The time of tense moments always passes so slowly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the coast, the pirates on the edge of the steppe with arrows and bows have already focused their attention to the extreme, and they are waiting for the order of the eldest brother.

As long as the eldest brother gives an order, then they will shoot the arrows in their own baskets without mercy.

But at this moment, when Zheng He's ship was slowly sailing to the shore and there were still two hundred steps to go, Chen Zuyi, who was riding a white horse, suddenly saw something incredible to him.

Because, not only did he see dozens of huge steel anchors, but they were being thrown to the surface of the sea by the other party's crew. Moreover, he also saw that all the soldiers who had no weapons in their hands actually lowered their bodies and lifted the longbows hidden on the deck.

This scene really surprised this great pirate who has been galloping in the sea for decades.

He was so shocked that he didn't even know what to say for a moment.

He suddenly remembered something that frightened him, and he remembered the sound of the trumpet.

He did find out the secret about the sound of the Ming army's battle horn from the mouth of the Ming army.

At this time, he was thinking that even if he could find out the secret, the other party could also change the law of the horn sound, so as to confuse an opponent like him.

It wasn't until a moment later, when the Ming army's fleet had stopped moving forward, and until all the soldiers in the fleet were already full of bowstrings, that the invincible pirate reacted and shouted angrily directly at the brothers beside him.

"Shoot !!".

However, this order was given too late.

Because just as he roared, he saw the sky in front of him, and suddenly a large dark cloud appeared.

After a closer look, I found that this large area of dark clouds was actually composed of black arrows.

In fact, a hundred steps away, ordinary people's eyes are already difficult to distinguish subtle things.

Therefore, these people on the coast could not see the movement of the fleet in the distance.

And on the coast, except for Chen Zuyi and a few others who have some cultivation, most people don't know what the Ming military has done

In addition, Zheng He deliberately created such an illusion to blind Chen Zuyi's eyes.

Therefore, when the sky was full of arrows, the sky was darkened, and a part of the people on the coast reluctantly reacted, and hurriedly shot the arrows in their hands towards the fleet in the distance.

It's just that what they have done has been in vain.

Because the black clouds had overwhelmed the realm, and there was a loud thunderous sound.

"Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh"

"Whoosh Whoosh"

Countless black arrows, like the scythe of the soul seducer, are mercilessly harvesting the lives of pirates.

Some black arrows, passing through their eyeballs, shot out of the back of their heads.

Some black arrows entered their chests and nailed them to the bottom of the green grassland.

Some black arrows pierced their thighs, rendering them unable to move, and waiting for the next round of harvest.

"Ahhh Eldest brother! They deceive! They have long seen our plot! ”。 A man who had been shot through the arm, shouted.

At this moment, Chen Zuyi, who was riding a white horse, had a smile on his face that had long since disappeared.

In his eyes, the killing intent was fully revealed.

So, without hesitation, he took out the ringing arrow from his waist, held it directly above his head, and pulled it off.

Then, I saw a sky-high fire shining with countless bright lights, and with a "chirp", it jumped directly into the sky.

Immediately afterward, when the fire in the air reached a certain height, only a 'boom' sound was heard.

Finally, the firelight illuminates the gray sky.

However, Chen Zuyi, who was on the white horse, did not make any other moves after pulling towards the arrow. Instead, he regrouped and commanded his brothers to fire arrows at the ships in the distance.

At this moment, looking at the brothers not far away, dead and wounded, Chen Zuyi's eyelids have begun to beat unconsciously.

Obviously, the first round of arrows sent by the other party had already made him a little painful.

You must know that the total number of people and horses he left on the shore is only more than 15,000.

But the opponent's first round of arrows had already nearly harvested the lives of more than 1,000 of his men.

So, how can he bear it.

…………..

At the same time, Zheng He, who was standing on the bow of the boat, had the firmness in his eyes, as usual, and never wavered in the slightest.

And the soldiers around him, like his siblings, received and carried out his orders with great precision, without the slightest panic on the shore.

