The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 137 Set Sail and Use One as a Thousand
The pirates who rushed close to the building ship heard the screams behind them and didn't care too much. Among the crowded pirate ships like a school of fish, four or five ships were sunk, which was quite shocking for the parties involved and the people around them. But for the people in the distance, they didn't care much, they rushed towards the boat as usual.They don't even care about the roar of the huge crossbow above their heads. The crossbow is powerful, but the speed is slow. Besides, I'm already under the boat. What can you do to me?
Just when the pirates rushing to the building were proud, the strangest thing happened.

A tall wooden pillar that could easily be mistaken for a sub-mast suddenly fell down with a terrifying momentum, and the ball tied with an iron chain circled more than half a circle and smashed to the ground with the sound of wind. When they got down, two pirate ships were the first to bear the brunt. One was smashed into the middle of the ship by a wooden pillar, and was knocked crooked on the spot. The sailors on the ship couldn't sit still, and several turned over and fell into the water. Without making a sound, they turned into meatloaf. The people in front were still trying their best to control their bodies, and had no time to pay attention to the situation behind them, while the sailors behind were dumbfounded at the wooden pillar that suddenly lay across in front of them. .

The pirates who got hit by the stake should be thankful, after all, they just capsized the ship.

Those who were hit by the iron smash were not so lucky.

A heavy iron ball fell from the sky and hit the bow of a fighting ship that had just been snatched from the navy. The pirates standing in front of the fighting ship suddenly disappeared, and soon the pirates discovered that the bow was gone , the original high bow disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a big hole, the sea water poured in, and the tail of the fighting ship tilted up at a very obvious speed, whether it was a pirate who was rowing or a pirate who was preparing to fight, everyone Losing his balance, he stumbled forward.One pirate panicked and grabbed the iron chain in front of him. Looking at his companions running past him and falling into the sea, he just smiled happily, but found that he had left the ship and was getting closer and closer to the sea. Farther away, farther and farther away, the battleship that was about to sink was right under his feet, and the horror on the faces of several companions who raised their heads was clearly visible.

He was stunned, and when he looked up, he, together with the iron ball, was suspended in mid-air, approaching the building boat. At this height, he finally saw the whole picture of the building boat clearly. On the sideboard of the boat, six identical giant logs were rising and falling one after another, some slowly stretched out like him, while others whizzed down, smashing on the boat of an accomplice who may or may not know him.

Before he could see too much, a sharp arrow flew over without a sound, and pierced his throat. He looked at the arrow feathers under his jaw, let go of his hand, and fell into the sea with endless doubts.

"You son of a bitch, your hands and feet are quite fast, and you won't be afraid of falling when you climb so high." Sun Shangxiang put away his bow and cursed angrily.

"General Sun is good at archery." Guan Feng in the cockpit clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Ashamed, ashamed." Sun Shangxiang bowed and saluted gracefully.

Corresponding to their politeness are the roars of fifteen giant crossbows, the roar of four Thunderbolt chariots, and the ups and downs of six rackets.The giant crossbow is in charge of the pirate leader a hundred steps away, the thunder car is in charge of the pirate ship about [-] steps away, and the racket has to deal with the pirate ship that is close to the building ship. Each takes responsibility and is methodical.

Although the giant crossbows and thunderbolt chariots are powerful, they are scattered among the densely packed ships on the sea surface, unnoticed, and the deterrence brought by the six racket sticks of the ship is not trivial.Seeing the pirate ships approaching the building boats, they were smashed into pieces one by one by the rackets falling from the sky. In just a cup of tea, a layer of wood chips floated up next to the building boats. Countless pirates hugged one or two A piece of plank is wailing in the water, they don't have to worry about drowning, there are so many rotten boats, you can touch the wood with your hand, but the giant wood and iron balls falling from the top from time to time are too scary, and the water splashes are endless , just like the schools of fish that were driven into the net and struggled desperately, the difference is that these schools of fish came to the door by themselves, and they came to the door happily.

