Chapter 890

Zheng Qiu looked carefully at the water with thousands of miles' eyes. When he found that a small reed pole was standing and floating on the water, he couldn't help laughing, turned back and waved to Xu Shubao. Xu Shubao has been following Zheng Qiu for many years and is already very familiar with Zheng Qiu's gestures. He immediately ordered the archers to be ready, and a group of sailors with fishing nets were waiting on the side of the ship.

When they saw the reed pole approaching the side of the boat, the sailors immediately spilled the fishing net. Four or five people pulled the rope at the same time. Soon, the water ghost of the northern Soviet army was caught by the fishing net and was still struggling frantically. The archer who had already prepared immediately put the arrow. A moment later, the water ghost in the fishing net was shot into a hedgehog.

The fishing net was only spilled once, because the water ghost of the navy of the black flag army had slipped down from the other side.

On the seemingly calm river, soon some places began to turn into blisters, and then the water turned red.

No one can see the fierce fight under the water, but from the blood constantly turned out, we can guess how tragic it is below. The middle-aged man known as Mr. Xishan on the east bank held his eyes for a while, then his face changed color. He stood up fiercely, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"What's the matter?"

Sun YINGDIAN asked quickly.

Mr. Nishiyama obviously disdained this waste owner, but he covered it up very well. He shook his head slowly and said, "nothing, just lost some fishermen. The navy of the black flag army looks like the Yangtze River navy of the great Sui Dynasty, but isn't this Navy in Luo Tu's hands? Why are you following Fang Xie now?"

Seeing the understatement of Mr. Xishan, sun YINGDIAN didn't take it to heart: "it's common to betray in this world. It's strange to follow Luo Tu today and Fang Xie tomorrow. If I'm stronger than the black flag army, the navy may come to take refuge in me tomorrow."

After hearing these words, Mr. Xishan looked back at sun YINGDIAN, with some profound meaning in his eyes.

"Blow the horn and let the boat lean over. Our boat is small but large in number. Let the sailors climb up the big boat and stop the archers from shooting arrows here!"

Mr. Nishiyama gave an order, and hundreds of small boats that had been ready to dock on the east bank immediately rowed out.

The battle between underwater water ghosts ended soon. Although the fishermen of the northern Soviet army were good at water, their skills in fighting under sleep were far inferior to those of the Navy. They didn't spend more than ten minutes from the beginning to the end. Hundreds of bodies floated on the water and floated south with the river.

Look at the costumes of those people. Most of them are fishermen.

The water ghost of the Navy had almost no loss, which was of great significance to the improvement of morale. The sailors on the ship immediately burst into cheers.

The people watching the battle on the shore didn't know what happened, because they couldn't see clearly from a distance, but when they heard the cheers from the navy of the black flag army, they cheered.

"What happened?"

The people behind asked eagerly for fear that they would miss any good play.

"I don't know!"

The people who roared in front shook their heads: "don't worry about him. Anyway, the people on our side cheered again. They must have won for a while!"

The people behind nodded and shouted.

Hundreds of small boats quickly approached the big ship. In front of them were soldiers with huge shields. Their task was to block the feather arrows spilled from the big ship for the soldiers behind. There were no archers on the small boats of the northern Soviet army. They were all selected soldiers with good martial arts. Their purpose was to board the ship.

When it was about 100 meters away from the ship, the front boat suddenly shook violently. Although the soldiers of the northern Soviet Army on the boat were not dry ducks, Leng Buding was a little unstable by this shaking. At this time, people suddenly appeared in the water, holding the side of the boat in one hand and the ankle of a northern Soviet soldier in the other. The soldier shouted and fell into the water. A moment later, the body with a knife on his neck slowly floated up.

The water ghost of the navy of the black flag army swam back and forth under the boat with a knife, just like a shark waiting for an opportunity to prey. The soldiers of the northern Soviet Army on the boat were so frightened that they were on full alert. Because they want to fight in close combat on a large ship, none of them carry long weapons. They are unable to deal with water ghosts.

Mr. Xishan's face was a little ugly. In a short period of more than ten minutes, at least a dozen Soviet Union soldiers in small boats were overturned and fell into the water. The sleeping black flag army water ghost rushed up like a fierce shark and tore the fallen Soviet Union soldiers apart in a moment.

"Almost. Let the water ghost come back."

Zheng Qiu gave a faint command.

When the horn sounded on the ship, the sound of the horn came to mind, and the calm on the river was restored. It can be seen how well-trained the water ghosts of the black flag army are.

"Catapult!"

Zheng Qiu waved, and the flagman on the mast immediately waved the flag. When the ships saw the flag, they turned the crossbow and adjusted the angle to aim at the small boats.

As soon as the flag of the order was waved, dozens of heavy crossbows fell into the fleet of the northern Soviet army like meteors. The heavy crossbow with fine steel as the front and thin iron as the feather is strong and heavy. Even if the wooden boat is strong, it is difficult to resist. Even if the boat hit by the Heavy Crossbow is not pierced, the hull will shake violently.

A Heavy Crossbow directly smashed the huge shield at the bow of the ship. The remaining power of the crossbow continued to fly back after tearing the heart of the shield hand. The soldiers of the northern Soviet Army standing behind were unlucky next to each other. The Heavy Crossbow suddenly passed through the bodies of four people. The wound caused by the heavy crossbow with thick and thin forearms could not be cured at all. Even if it was not dead at that time, it could not last long.

