When facing the "Thousand Scales Water Formation", Peng San could command the twenty-six ships of Okura City to use the "thorn fin technique" to avoid the artillery, but in the "Five Dragon Formation", he had to He had to control the boat by himself. This was because what he wanted to tattoo now was not the fin of a fish, but the fin of a dragon.
Seeing that the giant shark ship in front was only two miles away: the five "evil dragons" in the "Five Dragon Formation" had swam over and surrounded the "Golden Jade".
The main targets of the previous attacks by these "evil dragons" were the imperial navy of the five major water villages in Guangdong. After all, that was the opponent's main combat power, and the ships in Okura City were far behind in terms of quantity and firepower, and were not enough to defend them. Fear, but now the "Jinyu" rushed to the center of the formation, avoided several rounds of shelling, and was close to the eye of the "Five Dragons Formation", which alerted the pirate masters of the "Black Dragon Palace" and immediately mobilized All ships must remove this single thorn inserted into their fins.
Since the beginning of the naval battle at midnight, after this night of fierce fighting, the fifth watch has now passed, and it is the time of Yin and Mao. The eastern horizon is already dim, the dark blue sky is much brighter, and the wind is stronger than before. Some, but all I could see was white waves rolling on the sea, as high as four or five feet, and the warship was constantly rocking in the wind and waves.
Looking around from the bow of the "Jinyu", one can clearly see the heads of the five "evil dragons". The five giant shark warships are in a pentagonal position, surrounding the "Jinyu" in the center, and the ones originally following behind The other ships in Okura Castle are already three or four miles behind and are blocked outside the encirclement.[
This is an extremely disproportionate confrontation.
Each of the five battleships of the "Black Dragon Palace" is much larger than the "Jinyu", especially the giant shark ship directly in front, which is the tallest and largest one. The water on the side of the ship is more than four feet, like a city wall. The black holes of the hundreds of artillery on the side were daunting, and the gap in strength between the two sides was too great: the "Jinyu" seemed to have no chance of resisting its opponent.
At this time, Peng San was holding the steering wheel, his ugly face was full of fear, but his eyes were red, shining with excitement, and he screamed with a weird laugh: "You actually want to put a bag on me, haha , Okay, then let’s see how capable you are.”
He immediately shouted to Sima Rulan: "Ask all your men to come to the deck, I'm going to rush over with the boat!"
"Disciples from Wanjintang War Department, all board the deck and prepare to fight." Sima Rulan passed down the order.
Everyone on the "Golden Jade" knew that the critical moment had now come. Whether they could approach the giant shark ship or be sunk in the sea by the opponent's artillery, it was decided here.
"The right fore sail is full, the side sail is turned northwest, the starboard oarsman rows hard,..." Peng San shouted a series of instructions, and the steering wheel in his hand turned continuously: "Jinyu" was like an arrow off the string, suddenly turned and headed forward Rush away.
Almost at the same time, smoke was flying, thunder was roaring, and hundreds of artillery guns on the sides of the five giant shark ships were fired at the same time.
Just as a top swordsman can predict the direction of his opponent's sword, Peng San seemed to have already anticipated the location of the giant shark's artillery attack: under his control, the "Jinyu" miraculously avoided this round of artillery fire. , rushed out of Li Xu in an instant, and at this time, there was only less than a hundred feet away from the giant shark ship in front.
But at this time, the artillery on the five giant shark ships opened fire again, and this time the distance between the two sides was too close. Even if you have the ability to sail a supernatural ship, it is already too late to avoid it.
Only Peng San's loud voice like a crow was heard shouting: "People on the deck, get off the port side."
In an instant, all the disciples of the "Wanjintang" who were close to the left side of the ship jumped to the right, and only heard a "boom": the port side of the "Jinyu" had been hit by more than ten flying iron pieces at the same time, and wood chips were flying. During the process, a row of large holes was punched out on the side.
The impact of this shelling was huge: the port side of the "Jinyu" was almost completely shattered, the hull shook, and almost tipped over. Hua Bushi's footing was unstable and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Bai Yiling reacted quickly and was able to He stretched out his hand to hold the young master, and he was able to maintain his balance.
The disciples of the "Wanjin Hall" on the deck each had their own martial arts, and most of them stood firm. Sima Rulan, who was very strong in light kung fu, stood firmly on the spot. Only the Chief Qian Zhao Xuhai was clumsy on his feet and fell to the ground. , if he hadn't grabbed a thick rope on the side of the boat, he might have slipped into the sea.
At this moment, only a loud "bang" was heard: the "Jinyu" was shaken again, but it was the right side of the ship that collided with the tallest giant shark ship.
It turned out that Peng San had already known that at such a close range, he would definitely be able to avoid the artillery fire of the five opponent's warships, so he simply let the port side be hit by the artillery, and with the huge momentum of the "Jinyu" hull being hit by the artillery, he was It slid across the sea for dozens of feet and crashed directly into the giant ship with the head of the water dragon.
At the expense of the port side, in exchange for a distance of tens of feet, Peng San's courage was not bad. Although one side of the ship was damaged, the "Jinyu" finally made it to the giant shark headed by the opponent, and he finally completed it. Entrusted by Sima Rulan.
