Chapter five hundred and twentieth guarding the boat
Once the flagship is captured, the other ships in the vanguard battalion will lose command, and Zhao Xuhai certainly understands the consequences.
But at this time, he had lost six of his seven souls, and his heart was completely occupied by panic and fear. He just wanted to save his life and return home, but he didn't care about much. He said: "The other party's ship is too fast, this ship must be
We can't escape, and the soldiers can't defeat the pirates. If we stay here, we're just waiting to die. It's better to go back to the central army and ask for reinforcements! You hurry up and prepare the ship, otherwise it will be too late!"
Escape means running away, and it also means asking for help. When Zhao Xuhai said these words, even he felt a little blushing.
Sun Li opened his eyes and said loudly: "This battle has been defeated so cowardly, and we and the leaders cannot escape the blame. Sun Li has decided to live and die with this ship. If Mr. Zhao wants to escape for his life, just escape by yourself!"
"
As a deputy general, Sun Li was always very respectful to Zhao Xuhai and had never disobeyed an order. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment today, his personality would be so strong.
Zhao Xuhai's face was green and white. After a long time, he said: "Well, let this ship be handed over to Vice Admiral Sun to take command. I will take a small boat to the Chinese fleet to fetch reinforcements!"
He hurriedly ordered his soldiers to prepare a small boat. However, before the wooden boat could be put into the sea, a huge earthquake occurred on the hull of the three-masted gunboat. A sea falcon rammed directly into the starboard side of the ship, followed by many
The hook flew up, and instantly, the sound of killing was loud, and dozens of pirates climbed up along the rope to the deck of the three-masted gunboat!
Then there were several more shocks, but three other chasing pirate ships also hit the ship one after another.
There was a "swish" sound, but it was Sun Li who had already pulled out the saber from his waist and shouted: "Brothers in the navy camp heard that this fox is too arrogant! Today we will fight to the death to defend the ship, and we must not do it."
Let the pirates take to the decks!"
After saying that, he jumped down from the observation deck, swung his knife and rushed towards the pirate who was about to climb onto the deck.
Everyone knows the ferocity of the pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace". No one will be left alive when executed, and there are only one or two escape boats on the big ship. For most soldiers, being captured by the pirates is a dead end.
Since there was no way out and the only option was to fight tooth and nail, the navy soldiers heard Sun Li's cry and rushed over with their weapons brandished!
A three-masted gunboat is a large warship. According to the naval battalion's establishment, there should be 200 soldiers on board. This ship is a flagship, and the number of people is larger than that of an ordinary warship. The total number of soldiers, crew and sailors is nearly 300.
.The number of pirates on the four Sea Falcon ships that came up now was almost 300. Suddenly, swords flashed, flesh and blood flew, and the two sides started a hand-to-hand battle on the edge of the deck and on the sides of the ship.
The combat power of the imperial navy soldiers is not as good as the "Black Dragon Palace" pirates who have been plundering at sea for many years. However, the three-masted gun ship has a large side and it is not easy for the pirates to climb up from the sea falcon ship. They stand on the edge of the deck.
The defending navy soldiers had the advantage of the geographical location, and for a while the two sides came and went, forming a tug-of-war.
Lieutenant General Sun Li took the lead and stood at the front with his sword. The navy soldiers struggled to resist the pirates who climbed up. The pirates climbed onto the deck several times, but they were all hacked back by the soldiers, and more than twenty people were injured.
In an instant, the edges of the three-masted gunboat deck were stained red with blood!
Zhao Xuhai did not participate in the battle. He was dragging a small wooden boat to the stern. Now the sides of the boat were blocked by pirate ships. He could only escape by putting the small wooden boat into the sea from the stern.
This Zhao Qian is always a smart person. A smart person will certainly not do stupid things, let alone risk his own life for a moment of bravery like Sun Li. Zhao Xuhai's newlywed wife is still waiting for him at home.
Even if there is a glimmer of hope of escape, he will not let it go.
It's just that the wooden escape boat on the ship is really not small, weighing two to three hundred kilograms. It's not easy for Zhao Xuhai to drag it by himself.
"Hey! You two come here and help me lift this wooden boat to the stern!"
Zhao Xuhai ordered the two navy soldiers, but the two soldiers ignored him and rushed straight to the front of the deck with their swords in hand.
Zhao Xuhai reached out and grabbed another soldier, "Stop! Come and help me lift the boat!"
But the soldier shook his shoulder and threw Zhao Xuhai's arm away, saying: "Master Zhao, carry it yourself, I'm going to kill the pirates!" After saying that, he ran towards the battle circle in front of the deck.
Zhao Xuhai knew that this soldier was the soldier who specialized in spying on military affairs, and Zhao Xuhai could clearly see the disdain in his eyes.
Zhao Xuhai is the vanguard officer of Zhengyin and the commander-in-chief of Tuolin Water Village. All these soldiers are his subordinates. However, there is always some blood in the soldiers. Even these soldiers in the water village who have been difficult to fight all year round, see
As a general, Zhao Xuhai was deeply despised for his behavior of escaping from the battle and refused to obey orders to help him carry the wooden boat.
Zhao Xuhai was angry and resentful in his heart. He thought that if he had the chance to go back, he would arrest these soldiers and give them a severe whip so that they would know the consequences of violating the general's order. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that
, everyone on this ship will probably die at the hands of pirates today, and there will definitely be little chance of going back.
