"Phew!" The giant arrow pierced through one of the wooden shields, slaying the pirate behind the shield unabated, and then pierced the other wooden shield, and the bloody tip of the arrow stopped in front of the pirate whose arm was unconscious, no more than three inches from his wide-eyed eyes.

"Guard!" Cui Qian screamed, and more guards rushed in front of him, raising wooden shields one after another, forming a layer of shield walls, but the stone walls and giant crossbows from the building boat continued one after another, and every heavy blow killed several guards, and after a while, more than a dozen guards fell in front of Cui Qian, and the artillery flew by and fell into the water, causing a splash that drenched his face with water.

Cui Qian was really crazy, the powerful lethality of the building ship provoked his killing surname, he ordered the frightened sailors to rock the warship under the building ship, avoided the attack of the thunderbolt and the giant crossbow, entered the blind spot of the sight, and then climbed a soft ladder and climbed onto the building ship.

On the ship, hundreds of pirates and officers and soldiers are fighting, the officers and soldiers are better than the equipment, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and the pirates are better than the number of people, not afraid of death, the two sides are in a mess, you come and go, and the deck will soon be full of blood.

"Kill them!" Cui Qian looked at the ballistas and thunderbolts that were still roaring, as well as the undulating slapping rods, and his head was numb for a while, oh my God, today is really a big fate, a strong crossbow, a stone ball, and that kind of big wooden pillar, no matter which one can kill himself, but he actually escaped death several times, except for the blood on his face stabbed by sawdust, there was no major injury.

If you don't die in a great calamity, you will have a blessing in the future. Cui Qian suddenly became excited, God doesn't want me to die, what can you do to me, God is destined for you to come today to send me a better ship. You broke Lao Tzu's building ship, but sent me a better building ship.

"Kill them-" Cui Qian drew his knife and shouted, raised his shield to open a long halberd, the long knife roared down, and slashed an officer and soldier who was blocking the front, and the long knife slashed horizontally, slashing at the neck of another officer and soldier, dragging it hard, and blood gushed out.

Smelling the hot blood, Cui Qian trembled, and suddenly, he found the feeling of single-handedly killing into the pirate village, full of indescribable rage, he rushed into the battle group, roared like thunder, and killed three people in a row, unstoppable.

"Shaft." Yue Hai saw Cui Qian who was on a rampage, and smiled bitterly. Today is really evil, if you change an ordinary person, I am afraid that you have already died a few times, but this Cui Qian's life is really hard, not only is it okay, but it is also killed. Seeing that there are more and more pirates, the officers and soldiers are about to collapse, and the crossbowmen, artillerymen, and slappers are no longer able to work normally, and the combat power of the building ship is close to total loss. ”

Cui Qian, who was on a killing spree, was rushing left and right in the group of officers and soldiers, excited inexplicably, as long as he killed these officers and soldiers in front of him, this powerful building ship was about to fall into his hands, just when he was getting closer and closer to success, the hatch of the second floor of the flying house suddenly opened, and more than a dozen clay pots flew out one after another, and several sounds in succession smashed on the deck, cracking into pieces, and suddenly the fragrance of oil overflowed. Cui Qian looked at the oil all over the ground, smelled the fragrant oil, and was a little dazed for a while, how could there be oil at this time? But when he saw the fire fold in Yue Hai's hand, his brain buzzed, and without saying a word, he turned his head and ran, flew over the half-man-high gangway, and jumped into the sea.

Yue Hai threw down the fire fold, and with a "coax", a string of flames burst out and quickly spread on the deck, involving all the officers and pirates who were fighting. Both the officers and soldiers and the pirates were so frightened that they forgot to fight, threw the weapons in their hands, some slapped the flames on their bodies, and some scrambled to push away those who stood in front of them, rushed to the side of the gunwale, turned over and jumped into the sea.

"Maniac!" Cui Qian, who had emerged from the water, shuddered as he looked at the blazing deck.

