Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 230: : pm, you use your heart, he uses his strength, she uses her strategy
Yang Yuan jumped up and saw the spear coming towards him, so he used the bucket lid in his hand to block it.

The three spears that stabbed at him first did not have time to disperse and were stuck on the barrel lid.

Yang Yuan took advantage of the powerful thrust generated by the three spears stabbing the barrel lid, pushed it forward actively, and then flipped outward when he let go.

The other two spears stabbed at this moment, but one of them missed, and the other stabbed past his shoulder at the moment his body turned outward.

Yang Yuan flipped over the high gangway, and when his momentum of jumping up was gone, he fell down.

It was too high here, Leng Yuchan couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

On the deck, several Arab warriors saw an opportunity and immediately rushed towards the direction where he fell, waving their scimitars, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity he had just fallen to surround and annihilate him.

But at this moment, Yang Yuan suddenly swung the sword in his hand.

"Crack!"

Yang Yuan swung his sword with all his might and cut a rope as thick as a baby's arm hanging outside the third-floor ship's side.

As the broken cable fell downwards, he caught it in his hand and quickly wrapped it around his arm twice.

Yang Yuan used his weight and the force of falling to accelerate the fall of the rope.

When the rope fell to the lowest point, several Arab warriors who had rushed over from the deck jumped up and swung their swords, just barely touching the soles of Yang Yuan's boots.

Yang Yuan straightened his waist and swung the rope forward.

"call!"

When the rope swung to the end and was almost level with the side of the ship, Yang Yuan suddenly released the rope.

His body swung up nearly ten feet into the air, and then fell into the side of the ship.

The Jin and Song people who were going up and down the gangway had their hearts rising and falling with him, and it was not until this moment that they suddenly cheered.

Yang Yuan landed steadily on the top deck, and without stopping for a moment, he rushed towards the Arab warriors at the gangway with his sword drawn.

Yang Yuan took advantage of their confusion as they hastily turned towards him and charged into their midst without waiting for them to form an attack formation.

Yang Yuan ran into a group of spearmen and immediately raised his sword to chop them, killing them in chaos.

The warriors from the Song and Jin countries, who had been stuck at the top of the gangway but had been unable to make any progress, took advantage of the fact that the spear formation on the top deck had become scattered and charged forward fearlessly.

After paying the price of the deaths of three warriors, the group of people armed with swords crashed into the spear formation.

The Arab warriors were unable to distance themselves from the fight, and the advantage of their spears became a disadvantage in such a close hand-to-hand fight, which turned into a one-sided massacre.
"Hurry, hurry, help the master get into the cabin."

The Arab warriors did not expect that their prey could actually make it to the top cabin. Fearing that Pu Yama would be in danger, they immediately surrounded Pu Yama and rushed to the cabin closest to them.

Although Wadiye is over sixty years old, he is younger than Pu Yama and more agile.

Seeing this, Wadiye immediately rushed over with more than a dozen of his guards, forced his way through a group of Arab warriors, and rushed into the cabin first.

The sturdy cabin door made of erythrina wood was immediately closed tightly after Pu Yama and Wadiye entered.

The Arab warriors outside immediately turned around with swords in hand and protected the outside of the cabin.

This cabin is where those Persian beauties are housed.

Although this large cabin was spacious, it was empty inside, with some bedding scattered on the floor.

The fight on the ship had already alarmed the women in the cabin. When they saw Pu Yama and Wadiye being escorted into the cabin by a group of panicked warriors, they huddled against the cabin wall in panic, not daring to move forward.

Pu Yama didn't have time to pay attention to them, and shouted angrily: "Kill them all, kill them all!
There are only a few of them, how could they rush here, trash! All of them are trash! And where is my son, Wangquan? Send someone to rescue him!"

At this time, Pu Yama did not know that his most precious youngest son had been killed by Yang Yuan, and he was still worried about his son's safety.

The blonde girl who was quietly sticking to the corner suddenly raised her head, then quickly lowered it.

But the moment she raised her head, a strange light suddenly flashed in her lake blue eyes.

When she heard the commotion outside just now, she knew something was wrong.

However, she was not sure what had happened outside, and she thought that Pu Yama had taken action against Wadiye in advance.

But looking at the current situation, Pu Yama and Wadiye are both in the cabin, each with more than a dozen warriors, and they all look frightened, so...

There is a third force outside, and is this force very powerful?

They actually forced the ship owner Pu Yama into the cabin!
Will this...be my chance?

The blonde girl's heart suddenly began beating violently.

She felt that the Lord must have heard her sincere prayers and gave her an opportunity.

……

Luo Tingxia's three large ships were the first to arrive at the place where the smoke was rising because they were sailing with the wind.

