Chapter 155: Fierce Battle on the Deck
"Serial scheme?" Looking at the approaching fishing boats, Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh, but he wasn't too worried, he wasn't Cao Cao, he didn't play with chain boats, even if these fishing boats ignited their own boats, it was impossible to burn the boat he was riding in for a while, during this period there was enough time for the soldiers to extinguish the fire, and the Jingzhou Navy had been completely wiped out by him, it was impossible for a large-scale Navy to take the opportunity to attack, if it was three or two boats, it was not enough to fill the teeth of the accompanying escort fleet!
"My lord, there is danger on the deck, please go back to the cabin!" Xu Chu carried a knife in front of Liu Zhang's left and said solemnly. His good brother Dian Wei held a two-foot-long halberd in one hand and a halberd in the other, and also said: "Lord, what Zhong Kang said makes sense, the lord's daughter, don't take risks, let's go back to the cabin!" ”
Liu Zhang looked at Zhou Cang, who was commanding the guards, and said, "It's okay, but a few small boats, what wind and waves do you remember?" Besides, now that I am in the cabin, wouldn't it be even more dangerous if the ship were to catch fire and there was nowhere to escape? Besides, with you here, how many people in this world can hurt me? ”
Xu Chu and Dian Wei were not good at words, and after listening to Liu Zhang's words, they also felt that there was some truth, so they no longer persuaded more, but they all watched the slightest change in the situation around them.
Xun You, Man Chong, Xu Huang and others all surrounded them.
Liu Zhang said: "Qingwei, protect all gentlemen, Gongming, pay attention to vigilance, this is clearly an assassination, and the other party can't think that a few fireboats can kill me!" ”
Dian Wei and Xu Huang nodded, obviously, the attack of the fireship was just to cause chaos in the fleet, so as to give the other party a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Wu Ming, who has always been silent, still didn't say a word, holding a huge shield in his left hand, and holding a six-edged iron wedge four feet long and weighing seventy pounds in his right hand to guard Liu Zhang's right side.
Wu Ming has lived in the jungle for many years, has not undergone formal military training, and has no weapons at hand, when he used to live in the jungle, he often knocked down small trees, used poles as weapons, or picked up a rock casually, it seems that anything in the jungle can be used as a weapon for hunting. When Liu Zhang asked him to choose a weapon, he didn't know what to choose, thinking that Liu Fan asked him to protect Liu Zhang, so he chose a big shield. This shield is almost the same height as a person (Liu Zhang's body is the standard, but it is much shorter than Wu Ming's body), three feet five inches wide, and the shield material is wooden, but don't underestimate it, it is the hardest iron birch in the world, twice as hard as steel. In order to make this shield, Liu Zhang worked hard to get people to bring back such a piece from Xiangping and make this shield. After the shield was made, Liu Zhang had found someone to test his hardness, the three-stone bow and ten zhang * would only leave a mark on it, and it would disappear when you wiped it, and the ring head knife, halberd and other chopping would not cause damage, and even the heavy bed crossbow would only leave a very, very shallow nick on it from a hundred zhang away, and the heavy bed crossbow, or even the trebuchet would not necessarily be able to destroy it, provided that the user could withstand the huge impact of the heavy weapon, Liu Zhang knew that there had been many such situations in later generations, heavy armored tanks, The fortified fortress was not blown up under enemy fire, but the huge shock often caused the soldiers hiding inside to bleed to death, and when this shield was erected in front of Liu Zhang, almost no one could break through its defenses. The defense of the shield is huge, but the attack power is almost zero, so Liu Zhang set out to choose weapons for Wu Ming, and Wu Ming, who was accustomed to hunting with tree poles in the jungle, finally broke off a spear four feet long, saying that he wanted to use it as a weapon. Liu Zhang almost couldn't hold back his laughter on the spot, the personal guard of the dignified state pastor, took a wooden stick to the battlefield? Liu Zhang felt that he couldn't afford to lose this face, so he recalled the scenes in martial arts movies and novels, Shaolin stick? Whistle sticks? Pestle