It was like a wave of invisible tide, and the reeds began to shake.

In the reed swaying nearest to the shore, dozens of large and small rowing boats suddenly appeared, and rowed desperately towards the artificially stranded watercraft.

The attacker with a shirtless man holding a knife bow roared and shouted loudly, and with the waves of water and horns, he rushed over with a fierce look. Suddenly, some of the water man began to weaken his feet or tremble.

The boat that was put down carried several watermen, jumped into the water and pulled it against the wooden stake with a big saw. Then the person screamed, but was attacked by a projected on the shore, and sank down with the arrow shaft and blood flowers.

At this time, several steamers also came over and started to shoot back with the bows and arrows on the ship. After a few screams came from the reeds, the cold arrow finally stopped.

Then the rowers also took the opportunity to approach the stuck steamer, and they could clearly see their bodies squatting beside the boat and their distorted faces full of dirt.

Their purpose is clear, specifically to siege the stranded water ship and then force others

The bows and arrows were also concentrated on these rows. From time to time, people planted in the water with blood, but more people's simple wooden rafts and fishing nets climbed up to the side of the boat with a terrifying sound as the collision vibrates.

At this time, a black shadow fell down howling.

However, the rotating rod was shaken with all his might, sweeping away several climbing human bodies like blowing open fallen leaves, and hitting heavily on a big scratch, folding it with a sound of two shorts.

He lifted up again, and hung the human body on another big paddle, colliding on the hull like a rag. When it sinks, only bubbles and blood foam are left.

Then many water husbands appeared on the side of the boat. They roared and raised the tip of the boat or the sharp wooden spear, and stabbed heavily at the figures of the ant climbing on the boat gang.

It pierced into the bodies of the climbers almost without any obstacles, and then rolled down with the gushing blood, but more pirates stepped on the wounded and the bodies, climbed up again and began to fight back.

So when standing on the boat board to resist the water hustlemen, some of them were grabbed and pulled out of balance, fell into the water thief, either hit by a bottom-up stick, or caught by a boat hook and fishing net, and rolled over and fell into a ball.

The arrows were flying around, and I could only hide in another boat to play a bystander.

I swept over the pole beside the boat again, broke a row again, but it couldn't be moved. However, I was entangled by several fishing nets that were deliberately hung on. No matter how much I shake the handle, I can't turn it up.

This was, some other things piled up on the boat board were brought up in advance, and they were also picked up.

It was the jar that emitted the fishy smell, which was thrown out heavily, and then splashed on the thieves and boats smoothly. Then, with the torches left behind, it turned into a burning fire, and several strokes and people on it were rolled in.

The remaining strokes were too busy to disperse, and the slow-running person was suffocated by the fire and rolled into the water with a cry of cry.

However, this kind of burning substance, which was suspected to be fish oil, did not last long on the water. The thieves on the other side climbed up again. In addition to short knives and sticks, they also used familiar fishing nets and hook ropes as weapons, and stood by the boat and waved the fork and boat rod waterman, which made the heads bloody and retreated step by step. No matter how you shout and scold them, it was useless.

The bow of the ship could only lead a few friends to come forward, waved their swords and spears to resist these thieves.

Then the bow of the fighting ship was suddenly hooked by a rope hook flying up, and blood was dragged down like a spring, and he was dragged out of the ship, and he saw that he was no longer saved.

The rest of the people were suddenly devastated and were overwhelmed by the thief who rushed up. As soon as they came up, they cut all kinds of sailing cables and made up their minds to stop the steamship.

"quick.."

The young shipowner not far away couldn't help but roared with pale face

"Take that thing out..."

Before the words were finished,

"Here...

The bow of the boat, Lao Xu, had already led his men to lift out a few tubes from the cabin, put them heavily on the wooden rack, then stuffed some things, and tamp them tightly with wooden poles.

In the direction where the water thieves were most numerous, he used a thread to incense, and a loud noise and ash smoke suddenly appeared.

A piece of white water splashed densely, and several squeaks were crowded together, and the sound of raindrops slapped. The people standing on it almost screamed and rolled into the water.

Then the second and third ones also ignite and shoot, like a gust of storm.

With the continuous sound, their arms and faces were almost broken, and they could only touch their bloody heads and faces, and they were idling and wailing in place without any brains. They were poked down by the motivated water men or poked into the water.

The pirates who climbed up from other places were also driven back to death with no choice but to be driven back, and under the support and threat of other ships who were gradually approaching.

The remaining thieves finally lost their confidence and fighting spirit to drown. With an uproar, the thieves on the outermost side began to spread their marks or jump into the water and fled one after another.

