When Wu Chengye heard the roar of "archery" in his ears again, his mentality was different again, the first time was panic and fear, which was an instinctive reaction of people in the face of dangers beyond their expectations. But now it's different, everyone is either lying down or half-squatting on his orders.

Therefore, no matter how much the crossbow arrows are shot now, they can't shoot them, unless the other party shoots them into the sky, and then falls on their heads in the form of an arc, but this kind of distance and wind direction, as well as the archer's own ability, is too demanding, so Wu Chengye is not very worried.

Even because they felt that the other party was wasting arrows and strength, when they were still more than a hundred steps away from the opponent's ship, because the two were very close, so there was no need to rely on the zigzag to change direction to get closer, so they just adjusted the angle and arc of the sail, and then fixed the ropes, so that the boat could approach Mu Hong's ship in a fixed direction with the help of the wind.

So at this time, although the crew controlling the sails was already frightened and fled, the ship still approached the ship where Mu Hong was in the originally scheduled direction.

Wu Chengye is confident that when the two ships are close, the rest of them will be able to rush up and avenge the brothers who died just now, after all, it is not one of their ships that is besieging Mu Hong now, but a whole three.

Even if each of them was like his case, more than 30 people died in the first two rounds of archery, then each ship still had more than 70 people in stock, and if it was three times, there were more than 200 people, and it would be easy to deal with these more than 70 people with more than 200 people, this is Wu Chengye's inner thoughts.

So now the more they shoot arrows, the more arrows they waste, and the safer they will be when they board the ship in the future. He didn't believe that everyone would have so many arrows on their bodies, and that there would always be a time when they would shoot out, and then it would depend on how hard they tortured these people who were shooting arrows so happily now.

It's just that Wu Chengye's happy expression on his face didn't last long, and he heard the shouts of the people around him: "Rockets, they shoot rockets!" ”

Because those who were half-squatting or lying on their backs happened to see Yun Qing and the others shooting rockets at the sails, and naturally exclaimed when they saw it.

Wu Chengye heard the screams and quickly turned over and became lying down, and sure enough, he saw that the top of the sail was pierced by more than a dozen rockets at this time, but because the burning oilcloth was tied, after the arrow passed through the canvas, its own strength was much less, plus the obstruction of the oilcloth, so every arrow was just stuck on the sail.

Now the tarpaulin was blazing with flames, and the gray-white canvas was scorched black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the sails were set on fire.

"Fight the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! Wu Chengye hurriedly shouted after seeing it, he knew how dangerous it would be if there was a fire on the boat, especially if they were driving on the Yangtze River like they were now, jumping into the river was basically a dead end, and if they stayed on the boat and let the fire spread, they would not be able to escape death in the end.

Otherwise, Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops would not have been wiped out by Zhou Yu's burning in Chibi, which also made the latter gain a great reputation in history.

Therefore, the fire on the ship was a very serious accident, so that Wu Chengye still forgot about this incident excitedly under the premise that the enemy had just shot more than 30 people with crossbow arrows, but instinctively shouted for fire.

Wu Chengye is still a little prestigious, and these gangs under him are usually veterans who often run luck, so they naturally know the danger of a fire on the ship, and there are really more than a dozen people who stand up at the moment and really plan to put out the fire, but the reality is cruel.

They had just stood up, and before they could go to fetch water to fight the fire, they were already noticed by Yun Qing and the others, who had replaced them with homemade wooden arrows early after shooting rockets, and everyone shot arrows together and killed them.

Standing up just now was the most instinctive reaction of these people at the moment, and they didn't even take into account that there were people behind them staring at them at this time, just waiting for them to come up and shoot them.

After experiencing the information that more than a dozen people were at the cost of their lives, everyone did not dare to stand up, at this time the top of the sail had burned in many places, but the fire was burning upward, and there was nothing to burn on the top of the sail itself, Wu Chengye thought that if the rope used to pull up the canvas on the top of the sail was burned off, then the canvas would fall down, but it would be convenient for them to extinguish the fire.

At the top of the sail, you have to stand up and splash with water, but when you get below, it's much simpler, whether it's water, or something, or something like sand, even if one person soaks in urine, there are still more than seventy people, and it can theoretically be destroyed.

It's just that they haven't rejoiced yet, the other party's second round of rockets is coming again, this time hitting the middle of the sail, if the middle of the sail is also on fire in a large area, then it will be difficult to extinguish, and now they can already smell the pungent and strong smell of smoke.

