Chapter 9: The City of Guardians

The organs are exhausted, but the people are the people, and the princes of Hayama are all the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Once it arrives, it always goes around, and the long-sleeved dance goes to all directions.

Two sides and three knives, repeatedly, the end of the nest.

The son and the mother are gone, and the big dream returns, who knows the twists and turns.

- "Xinyue Epic: The Island Lord of Yushan Mountain"

Counting the days, today is the sixteenth day of April.

When the hazy moonlight reflected the round mountains of Hayama Island, surrounded by starry nights, and in the faint sea mist, our painting boat finally arrived here slowly. I saw Wei Yu City, a city built by the "Qingzheng Flow City Building Technique", which has become a superb sound.

This castle was built by the Kato Curtain under Kumamoto's account in order to occupy Hayama Island for a long time in order to occupy Hayama Island, an excellent place for supply on land and sea, in order to occupy the border expansion war in the last century.

Later, in the battle between Xinyue and Luowei, the castle towers of all sizes were on fire, and the armor, swords, banners, battle helmets, military books, and materials of famous generals from all over Xinyue and Luowei were destroyed.

However, relying on the lost Qingzheng construction technique, the overall fortifications built are still standing, and after later repairs, they can soon be put into battle again, and it has also become a sea supply center for Luo Wei for nearly 20 years.

According to the previous reports of the assassins in Xinyue, the mystery of the construction of this castle lies mainly in the selection of a high stone wall that is nearly twice as high as the usual castle, and this fortification was also used to cast the castle tower of Gumu Castle, a famous local city of Luowei.

When I came this time, I looked at it from a distance, and the first thing I saw was the thirty mountain cannons standing on the Weiyu Castle, the thousands of fire crossbow bows, and the shiny katana and cross bow in the hands of the red armor warriors, as well as the same neat row of cross-sail warships on the sea and the lookout pavilion that was built at a strange height but still guarded by samurai.

Now, the owner of Hayama Island, who was already a puppet of the Luo Wa, sent someone to greet him, but it was not so much to greet him, but to follow the island owner's personal guards and conduct a close interrogation under the supervision of the Luo Wa soldiers.

After many checks and confirmation that there were no dangerous goods, the Mose Summons who came opened the order of the expeditionary force commander Saigo, and ordered all the others to stay in the painting boat and not to enter the city or get off the boat, and only let the singing and dancing musicians enter to be passed on.

Fortunately, I had been prepared in advance, Huang Chun, and Kong Lifei were all dressed in musician clothes, but when the second pass passed, I still triggered further interrogation because of my tall stature, asking me what my function was.

Before I could think about it, I had already seen Miss Shi smile and said to the island owner, "This is the tuner of He Youyou girl, tuning and tuning, he is indispensable." So he was allowed to go.

All the way to the city, it led us directly to a mansion in the southwest of the city to rest.

On this trip, I saw that in this Weiyu city, the structure of the mansion, and the north-south traffic were all very sophisticated, but with an incomparable sense of solemnity.

The bloody aura in the city is very heavy, obviously not long ago, the killing was very heavy, and my internal force has always been sharp under the urging of the six senses, and I soon judged that the bloodiest aura came from the south.

During the half month of sailing, there was no news, and I don't know if the Beiming army had fought with it, and what the situation is now.

Since Huang Chun and I heard that the Beiming Navy was forced to respond to the battle in advance, and saw that the size of the main warships of the Navy Division was different, it must take time to build the first batch of ordnance that is uniform, convenient for the uniform caliber of all kinds of ordnance and equipment, and easy to replace.

It was invariably the same, thinking that this time, although it was in the name of performing arts, it was a superficial task, and the real task was to assassinate a few girls from the Phoenix Pavilion and take advantage of the chaos to attack and achieve some important results.

But they all felt that this matter was not simple, so they secretly discussed it with Prince Ning, and made a lot of preparations.

It's just that now the girls are defenseless to hide, and even the close-fitting clothes and hairpins have all been taken off and replaced with their skirts according to the requirements of the Luo Wei etiquette system.

And most of the other party are famous generals who are brave and have gone through the battlefield, which really makes people faintly worry about the girls of the Phoenix Pavilion.

But in the end, there is no other way to better hold back the enemy and deal a blow to the head.

