0857 Water Battle
Then the two fleets came together! The formation of the tailless fish is a horizontal oval, and the center of the formation is the first to contact the opponent's fleet, so they all beat the hull of the boat horizontally, and leaned towards each other with oars! The boats on both wings continued down the river to outflank the other side's rear routes.
Now judging from the number of ships and the number of people, the tailless side has the absolute upper hand! And their ships are smaller and more flexible, which is perfect for such close-range water battles! So the ships that first came into contact quickly came together, and then the bandits threw their claws and grabbed the side of the transport, shouting loudly and began to climb upwards!
The sailors on the ship tried hard to cut through the endless flying grips, but there was a long stretch of iron at the front end of the flying claws, and they had to lean out of the side of the ship to cut off the flying claws! And when the bandits saw the sailors exposing their bodies, they would throw knives, axes and other weapons at them, so there were many sailors who were injured at one time!
Under the intense blows, the sailors had to abandon the idea of cutting off the claws and began to retreat to the deck. This made the water bandits even more proud, and they accelerated their climbing! For a time, the sides of more than 20 ships in front of the transport ship were full of climbing bandits!
But the sailors on deck did not give up their resistance, but prepared their spears and poked them down as soon as they showed their heads on the deck! Just as Zuo Liqiu was on the boat, there were already six or seven water bandits who were stabbed in the face with spears as soon as they showed up, screaming and falling into the river!
But there is not only one way for the bandits to board the boat, there are many brave bandits who are brave enough to grab the rope and swing directly from their own masts to the opposite boat! Although some people were poked to death just after falling on the deck and before they could stand firmly, there were still people who landed on the deck safely!
As soon as the bandits landed, they quickly rolled around to avoid the sailors' attacks, and then got up to fight with the sailors! Not to be outdone, the sailors gave up their spears one after another, drew their short knives and axes at their waists and fought with them!
Battles on the water are much more brutal than battles on land! Because the deck is generally narrow, the long guys can't use it, and the two sides are fighting with short weapons! And because it can't pierce armor on water, as long as it is scratched by a weapon, it will be injured, so in the blink of an eye, the deck of more than 20 ships is a scene of flesh and blood!
Seeing that the ship in front of them had been attacked by their own family, the tail fish and several other leaders felt that they had won the battle, and they rushed to the deck one after another! As a result, they rushed to the deck only to find that something seemed to be wrong!
Normally, when the sailors were robbing, the sailors on the ships usually surrendered after a symbolic resistance! After all, it's just begging for food, how can you play with the bandits! But today, the sailors on these ships are not ordinary, although they are far fewer than the bandits, but they have been fighting!
They were divided into two teams, the more crowded team guarded the door of the foredeck building, and the less crowded team guarded under the rear deck building, relying on the ship's building to put up a stubborn resistance! The water bandits repeatedly rushed and killed all of them and were resisted back, and they couldn't take them for a while!
The tailless fish stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the battle group fighting on the deck, and he was very puzzled! And the fear in his heart was increasing slightly! Because what happened today is so extraordinary!
At this moment, he staggered out of the warband! The man was shirtless, but he had a wound diagonally down from his left chest! It looks like if it wasn't dodging fast, it would be disemboweled! Rao is like this, he didn't throw away the short knife in his hand!
He pulled out of his wound just as he was grabbed by the tailless fish, and then called for someone to help him bandage it. But the man saw the tailless fish grabbing him directly by the clothes and said, "Big boss, things are not quite right! These ideas are too tricky!"
Seeing that he was seriously injured, the tailless fish quickly waved his hand and motioned for the people around him to help him bandage his wounds, and at the same time asked, "What the hell is going on?"
The water bandit said with a palpitating face: "Big boss, these people don't look like the guys of the ship company, they look like the officers and soldiers of the sailors when they look at the rules of the battle! After they formed a formation, the brothers rushed several times but couldn't rush up, and they were all blocked! If they're ship's mates, they'll collapse if we charge them!"
This man's words slammed into the head of the tailless fish like a thunderbolt, blowing him up and scattering his soul! He subconsciously said, "Impossible! They are not
How can you ...... if you take our money?"
Speaking of which, the tailless fish comes to its senses! What shall I do if I have received your money? It is natural for officers and soldiers to suppress bandits, I took your money, and then took your head, then it is called "both people and money"!
At this time, the tailfish still looked around with the last ray of hope. For he had seen the ships of the fleet beforehand, and they were all very heavy, and they must have been full of cargo, and there could be no mistake about that! Therefore, if there is an ambush by the officers and soldiers, there will definitely be ships on the nearby river!
He looked up and saw that there were no ships approaching on the wide river! The other ships saw the fight here and were already busy fleeing in all directions, not at all like there was an ambush! But just as the tailless fish hesitated, a firework suddenly flew out of the window of the ship building not far in front of him, and flew obliquely into the air, and a huge red fireball exploded with a "bang"! .
When I saw this scene, the tailless fish immediately knew that it was not good! He shouted, "The wind is tight, and the wind is blowing!"
But it was too late for him to give orders! Just then, he heard a crazy roar coming from inside the ship building opposite! When the tailless fish heard this movement, they felt a chill in their hearts! Because he's already guessed the way it is!
The ships in the fleet are heavy ships full of cargo, and that's true! But a heavy ship may not be fully loaded! The salt itself is heavy, as long as it is installed in a large half cabin, it is enough to press the ship to draft very deeply, and the remaining space can hide a lot of soldiers and horses!
In the words of the little leader just now, saying that the sailors on the ship are like the soldiers of the sailor, it means that the soldiers of the sailor who are ambushed in the cabin must also be the soldiers of the sailor! Even the whole fleet of people who operate the ships are all soldiers!
Moreover, the tailless fish is familiar with the structure of the ship, and knows that the reason why these sailors are holding on to the shipbuilding is because there is also an entrance and exit in the shipbuilding, and the soldiers in the cabin can completely rush out from there! And his own side has been fighting with the other party for a long time, and both morale and physical strength have dropped a lot. If the other party has a new force to kill at this time, their own side will definitely be defeated!
