The pirates who rushed close to the building ship heard the screams behind them, and they didn't care too much, four or five ships were sunk in the crowded pirate ship like a school of fish, which was more shocking for the person concerned and the people next to them, but for the people in the distance, they didn't care much, they rushed towards the building ship as always. At the moment, except for the building boat, they can't think too much, even the roar of the giant crossbow overhead, they don't care, the crossbow is powerful, but the speed is slow, besides, I'm under the ship, what can you do with me?

Just when the pirates who rushed to the side of the building ship were triumphant, the strangest thing happened.

A tall, easy to mistake for a sub-mast wooden pillar suddenly fell down with a terrifying momentum, and the ball tied with iron chains, even more than half a circle, with the sound of the wind smashed down, two pirate ships bear the brunt, one was hit by the wooden pillar in the middle of the ship, was smashed on the spot, the sailors on the ship could not sit steadily, several turned over and fell into the water, the five or six sailors who were directly hit by the wooden stake did not say a word, directly became a meat pie, the people in front of them were still trying to control their bodies, no time to pay attention to the situation behind, The sailors behind him were dumbfounded as they looked at the wooden pillars that suddenly lay in front of them.

The pirates who were hit by the wooden pillar should be glad that they had only capsized, after all.

Those who were hit by iron were not so lucky.

The heavy iron ball fell from the sky and smashed on the bow of a fighting ship that had just been snatched from the hands of the sailors, and the pirates who were standing in front of the fighting ship and commanding suddenly disappeared, and soon the pirates found that the bow of the ship was gone, and the bow that was originally raised high disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a large hole, and the sea water poured in, and the tail of the fighting ship was warped at a very obvious speed, whether it was a pirate rocking the oar, or a pirate preparing for battle, they all lost their balance and stumbled forward. One of the pirates panicked, grabbed the chain in front of him at once, and looked at his companions who ran past him and fell into the sea, he just showed a happy smile, but found himself leaving the ship, farther and farther away from the sea, farther and farther away, the sinking ship was under his feet, and the horror on the faces of several companions with their heads up was clearly visible.

He was stunned, raised his head and saw that he and the iron ball were suspended in mid-air, and were leaning towards the building ship, at this height, he finally saw the whole picture of the building ship, on the gangways on both sides of the building ship, six identical giant trees were rising and falling, some slowly stretched out like him, and some were whistling down, smashing on the ship of an accomplice who might or may not know.

Before he could see too much, a sharp arrow flew silently, and one shot through his throat, he looked at the arrow feather under his chin, let go of his hand, and fell into the sea with endless questions.

"Rabbit cub, his hands and feet are quite fast, and he is not afraid of falling when he climbs so high." Sun Shangxiang put away his bow and scolded indignantly.

"General Sun is good at archery." Guan Feng, who was in the cabin, clapped his palms and said with a smile.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." Sun Shangxiang bowed gracefully.

Their courtesy corresponded to the roar of fifteen great crossbows, the roar of four thunderbolts, and the undulation of six poles. The giant crossbow is in charge of the pirate leader a hundred paces away, the thunderbolt is in charge of the pirate ship about eighty paces, and the slap stick has to deal with the pirate ship that is close to the building ship, each with its own responsibilities and orderly.

The ballistas and thunderbolts, though powerful, were not noticeable in the dense crowd of ships on the sea, and the deterrence brought by the ship's six poles was not trivial. Seeing that the pirate ships approached the building ship, but they were broken into pieces one by one by the beating rods that fell from the sky, just a cup of tea, a layer of wood floated next to the building ship, countless pirates held one or two pieces of ship board in the water and wailed, they did not worry about drowning, so many rotten ships, the hand can reach the wood, but the giant wood and iron balls that fall from the head from time to time are too scary, the splash of water is endless, just like the fish that have been driven into the net and are desperately struggling, the difference is that these fish are sent to the door by themselves, And it was happily delivered to the door.

