"Woohoo, woooo

About 100 sergeants rushed with spears and broadswords, surrounded several fleeing Japanese robbers, led by a thousand households shook the hook and sickle in their hands, stabbed out with a shot, hooked down a vicious Japanese robber, and immediately saw that the ground was full of red blood, but the Japanese who had not yet been caught also wielded a long knife to slash, and because this widow was an old bandit after all, his skills were not trivial, and he actually hit the two sergeants in front of him, and a large piece of skin and flesh flew out with blood vessels, and the blood immediately flew out like a fountain.

However, the two sergeants pounced, the spear in their hands turned sharply, the Japanese avoided one, but could not avoid the second, the neck was pierced a large hole, and suddenly extremely miserable and panicked howl, causing the resonance of the other Japanese soldiers, these people muttered bird language, saw that they could not defeat the Ming army, so they turned their heads and went into the grass.

"Mighty, mighty!" The morale of the soldiers of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and they shouted in unison, and a killing aura suddenly echoed in the field, and the next second they pursued the fleeing Japanese robbers.

Pingjiang Bo Chen Xuan calmly commanded the battle situation, but when he found that these would-be robbers had fled from the grass and went straight in one direction, he immediately ordered: "Block their way!"

However, it was too late, and the would-be robbers had already stepped into the boat and disappeared into the vast sea, taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain.

Chen Xuan sighed, knowing that the sea was vast and immense, and once these would-be robbers entered the sea, it would not be easy to chase them. Just like the last time, he led the sailors to chase more than a dozen ships from Fujian to eastern Zhejiang, and he was still able to make people run away, which really made him angry.

"Don't chase anymore!" Chen Xuan collected the flag, and his subordinate generals said: "There are many islands along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Japanese are as cunning as foxes, so we have to follow what the uncle said, mainly attack these islands, these islands are the nests of the Japanese invaders, and only by destroying them can these Japanese robbers have no place to live." ”

However, how did he know about the nest of these widows, as he said, there are so many coastal islands that it is impossible to search them one by one. Chen Xuan was about to speak, but suddenly heard his subordinate say: "Uncle, there is a fisherman who said that he knows the nest of the Japanese robbers!"

Chen Xuan was shocked, and ordered someone to come up, and sure enough, it was a timid fisherman, this person saw Chen Xuan, and said: "My lord, the little people know where the thieves gathered, and when we went out to sea to fish, we saw it!"

Chen Xuan was overjoyed and said, "Where is it, do you remember, take us there!"

Soon the boatman set out, under the guidance of the fishermen, crossed the Phoenix Mountain, and marched into the East China Sea, and the fisherman pointed to the Phoenix Mountain and said: "There is a residual vein behind the mountain, surrounded by islands, and there is a large island, sitting on the deep sea. ”

In the middle of the sea and sky, I really saw the place where the island was located, but before Chen Xuan could observe the enemy situation and order to investigate, there were cannon stones hitting the sailor's ship approaching, Chen Xuan's heart tightened: "They found us!"

There is no choice but to fight, these widows actually have bowl cannons, which makes Chen Xuan unbelievable, he immediately let the Dalian bead cannon fired, and the rows of shots were over, and the small boats wandering around the island were hit, and the rogues on the boat squeaked and screamed, and a large number of them jumped into the sea.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, only to see a long smoke rise, the cannon stone whistled by, the Ming firearms were invincible at this time, the fleeing Japanese robbers shouted loudly, and when the ships approached, the Ming army rushed up in groups of three or five, holding all kinds of weapons, and the rumbling cannon suddenly sounded the sound of weapons fighting. A thick smell of blood filled his mouth and nose, and the stumps of flesh splattered, and blood rolled everywhere.

Chen Xuan commanded the soldiers to go ashore, and the figure of the Japanese running in a panic could be seen all the way, and then crying and being chased and hacked to death by the Ming army.

Once you landed on the island, you could fire ten thousand arrows at once, and suddenly there were thirteen or fourteen Japanese robbers on the island who were shot by a round of arrows, rolling on the ground screaming and struggling, leaving a pool of shocking blood. The remaining pirates screamed, but they had no bows and arrows to fight back, so they scattered and fled. Chen Xuan led the soldiers all the way to the lair, which was a simple house made of stone and wooden boards, with deep tunnels underneath, the gate was open, and some of the Japanese were fighting here, and some people were holding torches, as if they were about to set fire.

The Ming army immediately rushed up and killed these would-be robbers, and Chen Xuan, surrounded by officers and soldiers, entered the tunnel, and found that it was full of warehouses stacked with grain, as well as many cellars, all of which were large boxes with iron and copper locks. When it was smashed, it was white silver and all kinds of jewels and cloths.

Soon it was discovered that the population that had been plundered by the Japanese invaders, almost no young and middle-aged, all women huddled in a ball, about dozens of people, saw them with frightened faces and cried in a low voice, but soon found that they were not the Japanese invaders, but the army of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Xuan looked around the place for a long time, and he felt that this place was not like a Japanese settlement, but like a place for supplies on the way, which is why there are so many ships roaming around this island, but the island is so simple.

At this time, an officer and soldier suddenly rushed in: "Uncle, another enemy ship is approaching!"

Chen Xuan immediately ordered the officers and men to stand by, but they soon discovered that the ships approaching the island were large ships, not the usual small boats of the Japanese Invaders—and there were only two, one in front of the other, and they did not come any closer, but several flags of different colors were displayed on the boats, as if to signal the place.

"This is not a ship of the Japanese Invaders," Chen Xuanhu said suspiciously: "It seems to be a ship of a wealthy maritime merchant, and there are not many people in the Ming Dynasty who have such ships." ”

And the shadows on the big ship were shaking, and it seemed that they also noticed that this island was unusual, and they put away their flags, and immediately turned around and drove away.

However, Chen Xuan could not let them escape, these two ships, I am afraid that they are more suspicious than the ships of the Japanese Kou themselves - immediately commanded the boat division to intercept the ship, but the sea ships that were surrounded were also very arrogant, rampage, and seemed to have no fear. Chen Xuan also boarded the boat, and when he looked at the two ships up close, he was a little familiar.

Sure enough, the boat shouted, saying that you dare to stop the Qingyuan ship, and you are not afraid of how to suffer crimes, Chen Xuan heard the Qingyuan, and suddenly realized, it was indeed the sea ship of the prince's brother-in-law Zhang Sheng, he had patrolled the sea before, and he had seen it a few times, and once he helped them expel the following widows.

But this time, Chen Xuan felt that it was extraordinary, the Zhang family's ships knew about the place where the Japanese were supplied, and the flag was obviously sent to the Japanese on the island, why did they get involved with the Japanese invaders?

Chen Xuan suddenly thought that he had seen the Zhang family's ships a few times, only the first time was in the second year of Yongle, it was Zhang Sheng who asked him to help drive away the Japanese invaders, and then he never mentioned it again, I heard that the Qingyuan sea ship shipping business is proficient, only in Fujian Yuegang, there are five or six hundred ships, the sea is turbulent, but the biggest danger is still the Japanese robbers, Chen Xuan patrols the sea by himself, but he heard that the Zhang family's ships seem to be rarely robbed and capsized at risk, I don't know why at the time, but now he suddenly understands.
