Chapter 295: The Battle of the Harbor (I)
To be honest, Xu Zun was not surprised to see Xiao Zhennan and his wife appear on the deck.
Because after rushing into the dock before, Xu Zun saw the two of them jumping into the water.
According to Zhao Yu, these two people are perennial long-distance sea boats, and they are naturally water-based. They must have bypassed the side of the boat from the water and found the boat on the other side where there were fewer people.
But......
As for how Ku Niang got to the deck, Xu Zunke couldn't figure it out at all.
It's as if when he first entered the underground culvert of the holy capital, Ku Niang suddenly appeared behind him.
To Xu Zun, Ku Niang felt as if she would teleport.
However, Xu Zun's heart tightened at the same time, remembering what Yue Jinglei said to him, Ku Niang's serious injury has not healed, and it is not advisable to use internal force within a month, otherwise there will be worries about his life.
However, Ku Niang still made a move, I don't know how she is doing now?
I hope that to deal with these pirates, I won't let Ku Niang use internal force, right?
Everything was between the lightning and flint, and when they saw the gangway suddenly put down, the guards did not relax at all, but became more nervous.
Because to climb up to the deck, you need to climb the gangway.
By the same token, simply climbing the gangway exposes yourself to enemy muskets and crossbow arrows.
Therefore, they now desperately need a life-sacrificing assault to cover Xu Zun and the others on board.
Dai Long, nicknamed Desperate Saburo, immediately led a team of people to take the initiative to meet the front, and shouted: "If you are not afraid of death, come with me, and have a good time in these gourd bushes!" ”
With that, he jumped to his feet, slaughtered into the enemy camp alone, and used his sharp sword to slash wildly.
The guards behind were encouraged, and they also jumped into the sea thicket, focusing on those with bows and crossbows.
Suddenly, the battle on the dock entered a white heat, and the guards rushed into the enemy camp one by one.
Those who are strong in martial arts are better, but those who are slightly less skilled are quickly covered by the enemy's fishing nets, and then they are slashed and killed by random knives......
"My lord! Come on! Li Xing carried Ah Xiu Zai on his back and signaled to Xu Zun again and again, "Hurry up and board the ship, it's too late!" ”
Huo Anu immediately stretched out the iron umbrella and covered Xu Zun to climb the gangway.
That Shangguan Min was the first to climb up the deck along the gangway.
However, when he got on deck, he did not participate in the battle on the deck, but turned around and bent his bow and arrows, and shot at the enemy on the docks.
The bow and arrow seemed to have eyes, and the arrow almost hit the enemy......
Xu Zun was quite agile, and he also climbed onto the deck after him.
At a glance, the battle on the deck has almost been won, and there is no need for those big Xuan sailors, but the three of Xiao Zhennan, his wife and Ku Niang, are enough to kill those invading pirates.
As soon as Li Xing boarded the ship, he immediately led his guards to remove the hooks and ropes of the enemy, so that no one would climb the ropes.
And among the guards, whoever had crossbows or bows and arrows, quickly turned around and shot at the enemy below.
However, after all, they did not have many bows and arrows on them, and they quickly shot all the arrows, so they could only do it in a hurry.
"Old Dai!" Zhao Yu was so anxious that he shouted, "We're coming up, you guys should come up quickly!" ”
However, after Zhao Yu finished shouting, he couldn't see Dai Long anymore, because he had been overwhelmed by the large number of pirates who had poured over.
The rest of the guards were also in danger, but those who were closer to the ship's side fought and retreated, and began to climb the gangway.
However, as there were more and more pirates on the docks, there were still a lot of firebow bows and arrows shooting, and they had to turn around and face the docks, blocking the crossbow arrows as they crawled......
This will not work!
Xu Zun hurriedly called the soldiers on the deck over and asked, "Quick, is there kerosene on this deck?" ”
"What? Kerosene? The soldier shook his head.
