The night was deep, and it was originally a time of silence, but the battle between the Jieyi army and the water bandits seemed to be extremely lively. At the same time, because of the 'color' of this night, this water war seems very 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'. Because they looked down on the details, no one knew how many enemies they had, and no one knew whether the ships passing by would attack them.

Especially the water bandits who wanted to escape for their lives, they were already several water bandits 'mixed' together, and their sudden attack made them even more nervous at the moment. In line with the principle of safety first, we must start first. Many of them were 'shooting' arrows on the deck, and suddenly they were 'shot' to death by arrows that came from nowhere, and blood continued to flow down the deck.

The big ships were better, but those small boats, and even some of the large warships on both sides, were torn apart, and their deaths were unknown, and they became unjust souls in the water. If they were killed by the rebels, it would have been fine, but many of them died at the hands of their own ships and soldiers.

The leader of the Songling Water Bandits thought that he could defeat the other side by splicing his own superiority in strength, but as soon as the two sides 'engaged', he understood that he and the other party were not of the same level. He can only be called a water bandit, but the other party can call him a water master. Think about the disparities between the national trolls and the bandits. Compared with the warships, the soldiers and the advantages and disadvantages of the armor and equipment, the sailors of the Jieyi Army naturally had the absolute upper hand. The only thing that was at a disadvantage was the number of people and the number of ships, however, the number of bandits and the number of ships did not make them an advantage, but a disadvantage.

Because these bandits were formed by the 'mixing' of six bandits, there was no unified organization, so they could not work together to resist the enemy. Needless to say, the sailors of the Jieyi Army were defeated and retreated. In particular, the surrender of the rebel army on three routes made the entire water bandit coalition army demoralized, and the internal chaos was scattered. However, even so, the huge number of water bandits also brought a lot of casualties to the Jieyi army.

In particular, more than 20 smaller merchant ships have been destroyed by the bandits, and two armed merchant ships have been sunk by the bandits.

The building boat of Quyang, the leader of the Songling water bandits, has also become the main target of the siege of the Jieyi Army at this moment. However, there are also a large number of bandit guards near the Quyanglou ship, and it is difficult to take it down for a while.

However, Qu Yang also saw his own weakness, and he had no intention of fighting to the death with the Jieyi Army, and after commanding the warships under his command to intercept the Jieyi Army's warships, he immediately fled to the south of his old nest Songling Water Village, in order to open the way, it continued to attack the surrounding ships, like a reckless man running rampant on the street. Not only the ships of the Righteous Army, but also the ships of other bandits, as long as they blocked his escape path, they were also within his range of attack.

I have to say that this building ship is indeed powerful, especially the modified warship, which is even more powerful. The protection ability of the Quyang Lou ship is indeed strong enough, and the firepower on the ship is also very fierce, after Quyang decided to escape, the whole ship burst out of its powerful power, and the ships that stood in front of it were all destroyed, and several boats and fishing boats on both sides were knocked over by it in a row, and the bones were gone. At the same time, boulders were constantly being thrown from it, forcing the ships in front of it to get out of the way, and crossbow arrows were also shooting as hard as they could, forcing other ships not to approach it.

And around him, there were other large and small Songling water bandits' warships guarding the side, and for a while, even the sailors of the Jieyi Army could not stop them.

The sailors of the Jieyi Army naturally would not let Quyang go, and Hu Le, who was on the armed merchant ship, saw that Quyang wanted to escape, so he immediately took his own fleet to join the Jieyi Army and went to intercept the other party. Because his warships were not as powerful as the warships of the sailors, he ordered Qin Shouyi, the deputy captain of the navy, to take the building boat to pursue Quyang, while he took other large and small warships to attack the other bandit warships guarding Quyang's car.

However, the number of warships of the water bandits was far from being comparable to that of the Jieyi Army's naval warships, and even if Hu Le quickly intercepted them, Qu Yang still fled north with more than ten large warships. And Qin Shouyi chased after him with five warships.

