Chapter 228: Be sure to appreciate the light

Hefu is not a stupid person, but unfortunately he never dreamed that his home city, Osumi Takayama Castle, would be attacked!

All the arrangements of the East 'Gate' celebration seem conservative no matter how you look at it - and the actual situation and the expectation of liver payment are also inseparable.

How many people came to Kitakyushu this time, after a few major battles, it was basically ***, and the liver paid and continued to calculate: the conflict between the east 'gate' Kei and himself should be ranked after the Shimazu family, and he sent three troops and horses to patrol the coastal waters in the east, west, and north directions, and since the remaining men may not be able to capture the nearby Ijiin Ichiji Castle, it is naturally even more impossible to run to Osumi Takayama Castle farther away to embarrass himself. What's more, Liver Fu has deployed heavy troops on the border and in the area of Luwu, and it is difficult for Dongmenqing to come over even if he wants to. And there must be a precursor to the movement of the army! Liver Fu continued to take the East 'Gate' Qing as his opponent, and he felt that there would be no accident in Osumi Takayama Castle!

It's a pity that he still missed a trick - there was a subordinate who was not very obedient and anxious to invite merit, and he was so bold that he went around in a circle with some recklessness, broke into Zhibuzhi Bay, landed in an inconspicuous place, and then took more than 300 people, with the captives of Cape Sata as guides, and 'touched' to the vicinity of Osumi Takayama Castle overnight!

Zhou Dafu didn't land on the shore, he regretted and was afraid when he arrived at the beach, but since he had already arrived here, it was too late to retreat! I had to let Xu Hai toss!

When Xu Hai took Zhao Chengwu and Andrew to 'touch' the vicinity of Osumi Gaoshan City, the sky was not yet bright, and he had already thought of a plan before he went ashore - he had already prepared seven or eight sets of tattered and bloodstained clothes of the Liver Fu family, and Xu Hai took four of his right-hand men, holding two captives of Zuoduo Cape, pretending to be the deserters of the Liver Fu family to deceive the 'gate' of the city! Zhao Chengwu and Andrew led the others to wait outside the city.

When the seven of them ran close to the city gate, they cried and called on the city gate guards to open the gate and let them in!

The guard looked down and asked, "What's wrong?" Who are you? ”

"We are the soldiers guarding Cape Zota!" One of the captives cried out according to the lines that had been reconciled: "Cape Zota is lost!" Open the door! ”

The guards on the 'gate' of the city were slightly taken aback, but they were very cautious, and instead of opening the 'gate', they sent someone to tell the governor, not wanting to be sleeping, because the liver paid and continued to know that the east 'gate' Qing was only going to clean the strongholds along the coast, and did not dare to go deep inland, so the elders of the Liver Fu family heard that Cape Zuoduo was lost, and they were not too surprised, and they all thought: "Alas, why didn't you withdraw the people of Cape Zuoduo!" "I didn't take this matter as a hundred thousand urgent military information to wake up the liver and pay for it, but just asked the deserters outside to approach the city, and we had to ask first to understand.

Xu Hai and the others were waiting outside anxiously, and they heard someone inside the city 'gate' say: "Open the 'gate' and let them in." Everyone was overjoyed, but then the man said, "Wait! It's better to be cautious! He laid down the two baskets and hoisted them up. Xu Hai looked at his subordinates and secretly stumbled.

