Chapter 297: The Battle of the Harbor (Part II)
At the same time as Ku Niang jumped up with Xu Zun, the huge mast that was burning with raging fire had already fallen with a bang, knocking down the wooden plank they were standing on just now and falling directly into the sea......
Since Ku Niang jumped up halfway, no matter how unnatural her jumping ability was, it was impossible for her to jump onto the side of the boat.
The two of them crossed a parabola in the air and crashed into the side of the warship.
As a result, something unbelievable happened to everyone, when Ku Niang and Xu Zun were about to hit the side of the ship, Ku Niang's five fingers were separated, and a single palm was struck, and the five fingers actually penetrated the plank of the ship's side with a pop, making the two of them hang on the side of the ship!!
Due to the impact force, Ku Niang's hat also fell off immediately, revealing her true face.
Suddenly, the air seemed to freeze, and no one had ever seen such a scene against the sky.
The side of the ship is made of hard wood, or at least a human finger, even if it is hammered with a hammer, it may not be able to wedge into the side of the ship!
This...... Is this still human?
"No...... Wouldn't it......" Han Fei'er was even more shocked, looking at the bitter lady below and muttering, "Is this Nizi a descendant of the Blood Demon Sect?" ”
"Mao Jifang's disciple?" Xiao Zhennan was also dumbfounded, and was shocked again.
The husband and wife have walked the rivers and lakes for decades, and they have seen many masters, but it is the first time they have seen such an outrageous one.
What's more, this is still a young girl?
However, everyone was surprised, but the pirates didn't know it, and slashed at the couple again.
The husband and wife could no longer care about the shock in their hearts, and hurriedly waved their weapons to meet the enemy......
"Quick!"
Only then did Zhao Yu and Ani and the others react, and hurriedly found a rope to hang down, and dragged Kuniang and Xu Zun to the deck.
As a result, except for Hou Zhen and Li Xing, the other guards all took a step back involuntarily, as if they were frightened by the powerful aura of Ku Niang.
By this moment, the huge ship had already moved away from the docks, as the pirates had lowered their sails, retracted their anchors, and cut the ropes that tethered the ships.
However, with no one at the helm, the bow of the ship tilted outwards and crashed into the first ship that was on fire next to it.
As the hull shook, everyone recovered from the shock and hurried to clear the few pirates left on the deck.
Rao is at this time, but Xu Zun did not forget to remind everyone: "Leave a few live mouths, and have something to ask when you turn back!" ”
The guards received the order and immediately pounced on the pirates.
There weren't many pirates left on the deck, and some people saw that the tide was gone, so they simply turned around and jumped out of the boat and into the sea.
"Who's going to sail?" Xu Zun asked loudly, "Go to the helm and drive out of the harbor quickly!" ”
"I'm coming!"
As soon as the words fell, he saw Xiao Zhennan rushing to the bow of the boat and going straight to the rudder.
This person has been crisscrossing the East China Sea for many years, and he is naturally skilled in driving.
Seeing someone at the helm, Xu Zun made time to come to the outside of the deck of the second warship.
To the south of the second ship, there was a third.
Since the third ship was located further away, the deck of the ship had already been occupied by the pirates.
But for some reason, although the third ship had lowered its sails and cut the ropes, the anchor had never been put away.
But seeing that more than a dozen pirates were gathering at the anchor winch, it seemed that they were discussing countermeasures, as if the winch was stuck by something.
"My lord," Zhao Yu saw something in Xu Zun's eyes and asked, "Are we going to snatch that one too!?"
"Let's ...... We don't seem to have enough manpower! ”
As Zhao Yu spoke, he found that countless sampans were rowed across the sea below, and the sampans were full of pirates holding kerosene bottles.
"Anuche!" Huo Anu was in a hurry, "Is this going to destroy this ship too?" ”
"Your Excellency...... My lord, it's not good, it's not good! Suddenly, Li Xing hurriedly ran over, pointed to the deck of the third warship, and said, "Look, look! ”
Everyone looked up, but they saw that the pirates on the third warship were actually loading the cannons!
There are also people who light torches, ready to light cannon fuses!
Worst!
