Boss Qiao and the sailors were not sure what was wrapped on the other side's arrows, but they saw people lighting torches on all the pirate ships. When Boss Qiao saw this, his body was shocked, and he immediately understood, and said in shock: "They.
....They want to burn the boat!"
Sure enough, after the opponent lit the torch, he moved closer to the arrows. In just a moment, more than a dozen arrows turned into rockets.
The man in the bronze mask waved his hand, and more than a dozen rockets shot over, and the sound of "duh duw" sounded. Some arrows hit the cabin, and some hit the side of the hull.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Boss Qiao changed his color, and everyone under his command suddenly panicked.
Although the opponent has a large number of people, the sailors are also very brave. After all, if you are not fierce in the business of running the sea, you will not be able to eat this bowl of rice. Therefore, you are not afraid of facing many pirates, and you have the courage to fight to the death.
Fighting heart.
But the opponent used the rocket move, which was something Boss Qiao didn't expect.
The front ends of the arrow clusters were wrapped in coarse cotton, but they had been soaked in kerosene and embedded in the wooden boards, so they were not easy to extinguish.
Someone took water and poured it on the rocket in the cabin, intending to extinguish the fire. Who knew that as soon as the water was poured, many fire spots fell on the deck, and it was impossible to put it out for a while.
"Don't use water!" Boss Qiao shouted sternly: "Use clothes to put it out."
So some people took off their outer clothes and finally extinguished several rockets in the cabin. Another person took a long pole and knocked down the rockets stuck on the side of the ship.
After extinguishing more than a dozen rockets, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But when they looked up, they saw many archers on the opposite side still bending their bows and setting arrows. Although the torches did not ignite for a while, it gave the sailors on the merchant ship chills on their backs. The huge
Fear invades the whole body.
Everyone knows that this is just a warning from the other party.
The other party's purpose was to plunder merchant ships and goods, so they would not really set fire to the ship unless it was absolutely necessary.
But the other party's warning clearly told everyone that they could burn the three merchant ships at any time if they wanted.
The pirates only fired a dozen rockets, which already caused the sailors to panic. If the opponent was really ruthless, the rockets would be fired continuously, and there would not even be time to extinguish the fire. Moreover, the opponent's rockets were really fierce and piercing.
When put into the wooden board, the coarse cotton is soaked in kerosene. Splashing water cannot extinguish the fire. Even water and oil mixed together will cause the flames to spread everywhere.
Boss Qiao was still frightened.
"Boss Qiao, do you understand now?" The masked man said loudly: "We can destroy all three of your ships without risking our lives. If we really want to get to that point, the merchant ships, cargo, and...
Hundreds of good people on the three boats will all be lost in the sea."
Boss Qiao sneered: "A good way to be a boss."
"That's too much praise." The masked person said: "So when you return to Hangzhou, you have enough reasons to explain to Uncle Jiang. It's not that you don't want to protect the merchant ship, but that you have no way to deal with it. You can't just watch hundreds of people.
Wasn't it buried in the sea? The merchant ship and cargo were lost, but everyone's lives were saved. This is also a great achievement." He crossed his arms across his chest and said loudly: "Otherwise, the ship and cargo were not spared, and even the people could not be saved.
So why bother?”
Boss Qiao's face was ashen and he clenched his fists, and all the sailors looked at each other in shock.
The sky is getting dark and the sea breeze is like a knife.
"If you want to take away the merchant ship and goods, it depends on whether the boss has the ability." Boss Qiao suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Master, do you have the courage to compete with me? If you win, I will do as you said, the merchant ship
All the goods and goods are yours, and give us four ships to return to Hangzhou." As soon as these words came out, the sailors changed their colors.
"Boss, you...!" Someone on the side wanted to persuade, but Qiao Siluo raised his hand to stop him and said in a deep voice: "There is no other way."
The masked man smiled and said, "Why should I fight you alone?"
"Because this is your only chance to obtain merchant ships and goods." Qiao Siluo said loudly: "Yes, you have rockets, which is really good. If you really want to be ruthless, you can completely destroy three merchant ships without having to fight hand-to-hand."
.But if you shoot arrows and burn the ship, you will get nothing but destruction. You have spent manpower and material resources, and have planned for a long time. You don’t want to get nothing in this big war?" He clenched his fist and said: "If you don’t agree, you can just shoot the arrow and burn the ship."
He asked his sailors loudly: "Are you afraid of death?"
In fact, no one really wants to die here, but the momentum cannot be weakened at this time. Everyone said in unison: "Don't be afraid, let them burn the boat, and you will get nothing!"
"You are indeed brave." The masked man smiled and said, "How do you mean fighting alone?"
Qiao Siluo immediately said: "Everyone chooses a weapon and uses it to make friends. If I lose at your hands, the merchant ships and goods will be yours. If I win by chance, I will ask the leader to retreat."
The masked man nodded and said: "Okay!"
When Qiao Siluo heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and many of the sailors around him also showed joy.
Qiao Siluo is the number one general of the Tiger God Hall, and he has won the trust and respect of Uncle Jiang. Otherwise, he would not have given such a big responsibility of running the boat to Qiao Siluo.
Although the pirates were fierce, they were afraid that they would not agree. As long as they agreed, Qiao Siluo would have a chance.
"The master is indeed a good man." Qiao Siluo said loudly: "In this way, even if I lose at your hands, I can have an explanation after I go back."
"Should Boss Qiao come over, or should I?"
Qiao Siluo knew that the other party was just talking. If he really wanted to let the other party come over, another dispute would inevitably arise. Now that things had happened, he had nothing to fear, so he loudly said: "Qiao, go over and ask for advice!"