It's a little unbearable to smoke, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to wait like this. At this time, Wu Chengye had already half-squatted up, and secretly raised half of his head to watch what was the situation of Yun Qing and the others at this time, but his head had just been raised, and he instantly saw more than a dozen people on the opposite side instantly turning the direction of the crossbow arrow in their hands and shooting at his head.

Frightened, he quickly crouched down again, and several arrows ran through his hair.

"!" Wu Cheng waved his right hand and slammed it on the deck, since he joined the Cao Gang, he had never fought such an aggrieved battle, their three ships surrounded and suppressed one, more than 300 people dealt with more than 70 people, they all thought that they would be able to capture it and take it steadily, who knew that it was the current situation.

At this time, he wanted to shout: "What kind of hero is to have the ability to fight each other openly and shoot people from afar!" ”

It's a pity that he can only shout depressed and manic in his heart, if he really shouts like this in reality, he doesn't have to think about it and knows that he will definitely be laughed at and killed, why didn't he say that he was a hero when more than 300 people chased and killed more than 70 people before.

Now, whether it is Wu Chengye, Ge Mi, or Yelu Servant, they are all facing the same bad situation, that is, they dare not show their heads at all, and can only passively and passively watch the sail fire become more and more fierce and intense. Even the poles of the ship were spread by the fire of the canvas and burst into flames.

"Boss Wu, what now?" There was also a person squatting next to Wu Chengye, and at this time he also looked at Wu Chengye helplessly and asked, obviously he had forgotten that someone asked this before, but now everyone is dead.

Sure enough, Wu Chengye, who had already been upset and manic, was instantly furious after listening to this person's question, raised his hand to the man's face with a crisp slap, and roared: "If you ask me, who will I ask, if I knew what to do, I would have let you do it a long time ago, and I would be squatting here now and indifferent!" ”

After speaking, he still didn't understand his hatred, and slapped the other side of the man's face again, and made a "snap" again.

The man seemed to be completely stunned by Wu Chengye, and looked at Wu Chengye in disbelief.

"Look at what? Believe it or not, I'll kill you! Wu Chengye glared at the man with his eyes in his eyes.

The man only reacted now, covering the swollen right side of his face with his right hand, and lowered his head to no longer look at Wu Chengye, but no one could see the hatred and viciousness that burst out of his eyes when he lowered his head.

After Wu Chengye slapped him twice, he seemed to be in a slightly manic mood in his heart, raised his head and looked at the fire on the sail, and hurriedly said: "Everyone move, run to the cabin, quickly, or to the stern, the rope on the top of this sail is about to be burned, and the whole canvas is about to fall off, if we don't run away quickly, everyone will be crushed underneath, and then they will be suffocated or burned to death, and those who want to live hurry up!" ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Chengye himself took the lead in crawling towards the cabin and the stern of the ship, and the others also followed suit, either half-squatting and trotting quickly, or crawling and moving quickly, everyone also raised their heads and looked at the sails after hearing Wu Chengye's order, and found that the flames on the top really burned the rope, and it looked like it was about to be burned off.

Including the people who were slapped twice by Wu Chengye just now, they all hurriedly lay on the ground and quickly crawled to the cabin. As they struggled to move, the fire on the sails was already burning very violently, making all sorts of crackling and exploding sounds. Even so, they heard the familiar sound of arrows breaking through the air, and a third salvo of rockets sent rockets to the bottom of the sails.

After Wu Chengye turned his head and glanced at the sails, he understood the other party's plan, but at this moment, time was pressing, and he could only quickly turn around and continue to crawl forward after taking a look. At this point, sail fires were unavoidable, and the current situation could not be saved. He could only hope that the fire would be extinguished as soon as the sails were burned.

But it backfired, and suddenly, even as they were crawling on the deck, they felt that the wind seemed to increase, and the fire on the sails became more violent, and more than half of the poles hanging the sails were now completely burned, making the fire even more alarming.

After this period of climbing, Wu Chengye finally climbed into the cabin, hiding behind the wall to watch the situation outside, at this time the canvas suddenly fell to the ground and smashed on the deck, the movement was great, but with the overall fall, it seems that the open flames on the canvas have been smashed much weaker, if someone can quickly pounce on the water at this time, then this fire can be avoided.

It's just that before Wu Chengye became happy, the upper half of the pole had already been burned and distorted, and the whole fell down and smashed on the canvas, making the fire that had just weakened fierce again.

Wu Chengye slammed his fist on the wooden wall for the second time, making a loud "bang".
