Chapter 312 Shark
On the main ship of the imperial fleet, the deputy commander stood at the bow, holding a monocular, carefully observing the pirate fleet, his face full of surprise: "A mere few thousand pirates have the courage to face our 30,000 troops. They are really brave."
Li Yuanhong beside him nodded slightly, a hint of admiration in his eyes: "These pirates have been rampant on the sea for many years and are indeed quite brave. However, they can't escape today even if they have wings."
As the distance between the two sides continued to shorten, the sails rustled in the sea breeze.
Seeing that Li Yuanhong showed no intention of stopping the ship, He Weifeng hurried forward and anxiously warned, "Master Li, the ship can't go any further. If it goes any further, it will be within the range of the enemy's crossbows."
Li Yuanhong's expression was stern, and he decisively ordered: "Stop, put up shields!"
The command quickly spread throughout the fleet, and the officers and soldiers on the deck were well-trained and took quick action.
They moved in unison, took out their shields in an instant, and lined up tightly together to protect the entire fleet tightly, like a mobile steel fortress.
After making defensive preparations, Li Yuanhong gave another order with a determined look: "Keep moving forward, and shoot as soon as you are within range!"
The war drums sounded so deafening that it seemed to break the waves of the sea.
A moment later, both sides came into firing range. The imperial fleet took the lead, firing thousands of arrows at the pirate fleet like a swarm of locusts.
The pirates were not willing to be outdone and they drew their bows and arrows to fight back.
For a moment, arrows rained down on the sea, shouts of killing shook the sky, and the war officially began.
The large ships of both sides were shaking violently in the waves, firing arrows frantically.
However, since both sides had made sufficient preparations in advance, there were not serious casualties in the first round of confrontation.
As the rain of arrows stopped, the pirates were horrified to find that their ship had been surrounded by the imperial fleet.
More than fifty large imperial ships surrounded the twenty or so pirate ships like hungry wolves, forming an airtight encirclement that completely trapped them.
"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!" The leader of the Shark Gang turned pale and roared in despair.
But now, everything is too late. They are in a desperate situation. A life-and-death battle is inevitable.
When the pirates recovered from the shock of being surrounded, they found themselves in a desperate situation, surrounded by the imperial fleet and with no way to escape.
At this moment, the sea breeze became stronger and stronger, and the waves hit the side of the ship, making a dull sound, as if they were also sighing for their fate.
"Don't panic!" The leader of the Hawkeye Gang suddenly shouted. His voice was still clear and powerful in the howling sea breeze, and it was like a loud bell that hurt everyone's eardrums.
He frowned, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, his brain working rapidly. Years of experience in naval battles made him calm down quickly, and he had a plan in mind.
"When the opportunity arises, we will destroy their big ship. Once these landlubbers get into the water, we won't be a threat to them anymore." He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, his eyes revealing a fierceness and determination.
When the pirates of the Shark Gang heard this, they all nodded, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in their eyes. They have been making a living on the sea for many years and are excellent swimmers. In the sea, they are as free as dragons.
As the large ships of both sides gradually approached each other in the waves, the pirates of the Shark Gang slipped into the water silently, and swam towards the He family's ship as agilely as fish.
Their goal was clear: as long as they could destroy the bottom of the He family's ship, causing it to leak and sink, the situation in the naval battle would be reversed.
On the He family's big ship, Chen Shuo stood at the bow, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, taking in every move of the pirates.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer, and he thought to himself, "Just as I expected."
He had long expected that the pirates would use this trick. In this vast ocean, there are only a few tactics for naval battles. How could he not be prepared?
He winked at the master behind him, his eyes full of determination and confidence.
The lawyer understood what he meant and ran onto the deck as quickly as the wind.
After a while, several strong men hurried over carrying a huge package.
The package looked very heavy and was tightly tied with thick hemp rope. It swayed slightly with the footsteps of the strong men.
With a loud "bang", the package was thrown heavily into the sea, splashing huge water.
This scene was seen clearly by the pirates on the opposite side. They were stunned at first, with confusion written all over their faces. They whispered to each other, wondering what the He family was up to.
The face of the Hawkeye Gang leader turned pale in an instant, his eyes widened, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and he shouted in disbelief: "Come back quickly, there is shark blood in the sea!" His voice was full of fear and despair, echoing on the sea.
"What? Drawing shark blood?" The leader of the Shark Gang was stunned when he heard this, and then he quickly looked over.
I saw streams of red potion gushing out of the originally light blue sea water, like blood, quickly dyeing the surrounding sea water red.
This strange scene made the pirates feel creepy, and an ominous premonition came to their minds.
The shark leader was stamping his feet anxiously on the deck, veins popping out on his forehead. He yelled at the top of his lungs, "Come back quickly! It's dangerous! Get out of the water!"
His voice became hoarse with anxiety, but in the chaotic battlefield, his shouts seemed so weak.
When the pirates in the water heard the shouts, they turned around and swam back in fear. Their movements were panic-stricken and rapid, splashing large amounts of water.
However, more terrifying things are yet to come.
Suddenly, a shrill scream pierced the sky.
"Run, there are sharks in the sea!" The pirates on the deck shouted in panic, their voices filled with fear and despair.
"The shark is coming, run, run!"
"Ahhh...help!"
"Boss, save me!"
……
The pirates were instantly in chaos, like ants on a hot pan. They could only watch as the Shark Gang members were besieged by a group of sharks. Those sharks were like demons from hell, with their bloody mouths wide open, sharp teeth showing, biting the pirates madly.
Blood was surging on the sea, and broken limbs were floating in it. The scene was extremely bloody and terrifying.
A huge shark leaped high and swallowed a pirate whole into its mouth, leaving only half of his leg outside. As the shark dived in, the half leg quickly disappeared in the blood-red sea water.
Another pirate paddled desperately, trying to escape from this terrible place, but a shark swam up from behind him and bit his arm. He screamed in pain and struggled desperately, but could not break free from the shark's sharp teeth.
The surrounding pirates were so frightened that some even collapsed in the water and gave up resistance.
On the sea, cries for help, screams, and the sound of waves intertwined together, forming a melody of death.
The pirates of the Shark Gang were trapped in despair in this sudden disaster, and their fate seemed to be gradually coming to an end along with the blood-red sea water.
