As the name suggests, Jinou Island is shaped like a golden ou, with a wide sea surface that is almost circular in the middle, a knife-like cliff next to it, and a waterway less than a mile wide at the exit. If you only look at it from the outside, no one would have imagined that there would be a hole inside.

Fan Jinsheng looked beyond the terrain and laughed vigorously: "Cui Qian is dead!" He immediately blocked the exit, confident that he would wipe out Cui Qian and the pirates who had attached him.

Cui Qian personally climbed to the high watchtower, holding up his clairvoyance, and saw Fan Jinsheng's actions clearly, he pursed his lips, smiled faintly, and raised his clairvoyance to look farther to the sea. The blue waves on the sea surface are vast, and the white waves are rushing under the encouragement of the sea breeze, like thousands of troops, layered, endless, magnificent, and make people suddenly feel heroic.

Cui Qian remained motionless until a fiery red shadow appeared in his clairvoyant eyes, and he smiled.

"his mother, it's been half a month, and I finally brought him to the pit." Cui Qian put down the clairvoyance, gently pounded his arm, which was a little sore because he had held the clairvoyant for too long, and slowly descended the watchtower. On the flying house, more than a dozen pirate leaders were looking at him with blank eyes. Although they were wearing military uniforms such as military horses and military marquises, their standing posture and the expressions on their faces revealed their pirate nature, which was a completely different contrast from Cui Yan and the others next to them.

"General, can you fight this time?" A one-eyed dragon pirate with a beard asked loudly, "It's too breathless to be chased by this black monkey." If the general doesn't fight, I'm going to fight. ”

"One-eyed eagle, you are bold, dare to shout in front of Cui Ye, are you not afraid that the wind will flash your tongue?" A sword-faced, military marquis dressed in a pirate sneered: "Can you fight, Cui Ye didn't count in his heart, do you want to talk more?" ”

"Your mother, aren't I panicking?" The one-eyed eagle snorted dissatisfiedly: "Since we fought with the general, when have we been chased like this?" How do I feel like I'm back to when I used to go it alone? ”

"You still want to go it alone?" Cui Qian grinned, his face pulled as if he was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes. The one-eyed eagle shuddered for a moment, and shook his head again and again: "General, I didn't mean that, I just said ......"

"You mean, my old Cui is incompetent, and he is chased like a yellow croaker and only knows how to escape, right?"

The one-eyed eagle swallowed his saliva, and the courage to refute it was gone, so he shrunk his neck and hid to the side. Dao Tiao's face glanced at him proudly, and he smiled again: "Cui Ye, you can't fight this time, right?" It's all blocked here, and if we don't give them some power, we won't be able to get out if we want to. ”

"Who said I was going to run?" Cui Qian's cold gaze swept away, and the smile on his knife face stiffened, and he was also a little uncomfortable. Cui Qian pointed to the Funan Sailors who were arranging troops in the distance, and said in a flat tone: "I know, you are scared by these Funan Sailors. It's no wonder that they have **1,000 people and more than 100 boats, while we only have 4,000 people and 50 or 60 boats here, and their hearts don't seem to be very aligned, and many brothers don't seem to have much confidence in my old Cui. He turned his head and glanced at the different pirates, and said in a word: "Perhaps, there are still a few of you who are thinking about whether to cut off my old Cui's head to ask for credit." ”

"This ...... How is this possible? Blade Strip said with a dry smile.

