Of course, it was not a bird that suddenly flew in, but a sharp arrow that flashed with cold light and could kill people!

The more than a dozen would-be robbers didn't have time to react, they fell down like wheat cut by a scythe, even though they had hurriedly withdrawn the knives and guns that stabbed at Lu Zhen and the three of them in an attempt to protect themselves, they still couldn't escape the fate of being shot to the ground.

Only the Japanese warrior was the quickest at his sword, and when the rain of arrows came, he hurriedly danced and flew all the arrows that fell in front of him, but he was unable to move against the three people in front of him.

Accompanied by this rain of arrows, there were groups of Hangzhou officers and soldiers with guns and knives on their faces. Amid the shouts of slaughter, they rushed forward, and thousands of soldiers raised their swords and spears and stabbed at these enemies with all their might.

Suddenly, the original one-sided killing was completely reversed, and the Japanese who had slaughtered the people like a vicious god just now were constantly surrounded and killed, and the screams resounded under the Genshan Gate again.

At the same time, the spirit of the defenders who were personally led by Song Jianfei to kill out of the city was also suddenly boosted, and they rushed forward in stride, attacking the back of the already chaotic Japanese robbers, killing them so that they could only turn around and flee for their lives, but they couldn't even think of resisting, let alone stubbornly fighting back.

This sudden reversal made Xie Jingyuan stunned in place for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses: "What...... How so? How could these officers and soldiers come in such a timely manner? ”

In fact, they didn't arrive in time. Now, it is almost noon, and these widows have been in Hangzhou for half a day. As early as when Lu Zhen rushed back to Hangzhou with his people, he had already sent several scouts to go out of the city to look for traces of the Japanese pirates before looking for them nearby, and reported to them the speculation that Hangzhou might be the target of the Japanese invaders.

It's not that Lu Zhen has the ability to predict the future, but because he saw some clues from the other party's actions of chasing and killing the ancestors and grandchildren of the Yu family at any cost.

According to common sense, although the ancestors of the Yu family did have an extraordinary status, there was really no need for the Japanese to chase them closely, unless they wanted to have some idea about these two people.

Under the circumstances at that time, they may not be able to really understand Yu Yanzhao's exact identity, and the only thing they can be sure of is probably that he has a close relationship with the Hangzhou government! But this was obviously not enough for the two of them to become the necessary targets for the Japanese to be captured alive.

There is only one thing that may make sense, the Japanese want to use their identities to defraud the gates of Hangzhou. Think about it, if an important official suddenly appears in front of the city gate, will the officers and soldiers defending the city order to open the door? And as long as the door is opened, with the strong combat power of these Japanese people, it is naturally enough to hold out until the other Japanese robbers who follow them come to kill, and at that time, Hangzhou City can be easily opened even if there is no internal response from them.

Although there is no definite evidence for this speculation for the time being, it is just an idea, Lu Jin, for the sake of stability, still sent people to look for the officials and soldiers around, and called them back to Hangzhou to defend themselves.

However, these Hangzhou officers and soldiers who were looking for the traces of the Japanese invaders went a little far, and they were scattered a little too much, so that it took several scouts half a day to find them, and then hurried back.

In a sense, Lu Jin's ability to get out of death depends on self-help. If it weren't for this decision he made, I'm afraid he would have died today.

Now, however, the tide of battle has been turned around.

The 1,500 Hangzhou guards who had left the city before were all elite in the army, not only well-equipped with weapons, but also practiced every day, otherwise they would not dare to go out of the city to find the Japanese in order to annihilate the enemy. Although the Ming Dynasty has degenerated, but the soldiers and horses of some important places in the big cities still maintain a certain combat effectiveness, Hangzhou as a southeast important place, the Ming Dynasty's money and grain town, although the quality of the officers and soldiers here is not comparable to the capital and the north, but it is far from being comparable to those of the same kind in later generations.

Moreover, after seeing the corpses of those comrades and civilians who were slaughtered in the city, the anger in their hearts was completely aroused, and they fought bravely and everyone scrambled to be the first, and they went towards the Japanese like enraged beasts.

However, the Japanese felt tired after a long battle, and they were facing the unfavorable situation of being attacked on their backs, so the retreat in their hearts was naturally heavier. He barely resisted for a while, and then quickly retreated to the other side.

Only the remaining sixty or so Japanese warriors tried to fight with the official army again. However, the officers and soldiers did not intend to confront them head-on, and while advancing, there were still people who kept throwing arrows at them with crossbow bows, so that these would-be robbers had to be careful when they were about to face the surprise attack of the officers and soldiers.

With such a distraction, even the most powerful Japanese samurai can hardly support it for too long. Soon, nearly half of them were shot down or killed by officers and soldiers. The rest of them finally became timid and began to retreat backwards.