"Want my boat? Next life. Yue Hai gritted his teeth and sneered, and waved his hand: "Open the cabin, everyone jump into the sea, and seek their own survival." ”

"General, you can jump too." Li Nong's face was pale, and his legs trembled.

"I don't jump." Yue Hai was very frustrated, and his eyes revealed a strong unwillingness: "With such a careful plan, I didn't succeed in one blow, it's not my fault, it's God who doesn't want me to cross the sea successfully." I was first defeated at the hands of the pirate king of the East China Sea, should I still be a prisoner of the pirate king of the South China Sea? The eldest husband lives a lifetime, and he can't be so cowardly. ”

"General......" Li Nong wept bitterly.

"What a howl, my husband bleeds without tears." Yue Hai shouted angrily, "It's a man, follow me to kill the thief, there can't be a pirate's corpse on my ship." ”

"Whoa." Li Nong replied loudly with a crying voice, he raised his head, looked at Yue Hai with teary eyes, and was about to express a few words of determination, but his eyes suddenly widened, and a look of surprise flashed in his tears. Yue Hai was furious and was about to beat him, when someone next to him shouted: "General, it's reinforcements, it's General Fubo here......"

Yue Hai turned his head to see that on the sea to the east, between the blue sea and the sky, two red clouds of smoke were impressive.

Yue Hai only felt a burst of numbness rushing to his head, he was stunned for a moment, suddenly came to his senses, rushed to the drummer, snatched the drum pole with his hand, and beat the drum hard.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

"Reinforcements are coming...... Li Nong was so excited that his voice changed, and he ran wildly on the deck, roaring loudly. A guard felt out the signal tube with trembling hands, and pulled it twice before tearing off the seal on it, but he couldn't find the fire fold. He rushed to the fire on the deck, lit the signal tube, and held it high.

"Whoosh-" A spark flew into the sky, and with a "pop" sound, a red mist burst in the air.

"Reinforcements are coming, accelerate, accelerate." The sailors below the deck did not know that there was a fire on it, but they only heard the excited roars of their companions, and suddenly they came to the strength and helped the runner with all their strength, and the sixteen oars stirred the seawater, and once again squeezed the dense pirate ship next to it, and started slowly. Although they were slow, but the power brought by the huge size was not to be underestimated, one after another pirate ships were squeezed away by them, pressed into the water, the pirates rowed hard, with the weapons in their hands to chop the plank, but they could not stop the slow and resolute start of the ship, they were like a group of ants surrounding a beetle, although they tried their best, but still could not stop the beetle from escaping.

"Suck up water to extinguish the fire." The officers and men who escaped the death were full of energy, and they shook the water hose mounted on the ship in the rain of arrows shot by the pirates, sucking the sea water up and washing the oil on the deck. The burning oil was washed up to the gangway and down the drain hole, drenching the pirates who had not yet understood the situation on the ship and still tried to climb up. The pirates looked at the moving fire in horror, and no longer bothered to climb, and jumped into the sea one by one. After a while, the officers and soldiers dug out the sand from the prepared sand box to extinguish the remaining fire.

Cui Qian looked at everything in front of him, his face was like ashes. Although he didn't see the signal in the distance, he knew that the officers and soldiers whose morale had collapsed suddenly came to their deaths, and reinforcements must have come.

Failure, or, just falling into a bigger trap? Cui Qian's heart was cool.

Wei Jing escaped less than twenty miles with the fleet before encountering Sun Shao, who was ambushed here. Sun Shao smiled when he saw him: "Nervous all the way, right?" ”

Wei Jing didn't laugh, he was furious, and glared at Sun Shao angrily: "The general is so leisurely, he has obviously arrived, but he is hiding here, allowing us to be chased by pirates." In order to delay the time of the pirates, General Yue poured out his surname and attacked Cui Qian by boat, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. ”

When Sun Shao heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he didn't care about treating his anger with Wei Jing, so he asked about the situation, and immediately set off with five building ships and more than eighty fighting ships. As early as a day ago, he got the news of crossing the sea and them, and according to their speed, he chose the ambush site. He was not worried about Yuehai's safety, he had already told Yuehai that if the pirates caught up, you would throw down the merchant ship and escape, and then take it back from Cui Qian's hands. Unexpectedly, Yue Hai didn't listen to him, and for the sake of the merchant ship, he went to fight Cui Qian alone.

