After a while, with two loud bangs, the stone gate on the castle was opened. A dozen Wakuni Ashigaru armed with spears were the first to walk out of the stone gate and walk down the stone steps. They were followed by the captured old men, women, and children, all of whom were bound by arms and strung together with a long rope.

Behind the captured people were dozens of spear-wielding Japanese ashigaru, who kept hitting the people in front of them with their spears to keep order and speed up their pace.

In the shouting and scolding of the Japanese people, the crying of children was constantly heard.

"It seems that the Japanese are going to take advantage of the night to secretly transport people away." Luo Shiyin said in a low voice.

"My lord, what should I do?" Li Ruzhu asked eagerly.

"Lord Shen, call your men and horses, we will ambush them in the grass at the bottom of the valley and take them by surprise." Hearing the cries of the children coming from the castle, Luo Shiyin felt deeply ashamed in his heart. In an instant, he felt a little remorseful for his previous gains and losses in saving people.

Although the current situation was that the enemy was outnumbered, looking at the crowd that had slowly descended from the top of the Three Buddhas Peak and had already joined the Japanese warriors below, he still did not hesitate to give Shen Zhong an order to prepare for battle.

Shen Zhong replied, got up and ran towards the dense forest behind him.

After Shen Zhong arrived with dozens of his subordinates, Luo Shiyin waved his hand and led everyone to quietly touch the grass at the bottom of the valley.

"Bow ...... Archer ...... Listen to me...... Cause. After everyone had set up an ambush in the grass, Shen Zhong commanded his men in a low voice.

"Tell your men to shoot the sword-wielding samurai first. They are more combative. Luo Shiyin whispered to Shen Zhong.

"Wait a minute...... Shoot with a knife. Listen...... Is it there? Shen Zhong said to the archer.

"I hear you." Someone answered.

After about ten minutes, the detained people had already walked directly in front of the ambush of the detachment. In front of him are dozens of spear-wielding Japanese ashigaru. The dozens of Japanese warriors walked at the end of the crowd.

"Hit ...... Don't fight? Shen Zhong was a little breathless, and asked Luo Shiyin in a low voice. But as soon as his first "type" word came out, his subordinates were too nervous and mistakenly thought that he had given the order to attack. In an instant, dozens of sharp arrows shot out from Shen Zhong's men, knocking down the more than thirty Wa Guozu who were walking in front.

"There is an ambush, prepare for battle!" Seeing that some of their companions had been shot dead, the rest of the Japanese people hurriedly hid behind the captured crowd, clenched their weapons in their hands, and looked around vigilantly.

Luo Shiyin wanted to make the detained crowd walk forward and then give the order to attack, so that the archers could shoot away the Japanese warriors behind them. Na Cheng thought that the situation did not go as he had envisioned. There is no way, the matter has come to this point, so I have to rush up and fight.

"Kill—" Luo Shiyin shouted, rushing out of the grass and killing the enemy in front of him.

"Kill—" The others who were lying in ambush in the grass also shouted and rushed towards the enemy line.

Although they were inferior in numbers, in the face of the Japanese who used the captured people as cover, Luo Shiyin and others dispersed their limited forces, surrounded the enemy in the middle, and chose the opportunity to kill and wound the enemy.

The cunning Japanese people hid behind the captured crowd and did not take the initiative to attack. They use the captured crowd as a shield, looking for opportunities to sneak up on their opponents while dodging.

"My lord, it is extremely detrimental to us to continue such a stalemate. Once the Japanese reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that it will be difficult for all of us to get out. During the fight, Shi Lang said to Luo Shiyin beside him.

"yes, I'm trying to figure it out." Luo Shiyin was difficult to find a good plan to break the enemy for a while, so he had to watch while fighting.

The stalemate lasted about ten minutes, and the tide of battle began to change. In the process of fighting, some of the members of Shen Zhong's rabble began to retreat. Although Shen Zhong shouted insults and killed one of his men who tried to escape, most of his men were still afraid of the fierce enemy.

At the beginning of the battle, the Japanese soldiers were attacked by a surprise attack, and when they could not understand the strength of the other side, they had to shrink their forces in order to protect themselves. But as the battle progressed, they gradually discovered that most of the ambushed teams were actually some ineffective wine bags and rice bags. The Japanese soldiers began to counterattack.

The first to rush out were those Japanese warriors. I saw them let out a loud shout in unison, waving their knives and rushing towards Shen Zhong's men and cutting down several people on the spot. When the rest of the North Korean soldiers saw that something was wrong, they threw away their weapons and fled for their lives.

In the face of the counterattack, the team members had to fight hard. Gradually, they were surrounded by the Japanese in a clearing at the bottom of the valley. By their side, only Shen Zhong and a dozen of his subordinates and Cui Tianyou were left, and around them were enemies several times their size.

"My lord, what should I do?" Shi Lang asked Luo Shiyin.

"Rush out first, don't think about the rest." Luo Shiyin whispered to his subordinates.

At this time, the arrested people were already so frightened that they curled up in the grass and sat in a group, not daring to move. Mothers cling to their children for fear that they will be harmed.

"...... Milky, Pro ...... Escape, see if Lao Tzu is ...... Kill...... Got them! Shen Zhong held the bloodied Pu knife in his hand, and scolded his men who had fled sullenly.

"We will concentrate our forces on attacking the ashigaru troops of the Japanese army and work together to fight our way out of the encirclement!" Luo Shiyin gave an order, and took the lead in killing the Wa State in the southeast. The others also waved their weapons and followed.

