At this time, even Zhou Jun knew that it would be more difficult to save his father, Emperor Zhou Qing, tonight. He had to save his own life first, but he still felt sad. If the rescue operation failed tonight, then
It's just a warning. It will probably be more difficult to save people in the future.【】
However, manpower is ultimately inferior to modern tools. No matter how strong Chen Hu's arms are, the speed of the small wooden boat is still not as fast as that of the speedboat. The pursuers behind him slowly come closer, and the distance is slowly shrinking. It doesn't take long for the speedboat to leave.
The boat was already only a hundred meters away. With the eyesight of experts like Zhou Yi and Chen Hu, using the light of the snow and the firelight emitted by the burning ferry, they could already see how many people were on the speedboat.
Zhou Yi came out, and there were fifteen speedboats chasing them. There were three people on each speedboat. These people were holding something in their hands. As for what it was, it was not clear yet.
These speedboats did not exactly follow Zhou Yi and others, but spread out and pursued them. Zhou Yi immediately figured out his knack. These people wanted to outflank them and trap them in the Huangpu River.
Yes, surround and kill them.
"People in front of you, please stop immediately. If you stop, I will give you a whole body, otherwise I will cut you into pieces!"
The people on the speedboat began to shout loudly. It seemed that they had regarded Zhou Yi and the other three as turtles in the urn. However, the sound was somewhat erratic due to the wind and snow in the sky, so it seemed a bit mysterious amidst the heavy snow and fire.
However, Chen Hu ignored the shouts of these people and continued to draw prizes quickly. His hand was still relatively stable, and the speed of the boat was getting faster and faster.
Zhou Yi kept a few darts in his hand, just in case. He didn't think that they would be dead after those speedboats caught up. With him and Chen Hu here, the other party's fifteen boats and forty-five people might not be able to trap them.
He could catch them, but he was a little worried that the Shanghai gang members on these speedboats would have long-range killing weapons.
Whoosh!
Zhou Yi's worries immediately became a reality. When he cleared everything on the speedboat closest to him, even though he was a calm person, his face changed drastically at this time, because the three people on the speedboat had all the things in their hands.
Holding the crossbow, just after Zhou Yi cleared his opponent's weapons, several crossbow arrows were quickly fired at them.
Crossbow arrows are very lethal, and the crossbows in the hands of the Shanghai Gang are absolutely top-notch. They were shot from a distance of ten meters without any deflection, and directly pierced the hearts of Zhou Yi, Zhou Jun and Chen Hu.
.
Zhou Jun was the weakest among the three. He could only dodge on the boat. Zhou Yi took out his dagger and blocked several crossbow arrows aimed at himself and Chen Hu. Because Chen Hu wanted to paddle, he could not make any mistakes.
of stay.
Zhou Yi and the other three people managed to dodge the first wave of crossbow arrows, but if other speedboats caught up with them, surrounded them, and shot them all together, wouldn't they be shot like hedgehogs?
The speedboat got closer to the boat, and the Shanghai gang members on the speedboat started to load arrows on their crossbows again. They were about to prepare for a second round of attack.
Several darts held by Zhou Yi were finally shot out, killing three people on the speedboat closest to them. However, they had no way to snatch the speedboat. There was wind on the river, and the speedboat had already drifted downstream in the direction of the wind.
In addition, they were ten meters away from the speedboat. If the boat was rowed over to snatch the speedboat, the other fourteen speedboats from the Shanghai Gang would immediately rush over and surround them.
However, what has changed slightly is that after Zhou Yi shot and killed three Shanghai Gang people, other ships did not dare to get too close to them for the time being and kept a distance of one hundred meters away because of the lethality of Zhou Yi's darts
The range is only so far.
But the situation only changed temporarily. On the one hand, Zhou Yi only had a dart in his hand, and on the other hand, once these speedboats completed the siege of them, they would press up and shoot them to death with crossbows from all directions.
"Brother, why don't you go diving? Anyway, we brought diving suits."
Zhou Jun also showed signs of extreme danger and said to Zhou Yi: "It will be too late when they surround us."
"How are you two's water skills?"
Zhou Yi asked Zhou Jun and Chen Hu that if they wore diving suits, it would not be difficult for Zhou Yi to escape due to Zhou Yi's water nature, but now that there were three of them, he could not escape alone.
"They have so many speedboats. Even if we jump into the water, it will be difficult to escape. Besides, it is too cold. Zhou Jun's body will be frozen if he stays in the water for a long time."
Chen Hu said while drawing the prize. The long and fast draw made his peerless tiger spear slightly out of breath. If on land, with his and Zhou Yi's martial arts, they could jointly kill the forty-five Shanghai Gang.
It is not impossible for a master to be a master, but now we are on the river, and people have speedboats and crossbows. He and Zhou Yi are like a tiger falling in peace and being bullied by a dog."
"Brother, you are from Hangzhou, so you must be good at water. If Brother Chen Hu and I attract the target, you can escape alone." Zhou Jun thought for a while and said, he didn't want Zhou Yi to die with him.
"Young Master, Zhou Jun is right. You put on your diving suit and run away. We will cover you." Chen Hu also said that the situation is critical at this time. Only one of them can escape. If they all die here,
That's just not worth it.
