Chapter 42 One for a Thousand
The pirates who rushed close to the building ship heard the screams behind them and didn't care much. Four or five ships were sunk in the crowded pirate ship like a flock of fish, which was shocking to the parties and the people next to them, but they didn't care much about the people in the distance. They rushed to the building ship as usual. At present, except for the boat, they can't think too much. They don't care about the fierce roar of the huge crossbow above their heads. The crossbow is powerful, but the speed is slow. Besides, I'm under the boat. What can you do to me do?
Just as the pirates rushed to the side of the building ship were proud, the strangest thing happened.
A tall wooden pillar that can be easily mistaken for a secondary mast suddenly fell down with a terrible momentum, and the ball tied with chains circled more than half a circle and smashed down with the sound of the wind. Two pirate ships hit the head. One was hit by a wooden pillar in the middle of the ship and was crooked on the spot. The sailors on the ship could not sit. After stabilizing, several people turned over and fell into the water. Five or six sailors who were directly hit by wooden stakes did not say a word and directly became meat cakes. The people in front of them were still trying their best to control their bodies and had no time to pay attention to the situation behind them, while the sailors behind them were dumbfounded at the wooden pillars in front of them.
The pirates who were hit by wooden pillars should be happy. After all, they just capsized the ship.
It's not so lucky to be hit by iron.
A heavy iron ball fell from the sky and hit the bow of a fighting ship that had just been snatched from the sailor. The pirates standing in front of the fighting ship suddenly disappeared. Soon the pirates found that the bow was gone. The originally raised bow disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a big hole. The sea poured in, and the stern of the battleship. At a very obvious speed, both the swaying pirates and the pirates ready to fight lost their balance and stumbled forward. A pirate was too flustered. He suddenly grabbed the chain in front of him and looked at his companions who ran through him and fell into the sea. He had just smiled with a happy smile, but he found that he had left the ship, getting farther and farther and farther away from the sea. The sinking battleship was under his feet, on the faces of several companions who raised their heads. The panic is clearly visible.
He was stunned and looked up. He and the iron ball were hanging in mid-air and leaning against the building ship. At this height, he finally saw the whole picture of the building boat. On the baseboards on both sides of the building boat, six identical giant trees were rising and down one after another, some slowly stretching like him, and some roaring. Next, I hit a accomplice who may know or don't know.
Without waiting for him to see too much, a sharp arrow flew quietly, and an arrow shot through his throat. He looked at the arrow feathers under his jaw, let go of his hand, and fell into the sea with endless doubts.
"Son of a bitch, your hands and feet are quite fast, and you are not afraid of falling when you climb so high." Sun Shangxiang put away his bow and scolded angrily.
"General Sun is a good arrow." Guan Feng in the cabin clapped her hands and said with a smile.
"Shame on you." Sun Shangxiang bowed his body gracefully.
Corresponding to their politeness, it is the roar of fifteen giant crossbows, the roar of four Thunderbolts, and the ups and downs of six rackets. The giant crossbow is responsible for the pirate head of a hundred steps away, and the Thunderbolt car is responsible for the pirate ship of about 80 steps away, and the one to deal with is the pirate ship close to the building ship, each with its own responsibility and orderly.
Although the giant crossbow and the Thunderbolt are powerful, they are scattered among the dense boats on the sea, which is not noticeable, and the deterrent brought by the six rackets of the ship is not small. Seeing that pirate ships approached the building boat, they were smashed into pieces by one by the rafts falling from the sky. It was just a cup of tea. A layer of wood fragments floated next to the building boat. Countless pirates wailed in the water with one or two boards in their arms. They didn't worry about drowning. With so many rotten ships, they could hold the wood as soon as they reached out, but this From time to time, the giant trees and iron balls that fell from the head were too scary, and the splashes were endless, just like the fish that were driven into the net and struggling desperately. The difference was that these fish were sent to the door by themselves and happily sent to the door.
