Ying Mingzhi's voice came from the lower deck of the giant ship opposite: "No, Jin Dog wants to rush over from the broken mast. Shoot them, shoot them to death, and don't let them land on our ship!"
As soon as Ying Mingzhi finished speaking, more than a dozen sharp arrows flew towards Zhi Yanzhi's group from high, low, left and right, from all directions and angles. Only the sounds of "pop" and "pop" could be heard. It was these sharp arrows.
The sound of cutting through the sky and hitting the surface of the shield was heard occasionally, but there were also a few muffled sounds. However, some sailors and archers from the Jin army were hit by these bows and arrows, and they immediately fell to the ground.
Until Yanzhi didn't even look at these fallen companions, he opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Suppress, suppress the demon thief's bow and arrow, it only takes a moment!"
All the archers around him who were squatting on the ground, or lying beside the ship's gang, under their shields, after hearing this, stood up one after another, regardless of whether they were protected by shield men or not, and pointed in the direction of the arrows just now,
There was a burst of bow and arrow fire, and there were screams from the opposite side. At least a dozen figures turned over and fell out of the boat. After a while, the sound of splashing water was heard from the bottom floor.
Ying Mingzhi's voice came from another direction: "Change the rockets for me. If you can't shoot them to death, they will be burned to death. Hurry, come quickly, more people!"
The dozen or so people who arrived at Yan Zhihe took advantage of the cover of the archers around them and lay down on the walkway beside the ship. They took all the leather bags and jars they had in their hands and tied around their waists.
After they came out, everyone could see clearly. It turned out that the outsides of these jars were thickly coated with mud, and the mouths of the jars were tightly sealed with isinglass to prevent the contents from falling or breaking.
go outside.
While fighting back, an archer glanced at Yanzhi and opened his eyes wide: "General, what is in these? Do they need to be protected so closely?"
When Yanzhi smiled slightly, he unscrewed a large leather bag in his hand. A pungent smell of saltpeter and sulfur reached everyone's noses. The archer suddenly understood: "This, this is saltpeter."
Sulfur powder, General, are we going to attack the enemy ship with fire?"
Yanzhi shook his head, pointed at the broken mast in front of him, and said: "No, what we want to attack is this thing. Without this mast, we can't break forward."
The archer laughed and said, "Understood, General, the other side is firing rockets. Maybe we can take advantage of the enemy's forces."
Yanzhi's eyes lit up and he looked at the archer: "Boy, what's your clever move?"
Without saying a word, the archer lowered his head and picked up a person beside the boat. He actually lifted it up from the ground with one hand. Just when Yan Zhi was about to say, "Brother, you are so awesome," but as he spoke, he saw that he was
Under the light of the torch, a pile of straw came into view. It turned out that this was just a dummy wearing leather armor, specially placed on the side of the ship to confuse the enemy, and even to harvest arrow branches. For example, this dummy,
There were seven or eight long arrows nailed to his body.
Yanzhi suddenly understood and said with a smile: "You still have a way." As he said this, he also picked up a similar dummy from the ground, put the isinglass on the open bottle cork, and put it between the two dummies.
He wiped it on the man's leather armor, then looked at each other and smiled with the archer, and the two of them threw the dummy in their hands onto the mast almost at the same time.
With two "click" and "click" sounds, the two straw dummies flew up to the mast. From the view of the giant ship opposite, they looked like two Jin soldiers flying towards them. The isinglass just adhered to the mast. These two
The dummy just looked like it was lying on the mast, as if it was about to climb forward and go straight to the enemy ship.
Ying Mingzhi's roar sounded almost at the same time: "Jin Gou wants to crawl over, shoot them, shoot them to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yanzhi felt a wave of heat coming towards his face, but dozens of rockets were fired at the two dummies from the giant ship on the opposite side. Suddenly, more than ten arrows were shot.
Two of the dummies were hit, causing the leather armor on their bodies to begin to burn. Most of the other arrows fell into the water after hitting the shaft, and a few five or six were nailed to the mast. As soon as the fire hit the wood, it soared.
A flame started, and soon the two dummies were engulfed in the flames.
Across the flames and black smoke brought by dozens of rockets, a burst of flattering cheers came from the opposite side: "Young leader leads the magic arrow, he hit the target with one arrow, that's amazing!"
"Haha, the two Jin dogs still want to climb the mast. Huh, don't think about what kind of marksman our Ying leader is. It's just trivial to pierce the enemy with a hundred steps."
Ying Mingzhi's proud laughter also sounded: "Children, have you seen that I usually ask you to practice archery hard just for this time? When you practice it in the dark like me, you can shoot an arrow from dozens of steps away.
The ability to hit the target and make achievements is not an issue. Okay, just continue to cum for me according to the method I just used. If any golden dogs want to crawl over, don't leave any of them behind."
Yanzhi suddenly stood up, looked in the direction of Yingmingzhi's voice, and said with a smile: "Yingmingzhi, since your archery skills are so good, shouldn't I give you some more ingredients to cheer you up?"
As he spoke, he threw the leather bag in his hand hard at the two burning straw men. Saltpeter and sulfur powder floated in the air all the way until they reached the two fires.
The flames, which were ten feet high, reached the height of two decks.
At the same time, Guo Yanzhi's subordinates also threw saltpeter, sulfur and kerosene in their hands at the mast. The entire mast was burning with flames that reached the sky. The fire burned rapidly, almost connecting the two entire masts.
The mast of the giant ship will be set on fire.
Ying Mingzhi's screams and curses were heard endlessly: "The slutty Jin Gou actually wants to use this method to attack our huge ship with fire. Children, cut down the mast for me quickly. Quickly, we must not let the fire burn our ship."
Immediately afterwards, in the black smoke, accompanied by the sound of violent coughing from the giant ship opposite, the sound of countless knives and axes hitting the wood also followed, and Yanzhi squatted down with a smile, looking at the person squatting beside him.
The archer next to me said: "Brother, you are very brave and clever. What is your name?"
This archer was a big man in his early twenties, as strong as an ox, with a square black face, eyebrows slanting into his temples, and two eyes, one big and one small, which looked a little weird. He grinned at Dao Yanzhi: "
To the general, young Yao Shufu, from Jinling, is currently the chief archer."
Yanzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Chief Yao, now you are the leader of the team, follow me from now on."
