Chapter 472: Combination of slap shots
Now, according to Yelu Haiqi's judgment, the ships of both sides should be separated by a distance, but they can make all the three ships surrounding them burn and catch fire. Then there is only one possibility, that is, the other party uses rockets, and only when there are crossbow arrows to suppress them for long-range times can no one on the three ships dare to put out the fire, or greatly block the fire, which is why it is like this now.
In fact, what Yelu Haiqi guessed was very close to the facts. The reason why he was like Jingzhe was to speed up and catch up was not only to see what the specific situation was like before, if this side was damaged a lot, take advantage of the current fire that has not affected the entire ship, and see if he could save the remaining people.
Another thing Yelu Haiqi wants to confirm. If the three ships in front, especially the one where Yelu Pu is located, if there are heavy casualties and even the entire army has been wiped out, then Yelu Haiqi will immediately take Yelu Junmao to go as far as he can and return directly to Liao Kingdom. It is not too late to avenge the matter of revenge. First, ensure your life safety and then think about everything that follows.
Because Wu Chengye and the others fled to the stern of the boat and chopped the wooden boards, they first discovered the two ships that were getting closer and closer behind them. Their discouraged mood was slightly relieved, and they cheered up and said, "Brothers, the gang leader and the others are here, we are all saved!"
Everyone turned their heads to look after hearing this, and found two small highlights behind. If the moonlight was still shining brightly, it would be clear that this distance could be seen clearly. However, now the dark clouds in the night sky have caused the river to be dark. It can only be judged by the occasional lightning strike and the two lights in the dark that these two ships should be the ships of the leader of the Jing and the two deputy leaders who were left behind by them before.
If you are sailing at night, you will light a few lights around the boat, fearing that in the dark, other boats will also be sailing at night. If you accidentally bump into it, it will be the end of the ship being destroyed and the people being killed.
Everyone cheered in unison, even if the other four ships heard it, everyone looked in their direction together, not knowing what happened, but the people on the two ships Gemi and Yelupu also saw a mile behind.
The two light spots at the place.
When they saw this situation and combined with the cheers on Wu Chengye and their ship, they could guess that the two ships behind them had finally arrived. Now, as long as they can continue to survive, from the time point of view, they will definitely be able to hold on until the two ships behind them come so that they can be saved. Everyone on these two ships, like the people on Wu Chengye's ship, also made hysterical cheers.
This kind of ups and downs of life, from despair to surprise, and then slowly eroded from surprise, turning into anxiety and anxiety. Now, it has given them great hope, which has kept their emotions in violent fluctuations. Therefore, under such circumstances, they will cheer one by one and vent their negative emotions in their hearts.
As for Yun Qing, Liu Baiqing and Mu Hong, they looked at each other. They had not figured out what the situation was and why the other party cheered in unison when they were so passive. Yun Qing suddenly had an inspiration in his mind, guessing that it might be that the other two remaining ships had arrived.
Anyway, the other party was afraid to come out at all. And the canvas on the front half of the deck of the ship they were facing now had completely lit up and caught fire. The flames were very high and there was thick smoke. I couldn't see clearly what was going on behind it. So Yun Qing quickly ran from the stern to the pole with the canvas hanging in front, climbed up on it, took out the Thousand Mile Divine Mirror to watch, and then slid down quickly.
"Commander Yun, what's the matter?" Mu Hong and Liu Baiqing also followed Yun Qing's runway in front. Knowing that Yun Qing must have discovered something, he asked.
"The two ships behind them are approaching. If my prediction is correct, they should be Jingzhe, Liu Junmao, and Wang Haiqi. I just don't know if there are many people on their two ships, so I'm afraid they will be far more than these three."
"What are you afraid of! With our wooden arrows and rockets here, you can kill as much as you come! I don't believe they will have thousands of people!" Mu Hong said gritting his teeth. It was these three of them who caused him so miserable. Now that he came to his door when he had the advantage, he was eager for them to come over and must shoot them hard at that time.
"When they come, then all the people on these three ships will be saved. Originally, they were either burned to death or forced to jump into the river, which would be very dangerous. If the two ships coming from behind rescue all the people on the three ships, the number of people would be several times higher than ours." Yun Qing shook his head and said with some concern.
"But, we didn't make more than a thousand wooden arrows. We shot less than three hundred of them before, which should be enough. Before they approached us, if we had a faster loading speed, we could shoot several rounds, and we could kill more than two hundred people." Mu Hong didn't understand why Yun Qing suddenly began to worry that the number of people between the two sides was too large.
Yun Qing knew that Mu Hong didn't expect it to be on the point, so he explained: "The distance between our crossbow arrows is only 100 steps at most. They can fix the sails at 150 steps and approach us at full speed. Then their people hide and do not appear on the deck. They either hide in the cabin or hide behind the railings on the deck, so that our arrows can't shoot them at all."
Yunqing kicked the railing with his feet and continued, "If they wait until the two ships are leaning against each other before they stand up and rush up to kill us, what can we do? Even if we can kill, we can't kill more than 70 of them, hundreds of them."
Yun Qing smiled bitterly and looked depressed. It would be great if it didn't rain. "And you look at the weather, you will probably have a heavy rain and thunderstorm soon after. In the heavy rain, we use wooden arrows, and they will be greatly affected in terms of range or accuracy."
"We can shoot sails with rockets..." Mu Hong said halfway and stopped talking. He also realized that if it really rained, it would inevitably wet the sails. On the wet canvas, no matter how strong you burn, you have to burn the water in the canvas before it can burn.
Especially for this large area of soaked canvas, the oil cloth on those rockets is like a spark of stars and is completely useless for large canvas.
