Chapter 94 I’ll burn you before you burn me
The sky was gloomy, cumulus clouds seemed to be pressing down on the warship, and the full moon had disappeared without knowing when.
A strong north wind blew on the sea, making the flags on the bows rustle.
There was a sudden click, and the strong wind broke a mast as thick as a bowl.
A loud shout was heard, and Dian Chu actually resisted the mast, and then he even hugged the mast, thrust it into the deck, got stuck on the deck, and stood there.
Liu Ke was dumbfounded and confused.
The mast was blown off, which was actually an ominous sign, but instead of falling down, it stood up again. What does this mean?
Suddenly, someone pointed to the sea and said:
"Your Majesty, Donghu sent a fleet of ships to attack!"
Liu Ke quickly looked out and saw hundreds of sterns scattered on the sea. They all raised their sails and rushed toward the water village with the help of the north wind.
You don't need to think about it to know that they are all fire boats that imitated the sterns just now and specially broke away the water forts and took the opportunity to set fire to them.
Even if you can't burn down the water village, you can still make a profit by exchanging one for one.
"Order Gan Wenjin to lead his troops to resist!"
Gan Wenjin was ordered to lead the ship to intercept, but he was caught in a dilemma.
The Donghu people's fireboats were not just forced water fortresses without any rules.
Instead, the two wings spread out, and while firing arrows, they used the hull of the ship as a blocker to block the escort ships of the Han army coming out of the water village, and to protect the stern in the middle.
The fire ship carrying Donghu's fierce generals in the middle attacked the water stronghold under the full cover of the two wings.
This also caused Gan Wenjin and the large Han navy under him to be at a loss for a while.
After all, most of them were pirates. Although they had received some training from the regular army these days, their military quality was still somewhat poor after all.
Being entangled in this way by the East Huxian on both wings, I was momentarily confused and unable to make a proper judgment. It was difficult to turn around and block the East Huxuan in the middle.
It's like a prey entangled in a spider's web. It knows that there is a vast world out of the spider's web, but the more it struggles, the more stuck it becomes.
Liu Ke was condescending and could not see the specific details. He could only see the ship carrying Donghu generals in the middle, getting closer and closer to the water village.
He is not in a hurry, he trusts Gan Wenjin's water warfare ability, but the follow-up Donghu fleet will be very troublesome.
A moment later, the dragonfly carrying the Pu Liu Ru Ju Luo was only a hundred meters away from the water village.
Several ships of the navy led by Gan Wenjin were able to escape, but they were far apart and could not catch up.
At the same time, all the arrows fired by the infantry on the chain boat hit Donghu Navy, who was holding up a shield and covered with cowhide, and seemed to have no effect.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the water village, Pu Liu Ru Gu Luo couldn't help but laugh proudly.
I didn’t expect that this skill would be obtained by him!
As long as they enter the water stronghold and set fire to the Han army's chain boats, the wind will help the fire. Under the north wind, they will be burned to pieces!
In the stormy sea, the Han soldiers in the water village also showed solemn expressions when facing the approaching cockroach.
Every soldier's breathing seemed to become heavier, and even in the noisy sea, it seemed that he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
Lian Hansheng, who was on the other large ship Feiyun, suddenly moved.
He scratched his cheek and asked the general:
"Which one is the captain of this fleet?"
The general was so nervous that he almost didn't react at the first moment. He just replied tremblingly:
"On the stern in the middle, there is a man wearing a helmet and armor and carrying a long sword."
"Bring me my bow!"
The general then handed over the simple-looking longbow that had accompanied the old general for many years.
His thick lips pursed slightly, but without much aim, Lian Hansheng bent his bow and fired an arrow:
"middle!"
The arrow went straight across the sea. Na Pu Liu Ru Gu Luo was a rare fierce general among the Pu Liu Ru tribe, but even so, he was hit in the shoulder by this magical arrow. He felt pain for a moment and let out a loud roar.
"Now, go to that place and push the boat over!"
At this moment, Gan Wenjin also became angry in his heart.
Although the boats and boats under his command were entangled by the boats on both sides of Donghu, under his maneuvers, the boats actually formed floating bridges on the water.
Gan Wenjin, on the other hand, sat three steps and two steps apart and jumped directly between the ships. The golden bell on his waist jingled rhythmically, and he quickly broke through the blockade of the Donghu ships on both wings!
Seeing that he was only a hundred steps away from the ship where Pu Liu Ru Gu Luo was, but there was no ship around, he took down a mast and threw it into the sea.
As soon as the mast floated on the water, Gan Wenjin walked a few more steps, then suddenly plunged into the water, and when it emerged again, there was a clanking sound, and people had already arrived in front of Pu Liu Ru Gu Luo.