A series of four soldiers of the northern Soviet Army turned into the water, and the water was immediately dyed red.

"Archer! Shoot!"

When the boat gets close, the generals of each ship don't need to look at the flag on the flagship and command separately. The feather arrow aimed at the boats and shot them. It was as dense as a rainstorm. Although there was a huge shield, many soldiers of the northern Soviet army fell into the water with arrows.

After losing hundreds of people, the small boats of the northern Soviet army finally had a chance to get close to the big ships of the black flag army.

But when they were ready to board the ship with ropes and claws, dozens of centipede speedboats rushed out from behind the ship. Like a monster crawling rapidly on the water, it fiercely crashed into the small boat fleet in Northern Jiangsu.

……

……

Centipede express can carry 50 sailors, and everyone can paddle. But when fighting on the water, half of the trained sailors will participate in the battle, and the other half will operate the oars. On each centipede express, more than 20 soldiers slaughtered the soldiers on the small boats of the northern Soviet army at a medium distance with portable crossbows.

The purpose of the northern Soviet army was only to let the soldiers risk boarding the ship and prevent the black flag army ship from landing, so they didn't bring bows and arrows at all. At this time, they were the living targets of the black flag army sailors. The centipede clipper passed through the fleet of the northern Soviet army, and the crossbow was constantly excited. One by one, the northern Soviet Army soldiers fell down wailing. Some people fell into the water and were soon washed downstream by the river.

The gap in equipment, training and combat experience makes the battle on the water not a battle at all, but a massacre.

"Let the archers line up on the shore!"

Mr. Xishan's face was a little ugly: "we don't know anything about the black flag army. We never knew that the black flag army had such a well-trained Navy. Now we can only wait until the black flag army attacks, and there is no control on the water. Blow the horn and let the boat withdraw!"

The soldiers of the northern Soviet army quickly sounded the horn, and the soldiers on the boat were eager to withdraw immediately. When they heard the signal, they immediately turned the bow of the boat. Where could they have a little courage to fight.

At this moment, Du Dingbei, standing on the bank, looked at him with a cold look in his eyes.

"Beat the drum, attack!"

As the drums sounded, countless centipede clippers pushed out of the shore. The soldiers pushed the boat into the river, then ran down the river and climbed up. Countless centipedes were suddenly carried out from the crowd of soldiers on the shore, as if countless huge centipedes had gone down the river.

"No!"

Mr. Xishan on the other side changed his face this time. He thought the black flag army needed those big boats to cross the river, but he didn't expect that the other party was so cunning. He hid the centipede boat in the crowd on the bank and carried it out when he attacked! As the drums of the black flag army sounded, one centipede boat after another entered the river. The soldiers slid their oars at the same time and rushed towards the east bank like flying close to the water.

At this time, the fleet of the northern Soviet army had not had time to return to the shore. Their ship speed was obviously much slower than the centipede express. Half the distance of the river was soon caught up by the soldiers of the black flag army. Before long, the ships on both sides mixed together.

"What to do! What to do!"

Sun YINGDIAN stood up in a hurry.

"Let the archer shoot!"

Cried Mr. Nishiyama.

"No!"

Sun YINGDIAN shouted, "my people are still there and haven't come back!"

"I can't care so much!"

Mr. Xishan glared at sun YINGDIAN: "let the soldiers of the black flag army stick behind our ship and come back. Once they land, the loss will be much greater than this!"

He ignored sun YINGDIAN and grabbed the flag and waved it. Seeing the order, the archers of the northern Soviet Army on the shore were obviously stunned, but they soon began to shoot arrows at the ships on the river under the command of the general.

Du Dingbei sat on the bow of a centipede express. When he saw that the archer over there had put his arrow, he immediately turned back and shouted, "get down! Ignore it! Just rush forward and row harder!"

Feather arrows were shot like an avalanche, and many soldiers were hit by arrows. Du Dingbei held up a shield to block his half body and looked at how far away he was from the shore from time to time. At this time, he had forgotten his tension and fear, and all his attention was on the enemy on the other side.

"Remember!"

He turned back and shouted, "don't rush forward when you get ashore, and kill a landing space for the follow-up team!"

……

……

Fang Xie looked at the war with a thousand li's eyes and nodded: "it's regular and basically done what can be done. It's something new to attract the enemy's attention with a large ship and cross the river with a centipede speedboat to mix with the enemy's routed soldiers."

Wu Yidao nodded: "it's really some surprise. Zheng Qiu almost attracted the attention of the other side. The enemy's arrow array was almost set up to guard against big ships. It's a little late to see the centipede express ship go into the water and rearrange the arrow array, which minimizes the loss of crossing the river. The boy can use it."

On the river, Zheng Qiu saw that the team led by Du Dingbei had rushed past, and commanded the ship to lean towards the east bank.

"Don't feel sorry for the feather arrow. Shoot the arrow pot to me!"

He drew out his crossbar and pointed forward with a roar. The archers on the ship immediately poured out the feather arrows.

Opposite bank

Mr. Xishan took a look at the black flag warship, which rushed straight towards the shore of the Chinese army. He immediately guessed the enemy's purpose. He turned back and said, "let the 300 heavy armor behind be ready and wait for my order at any time! Once the enemy landed, run them over to me and drive them into the water!"

Just then

In the distance, several cavalry came on horseback with anxious faces.