The pirates in the back didn't know what was going on in front of them, they continued to rush forward, generally cursing their accomplices in front of them, and when they reached the mouth of the waterway, they rushed forward, and behind the building ship was a fat merchant ship, what are you doing here? What's so good about the building boat, if you want to see it, drag it back and see it slowly, isn't it blocking the way to make money. They scolded but to no avail, and when they finally squeezed to the front, and saw this terrible scene, it was not so easy when they shouted to retreat, and the large and small pirate ships were huddled together, like fish waiting to be disemboweled.

The pirates were frightened inexplicably, and the officers and soldiers of the sailors were also horrified, and the ones in front were good to say, they couldn't see very clearly, but the lethality brought by these six slapsticks was too shocking, every time they fell, they could overturn or even shatter one or two pirate ships, and the pirate ships were no different from toys under the heavy blow of the slap rods, waiting for the tragic fate without exception, and the six slapsticks were like the six giant feet of a huge insect, mercilessly crushing the ships into pieces.

Although there were many pirates, they couldn't get close to the building ship at all, and they surrounded the building ship, not like they were attacking, but more like they were sent to death.

Yue Hai was very excited, but also a little bitter, he brought seventy or eighty warships, not the opponent of the pirates, but Sun Shao only created such a record with just a stationary building ship, and what kind of glory will his building ship create? He couldn't help but be curious, put his hand on his brow, and looked into the distance.

He saw Sun Shao's ship turn north from the south and rush towards the pirates at an unstoppable speed.

After Sun Shao left the waterway mouth and headed south, the pirates didn't care too much, there were so many ships, who would pay attention to an escaped ship. Even if you catch up, what can you do? Therefore, almost all the pirates automatically ignored this building ship, and even Zhou Qun, who was now a real and unknown pirate king, did not pay much attention, and all his attention was focused on the attack in front. The sailor has retreated into the waterway, and there is only one building ship left at the mouth of the waterway, and countless accomplices have surrounded it, although the building ship is taller and more difficult to conquer than ordinary warships, but Zhou Qun has every reason to believe that in the face of such a huge number of pirates, no matter how difficult the building ship is, it will not escape the doom, the difference is only how many accomplices die. Zhou Qun is not afraid of sacrifice, and the more people who sacrifice, the better it will be for him, and the more confident he will be in control of the overall situation. His cronies are all around him, just waiting for the last rush out to snatch the fruits of victory, and kill those brainless fools more so that he can get more benefits.

He has now begun to think about how to deal with Su's thick legs, and if he wins this battle, he can clean up Su's thick legs, and only by cleaning up Su's thick legs can he be the real overlord of the East China Sea.

Why can't I become the urging sign of the East China Sea? Zhou Qun sneered, ambitious, and he was immersed in the imagination of the future, until a frightened reminder sounded in his ears.

"Fire—"

Zhou Qun turned his head to look at it, and was taken aback, the building boat that he thought had been in a hurry came back at some point, full of sails, and rushed towards him at an unbelievable speed by taking advantage of the gradually rising southeast wind. And everywhere it went, the pirate ship responsible for guarding his left flank was no match at all, without exception it was knocked over by it and crushed below the belly, and the pirate ship that survived was not actually lucky, they caught fire one after another. The speeding ship was like a wild beast, rushing into the flock of sheep without any shelter, and the ship capsized everywhere it went, and a sea of fire.

Zhou Qun's eyes widened in horror, and he stammered and pointed to the rapidly approaching building boat: "He...... How did he ...... So fast? ”

The cronies around him were also dumbfounded, yes, how could Lou Chuan be so fast? Even if you go fast, that's just it. Such a speed is understandable when it appears on a small ship like a walker, but it is incomprehensible when it appears on a giant warship like a building ship.

Sun Shao didn't care if they could understand it or not, he gathered a few of the best archery guards around him, plus the only two ten-stone crossbows on the ship, and aimed at Zhou Qun's warship in the middle of the rear of the pirate brigade, as early as when he was at the mouth of the waterway, he found Zhou Qun's location in the clairvoyance. After staying in the south for a while, he found that most of the pirates had already crowded to the front, and when the guards around Zhou Qun were relatively weak, he timely commanded the warships to ride the wind and waves and roar.

