This stone mountain is already very majestic from a distance, and it is even more majestic and upright up close, the vertical height is more than 100 meters, like a sharp sword, it rises from the sky, there are cliffs on three sides, and only one side has a mountain road to lead.

The terrain is extremely steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Lian Zining didn't launch it just now for this reason, even if he killed these powerful people in the port, it would not be useless, as long as the Wudao clan made up his mind to defend the mountain city, the number of people on his side would be ten times more in vain.

The whole Hizen Stone Mountain is bare, not an inch of grass grows, the surface is a large area of white stone, the mountain road is rugged, but it is just a parallel of five people, both sides are high cliffs, it is really a terrain that is not open for a long time.

Like all mountain castles in Fuso, the Goto Castle on the hill is a huge temple-like structure with towering walls and a little cyan eaves in between.

Because of the terrain, the whole team was stretched very long, in front of which were more than ten samurai of the Goto clan opening the way, behind were Lian Zining four people in parallel, and in the back, there were more than a dozen samurai, and Lian Zining and the dragoons were separated intentionally or unintentionally. For them, the Wudao clan still has some scruples after all, but Lian Zining did not say anything again, just laughed and groaned, and talked and laughed with the people of Wudao Cunxuan all the way.

The wall of the mountain city of the Godao clan is more than ten meters high, tall and majestic, and the news has already been obtained, the gate is open, and dozens of servants are lined up to greet it, Godao Cunxuan stood at the door, and stretched out his hand to greet him with a smile: "Lord Lian, please!" ”

Lian Zining smiled, arched his hand to him, and strode forward.

The situation has changed dramatically!

Just as Lian Zining walked past Wudao Cunxuan, he suddenly twisted his body, and the saber in his hand came out of the sheath with a clatter, marking a snowy mark in the air. Then in the next moment, it was a hand that pulled Goto Cunxuan into his arms, and the horse chopping knife was already on his neck.

He had already observed when he was walking just now, and among the three of them, it was Goto Cunxuan's vague steps, obviously he didn't have kung fu in his body, and he really succeeded!

Everyone was stunned, but Goto Katsushige was the first to react, he stepped forward with an arrow, and the katana in his waist came out of the sheath, and it was slashed down towards Lian Zining.

Lian Zining blocked Goto Cunxuan in front of him, Goto Shengzhong's body twisted, pulled his hands back, and quickly put away the knife, but around like this, the extremely sharp blade also pulled out a bloody mouth on Goto Cunxuan's forehead, and blood seeped down from it.

"What? Shengzhongbi is old, do you want to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne? How dare you kill the governor? Lian Zining sneered, the knife in his hand suddenly tightened, and a bloody mark was cut on Godao Cunxuan's neck, he stared at those warriors, and shouted: "Everyone, all are not allowed to move!" ”

Those warriors originally saw that the family governor was being held hostage, and their instinct was to come to the rescue, but when Lian Zining drank like this, they were all fixed on the spot, looking at each other, but they didn't dare to move.

Goto Katsushige knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Goto Cunxuan again and again, and said repeatedly: "Subordinates should be damned, subordinates should be damned!" ”

On the contrary, Goto Cunxuan was very calm, waved his hand, and said softly: "Shengzhongbi is old, I don't blame you, let's get up first!" ”

He tilted his head to the side again and said to Lian Zining: "Lord Lian, is there any misunderstanding between us?" Please let go of the old man first, let's sit down and talk slowly. ”

Lian Zining smiled: "Lian Mou has always been a person who must repay him, and the governor of the suitable family drew a knife on the dock to face him, but he was very displeased!" ”

Hearing that this was the reason, Godao Cunxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and even the people around him were all relieved, and they were about to speak, but they heard Lian Zining shouting violently: "Release the arrow!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of breaking the air during the New Year's greetings, and dozens of thick crossbow arrows broke through the air, Goto Katsushige, Goto Qingchi, and more than 20 samurai around Lian Zining were all shot into a sieve by the dense crossbow arrows.

Poor Goto Katsushige and Goto clan ministers, how many people in Kyushu were terrified when they heard his name, but now they died so unjustly, the blood instantly stained the white stone square in front of the mountain castle, and those slaves screamed and ran into the mountain castle.

Just now, Lian Zining attracted everyone's attention, but the dragoons secretly loaded the divine arm crossbow, and Lian Zining's behavior just now was just to delay time, and the real purpose was to let the dragoons have time to shoot.

Seeing his son lying in a pool of blood and the old minister, Goto Cunxuan's eyes instantly split, and he roared: "The warriors of the Goto clan, don't care about me, rush up and kill all these Ming people!" ”

Lian Zining turned around suddenly, he blocked the gate of the mountain city of the Wudao clan at this time, and the saber in his hand gently scraped on the neck of Wudao Cunxuan, and immediately blood was dripping down, instantly dyeing his neck red, Lian Zining laughed coldly: "Everyone, this official heard that your Fusang lord humiliated the ministers to death, if the governor of the Wudao clan is killed, I am afraid that you will be martyred!" ”

Those warriors threw rat bogeys, helpless, Lian Zining's face changed, he could already hear it clearly, the sound of the soldiers in the mountain city was sonorous, obviously the soldiers inside were using it outside. With a wave of his hand, the dragoons mounted their horses in a detachment and poured into the doorway, setting up a line of defense facing inward.

