Chapter Seventy-Five: Head to Head (3)

Seeing that the besieged Daming brocade guards were about to rush out of the encirclement, Sugitani Ichiro immediately leaned out of the window, raised a windproof horse lantern in his hand and drew a circle in the air.

In an instant, from the nearby streets, fifty or sixty Japanese ninjas wearing night clothes and holding ninja swords rushed out, and they rushed to the location of Luo Shiyin and the others, and quickly surrounded them.

Luo Shiyin and the others, who had just torn a bloody road, were once again surrounded by water.

Although all of these brocade guards, except for Xie Yuan, are masters who can fight habitually, there is a huge gap in numbers between the two sides. The ninja in front of him kept being slashed to the ground, and the ninja behind immediately pounced.

In the fierce battle, Shi Tianji dragged a wounded arm, held a mace with one hand, and kept grinding up, sweeping, intercepting, splitting, sideways, and strangling.

Of course, this group of Japanese ninjas is not an idle generation, they rely on their numerical superiority, constantly changing their attack routines.

Among the two largest ninja groups in the country at that time, Koga Ninja and Iga Ninja, Iga Ninja paid great attention to the training of members' individual combat ability in their daily training; Koga ninjas, on the other hand, pay more attention to the cultivation of the ability of members to cooperate with each other in battle.

Luo Shiyin found that this group of Japanese ninjas were not swarming and stalking, but looking at each other before and after, left and right, and their siege formation was like a big web woven by spiders, no matter which direction you rushed to kill, this big web always covered you tightly like a shadow.

During the battle, the small flag commanders Lou Dahe and Wu Huan brought by Fang Handle were both injured by swords of varying degrees.

"You can't fight for a long time here!" Luo Shiyin is aware of the seriousness of the situation. If it drags on like this, it will definitely alarm the Japanese army in the city, and once they are dispatched, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Hearing Luo Shiyin's voice, Fang Shank immediately took out a multicolored fireworks stick from his backpack, lit it, and held it high. With a small "squeak", a multicolored firework exploded in the night sky.

In an instant, dozens of brocade guards dressed in thorn uniforms came out of the alleys on all sides, and the embroidered spring knives made of stainless steel in their hands glowed with bloodthirsty cold light in the night.

The addition of new combat members immediately enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Daming Jinyi Guard.

The ninjas besieged around Luo Shiyin and the others only cared about besieging the opponents inside, but they didn't expect the Jinyi Guard, who was killed in an instant, to launch a fierce attack from behind them.

The ninjas at the scene were caught off guard, and a large piece was knocked down by the brocade guards who surrounded them.

Between the swords and swords, countless ninja heads have been cut to the ground.

The orderly formation of the Japanese ninjas, who had just attacked and defended, was immediately thrown into disarray.

Jinyiwei took advantage of the situation to attack inside and outside, joined forces, tore a gap, and rushed into the alley on the north side of the Tongfu Inn.

The ninjas in the back regrouped and chased after them with knives.

"Wu Huan, Lou Dahe, Shang Ji, you lead the way in front, and lead the command to make them rush to the No. 6 liaison station in Wuchengfang. Signal me when it's safe to arrive. The others stayed behind and broke off with me. Seeing that he had escaped the siege of the Japanese ninjas, Fang Handle immediately issued an order to his men.

Sugitani Ichiro, who had been hiding in the high-rise building to watch the battle, saw Luo Shiyin and the others get rid of the siege and rushed into the small alley in the north, and immediately raised the horse lantern in his hand and shook it three times towards the north.

Fang Shant looked back and saw dozens of ninjas howling and pouring into the alley, and immediately made a gesture to Yan Bahe.

The swallow crane knows. The two jumped onto the ridges on both sides of the alley, and then, from their respective backpacks, took out two gourd-shaped earth-shattering thunderbolts, lit the fuse, and threw them into the ninja queue that was chasing not far away.

"Boom-boom-" Two earth-shattering thunderbolts exploded one after another in the Japanese crowd, and more than a dozen Japanese ninjas were immediately blown up with flesh and blood, which was unbearable to see.

This thunderbolt has been used in military operations as early as the Northern Song Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty made further improvements to this highly lethal explosive device. They have watermelon-shaped, gourd-shaped, pear-shaped, etc. in appearance. They are generally thick and small-mouthed, and contain gunpowder. The casing is wrapped in pig iron and the top is fitted with a fuse. When using, the length of the lead wire is determined according to the distance of the target.

When detonated, this type of mine can blow the pig iron shell to pieces. Flying fragments can penetrate iron armor and are extremely lethal.

At that time, there were two kinds of earth-shattering thunder: one was to ignite the fuse with fire, and then launch it with a trebuchet and explode in the distance; The other is to light the fuse with fire, and the soldier throws it and explodes on the ground, with an effect equivalent to that of today's hand grenades.

In addition to gunpowder, the inside of the square handle and the earth-shaking thunder used by the swallow crane is also loaded with a number of hook-shaped iron plates called "fire rats" to enhance the lethality, which is the same principle as the steel balls in modern grenades.

Seeing that the situation was not good, a ninja leader immediately ordered his subordinates to spread out in formation to avoid the enemy's thunder explosion causing heavy damage.

Several ninjas spotted the square handle and the swallow crane standing on the ridge of the roof, and they immediately lifted their bodies, jumped on the roof, and stabbed at the square handle and the swallow crane with the ninja knife in their hands. The two had to give up their attempt to throw the second earth-shattering thunder and pull out the embroidered spring knife on their bodies to face the battle.

