Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 188 Capture Luo Rucai Alive

Frightened, Luo Rucai was like a fish slipping through the net, and led hundreds of thieves to run northward quickly, because he knew clearly that the river was to the south, and this area was still in deep water. A few hours ago, his hero Dongshan Tiger led 500 warriors , It is from this section of swimming.

Wang Qi and Dong Sheng could see clearly from the fort on the hill a few miles in front of Luo Rucai and the others.

"Quickly adjust the muzzle, aim at them, and fire me!" The two artillery battalion commanders gave an order, and these soldiers were in a hurry. Several cannons in red were originally pointed to the west, but they were quickly adjusted to the right direction. To the south, aim at the hundreds of people that Luo Rucai rushed over.

Loading ammunition, adjusting the front sight and the rear sight, a series of operations are completed in a few minutes, and the soldier holding the torch touches the fire rope.

"Eat, eat, boom, chatter, boom..."

Several red cannons roared, and two tiger crouching cannons also rang.

Luo Rucai led the men and horses only to run for more than a mile, and several shells roared towards them, exploding in their crowd.

Dozens of thieves were blown into the sky on the spot, and two of them were blown to nothing.

The red cannon in the cold weapon era is like a modern nuclear weapon. Its lethality is second, and the most important thing is its deterrent effect.

So these hundreds of thieves didn't dare to run forward, turned around and ran south.They knew that not far to the south was the great river.But let alone big rivers, even mountains of swords and seas of fire must move forward.Live a little longer, a little while.Jumping into the river and drowning is also much better than being bombarded with cannonballs.

Luo Rucai kept complaining, why didn't any road work?
At this moment, a shell roared and exploded in front of Luo Rucai's horse. It was a shotgun, and with a bang, Luo Rucai's war horse was overturned to the ground, throwing Luo Rucai off the horse.

This dog gnawed shit and almost lost his front teeth, his internal organs rolled over, and his intestines almost broke.

But Luo Rucai was really scared. The three souls lost two halves. He got up and wiped his head and ran away. He followed these hundreds of thieves and ran to the river. Now he thinks the same as these thieves, jumping Drowning in the water is much better than being bombed into cannon fodder.

Luo Rucai spread his legs and looked around and behind while running. His nephew Wang Long was nowhere to be seen. It is estimated that there is no danger at this time. Not to mention the nephew, his own son can't care about it at the moment, the most important thing is to escape.

There is no one around who can name the generals.What Dongshan Tiger, Hong Tatian, Yang Chengen, Li Rugui, Chen Sheng, etc., these generals used to be as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river before his eyes, but now none of them are there, and the remaining thieves are just pawns Or some small bosses, but it's better than nothing.

Luo Rucai had dealt with the officers and soldiers so many times, he couldn't even remember how many times he was chased like a rabbit after losing a battle.But it was the first time he encountered someone as embarrassed as today.

Now they had no place to run, because the officers and soldiers were chasing and killing them on the left and right. As a result, his hundreds of people joined the defeated thieves on the left and right, and they all ran towards the river.

When they got to the river, they jumped into the river like dumpling and escaped for their lives.

But there are many thieves who don't know how to go underwater, and there is no shadow. When they come up again, they are just corpses.

Those who could swim desperately swam to the other side, and just after they swam far, Ji Dong's pursuers arrived.Because the water here is deep, but the current is not urgent, they splashed in the water for a long time, but they didn't jump very far.

The archers and musketeers shot indiscriminately at the thieves in the water.The thieves who were thumping in the water all sank, and the river surface was stained red with blood.

The rest of the thieves saw that there was no way out anyway, and they were clever, so they remembered Ji Dong's no-killing and surrendering policy, and hurriedly abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Sure enough, they were not killed.

At this time Luo Rucai also arrived at the river. Although he is not a landlubber, such a wide river is less than 100 meters. He is not sure at all if he wants to swim across the river. He still wants someone to help him swim across the river. Look, all his subordinates threw down their knives and guns and raised their hands, Luo Rucai had no choice but to raise his hands too.

Luo Rucai was sweating profusely from running, gasping for breath, but still watching the situation with two sly eyes, ready to play by ear at any time, and make love according to the situation.

Because at this time he knew in his heart that others would definitely survive if they surrendered, and maybe they could still eat food and serve as soldiers, and serve as officials and half-jobs after making meritorious service.

But he couldn't do it. He surrendered when he was desperate, and they rebelled as soon as the officers and soldiers left. He and Zhang Xianzhong had played enough games like this.Even if that Chongzhen was willing to believe them this time, these officials probably wouldn't spare him.Because he had also heard that Xiong Wencan had been arrested by the court and put in prison because of this matter.Yang Sichang, Minister of the Ministry of War and Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, also suffered from Emperor Chongzhen's bear because of this incident, and came down to supervise the division to encircle and suppress them.

It's a game of cat and mouse, anyone will hate it if you play too much.

This time, no one will spare Luo Rucai if he is spared.Getting caught is definitely a capital crime, and beheading his head in the vegetable market is the lightest. It's probably not like Yuan Chonghuan cut him more than 3000 knives, and it won't be counted.

Luo Rucai is still self-aware of this point.

Therefore, even if there is a glimmer of hope, those who can escape have to find a way to escape.

