Chapter 399: Robbery while the fire is on
"Let's go!"
Xia Xun took Ming'er's little hand and ran desperately, but unfortunately the sand on the beach was soft, and a few widows behind were barefoot, because of their short bodies, they were even running longitudinally, like frogs, but the speed was extremely fast, and the two of them couldn't run fast with boots, especially Ming'er's little girl, who was not good at running after all.
A Japanese man chased after him with a long knife in his hand, and he didn't know what to shout when he was chattering, and it was estimated that the translation into Chinese would be "Flower girl, big drop beautiful, and so on."
Xia Xun saw that the widow was chasing more and more urgently, and suddenly a pile of Ming'er's backs sent her out three feet, her body fell down, she turned around, and the sand in her hands was raised.
The widow who was salivating and staring at Ming'er saw that Xia Xun was dressed in ordinary people's clothes, and he didn't pay attention to him at all, these people only had to flee for their lives when they saw them, and they hadn't seen a few who dared to resist angrily, so his attention was all on the flower girl, and as a result, a puff of sand and soil was scattered, his eyes were confused, and a handful of sand was poured into his mouth.
The man was so angry that he shouted, a Japanese sword in his hand danced like a windmill, and before he could blink his eyes to recover his sight, he was stomped on his lower back, although his chassis was very stable, but this kick was extremely powerful, and he was still stomped down, and his body was just hit by the sand, and before he could get up, he was kicked on the neck again, and this kick was stomped hard, "Click, a sound actually broke his neck, and the whole person fell into the sand."
Xia Xun picked up the Japanese knife and swiped it in his hand, the texture was really good, it seemed that this Japanese had at least some status in the Japanese country. With a knife in his hand, he became emboldened, stood up, and looked out onto the beach.
He didn't expect his luck to be so bad, he finally arrived at the beach, sneakily wanted to find a boat to send him out to sea, but around and around, found that there were a large number of boats on the beach, but there was no one, Xia Xun was surprised, and suddenly saw a team of officers and soldiers rushing quickly, soldiers surrounded a general, the general officer rode a horse, holding a big knife in his hand, murderous.
Xia Xun was taken aback when he saw this, only to reveal his whereabouts, and hurriedly took Ming'er to hide in a bush. The topography of this place is a concave bay, and there are many ships moored in the bay, because the shore extends to a hill, so small trees, weeds, and swamps are everywhere, and it is also easy to hide.
Xia Xun and Ming'er hid in the grass, and when they saw that the officers and soldiers arrived at the beach without saying a word, they went to set fire to the boat, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Didn't the officers and soldiers come for me?" ”
Those officers and soldiers scattered in all directions, divided into small and large ships, were busy, then a group of pirates shouted and pounced from the shore, the officers and soldiers saw this, they gave up burning the ship, went ashore to fight with them, Xia Xun found that these pirates clothing, hairstyle, height, very much like the Dongying people, and then listening to their shouting language, sure enough, the judgment was correct, can not help but be even more shocked.
Why did the officers and soldiers rush to the beach to burn the ship first, and then the Japanese appeared from behind them, also from the land direction, what was going on? Immediately afterwards, the Japanese who you chased and killed found Xia Xun and Ming'er hiding in the grass, and when they saw that this little girl was cute and cute, several Japanese who found them were very moved, so they chased after them. Xia Xun has already killed someone, and he doesn't know what happened here.
As soon as the other few people who caught up saw that the Han people had killed their people, they were ferocious, and gave up the flower girl for the time being, and they all came to Xia Xun together, since Xia Xun had moved, he didn't plan to leave, he waved the long knife in his hand, and the weight was still suitable, so he shouted, and a move "force split Huashan" to the nearest Japanese robber.
The wolf was startled, he didn't expect this person's waist, arm, and knife to be so coordinated, this knife down the tiger and tiger, compared to their first-class swordsmen, it was not far behind, hurriedly made the knife to meet, Xia Xun turned with the knife, the knife flashed, and it had changed into a sweep, "Poof, the ground, the frog in front of him, cut the waist in half, the intestines and internal organs were sprinkled on the ground, blood splashed, miserable.
Ming'er exclaimed when she saw it, her pretty face turned pale, and she almost spit it out.