The Japanese sailors mostly carried crossbows, arquebuses and fire bows and arrows, and the firepower of the warships was strong.

General Yu Dayou, a famous general of the New Vietnam Water War of the previous generation, once said:

"There is no other way to play tactics at sea, the one with the largest scale wins, the one with the strongest attack wins, and the one with the best ship wins."

Although this is not entirely the case, it is also an indisputable fact that naval warfare is more dependent on the victory of ordnance and equipment than land warfare.

Therefore, if we can hold back the enemy army, give our side an opportunity, and then send some surprise troops, and achieve some partial victories to boost morale, then when the new warships and ordnance are put into actual combat, the chances of victory will be much greater.

And delaying the enemy's offensive is the least costly and relatively most likely thing for me to achieve at present, and I am afraid that it will be the assassination of its main general.

When he got such an opportunity to perform, even if he knew that it might be bait, this bait could also be a desperate bait, but he had to die for it.

In the next few days, we accompanied the girls in Weiyu City to perform songs and dances for the soldiers and nobles of the battalions, but the interest of the Japanese generals in singing and dancing was beyond our expectations, perhaps in a foreign land, it may be easy to capture military prostitutes, but most of them can't hear high-level dance and music performances.

The Luo Wei system is quite similar to Beiming, but the expansiveness and martial arts are far greater than those of Beiming, and Luo Wei is an island country, and the resources are not abundant, and plundering at sea is the only way to make a fortune and accumulate primitively.

And naturally, at the cost of blood and life, these generals and soldiers, and even more, are also victims, as for satisfying their spiritual needs, I am afraid that even the generals who are fighting abroad will not be able to get it.

And there are not many works that can conform to the extreme spirit of the Luo Wa warriors for the coexistence of softness and killing, so soon, because of the artistic attainments of several girls, the Japanese samurai around us were a little polite to us.

Especially for a few girls, it is rare to show the pity and pity of one or two scholars and doctors, and when they are cruel to the catharsis of the civilian women who were abducted in the army, the temperament of the Japanese is probably like this.

In Shi Lingyun's introduction, I learned that Luo Wei called himself Shengluo, and called Xinyue Xinwu, and Beiming Beikou, and in the past few days of communication, I learned some simple and daily Japanese language.

Taking the opportunity of performing in the four battalions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the city, the forward battalion, the Xiaoxing camp and other places, she was placed in the Xiaoxing battalion, which was responsible for the security and logistics in the city, and was originally subordinate to the island owner.

The night before we finally went to the Chinese military tent to perform for the head coach Saigo Takaya and his staff, the owner of Yushan Island also came to pay us some condolences, toast and appreciate, and hoped that we would perform well.

At dusk the next day, we were ordered to perform on the stage.

On the way, I, Huang Chun and Kong Lifei rode in the carriage of the carriage suddenly jumped inexplicably, pulling the carriage to run wildly, and finally all the warriors took arrows to shoot the horses, the horses were crazy, and finally the three of us flew out of a few zhang, the whole carriage fell and rolled several times in the city road before stopping, and the horse also sprayed white foam, and from time to time it was silent.

Miss Shi hurriedly consulted with her fellow warrior sentry commander in the Japanese language whether she could order two or three people to send me back to rest, while they continued to perform so as not to miss the hour.

The warriors looked us up and down a few times, told Miss Shi that he would order someone to send Kong Lifei and Huang Chun back to rest, and pointed at me and said that I didn't have any serious injuries in the past, so it was okay.

So I rode with a few girls and continued to the Chinese military tent.

Then, when he saw that the lights in the tent were bright, a person sitting upright in the middle, with a helmet and a long feather, had already taken off and threw it on the side of him.

The long black hair is tied up at will to make a bun, the face of the national character is a little dark, probably because of many years of fighting at sea, the skin has also been damaged by the sea breeze, the slender eyes look very silent, and there is a short beard under the lips that symbolizes the nobility of Luo, and a slight vicissitudes of wrinkles appear between the eyebrows at the end of the eyes.

After being recommended by the owner of the island, this person is indeed Saigo Longgu.

I remember that when I was in Shin-Vietnam, I read that my father had collected a lot of information about the secret of the assassination of his grandfather and mother's boudoir, and when General Bian mentioned this Saigo Takaku, he said that he was "upright, strong, strict, and loved to collect military flags, loved singing and dancing, was good at rewarding, and had the means, and was the best among the daimyo under the curtain of General Toyokawa Yasuhide."

