Chapter 44: Fighting the Wokos
"Change a batch of crossbowmen." Zhu Youzhen gave the order again, and now he has become the idol of the Fenwu Battalion and a hero in the eyes of all officers and soldiers.
Except for Wang Qiang, who restrained the Japanese in the north and south, and the cavalry of the Qian Limin Department, all the soldiers became crossbowmen and personally experienced the thrill of shooting the Japanese with a crossbow.
More importantly, let the soldiers see blood on the battlefield and let them quickly grow into qualified soldiers, from this aspect, Zhu Youzhen should be grateful to Wei Zhongxian for giving him this opportunity.
There were less than 200 of them, and they were almost surrounded in a circle, and although the outer circle of the circle still held the long, curved sword in both hands, their expressions were no longer as fierce as they had been at the beginning, and the only remaining samurai spirit could be glimpsed from the glowing sword.
Their eyes were almost dilate, their upper eyelids drooped, and they looked like they were waiting for death. At this time, if anyone can shout "surrender the gun and don't kill" in the Japanese language, it is estimated that many Japanese will put down the Japanese knives in their hands, kneel on the ground and kowtow and surrender.
Their swords were once stained with the blood of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and today, they still resolutely emitted a miserable white aura, but in front of the Fenwu Battalion, they have not yet had a chance to show it.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the Fenwu Battalion, the current Wako are like wounded rats, they squint their eyes, completely give up the desire to escape, and can only beg for mercy from humans. At this time, only if you touch them with your feet and prompt them to go, will they secretly shine and rekindle their hope.
Zhu Youzhen, who has hundreds of years of life experience, will not be Mr. Dongguo, because he, like a well-meaning farmer, will not have good results. On the battlefield, mercy for the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
If these would-be robbers can leave the Ming Dynasty without danger today, who can guarantee that they will not backhand and harvest the heads of some Han people? Zhu Youzhen would never let them go, whether it was because of memory or because of the crimes they committed in Daming.
If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and if you disregard people's lives, others will also disregard your lives.
Zhu Youzhen looked up at the sky, the sun was still hanging halfway up the mountain, it was too early for dark, and the battle had only been more than an hour. He didn't speak, and asked the soldiers of the Fenwu Battalion to shoot the Japanese according to their inertia, and by the way, they practiced their courage, and the vast majority of the soldiers of the Fenwu Battalion saw blood on the battlefield for the first time.
The soldiers of the Fenwu battalion rarely spoke, and so did Liu Xingyu, the general who began to fight desperately with the Japanese Kou. He silently counted the number of Japanese robbers he had shot, and he had long since lost the passion in his heart to show in front of the Japanese robbers, in front of the tofu on these battlefields, all words were superfluous, all he had to do was to let these tofu who had despised him and despise the Fenwu camp be born as soon as possible.
I hope that they can know more about themselves in the next life, one can not understand others, but one must understand oneself.
The number of pirates had dropped to less than fifty, except, of course, those who fell to the ground but did not die. At this time, there were far more Japanese soldiers struggling on the ground than there were standing ones, but they were not yet the target of the Fenwu Battalion, and even if they could stand up, even if the Fenwu Battalion did not chase after them, they would be killed by just shedding blood.
In fact, these wounded vakos, after a long period of bleeding, have become extremely weak, and the soldiers of the Fenwu battalion, without swords and guns, without bows and crossbows, can make them fall back with a single finger.
Suddenly, one of the stronger Wakko in the group yelled at himself, at one point at the Fenwu Battalion, at another at the Fenwu Battalion, at another at the sky with his sword, and at the Fenwu Battalion at the moment showing the strong muscles in his arm. Judging by the awe-inspiring expressions of the other Wakos, he should be the leader of the Wakos, or one of the leaders.
"What is he going to do? Don't you think you're dying fast enough? I'll give him a ride first. Qian Limin, the cavalry Qian, happened to come to Zhu Youzhen's side, and he wanted to show his cavalry shooting in front of Zhu Youzhen. As he spoke, he put away his spear, and took off his bow from his back, about to take the arrow.
