The three sailors immediately turned around and rushed to the stern corner, and the sailors beside them immediately stepped forward to fill their empty slots and prevent the pirates from taking a single step.

The man at the front was the lookout who spotted the pirates, and he lifted the large, heavy raincloth to expose the perfectly sleek and sharp cloud-piercing ballista into the air.

Anyone who sees this cloud-piercing ballista can't help but marvel, it is the top craft in the world, but it is also the biggest killer! Its crossbow arm is made of the finest jujube wood, painted with moisture-resistant lacquer, and the delicate crossbow machine is hidden within the wooden box, and the little finger-thick crossbow string is made of several ox tendons, covered with raw cowhide, and fastened tightly to the crossbow teeth.

The man loaded the special seven-foot crossbow arrow into the arrow slot, and after only roughly aiming in one direction, he immediately pulled the hanging knife and launched the crossbow arrow.

The crossbow arrow was shot at a very fast speed, and the small sound it brought was also muffled by the shouts around it, and it leaped with great might, and after piercing the bodies of five pirates in a row, it nailed their corpses to the side of the ship, Wang Ji's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

These guys actually have cloud-piercing crossbows?! The cloud-piercing ballista is probably one of the most wanted things in the world, the cloud-piercing ballista is huge, it can easily penetrate an inch-thick wooden board within a hundred steps, and even a half-finger-thick iron wall can be pierced, but at the same time, because its production process is extremely complicated, since the death of Fu Jun of the "ghost axe", no one in the world can recreate a cloud-piercing ballista, in the Daxi army, only if he has made great military achievements, or the official position of the owner is high enough, can he be equipped with a cloud-piercing crossbow on the ship. Before and after the sale, five cloud-piercing ballistas flowed into the people, but I didn't expect one of them to be on this Yun'an.

"Little ones!" Wang Ji suddenly took a heavy step forward and yelled at his subordinates beside him, "Take this ship, I only need that ballista for everything on board!" I'll give you the rest! ”

"The one who takes the first credit! Another 100 taels of gold! ”

The pirates erupted in a shout, and more and more people flocked to the side of the ship, they jumped on the gangplank, desperately jumped onto Yun'an, and fought with the sailors on Yun'an, swords and blood splashed.

"Brother Su!" Yu Zhi suddenly roared, he turned his head to look at Su Jingchen's side, and at the same time slashed over a pirate in front of him with a knife, "Help me continue to block those pirates from coming!" There are too many of them, and if they continue like this, the ship will not be able to hold it! ”

Su Jingchen nodded, and immediately raised his bow to aim, every time there was one less arrow in his quiver, there would be one less rope on the pirate ship, and occasionally he would fall to the sea with the pirates, in fact, he didn't know that he also knew that if he let those pirates come over, Yun An would really not be able to save it.

But even if Su Jingchen used all his strength to shoot all the arrows in the quiver, he could only slightly stop the speed of the pirates coming to Yun'an, and those few planks on the sides of the two ships were the real problem, as long as those hooks and sickles and planks were still there, the pirates could come here in a steady stream.

A pirate armed with a short-handled half-moon axe suddenly fell from the sky, and before Su Jingchen could shoot his rope, the pirate swung the axe and directly smashed the chest of a sailor in front of him into a dent, spurting out a large area of blood, staining the axe and his clothes blood-red.

The pirate with the half-moon axe raised the axe in his hand and was about to cheer, when a long knife suddenly pierced his chest, and then pulled it out violently, leaving an unsightly corpse on the deck.

To the north-east, the wind suddenly swept in a thick, tumbling dark cloud that swallowed up the sunlight and clouds around it, and the seabirds flapped their wings with all their might to fly away from the black cloud, and it looked like it would be an unprecedented storm.

The first to arrive here was the wind mixed with salty seawater, the arrival of this black cloud suddenly changed the direction of the wind on the sea, the sea breeze stirred the sails, the sails hunted in the wind, the cables flew, those pirates hanging on the cables spun in the air, how could not find a place to land, but did not dare to let go, had to desperately grab into the cable, afraid of falling into the water, such a storm, if you can't return to the ship, except for the length of time, it is no different from death.

Su Jingchen's clothes flew up, and the arrows shook in the wind, with such a wind, it was impossible for him to shoot the next arrow anyway, but he squinted his eyes and saw the direction where Wang Ji was, and still shot the arrow.

