Chapter 159: Capture the Treasure Imjin River (4)
Although more than half of the North Korean soldiers had been killed, seven or eight ninjas at the scene had also been killed or wounded. The contrast in numbers between the two sides remains one-sided.
In the face of an opponent with superior numbers, the tenacious fighting spirit and super combat effectiveness made the remaining Japanese ninjas on the scene fearless.
"Cast smoke grenades, and then destroy them individually." With Yoshino's order, several smoke grenades were thrown from the ninja ranks.
Smoke grenades flew towards the North Korean soldiers around them in an instant. With a few explosions, the battle queues of the two sides were suddenly shrouded in a thick smoke.
"Kill!"
Yoshino gave an order, and more than a dozen Japanese ninjas immediately divided into four teams and killed the Korean soldiers on the periphery.
The North Korean soldiers, shrouded in dense fog, lost their care for each other, and their hearts suddenly became fearful, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Wakoku ninjas are specially trained. Not to mention this little bit of smoke, even in the dark night where they can't see their fingers, their combat effectiveness will still not be affected.
The North Korean soldiers, who were in the smoke, waved their long knives aimlessly, and their frightened attitude caused their legs and feet to go limp, and their movements were slow. The Japanese ninjas were haunted in the smoke one by one like ghosts, and these chaotic North Korean soldiers didn't have time to react, so they were slashed and killed one by one by the Japanese ninjas who suddenly appeared around them.
After a scuffle, the screaming finally stopped.
The fog cleared.
Yoshino looked around. The ground was littered with the bodies of the dead, and the blood had stained the entire dock red.
"Pack your bags and get out of here!" Yoshino commanded in a low voice.
Yoshino knew very well that the nearly 100 corpses lying on the ground were not all North Korean soldiers, and there were more than a dozen of his own subordinates.
At this time, Yoshino had a clear sense of post-war exhaustion on his face, and at the same time, his heart was still shrouded in an inexplicable fear and uneasiness, and the keen intuition of a ninja told him that on this small dock, there seemed to be danger.
"Action!"
Seeing that the time had come, Luo Shiyin gave an order and led his men to rush out of the house.
The Japanese ninjas, who were less than ten people, just wanted to lead the ox cart to the shore, but they found that more than 20 people in various costumes rushed up from behind them.
"Not good! Daming brocade guard! ”
Yoshino immediately judged the identity of the other party from the embroidered spring knife and the swift and agile figure that some of the members of the opponent were holding diagonally.
According to the prior explanation, more than 20 brocade guards rushed forward, and no one spoke, and directly killed the other party.
Facing the Daming Jinyi Guard, who was twice as numerous as him and had extremely strong combat effectiveness, Yoshino suddenly lost his confidence, so he had to throw down the ox cart containing the treasure and lead the remaining seven or eight Japanese ninjas to fight and retreat to the riverside.
"My baby!" Konishi Yukicho was wrapped up in the retreating Japanese ninjas, and when he saw that the huge treasure he had scheming to loot was about to fall into the hands of others, he was unwilling, "As long as you keep the treasure, I am willing to share it with you!" Yukicho Konishi looked desperately at Yoshino beside him and said in an almost pleading tone.
"Bag! Don't you see who the other person is? It's still about saving your life. Although President Konishi is higher in status than Yoshino, after all, there is no direct subordinate relationship, and in a hurry, Yoshino can't help but burst out foul language to President Konishi, who loves money and doesn't want to die.
"What should I do?" Michiko Kato asked Yoshino while resisting the embroidered spring knife that kept chopping left and right with her sister.
"Take this old fellow, withdraw!" Seeing that the general trend was gone, Yoshino reluctantly gave an order.
"You can't leave my treasure alone!" Hearing Yoshino's order to retreat, Konishi Yukinaga let out a dry roar in a hoarse voice.
Sister Michiko Kato couldn't help but say, set up Yukinaga Konishi, and jumped into the rolling Imzu River with Yoshino and other Japanese ninjas.
"My lord, are you chasing them?" Seeing the Japanese ninja diving into the water, Fang Shank asked Luo Shiyin.
