Chapter 522: Don't be discouraged
Qian Badou took Zhao Xuhai as a hostage, and wanted to make the other party have scruples, but in the current situation, he didn't know if Zhu Hong really cared about Zhao Xuhai's life and death, and from the face of this young man, he couldn't see any look that could make him make a judgment.
After all, he was a vicious pirate, and he had a plan in his heart, grabbed the belt on Zhao Xuhai's waist, and lifted it up with a suffrage in his hand. Zhao Xuhai's stature is not short, at least one or two hundred catties, and he was carried in the air by this Qian Badou with one hand, and he had no power to resist.
Qian Badou said fiercely: "Okay! Since you want to die, Lao Tzu will fulfill you!" With that, his arm was full of luck and Liliang suddenly swung out and threw Zhao Xuhai towards the deck in front of Zhu Hong!
The steel axe in Qian Badou's hand was already against Zhao Xuhai's neck, and it was just a gesture to kill someone, and he didn't need to spend so much effort at all, the purpose of his move was just to test Zhu Hong's reaction with Zhao Xuhai's life.
If Zhu Hong cared about Zhao Xuhai's life, he would definitely reach out to pick it up, and he would not let him die in front of him. At such a distance, as long as Zhu Hong leans over to save people, his heart will definitely show flaws, and Qian Badou can cut it down with an axe, even if he can't kill Zhu Hong, he can always cut the other party.
And if Zhu Hong really didn't save Zhao Xuhai, Qian Badou made up his mind and immediately fled, relying on his light skills to save his life.
Seeing that Zhao Xuhai had hit the deck in front of Zhu Hong with his head down, Zhu Hong really reached out to catch it, Qian Badou was secretly happy in his heart, rushed to the front with a step, grabbed the giant axe and was about to slash down!
This young man is cheating! This thought suddenly passed through Qian Badou's heart, and this young man made a gesture to pick him up, but in fact, he didn't want to save people at all, but just wanted to lure him over. Qian Badou was stunned, and hurriedly withdrew the steel axe to block Zhu Hong's palm, but he blocked another void!
Zhu Hong's two palms were also false moves, he turned around, hugged Zhao Xuhai's waist with both hands, and when Zhao Qianzong's head was about to hit the deck, he had already taken him in his hand, and then gently put it on the ground.
It turns out that this young man still wants to save Zhao Xuhai!
Qian Badou only understood at this time, but it was too late. When Zhu Hong turned around to catch Zhao Xuhai, his back was completely exposed in front of Qian Badou, but he didn't have time to react.
He had just changed his move once, and the speed of changing his move was slow, and the masters were competing, and the chance to win only existed for a moment, and when Qian Badou understood, Zhu Hong had already put down Zhao Xuhai and stood with his palms, where is there still a flaw to be found?
This square-faced and big-eared young man has a generous appearance, and he even looks a little honest, but his ingenuity when fighting with the enemy is first-class, even the old fox like Lu Qiuhong is defeated under his palm, where can Qian Badou take advantage!
Qian Badou's misjudgment was also due to the fact that he was too afraid of the opponent's palm power, and as soon as he saw Zhu Hong's palms coming, he hurriedly withdrew his moves, so that he lost a good opportunity to win by injuring the enemy. At this time, Qian Badou was no longer thinking about whether he could hurt the other party, but about worrying about his own life, because Zhu Hong's mountain-shaking palm power was already coming!
If Qian Badou still had the opportunity to retreat and escape with light skills just now, now that this opportunity has been lost, he simply sent himself to Zhu Hong, and under the palm power of the "God of War" like Mount Tai, where can he get out!
The continuous sound of "Boom Knock Knock", Qian Badou's mouth was full of blood, and he retreated in panic, and the handle of the steel axe in his hand was knocked into a curved flat pole, and then twisted into a twist, and he could no longer grasp it and fell to the ground. He finally realized what the "troll" Hu Liuyang felt at the gate of Okura Castle that day!
"Ninth Brother...... Come and help!"
Qian Badou hissed with zuihou's liliang, but he didn't get a response, he turned his head to look, where could he still find the shadow of his younger brother Qian Jiukong.
Previously, the Qian brothers both entered the circle formed by a group of sailor soldiers, Qian Badou carried an axe to kill Zhao Xuhai, and Qian Jiukong rushed to the other soldiers. As soon as Zhu Hong appeared, Qian Jiukong had already seen it, and he was frightened and had already made the idea of escaping. And Qian Badou's calculation to take Zhao Xuhai as a hostage failed, and was forced by Zhu Hong's palm power, Qian Jiukong still hesitated at all, and immediately flew out of the circle formation and fled towards the pirate ship on the side of the ship.
Brotherly love is important, but his own life is three points heavier, rather than the two of them dying together, it is better to escape one by one, and the Qian family must not be cut off from the incense. Qian Jiukong is also a smart person, of course he will not make the same mistakes as Qian Badou.
Qian Badou's teeth were cracking, and he was extremely resentful in his heart, but he didn't hate Zhu Hong, but hated his brother. Not long ago, he also rescued Qian Jiukong, but he didn't expect his younger brother to be ruthless and unjust, leaving him to escape alone at such a juncture!