"It's fine." Cui Qian waved his hand calmly: "I urged the sign to make a living at sea, and I didn't do much behind this back then, you have this thought, I don't blame you, let me run away with someone for half a month, I will also move this thought." He laughed, and the laughter made many pirates change their faces, "However, my old Cui has not fallen to that point." The Funan sailors are all here, and the big guys are a little weak-hearted, which is understandable, and they don't want to fold their brothers, which is normal. It just so happens that my old Cui also has itchy hands, and it's easy to catch a big one, so I won't be polite to you. Please stand back a little and see if my old Cui comes to clean up these Funan sailors, and I also ask you to identify whether my old Cui's murderous kung fu has regressed, and whether this knife is good or bad in the end. ”

When the pirates heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, although their expressions were different. Half a month ago, the Funan Navy Division moved in the nest, Cui Qian was unusual, and ran away with these pirates, even Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen couldn't fight, they ran on the sea for half a month, and now they are blocked here by the Funan Navy Division, and they will definitely not be able to get out without a bloody battle. Comparing the strength of the two sides, although the pirates knew that Cui Qian's building ship was strong, but after all, there was only one building ship here, and there were more than 20 medium-sized warships, and it was really difficult to say whether they could still win as much as before in the face of twice as many Funan naval divisions. It's okay to make a fortune with Cui Qian, but you have to think about following Cui Qian to die. In the past half a month, most of the pirates who originally followed Cui Qian to rob have run away, and these people still have confidence in Cui Qian, but the difficulties in front of them are too great, and they can't help but think about their future. What they are most afraid of is that Cui Qian will push them to the front and let them fight to the death with the Funan Sailor first, in that case, none of them will have a way to live.

Now Cui Qian said that they don't need to go into battle, they finally let go, with Cui Qian's strength, even if they can't win, it is estimated that the Funan Water Division will be chaotic for a while, and then look at the situation, whether to rush up to help Cui Qian, or kill Cui Qian to invite credit, or don't help both, looking for a chance to escape, this can be chosen.

The one-eyed eagle pinched his nose and hesitated for a moment: "General, I'll follow you up." ”

Cui Qian glanced at him and grinned: "I understand your kindness, but this time, I am stingy and want to eat alone, and I don't want to share your share." ”

The one-eyed eagle didn't say a word, and retreated. Cui Qian was also not polite, and waved his hand: "Everyone go back to the boat, old Cui, I will capture the flag in a while, and I don't have time to chat with you anymore." Wait until I pull Fan Jinsheng's skull off, and then invite you to eat monkey head soup. ”

The pirates laughed playfully and went back to their ships. Cui Yan looked at the pirates who left in a hurry, and said with some worry: "Brother, why don't you take them together?" We ......"

"Are you afraid of hair?" Cui Qian scolded with a split: "I still want them to help?" Are these people the ones who can help? ”

Cui Yan muttered a few words, but didn't dare to say more. Cui Qian closed his voice and said, "You still don't know what the surnames of these people are?" Count on them to go into battle, and can you guarantee that they won't fight back? When the time comes, the first battle will be defeated, will it not damage the morale of our army? Besides, these people have always only been ruthless, not good, we have been hiding behind, they will inevitably be unconvinced in their hearts. If you don't take advantage of today's battle to fight with your majesty, let them see the strength of our Yue Guo Naval Division, sooner or later it will change. Fight this battle, let him see how good we are, and they will be much more comfortable in the future. ”

Cui Yan suddenly realized, nodded in admiration, and said with some worry: "However, our strength is too different, once the battle situation is not smooth, what should these pirates do from behind?" ”

"Hey, you know a." Cui Qian laughed evilly and scolded: "You only see more than 3,000 people here, why don't you want to think about General Zhuge and General Wei?" ”

"They're coming?" Cui Yan was overjoyed, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"If they don't come, how can I end up in this place of death?" Cui Qian sneered proudly and scolded viciously: "Fan Jinsheng thought he blocked me, and he didn't want to think about it, if I didn't want to be blocked by him, he would just break his intestines, and he wouldn't be able to wait for Lao Tzu's fart to eat." This monkey who had just shed his hair still wanted to fight with me, but this time he let him be the same as Fan Zhan, and there was no return, so he cut off his skull and sent it to Fan Man. He turned around and waved his hand in high spirits: "Lower the sails, raise the thunderbolts and ballistas, raise the slap rods, let the brothers be in good spirits, clean up Fan Jinsheng, Lao Tzu will take them to Iogera Harbor to be happy!" ”

