Chapter 957 I will dig the pit, you will jump!(1/2)
The water splash gently slapped the stones beside the dock, making waves of water.
As soon as the moon appeared in the sky, it was blocked by a dark cloud and the entire earth was shrouded in darkness.
The autumn wind blew across the pier, which was a scene of a dark night and a high wind.
"Gugu!Gugu!"
A crisp bird cry came from near the pier, making the night look a little quieter.
"The head of the escort, they really don't want to wait any longer for a day, so they will attack us tonight!"
On the deck, the escort at Shunfeng Escort Agency immediately became energetic and prepared to work after hearing the birds' chirping.
The matter was almost exactly the same as Gu Junfeng's prediction. The escort who arranged to act as a secret whistle near the dock sent a warning for the other party's actions in a timely manner.
"These mobs are fine to fight with the wind, but once they suffer obvious losses, they will collapse immediately. Although we have less than twenty people, each ship has drawn more than thirty sailors to help us carry arrows, and also issued swords and shields to deal with the people of Tianzhu."
Although Gu Junfeng predicted that Ansello would definitely have more people than him, he had no fear in his heart.
He had been in the escort of the Chu Prince's Mansion for several years, followed Li Kuan to deal with the Western Turks and fought against Tuyuhun. Gu Junfeng's combat effectiveness against the Tianzhu people was completely ignored.
When he arrived in Kanchipuram City on the first day, he observed the situation of the Indian soldiers here and found that these people were standing without any standing posture. The hands holding the sword were weak, as if they were eating and waiting for digestion.
There have been no decent wars in the various kingdoms in southern India for many years.
Since everyone's life is pretty good, the people have no sense of striving for the king at all.
If these people were attacking head-on on the battlefield, Gu Junfeng and his team would dare to launch a head-on attack into the other person's 100-man team.
No wonder in history, Wang Xuance borrowed some troops from the Tubo Kingdom and defeated the country, leaving behind the reputation of one man destroying another country.
"They probably thought they were sure to win when they saw that our ship was so quiet. They hadn't figured out the situation yet."
The general is the courage of the soldiers, Gu Junfeng is fearless, and his stintsman is naturally full of confidence.
"I'll tell my brothers not to be polite. These people dare to attack us and want to burn us all on the boat. Then when we take action, we will take action to kill them. It's best to kill all the people who besieged us today at the dock, so that the Indians know that we are not soft persimmons!"
In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the control of powerful crossbows was very strict. Ordinary people could have bows and arrows, swords, but they could not have strong crossbows.
Giant crossbows like bed crossbows are even less allowed to be owned by private individuals.
However, under the influence of the East China Sea fishery, if various crossbows were installed on the ship, the court basically turned a blind eye and would not ask about it.
Like the fishing vessels in the East China Sea, almost every ship is equipped with crossbows.
Whaling ships in Dengzhou and Puluo mid-district are all equipped with large bed crossbows.
These crossbows have been installed for you directly in the shipbuilding workshop, so you don’t have to worry about whether they violate the "Law of the Tang Dynasty".
Although these Gandy's sea ships do not have bed crossbows, each ship is equipped with two consecutive crossbows when going to sea.
Considering some of the hand crossbows that Gu Junfeng carries, the boat can give the enemies on the dock a rain of arrows in the shortest time to clear their minds.
"They seem to be here!"
Although the dock was still pitch black, there were sometimes some slight shouts and collisions between weapons.
Gu Junfeng originally wanted to roughly calculate how many people the other party had come through the sound of footsteps, but he found that he could hardly hear the sound of footsteps.
Only then did I remember that most people in Tianzhu are barefoot and may not have a pair of shoes in their entire lives.
Wearing a natural "meat pad", no wonder there is no sound of footsteps.
However, this did not cause much trouble to Gu Junfeng.
Anyway, no matter whether one or two hundred people come, a few hundred people, or even thousands of people come, he has the confidence to defeat them.
"Gugu!Gugu!"
Gu Junfeng also learned to call birds and notified the people on the two ships next to him that the enemy was coming soon.
This set of communication terms was also spread from the escort of the Chu King's Mansion to the Shunfeng Escort Agency. It has now become a regular communication method for the escorts of the Shunfeng Escort Agency at special moments.
In order to minimize the risk of the three ships being defeated as much as possible, Gu Junfeng took a ship next to the dock to fight, while the other two were slightly away from the dock. Without the help of a small boat, the opponent could not board the ship directly, but the crossbow arrows shot on the ship could easily kill the enemies on the dock, thereby achieving the best defensive effect.
"The head of the archery, they have entered our ambush circle. Should we start to prevent fire?"
As the other party approached, everyone on the boat could vaguely see a large crowd of black people coming towards him on the dock.
Judging from the number of people, it is at least a few hundred people.
