The dull cannon fire sounded in the ears of both of them.

Meng Tianxiong was raising the hammer and smashing it hard towards the chisel. Due to the shaking of the hull, the hammer actually hit his finger. Fortunately, the strong resistance of the sea water slowed down the hammer, otherwise his finger would have broken long ago.

A few wisps of red blood floating in the sea water floated past his eyes. Meng Tianxiong didn't care about the severe and heart-wrenching pain, so he waved his hammer and continued to knock on the chisel.

The pirates suddenly fired artillery, which clearly shows that the pirates had discovered that the "Happy" had resisted them. The angry pirates would never give up. If they did not bombard the "Happy" into a pile of fragments, they would never give up.

All hope is placed on them, and Meng Tianxiong couldn't help but remind himself to be more calm so that he can complete the task more quickly.

Amid the dull and dense sound of artillery, the two began to use chisels to pry the cracks at the bottom of the ship to create holes. This time they chose a cooperation method. They inserted the chisel into both ends of the cracks, then held the chisel tightly with both hands, and kicked the bottom of the ship with both feet, gathering all the strength on their bodies into the chisel.

"One, two, start! One, two, start!" The two of them shouted slogans in their hearts while trying hard.

Below the sea that was constantly shaking are two of their faces that were twisted by excessive force. On these two twisted faces, you can see something called perseverance.

On the deck of the "Happy" pirate shells kept falling down, and the rumbling explosions were heard. Soldiers were constantly hit by shells, and blood and flesh flew across the deck. Thick smoke was everywhere, which was terrible.

At this time, Wei Dong rushed out of the medical cabin and bandaged the wounded soldier to stop bleeding.

Long Zhantian ordered soldiers with crossbows and muskets in his hands to shoot at the pirates on the boat, and the other soldiers killed the pirates who climbed onto the side of the boat.

However, due to the small number of crossbows and muskets, the lethality is obviously not enough. The pirates on the boat used crossbow machines instead. More than a dozen crossbow machines covered the pirates climbing up. As long as the soldiers on the "Happy" dared to stretch their heads out from the side of the ship, the rapid and powerful crossbow arrows would shoot through the soldiers' heads. Under the cover of pirate artillery and crossbow machines, the pirates kept boarding the "Happy".

Long Zhantian led the soldiers to fight with more and more pirates. He held the Xiuchun Sword in his hand tightly. His sword had not killed anyone for many years. Today, he finally had the opportunity to let his sword taste the taste of human blood. Thinking of this, Long Zhantian's eyes became as cold as frost.

He also wants to protect Lin Jinjia behind him. He is just a scholar. In Li Dongsheng's words, he is powerless and he does not allow Lin Jinjia to experience any danger or mistakes.

The pirates obviously saw the special nature of the young man in front of them. After the three pirates slashed and licked the blood from the corner of their mouths, they rushed towards Long Zhantian with great understanding.

Long Zhantian stared at them vigilantly. Suddenly, the pirate rushed over with a shout. His knife slashed high above Long Zhantian's head, and his ferocious face was filled with madness. Long Zhantian flashed, and the blade brushed across Long Zhantian's body and chopped down. The pirate leaned forward because of excessive force, causing his whole body to lose balance. Long Zhantian raised his right foot and pointed at his knee. The pirate immediately leaned over and fell on the deck, but Long Zhantian didn't look at it. He stabbed in his back with a knife. The pirate raised his head in pain and screamed and moaned, and soon died.

The other two pirates slashed from the left and right sides of Long Zhantian with red eyes. Long Zhantian squatted down and avoided their attacks. The two pirates' swords made a violent impact, making a "sloppy" sound. Long Zhantian held the knife in both hands, and his whole body rotated for a whole circle. He heard two "chi" sounds, and blood splashed, and the pirate fell on the deck without moving.

"As long as anyone dares to come up, I will immediately let him splatter blood on the spot." Long Zhantian held the blood-dropping knife and roared at the pirate.

The pirate didn't know what he said, but just now, three companions died under Long Zhantian's sword in an instant. The pirates couldn't help but feel scared. They surrounded Long Zhantian in the middle and hesitated not to rush forward to him.

Lin Jinjia had never encountered a battle formation before. When he looked at the soldiers and pirates fighting on the deck, his face looked a little pale because of his nervousness.