At this time, the two ships were together, and the other giant shark ships could no longer fire attacks on the "Jinyu", otherwise they would accidentally damage their own ships. The duel at this time only consisted of short-term attacks on the two ships. Soldiers meet.
The deck of the "Golden Jade" is only about ten feet high, which is more than half shorter than the four-foot-high side of the giant shark ship. If you want to climb on the giant shark ship and seize the ship, it is like siege on land. Before the disciples of "Wanjintang" could rush forward, more than ten ropes were already hanging from the sky to the deck, and dozens of pirates slid down quickly along the ropes.[
In the view of the pirates on the giant shark ship, the "Golden Jade" was just a small ship, and there were definitely not many people on board. There was no reason to be afraid of fighting hand to hand, so they boarded the ship first and attacked without any scruples.
Sima Rulan pulled out the long sword on his waist with a "swish" sound and shouted: "Everyone try your best to kill the pirates and seize the giant shark ship." After saying that, he rushed out with his sword.
In an instant, a melee broke out on the deck of the "Jinyu".
In terms of numbers, the pirates are indeed outnumbered, but the disciples of the "Wanjintang" on the "Golden Jade" are all elites selected from the guards of the city lord's palace, and their martial arts are not weak. At this time, seeing the city lord The eldest lady was the first to kill the enemy, which greatly boosted her morale. She was not afraid of the pirates who were several times larger than herself, and she fought bravely one by one without fear of death.
The deck of the "Jinyu" was soon stained red with blood. Some of it was the blood of the "Wanjintang" disciples, but more of the blood came from the pirates who rushed to the deck.
If a person is not afraid of death, he can often display extraordinary abilities in fighting: each of the more than sixty disciples of "Wanjintang" has the desire to fight to the death, and the fighting power they unleash is even more amazing, even if they are fierce The pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace" could not help but start to shrink back in fear.
And shrinking back in fear will only make them die faster.
Before long, more than thirty pirates who rushed to the deck of the "Golden Jade" were killed. The remaining ones fled in confusion, some retreated to the giant shark ship, and some jumped directly into the sea. , and the disciples of "Wanjintang" also injured more than ten people.
The last pirate on the deck of the ship was eliminated: the disciples of "Wanjintang" climbed along the ropes to the giant shark ship, trying to attack the enemy ship.
The height difference between the decks of the two ships was nearly three feet: Although the pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace" suffered a lot of casualties when they first engaged in the battle, they still had an advantage in numbers. At this time, they took advantage of the convenient location to defend: "Wanjintang" For a while, the disciples were unable to attack by force. Several disciples who managed to climb onto the deck of the giant shark were also besieged by the pirates and killed.
The manpower of both sides was at the intersection of the decks of the two ships, forming a tug-of-war of attack and defense, but it was a stalemate for a while.
At this time, a white shadow has jumped out quickly, and it only took one rise and fall before it swept below the deck of the giant shark ship. It flew another two feet and eight feet and reached the edge of the deck where the pirates were guarding. The shadow of the sword was seen flying like snowflakes in the cold light. When he came out, the three pirates blocking the front had all been struck by swords and fell down.
This white figure was none other than Sima Rulan. She stretched out her bare hands to support the thick rope beside her, raised her figure another five feet, and had already jumped onto the deck of the giant shark ship.
The "Black Dragon Palace" pirates on the deck discovered that the person who jumped up was actually a girl. They immediately screamed and waved their weapons to attack. Sima Rulan quickly drew out the steel sword in her hand, and the pirate who rushed forward was stabbed five times more. Six people.
Seeing that the eldest lady of the city lord had jumped onto the deck of the enemy ship first, the disciples of "Wanjintang" became more courageous. They climbed up one by one risking their lives to rush forward to protect the eldest lady. Soon there were several more He climbed onto the giant shark ship and fought with the pirates. The originally stalemate was about to be broken.
But at this time, I only heard someone shouting loudly: "Miss Lan'er, be careful behind you."
This is exactly the voice of Hua Bushi.
The two ships were close to each other, and the battle to seize the ship began. Sima Rulan and the disciples of "Wanjintang" all rushed to fight. Hua Bushi, who was skilled in martial arts, could not join the battle and stood still. Previously, the pirates attacked "Jinyu" When the pirates were sailing, several pirates tried to get close to attack, but were knocked down by Bai Yiling who was standing by and fired steel needles.
The eldest young master watched the battle from the observation deck, but he knew very well that although the current battle between the two sides was very fierce, there were many pirates, but they were not scary: the disciples of "Wanjintang" and Sima Ru Lan Jin can handle it, but the real threat is the master of the "Black Dragon Palace" on the giant shark ship.
The opponent's masters did not show up, indicating that these pirates were just sent to test their strength. Hua Bushi's eyes had been scanning around, searching for traces of the "Black Dragon Palace" masters, and when Sima Rulan jumped onto the giant When he was on the deck of the Shark ship, he finally made a discovery.
A man wearing green-gray cloth with disheveled hair appeared on the deck, and Hua Bushi recognized this man as Cui Qiting, the "Seventh Master" who had sneaked into Okura City with Lu Qiuhong.