At this time, Pu Liu Ru Gu Luo had just pulled out the arrow on his shoulder.
Gan Wenjin was facing a knife, and Pu Liuru Guluo reacted quickly to resist, but he forgot that the arrow had hit his shoulder just now, and because he raised the knife to resist, his shoulder was torn. In the pain, his movements were a beat slower.
In a battle between masters, victory or defeat can only happen in a split second. Gan Wenjin is not weak in martial arts, and he is also a water general. When he saw the sea, he acted like his own mother and directly removed Pu Liu Ru Gu Luo's arm with a knife.
He chased and beat him fiercely, and then struck him with a knife, killing him immediately.
The navy soldiers who were under Gan Wenjin's command and who had just transferred to another class of pirates, saw this scene and their blood was even more intense.
Although Gan Wenjin usually criticized them harshly and made people dissatisfied, this force was really powerful!
As a result, they also imitated Gan Wenjin's behavior, abandoned the ship, and either fought towards the Donghu Pangan that was pestering them, or jumped into the sea and rushed directly to the central Pangan to support Gan Wenjin.
The entire maritime battlefield was in chaos.
After killing Puliukura, there was a period of chaos on the ship, but it was not completely out of control. After all, the leader was Puliu Rama who was still waiting eagerly on the boat.
Gan Wenjin didn't delay, Donghu soldiers had already reacted and fired arrows at him. Even with his bravery, he would not be able to get away from being surrounded.
He held up Pu Liu Ru Gu Luo's corpse with one hand to serve as a shield. The blood on the corpse extended along his arms, and the blood spilled from the headless neck covered half of his face.
But Gan Wenjin didn't even frown, and roared with the ringing sound caused by every move:
"How dare you, rats, shoot me, Gan Wenjin?!!!"
The soldiers of Donghu didn't know whether they were frightened or because they didn't dare to shoot arrows at Pu Liu Ru Gu Luo, so there were obviously fewer arrows coming towards them.
Then Gan Wenjin held the Pu Liu Ru Ju Luo in one hand and commanded with a knife in the other. He jumped onto an uncontrolled boat with all his strength.
"set fire!"
Seeing that he finally had a chance to breathe, Gan Wenjin did not hesitate, and the banditry he had developed over many years of piracy was fully revealed.
He grinned and directly picked up the huozhezi and the hay and tung oil on the boat.
Want to burn a water village?
I will burn you first!
Seeing Gan Wenjin like this, everyone knew what he was thinking, and their faces all turned pale.
The north wind is still blowing now, if the fire is a bit brighter, Donghu's cockroaches will be in chaos for a while, and the water village will not have much problem, but they are also in the fire, and the fire will become more fierce against the north wind, but they may not be able to get good results!
Gan Wenjin was not vague at all. He lit a fire stick with one hand and held a knife against it with the other hand:
"We were all brothers before, but I don't know what the nature of water is like?"
"If you want to leave, just jump into the water and leave now. The water village is right behind. If you are still a little bloody, come with me and set fire to all these boats!"
Whether it was the pirate's job change or Liu Ke's navy sergeant trained in the way of "One Piece", they all looked at each other.
But no one jumped into the water to escape.
It has come to this point, are you still afraid?
You can say that pirates are vicious, you can say that pirates are cunning, and they are not moral people at all, but as long as they enter a battle, every one of them dares to fight!
When they faced the ferocious Han army led by the emperor and the shameless strategy of exchanging ships for ships, they dared to dive into the water and build ships!
And no matter what, Gan Wenjin has already killed the general, and the soldiers of Donghu will be in chaos because they have lost their command. This is a rare opportunity!
Without saying much, Gan Wenjin and his brothers lit hay and threw it on each boat.
Donghu's boat was originally a fire boat used to burn water in the village. It had a lot of ignition materials. When the fire started, the south wind kept blowing, and it suddenly got out of control!
Those Donghu soldiers who reacted could only abandon the ship and leave. Even Pu Liuru Guluo's body had no time to recover!
It's just that the ships that the Han army intercepted out of the water village were inevitably affected. The tongue of fire licked many ships, and it was actually quite large at that time!
This fire immediately shocked both the Han army and Donghu.
Puroku Rama was shocked by how quickly the fleet was destroyed.
Originally, the fleet was able to obtain many large and medium-sized ships from the Han army. If they were lucky, they could even rush into the water stronghold and set fire to a series of ships.
But now that we haven't even gotten close to the water village, we've all been ordered by Gan Wenjin, which is really not worth it.
