Seeing that Xu Zun and others were about to rush to the entrance of the Navy Pier, the enemy suddenly came forward with a spiked iron shield.
When the impact encounters resistance, the situation instantly becomes crisis.
"Oh!"
Huo Anu continued to roar and used his iron umbrella to hold up his shield, but he couldn't move even half a step forward and was even pushed backwards by the shield.
Seeing the crossbows being fired from all directions, Ani suddenly became wise and shouted at Huo Anu: "Sister Anu, lend me your knee!"
Huo Anu didn't understand at first, but when he saw Ani's signal, he immediately bent his right leg in a lunge.
Ani kicked off Huo Anu's knees, jumped over the shield, and swung her sword into the enemy camp.
Ani's Qingling sword was extremely sharp, and it had already stabbed two people before it hit the ground.
After landing, he slashed fiercely, knocking down several pirates holding shields, as well as other enemies behind them.
A howl suddenly came from the crowd. This Ani was very cruel. She did not harm the enemy's life, but cut the enemy's fingers, ankles, eyes, etc. with the sword.
This technique is not only cruel but also very effective, and can render the enemy incapable of fighting in the shortest possible time.
But I saw the green Qingling sword appearing and disappearing like a dancing spirit snake, killing an opening in just a moment.
"Wow!"
Huo Anu took the opportunity to throw an iron umbrella forward, and the shields were finally pushed away. Several people braved the hail of bullets and arrows and continued to rush towards the dock...
As a result, what made Xu Zun even more delighted was that as shouts of death came from the other side of the pier, a team was seen fighting towards them along the seashore.
The entire beach was filled with firelight, and Xu Zun recognized at a glance that the team was his bodyguards.
The first ones to bear the brunt were Dai Long, Hou Zhen, A Xiuzai and Li Xing, followed by the internal guards assigned to him by Cai Kun.
Each of these people possess special skills. With a lift of their sleeves, they will shoot crossbow arrows, directly killing the enemy.
Rushing all the way, it was like a tiger rushing into a pack of wolves. He fought his way through the dark sea of pirates and rushed to the gate of the Navy Pier.
"Sir! Master Xu," Dai Long at the front shouted excitedly when he saw Xu Zun, "you are indeed here!"
The two forces converged and started a fierce battle with the pirates at the entrance of the pier.
"Dai Long!" Xu Zun ordered loudly, "I suspect that the enemy is coming for our warship. Hurry in and make sure the warship is okay!"
"yes!"
The guards took the order and immediately rushed towards the navy dock.
Huo Anu wanted to rush to the front, but she let out a cry of pain, her body suddenly stagnated, and she quickly lifted the iron umbrella to the ground.
Only then did Xu Zun remember that Huo Anu had injuries on his body, and the previous attacks would inevitably cause old injuries.
Sure enough, Huo Anu showed a painful expression on her face, but this tough girl still stood up and followed the guards towards the navy dock.
Looking at Ani, things are not optimistic either. Her left arm has suffered a penetrating injury before, and now such a life-threatening attack will inevitably involve the old injury.
In this short period of time, Ani, who was wearing Xu Zun's coat, was already covered in blood and looked extremely miserable.
Phew…puff…
At this moment, only Zhao Yu was able to do it with ease. He immediately cut down the two pirates with his sword and protected Xu Zun from the other side as he entered the navy dock.
After entering the dock, Xu Zun was more certain of his previous thoughts, but saw that the entire dock had been occupied by pirates.
Three warships are docked side by side in the port, preparing to set sail the day after tomorrow.
At this moment, the pirates not only attacked the warships from the docks of the port, but also came from the water on sampans, throwing out anchor hooks and ropes, and climbed onto the three warships like ants eating away at them!
Whoosh...
The sounding arrow rose into the sky again, apparently fired by the guards on the warship.
Valley
These soldiers were originally stationed at the dock, but no one could have imagined that something like this would happen once in a century. They were all killed by surprise, and in the end they were forced to retreat to the deck of the warship.
And precisely because of the lack of any mental preparation, the military port that should have been guarded by hundreds of soldiers was only garrisoned by a hundred people.
But now most of them were killed and damaged. As more and more pirates climbed onto the deck, the entire army was about to be annihilated.
Seeing this, Xu Zun immediately ordered everyone to board the boat to rescue him.
However, the gangway to get on the ship has been retracted, and the access to the ship has been closed, making it impossible to board the deck more than ten meters high.
"Hey!" Zhao Yu shouted anxiously to the deck, "Hurry up and get down the gangway, we are here to rescue! Hurry up! Hey..."
Hearing the shouts from below the ship, the soldiers on the deck were naturally overjoyed and all saw hope of survival.
They rushed towards the side of the ship to lower the gangway. However, the pirates had already seen the problem and immediately fought fiercely with the soldiers, making it impossible for the soldiers to get close to the gangway.
At the same time, the pirates who had received the news were rushing towards the naval dock in large numbers. These pirates seemed not to be afraid of death at all, and they all rushed to kill Xu Zun and others.
The area of the dock is not large, and fighting on a long and narrow ground affects everyone's performance. They must look forward and not look back.
The crowd fought harder and harder, and were forced to retreat steadily by the enemy. They gradually retreated towards the seaside, and soon they were unable to retreat.
Uh-huh...
At this time, the guard named Shangguan Min shot an arrow, just in time to kill a pirate who was climbing up using a rope.
The pirate screamed and fell into the sea.
Asiu Zai took advantage of the situation and jumped up high, climbing on the rope towards the deck.
boom……
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ashuzai climbed a few meters, someone from the pirate group opened fire. Fortunately, the shooting range of this kind of musket was limited.
The Asiu Zai let out a painful "Ah" sound. Although he was hit by the bullet, he did not fall.
"Cover! Cover!!"
Xu Zun quickly gave the order, and Dai Long and others who were at the front immediately moved forward bravely and hacked wildly.
Swish, swish, swish...
However, the more he was afraid of something, the more the enemy seemed to have spotted Asiu Tsai. A burst of crossbows fired at him, and Asiu Tsai was hit in the back by an arrow. He could no longer hold on and fell down in the air!
ah……
Everyone was shocked. Huo Anu quickly jumped up and used the opened iron umbrella to weaken the momentum of Ashuzai's fall.
Li Xing and others hurriedly caught Asiuzai and gave him emergency treatment.
"I'll do it!"
Shangguan Min packed his bow and arrows, looked at the towering side of the ship, and prepared to climb.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, with a crash, the side of the ship suddenly opened against the side of the dock, and a gangway several meters wide quickly dropped down.
ah?
Everyone looked up in surprise, and saw that it was the Daxuan sailor who lowered the gangway on the deck. Through the railings, they could see that the battle on the deck had changed.
But I saw that Xiao Zhennan and his wife had already boarded the deck at some point. They were cleaning up the invading pirates on the deck.
Only then did the soldiers free their hands and lowered the gangway.
However, under the dancing light and shadow, Xu Zun also saw a dark figure shuttled among the pirates, leaving behind a corpse of a pirate wherever it went.
"No way?"
Xu Zun exclaimed and quickly turned around to look, but Ku Niang was already gone...
