Seeing that the overwhelming attack with great advantages turned into a dogfight in the water, the girl in the cloud couldn't help but shake her head. She felt that the captain must have experienced very few water battles in person, so she made such a mistake.
This is like an aircraft carrier going out without a frigate. If it encounters a submarine close to it, it will be difficult to deal with it.
The large ships were afraid of each other and could not use the giant crossbows and cannons on board. The sporadic rain of arrows was not enough to kill the pirates hiding underwater and on the bottom of the ship. Everyone was at a loss. Some officers even thought about letting the soldiers jump into the water and fight with the pirates. Otherwise, after a long time, the pirates would eventually drill through the bottom of the ship.
Fortunately, some local sorcerers and practitioners who were traveling with him had lived by the water for a long time and had some experience in naval battles. At their suggestion, the captain gathered the sorcerers on the ship to cast a spell. Undercurrents formed underwater and continued to expand, forming whirlpools that dragged the enemies into the water. The ship's size meant that even if it tilted, it would not sink into the water.
This solved the problem. Many pirates began to swim hard in the river in an attempt to escape from the whirlpool. However, they were forced to surface and were shot by arrows. For a while, a lot of blood and corpses appeared in the water.
Just as the situation was about to reverse, one of the large ships creaked in the whirlpool and surprised cries came from it.
"The bottom of the boat is leaking, it can't hold up anymore, run~"
The river water rushed into the cabin with a roar, and the cabin was covered with mud and sand. There were sounds of running everywhere. The soldiers and boatmen on the boat jumped overboard one after another in an attempt to leave the sinking ship.
In order to avoid getting their own people dragged into the whirlpool, the warlocks who had cast spells before had to reduce their power, which also allowed many pirates to catch their breath.
Just as everyone was paying attention to this disastrous battle, a small boat quietly sailed out in the chaos and approached the big ship. Then there was a loud bang, and the small boat exploded, spilling a large amount of kerosene. The blue-red flames quickly spread on the water, burning all the large and small boats on the river, as well as the members of both parties who fell into the water.
"Fuck you, Li Liangcheng, you beast, you deserve to die. You actually used this to deal with your brothers."
Before the officers and soldiers on the ship could figure out what was going on, they heard the pirates' shouting and cursing in the river. It seemed that someone was fighting against the suppressing fleet and disregarded the lives of his teammates in the water.
Amidst such outcry, a treacherous and ferocious man emerged from the reeds, strewn with ash and rags. He held a short harpoon in one hand and a shield in the other. Behind him followed sixty or so skilled pirates. These men appeared to be at Sequence 2 or higher, wearing a variety of armor, seemingly pieced together from various sources. Some wore only armor around their waists, others only one shoulder, and still others wore only a helmet.
Although it looks shabby, it is still better than those people who went into the water before. After all, it can at least prevent some loss.
Of the ten large ships of Qingzhizhou, seven are now engulfed in flames. Although they haven't sunk yet, time is running out. With such a huge advantage against these pirates, if they win, it's fine. However, if they lose one or two large ships, the captain's achievements will be in vain, and it will be difficult for him to be promoted in the future.
At this time, he finally couldn't sit still anymore.
The man, wearing his black armor and holding a long halberd, jumped from the bow of the ship, rose and fell several times in the air, and using the big ship on the river to attack the bandit leader who was buried in the reeds.
It seems that he has no hope of solving the problem with his soldiers.
The lieutenants on the ship commanded the ship to reverse, away from the sea of fire in the waters, and then asked the warlocks on the ship to cast spells, trying to create as much water waves as possible to help propel the ship and cool the deck.
On the shore, the captain fell from a high altitude, carrying a violent wave of air. He raised the single-moon long spear in his hand high up, and then chopped it down fiercely.
Although the pirates on the shore saw him approaching and were on guard, many of them were unable to react in such a short period of time and were torn apart by the crescent-shaped blade, bleeding on the spot.
They were originally a group of bandits who robbed people by the water, so naturally they did not have much fighting spirit and courage. Seeing such a terrifying general, many of the previously arrogant bandits were frightened and their legs went limp, crying and shouting as they fled. Only the bandit leader named Li Liangcheng remained calm and even had a hint of excitement.
"You are usually a high-ranking captain, yet now you've abandoned your army and jumped into my reeds to fight me. Are you truly invincible, or do you look down on a man like me who lives on the edge of a knife?"
He smiled ferociously, then strode forward with a shield and a harpoon. As he walked, the black hair and fat on his chest rippled, and the surging brute force came towards him, like the evil of ancient times, which was frightening. This man also had the strength of the fifth level of Xuanshui, and was not weaker than this captain.
Facing the arrogant bandit leader, the captain remained silent and cold. After landing, he clasped his halberd in his hand, his body sank slightly, and a calm aura like a mountain elephant burst out. He was no longer as weak as he was when he was commanding on the water.
It seems that this captain was promoted based on his achievements in land warfare in the past, and this time he simply encountered an area that he was not good at.
The two men approached each other quickly, and when they were about to collide, the bandit leader suddenly stomped his foot, stopped walking, then stepped forward with a shield in one hand, blocking in front of him.
The sharp halberd swung into the air in a crescent arc of light and fell down in an instant. The iron shield cracked and fragments flew everywhere. Some of them even cut small wounds on Li Liangcheng's arm, but the pirate was waiting for this moment. Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's shield was broken, he grabbed the opponent's pole handle with his left hand and held it with one hand, while the other hand, which was originally holding the harpoon, took out the white powder that had been prepared in his arms and sprinkled it on the opponent.
