Chapter 61 Liwei

Jinou Island, as its name, is shaped like a Jinou. In the middle is a nearly circular and wide sea surface, next to it is a knife-cut cliff, and the exit is a waterway less than a mile wide. If you only look from the outside, no one will think that there will be a hole inside.

Fan Jinsheng looked outside the terrain and said with a long smile: "Cui Qian is dead!" He then blocked the exit and was confident to get all of Cui Qian and the pirates who were attached to him.

Cui Qian personally climbed to the high look upstairs, raised his eyes for thousands of miles, and saw Fan Jinsheng's behavior clearly. He curled his lips, smiled faintly, raised his eyes for thousands of miles, and looked at the farther sea. There are blue waves on the sea, and the white waves rushing under the instiation of the sea breeze, like thousands of troops and horses, layer by layer, endless, magnificent, making people suddenly heroic.

Cui Qian didn't move until a little red sail shadow appeared in Qianli's eyes that he smiled.

"It's been half a month since I've been with his mother, and I finally took him to the pit." Cui Qian put down Qianli's eyes, gently pounded his sore arm because he held up Qianli's eyes for too long, and slowly went down to the watchtower. On the flying inn, more than a dozen pirate leaders were looking at him eagerly. Although they wore military uniforms such as military sima and military marquis, their standing posture and facial expressions revealed their pirates, which was a completely different contrast with Cui Yan and others next to them.

"General, can you fight this time?" A one-eyed dragon pirate with a beard asked loudly, "It's too suffocated to be chased by this black monkey. If the general doesn't fight, I'll fight."

"The one-eyed eagle, you are so bold that you dare to shout in front of Master Cui. Aren't you afraid that the wind flashes your tongue?" A pirate with a knife face and a military marquis costume sneered, "Can you fight? Master Cui doesn't know in his heart. Do you want to talk more?"

"Your mother, don't I feel panicked?" The one-eyed eagle snorted dissatisfiedly: "Since we fought with the general, when have we been chased like this? Why do I feel like I'm back to the time when I used to work alone?

"Do you still want to work alone?" Cui Qian grinned and pulled his face, as if he were smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes. The one-eyed eagle shivered and shook his head repeatedly: "General, that's not what I mean. I just said..."

"You mean, my old Cui is incompetent. He was kicked out like a yellow croaker and only knew how to escape, right?"

The one-eyed eagle swallowed his saliva and had no courage to refute. He shrank his neck and hid to one side. The knife strip looked at him proudly and smiled again: "Master Cui, can't you not fight this time? This has been blocked here. If we don't give them something, we can't go out.

"Who said I was going to run?" Cui Qian's cold eyes swept away, and the smile on the knife's face stiffened, which was also a little uncomfortable. Cui Qian pointed to the Funan sailors who were platooning in the distance and said flatly, "I know that you are scared by these Funan sailors. No wonder they have eight or nine thousand people and more than one hundred boats, while we have only four thousand and fifty or sixty boats here, and they don't seem to have the same heart. Many brothers don't seem to have much confidence in me. He turned his head and glanced at the different pirates and said, "Maybe there are still a few of you who are thinking about whether to cut off my old Cui's head to ask for credit."

"This... How is this possible?" The knife's face said with a dry smile.

"It's okay." Cui Qian waved his hand calmly: "I'm also asking for a living on the sea. I did a lot of things behind this back in those years. You have this intention. I don't blame you. Let me run with people for half a month, and I will also move this mind." He laughed so much that many pirates changed their faces. "However, my old Cui hasn't fallen to that point yet. Funan sailors are all here, and everyone is a little guilty. It's understandable that they don't want to break their brothers, which is normal. It happens that my old Cui's hands are also itchy. It's easy to catch a big one, so I won't be polite to you. Please step back a little bit to see if my old Cui comes to clean up these Funan sailors, and also ask you to identify whether my old Cui's killing skills have regressed, and whether this knife is still beneficial or not.

When the pirates heard it, although their expressions were different, they were relieved. Half a month ago, the Funan Marine Division moved. Cui Qian ran away with these pirates. He couldn't even fight Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen. He ran on the sea for half a month. Now he is blocked here by the Funan Marine Division. He must not be able to get out without a bloody battle. Comparing the strength of both sides, although the pirates know that Cui Qian's building ship is strong, after all, there is only one building ship and more than 20 medium-sized warships here. It is really hard to say whether they can win as before in the face of twice as many Funan Marines. It's okay to make a fortune with Cui Qian, and it's time to consider it to die with Cui Qian. In the past half month, more than half of the pirates who had followed Cui Qian to rob have run away. These people still have confidence in Cui Qian, but the difficulties in front of them are so great that they can't help thinking about their future. What they were most afraid of was that Cui Qian pushed them to the front and asked them to fight with Funan sailors first. In that case, none of them would have a way to survive.