In fact, the ships of the Ming army were originally stopped at a distance of 200 paces from the coast, so this was already within the effective range of the disengaged opponent.

It is precisely because of this that most of the arrows and feathers that were fired from the other side have already been shot into this vast sea. Only a small fraction of the arrows were fired into the fleet.

It's just that the arrows that have lost their strength and accuracy can't cause any damage to this Ming King. I saw that the soldiers didn't need to dodge, just a little block, it was enough to block the attacking arrows.

As a result, the situation has become one-sided.

The arrows fired from the other side were not lethal, but the arrows shot from the well-equipped archers of the Ming army had a range of more than 200 paces, and they were ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the other party.

Under the trade-off, the victory or defeat seems to depend on time.

However, at this moment, just as Shi Wuwei was paying attention to his every move on the other side, Mu Yiyi exclaimed, "Senior brother, look at the back!" ”。

As soon as these words came out, Shi Wuwei immediately turned his head and looked at the rear of the fleet.

"Huh? It is".

There was a hesitation in my heart.

Because, he saw a large number of ships coming towards the rear of the fleet.

As far as the eye can see, there are so many ships that they are already encircling our ships.

He saw the bows of these ships, with black flags erected.

Some of these flags have the same design, while others are different.

Obviously, these should all be pirates who don't belong to the same faction.

"It seems that in order to deal with the Daming Sailor, this Chen Zuyi actually united all the thieves in the sea." Shi Wuwei said in a deep voice.

He had to admit that this thief who galloped the sea did have real skills.

Otherwise, how could so many pirates be at their disposal?

"Senior brother, the sound of the arrow that was shot just now should be the signal for him to launch a general attack!" Mu Yiyi said loudly.

In fact, if only these deployments were made at the coastal ports, they would not be able to stop the offensive of our army at all.

And for this, even if Chen Zuyi is stupid, he should be able to see it.

Therefore, he united all the pirates in the entire sea area and formed an encirclement of the Ming army, so that the Ming army had nowhere to go and nowhere to hide.

…..

A moment later, the black crushing ships were already very close, very close to the fleet.

Close enough to be only a hundred paces, close enough to cover the entire fleet with arrows.

Looking around, it is roughly estimated that there are almost more than 300 ships around here.

However, the size of these ships was not as large as that of the Ming army, and most of them were even converted from ordinary merchant ships or large fishing boats.

Therefore, the number of people on board is not too much.

However, just as the ships approached the sixty-three huge ships on the sea, they saw that the light on these ships suddenly appeared like a starry fire.

And when this large piece of firelight appeared, Shi Wuwei shouted 'not good' in his heart.

He was aware of the gravity of the situation.

He had only planned to watch the whole battle from the sidelines, but when he saw the fire surging in the distance, he knew that he was going to strike no matter what.

Because these starry fires are the rockets that the enemy will emit.

He knew very well that the other party was going to use fire to burn all the ships of the Ming army.

And once the people on the ship lose their foothold, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, just when Shi Wuwei's worries reached its peak, there was a horn sound next to his ears.

"Woo~~~Woo~~~".

And with the arrival of this horn, there was a sudden sound of countless artillery fire.

The sound was so loud that it could be described as deafening, even if he had reached the peak of the second grade in cultivation, he only felt a buzzing sound in his ears.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom".

At this moment, Shi Wuwei's eyes were already wide.

Because, he saw countless cannons like fire dragons, which were smashing towards the ships not far away, which had become encircled.

And under this artillery fire, the ships in the distance seemed so small and vulnerable.

Mu Yiyi saw that his senior brother was shocked, so he spoke.

"This is the Hongwu cannon, a large firearm developed by Emperor Taizu when he was alive. It's just that I didn't expect Lord Zheng's fleet to be equipped with such a large number of artillery. Senior brother, it is said that even if you are a cultivator of the three grades, if you eat a shot at close range, I am afraid that you will be seriously injured."

Shi Wuwei nodded stunned.

Because when he saw this legendary Hongwu cannon with his own eyes, he would never deny that this cannon fire was indeed powerful enough to seriously injure the Sanpin monks.