A few girls saluted slightly, and the warriors and I moved the Zhongxuan guqin and stools and chairs together, He Youyou and Lu Yiyi sat behind the qin and Xuan, respectively, and the rest stood in a semicircle.

In my opinion, they are all dressed with red lips, peony powder on their faces, their hair is pulled back, and their clothes are also the favorite Japanese skirts and clogs of Luo Wei women.

The first verse is a cappella singing, Shi Lingyun, Liu Mengmei, and Wenzi each sing a paragraph, and the sad tune of the national mourning is spread out gracefully in the tent.

“…… Loyal souls bury bones, and the king has a long trick, and there are years of war and national martyrdom,

It is difficult to cross the mountain, what do you want in this body, the soul returns, and you will never forget.

Biluo Yellow Spring, where the world meets, for the family and the country to bury the Quartet

Towering green mountains, return to the buried mountains, return to the soul, guard my relatives......"

The second section is the song of the willow flute, the stone Lingyun is transposed and chanted, and then the sound of the piano bell is exhausted, the sound is like a cracked silk, rolling soup soup, such as the water tune song head, the rock dragon chants, the river is full of eyes, and the formation is broken.

“…… The rivers are vast, the ocean is vast, and there are wars and the country is dead.

With the son, life and death will not be forgotten, the soul will return, and I will see my family.

The body is about to die, ten years of life and death, Sijun returns to the country and dies,

Magnificent and generous, the mountains and rivers are splendid, the soul returns, bury my son......"

At this point in the singing, looking at it coldly, Na Saigo is also the color of the rise of listening.

I breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if Huang Chun and Kong Lifei had already eliminated the Luo Wei warriors around them at this moment and went to pick up Wei Fu smoothly. I don't know if the three of them have succeeded in stealing Ishida's token, and they have left the city disguised as samurai, and whether they will go to meet Prince Ning and make peace with him.

I don't know if Prince Huining will create chaos in the city, and take the opportunity to attack the Xicheng armory, steal the remaining ordnance drawings, and burn the ordnance baggage and Luo Wei's food and salary.

At this time, the third verse has been sung, but the stone girl is humming, the willow girl is singing, and when I hear the girl turn the tune and sing, the sound of the three people seeps into my heart like three feather arrows, and I am also in tears.

“…… Born to be a hero, dead is also a ghost, drunk and lying on the battlefield without smiling,

The ancient long trick, the sound is unforgettable, the soul returns, and I tell my heart.

On the side of the uncertain bridge, the aftermath is lingering, and the family and country are like a dream,

Red blood is raging, thousands of miles of sad autumn, the soul returns, blood and tears poetry ......"

After singing a few verses in turn, and re-interpreting them in Luo Wei, the tent gradually fell silent, until Saigo Takaya got up to express his appreciation, and the rest of the people gave high-fives and appreciation.

If you want to start, this should be a critical juncture.

Xixiang Longgu gave wine and silver to everyone, and several girls received it with courtesy.

However, because Xixiang sent his deputy general to give it to the public, it was still far away, so he couldn't find a chance to start for a while.

Just when he was disappointed, he saw that Saigo's eyes kept fluttering on Xiong Luo'er, and his expression seemed to be quite intentional.

I am secretly confused by Luo Wei's aesthetics, you must know that whether it is Xinyue or Beiming, there are Shi Lingyun, Liu Mengmei, Wenzi and other women who are on the side, who will pay attention to Xiong Luoer, who is young and has not yet grown up, and is closer to girls than women?

This is probably the legendary Lolicon.

But seeing that this was the only chance now, I also looked at Xiong Luo'er.

I saw her flickering simple and clear big eyes, and suddenly looked at Xixiang with a smile on her delicate lips, two cute little tiger teeth and small dimples were exposed together, and she looked more and more innocent and unpretentious.

Saigo couldn't help laughing and said something to the people around him.

The deputy general beside him, whose eyes were like pools, directly told Shi Lingyun that he wanted to ask Xiong Luo'er to go.

Shi Lingyun refused, and attacked each other in Japanese for a few rounds.

Seeing that she was about to provoke the adjutant general to provoke, Xiong Luo'er suddenly opened her mouth, and from her expression, I understood that what she said should be that she was willing to stay and serve General Saigo.

