Chapter 5: Tanka (7)
"Zheng Ziming, you have no way to escape. It's better to fall into our hands than to fall into the hands of the fish-skinned man!" Yelu Huagri kicked the stirrup violently, and screamed as he chased the great ship that was slowly tilting and sinking.
"Zheng Ziming, surrender, you don't think about yourself, but also for your father, and for your brothers!" While chasing, he shouted orders to the middle of the river.
"Zheng Ziming, surrender, the most important hero of the Great Liao Emperor!" On both sides of the Liao River, countless soldiers persuaded in unison.
Fish skin and straw have lived in poor mountains and bad waters for generations, fighting caves, drinking blood, and in the eyes of most Khitan soldiers, they are out-and-out wilderness. And Zheng Ziming and his brothers can be regarded as real heroes. Therefore, at this moment, most of the Liao generals would rather give up their hatred and let Zheng Ziming join him with his brothers, rather than watch them die at the hands of the Alien Savages.
"Hmm!" Zheng Ziming gritted his teeth and let Tao Dachun and Zhou Xin burn the wound with a red-hot weapon to avoid dying of excessive blood loss. Although he himself doesn't know how long he can hold on.
Since the fight was taken away from the White Horse Temple in Wagang Mountain, after many battles, the number is not clear. There were also thirty or forty wounds, large and small. However, not once, he was completely in a desperate situation as he is now.
The big boat, already heavily flooded, began to tilt to the left. On the left side of the ship, flames rose, and melted butter flowed along the cracks in the roasted side. Wherever it passed, it carried flames to the other, allowing the shadow of death to quickly loom over the heads of everyone on deck.
"Zheng Ziming, you are a smart person, you should know that there are people in the south who don't want you to return to the Central Plains alive and betray your whereabouts to Da Liao! Jump into the water and swim over, I admire the warriors who are good at fighting the most! I personally go to ask His Majesty the Emperor to let him forgive all the mistakes of your father and son!" Seeing that the big ship would fall apart at any time, Zheng Ziming still did not listen to the advice, Yelu Hua Geli turned his heart sideways, and simply told him what he knew.
"Zheng Ziming, I am Yelu Cha Che, the king of Taining in the Great Liao, you have seen me, I can guarantee to His Majesty the Emperor that you will not die!" Ye Lu Cha also rode his horse and chased along the river bank, half-truths and half-truths. If Zheng Ziming can be subdued, there will undoubtedly be one more tiger general under his account. And Guo Wei's Great Zhou has one more mortal enemy.
"Zheng Ziming, you row the boat to the north shore, the north shore is closer. I, the Khitan East Road Army, made Yeludilie swear to the heavens to protect your father and son from death!" The officers and men of the Eastern Route Army, at the behest of their commanders, kept repeating the same oath. Compared with Han Kuangsi, a shameless man who kills women to seek glory, there is no doubt that Zheng Ziming, a good man who sacrificed himself to save his father, has more appetite for everyone.
"Fuck you, how can Han'er be a Liao dog!" replied to him with an angry shout. Zheng Ziming covered his scorched shoulders, staggered a few steps, and scolded at the riverbank.
"Fuck you, Han'er will never be a Liao dog!" Zhou Xin, Tao Yong, Li Shun and others, who were still a little dazed before, suddenly boosted their morale, opened their throats, and gave the enemy the final answer in unison.
Simply and with a roaring voice, with an extremely firm faith, along the wind on the river, it clearly reached the ears of the Khitan soldiers on both sides of the river.
The sound of persuasion stopped abruptly. The faces of Jerodiel, Jerodegri, and Jerodach were as red as if they had been slapped dozens of times. "Shoot him, shoot him, shoot him! Shoot this guy who doesn't know what to do!" someone shouted angrily, and after that, the locusts rained down.
The river was too windy, and all the feather arrows fell into the water halfway, and none of them made any contributions.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo......" The anxious horn sounded again, and Yelucha became angry and ashamed, and ordered someone to convey the final order with the horn, urging the fishskin stalker to break Zheng Ziming's body into ten thousand pieces.
"Junzi, help me push the starboard side of the crossbow to my side, and aim at the guy on the south bank who released cold arrows!" Zheng Ziming ignored the feathered arrows flying in the sky, gritted his teeth and ordered. The cold light in his eyes was like two steel knives, shooting through the thick smoke towards Han Kuangsi who was stunned on the shore.
"Hey!" Li Shun agreed in a low voice, and together with Li Biao and Tao Yong, he moved the ballista behind the side of the boat on the right.
"Others, prepare to fight!" Turning his head and glancing at the small boat on the river that was leaning like a mullet, Zheng Ziming continued to command in a deep voice. It was as if there were still tens of thousands of troops around him, and there was no panic on his face.
Since the day he left the White Horse Temple in Wagang Mountain, he has been playing hide and seek with death. Once, and again. Fate never seemed willing to let him live as he wished, and every time there was a ray of light in his life, he immediately forced him to the precipice.
