The ship was retreating at a very fast speed towards the only escape route behind it.
Arrows rained down from the sky, and the fiery red light almost burned the clouds red, rushing towards them like fierce dragons.
Xiao Chen was responsible for directing the retreat, and the front provided cover for him.
But a rocket fell from a high place. The moment Ji Hongluan's pupils trembled, she rushed towards it, "Sir, be careful!"
An arrow was split in half by her in an instant, still burning when it fell to the ground.
Two guards rushed over with water to put out the fire, and then asked with concern: "Sir, are you okay?"
Xiao Chen shook his head, but when he saw a cut on Ji Hongluan's arm, his face turned cold instantly, "You hide back in the cabin first, everyone strengthens defense!"
The counterattack will definitely have to be a show-off. If they retreat directly, it will seem a bit deliberate.
Xiao Chen suddenly picked up a bow with tempered arrows on it, "These weaklings are really pushing their limits!"
Through the gap in the shield, he stared at the person standing on the deck not far away.
With sharp eyes and sharp edges, the bow and arrows were gradually drawn to full length with his ferocity. With each pull and release, the arrows flew out with a whoosh and went straight towards the opponent.
Bah!
The arrow passed through layers of defense and hit a hard and soft chest.
A sharp pain spread across his body, and he looked at the arrow on his body. The stinging and burning were frightening.
From so far away, with so many guards, he was actually shot!
Realizing that something had happened to him, people around him hurriedly shouted in panic: "Captain Watanabe, something has happened. Guard him immediately and be on guard!"
A group of people immediately surrounded Watanabe Mayu, covering him and carrying him back to the cabin.
The accompanying military doctor tore open his clothes for inspection and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. "It's a blessing out of all the misfortunes. It didn't hit the vital point. In addition, the distance was long and the arrow didn't penetrate deeply. I could barely save my life."
How ironic this is.
Watanabe clenched his fists tightly, his face turned green.
There seemed to be a burning rage in his eyes, but at this moment, his body was weak and he had nowhere to vent.
"That arrow shot so sharply. It was definitely not out of nowhere. There is an expert in the enemy's field of archery!"
Despite the heavy rain of rockets, he could still feel that this arrow came with a single purpose.
Just to take his own life!
"Ambassador Zuo, please don't get excited. The qi and blood are surging and you can't stop the bleeding."
Barely able to calm down, the rocket was taken out under basin after basin of blood.
Probably because Watanabe Mayu was seriously injured, the opponent's offensive slowed down a little.
"Are you OK?"
After the wound was bandaged, Yu Aoi walked over and looked at him condescendingly, with disappointment in his eyes.
It is really a shameful thing to allow the enemy to shoot their commander directly with an arrow under such protection.
Mayu Watanabe knelt down in a hurry, "General, please give me another chance. This time it was just a mistake!"
"If that arrow goes a little further to the left, I'm afraid this will be your last mistake."
"But the enemy has something, and his archery skills are quite good. It seems that he can't be kept here."
He glared at Mayu Watanabe and said, "You need to recuperate on your own first. Regarding the task of chasing them, I will personally take care of them!"
He strode out of the cabin with rapid strides. This time, the shield was even denser, with not even a few gaps left.
"Send the order and ask the boatman to speed up. These people must be eliminated. Let us show our power in Japan and avenge Ambassador Watanabe!"
He stared at the telescope and peered into the distant scene with a scornful smile on his lips.
"So what if there are 100,000 troops? So what if you are skilled in swordsmanship? It's ridiculous to be chased and beaten by my Japanese army like a lost dog!"
Xiao Chen took back his bow and arrow, but couldn't find a second chance to charge up his power.
Just now I saw a moment of panic on the other side's side, probably because I had shot some big shot, causing them to panic for a moment.
However, these Japanese people recovered quickly, and there should be more wise people guiding them.
Xiao Chen put away his bow and arrows, and suddenly he heard an astonishing voice coming from his ears: "Master Xiao, I don't know who your archery master is from, he is so brilliant that it makes people fall to their knees!"
Xiao Chen touched his nose, "Well, if I say it was just a moment of anger and talent fueled it, would you believe it?"
In fact, he didn't know much about the use of bows and arrows, but at that time Ji Hongluan was injured in order to protect himself, and he felt that he had to seek justice.
Otherwise, you will feel guilty!
Wei Baian was a little depressed. If he didn't want to talk, he didn't want to talk. Why were you using these excuses to fool people?
Even without looking specifically, you can feel that the other party is driving faster and faster, and even gradually getting closer to them.
Sighing lightly, Wei Baian put his hands behind his back, "If this continues, I'm afraid they will catch up before we can evacuate and implement our plan."
"These bullies are really difficult to deal with."
Xiao Chen's eyes were as bright as a torch, and there was a coldness in the corner of his mouth: "So what if we catch up?"
"Our warship has been modified and specially equipped with a speed-increasing device. Why not compare it with them!"
He looked at the sky again and said, "The sun is going to set tonight, and the distance has begun to become hazy."
"Let's go, let them remain in a stalemate like this, pretending to attack and focusing on defense."
Throwing the bow and arrow aside, Xiao Chen turned around and returned to the cabin.
Wei Baian stayed here, continuing to observe the enemy's situation and direct operations.
At this time, Ji Hongluan sat casually on a box and let Yu Luo bandage his wounds. From time to time, he could hear the woman's soft moans of pain.
"Sister Hongluan, if you bear it a little longer, you'll be fine soon after applying the medicine."
Ji Hongluan gritted her teeth.
Despite her usual carefree appearance, she is actually very afraid of pain.
Especially when you are injured, you can't help crying when it hurts. At this time, you also hold it back to prevent yourself from making a fool of yourself.
A handkerchief was suddenly handed over, "Take it and wipe it."
Then he turned around and handed Yuluo an exquisite jade bottle: "This contains painkilling powder. Sprinkle it onto the wound later and blend into the blood to relieve the pain."
"Is there such a magical medicine?"
Xiao Chen's words were concise and concise: "It is made of hemp branches and leaves, which can numb the nerves."
When fighting, some people will get hurt. This is inevitable.
This was something he had specifically mentioned in his letter to Concubine Jing, and he needed to prepare more.
Since pain is unavoidable and injuries are inevitable, relieving the pain can also bring some comfort to their souls, and they will not shy away from it when fighting.
"I heard that you just shot the opponent's general with an arrow?"
Ji Hongluan tapped the handkerchief twice at the corner of her eyes and stared at him in surprise.