Xie Jingyuan's face had already turned pale, and it was only at this time that he realized what a stupid decision he had made, Hangzhou City was not something he could attack if he wanted to attack it now.

There are only more than 1,000 widows, and if they come with strange murders, they may still be effective. But once you confront the officials and soldiers head-on, there is only one result - defeat! Not to mention taking the city and rescuing his family, he himself is a little difficult to protect at this time.

Tian Guan's face on the side was even more ugly, and he had already regretted it so much that his intestines were blue. Before capturing Ningbo, he thought that the combat strength of the officers and soldiers was no more than that, so he was also full of confidence in taking Hangzhou. Unexpectedly, things were completely unexpected by him, and the officers and soldiers of Hangzhou City were so powerful. The more than 100 officers and soldiers before him alone had already shocked him, and now that reinforcements had arrived, it was even more difficult for him to be entangled.

"Let's go! Boss Xie, hurry up, otherwise it will be too late! After Tian Wan recovered from his panic, he shouted loudly. At the same time, he also shouted to his subordinates: "Blow the trumpet, let the brothers run away!" ”

"Don't ......" Xie Jingyuan suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly stopped him. He knew very well that once he did this, it would be a complete rout, and it would not be so easy to get out.

But Tian Guan's people didn't pay attention to his words at all, and immediately picked up the conch and blew out the order to retreat.

Sure enough, as a result, all the widows had no intention of fighting, and they didn't care about the officers and soldiers rushing behind them, so they turned around and ran back, and they didn't even use the basic self-protection method of fighting and retreating.

And the fate and result of this are easy to predict, in the case of the Japanese invaders fleeing for their lives in such a hurry, the only thing the Ming army has to do is to chase and kill. It doesn't take too much effort to easily harvest the lives of these guys.

chased and fled all the way, leaving behind a road full of corpses of widows, and the guy who was holding up the butcher's knife to the people just now became the prey under the knife of others in the blink of an eye, constantly being cut down, screaming and paying his own price. Only the clever one dropped his weapon early, knelt on the ground, and became a prisoner of the officers and soldiers.

In front of the gate of Genshan, Lu Zhen stood up tremblingly under the support of Qinggele. Although he had several wounds on his body, they were not very deep, but this night's battle and fear made his physical strength completely overdrawn, plus he lost a lot of blood, and the whole person looked really weak.

In fact, the situation of Qinggele, and Lin Lie, who also stepped forward to support Lu Zhen at this time, was not optimistic, and was even more seriously injured than Lu Jin. But the two of them still barely supported themselves, helping Lu Zhen to walk towards the city gate step by step.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, the muscles on Lu Jin's entire face trembled slightly, and he didn't know whether he should feel angry or sad. He only knew that he had done his best to save them, but as a result, hundreds of innocent people still fell under the butcher's knife of the Japanese Invaders.

And it was not only the Japanese who were killed and fled in disarray, but also the officials and generals in the city. If they hadn't kept their doors closed and didn't send people out to help, the people would still have a glimmer of life.

So now he just wants to go up to Huang Qinru and He Huizhou and ask them why they are doing this, why they are locked up outside Hangzhou City!

When he walked to the city gate, his eyes suddenly drooped, and he fell to a man who threw himself on the ground, surrounded by blood, it was Zhu Chang, who had fought desperately before. Looking at this former gang member, Lu Jin's eyes were full of guilt and gratitude.

In fact, although Zhu Chang and Lin Qing took refuge in him, Lu Zhen didn't have much trust in them. Because of their background, Lu Zhen is always wary and reserved. Not to mention comparing them with Lin Lie, even Qinggele, who followed later, has a higher status in Lu Jin's heart than them.

But this time, the two of them fulfilled their promise with their lives, and Lin Qing died tragically under the sword of the Japanese because he saved himself.

"Brother Zhu, I was wrong...... Lu Zhen sighed lightly, and just wanted to squat down and turn the person over, when his face suddenly moved: "He...... ...... still alive" I saw that Zhu Chang actually moved slightly, which made Lu Jin's face suddenly show a smile.

He didn't care about anything else, and immediately shouted: "Come on, come and save people!" ”

At this time, Huang Qinru and several others had also come out of the city. They looked at Lu Jin, who was half-squatting in front of Zhu Chang, with complicated expressions, and opened their mouths, wanting to say something but couldn't say anything.

Lu Zhen felt the gaze of these people, so he slowly raised his head and looked at them with a calm gaze: "Why?" Although it is only three words, it weighs more than a thousand catties.

Everyone didn't dare to meet his gaze and avoided it. But before Lu Jin could say anything more, a sharp voice sounded: "Come on, take Lu Jin down for me!" ”

With this sound, several big men rushed up and stretched out their hands to capture Lu Jin......