Seeing that the two accomplices on the roof were attacked by multiple ninjas, the Jinyi guard in the alley immediately sent a few people to jump on the roof to help in the battle. There was a slashing sound from the rooftop. From time to time, ninjas and brocade guards who were stabbed fell from the roof to the ground in the alley.

In the alley, the same sound of weapons colliding is endless, and the sound of screams comes and goes.

Under the leadership of Lou Dahe, Wu Huan, and Shang Ji, Luo Shiyin and his entourage ran along the winding alley in the direction of Wuchengfang.

In less than half an hour, the group came to the vicinity of Sungkyunkwan.

This Sungkyunkwan is the site of the Korean Temple of Literature.

Outside of China, Korea is the region where Confucianism was introduced the earliest, spread the widest and influenced by Confucianism. Like China, the Temple of Literature is the most important material carrier and spiritual symbol for the spread of Confucianism in Korea. The temple enshrines the statues of Confucius and his disciples of 69 people.

Seeing that they had gotten rid of the pursuers behind, everyone stopped and helped the wounded person bandage his wounds.

Among the injured personnel, Shi Tianji was the most seriously injured, and the powerful lethality of the Japanese bird gun shot his arm outward, and the blood kept dripping down his arm to the ground.

Xie Yuan tore off a strip of cloth from the hem of his clothes, handed it to Ye Ruliu, and bandaged Shi Tianji's wound.

"Thank you, big girl. I didn't expect you to bandage your wounds. Shi Tianji saw Ye Ruliu bandaging his wounds and thanked him.

"Brother Shi, don't move." Ye Ruliu was concentrating on bandaging Shi Tianji, but as a result, Shi Tianji moved her arm, causing her to not wrap it properly.

"Oh, big girl, a little injury, you just wrap it up. You don't need to be so careful. ”

"No, I can't. This should not be wrapped well, it will be infected. Don't move. Just for a moment. All right. How does it feel to try your arm? ”

"Hey, it's okay, it doesn't hurt at all."

"Come on, Brother Shi. It's so badly hurt, how can it not hurt? Don't compliment me. Be careful yourself. After Ye Ruliu finished speaking, he bandaged the wounds of several other injured people.

"How's it going, are you still holding up?" Luo Shiyin walked to Shi Tianji's side, patted Shi Tianji gently, and asked with concern.

Luo Shiyin knew that Shi Tianji was injured because he was defending himself.

"Don't worry. It's still far from seeing Lord Yama. Shi Tianji said calmly.

"Lao Shi, thank you......" Luo Shiyin looked at Shi Tianji's arm that was still dripping blood, and his eyes were a little blurred.

"My lord, everything I have now is given by you. As long as you are safe and sound, I will go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and I will not give up. ”

"Good...... Okay, Lao Shi, I'll make a note of what you said. ”

"Your Excellency. Rest assured, this skin trauma is nothing. Let's get out of here. ”

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

As soon as Shi Tianji's words fell, he heard a sound of a secret weapon flying from the roof of Sungkyun Pavilion clearly.

Under the moonlight, I saw countless ninja shurikens of different shapes shooting like locusts flying in the sky.

"Everyone, be careful!" Luo Shiyin roared, and with a wave of his palm, he knocked down the darts that were shot at Shi Tianji.

Shi Lang and the others didn't dare to slack off, and immediately waved the weapon in their hands to block the hidden weapon like a locust.

While everyone dialed, they protected Luo Shiyin behind a stone wall that could block the darts.

As soon as everyone gained a firm foothold, they saw that on the roof of Sungkyunkwon, more than a dozen black-clothed ninjas flew to the ground, and quickly slashed towards this side.

At the same time, from the corners in all directions, nearly a hundred Japanese ninjas poured out like ghosts.

Luo Shiyin and the others were immediately surrounded by water.

"I'll see where you can run this time. Kill me! "The leader is none other than Koga Ninja Yoshino.

Yoshino looked at the tired army of less than ten people in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart: I can't imagine that the dignified Daimyo Commander of the Brocade Guard will fall into my hands today. For such an important person, whether it is to capture his person or get his body, it is a great achievement. When the time comes, the president will surely be rewarded!

With Yoshino's order, nearly 100 Japanese ninjas came over with swords.

"Kill!" Luo Shiyin and the others shouted almost in unison.

The murderous nature of the Ming Jinyi Guard was completely aroused at this moment.

Luo Shiyin is no stranger to such occasions. Back then, in order to spy on the intelligence of the Mongolian army, he led Shi Lang and more than 30 Jinyi guards to chase and intercept more than 2,000 Mongolian iron horsemen in the vast desert. In the end, only the price of the three Jinyi Guards was killed and wounded, and the team was safely led to break through.

The team of nearly 100 Japanese ninjas in front of him is the elite of the Koga ninjas led by Yoshino, including the Michiko Kato sisters. They rushed to this place to set up an ambush after seeing the signal sent by Ichiro Sugitani with a horse lantern.

Nearly 100 elite ninjas besieged Luo Shiyin and others in the middle, and the two sides launched a thrilling battle.

This group of ninjas did not blindly surround the opponent and fight, but organically arranged the team into an attack formation similar to the Five Elements Bagua Diagram, the ninja in front was cut down, and the ninja in the back would immediately come up to replace him. The entire attack formation adjusted with the direction of Luo Shiyin and the others' assaults, always trapping the opponent in the middle of the attack formation.