There is no nonsense over there, the ship is approaching here, and the sailors and pirates on both sides are ready and alert.
After some distance, the other side stopped. Qiao Siluo asked someone to take the sampan and put it between the two ships. However, the merchant ship was much higher than that side. The sampan tilted downwards. Qiao Siluo followed the sampan.
I walked over and reached the deck of the enemy ship. I took a quick look and saw that all the pirates were covering their mouths and noses. Some were holding bows and some were holding knives. They were all very capable. When they saw Qiao Silo boarding the ship, they all pushed back.
Open it, freeing up a large deck.
"The boss!" Qiao Siluo held his hands towards the masked man and looked at his figure. The masked man didn't talk nonsense. He pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed the blade at Qiao Siluo.
Seeing how straightforward the other party was, Qiao Siluo didn't hesitate. He held the knife in his hand and said, "I'm asking for advice!"
He was not polite, but he did not rush forward and stepped up to the left. After all, it was about three ships and hundreds of thousands of taels of goods. Whether they could be saved or not depended on the outcome of this battle. If he lost,
Naturally, it would be a heavy loss, and Tiger God Hall would be in a lot of trouble in the future.
But if you win, the merchant ship encounters pirates at sea, and you stand up, defeat the pirate leader, and save the goods and personnel, then you will definitely become famous. Tiger God Hall will naturally become famous, and you will also be respected by others.
, naturally gaining both fame and fortune.
As soon as he moved, the masked man's footsteps followed suit, but in the opposite direction. The two of them circled half a circle, shouted softly in unison, jumped up, and slashed with the sword.
The two of them jumped up like eagles and swung their swords as fast as lightning.
When Qiao Siluo jumped high and slashed straight, he saw that the opponent was equally powerful and slashed, and his heart was trembling. As the so-called expert can tell when he strikes, the speed and power of the opponent's attack are obviously not inferior to his. He knew that the bandit in front of him was
He is really not an ordinary person, but a powerful enemy.
Qiao Siluo actually understood that in this fight, he had to win with all his strength, but he couldn't really hurt the opponent.
If the pirate leader is defeated and keeps his word, then the three merchant ships will naturally be safe. But if he accidentally injures the other party, this group of pirates will be extremely ferocious and anger the other party. They may not really keep their promise. Surrounded by a group of
As soon as the pirates swarmed up, I was afraid that my blood would be splashed on the spot.
He originally thought that if the opponent was not strong enough, he would deliberately compete and then win using the opponent's more honorable methods.
However, in this confrontation, the opponent's strength was obviously not inferior to his own. He was surprised and had distracting thoughts. After a slight hesitation, the masked man's eyes were sharp. In an instant, he had discovered a flaw in Qiao Siluo's ribs, and without hesitation, he turned from slashing to stabbing.
, hurry up in the air and get under Qiao Siluo's ribs.
Qiao Siluo was even more frightened when he saw the other party's unpredictable moves and sword movements. He was shocked by the unpredictable moves of the other party. He twisted his body sharply in the air and fell to the side like a top.
It was just that although he changed his moves quickly, the masked man stabbed his ribs with a knife in the skirt of his clothes. When he was tilted, the skirt of his clothes split. At this moment, the masked man had already taken the advantage.
Qiao Si Luo landed on the deck, but the masked man breathed in the air, bent his body, and chased after him. Qiao Si Luo could only see the flash of swords in front of his eyes, and his heart was awe-inspiring. He shouted sharply, but he could only swing his sword to block it.
However, the masked man had already taken advantage of his fall, holding the knife with both hands, and struck the back of the big knife in Qiao Si Luo's hand with a "choking" sound. Sparks flew everywhere, and Qiao Si Luo's arm shook violently. When he was frightened, the mask
However, the man's blade had already been slashed along the back of the big knife in Qiao Siluo's hand. Qiao Siluo felt a huge pain in his hand. The pain made him helpless and he loosened his fingers. The big knife in his hand had already fallen, and he let out a "stagger".
It fell heavily on the deck.
He looked horrified, raised his hand, and saw that his right hand was dripping with blood. The opponent had cut off two of his fingers with a knife, and the two half-cut fingers had already flown to the deck, which was shocking.
"Accept!" The masked man turned around and ordered: "Send the order, free up four boats, and send them to Boss Qiao to return to Hangzhou." He then handed over to Qiao Siluo and said with a smile: "Boss Qiao, don't be surprised if you miss the moment.
"I accepted the favor this time, and I will repay it if I have the opportunity in the future!" He then ordered: "Get the medicine to stop Boss Qiao's bleeding."
"You...who are you?" Qiao Siluo held back the pain and held his severed finger with a look of horror on his face.
He really didn't expect that he would be defeated by the opponent in just three moves.
The opponent's sword skills are really terrifying.
He really didn't believe that a bandit leader could have such great skills. If he really had such ability, there would be no need to make a living by robbing at sea. He could definitely find a better way out.
"I know what Boss Qiao is thinking." The masked man let out a harsh laugh and said slowly: "You want to compete with me because you want to kill two birds with one stone. If you win, you can escape unscathed and even gain fame and fortune.
Come on, even if you lose, you still think you can test my sword skills and want to use them to trace my identity in the future."
Qiao Siluo-Changes color immediately.
Not only was the opponent skilled in swordsmanship, he was also shrewd in his thinking. He could see through his true intentions at a glance.
One of the bandits threw a porcelain bottle, and Qiao Siluo reached out to take it. The masked man already said: "Apply it to the injured area to stop the bleeding."
