Chapter 228 Fierce battle on the lake
Shi Chuan did not hesitate: "When we bumped into it, our ship was large and the firepower was fierce. The two ships behind did not dare to approach, and they just hit the front at full speed. First, deal with the two ships in front... Ling Peng, can you row a boat?"
Ling Peng smiled bitterly: "Master, we brothers are both landslides. Although we can dig a few times when we enter the water, the water temperature is so cold that we may not be able to swim far."
Shi Chuan ordered: "Then stay where you are and wait for this ship. I will take your brother to the opposite side to seize the ship... Don't worry, the lake bandits on the Weishan Lake Waterway are all divided into sections. After we wipe out these groups of lake bandits, no one will come to rob this area again. As long as we entangle the lake bandits in front, the rear will be safe - if anyone comes to provoke you, you can just use the thunder in the palm of your hand to deal with them."
Ling Peng moved his feet for a moment and shouted in embarrassment: "Master, that black servant doesn't speak to me. I don't want to do it. It's better to take her away than to leave her on the boat."
Shi Chuan thought for a while: "That's fine, I'll leave the old butler Nash to help you. He can understand Song Yu a little bit. If you have any questions, please order him."
Shi Chuan turned his head and said a few words to the Indian housekeeper, then greeted the boss of the ship and said with a smile: "I, Shi, have never suffered a loss. Someone dared to rob me, maybe I am impatient. Haha, in this season, the gangsters are preparing for the winter. I must have accumulated a lot of money in the nest. I will kill a few people on the ship later. You give me a few sailors and manipulate the robber ship we stolen. Let's go to his nest to get half of the money you get. How about it?"
The ship boss looked around and hesitated: "Chengxinlang, this group of gangsters dispatched five ships at once, totaling 70 or 80 people. I guess they are a powerful gangster. You..."
Shi Chuan cut off the other party's words: "When the lake bandits are robbing, they must send out most of the manpower. The ones who stay in the nest are only the old and weak. At most, a small team of manpower will be left. Three or two boats will be amazing. Wait a while, your ship will anchor in the middle of the river, and the crew will not need so many. The ship is protected by the Ling brothers. I will go back that night and hand over the property and ships I have obtained. What do you think?"
The boss of the boat gritted his teeth: "If you do it, the other person is a small boat. The sails are controlled by two people, and one person is at the helm. I will go with you and bring two more apprentices."
Shi Chuan waved his hand: "Go down and arrange it."
At this time, Shi Tong's boat had already adjusted its direction. The sailor holding the bamboo artemisia had already pushed away the corner of the coming boat, and several other sailors captured the ship with bamboo artemisia. At the same time, the two fast boats at the stern had already opened up and began to shoot arrows here. Unfortunately, a hundred meters away, even if the bow and arrow could shoot onto the boat, there was not much power left.
At the same time, the two ships that were coming towards him had no intention of hiding. The two ships seemed to be different from the gangsters at the stern. The gangsters at the stern rushed here hard, scolding them for crossing the boundary, and asking them to report their names, but the ship came without saying a word and rushed here with his head down.
The two ships behind were medium-sized cargo ships. Twenty or thirty strong men stood on the deck. These twenty or thirty strong men were dressed much neatly, with a blue cloth coat, a black headscarf wrapped around their heads, thin-soled fast boots under their feet, a wide belt on their waists, and a narrow and long sword in their hands. There was also a man on the deck carrying tiger claws in his hand, making a throwing look. It seemed that he was preparing to fight with the gang. Fortunately, there were no long-range weapons on the opposite ship.
Shi Chuan waved to Ling Fei and the black servant, and asked the two in different languages: "How fast can you shoot the gun?"
Ling Fei and the black servant answered the same thing: "It depends on how fast the bullet is loaded."
"Try it, don't damage the boat, don't worry about loading problems, how quick it is to hit it."
Ping-pong, and the sound of gunfire sounded, Ling Fei was fighting happily, even though the life of shooting was really happy, he threw the empty gun down after a shot, and the Indian housekeeper would hand over a loaded gun, and the quick loading musket was next to him like an octopus.
The gunshots in his ears were deafening, and the black servant also fired, and the shooting speed was faster than Ling Fei, and his accurate head was even higher than Ling Fei. Ling Fei held his breath and accelerated the shooting speed. The smoke of gunpowder became louder and louder. Shi Tong was in the limelight, driving downward, almost getting into the smoke of gunpowder.
Ling Fei could no longer see it, and there was a choking smoke in front of him. He slowed down his shooting speed. At this moment, he heard the gunshot behind him - the master shot.
Shi Tong's shooting speed was faster. Now, it was also impossible for the black servant to stop shooting and began to load gunpowder. There was still thick smoke in front of him, and the barrel of the gun became hotter and hotter. Ling Fei looked at Shi Tong in wonder and found that Shi Tong's eyes were also white smoke in front of him, but Shi Tong's eyes seemed to be able to see through the thick fog, and he picked up the gun and shot without hesitation.
Ling Fei stopped loading, and then the black servant stopped loading. Ling Fei opened his mouth and pungent smoke poured into his mouth. He coughed violently and said with difficulty: "Cough cough, master... the barrel is too hot... it cannot be loaded."
The thick smoke made Ling Fei see only the size of his nose. The smoke stimulated his eyes to tears. At this time, the gunfire paused. Ling Fei tried hard to find the master's position with his ears, and coughed violently.
