Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 829 The oriole is behind
"Maybe the Ming army wants to rest for a while after days of attack..." Chen Zuyi thought. At this point, he could only comfort himself in this way.

But deep down in his heart, there was always a sense of uneasiness, which made his right eyelid twitch.

"No, we have to do something..."

Sailing on the sea mostly depends on God's will. Therefore, sailors often worship gods and Buddhas. As a pirate, Chen Zuyi did not dare to despise ghosts and gods. He thought that this uneasiness might be a warning from ghosts and gods, so he sat down again.

"Go and bring all the remaining kerosene to the vicinity of the mountain pass for me." After pacing back and forth and thinking for a long time, Chen Zuyi finally felt that he should do something.

After he finished giving the order, the leader he was commanding was stunned and asked in confusion: "Boss, what about the hidden kerosene?"

"Aren't we going to pretend that the fire is burning out so as to lure Ming Gouzi into the trap? Besides, it's getting dark today..."

"You are so smart? Don't I know?" Chen Zuyi roared fiercely, scaring the little leader to shrink his head. "Ming Gouzi's movements are abnormal, he must be planning something, you know?"

"We thought of hiding the kerosene and doing something ruthless to them. Maybe Ming Gouzi would decide not to come during the day, so that you guys can relax at night and take advantage of the darkness to take advantage of you."

"I am preparing for a rainy day. This is the art of war. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand..." The little leader didn't dare to say anything more, he could only nod and humbly. "Yes, yes, the leader is a great military strategist, Ming Gouzi's tricks can't be hidden..."

"Go, and get someone to notify the White Lotus Sect... If Ming Gouzi dares to come tonight, I will burn them all to death in this mountain!"

"Everyone, stay alert. You have all seen how powerful the Ming army is in the past few days. They don't look like humans, but more like giant insects wearing human skin."

"The reason why you killers can compete with them is because I used a trick to trap these big insects in a cage, so that they can't use their claws and fangs..."

"Only if we block the Ming army in this mountain can you survive, and I can control the Ming court, and then I can have a lot of gold and silver in the future... But if you are weak, let these beasts break through the mountain pass."

"Don't even think about making a fortune by following me... You will all die! If you want to survive and make a fortune, then hold this mountain pass tightly. When this is over, I will reward you with a huge amount of gold!"

The minions moved the remaining flaming oil to a place near the mountain road where the Ming army broke through. Chen Zuyi encouraged morale everywhere, and his instructions had been passed down. After these words, the pirates who had been slacking off all perked up and stared at the direction of the mountain road without blinking.

Chen Zuyi's uneasiness finally dissipated a little. He looked at his own people and the foreigners and Nanyang people they commanded. The remaining uneasiness awakened the bandit in his heart. "Come on, Ming Gouzi, come on."

"I don't believe you can kill so many of my men... unless you are all heavenly soldiers and generals..."

As he thought about it, he was actually looking forward to the Ming army really coming down the mountain tonight and engaging him in a head-on bloody battle.

Just as he was ready to fight, he heard a sudden noise from the rear army behind him. Chen Zuyi couldn't help but frown, his face full of displeasure.

His group was composed of his trusted Han Chinese pirates, who drove the slaves of the foreigners and the Nanyang people. Although the foreigners and the Nanyang people were ignorant, there would occasionally be slaves who were unwilling to be beaten and exploited by the pirates and rebelled. When the pirates suppressed them, there would inevitably be some noise. So when Chen Zuyi heard the noise, he would automatically think that one of his subordinates had forced the slaves to riot.

Although he scolded them, he didn't take it to heart. Those pig-like foreigners and South Sea people were no match for his pirates, and they couldn't cause any trouble. Usually, such riots would be quelled in a short time, so he just asked the small leader of the rear team to speed up the handling and not to delay the important work.

But tonight's riot seemed to last a little longer. Chen Zuyi no longer paid attention to the back and shifted his attention to the mountain road in front. But after a long time, the commotion behind him seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Chen Zuyi, who could no longer bear it, finally cursed loudly: "What's going on? Are all those bastards behind us dead? Didn't you hear my order?"

However, the confidant who was sent to deliver the message came back in panic. When he saw Chen Zuyi, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground. "Sea King... Boss, something bad has happened, something bad has happened..."

"Why are you keeping me in suspense? Tell me! What's wrong? Is it the Nanyang people who rebelled, or are those damn foreigners rebelling?" Chen Zuyi cursed.

"Neither a Nanyang person nor a foreigner..."

"It's the Ming people. The Ming people are attacking from behind!"

"What?" Chen Zuyi was stunned. His first reaction was that Tang He, the Duke of Dingguo of the Ming Dynasty in Dadu Port, was attacking. But then he thought it was unlikely. He had ambushed more than one group of secret sentries near Dadu Port, monitoring the movements of the Ming army in the port day and night... If there were any unusual movements by the Ming army in Dadu Port, he would not be unaware of it.

Since they were not Ming troops in Dadu Port, where else could there be other Ming troops in Dawan Island? Chen Zuyi was about to rebuke this confidant for disrupting the morale of his troops, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a flaming red flag with the sun and the moon hanging in the sky, fluttering in the night. Chen Zuyi couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "Really... there are really Ming troops?"

"The Ming army has arrived. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot! Whoever captures the bandit leader Chen Zuyi and surrenders him will be pardoned and rewarded with a thousand gold coins!" On the other side, along with the fluttering flags of the Ming army, the shouts of the Ming army and the sounds of swords clashing came into Chen Zuyi's ears.

In the light of the fire, a large banner with the words "Zhou Wang Su" appeared in Chen Zuyi's sight. Chen Zuyi was immediately frightened: "How is it possible? Zhou Wang Zhu Su? How could he get behind me?"

He suddenly remembered a legend he had heard from a Ming merchant he had robbed: Zhu Su, the King of Zhou in the Ming Dynasty, was the son of an immortal, with the ability to go to heaven and into the earth. He once flew to heaven with four great Confucian scholars to refute the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism's fallacy of the interaction between heaven and man...

"Are there really immortals in this world?" Chen Zuyi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

After all, he was the king of pirates in the South Seas. Although he was frightened, Chen Zuyi still shouted at his men, "Quick, quick, flaming oil, push the flaming oil up."

"Pour it out, pour out all the flaming oil, burn these damn Ming dogs to death!"

In the rear team, the Ming army and his confidants, as well as many foreigners and Nanyang people, were already fighting each other, and it was difficult to distinguish between them. If fierce flaming oil was used at this time, I am afraid that countless of Chen Zuyi's men would be burned to death. But at this time, Chen Zuyi's eyes were filled with fear and madness, and it was obvious that he could not care less.
