There was a huge chaos on the lake. The bandit army behind did not know it yet and was driving a small boat to follow the big ship. The stormy waves rolled up and many small boats were overturned. Some of them hit the big ship. The bandit fleet was completely in chaos.
"Boss, no, it's just water weeds...it's all water weeds!" A sailor rolled onto the bow of the ship and screamed in despair.
Zhou Xiong's expression changed drastically. He lay down on the bow of the boat and looked down. He saw that the water wheel was covered with green water plants, covering the entire water wheel and axle, making it impossible to move.
"Liu Qi...he, he actually uses water plants?!"
Zhou Xiong's heart sank to the bottom, and he finally understood that what was thrown into the cabin just now must be the water plants collected by the officers and soldiers.
The most important thing in daily maintenance of the spiritual dragon boat is to clean up the water plants wrapped around the axle. If there are too many, it will affect the movement. Liu Qi collected the water plants to deal with the spiritual dragon boat, which was a fatal blow.
Dong dong dong——
At this moment, the drums on the Jingzhou navy warships were beating loudly, the officers and soldiers issued the order to attack, and the building ships and sterns rode the wind and waves and came galloping.
Gan Ning had been waiting on the boat for a long time. Hearing the sound of drums, he raised his knife and shouted: "Kill!"
Command the warship to rush towards the enemy ship in the center. In addition, the naval force is also divided into three small teams to attack directly into the chaotic bandit army. Huang Zhong and Yang Ling each lead an army and board the ship to fight.
The building ship slammed into the immobile spiritual dragon ship. Gan Ning threw the iron rope to hook the railing, jumped like a spiritual ape, and climbed onto the enemy ship.
At this time, the large ships of the Jingzhou Navy became giants and ran rampant among the rebels. Arrows rained down from the ships, mixed with fire arrows, and the rebels were killed until they howled like ghosts and wolves.
Without the protection of the Lingjiao boat, although the pirate army was skilled in sailing, the officers and soldiers were also not weak and well-trained. They were no match for them in a head-on confrontation. The pirate boats fled and collided with each other, and the people on board fell into the water like dumplings.
Zhou Xiong was so anxious that he was spinning around on the boat, but the Lingjiao boat was also spinning on the lake, unable to move at all. He watched helplessly as the officers and soldiers rushed to the bow of the boat, unable to advance or retreat.
Seeing the large ships ramming across the water and causing heavy losses to his men, Zhou Xiong shouted: "Kisame goes out and cuts through those large ships, leaving no one behind."
The men immediately raised the flag. On the small boat swimming in the distance, Kisame saw the signal and immediately jumped into the water. They all wore fish skins and were as flexible as fish in the water, and swam straight to the bottom of the officers and men's boats.
Gan Ning led his troops to the rebel command ship, took off the two halberds from his back, and rushed forward with large strides. The two halberds danced, and the thieves screamed and fell to the ground, like harvesting straw, and chopped down seven or eight people in a blink of an eye.
Seeing Gan Ning's bravery, the thieves on the boat did not dare to step forward to stop him, so they all retreated. After a while, they gathered together, some panicked and didn't know what to do, and hid directly in the cabin, while some jumped directly into the water.
Gan Ning was chasing forward when suddenly a spear was thrust out from the cabin. He hurriedly ducked sideways and crossed the iron halberd. The tip of the spear pierced and grazed his chest, causing a string of sparks to appear.
Zhou Xiong rushed out of the cabin, stared at Gan Ning, and sneered: "Jinfan thief Gan Ning, you are such a stinker!"
Gan Ning hated people calling him a thief. Hearing this, his sword eyebrows stood up and he shouted loudly and struck at him with his iron halberd.
Zhou Xiong snorted slightly and raised his spear to parry. Unexpectedly, the spear handle was made of wood and could not block the blow at all. It was broken with a click.
Zhou Xiong was shocked, hurriedly hid in the cabin, and pulled out a knife to fight. Gan Ning blocked the door, and the two of them fought in a small space. There was a cold light flashing and the sound of the swords clashing constantly came from the room.
