Yang Qing hurriedly rushed out of the cabin.

On the starboard side, a large sea boat crashed into the small boats besieging them, like a bison crashing into a flock of sheep, and the two boats could not dodge and were knocked over by it at once.

"Your Majesty, please give me the sin when the minister is late!"

On the deck, Cao Youyi, the chief soldier of Tianjin, shouted.

The few family members beside him kept shooting arrows at those small boats, and behind his ship, two other sea ships loaded with Yang Qing's slaves also collided, and the enemies who were originally besieging them immediately shifted their targets, and all the rockets were fired at these three sea ships.

Their arrival can't really change Chongzhen's situation.

Because there is not much on these ships that can fight, these are the ships that originally shipped grain to the north, and there is no force at all, those sailors are at most a little capable of fighting at the dock, and those slender men are also equipped with some bows and arrows in Tianjin, but they can't use them at all, they will also order dock fights at most, the real fight is not understood, but the ships besieging them are hundreds of truly elite soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at all a level.

However......

Those slender men are all so water-based!

"All in the water!"

Cao Youyi shouted.

He was the chief soldier of Tianjin, and he was more familiar with these slender men than Yang Qing, and under his knife-wielding urging, those Yang Qing's house slaves jumped into the river one after another.

They really can't fight.

But the enemies in the boats still had to be on their guard, for they could come out of their feet at any moment and stab themselves with knives or spears, and as they went into the water and disappeared with their weapons in hand, the enemies on the boats all gave up their attacks on the ships and stared nervously at the murky water.

By this time, the low tide has ended.

The river immediately became murderous.

In the midst of their panicked confusion, the last ship carrying the house slaves crashed headlong into the Chongzhen ship and ran aground in the shallows like this one.

Yang Qing immediately waved to the cabin, Lao Wang and those insiders hurriedly ran out of the cabin with Chongzhen and Yuan Guifei, Yang Qing kicked a big wooden board on the bulkhead very violently, holding this thing to block the shield, protecting them from quickly evacuating the ship that had almost turned into a sea of fire, and replaced it with the ship that was also stranded. At this time, more and more house slaves jumped into the water, and they already knew their future identity, showing enough bravery, although the real fighting they were to deliver food to the enemy, but relying on the water nature that they had trained by the canal for many years, they still continued to float and sink in the river, and from time to time they came out of the water and poked down an enemy with a knife and spear.

"Bring the bow!"

Yang Qing, who breathed a sigh of relief, said to a house slave.

The latter hurriedly handed over a bow.

Another house slave handed over the arrow.

Yang Qing took a deep breath, opened his bow and arrows and fired five arrows in a row with extreme speed, and the arrows shot five enemies down in the Haihe River.

The enemy finally began to retreat.

They had no chance, especially the leader was killed by Yang Qing, and the person who replaced the commander was definitely not able to let these people fight to the death, and the remaining less than half of the small boats hurriedly retreated, quickly disappearing into the river bay in front.

"Quick, Your Majesty, change ships quickly!"

Yang Qing didn't feel relaxed at all, and then said to Chongzhen.

Their current ship can no longer be used, not only is it also grounded, but it was also ignited by the burning flame of the previous one, fortunately, the other three were not much damaged, under the command of Cao Youyi, his boat came over, and those house slaves in the water rowed over an enemy boat, Chongzhen and others quickly changed boats, and the other house slaves also got on their own boats and continued to chase the fleet that had gone away.

But their troubles were not over, just when they were about to reach the mouth of Dagu, three more ships that had sunk suddenly appeared on the narrow channel after the low tide ahead, completely blocking the entire channel.

"I said I didn't catch the tide."

Cao Youyi said.

Sea ships in and out of the Haihe River are borrowed tide, the high tide inverted sea water can even reach the salty water Gu, the influence of the tide directly to Tianjin, so it is expected that the sea tower to watch the tide, the full tide water level and the low tide water level even difference of five or six meters, the sea ship because of the missed tide stranding is not strange.

But this one certainly isn't.

How can there be stranded side by side?

"Abandon ship!"

Yang Qing said with a gloomy face.

This is deliberately sitting and sinking to block them, and then buy time for others, this is the second interception line for backup, it must have been anchored here before, and it was urgent to sit and sink when the previous interception failed, as for Princess Kunxing and the others when the tide had not yet fallen when they passed, the channel was wide enough to be blocked. And they can only wait for the next high tide, but it will take at least three hours, this time is enough time for those behind the scenes to react, especially soon when it gets dark, if they are blocked here, they will definitely not survive this night, and the next round of attacks will not be so small with night cover.

"But where can you go if you abandon ship?"

Cao Youyi said with a frown.

"Go to Beitang, or go to Lutai, in short, you can't sit still here!"

Yang Qing said.