sticks? Gorou gossip stick? It doesn't seem like it's a good fit to go to war. In the end, Liu Zhang finally remembered a weapon, that is, a mace! Liu Zhang didn't know when the gong appeared, anyway, he hadn't seen it in this era he came to, he happened to remember the villain book "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" that he had read when he was a child, in which there was a man named Qin Qiong who made a double gong, which was very powerful, and made immortal contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and later Qin Qiong was respected as the door god by people together with Yu Chigong. Liu Zhang, a military white, took it for granted that the mace was also a stick, but the general stick was a wooden stick, and the mace was an iron rod, not to mention let him distinguish the difference between the mace and the whip. Strictly speaking, the weapon he created for Wu Ming should be called a whip, but he didn't know it, and others didn't know about it, so the name Gong was continued, and as Wu Ming waved it again and again, the word killer appeared hundreds of years in advance. Gong , the right to call it a gong bar, one of the short soldiers, without a blade, relying on its own weight to hit the enemy with strong kinetic energy, the destructive power is very terrifying, once it is waved up by a strong soldier, although the soldier has a helmet, armor protection, the same will be shocked to death. Wu Ming, who was accustomed to using tree poles, immediately fell in love with this weapon and never left his hand since.
The so-called ship is difficult to turn around, the fishing boat has already chosen the target, and soon collided head-on with the building boat in the fleet, the fishing boat has already been placed with hay, pine resin and other flammable materials, and the majestic fire soon began to spread......
"Don't mess around, hurry, extinguish the fire......" Xu Huang shouted loudly.
The well-trained guards battalion immediately began to use river water to extinguish the fire, but the freeboard of the building boat was too high to take water directly, so it could only tie the bucket with ropes and throw it into the river to get water, the efficiency was very low, and in the fire and smoke, some confusion inevitably occurred in the fleet.
The soldiers on it directly used shields, halberds, etc. to extinguish the fire, and many soldiers of the guard battalion saw that the fire was not easy to control, so they directly took off their armor and plunged into the water, stirring the river with their hands to extinguish the fire......
Just when everyone was busy fighting the fire, almost no one noticed that under the cover of thick smoke, dozens of capable men quietly climbed onto the boat where Liu Zhang was located with ring-headed knives in their mouths. As soon as these people stepped on the deck, they were discovered by Xu Huang and others, who were always on guard, only to see Xu Huang jump behind Liu Zhang, protect him, and cut down an assassin who wanted to sneak attack Liu Zhang with an axe, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, protect the lord......"
Hearing Xu Huang's shout, the four guards would immediately take action, and when the blood of the first assassin was thrown on the deck, Liu Zhang, Xun You, and the others had already been protected by Tuan Tuan.
As Liu Zhang's ship, in order to give Liu Zhang and others a comfortable and spacious environment, the sailors on the ship were far below the standard configuration.
Liu Zhang immediately shouted: "Don't stop putting out the fire, put out the fire as soon as possible, others meet the assassins, the herald, don't stop, speed up, get rid of the fire ship...... The number of assassins is not too much, there are Dian Wei and other generals, Liu Zhang is not worried about his own safety, but if the fire is allowed to spread, this building ship is likely to sink in the center of the river, for Xun You and others, once the building ship sinks, if the rescue is not in time, its danger is far greater than the assassin's attack. Liu Zhang was not Cao Cao of Chibi, his boat was not chained together, it could be moved, and once the boat began to move, the fishing boat that had lost control would break away from the boat and drift downstream......
"Quick, get up and ......" On another boat, Zhang Fei shouted loudly with a snake spear and ordered the sailors to approach the boat where Liu Zhang was seated: "Man Cheng, you command people to put out the fire, and I will go up to protect the lord......"
Li Dian nodded calmly and commanded more than 100 soldiers to extinguish the fire.
