With the addition of Li Jie and them, the seriously injured were quickly treated, and the dead in the village were also collected and temporarily placed in another threshing floor, where the villagers who had lost their loved ones sat beside the corpses and wept bitterly, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Jie also sighed, and the indignation in his heart against the Japanese invaders deepened again.

At this time, it was not early, Lao Li was asking people to find food, and began to prepare hot water and food, after all, no matter how sad it was, the food still had to be eaten, especially there were old people and children in the village, and there were so many wounded, it was not okay not to eat.

But at this moment, Jiang Zhen quietly came to Li Jie's side and whispered: "Li Banyu, the situation is a little wrong!" ”

Just now, Li Jie took people to treat the wounded, but Jiang Zhen disappeared, and Li Jie didn't know where he went, and he didn't appear until now.

"What's wrong?" Li Jie asked a little absent-mindedly, a village was destroyed, and Tang He didn't know if he could catch up with the Japanese invaders, if he really let the Japanese escape, I am afraid it would cause a big blow to their morale on this trip.

"According to past experience, after the Japanese went ashore, they mainly looted, but just now I carefully checked the situation in the village, and found that the food and materials in the village were not robbed much, but many villagers were killed and injured, which is not like the style of the Japanese robbers!" Jiang Zhen whispered again.

Li Jie was also alert when he heard this, and immediately asked, "You mean to say that someone pretended to be a widow this time?" ”

"It's not like impersonation, but I think the Japanese have other ......."

Just before Jiang Xuan's words were finished, he suddenly heard the sound of alarm drums from the two warships docked on the other side of the dock, attracting everyone's attention to the sea.

"Not good! The Woko are here again! Only then did they realize that not far away on the sea, a chaotic fleet of ships was rushing towards them, and it was so fast that it was about to rush to the dock.

"Oops, it's a trick!" Jiang Zhen also roared angrily when he saw this, he finally understood at this time, the reason why the previous Japanese robbers only cared about killing people was to attract the Ming Dynasty's naval army, and then there was another Japanese army ambushed nearby, and this Japanese army was the main force of looting.

"Li Banyu, hurry up and get on the warship!" Jiang Xuan said that he grabbed Li Jie's arm and was about to run to the side of the warship, after all, Tang He had already handed over Li Jie's safety to him before coming, if Li Jie had any accidents, he might not be able to survive, and now the only way to survive is to get on the warship, although there are many Japanese ships, but they are all small boats, and they still have the possibility of escaping when they get on the warship.

However, Li Jie shook off Jiang Zheng's hand and said righteously: "This is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and behind it is my people of the Ming Dynasty. ”

When Li Jie said this, he also turned his head to look at the sailors around him, and immediately ordered: "Line up!" Meet the enemy! Today there is no enemy and no me, and there is no enemy in me! ”

"Subordinates obey!" The hundred households who accompanied him immediately gave a loud order, and when Jiang Zhen wanted to return to the ship just now, he and his subordinates did not move at all, because they knew that with the speed of the Japanese boat, they would definitely kill them to the dock before they boarded the ship, and it would be even more disadvantageous to engage the enemy in a hurry.

Li Jie also saw the above, in addition, there were so many people behind him, if he escaped, these people would probably face the slaughter of the Japanese again, which he couldn't get over in his conscience no matter what, so even if he had a chance to escape, he would never choose.

Fang Guan's naval army is still very elite, with the order of the hundred households, the general flag and the small flag below are also immediately in the whole team, and then rushed to the dock to meet the enemy, and at this time the Japanese have really rushed to the shore, there are very few soldiers left on the warship, and they can't stop the attack of the Japanese at all, and finally they simply abandon the ship and go ashore and join their own team.

"@#¥%#@%¥......" The first Japanese had already jumped on the dock, and then brandished a long knife and rushed towards the Ming army, these Japanese were outlaws, even if they saw the Ming army, they did not flinch, not to mention that the number of the Ming army in front of them was not much, and they would not be taken into account by the Japanese army.

"Fire!" However, at this time, the hundred household officials gave an order, and the musketeers who had already prepared immediately opened fire, they still used old-fashioned arquebuses, after all, flintlock pistols were still only supplied to the northern border army, but they had already used paper-wrapped bullets, which made the shooting speed much faster, and they did not have to worry about the gunpowder being damp.

"Woo~" With the first round of volleys, the Wako who rushed to the front suddenly leaned back, and then fell to the ground and died, but the Wako behind still shouted and rushed over.

There were not many musketeers under the hundred households, and they were equipped with two small flags, that is, twenty people, and if they were divided into three teams, they could shoot no more than six or seven people each time, although several of the Japanese fell to the ground in each round of shooting, but it was difficult to prevent the Japanese from landing.

As more and more of the Japanese came ashore, these Japanese also rushed over under the command of the chief, and they were about to engage with the naval army, and the muskets were useless at this time, after all, they could not be shot at all in the chaos, otherwise they might even hurt their comrades.

"The pikemen are in front, the sword and shield hands are in the back, kill!" Baihu ordered again, and then the formation of the navy changed, the pikemen raised their spears to resist the enemy in front, and the sword and shield men ambushed behind the pikemen, and listened to the Hou's order to step forward at any time to fight with the Japanese in close combat, which was also the most commonly used tactics of the Ming army.