A subordinate quietly asked what to do, Xu Hai gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Go in and talk about it!" ”

Xu Hai was afraid that if the captives went first, they would change their hexagrams, so he went first, hung the baskets up, and put them down on the inside of the city gate, and the man who spoke just now saw him and asked, "Are you the guard of Cape Zodo?" ”

Although Xu Hai knew a lot of Japanese dialect, his accent did not have a southern Kyushu tone, so he did not dare to answer, and at this time, a second basket was hung on the city 'gate', and he was still his own person, and the two captives and the last cronie were outside. It was supposed to be the person who was the retainer of the liver Fu and asked again: "Why don't you speak?" Dumb? ”

Xu Hai saw that he was already suspicious, but in addition to him, the dozen or so guards around him, all of them were sleepy-eyed, and when they saw that there were already three subordinates on the left and right, they made a secret signal, and rushed forward, 'touching' out a hidden weapon and stabbing at the retainer's 'chest' to hold him hostage, and the retainer was also quick to respond! Seeing Xu Hai pounce and turn around and leave, Xu Hai couldn't catch him, and shouted: "Grab the city gate!" ”

At the same time, the guards guarding the gates of the city also shouted: "There are assassins! "There are ninjas!" "Enemy attack!"

When the henchmen outside the city 'gate' heard this, they immediately beckoned Zhao Chengwu and Andrew, who were waiting nearby, and more than 300 people appeared together and pounced!

By the time they approached the gate, the inside of the gate! More than a dozen frightened liver Fu defenders surrounded Xu Hai and the other four people to 'insert' guns and stabbed them, although the number of people had the upper hand, but because they were not prepared, they did not suppress the other party! Xu Hai asked three of his subordinates to block the guards, rushed to the edge of the city gate, and took advantage of the chaos to kill and injure the guards guarding the winch, and he was also stabbed, at this time, he didn't care about the injury, he pulled the winch and turned wildly, and the city gate was only 'exposed' A small gap was revealed, and a spear stabbed over! Xu Hai only dodged the counterattack and could not turn the winch again.

The gap is extremely small, Zhao Chengwu heard that the inner side of the city 'gate' was in danger, and hurriedly ordered everyone to slam into it, fortunately, these so-called cities in Japan are basically manors, and their city 'gates' are more simple than the 'gates' of Jiangnan Manor, so under the violent impact of dozens of people, the gap in the 'gate' of the city is a little bigger, and Zhao Chengwu hurriedly urged a few thin people to squeeze in!

Although the guards in the city ran towards the city 'gate' one after another, the Qinghua Xiang army outside the city also squeezed in one by one, you come a few, I come a few, and gradually the inside of the narrow city 'gate' is full of people! When three or four people are against a dozen, it is obviously weak, but when more than 20 people are squeezed into a cramped space with more than 30 people, it is difficult to distinguish between strength and weakness for a while! When you meet in a narrow place, the fierce one will have the upper hand! Xu Hai was covered in blood, and he rushed with his subordinates to raise his knife and rush forward, and his momentum overwhelmed the other party, and he occupied a few steps inside the city gate! Some of his men have already grabbed the winch, and the city 'gate' is wide open! Outside the city, Andrew waited for a cheer, and hundreds of people poured in together!

Although the city 'gate' was captured, Xu Hai felt cold in his heart! It turns out that the entire Osumi Takayama Castle is already lit up at this time! Garrisons from elsewhere in the city are coming! Xu Hai brought only 300 people this time, and the only thing he could rely on was the surprise! If the other party has already taken precautions, he has no chance of winning if the two sides face each other head-on!

Xu Hai is not stunned, behind his bravery is actually calculated with his heart. In Zhou Dafu's opinion, this vulgar monk who doesn't know what to be afraid of, but at this time, he is a little weak-hearted!

But! There is a saying: "The ignorant are fearless!" "At this time, on the contrary, it was Xu Hai's brainless subordinates who were completely unafraid, seeing that they had obtained the city 'gate', as if they had already won the victory, completely ignoring the possibility of thousands of defenders pouring out of the city, so they rushed over with a shout! It seems that they only need to go one step further to capture the entire Osumi Takayama Castle!

Xu Hai heard their cries and secretly cursed stupid! In fact, he was thinking about how to retreat with his whole body, but before he could think about it, his back had been topped by something, but it was the stunned youths who rushed up who were rushing forward, pushing Xu Hai so much that he couldn't help but move forward!