The officers and soldiers of the personal guard battalion on the other ships also discovered the assassins, but Liu Zhang and the others were on the deck, and these soldiers did not dare to use bows and arrows, for fear of accidentally injuring Liu Zhang and the others, so they had to order the ships where they were located to come up and prepare to engage the assassins.
In the blink of an eye, four assassins were killed, but after planning for a long time, they hit the guard battalion by surprise, these people took out a flying knife in one hand and shot at the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion with the other, the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion took care of Liu Zhang, did not dare to use bows and arrows, and were very passive, and in a blink of an eye, nine soldiers of the guard battalion were stabbed to death by the assassins. Of course, the assassins would not let go of their primary target, Liu Zhang, and the eight throwing knives shot at them, but in the face of the big shield in Wu Ming's hand, these flying knives fell on the deck with a few "poofs" like raindrops.
These assassins are so experienced that they saw that Dian Wei and the others did not dare to leave Liu Zhang and the others, and they did not step forward to tear and kill, and kept throwing the flying knives out, and the fierce generals such as Dian Wei and others could only be beaten passively, and the soldiers of the personal guard battalion were a few points inferior to these assassin masters, and in the blink of an eye, five more soldiers of the personal guard battalion were killed, and even the full pet was shot by an assassin's flying knife, very embarrassed, fortunately, this flying knife was shot an inch higher, otherwise the full favor may have been "headshot".
"Wu Ming, protect Berning!" Liu Zhang shouted when he saw this, but Wu Ming was unmoved, he faithfully and rigidly carried out Liu Fan's order - to protect Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang's heart was both moved and a little annoyed, since he couldn't call Wu Ming, he had to turn to Zhou Cang and shouted: "Zhou Cang, protect Mr. Berning, if Mr. hurts half a hair again, you can come and see him!" ”
"Yes, my lord!" Zhou Cang replied while blocking the burly body in front of the full pet.
Liu Zhang said again: "Zhongkang, Qingwei, you bring people up...... You can't be beaten like this all the time......"
"Yes!" Xu Chu and Dian Wei trusted Wu Ming's ability very much, and with him by Liu Zhang's side, there would be no danger for the time being, but the two still called more than ten guards to build a human wall, and then rushed forward with knives and halberds.
"Kuroko, use a halberd!" Xu Chu was slightly half a body behind Dian Wei, and just saw a few halberds inserted in his waist, and immediately shouted.
Dian Wei then remembered that he still had one in his hand, and without saying a word, he hurled it at an assassin who was raising his hand to release a flying knife.
The rapidly spinning halberd immediately pierced the assassin's body, and his raised hand hung limply, spitting blood from the deck.
Dian Wei casually took another halberd and threw it, and another assassin was stabbed in the lower abdomen and fell to the ground......
Dian Wei threw out his halberd as he charged, and in just a few feet away, three assassins died under his halberd.
"Ah......" There was a scream, blood flew fiercely, and a head rose to the sky, but it was Xu Chu's knife that crossed him when Dian Wei threw the flying halberd, and the blood like rain fell on Xu Chu's head, and he didn't even blink his eyes, and he picked up the knife and slashed.
"Dang" how did the ring-headed knife in the hands of the assassin block Xu Chu's broadsword? I saw that the assassin unwillingly let go of the knife in his hand, and was about to escape, but Xu Chu slashed through it again. The sharp blade slashed through his throat, "Ah...... Ah......h
"Rush up...... One of the assassins saw that the flying knife could not hurt Liu Zhang, but the two generals on the other side killed him in the middle of the formation, and immediately shouted. He seemed to be the leader of these assassins, and after hearing his words, all the assassins immediately rushed towards Liu Zhang, waving the ring head knife incessantly, and five more soldiers of the personal guard battalion who tried to stop them were killed, and at the same time, the five soldiers who died also killed two assassins, and the fierce Dian Wei had already abandoned the halberd, and waved the melee weapon in his hand like Xu Chu, under their attack, four more assassins could not know the success or failure of the operation.
