Chapter 146: Chasing the Kou in the Snow Field (8)
"Don't get too close to each other, keep a certain distance, and move quickly to the other side!"
Luo Shangzhi, a man who grew up in the ice and snow, naturally understood what he should pay attention to when marching on the ice with a team of up to 2,000 people, and at the same time, from the abnormal performance of Jumping Jump just now, he had a premonition that there seemed to be some kind of unpredictable danger under the ice approaching his team, so he ordered his men to speed up the march in order to get out of the dangerous place as soon as possible.
As soon as Luo Shangzhi's words fell, he heard bursts of ice bursting on the ice around the team, and with this explosion, round ice caves suddenly appeared on the ice around the team.
"Whew, Whew, Whew......"
Just when everyone was surprised by the difference in the scene in front of them, dozens of Japanese ninjas wearing black thorn suits flew out from the circular ice caves. I saw that each ninja held a weapon with a scythe attached to one end and a meteor hammer to the other.
"Watch out for the saloon in the ninja's hand!"
Ye Ruliu recognized at a glance the weapon in the hands of the ninjas around her, which was one of the three major ninja weapons that had made her Salt Gang brothers suffer a lot during the anti-Japanese operation on the southeast coast - Suo Lian Stick.
Also known as the scythe, this saloon is a multi-purpose weapon commonly used in the hands of Japanese ninjas. The body of the lock scythe is an iron chain nearly four meters long, with a sharp scythe attached to one end and a huge meteor hammer attached to the other end. This weapon is versatile and powerful to use. The sickle seals the throat with blood; The meteor hammer takes a person's life a few meters away.
Dozens of ninjas stood firmly on the ice, reciting together the nine-character ninja talisman that could stimulate their potential. At the same time, they crossed their hands and made various mudras.
"These ninjas are going to smash the ice with the meteor hammer in their hands and sink us to the bottom of the lake." Luo Shiyin said to Luo Shangzhi beside him.
Although Luo Shiyin had never seen the strange weapon in the hand of the ninja in front of him, combined with various factors on the scene, he still quickly saw through the other party's conspiracy.
Sure enough, after more than a dozen ninjas finished chanting, almost at the same time, they waved their arms and threw the meteor hammer in their hands high into the air, and then, with the huge inertia of the lock sickle, their arms were strengthened, and the meteor hammer was smashed heavily into the ice below them.
"Knock, knock, knock......" With a muffled sound, the ice on the surface of the lake erupted into a terrible sound of breaking.
"Brothers, in a spread formation, rush out and kill them!" Without waiting for the ninjas to smash the second hammer, Luo Shangzhi shouted, and took the lead in swinging his weapon to kill the ninjas on the periphery.
More than a dozen ninjas did not panic when they saw the Ming army killing them. They gathered their weapons and leaped backwards in the air, stretching their arms in the air as they smashed the meteor hammer into the place where they had been smashed for the first time.
"Poof, poof, poof...... Click, click, click......" The ice was finally smashed through, and obvious cracks appeared on the ice under the feet of the Ming army. In some densely populated places, the ice collapsed instantly, and dozens of Ming soldiers unfortunately fell into the lake.
"Spread out, don't stand and run. Roll forward on the ice like I did! Luo Shangzhi shouted loudly while lying on the ice to teach everyone.
The Ming army followed Luo Shangzhi's example and rolled forward on the ice, approaching the ninjas of the Wa Kingdom.
"Archers, shoot these shit!" Luo Shangzhi was worried that the Japanese ninja would smash all the ice on the periphery, so he ordered loudly in the rolling figure.
The archers lying on the ice bent their bows and arrows, and the dense arrows flew towards the Japanese ninjas on the periphery in an instant.
The archers of the Ming army immediately bent their bows and arrows and shot at the Japanese ninjas in front.
The ninjas were unable to dodge the locust-like arrows on the flat and wide lake, and more than half of them were killed or wounded in an instant.
"Shi Lang, a few of you rush out and catch one alive!" Luo Shiyin commanded in a low voice.
"Good!" Shi Lang promised, then turned his head to Shi Tianji and said, "Old Shi, I wish me a hand!" ”
Shi Tianji understood, lying on the ice, he held Shi Lang's feet lying in front of him with both hands, and then exerted his arms and shouted in his mouth: "Let's go, you!" Push Shi Lang forward
With the help of Shi Tianji's thrust, Shi Lang's body slid quickly on the ice towards the Japanese ninja in front of him.
Others did the same, and through this way of pushing people, they were able to quickly get out of the broken ice.
Shi Lang took advantage of the inertia of his body to slide quickly, rushed into the group of ninjas, he first tripped the two ninjas on the surface of the lake, and at the same time, his body rotated in place with the help of his body, and cut off the legs of the three ninjas with the embroidered spring knife in his hand.
Shi Tianji, Ye Ruliu, Li Ruzhu and a large number of Ming troops came over one after another.
Seeing that something was wrong, a ninja let out a whistle. The uninjured ninjas fled without a trace in an instant.
Several injured ninjas, unwilling to become prisoners of the Ming army, took out the poison they had brought with them and stuffed them into their mouths.
Shi Lang's eyes were quick, and he snatched the poison from the hands of a nearby ninja with his backhand and threw it on the ice. Seeing that he had failed to commit suicide, the ninja dragged his injured leg and crawled to an ice cave not far away, trying to escape into the water.