Now Cui Qian said that they don't need to go to the battle. They are finally relieved. With Cui Qian's strength, even if they can't win, it is estimated that the Funan sailors will be in chaos for a while. At that time, it depends on the situation. Whether to rush to help Cui Qian, or kill Cui Qian to ask for credit, or not helping each other, looking for an opportunity to escape, you can choose.

The one-eyed eagle pinched his nose and hesitated for a moment: "General, I'll go with you."

Cui Qian glanced at him and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but this time I, Cui, am stingy. I want to eat alone, and I don't want to share a piece of the pie with you."

The one-eyed eagle didn't talk and retreated. Cui Qian was not polite and waved his hand: "You all go back to the ship. Old Cui, I'm going to kill the flag later, and I don't have time to chat with you anymore. When I take down Fan Jinsheng's skull, I will invite you to eat the monkey soup.

The pirates laughed twice and went back to their own ships. Cui Yan looked at the pirates who left in a hurry and said worriedly, "Brother, why don't you pull them together? We..."

"Are you afraid of hair?" Cui Qian scolded, "Do I still need their help?" Are these people who can help?"

Cui Yan muttered a few words and dared not say anything more. Cui Qian took his voice and said, "Don't you know the moral surnames of these people? If you expect them to fight, can you guarantee that they won't fight back? At that time, I will be defeated at the beginning. Isn't it harmful to my military morale? Besides, these people have always been cruel and unyalous. We have been hiding behind, and it is inevitable that they will be unconvinced. Don't take advantage of the prestige of today's World War I and let them see the strength of the Yue Guo Marine Division. Sooner or later, it will change. Let him see our strength in this battle, and they will be much more peaceful in the future.

Cui Yan suddenly realized that she nodded with admiration and said worriedly, "However, our troops are too different. Once the war situation is not smooth, what should these pirates do from behind?"

"Hey hey, you know nothing." Cui Qian smiled and scolded, "You only see more than 3,000 people here. Why don't you think about General Zhuge and General Wei?"

"Are they coming?" Cui Yan was overjoyed, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"If they don't come, how can I enter this dead place?" Cui Qian sneered proudly and scolded fiercely, "Fan Jinsheng thought he had blocked me, and he didn't think about it. If I didn't want to be blocked by him, he would break his intestines and couldn't wait for me to eat. This monkey, who had just taken off his hair, still wanted to fight with me. This time, he was like Fan Yan. He cut off his skull and sent it to Fan Man. He turned around and waved his hand in high spirits: "Go down the sail, raise the Thunderbolt cannon and the crossbow cart, raise the clapping pole, let the brothers cheer up, clean up Fan Jinsheng, and I will take them to the port of Oe to have fun!"

As soon as Cui Yan and others heard this, they were full of spirits. Under the order, everyone was busy. The battle flag was raised on the building ship, the sails fell, and the "rumbling" sound sounded. Countless big holes appeared on the originally straight deck. Four Thunderbolts and fifteen giant crossbows slowly rose up. The soldiers quickly stood on their posts, the winding, adjusting the direction of the direction, the arrows, the gun stone. , each with his own responsibility, in an orderly manner, the tall racket was also erected, and the heavy iron ball swayed in mid-air, silent and murderous. The colorful flag waved by the flag soldiers commanded more than 20 medium-sized warships to enter the battle position.

There is a squeaking sound in the cabin on the deck. Usually, two-thirds of the cabins are empty and full of people. Six hundred people sit upright on the long bench. The big footboard of ** stepped firmly on the deck, clenched the rocking wheel with both hands, pricked up their ears, and listened attentively to the life of the team. Order.

"Attack!" Cui Qian waved his hand lightly. Looking at the colorful flags in the air, he waved twice in the air and pointed forward obliquely. The four medium-sized warships began to start and rushed out of the camp. They rushed to the Funan Marine Division on the opposite side first. More than a dozen other warships adjusted their formations in the march and separated left and right with the building ship as the center. Line up in a horizontal line and move forward at a uniform speed.

"Accelerate!"

The six hundred soldiers and oars shook the oars in unison. The back side of the boat turned out of snow-white water, and the building boat began to accelerate, slowly rushed to the front, and rushed forward with a terrible momentum.

Fan Jinsheng looked at the Yue Guosui Shi who rushed over in the distance. He was gratified and puzzled. He was gratified that in the face of his pressure, Cui Qian and the pirates were afraid. The pirates did not dare to continue to confront him, and Cui Qian did not dare to use the pirates as strikers as strikers, and could only fight in person. What was puzzled was that he saw a huge ship rushing to the front of the Yue sailors, which was several times larger than the warships on both sides. What kind of ship was this? Why did he never notice it?