The pirates at the back didn't know what was going on ahead, they continued to charge forward, usually cursing the accomplices in front while charging, and charged forward when they reached the waterway, behind the building ship was a fat and oily merchant ship, you crowded here What are you doing?What's so interesting about building boats? If you want to see them, just drag them back and watch them slowly. Isn't it blocking your way of making money by being stuck here?They yelled and cursed, but it was of no avail. When they finally squeezed to the front and saw this extremely terrifying scene, it was not so easy when they shouted to retreat. Pirate ships, big and small, crowded together, as if they were waiting to be disembowelled fish.

The pirates were inexplicably terrified, and the officers and soldiers of the navy were also terrified. Fortunately, they couldn't see clearly, but the lethality brought by these six rackets was too shocking. Every time they fell, one or two The pirate ships were overturned or even smashed. Under the heavy impact of the rackets, each pirate ship was no different from a toy, waiting for a tragic fate without exception. With its giant feet, it ruthlessly crushed the ships into pieces.

Although there were many pirates, they couldn't get close to the Louchuan. They surrounded the Louchuan, not as if they were attacking, but more like sending them to their deaths.

Crossing the sea was very exciting, but also a bit bitter. He brought seventy or eighty warships with him. He was no match for the pirates, but Sun Shao created such a record with only one stationary ship, and his one What kind of brilliance will it create?He couldn't help being curious, put his hands on his eyebrows, and looked into the distance.

He saw Sun Shao's building boat turn around from the south and head north, rushing towards the pirates at an unstoppable speed.

After Sun Shao left the waterway and headed south, the pirates didn't pay much attention to it. With so many ships, who would pay attention to an escaped ship.So what if you catch up?Therefore, almost all the pirates automatically ignored this building ship. Even Zhou Qun, the pirate king who is now a nameless pirate, did not pay much attention to it. All his mind was put on the attack ahead.The navy has already retreated into the waterway, and there is only one big ship left at the mouth of the waterway, and countless accomplices have surrounded it. Although the big ship is bigger and more difficult to conquer than ordinary warships, Zhou Qun has every reason I believe that in the face of such a huge number of pirates, no matter how difficult it is to conquer a building ship, it will not escape bad luck. The only difference is how many accomplices die.Zhou Qun was not afraid of sacrifice, the more people sacrificed, the better it was for him, and he would be more confident in controlling the overall situation.His cronies are all around him, just waiting to rush out to snatch the fruits of victory, and kill those fools who have no brains more, so that he can get more benefits.

He has already begun to think about how to deal with Su's thick legs. If he wins this battle, he will be able to deal with Su's thick legs, and only after he has dealt with Su's thick legs can he be the real overlord of the East China Sea.

Why can't I, Hunjianglong, become Donghai's reminder?Zhou Qun sneered endlessly, full of ambitions, he was immersed in imagining the future, until a horrified reminder came from his ear.

"fire--"

Zhou Qun turned his head to look, and was startled at once. The building boat that he thought had fled in a panic had returned at some point, with its sails fully drawn, riding the rising southeast wind, at an unimaginable speed. rushed towards him.Wherever it went, the pirate ship responsible for guarding his left flank was not an opponent at all, and was overturned by it without exception, and was crushed under the belly of the ship. The pirate ships that survived the disaster were actually not lucky. fire.This fast-moving building boat was like a galloping beast, rushing into the flock without any shelter, and was invincible. Wherever it went, the boat capsized and people died, and there was a sea of ​​fire.

Zhou Qun's eyes widened in horror, and he stammered, pointing at the fast-approaching Lou Chuan: "He...how did he...so fast?"

The cronies around him were also dumbfounded, yes, how could Lou Chuan be so fast?Even walking at a fast speed is nothing more than that.This kind of speed is understandable on a small boat like a walker, but it is incomprehensible when it appears on a giant warship like a building boat.

Regardless of whether they could understand or not, Sun Shao gathered the best archery guards around him, together with the only two crossbows on board, aimed at Zhou Qun's warship in the middle behind the pirate brigade. When he was at the waterway, he found Zhou Qun's location through clairvoyance.After staying in the south for a while, he found that most of the pirates had flocked to the front. When the guards around Zhou Qun were relatively weak, he commanded the warship to ride the wind and waves at the right time, roaring towards them.

