Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 149 (External Part) Fierce Battle

I have met Jiang Bandits more than once or twice.

However, apart from the first time, none of the Jiang bandits took the initiative to attack the warship, and only a few times the Jiang bandits tried to attack the merchant ships escorted by the warships, but they were also driven away by the escort of the warships.

Wang Pu didn't expect that the Jiang bandits would come directly at the warship today.

What was even more unexpected was that there were actually three boats in today's bandits, and the number of them seemed to be about forty or fifty.

"Many men, the starboard and starboard sides will definitely be attacked by thieves, be careful."

Wang Pu was a little worried about the many male soldiers, not because he didn't believe in the memories of many men, but because it was their first encounter with the enemy, and Wang Pu still remembered the first encounter with the enemy so far, it was too startling. The feeling of life and death is something that recruits cannot adapt to.

Many men said coldly: "Take care of yourself."

Seeing that many men were still dissatisfied, Wang Pu was relieved a lot, as long as he held his strength in his heart, it was because he was stimulated by the general sentence at that time, and in order to prove that he was not a coward, he overcame his nervousness , began to counterattack.

If many men can face the enemy calmly because of this, then Wang Pu really hopes that many men will be more dissatisfied.

"preparation!"

Wang Pu didn't care about other aspects, he only shouted to his soldiers.

Although there are only six people in total with Wang Pu, Wang Pu believes that these soldiers can handle it completely.

I saw that a few soldiers were not very nervous. As soon as they heard that they were ready, they immediately raised their guns and stared closely at the outside of the ship.

The Jiang bandit boat outside the boat was getting closer and closer, and there were more people than the last time I met them. They were coming straight towards the bow of the boat, but suddenly parted a few tens of feet away, with two people on the left and one on the right. Come, this is to surround them.

From this point of view, the Jiang bandits were planning to attack them from the front, left, and right sides. Wang Pu looked at the stern of the boat, and Chen Baodi led his men to prepare for it. Chen Baodi gave up the stern.

Zhang Dawei steered the helm. At this time, he saw that the enemy ship was approaching, so he lowered the sails, but he did not drop the anchor, because he was worried that the Jiang bandits would not attack the warships after the anchor broke down, but instead attacked the merchant ships. Once again, we all know each other well, so it's better to be careful.

Jiang Bandit really didn't play tricks this time, so he rushed straight over and attacked directly.

Wang Pu felt that he was beaten all of a sudden.

The two bandit ships moved left and right, sandwiching the warship, and then they started shooting arrows crazily.

To be precise, it was shooting crossbow arrows. There were dozens of crossbows on the opponent's ship, and the arrows flew continuously, so that Wang Pu didn't dare to look up.

Everyone squatted under the ship's side, but there were still some arrows, because some crossbow arrows flew over the port side and shot many men's teams under the starboard side, and some crossbow arrows crossed the starboard side and shot Wang Pu's team under the port side. The bow and stern have not been attacked for the time being.

Wang Pu was so suppressed that he didn't dare to look up at all. He had no experience in commanding, and he was extremely flustered at this moment, looking around wildly.

But he saw that Lao Zhang, who was steering the wheel, was very calm at this time, leaning sideways on the side of the ship in front, taking advantage of the fact that there were no bandit ships attacking here, he sneaked out his head to observe.

Lao Zhang's performance made Wang Pu feel relieved suddenly.

"what!"

At this moment, there was a sudden cry, it was a soldier next to him.

Wang Pu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, are you hurt?"

The soldier fumbled around and pulled a crossbow bolt from his clothes. The crossbow bolt was only a foot long and had no arrow feathers. Therefore, the stability of the crossbow arrow was not as good as that of a bow arrow. Too much, this is on the river, you can see everything at a glance, the wind is already strong, and the crossbow arrows are flying over the tall warships, so the force is much weaker, and they didn't shoot through the mandarin duck battle jacket.

But this was just a fluke, Wang Pu saw many men, several of them were already lying on the ground and screaming in pain, obviously seriously injured.

Wang Pu secretly sighed, at this moment, he didn't gloat at all because many men were hit, but felt that something was wrong. At this time, everyone felt that they were a team under heavy pressure.

Many men also looked over at this time, and their expressions seemed to be concerned about Wang Pu's side, and they faintly gave people a feeling of asking for help. When Wang Pu looked at him, many men suddenly seemed shy, and soon Turning around, he didn't look at this side, he stuck to the ship's side tightly, lowered his head to avoid the rain of arrows.

