Chapter 3

Kill Ah!

Lu Sanchuan, who was honest and honest, turned out to be abnormal and rushed to the front. He raised his saber and waved his head high, roaring towards the enemy formation. The brothers behind him saw that they were several times more powerful than the enemy, and they all had a strong fighting spirit and rode their horses and whipped their whips, and the formation suddenly became scattered.

Although the number of Japanese pirates was small, their combat experience was significantly richer than that of the baggage. More than twenty people quickly gathered together and formed a spindle formation. Lu Sanchuan waved the saber and slashed at the enemy facing him. The weapons intersected, and made a huge sound. Both of them shook a few times. Seeing that the enemy was guarding solidly, Lu Sanchuan was forced to troll his horse's head to the side and head northeast along the edge of the enemy's formation. The saber and the saber were intersecting with the Japanese swords and guns that extended from the enemy formation. A few sparks flashed by, and he was already shaking.

Just like the turbulent river water encountered a huge rock in the river, the superior number of troops not only did not hit the Japanese pirates that had contracted into a group, but the entire team was divided into two, and the formation became increasingly scattered. Although this round of impact killed four Japanese pirates, nearly ten of them fell off their horses and landed on the ground.

The enemy and our swords intersect often make the Japanese pirates more fierce and ignorant of their lives, which makes these baggage soldiers who have almost never been on the battlefield immediately frightened. Once they have the idea of ​​life and death, the results of the training can only be 50%. Many people have forgotten all the sword techniques I taught, and they just rely on their survival instinct to wield steel swords randomly. If the Qian-jen's saberata had the sharpness and resilience that was not inferior to the Japanese sword, and the Japanese pirates had mistakenly judged the opponent's weapons, the sacrificed brothers would probably have doubled.

Sanchuan, don’t panic, I’ll help you!

The decisive drink from internal force resounded over the Heishi Village, which made the somewhat panicked baggage soldiers feel energetic: It's sir, sir, are back! Everyone shouted and gathered towards me, and gradually formed a group behind me

The poisonous dragon spear slapped the horse's butt, and the war horse under his crotch roared and rushed towards the group of ninjas Lu Sanchuan and they didn't know that their opponents were not just the small group of Japanese pirates in front of them. If they didn't get rid of these ninjas as soon as possible, they would not only have to withstand the attacks of two Japanese pirates in front of them, but also once these baggage soldiers found that the number of enemies was still above me, the soldiers who were already afraid of the Japanese pirates' combat power would collapse immediately. Therefore, I gathered all my strength and waited for the poisonous dragon spear to make a thunder attack.

The distance of dozens of steps was quickly shortened to more than ten steps. In this short time, the enemy's formation had been adjusted. It seemed that he was well-trained. The leader saw that I had rushed to less than ten steps. With a sudden wave of his hand, he suddenly flew out of the enemy's formation and hit me at the enemy's formation.

The poisonous dragon spear only protected my body, but could not protect my mount. The horse's front legs became weak and fell to the ground.

However, I knew that the ninja hidden weapons were powerful, so I took advantage of the situation and flew up like a big roc. In the blink of an eye, I passed the man's head, kicked the Japanese out with one foot, and hit the companion behind him. I had already landed on the horse's back. The poisonous dragon spear swept with it, and then swept the four people around me, their weapons and their horses down.

Jie Yu leaped over my mount struggling on the ground, and cut off the head of the Japanese pirates who were blocking the way. The enemy formation had loosened. When I turned my horse's head and rushed towards the center of the enemy formation, the poisonous dragon spear knocked down two enemies like a poisonous snake. The remaining ninjas retreated from both sides with a huh, and the enemy formation suddenly broke down.

I can't see it... I didn't expect it... Wow, so brave! Yes, sir, you are such a tiger general!

Seeing that his chief general showed his power, the soldiers were surprised and happy, and they all cheered loudly. Thinking that military achievements were about to be obtained, many people were even more excited. They turned their horses and wanted to pursue them while they were victorious. When I restrained the soldiers and sorted out the team on the official road next to the woods, several more brothers had already died.

At this time, Tachiha Kanasuke also gathered a team of horses and appeared at the south entrance of the village. The square formation composed of nearly one hundred war horses was even more neat than the formation of the baggage soldiers behind me, Rika Kanasuke stood in front of the formation, holding a big flag in his left hand, and the sea breeze hit, and a powerful murderous intent suddenly surged as the flag rolled over.

