The man had been dead for a long time, and the spine on his back was cut off with one knife. The technique was quite cruel.
Sun Shubo looked at the wounds on the corpse on the boat and concluded on the spot that the injuries must have been caused by weapons such as long knives!
Liang Chuan's heart sank, seeing that it might be those Japanese again!
Xia Dehai immediately sailed the boat to the center of the river.
The fires on the shore were getting bigger and bigger, and they were connected together. All the fishing boats and houses that could be burned were a sea of fire. The shore was in chaos, and there were endless shouts.
At this time, several ships wandering on the river seemed to have discovered Liang Chuan's treasure ship, and they immediately pounced on it like flies.
Xia Dehai originally just wanted to quietly watch the changes on this river, but he didn't expect these people to want to attack Liang Chuan and his treasure ship!
Xia Dehai originally wanted to use the ship's artillery to cheer up these water thieves and send them to the west. Liang Chuan immediately rejected this idea. Firstly, he did not want to expose the firepower he had. Secondly, using cannons to kill mosquitoes was a bit fussy. There are still thousands of miles of sea journey ahead, so it is not cost-effective to waste artillery ammunition here!
According to Liang Chuan's idea, he just needs to get rid of them and continue traveling south. There is no need to get entangled with them!
The treasure ship raised its sails. At this time, the north wind was howling hard in September. Driven by the strong wind on the river, the ship's speed immediately increased, and it suddenly distanced itself from those small boats with small sails and short masts.
In the darkness, the treasure ship ran wildly on the river like a prey. The boat behind it gradually distanced itself but did not give up. It actually chased after it without stopping for a moment!
What kind of operation is this? The people on the boat are dumbfounded. They won’t give up even if they can’t catch up. Do they really want to eat a few cannonballs?
The treasure ship sailed out of the hundreds of miles of waterway, and the ships behind it were still following. Xia Dehai immediately realized that something was wrong, and there might be an ambush ahead!
Sure enough, after sailing for more than a hundred miles, the vast water surface was close at hand. There was a fleet of ships at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Although the ship was not large, it was only half the size of the treasure ship, and it was estimated to be tens of meters long. Such ships have already been It has the ability to go far across the ocean!
Although these boats are small, there are more than ten of them. They are lined up on the river and directly block the river!
There is indeed an ambush!
Sha Dehai immediately shouted loudly: "Pull out the cannons and prepare to fight!"
There were strong enemies in front and pursuers behind. More than ten warships at the river mouth in front saw Liang Chuan's treasure ship rushing towards them. Their signal lights flickered on and off. All the more than ten ships moved and formed a half-moon shape to outflank the treasure ship!
"Does the boss use cannon?"
Liang Chuan looked at it and shouted: "Of course, why don't you keep it for the New Year? There are too many enemies. Do you have confidence?"
Xia Dehai grinned and licked his tongue and said, "If you don't use a cannon, you won't have any confidence at all. If you have a cannon, just shoot!"
At this time, Liang Shiguang also stood up, gathered all the arrows on the boat together and said to Liang Chuan: "You are responsible for hand-to-hand combat, I will take care of the rest!"
The appearance of Liang Shiguang doubled everyone's confidence. With him at a distance, enemies would not be afraid of being unable to defeat them!
Xia Dehai shouted: "Adjust the sails and face the enemy on the left!"
The sailors were ordered to pull up the long ropes controlling the sails and masts, adjust the angle of the ship, and the ship began to slowly turn around!
In the cabin, the sailors pushed the cannon to the window, and pointed the black muzzle at the approaching enemy ships one after another!
These enemy ships are Japanese and Japanese ships are not bad!
After the food harvest in the island country after August, there will be more idle people in the country. With the help of the north wind, groups of Japanese people follow the north wind and go south to catch the autumn wind!
As long as the number of people is more than a hundred, they can sweep through a small county town and steal more gold and silver than they can earn from decades of hard work in the fields. This undoubtedly attracts countless Japanese people.
That night, the Japanese took the stolen boats and attacked several wealthy counties in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Taicang was one of them!
No Japanese have come here before, and no one could have predicted that these Japanese would come along the river!
There was no naval force in the imperial court, otherwise these scattered small boats would not be able to stop them. But this time the Japanese were very powerful and sent more than ten warships at once to block the river. The local people had nowhere to escape even if they wanted to! I can only watch as they burn down their docks and fishing boats.
There were too many Japanese, and they were less vicious than the imperial army. The government organized a resistance, but many local officials were killed. The Japanese swept through Taicang County. I heard that a large merchant ship was coming up the river. People had never seen such a merchant ship in their lives. They picked up the boat and immediately chased it down.
