Liu Shucheng knew that diving into the sea could confuse their view, but he couldn't do that, as it wouldn't draw the Dongyi warships to chase him.
A rain of arrows soon descended from the colossal warship, piercing into the sea water, some grazing past Liu Shucheng... past his arm, his shoulder... his face, some even penetrating his right shoulder armor, but he couldn't stop. This was a gamble they risked their lives for, even if he died, he had to row a bit closer to the small boat, making them notice that boat following him.
Liu Shucheng barely swam far when he heard someone shout again: "General Liu! Hurry!"
Head down, focusing on swimming, Liu Shucheng saw Zhou naval soldiers on the small boat shouting at him, "Hurry, General Liu!"
Gritting his teeth, Liu Shucheng dove into the water, surrounded by the swishing arrows, using the last bit of strength to swim to the side of the boat, but he... was already exhausted...
