A well in Fuzhou City was crowded with pirates.
Chen Zuyi was surrounded by many personal guards under the well, and there were pirates above and below him.
The moment the fire broke out in Fuzhou City, Chen Zuyi wanted to evacuate. Unfortunately, the fire at the gate of the city was too fierce.
Chen Zuyi couldn't rush through at all. He was wearing flammable fabrics. If he rushed into the sea of fire rashly, he would be swallowed up by the fire immediately.
Helpless, Chen Zuyi could only look for water sources. At this time, he could only survive in the water.
After all the hard work, I finally found a well, but how many people can such a well carry?
And there are already people hiding in this well.
When Chen Zuyi saw this, he became worried and directly ordered all the people in the well to climb up.
Unfortunately, life and death are at stake. Even if Chen Zuyi is the big boss, others are not fools. There is a fire outside. At this time, going out is a dead end.
These pirates did not pay attention to Chen Zuyi's orders at all, but continued to hide in the well in fear.
Chen Zuyi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and then he ordered his men to shoot all these people to death in the well. They went in and hid before they could be salvaged ashore.
A small well was filled with less than a hundred people hiding there.
Chen Zuyi's men had no choice but to find another way out. Chen Zuyi's tens of thousands of cronies were reduced to just over a hundred in one day.
The rest of the people fled for their lives. Chen Zuyi had no idea how much they would survive in the end.
After hiding in the well for two days, Chen Zuyi had already figured it out. After escaping, he would lead his men back to Nanyang.
The Ming Dynasty is really too evil. None of these Ming Dynasty generals are fuel-efficient lamps.
It was just Deng Yu who was so decisive that he burned down the huge city of Fuzhou.
Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty also had the god of war Xu Da, who was several times more powerful than Deng Yu. I don’t know how difficult it was to deal with him.
I think that even if Chen Zuyi captured Fuzhou and the Guangdong and Guangxi areas, he would not be a match for Xu Da. The final result would probably be death and annihilation of his family.
Chen Zuyi was already disheartened when he thought of this.
There was once an army of 100,000 people. After this fire, I don’t know how many people can survive.
Now that Chen Zuyi is almost at the age where he knows his destiny, he no longer wants to bother with it anymore.
It would be nice to go to Nanyang, conquer a small country, and become a native emperor.
After fighting for so many years, you should enjoy it.
In the past two days, what Chen Zuyi thought about most was regret. He should not have led his army to provoke Ming Dynasty in a hurry.
If he had not come to the Ming Dynasty, who would be his opponent in the land of Nanyang?
It's a pity that everything is now destroyed by this fire.
Just as Chen Zuyi was thinking about what was going to happen next, the pirate above suddenly spoke:
"General, the fire seems to have stopped."
When Chen Zuyi heard this, he perked up and immediately ordered:
"Climb up and have a look."
The guard didn't waste any time, just pulled the rope and climbed to the top in a few moments.
"General, cough, cough, cough, the fire has really stopped."
Chen Zuyi was so happy that he asked all the pirates in the well to crawl out.
Nearly a hundred pirates couldn't wait to climb upwards. When Chen Zuyi came out of the well, he found that all the original houses around him had been burned into ruins, and the earth and masonry collapsed everywhere.
Fortunately, the open flames finally stopped, and no large-scale fires were seen.
Seeing this scene, Chen Zuyi didn't know what other methods the Ming army had. He waved his hand behind him and planned to take his people out of the city first.
After all, he now has less than a hundred people under his command, and his power is too weak.
Now it is better to withdraw from the city and make peace with Chen Zuxiao. Fortunately, Chen Zuxiao was left with 10,000 soldiers and horses of Chen's headquarters.
Although there are not many in number, they are all elite, enough to make a comeback.
As for the 100,000 troops entering the city, Chen Zuyi no longer had any hope.
Because when he looked around, he couldn't see an intact building at all, which was enough to illustrate the scale of the fire.
Under such a fire, unless you can find a water source and hide under a well like yourself, otherwise you will only end up dead.
