Xu Zun thought to himself, it seems that the original purpose of these pirates was not to destroy the warship, but to control the warship for their own use.
However, now that they saw Xu Zun and others seizing the deck, they could not capture the warship, so they had to find a way to burn it!
Put it this way...
Xu Zun guessed, are the pirates also very anxious? They are also worried that Daxuan's army will counterattack. Do they want to loot Yongming City and then take away these three warships?
However, time was tight and there was no room for Xu Zun to think more.
As more and more kerosene bottles were thrown on the deck, the air was filled with a pungent smell, and a fire was about to break out.
Whoosh...
The rockets were fired straight into the ship, threatening to ignite a fire.
Huo Anu, with quick eyes and quick hands, immediately swept the iron umbrella across and knocked the rocket away.
The rocket hit the side of the boat and landed. Fortunately, the flames had been extinguished and it almost ignited the kerosene...
At this moment, Li Xing and others were slashing at the gangway with their swords, because many enemies were already climbing up the gangway.
As the ramp was cut off, the climbing enemy fell into the water together with the ramp, causing a large splash.
Tsk...tsk...
But as more and more rockets flew onto the deck, Huo Anu and others could no longer take care of it, and finally a rocket ignited the kerosene on the ground.
boom……
Fire suddenly rose into the sky and burned on the deck.
"Quickly, put out the fire... put out the fire..."
Hou Zhen screamed in panic, but he couldn't find anything to extinguish the fire.
no!
This can't go on...
Xu Zun quickly thought and rushed to the other side of the warship to look at the second warship.
Three warships were lined up side by side at the deep-water dock. When Xu Zun looked at the warship sandwiched in the middle, he saw the sails of the warship suddenly falling from the sky.
Wow…
The sails are lowered and fluttering in the wind!
Looking at the center of the warship, as the pirates turned the turntable, the huge anchor had surfaced...
I click!
Xu Zun was shocked, and then he realized that the other two warships had already been occupied by the pirates. This was the pirates pulling up the anchor and preparing to drive the warship out of the dock!
boom……
At this moment, fires broke out everywhere on the deck where Xu Zun was, and the fire spread rapidly and became more and more out of control.
"Everyone, come over here quickly and gather!" Xu Zun immediately had an idea in his mind and shouted to everyone.
After everyone heard this, they had no choice but to give up putting out the fire and all came to Xu Zun.
"Which soldier just said that," Xu Zun asked loudly, "This ship has not been loaded with ammunition and supplies?"
"It's me!" A soldier in the crowd stood up and answered.
"What about the other two ships?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Are they all installed?"
"Reporting to you, sir," the soldier replied, "the other two ships have been equipped with weapons and ammunition, as well as a small amount of supplies."
"Okay!" Xu Zun asked his subordinates, "We now... must seize the warship in the middle and not let it leave the dock!"
ah?
this……
Everyone looked at the warship in the middle. Although they were lined up side by side, the decks of the two ships were more than ten meters apart, making it difficult to pass.
"Sir," the soldier said quickly, "we do have a plank built between the two ships. This is for the convenience of unloading. But..."
The soldier looked worriedly at the opposite side, but saw that the deck opposite was full of pirates, and many of them were looking at him eagerly.
If the wooden boards are put up now, the consequences can be imagined.
Gu Shen
At this moment, the pirates on the Warship Hill opposite were busy opening the sails and stowing away the anchor, and at the same time they were busy untying the ropes fixed to the dock, trying to drive the warship away.
"Master Xu," at this time, Xiao Zhennan and his wife came to Xu Zun and volunteered, "We can go there, but we need your remote support and we must board the ship as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" Xu Zun was thinking about this. When he saw that the couple had a way, he immediately agreed. He rushed to Shangguan Min and others and ordered, "Everyone, get your bows and arrows ready!"
"yes!"
While the guards were preparing their bows and arrows, Xu Zun asked the soldiers to prepare the planks for the boat, and at the same time asked Zhao Yu and A Ni to prepare for the charge.
call……
At this time, the warship Xu Zun and others were on was already on fire, and the pirates on the dock were still throwing kerosene bottles.