Although Shi Lingyun was reluctant in every way, he could only pay thanks to the other girls and me to pay his thanks, and when he walked out of the Chinese military tent, Shi Lingyun pulled me and said:

"How is this good, how can she explain it to her father?" Then he lowered his voice and said, "Think of a way, Luo'er doesn't have any weapon poison in his hands."

The fingernails of several of us are wrapped in extremely small wax pills with poison, as long as the wax pills are punctured at that time, and then a little bit of blood is scraped out of the enemy's body, and the blood seals the throat, and dies with the enemy, but Luo'er does not have this in his hands. ”

I was taken aback, at this moment, a huge roar flashed like a whistling, and in an instant I saw the fire in the direction of the south gate, and I hurriedly said to Shi Lingyun:

"Quickly get rid of these samurai first," and then took advantage of the unpreparedness of the samurai next to him to slash his slash from behind, and easily locked the throat and broke the neck of the samurai on the right.

The girls also captured and killed the enemy, and when I saw the enemy in front and behind, I hurriedly tore the sword and arquebus from the dead warrior, stabbed him diagonally, turned over and jumped behind him.

The girls also grabbed their own weapons, and seeing that they were surrounded by all the Japanese warriors, I asked Shi Lingyun, "It's hard to get out at this moment, and surrender first, stay in the tent, and wait for the opportunity to assassinate Xixiang, can you make it?" ”

Shi Lingyun and I glanced at each other, cut off the head of a leader next to him, ripped off the ammonium nitrate burning on his body, and said, "How do you know that surrender will not be killed immediately, and there is still a chance to assassinate?" ”

I said, "When our army suddenly attacked, they did not know the situation, so they had to torture us and ask what they could do to kill us, and then they would have the opportunity to assassinate us." ”

As he spoke, there was another loud roar, as if to the west, and it seemed that the sailor had already begun to act.

While I was slashing and killing, I listened to her say, "Being tortured and humiliated will not only be certain to die later, but also inevitably endanger the overall situation, so it is better to fight." ”

Shi Lingyun shot away the two arrows and said, "It's not good, the crossbowman is here." They didn't dare to use firearms, after all, firearms were not accurate, they were prone to sudden explosions, and their technology was not yet mature.

They are afraid of hurting the people in the tent, but they can kill us with arrows, which is a mortal thing, and there is no way out, so we must take a few more thieves with them."

I said, "That's what the girl said, but our big business is still the assassination." According to the girl, we will fight hard to find a chance to assassinate, can Miss Shi have a good strategy to deal with this situation? ”

Shi Lingyun said, "No, it's just desperate." ”

I said, "Then I will give you a command, and I have a way to fight to rush into the tent and assassinate, and if I can't succeed, it is fate for me to wait for this journey."

When I finished speaking, I said loudly,

"The left hand is a sword, the right hand is a wolf, the wolf is assassinated, and the sword is cut.

If there is an enemy with an arquebus within nearly 50 paces, a wolf sword within 20 paces, and a Japanese knife within 10 paces, the crossbowmen will first be killed by detonating them with ammonium nitrate incendiary bombs to form a formation."

The words fell, the battle formation has been completed, Shi Lingyun and Liu Mengmei have been matched for many years, and they are full of tacit understanding.

Almost at the same time, Shi Yunling's left hand shot ammonium nitrate incendiary in the direction of the crossbowman, and Liu Mengmei directly exploded the arquebus incendiary bomb, and the explosion of the two phases intersected, and the two rows of crossbowmen in the vicinity fell backwards like broken kites, and the flames were all over for a while.

At this time, Shi Lingyun, Liu Mengmei, Wenzi, He Youyou, Lu Yiyi and I finally surrounded the formation, the fast knife was chaotic, the cold light was like a star, and the attack was divided into a combined attack, if it was one, the fierce battle and attack, the sound of the arquebus explosion was frequent, and the four sides were all bloody.

He was about to storm the tent, but he heard the sound of the willow flute in the tent, and then exclaimed chaos.

While I was fighting, I saw a few girls who heard the sound of the willow flute and the enemy's exclamation, and knew that I was afraid that Xiong Luo'er had already succeeded in the secret weapon of blowing thorns in the willow flute, but in order to avoid a plan, I had to be convinced of it for the first time, so I exchanged glances with Shi Lingyun, and the six people covered each other and rushed into the tent, and the generals in the tent immediately shot bows and arrows and flew over.

