Luo Junyao looked at Cao Mian, who was hiding in the crowd, and sighed helplessly: "Mr. Qu, let's do it."
Qu Fang didn't say a word, but his figure was already flying towards Cao Mian like lightning.
Cao Mian dared to let Luo Junyao and Qu Fang get close to him, so he relied on it. The two men were instantly snatched out of the cabin and stopped in front of Qu Fang.
The strength of these two people was much higher than that of the man and woman who confronted Qu Fang on the night of the Fang family's birthday party. Even for a moment, Qu Fang was unable to break through their blockade and capture Cao Mian.
Luo Junyao had the idea of capturing the thief first, and Cao Mian may not have the same idea.
The people on Cao Mian's side also gathered around Luo Junyao, but Luo Junyao was not worried. The two ships behind him were already approaching. Luo Junyao jumped onto the side of the ship, swung his knife to force away the people who rushed towards him, and lightly stepped on
Point has returned to his own ship.
The Dongzhou sailors on the ship fired their bows and arrows without hesitation, and aimed their gleaming arrows at the people on the opposite deck.
On the ship, surrounded by the sea, there was limited space to maneuver. Even if Cao Mian's men were very skilled, they still had to be wary of the archers on the opposite side.
"Princess, there is a ship coming over there." The Dongzhou Navy general said respectfully.
Luo Jun said: "Yes, who are the generals looking at?"
The general looked a little solemn and said: "It should be the pirates who often harass the coast. Their boats are small, but there are at least a thousand people in so many boats."
"Can you take it?" Luo Junyao asked.
The general thought for a while and said: "We have less than 300 people in our two ships, so it may be difficult. Princess, if we retreat now, their ships will not be able to catch up with us." The ants will kill the elephant.
Luo Jun shook his head and glanced at the general, but did not blame him for fleeing before fighting.
She also knew something about the situation of the Dongzhou Navy. Dasheng had neglected to develop the navy in recent years, and Dongzhou had been harassed by pirates along the coast all year round. It was not only exhausted but also low in morale.
To be honest, the Dongzhou Navy's combat effectiveness at sea is probably not as good as those of the pirates who have been plundering all the year round.
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "We can't let Cao Mian run away. Give the order and hit him!"
The general looked at Luo Junyao in surprise, but he still did not refute her words.
Their ship was much larger than Cao Mian's ship. There was a warship in trouble, but Cao Mian's ship was an ordinary merchant ship that was temporarily found. If they really hit it with all their strength, their ship would be fine, but the ship on the opposite side would be.
Absolutely unbearable.
The general turned around to give the order, but within a moment the bow of the ship slightly adjusted its direction, but without hesitation it rammed into the boat in front.
The huge impact force caused the ship on the opposite side to be knocked sideways in an instant. Even if the people standing on the deck were well prepared, many of them were knocked out and fell into the sea.
One impact was quickly followed by a second one.
The ship on the opposite side was directly hit with a huge crack, and seawater began to pour into the cabin.
When the first impact came, Cao Mian fell directly to the ground, and his head almost hit the wall.
"Sir, be careful!" The guard next to him rushed forward and grabbed him. Even so, Cao Mian was disoriented and speechless for a while.
Before he could recover, a second, bigger impact came. The guards hugged Cao Mian to protect him, but he was hit by the falling cabinet and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"The boat took on water!?" someone outside exclaimed.
Cao Mian's eyesight turned black. He had never been so embarrassed in his life for decades.
After finally being helped to stand up, Cao Mian raised his head and wiped his forehead, and there was a trace of blood on his fingers.
"Sir, I'm afraid the ship is going to sink. Let's get out." Standing in the cabin, they could already feel that the entire hull was slowly tilting to one side. It was obvious that the bottom tank was filled with water and was about to sink.
At the cabin door, Qu Fang and the two people still couldn't tell the winner.
Although the impact just now was violent, it had little impact on experts like them.
These two people were not weak in strength, and Qu Fang felt that he had not met a real master in a few days, so he became somewhat interested in fighting.
Even though they sensed that the ship was about to sink, it did not affect the confrontation between the three people at all.
The three of them fought from the cabin door to the deck and then to the roof of the ship, and then from the roof to the cabin door.
Luo Junyao, who was on the opposite boat, felt helpless when he saw this. Looking at the approaching fleet, he could only shout: "Mr. Qu, let's fight quickly."
After hearing the words "quick fight and quick victory", the two men snorted at the same time, obviously unhappy.
One of them pointed at Luo Junyao sharply, "You little girl is so arrogant!"
Luo Junyao quickly lowered his head to avoid the oncoming wind and sighed: "These days, all the masters have a bad temper."
"Princess, Cao Mian!"
Cao Mian was supported by two guards and came from the window on the other side. The stern of the boat was tilted less than a foot above the sea.
Cao Mian frowned as he looked at the water at his feet. The fleet was still some distance away from them, but the ship obviously wouldn't be able to hold on until then, and the people on the other side probably wouldn't give them a chance to wait until the fleet arrived.
A rope rolled over and wrapped around Cao Mian's waist.
When the two guards around Cao Mian saw this, they quickly drew their swords and tried to chop him. However, the man holding the other end of the rope shook hard, and one of them was thrown into the sea by the rope.
The other person was so shocked that Cao Mian was dragged into the water by the rope before he could react!
The next moment, dozens of feather arrows were shot at him. The guard had no time to think and could only turn over and hide in the cabin behind him.
Cao Mian fell into the sea and drank a lot of water. After finally struggling to surface, he found that he was being pulled backward by a force.
Only then did he realize that there was a rope wrapped around his waist. Without hesitation, Cao Mian touched the dagger he carried with him to cut the rope. The other party obviously discovered his intention, and the rope tightened and pulled him with a huge force.
Out of the sea.
"Master Cao, what do you think you are doing at your age?" Luo Junyao looked down at Cao Mian who was lying on the deck coughing and couldn't help but sigh.
Cao Mian finally coughed up the seawater that he had choked in, then raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile and said: "Successful kings and defeated bandits, I am willing to admit defeat, but I have to give it a try, right?"
Luo Junyao asked: "Can you make your people stop now?"
Cao Mian stood up, patted his wet clothes, and then said: "After delaying this for a while, you can't run this distance, right?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Who should run, the imperial navy or a group of pirates? Mr. Cao has been an official for so many years, can't you even figure this out?"
Cao Mian said: "In this sea, is it important whether you are an official or a bandit?"
Luo Junyao didn't care and said with a smile: "Although Mr. Cao appears to be disregarding life and death, I have always felt that there are not many people in this world who are really not afraid of death."
The sharp blade with a cold blue light was placed on Cao Mian's neck. Luo Junyao stared at him and whispered: "Master Cao, I'm sorry to trouble you."
