Chapter 68: Keeping the Word
Don't Timur wanted to use a few small boats to escort him this time, but after suffering several losses from the Red Turban Army, he kept an eye on it and quietly seconded ten Mengchong warships from Xiangyang Mansion to prevent accidents. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As expected, after a day of walking, there was no change at all, and when they arrived at Hongshi Gorge, the battleship was blocked by a group of small fishing boats.
"Hmph, since you're not afraid of death, let me go!"
When Don Timur saw that the bow of the ship was full of people with red turbans, he didn't understand, it was these red turban thieves again, and immediately sneered and ordered.
Liao Yongan was in a cold sweat at the moment, there was no intelligence at all that Nanyang Mansion still had Mengchong warships, fortunately, the Yuan army was only for the time being to shoot the living force of the Red Turban Army, not to charge, otherwise it would have rushed away from many fishing boats and ran away.
When Guo Tianjue and Miss Ma saw the Mengchong battleship, they understood that this time it was probably not good, and when they saw that a layer of fine sweat had appeared on Liao Yongan's forehead, Miss Ma hurriedly said: "General Liao, is there nothing to do?" β
When the whistle sounded just now, the various ships turned around from behind the mountain, and they were already exposed, and Liao Yongan had to harden his scalp, where did he think that the Yuan Bing's sailors were still equipped with crossbows, which was difficult to deal with.
Liao Yongan stared closely at the Yuan army's Mengchong battleship, and said calmly: "Miss, I'll let our people retreat back a little bit first, try to avoid casualties, you quickly ask Li Junshi, see if there is any good way?" β
Without further ado, Miss Ma hurriedly got on a fishing boat and rowed towards the fishing boat where Li Xingze and the others were.
Ignoring the puzzled crowd, when Miss Ma saw Li Xingze frowning, she guessed that he might see that the war was not going well, and was thinking about ideas, so she asked, "Didn't you think of it yet?" β
In fact, when the Yuan army began to fire crossbow arrows, Li Xingze noticed the huge gap between the two sides, many people in the Ming Sect still had bows and arrows in their hands, but compared with the powerful crossbow arrows, manpower was limited after all.
Li Xingze also shook his head helplessly, Miss Ma bit her lip in disappointment, now the Mingjiao people are suffering casualties, and they can't attack at all, she turned her head to look at the fishing boats that are constantly scattering and retreating, but the fishing boats can't stop the crossbow arrows at all, and many Mingjiao soldiers were shot overturned on the boat, and the water was bubbling blood.
Miss Ma's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, she couldn't imagine that Mingjiao would plant so many people this time, just when she couldn't help but shed tears, Li Xingze suddenly shouted: "Got it? β
Miss Ma quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeve and quickly asked, "What way?" β
"Fire"
Speaking of which, Li Xingze also thought temporarily, whether it is a battleship or a fishing boat, it is made of wood, and at this moment, the long-range attack is obviously inferior to the Yuan army, and the target of the battleship is so big, you might as well use fire, maybe there is still a chance.
"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Speaking of this, everyone regretted how they didn't expect such a simple thing for a while.
And Miss Ma broke into tears and hugged her fists and said, "Thank you Li Junshi!" With that, he jumped onto the fishing boat and ordered to get to Liao Yongan quickly.
Don't look at what he said, Li Xingze is also beating the drum in his heart at the moment, it's such a big ship, I don't know if the fire attack will work in the end, after all, it is such a big ship.
In fact, Li Xingze didn't understand, oil and bows and arrows are essential items for the navy, when Liao Yongan gave the order, hundreds of small fishing boats rowed back, and smeared the arrows with fire oil in the cabin, ignited and shot towards the battleship.
Don't Timur was still wondering why these Red Turban Army men were not afraid of death, and surrounded them again, and just as he was giving the order to continue shooting, he suddenly saw many Red Turban soldiers on fishing boats shooting rockets over.
"Not good!"
Don't Timur hurriedly beckoned all the warships to allocate some manpower to quickly extinguish the fire, and the other part continued to shoot arrows at the Red Turban Army.
After all, the manpower is limited, and there are many people who can't stand the Red Turban Army, and the small fishing boats are getting closer and closer, and the Yuan Army has to divide too many people to extinguish the fire.
Of the ten warships, only a few are currently in good control, and the others are already on fire.
I didn't expect that these red turban thieves would make such a big move for a Pingzhang monk, they were just like maggots on tarsal bones, their tails couldn't fall off, and they fought hard with the Yuan army one after another.
Don't Timur didn't care about commanding the chaotic Yuan army, entered the cabin, grabbed the collar of the monk Pingzhang fiercely, and said angrily: "What is the relationship between you and the Red Turban Army?" β
When Monk Pingzhang saw the panicked Don Timur, he said with a hint of sarcasm in his seemingly calm eyes: "Don't make a mistake general, I'm specially sent by the prime minister, and I'm not a red turban thief!" β
Although Timur was flustered, his brain was not messed up, Monk Pingzhang was not a member of the Red Turban Army, so he was a powerful person in the court, and the Red Turban Army wanted to catch him and get some benefits.
