Chapter 766: Fire and (Part 2)
Pan Shan's self-esteem was hit critically.
The bandits from Dongting Lake in the east and west met on their own territory in Nandongting Lake, and then they ignored their master and worked on their own.
However, from the expressions of their brothers, they all looked relieved.
From the time he was so passionate about wanting to break the other party's teeth when he received the news, to now, he has really seen the number of ships and soldiers on both sides. Pan Shan has long lost the slightest desire to fight. If he really came to him, he would be afraid that his entire army would be destroyed in one round.
Well, there may be no battle. As long as the other party shows off this formation and shouts a few times, his subordinates will probably surrender one after another. Even if he doesn't surrender, he will definitely escape with his tail and rely on his familiarity with Nandongting.
What made Pan Shan a little strange is how Zheng Wenchang has such strong strength. Everyone knows that Pang Wen's strength is the best among Dongting, but it is shocking that Zheng Wenchang can actually pull out a team that is comparable to Pang Wen.
"Brother, let's run!" A water bandit came over, "It seems that the two families were not coming to us, but they were going to start working on it themselves. If they don't run away at this time, when will they last?"
Pan Shan spat: "Things that don't have courage."
Where can I run? Pan Shan is not an unknown water bandit, at least he is much more knowledgeable than ordinary people. In the past, he was able to survive was the result of the mutual fear of these two families. If he was caught in the middle, he could avoid direct conflicts. It was said that he was the three major water bandits in Dongting, but he could only be considered a one who made up the numbers.
Now these two companies have broken up. No matter which one wins, they will have their own good next? If they lose the balance, they will naturally lose the stage of getting along with each other.
Maybe these two companies were originally planning to get rid of themselves and then fight each other's trouble, but everyone was in the same mind, but they just bumped into it here.
This is my great blessing.
At least, in a mortal environment, I have a trace of life.
In fact, there is nothing to choose. Only by standing on the side of the winner can you continue to live.
The question is, who is the winner?
Looking at the two huge fleets of ships in the distance, which were rapidly approaching each other, Pan Shan fell into deep thought.
"Brother, both sides have sent sent ships to us!" The bandits beside them shouted.
Two small boats flew towards Panshan on the lake, and almost at the same time, they arrived in front of Panshan's boat.
The two messengers jumped up from their boat and landed steadily on the boat.
"Boss Pan!" The two envoys bowed at the same time and spoke in unison. Then they turned their heads and stared at each other, and everyone present felt the ferocious murderous intent in their eyes.
Pan Shan's eyes rolled around a few times, and finally fell on the face of the envoy Pang Wen. No matter what, Pang Wen was the oldest and most powerful, although it looked a bit mysterious now. "What does Pang Da Zhang mean?"
The envoy Pang Wen glanced at Zheng Wenchang's envoy with pride and said, "Brother Pang said that this is the last opportunity for the Pan family. As long as we assist our leader and defeat Deng Zhe, then in the future, the two families will merge, and the Pan family will be the second leader in Dongting Lake."
Pan Shan smiled and turned to look at Zheng Wenchang's envoy.
"The Zheng Dada Zheng asked me to tell the Pan Dada Zheng that in today's battle, you don't need to interfere. Just stay here and watch how we wipe out Pang Pie. As for the future, we will talk after we kill Pang Pie. I believe that the Pan Dada Zheng will make his own decision soon." The messenger said with his head raised.
Pan Shan was thrilled.
He is not afraid of Pang Wen's threat. The worst result is that he just patted his butt and left. Anyway, he has made a lot of money in recent years and bought real estate on the shore. He will hide his identity in the future. What can Pang Wen do to himself?
But Zheng Wenchang's strong self-confidence infected him. Without confidence, the other party would never say such things. He had dozens of ships and hundreds of brothers were all good men with a good nature. He was a strong force, otherwise Pang Wen would not have sent someone to threaten him to join. However, Zheng Wenchang obviously did not take his own hands in his eyes. Apart from being arrogant, he had absolute strength.
Why not take a look?
Pan Shan bowed with a smile on his face and said, "Brothers, whether it is the head of the Pangda or the head of the Zhengda, they are all dragons in the water. I, Pan, are just a water snake in the small river. I, don't dare to get involved in the struggle between the two, so I can only watch on the side."
"You will regret it!" The envoy Pang Wen was furious and turned around and wanted to leave.
"Stop!" Zheng Wenchang's envoy stopped shouting.
