Now, according to Jeluheich's judgment, the ships of the two sides should still be separated by some distance, but the three ships surrounding them can be burned and on fire, so there is only one possibility, that is, the other party used rockets, and only when there are crossbow arrows for long-range suppression, can completely let no one dare to put out the fire on their three ships, or greatly obstruct the firefighting, so it will cause the current situation.

In fact, Jelu Haiqi's guess is very close to the truth, the reason why he, like Jing Zhe, sped up to catch up, in addition to seeing what the specific situation was in front of him, if his side suffered a lot of damage, take advantage of the fact that the fire has not affected the whole ship now, and see if he can save the remaining people.

There is another point that Yelu Haiqi wants to confirm, if the first three ships, especially the ship where Yelu Servant is located, if there are heavy casualties, or even that the whole army has been wiped out, then he Yelu Haiqi will immediately take Yelu Junmao as far as he can, and return directly to Liao. It's not too late to take revenge later, first ensure the safety of your life and then think about the follow-up.

Because Wu Chengye fled to the stern of the ship to chop the planks, he was the first to find the two ships that were getting closer and closer behind him, and his frustration was slightly relieved, and he cheered up and said: "Brothers, the helper is here, we are all saved!" ”

Everyone turned their heads when they heard this, and sure enough, they found two small bright spots just behind, if it was still the original kind of moonlight, such a distance could still be seen clearly, but now the night sky is full of dark clouds, resulting in a dark surface on the river, and only through the occasional moment of lightning splitting, and the two lights in the darkness, these two should be the ships of the Jing gang leader and the two deputy gang leaders who were left behind by them before.

If you sail at night, you will light a few lights around the ship, and you are afraid that in the dark night, other ships are also sailing at night, and if you accidentally collide with it, it will be the end of the ship's destruction and death.

The crowd shouted in unison, even the other four ships heard it, and they all looked in their direction together, not knowing what was happening, but the men on the two ships of Grimmie and Jerome also saw the two points of light a mile behind.

When they saw this situation and combined with the cheers on Wu Chengye's ship, they could immediately guess that the two ships behind them had finally come, and now as long as they could continue to survive, from the perspective of time, they would definitely be able to survive until the two ships behind them, so that they could be saved. Everyone on both ships, like the people on Wu Chengye's ship, also let out hysterical cheers.

This kind of life ups and downs, from despair to surprise, and then from surprise to slow wear, to anxiety and restlessness, and now, it gives them great hope, which makes their emotions fluctuate violently, so in this case, they will cheer loudly one by one and vent the negative emotions in their hearts.

As for Yun Qing, Liu Baiqing and Mu Hong, they looked at each other, they hadn't figured out what the situation was, and why the other party was cheering together in unison in such a passive situation. Yun Qing suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and guessed that it might be the other party's remaining two ships that had arrived.

Anyway, now the other party doesn't dare to come out at all, and now the boat they are facing at the stern, the canvas on the front half of the deck has been completely ignited and on fire, the flames are very high, and there is smoke, and it is not clear what is behind it, so Yun Qing hurriedly ran from the stern to the pole with the canvas hanging in front, climbed to it, took out the clairvoyant mirror to watch, and then slid down neatly.

"Cloud Commander, what's the situation?" Mu Hong and Liu Baiqing also followed Yun Qing in front of the runway, knowing that Yun Qing must have found something, so they asked.

"It's the two ships behind them that are about to approach, if my estimate is correct, it should be Jing Zhe, Liu Junmao, and Wang Haiqi, but I don't know if there are many people on their two ships, I'm afraid that they will far exceed these three."

"What are you afraid of! With our wooden arrows and rockets, kill as many as you want! I don't believe they're going to have a thousand people! Mu Hong gritted his teeth and said, it was the three of them who caused him so badly, and now since he sent them to the door when he had the advantage, he wished that they would come, and he would definitely shoot them fiercely when the time came.

"They are coming, then the people on these three boats have been saved, originally they were either burned to death, or forced to jump into the river, that is also very dangerous, if the two ships that come behind now rescue all the people on the three boats, the number will far exceed us several times." Yun Qing shook her head and said a little worriedly.

"However, we didn't make more than a thousand wooden arrows, we only shot less than 300 in front, we should still be enough, before they get close to us, if we reload faster, we can shoot several rounds, how can we kill more than 200 people." Mu Hong didn't quite understand why, when there were crossbow arrows and there were enough arrows, Yun Qing suddenly began to worry that the gap between the numbers between the two sides was too large.

Yun Qing knew that Mu Hong didn't think of the idea, so he explained: "The distance of our crossbow arrows is only a hundred paces at most, and they can fix the sails at one hundred and fifty paces and approach us at full speed, and then their people hide and do not appear on the deck, either in the cabin, or behind the railing on the deck, lying on their stomachs or squatting, so that our arrows cannot shoot them at all." ”

Yun Qing kicked the railing with his foot and continued, "If they wait until the two boats are close together before they stand up and rush up to kill us, what can we do?" Even if we can kill them, we can't kill more than 70 of them. ”

Yun Qing showed a wry smile on his face, and the expression on his face was depressed, it would be good if it didn't rain, "And you look at the weather, it is estimated that there will be heavy rain and thundershowers soon, in the heavy rain, we use wooden arrows, whether it is in range or accuracy, it will be greatly affected." ”

"We can shoot ......the sails with rockets," Mu Hong said halfway before he stopped talking, he also realized that if it really rained, the sails would inevitably be wet, and even if you burned the soaked canvas, you had to burn all the water in the canvas before it could burn.

Especially this kind of canvas that is soaked in a large area, the oilcloth on those rockets, for a large canvas, is like a spark, completely useless.