Is it the kind of grain ship as big as a mountain? But why did the grain ship rush to the front? Why is the type of this grain carrier not similar to that of an ordinary grain carrier, but closer to the warship? What are the high masts on both sides for?

A feeling of ominous rose in Fan Jinsheng's heart. The development of things was a little beyond his expectation. This was the most taboo thing on the battlefield. Without the feeling of being confident, he immediately smelled a trace of danger.

"Welcome up, get out of the way of the big ship in the middle, and deal with those warships first!" Fan Jinsheng gave the order in time.

The marching warship immediately separated from the middle, letting the building ship in the middle meet the warships on both sides.

The two sides moved forward at full speed, and the distance in the middle was getting closer and closer. Fan Jinsheng stared at the opposite ship. The more he looked at it, the more panicked he became. Although the number of these ships was small, the fearless momentum revealed was shocking, and what made Fan Jinsheng more uneasy was that the speed of these ships exceeded his imagination. Like, if these ships had fled for their lives at this speed earlier, he would not have been able to catch up with them, and he might have lost them long ago.

These boats are at least twice as fast as he knows.

Fan Jinsheng vaguely guessed something, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of sharp weapon the other party had? Even if they lead him here, their strength is still not as good as his. Does he still have reinforcements? Or is this big ship really an invincible weapon, which can be used as ten?

The more Fan Jinsheng thought about it, the more he thought about it, but the development of the war situation was no longer allowed to think much about it. The two sides quickly approached within 300 steps. Fan Jinsheng gave an order to let the crossbowmen prepare to shoot, so that the soldiers could stand firm, meet the upcoming collision, and prepare for the subsequent jump battle.

The archers hid behind the side of the ship, raised the crossbow in their hands, and aimed at the approaching Yue Guo sailors. The crossbowmen began to string, but the archers just put the arrows on and were not in a hurry to open the string. The bow was not a crossbow. They would not pull the bow until before shooting, so as not to waste their strength.

Under normal circumstances, entering 150 steps is the shooting distance of the crossbow, and the archer will not start shooting until entering 100 steps. This shooting mode of different distances is formulated by Fan Man, which has been shown to be very effective in countless battles. As long as you enter 150 steps, your opponent will suffer a continuous blow, and many opponents will lose most of their combat effectiveness in this wave of attacks.

Of course, in the face of the Yue Marine Division, the soldiers of the Funan Marine Division did not dare to be so optimistic. They are not those vulnerable opponents. It can be seen from the other side's warships that their strength is not inferior. However, the soldiers of the Funan Marine Division are not nervous. On the one hand, the number of soldiers is obviously dominant. On the other hand, they have been running away from the Yue Marine Division for half a month, and their morale is very strong.

However, an exclamation soon put a lot of pressure on the Funan sailor.

Two hundred steps away, when the crossbowmen had just raised the crossbow in their hands and put their fingers on the crossbow machine to shoot, a dark shadow suddenly flew on the opposite warship. The shadow shot into the air, tearing the air's roaring endlessly, piercing the sound of the waves and quickly flying towards them.

Does the other party have an arrow that can shoot so far? In the surprise of the Funan sailors, the six- or seven-foot-long crossbow arrow flew over a distance of 200 steps and shot on the stunned Funan sailors.

"Wooh!" With a loud noise, a crossbow arrow shot the wooden crossbow in a crossbowman's hand to pieces, shot through his chest without hindrance, and shot out of his back again, with a blood bead, and shot through the lower abdomen of his companion behind him again. The sharp arrow passed through his body, took him back a few steps, and finally shot off a soldier. Thigh, that's when it stopped.

It was not until this time that the empty-handed crossbowman saw the blood bursting in his chest. He stared his eyes round, stretched out his hand that was numb by the strong force on the crossbow, touched the hole that suddenly appeared in his chest, and suddenly woke up. He couldn't help screaming and staggering. After two steps, he fell to the ground with a bang.

The people next to him were stunned by the tragic situation in front of him. In the blink of an eye, there were a few more gaps in the dense crossbow wall on the side of the ship. Most of the soldiers who were shot were killed on the spot, and a few screamed in pain. The most shocking thing was that a soldier was hooked out of his intestines by a crossbow, and his intestines were nailed to the deck by a crossbow. On the way, with his struggle, he dragged out sections and rolled on the deck, steaming, bleeding, and a stench.