When Cui Yan and the others heard this, they were full of energy, and when they gave an order, everyone became busy. The ship raised the battle flag, lowered the sails, the sound of "boom" sounded, countless large holes appeared on the originally straight deck, four thunderbolts, fifteen giant crossbows slowly rose up, the soldiers quickly stood on their posts, the winding, the adjustment of the direction, the arrows, the artillery, each responsible and orderly, the tall clap rod was also erected, the heavy iron ball dangled in mid-air, silent and full of murderous aura. The colorful flags waved by the flag soldiers commanded more than 20 medium-sized warships to enter combat positions.

There was a creaking sound in the cabins on the deck, and the cabins, which are usually two-thirds empty, were full of people, and six hundred people sat upright on the benches, with their big feet firmly stepping on the deck, holding the rocking wheels with both hands, pricking up their ears, and listening attentively to the orders of the captain.

"Attack!" Cui Qian waved his hand lightly, and the colored flags in the hands of the Lingqi soldiers on the watchtower waved twice in the air, and pointed diagonally forward, and the four medium-sized warships began to start, rushed out of the camp, and rushed towards the Funan Naval Division on the opposite side, and the other more than ten warships adjusted their formations in the march, separated from the left and right with the building ship as the center, lined up in a horizontal column, and moved forward at a constant speed.

"Accelerate!"

The six hundred oarsmen shook the oars in unison, and the snow-white water splashed from the back of the boat, and the ship began to accelerate, and slowly rushed to the front, rushing forward with a terrifying momentum.

Fan Jinsheng looked at the Yue Guo sailors who rushed over from a distance, he was relieved and puzzled, and he was relieved that in the face of his pressure, Cui Qian and the pirates were afraid, and the pirates did not dare to continue to oppose him, and Cui Qian did not dare to use the pirates as the striker, so he could only fight in person. What he was puzzled about was that he saw that there was a huge ship at the forefront of the Yue Navy, several times larger than the battleships on both sides, what kind of ship was this, and why did he never notice it?

Could it be the kind of grain ship as big as a mountain? But why did the grain ships rush to the front? Why is there no resemblance between this type of grain ship and an ordinary grain ship, but is closer to a warship, and what are the high masts on both sides for?

An ominous feeling rose in Fan Jinsheng's heart, the development of things was somewhat unexpected to him, this was the most taboo thing on the battlefield, without that feeling of confidence, he immediately smelled a trace of danger.

"Go up, get out of the way of the big ship in the middle, and deal with those ships first!" Fan Jinsheng gave the order in time.

The moving warships immediately separated from the middle, gave way to the building ships in the middle, and met the warships on both sides.

The two sides are moving forward at full speed, the distance in the middle is getting closer and closer, Fan Jinsheng stared at the opposite warship tightly, the more he looked at it, the more panicked he became, although there were not many of these warships, but the fearless momentum shown was terrifying, and what made Fan Jinsheng even more uneasy was that the speed of these ships was beyond his imagination, if these ships had fled at this speed earlier, he would not have been able to catch up, and he might have lost their traces long ago.

The ships were at least more than twice as fast as he understood.

Fan Jinsheng vaguely guessed something, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of sharp weapon the other party had? Even if they bring him over, their strength is still inferior to him, does he still have reinforcements? Or is this big ship really invincible, and it can be used as one as ten?

The more Fan Jinsheng thought about it, but the development of the battle situation did not allow him to think too much, and the two sides soon approached within three hundred paces, Fan Jinsheng gave an order, asking the crossbowmen to prepare to shoot, and let the soldiers stand firm, meet the upcoming charge, and prepare for the subsequent jumping gang battle.

