The chain bullets entangled the sail, and the trade wind bird on the mainmast continued to rotate irregularly with the bumping of the hull. The pouring sea water poured from the left to the right of the ship, and everyone was soaked wet. After only five or six rounds of firefighting, the unknown warship, relying on its large size and heavy tonnage, rammed straight into the Venomous Bee without any hesitation. The moment the dragon's tendon shattered the wood and stuck into the side plank, the noose thicker than the man's thigh also hooked the deck, and the rockets on the opposite side shot towards him like a rain curtain.
Some people have fallen into the sea, and they still carry fire and water with them. The boarding battle was about to start, Huisha let go of the steering wheel, and he pulled out his scimitar and shouted: "Throw all the oil barrels down!"
"Throw away the trash on the other side!" the Venomous Bee roared.
In the flames, Hailian heard two long whistles, which came from Gray Sofa. This is a secret signal between the two of them. If it is called once, he will be responsible for defending the poisonous bee; if it is called twice, he will have to deal with the enemy's general. This Dongzhou warship was far tougher than the two of them imagined. He was Huisha's confidant and the first officer of the Venomous Bee, so he had to do what the second officer should do.
What's more, it was Hailian's turn to play in the boarding battle.
The open fire and the sea water are intertwined, and there is a layer of pitch-black fuel floating on the surface of the dark sea. Anyone who falls will be scalded immediately. Hai Lian swung onto the warship with the gangway, and the heat wave licked through the soles of his shoes. In the confusion, he easily knocked down two soldiers, stepped on the corpses and came to the sub-mast, and climbed up the rope knot in the blink of an eye. The soldier on the watchtower of the main mast was not blind either. When he saw him, he immediately drew his sword and wanted to stop him. However, his movement was a bit slower, and the young man rushed over like a night crow announcing the arrival of death, and clamped his neck .
The space of the watchtower was small, and most of the soldiers were hanging outside the fence. As long as Hai Lian let go, he would fall down and break his neck bone.
"Where is your captain?" Hai Lian's voice was soft and lacklustre, which didn't match his iron-like cold fingers, "It's okay if you don't tell me, I'm just asking casually."
Bloodshot eyes appeared in the soldier's eyes. I don't know whether it was because of suffocation or panic. He waved his hands and tried to struggle: "You let go, let go... your hands..."
Hailian tilted her head: "That's what you said."
He spread his fingers quickly.
Amidst the screams, the young man calmly pulled out the binoculars hanging on the side and opened the mirror cover. At this time, the deck under the observation deck was in chaos. The crimson brocade robes of the Dongzhou people and the khaki coarse cloth of the pirates all turned into the same orange and tangerine under the firelight. It was not easy to identify the position of the captain. Lian frowned after looking around.
He didn't see a guy with a uniform different from others, could it be in the cabin below? But how can there be any reason for the captain not to stay on the deck after the close combat? He couldn't allow him to think too much, every second of delay, the chance of the poisonous bee's victory would be reduced by one point, the young man estimated the distance, let out a sigh of relief, and let go of his hand.
He jumped straight from the mast, and when he landed, the dagger in his hand pierced the throat of a Dongzhou man, and the blood splashed all over the front of his light-colored coat. Hai Lian didn't stop after drawing his knife. He spotted the position of the hatch ladder, wrapped around the cable, and quickly crossed the noisy battlefield with one kick. The moment he jumped into the hatch, the smoke bomb in his other hand also waved out.
boom!
Hailian was submerged in a sea of white mist.
2.
After boarding the ship, the artillery was useless, so there were only a few guards in the lower cabin. They were all shocked when they found Hailian the uninvited guest, and then they let go of the fort and rushed over with their knives.
The cabin was low, and the whalebone scimitar was not easy to use, so Hailian simply used a dagger. This dagger is the most valuable possession in his body. The blade is made of clear water steel. It hardly makes a sound when cutting bones and flesh. Feel the hot blood gushing from the wound.
The two confessed their lives without even touching Hailian's clothes. The other finally grabbed Hailian's arm, but was thrown to the ground by the young man and stabbed in the heart. With a smile, he turned his wrist holding the knife, hastening his death.
After all this was done, the ship's hull began to shake again, Hailian staggered two steps, and stood up while supporting the fort. He hadn't had any rice water for two days, and had survived on the stinky saliva in Huisha's mouth until now. After all, he was exhausted. The young man closed his eyes and opened them a few times, and he straightened up only after his vision was no longer blurred. When he got up, he rubbed the two pitch-black cannons with some reluctance, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really a good cannon... Maybe you can try to make a ship of the Fecona family if you put it on the poisonous bee. It's a pity for state people."