In that case, let's fight hard. Death is death!
At least, he came, he fought, he found his relatives, he still has a group of chivalrous brothers by his side, he has never been lonely in his life!
"Wow gala hee hoo...... "Although the black lacquered boats of the fishskin stubble were small and slow, they blocked the entire river with their large numbers. Seeing the flaming ship getting closer and closer to them, they shouted excitedly and threw out the iron forks with ropes in their hands.
"Woo Woo T
......More than a dozen small boats blocking the north-north position in the middle of the river were directly overturned by the big boats. The fish-skinned people on the boat were hit and their tendons were broken and fractured, and the blood instantly stained the river red.
"Wow gala hee hee hee...... "The rest of the people turned a blind eye to the death of their companions. Continue to shout excitedly, struggling to pull the rope tight. Dozens of ropes quickly straightened, and the big boat, which had already lost control, shook and turned sideways in an instant, stopping in the middle of the river.
Li Shun and the others, who were trying to aim at the shore, were dodged and lost their target. After trying to regain his footing, he had to push the crossbow again and look for a suitable place to park it along the deck. Zhou Xin and Tao Dachun, bent down and picked up the steel knife, quickly ran to the side of the ship, and chopped along the side of the ship. "Click, click, click!" "click...... The ropes tied behind the iron forks were cut off by the two of them one after another, but more iron forks flew over and nailed the side of the ship, bringing more ropes, dense and uncut.
"Die!" Shi Chonggui picked up an iron fork that had fallen on the deck and threw it at a small leader who was about to climb the ship, and immediately stabbed him in the neck.
"Ah——!h On the nearby black lacquered boat, another small leader immediately jumped up, and without hesitation, he grabbed the fishskin rope tied to the bow of the boat, bit the short knife in his mouth, and alternated his hands.
"Die!" Guo Xin also picked up a throwing gun and threw it hard.
The second leader of the scab was thrown through his body, screaming and screaming. The third small leader stood up after the black lacquer boat, grabbed the fish skin rope with both hands, and moved alternately.
"Die, die!" The other Cangzhou warriors, quickly inspired, followed the example of Guo Xin and Shi Chonggui, picked up the weapons left by the Khitans from the deck, and smashed them on the head and face of the Moji warrior who was climbing the rope.
The upper body* and lower body of the sorrel warrior were only covered by a thin fish skin, and they were smashed like dumplings and fell into the water one after another. However, there were so many of them that they were knocked down and climbed up in a row.
"Wow, wow, wow, ah!" a Straw Elder, standing on the black lacquered ship, roared and shot feathered arrows.
In an instant, feathered arrows covered the sky. Guo Xin, who had just raised a throwing gun, couldn't dodge, and was instantly shot with more than 20 arrows all over his body, and he stumbled and fell with his eyes open.
"Wow, wow, wow, ah!" Elder Mo, who was standing on the black lacquer boat, screamed with his fists against his chest, inexplicably excited.
More feathered arrows flew onto the deck, forcing Shi Chonggui and the Cangzhou warriors to dodge to the cabin, and they were no longer able to stop the Mojie warriors from climbing the ship.
"Whoosh, whoosh!" On the deck, Zheng Ziming pulled the mechanism with one hand with red eyes, and the three crossbows fired in unison. The screaming Elder was shot into the air, and his body was torn apart.
"Wow, wow, wow, ah......" The rest of the warriors beat their chests, their eyes were red, and they held the horned bows given by the Khitans, and fired arrows at Zheng Ziming. Li Shun and Li Biao held a wooden plank for repairing the ship to protect their commander, and the three of them moved quickly, rolling into the smoke-emitting cabin before the plank was shattered by feather arrows.
In the cabin, Shi Chonggui stepped forward and hugged his son with both hands, tears raining down.
He is an ominous man, who has dragged down the whole country before, and now he wants to drag the only living son into the abyss of death.
"Shibo, I don't blame you, following Ziming is the luckiest thing in my life!" Tao Dachun knew the old man's thoughts, stepped forward and patted Shi Chonggui's shoulder with one hand, and then walked to the hatch with a spear.
"Shibo, if it weren't for the general, we would have to be farmers for the rest of our lives, either by the sword of the Khitans, or at the hands of the powerful and powerful. Li Shun also raised his hand, carefully patted Shi Chonggui's shoulder, and said with red eyes.
"The day I became a soldier, the general taught me one thing, a man can't be a dog!" Tao Yong never said much, but when he said it, he was loud.
"It's just a battle to the death!" Several other surviving Cangzhou warriors raised their swords to greet Zheng Ziming, and then walked quickly towards Tao Dachun, using it as the core to form a sharp attack array.
The Tassel Man had already climbed onto the deck, looking around for a target, and the smell of fish on his body made people want to gag.
"Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, ......wow,
The prey is already a fish on the board, so there is no hurry to go under the knife. According to tradition, at this moment, he first took the lead in thanking God.
"Wow, wow, wow, wow, w......ow, w