Just as Long Zhantian was fighting with the pirates, Lin Jinjia suddenly saw a pirate carrying a bloody knife and rushing towards Wei Dong, who was bandaging the injured soldiers. No one could stop the pirates at all, and Wei Dong was in extreme danger.

In desperation, Lin Jinjia pried apart the hand of a dead soldier, picked up a musket from his hand, and prepared to shoot at the pirate who was rushing towards Wei Dong.

Fired a fire spear requires a fire spear to ignite, but he did not have a fire spear in his hand. In desperation, Lin Jinjia shouted loudly: "Wei Dong be careful of your back!"

Wei Dong suddenly looked up and looked back, and saw a huge pirate with dark skin holding a knife and slashing it on his head. Wei Dong's face changed drastically, and his instinctive reaction was to roll forward. The pirate's knife slashed on the hard deck, leaving a deep knife mark.

The pirate was very angry when he failed to hit Wei Dong. His face became extremely twisted. He opened his mouth and was shouting. He didn't know what to shout. His teeth, which were blackened because of excessive chewing betel nut, seemed terrible.

The pirate ship continued to fire artillery, and the mast of the "Happy" was directly hit by the cannon and broke into two pieces. With a loud "boom", the mast fell in front of Lin Jinjia's eyes. The huge shock force made him tremble all over. On the fallen mast, the sails also burned, and thick smoke on the ship rolled.

Fortunately, the inscription "Shark No. 169 Copper Gun" that was a bit rough on the musket, Lin Jinjia grabbed it tightly, otherwise the musket might have been out of his hand in panic just now.

Lin Jinjia carried the musket and put the wires onto the flames. He heard the sound of "chichi" sound. He aimed the musket at the pirate who was chasing Wei Dong with a knife.

Suddenly, a "bang" sound. Lin Jinjia's hand holding the musket suddenly felt a burning pain, and the musket fell to the ground.

At this time, Wei Dong had been forced to the side of the ship by the pirates. He had no way to escape except to turn over and jump into the sea. Even if he really jumped down, the pirates would not leave him time to turn around. He would kill Wei Dong.

Wei Dong looked at the pirate with a grim smile in horror, and the other party's shadow cast on his face. Wei Dong closed his eyes. His death had arrived.

However, the knife in the pirate's hand was not cut off for a long time. Wei Dong opened his eyes and saw the pirate in front of him shaking. His face had already turned to the other side. His expression was so desperate and unwilling.

Wei Dong hurriedly rolled to the left for two consecutive times. The pirate fell down the side of the ship he had just leaned against, and then fell into the sea. Just as the pirate fell, he saw that there were more than a dozen small holes bleeding on the back of the pirate.

Wei Dong panted and looked in the direction where the pirate was just looking, and saw the musket in Lin Jinjia's hand was smoking. Wei Dong understood that this time it was Lin Jinjia who saved him. He smiled at Lin Jinjia, but Lin Jinjia was indifferent to his smile, and looked at the musket on the deck with his head down.

"The Ming soldiers use such a difficult weapon? I must improve this small firearm." Lin Jinjia's low voice floated into Wei Dong's ears.

The battle between soldiers and pirates continued. Although the Ming soldiers were well-trained, they were unable to exert their combat effectiveness in the face of the brutal pirates. There were more and more pirates on the deck, while fewer and fewer soldiers.

At the bottom of the pirate ship, Meng Tianxiong and Li Dongsheng finally pried open two holes, and sea water continued to pour into the bottom cabin of the pirate ship, and bubbles emerged upwards.

In the pirate's cabin, a pirate in charge of patrol patrolled the bottom cabin, and the sea water had already passed his instep. Then he saw two holes gushing upwards.

The pirate immediately ran to the place where the sea water surged, and the sound of the wooden board breaking suddenly sounded, and one of the pirate's feet suddenly fell and he sat down. The pirate lifted his foot in horror and found that there was a larger hole in the bottom cabin, and the sea water kept gushing out.

The pirate ran out of the bottom pole while shouting loudly.

Meng Tianxiong and Li Dongsheng didn't know what was going on in the bottom cabin of the pirate ship until they pried open the third hole, and a hairy foot suddenly fell from the hole. They knew that the pirates had discovered them and that they were no longer safe under the boat.

"What should I do next?" Li Dongsheng asked after floating out of the water and took a breath.

