The enemy was attacked on both sides of the riverside village, and among the attackers, there was also the figure of the Nanjun building boat, the king of the East China Sea was so shocked that he almost fainted, and Han Ruzi was also at a loss.

This shattered almost all of his expectations.

"This is the ...... of the Southern Army" Han Ruzi tried to look at the lake, only to see three huge shadows, and there seemed to be some small boats around, all of which did not light torches, like a ghost boat slowly heading towards the riverside village.

"Why?" The King of the East China Sea asked in a trembling voice, his eyes turned to Han Ruzi, thinking that he could get an answer from him, "Uncle knows that I am here, does it ...... Is it ......?"

"Could it be that the Queen Mother has already won?" Han Ruzi can only come to such a conclusion.

The King of the East Sea shuddered.

Once the balance between the Queen Mother and the Cui family is broken, the gap between Han Ruzi's survival will no longer exist.

Han Ruzi suddenly found that there was one less person around him, and his life disappeared, he said that when there was no way to save him, he would not die with him, in his opinion, this is probably the case now.

Han Ruzi was disheartened, but he was not the king of the East China Sea, he had long been accustomed to a desperate environment, unless he couldn't open his eyes again, he was never willing to sit back.

"Stand back, start with the first team, don't go into the house, hide behind the house!" He gave the order, and no one objected, no one questioned, and they were afraid that if they got an answer, they would lose the last bit of hope.

The team was surprisingly clean, and retreating meant approaching the fire, and no one shouted.

Han Ruzi knew that he had to be calm, so he stood on the dock, facing the boats on the lake, without any shelter in front of him, and said loudly to the king of the East Sea: "Does the southern army also have sailors in Kidnapping Lake?" ”

The East Sea King didn't want to get close at all. was pushed behind the "emperor" by several guards. "The Southern Army has a fleet of building boats on the Wei River. It may be connected to Abduction Lake. It takes at least half a day to get here from the Wei River, which shows that it ...... Arrangements have been made during the day. ”

Han Ruzi just asked casually, without a purpose. Chao Hua walked up from behind, clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, allow me to take a few people to scuttle the boat." ”

"Is it possible?"

Chao Hua smiled: "We people have been fishing in the water since childhood, and we have been in the lake for half a day, let's try it." ”

"Good. General Chao is invited to order troops. ”

Seeing Han Ruzi sending troops in a serious manner, the King of the East China Sea wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, so he could only make a few hums from his mouth.

Chao Hua called out a series of names, and named fourteen people, most of whom were teenagers from Chao's fishing village, who had already prepared, wearing only shorts, holding daggers and awls in their mouths, and walked into the lake. Swim into the distance and soon disappear into the night.

"It didn't work. The soldiers of the building boat all have spears, and they are specially used against them water ghosts. "The King of the East Sea still doesn't see any hope.

The retreat was almost complete, and only after the last hundred-man team had also left the dock did Han Ruzi walk towards the center of the stockade surrounded by guards.

"On one side is to burn to death, on the other side is to shoot and drown...... "The king of the East Sea doesn't want to go anywhere."

There was a strange sound in the air, Han Ruzi and the others turned to look, only to see a rocket falling from the sky, hitting the position where he was standing just now, piercing deeply into the wooden bridge, trembling slightly, and the flames were quickly extinguished.

"The archery skills of the Southern Army are not very good." Han Ruzi pretended to be relaxed.

"This is a temptation, and it will be a thousand arrows soon." The King of the East Sea was terrified, and quickened his pace, just wanting to get farther away from the dock, but was dragged back by two guards.

Han Ruzi continued to move forward, neither fast nor slow, even if he heard a louder sound in the air behind him, he did not speed up his pace.

The guards frequently turned around and looked around, protecting the "emperor" with their bodies as much as possible.

Dozens of arrows rained down on the wooden bridge at the pier.

Han Ruzi quipped: "If Miss Jin is here, she will definitely be happy, her arrows are always insufficient." ”

The composure of the "Emperor" infected the people around him, and one of the guards smiled and said, "Yes, if the Empress is here, she can repel all the attackers alone." ”

The King of the East Sea was both ridiculous and frightened.

They finally reached the center of the stockade, there were not many houses left, and they couldn't cover more than 700 people, so Han Ruzi stood on the road, looking at the flames outside, which was a bit more threatening than the lake.

The flames had engulfed the surrounding fence wall, the smoke was billowing and the heat was overwhelming, and they were trying to leap over the clearing, to wipe out the last few houses and hundreds of living people in the stockade, like a cat that was using its claws to reach the rats that had been cornered, and the paws were only an inch or two apart from their prey.

Are you really going to die here? Han Ruzi didn't dare to think about it.

There was a cry of pleading nearby, and it was the captured officers and soldiers, who were locked in the vacant pigsty, closest to the flames.

"Let them out." Han Ruzi ordered, and immediately someone went to open the pigsty and cut the ropes, and all the officers and soldiers were burdened with their hands, connected into several strings, and they didn't care about thanksgiving, looking at the flames in all directions, one by one, trembling and wailing.

After all, the flames did not come over, and the reeds on the north and south sides grew in the water, and the fire became smaller first, except for the flames in the direction of the west gate.