There are also their warships at the river mouth downstream. They have blocked the river mouth long ago, so they are not afraid of escaping through this trade route!
This pursuit covers hundreds of miles of waterway!
The Japanese drooled when they saw this treasure ship. Such a big ship can run so fast. Not to mention how many treasures are on board, this ship alone is worth a fortune! Their current shortcoming is that their equipment is too backward. Their ships can move offshore, so be extremely careful when sailing into the ocean. If you encounter a typhoon or big waves, they may be smashed!
Seize this ship, where can't they go from now on?
"You can't run away!" The Japanese leader stood on the bow of the boat and watched the boat slowly turn around, wondering where you were going to run away!
When the two groups got closer, the Japanese leader used a trick and asked the captured Song people to stand on the bow of the boat and shout, pretending to be a Song Dynasty ship!
"Hey, stop the big boat in front of us. We are doing business on the river. Our boat is broken. Please save us!"
Relying on deception and tricks, the Japanese always brought the boats close, then used hooks and ropes to entangle the two boats, and then relied on their superior numbers to eat the merchant ship. Relying on this trick, countless merchant ships were damaged, but this time they encountered The ones arriving were Xia Dehai and Liang Chuan, who were both water pirates!
Xia Dehai sneered in his heart, if you were serious about business, how would you follow Xianqing so far in the middle of the night, chasing after you with all your might, and would your comrades be there to support you? "
There happen to be cannons on both sides of the treasure ship. When you get close, I'll give you a shot!
Xia Dehai said in a bad way: "You guys come closer, I don't like the look on your boat. Could it be that you are a fake businessman?"
The Japanese hinted at the coerced Song people and said, "Say quickly, we are good people!"
The kidnapped man had no choice but to shout from a distance: "Yes, there are only a few sailors on the boat, help us! We will give you money!"
"Thank you then, come up quickly, our place is very spacious!"
The ship behind was chasing fiercely, and suddenly rushed up to the Liangchuan treasure ship. When Xia Dehai saw that it was within shooting range, his face showed a fierce light and said: "Let me go!"
A row of five artillery guns fired in unison, and violent roars echoed on the river. The ten large ships in front thought it was the people nearby setting off fireworks and ignored them, but the chasing small boats behind them were doomed!
Five shells passed by, hitting two of them directly and blowing them up on the spot. The remaining one was so frightened that it immediately adjusted its sails and prepared to escape. The sailors were so frightened that their hands were soft and they had no ability to turn the ship!
boom! Five cannons were fired together again, and there were no pursuing boats behind the river!
Liu Jinyan was trembling with fear inside the boat. He didn't know what the situation was like outside, but the cabin was deafening!
Two volleys made three small boats disappear from the river, followed by the remaining dozen warships!
In order to ensure the hit rate of the artillery, Liang Chuan repeatedly asked Xia Dehai to let these warships get closer before firing. There was still a distance of two to three hundred meters from the opponent's warship, so the ship seemed extremely huge, and the ships could not be lined up in sequence. Open, the density is extremely high, even if you fire with your eyes closed, you can still hit!
Moreover, these warships had no idea that the small boats they were chasing on the opposite side had been turned into cannon fodder by artillery. They were greedy for the money of the treasure ship, so they kept moving closer to the treasure ship. Unknowingly, the target was already huge!
Xia Dehai's eyes gradually revealed ferociousness!
put!
The five artillery pieces that have just been fired have been moved to the left cabin! After firing a cannon, the sailor would drag it to the side and refill the gunpowder. After filling, it would be pushed out. There was no need to aim, it would be fired directly after it was lit!
Boom boom boom boom!
After one round of firing, after a few breaths, another row of firing started, and ten artillery pieces were fired!
The shells hit the deck, hull, mast and strings of the enemy ship! The opponent's warships are no better than the small boats just now. A single cannonball can send these small boats on the road. These cannonballs only blasted huge holes in the hull, causing fires, killing countless people, or causing sea water to pour in. !
Although there is no way to achieve a one-hit kill, the damage caused is extremely huge and has already cast a shadow on the enemy!
These Japanese people didn't even understand how the damage was caused. They just thought it was thunder coming from the sky and exploding on their ship. But after the two volleys, they looked up at the sky. The moon and stars were sparse, and there was not a single cloud in the sky. Thunder is coming!
The man in the boat quickly replenished the ammunition, and after extending the black muzzle out of the gun window, the muzzle began to spray fire thunder again!
Only then did the Japanese realize that it was not the thunder from the sky, but the roar from the gun barrels on the ship!
The Japanese have too many warships. When they saw these artifacts on Liangchuan's treasure ship, their first thought was not to escape, but to communicate with each other in Japanese. They must capture this ship. There is what they want on it. arms!