The baggage soldiers immediately had a slight commotion, and many people even screamed in shock. Without taking a few people one by one, just looking at the size of the formation, we already knew that the number of enemies was comparable to our own side. Thinking that even the elite troops in the army could not defeat the Japanese pirates in one-to-one situation, the optimistic emotions that had just surged suddenly ran to Java, and panic and fear suddenly spread in the team.

Sir, should we retreat to Nanhuizui first, and then fight the Japanese pirates to the death after we meet with Lord Hu's team? Lu Sanchuan moved to me and whispered, "A big hole was opened by a gun on his right arm, and blood was flowing, and he couldn't even hold the knife. When he spoke, he felt cold sweat. Seeing this, Jie Yu hurried over and put on a knife medicine for him, and then he was extremely skillful in bandaging his wounds.

Retreat? A victory that is within reach is right in front of us. Why should we retreat?

In fact, I was hesitant. Compared with the Japanese pirates who had been through many battles, the combat power of these baggage soldiers was naturally far inferior. After a fight between Jie Yu, my strength was greatly reduced. Moreover, there were still experts like Tachiha Kanasuke in the enemy formation. The result of the two armies was clear at a glance. The only hope for victory was that Hu Lian could arrive at the battlefield in time before the entire army was destroyed, and most of the fruits of victory would fall into Hu Lian's hands.

My life is bound to the happiness of so many people, so naturally I cannot give it to others to control it, but such an opportunity to annihilate the enemy is really not easy to find. Besides, when you retreat, Chen Xiyi was the first to be able to spare me or escape. These two thoughts were swaying in my mind, but my expression was extremely firm, and my body was as straight as a pine tree, because I knew that even if I escaped, I needed morale. If the soldiers gathered on me found that their chief general was shaken at all, they might immediately scattered.

The strong fighting spirit and confident gaze that deliberately exuded was already very artificial in my opinion, but it achieved unexpected results. The team gradually calmed down, and confusion instead of fear appeared on everyone's faces.

victory?

Not bad, it's victory!

Looking at the changing expressions of these baggage soldiers, I flashed through my mind the figures of their swords waving in the valley. They retreated like this. I am afraid that these baggage soldiers will no longer have the courage to practice martial arts. How valuable is their existence? Calculate the time, it takes less than half an hour to Hu Lian, and I have already made up my mind to fight to the death.

The poisonous dragon spear was raised to the sky and said loudly: It won’t take long to see Lord Hu Lian’s two hundred elite soldiers arrive at the battlefield. Before that, let us despised baggage soldiers create a period of history! A head of ten taels of gold, and a fallen brother with a hundred taels of silver, kill Ah, and kill these Japanese pirates! The poisonous dragon spear took the lead in rushing out.

Go Ah!

I don't know if I have a deep hatred with the Japanese pirates or if the real money and silver are too attractive, the shouts from behind me were so majestic, and even my spirit was boosted. At the same time, Tachikawa Kansuke waved his sword and led the team to welcome him.

Five hundred steps away in the blink of an eye, the two armies disappeared in the rush of the two armies. Tachikawa Kansuke and I, who were in the first place, soon felt the fierce murderous dragon spear and the big sword of the opponent's weapons. My inner breath was stirring, and I was so sad that I almost vomited blood. I used all my strength to knock down the Japanese pirates who came out from behind Tachikawa. Then I seemed to have no strength, so I could only hold the poison dragon spear and dodge left and right, leaning on the sleeve arrow behind me to solve the two enemies in front of me. Song Suqing even put the short bird gun for saving my life into use. I only bought a moment, took a few deep breaths before I recovered a little strength.

Tachiha Kansuke even shook his body and almost fell off his horse. Jie Yu hated him. While protecting me, he did not forget to greet him with an arrow. Although he avoided the vital points of his heart, the sleeve arrow was still nailed to his right shoulder. The big knife could no longer hold it. He fell to the ground with a clang.

Tachiha Kanasuke was defeated! Tachiha Kanasuke was defeated!

Behind me, the Japanese words that Song Suqing screamed out came from, and the enemy's formation suddenly showed signs of panic. I secretly praised in my heart. Song Suqing was indeed clever and looked back. Although the baggage soldiers were extremely excited by my outstanding performance, their sword skills were extremely messy. So they tried their best to yell: The Japanese chief has been defeated! One knife and two pieces of cut!

Hearing this familiar command, the baggage soldiers subconsciously raised their long swords and slashed them down. The result of waving ten thousand times a day was finally revealed. Although several brothers were injured by the enemy because of adjusting their moves, eighty slashed them down together, not only forcing all the enemies on one side to retreat, but also seven or eight Japanese pirates were really cut off by one knife.