The blood in the tent was turbulent, and Saigo fell on a few tops, and the silver swaying short arrow on his neck was faintly green.

But there was no trace of Xiong Luo'er, only the faint breath of Na Xixiang, but he still commanded something.

Shi Lingyun used his sword to hit the arrows in four directions, and after a while, the arrow in his shoulder was already a bloody Japanese skirt, and he still said to everyone, "Saigo asked Tahara and Hayakawa to go to the south gate in front to defend against the enemy, and Kosuke went to summon the sailor to intercept and kill all the enemies at the west gate, and the deputy general Iematsu stayed to deal with us."

If he dies, let everyone listen to Sakamoto Masachi's orders. This dead thief, dead and so much more prepared"

Seeing that the generals were about to pounce and come out, and the Luo Wei crossbowmen in the rear were about to launch again, Shi Lingyun and several girls suddenly exchanged glances, changed the battle formation, and stabbed out like a heavenly maiden.

I remembered what Miss Shi said just now about the poison of the fish in their fingernails, and I was about to say no, when I saw the delicate bodies falling like snowflakes, and then my heart was thrown, and the curtain ended in front of me, and I didn't know who was going to die.

When I woke up again, I saw that I was tied up in a tent.

The arrows in the back of the heart seemed to have been pulled out, and only the clothes were soaked with blood, and only two Japanese warriors were lying sideways next to them, with Japanese swords stuck in their chests.

And Xiong Luo'er in front of him untied the rope that tied me to me, and tied me under the belly of the horse that he brought him, and said to me as he wholeed:

"They only treated your injuries briefly, and they were going to keep you to avenge Saigo with a thousand knives, and also to hand over the affairs of the assassins to the above", seeing that she quickly took off the armor and sword and arrow of a samurai next to her and put it on her body.

I smiled weakly and said, "How can you take me?" You are the real Assassin. How did you get it, is it a flute and arrow? ”

She hummed, and during the conversation she had put on her armor, untied her belt, and smeared dirt and blood on her face.

"When I succeeded, you were rushing into the tent, making a mess everywhere, calling the lieutenant general of the military doctor collided with the general who was chasing the assassin, and the scout of the city gate who came to deliver the message and the samurai who went to give the order rushed together, and I luckily took advantage of the chaos to pierce the back of the tent and roll out, and hide under this precious horse, in your current position."

Saying that, he pulled it again to take a look and confirmed that I was indeed hidden under the horse's belly, Fang turned over and said on the horse, "Hao Jie Junji will be ordered to go to the West Gate to fight, Beiming will have a large army at the West Gate, let's just follow",

After that, he drove his horse out of the account and ran to follow the rear of the team all the way, surrounded by cavalry of the same color armor, more than a thousand people, presumably not all of them knew each other.

At the same time, Xiong Luo'er was proficient in Japanese language, and when the Luo Japanese army was in a hurry to fight, the Japanese warriors were very disciplined, and their age and figure were similar to my Beiming people, and they hurriedly followed all the way, but no one had much to say to Xiong Luo'er, so they went straight to the west gate.

When they got out of the city gate, they were getting closer and closer, and they had already seen the respective warships of Beiming and Luowei, and saw that the Beiming army had landed, and thousands of cavalry had gathered on the edge of the west gate.

Pushing mountain cannons, trebuchets and crossbow fire ballista battles soared into the sky, and in the fireworks, I saw the figure that was haunted by the most haunting dreams at this life-and-death juncture, and I thought I would never see it again-

The dark bright light soft armor on his body, the shining silver shadow soul chasing gun in his hand, and the horizontal knife are immediately sassy and heroic, but who else is not Qin Qing?

I was surging in my heart for a while, but the horse suddenly began to run in the direction of Qin Qing like crazy, I looked carefully, it turned out that Xiong Luo'er had stabbed a short blade on the horse's stock, and the horse ran wildly in pain.

Luo Er galloped wildly, and shouted to Qin Qing: "General Qin, Xiong Luo is here, please cover and answer" Before he finished speaking, the samurai of the Kosuke army behind had already discovered that something was wrong, and the arrows were fired in a volley like rain.