At this time, Shi Tianji ran over angrily, stepped on the ninja's head, and then raised his two arms and smashed them into each of his arms.
With two crunching sounds of broken bones, the ninja screamed and passed out.
"Your grandma's! I'll tell you to run! Shi Tianji let go of the foot that was stepping on the ninja's head and scolded fiercely. Love Book House
"Lao Shi, how did you kill people? Adults want to catch them alive! Shi Lang got up from the snow. Because he didn't see that Shi Tianji smashed the ninja's arm, Shi Lang mistakenly thought that Shi Tianji had stoned someone to death.
"Don't worry, brother. And gas! Shi Tianji kicked the unconscious ninja and said to Shi Lang.
"Go, take him with you. Let's go ashore. Luo Shiyin saw that the soldier who had just fallen into the water had been rescued on the ice at this time, so he said to his team members.
Shi Tianji dragged the unconscious ninja to the south shore of the lake like a dead dog, and then threw him on the snow.
Luo Shangzhi and Abbot Xiuneng also led their own men ashore.
Dozens of Ming soldiers who fell into the water were all soaked in their clothes and shivered from the cold snow.
Luo Shangzhi ordered someone to find a pile of dry firewood, pile it behind a rock, and then ignite it, so that the soldiers who fell into the water took off their clothes, put on the clothes lent to them by other soldiers, and then wrung out the moisture of the wet clothes, and then baked them on the fire.
While Luo Shangzhi was busy dealing with the problem of the soldiers who had fallen into the water, on the shore of the lake, Luo Shiyin began to prepare to interrogate the Japanese ninja.
Xie Yuan took a bowl of cold lake water from the lake and poured it on the ninja's head. The ninja shivered and woke up. Due to the broken hands and feet, he could only lie on the snow like a turtle.
"Say, are you responsible for breaking off the team of Governor Konishi?" Under Xie Yuan's translation, Luo Shiyin began to interrogate the ninja.
When the ninja heard Luo Shiyin's question, he first struggled to look up at the team members around him, and then closed his eyes and refused to speak.
Luo Shiyin hoped to learn from this ninja as soon as possible about the intelligence of the troops led by Governor Konishi, so that he could work with Luo Shangzhi and Xiu Neng to formulate a targeted pursuit plan. When he saw that this ninja was acting like he was stubborn to the end, he said to Shi Tianji with some impatience: "Old Shi, you have to find a way to get him to speak as soon as possible!" ”
"Okay, let's see how I pry his pig's mouth open!" Shi Tianji answered, stepped forward and stepped on the knee joint of the ninja's right leg, and then, with a little force, only to hear a "click", the ninja's leg bone was broken by Shi Tianji from the knee.
"Ahh
"How? Comfortable? Want to speak? Shi Tianji lowered his head and asked the ninja in a vicious tone.
"I'll grass your ancestor!" The ninja gritted his teeth and scolded Shi Tianji.
"Okay, finally spoke. Ay? Wrong. Why do I think you kid is scolding me! Shi Tianji couldn't understand the Chinese language, at first, he thought that this ninja was about to open his mouth to explain, but when he saw the ninja staring at him, gritting his teeth, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Xie Yuan translated the ninja's words to Shi Tianji as they were.
Shi Tianji was immediately furious.
"Good, good! How dare you scold me! I wanted to save some face for your kid, but I didn't expect you to be a shell at the bottom of the table - I couldn't hold it up. I'll see if your bones are hard or my iron is hard! When Shi Tianji spoke, there was an expression of benevolence and righteousness on his face, he first pulled out an iron shovel from his back, and then, squatting down, holding down one of the ninja's legs with one hand, raising the iron shovel in his hand, and slamming it down on the kneecap of the ninja's other leg.
"Click!"
"Ahh
With a crunch of broken bones, the ninja let out a pig-killing scream.
Before that was over, Shi Tianji pulled out another knife from his waist, raised the knife in his hand, and cut off one of the ninja's ears.
This time, the ninja just snorted, and it seemed that the intense pain had left him with no strength to scream anymore.
"Oh, no. The knife just now slashed a little fast. Next, it's time for this ear. This time, I had to calm down and take my time. Shi Tianji said, grabbing the ninja's remaining ear with one hand, bringing the blade close to the ear chakra, and slowly pulling the knife back and forth little by little.
The ninja's remnant ears slowly detached from their heads under Shi Tianji's knife. Crimson blood ran down the ninja's neck, staining the snow beneath a large area red.
"I ...... "Under the torture of severe pain, ...... ninja finally gave in.
"Well, that's right. If you were so glad, how could you suffer this sin? Shi Tianji stopped, and only the earlobe was left with the scalp in his hand.
"Yes, we ambushed you again and again just to buy time for General Konishi's troops so that they could safely withdraw to Wang Jing." The ninja said.
"How many people are in this troop led by Governor Konishi this time?" Luo Shiyin continued to ask.
"There are nearly 4,000 people, all of them General Konishi's retainers." The ninja said weakly.
"How far away are they?" Hearing the ninja's explanation of the number of Japanese people, the expression on Luo Shiyin's face became grim, and he continued to ask.
"Yesterday at noon, we were ordered to come here to set up an ambush, and at that time our team had already arrived at a place called Goddess Peak, ten miles away." The ninja closed his eyes and answered Luo Shiyin's questions one by one.
