Chapter 29: Catching a Heavy Arrow
The generals were also shocked, thinking that at this moment, General Ma was either captured or died in the chaos, and appeared in the city unharmed? Still dressed like this, what's the matter?
"It's his subordinate Ma Shiyao." At this time, Ma Shiyao spoke, "Fang Liang, my subordinates have now taken refuge in Daming. ”
As soon as these words came out, like a time bomb going off, the thieves below were in a more violent commotion.
Ma Shiyao's move came too suddenly, after all, he is the second-in-command of Li Zicheng's left battalion, his full name is General Guoyi of the left battalion, who has followed Li Zicheng in the south and the north over the years, blocking the east and killing in the west, loyal to Li Zicheng, and won the trust of King Chuang, among the tens of thousands of soldiers in the left battalion, he is second only to Liu Fangliang in terms of status and influence, and slightly higher than Liu Rukui, the right mighty general.
Just two hours ago, he was still wounded, and swore that he would lead 3,000 men and horses to rush into the palace to kill the faint king, but now he said that he had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and this apostasy was too fast.
Who can accept you playing like this?
"What do you say...... You...... Ma Shiyao, do you say it again? ”
Liu Fangliang couldn't believe his ears, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, and at the same time, he rubbed his eyes to see if it was really Ma Shiyao.
As a result, there is nothing wrong with that.
"Fang Liang, you didn't read it wrong, and you didn't hear it wrong, your subordinates did defect and surrender to Daming. You and my brother have worked together for many years, so we can talk about everything. There are a few words from the bottom of my heart that I want to say to you and the brothers today, but can you listen to me? When Ma Shiyao said this, his face was a little feverish.
Ma Shiyao said, and planned to squeeze his eyes downward, handing over his eyes, and planning to send a signal to Liu Fangliang and others, hoping to be caught.
How can you endure the high distance of the dark city, how can anyone see it?
He didn't dare to be too obvious, and he was afraid that the Ming army would see the flaws, and the faint monarch Chongzhen was simply a demon, and he had to guard against it.
Therefore, he had to make a long story short, and even let Liu Fangliang deliberately scold him, it was better for him to show his flaws and not say it.
"Shut up! You scum...... Who calls you a brother? You betrayed King Chuang, took refuge in the faint king, betrayed your brother, and I slaughtered you! ”
Liu Fangliang had already been carried away by anger, and he couldn't suppress the fire for a long time, the more he scolded, the more ruthless he became, he took the bow and arrow, and pointed an arrow at Ma Shiyao at the head of the city, "Bastard, go and die!" ”
An armor-piercing arrow burst out of the air, and flew straight towards Ma Shiyao's door with a bang.
Armor-piercing arrows are heavy arrows, and the arrow cluster is a three-edged armor-piercing cone
, long range, high speed, but it requires a hard bow and strong arm strength to pull it apart, and it is generally used by generals.
Most of the common archers used light carved arrows or wolf's tooth arrows.
But there were also accidents, such as the Mongol cavalry, as well as the Manchu Tartars, these peoples on horseback, according to the needs and distance of the battlefield, heavy arrows and light arrows were arbitrarily changed.
Ma Shiyao at the head of the city had already seen this scene, and there was even a silver light flashing in his eyes, but he didn't dodge, closed his eyes and waited for death, at that moment he was disgusted and comforted, and would rather die under Liu Fangliang's arrow.
General Liu scolded me too right, I would rather not say what the faint monarch taught me, and I can't disturb the morale of the army, but this injustice will never be revealed......
Ma Shiyao didn't know that his refuge in Daming had already caused a fluctuation in the morale of the military.
But then Ma Shiyao was disappointed, the arrow did not penetrate the front door, and a gust of wind suddenly stopped at the front door, and there was an icy chill.
Ma Shiyao opened his eyes suddenly, and was suddenly shocked.
The sharp three-edged arrows froze at the door in front of him, and it was a large hand grasping the shaft of the arrow.
It is already extraordinary to be able to grasp the heavy arrows that suddenly fly in the night sky.
But the heat has to be mastered just right, if it is slowed down by one second, Ma Shiyao's brain will be opened.
In this way, it is not possible for ordinary people to do it.
In terms of martial arts, he Ma Shiyao is only a horse leader of the 3rd layer of the Body Refining Realm.
Ma Shiyao thought to himself, it seems that this faint monarch has to refine at least the 3rd or even 4th layer of force in the body realm!
In fact, he guessed all wrong, Chongzhen was refining the body realm at this time at the 5th layer.
No wonder Ma Shiyao was surprised, even the soldiers and generals around Chongzhen, as well as the Dashun army outside the city who saw this scene clearly, were all dumbfounded, Chongzhen's divine skills were unparalleled!
Next, Ma Shiyao was embarrassed again.
Because Chongzhen looked at him expressionlessly, "Don't be afraid, general, I am keeping you safe and sound, hurry up and say a few heartfelt words according to my will, your former thieves and brothers in the city are still waiting to listen!" ”
"Ah...... Shiyao obeyed...... "Ma Shiyao was a little unnatural, "Thank you Your Majesty for the rescue, otherwise Shiyao would have died in the city." ”
Ma Shiyao said this, which can be regarded as true and false.
He was grateful to Chongzhen from the bottom of his heart for coming to the rescue, after all, for everyone, life is only once. In any case, the life-saving grace is extraordinary.
What's more, Chongzhen, as an emperor, saved him twice in one day. But at this time, Ma Shiyao also had the intention of delaying time and thinking of countermeasures.
His heart was still on Liu Fangliang and Li Zicheng's side at this time.
Chongzhen smiled at him, and Ma Shiyao couldn't make any more excuses next, so he had to grit his teeth and shout to the city: "General Liu, brothers, the reason why Ma Shiyao surrendered to the Ming Dynasty is really because His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is wise and powerful, and it is beyond our ability to fight." The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has the virtue of a good life, he will capture us and not kill them, and let us atone for our sins, so the kindness is like recreation, so the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers have all taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty. If any of you are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the emperor will not blame the past, and those who are willing to go home are innocent and willing to serve the Ming Dynasty like us, and you will be allowed to make meritorious contributions. ”
Ma Shiyao finished shouting, and the Dashun army below was in a commotion again.
However, when these words came out of Ma Shiyao's mouth, it was no longer the military spirit that was floating, but the military spirit began to slacken.