Hand-to-hand combat is always the most cruel, when the Japanese and the Ming army collided together, Li Jie in the rear was also a little unbearable, but now is not the time for a woman's benevolence, he and Lao Li are organizing the men in the village, and at the same time distributing some machetes and farm tools to everyone, if the Ming army in front is defeated, it will depend on them to support.

In addition, the uninjured women and the elderly were also mobilized, and they took their children and carried the wounded and began to move to the hill behind the village, where the road was rugged and difficult to defend.

Originally, Li Jie still had a little hope in his heart, if the navy army in front of him could repel the Japanese invaders, then they would be safe, but as more and more Japanese invaders came ashore, there were five or six hundred people according to rough estimates, and all of them were not afraid of death, even in the face of well-trained naval soldiers, they would not fall behind at all.

Even as time passed, the soldiers of the navy slowly couldn't support it, after all, the enemy was several times larger than them, and the attack was extremely fierce, which made their physical exertion extremely great, and many soldiers had already suffered casualties, and even the horns of the formation were a little loose, forcing them to retreat slowly.

"Li Banyu, the situation is critical, you quickly retreat to the mountain, and your subordinates go forward to meet the enemy!" At this moment, Jiang Xuan, who had been guarding Li Jie's side, also stepped forward with a calm face, and after speaking, he rushed forward with several brocade guards under him.

Although Jinyiwei belongs to the martial arts, their duty is more to collect intelligence than to go into battle to kill the enemy, but in this situation, Jiang Zhen has no other choice, because he knows that if Li Jie has an accident, they will definitely not be able to escape death, so it is better to fight.

Looking at the backs of Jiang Zhen and a few people, Li Jie's heart was also hot, and he immediately silently took a firewood knife from Lao Lizheng's hand, and behind them, there were the only remaining men in the village, about dozens of people, if it really didn't work, they would also join the battlefield to buy time for the retreating women and wounded.

However, just when Li Jie was determined to die and wanted to live and die with the villagers, he suddenly saw Master Mu Jian coming out with a few disciples, and he didn't say hello to Li Jie and them, and walked directly to the battlefield in front.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Seeing this, Li Jie hurriedly stepped forward to stop them and said, these monks are not young, especially Master Mu Jiao, who looks like he is sixty or seventy years old, if they go to the battlefield, it will be a dead end.

"Kill!" I saw Master Mu Jiao's expression indifferently and said, listening to his tone, it seemed that he was saying a very ordinary thing.

"Master, don't be joking, with us young people here, where you need to do something, you better retreat to the mountain quickly!" Li Jie persuaded with good words.

However, what Li Jie didn't expect was that Master Mu Jiao smiled slightly when he heard this, and then reached out to untie his wide monk's robe, revealing the short clothes inside, and then Li Jie found that the kind Master Mu Jiao in front of him was not only tall, but also extremely strong, with a pair of thick arms with knotted muscles, and the bulging green tendons represented the strength of the arm owner.

"Master, you ......" Li Jie was also stunned at this time, he never expected that the other party, a monk, would be so strong, let alone him, even some strong men in the army may not be able to compare with Master Mu Xuan.

"Deputy Envoy Li, stand back, watch us kill the enemy!" Master Mu Xuan did not allow Li Jie to ask any more questions, and after speaking, he took the Zen staff handed by the disciple behind him, and walked towards the battlefield.

Li Jie also stood there stunned, watching Master Mu Jiao lead his disciples to go faster and faster, and finally killed the Japanese in a charging attitude, although they were only nine people together, but when these nine monks were charging, they actually had an indomitable momentum, and it seemed that there were thousands of troops and horses charging.

"Kill!" With the roar of Master Mu Xuan, waving the Zen staff in his hand to kill the Japanese army, the Japanese in front of him smashed his head with a blow, and then the tail of the staff flew and flew out of a Japanese army, and the monks behind him also cooperated with the tacit understanding, guarding the master at any time, and the long stick in his hand was also constantly killing the Japanese Kou.

In the eyes of Li Jie in the rear, when Master Mu Jiao entered the Japanese Invaders, he was almost unstoppable, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and in the blink of an eye, he tore open a hole in the Japanese team, and the team of nine people directly entered the interior of the Japanese Invaders, and went all the way forward, and finally broke out of the encirclement from the other side, causing the formation of the Japanese Kou team to be chaotic.

What's even more unexpected, Master Mu Jiao, who had killed through the encirclement, turned around and killed back again, and the fierce Japanese coward was in front of him, like a chicken who had no power to fight back, and he could kill as much as he wanted.

Hundreds of people were killed by them, and in the end, wherever Master Mu Jiao went, they fled in all directions in fear, and no one dared to resist them anymore.

"This ...... Who is this Master Mu? Li Jie was also shocked and speechless.

In the past, when Li Jie looked at history, he often described the unstoppable courage of ancient generals, such as Chang Yuchun, but unfortunately Li Jie crossed late, and he couldn't see Chang Yuchun, but this Master Mu Jiao in front of him is a living example, and the other party is so old, he can still kill a few times in and out of the Japanese army, so when he was young, how brave was he?
