Chapter 609 Depth Charge

At this time, it would be a good idea to gather the sailors from other ships to jump down and actively attack the pirates.

Jin Run understood what was happening, and immediately led several of his subordinates to kill a wave of assassins. He came to the bow and blew the horn, summoning the other official ships to come for support.

When the horn sounded, Zhou Chang could not tell the difference, but people on the surrounding ships began to shoot arrows at the Wupeng boats to resist the attack of the Wupeng boats' rockets.

The situation seems to have eased slightly.

Then, Jin Run blew a series of unknown orders, and officers and soldiers on the other official ships began to lower their sampans and surround the main ship.

Gao Yuan took a breath and assessed the situation again: "The wind is too strong, Your Majesty. Although our ship won't sink, it won't last long. The fire will get bigger and bigger. We have to jump off the ship."

"No..." Zhou Chang refused instinctively. Seeing that the counterattack was about to begin and there was still a glimmer of hope, he was unwilling to jump off the ship. "This official ship is so big that it won't sink in a short time. We still have to find a way to repel the assassin."

"Your Highness, I can swim. Don't worry, jump in soon and I will catch you from behind. This time I will definitely not lose you like last time." The skinny monkey had been standing back to back with Zhou Chang. He turned around and showed a mouthful of white teeth in the firelight.

It would be fine if I didn’t mention the last time, but how can I feel at ease if I mention the last time?

Zhou Chang looked left and right, trying to find another way.

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." The rockets on the wupeng boats below were still shooting upwards.

Zhou Chang dodged in a hurry.

Just as she dodged the arrow, a few black-clad bandits jumped out from somewhere and rushed towards her.

Gao Yuan was no match for the four, so he could only shout to Jin Run, "Commander Jin, take a few people and go down first to clear the way for His Highness, escort His Highness to the sampan, and go to the shore immediately."

"Yes." Jin Run's ability was limited, but he was loyal. Without any hesitation, he brought his men to surround Zhou Chang.

Gao Yuan blocked left and right, but it was obvious that he could not hold out for long, so he urged Zhou Chang: "My Lord, don't hesitate, the fire is coming."

Needless to Gao Yuan's words, Zhou Chang had already felt the flames coming towards him.

On the river behind him, someone was shouting "Jump down..." from the direction of Yuan Qi's pleasure boat.

On the other side, the soldiers of the navy camp had already started a melee with the black-winged boats.

Zhou Chang was delighted, as if there was hope. If the people below could agree, the fire on the ship could be brought under control...

"Plop, plop, plop..." Jin Run shouted and was the first to jump down from the two-story high ship's side. Several people around him followed suit and jumped down one after another.

As soon as they fell into the water, these people swam to the sampan that was already floating on the water, and joined forces with the soldiers on the sampan to fight against the bandits.

"This..." Zhou Chang's heart was beating fast. Even if she jumped, she still didn't want to jump.

At this moment, two assassins flew into the air and rushed from both sides.

Zhou Chang only felt a flash before his eyes. Gao Yuan first used his knife to block the black-clad bandit on the right, but it was too late to turn left, so he could only use his body to block the sword.

"Gao Yuan..." Zhou Chang watched Gao Yuan being stabbed in the left shoulder, but he didn't even make a sound.

Gao Yuan then withdrew his right hand and stabbed the assassin with his knife.

In panic, Zhou Chang wanted to pick up a weapon to help, but another black-clad bandit attacked from the side.

The skinny monkey suddenly produced a steel knife from somewhere and used it to block the attack in front of her.

"Gao..." Zhou Chang was worried about Gao Yuan's injury, and also worried that the skinny guy was no match for the assassin.

But before he could call out Gao Yuan's name, he saw a flash of fire in front of his eyes. He instinctively dodged, but he lost his balance and fell off the boat with his feet hanging in the air.

"what……"

"Your Highness..." The skinny monkey didn't even bother to turn around and try to grab Zhou Chang.

If you fail to grab the person, the door behind you will be empty.

Gao Yuan watched Zhou Chang fall into the water but it was too late. He could only use one arm and a knife to chop at the assassin behind the skinny monkey.

"Pfft..."

The second time Zhou Chang fell into the water, he still hadn't gained experience. A mouthful of cold water choked his nose, and then he sank.

The river water was freezing cold and I flapped my wings instinctively, but my hands and feet felt like they weighed a thousand pounds.

Amid the overwhelming fear, the only sound they could hear above their heads was the clanging of weapons, followed by a burst of rapid blocking and Gao Yuan's anxious shout: "Commander Jin, His Highness has fallen into the water, His Highness has fallen into the water..."

Zhou Chang felt more at ease when she heard Gao Yuan's voice. This time she was not alone and there were so many people around her. She remembered to hold her breath and not struggle. Normally, her body would float up on its own.

In the chaos, Jin Run at least heard Gao Yuan's cry for help, and immediately shouted to the surroundings: "Protect His Highness, protect His Highness..."

Either you drown, burn, stab or shoot, it's always one of the two choices.

Zhou Chang finally emerged from the water and saw a pleasure boat appear above his head.

"Catch him..." Yuan Qi brought people on the painted boat to pick up Prince Yi without anyone noticing.

Before the pleasure boat got closer, a middle-aged man leaned out and stretched out his arm to pick up Zhou Chang. It was Wu Hong, the deputy chief escort of the Yuan family.

Zhou Chang tried desperately to grab Wu Hong's hand, but before he could touch it, there was a loud bang, the pleasure boat shook violently, and was almost capsized by a sailed boat.

Before he could catch his breath, a cold light flashed above his head and a black-clad bandit came flying over with a knife in hand.

Yuan Qi almost fell into the water, and quickly leaned over the bow and held onto the side of the boat. When he raised his head again, he shouted, "Wu Hong, protect the prince."

Wu Hong lightly tapped his feet and flew up, directly crashing into the black-clad pirate with his body.

"Plop" both of them fell into the water.

Zhou Chang desperately paddled water towards Yuan Qi.

The boatman on the painted boat was also rowing hard towards Zhou Chang. Yuan Qi grabbed the side of the boat with one hand and leaned half of his body out, trying to grab Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang barely got close to the pleasure boat again and finally grabbed Yuan Qi's hand, but suddenly someone grabbed him from behind and pulled him into the water.

I was so scared that I could do nothing but kick around in the water.

Yuan Qi was still trying his best, but Zhou Chang felt his body sinking. If he continued like this, Yuan Qi would be dragged down with him, so he had no choice but to let go.

"Don't... hold me tight." Yuan Qi's hand didn't catch up after all.

The next second, he stood up from the pleasure boat and was about to jump into the river.

Zhou Chang wanted to stop him, but he couldn't say a word. He had already frozen in the river, and only his eyes were looking at Yuan Qi uncontrollably.

At this moment, a voice from behind shouted: "My Lord, I am here..."

Following the skinny monkey's voice, a huge splash of water appeared behind Zhou Chang with a "splash".

Before I could see clearly, I felt a large lump of flesh falling down.

It hit the black-clad bandit behind Zhou Chang directly, sinking him, and also dragged another black-clad bandit next to him into the water.
