But no matter what, from now on, it seems that Ariel Kunel did invite her warmly and entertained herself and others. It would be too embarrassing if she turned against him rashly.
Anyway, Han Du knew from Zhu Biao's face that he would definitely not agree. Rather than contradicting Zhu Biao, it is better to go with the flow.
Tang Ding was also full of disbelief, but he didn't say much.
Zhu Biao saw the expressions of the two people in his eyes, and after knowing what he knew, he smiled and said: "Since they are sincerely entertaining us, it is not easy for us to go out of our way. Go back, the fleet's supplies should be replenished, let's continue west."
"Okay." Han Du immediately laughed and no longer cared about what Ariel Kunel wanted to do. If you can go west as soon as possible, you can go back as soon as possible. Compared with the urgent feeling of missing Anqing, everything is trivial.
Han Du and others hurried back along the road they came from. When they came to a canyon trail with a line of sky, they saw that the originally narrow trail had been tightly blocked by dead branches and wood.
And just as Han Du came back to his senses, he heard a loud roar from the mountain. Countless leaves began to tremble, as if a giant beast was rolling in the woods.
Han Du was not surprised but laughed loudly, "I said there is no such thing as free food in this world. We have eaten two meals from others, how can we escape easily?"
Zhu Biao also laughed and said with a calm expression: "I didn't expect that I was really taken in by Gu. This King of Ceylon Mountain is really ambitious!"
At first Han Du did not take the King of Ceylon Mountain's plan seriously, but as time went by, Han Du found that he was wrong, and the wrong was very wrong. I saw people from the Ceylon Mountains all over the mountains and plains, armed with simple sticks, spears and scimitars, charging towards the pro-army and naval officers.
The weapons in the hands of these Ceylon Mountain people were not worth mentioning in Han Du's opinion, but their numbers shocked Han Du. I saw Ceylonese people from the jungle rushing out in a steady stream, and there were a large number of Ceylonese people surrounding them not only in front, but also behind them.
Attacked from both sides, Han Du and others were surrounded.
"Where did so many people come from? There must be a small hundred thousand, right?" Han Du estimated the number of people at a glance. Han Du did not expect that Ariel Kunel could mobilize 100,000 people to besiege them. No wonder Ariel Kunel still dared to take action when he saw that he had thousands of people with him. It turned out that this was his confidence.
Zhu Biao's face also turned bad. There were only four thousand men and horses around him. Although these four thousand were elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time, their firearms were also extremely sharp. But in the face of 100,000 enemies, it is still too weak. Let alone 100,000 people, even if they kill 100,000 pigs, it will still tire them out.
Tang Ding suddenly became nervous and shouted: "Be on guard! Be on guard! Prepare to fight!"
Four thousand men and horses did not waver in the face of such a siege. Not even a sound was made from within the army. It was only after receiving Tang Ding's order that a few uniform sounds were made, which were the sounds of soldiers picking up their weapons.
Han Du gritted his teeth and shouted: "Kill for what?"
Tang Ding turned back in confusion and looked at Han Du without knowing why.
"These are the slaves who will dig gems for us in the future. If we kill them all, who will dig gems for us in the future?" Han Du shouted loudly. Tang Ding was furious for a while. The gems were good, and it was right to let these people dig them. But if you want to make these people dig gems obediently, you have to scare them first, right? If we can't beat them into submission, how can these people dig for gems obediently?
Even Zhu Biao looked at Han Du doubtfully.
Han Du didn't care anymore, and immediately waved his arms and shouted: "That black charcoal ball knows how to lure us away from the mountain and ambush us. But he doesn't know that if he sends so many troops here, the palace guards will be empty. We don't need it. Wrestle with them, capture the thief first, capture the king, and march straight to the palace.”
"Okay!" Zhu Biao immediately slapped his thigh and shouted, "According to Chuan Gu's order, the entire army retreats and rushes back to capture Ariel Kunel alive."
"Capture Ariel Kunel alive~" The army suddenly burst into roars.
The soldiers of the Ming army became excited instantly, and their morale suddenly rose. The main reason is that Ariel Kunel is also the leader of a country. Although the country of Mount Ceylon is a bit small, it does not hinder Ariel Kunel's identity.
What a soldier longs for most is to be granted the title of marquis immediately, and a greater wish than this is to capture the enemy chief in front of the emperor. Although Mount Ceylon is only a small country, if it can capture Ariel Kunel alive, the credit will be no small. Not to mention being granted the title of marquis, perhaps he could barely be granted the title of uncle.
The Ming army took advantage of the Ceylon Mountain people's encirclement yet to close, and turned around and rushed towards the palace.