Seeing such fruitful results, the confidence of the baggage soldiers suddenly increased. Under the order of Lu Sanchuan, who replaced me, I used it in one move, one knife and two pieces, and I had achieved unexpected results. I just waited for our army to draw an arc and then turn to attack. The Japanese pirates had quickly contracted, but did not flee north along the official road, but began to turn, intending to attack our defenders. I also quickly reduced my formation and waited for the two armies to move back to their position before the war. I had lost seventeen baggage soldiers, but more than twenty Japanese pirates were left in the salt pond.

The one-to-one competition between the baggage soldiers and the Japanese pirates actually gained the upper hand, which made the soldiers temporarily forget the pain of losing their comrades and their fear of the enemy. They all looked at me in awe. After all, the army had known for a long time that I, the staff officer of the Japanese Suppression Camp, was not a military general. Although the baggage soldiers knew that my martial arts were good, it was another matter to lead the army to fight. After this battle, the soldiers finally established confidence in me, and the victory I mentioned seemed to be right in front of me.

But my attention was all focused on the enemy. The Japanese pirates gathered together and formed a circular defensive formation, which seemed to neither want to attack nor escape.

What mystery is Tachiha Kanasuke doing? Don’t he know that this place is less than a hundred miles away from the Kinshan Guard, and isn’t he afraid that there will be a large army behind me? Seeing his turtle-reducing appearance, he seemed to be waiting for someone, is it a sect or a Shenhuang?

If my judgment is correct, the transaction between the Shen family and the Sonse should be held in Heishi Village tonight. With Tachiha Kanasuke's status in the Sonse Group, he came to receive the future head of the Shen family. He was probably because he brought so many people because it was his first time doing business with the Shen family and did not trust each other enough. Then, he first met the people from the Middle Earth, and then was ambushed by the Ming army. Although there were not many people, he should have great doubts about Chen Huang!

Even so, he was still reluctant to leave here for a long time, so... I suddenly jumped in my heart: Could it be that he still has the opportunity to respond?

Thinking of Zong Shi and his two hundred Japanese pirates who had not appeared, a trace of uneasiness suddenly surged into my heart. The results of the battle in front of me did not confuse me. I just caught the enemy off guard. In terms of combat power, the enemy is still far above our army. Once it is really as I imagined, Zong Shi personally led his subordinates to respond, even if Hu Lian's two hundred elite soldiers, he would probably not be able to withstand the attack of the Japanese pirates.

Sir, order the attack!

Seeing me standing in front of the formation and thinking without saying a word, Lu Sanchuan urged that victory made him unable to calm down. He looked eager to try, and he didn't look like a man in his thirties, but rather a young man who had just started fighting the formation.

No, the whole army turned toward the north of Heishi Village. I slowly said

After killing forty or fifty Japanese pirates, the baggage soldiers also fought a battle, and they could explain it to anyone. It was now his life was important, but he felt a little regretful in his heart. If Chen Xiyi was willing to take the risk and let Hu Lian's entire army come to help, this battle would be nice.

Lu Sanchuan looked confused, and he saw that I looked solemn and knew that I had decided, so he ordered the team to move to the north of the village, most of the baggage soldiers were simple-minded, and thought I had come up with a new tactic, so he did not hesitate to execute my order.

After Xie Yu bandaged the wounds for several wounded men, he rode his horse back to me and lay on the horse's neck. He was so tired that he seemed to have no strength to speak. He just tilted his head and looked at me, his eyes full of fatigue.

Yu'er, it's fortunate that you brought you here, otherwise, you're not married yet, and you're afraid you'll be a widow. I put my arms around her and whispered in her ear: Go back, my husband, thank you very much

Someone saw it! Jie Yu said shyly, but his eyes were filled with relief. Seeing that my battle robe was covered with blood, although he knew that I was not injured, he still asked with concern.

I'm fine. I sorted out my armored robe for her. Thinking of Leaf Hua Kansuke's brute force martial arts, I was also a little scared. He fought too fiercely with him. When I entered the enemy formation, I was already weak like a baby. Even if I swallowed more than a dozen pieces of the healing medicine left by my master, my internal strength had only recovered to 30% of the usual ones. If I don't stop Leaf Hua, I will have to pay a price that I can't bear. Chen Xiyi said that the most difficult thing is in the hundred households. Attacking first and defending first, I'm really sincere.