Rather than betting on whether these people can survive, it is better to go and make peace with Chen Zuxiao first.
By then, even if the Ming army has any backup plans, he will still be able to fight to the death.
Unfortunately, he still doesn't know that his cousin Chen Zuxiao has already gone one step ahead of him to meet the ancestors of the Chen family.
Chen Zuyi no longer hesitated and wanted to leave with the others, but heard rapid footsteps coming from behind.
There was a sudden thought in his heart. The footsteps were very close to him. It was too late to avoid him. Chen Zuyi could only bite the bullet and turn around to fight.
As soon as he turned around, Chen Zuyi saw a large number of Ming soldiers, wearing red mandarin duck uniforms and holding a long black stick, running toward him menacingly.
"Chen Zuyi!!!"
The leader of the Ming army was wearing a helmet and armor. He had a majestic face and looked calm and intimidating.
As soon as he saw Chen Zuyi, the man shouted loudly, as if he knew Chen Zuyi very well. This man was Xu Da.
After Xu Da heard the noise, he immediately brought people over. Unexpectedly, he saw Chen Zuyi.
Before Xu Da left the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang had shown Xu Da a portrait of Chen Zuyi, and Xu Da naturally kept Chen Zuyi's appearance firmly in mind.
Now seeing Chen Zuyi, especially the scar that almost penetrated Chen Zuyi's face from top to bottom, Xu Da recognized Chen Zuyi at a glance.
When Chen Zuyi heard the shouting, he knew that it would be difficult to be kind today. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the person coming.
"I wonder what your name is?"
Chen Zuyi attended a private school when he was young, and was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, so his conversation was naturally extraordinary.
It's just that after spending time with pirates, his speech will be like a pirate's, which makes him look nondescript.
"Xuda."
"Are you Xu Da?"
Chen Zuyi's pupils shrank and his heart was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Ming Dynasty would send Xu Da to deal with him personally. From this point of view, he would not lose this battle.
Chen Zuyi thought for a moment and realized that the fall of Pinghu Camp a few days ago was probably also caused by Xu Da.
It's a pity that I didn't know that Xu Da was coming in person, otherwise I'm afraid that I wouldn't have put all my money into it, but turned around and ran away.
There is no regret medicine in the world. The last thing Chen Zuyi should do is to be the enemy of Ming Dynasty, but everything is already too late.
When Xu Da appears here, it has already explained a lot of things. I am afraid that his cousin Chen Zuxiao will also be in trouble.
"Wei Guogong, Xu Da, I have long admired you!"
Chen Zuyi knew that he was in danger, so he felt a little relieved and bowed his hand towards Xu Da.
"Chen Zuyi, please surrender and follow me to answer the question. The Emperor may spare your life because of your father's merits!"
Xu Da's face was complicated, and he brought up the past, as if Chen Zuyi had something unspeakable when he left the Ming Dynasty.
"Hahaha, if Zhu Yuanzhang was someone who missed his old relationship, he wouldn't kill my father."
"Why do I still use you to pretend to be a good person now?"
Chen Zuyi laughed loudly, as if he heard a joke.
Xu Da wanted to persuade him again, but he heard Chen Zuyi say loudly:
"Stop talking about it. Today there is only Chen Zuyi who died in battle, not Chen Zuyi who surrendered."
"Brothers, kill me!!"
After Chen Zuyi finished speaking, without waiting for Xu Da to say anything else, he directly pulled out his sword and charged towards Xu Da.
Seeing this, Xu Da sighed and waved behind him.
The Ming Navy, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang bang!"
After several gunshots, the charge of Chen Zuyi and the hundreds of pirates behind him was immediately interrupted.
Many bloody holes appeared on these people's bodies, and then they fell limply to the ground.
"Xu...Da, I'm...underground...waiting..."
However, Chen Zuyi took the last bite, struck the ground with his knife, his mouth full of blood, smiled strangely at Xu Da, and died.
Xu Da looked at Chen Zuyi who was still staring, took a few steps forward, closed Chen Zuyi's eyes, and murmured softly:
"The superior had no choice but to rest in peace."
