Sima Shang and Xiahou Ang led the fleet to wait on the periphery, and Yun Xiao's meaning was obvious that they were here to make up the numbers. However, this is also exactly what the two of them want, and the prince asked them to bring the fleet back intact. It's best not to confront those water bandits who don't want to die, otherwise you will inevitably get hurt.

Eight turtle boats split into two teams, one of which cruised around the perimeter to destroy the fleeing bandits. A team of three-bow bed crossbows kept bombarding the water village on the island in the middle of the lake, and the huge gate of the water village was pierced by four short spears at the same time. In the four almost connected rumbling sounds, the huge gate suddenly turned into a pile of broken wood.

Shi Hu was so frightened that he was about to make the crossbowmen on the walled city withdraw. The wooden turret exploded, and the blasted bandits waved their arms in the air, trying in vain to catch something, but they still fell freely into the lake.

Wisps of gunpowder crossbows with green smoke kept exploding in the water wall, and scattered sawdust and corpses sank and floated on the water. The crossbow in the water village couldn't reach the turtle boat in the distance, and the crossbow bolts shot fell into the water half the distance from the turtle boat.

Yun Xiao held the binoculars and constantly directed the direction of the turtle ship's attack.

"The general's stronghold is almost cleared, and it's time for the brothers to land."

Zhang Shisan had already been unable to bear it, and he grinded his fists and palms to go ashore.

"The gunpowder crossbow can stop firing and let the ships on the periphery come over. Use the iron-tire crossbow to shoot some more resistance forces, and it is not easy to land and kill a few fewer people. ”

Yun Xiao put down the binoculars, and the stronghold in the water village had been cleaned up. Now it's good to sweep the landing beachhead with an iron-tired crossbow, and the dock on the island in the middle of the lake is now on fire. The turtle boat could not be docked, and the townsfolk on the boat had to land in a small boat.

Yun Xiao was a little uneasy. A dinghy can only hold a dozen people. Eight turtle boats were no more than eight dinghys, and a hundred and ten men were to stay on the beachhead until the second wave came ashore. It's not easy.

"Brother, let's send someone to contact General Sima and General Xiahou. With their support. We're getting better. It is said that there are still seven or eight thousand water bandits on the island, three or four times the number of us. If you want to win, I am afraid that there will be a lot of casualties. ”

The sling on Liu Cheng's shoulder has been removed, but the activity is not very flexible.

"Bring them in to make up the numbers, and let them go up when they attack the island, and the spoils of war will give them a share. I don't want to, and I won't give them an order if I don't want to show them the size of the fleet.

If you want to say that the most powerful people on the water are pirates, where is the turn to get this gang of water bandits. Pirates are the real jackals of the water. ”

Yun Xiao saw that Liu Cheng was more nervous, and nervousness during the war would be contagious. Especially the generals. Their every move was watched by the soldiers, and the general who led the team had a nervous expression on his face. Then the whole team of soldiers he brought will tremble with fear, such a person will lose one percent of his momentum on the battlefield, and it is really not easy to survive. At this time, it is better to let them think of something else, such as Pirates of the Caribbean.

"What, pirate. Haven't you heard of it, it's amazing? ”

"Amazing, hum, the water bandits in Dongting Lake are plague chickens compared to them. The guys had a silk cloth tied around their heads and a scimitar in their hands. Usually the leader has only one eye. The other one was blind and covered with a black ragged cover.

They carried a black flag with a large skull painted on it, and a large fork made of two thigh bones. These people don't want to die when they fight, and they dare to jump when they grab a rope and swing it. Many people's hands were cut off. A curved iron hook was tied to the severed arm. When facing the enemy, if you hook down, half of your life will be gone.

After robbing something at sea, they went to the island to drink and play with women, and I heard that they buried all their treasures in a place where no one could find them. Legend has it that the land was heaped with mountains of gold, and silver was as plentiful as the sea. There are also countless pearl babies. A map of the location of the treasure was drawn on parchment, and I heard that it was divided into several sets to find it. ”

Liu Cheng's eyes were round by Yun Xiao's flickering eyes. The old man with an open mouth and a drooling old man. The eyes are very misty, close to a dreamy state. The guards next to him also listened with a yearning on their faces, eager to go to the beach now and find the lost treasures of those pirates.

Ignoring these heartless things, Yun Xiao commanded the iron-tired crossbow on the turtle ship to name the exposed water bandits one by one.

The effect of the iron-tired crossbow was obvious, and not a single bandit dared to stop within three hundred steps of the shore.

"The first people to come ashore are all sword and shield men, and after going ashore, don't rush forward and stand in a place where you can stand."

Yun Xiao instructed the bear who led the team that there must be such a fierce general in the first batch of landings. Otherwise, the team can easily be overwhelmed.

"Master Hou, don't worry, the bear has been waiting impatiently for a long time. Damn, I'll never take a boat again next time. ”

It seems that this guy is tormented by life on the water, and patted the bear on the shoulder. Yun Xiao began to instruct the soldiers who were about to land one by one.