The crossbowmen hid behind the side of the ship, raised the bow and crossbow in their hands, and aimed it at the Yue Guo sailors who were getting closer and closer, and the crossbowmen began to wind up, but the archers just put the arrows on and were not in a hurry to pull the string, the bow was not a crossbow, and they would not draw the bow until they could shoot, so as not to waste their strength.

Under normal circumstances, entering one hundred and fifty steps is the shooting distance of the crossbow, and entering one hundred steps before the archer will start shooting, this shooting pattern at different distances was formulated by Fan Man, and has been shown to be very effective in countless battles. As soon as you enter one hundred and fifty steps, the opponent will be hit by continuous blows, and many opponents will lose most of their combat effectiveness in this wave of blows.

Of course, in the face of the Yue State Naval Division, the soldiers of the Funan Naval Division did not dare to be so optimistic, they were not those vulnerable opponents, and it could be seen from the opponent's warships that their strength was not below their own side. However, the soldiers of the Funan Navy Division were not nervous, firstly, the number of the parties was obviously superior, and secondly, in the past half a month, they had been running with the Yueguo Naval Division, and their morale was very strong.

However, an exclamation soon made the Funan Sailor feel tremendous pressure.

Two hundred paces away, when the crossbowmen had just raised their crossbows and put their fingers on the crossbow machine to shoot, a black shadow suddenly flew from the opposite warship, and the black shadow shot into the air, tearing through the air and screaming, piercing the sound of the waves, and quickly flew towards them.

Does the other party have an arrow that can shoot so far? In the astonishment of the Funan sailors, the six- or seven-foot-long crossbow arrows flew over a distance of two hundred paces and shot at the stunned Funan soldiers.

"Phew!" With a loud bang, a crossbow bolt shattered the wooden crossbow in one of the crossbowmen's hands, piercing his chest without hindrance, and then from his back, with a puddle of blood, again through the lower abdomen of his companion behind him, and the sharp arrow passed through his body, causing him to take a few steps back, and finally breaking the thigh of one of the soldiers, and then stopped.

It was only at this time that the empty-handed crossbowman saw the blood bursting from his chest, his eyes widened, he stretched out his hand that was numb from the powerful force of the crossbow arrow, touched the hole that suddenly appeared in his chest, suddenly came to his senses, couldn't help but let out a miserable scream, staggered two steps, and fell to the ground with a "boom".

The people next to him were frightened by the tragic situation in front of them, and in the blink of an eye, there were a few more gaps in the densely packed crossbowman wall on the side, and most of the soldiers who were shot were killed on the spot, and a few screamed in pain, and the most terrifying thing was that a soldier was hooked out of his intestines by crossbow arrows, and his intestines were nailed to the deck by crossbow arrows, and as he struggled, they were dragged out one by one, rolling on the deck, steaming, bleeding, and smelling.

In the astonishment of the Funan Naval Division, the two sides approached rapidly, and they had already entered a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, but because the power of the attack launched by the Yue Guo Naval Division was too amazing, most of the crossbowmen of the Funan Naval Division lost the best time to launch, and by the time they came to their senses, the two sides were already less than eighty paces.

With the rapid approach of the battleship was a rain of arrows, the arrows on the Vietnamese warship shot far and urgently, and the morale of the Funan Navy Division was beaten to pieces at the first time, and the deck was even more in disarray.

"Archery!" Fan Jin was so angry that he pulled out his war knife and slashed at the neck of a stupid soldier, and the head rolled out on the deck for a long time, and finally stopped between a pair of legs, but the eyes could not be closed, and the horror on his face was frozen forever.

The Funan soldiers finally came back to their senses and shot the arrows in their hands at the Yue Navigator who was bumping into them, but because many of them were broken, the power of this arrow rain was greatly reduced compared to the plan.

