Because a boatload of women's soldiers joined the battle group, the water bandits suffered heavy losses. With a fierce attack, they coated the few remaining arrows with kerosene and began to shoot at the fleet here.
Suddenly, the sound of crying for father and mother could be heard everywhere.
The ships of the Tang Dynasty were all wooden ships with large sails, so water battles have always been fought with fire.
The reason why the water bandits didn't set off rockets before was because they thought that Lin Wanwan's fleet could scare people with just a few hits without a fight. Secondly, they were afraid that if a boat caught fire on the river, it would make too much noise.
Attracting the imperial navy.
But now they find that it's no longer possible. If they don't do something powerful, let alone rob them, they may have to account for all their own people here.
Naturally, Lin Wanwan had not prepared any rockets, so they were very passive in this round of confrontation.
Fortunately, the rockets are so powerful that they always penetrate the mast in one shot and are less likely to catch fire. In addition, the water bandits can have many good weapons in their hands, and the amount of kerosene at their disposal is also very limited.
After a round of volleys, there was no fire. Although there were fire spots in the fleet here, they were not serious and were quickly extinguished.
Seeing that the water bandits were about to be completely defeated, the leader of the water bandits, who thought he was very powerful, was not willing to retreat in embarrassment, but he was ruthlessly focused on heading towards Lin Wanwan's ship.
As long as the treasures are fished out of the owner's boat and the people are robbed, the trip will not be in vain.
Kunlun Nu and other servants who were guarding the ship were on the deck to prevent the bandits from climbing onto the ship.
However, it was inevitable that something would be missed in the melee, and the bandit leader's martial arts skills were indeed impressive. He was actually able to swing a fish arrow shot from a crossbow with a knife.
He finally climbed onto the boat where Lin Wanwan was, and what made matters worse was that he broke the neck of a male servant who was holding a crossbow and snatched the crossbow.
Fortunately, this man seemed to prefer to use the Tang Dao in his hand, wielding the Tang Dao so tightly that no one could do anything to him for a while, nor could they stop him from approaching the cabin.
There was a woman who was equally good at kung fu and saw what was going on on the boat here. She was flying between boats and getting closer to Lin Wanwan's boat at a very fast speed. She would kill the god if she blocked her, and she would kill the Buddha if she blocked her. But in the end, she couldn't be saved by the distant water.
Close to fire.
The leader of the water bandits had already rushed to the door of the largest cabin with red eyes, where Xiao Qingyu and his gang were hiding.
Lin Wanwan hid in the shadows outside the cabin, firing cold arrows from time to time.
She soon discovered that the bearded man who rushed over this time was difficult to deal with. Not only did he use the Tang Dao to block the sleeve crossbow she fired, but he also discovered her location because of this sneak attack.
With just one glance in the darkness, the bandit leader knew that he had caught a big fish and that the person in front of him was the owner of the fleet.
He rushed over with a ferocious smile, not caring about the sleeve crossbow tied to Lin Wanwan's hand.
Lin Wanwan calmly raised her right hand, raised the gun and fired.
After the first shot, she did not fire again, partly to save bullets, and partly because she did not want to expose her location due to the loud gunshot.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three gunshots were heard, overwhelming all the sounds of fighting in the dark night. The water bandit leader lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the three holes in his Tang sword.
"Bang bang!"
Two more gunshots were heard.
The leader of the water bandits lowered his head again, looked at the blood gurgling out of his body, spit out the word "you", and fell to the ground with a "pop" no longer able to hold on.
Don't die with peace of mind.
He couldn't figure out how he could die here, in the hands of a helpless woman.
What is the origin of that strange, dark, hidden weapon?
However, he would never know it. Lin Wanwan gave him two more shots, a total of five shots, and sent him back to the west without even having time to recover.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, if you can knock him down with one shot, what Lu Shouyue said is absolutely right.
In fact, if the water bandit leader was not overconfident in his sword skills and had no understanding of the penetrating power of the gun, if he concentrated on avoiding it, with his skill and Lin Wanwan's poor marksmanship, he could still avoid the vital point, or even completely avoid it.
Shooting.
But he was too conceited and suffered from short-sightedness. Bullets were not something that his Tang Dao could swing away. Using his ordinary Tang Dao to block modern bullets would be like using a mantis' arm as a chariot. It would be strange if he could not be killed.
When Lin Wanwan saw that the leader had been killed, she quickly shouted: "The leader of the water bandits is dead, kill him!"
Immediately afterwards, her subordinates also shouted: "The leader of the water bandits is dead, kill him!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" There was a clever move that picked up the fallen water bandit leader and used it as a human shield. He came to the place where the fire was so bright that everyone could see it just by looking up.
News of the leader's death spread instantly, and the water bandits collapsed instantly. Without any intention of fighting, they jumped into the water and fled in all directions.
The two water bandit boats, whose hulls were covered with arrows, also turned around and fled.
Lin Wanwan only pushed open the cabin at this time, and the cabin was dark.
She blew on the fire stick and lit the lamp in the room, and saw Xiao Yixun, dressed in snow-white, sitting on the edge of the bed holding a spear gun crossbow, while little Qingyu was still sleeping soundly.
After falling asleep, Xiao Qingyu could not wake up even if it was thundered, and the noise outside could not affect her at all.
In addition to the two of them, Cui Ying, Song Sulan, A Li, A Jing, Fuling and other pale-faced maids were also surrounding the bed.
Cui Ying and the others were frightened by the sound of fighting outside, while A Li and A Jing were seasick.
"It's basically okay." Lin Wanwan said, "The water bandits outside have dispersed."
Behind her were Yun Shang, Ji Yue, Huanong, Caiyun and other personal maids who were in shock. Kunlun and several other slaves and Bu Qu were guarding the door of the cabin.
Hearing what Lin Wanwan said, Xiao Yixun's tense little face relaxed. She was very good at poisoning and had internal strength, but her external skills were not strong.
In such a close encounter, her combat power would not be fully utilized for a while.
So Xiao Yixun never let go of Lin Wanwan's spear gun crossbow in her hand. This thing was more effective than her poison powder.
Lin Wanwan saw that the two little guys were alright and walked out again.
"Wait, don't leave." Xiao Yixun called out to her, "It's dangerous."
Lin Wanwan looked back and smiled, comforting Xiao Yixun and saying, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoxun, the bad guys have been beaten away. I'm going out now to count our own losses."
A quarter of an hour later, all the fire points in the fleet were extinguished. The leader of the escort team, the squad leaders of Lin Wanwan's armed branch, and the two leaders of the Detachment of Women came to Lin Wanwan's cabin and reported the situation to her.
In this chaotic night battle, two water bandits were captured alive, countless others were killed, and their bodies were thrown into the rolling river.
There were eight bodyguards on their side, and five of their troops were injured, but none were fatal.
It's just that Xia Tian suffered knife wounds and arrow wounds. Based on the experience of the escort team, I am afraid that a few people will die - of course, with Lin Wanwan here, infection will not happen.
The only person who died in the melee was a new manservant bought by Lin Wanwan. He died at the hands of the water bandit leader who rushed onto the deck.