He was annoyed and regretted, if Yue Hai died because of this, the loss would be great, not only the secret weapon on the ship would be exposed, but the death of Yue Hai, a general who was well versed in naval warfare, would be the biggest loss. His subordinates are now the strongest in Yue Hai's ability, but his strength is the weakest, and he has not yet shown his strength.

Sun Shaosheng was afraid that Yue Hai would not be able to support it for too long, so while hurrying, he kept letting people put out signals, and he kept searching with clairvoyance. When he saw the chaotic sea, he was very nervous, because the ships that crossed the sea were surrounded by pirates, and they were obviously encircled.

Fortunately, at this time, he saw red smoke.

"Rush forward!" Sun Shao yelled excitedly.

Su patted the railing with his thick legs, and said very calmly: "I owe him a favor last time, and this time I give it to him, so that this shaft will blow his beard and stare at me every time he sees me." Brothers, come on and let Cui Qian see who is the real king of pirates. ”

The pirates from the East China Sea laughed and shouted in unison, rocking the ship as fast as they could, and rushed towards the pirates first.

"Dog, trying to rob me of my credit?" Chen Hai rolled his eyes, drew his sword and shouted: "Hurry up, don't let the pirates compare, we are General Zhichong's subordinates." ”

"Whose subordinate are you?" Sun Shao flew up and kicked Chen Hai's buttocks, kicking him two steps forward and almost falling.

Chen Haihai was negligent last time and ran away from Cui Wu, causing Sun Shao's wishful thinking to fail. Sun Shao was furious, let Shen Xuan take over his position, slashed his official position as a captain, and demoted him to a personal guard, Chen Hai hated Cui Wu to the core, this time he gritted his teeth to make meritorious service, so that Sun Shao could return his captain to him again, he was in a hurry, he didn't choose what to say, and Sun Shao grabbed the handle. He didn't dare to refute, and hurriedly laughed: "Of course it's General Fubo's subordinates, General Fubo's subordinates." ”

"Shaft, listen to me well, next time it's wrong, Lao Tzu cut off your donkey's ears." Sun Shao scolded with a smile.

In the midst of laughter and scolding, five building ships and more than eighty fighting ships cut into the pirates in a charging formation, starting with the attack of the crossbows and thunderbolts on the building ships, opening the prelude to the bloody massacre. Cui Qian's only building ship was destroyed by the suicide attack across the sea, and only one hundred and ten medium-sized warships and nearly a thousand small boats remained.

The building ship rampage, the panicked pirates one by one, flying artillery and crossbow arrows attacked the pirates in the distance, the continuous rise and fall of the slap rod near the pirate ship overturned, sunk, and then followed the fighting ship to the pirates who had just been ravaged by the building ship once again bullied, they relied on their own speed, unreasonable and directly collided, the pirates were beaten miserable, hit and bumped, chased and couldn't catch up, escaped and couldn't escape, Cui Qian's strength, who has always been accustomed to playing majestic, withstood the trampling of the sailor building ship twice within an hour, and suffered heavy losses.

The sailors who had succeeded in the blow were unforgiving, their morale was high, and they rushed into the pirate fleet that followed behind them.

Although there are many pirate ships, they have not been able to get any advantage in front of the well-equipped officers and soldiers, their small boats of twenty or thirty people are not the opponent of the fighting ships at all, let alone the building ships, after witnessing the scene of Cui Qian's fleet dominated by medium-sized fighting ships being defeated by the sailors, they have lost their fighting spirit, and then they saw the sailors rushing up, after a short fluke, some people began to escape, first one ship, then two, three, then ten, twenty...... Morale plummeted, and the pirates who had been gathered together for wealth collapsed, and they no longer thought about Cui Qian's life or death, and turned around and fled in all directions, regardless of the stretch of coast or the endless sea in front of them, all they wanted now was to escape from the wolf-like sailors.

