Chapter 169: On Arrows
There were already 10,000 corpses under the arrows of Duoyanwei and under the arrows and artillery fire of the Ming army, and they were almost all over a small part of the grassland. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And the remaining more than 5,000 pirates are fleeing in a hurry, trying to save their lives.
But at the same time, Chen Zuyi, who was in the midst of a sea of corpses, was still staring at the figure in the distance with his eyes, still guarding against the other party's arrow.
In fact, he actually knew very well in his heart that even if he defeated this Mongol, it would be impossible for him to escape.
Because Zheng He is still in the distance, he is eyeing the tiger, because in the fleet in the distance, there are still several powerful people who are preparing to attack.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to escape.
However, he had no choice.
He has been in struggle all the year round, and he has a high profile all the year round, and he will never allow himself to be caught.
Therefore, he has nothing but to fight.
However, just when his spirit and tension were at the extreme, just when he wanted to stab the flying sword on his chest without scruples at someone in the distance, he heard a loud 'bang' from a distance.
Although he was indeed worried about the other party's arrow, at the same time, the other party's arrow was also an opportunity and a relief for him.
Because at the same time as this loud noise sounded, his mind began to move.
So, I saw that the flying sword on his chest turned into a streamer of light in an instant, and it was carrying a loud buzzing sound, and it was striking away.
Then, the sound of a lifetime of sharp and high-pitched iron intersecting sounds.
It was already a flying sword that had turned into a streamer, and it was dead against the tip of the whirlpool of the black whirlwind.
And when the two converged, a ring of true qi surged beside the two soldiers.
This huge wave not only overturned the scattered crowd not far away, but even the arrows in the air like raindrops were blown away.
I have to say that the gap between each small realm above the three products is not so easy to overcome.
After all, Chen Zuyi's three-grade mid-level cultivation came from real cultivation.
So, when the tip of his flying sword stabbed into the black whirlwind. The wind had stopped spinning, revealing the body of the arrow, which was made of extremely hard black wood.
However, this arrow still couldn't stop the flying sword.
Because when the flying sword dissolved its wind, it also cut this arrow into two pieces by the way.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Chen Zuyi's face already showed a smile of relief.
He knew that once his flying sword flew out, he would have to kill.
And this flying sword, which has accompanied him for nearly half a hundred years, has killed 1,543 people for him.
He knew that this number was about to rise one place in the next moment.
But.
Just as Chen Zuyi's flying sword cut off the black arrow, he saw that in the treasure ship on the sea, a light-armored general with eyes like torches beside Zheng He's left hand also filled the longbow made of giant horns in his hand.
Then, when he released his tight right hand, he saw that a bright silver arrow made of stainless steel turned into a white light, and it was shooting towards Chen Zuyi, who was controlling the sword, with lightning speed.
And this white light rose from the sea and went to the grassland.
Everywhere the white light went, on the seashore below, it was as if it had been forcibly split in two, and countless snow-white waves appeared.
At this moment, on the surface of the sea, a straight wave tide was also born.
At the same time, just as the smile on Chen Zuyi's face was raised, there was a trace of bitterness in his smile.
Because he felt this earth-shattering arrow intent coming from behind him.
But he also knew that if he took back the flying sword at this time, it would be too late.
Therefore, he could only stab his sword into the distance with all his might. That's all he can do.
And just as the flying sword cut off the black arrow, the rugged man on the black horse in the distance was unmoved.
Because his second arrow, also at this moment, turned into a black line and shot straight at the person in the distance.
At this moment, I saw that on this grassland, two black and white lights were attacking from two different directions, towards the same target.
And this white light came first, followed by the black light, and the two shot through the pipa bones on Chen Zuyi's shoulders almost at the same time, in two directions, and shot this invincible emperor of the sea into a mountain of corpses beside him.
However, although the man who controlled the sword fell, the sword he flew out had already pierced deeply into the shoulder of the man on the horse, and knocked him to the ground.
ā¦ā¦ā¦
At this moment, Ma Shouyi, who was beside Zheng He's right hand, said in a deep voice after seeing such two arrows, "It seems that General Cao's arrow is still stronger than General Ba's arrow."
Mamorichi stood very close, so he could see clearly.
If Cao Ling hadn't sent out this sword, one step ahead of Chen Zuyi's flying sword, then I'm afraid that this flying sword would have pierced into Batu's chest, not his shoulder.
However, in response to Ma Shouyi's praise, Cao Ling, who was the commander of the Divine Arrow Battalion, shook his head and said in a deep voice, "If you stand still and fight, General Ba is not as good as me." And if it is a long attack on a horse, then I am not as good as General Ba. But no one can stand up and shoot at people on the battlefield, so General Ba is still better than me."