Thinking of this, Don't Timur looked at the monk Pingzhang who didn't panic in the slightest, and sneered sinisterly: "Since the Red Turban Army wants you, I'll give you to them!" β
What does this mean, Monk Pingzhang knows, don't Timur don't think about it so well, maybe he is holding back something bad, Monk Pingzhang immediately said angrily: "General Timur, the old man is a court official, he was bullied like this by your father and son, when the old man returns to the capital, he must talk to the prime minister!" β
"Say?"
Don't Timur was stunned, instantly held back his red face and laughed, and said hideously: "Let Nanyang Mansion be your final destination!" With that, the tightly bound monk Pingzhang was pushed out of the cabin.
Although the Mengchong battleship is fast, but at present, there is a shortage of manpower, compared to these small fishing boats, after all, it is still a little slower, with the huge hull and the hardness of the battleship's skin, it is not a problem to break through, but it is even more difficult to be caught up.
Don't Timur, who had made up his mind, put his waist knife across the neck of Monk Pingzhang and stood proudly in the bow of the boat.
Gradually, the shouting and killing stopped, and almost everyone could see Timur's movements, and the Yuan army saw that the Red Turban Army stopped, although he didn't understand what his general was doing, but he also stopped, but everyone looked nervous.
At this moment, except for the sound of the murmuring water of the White River, the entire Hongshi Gorge was quiet, and the Red Turban Army knew that the monk Pingzhang who was held by Timur's neck was the target of this rescue, and they didn't dare to shoot arrows anymore when they saw this.
"Tell Li Xingze to come out and see me!"
Don't Timur didn't dare to do anything when he saw the Red Turban Army, and he couldn't imagine that he guessed in his heart that it was true, and Monk Pingzhang must have something to do with the Red Turban Army, so he roared loudly.
Although the distance was quite far, the roar of Timur came from the quiet river valley, and Li Xingze could still hear it clearly, and he couldn't help but wonder what he was doing.
Li Xingze didn't say anything, but Zhao Pusheng stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Senior nephew, don't go over, maybe the Yuan army has some conspiracy?" β
At this time, the other party will call himself, looking from a distance, probably other Timur, if he does not go at this time, it will not make people laugh.
Although Li Xingze was scared in his heart, he thought of the confrontation between the two armies and the dialogue between the main generals, which was quite a thing, so he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, shook his head and rejected Zhao Pusheng's proposal, and ordered his subordinates to row the boat over.
Miss Ma had the intention to stop Li Xingze from going over, but Don't Timur had already put the knife on the neck of Monk Pingzhang, and at this moment they couldn't call the shots, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Li Xingze who was standing at the bow of the boat, for fear that he would have any accidents.
When it was closer, Don't Timur saw the person in the middle of the bow station, and the slightly naΓ―ve face was Li Xingze, and he would never forget that he almost died under his own gun in a battle at the gate of Nanyang City that day.
As for the Taoist priest who was guarding him, he was also quite impressed by Timur, knowing that with such a strong martial artist by his side, even at this distance, he couldn't shoot Li Xingze.
Don't Timur sneered and shouted: "Li Xingze, let's make a deal, don't you want Monk Pingzhang?" Just let us go, and this man will be yours!" β
I didn't expect it to be so easy, at this time, both the Yuan Army and the Red Turban Army couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, if they continue to fight like this, if they lose their lives, it will be their own, and no one will feel distressed.
For the time being, he can't see any conspiracy against Muer, Li Xingze feels that it won't be so easy, but at this time, he can't help but disagree, and can't help shouting: "I hope you keep your word!" After shouting, he immediately waved his hand to let a fishing boat come forward to save Monk Pingzhang.
Hmph, there is faith in your words, you fool the devil, don't Timur didn't listen to Li Xingze's words at all, for him, the two armies are fighting, fighting for life and death, there is no faith at all.
Seeing that the fishing boats of the Red Turban Army were getting closer and closer, although Monk Pingzhang still suspected Timur's intentions just now, he couldn't imagine that Timur would really exchange him, and he couldn't help but get excited when he thought that he would be free.
At this time, the fishing boat had already leaned in front of Don Timur's battleship, but who knows, the knife that Timur had put on the neck of Monk Pingzhang did not put down, and raised his head towards Li Xingze.
This guy is really afraid that I won't let him go, Li Xingze doesn't have so many twists and turns, and he just ends his thoughts quickly, and in desperation, he gestures to Liao Yongan in the rear.
Liao Yongan was about to explain to his subordinates to get out of the way of the warship of the Yuan army in the direction of Nanyang Mansion, when Guo Tianjue suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Second brother, who are you?"
Miss Ma was puzzled, and even Liao Yongan was stunned, could it be that the second son did not agree to this exchange.
Li Xingze, Zhang Junbao, Zhao Pusheng and others' ships are not too far away from the Mengchong battleship where Timur is located, and it is estimated that a round of crossbow arrows can tie the ship into a hedgehog.
"We can't hear what they say!"
This is not nonsense, the voices of the two people shouting are not low, and they have been transmitted, how can they not hear it.
However, Miss Ma understood in an instant, and her face suddenly turned pale.
