Chapter 2255 Arrows suppress the broken oar platoon
Hu Fan almost jumped to the side of the ship in a single step, lowered himself down, waved the moon-chasing bow in his hand, and blocked the arrows above his head, while several personal guards quickly raised their shields to protect them.
Hu Zhen lived on one side, but the other sergeants were not so lucky, especially the warriors who were holding iron rods and big clubs in both hands. They didn't even have armor on their bodies. The archers of these Beifu Army all had weak arms.
Astonishingly, more than a hundred bows and arrows flew at them, and their power could penetrate shields and armor. These unprotected warriors were directly shot through the bodies by these arrows. The luckier ones were screaming and rolling on the ground, and were directly injured.
His internal organs were damaged, or his head and neck were penetrated. He couldn't even scream and just threw himself to the ground and died. More than twenty corpses fell on the deck immediately, and there were even more injured people.
Screaming and rolling.
Hu Fan jumped up from the bow of the boat. As he jumped, he nocked an arrow and shot it at the leading boat opposite. The arrow was like a shooting star. A Beifu Army archer who had just been nocking an arrow was facing him.
The door was shot through by an arrow, and he fell backwards. The arrow was so accurate and fierce that even the enemy's Beifu Army archers gave out a burst of cheers.
But the cheers were cheers, and their loading and firing speeds were not affected in the slightest. Tan Zhuan's gritted teeth sounded out: "He is Hu Fan, the murderer of Uncle Pingling. Shoot him to avenge Uncle Pingling!"
The Beifu sergeants on these five ships were almost all members of the Shenjian commando team led by Tan Pingzhi. This time, they were also led by Tan Zhi. Most of them followed Liu Yi on the Western Expedition. For them, they could kill Hu Fan with their own hands.
, avenging the leader and patriarch Tan Ping was perhaps more important than killing Huan Xuan. Without Tan Zhu's reminder, they had already recognized that the other party was Hu Fan. At this time, almost all the bows and arrows rushed towards Hu Fan, or shot directly.
, or straight shot, more than a hundred arrows in the second round were all shot at the same target!
Hu Fan laughed, rolled backwards, and rolled six or seven steps away. In the direction of the bow of the ship where he had just been standing, dense arrow shafts had been inserted, and he had attracted a round of bows and arrows. Just now
The Chu army on board the Fire Dragon, which was a little flustered by the surprise attack, stabilized their position again. The shield men stepped forward to cover, while the archers formed groups to fire arrows at the rushing warships. For a moment, arrows were flying.
The arrows flying back and forth in the air, even hitting each other, fell into the river, like locusts, and soon formed a floating arrow shaft on the water.
People kept getting hit by arrows, screaming, and falling into the water. Hu Fan frowned, and his son Hu Zhen rushed over and shouted: "Dad, it's too dangerous here, you go to a safe place first!"
Hu Fan said sternly: "You bastard, why are you coming to the battlefield if you want to be safe? Why are you boarding the Fire Dragon? The Huan family has been kind to our Hu family for three generations. Today is the time to repay the kindness and defend the country. If you have any intention of shaking the morale of the army again,
Yan, as the coach, I will kill you now!"
Hu Zhen trembled with fright. He knew his father's character and would never lie. How could he dare to defend himself? He quickly rushed forward with more than ten personal guards. However, Hu Fan sighed secretly and came from both sides.
It can be seen from the exchange of fire that the sharp archers on the opposite side are much stronger than our own in terms of speed and strength. His Yangyouji camp is also a veteran who has been trained by himself for more than ten years, but the last battle in Jiankang City was almost
They were completely lost, and only a dozen of his subordinates rushed out with him. Most of the people aboard the warship were newly recruited soldiers from Jiangzhou Prefecture and County. It would be difficult to catch a thief in ordinary times, but with these elite soldiers from the Beifu Army who had fought many battles
, that's a huge difference. In just a few minutes, nearly a hundred people on our side were hit by arrows and fell down, but the arrows on the opposite side did not weaken at all. Obviously, our side hardly caused any decent damage to the opponent.
Losses and casualties.
Hu Fan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Send the order, all the archers withdraw, hide themselves and cover themselves, stop shooting with the enemy, hit me, if you can't shoot, can't you hit the enemy's boat?"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the right side of the Fire Dragon warship, followed by a violent shaking. Hu Fan himself almost couldn't stand. He hurriedly abandoned the Moon Chasing Bow in his hand and held on tightly.
The mast pillars around him prevented them from falling, and the archers who had just been ordered to retreat and look for shields to cover themselves, suddenly fell to the deck again, and were hit by a sudden burst of fire.
A hail of arrows swept through the area, causing large casualties once again.
Hu Fan was shocked and angry. He rushed to the starboard side and looked out. He saw the thirty paddles of the Fire Dragon extending out from the right side. Almost all of them were cut off. Two fast boats sailed past the starboard side.
More than a dozen sharp long knives stretched out from the cabin. When they brushed against the side of the ship, these knives stretched out of the cabin and were raised high. In just one sprint, thirty oars were cut off like this, and the broken oars fell.
It was all over the river, and the fire dragon boat that had just started and was about to accelerate was hurtled by this broken oar. The entire right half suddenly lost power and began to spin in place.
Hu Fan had never seen such a water warfare method before. Before he could recover, there was another loud noise from the port side. He quickly realized that the same thing was happening again and shouted: "Hurry, raise the sail quickly,
If you don’t have an oar, just borrow the wind and help me get out.”
While giving orders to the busy sailors on the deck, he rushed to the hatch of the ship and shouted to the oarsmen on the bottom: "Are they all dead? Change the spear and stick out the sword, and the enemy will use the boat to row across."
, cut him, stab him, never let them get close again!"
Before he finished speaking, there was another sound of arrows hammering into the deck and human bodies behind him. Along with the screams, Hu Fan quickly dodged into the cabin. Three arrows suddenly fell where he was standing just now.
, the arrow feather was still shaking slightly, and he said bitterly: "Damn Jingba thief, everyone retreat to the cabin now, wait for the thief to get on the ship, and then we will fight out!"
Behind the Fire Dragon, more than thirty clippers were attacking the Chu Army's second fleet a hundred steps away. On the Feiyu, He Wuji stood at the stern hatch and looked at the Fire Dragon behind him, which was being driven back and forth by five clippers.
Shooting, there was no one alive on the deck, and the boat, with its oars cut off on both sides, was spinning alone on the river, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "
He Danzhi, He Danzhi, you are really self-defeating. You want me to board the ship, but I don't want to."
Liu Daogui nodded: "I just didn't expect that Hu Fan was actually on the Fire Dragon. But it seems that all the elite archers under his old subordinates have been lost. The hundreds of archers on this ship can't suppress the hundreds of people in the bottle."
I am an old member of Yu Ming, who is beaten passively and has no temper."
He Wuji's eyes flashed coldly: "You don't need to get on the ship, just use your Kunlun Slave to scuttle the Fire Dragon. Let's continue to charge for a while. This time, we want to let them know more clearly that our