The standard configuration of ordinary building ships is 600 sailors and 400 soldiers. The building ships he modified have 400 sailors and 300 soldiers, but he doesn’t have so many people under his command, so only half of them are allocated. The two ships have a total of sailors. Three hundred, three hundred fighters, this is obviously not able to exert the greatest power.Therefore, he decided to take a risk, one of the two buildings was the main attack, and the other was the main defense.Almost all 100 soldiers were transferred to the main guard ship, more than 100 people manipulated the crossbow, thunderbolt chariot and racket stick, and more than [-] people dealt with the pirates who got on the ship by chance, while all [-] sailors were transferred to the main attack ship. On this ship, it was fully launched, and the speed of the ship was raised to the highest at no expense of physical strength. Once the sixteen water wheels hidden under the side guards of the ship were launched, they showed great power. Compared with the famous walking boat, this is still in the case that there are not all sailors. If four hundred sailors go into battle according to the standard configuration, it can be said that even walking horses cannot catch up with him.

Facing the fast-moving boats, the pirates reacted exactly as Sun Shao expected. They didn't have any effective countermeasures except to keep their eyes wide open. The sea water is like the fertile land being plowed by an iron plow, exuding a fresh smell.

It's just that these taste a little bloody.

What surprised the pirates even more was that when the building boat passed in front of them, they dropped clay pots one after another. These pots cracked as soon as they hit the ship, and the liquid inside was immediately burned by the fire at the mouth of the pot. Ignite it, and it ignites with a bang. Whether it's a ship or a person, as long as it touches it, it will catch fire without exception.Water and fire are ruthless, and the fear of fire in human nature makes the attacked pirates panic, some beat hard, some jumped into the sea, but no one thought of chasing Sun Shao.Even if there were a few who escaped the attack of the cupping pot and wanted to chase them, they found sadly that although they tried their best, their boats still couldn't catch up with that arrogant giant.

Several pirate leaders couldn't help rubbing their eyes, they really doubted whether they had hallucinations.

Sun Shao's building boat was like a sharp arrow, piercing through the somewhat sparse pirate rear formation at an unbelievable speed, knocking down and igniting countless pirate ships, and then rushed to Zhou Qun before Zhou Qun could react. In front of Zhou Qun's boat, with an order, two crossbow arrows and four or five feather arrows were all shot at Zhou Qun's boat. Immediately afterwards, a huge building boat slammed into Zhou Qun's boat with a loud bang. There was a groan, half of the hull was hit and split, and then was pushed into the sea by the tall ship.

Looking up, Zhou Qun died when he came out of the water again from the back of the building boat. A huge crossbow pierced his body, and three feathered arrows were nailed to his body—two on his chest and one on his chest. throat.He opened his eyes wide and looked at the blue sky. The sky was cloudless and as clean as the sea, but he couldn't see it anymore. His eyes were empty and puzzled. He really couldn't understand why a building boat could be cheaper than a walking boat. quick?

Sun Shao, who successfully implemented the beheading tactic, saw Zhou Qun's body through his clairvoyance, and saw Zhou Qun's warship turned upside down. Then he smiled with satisfaction and handed the clairvoyance to Wei Ping's hand.Wei Ping saw it, and was inexplicably horrified, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.There were too many things that surprised him today, but what surprised him the most was the result in front of him. A large ship rushed into the enemy's line at an unheard of speed, beheaded the opponent's general in one battle, and then walked away unscathed. What kind of record?After thinking about it, only the battle of Guan Yu beheading Yan Liang, which Su Chugui had mentioned to him many times, could be compared, and Guan Yu was the father-in-law of the smiling young man in front of him.

No wonder the arrogant Guan Yu rejected Sun Quan's marriage proposal, but married his daughter to him.

Wei Ping was filled with emotion.

