The Jicheng fleet was divided into two groups, and a fleet of thirty ships entered Zhoushui as a daredevil's fleet to intercept the Zhoushui fleet. Thus covering the passage of another fleet of 170 ships through the junction and continuing to the mouth of the sea, occupying a piece of territory and building a military base.

After the Zhoushui fleet learned of the situation, it also began to take action. More than 40 military assault boats carrying flammable materials sailed quickly towards the intersection, just in time to meet the 30 "daring ships" of the Jicheng fleet.

These assault boats are all operated by rogue players, and there are about three or five players in each boat, one holding a torch, and the rest are rowing desperately. They shouted excitedly and rowed hard. If you listen carefully, you can vaguely hear them cheering, "Grilled fish~, such a big fish, you must grill the whole fish today!" ”

The thirty daring ships of the Jicheng fleet suddenly became nervous when they saw the numerous boats surrounding them.

"Quick, all archers on deck! Aim, don't let them get close, don't let the arrow go first!

If the opponent attacks, fight back immediately! "Although these ships are merchant ships, they can carry dozens of archers on their decks for long-range shooting, and they are not defenseless.

This fleet of daring ships is led by one of the Big Five, Beiming.

The task of the daredevil's fleet is mainly to delay time, not to fight. The longer it dragged on, the better, so that the Zhou Fleet could not pursue their other main fleet.

Beiming shouted loudly, directing the death fleet to meet the assault boats. The flag-bearers on the ship waved their flags and commanded thirty ships to line up in formation, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner.

The assault boats were very fast, and they were smooth. Soon rushed to a distance of only a hundred meters from the daring fleet. The bandit leader threw the torch in the middle of the boat, lit the firewood and straw on the boat, and the fire burst out. Seeing this, the bandit players of the remaining thirty boats also lit fires one after another. The fire burned, and the boat's durability began to decline rapidly. But the bandit players didn't jump into the water at all, and still controlled the fire boat at the head of the boat, slamming into the daredevils fleet in Jicheng.

The bandit leader's eyes were fierce, and a command ship appeared from more than thirty cabin ships at a glance, and he pointed at the command ship and roared loudly, "Hit the command ship in the middle." Don't let that ship run away! Several of the surrounding fireboats heard the roar of the territory and approached closer. All sides crashed into the ship.

The NPC archers on the more than thirty daring fleets saw a large number of fire boats crashing into them.

Screaming in horror. The fire boat quickly approached the fleet, and when it was close to thirty or forty meters, it was within range of the archers, and the bandit players jumped into the water with a flutter, allowing the fire boat to crash into the ship on its own.

Bei Ming stood in the middle of the command ship, his eyes were red, and he roared hoarsely. "Each ship avoids the fire boat on its own. Don't bump into it! ”

He wasn't done yet.

Rumble! A sound came, overpowering his roar.

The command ship was hit head-on by a fireboat. The fire boat shattered, bursting into a burst of dazzling sparks, and flames burst up the ship's armor. More than a dozen NPC archers were burned by the fire, -27HP, 13HP, -17HP. The flames brought damage over time, and the NPCs screamed and ran around the ship in terror, trying to extinguish the fire. They were on the ground with flames, and they put the others on them; Rumble!

The side of the command ship was hit again, and flames burst up from the flanks, burning more than a dozen archers again, and the hull of the ship shook noticeably. Beiming shook and almost fell, but stabilized his heel and yelled: "Don't panic, put out the fire, put out the fire immediately!" Running around, chopping, pushing off the boat! ”

Then two more fire boats rushed in, smashing the flanks of the command ship out of the hole, and the entire command ship fell into a sea of fire in an instant, and there were people everywhere who jumped into the sea to survive by the fire; Seeing that the fire was too big to extinguish, several players nearby shouted loudly to let Beiming leave.

Seeing that the archers were dead, and the whole ship was burning, Bei Ying knew that it was irretrievable, so he immediately took several of his players to jump ship and swim towards the other intact ships.

A series of rumbling crashes sounded on the water.

Except for the command ship, which was destroyed by several fireboats at the same time, most of the other ships were hit by a single fireboat. The unlucky ones were burned by the fire boat. Fortunately, the flames were quickly extinguished, and some ships even escaped the collision of the fire boats in time.

At the end of the first wave of fire boat attacks, among the thirty daring ships, about five ships that rushed to the front gradually burned and sank in the flames, more than a dozen of them were attacked by different degrees of impact and flames, and the last dozen or so ships lost only a few archers.

The formation of the entire fleet of daring ships has been disorganized, especially the sinking of the command ship in the middle, which has dealt a serious blow to the morale of the entire fleet. Bei Ming and the other players swam onto another cabin ship and continued to command.

