Chapter Eighty-Four: Shoot the Thousand Households

Sure enough, not far from the lake, thirty or forty boats of all sizes followed, including two or three large river boats, many half-sized shuttles, and even slightly larger small sail sampans for fishing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The speed of the ship is extremely fast, more than half faster than the speed of Zhu Zhenguo's fleet full of "goods", and there are obviously people rowing with oars.

The big characters of the flag on the big ship are clearly visible: Shichong Mansion of Dajiang County

Zhu Zhenguo saw it clearly and understood, and swept away the loneliness before. Returned to the cabin and laughed: "Haha... The fish took the bait. ”

Zhu Qiang on the side also knew that the matter had succeeded, his face was happy, and he hurriedly asked, "Young Master, everything is going according to plan?" ”

Zhu Zhenguo nodded at Zhu Qiang, picked up the strong bow on the side and wiped the bowstring. It is already a military station registered by the imperial court, and this strong bow no longer needs to be hidden.

Several people in the rear fleet were also discussing in front of a large ship.

"Lord Zhong, ahead is the private salt ship in Jiangzhou." Yuan Daye came in person this time, and it was really not enough for the Nanshan faction to really fight, and Yuan Daye was not as relieved about others as before.

"Haha... Master Yuan, this time it will be done, and the matter of profit sharing will be done according to what I say. Zhong Ming already felt that he had been caught, and he was still thinking about sharing the spoils.

"What the adults said is, the old man is also a cheerful person." Although Yuan Daye's words are so, he is slanderous in his heart, and the fighting is done by his own people, and more than 100 people from these thousands of households come.

Although the armor, knives and guns are still elite, and the bow and crossbow are also sharp weapons, but few people really dare to come forward to fight.

"Haha... Yuan is refreshed. Zhong Ming was dressed in the Huaguang armor issued by the imperial court, standing tall and long at the bow of the ship, showing his momentum at this time, and he looked extraordinary.

After a while, the flotilla behind caught up with the flotilla in front that was not fast and deliberately slowed down.

Zhu Zhenguo arranged the fleet to surround them, and the lake was almost still on the water, Zhu Zhenguo also deliberately chose a good location, and then moved forward, close to the mouth of the river, and the boats couldn't stop if they wanted to stop under the action of the current.

Thirty or forty large and small ships from Shichong Mansion also surrounded them.

Chito Zhongming personally stood on the bow of the ship and shouted, "Where are you ships?" What kind of cargo is being shipped? ”

An older face from Zhujiazhuang stood at the bow of the boat and replied: "My lord, we are the Jiangzhou fleet, and we are transporting grain. ”

"Such a big battle to transport grain, but I think that this lord is so easy to dismiss, this official has only heard of transporting grain from the downstream to the lake, where is there a grain from the lake to the downstream, isn't this business going to lose all the capital? I'm afraid that there is no grain in this ship, but private salt! Qianhu Zhongming's words were full of anger.

What Zhong Ming said is also common sense, the lower reaches of the river and the lower reaches of the river are mainly rich production areas in the plains, and the price of grain is already low. It is normal to transport grain to be sold upstream, but to transport grain to be sold downstream is something that a fool will not do.

"My lord, there is really food in the boat, I don't believe that the lord sent someone to check it out," the man from Zhujiazhuang replied again.

"Send someone up? It's ridiculous, if you are taken advantage of by outlaw salt sellers like you, wouldn't you fall for your tricks, come on, shoot me! Qianhu Zhongming was willing to really send someone up to check, and he made up his mind that there must be private salt in the ship, so he directly ordered his subordinates to release arrows.

The people of Zhujiazhuang hurriedly took advantage of the boat gang to dodge, and Qianhu Zhongming also commanded the boat to approach slowly, obviously knowing that the arrows released by his soldiers were not very accurate, and it was the people of the Nanshan faction who really depended on it.

When the ship gradually approached, the people of the Nanshan faction stood at the bow of the boat with sharp knives in their hands, ready to wait for the ship to pass the test, and immediately jumped up and killed.