Cao Youyi and Wang Chengen looked at Chongzhen, Chongzhen nodded, and in this way, the three of them on the ship, including the eunuchs and palace maids and those domestic slaves, plus the sailors of each ship, a total of less than 600 people hurriedly disembarked on the north shore.

Yang Qing picked some strong ones among those house slaves carrying Chongzhen and Wang Chengen on their backs, and an internal exercise carrying Yuan Guifei, he opened the way in front, after Cao Youyi broke off, those house slaves with weapons were protected on the left and right, and began to walk to the northeast to Beitang, and soon it was dark, but they still did not dare to stop, but continued to move forward by the moonlight, probably less than ten miles away, and the night in the direction of the Haihe River behind showed a little strange red.

It was a raging flame.

It was clear that a second group of men had arrived and burned their boat.

"These wolf-hearted things."

Wang Chengen said angrily.

And Chongzhen looked at this fiery red, and the same light flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor's anger has also been burning, in just a few days, he has experienced countless betrayals, betrayals, and even hunting and killing, but the emperor's majesty has made him unable to comfortably scold the streets, and it can already be said to be extremely suppressed. At this moment, the humiliation of fleeing in a hurry made his heart full of hatred continue to distort, if it was Li Zicheng who pursued him, maybe he would be better, but this hunting and killing him was all the old ministers he promoted to lead him to Lu! They ate him and drank him, hollowed out his country, betrayed him to the enemy, ruined his family, and now they are unscrupulous to put him to death. But from this moment on, Chongzhen, who was once touted as the Holy Lord Mingjun, was completely turned into ashes in this flame, and the things instilled by the ministers in the past were also wiped out, as for what he would become in the future, it was difficult to say.

I'm afraid blackening is inevitable.

It's hard to say whether it will demonize this!

"Beitang doesn't dare to go!"

Yang Qing on the side said quietly.

Indeed, the other party came too fast and did not give them enough time, and the only place in this area that can go to sea is Beitang, and the latter cannot guess it, and will definitely chase along this road next, maybe there are cavalry inside. As far as these people are caught up, I am afraid that no one else will be able to run except Yang Qing, and even the other party may copy to Beitang in advance to wait for them, so they have to change the route, a route that is completely unexpected by them......

"Rest, sleep!"

Yang Qing suddenly said with a strange smile.

"Wake up and go back and grab those three ships!"

Cao Youyi immediately understood.

Well, aren't there still three sea ships sitting there? Sleep first and wait for the high tide to run back to grab the hand, and then the tide will naturally hold them up, at this time the wind direction is just right, although it is against the tide, but fortunately there is not far from the mouth of Dagu, to the dawn almost before the sea can go to sea, as long as the sea is nothing to worry about.

They immediately left the road.

This area is full of swamps and salt flats formed by the inflow of seawater, as long as you leave the road to Beitang, hide in the reeds cut by the swamp, do not make a fire, and hide all the reflective things, such a night is basically impossible to detect.

Soon they hid like this.

As for Yang Qing, of course, he didn't care about sleeping, after settling Chongzhen and the others, he quickly returned to the vicinity of the road to hide and wait, and soon a group of cavalry galloped by in the moonlight, and he immediately followed the road backwards, and did not go far and ran into a group of nearly 1,000 infantry, the latter did not even change their clothes, all wearing the uniforms of the Ming army, it was obvious that this was the guard soldiers transferred directly from Tianjin.

In other words, Yuan Yuzong is the actual operator, even if he is not the mastermind.

Of course, this was to be expected.

After this group of soldiers passed, Yang Qing relied on his speed, and then returned to the bank of the Haihe River to make sure that there was no follow-up enemy, so he went back to find Chongzhen and the others, called them and returned to the Haihe River as quickly as possible. Then Yang Qing led a group of house slaves with the best water nature into the water, and touched the side of the three sea ships under the cover of night, and he quietly climbed up and killed everyone on the boat silently, and then put down the rope to pick up those house slaves.

And then another one was solved in the same way.

After these were completed, Chongzhen and the others hurried to get on the boat.

All three boats were carved into the water and sinked, but when they sank, it was already low tide, so after finding a wooden plank to plug the hole and throwing some heavy objects, as the water level began to rise gradually as the tide began, coupled with the continuous discharge of water from the cabin, they still floated quickly.

The three boats set out at once, pushed slowly against the tide by the northwest wind, and finally sailed out of Dagu at dawn.

However......

"Soldiers, warships of the imperial court!"

The sailor who was watching from the mast suddenly exclaimed.

At the dawn of the sea, dozens of sail shadows slowly emerged.

"The rescuer, the rescuer is here, Your Majesty, the rescuer is here!"

Looking at this scene, Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment, and then rushed to the cabin screaming......