"What do you want to do?"
"Our two families have already started. What can we do when we go back? One wave has been knocked over. Maybe we will compete here. The winner will live and lose to death!" Zheng Wenchang's envoy smiled and pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, pointed the halberd at each other, shouting.
Pan Shan was stunned. This envoy of Zheng Wenchang was too terrible. He actually wanted to fight Pang Wen's envoy on his ship to fight life and death?
"If you want to die, then I will fulfill your wish!" The envoy Pang Wen grinned, pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist with his backhand, and rushed towards the other party. Almost at the same time, the envoy Zheng Wenchang also swung his sword out.
Two strikes hit the opponent at the same time.
Both sides were outlaws, and both sides were betting that the other party would dodge. So they tried their best to stab them in an attempt to take the lead.
But the result is completely different.
With a puff sound, the sword of the envoy Zheng Wenchang easily pierced the other party's chest and abdomen. The sword of the envoy Pang Wen, the tip of the knife, seemed to have encountered some obstacles, and it could not be stabbed anymore.
The envoy Zheng Wenchang laughed and drew his sword, and retreated. The other party's bloody sounded out loud. With a loud bang, the other party knelt on one knee, supported the boat board with a knife before he barely raised his head and looked at Zheng Wenchang's envoy incredibly.
"You rusty bun, open your eyes!" The envoy Zheng Wenchang smiled proudly, pulled open the burqa outside. It couldn't help but be Pang Wen's envoy. Even Pan Shan widened his eyes. Zheng Wenchang's envoy was actually wearing a dark armored stomach. But when he saw the envoy jumping from the small boat onto the big boat, he didn't look like a swallow.
Besides, everyone is a water bandit. It is not uncommon for the boss to have one thing, but the person in front of him is obviously not a leader under Zheng Wenchang, and a soldier also has an armor?
The sword that the messenger Pang Wen used all his strength to pierce the burqa and then left a pit on the black armor, but he himself was stabbed through the stomach by this knife and could not survive.
Pan Shan looked at the battlefield in the distance, and the two sides had already been mixed together. If Zheng Wenchang's command had all the equipment of this guy in front of him, I'm afraid Pang Wen would be finished today.
Unlike the regular navy's vigorous development of long-range strikes, the bandits in Dongting Lake still use the most primitive method of water war, which is to collide and then fight with the side. Some of the most threatening methods are rockets and rockets. For some large ships, some heavy hammers and poles are installed. For slightly larger warships, these methods are far from enough to sink the ship.
Therefore, the water battle here is still mainly hand-to-hand combat.
The number of ships on both sides is similar, and the number of warriors on both sides is similar.
The problem lies in the quality of the soldiers on both sides.
On one side are the water bandits who have been properly trained. When fighting, they have systematic command, cooperation, melee combat, and long-range sniping, in an orderly manner. On the other side, they rely on their bloody courage. As soon as the ships on both sides approached, they thrust and rushed forward.
On one hand, as the main force of melee combat, all of them were wearing armor-piercings tailor-made for sailors that were transported from Wuyi. On the other hand, most of them were shirtless or just wearing a jacket. The best thing was to wear a piece of leather armor on their bodies.
On one side, there are system-based long-range kills, and there are at least twenty to thirty crossbowmen on each large ship. They are distributed everywhere in the ship, holding crossbow arrows and constantly aiming and shooting. On the other side, let alone crossbows, it is difficult to find several pairs of bows and arrows.
If Li Hao saw this water battle, he would definitely despise the primitive man's style of playing, but in fact, this kind of battle is actually more bloody.
The warships of Zheng Wenchang and Pang Wen collided without accident. Before the war started, the two warships sailed in front of all the teams, and then they all went for each other in the intention of capturing the thief first.
The skills of the sailors and helmsmen of the two warships are indeed amazing. In such a high-speed hedging, they can barely pass by at the last moment.
The two ships collided and squeezed each other. The two ships leaned together a moment ago, and then moved away from afar. When the people on the ship were overturning, anchor ropes were still thrown out, tightly connecting the two ships.
"Kill!" Pang Wen stood on the deck wearing heavy armor and shouted loudly.
With his roar, groups of sailors gushed over his ship, waving their swords and guns.
The first one on Zheng Wenchang's ship was rows of crossbowmen.
At least fifty crossbowmen were concentrated on this side.
The sound of crossbow roars continued. At such a close distance, even wearing armor on his body might break, not to mention these shirtless sailors.
