Chapter 573 Are the pirates in Yunjing County cleared?
The more he thought about Chengdu, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the crazier he became.
The hatred for the pirates, the hatred for the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the expectation for meritorious service, and the desire for revenge were all focused on Zhao Cheng.
Seeing that Zhao Cheng's team was less than two miles away, they all called on Chengdu to take the lead and rush forward, saying loudly: "Killing the traitor Zhao Cheng is as effective as eradicating the bandits. Brothers, please cheer up and kill -"
"kill!!!"
The main weapon of the Zhenhai Battalion infantrymen was knives. Each one of them held their knives and chased the Zhao family like crazy.
Du Xu Chengdu is crazy on his own, but they are about to be driven crazy by Du Xu Chengdu. They have had enough of this way of rushing on both feet, and they just hope to kill the Zhao family as soon as possible and end this crazy chase.
.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the night wind was stirred up for a moment, and an arrow broke through the night and penetrated the chest of a warrior.
"Whoosh!"
Another feather arrow flew out and shot through the neck of a warrior.
“Whoosh whoosh!!!”
Immediately afterwards, countless feathered arrows flew in. The density of Zhenhai Battalion soldiers was too high and there was no way to avoid them. The failure rate of this first round of arrow attacks was extremely low.
"Don't be afraid! Spread to both sides, keep moving forward, don't stop!"
Duxu Chengdu took command in the team, and Tiyun Neijing shouted: "We have reached their shooting range, which means we are very close to them. They are few in number. As long as we are not afraid, they will die!"
"Whoosh——"
An extraordinarily strong sound of breaking wind sounded, and Du Chengdu's hair stood on end, alerting him that the arrow was aimed at him.
He subconsciously took a few steps back and bypassed several people, using those soldiers as his own human wall.
"puff!"
"puff!"
The arrow first shot through the chest of a warrior, pushing the warrior back a few steps, then penetrated the abdomen of another warrior, and pressed directly towards Du Xuchengdu.
Seeing the arrow protruding from the back of the warrior, they all called to Chengdu to quickly swing Fang Tian's halberd around, splitting the two warriors who were flying towards him into four.
Duxu Chengdu held Fang Tian's painted halberd vertically and glanced somewhere in the darkness in the distance.
He dared to conclude that the arrow that wanted to kill him just now must have been shot by Zhou Nuo.
He was amazed at Zhou Nuo's archery skills, his strength, accuracy, and perfect timing. It was even better than the rumors!
Du Xuchengdu didn't know that the bow held by Zhou Nuo at this moment was the famous Jingling Bow!
"It takes time for them to change their arrows, and their physical strength is limited. Keep spreading! Keep moving forward!! Kill!!!"
After finishing this sentence, Duxu Chengdu quickly changed his position. He mobilized the soldiers to work hard, but he himself slowed down.
Being stared at by Zhou Nuo in the dark, he did not dare to act rashly.
Zhao Huan couldn't run fast enough with his family. As long as he found a way to deal with Zhou Nuo, it would be easy to catch up with Zhao Huan, but he must not stumble and stumble first.
Du Xuchengdu shuttled through the crowd, using the soldiers of the Zhenhai Battalion as his human wall, and gradually approached Zhou Nuo's predicted position.
He came to Fu Zheng's side, pointed to a tree three hundred steps away, and said: "Zhou Nuo is right there. You and I will go to the left and right to outflank her. As long as she is dead, other shooters will not be afraid."
Fu Zheng hesitated: "Can I not go?"
Du Xu Chengdu frowned and said: "Fu Duwei, what do you think you are? Refusing to fight in the face of battle, greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Fu Zhengdao: "Instructor Zhou is my teacher."
Du Xuchengdu shouted: "She is no longer the archery instructor of the Yulin Army! You have to understand that you are His Majesty's minister!"
"It is precisely because I am your Majesty's subject that I will accept this order to let Zhenhaiying commit suicide. But Zhou Nuo is my teacher, and I cannot kill her with my own hands."
Fu Zheng's answer was calm and firm, and he added: "Commander Duxu is offended. I want to go to you. I will command the Zhenhai Battalion well so that the brothers will sacrifice less."
"It's just a promise, do you think I really need your help?"
Du Xuchengdu snorted coldly and rushed towards the target quickly. At this moment, bursts of rapid horse hooves sounded.
This sound of horse hoofbeats was obviously not made by the Three Hundred Prefecture soldiers. The Three Hundred Prefecture soldiers were shooting at the Zhenhai Camp in a scattered manner. However, this sound of horse hoofbeats was at a unified pace and was obviously the force of a charge.
The sudden arrival of the cavalry interrupted the rhythm of both Zhou Nuo and Du Xuchengdu, but the impact point of the cavalry was Zhenhai Camp.
Du called Chengdu to react and immediately retreated, shouting: "Be careful of the enemy's cavalry!"
A group of cavalry came to Zhou Nuo and Zhao Yan and said, "You go first, leave this place to me."
The light was too dark, so Zhao Yan could not see the other party's appearance, but he was familiar with the voice and said: "Qingdong Hou?"
Xu Shouli pulled the reins of the horse and took a few steps forward. Only then did the moonlight fall on his face, allowing Zhao Yan and Zhou Nuo to see his appearance.
"it's me."
Xu Shouli said: "I originally wanted to buy time for you to stop Wang Yuluan, but I didn't expect Du Xuchengdu to stop you in front of you."
Zhao Yan asked: "How many people does Mr. Hou have?"
"Three thousand cavalry."
Zhao Yan was a little worried and said: "There are fewer people, I'm afraid there will be danger."
"That's better than taking three hundred soldiers to stay behind. The old commander needs the protection of the soldiers, so leave this place to me."
Xu Shouli said seriously: "I am a cavalryman. If I don't fight with Duxu Chengdu, if they continue to pursue me, I will charge back and forth to slow down their pace. If they want to turn their spearhead against me, I will run away."
"This method is feasible, so thank you Lord Marquis!" Zhao Yan punched Xu Shouli and led Zhou Nuo and three hundred soldiers to gather towards the Zhao family's team.
Seeing the cooked duck fly away, Chengdu was extremely angry and shouted angrily: "Who are you, how dare you attack Dajing Zhenhai Camp?!"
Xu Shouli said: "Dajing Zhenhai Camp? Isn't Zhenhai Camp in the process of exterminating bandits? How could it be possible to appear here? Are you fake?"
Duxu Chengdu looked at Xu Shouli, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Qingdonghou! Look at me, I am Duxu Chengdu!"
Xu Shouli deliberately looked at Duxu Chengdu a few more times and said, "You are really Commander Duxu! Why, you wiped out the pirates in Yunjing County?"
Everyone cried out that Chengdu was choked.
Xu Shouli asked: "Where is Captain Fu? Is Captain Fu here??"
"Here!" Fu Zheng squeezed out from the crowd.
Xu Shouli looked at Fu Zheng and said, "Captain Fu, have the pirates in Yunjing County been cleared?"
Fu Zhengdao: "No."
Xu Shouli said: "If not, why are you here?"
"This..." Fu Zheng clasped his fists and said, "This is His Majesty's will."
Xu Shouli said: "Since Your Majesty has asked General Wang to lead the march eastward, how can you ask the Zhenhai Battalion, which is exterminating the invaders, to withdraw its troops and go north? If you withdraw, the pirates will come ashore to cause trouble, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
"Your Majesty is a wise king, how could you issue such a foolish order?"