At this time, Zhu Hong's iron palm cut into Qian Badou's neck, and his neck bone was suddenly broken by the huge force, twisting into a strange shape like his steel axe, and then his body fell straight down with a "poof", and he couldn't stand up again.
Qian Badou, the most ferocious of the pirates, was killed, and Qian Jiukong also fled, and the morale of the sailors on the deck was greatly boosted!
The circle that had been laid out earlier had long been disrupted. But now, these soldiers no longer need to form formation, one by one shouting loudly, brandishing their weapons and slashing at the pirates.
The pirate minions of the "Black Dragon Palace" saw that even the two dragons couldn't hold up the scene, where did they dare to fight, they only hated to give birth to two legs, and they fled for their lives first.
In the blink of an eye, the situation on the deck was completely reversed, and the pirates, who had a slight advantage in numbers, were directly defeated in a hurry, and fled back to the pirate ship from the sides of the board in a hurry. The pirates on the four falcons hurriedly set sail away from the three-masted gunboat, lest the mighty "god of war" catch up with them and kill them all.
Because the ship was moving so fast, many pirates had to jump into the sea before they could escape back to the ship, while the remaining pirates who remained on the ship were quickly besieged by the sailors.
The soldiers thought that the battle was lost, and the whole ship could not escape the end of being killed, but they did not think that a young man called the "God of War" was born and turned the tide of the battle with the power of one person, and everyone was able to escape from death, and the pirates were defeated. After the surprise was added, everyone couldn't help but cheer loudly.
After this battle, the name of the "God of War" was not only known to everyone in Okura Castle, but also widely spread among the various sailors in the Middle-earth Continent.
The pirates on the three-masted gunboat were all wiped out, and Zhu Hong walked up to Zhao Xuhai and asked, "Zhao Qian is all right, right?"
At this time, Zhao Xuhai's cloak was scattered, his clothes and armor were scattered, there was an empty scabbard hanging on his waist, and the saber didn't know where it fell, and the wound on his neck was cut by a steel axe and was still dripping blood, which could be described as embarrassing.
His face was full of shame, and he said, "Little brother, did you send you here by Gongzi Cao?" The pioneer battalion has now been defeated, Zhao Xuhai is not effective in command, and he really has no shame to go back, please kill me, little brother!"
Zhao Xuhai had never seen Zhu Hong in Okura City last time, and when he saw that this young man was strong in martial arts, he guessed that he was probably a master of Cao Duyun's Jinyi Guard.
Zhu Hong shook his head and said: "My name is Zhu Hong, I am a disciple of the 'Evil Dog Gate', and the master only ordered me to come by boat to investigate the battle situation, and I do not have the right to kill General Zhao." ”
Zhao Xuhai sighed and said, "It turns out that the little brother is a disciple of the 'Evil Dog Gate'. Hey, today's defeat is all Zhao's fault, I'm really ashamed!"
Zhu Hong glared at Zhao Xuhai and said: "Mr. Zhao Qian, now that the pirates on this ship have been repulsed, you don't want to command the dispatch of ships to kill the enemy, but what are you doing here sighing and sighing!"
Zhao Xuhai was stunned for a moment, and said: "Most of the ships of the forward battalion have been lost, and the rest have been scattered, the person commanding the pirate ship on the opposite side must be a master of naval warfare, Zhao is too far behind him, and now he has been defeated and there is nothing he can do......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Hong had already interrupted and asked, "Mr. Zhao Qian, let me ask you, are you afraid of death?"
If this was asked before the battle, of course Zhao Xuhai was afraid of death, but just now, he had already given away an old life, and said loudly at this time: "As a general of the imperial court, death will die, what is so terrible!"
Zhu Hong nodded and said, "Qian Badou threatened your life just now, what you said, I knew that you were not afraid of death." However, General Zhao is not afraid of death, but Weishenme is afraid of commanding ships and fighting with the opponent's masters?
"You said that you have been defeated, but I see that there are still many ships of the pioneer battalion on the sea, and even if only one of us is left, can't we fight?"
Hearing Zhu Hong's words, Zhao Xuhai felt like someone had been hit the head.
There are indeed not many things in this world that are more terrible than death, and life can be risked away, what else is there to be afraid of!
The vanguard battalion has indeed suffered heavy losses so far, two three-masted gunboats have been captured by the other side, half of the ships have been set on fire, and the eagle ships have been burned and sunk and robbed a lot, but there are at least twenty or so ships left, and they will not be able to fight again before they have started!
Zhao Xuhai was defeated by the other party before, and found that the person in charge of the pirate warship had the same naval fighting skills as Peng San, and he had already lost all his confidence, so that he was discouraged and desperate, and only thought about how to save his life and go home, and did not dare to fight the other party again. But now that he doesn't even want his life anyway, there's nothing to worry about!
He is also the general of the Ming Dynasty's naval division, and he has led the Tuolin Water Village for many years, even if his ability is not as good as the opponent's naval master, at least he can fight it!
Zhao Xuhai hugged his fist at Zhu Hong and said: "Zhao understands, thank you Brother Zhu for reminding me!"
He walked in front of a sailor soldier, pulled out the soldier's waist knife, walked to the side of the ship in three or two steps, waved the knife and cut a thick rope, and shouted: "I, Zhao Xuhai, swear with a human head that I will fight to the death with the pirates today, if I can't kill the enemy, Zhao's neck has such a rope!"