At this time, several juren in the cabin asked worriedly: "It won't be a problem, right? Why are the fights outside so fiercely?"
With a loud explosion, Ling Peng, who was at the stern, threw a grenade again, and smoke wrapped around the bow of the ship. The two ships at the stern took the opportunity to get closer, intending to pick up the bargain.
Ling Peng has not practiced throwing these days in vain. Although the grenade he threw was not as accurate as it was sometimes worn, the grenade also landed in front of the bow of the boat. With the explosion, the metal corner of the lake bandit ship was blown away, and a gap was blown out on the bow of the boat and began to sink. At the same time, three or two lake bandits on the deck were brought up by the explosion, and rolled down to the ground with their faces covered, moaning.
After passing Xuzhou, Ling Peng specially purchased some broken iron sheets and iron filings to replace iron sand. After these small iron filings were exploded and splashed, they were even more powerful than iron sand. The iron sand was lighter in weight and was not far from sputtering. Even if they were splashed on the skin, if they were lucky, they would at most burn into pockmarks. However, the iron filings were still lethal until they fell to the ground. After these iron filings penetrated into the skin... Considering the medical level of this era, the injured were basically helpless.
In the cabin, Huang Yu's hands were a little trembling. He tried to calm down and said comfortingly: "It doesn't matter. Shi Changqing's most powerful thing is his close combat skills. The yamen runners in our place have seen it with their own eyes - those who were punched by him are basically helpless."
Ling Peng's explanation of the juren breathed a lightly, but Huang Yu's explanation of the scholar came to slander the stage. A juren said softly: "But that's on the shore. I admit that Shi Changqing is invincible in Land Zhan. Now it's a bit hard to say."
There is no shortage of pessimists at any time. As soon as the pessimistic theory came out, the people on the boat became panicked again. Someone stood up in panic: "No, the gunshots stopped. Could it be that the gangsters have jumped onto the boat by relying on the gang?"
Huang Yu strongly retorted calmly: "Impossible. I have been on a boat before. When the people on the boat walked around, the hull was about to shake. I just shook it for a while, as if a man had jumped out of our boat. This person was very powerful and even made the hull sink a little. I guess it must be Shi Changqing who jumped out and fought."
Huang Yu guessed it well, and the smoke of gunpowder disappeared. Ling Fei had already discovered Shi Chuan's figure appeared on the enemy ship. He waved his Park Knife like a flash of lightning, and ran from the bow to the stern of the ship. Then, he jumped out from the stern and jumped to the ship behind.
The hull of the first ship blocked Ling Fei's vision. Ling Fei wanted to move his footsteps and chose a good position to continue observing. He was worried about losing the bow position. He hesitated for a moment. At this moment, the black servant beside him muttered that he could not understand the language. With this statement, the person standing on the first enemy ship began to slowly soften.
The first ship had been cleared, and there were constant screams from the subsequent ships, but unfortunately the first ship blocked its sight.
At this time, the boss of the ship hurriedly ran over and commanded the enemy ship in a hurry. At the same time, an explosion sounded again at the stern of the ship.
After the explosion, five or six explosions came in the stern of the ship, and a piece of gunpowder covered the stern. When the gunpowder dissipated, the second ship also appeared in the bow. Shi Zhi was on the second ship, rushing to control the rudder. The ship was being controlled by Shi Zhi, twisting and twisting. Seeing this, the boss of the ship hurriedly called three or four boatmen to swim over and barely control the ship.
The smoke from the stern of the boat dissipated, and there was only one lake bandit ship left on the river, and the other lake bandit ship was only masts left. There were still several lake bandits swimming quickly on the lake. Some of them were holding short knives in their mouths and swam in a boat while rushing, but more of them swam towards their own boats.
The black servant lady ran to the stern with a gun and began to shoot the lake bandits in the water. Ling Fei was awakened and ran to the stern with a gun.
The current shooting method is like shooting a fixed plate. How fast can you swim? The body floating on the water is the target. Ling Fei aimed carefully and shot one shot after another slowly.
No one can wear a boat when climbing.
The lake bandit ship in the distance met with some of the lake bandits swimming towards them and began to turn around to prepare for escape. The boss of the second boat was already in control. While instructing the people on the boat to take care of the captured ships, they collected the sails and anchored the anchor on the spot. While urging them, they rushed to: "Dalang, the lake bandits' boat is small, so you have to follow quickly. The branches in the middle of Weishan Lake are densely covered with branches. If they run into the reeds, we can't even tell the way, so we dare not chase them at will."
Shi Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I promise to get more than you can't even hold this ship, turn the rudder."
The ship boss ordered the guys to clean up the deck, throw the corpses of the lake bandits into the middle of the river, and wash the blood on the deck, ran to the cabin to check it out, climbed onto the deck and said in annoyance: "Unfortunately, this is an empty ship, with nothing but a small amount of ballast, as well as food and water."
Shi Chuan laughed at the sky: "That's right, there are more empty cabins, and there are more things you can hold."
The ship boss blinked: "Chengxinlang, why do you still need to load things? But there are only six of us. The boatmen want to control the ship. When they move the goods later, they can only count on you master and apprentice... Oh hee, you master and apprentice can fill the cabin in one night, I don't believe it."