A Japanese coward was stunned, and did not rush up immediately to make a move, but said something to him in Japanese, Xia Xun was stunned: "What do you say?" ”
Only then did he notice that the widow in front of him was not dressed like an ordinary widow, and he rarely wore shoes on his feet. Xia Xun had dealt with the Japanese envoys, and looking at his hairstyle, dress, especially his dark teeth, he seemed to be a nobleman, and he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
He glanced at the surrounding few Japanese robbers, because as soon as this person asked, he immediately stopped attacking, although because of the death of his companions, they were all angry and inexplicable, but their attitudes were extremely respectful, and their demeanor was between advancing and retreating, and there was also some discipline, and his heart couldn't help but move: "Are they really just ordinary Japanese robbers?" Still is...... Yi Jun is a bandit? ”
Xia Xun did not forget that on the return journey of the Japanese envoys, they were humiliated by the pirates of Shuangyu Island, and finally stripped them naked and robbed their ships before driving them away.
The widow was also a little strange, and changed to Chinese again: "Yours, Ming people? Japanese? ”
"Of course Lao Tzu is from the Ming Kingdom!"
Xia Xun understood what he was asking, let out a long laugh, and the long knife in his hand was raised again.
Xia Xun's knife technique is learned from Hu Jiuliu, Hu Jiuliu's knife technique is very powerful ancient knife method, and Xia Xun has also seen Feng Xihui's two-handed knife method, the Japanese knife method draws heavily on the ancient knife method of the Chinese Cretaceous Kingdom, in fact, it is a manifestation of the two-handed knife method, and now Xia Xun uses a Japanese knife, which naturally integrates the characteristics of Feng Xihui and Hu Jiuliu's knife technique, and makes the knife with both hands, and the method of luck is very similar to the Japanese knife method.
He used the ancestor of Japanese swordsmanship, but the Japanese regarded him as a Japanese, and in his opinion, no one in the Central Plains should have used their Japanese swords so skillfully. Seeing that Xia Xun admitted that he was from the Ming Kingdom, the Japanese were furious, and immediately raised his sword to greet him, and several other Japanese were not lazy, and the death of his companions did not make them afraid, but aroused their hostility.
Xia Xun held a knife in both hands, and in a daze, he fought with a few Japanese robbers......
Xia Xun took a lot of effort to solve these widows, after the suspected Japanese aristocratic widow was killed by him, several of the surrounding widows howled like a dead father, one by one desperately pounced on him, there is a posture of exchanging life for life, Xia Xun is even more determined, this widow's identity is not simple, especially after taking his knife, this person's knife is better than the knife just now, two of the widows were cut in two by him with a knife, so that such a good knife, how can it be a poor pirate.
Xia Xun secretly had doubts in his heart, if he had the opportunity, he would find out about this matter.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The number of Ming soldiers on the beach was much smaller than that of these Japanese soldiers, who had been scattered due to the burning of their ships separately, and could not give full play to their collective combat skills, and the individual soldiers were slightly inferior to these Japanese in martial arts, so that as soon as they engaged, they were defeated and retreated. However, Xia Xun noticed that the general on horseback was dancing with a long knife, but he was unstoppable, and after he solved the few Japanese who besieged him, the general on that horse had killed dozens of Japanese criminals.
"What a fierce general!"
Xia Xun knew that although this person took advantage of horsepower and long knives, but after rushing to kill all the way, he could solve many enemies so quickly, and his martial arts were so high, I am afraid that he was not much worse than himself. At this moment, I saw that the general shook his body and hurriedly lifted the reins, but the horse did not jump out. It turned out that the sand was soft and muddy, and when the horse was galloping, the horse's hooves sank into a mud puddle, and he couldn't pull it out.
"Not good!"
Xia Xun couldn't help but change his face when he saw that a few would-be robbers took the opportunity to surround Na Ming. The horse general was dressed in armor and held in his hand a long knife that made him a horse fighter, and if he fought on foot, he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat these nimble and mouse-like whirling people.
Xia Xun hurriedly glanced around, and saw that the Japanese and the Ming soldiers were fighting each other, and before they took care of them, he hurriedly said to Ming'er: "Quick, go to the boat and hide, don't walk around!" After saying that, he pulled his feet and ran towards the Ming general who was stuck in the mud.