"What pity do you say?"
"Who?!"
Hailian turned her head anxiously, and her head was a little dizzy, but fortunately, she had firmly caught the visitor in her shaking vision.
The man came out from the dim cargo hold. He was a tall man from Dongzhou. His face was unrecognizable in the night, and he could only vaguely recognize that the scarlet cloak he was wearing was similar to those of the navy outside, but the material was more exquisite. There is also a delicate black embroidery on the edge. If you guessed correctly, this person is the captain of this warship. The captain smiled at Hailian, holding the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand, and raised the other hand horizontally, pointing directly at Hailian's head.
As soon as Hai Lian saw this thing, he didn't even have the strength to curse.
"Little pirate, do you know what this is?" the visitor asked him intentionally.
"Yes, short-fire gun." Hai Lian licked his lower lip, "Move your index finger, and my head can be punched right through."
"Hey, it seems quite knowledgeable."
"I saw it at Bolang Merchant, it was too expensive and I couldn't afford it."
"It's quite expensive. It's produced in Tiege Valley in Beimo, and it cost me two months' salary."
Hai Lian put his hands behind his back and held on to the turret, unwilling to let the people in front of him see that he was at the end of his battle, "It seems that your salary is not low...Captain?"
"Yes." The other party admitted, "You too?"
"No, I dream of becoming one, but I can't." Hai Lian didn't want to talk nonsense with this person, but the distance between the two of them was too far, and he couldn't guarantee that he could dodge the gun and at the same time get close quickly. The other party, "You captain, you are incompetent. Instead of following the guys on the deck, you actually cat in a corner. Why, are you afraid of death?"
The man smiled even deeper after hearing this, and nodded, "I really don't have much experience. I've only been in office for two months. This is the first time I've fought against pirates."
Hailian also laughed, he laughed like a cat, and his voice was lazy: "Two months... two months is only enough to play with naked children in shallow puddles."
He mocked the captain, but the captain was not angry, and even changed the subject leisurely: "What did you just say is a pity?"
"I said it's a pity for you." Hailian blinked slowly, "The first time you go to sea, you will die at my hands."
As soon as the words fell, a pill in his hand waved on the ground—the second smoke bomb, he jumped forward under the wrap of white mist, and the moment his footsteps landed, his scalp felt hot, and at the same time, his ears exploded, and the opponent really opened fire. shot. Fortunately, the firecrackers are single-shot, and once fired, the reload time is enough for this person to die ten times under Hai Lian's hands. Hai Lian knew that his head must have been scratched by the fire bullet, but he didn't have time to wipe the blood from his eyelashes, and swung the dagger horizontally towards the man's neck.
However, he didn't feel the brisk sound of cutting flesh, instead he chopped on a hard object, and there was a crisp sound like gold and jade hitting each other. barrel! Hai Lian immediately reacted, he retreated half a step, and immediately launched a second attack.
The smoke obstructed his vision, and also made the pungent smell from the bullet go straight down his throat. Under the situation where he could only listen to the voice to argue, Hai Lian gritted his teeth and refused to cough, but what he didn't expect was that the other party had the same experience. full. The two fought against each other several times in the chaos, but Hailian couldn't stab the knife into the deadly part of the man. He knew that his strength was losing fast, if he didn't solve it...
At this moment, the hull of the ship shook violently in the wave crest. At this moment, the wound on Hailian's forehead was hit hard. In the fog, it is completely impossible to distinguish between north and south, east and west. If it were him normally, it would not hurt or itch at all, but at this moment, it was as if all his strength had been knocked out by this blow, his knees softened and he fell downwards.
When the smoke dissipates, the winner is already divided.
Hai Lian, who was choking someone else's neck half a quarter of an hour ago, is now being blocked by someone. The other party firmly pressed him on the ground, threw the dagger and saber aside, forced his cheeks to press against the ground, and reappeared. The cold loaded barrel kissed his wet browbones.
The rookie captain's voice came condescendingly: "Little pirate brother, you are very skilled."
"I didn't eat today, and I have no energy, or you will die."
Hai Lian's honesty made the man laugh again: "Are all the people on your boat as good as you?"
"No, I'm the best. Otherwise why send me to deal with you?"
The captain let out a sigh, and he felt a little regretful: "That's too bad, your ship will lose."
