Chapter 256: Collision with the ship
There was a-for-tat confrontation on the water, and there was a fierce fight underwater, and the masked men on the centipede boat noticed something strange underwater, and also sent some assassins who were good at water to dive underwater. It is not easy to open a bow and draw arrows underwater, and dozens of people are fighting each other in close combat under the water, strangled together.
After all, most of these water ghosts under Li Dang's command came out of the Forbidden Army's sailor class, and they were like fish in water under the water one by one, and they quickly killed those black-clothed people with broken arms and hands, and their corpses drifted on the water. Several water spirits had already touched the bottom of the centipede boat and began to dig holes in the plank.
"Bell!"
At the risk of revealing their location, the water spirits began to axe and chisel and slash at the plank.
The centipede ship began to shake slightly, and one of the leading black-clothed men at the bow of the ship was startled, and hurriedly ordered to shoot arrows with all his strength at the whirlpool.
The sound of "whooshing" arrows sounded, and the long arrows as dense as hail shot into the water, and after a while, a few words appeared on the surface of the water, and the body of the water ghost covered with arrows appeared on the water.
Li Dang stood on the sampan, he used the binoculars in his hand to see everything that happened near the centipede ship, he turned around and said to the two forbidden soldiers on the sampan beside him: "Cut off a few decks on the ship, stand on the bow of the ship as a shield, and follow me to march towards the centipede ship at full speed." He knew that only by attacking the centipede boat on the surface could the pressure under the surface be relieved.
When the forbidden soldiers saw Li Dang standing on the bow of the ship, they all stood up and responded, and soon, three sampans sailed towards the centipede boat like arrows.
The archers on the centipede ship saw several sampans coming, and their faces showed disdainful expressions, in their opinion, their centipede ships were more than ten times larger than these sampans, and the personnel on them were also more than ten times larger.
The centipede ship was getting closer and closer, and Li Kang did not let the sampan attack the centipede ship directly, he asked the soldiers to carry the deck. Standing on the side of the sampan boat, braving the rain of arrows, it sped directly past the side of the centipede boat and rowed in the direction of the upstream.
At this time, a sharp-eyed man in black saw Li Kang standing on the bow of the boat with a red tasseled spear, and he exclaimed loudly: "Then Li Kang is on the sampan just now, quickly adjust the bow of the boat, step up the oars, don't let Li Kang's kid run away." ”
The scream was very loud, and Li dared to hear it in his ears. I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
I am happy because since the target of these assassins is myself, then Xu Xian'er and Cai Bian should be safe with them, and the sad thing is that I still don't know who I have offended, so he makes a big deal against him.
Willing to pay a large shipwreck worth thousands of yuan, and can gather so many manpower, and dare to attack the Liao envoys, this enemy is not ordinary!
The Centipede ship had a large hull and finally turned around. only to find that Li Kang's sampan boats had sailed away from a stone's throw away.
"Quick, catch up! Catch Li Dare and get a prize! A man in black who took the lead shouted, and he had a red scarf tied around his neck, suggesting that his identity was different from that of other men in black.
Those dozens of oars paddled neatly. Paddle upstream. Because it was going upstream, the speed of the centipede boat was much slower than when it was going down the river just now, and the second group of water ghosts who were potentially underwater faintly saw an opportunity. They began to creep their way to the bottom of the centipede ship under the cover of their companion's corpse.
Cai Bian hid behind the car and boat, and he saw the centipede boat following Li Kang's sampan. Knowing that it was a very good opportunity to escape now, he knew that even if he fled now, it was estimated that the men in black would not come to chase him, because the situation was already very clear, and these men in black were coming for Li Dang.
Xu Xian'er looked anxiously at the centipede boat on the water, and clenched the sampan boat in the water. She looked back at Cai Bian and said, "Cai Gong, don't attack yet!" ”
"Sortie?" Cai Bian shook his head, how could his sampan boats fight with this centipede boat, but he still ordered three sampans to follow closely behind the centipede boat, waiting for the opportunity to move.
Although the hull is much larger, the centipede ship has a lot of wood pulp and enough power after all, and it quickly caught up with a distance.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The man in black who took the lead shouted when he saw that Li Kang's three sampans were already within range of his archers.
"Tuk Tuk!"
With the sound of a woodpecker peeling a tree, the bows and arrows from the centipede ship all shot at the decks held high by Li Kang's soldiers.
"Get close to the sampan, look for an opportunity, and kill Li Kang in one fell swoop!" The man in red and black began to call the shots again.
When the boat arrived at a relatively narrow part of the river, the man in red and black was surprised to find that Li Kang's three sampans had turned their bows and lined up in zigzags, waiting for their centipede boats on the water.
"I don't know what I can do!" The man in red scarf and black sneered, and he shouted loudly: "Rush forward, kill Li Kang, there will be a reward!" ”
Dozens of oars noticeably increased their speed, stirring up splashes and rushing towards the three sampans. The centipede boat lurked several water ghosts under Li Kang's men, because the ship was moving at high speed, they were clinging to the hull, and they had to find ways to probe out from time to time to ventilate, and they couldn't scuttle this centipede ship at all.
Seeing the centipede ship rushing towards him, a cold smile also appeared on the corner of Li Kang's mouth. With success or failure in this move, he knew he had to entangle the centipede ship and give the underwater water ghosts a chance to scuttle it.
Li Dang slowly raised his hand, and the three sampans were ordered to go down the river, just like a crossbow off the string, shooting towards the centipede boat.
"Quick, get out of the way of these sampans!" The man in red scarf and black did not expect that Li Dang would use this method of hitting the ship to die with him, and hurriedly ordered to slow down the pace of progress.
"Knock knock!"
As soon as the speed of the centipede ship slowed down, the water spirits below the ship began to chisel the ship with their axes.
The men in black had no time to take care of the bottom of the ship, and Li Kang's three sampans were getting closer and closer. Although the Centipede ship had a large hull, they knew that if it was hit by the three sampans at such a rapid speed, it would not disintegrate, but it would inevitably suffer heavy damage and would probably sink into the water.
"Quick! Retreat! The man in red and black saw that the water was narrow and he couldn't avoid Li Kang's sampan, so he had to give the order again, but this time because he saw Li Kang's sampan a few feet away, he was no longer as calm and idle as before, and he said anxiously: "Quick, turn the rudder quickly." ”
On this narrow water, where can the centipede boat easily turn around, the ship just turned over, and a sampan boat that burst forward made a loud "bang" and hit the centipede boat. (To be continued......)