On the beach, a small boat to be repaired was dragged ashore, just in the grass, Ming'er listened to his instructions, and hurriedly crouched to the side of the boat to cover it, and at the same time quietly poked his head out to watch where Xia Xun went.
Xia Xun was a step late, those would-be robes reacted very quickly, as soon as they saw that the Ming generals who had killed many of them were trapped in the quagmire, they immediately attacked like flies that saw blood, and attacked in groups, bullying the Ming generals' long knives and armor, and they didn't turn well.
"Kill!"
Xia Xun shouted, and a widow just stabbed Na Ming into the stomach, and before he could draw the knife, he was cut in half by Xia Xun's slanted shoulder strap and crotch. The knife in Xia Xun's hand is really a good knife, Xia Xun estimates that with the sharpness of this knife, it is at least a three-carcass knife, which is the kind of fast knife that can break the bodies of three people with one knife.
Xia Xun stabbed down, the tip of the knife was a little on the sand, the mud and sand splashed with blood, and he raised it to a widow on the opposite side, taking advantage of the moment his eyes narrowed, a knife was caught in the man's stomach, until it reached the handle, forcing the man to retreat seven or eight steps in a row, taking the opportunity to dodge the long knives of several other widows, and then drew the knife and turned back to fight again.
Ming'er hid behind the boat, covered her mouth with her little hands, and looked at Xia Xun in surprise, as Xia Xun fled all the way, it was not the first time she saw Xia Xun do it, but she had never seen Xia Xun kill people so quickly, so accurately, and so ruthlessly!
Seeing his amazing sword skills, several Japanese robbers immediately formed a semicircle very tacitly and forced him to stop.
Xia Xun leaned against the sea with his back to the sea, the sun above his head, the roaring waves under his feet, holding the knife in both hands, and staring at a few Japanese robbers in front of him with murderous vigour, majestic as a god, that kind of momentum, not like being surrounded by people, but as if he had surrounded several Japanese robbers alone.
"What a majesty! What a spirit! ”
Ming'er looked at him with a pair of bright eyes, her eyes were suddenly a little fascinated, her heart was cocoa, her pink fists were clenched, and she was so excited that she just wanted to shout loudly: "Uncle...... No! My brother is so majestic! This is a real man, and he is worthy of being my Xu Miaojin's husband! Ming'er is going to condemn you! Do you know, Brother Yang Xu! ”
The general pulled out the knife that was stabbed in his body, holding his long knife in one hand and covering his lower abdomen with the other, and tried to get up from the ground, but he couldn't get up after a few struggles, and he couldn't help this sudden righteous man, so he had to stare at him anxiously and nervously.
Xia Xun confronted a few Japanese in front of him, and suddenly saw the dust in the distance, and a team of men and horses rushing, looking at the fluttering flag, it was clearly the Ming army, his heart was relieved, and the corners of his mouth showed a cold smile. Those few widows also seemed to hear the sound behind them, and began to feel a little uneasy, and their eyes were also a little fluttering, at this time!
The knife in Xia Xun's hand was slightly on one side, and a bright cold light swept over the eyes of several widows in front of him, and at the same time, Xia Xun swooped over like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the knife in his hand splashed out a fan-shaped wheel of light, and blood splashed everywhere......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"My lord! My lord! ”
After the Ming reinforcements arrived, the Japanese saw that the Ming army had a lot of reinforcements, and began to seize the ships that had not yet burned and prepared to go to sea.
"Good martial arts, really good martial arts!"
The general was dying, he looked at Xia Xun with a smile and asked, "You...... You don't come from a military background, do you? It's a pity, if you were a lieutenant general in our army, how nice it would be! ”
It turned out that this Ming general was a thousand households in the Qiancang Guard Office in Xiangshan County, called Yi Shaozong. Since last month, a large number of pirates have suddenly invaded the coast, at first there are the pirates of the Creceous countries on Shuangyu Island, and the deception they have caused to the coastal people is not serious, but then their strength has suddenly increased, and the bandits on Shuangyu Island are not strong, and they begin to retreat from the defense line, and they will pounce on the shore like blood-sucking mosquitoes and flies.