However, Zhou Xiong was defeated by Gan Ning and was unable to fight back. He squatted half-crouched in the low cabin and resisted.
Gan Ning held the halberd in his right hand, clamped the blade, and suddenly kicked it away, hitting Zhou Xiong's heart. Zhou Xiong fell to the ground with a miserable cry, and the sword flew away from his hand.
Just as he was holding his stomach and preparing to beg for mercy, before he could take a breath, Gan Ning had already stabbed him with the knife in his backhand. He saw a flash of cold light, the blade stabbed his chest, and he died with a miserable scream.
By the time Gan Ning came out of the cabin, his subordinates had already killed the bandits, causing them to run away with their heads covered. They all jumped off the ship to escape, and completely controlled the spirit dragon ship.
At this time, Huang Zhong and Yang Ling also led their troops onto the big ship respectively. The officers and soldiers cut down every enemy they encountered. Yang Ling had also been defeated by the Dongting bandits. At this time, he took revenge and attacked without mercy. He killed the panicked bandits one by one.
The Jingzhou army had been ridiculed by the Dongting bandits for many years, and they were all holding back their anger. At this time, they boarded the ship to kill the enemy, and their morale was as high as a rainbow.
Liu Qi watched the entire situation from the command ship in the distance. The Lingjiao boat was stuck on the lake and could not move. The thief army had lost its biggest support. The thief army was no match for the officers and soldiers at all, and victory was already guaranteed.
At this time, the hull of the ship shook again, and there were muffled sounds from the water. Liu Xian said angrily: "This thief is so brave. He is not enough to deal with the high-rise ships in front, and he dares to attack the main ship."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "The thief has been rampant in Dongting for many years, but he has never thought about making progress and has repeated his old tricks many times. How can he succeed?"
In the past few days, he ordered people to salvage aquatic plants and put them in the small boats, waiting for the spiritual dragon boat to chase them. He threw the aquatic plants into the water and entangled the water wheel. The big ship was completely disabled and could not move even if the sail was raised. .
In addition, they also cut moso bamboo, split it into pieces and wrapped them on the bottom of the boat. The defense of the boat was as strong as that of the Lingjiao boat. If the thieves wanted to cut the boat, they would have to spend four or five times as much effort.
But at the same time, Liu Qi also prepared fishing net iron chains, which were covered with iron hooks, similar to fish hooks, with different sizes. He only waited for Kisame to reach the bottom of the boat and immediately dropped the iron chains and fishing nets.
At this time, all the ships were moving among the enemy ships, and the iron hooks were swimming around. As long as the thieves were caught by the iron hooks, they would have no chance of escaping. No matter whether they tore the water support or were injured, they would lose their mobility.
Hearing the sound from the bottom of the boat, Liu Qi smiled coldly and ordered: "Let's move!"
As the flag was hoisted on the ship's watchtower, all the fleets began to move out and surrounded the bandits in a mighty manner. The other two naval forces bypassed the lake and went straight to the port of Wangyue Island.
The thieves came in force, and the Lingjiao boat, which they had always been proud of, was paralyzed and fell into complete panic. In addition, Zhou Xiong was killed, and no one was commanding them. They all fled for their lives in boats.
Sure enough, the lake was in chaos at this time, and the thieves were running for their lives. Only those Kisame didn't know what was going on, and they were showing off their power under the water, and they all swam to the bottom of the boat with water spikes and chisels.
On the building boat, the helmsman felt the vibration at the bottom of the boat, and immediately threw the fishing net and long rope hung with iron hooks into the water, and steered the boat back and forth.
Kisame was currently working hard to dig out the bottom of the boat, but found that the bottom of the boat was wrapped in bamboo pieces, with little success. Just as a few people were working together, countless fishing nets and iron chains and ropes suddenly fell from all around.
We still didn't understand why, but as the boat moved, some people were caught in fishing nets and chains, and they discovered that they were covered with iron hooks, just like fishing. The thieves were immediately frightened and hurriedly dispersed around.