Knock knock knock...... The trebuchets on the warships of both sides were working like crazy, and the sailors on both sides were out of the way, and they were all working hard bare-chested. Those who were responsible for loading the crossbow arrows were even more tireless, almost numbly wringing open the arrow slots, stuffing the long crossbow arrows into them, and then waiting for the order to 'shoot'. Because each of them knows that offense is the best defense, and only by constantly attacking others can they avoid being attacked by others. If the ship is sunk by the enemy, in this dark night, in this "chaotic" and "chaotic" battlefield, they fall into the water, and the chance of survival is indeed very small.

"Boom ......" Qu Yang saw with his own eyes that a large armed merchant ship guarding his side was hit by the catapult of the Jieyi Army's navy. However, what frightened him was that the catapult of the rebel army was not throwing stones, but other things. Because they exploded on the warship beside them, and all their soldiers on the warship were blown to pieces.

"Zhao Jun's earth-shattering thunder ......" At this moment, such a thought suddenly flashed in Qu Yang's mind. Although he didn't know much about Zhao Jun's Heaven-shattering Thunder, he had also heard of the effects brought by Zhao Jun's Heaven-Shaking Thunder. He also thought that this section of the righteous army seemed to have something to do with the Zhao army, and it was not uncommon for them to have earth-shattering thunder.

As soon as he saw the earth-shattering thunder appear, Qu Yang was even more worried, and he couldn't care about the warships around him at the moment, so he hurriedly accelerated to flee, and as for the other warships, he ordered to intercept the pursuit of the Jieyi Army's naval warships.

"Damn!" Seeing that Qu Yang asked the warships under his command to intercept his pursuit, but he fled by himself, Qin Shou immediately scolded angrily. However, he will not let the other party go. Immediately let the ship's catapult throw several earth-shattering thunderbolts out, and after smashing a gap in front, he pursued Qu Yang with his own car. The remaining four ships were ordered to surround and suppress the rest of the bandit ships and, if possible, reclaim them. These warships are still very useful for the Jieyi Army. For the Jieyi army, what is lacking now is the soldiers and warships. In contrast, the warship was more important than the soldier. After all, the soldiers could recruit the fishermen in the waters around Wu County at any time to train, but this warship could not be built in a moment. Therefore, the warships of these water bandits are also very important to the Jieyi Army.

As a result, Qin Shouyi's car and the water bandit Quyang's car began to chase and flee, heading towards the north. The catapults on both sides were constantly throwing stones at each other's ships.

It's hard to imagine that there are so many stones loaded inside the two ships, as if they will never run out. Groups of sailors carried the stones up from under the cabin and stacked them next to the trebuchet until they formed a small stone hill. Sometimes the number of rocks near the two trebuchets was so different that the ship would lose its balance, and the sailors had to adjust the number of boulders and carry the huge boulders around the deck with difficulty.

Every boulder thrown out will set off earth-shattering 'waves' and smash out a deafening sound. Don't look at where they landed, just look at the trajectory they draw in the air, it is definitely a shocking scenery of death. If you look up inadvertently, you just see that there is a black dot on the top of your head that is getting bigger and bigger, and finally covering all your eyeballs, which means that one of your feet has stepped through the 'gate' of hell. Especially at night, you can only see more clearly by waiting for these stones to get closer. However, fortunately, more than ten miles around here were all 'shining' red by the firelight, otherwise, I am afraid that the two sides can only fight blindly.

It's easy to say if it's one-on-one, but in the middle of the battlefield around the island, the sky is full of stones, crossbow arrows, and arrows. Of course, catapults are still the most powerful here. However, most of the boulders fell into the lake, splashing high columns of water, like a sharp sword piercing the sky. These water columns are not only spectacular, but also have a strong impact, even if you stand on the deck of a building ship, if you are not careful, you will be washed directly into the lake.

As for the boats, fishing boats, etc., if the boulders fall near them, the consequences are absolutely very bad, sometimes the water column will directly overturn them, or drive all the people on the boat into the water, even if they are not overturned, the violent water 'waves' will turn them all over.

