Chapter 473: Cao Bin is captured
Cao Bin stared at several officers with sharp eyes, these people's reactions were different, Zhou De and Zheng Fa, who were usually rough, were stimulated by Cao Bin's words, and the two pulled out their swords, screaming and preparing to fight the enemy.
The other three commanders were terrified, their legs trembling, and their faces were pale and speechless.
Zheng Fa glanced at a few mischievous people contemptuously, and said to Cao Bin:
"General, the last general asks for battle, let me go and take my brothers to fight the pirates."
Cao Bin showed a pleased smile on his face: "Commander Zheng's courage is commendable, and I admire it very much." However, against these bandits, we must not fight with them, because they will not fight us at close range. ”
"What then? General, the pirates are attacking far away from our ships, and we can't reach their ships? ”
"Then you will give the order to go down and leave only a small number of sailors on the deck of each ship to steer the ship. Everyone else is hiding in the cabin. When the pirates board the ship, let the soldiers come out and kill the enemy, so that we still have a chance to live. ”
A few commanders thought about it, although Cao Bin's method was not good, but after all, having the opportunity to fight with the bandits could only be regarded as a chance for everyone to get a chance to fight with others, which was better than letting people torture and kill people from a distance.
Several commanders agreed, and left Cao Bin's ship one after another, and took a small boat to command their respective subordinates.
Soon, the warships of the Great Song Dynasty began to move closer to Cao Bin's ship, formed a tight formation, and continued to drive northeast.
The twenty-five warships of the Seven Seas Company had already completed their formation on the sea, forming two detachments, which were outflanked by the Great Song fleet from the left and right sides.
At this time, the wind and waves on the sea were getting stronger and stronger, and many soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty had symptoms of seasickness, and many of them vomited incessantly. The soft sails on the Seven Seas Company's warships were full of the sea breeze, driving the warships to chase after them quickly.
Soon, the warships of the Seven Seas Company caught up with the fleet of the Great Song, and the warships launched a free attack, and crossbow arrows and explosive ~ bombs flew wildly on the sea, pouring ammunition towards the fleet of the Great Song.
The Great Song warships on the periphery soon suffered heavy losses, and the deck was in a mess, full of corpses and wounded, dark red blood flowed wantonly, and wails echoed on the sea.
Because he wanted to capture the warships as much as possible, Zhao Zizhong did not order the use of burning ~ burning ~ bombs to attack the warships of the Great Song Dynasty. He observed the battlefield with a telescope and wondered.
"Da Lang, look at it, I think something is wrong. Didn't the intelligence say that the Great Song Dynasty came with 3,000 people? I don't think there are that many at all, there are too few people on the decks of these ships. ”
An Dalang looked at it for a while and smiled contemptuously: "Brother, I guess these people are hiding in the cabin." They're waiting for us to jump over. If the brothers jumped on the Great Song warship, they would rush out and fight with us. ”
Zhao Zizhong sneered and said: "Cao Bin thinks very beautifully, we are not fools, we will not rush forward." Da Lang, send an order to Boris and Du Dalei, so that each warship can use burning~burning~ bombs, and solve the battle as soon as possible. It's already afternoon, and we're going to annihilate the Great Song fleet before it gets dark. Otherwise, it will be troublesome when it gets dark, and I am afraid that Cao Bin will run away. ”
An Dalang quickly conveyed the order, and Du Dalei and Boris led the left flank fleet and began to attack the dense Great Song fleet with burning ~ burning ~ bombs.
And the right flank fleet where Zhao Zizhong and An Dalang were located also launched a rapid offensive.
Flames rose above the Great Song warship, and many of the soldiers who had been ignited jumped into the icy sea crying. The Great Song soldiers hiding in the cabin couldn't help it, they took off their armor one after another, threw away the weapons in their hands, and jumped into the sea.
The fire gradually spread with the help of a strong sea breeze. Due to the close alignment of the Great Song fleet, the warships were set on fire one by one.
Cao Bin sighed: "Hey, if you want to fight hard, you can't find a chance, pass the order, everyone will break through, and run out one by one." ”
A few minutes later, the Great Song warships began to scatter and flee, and when Zhao Zizhong saw this, he immediately ordered: "Leave two warships to contain the Great Song soldiers who fell into the water, and the rest of the ships are free to pursue, let go of those small boats, and pick large warships to pursue." Let everyone not be stingy with ammunition and sink these warships as soon as possible. ”
A whining horn sounded, and the ships of the Seven Seas Company began to pursue. The warships were like wolves hunting on the grassland, staring at the prey and chasing after them, and when they got closer, they used bed crossbows to blow up ~ bombs, burn ~ burn ~ * and say hello, and a large torch that burned ~ burned on the sea one after another.
Zhao Zizhong commanded the ship, tightly biting the building ship where Cao Bin was, and followed the pursuit. The other warships of the Seven Seas Company saw that Zhao Zizhong was personally pursuing Cao Bin's ship, and they all left one after another, leaving the flagship of the Great Song Dynasty to Zhao Zizhong.
After a while, An Dalang found a warship rushing up from the west, and also began to pursue Cao Bin's ship.
