Chapter 748 Head-to-Head Confrontation
The "Water Ghosts" passed under the shadow of their own warships one by one and came to the shadow of the fire ship. The closer they got, they felt the temperature rise suddenly. The flames on the fire ship continued to burn, making the surrounding air and the river surface become scorching hot. However, the water temperature was only warm at best, which made these water ghosts feel a little comfortable.
A water ghost stared at the fire ship in front of him, swinging his legs slightly, and slowly floated up under the fire ship. The temperature in the water rose again, but fortunately it was barely bearable.
He held the bottom of the boat with one hand, and held the sword with the other hand, aiming at the bottom of the boat and stabbing it hard.
chisel!
The sword kept cutting at the bottom of the boat, and soon an irregular small hole was opened, and the river water immediately poured into it. But the water ghost was unwilling to give up and continued to cut the bottom of the fire ship with his sword.
Several water ghosts worked hard to cut the boat together, and holes appeared on the bottom of the boat. More and more river water seeped into the hull. The fireships were drawing more and more water, and the water level was falling.
A water ghost pointed to the bottom of the boat and then pointed below to his companions, indicating that the boat was about to sink and they should move away quickly.
The water ghosts of Jiangdong Army stopped drilling the boats one after another, swung their legs, opened and closed their arms, and quickly fled from this place.
On the surface of the river, only the water level of the fireships was continuously dropping, and they slowly sank into the water. As soon as the flames that were still burning before touched the river, thick white gas suddenly appeared, and for a moment it seemed like a huge fire boat. The fog filled the air, and it lost its previous power.
The scuttled fireships sank into the water one by one. No matter how raging the flames were, they quickly extinguished when they came into contact with the water, and all disappeared without a trace. Several Jiangdong Army warships that had been contacted before also burst into flames. The Jiangdong soldiers in the water hurriedly splashed water to put out the fire.
"Damn it!"
Although Taishi Ci was so anxious that he chiseled away the fire ship, he still had an angry look on his face. This was the first time that Jiang Xia Navy had made him so miserable, so he was naturally furious.
"Everyone on board, come on board!"
One by one, the Jiangdong Army warships hoisted their sails again and rushed forward under the strong wind.
"Bang the drum!" Huang Gai yelled.
Boom, boom, boom! The war drums on the ship rumbled, and the atmosphere of war soon enveloped the nearby river with the sound of war drums. Countless Jiangdong soldiers were excited and clenched their weapons. Some bold Jiangdong soldiers even took off their clothes. A, dropped his helmet, revealing only a bunt and a turban, always waiting for the hand-to-hand combat.
"Father, do our troops want to fight?" Huang She asked Huang Zu for instructions.
Huang Zu groaned, still thinking in his heart.
Huang She advised: "Father, the Jiangdong navy will charge forward soon. You must make plans in advance whether to fight or retreat."
".war!"
Huang Zu snorted coldly: "The enemy army only has two or three thousand men. If our army is too timid to fight now, how can we gain a foothold in Jiangxia in the future?"
Huang She nodded and said, "My child, let's beat the drum now!"
Boom, boom, boom! The sound of drums also sounded in the Jiangxia Navy. The thumping drum beat seemed to be getting closer to the beating rhythm of the heart. It was because these Jiangxia sailors had been defeated by Jiangdong soldiers before. Under the orders of the war drums, their morale also rose. And rise.
If the enemy has fewer troops, we may not be unable to win!
Boom, boom, boom! The warships of the two armies continued to approach, and the soldiers of both sides could hear each other's war drums. The soldiers of the two armies each held their swords and stared fiercely at the other side's soldiers, as if they could knock down the people on the opposite side!
The two armies were no more than a hundred steps apart. Taishi Ci held a spear and a halberd in each hand, with a majestic look on his face.
Boom!
The two warships collided hard, and the soldiers on the ship were all shaken. Some weak sailors were unable to stand still, and they actually turned over from the ship and fell, causing a splash of water on the boss.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The shouts of killing from both armies rang out at the same time, and countless warships collided fiercely together, as if a small piece of land was formed above the water, creating a gladiatorial arena for tigers and wolves to fight bravely.
Bang bang bang! Pieces of wooden planks stretched out and were thrown from one warship to that warship. Jiangdong's soldiers shouted angrily, holding swords in their hands, and rushed towards the enemy warships without fear of death.
"Archers shoot!"
The Jiangxia archers unfurled their bows and nocked arrows, aimed at the Jiangdong soldiers swarming from the shipboard, took aim, and fired a volley.
Whoosh whoosh!
The side plank is extremely narrow and can only be advanced but not retreated. Facing the flying arrows, Jiang Dongbing gritted his teeth and rushed forward. Now it depends on luck. Who is unlucky and who is shot, who is lucky and who is unscathed, but no one can retreat!
"ah!"
Whoosh!
Screams could be heard from time to time among the soldiers in Jiangdong. It was obvious that some of the unlucky ones were hit by arrows, and one of them fell into the water unsteadily due to the pain. However, Jiang Dongbing, who was not shot, was not afraid. Instead, a look of determination flashed in his eyes and he accelerated forward.
"Get out of the way!"
A loud shout was like thunder on the ground. Taishi Ci suddenly jumped forward and stepped on a side plank. He held a halberd in his left hand and a gun in his right hand. He maintained balance on the narrow side plank with his legs flying. It was like a gust of wind flying on the side board, rushing towards the Jiangxia warship on the opposite side.
"Here comes the enemy general and archer!"
When the Jingzhou officers saw Tai Shici charging into the formation in person, they were surprised and happy, and hurriedly gave orders. Dozens of archers raised their bows and nocked arrows together, aiming at Tai Shici. He was a general of the Jiangdong Army. If he could kill the enemy general, there would be a big reward.
Dozens of powerful bows were aimed at Taishi Ci at the same time. They only waited for an order to shoot at Taishi Ci. However, Taishi Ci seemed to turn a blind eye to these bows and arrows, and just stepped on the side planks and rushed forward.
"shoot!"
A palm fell heavily, and dozens of archers received the order and loosened their bow strings.
Whoosh whoosh! Dozens of cold stars suddenly bloomed, accompanied by an incessant sound, and shrouded Taishi Ci, as if a big net had been opened, covering his head.
Ding ding ding!
Facing the incoming arrows, Taishi Ci remained calm in the face of danger. He held his spears and halberds together and jingled the incoming arrows. He protected his face with both hands and shot the remaining arrows in the air. Most of his body is embedded in armor leaves.
As a general, Taishi Ci was able to personally charge into battle, so his armor must be made of fine iron. How could an ordinary arrow penetrate it?
"Well"
Taishi Ci groaned. It turned out that a heavy arrow penetrated the nail leaf and penetrated into the flesh. He couldn't help but frown.
His eyes seemed to be stained with blood, and he looked forward fiercely. The Jiangxia sailor opposite him shuddered when Tai Shici glared at him, and his legs trembled.
It seems that I have messed with someone I shouldn't mess with.