There are also a few boulders that hit the target directly, so its value is more fully reflected. Generally, the boulders thrown out weigh more than three or four hundred catties, and the smallest one is also two hundred catties, and they rotate and fall from a height of dozens of meters, and the destructive power can be imagined. Medium-sized warships are okay, they can still hit the boulder once or twice, as long as they don't hit a very critical place, they can barely move forward, slowly get out of this combat area, of course, it is impossible to continue fighting.

There are also those ships, although their size is very small, but they were originally used for impact, relatively strong, and there are balance wings on both sides, even if they are hit by a boulder, it is possible to sink into the lake as a whole, if you are lucky, it will not break for the time being, but if you are unlucky, it is difficult to say, you will be smashed and sink into the water, leaving a few pieces of debris.

The most unfortunate are the boats and fishing boats on both sides, they are not the opponents of the boulder at all, in front of the boulder, they are like newborn babies, only to be slaughtered. However, these boats and small fish boats are responsible for delivering news, rescuing the wounded, transporting supplies, and retaining ships, and they must be dispatched even if the fighting is fierce. At the same time, because they are simple to make, there are many of them, and the results are self-evident, and their huge number also increases the chance of being hit by boulders. If a boulder falls from the sky and hits a boat or a small fishing boat, most of the boat or fishing boat will disappear at the same time as the boulder, leaving only a small whirlpool on the surface of the lake with a few pieces of wood chips floating on it. When the vortex disappears, there is no trace at all.

The sailors on both sides heard the most the whistling sound of "chirping", which was the continuous 'shooting' of crossbow arrows. Because although there is fire on the battlefield, few people can distinguish the source of the crossbow arrows, and no one can distinguish the targets of all the crossbow arrows, why they are 'shot', and where they are 'shot'.

Because the size of the crossbow machine is smaller than that of the catapult, all building ships and armed merchant ships and fighting ships are equipped with crossbow machines. Therefore, there are many ships that can 'shoot' crossbow arrows, and such warships can be seen everywhere on this 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' lake. In order to attack each other, in order not to be attacked, they are very active, and when they attack, they are particularly fierce.

For everyone on board, crossbow arrows can 'shoot' from any direction, from their own front. From behind one's own back, from one's own flanks, and even from one's own brain 'door'. There are 'shot' by the enemy, and there are also 'shot' by one's own side, and in the 'melee' battle, no one can tell where the crossbow arrow came from. Perhaps, a soldier 'fired' a crossbow arrow, but the enemy soldier dodged a little, and the crossbow arrow 'shot' his own soldier not far away. Even if you hide in a corner of the deck, you may be found by a crossbow arrow. Since no place is safe, there is only a desperate 'shooting' of arrows, desperately throwing boulders, and frantically attacking to cover up your inner turmoil.

At the same time, the wavering warship also brought great difficulties to the accuracy and "nature" of the "shooting". A rocking ship with a crossbow machine also rocks up and down, unless the bolt has hit the target. Otherwise, the most experienced sailors will not be able to determine exactly where the crossbow bolts will hit. In this case, the accuracy of the crossbow arrows is greatly reduced, so the only way to 'shoot' the crossbow arrows is to strengthen the crossbow arrows, hoping to cover the enemy with more crossbow arrows.

Chirp tweet! Because of Qu Yang's escape, Hu Le captured a large armed warship of water bandits, and as soon as he waited for the opponent's warship, he was 'shot' by other water bandit warships with a 'wave' of crossbow arrows, almost sweeping him into the cabin forever.

"Thunder! Fight back for Lao Tzu! Hu Le was suddenly furious. If he hadn't dodged quickly, I'm afraid he would have been buried here. Annoyed, he immediately ordered a quick counterattack.

"Boom ......" several sky-shaking thunderbolts were thrown out, and although they failed to hit all of them, there were still two water bandit warships that were hit by several sky-shaking thunderbolts that had not fallen into the water. As a result, needless to say, the water bandits on these two warships were all swept away as if they had been hit by a storm. The damage to the warship may not be as great as that of the catapult, but the lethality of the soldiers on the warship is incomparable.