The commander of Ceylon in the distance was shocked when he saw this scene. He had never thought that these people would directly give up breaking through him in order to escape, but chose to attack the weak point behind him. . Under the king's instructions, he tried his best to put the most powerful army on the front, just to completely trap the Ming army here. The soldiers behind him were much weaker, so he just let them make up the numbers.
But now, those who make up the numbers are facing the charge of the Ming army. Even so, the commander didn't think these Ming people could run away. No matter how small the number of soldiers behind them are, they are still several times as many as the Ming people. It is still enough to block them.
As long as the Ming people can be delayed and his troops can arrive in time, they can still surround and kill all the Ming people.
With a loud roar, countless Ceylonese people had no choice but to continue rushing towards the Ming people in front.
Four thousand troops surrounded Han Du and others, escorting His Royal Highness as they ran all the way. Since the pro-army weapons were the sharpest, Tang Ding placed part of them at the front to use as sharp knives for breakthroughs. The navy officers and soldiers all carried a sword and a shield, which were placed by Tang Ding on both sides and behind to protect the wings and back.
The pro-soldiers in front were the first to face the Ceylonese soldiers. As soon as the Ceylonese soldiers came into shooting range, the pro-soldiers raised their already hungry thunder blunderers one by one.
"Bang~bang~bang~"
After a burst of smoke, the Ceylonese soldiers in front fell down like mowing grass. The pro-army soldiers are all elites selected by Lao Zhu, and they are all specially trained in using divine thunder guns. Although it was running, the hit rate was not low because it was a volley.
The Ceylonese were stunned by just one salvo of the divine thunder cannon. There was obviously such a long distance, but after a burst of noise, so many people died silently on their side? This time, the people of Ceylon thought that the gods were punishing them.
The Ceylonese commander was also frightened, and he also wondered whether there were gods helping the enemies. But when he thought of the harsh methods the king used to punish them and the order given by the king, the commander gritted his teeth, shouted loudly, and drove the Ceylon soldiers to continue to advance.
The Ceylon soldiers had just cheered up when the second salvo from the pro-army troops arrived.
"Bang~bang~bang~"
A large number of Ceylonese people fell down in an instant. Many of them were not hit in the vital points and were still rolling on the ground and wailing endlessly. Whether it was the god-like invisible attack or the wailing companions on the ground, the people of Ceylon became more and more frightened, and the fear in their hearts suddenly increased.
Tang Ding didn't care what the Ceylonese were thinking. He was keenly aware of the hesitation and incoordination of the Ceylonese. Immediately move all pro-army troops to the front to participate in the attack.
There were twice as many pro-troops, and another volley caused the Ceylonese casualties to more than double in an instant.
The successive blows made the people of Ceylon fear the Ming Dynasty as much as they fear the devil, and many people were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. While running away, he was still shouting something in his mouth. Some people even put down their weapons and knelt down devoutly towards the Ming army. They kept mumbling strange words that they couldn't understand, as if they were longing for the Ming army's forgiveness.
The commander of the Ceylon soldiers was also very anxious when he saw this. His loud shouting was of no use at all. Even if he wielded his scimitar and chopped off the heads of several fleeing people, he could not stop his soldiers from running away.
The army was defeated like a mountain, and the Ceylon soldiers on this side completely collapsed!
Tang Ding felt relieved when he saw that the Ceylonese were defeated after several volleys. He was too lazy to send troops to chase down the deserters, and directly commanded the army to rush through the Ceylonese blockade and head towards the palace.
Just like Han Du said, these people ran away and ran away. Anyway, no matter how or where they run, they will be slaves digging gems for the Ming Dynasty in the future.
When Commander Ceylon caught up behind him and saw it, the Ming people did not know what means they used to directly defeat so many soldiers. Although he knew that the Ming people were extremely terrifying, he still wanted to grow wings and fly in front of them to surround them.
Especially when he saw the Ming people rushing towards the palace, he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He shouted desperately and drove the army forward to stop the Ming people no matter what.
But the distance gap cannot be leveled by loudness. Before he could catch up with the Ming people, Tang Ding led his army to the palace.
Ariel Kunel was sitting on the stone throne, with one leg crossed and swinging continuously, and a hand on his chin, constantly imagining the wonderful scene of catching all those Ming people in one fell swoop.
Those Ming people dared to let him kneel on the ground to worship them. After he caught them, he would definitely take back the shame of being on the ship. He would make them kneel before him!
As for the Ming Dynasty, Yalie Kuner didn't take it seriously at all. The power of Ming Dynasty is just what other people say. How powerful it is, even the person who said this heard it from other people's mouths. Maybe this Ming Dynasty is not as powerful as his kingdom at all, and those people were just deceived by the cunning Ming Dynasty people.
Even if the Ming Dynasty is really as powerful as those people say, he, Yalie Kuner, is not afraid. It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to find him here after being separated by tens of thousands of miles.
