Chapter 437: The Ghost in the Jungle

Habu took out his steel knife and hid behind a tree, with a kind of blood in his mouth and nose, this unknown number of years of the tree was thick enough to cover his entire body, the trunk of the tree protruded from below, behind him were a group of soldiers with red flags, their eyes were full of fierce light, and said: "Hmph, in the woods, it is impossible for the Ming people to defeat us!" "All of the men are full of confidence, they themselves are a fishing and hunting people born between the white mountains and black waters, and no one is more familiar with the battle between the jungles than them.

He took off his bow and quickly took off a heavy arrow, Jia Yan beside him licked his lips and sighed, "Don't be careless!" I think this group of Ming troops is very unusual" The terrifying firearms and huge battleships just now made him feel a burst of fear in his heart, and the mountain-like battleships made people feel deeply powerless.

"Humph! So what, how do they use artillery in the woods? Here they don't use firearms at all! Habu laughed, and a burst of shouting could be heard in the distance, the sound was very dense, there was no Ming language he imagined, he knew that there were many dialects of Ming people, but he had not heard of this dialect? He looked at the money.

But it was a group of Vikings, they were tall, holding long swords or other heavy weapons in their hands, with horned helmets, basically the kind of big swords, the hilt part of the barb, exuding a terrifying cold, behind them was a burst of chirping birds, but they were Japanese samurai, they were wearing kimonos or unique armor, holding katanas, their eyes were indifferent, and some samurai wearing wooden shoes stepped on the ground and made a crisp sound.

"How can the Ming army have such a group of barbarian subordinates?" Habu wondered who this was. The Ming army actually recruited a group of Xiyi to come, he wiped his eyes, it was indeed a group of barbarians and Japanese, and said, "Shoot arrows!" Shoot them," he saw that most of the people in this group did not even have armor, so he hurriedly released the arrows.

The sound of the bowstring being pulled apart, the sound of the bowstring being pulled apart, the sound of swishing β€”β€”β€”β€” breaking through the air, and the clusters of arrows quickly shuttled through the jungle.

Flutter flutterβ€”β€”β€”β€” tall Viking in front of him immediately screamed and fell to the ground, and the arrow cluster was inserted into his chest, and the arrow feathers trembled. A black-clothed man in charge of the command in the back had a solemn look in his eyes and said, "Ninja! Bear it," he clapped his hands, and the Vikings or Japanese samurai stepped back.

A group of men in black rushed forward, wearing short knives and magiles, and rushed forward, and soon disappeared into the jungle.

Hab breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the Vikings in front of him stopped moving forward and said, "Good! This group of people is quite acquainted," he laughed, and hummed, he could have walked around the forest for a long time.

A scream suddenly sounded β€”β€”β€”β€” he turned around to see one of his men suddenly hit by a crossbow arrow and fall to the ground screaming. He exasperated, "Shoot, shoot!" ”

The shadows of the trees in the distance shook for a while, and a group of bows and arrows were shooting in that direction, swishing β€”β€”β€”β€” heavy arrows shuttled through the jungle, but there was no sound of arrows in the dense jungle in the distance, and the surroundings were calm again, and Habu said angrily, "Running so fast, this damn mouse!" He looked at his men with arrows in their necks, and they couldn't survive.

"Damn? Who the hell is it? Hab said, looking out into the jungle with horror, "Too fast, isn't it?" Is it a coincidence that they were so fast and fled from where they stood in an instant and dodged the cluster of arrows?

Ahβ€”β€”β€”β€” there was a terrible scream in the jungle in the distance, and a group of people looked into the distance, the man had fallen in a pool of blood, and the faces of the Qing soldiers around him became frightened, this time there was nothing around, no footprints.

"Is it a mountain ghost?" A soldier swallowed his saliva and kept shivering, and the Qing troops all around looked around with fear, only the salsa sound of the leaves, which was unusually calm.

"Don't talk nonsense, where did the mountain ghost come from" Habu snorted but saw Jia Yan give him a look, but it meant to kill this soldier who disturbed the morale of the army, he shook his head and did not speak, Jia Yan snorted with dissatisfaction, but there was nothing he could do.

"Let's just stand more densely," Habu said, wiping the sweat from his head, looking at the jungle around him, looking at the corpses of his companions, speechless, where the hell are the Ming army? He had never been so aggrieved that he had killed two of his companions without even seeing the enemy's face

***********

The sound of the armor crashing came, and a group of people walked onto the island, and it was Li Rong and he could hear a terrible scream in the island every once in a while, he didn't understand what was going on on the island, this was obviously just a surprise brought to him by a team of general soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and he was just secretly sent to follow this Ming army with the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that the local forces of this Ming army showed him unparalleled strength, first the rocket, It's now a warship like a mountain.