Wang Pu was looking at Chen Baodi and Song Kun. They were no different from when he first met Jiang Bandit. They were standing beside the boat in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Wang Pu really wanted to remind the two of them, but at this moment he was extremely flustered. The sound of the river wind, shouts, and wailing, mixed with the sound of arrows raining, could no longer be heard. It was unrealistic to remind Wang Pu in the past. My own side is the focus now, and I dare not leave my position at all.

Suddenly Wang Pu felt that the rain of arrows had stopped, looked at Lao Zhang, and saw that Lao Zhang was still looking at the stern, but he didn't remind himself.

Wang Pu had no choice but to look up at his own risk, and found that someone was climbing the warship, and a few hooks caught the side of the ship at some point.

Wang Pu wanted to cut the rope, but when he saw that the fastest climber was about to board the boat, he couldn't help shouting, and stabbed the Jiang bandit right in the chest.

Then Wang Pu felt a pain in his shoulder, and a crossbow arrow shot him in the shoulder, and it came from behind.

The arrow obviously came from the port side. Unexpectedly, the Jiang bandits on this side had already started climbing, and they were still shooting crossbows on the other side.

Probably because they were on both sides of the warship, and the warship was too large, it was impossible to communicate with each other.

Wang Pu reluctantly pulled out the crossbow arrow. Although the big arrow didn't go deep into his flesh, it hooked a bit of his own flesh. The pain was very painful.

"Get up, murderer!"

Wang Pu shouted, and several of his subordinates stood up, raised their guns and began to fight.

It happened that several Jiang bandits showed their heads at the same time, and two of them were stabbed in the head immediately, and although the other one missed the stab, he let go of his hand in fright and fell down.

Another one finally jumped onto the boat, but was stabbed to death on the boat by two guns at the same time.

Wang Pu was relieved a lot. The second time he killed the enemy was much better than the first time. As long as they were not nervous, they had contacted tens of thousands of assassinations, which was enough to kill any bandit.

The shooting of crossbow arrows on the port side also stopped. Obviously, the other side has also started to climb. The time is about the same, probably the better. As for how to do it at the same time, it is not difficult, the better how many arrows to shoot at the same time Just shoot from the starboard side faster, and the starboard side will attack first; if you shoot slowly from the port side, the port side will attack later.

Wang Pu threw himself into the battle, so he didn't care about these things. He ordered five soldiers to line up in a wall formation, stabbing anyone who came up. Wang Pu himself took a waist knife and began to cut the rope of the flying claw.

There were too many ropes to cut, and the bandits kept throwing them up. Some ropes were cut, and Wang Pu realized that no one was climbing that rope, so Wang Pu soon gave up this futile effort. Useless things, like soldiers, pick up spears to form an formation to kill the enemy.

The Jiang bandits spent a lot of money this time and dispatched three ships, each with 40 to 100 people on board, almost [-] people.

On Wang Pu's side, they happened to be recruiting new recruits, and each team took some people away, but none of them were satisfied.

There are only six people in Wang Pu's team including himself, many men are better, there are only nine, Chen Baodi ten, and only Song Kun is full.

But the reason why the two men have more people is because the training level of the two men is poor, so they really have to rely on themselves and many men.

Wang Pu didn't know how many people he killed. He only knew that there were at least ten people who were stabbed and fell into the water, but the Jiang bandits were still boarding the boat.

This is strange, it doesn't make sense to kill so many people, and there are still people who come to die.

Suddenly, Wang Pu heard the sound of killing behind him, he couldn't help but look back, and couldn't help feeling like a dead soul. There were four or five people boarding the boat on the side of many men, and four or five people were all wearing iron armor. Soldier.

Many male soldiers were not bad, they lined up in a wall formation to assassinate up and down, but the opponents were covered in iron armor, and they couldn't pierce through them. Instead, they pushed many men away and occupied a small space on the boat, and then Jiang bandits rushed through the gap. come up.

Wang Pu immediately looked forward, where Song Kun was in a daze.

Wang Pu yelled: "Song Kun, what are you doing in a daze, come here quickly!"

Only then did Song Kun come to his senses, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and shouted: "Formation, charge!"

Afterwards, his soldiers charged forward in a wall formation. Because the ship was a bit bumpy, when they arrived to support many men, the formation was already in chaos.

Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, and found that suddenly there was a Jiang bandit rushing up from his side, but this Jiang bandit didn't have an iron armor to protect him, so he was quickly killed by himself. At this time, there were no more Jiang bandits climbing on the starboard side.

Wang Pu poked the probe carefully, and found that the boat next to him was blocking it far away, and went around to the rear.

Wang Pu's eyes immediately fell on Chen Baodi who was guarding the stern.

Chen Baodi led people to arrange along the stern and side of the ship, forming a V-shaped structure, and in the middle of them was the big mast steering the ship.

