Chapter 640: The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change
The enemies hiding in Yakushima are not all Japanese people, but also the old people of the Qi Kingdom, but the royal family of the Qi State in order to restore the Qi Kingdom, hiding in the small country of Heavenly Poison and the nearby islands. Now join forces with the Japanese people and prepare to ambush Xiao Rui!
At this moment, in the face of the attack of the Japanese with teeth and claws, the five sea ships on Xiao Rui's side quickly approached, and the paddlers began to slide the boats by manpower and retreated backwards.
And in the eyes of the Japanese people, this scene is the meaning of escaping, which stimulates the emotions of the Japanese people even more, and they are red in the eyes one by one, rowing hard to catch up.
Xiao Rui stood on the deck, looking at the Japanese who were chasing after him, and the distance gradually narrowed, his face remained unchanged.
On the other side, the commander in charge of this navigation has ordered the stone thrower, the bed crossbow, and the Zhuge repeater to prepare. The ship of the Wako was faster because of the downwind. The sea ships in Daxia are larger, and their own weight is heavy, so the speed is naturally slower.
Seeing that the two sides were getting closer and closer, they immediately entered the attack range, and the navy of Great Xia was in full formation, coldly holding the crossbow machine and rope, ready to attack. On the other hand, the Japanese Kou howled excitedly, after all, it was such a glorious thing to be able to kill the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom!
It's closer!
"Shoot!" The pilot commander roared angrily, and in an instant, the crossbow was fired, and the strings of arrows that had long been straightened back to a straight line, firing the spear-like crossbow arrows and flying towards the pirate ships. The thief ship is full of robbers, standing on the deck, so as long as you shoot it, you don't need to deliberately aim at all, as long as you shoot on the deck, it is like wearing a sugar gourd, shooting through several people.
Of course, although the crossbow arrow is fierce, how can it compare to gunpowder?
Behind the cluster of crossbow arrows, there was a powder bag, which ignited the fuse when the arrow was shot, and the powder bag also landed on the deck.
Rumble...
The gunpowder pack exploded, and the surrounding pirates screamed, causing heavy casualties. In this way, the first few Japanese ships were killed in a panic before they could get close to the ships.
However, the leader of the Japanese invaders urged the other ships to continue the attack, and as long as they were close to the ships, these long-range offensive equipment would be useless. Even if you rely on people, you have to kill them!
It is true that if you get closer, the long-range attack will be ineffective, but the Great Xia Navy has bows and crossbows that shoot at close range, and if you shoot condescendingly, the Japanese will send another wave of heads.
Although the pirates suffered heavy casualties, their thief ship still slammed into the Great Xia Sea ship, and the sharp firing pin slammed into the hull of the ship, and the two ships were immediately closely connected. The Wako then shot and defended, and then began to board the ship.
Once on board, the Wako were the last step away from victory.
At this moment, the Great Xia Navy was particularly nervous, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy, stop the attack of the Japanese Invaders, and swore to protect His Majesty's safety to the death.
Because there were four sea ships blocking it, Xiao Rui's ship had not yet been attacked by the Japanese invaders, but the Japanese were red-eyed and belonged to the level of undying, so the pilot commander was also extremely nervous, and immediately pleaded: "Your Majesty, please move to the cabin, the last general will lead his soldiers and soldiers, and they will be able to annihilate the Japanese thieves, please rest assured, Your Majesty!" ”
"Haha... I've always been reassured. Xiao Rui's expressionless face suddenly smiled, and he looked at Xiao Ze, the king of Wu, on the side.
"Third brother, isn't it?" Xiao Rui asked.
Xiao Ze turned his head to look at Xiao Rui, he sighed and said, "Yes!" ”
The Pilot Commander wondered, why was His Majesty so confident? In addition, His Majesty asked His Royal Highness King Wu what his intentions were, could it be that King Wu and these would-be robbers...
He hurriedly strangled the thought to death, not daring to think deeply.
At this time, Jia Xu explained the doubts in his heart for the pilot commander: "Commander Lu, look at the northeast!" ”
The pilot commander immediately turned his head to look, his face stunned!
What did he see?
In the north-east, a large number of sea ships came, densely packed, and the number was still above the Japanese Kou, and their speed was very fast, and they came quickly.
Wang Dazhi's righteous son has better eyesight and can see farther, he can clearly see the flag fluttering on the approaching ship, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, the fluttering flag on the ship is embroidered with the word 'Xia', and the military flag with the word 'Qi'!" ”
The pilot commander was overjoyed and said: "It's the Qi family army, Qi Jiguang stationed in Yingzhou!" They're here to help! ”
Immediately afterwards, this person reacted and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is like a god, and you have already guessed that the thieves will come to attack!" ”
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is on patrol, how can there be only five ships to escort you, if there are too many of them, you can't lead the snake out of the hole!" ”
That's right, Xiao Rui had long suspected that the sea in Yingzhou would not be too peaceful on this trip, so he arranged for someone to notify Qi Jiguang as early as possible, and made an appointment with him, and at the same time asked him to secretly investigate the place where the ambush could be laid.
Therefore, the matter of the Japanese Kou hiding in Yakushima seems to be hidden, but in fact, it has long been in Qi Jiguang's hands, but he was worried that they still have a conspiracy, so he did not launch an attack in advance, but prepared to be completely annihilated at sea.
Qi Jiguang came, Xiao Rui didn't have to worry, he said to Xiao Ze: "Third brother, talk in the house!" ”
"Good!" Xiao Ze nodded, and then accompanied Xiao Rui into the room.
