Chapter 906: Decisive Battle 3
With the destruction of the fighting ship, Fang Dahai could not continue to pursue Hu Le's building ship. And the existence of the middle spiral nest also blocked the pursuit of the Qi army's water bandit warships.
A boat that had just arrived and had no time to stop wanted to bypass this whirlpool, but it still couldn't get out, and finally led itself directly into the whirlpool. So the whole ship was swallowed up, and the bandits on the ship kept struggling in the whirlpool, but to no avail, and finally the whirlpool slowly disappeared, and all people and things disappeared.
Even so, there were still more fighting ships approaching Hu Le's building ship, and similarly, there were more Jieyi Navy warships approaching forward, coming to intercept them, and fighting each other with crossbow arrows and boulders.
Because the two sides were fighting together, the whole battlefield was very chaotic, and no one knew how many enemies they had, and no one knew whether the ships passing by would attack them. Especially the warships of the Qi Army's sailors, because they are a mixture of three-way water bandits, they have not cooperated closely at all, and they have not trained together. It made all the bandits very nervous, and they didn't know whether it was the warship of the Jieyi Army or the warship of their allies who came over beside them.
In line with the principle of safety first, these bandits responded to the enemy in accordance with the means that they must strike first. Many of the water cowards were shooting arrows on the deck, and suddenly they were killed by crossbow arrows from unknown sources, and blood continued to flow down the deck. Those who pulled the slapping rod only noticed the fighting ship in front of them, but they didn't expect a burst of crossbow arrows to shoot from behind, and suddenly a large piece fell, and the slapping rod also broke, and the boulder smashed heavily on their own people's bodies, as if they had opened a mill, squeezing out endless blood. When the deck tilted sharply, the blood that had accumulated on it was like a waterfall, and all of it sloped into the lake.
Even some of the bandits were injured by mistake and fought each other, so that even their leaders could not stop them, because they could no longer control the soldiers who had already killed their eyes red. This is on the water, on the warship, not on land, and the officers and inspectors can adjust the situation at any time. There is no way to communicate directly between warships and warships. On this battlefield that was slaughtered, there were no formally trained sailor soldiers, they were not in the habit of cooperating with friendly forces, except for their own family's warships, the rest, even the allies, could not care about it at the moment.
In particular, in addition to the flags on the warships, the sailors of the Jieyi Army are also integrated into water bandits, and they do not have obvious signs of the Jieyi Army. Therefore, after the scuffle between the two sides, they could not tell whether the other party was an ally or an enemy. As for the Jieyi Army, they have trained together, and they can clearly know that what they don't know and are familiar with is the enemy. Therefore, the Jieyi army attacked without any scruples, which made the Qi army's bandit warships also begin to attack the non-own warships frantically. Some friendly warships that did not belong to the water bandits all the way were not attacked by the sailor warships of the Jieyi Army, and were beaten by their own people first.
At this moment, behind Hu Lelou's ship, there were two of his own fighting ships coming, these two fighting ships were actually not standard sailor fighting ships, but they were not much different. Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Hu Le immediately began to counterattack, and the three warships in turn pursued and killed Fang Dahai's ship. was chased and beaten by the other party before, and Hu Leyi held back his anger. Now that the opportunity is in his own hands, how can he not take revenge?
"Let them join us to take down the Qi army's building ship on the opposite side as quickly as possible. It was quite positive to hunt us down before, but now it's time for a change. Hu Le ordered with a murderous face.
"Don't worry, my lord, this time, I will definitely let this sea taste the power of our righteous army!" Xu Wenle, who was pierced in the face by a sharp arrow shot from the building ship on the opposite side of the sea, immediately responded. He had previously been on deck in charge of the sailors' counterattack and defense, when a sharp arrow flew across his cheek, leaving a wound that made Xu Wenle full of anger. For counterattacks, he is happy to be tight.
However, although Fang Dahai was going to make the first contribution, he was not a fool, nor was he a fool. Of course, fools and fools can't be the leaders of the bandits along the way. When he saw the sinking of the two fighting ships under his command, his heart felt as if he had been cut by someone, you must know that in addition to the warships that were copied by the Jieyi Army and pulled away by the Jieyi Army, there was only one building ship and five fighting ships in his hands, and now, two of them have become history.
