The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 139 Acting School

Until the dawn of the sky, Dould didn't know how far he ran, but he could feel the condition of the army horse under his crotch, and he might not last long.

"Sir, here we are!"

Zheng Chenggong's words were like the sound of nature. Dude raised his eyes and looked at a small river with a width of [-] to [-] feet in front of him. There were eight or nine boats waiting on the bank.

He didn't need to worry about the horsepower any more, he pushed his mount desperately and ran straight towards the boat.

When they reached the shore, Dould's horse was already running out of strength, foaming at the mouth and trembling with hooves.

Zheng Chenggong helped him off the horse, ran to the nearest boat, turned around and shouted loudly to order the accompanying soldiers to hold back the pursuers.

Seeing this, Mu Teng'er quickly followed up. When he escaped from the Ming army camp just now, he took a knife by hand and was holding it in his hand at this time.He fixed his eyes on Zheng Chenggong, and only said that if this person had any unruly intentions towards Master Meilezhangjing, he would immediately step forward to save the Lord with a knife.

The responders on the boat had already untied the cables, and the pursuers behind them had also approached, and they all raised their guns to take aim.

Zheng Chenggong's men, together with more than a dozen Qing soldiers who were rescued along with Dould, immediately turned their horses and drew their weapons to charge at the Ming soldiers.

There was only a burst of gunshots, and immediately more than a dozen people turned over and fell off their horses.It's just that no one noticed that these people who were killed were all Durd's people, and Zheng Chenggong's personal soldiers were all safe and sound.

Immediately, someone shouted, "There are too many pursuers, run away!" These people turned around and ran to the boat without any hesitation.

These useless things!Du De looked back, cursing in his heart, but he knew that the Ming army had always been like this, and he had no choice but to continue to speed up the pace, seeing that the ferry was already more than ten steps away.

The Ming army let go of a round of guns behind them, and seeing that there was a river in front of them, they got off their horses one after another, took out gunpowder and lead bullets, and loaded them.

"My lord, get on board!"

"boom!"

As soon as Zheng Chenggong dragged Durde onto the boat, he suddenly heard another gunshot behind him, and saw two bullet holes the size of fists being blasted out of the boat shed beside him in an instant. At the same time, it flew up and scattered everywhere.

Durd stared blankly at the positions of the two bullet holes with his mouth wide open, one was between himself and Zheng Sen, and the other was a foot away from Zheng Sen's back heart!
In other words, as long as the row of guns just a little bit higher, it is very likely that he and Zheng Sen are both dead at this time.

Zheng Chenggong pushed him into the cabin, turned around and dragged in Mu Teng'er who was following him, and first shouted to the boatman: "Go!" Then he pressed the heads of Durd and Mu Teng'er hard, "Low down, watch out for the firecrackers!"

The boatman pushed hard on the river bank, and the boat slipped five or six feet away in an instant.The Ming soldiers on the shore reloaded their ammunition again, and immediately aimed at the boat and fired at it. A boatman standing on the bow screamed and "plopped" into the river, blood flowed all over the deck.

Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong immediately picked up an oar, walked a few steps to the place where the boatman was just now, and rowed vigorously.

When the boat reached the middle of the river, Dould estimated that he was out of the firing range of the Ming army's guns, so he quickly sat up and checked his whole body to make sure that there were no wounds, so he was relieved.

"My lord, are you okay..."

As soon as Mu Teng opened his mouth, Du De slapped him on the head, then pointed at Zheng Chenggong and shouted at him angrily: "Go, kowtow to Mr. Zheng to make amends! If there is no help from him, we will still be alive." ? You still suspect that Mr. Zheng is hooking up with the Southerners?!"

The two bullet holes just now stimulated Durd too much.He has fought for half his life, and he knows very well that the bird gun is not accurate at all.

Just now the Ming army was about 60 paces away from them. If you fired a blunderbuss at this distance, where the lead bullets would hit depends entirely on luck.

If Zheng Chenggong designed to deceive him, how could it be possible for those Ming soldiers who were acting to shoot guns at him? !One is not serious, no, it should be nine out of ten, those two lead bullets will kill him!

Everyone is dead, so what kind of tricks are you using?

Du De had already decided that Zheng Chenggong was trying his best to save him, and when he thought of Mu Teng'er's suspicious words on the road before, he immediately felt angry.

Mu Teng'er also thought of these things, hurriedly came to the bow of the boat, knelt down with a "plop", and kowtowed to Zheng Chenggong, "I'm a rough man, Mr. Zheng, don't know as much as I do."

Du De also came over, cupped his hands and said: "From now on, my Du De's life will belong to Brother Zheng, but I will never frown if I have orders!"

There was a slight smile on the corner of Zheng Chenggong's mouth, and he regained his composure immediately. He raised Mu Teng's forehead first, and then said to Du De: "Your Excellency, you are too serious..."

"Don't call me my lord, I'm falsely older than you, just call me big brother from now on." Durd laughed.

"Okay, big brother." Zheng Chenggong also laughed a few times along with him, "Zheng Sen voted for me at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and he had some quarrels with my father before, and now he has no foundation. From now on..."

Du De nodded in his heart, no wonder Zheng Sen would try his best to save me, and it turned out that he was also looking for a good backer.He patted Zheng Chenggong's shoulder vigorously, and said in a rough voice: "When the Fujian war is over, I will recommend you to join the flag, brother. I dare not say for sure, but a leader will definitely not be able to escape!"

Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed, "Thank you, brother!"

In fact, until now, he still had some fear in his heart, the two lead bullets just now were really mysterious!If King Chen hadn't told him that he was absolutely safe, he would never have dared to try such a dangerous strategy.But the facts proved that what Chen Wang said was true.

On the shore, Gan Xinda watched the small boats disappear from sight, and asked people to search the surrounding area to make sure that no fish slipped through the net, so he ordered to go back home.

He murmured in his heart that His Royal Highness Chen Wang was too careful.Even the hunters under him with ordinary marksmanship can hit a bowl-sized target at a distance of sixty paces with this type II hunting rifle.And he himself shot an egg at this distance without fail.

This is the terrible shooting accuracy of rifled guns!It completely surpasses the precision recognized by Dould et al.

But to be on the safe side, Chen Wang only let him shoot five inches away from Zheng Chenggong, and the others could only shoot one foot away.

If Gan Xinda said it, let the lead bullet pass against the Jianlu's nose, so that he would be scared out of his body!

In the camp of the Dragon Guards, the "corpses" of the Ming army who had been scattered all over stood up and wiped the chicken blood off their faces one after another.The few lying in front of Durd's eyes were struggling to remove the "knife marks" on their necks.

In the distance, hundreds of people gathered around several huge fires that were gradually extinguished, all carrying water in their hands, and the severe fire spread.In order to simulate the burning of food, grass and luggage, tens of thousands of catties of dead branches and weeds were piled up nearby and burned all night.

Only the cooks were a little displeased, looking at the dozen pieces of pork that had been cut in a mess, they kept shaking their heads, "Anyway, as long as there is the sound of pulling the flesh, can't it be chopped in one direction? Look at this mess... "

　Thanks: Wudu, the bad guys, Kurosaki Falcon for their generosity, I feel that my cold is more than half cured, thank you very much for your support!
