Chapter 7: Annihilation in one fell swoop

didn't have time to think about it, Qian Jin hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the village.

The woman in the blue dress was still waiting anxiously at the entrance of the village. After running to the woman, Qian Jin took a breath and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Silkworm Niang, and I am from this village."

"Do you know how to ride a horse?"

"No...... No, but I'll ride a bull ......."

Qian Jin didn't wait for the silkworm to finish speaking, and said hurriedly: "Silkworm Niang listens to me." There was a gang of pirates here, estimated at about forty or fifty in number, and if they were allowed to wander around, the people in the vicinity would probably suffer heavy casualties. You take my hundred households waist card and hurry up to Zhenjiangwei to find officers and soldiers to come and exterminate them. ”

After that, he stuffed his hundred household waist cards and a Japanese knife into the hands of the silkworm girl, and then couldn't help but help her on the horse.

The silkworm girl remembered the village, so she asked tremblingly: "Engong, the people in the village...... How's it going? ”

Qian Jin stared at the silkworm girl's eyes and shook his head. Although it has not been confirmed with his own eyes, it is estimated that the people in the village have been more and less lucky. Although he can't bear to tell the silkworm the truth, this matter is very important, he can hide it for a while, but he can't hide it for a lifetime.

The silkworm girl's heart was shaken, and she almost fell off the horse. Qian Jin hurriedly held her waist.

Not far away, the shouts of the Japanese were faintly heard. Qian Jin grabbed Erya's halter and said hurriedly: "Erya, this time people's lives are at stake." You help me send this woman to Zhenjiang Mansion, and come back with enough radishes. Anyway, regardless of whether Er Ya understood it or not, he slapped the horse's ass violently.

The second girl hissed, and then carried the silkworm girl to the southeast. Qian Jin looked at the man and horse who were far away and muttered: "But you must come back, my little life is counting on you......"

A long arrow with a whistling sound landed a foot away from Qian Jin, and the tail of the arrow still trembled. Qian Jin almost cursed, and when he looked back, he saw that the group of would-be robbers had reached a hundred paces away. There were about twenty or thirty people chasing after him this time, faintly led by a samurai in red armor, and four or five archers in between.

Qian Jin put the luggage on his back and ran away. There are many people on the other side, and there are still archers, so it is not appropriate to be invincible at this time.

After chasing four or five hundred paces, the gang stopped, cursed for a while, and went back to the village. It is estimated that when he saw that Qian Jin was alone, he didn't take it too seriously. By this time the night had risen, and they did not seem to be looking for any other place to stay.

Qian Jin watched from a distance for a while, and after making sure that they had gone back to the village to rest, he found a haystack in the rice field outside the village and got in.

After harvesting the rice, the villagers like to dry the straw and stack it into stacks for winter. From a distance, the rows of straw stacks stretch as far as the eye can see, but it is a perfect place to hide and rest temporarily.

……

An hour later, Qian Jin had already cultivated enough mental strength. He stepped out of the haystack and patted the straw on his body, and then scanned the surroundings by the moonlight to make sure it was safe.

There was a cold color all around. The water in the field had long since dried up, and only many of the mounds remained; The shadows of the mountains in the distance are abundant, as if covered with a veil of mystery. An official road winds into the distance, and it is clear in the moonlight.

I don't know what realm the silkworm Niang has reached now, and in the middle of the night, a woman rushed to ask for help, and Qian Jin felt guilty. It's just that out of desperation, if the Japanese are allowed to wander around, I am afraid that the government will not know how many villages have been slaughtered when they know about it. I hope that the sword can protect her all the way. Qian Jin thought so.

Taking a few deep breaths of the cold midnight air, he forced his brain into optimal condition, and cut off the hem of his robe to make a belt to tie around his waist. A night dagger and a short musket were tied to the left and right calves, while the Wind Thunder Knife was leaning behind him, and a yellow-brown cowhide bag was tied around his waist. This is the standard configuration of money in and out of the door. The fly in the ointment is that the musket must be temporarily reloaded before use.

By the moonlight, Qian Jin walked under the shadow of the trees, carefully checking for any secret sentinels along the way. After more than a quarter of an hour, he finally touched the vicinity of the village.

The whole village was silent, except for the occasional chirping of insects, and the occasional sound of a pile of embers in the middle of the road. At the foot of the mountain, a winding path is unevenly built on both sides of more than a dozen wooden houses. Behind the village is a hill.

At this time, two Japanese robbers, each armed with a sword, were standing guard at the entrance of the village. It is estimated that he is already sleepy, and his two heads will be the same as chickens pecking rice.