"Zhou Qun is dead, and the pirates have been hit hard again. The resistance for General Su to unify the East China Sea has been reduced a lot." Sun Shao said as he drew his bow and arrow, and shot a pirate fifty paces away. Stretching out in the air, he grabbed a sharp arrow shot by a pirate, put his hand on the bowstring, and shot the pirate who hadn't retracted his tongue with his backhand.

Wei Ping was stunned by what he saw, and forgot to answer Sun Shao's words, until Sun Shao turned around and looked at him with surprise, he swallowed and raised his thumb: "General, what a shame! God and man."

"What the hell?" Sun Shao chuckled, "That kid's arm strength is too weak, he only has eighty steps, and the arrow seems to be floating, boring."

Wei Ping smiled wryly, thinking, you think everyone is like you can open a three-stone bow, the exception of 150 steps is not in vain.Along the way, Sun Shao shot and killed at least ten pirates, and the arrow on Zhou Qun's throat was his masterpiece.Wei Ping was overjoyed that Su Chuke didn't have a heartbeat this time, otherwise, Zhou Qun's end might be his end.

"With the general around, why would the pirates in the East China Sea cause any trouble?" Wei Ping said bitterly.

"Me?" Sun Shao put away his bow, the boat had rushed out of the pirate's position, and the sailors were not strong enough to charge again. Besides, the task of beheading had been completed, and Yue Hai should come out to fight the dog in the water up.He dragged Wei Ping to the Feilu, looked into Wei Ping's eyes, and didn't say a word.Wei Ping felt a little nervous when he saw him, and he couldn't help being respectful.

"What is the commander's order?"

"You're a smart man, I don't need to say too much." Sun Shao's mouth twitched, "You go back to your General Su right away, and tell him that I'm waiting for the good news of his unification of the East China Sea."

Wei Ping frowned: "Although the pirates returned without success this time, the loss was not small, but..."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Sun Shao stopped Wei Ping and said without hesitation: "If he listens to me, the East China Sea will be his in the future. If he can't do it, then don't blame me."

Wei Ping took a deep breath, he heard the self-evident threat from Sun Shao's words, he was forced to go back when he wanted to explain, he hesitated for a moment, bowed and saluted: "Here."

"Go." Sun Shao nodded in satisfaction, and when Wei Ping walked to the side of the boat, he added another sentence: "I will send someone to deliver a boat to you later. When I see the boat, I believe there are all doubts There will be answers."

Wei Ping supported the side of the boat, turned his head to look at Sun Shao, pondered for a while, nodded, got off the boat without saying a word, boarded an unowned boat, and drove away.Seeing Wei Ping's back getting smaller and smaller, Sun Shao's eyes twitched, revealing a sinister smile.

At the entrance of the waterway, Sun Shangxiang was very excited after receiving the signal from Sun Shao. She ordered someone to tell Yue Hai the news that Sun Shao had killed the thief leader. Like a hungry tiger rushing at a sheep, he rushed into the pirate formation and fought.The pirates were dizzy by the sharp attack from the upper ship, and they had not received a reply from Zhou Qun. They were already timid. Now that the navy rushed out again, their morale collapsed. Fortune, turn the boat and run.Yue Hai chased after him endlessly, but it was a pity that his speed could not catch up with the pirates. When he got out of the waterway and came to the wide water, he could only look at the water and sigh, and had to turn around and surround the pirates who had not escaped in time.Looking at the pirates running away with their heads in their arms, they were very happy to cross the sea. This time, there were at least 2000 pirate ships, large and small, and at least [-] prisoners.If you count the ships that have been sunk and the pirates that have been killed, this number is even more impressive.

Yue Hai knew who he should be most grateful for, and when he saw Sun Shao, he greeted him with a smile on his face: "General Tianwei, he really deserves his reputation."

Sun Shao took his hand and dragged him into the flying hut, with a bitter expression on his face: "General Yue, do you want to help me, or do you want to harm me?"

Yue Hai raised his eyebrows: "General, what are you talking about? How can I harm you."

"In this case, General Yue please don't mention me when reporting meritorious service." Sun Shao said earnestly: "You understand the reason here."