Even Gu Junfeng's bodyguard was very confident in his skills, and at this time he couldn't help but feel nervous and swallowed his saliva.
"Don't worry, they burned the Gandi Sugar Shop with fireproofing. Now that they want to catch us all, they will definitely prepare torches to prevent fire from burning the boats. At that time, we will use the torches they threw out to light the turbulent oil on the dock and let them try the taste of playing with fire."
Gu Junfeng took a deep breath and calmed his mind.
Now the other party has no idea that he is ready to fight. If the torch is lit on the boat first, it will be like a beacon in the dark, attracting all the firepower.
At that time, even if the level of those people is poor, even if the arrows fly over, they will inevitably suffer some losses.
On the contrary, if the torch is lit from the other side first, you can see the scene on the dock clearly. It is very beneficial to adjust the attack direction of the crossbow arrow and to exert the lethality of the crossbow arrow as much as possible.
So keep it steady!
...
"Ambani, you were worried that these people had their shop burned last night, so today we would be more alert. We were almost rushing to their boat, and there was no movement on the boat! If you want me to say that you don't need to bring so many people to you to deal with these people, and our hundred people are enough to deal with them."
In the night, Ambani, surrounded by a group of people, quickly walked towards Gandy's cargo ship on the dock with a big knife.
"The master thinks that the Tangren guard beside Gandi seems to be very powerful. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, he arranged more people to go out. This is actually a good thing for everyone."
Ambani naturally knew that these people who took money to do business, and hoped that the fewer people would be able to share the money, the better.
But Ambani must have thought about the problem from the standpoint of the Ansello family. When the money spent is almost the same, the more people they arrange, the safer they will be.
It’s impossible to go there, but it’s a failure, right?
"I heard that there was a monk from the Jie Ri Kingdom in the north a few years ago, and it is said that he came from the Tang Dynasty. Although there are some rumors that the Tang Dynasty is a very powerful country, I think no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to be as strong as us. Otherwise, why would they still learn Buddhist scriptures from those people in the north?"
Kanchipuram is a city that believes in Lord Shiva. Whether it is the people or officials, there are no particularly good senses about Buddhism.
Even for them, Buddhism is still its own enemy.
In other words, in the Tang Dynasty, the people had a special belief. They could believe in Buddhism today, and they could invite Taoist priests to come to their homes to exorcise evil spirits. The day after tomorrow, they would go to the land god at the entrance of the village to worship.
Anyway, when you need God, you will believe in God. It seems that everyone has a lot of faith.
But this is not the case in India or Dashi.
If you, a person who believes in the religion of great cannibalism, dares to sacrifice to Buddha or Shiva, then other believers will come out to deal with you in minutes.
"You are right, but as the poorer and backward places become, those people are not afraid of death. Sometimes they fight. We are very powerful. Anyway, we are all sure to win, so there is no need to take any risks."
Ambani responded without comment.
Because the forward of the team was already dozens of meters away from the ship, he was not in the mood to chat with the accomplices next to him.
"What risks can there be? You see, we are all here, just throw dozens of torches on the boat and stand here to watch the fun!"
"Why does it feel like there is a rosin smell? Well, it's not only rosin, but also some weird smell."
The closer you get to the boat, the more obvious the odor you smell in your nose.
"What's strange about this? Ambani, you must have smelled the rosin on the torch. These torches are the best used by making them with rosin. As long as they are lit, even some wind and rain will not be easily extinguished. It is best for killing and setting fires when the night is dark and windy."
After the man finished speaking, he began to take out the fire note from his arms and began to light the torch.
Soon, people took out fire notes and began to light torches. For a moment, the dock changed from night to day.
The black smoke from the burning of rosin on the torch made Ambani sneeze seven times, and also relieved his slight concern just now.
It seems that these smells are indeed the taste on the torch, and I am too careful.
"Woo!"
Seeing that the people on the dock were about to throw the torches at the ship, Gu Junfeng made a quick decision to shoot arrows at the dock.
The crossbowman who received the instructions immediately released the crossbow that had been loaded with crossbow arrows.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
Although there are not many crossbows, in the dark, they still head towards the enemies on the dock with sparkling arrows.
"ah!"
"Ah! My legs!"
In an instant, the row of people standing in front was like a collapsed wall, and more than a dozen people fell down.
The dock is densely packed with people, and the crossbowmen on the boat hardly need to aim. They can complete the harvest by shooting at the dark crowd.
"puff!"
Before Ambani could react from the sudden attack of crossbow arrows, he found that there was a fire on the dock.
The flames burned from the front of the pier and spread around in an instant.
Ambani's face turned white!
Thinking of the special smell he had just smelled, he immediately realized that Gandy was not without any preparation and was waiting for him to take people to harvest.
They dug a hole on the dock early and waited to take their people into it.
