However, although Wu Chengye avoided the lethal design, the other people who were huddled together were not so lucky, they just didn't have a chance to pull the people next to them, and they didn't have this kind of consciousness and skill, and when the eyes reached the crossbow arrow in their brains, it was too late to summon their bodies.

The people who were proud of being crowded at the front before now don't even have a chance to regret it, and they die one after another under the crossbow arrows that flew over. The descendants in front of them saw with their own eyes that they were still competing for positions with themselves just now, and some people were talking and laughing, and they died in front of them at such a close distance, and they were all frightened and retreated, which is an instinct of normal people.

But the current situation is because it is too squeezed forward, so the effect of the hind legs is not very ideal, and at the moment of life and death, who can maintain absolute calm, one by one panicked and squeezed back, and even some people were squeezed down and were trampled on all the time, and finally seemed to be dying.

Just after the first round of crossbow bolts, nineteen people on Wu Chengye's ship died under the crossbow arrows. It is equivalent to Yun inviting them to their side, a total of twenty-three people, and four of them did not hit the target with crossbow arrows, and these four people happened to be Li Sanliang and the other three squads.

Their arrows were either high and flew through the crowd or low and ended up on the hull of the boat, and the crossbow arrows they shot themselves, although they couldn't see them very clearly, especially when it was dark at that time, a volley of arrows hit a vast number of arrows, but they could still feel it when they shot it themselves.

And Yun Qing, as a master, can naturally find that four of them are not completely crooked, Yun Qing took the time to look at Li Sanliang and the others when he reloaded the arrows, and they also realized that they were unbearable, and they all lowered their heads in embarrassment.

"Don't think too much, hurry up and get on the arrows, shoot as many as you can!" When Yun Qing saw their performance, he knew that he had made the same mistake that newcomers would make on the battlefield, and while suffering from gains and losses, it was also very easy to put his thoughts and time on regret and guilt. On the battlefield, this kind of place where life and death can be separated in an instant, where even a small detail can reverse the whole situation, where you are still allowed to regret and be in a daze over there.

After Yun Qing's prompt, Li Sanliang and the others hurriedly loaded the arrows, and by the time they finished loading and planned to design, the remaining Taibai Secret Guards had already been shot in the second round.

At this time, there were no people on the splints of the enemy ships in the distance, either they were shot or wounded and lying on the ground, or they were reminded by Wu Chengye to quickly squat down or lie down. Where could they have imagined that they were originally just swords, why did the other party suddenly take out crossbow arrows and shoot them.

On the one hand, it is too sudden, on the other hand, the power of the crossbow arrow is too huge, and it is on the river, the dispatch of this kind of ship is far less flexible than the human body, if it is a master, at least it can be moved around, how do you let a behemoth ship understand. Moreover, at this time, the ship itself has no power, and it is all dependent on the wind and the direction, size, and open arc of the sail to control the direction and course of the ship.

This is not something that can be solved by one person, but must be done by several experienced and tacit veterans, who used to control the sails on deck, but now that the situation is so dangerous, they are all fleeing for their lives.

Either lie on the deck so that no one can be shot, or take advantage of the early escape to the cabin, everyone on the ship is dodging, and no one raises their heads to observe whether there are still people on Mu Hong's ship who continue to shoot arrows.

This situation also happened on the ships of Ge Mi and Yelu Servant, the two of them were on both sides of Mu Hong's ship, when the first round of crossbow arrows was fired, they also did not react, and even Ge Mi became the first target of Liu Baiqing because he stood at the front, his strength was not as good as Wu Chengye, and his luck was worse than him, and he was directly hit by an arrow in the heart, and Liu Baiqing was aiming at this part before, and died on the spot.

Along with him died, there were several people who were crowded in the front row with him, and coincidentally, it was the small leader of all the personnel in the ship who was crowded in front, because a hundred people were divided into ten squads, and exactly ten captains were standing in the front, and all of them were shot on the spot, and the casualties were mixed, three of them were seriously wounded, one was lightly wounded, and the remaining six were all dead. The only person who could command was the one who was slightly wounded in the middle of his left arm.

It's just that no matter how he shouts and screams, it won't help, the people on the boat still don't listen to him, and they are still busy crowding around, this is their situation is exactly the same as the situation on Wu Chengye's ship, where can they still squeeze out, and even fell several because of the crowding and dodging, but as long as the one who fell down was not trampled to death, even if he was lucky.