The pirates behind don't know what's going on in front of them. They continue to rush forward, cursing their accomplices in front of them, and rush forward when they reach the mouth of the waterway. Behind the boat is a fat merchant ship. Why are you crowded here? What's there to see in the building boat? If you want to see it, drag it back and look at it slowly. Isn't it blocking the way of wealth? They cursed, but to no avail. When they finally squeezed to the front, they saw this extremely horrible scene. When they shouted to retreat, it was not so easy. The pirate ships, large and small, crowded together, as if they were waiting for a fish to be opened.
The pirates were inexplicably frightened, and the officers and soldiers of the navy were also shocked. Fortunately, they couldn't see clearly in front of them, but the lethality brought by these six rackets was too shocking. Every time they fell, they could overturn or even break one or two pirate ships. Under the heavy blow of the rackets, they were not with toys. What's the difference? Without exception, they are waiting for the fate of tragedy. The six rackets are like the six giant feet of a huge insect, crushing a ship into pieces without mercy.
Although there are many pirates, they can't get close to the building ship at all. They surround the building ship, not like attacking, but more like dying.
He crossed the sea very excitedly and bitterly. He brought 70 or 80 warships, not the opponents of the pirates, but Sun Shao created such a record with only a stationary building ship, and what kind of glory will his building ship create? He couldn't help but be curious. He put his hand on his eyebrows and looked far into the distance.
He saw Sun Shao's building boat turn north from the south and rush to the pirates at an unstoppable speed.
Sun Shao left the mouth of the waterway and went all the way south. The pirates didn't care too much. With so many ships, who would pay attention to an escaped building ship? What can you do even if you catch up? So almost all the pirates automatically ignored the building ship, and even Zhou Qun, the now unknown king of pirates, did not pay much attention to it. He put all his mind on the front attack. The sailor has retreated into the waterway, and there is only one building ship left at the mouth of the waterway. Countless accomplices have surrounded it. Although the building ship is taller and more difficult to conquer than ordinary warships, Zhou Qun has every reason to believe that in the face of such a huge number of pirates, no matter how difficult it is to overcome, the building ship can't escape bad luck. The only difference is that there are more deaths. It's just a small accomplice. Zhou Qun is not afraid of sacrifice. The more people sacrifice, the better it is for him, so that he is more confident in controlling the overall situation. His cronies are all around him, waiting for the last to rush out to grab the fruits of victory and kill more brainless fools so that he can get more benefits.
He has now begun to think about how to pay for Su's thick legs. If he wins this battle, he can clean up Su's thick legs, and only after cleaning up Su's thick legs can he be the real overlord of the East China Sea.
Why can't I be the urging sign of the East China Sea? Zhou Qun sneered and was ambitious. He was immersed in the imagination of the future until a frightened reminder came to his ear.
"Fire--"
Zhou Qun turned his head and was immediately shocked. The building ship, which he thought had been in a hurry, came back at some point. It was full of sails and rushed to him at an incredible speed with the rising southeast wind. Wherever it went, the pirate ship responsible for escorting his left wing was not an opponent at all. Without exception, it was knocked over and crushed below the belly of the ship, and the pirate ship that survived was actually not lucky. They caught fire one by one. This fast-moving ship was like a running beast, rushing into the sheep without cover. The ship was invincible, and the ship capsized and died wherever it went, and there was a sea of fire.
Zhou Qun opened his eyes in horror. He stammered and pointed to the fast approaching building boat: "He... why is he... so fast?"
The cronies around him were also dumbfounded. Yes, how can the building ship be so fast? Even walking fast is nothing more than that. It is understandable that such a speed appears on a small boat like a walking boat, but it is incomprehensible to appear on a giant warship such as a building ship.
Whether Sun Shao could understand or not, he gathered the best archers around him, coupled with the only two ten-stone crossbows on the ship, aiming at the warship of Zhou Qun in the middle of the back of the pirate brigade. As early as the mouth of the waterway, he found the position of Zhou Qun in his eyes for thousands of miles. After staying in the south for a period of time, he found that most of the pirates had gathered in front. When the guards around Zhou Qun were relatively weak, he timely commanded the warship to ride the wind and waves and roared.