Damn it, there are people like this!
If you are not afraid of death, then go die!
The artillery kept firing, and the situation on the river was completely one-sided. Because the Japanese were not equipped with long weapons, they could only watch being bombarded. They also had bows and arrows on hand, but they had not invented bows and arrows with a range of two to three hundred meters!
Liang Chuan looked at the Japanese who were getting closer and closer. He picked up the Mo Dao that he had not used for many years and prepared to fight to the death with these Japanese. However, the power of the gunpowder was too great. It was like firing directly face to face. One shell after another, the Japanese's The warships sank into the river one after another!
Finally, one ship took advantage of the wind and turned around the left side of the ship, trying to outflank them.
Suddenly, the artillery that was firing smoothly one after another suddenly stopped, and then there was a thunderous roar, and a big hole was blown open on the left side of the treasure ship!
Liang Chuan was shocked. The deck was blown up, causing sawdust to fly. There was a rain of blood. Liang Chuan wiped his face, and the blood rain was still warm!
Liang Chuan and Xia Dehai were almost the same. They rushed to the explosion site and saw that a sailor was blown to pieces, and a cannon exploded in the chamber. The force directly lifted the deck!
"Ahhh!" I thought that the performance of this artillery was stable enough, but I didn't expect that there was still a problem at this critical juncture!
Xia Dehai's ears were bleeding due to the explosion. He shook his head and ignored the roar in his ears, shouting: "Clean it up quickly, keep releasing it, and blow up these beasts to death!"
There was a sudden change in the treasure ship. These Japanese people became energetic as soon as they arrived, and they rushed to the treasure ship even more energetically!
The ropes on the Japanese ship were thrown up. When the management team saw it, they all picked up steel knives and went to the side of the ship to cut the ropes!
Many Japanese people swung ropes directly from their masts!
The cannon on the right side of the ship has been moved to the left side, and now we can only rely on hand-to-hand combat!
The battle was so fast and violent that the Japanese were like wild beasts. They were all holding Japanese swords that were very light in weight and sharp enough to be picked up with their mouths. They all jumped onto the deck without fear of death and met the people on the deck. Man, draw your knife and chop him immediately!
"Liang Shiguang, take care of the people coming up above!" Sun Shubo shouted. His weapon was a Japanese sword confiscated from the hands of the Japanese. His short body rolled into the enemy formation, slashing left and right, and cut down several of them at once. Japanese!
Puff puff puff, only a few muffled sounds were heard, and it was unclear how Liang Shiguang took action. The man above his head was shot down by an arrow before he could reach the treasure ship!
Liang Chuan's eyes turned red, and he rushed forward with a huge Mo Dao!
A Mo Dao versus a Japanese Dao is like a machete versus a pencil sharpener. The Japanese only dare to dodge, but don't dare to knock their swords upwards, and they will break as soon as they hit!
Liang Chuan's sword has no unified generals, and Mo's sword is full of dead souls. One is slashed to the left, and the other is swept to the right! He used the move of opening the big sword wide. When the Japanese saw it, they only dared to go to Sun Shubo and the members of the Chengguan Brigade!
The Japanese leader got on the boat and saw that this was no merchant ship. This was clearly a slaughterhouse. These people were all well-equipped, including the Mo Dao. .
"Could it be the God of War Minamoto Yoshitsune!"
This Japanese was the general in the Genji army back then. Now that he has returned to Nanshan, they don't have to fight. However, he has countless soldiers and a large number of warships at hand. To support his group of people, he brought the Japanese to Song Dynasty. Country robbery!
Today I actually met the God of War who is said to have come to Song Dynasty!
Minamoto Yoshitsune's Great Sword and Benkei's Great Iron Rod have now become domestic artifacts, exclusive to the two gods of war. Their achievements and combat effectiveness have been deified time and time again. Moreover, the Japanese leader had met Liang Chuan back then. , it’s absolutely unmistakable, it’s Minamoto Yoshitsune!
"Get out! Get out!"
The Japanese who climbed onto the treasure ship heard the leader's order and immediately jumped off the treasure ship, but there were still dozens of corpses left on the ship!
With so many Japanese and such strong cooperation ability, there are already countless heroes on Liangchuan's ship. With Sun Shubo and Liang Shiguang, and the support of artillery, they can barely catch these Japanese by surprise. If it were another merchant ship, they would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago. !
The Japanese escaped very quickly. The three warships that could still sail fled into the vast night. The other eleven warships had already sunk into the waves thousands of miles away!
They were able to let these Japanese people board the ship. What a miserable victory!
The worst thing is the artillery on the ship!