At this moment, he suddenly heard several sad and strange laughter coming from the battle group on the deck. Zhao Xuhai looked back, only to see two red shadows flying up from the side of the ship and landing on the deck.
They were actually two people wearing blood-red cloaks. They both had their faces covered, and each held an exaggerated-shaped steel ax in their hands, which probably weighed dozens of kilograms.
Although Zhao Xuhai has never seen Qian Badou and Qian Jiukong in "Nine Dragon Sons" before, he can guess just from the lightness skills performed by these two people by leaping directly onto the two-foot-high deck and the weight of the strange-shaped weapons in their hands.
If you get them, they must be masters among the "Black Dragon Palace" pirates.
The "Two Demons of the Qian Family" got on the deck, their strange laughter kept coming, and the giant axes in their hands flashed. All the soldiers of the Navy were helpless to resist in their hands. In just a moment, there were more than ten of them.
The soldier's head was missing and he was beheaded on the ground. The defense line originally guarding the edge of the deck was immediately cut open.
For Qian Badou and Qian Jiukong, who are ruthless and masters of martial arts, killing ordinary soldiers is just a piece of cake, no more difficult than squeezing an ant to death.
At this time, Zhao Xuhai's expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "Vice General Sun, don't go!"
He saw Sun Li holding his sword and rushing towards one of the two "Black Dragon Palace" masters wearing blood-red cloaks. Although Sun Li had contradicted Zhao Xuhai a moment ago, he was Zhao Xuhai's old subordinate after all. The two were in Tuolin Village
We had worked together for many years and had some friendship. When Zhao Xuhai saw him rushing over to die so recklessly, he still couldn't bear it and couldn't help but speak out to stop him.
But the two were far apart, and Sun Li didn't hear Zhao Xuhai's cry at all. Even if he heard it, he probably wouldn't pay attention. He walked forward quickly, and soon rushed in front of Qian Jiukong, raising his knife to chop!
The Qian brothers jumped up and killed more than ten people in a row. The soldiers of the Navy were all afraid and retreated one after another. Qian Jiukong was proud of himself, but he didn't expect that there were people who were not afraid of death and rushed up at this moment.
He swung his ax to block the incoming steel knife, raised his foot and flew out, hitting Sun Li in the chest!
Qian Jiukong's kick used up his internal strength, and Sun Li was kicked by him. Several bones in his chest were broken by the kick, and the steel knife in his hand flew out and fell into the sea! But Sun Li took advantage of the situation.
He hugged Qian Jiukong's thigh and shouted: "Everyone, come together and kill this person!"
While shouting, blood foam spurted out from his mouth.
Sun Li had never practiced martial arts, but as a military attache, he had also practiced some wrestling skills. He knew that he was no match for Qian Jiukong, so he fought hard to get a kick, hugged the opponent's thigh, and ordered the soldiers
They all rushed forward, hoping to kill this person in one fell swoop.
Seeing this, the navy soldiers who had retreated rushed forward one after another, each raising their steel swords and slashing at Qian Jiukong!
Although Qian Jiukong was a master, Sun Li hugged his thigh tightly, but he could not use Qinggong and body skills to dodge. More than a dozen steel knives came at him, making him panic, swinging his giant ax east and west to block, "Chi!
"There was a sound, but the left arm had been slashed with a knife!
When the surrounding soldiers saw that the demonic pirate master was injured, they all rushed forward and chopped him into pieces with their swords!
But at this moment, a red shadow was seen flying towards him. Amidst the sound of gold and iron clashing, the steel knives that were slashing at Qian Jiukong were all blocked. The cold light flashed again. A soldier had his throat cut and fell to the ground.
.However, Qian Badou realized that his brother was in danger and flew to rescue him. When the giant ax hit, he immediately forced away the navy soldiers who rushed forward.
Qian Jiukong finally got free time, swung his ax and cut off the two arms that were clinging to his thighs, and then cut off Sun Li's head with a backhand axe!
Sun Li was killed, and the "Two Demons of the Qian Family" became even more merciless, killing many more people in an instant. The navy soldiers guarding the edge of the deck had no choice but to retreat, and the pirate minions also climbed up one after another.
The Qian brothers are nicknamed "Two Demons". They have always killed people without calculation. They are regarded as monsters in the South China Sea. Not only are they ruthless in their attacks, but their Qinggong is even more powerful. Even ordinary martial arts masters can hardly hurt them. Today Qian Jiukong
He was unexpectedly stabbed by this group of navy soldiers who were even worse than ants in his opinion. He couldn't help but feel furious and could not suppress his anger. He shouted sternly: "Young men, kill everyone on this ship and leave no one behind!"
Previously, thanks to the advantageous location at the edge of the deck, the soldiers on the ship could barely resist the pirates. Now that the pirates had climbed onto the deck, it was even more difficult for the navy soldiers to resist. They suffered heavy casualties and were killed and retreated steadily.
"Brothers of Tuolin Village! All listen to my general's orders, retreat to the center of the deck, and form a circular formation for defense!"
Just when the navy soldiers were unable to resist the enemy and were about to be defeated, they suddenly heard a loud shout, and the person who shouted the shout was Zhao Xuhai, the pioneer officer of Qian Commander.
Seeing Sun Li's death just now, Zhao Xuhai felt sad and angry. Everyone has blood, and as a naval general, he was no exception. If he was thinking about escaping before, but now there is no one to help him move the wooden boat.
Escape is no longer possible. Since there is only one dead end in front of us, it is better to die in a dignified battle than to be slaughtered like a mouse!