The standard configuration of an ordinary building ship is 600 sailors and 400 soldiers. The building ship modified by him is 400 sailors and 300 soldiers, but he does not have so many people, so he is only half of them. The two ships have a total of 300 sailors and 300 soldiers, which obviously cannot exert the greatest power. Therefore, he decided to take a surprise, one of the two building ships, one was the main attack and the other was the main defense. Almost all of the three hundred soldiers were transferred to the main ship. More than 100 people were on the crossbows, Thunderbolts and clapping poles, and more than a hundred people dealt with the pirates who narrowly climbed onto the ship, while all three hundred sailors were all transferred to the main ship and launched them with all their strength. They raised the speed of the ship to the highest level at the expense of physical strength, and 16 sailors hidden under the side guard plate of the ship. Once launched, it showed great power. The huge building boat can actually be compared with the walking boat, which is famous for its lightness. This is still in the case that the sailors do not have all the crew. If according to the standard configuration, 400 sailors fight together, it can be said that even the walking horse can not catch up with him.
In the face of the building ship as fast as walking, the reaction of the pirates was as Sun Shao expected. They did not have any effective countermeasures except to open their eyes wide. One ship after another was knocked over by the building boat, and the blue sea water was like a fertile land plowed by an iron plough, emitting a fresh smell.
It's just that these smells a little bloody.
What surprised the pirates was that when the building ship passed in front of them, they threw down pottery pots one after another. As soon as they hit the ship, they cracked. The ** inside was then ignited by the fire at the mouth of the jar and burned with a bang. Whether it was a ship or a person, only If you want to touch it, all of them are on fire without exception. Water and fire are ruthless. The instinct of fear of fire in people's surnames panicked the pirates. Some slapped hard, some jumped into the sea, but no one remembered to chase Sun Shao. Even if a few people who luckily dodged the fire pot attack and wanted to chase, they sadly found that although they used their strength to eat milk, their boat could not catch up with the arrogant giant.
Several pirate leaders couldn't help rubbing their eyes, and they doubted whether they had hallucinations.
Sun Shao's building ship is like a sharp arrow, piercing some sparse pirate rears at an unbelievable speed, knocking over and igniting countless pirate ships, and then rushing to Zhou Qun's ship before Zhou Qun reacting. With an order, two crossbows and four or five feather arrows were shot on Zhou Qun's ship, followed. The huge building boat collided head-on, with a loud bang, which made Zhou Qun's boat groaning. Half of the hull was hit and cracked, and then it was pressed into the sea by the building boat.
Zhou Qun, who looked up, was dead when he came out of the water from the back of the building ship. A huge crossbow penetrated his body, and three feather arrows were nailed to his body - two in the chest and one in the throat. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the blue sky. The sky was cloudless and as clean as the sea, but he couldn't see it. His eyes were empty and puzzled. He really couldn't figure out why the building boat could be faster than walking.
Sun Shao, who successfully implemented the beheading tactic, saw Zhou Qun's body from Qianli's eyes and saw Zhou Qun's warship, which had been turned into the sky. Only then did he smile with satisfaction and handed Qianli's eyes to Wei Ping's hand. Wei Ping looked at it and was inexplicably shocked. It took him a long time to recover. There are too many things that surprised him today, but what surprised him the most was the result in front of him. A building ship broke into the enemy's front at an unheard speed, killed the opponent's main general in the first battle, and then left unharmed. What kind of record is this? After thinking about it, only the battle that Su's thick legs had mentioned to him many times that Guan Yu killed Yan Liang could be compared, and Guan Yu was the father-in-law of the smiling young man in front of him.
No wonder the empty Guan Yu refused Sun Quan's marriage proposal, but married his daughter to him.
Wei Ping sighed with emotion.
"Zhou Qun died, the pirates were hit hard again, and General Su's resistance to unifying the East China Sea was much less." Sun Shao said while shooting a pirate fifty steps away with a bow and an arrow. Then he stretched out his hand in the air, grabbed a sharp arrow from a pirate, put on the bow string, and shot the pirate whose tongue had not been withdrawn with his backhand.