"Look what you are saying. Since you call me big brother and young master, I will live and die with you." Zhou Yi smiled calmly. Tonight, even if they die, the three of them will be there.
Together, these are true brothers. They may not be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but they can die in the same year, the same month and the same day.
When Zhou Yi said this, Zhou Jun and Chen Hu knew that he had made up his mind, so they stopped saying anything. The three of them were in a desperate situation, and they felt somewhat tragic in their hearts.
However, Zhou Yi and the other three were considered optimistic people and would not give up any chance of survival until the last moment, so Chen Hu continued to row quickly, while Zhou Yi and Zhou Jun were carefully on guard to prevent those speedboats from suddenly rushing over.
The situation became increasingly unfavorable to Zhou Yi and the other three. The dozen or so speedboats slowly completed the outflanking of them, surrounding Zhou Yi and the other three. However, they were afraid of Zhou Yi's darts and did not dare to get too close. However, this speedboat
The people on board cooperated very well. They were slowly getting closer, preparing to press over at the same time, and use crossbow arrows to fire volleys at Zhou Yi and the other three people. Even if Zhou Yi had darts at that time, under the suppression of the arrow rain, he probably wouldn't be able to get up at all.
effect.
Chen Hu turned a blind eye to the encirclement and still firmly rocked the boat towards the shore.
"put!"
Hearing the roar of life, the people on more than a dozen speedboats finally began to attack, and crossbow arrows filled the sky towards Zhou Yi and the other three!
Crossbow arrows came overwhelmingly, like snowflakes in the sky, allowing people to escape. At this time, facing such a formation, Zhou Yi, Chen Hu and Zhou Jun all changed their expressions. None of them thought about Pei Liu's secret base.
There is such a powerful force, and it is even equipped with crossbow arrows that can shoot from a distance. You must know that in ancient times, this thing was only equipped by the army.
There was no hiding place on the small wooden boat, and there wasn't even much space to dodge and move around. Zhou Yi quickly took off his coat, and his inner energy flowed through his body, and his clothes made a clattering sound as he danced in the air.
, swing away the incoming crossbow arrows.
In the rain of arrows, Zhou Yi can still protect himself, but at this time he can no longer take the time to fire darts. Besides, Chen Hu is still drawing prizes and needs his protection. Zhou Jun is not strong enough and needs his help.
Blocking the crossbow arrows, he couldn't free his hands at all.
Phew!
Phew!
Zhou Jun's arms and Chen Hu's arrows were shot by crossbow arrows one after another, and blood flowed out. However, the crossbow arrows kept coming. They had no time to deal with the wounds and could only hold on.
Chen Hu was extremely strong and strong. When the crossbow arrow hit his arrow, he just frowned. He still rowed with all his strength and rushed forward.
The speed of the small wooden boat still did not slow down at all, but as the small wooden boat rushed forward, the distance between the small wooden boat and the several speedboats blocking them in front became closer and closer, almost less than thirty meters away.
Within a distance of thirty meters, the lethality of the crossbow arrows is very huge. Once it is hit, it is basically a dead end.
The first wave of crossbow attacks lasted for about twenty seconds before stopping. In just this round of attacks, both Chen Hu and Zhou Jun suffered more than two injuries.
Zhou Yi's mood became heavier and heavier. If he continued like this, it was estimated that three waves of enemy crossbows would injure him and Zhou Jun Chen Hu or kill them all.
"Prepare!"
In less than thirty seconds, a guy with a loud voice on the speedboat roared again. Zhou Yi's heart was hanging. When he saw that the people on the speedboat were loading crossbows, he knew that a new wave of swordfish was about to arrive.
It will shoot towards itself again.
"Am I going to be buried in the Huangpu River tonight?"
Zhou Yi thought to himself: "I promised Luo Qingxue, Murong Hongdou and Cao Fang. If I die, I don't know how many people will be sad for me."
Bang!
At this moment, something unexpected happened!
A huge explosion sounded in the Huangpu River, and soon after Zhou Yi arrived, a ferry caught fire. Soon, fire also appeared on another ferry!
Including the previous ferry that was still burning, there were already three ferries burning in Shanghai, and the ferry that exploded just now was even more complimentary. The flames shot up into the sky and turned the Huangpu River red.
"The three of us are not the only ones who came to get on the ferry tonight, but this person's luck is better than ours. We lured them away, but it made it easier for them to move."
Zhou Yi thought to himself.
"withdraw!"
There was a loud shout.
Between Zhou Yi, Chen Hu, and Zhou Jun, the dozen or so speedboats chasing them suddenly turned around and left quickly, speeding towards the burning ferry.
"Brother, what's going on? What happened?"
Zhou Jun asked Zhou Yidao with some confusion. As long as he fired another wave of crossbows, they might all be killed by the crossbows. But at this time, all these speedboats turned around. This was really unreasonable, because Chen Hu had previously
They set fire to the ferry, but these people didn't even come to rescue them, they just came after them. Why are they so nervous now and are they going to come back for help right away?
"Someone else must have boarded the ferry and set it on fire, and there must be something very important to the Shanghai Gang on the ferry, otherwise they would not give up on siegeing us and immediately return for reinforcements," Zhou Yi analyzed.
