Chapter 116 This is the middle of the -3

There is a breeze blowing on the sea, the sun is shining with a golden light, countless sails are dyed golden by the brilliance of the sunset, the buildings and ships are lined up in a neat battle formation, although it is only near the sea, but the wind and waves are much bigger than on the river, between the sides of the tall ships like the city wall, the loach boats, the ten oars boats, the knife boats and other small warships rise and fall with the waves.

The Song Kingdom had never been plundered from the sea, and the garrison along the coast was very lax. In response to the settling maritime merchants, the pirates often avoided heavily defended forts and dispersed to land in small boats to attack undefended coastal villages and towns. Haikou went north all the way, tasted the sweetness, and his appetite became bigger and bigger, and began to try to attack the counties and prefectures with weak troops, and if the defenders were not effective, they would break the city and plunder, and if they met the resolute defense, they scattered and plundered the villages.

A few days ago, someone reported Haikou's internal response, and the Henghai Navy interrogated and learned that the Great Food Haikou was preparing to attack Huating County. Huating County is the main seaport of Liangzhejiang Road, and it is also the station of Liangzhejiang City. While informing the defense envoys of the two Zhejiang cities and Xiuzhou, Han Shizhong urgently dispatched nearby warships and blocked the coastal waters of Xiuzhou with a large number of pirates.

The Song warships turned their backs to the sea, the muzzles of the guns on the bow of the ships facing west, and between the brown land and the blue sea, there were countless salt pans smooth as mirrors, reflecting the golden sun. In the direction of the headwind, dozens of sea boats were moored on the shore, and pirates continued to appear on the shore, pushing the stranded boats on the beach into the sea and desperately rowing towards the big boats.

Smoke rose from the distant villages, and it was the pirates who set fire to prevent the Song army from pursuing on the shore. Dozens of Great Food warships lined up facing the east, and the guns on the bow of the ships were facing the Song warships. In the circular field of vision of the clairvoyant, Haikou's white turban is very conspicuous. They huddled on the side of the ship, holding crescent swords and shouting at the Song army. Facing the Great Song Water Division, although the pirates were a little flustered, they were arrogant and had no fear on their faces.

"Eight Lambs!" Han Shizhong put down the clairvoyant mirror and said angrily: "Use artillery bombardment first!" ”

"Open the gun—" The gunner's voice dragged down, and the gunners lit the arquebuses at the same time, and a moment later, dozens of bow cannons let out an earth-shattering roar, "Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-", round iron shells swept across the sky. Because the sea is vast, the waves are undulating, and the formation of the big sea-eating ships is also very sparse, most of the shells failed to hit the enemy ships, but only stirred up patches of water on the sea, but the momentum was also very scary.

The Great Eater Haikou usually sailed away when they encountered the Song army, but at this time, there were still many accomplices on the shore, and they had to fire their cannons to meet the battle while sending out fireworks signals. The two sides bombarded each other for a while, and the big sea boat found that the Song army's artillery fire was fierce, so it set sail to the south, trying to bypass the Song army's naval division. The warship of the Henghai Navy opened fire and turned its sails to chase after it.

On the transverse naval warship, the sailors crowded the building and the foredeck, and the samurai of the Great Eclipse crowded the back deck with shields and scimitars, and the distance between the two warships continued to approach, and each other's faces were vaguely recognizable. The creak of the sails, the deafening sound of cannons, the loud shouts of the soldiers. The closer the distance, the higher the hit rate of the shells on both sides, and the shells kept falling closer, causing a splash in the sky. The water splashed on the bow of the ship, the cannonballs whistled through the deck, and a piece of sawdust flew sideways, and the soldiers next to them screamed loudly to dodge.

On the rough sea, the shells constantly stirred up splashes. The Song army's big ship, with its high and pointed bow and iron sheet on the outside, crashed into it by the wind, and immediately plowed several small boats into it, and more sea ships leaned together. The side of the big ship is like a high city wall, and between the gaps in the side of the ship, the small boat is constantly jolting.

"Shoot the arrows!" Hu Yantong was soaked, he didn't care about wiping his face, and said loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”

Dozens of arrows were fired at the opposite side, and at the same time, the arrows from the opposite side also shot over, the arrows in the sky pierced through the water, many sailors covered their wounds and screamed, the distance between the warships was too close, and the archers desperately accelerated the speed of the arrows, but only three arrows later, the two ships "banged" together. Su Sheng shook his body on the side of the ship, and almost fell into the rippling sea.

"Kill!" Without any hesitation, Su Sheng jumped out towards the enemy ship.

The distance of five feet wide jumped over, and three or four snow-bright knife lights attacked, Su Sheng took advantage of the fall to roll on the spot, twisted his back, and slashed out with a rolling knife. Forcing away the surrounding enemies, Su Sheng took advantage of the gap to stand up, looked around, and one of the five dead soldiers of the jumping boat gang had disappeared and probably fell into the sea. Two others were wounded. Two big scimitars slashed over, "Look for death!" Su Sheng roared, and the sword light slashed down like a white horse, and the big food warrior on the opposite side staggered back.

