But someone moved faster than them, and a dark face suddenly appeared in front of Chen Chang. The man said coldly: "It's windy and foggy on the river, and the water bandits have random arrows and flying stones. Your Highness, please stay in the cabin."
Rest peacefully, we will take care of things here."
Having said that, a sergeant had already blocked the portholes with wooden boards, and then there was a clanking sound, as if the boards were being nailed to the portholes.
"This is simply unreasonable!" Zhou Hong was furious and cursed, "These scornful things deceive Your Highness into being away from home for a long time and being weak and weak, so they treat us like this!"
Chen Chang advised in a low voice: "Captain Zhou, the situation is not good for us at this time. We must be patient for the time being and wait until we cross the river before we make long-term plans."
Zhou Hong angrily flicked his sleeves: "That's all, that's all..." Although he said this, the hatred in his heart was hard to calm down.
Of course, Hou Andu didn't know what was going on in the back cabin, and all his attention was now on the boats around him.
Seeing that the people on the big boat were disobedient, the water pirates were already furious. Someone had already moved the boat forward and continued to approach, preparing hooks, ropes, rope ladders and other tools in an attempt to seize the boat.
Hou Andu glanced at Liu Ming in front of him and said: "Liu Xiaowei! Send the order, kill without mercy!"
"No!"
The muscles on Liu Ming's exposed arms were tangled. After hearing Hou Andu's order, he perked up and immediately turned around and shouted: "Archers, prepare!"
In an instant, more than fifty archers quickly filed out of the cabin. They were all wearing black armor, with ringless swords hanging from their waists, and holding long bows. Each of them occupied a favorable terrain on the deck.
During the whole process, no one spoke, only the dull sounds of footsteps and breathing were heard.
Zhou Hong also raised a long bow and glanced around with a sullen face: "The water bandits are trying to rob my ship and murder His Highness. Lord Sikong has an order to kill them without mercy!"
After speaking, he waved his hand and led a group of archers to the deck on the right. The archers only followed the general.
The sound of the trumpet, the shouts and curses of the water pirates, and the plop of stones thrown into the water continued. After the water pirates saw this big ship, some people's ideas had quietly changed.
The reward for taking this business is high. As long as you are not stupid, you will know that there are important people on the ship. There may be more gold and silver. If the ship sinks, you will not get anything. The fat sheep you get
How can we let him escape so easily?
At this time, I am afraid that Wu Laoliu will have the same thoughts here.
"Rush up, kill them, and everyone will share equally..."
"Get closer, get closer..."
"The opponent has a bow and arrow, prepare a shield..."
"Quick, quick, get into the water, from under the water..."
Even though they were working in the same industry, the usual procedures and techniques were the same, but in the rush, the situation became chaotic.
After all, there is no one under unified command and no training together. These water bandits fight independently. Although there are many people and their momentum is impressive, their combat effectiveness does not produce the expected superposition effect, but directly restricts each other.
p>
The boat here has just accelerated and rushed forward, and there is a boat on the same side blocking the way. It is only less than a foot away and is about to collide.
Naturally, the one who was blocked was in a bad mood and started to curse, while the one who was trying to stop him naturally turned around and yelled at him, using obscure dialects and unpleasant swear words that made the originally tense and solemn atmosphere a mess.
The water bandit who was blocking the block was waving the machete in his hand and spitting curses. Then he saw that the guy who was blocked suddenly opened his eyes wide with a frightened expression. He was secretly proud of himself when suddenly he felt a burst of energy.
The wind hit me from behind, and I ducked subconsciously...
With the river breeze blowing on his face, Liu Ming took out two arrows from the quiver, bit one on his mouth, held the bow in his left hand, and pulled the string with his right arm, like a statue.
When the water pirate's boat was nearly a hundred paces away, he drew an arrow and nocked the bow. He drew the bow like the moon, and the arrow was like a shooting star. He shot an arrow at a guy with his back turned to him. With a "pop" sound, it hit the center of the back. The arrow was powerful and shot through.
That person.
Immediately afterwards, he changed his right hand to hold the bow, pulled the string with his left arm, and shot out another arrow powerfully, like lightning, and one arrow shot through the throat of another panicked water bandit.
"Good archery skills!" Hou Andu praised loudly.
The water pirates on the boat have already entered the eighty-step line.
"Kill!"
As Liu Ming shouted loudly, drums were beating loudly on the ship, and the archers lurking on the deck drew their bows and fired arrows at the same time. Dozens of arrows shot through the rain and fog towards the bandits.
These panicked water bandits were not unprepared, and they all raised shields to greet them. The quality of the shields varied, and some were even pot lids used by farmers for cooking.
The sinking force of the arrow was so great that ordinary leather or wooden shields could not stop it, and the water pirates fell down screaming.
The water pirates also launched a counterattack, but the range of their bows and arrows was slightly poor and their accuracy was insufficient. Few of the arrows hit the soldiers on the boat, and more of them staggered into the river.
"General, look in the water." A captain standing beside Liu Ming quietly pointed to the river twenty steps away. A black shadow was floating on the water, looming.
Liu Ming narrowed his eyes, but his murderous intent did not diminish at all, but became even stronger.
It’s a human! You can immediately recognize it as a water ghost coming out of the water to breathe.
Without hesitation, he opened his bow and fired an arrow. The arrow shot like a meteor. The sharp arrow pierced through the waves and hit the black shadow directly. A ball of blood emerged in the water and spread quickly, and the black shadow followed.
It disappeared.
"Kill! Leave no one behind!"
Although some of the arrows moved their targets to the water near the big ship, some water ghosts were scared out of their courage and swam back one after another. But driven by interests and desires, there were still more than a dozen black figures still heading toward the big ship.
Swim over.
The archers were all elite, and all of them had accurate archery skills. The powerful arrows shot into the water with a "whoosh!". In just a moment, most of the black-clothed water ghosts died in the water.
After shooting a pot of arrows, Liu Ming called a big man and said: "Zheng Qi, take your people with you and let Lord Sikong watch the fun!"
"No!"
Zheng Qi cupped his hands and led more than 20 people to jump deep into the river.
After a while, blood bubbles appeared one after another around the gang of the big ship. A soldier on the ship threw off the cable. Zheng Qi came out of the water and wiped the water on his face: "General, it's all settled!"
p>
Before they finished speaking, Hou Andu and Liu Ming heard a loud "quacking" sound coming from the bottom of the boat.
Zheng Qi, who was underwater, cursed and led the people into the water again.
Almost at the same time, the big boat lost control. The river was flowing right here, and the big boat swayed left and right like a kite with its string broken, drifting down the river.
"Lord Sikong, the water ghost dug through the bottom of the boat." Liu Ming said anxiously.
Hou Andu nodded and went straight to the back cabin.
Hou Andu summoned Zhou Hong out to discuss countermeasures with him.
