Chapter 157: Acting School

Until the sky was slightly bright, Durd didn't know how far to run, but he could feel the situation of the military horse under his crotch, and he was afraid that it would not last long.

"Your Excellency, it's here!"

Zheng Chenggong's words were just like this, and Durd raised his eyes to see a small river twenty or thirty zhang wide in front of him, and it was vaguely seen that there was still a ** boat waiting on the shore.

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

By the time they reached the shore, Durd's horse was already running out of strength, foaming at the mouth and trembling with its hooves.

Zheng Chenggong helped him dismount, ran to the nearest boat, and turned around and shouted to order his entourage to drag the pursuers.

Seeing this, Mu Teng also quickly followed, and when he escaped from the Ming army camp, he also copied a knife in his hand, and he was carrying it in his hand at this time. His eyes were fixed on Zheng Chenggong, and he only said that if this person had ill intentions towards Lord Meler Zhangjing, he would immediately step forward to savior him.

The people on the ship had already untied the cables, and the pursuers behind them had also approached, and they all raised their bird guns to aim.

Zheng Chenggong's men, together with the more than a dozen Qing soldiers who were rescued with Durd, immediately turned their horses' heads and drew their blades to rush towards the Ming army.

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

Suddenly, someone shouted, "There are too many chasing soldiers, run!" Without hesitation, the men turned and ran toward the boat.

This bunch of useless things! Durd glanced back and cursed in his heart, but he knew that the Ming army had always been like this, and there was no other way but to continue to speed up, and he saw that the ferry was already more than ten steps away.

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

"My lord, get on board!"

"Bang!"

As soon as Zheng Chenggong dragged Durd onto the boat, he suddenly heard another bang behind him, only to see two fist-sized bullet holes on the boat shed beside him instantly, and the wood chips that collapsed and the frightened waterfowl on the opposite shore flew up at the same time, scattering everywhere.

Durd stared at the location of the two bullet holes with his mouth open, one between himself and Zheng Sen, and the other a foot away from Zheng Sen's heart!

In other words, as long as the row of guns just now is slightly higher, it is likely that he and Zheng Sen are both dead at this time.

Zheng Chenggong pushed him into the cabin, turned around and dragged Mu Teng who came with him in, and shouted to the boatman first: "Hurry up!" He pressed down the heads of Durde and Mu Teng, "Bow down, watch out for the fire!" ”

The boatman pushed the river bank hard, and the boat slid five or six feet away in an instant. The Ming soldiers on the shore loaded their ammunition again, and immediately aimed at the boat, and one of the boatmen standing on the bow of the boat screamed miserably, "plopped" and fell into the river, blood flowing all over the deck.

Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong immediately picked up an oar, walked to the position where the boatman just now was, and rowed hard.

When the boat reached the center of the river, Durd estimated that he was out of the range of the Ming army's guns, and hurriedly sat up, checked his body up and down, and confirmed that there were no wounds, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Excellency, are you alright......?"

As soon as Mu Teng's forehead opened his mouth, Durde slapped him on the head, and then pointed at Zheng Chenggong and shouted angrily at him: "Go, kowtow to Zheng Gongzi to make amends!" If he hadn't rescued him, where would you and I still have our lives? You still suspect that Zheng Gongzi is colluding with the southerners?! ”

Those two bullet holes just now were too much of a stimulus to Durd. He had fought for half his life, and he knew very well that the bird was not accurate at all.

The Ming army was about sixty paces away from them, and if they put a gun at this distance, where the lead bullet would hit was completely a matter of luck.

If Zheng Chenggong was designing to deceive him, how could he let those Ming soldiers who were acting aim at him?! One is not much, no, it should be ten **, those two lead bullets will kill him!

When all the men are dead, what tricks do they have?

Durd had already decided that Zheng Chenggong was desperately trying to save him, and when he remembered Mu Teng's suspicious words on the road before, his heart immediately felt a burst of anger.

Mu Teng'e also thought of this, hurriedly took a few steps to the bow of the boat, knelt down with a "plop", and gave Zheng Chenggong a knock, "I am a rough man, Zheng Gongzi Mo is like me." ”

Durde also walked over and arched his hand: "In the future, my Durde's life will be Brother Zheng's, but there is an order, I will never frown!" ”

The corners of Zheng Chenggong's mouth hooked up a light smile, and then he regained his composure, first lifted Mu Teng's forehead, and then said to Durd: "Your Excellency is serious......

"Don't call me an adult, I'll be a few years older than you, and I'll call me big brother in the future." Durd laughed.

"Okay, big brother." Zheng Chenggong also laughed a few times with him, "Zheng Sen first voted for me in the Qing Dynasty, and he had some disagreements with my father before, but now it can be said that he has no foundation, and he will ...... in the future."

Durd nodded in his heart, no wonder Zheng Sen would try his best to save me, it turned out that he was also looking for a good backer. He patted Zheng Chenggong on the shoulder vigorously and said in a rough voice: "When the war in Fujian is over, I will protect you as a brother." The leader doesn't dare to say absolutely, but a leader can't run! ”

Zheng Chenggong immediately looked overjoyed, "Thank you, big brother!" ”

In fact, until this time, he was still a little afraid in his heart, those two lead bullets just now were really mysterious! If it weren't for King Chen's absolute safety, he wouldn't have dared to try such a dangerous strategy. However, it turns out that what Chen Wang said is true.

On the shore, Gan Xinda watched the boats disappear from view, and asked people to search the vicinity to make sure that there were no fish that slipped through the net, and then ordered to go home.

He muttered in his heart that His Royal Highness King Chen was too careful. Even his chasseurs with ordinary marksmanship can shoot at a target the size of a bowl at a distance of sixty paces with this type II hunting gun. And he himself was sure to shoot an egg at this distance.

This is the terrible shooting accuracy of rifled guns! Completely beyond the precision of the perception of Durd and others.

But for the sake of safety, Chen Wang only let him shoot five inches away from Zheng Chenggong, and the others could only shoot one foot away.

If he Gan Xinda said, let the lead bullet stick to the nose of the Jianyu, and scare him out of the body!

In the camp of the Dragon Guard, the "corpses" of the Ming army that had been scattered everywhere before all stood up and wiped the chicken blood off their faces. Those lying in front of Durde's eyes were laboriously removing the "knife marks" attached to their necks.

In the distance, hundreds of people surrounded several huge fires that had been gradually extinguished, all with water in their hands, and the fire spread violently. In order to simulate the burning of grain and grass, tens of thousands of catties of dead branches and weeds were piled up near here, and they were burned overnight.

Only the men were a little displeased, looking at the dozen or so pork that had been chopped in a mess, and shook their heads incessantly, "Anyway, as long as there is the sound of scratching the skin and meat, can't you chop it in one direction?" Look at this ......."