The horse team slowly moved to the north of the village along the official road, but the Japanese pirates remained silent. Outside the Black Rock Cliff, the shadow of the big ship was vaguely visible. I thought Takika Kanasuke was afraid that I would set up an ambush in secret. As soon as I arrived at the north entrance of the village, I heard a burst of rapid horse hooves coming from the north official road.

After a while, a team of rushing gradually came into view. Although they couldn't see the appearance of the knights, they were wearing standard armor for the Japanese-suppressing camp. The baggage soldiers danced excitedly: Reinforcements are here! Lord Hu is here! The Japanese-savage who killed his grandmother Ah!

Only my face changed, and soon Jie Yu discovered something strange. This team of cavalry was undoubtedly Hu Lian's unit who came to reinforce. However, they either tilted their helmets or tore their battle jackets. Some people had no weapons in their hands, and even disappeared in the military flag. No matter how they looked, they seemed to be running for their lives.

No! I quickly woke up from my surprise and understood that Hu Lian's army must have been ambushed by Japanese pirates: Damn, how could Zongshe know about Hu Lian's marching route?! But now there is no time to think about it. This thought only flashed through my mind. I knew that my troops were stuck on the escape route of Hu Lian's army. Once these deserters were chasing the team, there was only one dead end. So the poisonous dragon spear was raised again and shouted: Brothers, reinforcements have arrived, the back team will become the front team, and kill the thieves with me! After that, I rode my horse along the official road and galloped southwest.

The burning fighting spirit of the baggage soldiers had reached its peak at this moment, but when they heard the word "kill", their blood was boiling. What's more, in their hearts, their side had already occupied an absolute advantage in numbers, and their courage was even more bold and brave. Everyone followed behind our horses with yelling, and they stabbed straight at the Japanese pirates led by Tachikawa Kanasuke.

Actually, I just want to break out of an escape road to Takurin Town, but at this moment, a strange horn sound suddenly came from behind me. Takika Kanasuke from the south of the village seemed to have received some order. The horse team immediately launched and rushed towards the northwest. The intention was very obvious, and it was to block my way.

However, the sandy salt pond delayed the speed of the horse team. Before Takiya Kawaka could block me, he cut off the unidentified baggage camp in half and saw that the enemy did not escape the anti-war, and he was even more excited. With a sharp spirit, there was a forest on the other side of the official road, the horses could not enter at all. The Japanese pirates under Takiya had to adjust the attack route, but were actually rushed out of a big gap by the baggage soldiers. Only then did they realize that their chief general did not turn the horse head to attack the enemy, but ran wildly towards Takilin Town along the official road. Only then did they feel that things were not as they imagined, and then followed me in a confused manner.

Running seven or eight miles in one breath, I could not hear the shouts of the Japanese pirates behind me. I turned around and found that the enemy no longer pursued the troops. The baggage soldiers discovered that the so-called reinforcements were actually a group of defeated soldiers, and they were all panic again.

During the process of the troops' transfer, they were attacked by Japanese pirates five miles away from Heishi Village. Lord Hu was killed and Lord Xu disappeared.

Although such bad news was expected, a trace of sadness rose in my heart. In just five miles, Hu Lian's two hundred elite soldiers, including Xu Shan's subordinates who are accustomed to fighting, currently only more than 30 people are left, and the number of baggage soldiers is less than 100. The losses of the Japanese pirates are said to be less than one-third of their own. In this way, after Zong Shi and Lihua Kan Assistant joined forces, their troops were at least twice as strong as mine. I no longer have the strength to entangle the sect in Heishi Village to wait for Chen Xiyi to arrive. Thinking about the fact that I had to use baggage soldiers to block Zong Shi before the war, I was really ignorant of the sky and earth.

Zongshe gave up the pursuit because he wanted to retreat from Heishi Village. He didn't know how his dealings with the Shen family were doing?

Listening to Song Suqing's whisper, my eyes lit up. It was close to Jinshan Guard, and Zongshi didn't dare to stay for a long time. But if you retreat from the sea, the troops on land would inevitably become weaker and weaker. Sneak attack on his rear guard might be able to make the situation back and turn the defeat into a harmonious situation. It is not clear that the coastal reefs near Heishi Village are densely packed, and there is only a long narrow waterway suitable for large ships to enter and exit. Will Zongshi choose to retreat from here?

But just a little bit of hope has made me unable to choose anything: bet on luck!

Thinking of this, I looked at the depressed soldiers and said in a deep voice: We have not failed yet!
