The news was reported layer by layer, and it didn't take long for it to reach the captain level.
After some discussion, the instructions from above were quickly sent back.
While remaining vigilant, put out the fire first.
After receiving the instruction, Mafune looked back at the vast sea of fire, and his head was suddenly as big as those of two.
In fact, compared to melee combat, getting water and extinguishing fire is their specialty.
After all, a fire on a battleship is a serious matter. If the fire is not put out in time, the entire ship will burn into a big coffin in minutes.
However, the Starfall Legion was so elusive that it was indeed difficult to extinguish the fire while also guarding against their sneak attacks.
But no matter how difficult it is, you have to work harder and work harder.
Otherwise, the trebuchet over there will hit the dead again with rocks.
Get water and put out the fire!
As soon as the order was given, all the soldiers on the shore breathed a sigh of relief.
They no longer rushed into the fire door, but quickly split into two parts.
The crossbowmen crouched behind the shield bearers and stared at the fire ahead, wary of the Starfall Legion's sneak attack.
The rest formed human chains and began delivering water bucket by bucket.
It’s just that the barrel is not big, and there is quite a distance from the shore to the fire point. The bucket bounced along the way, and by the time it reached the last soldier, there was not much water left in the full bucket.
squeak~
When this little bit of water was thrown into the fire, it made a puff of smoke, more like peeing, then disappeared.
"General, brothers have worked very hard. It's just that the fire point is too far away and the water acquisition failed."
Mafune looked ugly.
"Isn't it reasonable that I should teach you how to put out fires?"
He threw himself on the ground and stomped on the soft ground, "Since the water can't put out the fire, why don't you quickly send some people to dig sand to put out the fire?"
"Yes!" The messenger shrank his neck and ran away.
Compared with fetching water, there is no need to worry about bumps when digging sand.
It's just that the soldiers didn't have enough tools at hand. In the end, the real ship sighed and asked people to make wooden shovels while letting the soldiers dig up the ground with their hands.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.
Although the method was stupid, after the efforts of countless soldiers, the outermost fire began to slowly extinguish.
Qin Guman held up the telescope and could see clearly, but he was helpless.
Soon, the fire gates used to lead the way to gather enemies and the first few fire pits had been extinguished by the Japanese pirates and could no longer serve as an ambush.
"Qian Chang, without these fire pit formations, we wouldn't be able to stop so many Japanese pirates. Instead of watching helplessly, why don't we go up and push them and harvest their heads?"
Qin Guman shook his head slowly, "There's no rush."
Now the Japanese pirates' bows and crossbowmen have gathered enough people and set up a formation, always on guard against them.
The Starfall soldiers will be able to kill a few people when they rush out, but there is a high probability that they will not be able to come back.
Qin Guman didn't want to do this kind of loss-making business.
"It's getting dark soon, time is on our side. Go ahead and ask the brothers to continue their long-range sneak attacks. Kill every one you can."
Moreover, after shooting an arrow, you must move quickly, otherwise the enemy's arrow rain will soon cover you.
"Understood." Several teams of archers responded hehey.
They moved forward furtively, drew their bows and fired arrows, not caring whether they missed the enemy or not, and quickly retreated.
This method is not very lethal, and usually only a dozen or even a few unlucky people are hit.
But for the Japanese soldiers, it was a kind of mental torture. Everyone is afraid that they will become the next target, and they can't help but hesitate when approaching the fire point with a bucket or sandbag.
When the news reached the real ship, he was not surprised but overjoyed.
Ha ha.
"Go and tell the brothers that we succeeded. The enemy has no choice but to sneak up on us and try to scare us."
"Don't be afraid, everyone, as long as the fire in front of them is extinguished, they will have nowhere to escape."
"Yes!" The soldiers from all directions cheered up and responded loudly.
Mafune stared straight ahead, his ears raised high.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, there was nothing but the crackling sound of fire.
"General, the Xingluo people are as cunning as foxes. Have they retreated quietly now that they have seen that the situation is overwhelming?"
"This..." Zhenfeng was also a little uncertain.
It was here that the wind of disorder began to blow again.
Phew~
The fire swayed, seemed to be blown more strongly by the wind, and was pressing southward.
The closest ship was suddenly moved by a wave of heat and quickly took a few steps back.
What's this wind blowing about?
I almost got burned...
He complained casually and glanced at the dim sky subconsciously.
Huh!
what is that?
Before the real ship could react,
Tweet~
Shrill alarms sounded in all directions.
Enemy attack, trebuchet attack, everyone needs to take cover!
Hold!
Mafune reacted quickly, rolling and crawling to a few bags of freshly packed sandbags, and quickly squatted down while holding on to the shield in his hand.
The others were not slow to respond. No longer caring about their superiority or inferiority, they rushed over one after another and crowded closely with him.
On top of their heads were layer after layer of shields and even sandbags, forming a small fortress.
God Amaterasu, please don't get hit by a stone bullet...
Several people were muttering something to each other, looking at each other in fear.
After fighting for so long, they have figured out the power of Yunchuiren's long-range trebuchet.
Although there are many layers of shields and sandbags hastily stacked on top of the head, they are not actually used.
As long as you are hit by a bigger rock, you will basically die...
After a while, several people blinked and couldn't help but push up the shields in their hands.
The shield is not broken, seems to have escaped?
"Something's wrong." Someone suddenly woke up. "There was just rustling outside, and it seemed... there was no sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Could it be that someone blew the whistle by mistake?"
Dry.
Blow the whistle by mistake? There is obviously a spy.
Mafune cursed, decisively lifted his shield and climbed out.
There is no way. Although he is only a temporary leader, it is not appropriate to squat trembling all the time. It will really affect his personal image.
And the most important thing is to catch the spies who blew the whistle as soon as possible.
He raised his head and looked around.
However, before he could see what was happening, the real ship felt something floating by.
Coupled with the wind blowing, foreign objects suddenly entered his eyes, which were itchy and spicy, and tears suddenly burst out of his eyes.
"Ouch. What the hell, my eyes..."
"What's going on? I can't see it either."
…
In the chaos someone screamed, "Sand, someone is throwing sand in the sky."
"No, all that the Starfall Legion's trebuchet throws is sand and dust."
Mafune was rubbing his eyes, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt cold in his heart.
He could no longer care about the pain in his eyes and shouted loudly, "Everyone, pay attention, the enemy is about to attack. Hold together and resist."
As if echoing Mafune's words.
Whoosh!
Countless arrows pierced the air and flew over like lightning.
Ahhhh.
The Japanese pirate soldiers closest to the fire point were still rubbing their eyes, but they had been hit by arrows one after another, and suddenly fell down one by one with screams.
"Starfall!"
Cries of killing rang out from all directions.
The Xingluo soldiers had been waiting for this moment, and roared out one after another, slashing down the bewildered enemy with their swords.
Worse.
Zhenfeng didn't understand Yunchui's language, but only the word "Xingluo" was familiar to him, and he felt frightened when he heard it.
Gotta run.
Run or die!
He decisively put the shield in his hand back to protect his back.
Then he quickly turned around in a circle, finally chose a direction with the darkest light, and ran forward.
As for the command, let's wait for the general on the ship.