However, Zhang Dawei did not sit idle, and also noticed the bandit boat that circled around.

Suddenly Zhang Dawei shouted: "Raise the sails!"

The other three veterans immediately pulled the sail on the bow vigorously, while the big mast swayed the rudder suddenly, and the hull suddenly tilted to the left. All thrown down.

But soon felt the hull shake, and many people fell down.

Wang Pu also staggered, holding on to the side of the boat, and could not help complaining about Lao Zhang.

At this time, when I looked back, I found that Jiang Bandit's boat had completely reached the stern. It didn't just pass by, but because the big ship turned around and threw the bandit boat to the stern.

"Sail again!"

Zhang Dawei shouted again.

This time Wang Pu had a good eye, and immediately grabbed the side of the boat.

At the same time, start to check the battle situation.

First of all, there are many men, Song Kun's soldiers, many male soldiers, and even Jiang bandits are mixed together. Obviously, the violent shaking just now made everyone crowded together.

Many men are shouting the whole team.

But suddenly the boat shook again, Wang Pu couldn't help being surprised, as if the boat hit something, maybe it was a rock, but there is no rock in the middle of the river.

Thinking about it, Wang Pu's eyes suddenly lit up, and after looking at it, there was no enemy on the starboard side, so he simply took his soldiers to the port side to support.

Gathering up his strength, Wang Pu rushed over, and then charged, his long spear ruthlessly pierced an armored Jiang bandit.

First, I felt the sinking of the hand, and then there was a piercing sound, and then I felt the hand loosen, and the tip of the gun had penetrated deeply into the opponent's body.

Wang Pu pulled out the spear abruptly, and a stream of blood shot out along the blade of the gun, refracting a deep red in the sunlight, and when he pulled out the tip of the spear, a blood mist was brought out, and the color in the sun was very beautiful.

Just as Wang Pu was about to attack the other ship, he felt the boat vibrate again. If he was not careful, he was thrown to the ground and thrown several steps away.

Climbing up with a long spear, Wang Pu's face was ashen, and he couldn't help but curse.

I ran to the ship's side to take a look, and the anger in my heart disappeared immediately.

I saw nearly twenty Jiang bandits falling on the river, one bandit boat was smashed to pieces, and the other bandit boat was knocked out of a hole, and the Jiang bandits were desperately trying to fill the hole.

And there were no climbing bandits on the ship's side, even if there were just now, they probably fell into the water during the three collisions.

Now there are only seven or eight Jiang bandits on board who are still stubbornly resisting, and four of them are wearing iron armor. This is a serious problem, and the others are nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this, Wang Pu had an idea again. Looking at the scene, it was already a chaotic battle, and he couldn't form a team. He simply rushed up again by himself, and stabbed a steel-armored Jiang bandit again.

This time, he hit the door directly, and the Jiang bandit was killed immediately.

When he was about to attack the second one, he was suddenly hit by someone, a soldier in Song Kun's team. Although the shaking warship didn't vibrate again, it kept swaying.

He didn't attack the Jiang bandit, and was almost slashed by the Jiang bandit. Fortunately, the Jiang bandit was stabbed by an unknown soldier in time.

At this time, the scene resumed slightly, the Jiang Bandit was forced to the side of the ship, and the soldiers outside gradually formed a circular encirclement, but the team was completely disrupted, Wang Pu was not on either side of his soldiers, and he had no time to tell whose subordinates it was. , Anyway, they all stabbed randomly with long guns, some stabbed the chest according to the habit, some assassinated the legs, and some assassinated the head.

The Jiang bandits fought stubbornly with a few armored elites as the core, but they were still fewer and fewer. They couldn't stand the attack of opponents several times larger than them. All the Jiang bandits climbed up, and the consequences were disastrous.

Wang Pu was a little lucky, fortunately, Lao Zhang had an idea today, and he knew how to hit a small boat with a big boat, otherwise today would be a bad day.

"kill!"

As the last Jiang Bandit suddenly fell to his knees, all the Jiang Bandits fell, and Wang Pu breathed a sigh of relief.

When I had time to look outside, I found that a bandit ship was going away, one was completely broken into pieces, and the other was capsizing, and the bandits on board jumped into the water one after another.

"Uncle Zhang, let's get the head!"

Wang Pu sighed. For the first time, instead of calling Lao Zhang, he called Uncle Zhang. He saw the surviving Jiang bandits swimming and running away, and there were still some dead bodies floating on the river, slowly drifting away. These are military exploits. , It would be a pity if he ran away, Wang Pu immediately suggested to Zhang Dawei.

Zhang Dawei nodded: "Lower the sails, drop the anchor!"
