Chapter 228 Beheading

Although Liu Jing's infantry beheaded Wu Ju and smashed his troops, it was far from a victory, and the battle of the navy was drawing to a close.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the wreckage of boats and boats was everywhere on the Xiangshui River, and the river surface was covered by flags, drums, weapons, and corpses.

Hundreds of warships in the front of the Jingzhou Navy either sank at the bottom of the river or were captured and surrendered. Only a dozen or so ships were still stubbornly resisting.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Several gigantic shooting poles fell with the sound of wind and thunder, completely destroying and sinking a battleship with serious water leakage and a tilted hull.

"Long live..." Liu Jingshui's soldiers cheered in unison, their voices shaking the world.

Liu Zong, who was in the royal room of the ship, also showed a smile on his face that he was sure of victory. The power of the pole was beyond doubt, especially when it appeared on the battlefield for the first time, the opponent couldn't find a way to deal with it in a hurry.In this battle, he was able to almost completely annihilate evenly matched opponents at a relatively light price, which can be said to be a great contribution.

However, he found that the pole seems to be able to be used repeatedly, but the reality is that wooden poles and stones are far from durable. After a big battle, according to his visual inspection, almost [-]% to [-]% of the pole was destroyed.It should be known that not all paddle poles participated in the battle, so this ratio is unavoidably high.

He wasn't too worried. After all, the pole was a new thing, and there were still many things that could be improved in terms of craftsmanship and materials.

Accompanied by the sudden shouts of killing, Liu Zong turned his attention back to the battlefield, and his own warships began to launch a final attack on the dozen or so enemy ships that had gathered in the middle of the river and were still fighting.

Huang Wu stood with his sword in his hands, and said bitterly to the people around him: "Cai Zhong, this little Shu, is just like a mouse. Since the start of the war, he has changed the ship three times, causing Grandpa to miss many times. This time, Cai Zhong is finally here." There is no escape, his head must be taken off by me personally, and Chen Bodeng must not be the first." He and Chen Jin have known each other for many years, and they are close friends, but this does not prevent them from competing for the first place.

"No." All the parts bowed and obeyed.

The soldiers received the order, shouted the chant, and rowed the oars vigorously. When they encountered an enemy ship in the middle, they went straight to Cai Zhong's ship without stopping.

After approaching, the soldiers on board used hooks to hook the enemy ships one after another. The hooks, also known as hooks, are somewhat similar to the hook and sickle guns of later generations. They were used to hook and resist enemy ships during water battles. "Mozi" records: "(Lu Ban) traveled to Chu from the south of Lu, and began to use it as a weapon for boat warfare.

"Quick, quick..." Seeing that Chen Jin had boarded Cai Zhong's ship one step ahead of him, Huang Wu kept urging him for fear of losing his head.

As soon as the plank was set up, Huang Wu rushed up immediately, and jumped into Cai Zhong's ship in three steps at a time. At this time, the deck was in chaos. .

"Kill!" Huang Wu was less than seven feet tall, but he had a belt around ten feet. He was strong and powerful. He swung his long knife and slashed and slashed.

It's just that as he continued to deepen, the difficulty also increased geometrically. In an instant, he was hit by a knife and a halberd. Fortunately, the armor he wore was very good, so there was no serious problem.

There is a reason why Huang Wu is so desperate. Chen Jin is approaching Cai Zhong quickly, unless he is willing to hand over the credit to the other party, otherwise he must fight hard.

Cai Zhong leaned weakly against the wall of the building. His head had been severely injured before, and he bled a lot. Now not only his body is weak, but his head also feels dizzy. He can only bite his tongue to boost his spirit.

Seeing the burly and bearded Chen Jin coming straight towards him, Cai Zhong's eyes were full of fear. Although this man was unknown, he was extremely brave. Since boarding the ship, those who died by his hands needed two hands count them.

Then, he glanced at Huang Wu who was approaching quickly. This is also a fierce general, and he almost died in the hands of this person before.

Facing the two in his heyday, he might have the strength to fight, but now...

"It's better to be shrouded in horse leather than to die of old age and sick." Cai Zhong tightened his grip on the saber in his hand. He was already prepared to die in battle. How can he be invincible when the other party has such a sharp weapon in water warfare like a pole?

Chen Jin parried the stabbing spear with the blade, approached the enemy soldier, and cut his throat cleanly with a horizontal stroke of the knife. So far, there was no obstacle between him and Cai Zhong.

"Your foot is Cai Zhong, the forward of the Jingzhou navy. I am Chen Bodeng of Changsha. I have stepped under the Nine Springs. Don't forget..." After saying that, Chen Jin swung his knife and killed him quickly.

"An unknown person dares to speak wild words." Cai Zhong was furious when he heard the words, and he felt like he was being bullied by dogs. No matter what he said, he was a well-known general in the Jingzhou Navy. Even if he died, he would die with vigor and vigor. How can it be reduced to a stepping stone for nobody?

Cai Zhong was almost unable to stand still, but under his anger, he felt strength in his body again, and he and the two remaining guards around him shot together, wanting to kill Chen Jin with all his might.

Chen Jin was not fighting alone, he only needed to focus on dealing with Cai Zhong, and the two bodyguards were swallowed by the surging crowd following Chen Jin in the blink of an eye.If Chen Jin hadn't insisted on beheading Cai Zhong himself, the latter would not have been spared either.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

A series of sharp and ear-piercing clanging sounds, Cai Zhong, driven by anger, only attacked but not defended. He was stabbed four times in a row, his armor was dripping with blood, and he still refused to retreat.

After paying such a price, Cai Zhong was not without gains, and Chen Jin was also beheaded by him, and the wound was deep and deep.It's a pity that he is not in a healthy state after all, otherwise, even if this knife can't kill Chen Jin, it can still seriously injure him.

"Borden, are you alright?" Huang Wu hurried over, seeing that Chen Jin was repulsed and injured by Cai Zhong, he was really startled.

"It's okay..." Chen Jin shook his head and said, "Kill him first."

"Okay..." Without further ado, Huang Wu took advantage of the momentum, raised his hand and slashed vigorously.Chen Jin endured the pain and cooperated with him to attack Cai Zhong's chest.

Cai Zhong raised his saber to block Huang Wu's slashing, but he didn't want Huang Wu's amazing strength, so he directly pressed his saber and slashed into his shoulder.At this time, Chen Jinzhi's knife also stabbed into his abdomen.

Cai Zhong screamed endlessly, Huang Wu turned his blade and cut off his head, finally calmed him down completely, then swayed in front of Chen Jin as if showing off, and laughed loudly: "Haha, the credit goes to the head!" me."

Chen Jin had personally killed quite a few people, but the scene in front of him, which looked like a slaughterhouse, still made him feel a little uncomfortable. He looked around and said, "You've won this time."

At this time, the battle on the deck was basically over, and the enemy soldiers either died or surrendered, and there was no one standing.When Cai Zhong's general flag fell, the scattered resistance around him quickly extinguished.
