Chapter Twenty-One: Desperate Survival

With the weather in Liaodong, it also becomes rainy in the summer.

Calculate the time, and the time is about the same.

The first heavy rain in Liaodong in the third year of Zhaowu came quickly and urgently. In a moment, like a sky leak, a violent storm suddenly came, making it difficult to see a few steps away.

Zheng Chenggong looked up at the sky, he couldn't open his eyes because of the rain, but he suddenly opened his arms, looked up to the sky and roared, I don't know where a strong force suddenly gushed out, he actually turned over and got up from the stretcher. said: "Heaven will not kill me." ”

Zheng Chenggong's illness is certainly caused by fatigue, but it is more of a heart disease.

And this heavy rain is the medicine that can cure Zheng Chenggong.

In this heavy rain, the Liao River will definitely rise, and the strength of human beings cannot compete with nature, and the Liao River is rising, and the boats of the Xia army trapped near Niuzhuang have a glimmer of hope going down the river. Although there is a glimmer of hope, for Zheng Chenggong, it is a lifesaver.

It's just that Zheng Cheng's function thinks of it, and Azig can think of it too.

Under the heavy rain, almost all firearms could not be used, and the muddy ground was not conducive to the galloping of horses, but everyone in Azignin dismounted and fought on foot, and everyone endured the rain falling from the sky, and could hardly open their eyes, and the mud on the ground was like a hand, pulling the soles of their feet. The body temperature is dropping rapidly, and the cold seeps out from the bones.

And because the line of sight is not clear, what everyone can see is a piece in front of them, and more cooperation can't be played.

The soldiers and soldiers of Xia brought their hats and coats one after another, but this kind of rain gear was useless in the sudden heavy rain.

The battlefield was chaotic, and the rain threw the commanders of both armies into chaos. Most of the places are fighting on their own.

This situation was very disliked by most of the generals.

Including Azig.

Ma Sanbao originally guarded the unfinished Niuzhuang City, but soon he lost control of the soldiers below.

Ma Sanbao could only integrate his own soldiers and kill them in one go. Kill with the Qing army.

At the same time, Zheng Chenggong had taken over the ship. Although a previous night attack burned a lot of ships. But there are still dozens of boats on the shore, and the bottom of the boats is perched on the river beach. can't move, and at this moment, under the command of Zheng Chenggong, there is at most one sentry on each ship.

Hit to this time.

None of the posts of the Xia army was full, at most more than 300 people, and as few as only more than 100 people.

In order to make the ship float, Zheng Chenggong ordered all the heavy objects on the ship to be thrown down, artillery, food, and even weapons.

Wait for the rainstorm to fall

After an hour or so, Zheng Chenggong suddenly felt a shake under his feet, and this familiar shaking sensation immediately made Zheng Chenggong overjoyed, knowing that the water level was approaching.

Whether it is heavy rain falling directly into the Liao River, or falling near the Liao River, flowing into the Liao River along the nearby waterway, and even the upstream is also raining, within one or two hours of rain, the water of the Liao River rises by more than one meter.

The ship, which had sunk on the shore as if it were a stone, began to sway.

For a while, Zheng Chenggong's heart shook with the shaking of the ship, he knelt on the deck, and prayed silently in his heart: "Mazu Niangniang is on top, today's disciple has to get rid of the great calamity, and he will definitely reshape the golden body for Niangniang." ”

It's just that no matter how Zheng Chenggong prays, the wind and rain outside are like obscurity, but the ship is still as steady as iron and stone, motionless, as if a little wind and rain outside can't move it at all.

Zheng Chenggong suddenly thought of something, and said secretly: "Mazu is in charge of the sea, but now she has come to the north, but it is not working." Immediately prayed silently: "Emperor Xuanwu is above, as long as Emperor Xuanwu can shelter his disciples, the disciples will definitely devote themselves to worshiping Xuanwu in the future, and go to Wudang Mountain to make a vow." ”

Emperor Xuanwu in the Ming Dynasty is a very common belief, in the eyes of the people, not only the guardian saint of the north, but also the guardian saint of the Ming royal family, when Zhu Di raised the army, he used the name of the Xuanwu Emperor, so 300,000 people were mobilized to repair Wudang Mountain.

