Chapter 67: Naval Battle
A small boat observing outside the waterway had already come out to report, and Zhang Fan and they also received the news. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Prepare for battle." Zhang Fan ordered, and all the soldiers were on standby.
The ships that went to lure the enemy were miserable, although they ran ahead, but the distance was not very far, and the crossbow arrows of the two large ships in the bow of the enemy's ship could be attacked.
"Bang~"
A crossbow arrow shot out, and it was directly inserted into the ship, directly piercing the ship, and the thick crossbow arrow vibrated on the side of the ship.
What if this hits someone?
Definitely wear a transparent hole.
"Oh oh oh~"
Those pirates were chasing and shouting, so excited that they didn't know what they were excited about, because of the war?
The front struggled to escape, and the pirates behind attacked while chasing, and the crossbow arrows were powerful, but fortunately, the preparation was not accurate, but the rate of fire was not fast, and it took about two or three minutes to fire once.
Along the way, more than a dozen crossbow arrows were fired, and one of them hit the side of the ship, penetrating the side of the ship without hurting anyone, and a few pierced the canvas above, which did not cause much impact, and more were shot into the sea.
Although it didn't hurt anyone, it also caused a lot of panic to the soldiers on the ship, because the crossbow arrow was so powerful that it could hit the side of the ship.
The fleet broke out of the narrow channel and into the relatively wide sea, but the flotilla that lured the enemy did not stop and continued to sail into the vast sea.
"Surround them." Seeing that the pirates had come out, Zhang Fan immediately ordered the hidden fleet to set off and follow from the rear.
At first, the pirates did not detect the rear fleet, because they were only interested in chasing the front fleet, and no one was watching the rear.
"King, we are ambushed, and there are ships behind us." A deserted pirate wanted to relax in the back, only to see a flotilla hanging behind them not far away.
"What! Dare to ambush the king. The big man pinned the big knife in his hand behind his back, and then grabbed the person who told the news with one hand and shouted.
The big man, the pirate leader, let go of the little minions, and then roared, "Stop the ship, and teach me a good lesson to these rabbits, and let them know how powerful this king is." ”
Following the order of the pirate leader, the pirates began to stop their ships, and some began to turn their bows in order to attack the fleet in the rear.
"Speed up and rush up, and attack me while they are not in formation." Zhang Fan saw that the pirate ship began to slow down, and knew that he had been discovered, but they had already formed an encirclement, and two big ships on the left and right killed them together.
The pirate ship was changing formation, and some of them began to turn around, and the fleet that lured the enemy in front noticed the situation and also stopped, preparing to turn around and attack.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
The pirates turned around and fell halfway, Zhang Fan and the fleet had already been killed, and immediately, the archers began to shoot, and the arrows were fired at the enemy.
Archery at sea is not as stable as on land, because the waves are rippling, and the shot is often missed.
However, after a round of arrows, there were also a few unlucky ghosts who were hit by arrows, and some were even shot directly into the sea to feed the fish.
Zhang Fan also took out a bow and arrow, aimed at a pirate, and then shot, but when he shot the arrow, the boat swayed back and forth, and finally he didn't know where to shoot.
"Quick, shoot back, shoot back." The pirate leader was furious when he saw that the other party was the first to attack them, and ordered his men to start firing back.
The arrows flew towards Zhang Fan and them like locusts, these pirates really had two hits, and the quasi-head was much more accurate than Zhang Fan, although they were a lot more accurate, but this round did not cause much damage to Zhang Fan, the difference was that Zhang Fan and they shot a lot into the sea, and the pirates shot to the ship.
The two armies began to fight fiercely, and the ships of both sides kept coming closer.
The pirate ship completed its turn, but they withstood more than a dozen rounds of arrow attacks from Zhang Fan and them, killing and wounding nearly 100 people.
"Quick, shoot the bolts, shoot them." The pirate leader shouted angrily, his ship was turning around, and the soldiers were very inconvenient to attack, and could only withstand the enemy's attack, and now that the turn was complete, of course, it was time for them to counterattack.
The pirates' counterattack was very sharp, and when a wave of arrows rained down, several of them were shot and killed, and this was because Zhang Fan wore armor, and some of them had shields.
Looking at the pirates, there is no other protection except for single clothes, but at present, Zhang Fan's advantage is not obvious.
"Woohoo!"
The bow of the pirate ship fires a crossbow, one of which hits the side of the ship, digging a large hole in the ship, but the attack is above the water, and the damage is not great.
Another arrow missed, but it passed by the soldiers of Wanghai Village, and the thick crossbow arrow, which brought the sound of the whirring wind, frightened the man to the ship.
There was no smoke of gunpowder, but there were bursts of shouting and killing, arrows came and went, and from time to time someone fell down with arrows, and the air gradually began to fill the air with the smell of blood.
"Village chief, their boat has come over." A soldier shouted.
Zhang Fan hurriedly went to the side of the ship to take a look, and sure enough, the pirate's ship was already a few meters away from their big ship.
"Come on some archers, shoot me."
The archers of Wanghai Village arrived at the side of the ship and prepared to attack, but the enemy in the small boat seemed to have been prepared, and when they reached the side of the ship, the other party took the lead in attacking, killing and wounding several of them at once, and the remaining archers had to quickly retreat.
Zhang Fan thought that there were archers attacking them, and they couldn't get close, but they didn't expect to be repulsed in one shot.
"Whoever has a shield, come with a few shields, and the archers will attack from behind." Zhang Fan shouted and re-commanded a few people to come over and attack.
Several soldiers with shields came, but they were too late, and the pirates had already reached the bottom of the ship and began to throw ropes, which had barbs, and they were going to climb up.
"Go up and cut the rope." Zhang Fan screamed and hurriedly stepped forward to cut these ropes.
"Woohoo."
As soon as Zhang Fan approached, several arrows shot at him, and he had to quickly retreat, and several soldiers who couldn't retreat were suddenly shot to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
It turned out that another small boat had approached, and most importantly a large ship of the pirates had also approached and fired arrows at them.
"Nima." Zhang Fan scolded secretly, but there was no way, it was difficult for him to get close to the side of the ship now, because there was a small boat underneath to respond, and there was a big ship in the distance to support him.
Zhang Fan found that their big ships were still getting closer to them, and the pirates' accuracy was getting more and more accurate, and of course, Zhang Fan's attack accuracy had also improved.
Although the pirates were in a weak position, they attacked in a very orderly manner, and Zhang Fan had the advantage of ships and troops, but they made a mess.