From a distance, Luo Tingxia's lookout saw the large fleet on the sea ahead.

There are a total of seven large ships and more than ten small and medium-sized ships. The seven large ships are the core, and the small and medium-sized ships are clustered around them.

The distance between each ship was about thirty feet, and the entire fleet was scattered over the sea area of ​​several miles in radius.

A thick smoke was rising from the tallest and largest of the seven large sea ships.

The smoke gushed out in a rush, just like the large steam ships of later generations when they had just started burning their coal boilers and were preparing to set sail.

Since the fire was started in the poorly ventilated and densely packed lower hold, and there was a group of Arabs on the lower deck trying hard to pour water to put out the fire, the smoke was even thicker.

Several large ships around were approaching the smoking ship, as if they wanted to rescue it.

Due to the impact of power on maneuverability of ships of this era, they needed to constantly adjust the sails and use the wind to allow the ship to move closer between advancing and retreating.

Only when you are close enough can you use other tools to connect the boats, and this takes some time.

Small and medium-sized ships around have dropped anchor.

This sea area is considered deep sea for many offshore flat-bottomed boats, but their ships can still drop anchor there.

The anchor was lowered and the sail was dropped, so that we could stay firmly in place and wait for the rescue to be completed before we could set off together.

The lookout in the mast bucket of the Baizhiwan pointed forward and shouted frantically: "Master Luo, that's a foreign ship! That's the foreign ship we're looking for!
I saw the pattern on the sail! The big ship on fire belongs to the Pu family, the Pu family's "Bailekai".

"what?"

Luo Tingxia was shocked when he heard this.

Deputy Director Yang and Leng Zuoya led thirty officers and soldiers, posing as escorts of the Shishan Tea Plantation, on the "Bai Le Kai" of Pu Ya Ma.

At this time, the Pu family's fleet did not appear in the designated waters, but anchored here, and there was thick smoke and a big fire on the "Balekai".

There must have been a major change in the plan!
Luo Tingxia's figure suddenly shook, and the deputy general's eyes blurred. He saw Luo Tingxia walking on flat ground. Without seeing how he climbed, he had already reached the high eaves pole and stood in the hanging bucket.

The space in the bucket was limited, and the lookout was squeezed so that half of his body was leaning outside the bucket.

Luo Tingxia stood on a high place, observed the situation on the sea ahead, pointed his hand forward, and shouted: "Go at full speed, get close to the 'Balekai', hurry, ram it!"

When the deputy general heard this, he knew that something might have gone wrong with the Privy Council's actions.

The deputy commander did not dare to delay and immediately ordered the warship to ram the ship and ordered all soldiers to prepare for boarding. The "hook" and "gangplank" were quickly moved onto the deck.

There were about 170 soldiers on his ship. When the whistle sounded, these soldiers ran out of the cabin one by one, each with a sword on his ribs and a bow and arrow or a musket in his hand.

Several kerosene tanks were also slowly pushed out by the soldiers and began to be filled with kerosene.

The flag bearer on the ship promptly sent flag signals to the two ships behind, and the two large ships also began the same battle preparations.

At the same time, the two large ships and Luo Tingxia's main ship formed a V-shape and rushed forward at the same speed.

When their three large ships approached, the small and medium-sized merchant ships outside the Pu family fleet had already discovered their presence.

However, after seeing the patterns on the sails clearly, the people of the Pu family fleet recognized that they were from the Japanese fleet and felt relieved.

They believed that the Japanese merchant ships came to rescue after seeing the thick smoke.

However, when the Japanese see that they are a whole fleet with enough ships outside, they will understand that they do not need rescue from outsiders and will leave tactfully.

But they didn't expect that the three Japanese merchant ships would rush straight towards them.

The direction from which the three Japanese ships were heading was right upwind, and their sails were riding on the strong wind, so their speed was getting faster and faster.

The small and medium-sized merchant ships of the Pu family fleet panicked, and the sailors on the ships shouted frantically: "Weigh the anchor! Weigh the anchor quickly! Raise the sails, hide, quickly! Prepare to fight back!"

The Arab merchant ship was in a panic, and a group of sailors crowded around the winch, struggling to pull up the anchor.

Another group of sailors hurried to raise the sails, while other sailors ran on the deck, preparing rockets to defend against the enemy.

“Ka La La…”

The "Baizhi" rammed into a small Arab merchant ship that had just raised its sails and dragged its anchor halfway when it was crushed by the "Baizhi".

To be precise, the ram on the "Baizhi" did not hit it because it was too small compared to the "Baizhi".

It was completely crushed by the "Baizhi" ship which was powered by the wind.

When the big ship passed by, it was like a giant whale passing by. The small merchant ship was immediately torn into pieces and turned into a pile of broken sampans on the sea.