"No way! I had to 'mess' kill first, and then escape! Xu Hai thought!

And his subordinates moved one step faster than his command, and before he could give the order, they were already rushing to kill! In this team composed of Chinese broken households, Ryukyu fishermen, East China Sea pirates, and Japanese samurai, there are at least fifty of the more than 300 people who have no brains! The remaining two hundred or so were infected by the seemingly victorious atmosphere and fearlessly rushed into the city, at the enemy! Rush where there is a light! Rush into the unknowable darkness! They thought they could win! And the reality is: they can win!

What an irony!

Xu Hai was not afraid before seizing the city gate, but he didn't know he was afraid until the city gate was captured. He thought that he would not be able to win a frontal battle, but who knew that he would win a frontal battle in this night! Because at this moment, the defenders in Osumi Takayama Castle are still seven or eight short of two hundred! Even the number is less than that of the attacker! And in the case of being attacked at night, they were generally panicked, and as soon as they were rushed by Zhao Chengwu, Andrew, etc., half of them were crushed to their fighting spirit!

Xu Hai wanted to rush and kill in the city and escape, but after killing for a while, he saw the strange situation in the city, and thought: "Is there really such a big bargain in the world?" The spirit of adventure came out again, and the heart said: "Death is death!" "Gritted his teeth and commanded his subordinates to encircle and suppress the stragglers who had lost their organization! He asked Zhao Chengwu to lead people to guard near the 'gate' of the city, and asked Andrew to take fifty people to find the 'gate', and he himself took the remaining more than 200 people through the house to enter the hospital, and directly 'forced' Honmaru!

Seeing that they were so fierce, the little surname who guarded the 'door' household of Honmaru fled with a bang, Xu Hai rushed in, and then listened to the whisper, I don't know how many 'women' ran around, the 'door' household was knocked aside, the curtain was torn to the ground, the screen collapsed, the scroll flew, and it was a mess!

Xu Haizheng was worried that he couldn't find the leader, so he heard a few 'female' people shouting: "Lord Continuation!" Adult! Don't leave us behind! Xu Hai was overjoyed, and rushed over with people, only to see a disheveled man pushing away the 'female' who was pulling his hands and feet to leave, and shouted: "Liver payment and continuation!" ”

As soon as the man heard this, he ran faster, but he tripped under his feet, and his whole body fell. Xu Hai called a new returnee who had seen the liver payment and continuation, and asked him to recognize the person, and the new resolver took the candlelight and took a closer look, and exclaimed, "What a continuation!" ”

Liver Fu Jian Xu's face was full of shame, but he still cried out: "Who are you!" Who are you! How dare you offend my Osumi Takayama Castle! ”

"What bullshit Alpine City!" Xu Hai sneered: "It's smaller than our Hupao Temple, and it's almost the same as a village!" ”

"Tiger Run Temple?" Liver Fu continued to shout: "You are monks? Which one are you from? ”

"Haha!" Xu Hai smiled: "What sect? We are Qinghua Xiangzong! ”

"Qinghuaxiang ......" Liver Fu continued to exclaim: "East 'Gate' celebration!" ”

"That's right! It's our boss! Xu Hai laughed a little carried away. With a glance of his eyes, he saw the 'waiter' Ji 'Lu' next to him who was both hepatic and continuing, showing a big 'leg', and said: "Lord Hefu, although your city is a little simpler, there are still a lot of treasures!" It's a pity that I was ordered to come to have a treat, and I don't dare to stay for a long time, so I might as well ask you to pack up and go with me. ”

He asked continuously, "What kind of guest do you invite?" Where do you want me to go? ”

"Please, it's you, of course!" Xu Hai said with a smile: "Our general owner specially sent me to invite Lord Hefu to Sakurashima for a while, and I hope that Lord Hefu must appreciate it!" Don't make it difficult for us to run 'errands'. ”