Sure enough, as soon as the arrow left the string, it was crumbling by the wind, and after flying a short distance unwillingly, it fell crookedly into the sea, 108,000 miles away from the target he was aiming at.

Yu Zhi's hair fluttered in the air, and he almost couldn't open his eyes from the fierce wind, he stretched out a hand to block his eyes, turned around and yelled at the person behind him, "Turn the rudder right!" Open all the sails! Burn the wind! ”

"Turn the rudder right! Open all the sails! Burn the wind! The sailor behind Yu Zhi repeated to the people behind him.

"Turn the rudder right! Open all the sails! ......”

The deputy owner finally heard this, he swung his knife horizontally, forced back the pirates in front of him, and then turned and retreated, the sailors around him immediately stepped forward to protect him, and the crew near the rope buckle all turned around to untie the rope, stained with blood and sea water and ground cables flew in the air, Yun'an's ship speed increased suddenly, and he was about to get out of the control of the pirate ship, but those pirates still did not give up, and threw out more hook sickles and ziplines, wanting to drag Yun'an to the death and prevent it from escaping.

Yu Zhi leaned forward, walking like a leopard, his target was the planks, as well as the hook and sickle and the zipline, as long as those things remained on Yun An's ship, Yun An would not be safe.

Although the sea breeze temporarily prevented the pirates from boarding Yun'an, there were no less than thirty pirates on Yun'an at this moment, and they also saw the storm, and they all had a thought in their hearts: should they continue to attack Yun'an, or should they just return to the ship? But in any case, they need to keep people to defend the side of the ship, and they can't give those crew members on Yun'an a chance to get close to this side, these planks are not only the necessary way for them to capture Yun'an, but also their way out.

"Is the Cloud Piercing Crossbow Bolt loaded?!" Su Jingchen suddenly turned around and yelled.

Through the heavy sea breeze, the lookout in charge of the launch still heard Su Jingchen's voice, he raised his neck, and replied to Su Jingchen with the same roar, "Right away!" ”

The Cloud Piercing Crossbow is good at everything, but there is only one drawback, it is too slow to reload.

Hearing the lookout's answer, Su Jingchen suddenly put away his bow, jumped off the bow of the boat with a tiger leap, and ran to the side of the cloud-piercing ballista with all his might, a pirate with a knife in both hands suddenly appeared in front of Su Jingchen, wanting to stop Su Jingchen, but Su Jingchen fell to the ground, and a sliding shovel knocked the pirate over, and then immediately got up and ran to the side of the cloud-piercing ballista, he held the shoulders of the lookout, stared at the side of the ship with his eyes, raised his hand, and said, "See?" Over there! With your next arrow, you must destroy the ship's side! It is impossible for the pirates to go up to Yun'an again, otherwise, we will all have to go to the sea to feed the fish! ”

"But the owner of the ship is still there." The man's voice trembled.

Su Jingchen patted him on the shoulder, looked at the man's bloodshot eyes and said, "Trust me, and I believe in the shipowner." ”

The man swallowed, nodded, and the other two adjusted the position of the ballista, reaching out to hold the hanging knife.

The pirate with two knives approached with a knife, but Su Jingchen looked into the distance and didn't pay attention.

The pirate raised his sword and was about to cut it down.

Just as his knife was about to touch Su Jingchen's body, the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, throwing the pirate onto the deck again, and Su Jingchen did not fall because he was holding on to the shoulders of the lookout.

The sound of the pirate falling to the ground finally attracted Su Jingchen's attention, he suddenly pulled out the arrows in the quiver and rushed forward, the pirate had not yet gotten up, so he had to raise his double knife to block, but Su Jingchen found the gap between his defenses, and in an instant, he stabbed the arrow into his throat, the pirate's body froze, and the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth was blown away by the wind along with the sea, and this time, he finally did not get up again.

The black cloud finally came to the side of the Yun'an boat, and the man finally buckled the hanging knife, the crossbow bolt left the arrow magazine, shuttled in the wind and rain, and after hitting the three people, he took the bodies of the three people and smashed the side of the ship directly out of a big hole.

However, the top cantilever was still intact, and the planks and hooks and sickles were still on the hull of the Yun'an.
