"Okay, steward, you just have to wait and see! If we can't capture the enemy ship later, I won't say anything else. Everything below will be at your command. Whether to fight or retreat, I will follow your orders. But for now, I'll ask you to stay in charge of our own ship. , provide us with cannon cover..." Fan Huzi nodded when he saw Gu Wenlai, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and turned around to start arranging various matters for the Tie Tiao Gang's battle. However, just as he was covered with heavy He was wearing a quilt, holding a machete in his mouth, and was about to lead his team to launch a new round of charge. His immediate superior, Gu Wenlai, stopped him again.
"Commander Fan, wait a moment, there is another prerequisite for Gu. I hope you can agree..."
"Uh?! What are the prerequisites?" Fan Huzi was very shocked. Now this has reached the point where he has to take action. He, Gu Wen Lai Gu, what is the important matter that has to be followed at this juncture? Speak for yourself! However, out of respect for his identity (he first followed his host Kang Ling and was Kang Ling's absolute confidant) and the discipline of the fleet, even if he was ready to go, Fan Huzi had to suspend his attack and listen carefully. Come from the words of your immediate boss.
"Commander Fan, although I don't object to launching another forceful attack on Gu, you must agree to one point. Otherwise, even if you try to offend your colleagues, Gu will not agree to risk the lives of his subordinates..." Gu Wenlaiye He was not a fool, and when he saw the impatience and anxiety on Fan Huzi's face due to the obstruction of his offensive, he didn't say too much, but happily put forward his own ideas.
"Then this attack will be led by Gu, and you will help from the side..."
"Manager, you!!" Fan Huzi was very surprised when he heard Gu Wenlai's words, but after a short and careful consideration, he finally agreed with Gu Wenlai's idea! There is no other reason. In Gu Wenlai, this person is short in stature and has very strong skills. He is the perfect candidate for this gang to fight! And if I can cooperate with him in this gang-hopping operation, then maybe it will work!
"Yan Bin, after we launch the attack later, you will command all the gunners and gunners on the ship. Gu will need your full protection by then, do you understand?" The plan had been set, and the two of them were They are not procrastinators. After explaining the matter of staying behind, Gu Wenlai began to put on a thick wet quilt with the help of his subordinates. Together with Fan Huzi, he led his subordinates to launch a new round of attacks on the enemy ships. Charge!
"The slave soldiers come forward, prepare long poles, archers throw to cover, and ax hands prepare to cut off the springboard!" The second master saw through his clairvoyance that the enemy on the bird ship had laid the springboard and then launched another charge on his own ship. He felt in his heart He didn't take it seriously, and just loudly issued orders to his subordinates to fight.
"Commander Fan, you lead the men to attract the enemy's polearms. As for the archers, leave them to Gu!" The sound of the pirate's axe-hand chopping the iron hook on the top of the springboard was heard in his ears. On the springboard, Gu Wenlai, who observed the situation ahead through the holes reserved in the wet quilt, jumped left and right to avoid the long poles sent by the enemy's slave soldiers, while still giving instructions to Fan Hu and others. next step.
"Understood!" In just a short moment, the stormtroopers led by Gu and Fan quickly ended the six or seven meters distance between the two ships. However, without outstanding skills, the vast majority of the sailors were unable to break through the enemy. A dense array of long poles! However, what is certain is that these people do not include Gu Wenlai, who is as strong as an ape. His abilities developed from long-term living at sea have attracted the attention of even the fierce shark thief who is a hero of the sea! In just a short moment, almost no one knew how the short Baotou man broke through the obstruction of the slave soldiers and came to the deck. You must know that the nine-foot-long (ie 2.95 meters) long weapon in the hands of the slave soldiers of Fierce Shark Village )'s long poles are not just for free. More than a dozen nine-foot long poles held high can instantly form a tight array of spears. When they are poked out one after another, they can almost block the enemy's attack from any angle! It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the large spear formation reaches a certain scale, no one can break through without any injuries, not even the strong Fan Huzi, and even less so his men!
