Chapter 470 Crisis strikes
Now the fire on the ship has reached a situation where even if you want to control it, not only has the towering poles burned off, but it has fallen down and continued to ignite the canvas that had already decreased significantly in the open flames, but the half-stud poles that were still standing are still burning violently.
Wu Chengye wanted to go out and use tools such as brooms to put out the fire, but from his perspective, he could see that half of Yun Qing and others were holding crossbow arrows, waiting for them to go out to put out the fire to kill, and half of them were slowly sorting out the rockets. He watched the other party ignite the oil cloth on the rocket, and then focused on his own.
Then Wu Chengye heard the sound of "bang bang bang". He could hear it as soon as he heard it. The sound of bows and arrows shooting on the outer wall of their cabin. Because the entire ship is made of wood, crossbow arrows can be shot into the wall.
At this time, Wu Chengye thought that every crossbow was tied with burning oil cloth, and the blazing flames on the deck and the poles of the ship caused heat waves to be stirred up from time to time on the ship.
By making the temperature in this space hot, Wu Chengye could naturally judge that if there were only a few rockets shot on the cabin, they would definitely not ignite the wood outside the cabin. But now, even his face felt unbearable and his skin was so hot that it was so hot that the wood outside the cabin could really be ignited by those rockets at such temperature.
Wu Chengye is so depressed that he wants to vomit blood. He is so frustrated. There are so many people, but he is shot and killed more than 40 people because he has the advantage of long-range archery. He also watches him use fire attack to ignite his ship.
The key is that they can't put out the fire, nor do anything, just wait for the fire to become more and more fierce, but others are holding crossbow arrows in their hands and waiting for them to go out to put out the fire. Perhaps now others are eager for them to do this.
But it was not a solution for them to huddle in the cabin. If they waited like this, the entire ship would catch fire, and they would still be unable to escape. As for jumping into the river, they would basically die for a lifetime, and they would not do this until they had to. Because the cabin still leads to the stern, they were not very panicked and could not get out because the fire was too big.
If it really doesn't work, everyone will escape to the stern of the boat and make a decision depending on the situation. However, this is the last choice that I had to make. Thinking of this, Wu Chengye's eyes suddenly lit up and he turned to the people in the cabin and said.
"Everyone hurry up and run to the stern of the boat and pry open the walls and decks behind the cabin for me!" After saying that, he took the lead in walking towards the stern of the cabin.
The rest of the people looked at each other, wondering why Boss Wu suddenly asked them to do this at this time. Could it be that he wanted to use such wooden strips that split or pried open to set off the fire?
Then a man suddenly reacted and exclaimed: "Boss Wu is preparing to jump ship behind him. He has a wooden strip or a board to hold it, and at least it can float on the surface of the river!"
After he said this, everyone reacted and rushed to the back of the cabin in a hurry. The crew members who had previously huddled in the cabin early also reacted and went to find tools, such as kitchen knives, hammers, axes, hammers and other tools. As long as they could use them, they wanted to survive.
As for their ship to be destroyed, it has become unimportant in the face of life and death. Even if they want to protect it with all their hearts, they cannot stop Wu Chengye.
The chopping of the people will not stop the fire and continue to become larger and ignite the entire ship. By then, all the wood will be burned completely, and perhaps only the bottom of the ship can be retained because it is soaked on the water.
Now this steep situation is not just on Wu Chengye's ship, but Ge Mi and Yelu Pu's ships are also facing the dilemma of watching the fire on the ship grow gradually but are incapable. They have also organized personnel to put out the fire once. Except for two people who have quickly reacted and lie down again or crawled to a safe place, the others were shot and killed as living targets.
The two ships were shot to kill because of firefighting, and there were more than a dozen people. When they arrived at the back, even if Liu Baiqing and Mu Hong were on the side, they shot the rockets on the outer wall of the cabin on their side, they were indifferent. Moreover, they had already thought that if the fire was too fierce on the ship, they could only abandon the ship and jump into the river.
Yelu Pu was very desperate about this. If he didn't jump, he would be burned to death or he would be suffocated because the fire in the space was too fierce and he could not breathe. If he jumped, all the Liao people would be landslides, and if he jumped, he would die. For this reason, Yelu Pu tried all kinds of ways, and finally thought of using the wood that was still intact on the ship, chopped it into a door panel or strip, and perhaps he could escape the disaster with the buoyancy of the wood in the water.
Thinking of this, they just do it, and they do it anyway in the cabin. And because they approach Muhong's ship at an angle similar to that of parallel, they slowly approached when they were driving forward in the diagonal thorns, so at this time, one side of them was completely seen by Muhong's ship, even the stern.
