Li Shanchang and the others were directing the soldiers on the deck to defend against the enemy's attack, and when they saw Ma Xiuying coming, Li Shanchang said anxiously: "Mrs. Ma, you came just in time, it is very dangerous here, I was about to ask someone to escort you to leave first." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" said to Yuan Xing again: "Captain Yuan, why haven't you taken Mrs. Ma away yet?" ”

Yuan Xing was just about to explain, but Ma Xiuying shook his head, "Secretary Li, you also know that when you fight, you are most afraid of someone running away, once someone leaves first, it will inevitably cause others to panic." "The group of women in the cabin crying wolf is enough to give people a headache, if everyone knows that she is fleeing for her life alone, even if she does not dare to complain, she will definitely be jealous in her heart, and it will be difficult to work together to resist the enemy.

"But you have the flesh and blood of an adult." Li Shan's long words mean that even if Ma Xiuying doesn't think about herself, she has to think about Zhu Yuanzhang's heirs.

"It is precisely because of this that I can't leave, and with me here, their desire to survive has become stronger." Ma Xiuying smiled faintly and shouted loudly to the busy soldiers around her: "Don't be afraid, I am Marshal Zhu's wife, Marshal Zhu has sent a sailor to support, everyone must hold on until our sailor arrives." You have to believe that Marshal Zhu will not leave me, nor will he leave you! I will live and die with you! ”

"Believe! Believe! Just like Ma Xiuying said, everyone saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's wife and unborn child were on this boat, and no one doubted Ma Xiuying's words, they all firmly believed that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely send sailors to support, even if they didn't save them, they would save their wives and children.

"You ......" Li Shanchang's words were suppressed by a deafening roar, and he looked at Ma Xiuying helplessly and admiringly. Last time, Chen Ye attacked Hezhou first, and she stepped forward, and this time she was not afraid of danger, she was really inspired! He sighed, and didn't waste his words to persuade Ma Xiuying to leave, "It's busy and chaotic outside, Mrs. Ma still goes to the cabin to rest." ”

Yuan Xing immediately urged: "Sister, come back to the cabin with me." ”

Xun Ying also persuaded: "Madam, the wind and waves are high outside, but it is safe in the cabin." ”

"Okay, leave me alone, let's talk about the situation here first, why did there still appear after our army swept both sides of the Yangtze River?" Ma Xiuying waved her hand impatiently to stop the persuasion of the two.

When it came to business, Li Shanchang was not verbose, "There are a few soldiers on the boat who recognize this group of water cowards as Zuo Junbi's subordinates. I think that yesterday the Lord captured the quarry rock, this gang of thieves saw that the situation was not good, and fled first with a small boat, and today I heard that our building ship was carrying the officials' families across the river, so they wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of our army to pick up a cheap ......"

While the two were talking, suddenly the deck trembled, and there was a "boom" sound in their ears, which turned out to be soldiers firing artillery. However, these newly recruited sailors had never been in contact with artillery before, and now they were chasing ducks to the shelves, learning and using them now, and when they saw Zuo Junbi's 100 small boats gradually approaching, they were anxious, and they didn't care about any problems such as locking on the target, firing range, and the length of the fire twist, they lit the artillery directly, covered their ears, and resigned themselves to fate.

Where could the guns fired in this way hit the ships, they fell into the river and wasted them, but the waves raised by the artillery finally overturned a small boat in the enemy's army.

"I'll try." Ma Xiuying recovered from her stunned, quickly walked over to a cannon, pushed away the soldier and approached the barrel to aim. Although she had never fired a gun, she was familiar with firearms, and the principles of loading, aiming, and shooting were similar.

"Loaded!" Ma Xiuying can't move a 180-pound cannonball.

The soldier next to him subconsciously loaded the shells.

Yuan Xing hurriedly walked over to help Ma Xiuying set up the cannon barrel.

Ma Xiuying roughly aimed at a rushing boat, silently calculated the time of the fire twist detonation in her heart, and when it was counted to three two one, she did not hesitate to light the fire twist. Only the sound of "Zizi" was heard, and the fire twist quickly burned out, and with a "boom", a cannon flew out of the barrel and hit the enemy ship, and the small boat suddenly fell into a sea of fire.

Everyone cheered, only Xun Ying noticed that Ma Xiuying frowned slightly, and hurriedly helped her aside and sat down.

Ma Xiuying insisted on telling the soldiers about her shooting experience, and let people pass it on one by one.

With a parameter to compare, none of these soldiers fired their artillery blindly. Although there is still a time to miss, I can hit seven or eight times out of ten. Under the bombardment of these artillery, the enemy ships gradually slowed down and did not dare to approach easily, and occasionally the enemy in one or two small boats tried to board the building ship, but they were also shot into a hornet's nest by the soldiers' arrows.

The war lasted more than an hour, and as time went by, the number of shells decreased.

Li Shanchang was secretly anxious, once he lost his artillery as cover, the enemy would be like entering a no-man's land, and the whole ship would be in danger at that time! Just as he was about to propose the idea of evacuating to Ma Xiuying for the second time, he saw that the enemy's small boat suddenly turned around and fled, and tall building ships appeared in the sky, and the sails on each ship were raised high, and they were galloping in the wind and waves.

"Our sailor is here!" Li Shanchang was overjoyed, secretly glanced at Ma Xiuying, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Ma Xiuying and the families of other officials were fine.

No one expected that just when everyone was relaxed and cheering, Ma Xiuying fell to the ground, and blood seeped out from the bottom of her skirt and flowed onto the deck.