The other half stayed put, staring at the samurai.

Shi Dazhu took out a signal canister from his bosom, lit the fuse, and a beautiful chrysanthemum-like pattern burst out in the sky.

This is the signal agreed in advance, and on the dock, Xiong Tingbi and other officers are waiting anxiously. At this time, in the direction of Hizen Stone Mountain in the distance, fireworks burst into flames, and when they saw the signal, everyone was nervous.

Xiong Tingbi said sharply: "Pass the order, everyone, march forward!" ”

"Yes!" The officers responded with a bang, and soon, the order was passed down layer by layer.

The third step army of the Thousand Households stayed in place to protect Cheng Yu and the others, and the First Thousand Households were under the leadership of Xiong Tingbi and killed the Wudao Clan Mountain City!

The surrounding merchants and people were dumbfounded when they saw all this, but they quickly reacted that these Ming people were going to attack the Wudao clan!

God, it's going to change!

Some knowledgeable people are more thoughtful in their hearts, and the Ming [***] team has also come a few times, but they are all escorting the caravans of those big officials, and they have always been satisfied with Fusang and disdainful, but why do they want to do it this time? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty wanted to conquer Fusang?

Seeing the rolling iron flowing towards Hizen Mountain City, Goto Cunxuan's face suddenly turned pale, and he screamed: "Lianchengbi, you actually want to usurp the foundation of my Tachibana family?" ”

Lian Zining snorted slightly: "Fusang is originally my Ming vassal country, and it has been occupied by you shrimp island barbarians for many years, how did it become yours?" This time, the official was ordered to come and get back his own things, what is usurpation? ”

Goto Cunxuan's eyes shot out of fierce hatred, but he was a bachelor, and shouted loudly: "He won't let me go, I now order you in the name of the Goto Governor, kill me, and then kill yourself all!" ”

"Yes, Governor!" The eyes of those warriors radiated a frenzied light, and they all knelt down and saluted to Goto Cungen.

Lian Zining shook his head, why are these Fusang people so dead-eyed?

The dragoons fired a volley without his orders, and immediately killed a number of these warriors, and there were only more than fifty people left.

These warriors suddenly didn't look at the dead around them, and they rushed towards Lian Zining with a whining and strange scream, and the dragoons immediately drew their swords and met them. Unexpectedly, these samurai are all elites of the Goto clan, who have been trained hard since they were children, and their martial arts are extremely strong. I saw them running for a while, and then there was a vertical jump, jumping three feet high, and the katana in his hand was slashed off with his head and face!

This kind of skill, the most feared is Wu Yijun's spear phalanx, because they can't jump into it at all. And at this time, the dragoons can only use swords to make a hard bar!

The dragoons didn't take them seriously and waved their knives to block, but they didn't expect that these dwarfs were extremely powerful, and the two knives intersected, and they actually felt that their arms were sore and numb, and they felt that they couldn't hold the knife!

After repelling these little dwarfs, they were even more shocked to find that the edge of the horse chopping knife made by the Ordnance Bureau of the Ming Dynasty Military Department had already jumped out of a few gaps the size of rice grains!

The weapons of these little dwarfs are so sharp and sophisticated!

After those samurai were repulsed, they jumped over again, they were all the elite of the Goto clan, and when it came to fighting in battle formations, the dragoons were far superior to them, but at the moment, this short-handed battle was quite inferior, coupled with the disadvantage of numbers, it turned out to be the left and right branches that were killed, and there was a decline.

"Everyone, retreat while fighting, retreat to the city gate!" Lian Zining said hello, and retreated to the cave of the city gate with the five islands Cunxuan.

The dragoons fought and retreated, and they also retreated.

At this time, a large number of samurai also appeared in the mountain castle, roaring, and killing the dragoons.

The sound of weapons kept ringing, and the two sides were already in battle.

In this way, the Fifty Dragoons and Lian Zining were blocked in this narrow city gate hole. Fortunately, the mountain city walls of the Goto clan are strong and heavy, and the city gate hole is seven or eight meters long, but it can still accommodate it.

Lian Zining came to the inside of the city gate cave with Wudao Cunxuan again, and shouted loudly: "Stop immediately, don't you want your family governor's surname?" ”

He was answered by a young woman's clear cry: "Do not stop, warriors, I forgive you for your crimes, my brother is dead, my father is in the hands of men, and now I am your governor." Listen to my orders and kill! ”

Only then did Lian Zining notice that behind those besieging warriors, under a huge flower tree in the square of the mountain city, a girl dressed in intricate gorgeous clothes was surrounded by more than a dozen young girls wearing European-style full-body armor and only revealing a delicate face.