In the astonishment of the Funan Marine Division, the two sides approached quickly and had entered a distance of 150 steps. However, because the early attack power of the Yue Marine Division was too amazing, most of the crossbowmen of the Funan Marine Division lost the best time to launch. By the time they recovered, the two sides had taken less than 80 steps.

The Yue warship advancing at full speed collided head-on with a boundless murderous atmosphere. As the warship approached quickly, it was a rain of arrows. The arrows on the Vietnam warship shot far away and hurriedly. At the first time, the morale of the Funan navy was scattered, and the deck was even more messy.

"Archery!" Fan Jin was so angry that he pulled out his sword and cut it on the neck of a stupid soldier. His head rolled out on the deck for a long time, and finally stopped between his legs, but his eyes could not be closed, and the panic on his face froze forever.

The Funan soldiers finally came to their senses and shot the arrows in their hands at the Yue sailors who hit them head-on, but because many of them were broken, the power of this shower of arrows was greatly reduced compared with the plan.

If it was in peacetime, Fan Jinsheng would definitely kill a few more people to stand for power and inspire these people's fighting spirit with the fear of death, but today he really didn't have this mood. The other party's largest ship seemed to know him and hit him directly. When he looked at it from a distance, he just felt that it was relatively big. In the near future, Fan Jinsheng felt the condescending pressure of this warship. Looking at the tall bow like a mountain, Fan Jinsheng, who had passed countless tests of life and death, felt fear for the first time.

Without giving him too much time to think, the building boat, which had been aimed at him for a long time, hit him head-on.

"Boom!"

Fan Jinsheng felt that he seemed to fly up and lost his sense of balance in an instant. He flew in mid-air, and then fell on the tilted deck with a bang and could no longer stand up. His flagship was not vulnerable at all in front of the other party's huge size. He was abruptly hit and bounced back a few feet away, and then collided again. This time, the collision was a little biased. The building ship was like a plow, plowing over with an unstoppable momentum, and squeezed Fan Jinsheng's flagship aside.

"Kakaka..." The sound of his teeth kept ringing. Fan Jinsheng watched as his flagship, which had experienced countless battles, was squeezed into deformation, broken, and tilted to one side. Then, he saw several shadows smash down with a roar.

"Boom!"

There was another loud noise. At the same time, one of the two bats fell was empty and hit the sea that was still ten feet away from the bow of the boat. It hit a three-foot-high column of water. The rushing seawater hit the ship, which made the panicked soldiers on the ship drenched all over, and the other pat rod accurately hit the original position of Fan Jinsheng. The vertical wood of the watchtower was broken by the waist. The soldiers in the watchtower hugged the wooden pillar with both hands and fell into the sea with the watchtower.

The warship made a series of wails again. The whole hull suddenly sank down, and then bounced up by the sea. In a moment, it had passed by the building ship. The hull, which was almost overturned by the building ship, lost its support. It fell backwards in the opposite direction, and then shook violently. Several people were shocked. The soldier was thrown out.

Both sides are separated at a touch.

Fan Jin grabbed a railing, turned his head, looked at the boat farther and farther away, and his face turned pale. At this point, he could roughly guess what was going on. The powerful warship in front of him was a mountain-like warship. It was not a grain carrier at all. Fan Xun was cheated by the Yue people, and the price was the 8,000 sailors.

Fan Jinsheng has fought countless naval battles, but it is the first time he has met the winner so quickly. What's more tragic is that he is the defeated side. The first wave of collisions between the Yue Marine Division and the Funan Marine Division has ended. Fan Jinsheng now knows at a glance that he has suffered enough in this collision, not to mention that his flagship was knocked over by the other party's building ship in the first round, and the situation of other warships is not optimistic. The medium-sized warships of the Vietnam Marine Division are only slightly larger than their warships, but they are more than twice as fast, and their arrows are dense and urgent, with a long range. Fan Jinsheng personally looked at the other party's first sharp shot, caught off guard the oncoming warship of the Funan Marine Division, and then rushed up, broke more than a dozen oars, then walked away, and rushed straight to the third echelon behind.

The advantage of many ships of the Funan Marine Division completely lost its effect in front of the speed and crossbows of the Yue Marine Division. What made Fan Jinsheng more depressed was that at this time, he noticed that the oars could not be seen on both sides of the warships of the Yue Marine Division. The two ships collided side. The Funan Marine Division would more or less lose a few oars, while the Yue Marine Division was unharmed. The speed Still. Fan Jinsheng looked carefully for a long time and found that the sailors of the State of Yue were all out of the ship.

What kind of ship is this? Fan Jinsheng sat on the flagship that had been basically scrapped and could only circle in the water, waiting for the sinking fate. He was puzzled. At this moment, he didn't even have time to think about how deadly this battle was for his future.