It turned out that there was recoil at the moment when the cannon was discharged, Ma Xiuying forgot this, she didn't leave the cannon barrel in time when she lit the fire twist, and the cannon barrel shook backwards and just happened to hit her abdomen. At that time, she was sweating on her forehead in pain, but in order not to worry everyone, she kept holding on, until now she was sure that the whole boat was safe, she had just relaxed and the severe pain was like a tide coming, she trembled her lips, and her hands weakly stroked a few times in the air, "Shadow, help me back to the room......"

"Mrs. Ma!" Countless exclamations rang out, and everyone was stunned, unable to believe how Mrs. Ma, who had been fighting side by side with them a moment ago, suddenly collapsed, and their hearts swelled with endless panic, and some soldiers even knelt down and prayed to God to bless Mrs. Ma and her children from the heavens.

Xun Ying's legs weakened, she rushed to Ma Xiuying, picked her up and cried helplessly: "Save my wife!" ”

Yuan Xing's eyes were split, he looked around, and roared madly: "Who can save my sister?" ”

At this time, a civil official named Wu Liang stepped forward and said, "The insider is slightly familiar with Huang ......."

"Call your lady quickly, no, no, take me to your lady!" Yuan Xing rudely interrupted Wu Liang's words and ordered him to take him to the cabin to meet Mrs. Wu.

The family members who were hiding in the cabin saw Yuan Xing and Xunying carrying Ma Xiuying in, and thought that the building ship was lost, and Ma Xiuying was injured, and they all panicked and cried when they opened their mouths.

Ma Xiuying said weakly: "Don't be nervous, our reinforcements are coming, everyone will be safe." ”

"Madam, you still care about them after all this." Xun Ying hurriedly stopped Ma Xiuying from speaking again, she hated these selfish women to death, and forced Ma Xiuying like that before. But seeing Ma Xiuying's still uneasy eyes, she had to repeat the news of the arrival of reinforcements loudly.

When the ladies heard that their sailors were coming, and the boat was fine, they all relaxed and covered their mouths and stopped crying.

"Sister!" Only Guo Ninglian and Li Qi'er turned pale, if something happened to Ma Xiuying, they would not be able to escape the blame, and hurriedly rushed out to ask the reason.

A trace of joy flashed across Guo Hui's face, and he suddenly found that this kind of occasion was not suitable for publicity, so he hurriedly lowered his head and rushed to Ma Xiuying, crying and shouting: "Sister, what's wrong with you, sister, don't scare me." ”

Yuan Xing came to the cabin to find Mrs. Wu, but he was dizzy by these women, and couldn't help but be furious, "Shut up!" What a howl! In order to save you, my sister accidentally moved the fetus, and you are still crying here to block the way! ”

An angry rebuke made everyone silent. Wu Liang was able to raise his voice under the gaze of many female dependents, "Lady, come and see Mrs. Ma's situation." ”

Mrs. Wu stepped on the three-inch golden lotus and ran over, and her face suddenly changed drastically when she probed the pulse, and she couldn't speak clearly, "Help me to rest on the bed...... I, I will eat the fetal pill first, bring hot water and brown sugar water, if anyone has ginseng, angelica is the best ......"

Everyone carried Ma Xiuying into the cabin with all hands and feet, serving the water and feeding the medicine, and they were very busy, some of them really hoped that Ma Xiuying would get better, but some people wished that Ma Xiuying would die.

"Madame! Madam! Zhu Yuanzhang swept in like a gust of wind, and as soon as he boarded the ship, he heard that Ma Xiuying was bleeding and fell, and hurriedly rushed into the cabin.

Ma Xiuying smiled apologetically and said weakly: "You're here, I'm sorry, kid ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang had already heard Li Shanchang tell what had happened, so he hurriedly held her hand and said eagerly: "Madam, don't speak, let this Mrs. Wu see your situation." ”

Mrs. Wu blushed and said, "Everyone go out, I want to check Mrs. Ma's body." ”

Yuan Xing and the servants were the first to exit the cabin, and the women looked at each other and slowly left the cabin, only Zhu Yuanzhang was indifferent and still held Ma Xiuying's hand tightly.

"My lord, please go out too." Mrs. Wu's voice is like a mosquito, and Zhu Yuanzhang's beard is really intimidating.

"I'm going to accompany Madame, you can check it like this."

"But men should be taboo about these things......"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and said unhappily: "I don't know whether my child is alive or dead, why are you so verbose?" ”

Mrs. Wu didn't dare to speak anymore, so she unbuttoned Ma Xiuying's skirt and dirty pants tremblingly, took a look, touched her abdomen, and said happily: "Congratulations, my lord, the child didn't fall out, and he is still in the womb." ”

"Where's my wife?" Zhu Yuanzhang's gloomy expression eased slightly.

Mrs. Wu carefully wiped the blood stains on Ma Xiuying's body, took a pulse for a while, and said: "Fortunately, Mrs. Ma is strong and takes medicine in time, so it is not a big problem, but she must rest in bed for a period of time and can no longer move the fetal gas." ”

"Haha, you go down." Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Ma Xiuying and smiled, this feeling of being lost and regained was happier than when he captured Quarry Rock. "Madame, do you hear me? Our kids are fine, and so are you. ”

"I'll rest for a while......" Ma Xiuying's tense nerves finally relaxed completely when she heard that the child was fine, and fell into darkness before she finished speaking.