The boulders thrown by the catapults may be able to smash a warship out of a hole, or it may be able to smash several soldiers into 'flesh' mud. However, an iron ball 'fired' by an earth-shattering thunderbolt can kill all the soldiers on the warship, so that not a single soldier on the warship survives. In this way, even if the warships are not damaged, but without the soldiers who dare to 'show their faces', can these warships still play a role in the battlefield? The result is self-evident, these warships can only become trophies of the righteous army.

With the escape of Qu Yang, the leader of the largest water bandits, after discovering that these boats transporting supplies were the 'lure' bait of the Jieyi army, the rest of the water bandit leaders naturally had no intention of fighting, Qu Yang fled, and they naturally would not stay to fight to the death with the Jieyi army. Therefore, these water bandit leaders did not care about anything else, and began to prepare to flee.

It's a pity that their car is not a building ship that can be compared with the warships of the Jieyi Army, and they have been targeted by the Jieyi Army early on, just like Quyang. Especially after the surrender of the Three-Way Water Bandits, these surrendered Three-Way Men and Horses first focused their attention on the leaders of the remaining Five Ways Water Bandits. Therefore, the warship of the leader of the five water bandits was soon attacked by surprise.

After a 'melee' battle, two of the five bandit leaders surrendered directly, and the other three bandit leaders sank into the lake along with their warships, leaving only a few debris of their warships.

And the Jieyi Army also took this opportunity to play the banner of surrender, after the Jieyi Army used the earth-shaking thunder, the leaders of the water bandits of all walks of life ceased to exist, and in the case of no way to escape, these ordinary water bandits could only choose to surrender. Otherwise, in this vast lake, in this dark night, they may become a part of the water in the next moment.

Gradually, some sailors began to surrender, they threw away their weapons, and according to the orders of the sailors of the Jieyi Army, they began to sail their ships to the land of the island, landed, and waited for the soldiers on the island to take over.

"Well done! Keep attacking, and if you don't want to surrender, send them into the water! Hu Le, the captain of the navy, ordered loudly and excitedly. This time, he was extremely excited to defeat the Songling Water Army, which was equivalent to his own strength, and to be able to collect so many water bandits. Of course, that doesn't make him forget who he is and what he is now. He will not let go of those water bandits who insist on resisting and trying to escape.

"This is Zhao Jun's earth-shattering thunder, the power is really powerful! These water bandits, I'm afraid that most of them will be suppressed by this earth-shattering thunder. The guards beside Hu Le looked at a bandit warship that had been shot and exploded not far away, and couldn't help but sigh.

Hu Le shook his head and said, "The power of this earth-shattering thunder is indeed powerful, but in the water war, their power is not beyond our thoughts. The reason why this earth-shattering thunder was so effective was because they had never seen such a weapon before, and they were just frightened. ”

Hu Le was right, the power of this earth-shattering thunder in the water war was not beyond imagination. If it is a broadside battle, it is indeed very powerful to directly put this earth-shattering thunder on the opponent's warship. However, if it is a long-distance 'engagement', it is as powerful as a catapult. Because, the sailors are accustomed to 'shooting' boulders, and for the earth-shaking thunder, because they are not familiar with its weight, they are not as easy as boulders to 'shoot' the target.

If it doesn't 'shoot' at the target, this earth-shattering thunder can't exert much power. Only by concentrating the opponent's warships, this earth-shattering thunder can be regarded as a powerful weapon. At the very least, killing the enemy and storing the enemy's warships, this earth-shattering thunder is indeed the number one weapon. However, it was precisely because this weapon had never appeared and was so powerful that these bandits were afraid and surrendered. But when it comes to the actual effect, in fact, it is comparable to the catapult throwing a boulder. Its power is greater than that of a catapult, but it is not easy to hit. Especially now these naval armies are not very familiar with the projection of this earth-shattering thunder.

However, this earth-shattering thunder also has certain advantages, that is, its light weight, quick and easy to use, and more convenient than throwing boulders from catapults.