Randomly he covered his mouth and looked at the scene in front of him with an unbelievable light, the incomparably strong fort in front of him, the wall with the inner layer of blue bricks and stone wrapped with soil became a ruin at the moment, he couldn't see that the original shape was full of broken bricks and broken clods, and the corpse of the Qing army, he saw for the first time that the solid fort was beaten into this like a mound of earth, and the fort built on the rock, the rock had cracked a crack, he looked at the warship of the Ming army in the distance, and his heart was even more frightened! Is this really the strength that a local sailor can have?

He imagined in his mind that if the walls of Pyongyang were to encounter this kind of fire, he was afraid that the walls would be smashed to pieces in half a day. The Ming Dynasty already had such a ferocious artillery, and he suddenly had a hope in his heart that he could have such artillery warships, and if only North Korea could have such artillery warships, he would ask for these manufacturing technologies.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was sternly rejected by the man in black, which made him very embarrassed, he obviously saw Qi Mu's intention to move, but because the man in black said nothing.

This Qi Mu is obviously the boss, but I don't know why, this Qi Mu is obedient to him, Qi Mu has decided to send rockets to North Korea but was refused. "General, don't think about it anymore, if I rebel in North Korea in the future, with sharp firearms, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

Qi Mu nodded and thought yes, but the man in black shook his head and said, "No, when the time comes, on the day of the counterattack, I will naturally send rockets to you" He was worried that these Koreans would send rockets to Houjin, after all, there was a lesson from the Japanese samurai who assassinated Huang Taiji and was betrayed by the Koreans, and he didn't believe in the loyalty of the Koreans.

The group stopped talking and walked forward, and nearby were a group of samurai guards, their unique family crest engraved on their bodies, holding their katana swords and coldly scanning the surrounding situation.

Li Ronghe looked at the man in black on the side and was helpless, he was really stubborn, but he was much relieved that the Ming army had such a strong strength, and the man in black said, "In the future, you North Korea will transport grain to this island!" He said in a commanding tone.

"My lord, this? I'm afraid won't ship too much, you know, us? Li Ronghe said that at this moment North Korea has been like the Qing Dynasty surrendered, but the unwilling Korean king secretly sent a man to seek, just looking for a glimmer of hope, if the large-scale delivery of grain was known by the Qing army, there would be good fruits of North Korea to eat.

"Humph!" The man in black snorted and stopped talking, and Li Ronghe sighed and said, "My lord, I have already taken a big risk by bringing a few warships over this time!" My king is naturally very willing to be transported by the kingdom of grain and grass, but if the Qing army learns about it, it will definitely slaughter our people! ”

"It's okay, our army has its own plans for food," Qi Mu said with a smile, but at this moment North Korea is the suzerainty of the Qing Dynasty, if you let the Qing Dynasty know that you will destroy the Li Dynasty at any cost, change an emperor or simply occupy it directly, don't expect North Korea to send troops to help, and in the future, the Ming army will not even have the opportunity to contact the Li Dynasty at this moment to attack the Qing Dynasty together, and said, "Indeed, this time you pretend to be obedient, and in the future, I will send troops together with the Ming counterattack!" ”。

Li Ronghe breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the man in black was a little displeased, and knew that this person's status in the Ming army must not be low, so he said, "My lord, I still have it on the ship. He whispered in the ear of the man in black, who smiled and said, "Well, yes, yes."

Li Ronghe said strangely, "Alas? By the way, why don't we attack the Qing army in the jungle" He wondered that a group of soldiers nearby were curled up waiting here?

"Soon the Qing army will come out of the forest" Qi Mu laughed and said, Li Ronghe wondered, how could the Qing army come out of the forest?

Wow wowβ€”β€”β€”β€” after a while, a burst of frightened sounds came from the forest, flocks of birds were frightened and flew up, a group of Qing troops suddenly came out of the forest, their expressions were full of fear, very embarrassed, as if there was some flood beast inside, some people sat directly on the ground panting, out of the forest for them as if they had escaped from heaven.

Habu's heart was full of horror and anger, and he felt extremely aggrieved, that ghostly enemy made him collapse, and there was no trace of the enemy. His brothers died one after another. He thought that it would be better to go to the shore than to die in such a humiliated way, and to be killed by the cannon was as happy as being in the woods.