Several more rounds of arrows were fired from the lake, as far as deep into the interior of the stockade, through the roof, and into the house.

No one squeaked, even the officers and soldiers gave up wailing, and everyone waited silently like lambs for the final outcome.

Han Ruzi gave birth to a glimmer of hope, called out the names of several centurions, and ordered: "Later, your five teams will serve as the forwards, just rush, don't stay, your three teams protect the left flank, your three teams defend the right flank, and your five teams will only greet after they are broken, not pursue." You teams protect the old, young, women and children in the village, and the rest follow me and listen to my orders at any time......"

Every order has someone to answer, the king of the East China Sea couldn't laugh, he had some admiration in his heart, as soon as the fire was a little smaller, Han Ruzi was thinking about how to break through, he couldn't do it, he still couldn't see any chance of winning, the fire weakened but not extinguished, there would be no fewer attackers outside, and when the sky was a little brighter, the soldiers in the lake would be able to land in the boat...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Suddenly, something fell and smashed right on the right cheek, and the king of the East Sea was so frightened that he hugged one of the guards beside him tightly, trying to block the attack with the opponent's body.

The guards pushed him away and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing? ”

"Yes...... Water. The king of the East Sea touched his face to confirm that it was a drop of water, and when he looked up, there seemed to be dark clouds in the sky under the reflection of the firelight.

More and more people looked up at the sky, first inexplicable, then surprised, and finally ecstatic.

"It's going to rain! It's raining, God save us! "It's the emperor, he's the true dragon emperor, God wants to save the true dragon emperor!"

This was not the miracle that Han Ruzi was looking forward to, even if there was no rain, the fire outside would be extinguished, but this unexpected rain had too much impact on him.

The wind burst out, and the flames outside made one last effort, stretching out long tongues of fire and stabbing at the combustible objects in the stockade, and suddenly, the rain poured down, and the flames retreated in ashes.

The crowd stayed for a while, cheered in unison, and knelt down in front of Han Ruzi, their clothes soaked and their hands and feet were muddy, and they didn't care.

"True Dragon Son, I told you, he is the True Dragon Son."

The king of the East China Sea also knelt down, there was no way, the guards pressed his shoulders hard, and he couldn't stand even if he wanted to.

He was both surprised and envious, Han Ruzi's luck was too good, although the rain in the summer was very frequent, but it was a miracle to catch up with the next one at this time. But he also had to admit that if Han Ruzi was not prepared and fell into a panic at the beginning, this rain would be meaningless.

Han Ruzi stood in the rain, accepting everyone's bowing, he didn't believe in the gods and Buddhas very much, but at this moment, he did have a sense of destiny.

The rain poured all over his body, but he felt hot all over his body, and said to himself in his heart: "I am the emperor, I am the emperor......"

The rain came and went quickly, and it really seemed like it was specially designed to extinguish the fire.

The night did not subside, there was no flame, and it was darker, Han Ruzi, who was poured into a soup chicken, turned around, and many volunteers could only see a vague figure, and their hearts became more and more awe-inspiring, all of them prostrate on the ground, and even those officers and soldiers were lying on the ground and did not dare to move.

"Once rich, don't forget, no matter how long it has passed, I will remember my followers today. General Chao—"

Chao Hua and his companions had returned, and they were also stunned by the rain, fell to their knees, heard the call, and kneeled forward in the muddy water, "The last will be." ”

"Go and bring the list written down in Master Chao's book, and from now on, it will remain by my side."

"Yes." Chao Hua called a person, went with him to the council hall to carry the wooden door out, and stood respectfully behind the "emperor".

"Hooray!" The volunteers shouted in unison.

Han Ruzi knew that he would be able to keep these people for a while.

But the crisis has not been resolved, and when the call fades, Han Ruzi asked Chaohua: "What is the situation on the lake?" ”

Chao Hua replied very respectfully: "We scuttled a small boat, just in time for the rain, and the enemy retreated. ”

The rain didn't last long, and the Nanjunlou boat would come back soon, Han Ruzi ordered to set off, he didn't know where to go, he just wanted to leave the riverside village first.

Among the people, only the king of the East China Sea did not believe in the statement of the "True Dragon Son of Heaven", if God was really bless Han Ruzi, he would not let him abdicate and fall into such a ghost place.

He considered the question more realistically, and walked up to Han Ruzi in mud, "What are you going to do?" You can't count on God to help you. ”

Seeing the King of the East China Sea, Han Ruzi instead had an idea, "The southern army attacked the riverside village under the banner of the Chai family, which shows that you and I are not guilty of capital crimes." ”

"So what? Still have to die. ”

"Let's go to the Southern Army and the capital, ask Mrs. Cui and the Queen Mother to understand, and let the whole city know."

The King of the East China Sea was speechless, and after a while, he said, "Let's wait until you escape from the encirclement." ”

Several hundred-man teams acting as the vanguard had already walked out of the stockade, and suddenly shouted, as if they were encountering the enemy as soon as they went out, Han Ruzi was about to give the order to start a battle, and an excited voice came from the front, "Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother is back! ”

Jin Zhuidao is back, and he has brought a lot of people. (To be continued.) )