The standard configuration of an ordinary building ship is 600 sailors and 400 warriors, and the building ship that has been modified by him is 400 sailors and 300 warriors, but he does not have so many people, so he is only half matched, and the two ships have a total of 300 sailors and 300 soldiers, which obviously cannot exert the greatest power. Therefore, he decided to take a surprise risk, and the two building ships were one main attack and the other main defense. Almost all of the 300 soldiers were transferred to the main ship, more than 100 people were forced to crossbows, thunderbolts and poles, and more than 100 people were able to deal with pirates who were lucky enough to climb on the ship, and the 300 sailors were all transferred to the main attack ship, and they started with all their strength, and raised the speed of the ship to the highest speed at all costs. If four hundred sailors go into battle together, it can be said that even the horses will not be able to catch up with him.

In the face of the swift building ships, the pirates' reaction was as Sun Shao expected, they did not have any effective countermeasures except to keep their eyes open, one ship after another was knocked over by the building ships, and the turquoise blue water was like fertile land being ploughed open by an iron plow, exuding a fresh smell.

It's just that these smell a little bloody.

What surprised the pirates even more was that when the ship passed in front of them, they threw down one clay pot after another, and as soon as these clay pots hit the ship, they cracked, and the liquid contained in them was immediately ignited by the fire at the mouth of the jar, and it burned with a bang, whether it was a ship or a person, as long as it was stained, without exception, it was on fire. Fire and water are ruthless, and the fear of fire in the surname instinct makes the pirates who were attacked panic, some slap hard, some jump into the sea, but no one thinks of getting up to chase Sun Shao. Even if a few lucky enough to escape the attack of the fire pot wanted to chase it, they sadly found that although they used their strength to eat, their own boat could not catch up with the arrogant behemoth.

Several pirate leaders rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating.

Sun Shao's building ship was like a sharp arrow, piercing the somewhat sparse pirate rear formation at an unbelievable speed, knocking over countless pirate ships, igniting, and then rushing to Zhou Qun's ship before Zhou Qun reacted, and with an order, two crossbow arrows, four or five feather arrows were all shot on Zhou Qun's ship, followed by a huge building ship crashing head-on, with a loud bang, Zhou Qun's boat was hit with a groan, half of the hull was cracked, and then pressed into the sea by the building boat.

Zhou Qun, who was looking up from behind, was dead of exhaustion when he resurfaced from the back of the ship, a giant crossbow pierced his body, and three feathered arrows were nailed to his body—two in his chest and one in his throat. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the blue sky, the sky was cloudless, as clean as the sea, but he couldn't see it, his eyes were empty and puzzled, he really couldn't understand why the building boat could be faster than the boat?

Sun Shao, who successfully implemented the decapitation tactic, saw Zhou Qun's corpse from the clairvoyant, and saw the Zhou Qun's warship, which was already facing the sky, so he smiled with satisfaction and handed the clairvoyant to Wei Ping's hand. Wei Ping was shocked and inexplicably shocked, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. There are too many things that surprised him today, but what surprised him the most was the result in front of him, a building ship broke into the enemy formation at an unheard-of speed, killed the opponent's main general in a battle, and then left unscathed, what kind of record is this? He thought about it, only the battle in which Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang that Su Thick Leg had mentioned to him many times could be compared, and Guan Yu was the father-in-law of the smiling young man in front of him.

No wonder Guan Yu, who was empty-eyed, would refuse Sun Quan's proposal, but marry his daughter to him.

Wei Ping sighed with emotion.

"Zhou Qun is dead, the pirates have suffered another heavy blow, and General Su has a lot less resistance to unify the East China Sea." Sun Shao said as he opened his bow and shot a pirate fifty paces away, and then stretched out his hand in the air, grabbed a sharp arrow from the pirate, put on the bowstring with his hand, and shot the pirate whose tongue had not been withdrawn with his backhand.