The dinghy was lowered into the water, and the soldiers continued to descend the soft ladder to the dinghy. These young villagers finally had a chance to go to war, and Yun Xiao saw more excitement than fear in their eyes. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, because calves do not know the horror of tigers. War is much more terrible than a tiger, because since ancient times it has devoured much more human lives than tigers.

Only veterans who have been on the battlefield will know the horror of war, Yun Xiao did not see the light of excitement in the eyes of the bear, only the eye feces left by washing his face in the morning.

The murky water of the lake kept lapping the boat, which was less than two feet long, and the waves were smashed one by one. The soldiers rowed forward with all their might, and the captain shouted the trumpet to coordinate the paddling movements. The dinghy finally rushed to the beachhead, and the soldiers grabbed a huge shield to protect their chests.

The dinghy quickly turned around, and the way back could only be rocked by the captain.

Crossbow arrows were constantly being shot from behind various buildings and rocks, and from time to time some of the soldiers who rushed forward were shot and fell into the water. The huge shield provided them with effective protection, and after rushing forward for more than thirty paces, the bear ordered to form a shield wall. There were only ten crossbowmen in the first group, and they all had iron-tired crossbows in their hands.

Yun Xiao commanded the three-bow bed crossbow on the turtle ship, using the gunpowder crossbow to constantly suppress the crossbowmen of the water bandits. Explosions rang out one after another, and the billowing smoke almost blocked people's vision. From time to time, bandits were blown up by gunpowder crossbows and fell to the ground along with the rubble.

The lake bandits are fierce, for their dignity and not to be hacked to death by Shi Hu, who oversees the war. Don't kill you, rush towards the little shield of the bears.

Like the waves crashing on a reef on the sea, the bandits were smashed to pieces, but they did not move. The two sides scuffled, and the people on board could no longer support the beachhead soldiers with long-range weapons. Now they can only rely on themselves, and the skills they have practiced hard for more than a month have demonstrated their value at this moment.

The bear's huge mace exerted great power in the crowd, and it really did stop the crowd. The mace with the sound of the wind was picked up, and no one dared to parry it directly. The wolf could only dodge in all directions, and a muscular water bandit was only swept into the shield. Even the man with the shield was swept away, and before he could get up, the huge mace had fallen on top of his head.

The skull was smashed open like a rotten watermelon, and red and white splashed everywhere. The two eyeballs seem to be two glass balls, squeezed into the air. fell to the ground and was trampled into two bubbles of water by the surging flow of people.

There were four or five hundred water bandits rushing to the front, and the numerical advantage was obvious. No matter how brave the villagers are, they can't make up for the disparity in numbers. Casualties began to occur, and as soon as they fell to the ground, they were chopped into meat sauce with harpoon machetes.

The bear's eyes were red, and the iron armor on his body was stained with blood. The huge consumption of his body made his lungs gasp like bellows, and he couldn't hear anything in his ears except for his own huge wheezing.

It was as if something had bitten on the shoulder, and it was a crossbow arrow. I actually shot into the gap in the armor, and my arm began to feel a little inflexible.

"Damn, it's enough to kill one, and two to earn one." The bear scolded his mother.

After slapping one of the rushing bandits to death, the bear freed up his hand and pulled out the crossbow arrow inserted into the flesh, and casually threw it at another rushing bandit, and then the whole person howled and crashed over. The lake bandit was so frightened that he couldn't move under his feet, and it felt like he had been hit by a huge bull. Blood spurted from his mouth and nose and flew out.

More than 100 villagers have already suffered half of the casualties, and they are about to be driven down the lake. Dai Yu led the second group of village warriors to land, and the iron-tired crossbow and gunpowder crossbow frantically shot the reinforcements of the water bandits. The bandits who washed down from the island suffered heavy casualties and were unable to effectively reinforce the beachhead. A few corpses fell in the path of almost every charge, and some guys who were unlucky enough to be hit by gunpowder crossbows were scattered all over the ground.

Dai Yu rushed up with his Iron Guard brothers and slashed with his saber, and the sharp saber caused great damage to the lake bandits. The blades that dared to resist were all cut off, and then the owner of the blade. Dai Yu and his brothers were like an efficient meat grinder, blood flying everywhere they passed, and stumps and severed arms flew in all directions.

The lake bandits who rushed up before, plus the few lake bandits who came over, were actually knocked back by Dai Yu's counter-charge. Thirty paces away from the beachhead was a slaughterhouse for Shura, and stains of blood seeped into the brown dirt. Soon the earth began to saturate, and the blood no longer seeped down but flowed across.

The boots are slippery and slippery, not someone has fallen, and when they get up again, they have become bloody.

Dai Yu and Cangxiong led their respective teams to chase down the fleeing lake bandits, and they were like vicious dogs with huge wolf teeth bared. Tearing apart a Qiē opponent who dared to face them, the lake bandits, who were already known for their ferocity, were chased and killed like sheep.

When the third batch of landed Zhang 13 came ashore, they had already killed a hundred steps away. (To be continued......)