A Forbidden City was built on Wudang Mountain.

At this moment, as if a gust of wind was blowing, the huge ship was pushed away a few feet away, and the whole ship floated.

Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed and almost jumped out. said: "Thank you Emperor Xuanwu for your blessing." ”

When Zheng Chenggong said this, the soldiers below were overjoyed and cheered loudly: "Emperor Xuanwu bless." ”

The sound came out far away, through the heavy rain curtain, and reached Ma Sanbao's ears.

Ma Sanbao was covered in blood at the moment, with the last thousand soldiers. It's in the middle of Niuzhuang City.

This small Niuzhuang City seems to be about to be filled with corpses.

Although Niuzhuang City was not built, only the surrounding four walls were built, and these four walls were not built, only waist-high. However, Niuzhuang City, as the most eye-catching building in the wind and rain, made many Qing soldiers and soldiers spontaneously invest here from all directions.

Ma Sanbao resisted stubbornly, from outside the east gate, slowly retreated to the city, along the way he himself did not remember how many Qing soldiers he killed, nor did he know how many soldiers under his command, silently fell to the ground, let countless rains wash away, even the last trace of blood washed away.

Only a blistered, whitish corpse was left behind, and the rain was mixed with blood everywhere.

At this time, Ma Sanbao didn't count at all, how many people were still under his command. Because there is no need to count, the important thing is reset to zero in the end.

Ma Sanbao looked at it, and the water on the ground was up to his feet and necks, and everyone was wading through the water to fight. The already small city walls seem to enclose the most brutal gladiatorial arena, and only the rest of the people will survive.

To be honest, Ma Sanbao worked very hard.

The most important thing is to suffer on the blade. And suffer a big loss.

Zhang Xuan paid attention to institutionalization in the army, so in addition to firearms, there were only two or three kinds of cold weapons in the army, spears and waist knives. But in the heavy rain, firearms could not play a role, and spears and waist knives could not deal with the white armor soldiers of the Qing army.

The white-armored soldiers are clad in triple armor and look like humanoid tanks. The thin waist knife, cut up, is just a spark, it is difficult to break the armor, and in the heavy rain, almost everyone is soaked, if the spear is not accurate, the head of the spear is easy to slide away.

And among the Xia army, many of the soldiers are actually not very good at martial arts.

At this moment, they only have a desperate heart. It's just that there is time to work hard, and it also requires skill.

Ma Sanbao was born in the Ming border army, practiced martial arts since childhood, saw this situation, and could only snatch a pair of copper hammers from the hands of the Qing army, of course, this copper hammer is not big, the hammer on it is only the size of a fist, but this thing is the most powerful armor, a hammer on the armor, let him several heavy armor, can directly hurt the internal organs, can not see external injuries, but the body is weak to fall on the ground.

In this kind of fighting, anyone who falls to the ground has no possibility of getting up again.

It will only be stepped on by countless feet and trampled into pulp.

It's just that Ma Sanbao is brave, but the most important thing in the Qing army is the fierce general. Even if you don't talk about the white-armored soldiers of the Qing army, even if they are weaker than Ma Sanbao, they are not far behind, let alone the savages recruited from the white mountains and black waters in the northeast.

These people don't understand Chinese, and they can't even speak the Jurchen very clearly, but they can make a living in the mountains and forests, and they are all very skilled, and they can't talk about tearing tigers and leopards alive, but they are by no means comparable to idlers, putting on triple armor and taking sophisticated weapons.

One by one, they are like ironclad puppets without a trace of feeling.

Several spears stabbed over, and Ma Sanbao opened the two spears with the copper hammer in his hand, but another spear came out of nowhere like a ghost and stabbed directly on Ma Sanbao's breastplate.

"Jingle", sparks splash.

The white armor soldiers of the Qing army are mostly equipped with triple armor, but the armor on Ma Sanbao's body is only better than them, and they don't have to be worse.

This body of plate armor is the welfare of General Ma Sanbao, and it is the skilled craftsman selected by the Manufacturing Bureau. According to Ma Sanbao's own requirements, carefully built. is only more than 30 catties, and the defensive power is comparable to the triple armor of the Qing army. So Ma Sambao's armor blocked this fatal blow for him.

Although he couldn't breathe, at least he saved his life.