Because of the chaos of the situation, everyone did not do a good job of effectively avoiding it, and it also gave Liu Baiqing a chance to shoot the second round, and more than 20 people were shot. The same situation also made the birth on the side of Mu Hong and Fu'an, and the ship where Yelu was also fired two rounds of crossbow arrows.

However, because they themselves are members of the Liao army, their discipline is much better than that of the grass gang under Jing Zhe, so they were shot more than 20 in the first round because of surprise, and in the second round, everyone obeyed Yelu's orders and effectively squatted or lay down, so only a few people were shot in the second round.

Moreover, several of the more than 20 people shot in the first round were only injured, but only a few were hit by arrows in the second round, and all of them were killed. Because by the time the people on Mu Hong's side fired the second round of crossbow arrows, only a few of them were still standing on the entire deck because they couldn't dodge, which was equivalent to more than twenty people shooting at these four or five people in a volley, so everyone was hit by three or four arrows, and they all died thoroughly.

But fortunately, the people standing in front of the ship of Yelu are all some small minions, but the leaders are all standing behind, after all, the people below have won the battle merits, and their leaders also have a share, so none of them are as active as other ships. all stood in the back to "supervise the battle", but this move allowed them to escape.

On the other hand, because the Liao people are too familiar with the outward bow and arrow, and Da Yan strictly prohibits bows and arrows, so they only brought knives to Da Yan this time, and nothing else, at this time, they can only dodge aggrievedly, so that the opponent's crossbow arrows are rampant but there is no way to fight back.

They didn't dare to come out to see if the other party was still aiming at them, and for them who developed archery skills as a racial talent, they naturally knew that in front of the archery master, as long as a human arrow came over immediately, no one dared to take this risk.

The crew members who control the ship on the ship threw down the sails one by one and jumped into the cabin, although they all belonged to the Cao Gang, but they were just ordinary crews, let them follow behind and shout blindly, for the tiger, the dog fight is okay, if they let them rush to the front line desperately, then they all stay away.

At this time, Yun Qing and the others, after two rounds of shooting, saw that no one on the opposite deck came out as a live target, and they knew that the other party was already scared, and there should be no one to come forward in a short time, so they ordered everyone to be notified and all of them were replaced with special rockets.

Then the arrowhead part is tied to the soaked oil step and lit on the charcoal brazier, and then the angle of the crossbow arrow design is adjusted to shoot from the bottom up, to the upper part of the sail. Because there was no one on the deck of the three ships opposite at this time, the three groups of people Yun Qing, Liu Baiqing and Mu Hong were all ready for a long time.

You are not in a hurry for a generation, and in the ten-person team of Li Sanliang and Lei Laohu, many of them did not play very well in the first and second rounds of archery, and they all missed their heads, and their mentality could not be stabilized, resulting in the second round of archery, and few of the ten of them were able to complete it successfully.

So this time it wasn't so urgent to shoot the rocket, they had time to prepare, and the sail target was big, so it would definitely be able to shoot on the canvas, so the mentality was calmed down, so that the play could be more stable.

Wu Chengye lay on the deck, pricking up his ears to listen to the sound of arrows breaking through the air, but except for the first round, he saw it, and in the second round, he heard the sound of bows and arrows bursting through the air, and then for a period of time, he didn't hear the sound of sharp arrows piercing through the air. So he was also wondering, could it be that there were not enough bows and arrows on the other side?

He thought so, after all, although the crossbow arrow was not banned by the Great Yan like the bow and arrow, it was not an ordinary weapon, and the cost was not cheap, not only the crossbow arrow itself was expensive, but also the arrows needed to be specially made, because they were short arrows, and the arrows of the bow and arrow were not the same.

So even the amount of war reserves will be much smaller than that of other conventional weapons. And the general competition in the rivers and lakes is a competition of swords, fists and feet, and occasionally there will be an axe, an iron whip, Wu hook and other unpopular weapons, but it will not be used in the form of archery to compete with each other.

In Wu Chengye's mind, everyone is a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, not a confrontation between the two armies, why did the other party suddenly start shooting arrows when he was good, which made him feel quite aggrieved in his heart, this is simply bullying, but he has no choice.

At this moment, all the ships on the river suddenly fell silent, and no other sound came from it except the wailing of the person who had been shot on the ground. And this quiet period is still a bit long,

Thinking about it for various reasons, Wu Chengye will have the previous judgment, that is, the other party's arrows are not enough, so there is no sharp arrow to break through the air.

Just as Wu Chengye was hesitating whether to probe to look at the other party's Mu Hong's movements, he heard Yun Qing's "Archery!" in his ears again. The roar frightened him and quickly lowered his head again.