At this time, several other slowly moving water steamers came in handy, knocking away the rows that could not help but run around and crashed away.

Then he viciously used the tips and paddleboards to poke the pirates who fell into the water, their shoulders and heads, until they no longer struggled and sank with blood. Listening to their tragic roars and cries in the water, there was a bit of a proud smell.

After a while, the fleet had no strength to pursue the thieves who fled to the shore, but simply sank all the rowers hanging by the boat and threw the bodies into the water.

I, who had been helping the wounded, had time to take a closer look. The things they solemnly put away were like things made of a tree trunk.

Although painted, it still has the texture of the trees itself. I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Isn't this the earth-killing weapon in the War of Resistance - the pine wood cannon?

"I'll ask Dr. Xia to keep silent"

Old Xu, the bow of the boat, walked over with his bloody arms and whispered.

"There are some taboo things for making a living on the water..."

"That's of course..."

I nodded.

The wooden stakes that hindered navigation in the water were finally cleaned up. With the help of the remaining people, the tripped steamer was also rushed to the deep water further away from the shore, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What remains is the time to be tortured and questioned. There were about a dozen people who escaped and fought in the face of the battle, tied to the edge of the boat, and beaten them one by one with whips.

However, compared to those pirate captives who were locked in the cabin and questioned, and occasionally dragged out a bloody corpse, they were finally much luckier and would not die at least for a while.

I took the empty deck on one side to check the injured, and then judged whether they still had the need for treatment, and then gave basic treatment and bandage. Because I was too busy, I was called to help with the head holding my head and squatting.

She was dressed in men's clothing, although she was so bloody and disgusting that she wanted to vomit, but she finally experienced so many things with me and was still a barely qualified helper.

Despite this, I was busy until dark and didn't handle it well.

In the smell of blood, the broken limbs were thrown into the water and the wounded person who used charcoal to close the wound of the limbs, screaming one after another. I didn't expect that what I just agreed to came in handy so soon.

The young shipowner who reappeared in front of people, although his smiling face encouraged everyone, announced that he would reward those who worked hard to protect the ship and would pay the dead and injured.

But I could still feel some hidden worry from the expression at the corner of his eyes. In addition, when dealing with the arm injury to the bow of the boat, some vague muttered, as if the attack of the pirates was not that simple, or it was not an incident that happened by chance.

Well, I can mess up, is it really a fucking trouble, you can get into trouble wherever you go.

Although the unexpected water thief was repelled and the cargo on the ship was not much lost, the corresponding water thirty and forty people in the fleet suffered more losses. The dead were alone, and the water thirty and forty people were unable to do physical work due to injuries. There were more numbers than these.

More importantly, on the tripped head boat, seven or eight ship workers who were originally responsible for handling the boat based on experience and skills also lost seven or eight, which had a serious impact on the fleet's itinerary.

Only some people could be assigned from other ships to slowly maintain the remaining voyage.

Then the shadow of the ship appeared in the horizon made everyone nervous again. After seeing the banner, it was the late Huncheng Navy.

Just like the last policeman in the movie and TV series, they drove the unique monosail fast ship of the navy and leaned over slowly, holding weapons and boarding the steamer, shouting loudly, shouting where the thief was, and then pretending to be on guard against the water bandits that no longer existed.

With suspicious and vicious eyes, he looked at the battle traces, bloodstains and personnel on the ship, and then the young shipowner sent someone to the top cabin. After a while, he changed his expression.

The leading general waved his hand and asked someone to take away the remaining pirates' living mouths. Then he left a small boat to attract us

I only found out afterwards that they came to grab the credit, and maybe they had some other thoughts, such as crawling and blackmailing, but the ship owner is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his backing and background are not weak.

Therefore, according to the final agreement, they took away the credit for the great water thief.

Then in exchange for not holding the accountable or suing the officials afterwards, the Huncheng Navy will allow the local water camp to rest and provide the fleet with supplies and supplies, including a batch of weapons that were originally floating.

Then we escorted to Zhoucheng, so our itinerary had to be interrupted in Huncheng.

Because of the news, war broke out again between Caozhou and Huazhou in the south. Jiyin, a major downstream of the Jishui River, was blocked, and many official and civilian ships had been detained for military purposes.

It seems that we only have to leave by land and can only turn back to Liu Chuanzhu, which is somewhat compensatory. From the familiar relatives and a large family to the caravan in Gunzhou-Huaisi, I arranged a accompanying position for me.
Chapter completed!
