Most of Barathum's reputation was created on land.
But the group of cronies Meng Huo left in Huiwu City did not only make achievements on land.
"Enemy...enemy attack!!"
The soldiers on the boat screamed, but before they could finish shouting, the man was already pulled into the water.
He was helpless in the water, but he was killed by Ai Li in the water. He didn't even have the chance to struggle for a moment, and he lost his life easily.
And as if receiving some signal, as Aili dragged the first unlucky guy into the water, all the Menghuo soldiers who were lurking underwater at that time came out of the water and pulled the nearest unlucky guy into the water.
, needless to say what happened next...
The sounds of soldiers splashing into the water and screaming were endless, and some people lost their lives before they even figured out what happened.
This terrifying feeling is no less than fighting a losing battle with a huge disparity in numbers.
"Don't panic! The enemy is in the water! Attack them with long soldiers!"
"Don't save people! Don't rush to save people! Attack the enemies in the water first. Don't be fooled by the enemies. If you try to save people now, you will only get yourself involved!"
"Everyone who is still on the boat should huddle together! Be careful not to be dragged off by them!"
The scene was chaotic. Above the water, Yong Kai's naval officers and soldiers still had more or less clear heads. They summoned their colleagues around them and used the most effective method to deal with the "water ghost"...
For a moment, the situation seemed to be under control.
The Han soldiers may not be as good as the barbarians in terms of physical fitness, but they are not easily surpassed by the barbarians in terms of obedience and discipline.
As long as there is a command, everyone can stabilize their mood even if the situation is slightly behind...
But…
How could Aili and the others be defended so easily?
Aili, who had boasted to Baratum earlier, had already developed a very mature way of dealing with these seemingly well-disciplined naval officers. Ordinary attacks could not defeat them.
But there was one thing they couldn't prevent.
Dong Dong...
The fighting was still going on, and Yong Kai's men spared no effort to attack the figure in the water.
Their numerical advantage allowed them to quickly suppress Aili and others underwater.
After having some leeway, some people who had fallen into the water were even rescued, which greatly boosted their morale.
But what makes them feel strange is that they don't know when... there are no more people under the water. Although they poke randomly, the number of times they actually poke people is very few.
Where have people gone?
And I don’t know when, there were strange sounds coming from under the boat.
This left some people scratching their heads...but some battle-hardened veterans reacted immediately. They looked horrified and shouted at the recruits around them who had never experienced anything at all:
"Under the boat! It's under the boat! They are going to sink the boat! Hurry... stop it..."
Reacting is one thing, but again...for a group of living hells in the water, once they touch the bottom of your boat, they will always have thousands of ways to sink your boat.
Especially the shuttle-like boat that the Yongkai tribe is currently riding in. Although it is fast and extremely flexible on the water... its biggest shortcoming is its fragility.
This is why Baratum, after discussing with Aili, let go of Yong Kai's big ship and chose to target the small ship behind him.
No one can stop the water ghost from destroying the boat.
Dong dong...wow!!
The people on the boat hurriedly tried to detect the enemy at the bottom of the boat.
But Aili and others clung to the bottom of the boat in the water, close to the central axis of the boat... He gestured under the water, and all the soldiers took out their claw-like chisels.
This is the most precious and special weapon of Aili and the others.
When it comes to joining forces, let alone a small boat, even a large ship like Yong Kai cannot escape disaster.
However, this will only gain more than it loses. Refined weapons should be used where they are most suitable.
It is now.
Following Ai Li's order, they used all their strength under the water to pierce the chisel into the wooden board at the bottom of the ship. The chisel penetrated the ship as easily as it penetrated mud.
The fragile wooden board could not withstand a blow from the chisel. Along with the sound of the board breaking, the frightened voices of the soldiers once again came from the river.
"Broken... broken! The boat... the boat is leaking! Hurry... quickly find something to block it! Who... who goes down to entangle them, we can't let them scuttle the boat again!"
Just as some people were shouting, there was already chaos on the water. Everyone was just trying to protect themselves, and some people were in panic because the boat was leaking.
Although it is said that the vast majority of naval officers and soldiers can swim, people's fear of water is innate. No matter how proficient in water skills, people will have awe of water, not to mention those who are relatively half-experienced in water skills.
Where are people?
Once panic occurs, the situation can never be reversed.
Accompanied by the constant sound of being hammered, the boat capsized at every turn. Some people wanted to jump into the water to escape, but they didn't know that someone was waiting in the distance to take away their lives.
What can two hundred people do?