Suffering a strong impact, the formation of the Japanese Ashigaru suddenly became a mess. Just when the team was about to fight their way out and successfully break through, the Japanese warriors present immediately rushed over with their swords and surrounded the hole that had just been torn open by the team. No matter how Luo Shiyin, Shen Zhong and others rushed left and right, they could never break out of the enemy's encirclement. In the fighting, Shen Zhong's men continued to die tragically under the swords and guns of the Japanese army. The disparity in strength between the enemy and the enemy is becoming more and more wide.

"I didn't expect Shen Zhong's men to be so vulnerable. In the whole course of the war, he could not help but be a little arrogant, and he did not objectively and calmly analyze and judge the strength of the enemy and us, which eventually led to the current predicament. Luo Shiyin, who was fighting, secretly regretted in his heart, "If this battle fails, the brothers in the squad led by me may die because of their own mistakes." The Holy Trust will also be difficult to fulfill as a result. At this time, Luo Shiyin's brain was running at a high speed, and he was thinking about how to get out of the encirclement as soon as possible.

Just as Luo Shiyin was pondering a good plan, there was a noisy shouting and running footsteps from the entrance to the valley to the south.

Could it be that the reinforcements of the Japanese have arrived?

Luo Shiyin secretly complained.

In the blink of an eye, a group of men armed with shovels, iron forks, wooden sticks, hammers and other agricultural tools were already shouting and killing behind the Japanese people in the south. The people in the front are holding torches, lanterns and other lighting equipment. In the darkness of the night, they stood in several rows in the dark, blocking the entire road in and out of the valley, and judging by the number of them, there were at least two or three hundred of them.

"My lord, our reinforcements have arrived!" When Li Ruzhu saw the crowd that appeared unexpectedly, she immediately saw that they were a team spontaneously organized by villagers in the nearby mountains. He said to Luo Shiyin in surprise.

"Fellow villagers, we are soldiers of the government, and we are here to rescue the villagers who have been arrested. We will work together to destroy the Japanese people who are besieging us. Li Ruzhu shouted loudly to the team of villagers on the periphery.

"Good. Folks, kill the Japanese people. Rescue our loved ones. Kill—" A sturdy man with an iron hammer in his hand among the villagers heard Li Ruzhu's shout, and immediately answered and led the villagers to rush over.

The position of the Japanese people was suddenly in chaos.

"Brethren. Kill it! Luo Shiyin was in high spirits and shouted.

The Japanese people who were attacked from inside and outside were instantly surrounded by a small wetland in the valley. Although they resisted desperately, they were eventually killed one by one due to their numerical inferiority.

A battle of ups and downs ended in victory.

Seeing that the Japanese had been wiped out, the villagers threw away their hands one after another and rushed to the captured people to look for their relatives. There was a cry at the scene, which was the excited cry from the heart after the relatives saw each other.

The team members, together with Shen Zhong and Cui Tianyou, walked among the bound villagers and untied the ropes on their bodies one by one.

"What kind of bullshit army are you, and when you see the Japanese people, they are all scared and run away like rabbits. If it weren't for the help of our family, I'm afraid you would have become a ghost under the sword of the Japanese people. Bah! When Shen Zhong walked over to untie the rope for her, not only did she not express any gratitude, but instead scolded Shen Zhong for a while, and smacked heavily at Shen Zhong's face.

Shen Zhong's face was pale, and he stood in place in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Alright, brother, don't be like a woman. I still admire you as a man. Shi Tianji walked over to comfort Shen Zhong and pulled him aside.

"Okay, child, you see that this military master is struggling to kill the enemy just now, so you can say a few words!" A short man came over and pulled aside the peasant woman who had fallen Shen Zhong, presumably the husband of the peasant woman.

"Folks, let's hurry up and bring your relatives home. Watch out for the cold! Li Ruzhu was worried that the reinforcements of the Japanese people had arrived, so she shouted loudly to the villagers around her.

"Anyway, I still want to thank you for saving me with righteousness!" The sturdy man with an iron hammer led a young woman to Li Ruzhu and Luo Shiyin's side and thanked him.

"You're welcome, that's what we're supposed to do. Hurry home, it's cool in the mountains. Seeing that Luo Shiyin didn't speak, Li Ruzhu hurriedly said.

In the autumn breeze and autumn night, the villagers disappeared one after another to the southern end of the valley.

"His...... Milky, greedy ...... Afraid of death, get out of the ...... Escape. These turtles ...... If the grandson lets the old ...... Sub catches, non-...... Cut ...... one by one They can't! Shen Zhong felt a nameless anger in his stomach because of the clumsy performance of his subordinates, and when he saw that the villagers had gone away, he scolded viciously. Not only does he look like Shi Tianji, but even the way he scolds people is the same as Shi Tianji.

"Okay, brother, you can't be blamed for this, dissipate your anger!" Seeing that no one spoke, Shi Tianji took the initiative to walk in front of Shen Zhong and comforted.

"Or, my lords, come and stay at my Emperor's Peak tonight." Shen Zhong calmed down his anger and walked over to Luo Shiyin to invite him.

"Oh, no, Lord Shen. We still have to hurry. You and your men please go back first. Although Luo Shiyin was not disgusted with Shen Zhong, through tonight's battle, he really didn't want to see the rabble under his command again, and of course it was impossible for him to agree to return to Emperor Peak with Shen Zhong.

"So a lot of adults...... Take care, I'll go back first. Where there is a need...... Just speak. Shen Zhong was also happy, and after simply saying goodbye to everyone present, he led the few remaining dozen soldiers under his command to leave the valley and rush back to the Emperor's Peak.

"Officials, let's go to my house." Cui Tianyou invited everyone.

"Okay, then I can only trouble you for one more night!" Luo Shiyin politely agreed.
