Chapter 235 The first water battle
A small boat sailed out of the reeds by the river, as if attracted by Liu Rushi's clear and moving nature sound.
The boat rowed over the big boat where the female family was riding. Several guys on the boat with flesh-faced faces looked at the seven women on the big boat with lust. The guys on the boat opened their mouths: "Wow, they are really beautiful!"
The boat whistled, and countless small boats and rafts suddenly broke out from the reed marsh. Two flags were raised on a slightly larger boat headed, one of which reads: To carry the way for heaven, and the other reads: To rob the rich and help the poor.
"Ah! Thieves!" The man who looked like a shopkeeper on a large cargo ship led by the leader changed his face and screamed in shock.
"Dangdangdang" Bells on several large ships rang, and someone shouted: "The water bandits are here!"
Liu Rushi and the six girls were so scared that they lost their looks. They threw down the piano and ran into the cabin in panic.
"I have this river bloomed, and I have planted this tree. I have to pass by here and leave it to buy wealth!" A thief who looked like a minion stood at the bow of the boat and shouted.
"What? Just money? You stupid pig! Don't those seven delicate little beauties stay?" A thief who looked like a little boss slapped the back of the minion's head.
"Yes, there are seven little beauties! Take them back tonight and let the brothers enjoy it!"
Zheng Zhibao, who was wearing a silk robe, stood on the bow of the first ship. It was obvious that he heard the thief laughter. Zheng Zhibao pretended to be scared and bowed to the approaching thief ship: "Good guys, okay, you can give the goods on the ship to you, don't take away the old daughter."
"Bah! I'm immortal! We're going to want the goods! We're going to make up for the people!" A thief on the pirate ship said with a grin.
"Brothers, come on! I'll give the boss the wife of the village! The rest will be distributed to the brothers!"
Hundreds of small boats rushed out and surrounded them from all directions.
The thief burned in the fire rowed a small boat, let go of the big boat in front, and headed straight for the female passenger ship in the middle.
Just as the thief was about to rush to the female passenger ship, Li Guodong and Zheng Zhifeng opened their bows and arrows, and two feather arrows shot out with the sound of the wind. Only two screams were heard on the boat, and the two thieves fell into the water.
"There are guards on the ship!" a thief shouted.
"Kill them! Take the woman away!" a little leader shouted.
Another thief shouted confidently: "Yes! What are you afraid of? They are just the people in Tawau. They are powerful on the shore. When they are in the water, they are not our world!"
The thief who was so brave and brave, rowing the boat and leaning forward desperately. At this moment, more than a dozen strong men dressed in servants ran out of the cabin, carrying two black objects and putting them down at the bow and stern of the boat.
"Not good! It's a cannon!" Some thieves screamed.
"Boom boom" two Flang machine cannons suddenly spewed out flames, and white smoke filled the river surface.
The sub-gun loaded with shotguns sprayed out a series of barrage, swept past the thief's small sampan, rushed on the two sampans in front and immediately sprayed a splash of blood mist. The thieves on the boat fell into the water like dumplings.
The warships of the Zheng Family Navy's navy had all been removed from their disguise, and they carried out their cannons, aimed at the dense pirate ships on the river surface, constantly spewing out flames. Each row of shotguns splashed away, and blood rose from the river surface, wood chips flew everywhere, and a large number of corpses that were beaten into hornet's nest fell from the small sampan swept by the shotgun.
"Bang bang bang" The deafening bird gun sounded, and the officers and soldiers of the Zheng family army extended the gun barrel from the edge of the ship gang, pulled the trigger, and the fire was emitted from the muzzle, causing heavy casualties and injuries.
"Jump up! If you jump on, we will win!" Wang Daoshan, the second leader of the bandit, shouted anxiously. His boat was only more than fifty steps away from the female passenger ship, and the other ships around him were only more than twenty steps closest. As long as he worked harder, the boat could be attached to the big ship.
Among the thieves, there were archers. When they saw a large ship firing guns and shooting arrows, some thieves took out the bows and arrows and shot arrows at the large ship.
The soldiers of the Zheng family raised wooden shields to block the arrows. Several Zheng family gunners were shot by the feather arrows shot down. The wooden pieces or bamboo pieces of naval armor on their bodies effectively provided protection. The bandits' bows and arrows were weak and could not penetrate the naval armor on the lining was silk and covered with wood pieces or bamboo pieces of naval armor on the outside. The defense ability of this wood piece of bamboo piece of armor was actually quite good.
The wood chips and bamboo armor of the Zheng family army are made of Japanese wood armor and bamboo armor. Good wood armor and bamboo armor are even more expensive than iron armor. Ordinary navy officers and soldiers cannot afford this kind of armor, but the elite personal soldiers have this kind of armor that is conducive to water warfare.
During the water battle, if you are wearing iron armor, cotton armor, leather armor, etc., once you fall into the water, you will be brought into the water by the weight of the armor and cannot even float. The wooden armor and bamboo armor will provide additional buoyancy after the sailor falls into the water.
The three pirate ships closest to the female passenger ship had already leaned on the big ship. A thief with a shirtless and holding an axe jumped onto the big ship. Before he could gain a foothold, a soldier on the ship raised his sword and fell down. The sharp Miao knife directly cut the thief, who was three thick and five big, cut the thief into two pieces in half.
"Ah!" Liu Rushi was so scared that she screamed in shock when he saw the blood flowing into the cabin along the deck.
Then another head rolled into the cabin, and Liu Rushi and the four refugee girls screamed in shock.
"It's useless!" Hexiang and Mo Zhu looked at each other, and the two girls were guarding the door of the cabin, watching the Zheng family army outside fighting with the thieves with interest. Whenever they saw Li Guodong or Zheng Zhibao chopping down a thief, they would shout excitedly: "Young Master Li is good at killing! The Fourth Master is good at killing!"
Li Guodong and Zheng Zhifeng were fighting the bandits outside. Just now, more than a dozen thieves jumped up. Li Guodong and Zheng Zhifeng each killed a head, and the other soldiers killed the remaining thieves.
On Zheng Zhibao's big ship, some thieves had already jumped up. Zheng Zhibao brought more than 20 personal soldiers to fight with spears, melon knives, and axes. After all, the soldiers of the Zheng family were all pirates who had fought old naval battles, and could walk on flat ground on the bumpy sea. Fighting in such a small river was like killing a chicken.
The four big ships behind were not approached by the bandits, and the four boats rushed forward. The Folang machine cannon on the bow and stern of the ship kept spraying out fireballs. The gunner used an iron hook to pull the cover on the belly of the cannon, put in a new sub-gun, and ignited the cannon again. The bird gunners and archers on the ship also rushed to shoot projectile arrows, killing the boats around them.
A guy who looked like a thief leader who boarded the female passenger ship took advantage of the opportunity that Li Guodong, Zheng Zhibao and others were attracted by other thieves and rushed directly into the cabin.
"Ah!" Seeing a bandit suddenly rushing into a thief with a fleshy face, a group of women in the cabin were fading, and even the most courageous He Xiang and Mo Zhu were so scared that they retreated.