"Forget it. Lift the four boxes on the bullock cart onto the boat and hurry away! Luo Shiyin seemed to be answering the question of the square handle, and it was like giving orders to all the subordinates on the scene.
Hearing Luo Shiyin's order, Shi Lang walked quickly towards the dock on the shore. The square handle is a close second.
The boss of the boat parked on the dock was still curiously watching the fight on the shore just now, and at this moment, when he saw two of the people involved in the fight walking towards the dock with knives, he suddenly became timid and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Shi Lang hurriedly shouted: "Boatman, don't go, we want to take a boat." ”
"Guest officer, we don't ...... No more passengers. Hearing Shi Lang's shout, the boat boss became even more panicked, and he tapped a wooden stake on the dock with his oars, and the wooden boat left the dock and prepared to sail towards the center of the river.
Without saying a word, Fang Shank ran a few steps, jumped up, and jumped onto the wooden boat.
"Dock the ship!" Fang Shank said to the ship boss in an unquestioning tone.
"Hey...... Okay, good ......" The boat boss was shocked by Fang Shan's cold and domineering gaze, and hurriedly replied and docked the boat back to the shore.
"Tie the boat up and go ashore!" Fang Shank still looked at the boatman with a pair of compelling eyes and said.
The boss of the boat had to obediently tie the boat and step ashore tremblingly. The square handle jumped to the shore immediately after that. fresh
Luo Shiyin came to the boat boss, patted him on the shoulder with his hand, and asked kindly: "Boat man, we want to buy your ferry, can you make a price?" ”
"Guest, that's not going to work! This boat is the rice bowl of our family. If we buy it for you, our whole family will starve to death. No, no, no! As soon as the captain heard that he was going to buy his boat, he immediately disagreed.
Fang Shank put his hand into his coat, took out a bag of broken silver, raised his hand and threw it to the boat boss, and said to the boat boss in a condescending tone, "Take it." That's enough for you to buy two or three boats. ”
It seems that Fang Handle has carefully prepared every detail of this operation.
The boat boss grabbed the silver bag, first shook it vigorously, and then, untied the silver bag, and watched, "Enough, enough!" Thank you, officer...... Thank you, thank you......" Seeing the white silver in the bag, the boat boss was excited and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Then the boat will be ours, and you can go." Fang Handle said coldly to the ship boss.
"Good...... Good...... I'm leaving! Unexpectedly, he picked up a big bargain, and the boat boss was afraid that the other party would regret it, so he hurriedly ran north.
"Shi Lang, you take a few people to buy some food." Luo Shiyin said to Shi Lang.
"Yes, sir." Shi Lang promised, took Ye Ruliu, Xie Yuan, and three other brocade guards to the wine shop not far away to sell food.
Working together, the group lifted four large chests full of treasure onto the ship and placed them safely in the cabin.
"Let's go, board the ship." Seeing that the treasure had been transported onto the wooden boat, Shi Lang and the others also bought back the food used on the road, Luo Shiyin gave an order, and all the members of the Jinyi Guard present boarded the wooden boat.
"Who are these people?"
"Is it because of the robbery that the fight started?"
"You can figure it out, you don't see it, it's a three-way fight. It's certainly not as simple as snatching a kiss. ”
"It seems that many officers and soldiers have died!"
“……”
After Luo Shiyin and the wooden boat they were riding on had left a long distance, the people on the shore who were hiding in the corners and corners to watch the battle came out cautiously. For the tragic battle just now, they were apprehensive at the same time, but they were also a little interested, after all, they had never seen such a big scene. They were in groups of three or five, and they were talking a lot.
Two of the brocade guards led by Fang Shan could support the boat, two on the left and one on the right, and the wooden boat entered the channel very openly.
On a winter day, a faint white mist wafts over the Imjin River. From time to time, a few unknown waterfowl skimmed from the water in front of the boat and flew towards the abrupt peaks on both sides.
The sun in the sky seemed to be a navigator, hanging diagonally in the sky in front of the ship, beckoning the ship to move in the direction it was directing.