However, before he had time to feel distressed, Fang Dahai's subordinates reported to him that the three warships of the Jieyi Army had already approached. Where did Fang Dahai dare to stay here, let alone feel sorry for his warship and meritorious service, he immediately turned the bow of the ship, and fled to the north, in order to open the way, it continued to attack the surrounding ships, whether it was the Jieyi army or his own, as long as he was on the way forward, he became the target of his attack, like a reckless man running rampant on the street.
I have to say that as the only building ship and his car in Fang Dahai's hands, the protection ability on it is indeed strong enough, and the firepower on the ship is also very fierce. As soon as it became ruthless, all the ships that stood in its way were destroyed, and several ships converted from boats and fishing boats were knocked over by it, and their bones were lost. In addition, it constantly throws boulders to force the ships in front of it to get out of the way, while the crossbow arrows are also firing at a great speed, forcing other ships to dare not approach it. Not to mention the warships of the sailors of the Jieyi Army, even the warships of the other two water bandits are also within the range of Rang's attack. Therefore, many water bandits were extremely angry with his behavior.
As a result, Fang Dahai fled in front, and the warships of the Jieyi Army pursued behind. The warships of the other bandits around them were completely unsightly. Who made you so fierce that you beat your own people? Therefore, some of the warships of the other two bandits not only did not block the warships of the Jieyi Army's naval divisions, but also took the initiative to give up the passage, or went to fight with other warships of the Jieyi Army. Having said that, even if they caught up, they wouldn't be able to withstand the combined attack of a building ship and two fighting ships. Of course, whether there are other problems in this, such as the other two bandits thinking of taking the opportunity to get rid of him, only they know.
Because there is no water bandit's warship to intercept it, of course Hu Le will not let the other party go, no matter what, the other party is also the leader of the way, if he takes it down or kills, it will also be beneficial to his own side. Although Hu Le knew that it wouldn't be long before his own reinforcements would arrive, if he could solve the other party earlier, it would also affect the morale of the other party
However, Fang Dahai's building boat is on par with Hu Le's, and it is not easy to catch up. Of course, the attack is not accurate, and it is difficult to take the opponent down. Come to think of it, after all, the warships on both sides are owned by the bandits, and they are all half-used warships. Even if there is a gap, it is not a big difference. At the very least, in this chaotic battlefield, it is difficult to distinguish between high and low.
However, in Xu Wenle's roar, although the three warships of the Jieyi Army failed to take down Fang Dahai's ship, they also forced the other party not to flee north, but had to hide in Tibet, scurrying around on the battlefield, using other warships as a cover, wanting to escape with their lives.
Although Hu Le has three warships here, the other party only has one. However, it is more difficult to catch up and leave the other party behind, and even from time to time the other party escapes farther. The reason why this situation occurred was because the lake was very chaotic at this time, and the warships of the Qi army and the Jieyi army had been mixed together. Naturally, Hu Le couldn't sink his companions into the lake with a weapon, so he had to urge them to get out of the way. As a result, a lot of time was wasted when it came to getting out of the way and dispersing the enemy, but nevertheless. Xu Wenle still guided the entire warship at the bow of the ship, and let his three warships bite Fang Dahai's building ship to the death. was shot by the other party, Xu Wenle seemed to be consumed by the other party, staring at the other party and taking it as the primary target.
Knock knock knock......
The trebuchets on the ships on both sides were working like crazy, and the sailors on both sides were out of the way, stripping off all their clothes one by one, and working hard bare-chested. Those who were specifically responsible for loading crossbow arrows were even more tireless, almost numbly wringing open the arrow slots, stuffing 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, the chances of surviving in such a chaotic battlefield are too slim.
Inside the two ships, there were many stones, as if they would 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 make 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 spot on the top of your head that is getting bigger and bigger, and finally covering all your eyeballs, it means that one of your feet has stepped over the threshold of hell.
Of course, 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, small fishing boats, and other small boats, and clippers, if the boulders fall near them, the consequences are absolutely very bad, and sometimes the water column will directly overturn them, or they will knock all the people on board into the water, and even if they are not overturned, the violent waves that swell 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. The fighting ship is okay, it can still hit the boulder once or twice, as long as it doesn't hit a very critical place, it can barely move forward, slowly get out of this combat area, of course, it is impossible to continue the fight.
Although the size of the ships is small, they are originally used for impact, they are 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. Several of the ships moving around the two sides of the building were directly smashed into the water by the boulders, and until now they did not float, only to see more and more blood floating on the surface of the lake, more and more, and finally the lake near it turned into a small dark red water.