"Wait." Zhu Youzhen hurriedly stopped him, "The Japanese are going to duel with me, I want them to see what real martial arts are." The light of the fireflies also wants to compete with the sun and the moon. Compared with Da Ming, in any aspect, you are far behind. The imminent annihilation of the Japanese invaders aroused Zhu Youzhen's pride, he pressed down with both hands, and all the soldiers stopped shooting. Zhu Youzhen dismounted, pulled out the saber he was carrying, and stood at the front of the Fenwu camp.
"You?" Qin Yongnian exclaimed, "Victory is in sight, how can the Lord be in danger?" ”
"The commander reassures my lord, I have been instructed by a master since I was a child, and I have not seen any blood on the knife so far. Today, I just borrowed the blood of the Japanese to sacrifice the sword. "Actually, Zhu Youzhen just found a reason for himself, when Tian Ergeng sent Jinyi Wei to assassinate Zhu Youzhen, his knife had already seen blood.
"Your Highness, let me come! You are the commander in command. In the crisis, Wang Mujiu couldn't care about Zhu Youzhen's identity, besides, Zhu Youzhen had already expressed his true identity to the Fenwu Battalion.
"You? Haha, I still taught you how to use your knife. Rest assured, now that the big picture is settled, I won't joke with my life. Zhu Youzhen patted Wang Mujiu's shoulder, turned around and took a few steps forward.
Only then did Wang Mujiu remember that the sword techniques of the special combat team were all taught by Zhu Youzhen. The last time he returned to the palace with King Xin, he encountered an assassin, but Zhu Youzhen became his bodyguard. But he was still not at ease, so he had to look at Qin Yongnian, hoping that Qin Yongnian could stop Zhu Youzhen's willfulness.
Qin Yongnian looked at Zhu Youzhen, he remembered Zhu Youzhen's toughness just now, and also remembered Zhu Youzhen's last assassination, and finally nodded helplessly. But he still kept his back hand: "Special combat team, make all preparations, ready to attack at any time." ”
"Yes." Wang Mujiu agreed, since Qin Yongnian had no choice, he had no choice but to acquiesce. In accordance with Qin Yongnian's instructions, he arranged for several soldiers with outstanding bow and arrow skills to set up their bows and arrows, ready to give a fatal blow to the leader of the Japanese Invaders when Zhu Youzhen was unfavorable, and he himself took a few soldiers with excellent sword skills to stand at the front of the Fenwu camp, ready to rescue Zhu Youzhen at any time.
Although horses can run much faster than humans, horses need to start and are much slower to start than humans with active starting. Zhu Youzhen and the Japanese Kou heads-up, the victory or defeat was only a matter of a moment, and the horses didn't have time to start at all, so Wang Mujiu preferred to choose on foot.
At this time, Zhu Youzhen was already standing two feet in front of Wang Mujiu. With a knife in his right hand and his left hand in front of his chest, palm facing inward, he beckoned to the leader of the pirates.
The leader of the pirates held his sword in both hands, and very obediently rushed out of the group of pirates, letting out a strange cry of "ah, ah".
The two stood five feet apart, each holding his own Ruyi knife. The soldiers on both sides forgot to cheer for their commander. Before the thunder, the battlefield was surprisingly silent, not even the wind came to join in the fun, only the wounded widows, the sound of blood spurting wildly, was the only murmur on the battlefield at this time.
There was a loud shout, and I don't know who made the sound, but I saw the flash of the sword, followed by the sound of the impact of the blade, like lightning slashing, and the blow stopped.
All the people, including Wang Mujiu and the soldiers of the special combat team who were already ready to fly, had no time to react.
With a "dang long", half of the sword fell to the ground, and the leader of the sword, still holding the handle of the half-cut knife, stood upright in the center of the field, half of his head slowly rolled from the top of his head to the instep, and then from the instep to the ground, and the blood was like a fountain in a pool, shooting straight five steps away.
