The dumbfounded people in black on the deck finally came to their senses and hurriedly started to sail the boat.
Unfortunately, when we docked before, in order to stabilize the ship as much as possible and prevent it from being washed away by the turbulent river water, the helmsman deliberately adjusted the direction of the ship's bow and stuck it firmly on the shoal.
In addition, the sailors on the ship also dropped many anchors and reinforced them with iron chains to connect the ship and the dock to facilitate the transportation of iron ore.
So now, you can imagine how difficult it is to move the ship back in a hurry!
The men in black slashed the ropes with knives, and the sails fell down with a swipe. The heavy sails were swollen by the river wind, driving the entire ship to slide towards the center of the river.
As the hull moved, the iron chain fixed to the dock tightened, making an unpleasant creaking sound.
The big ship that had already started to slide was stagnated in place again under the pull of the iron chain.
"No, sir, the chains on the ship are not loosened, and the ship cannot move!" a sailor yelled in panic.
"Trash! Ask someone to go down and untie it and push the boat back!" The middle-aged man kicked him in anger and roared: "Go!"
"But, but" the sailor didn't dare to cry out in pain even after being kicked, and looked at the tragic situation on the shoal with fear on his face.
He didn't dare go down.
The other sailors didn't dare to go down and shrank back.
They, the sailors on the ship, are usually only responsible for driving the ship and rowing the oars to ensure the normal navigation of the ship. However, they are ordinary people and do not have any force.
It's safer to hide on the boat. If we go down to unlock the push boat and are caught up by those vicious enemies, wouldn't we definitely die?
The sailors don't want to die either.
The middle-aged man looked ferocious: "If we don't retreat now, we will all die when the enemy arrives on the ship!"
He pulled out his sword, put it across the sailor's neck, and said sternly: "If anyone is afraid of death and refuses to go, I will kill him now! Go quickly!"
The sailors were so frightened that they rolled over and crawled away.
The middle-aged man turned to the man in black next to him and shouted: "You guys should help too! Inform everyone on the boat to come out. The boat must be driven away before those people on the shore rush over, otherwise everyone will die together!"
The people in black were frightened and ran hurriedly.
In order to move the iron ore, most of the men in black had disembarked from the ship to transport the goods, and not many remained on the ship.
But now, the guards suddenly came out, and most of the men in black who stayed on the shoal became targets. While suffering heavy casualties, they also held back the wolf-like guards, preventing them from rushing over in a short time.
on board.
no way.
The number of guards ambushing under the cliff is too small.
Moreover, the area of the shoal is limited, and there are not many people who can ambush. Twenty or thirty people can bear the sky. No matter how many people there are, it will be difficult to hide perfectly, and it will be easy to be noticed by the men in black in advance.
Then the purpose of an ambush and raid would be defeated.
The focus of Zhan Beihan's customized plan is obviously not on the shallows.
The twenty-man guards seemed to rush out at once, attacking in all directions, but in fact they were in groups of two, and two groups in one team. Coordinated attacks could not only ensure their own safety, but also maximize the damage.
enemy.
Their goal is not to wipe out all the men in black.
Rather, it was to create chaos and drag as many men in black on the shore as possible, making it difficult for them to board the ship and escape.
So on the surface, it looked like the men in black who had fled in a rout were targeted and held back the guards.
In fact, it was the guards who attacked everywhere and held back most of the men in black.