The two sat down, Xiao Rui poured tea himself, and said with a smile: "I know, these widows are not the third brother's arrangement!" ”
Xiao Ze asked rhetorically, "Why?" It stands to reason that my motive is the greatest, after all, it was I who made it clear to Your Majesty that I wanted to visit my father in Yingzhou, and it is likely that I deliberately designed it, because I know that Your Majesty is also a person of filial piety, and it is very likely that I will go to Yingzhou to have a look! "Hundred Flowers Literature
Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Indeed, I didn't plan to go to Yingzhou before, and it was indeed when I heard Xiao Jiu mention that the third brother was going to Yingzhou, so I had the idea, as a son of man, I should have gone to see my father's body and living conditions." But the third brother is not stupid, if you really want to design to harm me, you don't have to bring your wife, concubines, and children on board, and the boat is full of my people, and you can't protect yourself. ”
"It's also possible that I'm fighting to the death, and if I don't succeed, I'll become a benevolent!" Xiao Ze asked.
Xiao Rui snorted: "You are a life-sparing person, if you really want to compete for the throne, you must find a perfect solution, otherwise you would rather be a free prince!" Among the brothers, I have always thought that the third brother is the smartest person, able to judge the situation and live freely. ”
"Xiao Jiu is not bad." Xiao Ze replied.
Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "Xiao Jiu is a child's heart, he is really not interested in the throne, he is not smart." ”
Xiao Ze took a sip of tea and sighed: "Actually, how much I hope that these thieves will not come, you have already ascended the throne, why should you still remember the supreme position?" Your Majesty, you say I'm smart, I don't deny it, but smart can govern Great Xia well? Definitely. It is appropriate for you to be the emperor, everything is in full swing, and as brothers of His Majesty, it is also an honor to be able to witness the future glory of Great Xia, so why bother? ”
"yes, why bother... The third brother has long been aware of King Jing's problem? Xiao Rui asked.
Xiao Ze nodded and said, "When he didn't intend to mention me at first, I didn't doubt it. And the reason why I became suspicious was later. Once he and Xiao Jiu came to visit the house together, at the banquet, he specifically mentioned to Xiao Jiu that I was going to Yingzhou, at that time I was suspicious, I felt that he was too attentive, it seems that the purpose of coming with Xiao Jiu is to let Xiao Jiu know that I am going to Yingzhou. Then, sure enough, Xiao Jiu told you the news..."
After listening to Xiao Ze's eloquent words, Xiao Rui sighed and said, "The power is charming, especially the high throne. ”
At this time, Xiao Ze was curious: "How did Your Majesty find out about King Jing's problem?" ”
Xiao Rui replied: "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. Since I ascended the throne, King Jing seems to have changed, but his nature is so easy to change? What's more, he has been involved in the matter of going to Yingzhou, which seems to be not critical, but it has an important role, so I naturally have suspicions. ”
Is character so easy to change? If it were easy to change, there would be no proverbial saying that the prodigal son would not change his money.
At this time, outside, as Qi Jiguang led the navy to kill, the Japanese who were attacking the ship were so frightened that the six gods had no master!
How could Qi Jiguang come here! Isn't he far away in Edo?
"Attack, attack! Attack! ”
The leader of the Japanese invaders shouted, and he was also frightened by Qi Jiguang's arrival, Qi Jiguang's name resounded throughout the Japanese country, especially the Qi family army, which was simply the natural enemy and nightmare of the Japanese warriors, and their mandarin duck array and Qi family knife completely restrained the katana, becoming the most terrifying nightmare of the samurai.
And with the arrival of reinforcements, the Great Xia Navy swept away the tension, and began to harvest the spoils.
Some of the Japanese have already begun to flee by boat, this is the sea, once they fall into the encirclement, it will be the consequence of death, if they don't flee now, when will they wait?
With the beginning, more of the pirates fled in all directions.
Qi Jiguang stood on the vanguard ship at the front, and his face was solemn at this time.
If it weren't for His Majesty sending him a letter, he wouldn't have known that there was such a large group of thieves hidden in Yingzhou, which was his dereliction of duty, and he was scared into a cold sweat. If you hurt Your Majesty, you will be a sinner, and you will be even more sorry for Your Majesty's kindness.
So now he has riveted all his strength, and ordered the ships to speed up, and never let the thieves escape, he wants to annihilate all these robbers, and leave no one behind!
As the flag bearer next to him waved the flag, the outstretched boat began to extend to the left and right, like two huge eagles, spreading their wings to eat all the little insects of the thieves!
Want to escape?
Have you asked him Qi Jiguang?
Pulling out the Qi family knife, Qi Jiguang roared: "Sons, kill!" ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The sound of killing shook the sky, and the anger soared into the sky, and the Japanese had no will to fight, and just wanted to escape. It's a pity that they have fallen into the encirclement and can't escape.
When Xiao Rui and Xiao Ze walked out of the room, the war was basically over, and after a glance at the scene in the sea, it was miserable, all the thieves were annihilated, this is the consequence of assassinating His Majesty!
Qi Jiguang had already boarded the boat, saw Xiao Rui, and hurriedly bowed: "The lowly Qi Jiguang is late to save the driver, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
Xiao Rui helped him up and said with a smile: "It should be General Qi's timely rescue, what's wrong." ”
Being so courteous to His Majesty, Qi Jiguang's eyes were slightly red and full of excitement.
This was the highlight moment of the monarch and minister, who knows...
Xiao Yan, who was resting in the room because of seasickness, rushed out and shouted, "Where is the widow!" This king wants to slash the thief! ”
Xiao Rui: ...