But those who walk and the clippers are miserable, and the fragile ones are no match for the boulder, and in front of the boulder, they are like newborn babies. Only the portion of the slaughtered. However, these walkers are responsible for delivering messages, rescuing the wounded, delivering supplies, and they must be dispatched even if the fighting is fierce. There are a lot of them, which increases the chance of being hit by boulders. If a boulder falls from the sky. It just happened to smash on a boat or a fast boat or assault boat, and most of this boat or fast boat would disappear at the same time as the boulder, leaving only a small whirlpool on the surface of the lake, on which a few pieces of wood chips floated. When the vortex disappears, there is no trace at all.
"Damn it, this sea is a loach!" Seeing that he was hiding in Tibet, and even the building boat was smashed several times by himself, and the enemy warship was still running away, Hu Le said angrily.
"Let go ......" Xu Wenle's shouting still sounded on the foredeck.
"Chirp ......" crossbow arrows are constantly whistling, filling everyone's eardrums. No one can tell where the bolts come from, and no one can tell where all the bolts hit the target, why they are fired, and where they are fired. Of course, these bandits and soldiers don't have time to pay attention to these at this moment.
At this moment, basically all the building ships and fighting ships on both sides are equipped with crossbow machines, and all building ships and fighting ships can shoot crossbow arrows. Needless to say, when they were in Jiaxing County, they had already replenished all kinds of materials and armor equipment, and crossbow arrows were naturally one of them.
As for the Qi army's sailors, after the invitation to fight, after Yan Mingfeng ordered the three parties to converge, the bed crossbows sent by the Qi army and the bed crossbows they originally collected were all loaded on the warship. Therefore, the proportion of crossbow arrows is quite large nowadays. In addition to the crossbows of large bed crossbows, there are also hand crossbows used by soldiers in battle.
It can be said that at this moment for everyone on the ship, crossbow arrows can be fired from any direction, from their front. From behind one's own back, from one's own flanks, and even from one's own head. 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 attempt to shoot arrows, throw boulders desperately, and cover up your inner turmoil with frantic attacks.
Meantime. Wavering praises will also swing up and down with the crossbow machine, unless the bolt has already 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 fire the crossbow arrows is to increase the crossbow arrows, hoping to cover the enemy with more crossbow arrows. In this way, there will be more crossbow arrows flying indiscriminately. And these crossbow arrows, which have lost their direction, are also the easiest to "hurt the innocent". They will always show up where the soldiers don't expect them, leaving them unprepared.
And Hu's building boat and Fang Dahai's building boat are naturally like this, even Xu Wenle, who was covered by the soldiers, was kept flying out of his shoulder with a crossbow arrow, leaving a huge wound on his shoulder. If it weren't for the fact that he felt something was wrong and bowed his head in time, he was afraid that he would be pierced by a crossbow arrow. Although he escaped, the two guards with shields beside him were both broken and killed.
"Bang......" Hu Le suddenly felt that the entire building ship was stunned, and the soldiers on the building ship were also shaken. At first, he thought that the other party's catapult hit his building ship, but then he knew that an armed merchant ship under Fang Dahai's command was stopped in front of him by Fang Dahai's order and was hit by his own building ship.
As a result, needless to say, the collision angle of the building ship pierced deeply into the front position of the side of the opponent's warship, opening a huge opening in front of the opponent's warship. Although the armed merchant ship used its body to stop the advance of the ship, the fate of the armed merchant ship was also terminated.
With a gurgling sound, the lake continued to pour down the gap into it. Although the bandits on the armed merchant ships are desperately scooping the water out, but what if it is faster than the upper pour?
Soon, the armed merchant ship began to tilt, moreover, back and forth. Seeing that they could not stop the lake from pouring in, the water bandits on the boat desperately pressed the gradually cocked tail, trying to use the strength of their human bodies to restore the balance of the boat. However, all this was in vain, this armed merchant ship still poured into the lake, completely turned over, and the water bandits on the ship, except for some who jumped into the water, the rest were directly detained inside, and for a long, long time, no one was seen floating.
Fang Dahai exchanged the lives of an armed merchant ship under his command and the lives of the bandits on it for a chance to escape, which made Hu Le have to give up continuing the pursuit. However, Hu Le was not worried, although the other party fled at this moment, sooner or later he would still fall into his own ambush.