"What about spirits?" Xu Zun asked, "Is there anything that can catch fire?" Otherwise...... he pointed to the cannon on the deck, "can this cannon be fired?" ”
"No, my lord," said the soldier, "this ship is not yet equipped with ammunition and supplies, and is preparing to load it tomorrow!"
"But......" the soldier remembered something, and quickly pointed to a certain place on the deck, "the bow and arrows have been loaded today, and we have just used a box that has been ......."
"Anuche!" Huo Anu yelled, "Only now? Hurry up and bring the bow and arrows! ”
Hearing the order, several soldiers hurried to the underside of the mast to get their bows and arrows.
Li Xing and the others were already so anxious that their eyes were red, and they immediately went up and cut the wooden box with a knife, and a large number of bows and arrows were suddenly sprinkled on the ground.
The guards were all overjoyed, and they went up to copy the guys, even Zhao Yu and Huo Anu were no exception.
The ancients were good at archery, especially the basic skill of these martial arts practitioners was archery.
Everyone hurriedly grabbed their bows and arrows and ran to the side of the ship, and began to shoot downward.
And Zhao Yu quickly discovered that many arrows in the bow and arrows were coated with sulfur and other substances, so he simply ignited the arrows and shot the rockets towards the dock.
A dozen of the guards were all good archers, and their bows and arrows hit the enemy with precision, forcing them to raise their shields again.
And under the cover of this rain of arrows, Dai Long and the others finally got rid of the enemy and retreated to the side of the ship.
And this time, they didn't need to climb the gangway again, because Li Xing and the others had already dropped the prepared ropes and pulled them up one by one......
When Dai Long went to the deck, he saw that he was covered in blood and scars, and his hair had already been cut off, and his hair was scattered, even tragically.
And in the eyes of the guards, they were all in awe and deep admiration.
Ani carried hemostatic medicine with her, and immediately stepped forward to treat Dai Long's wounds.
Xu Zun glanced at it, but saw that there were more than 30 guards before, but now there are only a dozen people left, which shows that the battle is fierce.
Fortunately, there were still sailors stationed on the ship, and they were about thirty or so left, and after removing the wounded, only fifty people could fight.
When the sailors saw that reinforcements were arriving, their morale was also boosted, and they each took up arms and scattered all over the deck to prevent any more pirates from boarding the ship.
Xu Zun looked in the direction of the beach, but saw that all the pirates on the beach were rushing towards the dock.
Obviously, if they can't take these warships today, they will definitely not give up.
Xu Zun knew very well in his heart that there were too many enemies, and if this momentum continued, they would definitely not be able to hold on to the arrival of reinforcements.
We have to think of a way to do it as soon as possible......
When observing, Xu Zun looked at the sea in the distance again, but saw that there were fires on the sea, and there were still a large number of pirates rowing towards the beach on sampans.
Oh my God, how many people are there!
Xu Zun couldn't help but be amazed, thinking back to what Xiao Zhennan said to himself, these people were not ordinary pirates, but soldiers from Izumo Kingdom!
With so many soldiers, it shouldn't be a national soldier, right?
Don't...... Are they just going to destroy these ships, or plunder the city of Eternal Ming? Are they reckless?
Swish......
Just as Xu Zun was thinking about countermeasures, someone below suddenly threw a black thing, and after the thing fell on the deck, it suddenly cracked and shattered, flowing out of a black pungent liquid.
This......
Immediately afterward, Dan saw a new group of pirates rushing in below, almost each holding a black bottle, and all of them hurled towards the deck with all their might.
Although Shangguan Min couldn't understand this operation, he still subconsciously shot the rocket at a certain Haikou who was throwing.
As a result, after the rocket hit the bottle in the man's hand, he saw that the Haikou suddenly ignited a flame!!
Yes......
The man instantly burned into a fireball, howled in pain, and finally jumped straight into the sea......
Broken!
Xu Zun and the others all understood it, and all they threw over was kerosene, which ...... This is to burn the ship!!