At this time, Cui Qian couldn't take care of them, he was entangled by Sun Shao and Su Thick Legs, the two building ships turned in circles, using their huge size, to block the pirates who tried to rescue Cui Qian, only Cui Qian and the two fighting ships, more than a dozen small boats were surrounded in the circle, and the thunderbolts and slapsticks on the side sides raged mercilessly, and it didn't take long to beat Cui Qian into a lonely man.

Cui Qian stood at the bow of the only remaining fighting ship, and the sea next to him was a layer of broken wooden planks, countless pirates were floating in the water, some were alive, and more were dead, under the strong attack of the building ship, these people had little chance of surviving. Cui Qian couldn't see how the others were, but he could imagine that one ship in the sea had caused such a big damage, and now that there were five of them, the pirates were definitely not opponents. And he also saw that Sun Shao was mainly targeting him this time, among the five building ships, there were two specially against his subordinates, and the fighting ships that he used to be proud of were very weak under Sun Shao's attack, and the feeling of having a big advantage in front of other pirates was gone, just like a hooligan who had been accustomed to bullying women from a good family now met a more powerful hooligan, and in the blink of an eye, he was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen.

Cui Qian's heart is like ashes, since the day he became a pirate, he has thought of countless ways to die, but he has not thought about such a death today, it is too cowardly, what kind of pirate king is he? Being bullied like this, how can you still have the face to be called the king of pirates. This South China Sea is no longer his South China Sea, even if he can escape? Zongzhai was lost, Laozhai was lost, and the wealth accumulated for decades has now become Sun Shao's trophies, allowing him to crisscross the South China Sea, and countless pirates' belongings have also been lost in this naval battle.

He's a pauper now.

And two months ago, he was still a majestic pirate king who even had to give three points of face to the scholars.

It's too fast, just as fast as he suddenly became the king of pirates a few years ago, no, even faster than that.

Cui Qian sighed, threw away the scabbard, put the knife across his neck, looked up at Sun Shao, looked at Yue Hai who had just almost burned himself to death, and smiled miserably: "You won." ”

"Wait." Sun Shao stretched out his hand and stopped Cui Qian, who was about to draw a knife to kill himself, he crouched on the railing, looking at Cui Qian with a smile, like a cat teasing a mouse: "You, are you really ready to die?" ”

"What if you don't die?" Cui Qian glanced at Sun Shao with disdain: "Can you still let me go?" ”

"Of course not." Sun Shao shook his head very facelessly: "However, you can not die." ”

"You want me to be your dog?" Cui Qian spat out: "Do you think I'm a shameless rat like Su Thick-legged?" ”

Su Thick Leg became angry, pulled his bow and arrows, and aimed at Cui Qian to shoot. Cui Qian was not afraid, and glared at Su Thick Legs. Sun Shao waved his hand, signaling Su Thick Legs to be a little calm. "You don't want to surrender, and I don't want to force you. Let's make a deal, you give me that chart, and I can let you live. ”

"Charts?" Cui Qian was taken aback.

"That's right, it's the chart with Daqin and Tianzhu." Sun Shao lay under the railing, dangling one leg, not like between two formations, but like he met a good friend in the streets and alleys, chatting leisurely. "I'm not as unproductive as you, nesting in the South China Sea to be the king and hegemon, bullying these merchant ships, I'm going to the sea to bully some Daqin, Tianzhu and the like, but I don't have a chart now, let's draw it myself, it's too troublesome, I heard that you have a chart there, so I want to make a deal with you."

