Chapter 60: The Eight Immortals Cross the Sea to Show Their Abilities
In the port of Yangzhou, more than a dozen sea falquer ships are moored. This kind of boat has a boat-shaped head with a low tail and a high tail, with a large front and a small back, in the shape of a falcon. The boat is equipped with floating plates on the left and right, shaped like falcon wings, to help its boat, although the wind and waves are angry, but there is no roll. The boat is covered with raw cowhide soaked in tung oil on the left and right.
This was the most advanced sea ship in the Tang Dynasty, and Xingchen Pavilion was able to take out more than ten ships at one time, which gave Zhong Yin a new understanding of its financial resources and power. You must know that even if he wants to recruit such a number of sea falcons at a time, it will not be possible to do it for ten days and half a month, and the Star Pavilion will be ready in just a few days, although this is not the same as the Star Pavilion's use of the sea falcon ship as a means of foreign trade and transportation to and from the Star Island, the cost and maintenance of the sea falcon ship is really expensive.
On the Zhongyinguan ship, the battering rod, the slap rod, the stone throwing machine and the Wanjun crossbow are all placed on the sea boat, wrapped in cowhide as armor, and the cowhide is coated with tung oil to make it more protective.
This is clearly a warship, and Zhong Yin couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Just when Zhong Yin was fascinated, Nangong Yuyu's words made him wake up.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start early! Let me briefly mention that this time the Star Pavilion will send twelve Sea Falcon ships, except for the necessary crew members and some of the personnel who operate the ship's battering rods, slapping rods, stone throwers, and Wanjun Divine Crossbows, the others are all good at Void Steps, as the main force for assaulting and killing the enemy.
Among you, the best will be one of the main forces, and the basic conditions for being selected are!" Speaking of this, Nangong Yuyu paused, looked at the people who were listening, and solemnly said "Save your life!" These two sonorous words.
"I don't want you to kill how many pirates you can kill, how much merit you make, I just hope that when you leave today, how many people will there be!
Everyone was silent, and Nangong Yuyu's words warmed their hearts.
"Ready to start! The sea falcon ships are arrayed! The crossbowmen are ready! What you have to do is to board the sea falcon ship unscathed, and the loser will be disqualified from this crackdown on bandits!" Nangong Yuyu looked at everyone with a serious expression.
Zhuge Chunqiu took out the jasper wine bottle he carried with him, and five wine glasses, handed them to Zhong Yin and the others, and after pouring the wine glasses one by one, he covered the jasper wine jug and drank the wine glass in his hand.
"Bang!" he threw the glass to the ground, shattering it. Zhong Yin and the others also poured down the Baihua Brew in the cup one after another, and suddenly threw the jasper wine glass to the ground and shattered it.
"Fight!" everyone gathered in a circle, stretched out their right hands and put them together, their faces full of war.
"Begin!" Nangong Yuyu's expression was serious, and his tone was loud.
Suddenly, everyone rose into the air and rode away towards the sea falcon ships lined up on the sea.
"Boom!boom!boom!" A rain of arrows rained down on everyone, and the stone throwers and the Wanjun crossbow were all ready, aiming at the people who were riding the waves on the sea, waiting for the opportunity to move.
A dense rain of arrows came in an overwhelming manner. Zhong Yin and the others flashed rapidly, turning and moving, and for a while, they were embarrassed. On several occasions, Zhuge Chunqiu was almost hit by a sharp arrow because he couldn't keep up with his stamina, but fortunately he was able to get out of it and be safe and sound.
At this scene, Nangong Yuyu who was looking at the shore sighed in his eyes, but his expression was full of relief.
"Second brother, use weapons!" but Zhong Yin said a flaw in Nangong Yuyu's words.
Several people heard this. The weapons in his hands suddenly shot, and some arrows that could not be dodged. Fly directly with the weapon in your hand.
Zhuge Chunqiu's internal strength was his weakness at this moment after all, following Zhong Yin's advice, he stepped out of the void step with all his strength, and the traceless sword in his hand stabbed out with a brush, shooting down the arrows that didn't have time to come.
For a while, it was also very relaxed, the wind was light and the long sword was swordsman, treading the waves, like a fairy among the gods.
"Hum!" There was a buzz! But it was a Wanjun Divine Crossbow that fired a crossbow arrow at Zhuge Chunqiu, which was a peerless killing weapon that claimed to be able to shoot an inch of wood a thousand steps away.
The crossbow arrow appeared in front of Zhuge Chunqiu in an instant, he was at a time when the old force had gone, and the new force was living, and he was powerless to dodge, and everyone was not in a hurry to rescue at the moment, seeing that Zhuge Chunqiu was about to be pierced by the crossbow arrow through the chest, he pounced, he was in this moment of crisis, he had an idea, a thousand catties fell, fell into the sea, and escaped the fatal blow.
At this moment, the launch of the Wanjun crossbow and trebuchet, many people were tricked, fell into the sea, and lost the qualification to suppress the bandits this time.
It turned out that the rain of arrows fired by the sea falcons had all been removed and wrapped in cotton cloth, so that they could not hurt anyone.
And what the trebuchet throws is a tomato. and special crossbow arrows made of cork, which pose no threat to the martial arts practitioners who participated in this time.
"Bang!" he threw the glass to the ground, shattering it. Zhong Yin and the others also poured down the Baihua Brew in the cup one after another, and suddenly threw the jasper wine glass to the ground and shattered it.
"Fight!" everyone gathered in a circle, stretched out their right hands and put them together, their faces full of war.
