Chapter 98: Crisis

Looking at the metallic ingots in the cabin, Shixin's heart was filled with inexplicable satisfaction.

Originally, five thousand kilograms of iron were just casual talk, but he didn't expect that this method of buying more and getting more was really effective. Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to spend 5,000 taels of silver to buy six thousand kilograms of iron. According to the elder brother's plan, only three thousand kilograms were enough.

When he returned to the base, Li Bosheng really provided 6,000 kilograms of iron, so he felt comfortable and helped his elder brother earn more than 2,000 taels of silver. He had never made such a good profit.

Moreover, the eldest brother also valued this transaction very much and sent so many brothers to help him.

The second brother Shiyi, as well as the brothers Lu Zhen, Zhang Tianqi, Pan Yuanming, Pan Yuanshao, and four Mo Tianyou, Zhu Xian, Zhao Zixiong, and Yang Qizong, who were originally responsible for the protection of the base. There were ten people in the ship, each of whom was carrying a combo crossbow and carrying four grenades. Even if a robber comes, he will definitely be told to come and go.

Sure enough, along the way, I encountered nothing.

After passing Gaoyou Lake, Jinhu Lake, Hongze Lake, it is only half a day away from Wuhe River.

When he revisited the old place, Shi Xin suddenly felt a lot of emotion.

"Second brother, let me tell you about the last time two grenades exploded and a group of cavalrymen and robbed a few horses!" Shi Xin and Shi Yi said.

"Forget it, I have heard this story countless times along the way. Isn't it the first one to throw it closer? The second one to throw it off. By chance, I fainted the group of cavalry and robbed a few horses." Shi Yi said, "I heard you general the day before yesterday that there were at most twenty cavalrymen. I'll talk about it yesterday and it's 200. Today, will it be your grenade kill thousands of cavalrymen?"

"You can't say that. Shi Xin is an exaggerated statement. What's wrong with thousands? Maybe there are still thousands of Mongolian warriors!" When talking about the word "warrior", Lu Zhen deliberately paused, as if this warrior was naturally the right one.

"Ha." The cabin burst into laughter.

Shi Xin blushed: "I won't tell you anymore, but my elder brother said that you will all listen to me when you come out this time. Now, I order you to not laugh."

"Yes, Warriors." Another voice came.

Shi Xin was furious and ignored them anymore, turning his head and looking out.

Suddenly, he discovered a very strange phenomenon: Why did the small boat keep following his boat?

It was a light fast sail boat with a pointed bow. In this kind of weather, the sailing speed should be very fast. Why did it only lift half a sail and follow it all the way?

Things are abnormal and will definitely become monsters! There must be problems.

"Prepare for the battle!" Shi Xin issued an order, his face serious and his tone was extremely stern.

Everyone wanted to ridicule him a few words, but when he heard his tone, he couldn't help but look in his eyes. This time, he was also shocked.

Three fast sail boats, in a fan shape, quickly surrounded them.

Shi Xin could see clearly that he was a small boat just now, but after a fork, two similar boats suddenly rushed out. At the same time, the ship behind him was also full of sails. He couldn't help but feel a stern, knowing that the other party was going to take action.

As the saying goes, a small boat can turn around, and the other party's light boat speeds up very quickly, while Shixin's boat is full of iron ingots, and even if it turns, you have to prepare in advance. If you are unable to move, you will naturally not be able to compare speed with the fast sail boat.

Since you can't run, then fight!

"Tianqi, you are responsible for the helm, Yuanming, you are responsible for the sailing, and try your best to get a big distance from the other party." Shi Xin began to assign tasks:"

Lu Zhen, Yuan Shao, you two are on the stern, Tianyou, Zhu Xian, you two are guarding the starboard side, Zixiong, Qizong, you two are guarding the port side. My second brother and I are guarding the bow of the ship and support you at any time."

The battle was about to be in front of us, and everyone was quickly preparing for the battle.

The combo crossbow was used more easily. Everyone filled the quiver with arrows, pulled the lever, and put the first arrow on. The grenade was also taken out, but only one was taken out, because the ship was shaking around at any time, and the grenades would roll around. Besides, the ship was moving all the time. In this way, it would most likely drop into the water. If it didn't blow the other party, it would only blow innocent fish.

The other party was getting closer and closer, and he could see two men standing on each bow, each holding a waist knife in his hand and waving in a pretentious manner.

How could a broken knife shake? How many iron ingots can I make in this boat? Shi Xin felt very uncomfortable when he saw the other party waving.

"Please take care of it, wait until the other party gets closer before shooting." Shi Xin said.

This combo crossbow was made by myself. The biggest disadvantage is that the elder brother defined it as a weapon for self-defense, which can be fired continuously, with strong firepower, but the range is too close. If it is far away, there will be no lethality.

Moreover, his own ship is moving, and the other party's ship is moving. In this case, he is not sure that he can hit the other party, but instead exposes his weapons in vain.

If you don’t send it, it’s deadly!

"Listen to the boat in front, you'd better surrender. I'll let you go a long way, otherwise, you'll throw you all into the river to feed the turtle." Another big man came out of the boat in the middle behind and shouted at the top of his throat.

"Yes, hurry up and lower the sails and stop the boat, otherwise you will be killed." The man with the sword dancing on the bow also began to shout.

Stop the boat? Stop it and surrender? Do you think I am a three-year-old child? It's so easy to coax. Shi Xin spitted out: "Bah! If you have the seeds, come here. Grandpa will send you to the West to see the Buddha of Tathagata and let the Buddha enlighten you."

This sentence completely angered the other party. They shouted and became even more indignant at the bow of the ship.

What I want is this effect. I quickly stimulated them and solved it with a combo crossbow. I had to rush to deliver the goods. This was 5,000 taels of silver.

Amid a hustle and bustle, three small boats were getting closer and closer to the big boat.

The pattern of the fangs and claws on the bow was clear, and the knife waving on it was shining dazzlingly in the sun, and the distance was very close.

"Everyone aims and shoots your own." Shi Xin shouted.

"Swoosh, swosh." Countless arrows flew towards the other three small boats.

"Ah..." In the rain of arrows, a man on the boat on the right was caught in an arrow and fell into the water, and a bright red color appeared.

"Kill them all!" The other party seemed to have no intention of retreating, but instead became more motivated.

The rain of arrows continued to fly, but most of the arrows shot into the water.

Aiming and shooting while shaking is not an easy task.

Suddenly, the robber who had just spoken picked up the anchor at the bow and threw it hard for a few rounds, turning faster and faster. He let go and with the sharp sound of the wind, the heavy anchor flew over.