Everyone was shocked, it was obvious that this was the pirates who were going to use their cannons to attack the ship they were on!
At such a close distance, as long as the cannon sounded, it was no less than a catastrophe, and everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
Shangguan Min raised his bow and arrows to aim, but found that the two warships were too far away and were beyond the range of the shot.
"Quick!" Zhao Yu was the first to react, "For today's plan, I can only hurry up and drive the boat out!" ”
"Wrong!" Xu Zun smiled coldly and said to everyone, "You all stand firm, don't fall!" ”
"What?" Everyone was puzzled, they didn't know why Xu Zun would say such a thing at such a life-and-death moment?
However, in the next second, they finally understood.
As several loud explosions came from under their feet, everyone was shaken to the point that they were unstable on their feet and almost fell down.
And in an instant, several shells shot out from the side of the ship under their feet, and the third warship in the distance!
Rumble......
In an instant, there was a loud roar on the sea, and the side of the third warship hit by the shell suddenly exploded.
Sawdust flew and the flames soared into the sky, and the soldiers who were about to open fire on the deck were also blown up one by one, and their corpses were flying around......
Zhao Yu got up from the deck and ran to the front of the boat to watch, only then did he understand what was happening.
It turned out that the ships they were on were equipped with cannons on the side of the ship, and those gun ports were usually hidden in the side of the ship, and the windows were open during the battle, so that they could fire directly at the enemy ship.
Xu Zun had already discovered this just now, and he was ready to sink the third warship in his heart.
Because, the third warship is also full of ammunition and weapons, and if it is driven out of the dock by the pirates, it will also have endless troubles.
Therefore, since you can't grab it, simply blow it up with a cannon so as not to be used by the enemy.
Zhao Yu looked down, but saw that there were three rows of cannon ports below, and at this moment it was only one layer open.
But seeing the light of several cannons looming, it was obvious that the fuses were ignited again.
Rumble......
The shells were fired again, all hitting the third ship with precision.
Soon, the hull of the third ship cracked, the mast collapsed, and it was completely destroyed, and the sailors on board were also burned to the fire.
At the same time, under Xiao Zhennan's helm, the second warship of Xu Zun and the others had already sailed out of the harbor, and took advantage of the low tide to speed towards the depths of the sea!
The pirates, who were rowing their sampans and preparing to throw kerosene bottles at the warship, were suddenly knocked over by the huge warship and rolled into the water like dumplings.
The guards on the deck did not dare to relax, and used their bows and arrows to shoot at the sampan, killing the pirates on the sampan.
Despite their large numbers and the throwing of some kerosene bottles, they no longer pose any threat.
When the ship was completely out of the harbor, everyone on board finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back, I saw that the entire naval dock was caught in a sea of fire, and under the firelight, countless pirates could be seen scattering and fleeing.
Looking further away, I saw that the Yongming Water City in the distance had been encroached upon by the pirates, and fires were burning everywhere, and I don't know how many ordinary people would die in this catastrophe......
"My lord," Zhao Yu came to Xu Zun and asked, "What should we do now?" Where to? ”
"My lord," at this time, the soldier ran over and suggested to Xu Zun, "A hundred miles south of here is Wuzhou Huanglong Port, there are soldiers there, let's go and transfer troops for help!" ”
"Humph!" Xu Zun snorted coldly and said, "I don't like overnight revenge, it's better to repay it in this world!" ”
"Huh? You ......" Zhao Yu suddenly understood what Xu Zun meant, and his expression was very surprised.
"You won't ......" Huo Anu was not slow to react, and suddenly looked at the sea in the distance, "Will there be a disparity in strength?" ”
"There is a huge disparity in strength," Xu Zun smiled coldly, "If there is a disparity in strength, they don't need to go to great lengths to grab the battle ship!" ”
"Yes, my lord is so right!" Suddenly, Xiao Zhennan, who was standing at the helm of the ship, raised his head and praised, "There is no better time than now!" ”
"Good!" With Xiao Zhennan's affirmation, Xu Zun became more confident, pointed to the little fire on the sea in the distance and said, "Let's kill it now, so that these people who dare to violate my Daxuan will not return!! ”
