Just as the ferocious and violent elder sister Hong Niangzi urged the speedboat he was on to rush towards the Dalongtou sand ship, Zhu Cixiang didn't care at all about the small boat Hong Niang was riding on. He didn't even care about the messy cannons.
He has only one goal, which is the pontoon where Li Yan is!
He didn't know there was this pontoon bridge, but after seeing it, he immediately knew that it was the key to today's battle.
After seizing the pontoon bridge, the troops on the north bank of the Wei River continued to move to the south bank. Tianjin Wei Nancheng will be saved!
Therefore, after dispersing the cannons blocking the front, Zhu Cixi immediately urged the Dalongtou to move forward quickly and rushed straight towards the pontoon where Li Yan was located.
Although there were many soldiers gathered on the pontoon, in front of the two 12-pound red cannons, they were just a pile of flesh and blood!
It seems that Tianjin Wei is going to win this bloody battle by himself. This is really not easy!
Our own soldiers and horses are actually just a mob, that is, Shen Tingyang's Shachuan Gang is really capable of fighting on the water. Although they are still a little timid...
But with such a ragtag army, he defeated Li Zicheng's more than 20,000 troops! Zhu Cixiang felt so proud! My new army to overcome difficulties has been tested by blood and fire. After seeing blood and fire and defeating Li Zicheng's old army, it is a brave and brave army with full confidence!
"Master Chitose! A small boat is rushing over from our right side!"
Shen Tingyang's voice suddenly sounded in Zhu Cixiang's ears. Everyone else's attention was on the pontoon, but he looked in all directions and spotted the Red Lady's boat.
"What? A small boat? Let me take a look." Zhu Cixiang reached out and took a telescope from Wu Sanmei, and looked in the direction of Shen Tingyang's finger. At a glance, he saw a red lady dressed in red standing on the bow of the boat.
"This figure..." Zhu Cixiang took a breath, adjusted the telescope again, and took a closer look. He found that this woman was charming and enchanting, and she looked good even when she was angry.
"Haha, she is still a female general, quite ferocious!" Zhu Cixiang said with a smile.
Female generals were rare in ancient China. Even in the open Ming Dynasty, there were no famous female generals. Li Yuan's daughter, Princess Pingyang Zhao, was more famous.
But in the late Ming Dynasty, which was supposed to be a relatively closed era, many female generals appeared. For example, Qin Liangyu, who commanded the white pole soldiers to fight for the Ming Dynasty, Shen Yunying, who stood firm in Daozhou to resist Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Jie's wife Xing (Li Zicheng's ex-wife), one of the four towns in Jiangbei of the Nanming Dynasty, and Li Yan's wife Hong Niangzi, all She is a relatively famous female general.
However, it is quite unusual to see a female general in front of a battle formation where two armies are fighting.
"Master Chitose, that woman is wearing red, I'm afraid she is the famous witch Red Lady among the bandits!"
Cao Youyi, who followed Zhu Cixiang on board the ship, knew the situation of many bandits and had already guessed that the woman in red was the Red Lady.
Zhu Cixiang smiled meaningfully, "She's still a witch...good!"
What's the meaning?
Everyone around Zhu Cixi was startled. What did the prince want to do? Do you want to conquer the witch Red Lady?
"One sword," Zhu Cixiang turned to look at his head guard, "You are a martial arts scholar, you should be very good at martial arts, right?"
"Master Qiansui," Chen Yidao cupped his hand and reminded in a low voice, "I am afraid that the demon girl came here after seeing your dragon flag... You are a body of ten thousand gold, I must protect you!"
"That's right!" Zhu Cixiang rolled his eyes and saw his accompanying eunuch Huang Xiaobao again. Wen Yan asked: "Xiaobao, are you afraid of the witch?"
Huang Xiaobao is also an honest child. When Zhu Cixi asked, he actually nodded and said: "Afraid! The witch is so fierce, of course I will be scared."
This is not the standard answer! Zhu Cixiang frowned slightly and thought to himself: You little eunuch should step forward. How can you be afraid at the critical moment? But even if you are afraid, it is of no use, because I am not afraid of witches.
...
"Be careful, we're going to hit you!"
Following Feng San's loud shout, everyone on the boat immediately pulled on the hemp rope tied to the ship's board. Then there was a roar, and the canoe hit the starboard plank of the sand ship hard.