Two hundred men can force nearly a thousand navy soldiers to a dead end. The more than fifty ships, large and small, that are entangled by Aili and others are all sinking at this moment.
The fine river surface now seemed to have become a frying pan of hell.
The Yongkai soldiers in the oil pan desperately wanted to escape, but whether they fell into the water or stayed on the boat, they would be drowned and killed by Aili and others in the easiest way, in no particular order.
For a moment, the screams were loud...
Yong Kai, who had sailed far away, thinking that he was about to leave his name in history, was still watching the scenery from the bow.
Suddenly he heard a strange shout from behind. He didn't pay much attention at first. It wasn't until the soldiers behind him screamed in surprise that he finally looked back:
"What's wrong?
Why is it so noisy in the back?
what happened?"
"Sir! No... it's not good! The ship behind us seems to have been attacked! Many ships have sunk! What should we do?"
"Just kidding...how could someone attack us?
There were not even a few boats in sight at the ferry just now. Could it be that the water ghosts were causing trouble?
joke……"
"Master Yong! It's true. What the soldiers said is true! The boat behind us seems to have sunk a lot! The surface of the river is stained red with blood! There is something fishy in the water!"
"Master Zhu, why did you listen to what they said... The redness on the river's face is not due to the water plants... How is it possible..."
Yong Kai sneered and said his explanation, but he walked towards the side of the ship very honestly.
"..."
"Zhu...Master Zhu! Hurry...go and save people! What...what on earth is going on!?"
With Yong Kai's scream, most of the interception operation was completed.
Is there another step that is the icing on the cake?
Or...adding fuel to the fire?
No matter what, if you have to face Yong Kai, you still have to fight.
And this step was naturally done by Baratum.
"It's nothing, it's just a meeting gift we gave you."
It was not Zhu Bao who answered Yong Kai, but a rough and generous voice.
"Who...who?"
Just when Yong Kai shouted out in horror who it was, there was a terrifying vibration on the deck of the ship.
It was as if a thousand kilograms of weight had hit the deck hard. Some people were unable to stand and fell down on the deck. There were even more people staggering around, as if their momentum was completely suppressed.
"Baratum, Yong Kai, you should know me."
Balatum announced his home. At this moment, he was carrying a mountain ax and had arrived at the bow of the deck at some point.
"Sir! He...he flew up! This...this is a monster...this man is a monster!"
Those who don't know Baratum just saw Baratum rising into the air from the side of the ship and landing heavily on the ship, but they don't know how he climbed onto such a high ship.
Zhu Bao was frightened. When he saw Baratum appear, he frantically called for the soldiers around him to protect him, but he retreated steadily, eager to get into the cabin immediately.
"Lord Zhu! Stay here! We have so many people here, why can't he help us?"
After Yong Kai's initial panic, he quickly calmed down - the sound of fighting on the river behind him was still there, and he knew even without looking... these must be the ghosts of Balatum.
But he couldn't figure it out. Balatum definitely didn't have the brains. Maybe it was Dosi who was behind this...
The question is, how did Dosi know his actions?
Baratum is a general under Dosi's account, and there is no way he would let Baratum go into battle easily.
To put it bluntly, even if Duosi knew his whereabouts, even if Yongkai was plotted by Duosi, Duosi shouldn't stop his navy at this time?
Obviously...he could wait until he and Meng Huo fought until both sides were hurt, and then reap the benefits in the end. Wouldn't he be helping Meng Huo by taking action at this time?
Yong Kai, who was confused for a moment, stared hard at Baratum in the distance. The soldiers around him bent their bows and arrows, and they were all ready to attack. Even so, Baratum still showed no fear at all.
It was this attitude... that made Yong Kai feel very depressed.
"Baratum, you are not so stupid as to challenge a whole ship of our soldiers by yourself, are you?"
"Or maybe you just want to delay time, hum... Mr. Zhu, you go arrange support and repel the enemy's fight first, and leave this to me..."
"Yes Yes!"
Zhu Bao finally recovered from his fright. After hearing Yong Kai's order, he hurriedly began to gather the soldiers to launch the boat into the water.
As for Yong Kai...
"Baratum, what happened to Dosi to send you here at this time... Could it be that he didn't understand the situation?"
"Why, Master Yong is so smart, how can he not understand the truth?"
Baratum just showed an honest smile, but it happened to be like this, which was more damaging to Yong Kai.
Yong Kai's nose twitched and he quickly sorted out his thoughts...
Suddenly, he suddenly realized...
"Duosi...when did you form an alliance with Meng Huo?"
"You have to ask Mr. Gao about this. I'm just a messenger."