Seeing a few people in the distance wearing Mingguang armor and being embraced, he was surprised, "Ming army general, kill him" He saw a few people in ecstasy to kill these generals, but he saw the short Japanese samurai in front of him laughing, haha, this group of Ming people actually found a group of people who didn't even have armor to protect them.

Kill! A group of Japanese samurai rushed out, their shiny katana swords exuding a cold glow, and Sakuma, led by them, rushed to the front.

"Kill this group of dwarves" Habu shouted coldly, and a group of Qing troops behind him responded, they didn't have time to set up any military formation, they picked up the weapons in their hands and rushed forward, and the crisp sound of chain mail hitting sounded, echoing on this shore.

These Japanese samurai swordsmanship rushed into the ranks of the Qing army with great speed, and in an instant it was a slaughtering version of the battle. The Sakuma katana at the front slashed down, and a spark flashed, and before the Qing army on the other side could react, his katana stabbed straight into the chest of the Qing army.

The Qing army looked at him with puzzlement, as if he didn't understand why the other party's knife was so fast, and he fell to the ground with convulsions.

The Qing army was horrified to find that these Japanese samurai had unparalleled melee combat ability, and the opportunity to form a military formation was not easily slaughtered by these Japanese samurai.

Li Ronghe was speechless in horror, he looked at this group of powerful Vikings, their bloodthirsty and violent appearance, and the Japanese samurai who were like machines, and said, "Is this really the strength of the Guogong alone?" "The Japanese samurai and this barbarian who have never seen before, are so strong in combat that they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty as a local force?

The battle in front of them has ended, a corpse, a carrier pigeon flew out of their heads, and the archers on the side were about to shoot down but were stopped by Qi Mu, and said, "We are fighting this battle so that the pigeon that reports the news can fly to the hands of Huang Taiji, and if you shoot him down, won't this battle be in vain!" ”

**************

Bang bangβ€”β€”β€”β€” roar of artillery fire, the ground trembled, and there were shouts of killing.

Huang Taiji sat on the special chair, the city wall on the Guanning army is manipulating the artillery counterattack, the other party's gunners are obviously of higher quality, the Qing army's shield car was concentrated by the artillery, and the sawdust flew sideways, and the Qing army inside let out a scream.

A random cannonball hit the gunner of the Guanning army, and half of his body disappeared when he touched it, and the screams were all densely landed on the city wall without cannonballs, and all the Guanning soldiers were a little frightened, looking under the city wall, they could see that if the shield cart let them get fifty steps closer to the city wall, the archers inside would shoot at them.

"Has the letter for help been delivered?" A middle-aged general said that it was Zu Dashou, his eyes were extremely solemn, and the pro-soldier on the side said, "No, the enemy blockade is too strict, and our sentry can't send a letter at all!" His face was full of pain, and he said, "We've had several brothers dead."

"Alas!" Zu Dashou hammered his chest, sighed and said, "Pigeon! Release the pigeons, I don't believe they can shoot all my pigeons" The soldiers on the side shook their heads and said, "The Mongols outside are too accurate in archery, and it is difficult for our pigeons to send out!" β€œ

Hearing him say this, Zu Dashou also noticed that those Mongolians were dressed a little differently than they used to see, and they were more fierce and barbaric! "Tartars, they are stronger every time!" This battle is really getting more and more difficult to fight" It turns out that the Ming army can still test firearms and have an advantage, but at this moment, even the advantage of firearms is almost gone.

"Yes! Where did these Tartars get so many firearms" The soldiers on the side had a ghostly expression, looking at the Qing army who had a huge number of firearms outside, full of puzzled eyes, Zu Dashou muttered, "It shouldn't be, there are so many craftsmen outside the gate" He looked at the northeast again, North Korea? Well, that's all there is to it.

Many people in the Ming army on the city wall have not dared to show their heads, and the Guan Ning army, which is accustomed to being punished with firearms, Zu Dashou kept running and shouting.

"Where is the artillery aiming" Huang Taiji pointed to Zu Dashou on that section of the city wall, and all the Eight Banners Baylor on the side looked excited, and Dolgon said, "This time, my firearms have been expanded, and it is easier to attack the city!" All Baylor nodded, they all didn't agree with the expansion of the Han Eight Banners, but they tasted the sweetness at this moment.

From time to time, a spy came to "Master, it's not good, it's not good" but it was a coated servant of Huang Taiji, his face was full of horror, and Huang Taiji slashed, "What's wrong, make a fuss!" ”