Seeing that the wooden boat had sailed smoothly out of the Imjin River wharf and came to a relatively open river, Luo Shiyin led the team members and the square handle to go down to the cabin.
"Lao Shi, open the box." Coming to the cabin, Luo Shiyin ordered Shi Tianji.
All four boxes were unlocked. Shi Tianji walked over and opened the boxes one by one.
"My mother! I've never seen so many good babies! As the boxes were opened one after another, Shi Tianji looked at the yellow, white, green and purple gold and silver jewelry inside, and couldn't help but praise it.
"Yes, this Konishi governor is worthy of being a businessman, and in addition to fighting, he didn't forget to collect money." Shi Lang also sighed.
"With this treasure, I can use it to prepare weapons, ammunition, food and grass, and I won't be able to win this battle! Hahaha! Luo Shiyin said these words, on the surface, he was emotional, but in fact, he deliberately said it to others other than Shi Lang present. After all, this operation is to take food from the mouths of friendly countries, and he must make his subordinates understand the purpose of the treasure hunt, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and cause problems for himself in the future.
"My lord personally led us to take risks to intercept the treasure from the hands of the Japanese people, and used it for my Ming war, which is really well-intentioned. If this treasure falls into the hands of the Japanese people, it will be a huge loss for both the Korean friends and our Ming Dynasty.
"Well, my lord made a timely decision and led us to snatch this treasure and use it in this anti-Japanese war, which is beneficial and harmless to our Korean friends and my Ming Dynasty. We are honored to participate in this operation, and we must be grateful for the trust of the commander. Shi Lang was the first among all the people present to know the purpose of this operation, and he also knew Luo Shiyin's inner worries, so as soon as Luo Shiyin's voice fell, Shi Lang immediately understood the meaning of the commander's words.
"Hehehe, Shi Lang is right. Rather than watching the treasure fall into the hands of the Japanese people, it is better to take it. You know, what I need most at the moment is money. Only with sufficient money and food can our Ming Dynasty be invincible, can we save our friends from fire and water, can we deter those who vainly try to offend our China, and can we raise the prestige of the Holy King in the four seas.
"I hope that everyone will have faith in the positive significance of this action. Also, this is a secret operation, and I hope that everyone will keep their mouths shut now and in the future to avoid unnecessary trouble. Luo Shiyin continued Shi Lang's words and said further.
"My lord is doing his best to seek the interests of my Ming and friends, and we will have no distractions and complete this task wholeheartedly to solve the worries of adults.
"Please rest assured, the square handle will never forget the grace of the adult. For this action, the subordinates will definitely be in the same boat with the adults, sharing weal and woe! How could the shrewd square handle not understand the sound of Luo Shiyin's words, and hurriedly expressed his attitude.
"Yes, we are loyal to the saints, serve the lord, and understand the good intentions of the lord for the country and the people. Please rest assured. Xie Yuan was worried that Shi Tianji and Bau would say the wrong thing, so he simply pulled the two of them to his side and said for the two of them.
"Everything in Bau is given by adults. The subordinates are only the heads of the adults and horses, and there are no two hearts! "The sensitive heart of Bau can still be seen in the sensitivity of this operation. As soon as Xie Yuan's voice fell, he immediately said to Luo Shiyin.
"Yes, yes! I don't have anything to say, I will never say anything about this operation to outsiders and let it rot in my stomach. Shi Tianji also seemed to understand the reason why everyone expressed their stance to the commander, and hurriedly followed the words of Xie Yuan and Bau.
"Hehe, you old Shi." In the face of Shi Tianji's overly straightforward statement, Luo Shiyin smiled and nodded Shi Tianji with his hand, not knowing whether to express satisfaction or dissatisfaction.
Of course, Ye Ruliu could hear the deep connotation of Luo Shiyin's words, but in view of her special identity, she didn't speak, just nodded at Luo Shiyin, indicating her heart.
"Okay, cover the box. Let's go up and have a bite to eat with everyone and take a break. Luo Shiyin said to everyone.