However, Gu Wenlai did it, and he did it with his excellent skills and quick response ability! It can be said unabashedly that from the moment the spear formation was broken through, the failure of the entire Fierce Shark Village was doomed!
Therefore, in order to save face and the situation, the pirates must make him pay the price with blood! Just a moment later, amid the roar of the second pirate leader, "Kill him, I will be rewarded with fifty taels of gold, and I will be directly promoted to the leader." Countless pirates, whether they were sword, shield, axe, or archer, also Or slave soldiers, they all came up one after another and surrounded him in an instant!
"Well done!" Gu Dalang, a good man with a scimitar, did not show any fear even when faced with the enemy that was pressing down on him. He just changed the scimitar to his left hand, then pulled out something from his waist and pointed it at the opponent. The pirate at the front suddenly pulled the trigger! So, in an instant, with a dull gunshot, the strong guy fell out as if he was hit by a heavy sledgehammer, and fell on his back on the deck motionless. Live! It turns out that what Gu Wenlai took out from his waist was a short flint-haired blunderbuss!
"He killed the third child. Let's get together and kill him!" The sound of gunshots and the falling of people stopped the murderous pirates from marching forward. However, as the crowd roared, A guy shouted suddenly, and many pirates who were frightened by the power of the flintlock gun finally woke up from their brief shock and began to wave the long and short weapons in their hands and continued to rush towards the place where Gu Wenlai was, and behind them , the Jurchen Tatar Udahan was leading several of his archers with bows and arrows, looking for opportunities to kill Gu Wenlai in one fell swoop.
"Fuck you, get out of here! Manager Gu, you must support your brother!" At this time, the attention of most of the pirates on the deck had been attracted by Gu Wenlai, and some of the remaining ones were also attracted by Gu Wenlai. They were retreating steadily under Fan Huzi's crazy tiger-like attacks. However, the thin spear formation composed of slave soldiers was never broken through by Fan Huzi and the others! And looking at Gu Wenlai, who was standing in the middle of the deck and struggling to resist the attacks of the pirates with spears, daggers, and bows and arrows, Fan Huzi could not help but feel angry and anxious. Even the strength in his hands increased a bit during the fight!
"Whoosh!" Looking at the enemy leader who was holding a scimitar and looming among his companions, the pirate archer, under the command of the leader Wu Dahan, pulled out the bow string of the rifle in his hand and aimed the arrow at the man on the deck. A figure jumped in the center, and then, as the leader's order to release arrows sounded, the archers who had been preparing for a long time quickly released the bowstrings between their fingers! Then in an instant, several feather arrows with sharp triangular arrows pierced the air under the throw of the bowstring, spinning and screaming fiercely towards Gu Wenlai!
As a result, the situation on the entire battlefield suddenly became very unfavorable for Gu Wenlai. At this moment, Fan Huzi, his closest assistant, was still trying his best to entangle the slave soldier's long pole hand, and could not give any help at all for a while. He offers any help!
However, Gu Wenlai, who has proficient skills in cold weapon fighting, is not a person with a deserved reputation! But he saw a scimitar with an exaggerated arc that seemed to come alive in his hand, slashing and scratching. In the flash of cold light, a pirate must have been injured and fell to the ground! As for the few feather arrows that came coldly, he didn't pay much attention to them. He just turned around and used his back to resist in a hurry! It turned out that before setting off, he had already carried a large shield covered with thick cowhide on his back. Therefore, he was not afraid of the arrows fired by the enemy at all. Of course, he still had to protect his head, because his There is no helmet on the head to protect it, so the arrow will be touched with just a touch and the game will be over!
"Puff!" Sure enough, the thick cowhide shield's defensive power is not limited. All arrows that hit it will lose most of their potential energy! Therefore, the ancient article about protecting your head with a machete means nothing! Then, just as the pirates shouted and continued to charge towards him, the slave gun formation that was struggling to support was finally broken through by Fan Huzi and others!
