Chapter 230 War
"Why else would they be standing there facing each other for so many days? They are just standing there facing each other and not moving forward. They survive on the sea, where do they get food and drink? After so many days, the things they brought with them must have been used up."
When Chen Shiyi heard this, his cheerful expression gradually dimmed.
"Could there be any unexpected changes?"
As the sky darkened and the sea became increasingly gloomy, their ship felt like it was sailing in the abyss, with no bottom, which made them increasingly restless and uneasy.
I didn't get to have dinner as I imagined, but instead I just enjoyed the sea breeze.
The sea breeze was filled with a fishy smell, but it also brought with it a strange taste.
Chen Shiyi and Master Xu Zhou looked at each other. This feeling was all too familiar. During the time they were sailing on the sea, they became extremely sensitive to smells and even slightly abnormal movements.
As the dim wind lantern hanging on the mast lit up, four more huge ships appeared vaguely at the back of the fleet that was supposed to have five ships on the opposite side.
Chen Shiyi, Master Xu Zhou, and Fu Da stood at the bow, their eyes wide open.
A look of disbelief, mixed with worry.
"It looks like a fierce battle is coming."
"They have nine Class A warships in total. Daye also has many ships, but I don't know how strong they are. This is considered to be evenly matched."
Master Xu Zhou shook his head.
"Boss, that's not the case. Their Class A warships can carry at least two pointed boats. I'm afraid the situation is not good."
Suddenly, the enemy's warships were instantly ablaze with flames, and the strong flames illuminated half of the sea.
The nine warships instantly dispersed and surrounded Daye's warships.
Daye's warships were not to be outdone. The ten warships responded quickly at an extremely fast speed.
Chen Shiyi looked tense, watching the battle ahead, not wanting to miss a single detail.
Master Xu Zhou said with a serious expression.
"We have to be prepared too."
Suddenly, there were huge bangs on the sea. The explosions were so loud that if you were nearby, the sound would make your head explode.
Chen Shiyi glanced at Daye's warship. There were one or two black holes protruding from the parapet of the warship. Flames kept coming out from there, and the noise came from there.
Chen Shiyi's face was horrified.
"Master Xu Zhou, what is that?"
"It is a firearm from Daye. It is extremely lethal, very difficult to make, and very rare. The imperial court only has it on warships."
It seemed that Fu Da had also seen such a weapon for the first time and was very shocked.
On the sea, the enemy's warships were engulfed in flames, burning their own warships.
But the enemy seemed to be paying no attention to these things and was just rushing towards their warships.
The enemy's bows and arrows were flaming and were pouring down on Daye's warships.
The furled mast was on fire, but the fire was immediately extinguished by the sailors on the ship.
But there were too many of them and they could not be extinguished.
After a while, there was fire everywhere on the ship, whether it was the enemy or Daye's warship.
"Boss, there's a ship coming towards us."
Fu Da yelled behind him.
"Defense."
Everyone was on alert instantly. Behind the female wall, Chen Shiyi was a little panicked. He took off the bow and arrow on his back, lit kerosene on it, drew the bow, and as soon as he loosened his right hand, the arrow flew towards the enemy's warship like a meteor.
Suddenly, the enemy's mast flag was set on fire.
Arrows flew towards the Yuyuan like a blanket of fire.
In an instant, the entire Yuyuan was engulfed in flames.
"Quick, someone put out the fire!"
Chen Shiyi hid behind the parapet and saw a dozen small boats approaching in the sea.
"Fu Da, come on, cover me."
After hearing this, Fu Da quickly swung the silver gun in his hand and blocked Chen Shiyi.
Chen Shiyi suddenly stood up from his hiding place on the parapet, took out three arrows from behind, and looked calm. With a whoosh, the three enemy soldiers on the boat fell into the water in an instant.
Chen Shiyi's bow and arrow are extremely accurate. So far, none of the dozens of arrows he has shot have missed the target.
No matter what, we must not allow those people on the small boats to board the big ship, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
The fierce fight continued, the wind blew on the sea, the waves gradually surged, and the waves got higher and higher!
Even so, the sea was filled with flaming warships, which did not dim as the waves grew larger.
The sound of drums, roars, screams, and the whizzing of bows and arrows shook the entire sea.
Chen Shiyi kept firing arrows in his hand, and the enemy was also very cunning. Seeing that Chen Shiyi couldn't get any advantage, they attacked the warships of the eight major families.
Perhaps because they had participated in naval battles before, their fighting power was surprisingly strong.
No wonder the Duwei Mansion had to provide its own guards, it turned out that something similar had happened before.
The screams became louder and louder, and the battle entered its most intense phase.
No one has any weapons left.
Bows and arrows, firearms, trebuchets…
It's almost all gone.
Chen Shiyi pulled the bow too many times this time, and now her whole arm was a little numb. She panted and leaned carefully behind the parapet.
"careful!"
At that moment, the scarlet blood soaked Chen Shiyi's clothes and even splashed a few drops on her face, flowing down her cheeks into her neck.
A soldier from the ancient Luo Kingdom was stabbed to death by the sword.
Fu Da's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He threw the man into the sea and shouted to everyone.
"There are enemies under the ship, please be on guard."
He patrolled around Chen Shiyi, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
"Don't worry, I told you I'll protect you and keep you safe."
The people were guarding around the ship, staring intently at the outer edge of the ship, fearing that the enemy might bring the eagle claw hook and sneak onto the ship.
Chen Shiyi's ship was already in ruins and in a terrible state, and the nearby ships were not much better.
Three of the enemy's ships were completely still, allowing the fire to burn bigger and bigger, forming a huge fire field on the sea.
"Boss, they won't last much longer."
Fu Da said coldly.
"We won't last much longer."
Chen Shiyi held a bow and arrow and looked around vigilantly.
"Boss, look, they are starting to run away."
Suddenly, a fierce horn sounded on the sea.
"Chase…"
The enemy was already at the end of its strength, and Daye's sailors swarmed around them. Gradually, only one ship escaped.
An idea suddenly popped up in Chen Shiyi's mind.
"Master Xu Zhou, my Yuyuan is so damaged, can it still sail far away?"
Master Xu Zhou felt very sorry.
"This battle was extremely fierce. The capital of the Duwei Mansion was almost destroyed in one fell swoop. Your ship was also badly damaged. After repairing it, you can still sail in the nearby waters, but I'm afraid you can't go to the country of Posati."