The fire quickly spread to the mast, and then to the tightly wrapped sails, making it difficult for the first warship to be saved.
Xu Zun and others were all on the other side of the ship, and they had already turned their attention to the warship in the middle.
Seeing that the preparations were completed, Xiao Zhennan and his wife looked at each other and immediately tied the flying tiger claws they carried with them to the rope.
Then, the two of them rotated the rope at the same time, using the centrifugal force of the rope to throw it to the distant mast.
This scene seemed familiar, Xu Zun seemed to have seen it in Pirates of the Caribbean, but after seeing the couple hanging the rope on the opposite mast, they swung to the deck of the opposite warship like a swing.
The two men arrived suddenly, and the pirates on the deck rushed around to attack. The guards immediately fired arrows to support them, shooting down many pirates immediately.
At the same time, the soldiers set up several wooden planks and put them on the sides of the two ships. Zhao Yu and A Ni did not wait for the planks to be completely set up, but they had already jumped onto the planks and rushed towards the opposite warship.
Immediately afterwards, the freed-up guards also boarded the planks one after another and quickly rushed to the second warship.
As soon as Zhao Yu and A Ni landed, they separated with a tacit understanding. A Ni wielded the Qingling sword to kill the pirates who were retreating from the side of the ship, while Zhao Yu quickly grabbed the wooden board and asked the people behind to follow quickly.
The pirates were not fools. They quickly realized that Xu Zun and others wanted to seize the ship, so they quickly put aside their tasks and surrounded them to attack.
boom……
Someone fired a gun and hit the guard who was sitting on the wooden board. The guard fell over in pain and fell into the sea.
However, the shooter was quickly shot by a bow and arrow from nowhere and died.
Soon, most of the guards had boarded the ship, leaving only the soldiers on the first ship and Xu Zun.
"Sir! You go first..." The soldier from before held the wooden board and let Xu Zun pass first.
"No!" Unexpectedly, Xu Zun pulled him over and quietly gave him the order.
"Ah? Do you really want to do this?" The soldier was shocked after hearing this.
"We are in such dire straits that we have no choice but to do this!" Xu Zun said sternly, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have to risk our lives to rescue you!"
"Yes! Yes...I understand..." The soldier understood what Xu Zun meant, immediately waved his hand, and started to cross the bridge with his comrades.
Since there were more than one plank put up, Xu Zun did not go to the end and immediately boarded another plank with Ku Niang to prepare to cross the bridge.
boom……
At this moment, the first warship was already in flames. The flames reaching into the sky had already engulfed the auxiliary mast and sails, and the main mast was also half on fire.
The entire deck of the warship was a sea of fire. As the ropes burned and fell off, one of the masts and the sails tilted, just hitting the wooden board where Xu Zun and Ku Niang were sitting.
Squeak button...
The mast made a heavy muffled sound and hit Xu and Zun directly on their heads.
I'm crazy...
Xu Zun looked back and didn't expect that he was so far behind.
"Sir! No..." Ani saw the mast smashed down, but she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. The raw water could not quench her thirst.
When Han Feier, who was fighting fiercely with the pirates, saw this, he immediately grabbed the rope that had been used to board the ship, trying to throw Xu Zun over so that they could grab the rope and escape.
However, as soon as she grabbed the rope, someone shot from behind.
The gunpowder bullet hit Han Feier's back. Despite the pain, the rope did not swing to the designated position...
It was too late and then it was too late. Seeing that the huge mast was about to fall down, Xu Zun was heartbroken and prepared to jump into the sea with Ku Niang in his arms.
Xu Zun knew that if he jumped into the sea, he might still survive, but if he waited on the board and was smashed, he would definitely die.
However, as soon as he reached out his hand, Ku Niang took the lead and hugged him!
Immediately afterwards, Ku Niang kicked hard on the wooden board, and then jumped into the air with Xu Zun...