Seeing the situation in the village, Qian Jin felt a big headache, and this gang of would-be robbers would choose a place to be stationed. If the officers and soldiers come here to encircle and suppress, they can defend according to the path, and they can escape from the back mountain. If they are allowed to flee to the mountains and forests, it will be even more difficult to exterminate them in the future. After thinking about it for a while, Qian Jin came up with a plan, that is, to try his best to delay it until the officers and soldiers came to encircle and suppress it.

After making a decision, the money went into the cat's waist and slowly retreated. When he reached a hiding place, he took out his musket, poured some of the * from the cowhide bag into the barrel, opened a hidden buckle on the butt of the musket, took out a sheepskin and a buckshot and filled it, and then rammed it with a wooden stick. Although the musket is lethal enough, it is really troublesome to use.

After getting ready, Qian Jin slowly entered the village with a musket in one hand and a dagger in the other. When he was about a foot away from the two widows, the dagger in his hand shot out and pierced into the chest of one of them.

Another bandit heard the noise and jerked him from his slumber. Qian Jin hurried forward, holding the musket against the bandit's head and pulling the trigger. There was a 'bang', and the widow fell to the ground. After eliminating the two widows, Qian Jin flew and pulled out the dagger, and fled the village without looking back.

When the Japanese in the house heard the gunshots, they came out to investigate, but they didn't even see a single figure. After all the noise, the village fell silent again.

In the early hours of the morning, Qian Jin entered the village again and used a musket to deal with a widow. This time, the leader of the Japanese in red armor was furious. He was the first to chase after him with his sword, followed by the other pirates.

Qian Jin saw that the snake had come out of the hole, and had already fled to the entrance of the village at a gallop. This group of robbers was tossed by Qian Jin for most of the night, and this time they were really angry, and they kept biting Qian Jin and chasing after them.

After leaving the village, Qian Jin ran directly into the field.

Last night, when he saw these mounds and the uneven ridges, he decided to compete with the Japanese in the field. The widows have short legs, and those hedun will affect their speed somewhat. And in some places, the ridges of those fields are actually as tall as a man, so the Japanese people must not be able to get money in the fields quickly.

Sure enough, after chasing for about two miles, the speed of those would-be robbers had slowed down. Qian Jin maneuvered between the haystacks, dodging the arrows, and while choosing some dry straw to pour on*, hitting it with the flint of a musket. In a few moments, smoke was already rising from four or five haystacks.

……

In the evening, Qian Jin collapsed on a ridge.

From last night to now, he has not eaten a grain of rice, not a drop of water, and he has long been exhausted. This group of pirates had already chased him for more than fifty miles, and they still had the strength to chase him here and kill him.

There was one thing that Qian Jin did not predict before, that is, although the Japanese people had short legs, they had good legs. Qian Jin pulled them away for more than a mile at first, and was gradually caught up by them later.

Seeing that Qian Jin couldn't run, there was a fierce laughter from the Japanese Kou's side, and several archers took bows and shot arrows.

Looking at the arrows that were being thrown, Qian Jin struggled to move a few steps. The arrow landed on the ground where he had just fallen, and the tail of the arrow still trembled. Qian Jin sighed, and said in his heart that this time it seemed to be planted.

Think about it, I haven't done a big thing in the past ten years, my father and mother lack support when they are old, and Bao'er is afraid of being bullied by her in-laws after she gets married...... I really don't want to die just like this, there are still too many regrets to be found.

Qian Jinqiang propped up his body and slowly walked towards the Japanese robbers with a Miao knife. If you can't run from side to side, then pull a few more pads before you die.

By this time, one of the Japanese archers had re-bent his bow and arrows, and when he was about to shoot them, he fell headlong with a feathered arrow stuck in his back. Immediately afterwards, a rain of arrows came from behind the side of the Wako, and a dozen or so Wako immediately fell.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was heard on the official road. Qian Jin looked towards the main road, only to see a team of fast horses galloping towards him, counting about 200 people. Looking at the team of people, Qian Jin could no longer support it, and the whole person was paralyzed in the field.

There was no suspense in the next battle, and these forty or fifty would-be robbers chased Qian into dozens of miles, and they didn't have much combat power left. When the horse team approached, one of the officers abandoned his horse and went down to the field, carrying a spear and slaughtering the Japanese invaders. The generals behind also abandoned their horses to follow, and the archers supported from a distance.

The battle lasted a quarter of an hour, and the pirates were completely annihilated.

A general walked up to Qian Jin and said loudly: "I am Yu Dayou, the commander of Zhenjiangwei, but you are Qian Jin of one of the hundred households of Guanhaiwei?" ”

Qian Jin nodded lightly and fell asleep.
