Chapter 174: Sun Jian's Death
Three warships rushed out from the other side of Da Hyeon, heading at full speed towards the broken ship.
On the way closer, the ship's bed crossbow and stone thrower installed on the warship had been used one after another, if it weren't for the extremely solid building ship chosen by Sun Jian, I am afraid that it would have disintegrated.
Even so, the structure on the building was largely shattered, and the hull was tilted slightly, apparently broken by crossbow arrows or boulders, causing the hull to begin to flood.
However, fortunately, under the burst of potential of the crew, with the help of the sails hanging from the masts of the other two ships, the horizontal ship has been set aboard and approached the shore away from Da Hyeon.
"Damn, there are thieves ambushed here, aren't you afraid of Liu Jingzhou's anger?" Dodging the crossbow arrows and boulders shot by the opposing warship, Sun Ce guarded Sun Jian's side and said angrily.
"Liu Biao's anger? Hehe!!! Sun Jian couldn't help but sneer when he heard Sun Ce's angry words.
"Father?" Sun Ce was puzzled when he heard this, and before he could think about it, Chen Pu, who was finishing organizing the soldiers, spoke.
"Young master, Da Xian Mountain is located in Xiangyang, which is the place where Jingzhou is governed, there is a little wind and grass, how can you hide it from Liu Biao's ears and eyes, and now these thieves can hide soldiers in Da Xian Mountain and ambush them, how can Liu Biao not know, but ignore it, what else do you say?"
"What does the general mean, this gang of thieves is Liu Biao's subordinates at all? How could it be, although our Changsha County is somewhat independent of Jingzhou, but to him Liu Biao, at least on the surface, he still respects and obeys, and the two sides have no grievances, so why is this so? Could it be that the matter of the jade seal of the country has been exposed? ”
Regarding Liu Biao's sudden reversal, Sun Ce could only think of such a reason.
"No matter what the reason is that Liu Biao turned against us, since the feud has been settled, he will be rewarded one day!" Sun Jian stared at the warship that was getting closer and closer, killing with intent.
It didn't take long for the warship to finally come up, and after careful calculation, the distance between the two sides was only a stone's throw away, and the encounter between the two sides was inevitable.
But fortunately, the damaged building ship has sailed to the shore less than 100 meters away under the potential explosion of the surviving boatmen, and the hope of escape is in front of them, and the boatmen are working harder to control the broken building boat to the shore, and the task of Sun Jian and others is to drag the distance of 100 meters, as long as the building boat docks and lets them hide in the mountains and forests, then this catastrophe is over.
Seeing that the enemy warship was approaching, less than a stone's throw away, Han Dang took the lead, bent his bow and arrows, and wound up three arrows, under his extraordinary divine power, like teleportation, appeared on the opposite warship, nailed to the head of a naval general who was about to command the archers to participate in the battle and the two soldiers beside him.
Even after shooting the enemy's skull, the powerful force on the arrow still had the strength to fly, sending the three of them flying and crashing directly into the ranks of archers who were just about to shoot arrows, causing a commotion in the ranks of archers.
At the beginning of Han Dang, except for a few soldiers who protected Sun Jian, the others on the building boat, under the command of Chen Pu, took out their bows and arrows and shot at the enemy on the opposite side.
Even without Han Dang's archery skills, when the opposite side was in chaos, after a wave of arrows, it still caused the opposite side to pay more than 20 casualties.
Because Chen Pu was in command of the battle, Huang Gai was like Han Dang and could attack freely. Seeing Han Dang's three arrows firing at once, various targets caused the other side to be disrupted, and immediately shouted loudly: "Yigong is good at archery!" Huang thinks that his archery skills are not bad, but he is not as good as the arrow of Yigong. ”
Huang Gai said this, but his hand did not stop, bending the bow and arrows, not like Han Dang, several arrows were fired together, just one arrow, as soon as his hand was loosened, the arrow had disappeared in front of him.
Looking up at the opposite side, I saw that the military flag that had been hanging from the flagpole of the warship fell down after an arrow suddenly appeared on the flagpole, and it was obvious that the rope of the hanging flag was broken by this arrow.
The two or three meter-sized military flag, under the gravity of the log pole at one end, did not have the slightest meaning of floating in the air, and fell on the warship, so that the herald who was originally standing under the flagpole pulled for a while before coming out of the military flag.
"Gongfu, your archery skills are no worse than mine, and in terms of accuracy, I am not comparable." When Han Dang saw Huang Gai's arrow, he was also amazed, and the archery skills of the two of them could be described as equal.
However, this is not the time for a competition, the two of them fired their bows and arrows one after another, and all of them were hit, which frightened the soldiers on the opposite warship into horror, and kept staring at the two of them, dodging from time to time, lest they become the next target, greatly reducing the frequency and efficiency of attacks.
In such a battle situation, Sun Jian and his entourage, after losing more than 30 people, finally leaned on the shore, and the hope of life had opened its arms to everyone on the ship.
At this time, the shipwright guards to which the building ship belongs, where is there any distinction between respect and inferiority, and what Venerable knows first, rushing down the building boat and running to the mountains and forests on the shore, for a while, the building ship is also in chaos.
However, because of a slight delay for a while, the warship was only twenty or thirty meters from the shore, coupled with the condescending terrain, so that the archers on the ship were slightly less afraid of Han Dang and Huang Gai, and for a while, the attack suddenly increased, and Sun Jian and his party could only dodge while fighting back, and then took advantage of the situation to flee to the mountains and forests.
After fighting and retreating like this, Sun Jian and his entourage finally fled into the mountains and forests after losing forty or fifty people again. Under the cover of the jungle, he finally escaped the bright arrows on the warship behind him.
Looking at the people who were still following him, Sun Jian felt a great pain in his heart, the three hundred pro-soldier elites who originally followed him on the ship, at this time, there were only about thirty people left, and most of them died to protect themselves.
Sun Jian really didn't want to accept such a result, he hated that he couldn't be arranged by himself to return by land The large army appeared in front of him, killed all the enemies who would attack in the future, rushed into Xiangyang, killed Liu Biao, and avenged these elites who protected him.
However, Sun Jian was not an ordinary person after all, so he quickly suppressed his hatred and looked back at the river, although he couldn't see anything, he seemed to see Liu Biao's proud look, and swore hatefully: "Liu Biao's old man, this revenge will not be avenged, and I, Sun Jian, will not be a man!" ”
After speaking, he looked at his subordinates, restrained his expressions, and ordered: "Let's go, rush back to Changsha as soon as possible." ”
The group quickly disappeared in place, and it seemed that they were really safe.
"Ahh
"Father!"
"Lord!"
Suddenly, the mountain forest, which had just fallen into silence, was once again broken by the sudden screams and wails, startling the birds, and the originally safe mountain forest was once again full of unknowns.