After dozens of bandit players dived, they caught an NPC soldier who had fallen into the water in the Jicheng fleet, captured him alive and sent him to the ship of the Zhoushui fleet.

The player of the Zhoushui Alliance stuffed a bronze sword into the NPC soldier in fright, and swung the knife towards the player of the Zhoushui Alliance, but the player did not dodge, "13HP!" A stream of health floated up. Subsequently, the NPC soldiers were recaptured and imprisoned as prisoners.

Qin Xiaobai, Qianli Bu Xing and the others laughed together. The soldiers of the Jicheng fleet attacked the soldiers of the Zhoushui fleet first, and it has been recorded by the system, so the Zhoushui fleet can start to fight back legally without worrying about any compensation issues!

The Fireboat Attack has just ended.

The fifty light fighting ships of the Zhou Shui fleet have quickly approached this daring fleet. Each battleship carried 50 halberd soldiers and 150 archers, deployed in the women's walls and buildings, and the archers fired from the archery holes. There are also four sets of giant crossbows, which have already been erected.

Standing on the flagship, they commanded the fighting ships to attack in a crane formation, encircling and suppressing the remaining twenty or so ships of the daredevil's fleet.

The daredevil's fleet was completely surrounded by fighting ships. The players of the death fleet knew that today was probably inevitable and the whole army would be annihilated, and under the leadership of Beiming, the remaining twenty or so cabin ships began to gather and slowly retreat. Even at this time, Beiming still did not forget his task - to delay time. Only by fighting and retreating can we buy more time for the main fleet to go to the sea.

The battleship's giant crossbow was shot at a distance of about 100 meters, smashing holes into the hull of the cabin ship, draining the ship's durability. The durability was reduced to its limit, and it shattered completely with a thud, and hundreds of NPCs and players on the entire boat all fell into the water, struggling in the river.

The flotilla continued to advance, about 50 meters away, into the range of arrows from both sides. The two sides began to shoot arrows at close range, "Shoot-!" "An overwhelming array of arrows crossed the sky and landed on the opposing ship.

The gap between the cabin ship and the fighting ship was vividly expressed at this moment.

The dozens of arrows fired by the cabin ship were almost all blocked by the female wall on the fighting ship, and a very small number of NPCs were shot. However, more than 100 ordinary arrows and dozens of rockets shot out by the fighting ship all covered the deck of the cabin ship, and a round of attacks suppressed dozens of archers on the cabin ship to death, causing continuous damage from the flames, and the NPC archers screamed and ran, stumbling and falling into the water.

Each side fired a salvo, and more than 20 NPCs on the deck of the cabin were sent to the cabin, and the soldiers in reserve in the cabin were transferred to the deck to continue the battle. And there are only a few of the fifty fighting ships of the Zhoushui Alliance; Beiming was shocked, why was the fighting ship so powerful! If you go on like this, you won't need a few rounds of attacks, and you will be completely annihilated. Boom, several more cabin ships were destroyed and slowly sank. In the death fleet, there were less than twenty cabin ships left, and the non-commissioned officers on board suffered heavy casualties.

It is not a way to go on like this, and it is impossible to delay the Zhoushui fleet at all, but to sacrifice these twenty ships in vain. Beiming gritted his teeth, "Withdraw, immediately withdraw from Zhoushui and retreat to the Jihe River!" ”。 The player next to him listened and began to wave the flag, directing the ships to retreat and return fire with arrows.

But if you want to retreat, it's not so easy. The ships on both sides were already too close to each other to immediately distance themselves. The battle continued, and the entire water was filled with the sound of fighting, even crashing.

Some of the cabin ships wanted to turn around, while others were still resisting in front, and the ships on the water were in chaos.

More than twenty minutes later, the water battle ended. Only seven or eight cabin boats remained in the Jicheng death fleet, and they fled to the Jihe River and rowed in the direction of Jicheng upstream. The remaining dozen ships were captured or sunk because they stayed in place to block the Zhou Shui fleet.

Hundreds of NPC corpses, broken planks, and the wreckage of burned ships floated across the water. The cargo on board the cabin ship also sank into the water. The Zhou Water Fleet began to clean up the battlefield, recover the still usable cabin ships, and capture the nbsp who fell into the water and did not die; Zhoushui fleet, flagship.

The leaders were smiling. The light fighting ships swept through the opponent's cabin ships in one fell swoop in the first battle, and their combat effectiveness was obviously quite satisfactory to them. Combat ships, against non-combat ships, have an unrivaled advantage in water warfare. This gives them enough confidence.

Qin Xiaobai pointed to the map and said with a smile: "The thirty daredevils in Jicheng have stopped us for about half an hour, and the rest of their main fleet has all passed through the junction and traveled more than ten miles downstream. Our fleet continues to pursue, don't be in a hurry, go slowly! ”