So they even ran to the stern like Wu Chengye, but they could only come to the other side of the ship with their backs facing Mu Hong to slash. Gemi had died in large numbers because Gemi and a group of leaders at the beginning. Now the leaderless group is already in chaos. People who are still alive are hiding in the cabin. Those who were seriously injured by crossbow arrows were still lying on the deck. They can't move themselves, and no one is willing to help at this time.
A few of them were hit by the canvas falling from it, and some of them hit him just next to him, but at such a close distance, the temperature was extremely high. Half of their bodies were pressed by the canvas slowly spreading away from the fire. At this time, the canvas on their bodies began to burn, and these people were wailing and burned to death.
In addition to the burning smell of wood and canvas, the air was filled with the special smell of those people being burned, which made everyone in the cabin feel disgusted, and some even retching or vomiting out on the spot. They have now felt deep fear and helplessness.
The situation of having to wait for death slowly made the atmosphere on the scene extremely depressing, and some people even collapsed and cried because they couldn't bear it! They never thought that they would come over and kill people to receive rewards, but now no one has been killed, and even the other person has not boarded the other ship. More than 40 people have died on their side, and the rest have to wait for death slowly.
Such a gap is too big, and the fear and torture of slowly waiting to die has caused some people who are not very determined to collapse directly. Some people can't even hold on if they wait like this, and jumped out of the cabin window into the Yangtze River.
The man's actions scared everyone. The others quickly ran to the window and looked at the man. At this time, they saw him fluttering in the river and swimming, but he seemed very unlucky. There was a small vortex next to him, which sucked him. After slapping twice,
Then he went down, and then after a while the man floated up and wanted to swim up the river bank, but after a while he encountered a small vortex and was swept in again. This time he never floated up again.
Everyone saw it and was even more frightened. Everyone knew that water nature was already good among everyone, but even such a person with good water nature could not escape the end of drowning in the Yangtze River under the wind and waves and undercurrents under the river.
It was inspired by this person that the people on the ship Gemi also thought of chopping the wood on the ship as a life-saving driftwood. Everyone started chopping on the edge of the cabin window on the other side. It was better to start here, and some people used an axe. At this time, they had the advantage. When the axe swung the axe, they cracked a big hole, and the long sword had no such effect. Some even curled the edge of the knife.
"Commander Yun, they dare not show up at all!"
At this time, Liu Baiqing and Mu Hong both came to the stern of the boat with happy expressions and looked for Yun Qing, wanting to ask what to do next.
Because no one appeared in their sight again and they all hid, they naturally would not waste arrows and shoot randomly. After shooting a few arrows with the rockets, they found that the fire on the other side's ship had completely become bigger. As long as there was no one behind to fire water to put out the fire, it would theoretically be unable to be extinguished.
"Yes! The fire has become stronger now. Unless it suddenly rains heavily, with the current fire, even if they come out to put out the fire, we would probably not be able to extinguish it. And we still want them to come out to put out the fire, so that we can shoot a few more people." Mu Hong said with a smile. He has been hunting for people and his son has also been hunted down. Moreover, during those days in Xicheng, it can be said that he was like a dog from a broken family, hiding from all over the place. After a while, he hid in Ba Xuyao's mansion to be better. Dan was also anxious all day long and could not feel at ease.
Now that he saw these people who were chasing him, he was naturally very happy. The anger in his heart finally came out a little. Unfortunately, he knew that Jing Zhe and the two Liao people must not be on these three ships, but were behind to supervise the battle. However, seeing the three ships that had been chasing and planning to encircle them, the people on the ship were either dead or were slowly waiting to die, he still felt that the depression in his heart had finally relieved a little.
But after he finished speaking, the smile on his face had not faded, and even though the crackling sound of wood burning around him could still be heard very clearly.
Yun Qing and Liu Baiqing both looked at Mu Hong with strange eyes. This crow's mouth really came whatever he said!
After a moment of stunned silence, Mu Hong suddenly slapped himself and said hatefully: "My stinky mouth!"
The other three ships, including Yelu Pu, Wu Chengye and others, stopped chopping and looked up at the night sky. At some point, the stars on the moon had already had a thick layer of dark clouds, and it was above them. Judging from the situation, it seemed that it was about to rain!
"Boom!" Another loud thunder sounded, and they had seen a flash of lightning flashing in the clouds before!
"It's saved! Hahahaha!" Almost everyone burst into crazy laughter.
