Chapter 1872 The Gloomy Chen Dong
The fire in the woods has not been extinguished, the smoke is still thick and the fire is raging, but the sea of fire in the rolling river has been extinguished.
The river was in a mess, with broken boats and sails floating up and down in the surging river, as well as countless corpses of Japanese pirates.
There were so many corpses of Japanese pirates, plus the broken sails of burned boats, that the river was somewhat blocked, and the river seemed to be unable to flow.
There were many Japanese pirate corpses pushed to the shore by the waves. They were all white and swollen from the water, and they looked hideous and terrifying.
嘘嘚嘚.
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and soon the Zhejiang army, neatly dressed in cotton armor, appeared in the field of vision, galloping eastward along the river bank.
"There is a bridge seven miles east. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese pirates will definitely cross the river through this bridge. According to the distance traveled, the Japanese pirates may not have arrived yet. Brothers, please work harder to catch up with the Japanese pirates before they cross the river, and then send them away. They have a trip..."
Zhu Pingan drove his horse and galloped, turning his head to encourage the Zhejiang Army soldiers behind him.
"Nuo, catch up with them and give them a ride." The officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army were in high morale and responded loudly, galloping on their horses.
Today's consecutive victories have made the Zhejiang army's morale skyrocketing.
Running all the way, the bridge in the distance has come into view, and the Japanese pirates near the bridge have also come into view.
The Japanese pirates had just arrived at the bridge and were crossing the river.
This bridge is not big. It is a wooden bridge structure. The bridge body is more than ten meters long and the bridge width is about two meters.
"Damn it, Ming Gou is really haunted, and he's chasing me again."
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, the Zhejiang Army is coming. If you don't hurry up, you will be left behind by the Zhejiang Army."
"Baga, whoever blocks the road will die."
"Brother, I'm sorry, please go down to the river to cool off for a while."
"Damn it, who the hell lifted me up and let me down, hey hey hey, I asked you to put me down, not to throw me down, you bitch stop it, I can't swim, don't, don't ,ah"
A group of Japanese pirates saw the Zhejiang army catching up from a distance, and the scene suddenly panicked. You were anxious and I supported you, you pushed me and blocked you. In order to compete for the opportunity to be the first to cross the river through the bridge, they did not hesitate to fight and pushed down their good Japanese friends from the year before. river
At the critical moment, Xu Hai and Maye were naturally the first to cross the river through the bridge under the protection of their own soldiers.
The other Japanese pirates fought for each other, refusing to give in to each other. It didn't matter whether you were a small boss or a big boss at the moment of life and death. Crossing the bridge all depended on your strength and fists.
At this time, no Japanese pirates were showing off their style. If I gave in, I might never be able to cross the river.
The evil stars of the Zhejiang Army will come over immediately. If you are too late to cross the river, you may be torn into pieces by the Zhejiang Army.
Some Japanese pirates were so fierce that in order to cross the river, they threw down three Japanese pirates that were blocking the way.
Some Japanese pirates were not strong enough individually, so they gathered in groups of three or five and worked together to fight and kick a bloody path on the bridge.
The scene was in chaos.
From time to time, Japanese pirates screamed and were pushed from the bridge into the river. Of course, more often they were thrown into the river.
The bridge is in chaos, and the bridge head is a hundred times more chaotic. How wide and long is the bridge? Only a few Japanese pirates can squeeze onto the bridge. More Japanese pirates are still squeezing under the bridge and onto the bridge. The land at the bridge head is even more fiercely contested. center.
In order to get on the bridge and cross the river, the Japanese pirates huddled together and fought under the bridge. They drew their swords at each other much more frequently than on the bridge. Their brains were knocked out, and the ground under their feet was soaked in blood and mud.
Xu Hai, who had broken his leg, was supported by two soldiers and looked at the messed up bridge with a gloomy look on his face.
It is reasonable for him to move forward with the support of two personal soldiers, so his speed is naturally much slower than that of ordinary Japanese pirates.
On the way to escape, Xu Hai and Maye only focused on escaping first and didn't even think about taking care of Chen Dong.
In other words, I thought about it, but deliberately ignored Chen Dong.
After Chen Dong broke his leg, due to the alliance's sake, they were embarrassed to attack their allies in order to avoid infamy. This was not conducive to their control of the Japanese crown in the alliance, but they were absolutely willing to use the Ming army's sword to kill people.
With one less leader in the alliance, there will be one less person to share power. Xu Hai and Maye can divide up Chen Dong's tribe openly, just like they divided up the Japanese pirates under Hojo Dosan. In the future, they will be the Tuolin Japanese pirate alliance. The final say.
In fact, not only Xu Hai and Maye ignored Chen Dong, but also the Japanese pirates who were fleeing for their lives, including the Japanese pirates under Chen Dong's own command. Except for the two soldiers who supported him, no one took care of him.
When Chen Dong escaped from the fire, there were more than ten soldiers following him, but they fled and rebelled all the way, and now only these two soldiers are left.
Japanese pirates are inherently shameless and unjust people who are bound by profit and are not very loyal to their leader.
This was a critical moment of life and death. If they escaped with Chen Dong who had a broken leg, they would be implicated and left behind. If they were caught up by the Zhejiang Army, they would be dead.
Don’t die as a Taoist friend who is a poor Taoist.
Therefore, the Japanese pirates under Chen Dong's command also all ran away for their lives, and no one cared about Chen Dong's life or death.
Only the two soldiers who rescued Chen Dong from the sea of fire continued to support Chen Dong and move forward with difficulty.
They are Chen Dong's township party and are related by relatives. Compared with ordinary Japanese pirates, they are much more loyal to Chen Dong.
By the time they arrived at the wooden bridge, Xu Hai and Maye had already reached the other side of the river, fighting in a ball on and off the bridge.
"You bastard in front, get out of the way. Get out of my way. Chief Chen is still behind you. Why don't you quickly make way for me!"
"You are looking for death! Didn't you see that Chief Chen is behind you? Get out of here quickly! You can't rebel if you want to!"
The two soldiers carried the lame Chen Dong and pushed forward several times, trying to get on the bridge and cross the river. However, they were all squeezed out in disgrace and embarrassment before taking two steps, and they yelled madly behind him in anger. .
However, no matter how fiercely they scolded them, it was of no use. No one picked them up, so they continued to fight against each other.
The Zhejiang army is already chasing them. If you fall behind at this time, you will die. Who cares whether you are the leader or not.
As the Zhejiang army's cavalry approached, the Japanese pirates became even more crazy, pushing forward desperately and drawing swords to fight for the road.
"I'm sorry, chief. I still have a seventy-year-old mother and a three-year-old baby at home. I'll leave first."
A soldier who was supporting Chen Dong looked at the Zhejiang Army's pursuit that was getting closer and closer. He collapsed mentally, dropped Chen Dong and ran away.
"Damn it, Wang Er, you traitor, how dare you leave the leader and run away. Your special mother's orphan is not married yet. How can a seventy-year-old mother and a three-year-old baby come from? Don't run away, leader, you Wait, I'm going to kill Wang Er, the apprentice."
When the other soldier saw this, he cursed and chased after him angrily with a knife. Then, the two people disappeared into the vast sea of people one after another, leaving Chen Dong with a dark face messy in the wind.