At this time, more and more thieves gathered on the river bank. Of course, they were all prisoners of the government army at this time, and they were no longer Luo Rucai's subordinates.They were all driven here by Ji Dong's soldiers as if they were trying to drive livestock.

Lin Yi's team also gathered more and more, and Luo Rucai even saw Lin Yi's figure. He didn't know Lin Yi before, but when he heard someone calling him Lin Zongbing, Mr. Lin, the person and his name matched.

At this time, the scene just now appeared in his mind again: riding a lightning white dragon horse, wielding the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, he rushed over with a single knife, and chopped off his most valiant general, Dongshan Tiger, into the air.He could see that scene clearly and it was thrilling. At that time, he didn't know who this powerful general was, but it turned out to be the famous Lin Yi.

No wonder so, it really deserves its reputation.For Ji Dong's bravery and resourcefulness, Luo Rucai is now completely convinced.

"Everyone come here!" Although the soldiers of the Ming army did not kill the prisoners, they began to shout at the prisoners.

These countless rogue captives rushed to the designated location, Luo Rucai lowered his head, raised his hands and started to move with the rogue crowd.

I have to reveal my stuff for a while, what should I do?
Luo Rucai's eyes were chattering, and suddenly he ran to the river in a desperate manner. When he rushed out of the crowd, the officers and soldiers began to yell at him.

"Stop! Do you hear me?"

Following a few shouts, several archers aimed at him with their bows and arrows, and several gunmen raised their guns to aim.

"If you want to live, he can't run away!" Although Lin Yi didn't know Luo Rucai, he recognized him at a glance when he saw his clothes and posture. He must be a leader with a high status among the bandits.

The generals under Lin Yi didn't dare to shoot arrows, and they didn't dare to shoot guns anymore. Some of them started to chase after him.

Luo Rucai took advantage of this opportunity, and after a few steps, he jumped up and fell headfirst into the river.

Boom, the waves were several feet high, the silver crystals were scattered, and then nothing could be seen on the water.

Several officers and soldiers who were chasing him stopped by the river because none of them knew how to swim.

Only then did Luo Ru leave the river bank, already more than ten meters away.Looking back while splashing water.The officers and soldiers on the shore drew their bows, set up arrows, and raised their guns to aim at him, but none of them fired.

It would be safe to swim a little further. Luo Rucai had played to his death in the water. He had never swum so far before.

Water was poured into his mouth, and he drank a few sips, but he didn't care. He had to admit that the potential of a person in the state of fleeing for his life was incalculable.

At this moment, a powerful shadow passed by on the shore.It was Ji Dong, who didn't even take off his armor. After shouting, he jumped up from the horse, and after falling to the ground, he flew like flying, and reached the river in the blink of an eye.

When there were still more than ten meters away from the river, Lin Yi jumped up, head down in the air, and plunged his head into the river two or three feet away from the shore.

Boom——

This time the sound was louder, more than two feet higher than the waves that Luo Rucai stirred up.

"You know how to swim, go down quickly, catch the thieves, and protect the lord!" Zhang Hua and Erhu were afraid that Lin Yi would make a mistake, so they hurriedly yelled at these generals...

Ji Dong didn't come up for half a day after he fell below the river. The soldiers on the bank stared wide-eyed. Are you all right?Why didn't it come out of the water for so long?Although no one spoke, they all looked like this.

At this time, Zhang Hua and Erhu shouted for a long time before dozens of them stood up. They began to take off their clothes and then started to enter the water, but when they walked to the river and started to enter the water.

Someone shouted sharply, "Look quickly! Master Lin is over there!"

On the surface of the water in front of Luo Rucai's thumping, a head poked out, it was Ji Dong.

When the soldiers of the Ming army on the shore saw clearly, they were also a little dumbfounded. It was tens of meters away from the place where he fell into the water to the place where he poked his head out.Such a long distance can be passed under the water in one fell swoop, and who can bear it for such a long time under the water?The adult's water quality is so good?

Of course they didn't know that Ji Dong's career was in the Marine Corps before he came to this world.After several years of experience as a special soldier, he practiced holding his breath in the water, and his lung capacity is many times greater than that of ordinary people.Coupled with this kind of time-traveling physique, being in the water is similar to being at home.

Therefore, he swam under the water and robbed Luo Rucai before coming out of the water.

At this time, the dozens of generals who were about to go into the water were also stunned. They couldn't believe that their Master Lin was so capable in the water.

Luo Rucai was swimming forward desperately, when suddenly Ji Dong appeared in front of him.Panicked, he pulled out the short knife and stabbed at Ji Dong.

Lin Yi slapped out a palm, and a spray of water fell on Luo Rucai's face. Luo Cai gulped a big mouthful of water, his face was covered with water spray, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Lin Yi grabbed his knife-holding wrist and pressed it under the water. Luo Rucai's water skills were originally wandering around with a bottle full of water, but he was able to swim so far that he was already at a super level.This time, Ji Dong was pulled below the water surface, and drank boiling water with a gulp.

After a while, he was almost like an angry person, at the mercy of Ji Dong.Ji Dong took his hand and dragged him to the shore, then lifted him out of the water, and suddenly threw him onto the shore...