Wei Ping was stunned by what he saw, and forgot to answer Sun Shao's words, until Sun Shao turned around and looked at him with surprised eyes, he swallowed his saliva and raised his thumb: "General, it's really a god." ”

"God what?" Sun Shao sneered, "It's that kid's arm strength is too weak, it's only eighty steps, and the arrow is like floating, and it's boring." ”

Wei Ping smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, do you think that everyone is like you can open a three-stone bow, and one hundred and fifty steps away is not in vain. Along the way, Sun Shao shot at least ten pirates, and the arrow in Zhou Qun's throat was his masterpiece. Wei Ping was glad that Su Thick Leg was not moved this time, otherwise, Zhou Qun's fate might be his fate.

"With the general here, what is the trouble of pirates in the East China Sea." Wei Ping's mouth was a little bitter.

"Me?" Sun Shao put away his bow, the ship had already rushed out of the pirate's position, and the sailors' physical strength was not enough to support another charge, besides, the task of decapitation had been completed, and it was time for Yue Hai to come out and fight the water dogs. He pulled Wei Ping to the flying house, looked into Wei Ping's eyes, and didn't say a word. Wei Ping was a little furious by him, and he couldn't help but be respectful.

"What does the general command?"

"You're a smart guy, I don't need to say too much." The corners of Sun Shao's mouth twitched, "You go back to your General Su immediately, you tell him, I am waiting for the good news of his unification of the East China Sea." ”

Wei Ping frowned: "Although the pirates returned in vain this time, the damage was not small, but it was ......"

"Nothing." Sun Shao stopped Wei Ping and said indifferently: "If he listens to me, this East China Sea will be his in the future, if he can't do it, then don't blame me." ”

Wei Ping gasped, he heard the unspoken threat from Sun Shao's words, and the words he wanted to explain were suddenly forced back, he hesitated for a moment, and bowed: "Huh." ”

"Go ahead." Sun Shao nodded with satisfaction, and when Wei Ping walked to the side of the boat, he added: "Later, I will send someone to send a boat to you, seeing the ship, I believe that all the questions will be answered." ”

Wei Ping held on to the side of the boat, turned his head to look at Sun Shao a little, groaned slightly, nodded, got off the boat without saying a word, got on an ownerless boat, and left. Looking at Wei Ping's smaller and smaller back, the corners of Sun Shao's eyes jumped, revealing a sinister smile.

At the mouth of the waterway, Sun Shangxiang, who received Sun Shao's signal, was excited, and she ordered someone to tell Yue Hai the news that Sun Shao had killed the thief leader. The pirates were dazed by the sharp attack on the ship, and they asked Zhou Qun for instructions but never got a reply, they were already cowardly, and now the sailors rushed out again, and their morale collapsed at once, and they could no longer think of the wealth on the merchant ship, so they turned the bow of the ship and ran. Yue Hai chased after him, but unfortunately his speed could not catch up with the pirates, as soon as he came out of the waterway and came to the wide water, he could only look at the water and sigh, so he had to turn around and surround the pirates who did not have time to escape. Looking at those pirates who were scurrying around the sea, they were happy to cross the sea, this time, there were at least 300 pirate ships of all sizes, and at least 2,000 people were captured, not counting the wooden planks in the water. If you add in the ships that have already been sunk and the pirates who have been killed, this number is even more impressive.

Yue Hai knew who he should be most grateful for, and as soon as he saw Sun Shao, he greeted him with a smile on his face: "General Tianwei, it really deserves its reputation." ”

Sun Shao took his hand and dragged him to the flying house, with a bitter expression on his face: "General Yue, do you want to help me, or do you want to harm me?" ”

Yue Hai raised his eyebrows: "General, what are these words?" How can I harm you. ”

"In that case, then please don't mention me when General Yue reports his merits." Sun Shao said earnestly: "The reason here, you know. ”
