for the first time in his life, and the mind of fleeing without a fight was not a passive act in the land of the Japanese people, but a real fear in his heart, facing a powerful enemy, unable to match and unwilling to be slaughtered.

The giant boat of the Song people is still advancing, with the gradual increase of the gap in front of it, it actually has a space to start, but no matter how strong, in the continuous siege of the enemy, it is still impossible to avoid casualties, compared to the reduction of the sergeants on the ship, they are more concerned about the ship itself, the wooden hull is most afraid of fire, and the cloth sail is even more so, the sail that was originally full of wind is full of fire, all of which are burned by the fire, which has affected the speed of the ship.

There is no time to replace at the moment, although the enemy army has been hit, but it has not retreated or collapsed, he used a clairvoyant mirror to scan around, the advance of the Song army's fleet is not as rapid as before, but it is caught in the entanglement of the enemy, time is passing bit by bit, every night and a moment, there will be a little more danger, what to do, he and Xin are the same, they are thinking about this problem.

Just when he was hesitating to raise the flag, a small voice came from his ears, the voice was a little old, but as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was not Shaobao, but the old man beside him, this sentence was only four words, but it made him wake up like an enlightenment.

"Capture the thief and capture the king."

Yes, the enemy's main target is on his own ship, because it is a command ship, so in the same way, defeating the other party's command, no matter how well trained, will inevitably fall into separate positions, and only then can each of them break through and quickly seize the initiative on the battlefield.

The main ship is always the most conspicuous, either the largest one, if it is all of the same size, it is naturally the most luxuriously decorated or the most equipped, and if it is not, there is a simpler way to determine it, the one in the center, because in the absence of black technology such as microphones, only this position, the flags issued can be seen by the most ships.

The big ship in Xindu met all these conditions, and was easily found out of the enemy ships.

"Paddleman, shake it with all your might, and the target is diagonally tilted for a moment."

If the sail is not strong, it can only rely on manpower, the sea ship has no wheels, and it is equipped with a long wooden pulp, which is not only the case with the Song people, but also the same with the Yuan people, and the pulp of the two sides will be mixed together when they are close, although it is not a direct attack, it can also delay the speed of the opponent to some extent.

Under his command, the helmsman slightly adjusted its direction and aimed at the center of the Yuanren's rear formation, where not only the command ship was located, but also the thickest part of the enemy army.

The pulpers on the lowest deck shouted in unison, and shook their oars in their hands at the sound of a shouting of the heads, and the huge hull of the ship fell together in the waves, and slowly turned diagonally forward, and rushed towards the enemy ships that were either frightened or trying to hide.

Flee or dodge? This problem is unimaginable for Xin Du, so much so that when the big boat rushed straight over, he didn't give any instructions, and his subordinates were still fighting hard, afraid to be afraid, and fleeing was not everyone's first choice.

"Pingzhang! Decide quickly. As a last resort, several pro-soldiers began to urge again, Xin Du looked at the tall shadow in front of him, his eyes swept over everyone on the boat, slowly suppressed the fear in his heart, and stood in front of the platform with a calm face.

"Raise the sails, speed up, catch up!"

What the? The soldiers couldn't believe what they heard, this meaning was obvious, not only did he not intend to stop it, but he also wanted to set an example to fight the other party's boss to the death, but that kind of monster, is it something that Ultraman like us who has not transformed can deal with.

"Do you hear it, go up!"

Xin Du raised his body and yelled at the front, as the commander of the first army, of course, there could not be only decorations on his ship, all the armaments and ordnance were there, there was no shortage of stone throwers and crossbow machines, and the crossbowmen and armor soldiers were the best in the whole army.

The commanders of the first army moved, how could the surrounding warships look at it, so, looking from a distance, it was the main ship of the Song people with a few warships, and the main ship of the Yuan people approached each other in a narrow sea area until the moment of close contact.

"You can't avoid it, all the soldiers are ready, hold on to your body." After Du Tong discovered their intentions, there was no room to turn, was this going to fight to the death, he gave the order without any thought, and at the same time glanced behind him, across a helm platform, the old man tied to the back mast gently closed his eyes, waiting for the impact.

"Boom!" The two big ships that were moving forward at full speed collided head-on, and the huge impact force made the heavy angle of attack on the Song people's ship fiercely embedded into the bow of the other party, piercing the thick wooden plank, and revealing a pointed end on the hull. whereas

Due to the action of inertia, the two forces are staggered, so that the two boats are entangled together and begin to spin in the seawater, which is inseparable for a while.

"Pick up the knife and gun, and rush up to Lao Tzu!"

Xin Du howled like a madman, he keenly felt an opportunity, in the bow of the ship, the Song people had no way to attack, the two ships were now connected together, which was equivalent to a broadside battle without a broadside, such an opportunity, wouldn't it be heaven's help.

"Two fingers, change the direction, crossbowmen, set up the formation, the sword card is in front, ready to charge the formation." Du Tong's face was extremely calm, and there was no anxiety about engaging in battle.