Zhu Zhenguo slowly watched the development of the situation through the hatch and window in the cabin, and when he saw the accuracy of the arrows of the soldiers below the thousand households, he had to laugh in his heart, at such a close distance, there were few arrows that really penetrated the hull.

Zhu Zhenguo saw this opportunity and shouted: "Do it!" ”

Suddenly, the people who were still hiding in Zhujiazhuang took out hard bows and quivers from various hidden places, and shot them with their bows.

I could only hear the humming of the bowstrings, and they all drew their longbows and shot. Zhu Zhenguo took Zhu Qiang and the others out of the cabin, where to wait, and the arrow flew out.

Zhu Zhenguo shouted: "Uncle Qiang, shoot those thousand households!" ”

Zhu Qiang was stunned when he heard this, and shot the orthodox Qianhu Lord of the imperial court, Zhu Qiang still hesitated, but he didn't dare, but as a Dahua citizen, he had a deep awe for the court officials, especially Zhu Qiang had also served as a border army, and he had more respect for the officers.

"Uncle Qiang, shoot fast!" Zhu Zhenguo saw Zhu Qiang's hesitation, and shouted even more.

I wish Qiang to come back to his senses, show his courage, and aim a little, and the long arrow will fly straight out. The arrow had flown out, but Zhu Qiang became nervous again.

That Zhong Ming didn't know that there were elite archers in the border army who were shooting at him with bows, and he was still standing up straight in high spirits, even if the weight of this armor was dozens of catties, Zhong Ming was still standing straight. I don't think these thieves can make any difference with a few broken bows, even if you are your own guard, no one in the army can shoot accurately.

"Ah" Suddenly, he heard a man from the Nanshan faction next to him screaming and fell to the ground, Zhong Ming looked back and saw that the man's chest had been pierced by arrows, and blood had oozed out.

Zhong Ming was suddenly startled, and just wanted to turn around to dodge, but the cold flashed, and a feather arrow had been nailed to Zhong Ming's chest, Zhong Ming fell to the ground, and shouted in fright: "Help me, save me." ”

Yuan Daye on the side was also stunned by this scene, this group of Jiangzhou people was so fierce, the disciples of his own faction were shot on their backs, and those who were not hit by the arrow also hid behind the boat gang.

Qianhu Zhong Ming was shot in the chest by an arrow, Yuan Daye came back to his senses, and hurriedly pulled this Zhong Ming, used all his strength, and pulled Zhong Ming into the back cabin in a few strokes.

Yuan Daye immediately checked Qianhu Zhongming's chest, there was already blood seeping out, and he was even more shocked, if this Qianhu died, not only would he have a protective umbrella, but the imperial court would not deal with it easily, and he was afraid that many things on this rich lake would be exposed.

"Hurt me!!" Zhong Ming breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly.

Yuan Daye was relieved, and hurriedly helped Zhong Ming to solve this cumbersome Huaguang armor, this kind of armor is said by officers in the border army, but it is more common, but it is rare to see it in this inland county, and there are only a dozen pairs of guards in a county.

Yuan Daye was in a hurry. Zhong Ming was so painful that he scolded loudly: "You old horseman, you can't untie your armor, and you don't bring a knife... ”

Yuan Daye hurriedly picked up the long knife that was placed on the ground on the side, made a cut at the armor, and cut the cowhide ropes on the breastplate one by one.

Yuan Daye lifted the heavy cuirass, which weighed more than ten catties, and even pulled out the arrows. The danger made these thousand households Zhong Ming faint in pain.

When I looked closely, it was okay, the arrow only penetrated the skin and slightly injured two ribs. It can be seen that the protective power of this Huaguang armor is really amazing, even if Zhu Qiang pulls a hard bow full of two stones, at such a close distance, it can only penetrate the armor and suffer a few minor injuries.

"Yuan Daye, go quickly, go and kill all these bandits with me, kill them all!" Zhong Ming is safe now, and he also knows that his injuries are fine, and the fright he received just now has gone a lot, and this time he has hated the person who shot him, and shouted Yuan Daye to take revenge.

Yuan Daye didn't have the heart to care about this thousand households at this time, Zhong Ming didn't give himself face, and called himself by his name. He took the knife and went out of the cabin.