The Dalongtou was built according to the standards of a warship, and the ship's planks were extremely strong. The light boat the Red Lady was in did not move at all when the speedboat hit it.
"Throw!" The red lady shouted as soon as she stabilized her body, and then threw the iron claw in her hand towards the side of the big sand ship.
Other heroes with iron claw ropes on the boat also threw their iron claws, hooked the side of the big sand ship, and pulled hard, so that the small boat they were riding on and the big sand ship were close together.
"Go up!" The red lady yelled again, and then she climbed up first.
The sand boat is still a boat with low freeboard. With the strength of the red lady, of course she jumped on board.
She got up from the bow of the big sand ship. After her feet landed on the deck, she saw a fat man wearing a red python robe walking towards the stairs under the protection of a group of warriors.
This is Zhu Cixiang!
The red lady scolded again: "Zhu Thief, where are you going!"
As soon as she shouted, she pointed out the direction to the soldiers who jumped onto the deck with her. Everyone shouted together, brandished their swords and rushed towards Zhu Cixiang.
The guards around Zhu Cixiang were not weak in martial arts. They fought against the red lady's people when they came up to him. Then Zhu Cixi got the chance and climbed up to the top platform of the cabin. When the red lady saw it, she didn't go up the stairs. Instead, she retracted her iron claw and threw it out again. She hooked the railing on the platform and used her strength to run up. She actually climbed up.
After going up, the red lady realized something was wrong. There are a lot of people on the platform! There is an ambush!
The red lady knew something was wrong, so she wanted to rush to the side of the platform and jump into the river to escape. After taking a few steps, he saw Zhu Cixiang coming up the stairs in a panic and met her face to face. Without thinking much, she reached out and grabbed Zhu Cihong and pulled him in front of her, and put the blade on Zhu Cihong's neck. Then he shouted: "I've got Prince Zhu!"
After shouting, the red lady felt something was wrong again. Why aren't the people on the platform panicking at all?
At this moment, a man who looked murderous came out of the crowd and said to the Red Lady: "You are the Red Lady, right? My subordinate is Chen Yidao, the foreman of the East Palace. I heard that you are highly skilled in martial arts and will not let men down. Today I want to You need to learn a lesson or two.”
The red lady was not interested in a duel, and snorted: "You are worthy of my enemy...you, you!"
The big red demon girl only said half of what she said, because she saw Chen Yidao take out a musket with a lit match rope from behind and point it at herself!
Why is this man so shameless... The red lady was shocked by the behavior of the man in front of her. Use a firecracker to compete with yourself? Why don't you bring a cannon?
"Hmph," the red lady quickly blocked Zhu Cixiang in front of her, "do you think you can take me down with a mere firecracker?"
Chen Yidao deeply agreed, "It makes sense, one blunderbuss is indeed too few!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone on the platform took out a blunderbuss and pointed it at the red lady. One of the guys dressed as a scholar (it was Shen Tingyang) also held two blunderbuss!
The red lady already knew that something was wrong. Not only did she fall into a trap, but she also fell into a trap by a group of shameless people! But she still held on and said: "You, your prince is in my hands!"
Chen Yidao smiled and said: "Do you think he will be a real prince? To tell you the truth, he is just a eunuch... If you don't believe me, just touch his lower body."
The red lady is a hero among women. She doesn't care whether she is kissed or not, so she immediately reaches out to touch her. When she touches her, her beauty will of course turn pale. It is impossible for the prince not to have the tools to commit crimes in a debauched manner!
The person she captured was Huang Xiaobao, Zhu Cihong's eunuch companion, who was used as bait to lure her into the bait. The real Prince Zhu is hiding in the cabin at the moment.
Chen Yidao saw the red lady's expression change and laughed: "Red Lady, you have been fooled!"
The red lady knew that she had fallen into a trap, but she was unwilling to give in. She gritted her teeth and said, "You men are not heroes. How could you use such despicable methods to deal with a weak woman like me? A fight."
Chen Yidao smiled and said: "Don't provoke me. I'm not a green forest hero. How could I do what you did? But we don't intend to hurt you today. It's just that Qiantose Master wants to meet you and has something to say to you. Say it. I will let you go after I finish speaking, and I will never leave you in trouble.
Red Lady, if you have the guts to see the Crown Prince, let your people go and leave you alone. Otherwise, with so many firecrackers here, none of the people you bring will be able to come back alive! "