Meng Tianxiong looked at the "Happy" in the distance, and saw thick smoke rolling on the "Happy" and the hull was a little tilted, which seemed to not last long.

"I finally dug three holes, so I must not let them block them back." Meng Tianxiong's tone was very firm.

Li Dongsheng nodded and as Meng Tianxiong sneaked into the sea again. As Meng Tianxiong expected, the pirates in the ship had already begun to look for things to block the holes in the bottom cabin. Naturally, the two of them could not let them get what they wanted. As long as the three holes were blocked, they would poke them up with an iron chisel. After a few rounds, water continued to pour into the cabin.

Both of them knew very well that the pirates would never just block the caves they created. Sure enough, not long after, four pirates appeared in the sea. Each of them held a spear in his hand and stabbed them straight at them while swimming.

Meng Tianxiong secretly complained that he had consumed a lot of energy in order to dig a hole, and now he has to deal with pirates who often fight in the water. He feels a little overwhelmed.

He was considering a countermeasure. A spear had already stabbed towards his neck. Meng Tianxiong kicked hard at the bottom of the ship, tilting his head back. The pirate did not give up, but the spear kept following him tightly.

Meng Tianxiong's speed was getting slower and slower, and the spear was getting closer and closer to his neck. Just when Meng Tianxiong felt unable to avoid it, Li Dongsheng suddenly swam over, and one of his big hands grabbed the spear that stabbed Meng Tianxiong.

The pirate was stunned and he hurriedly pulled back his spear, but how could Li Dongsheng let him do it? Li Dongsheng also kicked his feet hard at the bottom of the ship, and his whole body shot out. He used this force to seize the pirate's spear.

At this moment, another pirate held the spear tightly in both hands and stabbed Li Dongsheng at the same time. Li Dongsheng had no intention of avoiding it, but instead stepped forward to meet it and held the spear in one hand. At the same time, Li Dongsheng handed the spear that he had just seized to Meng Tianxiong.

Meng Tianxiong seized this fleeting opportunity. He held the spear and stabbed the pirate who had been caught. He stabbed the other party's neck accurately. Blood immediately gushed out, like a red ribbon floating in the water.

Seeing this, the other three pirates did not retreat because of a companion being killed. They swam over with spears again.

After a few rounds at the bottom of the water, the two men's chests were already extremely stuffy, so they had to expose their heads from the sea to breathe fresh air. But as soon as they showed up, the archers who were already ready on the boat immediately attacked them.

The feather arrow shot down from above his head, and the two had to dive back into the water, but Meng Tianxiong's speed was still a little slower, and an arrow shot his shoulder.

The bottom of the water was even more dangerous. After floating on the sea and breathing, the three pirates dived into the bottom and attacked them again.

The sea water violently stimulated the wound, and Meng Tianxiong felt a huge pain. However, the arrow left on Meng Tianxiong's shoulder was the real hidden danger. The existence of the arrow slowed down Meng Tianxiong's swimming speed. When he was swimming under the water, the arrow kept shaking left and right, and the feeling was like stabbing his wound with a stick.

Meng Tianxiong could only grit his teeth and endure this pain. He could not give up fighting because of the pain in his body. What is his mission? Only by solving the pirates in front of him can he prevent the pirates on the ship from blocking three holes, and the pirate ship would sink to the bottom of the sea and lose its ability to attack.

He must endure, and he can only endure.

Another pirate held a spear and stabbed Meng Tianxiong. This time he did not choose to retreat. He also held a spear and rushed towards the pirate.

The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road, and Meng Tianxiong no longer has the choice to retreat. It is his only choice to solve the pirates immediately, otherwise everything will be wasted.

The two were getting closer and closer. When the spear was only a few inches away from his head, Meng Tianxiong suddenly turned his head and dodged the pirate's spear. The sharp spear teared open his ears. His brows frowned slightly. He continued to thrust the spear and still stabbed the pirate's face with the spear!

Death was right in front of him, Meng Tianxiong smiled, but he soon realized that he was proud too early and he made a fatal mistake.

After seeing Meng Tianxiong avoiding his attack, the pirate indeed gave up the spear and freed up his hands to grab Meng Tianxiong's spear firmly. Then he pulled hard, Meng Tianxiong's body suddenly lost balance and was pulled by the pirate. (To be continued, Piaotian, Literature Registered Member Recommended this work
