Chapter 45 Bloody Battle
While hesitating, the opponent's fleet was gradually approaching, and the distance between the two sides was less than five nautical miles.
"Prepare a small boat for me, I'm going to find out their details!"
"Brother Sheng, it's too dangerous, you can't go!" Xiao Chen was also anxious. .
The other party has malicious intentions. If something happens to Li Sheng, their ship will immediately become leaderless.
The rest of the people also quickly tried to dissuade him and wanted to fight to the death with the pirates led by Zhou Zhihu.
But Li Sheng still hopes to gain a little more life for his side.
"Don't worry, I'm just rowing close to their boat. If something unexpected happens, I will be able to escape immediately."
He is confident that he will escape unscathed when the other party turns against him. So it was well worth the try.
Otherwise, once the war breaks out, no matter whether we can repel the other side, not many people in our ship will survive.
So Li Sheng ignored all opinions and decisively got on the boat and sailed towards the pirate ship in front. He did not stop slowly until he was more than ten feet away from the other ship.
Shouted to the leader on the other side's ship.
Before departure, Li Sheng also hurriedly offered four sticks of incense to Xu Ke to pray for good luck.
After receiving Xu Ke’s response, Li Sheng finally gained some confidence.
Xu Ke looked at the resentment and evil spirits soaring on the ships on the sea, and he was also greedy.
As Li Sheng broke through to the third level, his fierce land was finally promoted and reached the third level some time ago.
If that group of pirates didn't know what to do, he wouldn't mind using his newly awakened abilities to entertain them.
Such a large amount of resentment is the highest quality nutrition for this dangerous place.
However, at this time, the crew members on Li Sheng's ship were not in such a relaxed mood as Xu Ke.
The group of people on the opposite side are pirates who lick blood at the tip of their swords and kill people like crazy.
Ordinary pirates may also pay attention to some pros and cons. If the opponent is fully armed, the pirates will also consider the opponent and will not easily destroy them.
But people like Zhou Zhihu really can’t reason with common sense.
Sure enough, Li Sheng asked to talk to Zhou Zhihu to see if the matter could be resolved in other ways.
As a result, the bearded Zhou Zhihu came forward and made a request directly.
That means everyone on Li Sheng's boat should put down their weapons and jump into the water.
Allowing their people to take over the ship would give them a way out.
Li Sheng is not a three-year-old child. If he really gives up resistance, he will be seeking death.
Unwilling to let the negotiations break down like this, Li Sheng had no choice but to emphasize the strength of his side.
If we start a war rashly, at least a third of Zhou Zhihu’s crew will have to die before they can get rid of their hard bones.
But Zhou Zhihu suddenly sneered:
"If I get that box of sought-after East China Sea Pearls on your ship, no matter how big the loss is, it will be worth it!"
Li Sheng frowned when he heard this, and an ominous feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
Their biggest task during this trip was to transport and store a box of East Sea pearls in the cabin.
That was the cargo entrusted by the large merchant association in the East China Sea to transport for a large sum of money, and it was of extremely high value.
Li Sheng's confidentiality work was extremely thorough beforehand. Even Xiao Chen only knew that there was important cargo, and he didn't ask much about the specific contents.
"No wonder I'm so unlucky to meet Zhou Zhihu here."
It seems that there is a spy in Li Sheng's fleet, so they knew about his route and the precious cargo he transported. .
Thinking of this, Li Sheng also understood that this matter might not be rectified.
If a box of East China Sea beads is lost, there will no longer be a place for them in the entire East China Sea.
So Li Sheng gave up the idea of negotiating directly, and with a pop, the boat dived directly into the sea and swam towards his ship.
When Zhou Zhihu saw Li Sheng escaping, he immediately raised a flag and called several charging boats to capture Li Sheng.
Fortunately, Li Sheng has reached the level of third-level captain, and is as agile as the most agile fish in the water.
In the blink of an eye, he left behind several assault boats behind him and boarded his ship again.
“Start the attack!”
Li Sheng, knowing that he was determined to fight, directly ordered the attack. Two ship crossbows fired crossbow arrows and directly sank an attacking charging boat.
The other assault boats took the opportunity to approach the ship, and the two sides began the boarding operation.
At the same time, the large crab boat on the opposite side also hit Li Sheng's boat at full speed.
The huge horn emitted bursts of black evil light, and it looked like it was not an ordinary thing.
Li Sheng did not engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opposing vanguard like other sailors.
Since he is the captain, he must assume the responsibility of command.
If the command is affected, the power he exerts alone is far from enough to make up for it.
Unless the opponent really gets on the deck, our side will be defeated.
When the time comes, he will pick up the machete and fight to the death with the opponent.
Just when Li Sheng commanded the ship to turn the rudder and engage in a war of attrition and guerrilla warfare with the opponent at sea.
As the first mate, Xiao Chen...should be called Chen Tianfu.
At this time, he has established a prestige in the hearts of the crew that is no less than that of Captain Li Sheng.
The biggest reason is that every time there is a battle, Chen Tianfu will take the lead and always be on the front line of the battle.
Sacrificing life and death, the tragic situation during the battle can even scare the sailors who have just boarded the ship to tears.
Therefore, the most talked about topic among the sailors on the ship was the bravery of the first mate Chen Tianfu in the battle.
This time Chen Tianfu still did not lose face in the battle.
I saw him leaving the other charging crew members far behind, leaping two feet high into the air.
The steel knife in his hand directly took advantage of the situation and chopped off the head of a pirate.
It really boosted the sluggish morale of the crew on board.
The pirates on the opposite side were also madmen who had experienced hundreds of battles. Seeing Chen Tianfu's appearance, they guessed that he was one of the backbone of this ship.
So seven or eight elite pirates who were good at fighting rushed over, preparing to work together to kill Chen Tianfu first, thus defeating the morale of the other side.
Who knew that Chen Tianfu was really determined to make no progress? Apart from wearing an extremely tight and thick helmet on his head, he had no armor at all.
He began to kill the pirates on the opposite side selflessly.
His speed is extremely fast, and he seems to have divine help when dodging.
Even if it was an attack from behind, Chen Tianfu could easily dodge at the last moment.
Moreover, he holds the knife in his left hand, so when he is slashing with others, the opponent rarely encounters people holding weapons with his left hand, so it is naturally very awkward to parry.
But Chen Tianfu's slashing movements never stopped, as if he didn't feel tired at all.
Ordinary people wield a heavy machete and chop dozens of times with all their strength, but their arms will feel sore and weak no matter what, and they will pause for a moment.
But Chen Tianfu started harvesting like a madman, and his arms never stopped from the beginning to the end.
In just a few moments, no less than ten pirates died under his hands.
And what shocked the pirates the most was that one of them had already stabbed Chen Tianfu with a sword.
But he grabbed the long sword with his hand, letting his palm drip with blood, and cut off the opponent's neck with the knife.
Even when the opponent was about to die, he spun the sword and cut off four of his fingers.
Chen Tianfu didn't even frown, he still started to charge with great courage.
In fact, except for Li Sheng, only a handful of crew members knew that he was parasitized by zerg and could allow zerg to replace his body parts.
And he lost his left arm again in the series of battles in the past few years.
But in contrast, his left arm has been completely replaced by zerg, and he has extraordinary terrifying endurance and reaction speed.
It can even hack and kill with a knife without him being distracted.
If his torso were not still human, it would limit his performance.
Otherwise, even Li Sheng might not have the confidence to beat the completely different Chen Tianfu.