Immediately afterwards, the "Baizhi" hit a medium-sized merchant ship, knocking a large hole in its side, and seawater gushed in.

But the "Baizhi" was also stopped because of this.

The two small merchant ships on the left and right hurriedly raised their sails, and before the anchors were even dragged onto the deck, they hurriedly adjusted their direction and approached the "Baizhi".

In the era of cold weapons, large and small ships each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Large ships carry more soldiers, have more means of attack, and their attacks are more intensive.

Small boats, on the other hand, are highly flexible and can take advantage of the large ship's stern to move quickly, avoid intensive attacks, and attack the opponent's weak points in defense.

Therefore, the navy's warships of this era were usually much smaller than large merchant ships, because this gave them greater combat advantages.

But the situation at this time was that the two small ships approaching the "Baizhi" were merchant ships, and they did not have much room for maneuver.

Because the other two large "Japanese" ships, at the risk of colliding with each other, closed the distance between them and the "Baizhi" to less than 15 meters.

After the "Baizhi" almost broke the keel of a Arab merchant ship but was forced to stop, the two "Japanese" ships became shoulder to shoulder with the "Baizhi".

As a result, the two small Arab merchant ships suffered the same fate as the ship that had just been turned into a sampan.

The surroundings were approaching rapidly, and they wanted to use their mobile combat capabilities and wolf pack tactics to kill several small merchant ships of the "Baizhi", and then flee in panic.

However, several medium-sized merchant ships nearby took advantage of the hysteresis of these small merchant ships, raised their sails and weighed anchor, and deployed an attack formation against the three "Japanese" merchant ships.

……

"I pray devoutly in the name of the Lord. I swear to serve the Lord with my life and sword, and to fight for the Lord until death. Please bless me, so that I can defeat the enemy and be bathed in the glory of the Lord again!"

After a short prayer, the blonde girl who was standing against the cabin wall suddenly rushed out like a rabbit.

Her two slender fingers pierced sharply into the eyes of a guard next to Wadiye.

When the guard screamed, let go of the scimitar and covered his face with his hands, she bent down and caught the falling scimitar.

Then, the blonde girl did a "shoulder roll" and rolled over the other two guards who were caught off guard. Her scimitar drew an arc of light and slashed towards Wadiye.

"Ah~~"

Wadiye screamed, his ankle was almost cut off. He staggered a few steps and almost fell. Fortunately, he was supported by two guards in time.

This sudden change caused the two groups of warriors, who were on high alert and observing the situation outside the cabin, to look at the blonde girl in surprise.

The blonde girl succeeded in one blow and immediately jumped up. She slashed with two more blows, injuring two guards who were caught off guard.

When the other guards attacked with their swords drawn, she quickly retreated and moved next to Pu Yama's team.

She held the knife in both hands and shouted to Pu Yama anxiously: "Master, an accident has happened. We can no longer swallow Wadiye halfway as planned. It is better to kill them now!"

"what?"

Wadiye and his guards were suddenly shocked. The guards who were about to rush towards the blonde girl immediately took two steps back and looked at Pu Yama's men vigilantly.

Pu Yama's personal bodyguard knew the details of Pu Yama's plan.

Therefore, they were not surprised by what the blonde girl said.

What surprised them was that this Frankish beauty, who had always been regarded as a treasure by her master, had actually become her master's confidant?
Therefore, instead of attacking the blonde girl, they pointed their knives towards Wadiye.

Their expressions and reactions naturally caught the attention of Wadiye and his guards.

How come Wadiye and his guards still didn't believe what the blonde girl said?
Pu Ya Ma, this greedy poisonous snake, actually wanted to swallow them!

Wadiye's warriors immediately pointed their swords at Pu Yama and his guards.

Pu Yama, who was always insidious and cunning, was confused for a moment by the blonde girl's actions, and then he understood.

Pu Yama couldn't help but laugh in anger. Even a good horse can stumble. I, old Pu Yama, was actually tricked by a woman!

The blonde girl pointed a knife at Wadiye and shouted, "I've already injured four of them. They are no match for us. Master, take action!"

Pu Yama was so angry that his teeth were itching!
This cunning woman, by cleverly playing on their reactions, has proven the truth of her words.

It's impossible to hide it from that old fox Wadiye anymore.

In order to get off his ship safely, Wadiye will definitely try every means to capture and control him.

In this case, even if he knew he had fallen into a trap, he could only "act according to the plan."

Doesn’t this woman just want to escape?

The ocean is vast, where can you escape to?
My ship will be here soon, my reinforcements will come in an endless stream, and the commotion on the ship will soon die down.

Until then...

Pu Yama stared at the blonde girl coldly with his venomous snake-like eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Go ahead, kill them all!"