Su Sheng took the opportunity to join the other two trappers and stood back to back. At this time, they can only fight alone. The big cannibals around him muttered a few words, but Su Sheng couldn't understand what they said at all, so he only glared at him and shouted loudly: "Kill the thief!" The other three trappers shouted together: "Kill!" While the pirates hesitated, they rushed out again.

Haikou was intimidated by Su Sheng's momentum, not only did he not stop him, Su Sheng also took advantage of the gap to cut off an arm, and the injured cannibal fell down with blood. As soon as the other trapper slowed down, he was snatched into the empty door by a large samurai, and with a flash of his scimitar, he cut through two layers of leather armor, directly slicing open his stomach, and his intestines and other organs flowed out. In the fight for life, whoever has the slightest intention of avoiding will die. The wounded have no chance, and every time they fall, more enemies will pounce on them to make up for their swords, in case someone cheats them to death.

The big cannibal scimitar is skillful, and pieces of white blades fly, greeting according to the vital point, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will either die or be injured. One was just screaming and fighting, and then the throat was slashed, blood splattered out, and in the midst of the lightning, the arm of the other was cut off. The deck was covered with blood and littered with corpses and stumps.

On the surface of the sea, from time to time the warships violently rammed the enemy. The large ship was chiseled through the weak bulkhead by the enemy, and the small ship was damaged and sunk by the big ship. On the deck of the damaged warship, people kept jumping into the sea, and countless sailors struggled in the water. The Great Cannibals kept some of their slaves in the bilge, and the water kept pouring in, and if they couldn't plug the loopholes, they could be buried with the warship at the bottom of the sea. There were also sailors in the Song army who did not have time to escape, and in every capsized warship, there were countless people shouting for help, they used their fists, with the hilt of their knives, desperately and desperately knocking on the bulkheads, however, the sound of cries for help was completely covered by the sound of cannons and shouts of killing.

The sound of "boom" and "boom" artillery never stopped, and at this distance, almost blind people could hit a dense group of enemy ships, and it was impossible to avoid accidental damage. The whistling shells continued to pierce the ship's planks, harvesting lives with great momentum. In the fierce artillery bombardment, the sea invaders grabbed the cable and jumped onto the Song warship, and the soldiers of the Henghai Navy also jumped over without showing weakness. After shaking violently, the hull of the ship parted slightly in reverse. Everyone stumbled, and some fell with screams.

More than a dozen fire-setting ships set fire to the firewood soaked in fire, tongues of fire intertwined and spread, the ignited warships emitted billowing smoke, the sails burned and fell on the deck, countless people cried and fled for their lives, the wind helped the fire, and the fire burned more and more. The ships of both sides had to distance themselves and then move closer again under shelling. The sailors also kept throwing rockets, oil cans, water and fire dragons and other igniting objects at the enemy ships, and the sails of the ships were constantly ignited, and the black smoke obscured half of the sky.

In the beginning, every Song soldier who jumped onto the enemy ship had to deal with several scimitars wielded from several sides, and in the fierce battle, many Song soldiers were slashed from behind by scimitars, and even if they were mortally wounded, they still fought desperately until the last moment. A Song soldier actually dragged his intestines and rushed towards the enemy like a mad tiger. The Great Food Samurai showed fear in his eyes, and took a few steps back, and after the Song army was exhausted and fell, several Great Food Samurai grabbed it, cut it off with their scimitars, and rolled off the deck with their heads open.

More Song soldiers jumped over the side of the ship and killed the big food boat, "Kill the thief!" The shouts rang out. No one on the deck had a way to retreat, the battle became more and more fierce, and the Song army numbered more and more, because the deck was narrow and difficult to form a formation, and in the melee, they could only exchange their lives for their lives, squeezing the space of the big cannibalism little by little.

"Knock knock!" "Kill the thief!" "Kill the thief!"

"Knock knock!" "Kill the thief!" "Knock knock!"

The war drums of the handsome boat kept beating, and it was Han Shizhong's wife who beat the drums. During the training of the Heng Navy, Li Hongyu was originally beating the drum for the play, and the clinker troops entered when they heard the drums, and retreated when they heard the gold. So, every time Han Shizhong fights, he often leads his troops to attack first, and let Li Hongyu take charge of the golden drum, Li Hongyu is well versed in the rhythm of music, and the drums are different from others.

Li Hongyu was wrapped in red and wiped on her forehead, wearing heavy armor, like a general with clear eyebrows. The building of the Song army's handsome ship is tall and open, and it is also the key place for the big food warship to bombard, cannonballs and arrows break through the air from time to time, Li Hongyu is still not afraid, and the war drums have never stopped fighting so far.

Han Shizhong personally rushed into the big food fleet with the forward warship, many fierce generals in the Henghai Navy, commanders Su Sheng, Hu Yantong, Sun Shixun, Yan Yun and other generals all took the lead and fought bloodily on the deck. The scales of victory tipped in favor of the Song army, and on many ships, the battle had come to an end, and the crossbowmen jumped onto the enemy ships and shot the recalcitrant pirates. Seeing that the situation was not good, a large sea-eating ship abandoned its companions and fled the battlefield, and in a panic, it actually sailed away from the channel and ran aground on the reef.