Wei Ping was stunned by all the things he saw and forgot to answer Sun Shao's words. It was not until Sun Shao turned around and looked at him with surprise that he swallowed his saliva and raised his thumb: "General, it's really a god."
"God what?" Sun Shao smiled and said, "That boy's arm is too weak. It's only eighty steps, and the arrow is like floating. It's boring."
Wei Ping smiled bitterly and said to herself, you thought that you could open a three-stone bow, and one hundred and fifty steps was a good example. Along the way, Sun Shao shot at least ten pirates, and the arrow in Zhou Qun's throat was his masterpiece. Wei Ping was very lucky that Su's thick legs were not tempted this time. Otherwise, Zhou Qun's end might be his end.
"With a general, how can the pirates in the East China Sea be in trouble?" Wei Ping's mouth was a little bitter.
"Me?" Sun Shao put away his bow. The building ship had rushed out of the pirate's position, and the sailors' physical strength was not enough to support the charge again. Besides, the task of beheading had been completed, and it should be allowed to cross the sea to hit the water dog. He took Wei Ping to the flying ra, looked at Wei Ping's eyes, and said nothing. Wei Ping was a little scared by him, and he couldn't help but be respectful.
"What's the general's order?"
"You are a smart person. I don't need to talk too much." Sun Shao picked up the corners of his mouth and said, "You will go back to your General Su immediately. Tell him that I'm waiting for the good news of his unification of the East China Sea."
Wei Ping frowned: "Although the pirates returned without success this time, the damage was not small, but..."
"There's nothing." Sun Shao stopped Wei Ping and said, "If he listens to me, the East China Sea will be his in the future. If he can't do it, don't blame me."
Wei Ping took a cold breath. He heard a self-evident threat from Sun Shao's words. What he wanted to explain was suddenly forced back. He hesitated for a moment and bowed: "Come on."
"Go ahead." Sun Shao nodded with satisfaction. When Wei Ping came to the side of the ship, he added, "I will send a ship to you later. When I see the ship, I believe that all questions will be answered."
Wei Ping held the side of the boat, turned his head and looked at Sun Shao a little. He meditated a little, nodded, got off the boat without saying a word, took a small boat without a owner, and walked away. Looking at Wei Ping's smaller and smaller back, Sun Shao's eyes jumped, showing a sinister smile.
At the mouth of the waterway, Sun Shangxiang, who received Sun Shao's signal, was very excited. She ordered someone to tell the news that Sun Shao had killed the thief's head to Yuehai. She looked up at the sky and roared across the sea. Without saying a word, she immediately led her men to rush out of the waterway, rushed into the pirate array like a hungry tiger and sheep, and fought fiercely. The pirates were stunned by the sharp attack on the building ship, and they had never received a reply to Zhou Qun's instructions. They had long been timid. Now that the sailors rushed out again, their morale suddenly collapsed. They could no longer imagine the wealth on the merchant ship and turned around and ran away. Crossing the sea, he couldn't catch up with the pirates. Unfortunately, he couldn't catch up with the pirates. As soon as he got out of the waterway and came to the wide water surface, he could only look at the water and sigh, so he had to turn around and surround the pirates who didn't have time to escape. Looking at the pirates running around with their heads, they crossed the sea happily. This time, there were at least 300 pirate ships, large and small, and at least 2,000 people were captured. This is not in the water with a wooden board. If you add the sunken ships and the pirates who have been killed, this number is even more considerable.
Yuehai knows who should be thanked the most. As soon as he saw Sun Shao, he greeted him with a smile on his face: "General Tianwei, you really deserve it."
Sun Shao took his hand and dragged him into the flying navel, with a bitter look on his face: "General Yue, do you want to help me or hurt me?"
He raised his eyebrows across the sea: "General, what is this? How can I hurt you?"
"In this case, please don't mention me when you report your achievements." Sun Shao said earnestly, "You know the reason here."