"And." Cui Qian sneered: "What about your dreams, you are still bullying Daqin, bullying Tianzhu, do you know how far Daqin is?" ”

"That's the difference in vision." Sun Shao was not angry, and pointed at Cui Qian slowly, and then pointed to his nose: "So you will always be a little pirate who is not successful, but I can become the biggest pirate in the world, this is called the king of pirates, you that, no." ”

Cui Qian is arrogant, but this time he met a more awesome one, this kid is clearly an official, but he is not only ashamed to be the king of pirates, but also the king of pirates in the world, which is much more than his dream. He was so angry that he couldn't even care about committing suicide, and pointed at Sun Shao with a long knife and shouted: "You dream, ask for a chart, go find it yourself, don't want to take it from me." I'd rather take the picture to the underworld than give it to you. ”

"Then it's not negotiable." Sun Shao clapped his hands regretfully, and with a wave of his hand, a cry came, and more than a dozen women and children were pushed to the side of the boat. When Cui Qian saw it, he was immediately stupid, these were all his family members, the gray-haired one was his old mother, the one who was frightened was his wife and concubine, and the one who cried so much that his little face was spent on his son and daughter. "Cui Qian, you die, I'll look for it slowly, anyway, your head village is now in my hands. Don't worry, I will occupy your general village, return you a favor, and don't let you be lonely on Huangquan Road, after you die, I will let them give you a funeral, you take a closer look, is there anything missing? If there's any one missing, I'll go back and make it up for you. ”

"Brute, I'm going to kill you." Cui Qian was so angry that he bit the knife in his mouth, and stretched out his hand to row, but how could the fighting boat be rowed by one person, he spent a lot of effort, but the boat just shook.

"Oh, you can't wait? Still not worried about me? Or will I send them away first, and then you will die? Sun Shao waved his hand, and two soldiers rushed up, dragged Cui Qian's mother to the side, raised the ring head knife high, and was about to behead.

"Son—" Cui Qian's mother struggled in vain, slumping to the ground.

"Husband—"

"A-"

The cries came and went, like a heavy hammer hitting Cui Qian's heart. Cui Qian burst into tears, knelt on the boat, fell to the ground, and wept bitterly: "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you-"

"And." Sun Shao stretched out his voice and waved his hand: "Isn't this already over?" Come, invite the old lady back, and wait for her. ”

...... "You are ruthless enough, you actually burn the boat to play [***]?" Sun Shaohu looked at Yue Hai coldly with a huh. Yue Hai's face was full of shame, he hung his head silently, hesitated for a moment, and then said embarrassedly: "The subordinates are afraid that the ship will fall into the hands of pirates, and they will ...... in the future."

"I know what you mean, but why didn't you go according to my plan?" Sun Shao interrupted him and said very unhappily: "I have planned it, there is an ambush on him in front, you are good, what a hero, one ship single-handedly takes on 20,000 pirates." You are not afraid of death, do you want to lead your brothers to death? ”

"General." Yue Hai stubbornly raised his head, met Sun Shao's somewhat surprised gaze, and said calmly: "Since you have become a sailor, you have to prepare to die in battle, but we are escorting merchant ships, if we just send merchant ships to pirates, how can we be at ease?" ”

"Hey, you're still stubborn?" Sun Shao laughed angrily at him, rushed to Yue Hai, pointed at his nose and scolded: "You tell me honestly, have you ever cared about the life or death of merchant ships before?" Did you want to leave me alone and run away last time? Have you ever wavered this time? Do you have? Do you have? ”

Yue Hai blushed and laughed dryly: "Yes." ”

"That's it, what kind of saint are you pretending to be with me now?"

"Actually, if it weren't for Lord Wei's invitation, I would definitely have run away." Yue Hai glanced at Wei Jing who was sitting on the side with a calm face, and was very grateful, he heard that Wei Jing collided with Sun Shao for him, although Sun Shao didn't blame him now, but who knows if he will clean him up in the future, I heard that Sun Shao is not a master to mess with. Don't look at him smiling all day long, wilting.

"Lord Wei is so eloquent, in a word, he almost broke one of my generals." Sun Shao turned his head, looked at Wei Jing and smiled: "You owe me a favor, how do you plan to pay it back?" ”