In previous years, there were also Japanese raids, and the time was also this time period, but this year seems to be very special. After hearing the news, Yi Shaozong immediately ordered his troops and horses to gather his headquarters and ordered 700 people to rescue the county seat with Xu Kaiyang, and he led 300 people to copy the back road of the Japanese invaders, wanting to burn all the ships of the Japanese and completely eliminate them, so as to prevent future troubles.
Unexpectedly, these Japanese robbers have the scum of the Ming people along the coastal beach to do eyeliner, they have not yet arrived in Yishan County, and they hurried back after hearing the news, Yi Shaozong had a bloody battle, the horse lost his front hoof, and was besieged, and he was stabbed several times, Xia Xun saw that his face was pale, and his injuries were so serious, that he could not survive, and he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.
Yi Shaozong asked Xia Xun to sit up, seeing that many of the Japanese who had already grabbed the ship and went to sea were far away, and couldn't help but say regretfully: "The coast is long, and it is impossible to garrison troops everywhere, and no matter how strict the prevention is, it will not be able to prohibit the attacks and harassment ......of the Japanese people, but it is a pity that I have a coastal guard post, and the ships can only sail in the inner lake, and they cannot withstand the wind and waves of the distant sea, otherwise, they can go to sea to suppress the bandits, smash their foundation, and let them come when they want to, and leave if they want." ”
Xia Xun blurted out: "General, sooner or later we will have our own ocean-going fleet, and our fleet will be an invincible fleet, which will be as huge as a moving castle." Everywhere you go, you don't surrender! Those who are disrespectful, capture their kings! What are the mere widows! ”
"I hope ...... I hope that one day......"
Yi Shaozong smiled and spit out a mouthful of turbidity, tilted his head, and fell into Xia Xun's arms, his eyes were still looking at the place where the Japanese disappeared in the distance, with unwillingness, hatred and regret in his eyes, but the look in his eyes had dissipated a little......
The soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, and Deputy Qianhu Xu Kaiyang and Xia Xun carried Yi Shaozong to the hillside and put it down silently.
Xia Xun couldn't help but ask: "General, since you know that the Japanese have been attacking the border very frequently recently, and there are many of them, why don't you ask for more reinforcements from the top?" Relying only on the soldiers and horses of Xiangshanwei, it is inevitable to take care of one or the other. ”
Xu Kaiyang sighed: "The reinforcements are not local residents, how long can they be stationed here?" Besides, I haven't been able to hire a single soldier lately. ”
"How?"
Xu Kaiyang smiled bitterly: "You little couple came here from Hezhou to join their relatives, and along the way, you must not know that the army of King Yan has arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the imperial court sailors have been transferred to resist the enemy." ”
Xia Xun was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "What? King Yan has arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River? ”
Deputy Xu Qianhu said: "Yes, King Yan is about to cross the river, and the officials around the country are pumping Ding and going to King Qin in Jinling, you said that you can't find relatives to defect, I guess they are probably also conscripted to Jinling, now the army is in chaos, you don't go around, just live in Xiangshan County for a while, and wait for the overall situation to settle down." If there's anything going on, just tell me. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Xia Xun and Ming'er glanced at each other, unable to hide the surprise in their hearts: "King Yan has arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and Ji Gang must have delivered the news." ”
As soon as he thought of this, the idea of going to sea had already been thrown out of the clouds by him, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly to the Yangtze River battlefield where the two armies were facing each other.
Looking at the messy battlefield and the dead bodies all over the ground, Xia Xun clenched the three-carcass knife in his hand. He had found the scabbard, and he wanted to take it as his trophy. On the handle of the knife there was a family crest, which was a circle, and in the middle was the shape of a flower petal.
He didn't believe that the sudden increase in the number of Japanese pirates this year was an accident, and these people must have a lot to do with Mitsuo Shimazu and others who were stripped naked and returned to Japan.
King Yan is about to cross the river, the world is about to change hands, a new era is coming, and he, he will also have the opportunity to reprimand and create a lifelong career.
He hoped that one day, he would be able to take this sharp sword and drive the Ming Dynasty's ocean-going giant ship to Dongying in person, bring back the culprit who instructed the Japanese to invade our maritime frontier, and comfort General Yi's spirit in the sky and the people suffering along the coast.
He believes that there will be a day when there will be!! ~!