An Dalang observed the warship with a telescope and found that Du Dalei was standing at the bow of the ship, proudly pointing at Cao Bin's ship and shouting.
An Dalang grabbed a herald, "You flag Du Dalei's warship, tell him that this ship is Lao Tzu, and tell him to get out of the way and chase other warships." ”
After a while, the herald returned, looking very strange.
An Dalang asked: "Don't hide it, what did these two people say ugly?" ”
The herald said, "Instructor, he, he said...... Let you eat, this ship belongs to him. ”
An Dalang was so angry that he immediately ran to the side of the boat, pointed at Du Dalei and scolded.
Du Dalei was looking over here, he saw An Dalang's angry appearance, immediately stretched out his middle finger, and then turned around and turned his butt at An Dalang, writhing in the wind ~ coquettishly.
"This bastard! Don't let Lao Tzu catch you, otherwise you will feel better. An Dalang pointed at Du Dalei and scolded.
Zhao Zizhong found out about the interaction between the two two goods, and immediately walked behind An Dalang and slapped him hard.
"The battle is not over yet, what are you making trouble, Da Lei's head let the door squeeze through, and you are the same as him? Hurry up and catch up with Cao Bin's ship, don't burn ~ burn the bomb first, and try to capture him alive. ”
An Dalang glared at Du Dalei stupidly, and went to direct the sailors to pursue Cao Bin.
Du Dalei saw that An Dalang was taught a lesson by the boss, and he was suddenly overjoyed, and his butt twisted even more energetically.
"Three circles on the left, three circles on the right, twisting the neck, twisting the buttocks
Go to bed early and wake up early, let's do exercise
Shake your hands, shake your feet
Take deep breaths and learn from grandpa to sing and dance
You won't get old ......."
Du Dalei hummed a little song in his mouth and danced a square dance on the deck, causing everyone to laugh.
Boris is very helpless, why did he partner with this second goods, the boss is really a little eccentric.
At this time, two warships caught up with Cao Bin's building ship from the left and right sides, and attacked with bed crossbows and explosive ~ bombs.
Cao Bin stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the * flying in the distance, and his heart was cold. It's over, I'm going to die. He closed his eyes in despair.
Several of Cao Bin's guards rushed up, threw him down on the deck, and pressed him to Cao Bin's body.
"Boom, boom......"
* Continued to explode on the ship, and soon the superstructure of the ship was full of holes.
The deck was filled with smoke, and from time to time a thick crossbow bolt flew over and swept through everything on the deck.
After two more rounds of bombing~ bombing intensively, Zhao Zizhong issued an order for a ceasefire.
The smoke gradually cleared, and there was a dead silence on the deck of the ship, and there was not a single living creature in sight. The corpses of the Great Song soldiers were everywhere, and viscous blood flowed freely, converging into dark red streams on the deck.
"I'm bad, you bastards, you don't know how to take it easy. Let's see, you guys are begging to kill all the people on the boat, the boss still wants to capture Cao Bin alive, it's all in vain. Du Dalei pointed at the guards who operated the bed crossbows and ballistas and cursed.
Everyone kept their heads down and said nothing, and Boris came over to play the round:
"Okay, it's not their fault, who let you urge them to throw * with your life, Cao Bin will die if he dies, let's quickly send someone to board the boat to take a look, otherwise let An Dalang take the lead."
Du Dalei immediately became excited: "Yes, yes, we can't let that guy get on the boat first, let's hurry over, hurry, you guys should hurry up." ”
Du Dalei's ship approached the ship, and several heavy infantry wearing full-body plate armor cautiously jumped over, carrying sabers to search for the enemy.
Du Dalei also followed, looking at the tragic scene on the boat up close, he couldn't help but rush to the side of the boat and vomit.
"It's really fucking useless, I thought you were a good man, but it turned out to be a coward." An Dalang walked behind Du Dalei at some point.
Du Dalei listened to An Dalang's cynicism, wiped his mouth and said: "No matter how poisonous you are, Lao Tzu doesn't care at all." Lao Tzu is not a barbarian like you, who kicks with a human head as a ball when he has nothing to do. ”
At this time, someone shouted from the bow of the boat: "Cao Bin has been found!" He's still angry. ”
Du Dalei immediately ran to the bow of the boat, "Where is it, hurry up and get out of the way, Lao Tzu wants to see the living Cao Bin." ”
The guards around the bow of the ship dodged the way, and Du Dalei rushed into the crowd.
A paramedic is crouching on the ground, pinching a middle-aged man.
Du Dalei looked at the man lying on the deck, he was wearing chain mail, his face was very pale, his eyes were closed, and he had a short beard on his upper lip and chin.
"Are you sure this person is Cao Bin?" Du Dalei asked.
"That's right, one of Cao Bin's guards didn't die, he confessed, it must be Cao Bin."
"Why did he faint? Were there any serious injuries? ”
"He had no external injuries on his body, and Cao Bin's guards pressed him too tightly, and he was probably suffocated. In addition, it is possible that it was blown up ~ bomb and stunned. ”