It turned out that the "Golden Jade Full Hall" infused with the Void Pole Divine Skill was so powerful, Zhu Youzhen was secretly happy in his heart, if it wasn't for the leader of this widow to feed him, he really didn't know how far his sword skills had been practiced now.
Time and space have stood still at this moment, and both the Fenwu Battalion and the Japanese Invaders seem to have been weathered by the Shandong Plain.
Then there was a one-sided cheer, the Fenwu camp cheered, but the pirates continued to weather. The sound wave of cheer shook the air, and the leader of the Japanese koku slowly fell down in the vibration of the sound wave, making a "pop" sound, and fell to the ground in a dull manner, and half of his face was thrown far away by inertia.
"King Shin has won!" The special combat team cheered, and now there is no need to hide Zhu Youzhen's identity.
"It's over!" The other soldiers of the Fenwu battalion did not know Zhu Youzhen's identity for the time being, but half of the head of the leader of the Japanese invaders made them understand that the Japanese were finally going to be completely wiped out.
"Tongzhi-sama has won!" The soldiers, who also did not know Zhu Youzhen's true identity, shouted that the Fenwu Battalion not only wanted to completely annihilate the Japanese Invaders, but also won the duel between the main generals, and the Fenwu Battalion defeated the Japanese Invaders.
Zhu Youzhen looked at the blood-dripping blade, and sighed infinitely in his heart, the first time he was in charge of the army, he was finally about to end in a complete victory, and the two thousand fierce Japanese were about to be completely annihilated.
The remaining dozens of widows were all there, with only sluggishness and despair in their eyes.
It is the eyes of a sheep that has fallen into the wolves, has no resistance, no escape, and is slaughtered.
They were all frightened, and although the sword was still in their hands, the people froze there. At this time, any soldier of the Fenwu Battalion can calmly clean them up.
A person who does not put down a butcher's knife is not a prisoner of war. Zhu Youzhen had a full reason to eliminate the Japanese invaders. He didn't think that if the Japanese put down their butcher knives and surrendered to the Fenwu camp, would he accept prisoners of war? Will he spare these once mad widows?
If, no if.
Zhu Youzhen didn't give the widow a chance to put down the butcher's knife, and he issued the last order to kill. Maybe the pirates forgot to put down their butcher knives, maybe they didn't think about surrendering at all, and the pride of the samurai made them prefer to die.
There is no shame in them to die under strong hands.
"The special combat team will attack and wipe out all the pirates."
The wind swept away, and dozens of Japanese robbers soon followed their leader.
The special combat team, which had not taken any chance for half a day, finally had a chance to show its talents. However, they were particularly unhappy.
The last few dozen remaining widows, before they fell, seemed to have been pointed at the acupuncture points, and they froze there, whether they were slashed with knives or shot with arrows, they all maintained their original posture, neither dodging nor fighting back, as if they had already lost their souls for three thousand miles.
Zhu Youzhen didn't have the heart to think about whether the Japanese were adopting spiritual warfare methods and non-violent non-cooperation; Or have long since lost the spirit that they have always focused on the samurai, and without spiritual support, they would have collapsed long ago.
It's over, Shandong's war to exterminate the Japanese is over, this is the result that Zhu Youzhen wants to see the most, as for the process, he has no heart to summarize it now.
"Herald, tell Li Yuan of Linzi Zhixian County to prepare wine and food."
The soldiers cheered again, for the first time on the battlefield in the face of great pressure, and now, they needed a good wine to release the pressure.
"The battalions cleaned up the battlefield and buried the bodies."
It's summer, and the corpses will decompose quickly, and if they are not buried soon, a large number of Wako corpses will decompose, which may cause a plague.
Before setting off to rush back to Linzi County, the staff officers of the army sent a detailed list, and a total of 275,462 taels of silver, 5,365 taels of gold, and a number of various jewels were seized from the Japanese Kou, waiting for appraisal.