Yes, if it weren't for him being behind Chen Zuyi, and the other party would have no intention of caring for himself. Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to be able to shoot the opponent with an arrow.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
At this moment, the leader has fallen to the ground, and the remaining pirates, who were already a rabble, are under the scimitar of Duoyanwei, and each of them has turned into the soul of this place.
At the same time, on the other side of the sea, the more than 40 ships flying white flags finally burned all the black flag ships with the cooperation of the Ming army's artillery fire.
And this battle, which was already without suspense, was won.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..
Late at night.
The mellow moon rising from the sea is shining on this devastated grassland.
On the grassland, corpses are everywhere, and flies are surging.
Thousands of our soldiers were enduring such an unpleasant smell while struggling to lift the corpses underneath.
They knew very well that if tens of thousands of corpses were not disposed of, then they were afraid that in the near future, the plague would sweep across the entire Western Ocean.
At the same time, while these soldiers were carrying the corpses, Zheng He, who was dressed in civilian clothes, was led by the soldiers to the bottom of his treasure ship, that is, the floor where the important prisoners were held.
In the faint light of the fire, and led by the men in front of them, the men finally passed through a corridor and came to an iron prison made of stainless steel.
In the iron prison, the emperor of the sea, who once dominated the entire South China Sea, has been stripped of his clothes and handcuffed.
What's more, two huge chains were passing through the lute bones on both of his shoulders, and at the same time, his heart that wanted to escape was also locked.
Zheng He stood outside the iron prison and looked at each other.
It wasn't until a long time later, until the soldiers beside him had retreated, until only the two of them were left in this dark environment, that he said slowly.
"Four years ago, did you ever see a large number of ships of the imperial court going to sea?"
Chen Zuyi slowly raised his head, and forcibly squeezed out an ugly smile from his weak face before he said coldly.
"I know who you're looking for, I know you went to sea just to find Emperor Jianwen!"
He has many eyes and ears in this sea, so how could he not know the purpose of the imperial court's voyage to sea.
Zheng He nodded, nodded expressionlessly, and said calmly.
"Have you ever known the whereabouts of the first emperor?"
In fact, he already had the answer to the question he had raised.
However, he still wanted to confirm one thing from the other party's mouth.
"Hahahaha, Zhu Di's little son, not only robbed his nephew's country, but also killed them all at this moment!" Chen Zuyi didn't know why, and suddenly laughed out loud.
In the laughter, there was a hint of ridicule and a hint of disdain.
"Humph! The people of your court think that you are making a life for the common people, but what? You don't do anything cleaner with your master than I do! Think of the lives of those who died at your hands, think of their faces!! In fact, you are the real robbers, and I, a little pirate, are just stealing some gold and silver. But what about you, you have robbed other people's country, and you have to kill others! āć
Chen Zuyi's words became faster and faster, and the more he spoke, the more disdain on his face became. It was as if he were the one standing outside the iron prison, as if he was interrogating the prisoner.
Zheng He did not stop this person's words.
He knew that what the other party said, on a certain level, was not wrong.
Therefore, he did not open his mouth to refute.
Seeing this, Chen Zuyi thought that his words had touched the soul of the other party, so he continued.
"You want to know the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen? Hahaha, I won't tell you! You made me lose my things, then I will let Zhu Di's position as a child and do not do it steadily."
"Four years ago, it was true that a large number of imperial fleets crossed south, but even if I knew where these people went, I wouldn't tell you. Hahaha, not to mention that I don't know where these people go."
What he said was a mixed bag.
Really, he really didn't know the whereabouts of the first emperor.
If, it is that he did not see any imperial fleet go to sea four years ago.
But it didn't matter, because the important thing was that he wanted the entire court to always be afraid of the person they drove away. He wants Zhu Di to live in the shadow of his nephew for the rest of his life.
As soon as these words came out, Zheng He's blue eyes were quietly staring at the other party's old face.
His eyes seem to have a kind of magic, a magic that can see through the hearts of others.
He still didn't speak.
He just gave him one last look before turning around and leaving.
ā¦ā¦
He had already gotten the answer he wanted, and he was most satisfied.
In fact, if anyone was here, I am afraid that they would ask about the whereabouts of the first emperor in detail.
But.
He wouldn't do that.
Because he participated in the pursuit of this road alone, he knew better than anyone that the so-called Emperor Jianwen had never left the Central Plains.
But even so, he still made a suggestion to the person on the dragon chair to go to sea to find someone.
It wasn't because he wanted to find people, but simply because he wanted to go to sea, to reach the land where his fathers had been.
Therefore, when Chen Zuyi lied that Emperor Jianwen had gone to sea, this was the most satisfactory answer in his heart.
Because, he needs such a Jianwen Emperor, he needs such an enemy.
Otherwise, he would lose his meaning in the imperial court.
Otherwise, the imperial court will no longer need to go to sea to find people, then he will no longer be able to find the holy land in his heart.
Therefore, this is the answer he wants most.
