Chapter 162: Grabbing
General Liu A stood naked at the bow of the ship, holding a large iron shield in his left hand and a hook knife in his right hand.
The hook knife is shaped like a firewood knife, which is the weapon used by the natives of western Guangdong, and it is also a tool of life.
This is a weapon improved according to Ge, which can be chopped, hooked and pecked.
Ordinary leather armor, wooden armor, and two-crotch armor are useless against the Divine Soldier Fang Tianhalberd, or the Qingyu Sword, unless you wear two layers of fish-scale iron armor.
But the two-layer iron armor is bloated, and many elite foot soldiers can wear the two-layer iron armor to charge into battle, and they can also fight, but they look clumsy when facing Tian Xin, and the gaps and weaknesses in the armor have become fatal points.
Now it's another water war, so I simply abandon my armor and go forward to fight with extreme lightweight.
Liu Ah was standing on the first deck, surrounded by swords and shields.
The oncoming northwest wind blew on his face, and Liu A saw that the boat did not slow down, nor was he afraid: "The other boat is light, my ship is heavy, meet it!" ”
"Beat the drums!"
"Accelerate!"
Liu A's twelve three-tooth battleships beat their drums one after another, and before the drums could be heard, they collided with the seven battleships of Tianzi in the Yanxing Array.
Tian Xin stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the Wu army's warships that were getting closer and closer, seeing the nervous faces of the other party's officials, and seeing their tanned shoulders, arms, and swollen muscles.
There was not a trace of fluctuation on his face, just his legs slightly bent at the knees, hunched over, and measured the distance between them.
The crossbowmen on the second and third floors of the wooden building behind him were the first to fire, and the other side also rained arrows, and only a few arrows flew over Tian Xin's head and were nailed to the leather shield behind.
"Kill"
When they collided, he jumped to his feet, and then the two battleships collided together, and the waves gushed out, and the sergeants on board were unsteady on their feet, shaking in unison.
The crossbowmen on the second and third floors of each other stopped firing in unison, clutching the guardrail, and there were still scattered crossbowmen and drummers falling from the wooden building, screaming and screaming.
Not only the seven lightly armed three-tooth battleships, but also the Wu army battleships suffered heavy losses in an instant, and the oarsmen in the cabin were all stunned, and some were thrown away without grasping steadily.
On deck, the phenomenon is even more intense, where most people are blocked by the guardrails, and some still fall or fall onto the other party's ship.
Zhu Ran on the south bank stood on the watchtower to watch the battle, grasping the guardrail with both hands, staring at the two sides of the battle, and vaguely saw a figure jumping into the deck of the Wu army.
At this time, Guan Yu's main battleship group still maintained a formation and sailed from the upstream, five miles away from Tian Xin, and the distance of five miles was very close for the battleship group that was smooth sailing, but Zhou Tai threw out the large and small outlier battleships, and turned over to harass them, trying to delay.
The seven battleships where Tian Xin was located had all been forced to stop by Liu A, and the warships on both sides were seriously damaged, and there were also Wu army's outliering warships and walkers on the north and south sides to join the battle, which took less than five minutes, which was enough to surround Tian Xin.
When Tian Xin landed, a shield smashed on the face of a staggered forward Wu Jun, and the smashed Wu Jun's head shrank, and his body fell backwards into the crowd.
Taking advantage of the situation, Tian Xin barely stood on the shaking deck, and knocked away another Wu Jun with a backhand shield, unloading a lot of strength and standing firmly on the deck.
As soon as he stood firm, a Wu Jun reacted and exclaimed in surprise and raised his hook knife to stab.
The hook knife was blunt, but the Qingyu sword was faster, and Tian Xin twisted his waist and turned around and held it backwards into the man's chest and abdomen.
When Tian Xin turned around, he let go of the abandoned sword and shield with both hands, pulled out the white rainbow sword from the copper sword box behind his waist with his right hand, touched the hilt of the green sword with his left hand, twisted his waist and drew the sword, the sharp blade cut through the opponent's chest and abdomen, and the blood wet the deck in an instant.
At this time, the Wu soldiers on the deck stood firm, some wanted to jump to help, and some came to surround and kill Tian Xin, and the deck with a length and width of three or four zhang was instantly killed, which had overshadowed the drums of both sides.
On the battleship on the side, Liu A saw that Tian Xin had jumped to board his own battleship, and couldn't help but stare at Tian Xin's place with wide eyes and shouted: "The enemy will be here!" ”
"The enemy is here!"
The soldiers on the left and right shouted with him, and at this time the drummers on both sides stood firm and began to beat the drums again, and the drums rumbled.
On the three-story wooden building of Liu A's battleship, a blue and red long immediately shook from side to side, pointing at Tian Xin, and then shook left and right, and then pointed at Tian Xin.
Liu Ah Changlu waved and pointed, and the Wu army officials near and far shouted and urged, almost the best chance to besiege Tian Xin at this moment!
On the deck, Tian Xin's double sword waved, so fast that even Liu A of the battleship next door couldn't see clearly, only to see his own sword and shield like a straw man was cut down by Tian Xin, Tian Xin took a 'の' shaped path on the deck, and cut down a circle of Wu soldiers on the deck from the inside out.
