Rumble!

A walker didn't have time to adjust the direction, and suddenly crashed into the very large merchant ship with the contrast, although before the collision there were several seamen on the ship who saw that the situation was not good and jumped into the river, there were still several sailors who could not react, and the three of them were directly driven out by the inertia of the collision, and slapped straight on the merchant ship, and dyed a red on the hull when they boarded, and the rest of the people were pierced by the broken keel after the trip was broken, and floated on the river with a wail.

When the worst thing in the world comes, it's easy to die, but it's too difficult to live.

The wailing was only a moment, and the well-trained crossbowmen of the merchant ship fired the crossbow arrows in a volley, although most of them were not used to the difference between the ships floating on the river and the crossbows on land, but in an instant, more than a dozen crossbow arrows were fired in one volley, and the shouting stopped abruptly.

Before he could catch his breath, several ships on the river outside the three hulls came quickly, and there was a loud shout from the cabin, "Turn left!" ”

In an instant, more than a dozen oars on the right side of the head stern were violently raised out of the water, and the oarsman on the left side shouted the trumpet in the cabin, but in a few breaths, the ship turned to the left in the rapid movement, and flashed obliquely out of the hull to reveal the two rows of bitter men on the deck holding crossbows and crossbows on the sea, they were obviously very familiar with water warfare, and they could still maintain their balance in the rapid turn of the ship, although their bodies kept shaking the bow and crossbow in their hands, they were always aiming at the side chord of the merchant ship, and then the sound of the strings crumbling was endless, and more than a dozen feathered arrows and crossbows were sent off the string. On the side chord of the merchant ship, there was a sound of 'do-do-do' arrows into the wood.

There were a few screams from the side chords of the merchant ships, followed by two heavy objects entering the water, and it was clear that they had shot several Cao soldiers.

Almost immediately after the salvo of the crossbow and crossbow on the left, the ship was on par with the merchant ship at the distance of the three people's open arms, and the sea coke on the right put the bow and crossbow on the deck under his feet, and threw the hook lock in his hand to the side of the ship, more than ten two-zhang long hooks were rounded and thrown, and the iron hooks made a palpitating whistling sound in mid-air, and then half of them were hooked on the side chord, and the rest hit the side of the ship before falling into the water and were dragged back to the ship by the very strong sea coke to throw the hook again.

The pirates on the left had already run behind the pirates on the right at this time, and shot at the Cao army who were hooking the rope of the ship's wall with a strong crossbow and a hard bow, in case someone cut off the hook. At the same moment, the pirates who had accurately missed the hook had already jumped into the water with their blades and two bare feet dragging the hook into the water, swimming towards the merchant ship.

Cao Jun is not an ordinary person, although they are not good at water warfare, but in the end it is the elite on land, although the attack is panicked, but will not make a cowardly act like a new pawn, they have crossbows to the attacking water thieves to return fire, both sides have killed and injured each other, in the end the merchant ship is huge, plus the ship wall is condescending, even if the attack on the top of the arrow shooting, it will also cause heavy casualties to the attacker.

However, this advantage can only be maintained by Cao Jun for a moment, the rear of the pirates has arrived, the boat seems to be a pack of wolves on the river first hit the merchant ship straight forward, followed by the left and right tricks repeatedly, in the blink of an eye, there are hundreds of arrows inserted on the side of the ship, but also teach the boat Cao Jun was completely suppressed, dare not raise his head.

Compared with the wolves that will only appear on the grassland to attack the huge merchant ships, the small boat melee that has been around the Cao army's ship array is really shocking, boarding and broadside battles are just commonplace for the Haikou under Xuezhou, in the early years, they used this method to rob the passing fleet along the Qingxu coast, and Xuezhou's power is also in the process of robbing the fleet, but the real advantage of the pirates is not to seize the ship, but to be proficient in water.

The situation in the ship formation on the river has been chaotic, Cao Cao, who has never fought a water battle, did not expect that the enemy army would use a small boat to break through the protection of the merchant ship and plunge into the ship formation, and now the command is completely disrupted, in addition to more than ten merchant ships on the front and back can also see his flag, the small boat formation composed of the ship has been mostly self-care, the war in the water is not as good as on the land, as long as the fleet is chaotic, the compact distance between the walking boats collides with each other, and there are not a few people who fall into the water!

If this is not enough to make Cao Cao frightened, Cao's army will fall into the water due to the collision of ships, and the enemy will also fall into the water, but the biggest difference between the two sides is that as long as the enemy army does not die after falling into the water, it will not take long for him to burst out of the water from the surrounding ships, but Sergeant Cao will fall into the water, then it will really sink to the bottom!

Cao Cao now understands why these enemy soldiers are dressed like beggars, with a thin leather armor on their bodies at most, no iron shoes in their pockets, and all of them are barefoot and holding short knives shouting and rushing to kill...... Because it's light!

Even if the Cao soldiers are a little good at water, they don't have time to take off their heavy armor in an emergency, and they are enough to swim in the water with twenty or thirty pounds of iron scale armor, plus Cao Jun's multi-layer linen clothes that are neatly prepared for winter, heh! Compared with these lightly armed pirates, it is simply the difference between the fish and the king!

No matter how thick the armor is, it can't absolutely protect the body, and you can always prevent the key points when you fight on the road, but you can fight with these pirates in the water?

The water thief carried a small short knife less than two feet and greeted him directly at the inner elbow, under the ribs, and under the legs, or by the neck, and he couldn't stop it with a quasi-block!

Where can Sergeant Cao still have a little way to live?

But if you fall into the water and are seen by pirates, it is most likely to be a death. Although there is less than one lieutenant department in total, there are only a few more than a thousand people in the Cao army's ship formation, and dozens of small boats can be drilled into the Cao army's hundreds of ships.

As long as he didn't stop the enemy ship with a bow and crossbow at first, he stepped into the Hades Hall with one foot, and life and death were completely out of his own hands!

At this time, Cao Cao was still thinking about turning defeat into victory at first, after all, it was only a moment to hit the ship formation from the sea bandits, and at the beginning of the battle, he could suppress the enemy with a chaotic arrow from the Cao army, and now even if the chaos is shown, it is only the right wing ship formation that only affects dozens of small boats, but who knows that the flag is beaten only to find that the three merchant ships on the right wing do not obey the call at all, and then take a closer look at the huge merchant ships have already been mixed together, and the sea bandits have boarded to grab the ship!

At this moment, a merchant ship was actually controlled, swaying towards the only fighting ship in his own ship array, but all the soldiers on the way rushed over regardless of the enemy or the enemy, where the huge frame and huge weight of the merchant ship could compete with the small boat, it was crushed into a blink of an eye, so frightened that Cao Cao hurriedly waved the command flag to order the rest of the fleet to retreat westward, and then ordered the fighting ship to break through from the left front, so frightened that his head was smoking, where was the chic of the previous glass of wine to the river god!
