Xu Hai's order could be said to be incorrect, and his response could not be said to be untimely, but it was inconsistent and could not be implemented at all.
Due to the bend in the river, and the pilot boat parked in front to salvage sunken wood, the Japanese pirate fleet was blocked at the bend in the river.
With so many ships jammed together, it is not easy to get out of the blockage at once, let alone rush forward quickly.
There is not much time left for them.
Not far behind them, dozens of rafts filled with straw and dry firewood cut through the waves along the current and rushed towards the Japanese pirate fleet.
Getting closer, getting closer.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
Seeing the raft getting closer and closer, the Japanese pirates were so frightened that they shouted and fired arrows in an attempt to prevent the raft from approaching the fleet.
Seeing that the raft was about to enter the range of the Japanese pirates' bows and arrows, the Zhejiang army officers on the raft in front of it were filled with straw and dry firewood. They laughed loudly and said, "My sons, accept the gift!" and lit the straw and dry firewood with fire sticks.
The straw and dry firewood were all sprinkled with grease, and the fire started to burn fiercely. In an instant, the flames were raging into the sky, and the smoke was billowing.
After lighting the straw and dry firewood, the Zhejiang Army soldiers jumped onto the supporting raft behind them, and then pushed the burning raft hard with the pole, giving them the final boost and causing them to accelerate forward.
The burning rafts, like fire dragons, quickly rushed towards the Japanese pirate fleet.
Seeing the fire dragon getting closer and closer, the Japanese pirates on the boat were so frightened that they were so frightened that they were crying, howling, and urinating.
The Japanese pirates fired arrows at the rapidly approaching raft like crazy, but it was of no use. The Zhejiang soldiers on the raft had already gone upstream on the supporting raft, and the Japanese pirates' arrow rain could not reach them at all.
.
As for the burning raft, there was no one on it, so no matter how many arrows were shot, it was of no use. Instead, it became firewood.
Under the action of the water flow, the burning wooden shrine was bathed in the rain of arrows and rushed towards the Japanese pirate fleet with blazing fire.
"Hei Niu, Wo Cao Nima, you guys are cheating me, don't be so damn stuck in front, hurry up and row the boat."
"Those in front, hurry up and row! The fire boat is rushing over. If we don't rush out, we will all be burned to death."
"Get out of the way! The bastard in front of you, get out of my way quickly. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude."
As the raft approached, the Japanese pirates on the boat were like ants on a hot pot, becoming more and more anxious and irritable, shouting and cursing at the Japanese pirates on the boat in front.
"Damn it, we don't have time, don't care, just hit them, hit them, if you don't want to be burned to death, just run them away!"
"go away!"
Under the threat of death, the Japanese pirates in the rear boat could no longer control themselves. They rowed the boat with all their strength and rammed the boat into the front boat, hoping that a miracle would happen and they would find a way out. "Bang!" There was a loud noise.
, hit the boat in front.
"Fuck!"
"Matsui, you really want to die!"
The boat in front was tilted by the impact, and the Japanese pirates on the boat were knocked upside down and started shouting and cursing repeatedly.
The ship in front was hit and turned sideways. Not only was it unable to find a way out, but the blockage became even more severe.
The Japanese boats behind wanted to keep up their efforts and hit them again, but when they waited for them to exert their strength, they heard a loud "bang" sound. The boat under them was hit by the boat behind them, and they also felt the impact of the boat in front.
The ship tilted, they were knocked upside down, and the Japanese ship underneath them was also hit and changed its direction.
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of collisions with ships was heard, and the Japanese pirates tried to open a way, but instead they became more chaotic and blocked.
The Japanese pirates on the boat kept shouting and cursing.
"Damn it! That bullshit dark wood is all a trap! It's all the conspiracy of the damn little thief named Zhu!"
"Damn Zhu Ping'an! He deliberately used ebony wood to lure us, and used the bend in the river to block us here!"
Xu Hai quickly reacted and realized that the black wood he encountered twice in succession was basically a trap set by Zhu Ping'an.
"Hold my saber and quickly get to the pilot ship. If you can't move forward within five breaths, kill the captain and deputy captain!"
"After the pilot boat has passed, go to the rear boat one by one with a knife. In the same way, if anyone can't move forward after five breaths, his captain and deputy captain will be beheaded!"
"If you find a problem, you can do it easily. I promise you to deal with it first and then report it later!"
Seeing the chaos in the fleet, Xu Hai made a quick decision, took off his saber, handed it to his trusted Japanese pirate, and ordered him to step forward and clear the way!
"You too!"
Chen Dong and Maye also took off their sabers and handed them to their respective trusted Japanese pirates, asking them to go together.
Several trusted Japanese pirates jumped forward holding Xu Hai and his sabers, stepping on the side and bow of the ship, swinging their flying claws, like flying over a cliff and walking on a wall, stepping on the Japanese ships in a mess, and quickly rushed to the pilot ship.
Hei Niu and others on the pilot boat also knew that something bad was going on. They were rowing forward in a hurry even before the Japanese pirates arrived. However, the sunken wood they salvaged was too heavy, which seriously affected the speed of the ship.
But they couldn't throw the sunken wood overboard. If they did, it would block the river and affect the passage of ships.
"Damn it, throw the dead wood over the boat, jump into the water, drag the dead wood to the shore, don't affect the river!"
After several trusted Japanese pirates arrived at the pilot boat, they discovered the problem and ordered Heiniu and others to throw the sunken wood into the river. They also ordered Heiniu and several other Japanese pirates to jump into the river and drag the sunken wood to the shore.
"What?! It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, and you want us to jump into the water and drag the dead wood to the shore?! We must not freeze to death!" After hearing this, the black cow's eyes widened in disbelief and objected.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and then he felt that his head was so light that it seemed to be floating.
When his head fell on the board of the boat and his vision turned into blood, he realized that I had been beheaded...
"Do you still have any questions?!"
The leading Japanese pirate confidant shook off the blood on the Japanese sword, returned the Japanese sword to its sheath, squinted his eyes and asked the other Japanese pirates named by him.
"No no......"
How dare the other Japanese pirates have any more questions? They resigned themselves to their fate and jumped into the freezing cold water.
Only one stood still on the boat and said shiveringly, "But, I don't know how to swim!"
"Um?"
The leading Japanese pirate narrowed his eyes again.
The Japanese pirate who dared to say anything else jumped into the boat with a splash, and then the whole person sank to the bottom. He struggled desperately with his hands and feet in the river water, trying to show his head and shout for help, but when he opened his mouth, the cold river water quickly filled him.
It entered his mouth and nose, and the biting river water aroused cramps in his hands and feet. After a few struggles, he sank into the river forever and disappeared.
"Well, you really don't know how to swim!" The leader of the Japanese pirates, a trusted aide, shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly.