The deck wood is painted to resist decay and does not suck blood.
After Tian Xin finished cutting in a circle, except for Wu Bing, who was incomplete and wailing in pain, there was only one piece after another on the entire deck, a pool of blood that slowly grew.
Before some Wu soldiers could react, they were cut down by the Qingyu Sword and the Baihong Sword, and the iron-inlaid leather shield was not a problem, and when the heavier and thicker hook knife in his hand was slashed against Tian Xin, it was either set aside or cut off.
"Prince! Halberd! ”
Behind him, the Han army jumped up, a military official shouted, Tian Xin spread his arms and pressed the two swords into the sword box, and the tight tension spring inside made a harsh sound.
He turned around and stretched out his arm to catch the Fang Tian halberd thrown over, and under the horrified gaze of Wu Jun, the two battleships next door, Tian Xin struggled to slash at the wooden building, and immediately cut off the pillar and broke the wooden plank to reveal a large hollow, and the crossbowmen and drummers on it jumped off the ship and fled.
From the perspective of the structure of the ship, if you want to go to the second and third floors, you can only walk from the cabin, and there are no stairs or ropes outside.
Seeing that the Wu army battleship on one side was less than five steps away, Tian Xin rushed and jumped with a halberd in both hands, stepped on the deck guardrail to borrow strength, and before the halberd came, he forced several people to land smoothly.
Tian Xin used Fang Tian's halberd to block, the side branches and hook knives hung together, everyone shouted and pulled, and even hooked knives hung on the halberd rod to pull.
"Halberd!"
"The halberd is gone!"
"Halberd! The halberd is gone! ”
A nearby Wu military official screamed excitedly, and the drummer upstairs beat the drum even harder.
These Wu troops worked together to snatch Fang Tian's halberd, some wanted to snatch it, and some raised their shields and raised their knives to fight, while Tian Xin had to pull out the two swords of Qingyu and Baihong again, and sighed lightly.
The blood stained on his body during the previous battle was not cold, and the bell was also stained with blood, and the bell sounded a lot hoarse when his posture trembled.
Holding a sword in front of him, looking at these unarmored Wu soldiers who were eager to try, Tian Xin squeezed out a smile and asked, "Who will come first?" ”
"All together! Kill him! ”
Wu Junjun Hou shouted and urged, caught the Fang Tian halberd handed by his subordinates, and reluctantly threw it towards the battleship on the other side.
Seeing that Fang Tian's halberd was thrown away, Tian Xin stepped forward and was about to fight, while the crossbowmen on the second and third floors of the wooden building on one side aimed at him, and he only had time to grab a Wu army to protect him in front of him, and seven or eight Wu soldiers around him were all hit by arrows, wailing and scolding and falling to the ground.
And the battleship building that got Fang Tian's halberd, the ship's crossbowmen also aimed at it together, Tian Xin rushed into the cabin nearby, and the poor military officer who commanded the oarsmen inside was stabbed by Tian Xin's sword before he could react.
He saw the panicked paddlers in the cabin paddling hard, and the cracked bilge was bubbling up, submerging the paddler's calves.
Ignoring it, Tian Xin turned around and went towards the second floor to kill, where did the crossbowmen and drummers on the second and third floors dare to wait for him to come up, they have already jumped ship.
"I'm still too soft-hearted."
Tian Xin flashed his head, dodged a round of arrow rain, and came up again to see the crossbowman on the boat next door was winding, and the archer had completed a new round of bowing, and when he appeared, more than a dozen arrows flew in, Tian Xin swung his sword left and right, and two nearby arrows were knocked away.
He then strode up to the third floor and rushed towards the enemy ship three feet away, and as soon as he landed on the first deck of the ship, the crossbowmen on the second and third floors of the enemy ship jumped into the river one after another to escape.
And the Wu army officials on this battleship were even more decisive, turning around and jumping off ship with Fang Tianhalberd in their arms, where did the other Wu soldiers dare to stay for a long time, and they jumped into the water and fled.
Tian Xin picked up a shield to protect his Fang Tianji in front of him, but saw that the Wu army soldiers in the river were stabbed in the eye sockets by the Wu soldiers who came by the boat, and the other Wu army raised the Wu hook and cut off the arms of the military officials, and wanted to leave with Fang Tianji.
He didn't take seven or eight steps to turn around, and the five Wu soldiers on the boat were killed by the sudden rain of arrows, and Zhou Tai's five-tooth battleship slowly approached, and the crossbowmen turned and aimed at Tian Xin.
The real rain of arrows, one after another, round after round, on the deck and on the wooden building, was covered with white feather arrows in a short time.
It has only been five or six minutes since the engagement, the battleship group led by Guan Yu broke through the harassment, finally arrived, and began to shoot at Zhou Tai's battleship group, the two sides went out to kill, the blood and water stained the red river, and the corpses of one after another floated in the water and drifted eastward, as well as the white feather arrows and brown feather arrows on both sides.