If it was in normal times, Fan Jinsheng would definitely kill a few people again, and use the fear of death to arouse the fighting spirit of these people, but today he really didn't have this mood, and the largest ship on the other side seemed to know him, and crashed directly into him. When I looked at it from a distance, I just felt that it was relatively large, but when I got closer, Fan Jinsheng personally felt the coercion brought by the condescension of this kind of warship, and watched the tall bow of the ship press over like a mountain, and Fan Jinsheng, who had gone through countless tests of life and death, felt fear for the first time.

didn't give him much time to think, and the building boat, which had been aiming at him for a long time, crashed head-on.

"Boom!"

Fan Jinsheng felt as if he was flying, lost his sense of balance for a moment, he flew in mid-air, and then fell on the already tilted deck with a "snap", and could not stand up again. His flagship was completely vulnerable in front of the opponent's huge size, and it was knocked back a few feet away, and then collided with each other again, this time it was a little off, and the building boat was like a plow, and it plowed over with an unstoppable momentum, squeezing Fan Jinsheng's flagship to the side.

"Titicacaca......" The sound of the fangs continued to sound, and Fan Jinsheng watched as his flagship, which he had experienced countless battles, was squeezed and deformed, cracked, and crooked to the side, and then, he saw several black shadows smashed down with a whistling sound.

"Boom!"

There was another loud bang, and the two slapsticks that fell at the same time hit the air, hitting the sea water that was still a zhang away from the bow of the ship, striking a three-zhang high water column, and the rushing sea water hit the boat, sprinkling the panicked soldiers on the boat, and the other slap rod accurately hit the position where Fan Jinsheng was standing, the vertical wood of the watchtower was broken by the waist, and the soldiers in the watchtower held the wooden pillar with both hands, and fell into the sea with the watchtower.

The battleship let out a series of wails again, the whole hull sank sharply, and then was bounced up by the seawater, and in a moment it had passed by the building ship, and the hull that was squeezed by the building ship and almost rolled over lost its support, and fell back in the opposite direction, and then shook violently, and several frightened soldiers were thrown out.

The two sides are separated at the touch of a button.

Fan Jin grabbed a railing to death, turned his head, and looked at the building boat that was getting farther and farther away, his face pale. At this point, he could roughly guess what was going on, the extremely powerful warship in front of him was the kind of mountain-like warship, not a grain ship at all, Fan Xun was deceived by the Yue people, and the price was the 8,000 sailors.

Fan Jinsheng has fought countless naval battles, but it is the first time he has encountered the winner so quickly, and what is even more tragic is that he is the one who was defeated. The first wave of collision between the Yue Guo Navy Division and the Funan Navy Division has ended, and Fan Jinsheng now knows at a glance that he has suffered enough in this collision, not to mention that his flagship was obviously knocked over by the opponent's building ship in the first round, and the situation of other warships is not optimistic. The medium ships of the Viet Nam Naval Division were only slightly larger than his counterships, but they were more than twice as fast, and their arrows were dense, urgent, and long-range. Fan Jinsheng saw with his own eyes that the opponent first shot a sharp shot, catching the oncoming warship of the Funan Navy Division by surprise, and then rushed up, breaking more than a dozen oars before flying away, rushing straight to the third echelon behind.

The advantage of the many ships of the Funan Navy Division completely lost its effect in the face of the speed and crossbow arrows of the Yue Guo Naval Division, and what made Fan Jinsheng even more depressed was that he noticed at this time that the oars could not be seen on both sides of the battleship of the Yue National Naval Division, and the two ships collided sideways, and the Funan Naval Division had to lose a few oars, but the Yue National Naval Division was unscathed and the speed was still the same. Fan Jinsheng looked carefully for a long time, only to find that the sailors of the Yue Kingdom were all out of the water behind the boat.

What kind of ship is this? Fan Jinsheng sat on the flagship, which had been basically scrapped and could only circle in the water, waiting for the fate of sinking, and was puzzled. At this moment, he didn't even have time to think about how fatal this battle would be for his future.

(To be continued)