She also looked here, and looked at Lian Zining with a glance, and actually showed a smile to Lian Zining.

Lian Zining felt that the smile seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.

Then the next moment, Qingxiu's face was full of hideousness, and suddenly on the side of her body, a black and heavy long arrow poked out behind her, and the long arrow shot over like a spark, Lian Zining secretly screamed that it was not good, this crossbow arrow was actually coming towards the five islands! He hurriedly dodged to the side, but after all, it was too late, and the crossbow arrow was fiercely nailed into Goto Cungen's shoulder!

Lian Zining hurriedly put him down to take a look, only to see that it was just such a moment, and Wudao Cunxuan's face was already covered with a layer of black gas.

Lian Zining twisted his brows, poisoned arrows! And it's a poisonous arrow that seals the throat with blood!

He raised his finger and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but his mouth only made a sound of drinking, and as soon as his body went limp, he collapsed to the ground.

He's dead.

The expression on his face was extremely complicated, there was resentment, relief, and disbelief, but after all, relief accounted for more.

The girl shouted, "Samurai, my brother and father are dead, and now I am the governor of the Goto clan, and now I command you, if you don't kill these Ming people within a quarter of an hour, you all go to Bodhita!" ”

At this time, a warrior stood up and shouted at her: "Princess Baiju, you actually killed the family governor? I just saw it clearly, you sent someone to shoot the crossbow arrow that killed the governor! ”

Goto Baiju's face flashed with green energy, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Talking nonsense, looking for death!" ”

As soon as a dead word came out, a crossbow bolt stretched out behind her, and it shot rapidly, and the next moment, the warrior was shot in the throat, and he died in a moment.

"This is what happens to the naysayers!" Goto Baiju raised his head high, his face full of arrogance: "Samurai, you are the dead soldiers of the Goto clan, your fate is linked to the Goto clan, if the Goto clan is strong, you will be rich and tyrannical, and if the Goto clan is down, you will become penniless pariahs!" I'm the only one left in the Goto clan's bloodline now! So, you have no choice but to be loyal to me! Download, I command a door, kill the enemy! Fight the enemy! ”

The samurai suddenly agreed, they were not blind, and naturally they could see that Goto Cunxuan's death seemed to be more strange, but at this time, who dared to question the words of the current family governor? Not to mention, what Goto Baiju said does make sense, everything about them is based on the Goto clan. And now that the Goto clan is only one Princess Goto Baiju left, there is indeed no choice but to be loyal to her.

Lian Zining looked at all this coldly, Wudao Baiju's surname was ruthless, and his attack was ruthless, which made him also frightened. killed her father with a woman, but her face did not change. He knew that the Goto clan had now fully adjusted, and the next thing was their fierce counterattack!

Fortunately, most of the samurai of the Goto clan were in a stalemate with the Tachibana family in Chikugo, and there were not many in the mountain castle, and as soon as their army arrived, it would immediately be devastating.

The problem is that the mountain city is five or six miles away from the port, and this distance, even if it is accelerated and rushed, it will take nearly a cup of tea for Xiong Tingbi to arrive. And whether this change of seizing the door can succeed depends on whether you can survive the time of a cup of tea.

Taking advantage of the chaotic time of the Goto clan just now, Lian Zining adjusted the formation, the city gate hole was only five or six meters wide, at this time, the silk that the two carts were going to give to Goto Cunxuan also came in handy, and the cart was pushed to the front, and immediately blocked a door hole solidly. Behind the cart, a space six feet wide was left, and it was enough for seven or eight people to resist in front of it, while the rest of the people were squatting behind to fill the five thunder god machines with gunpowder. The same goes for the outside-facing side.

The samurai of the Goto clan did not form a formation, and they slaughtered them in a chaotic manner, and the front of the cart was nearly a person high, and the top was even more tall for these dwarfs with an average height of less than one meter five, so they had to first hold the katana in their mouths, climb up with their hands and feet, and then jump down from it.

Since these Fuso warriors are accustomed to jumping and attacking, the jumping is very good, so Lian Zining specially set aside an open space of about two meters, just so that they could not jump into the crowd, so they had to face the dragoons' swords.

In this way, only about ten of the troops that these samurai could put into one surname could be killed, and in this way, they could pull the forces of Lian Zining and the Goto clan head-on, without having to face endless shocks.

More than a dozen samurai in front were fighting, and the samurai in the back were crowded in the car, but because they were all their own people below, they didn't dare to jump down, so they had to rush to the fire above, and there was no way.

The cart was also slowly dragged back by the things outside, but the position that Lian Zining chose was extremely tricky, and the two carts happened to be stuck in the city gate, and there was really no way to move for a while.

Lian Zining saw that there were enough warriors standing on the cart, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said sharply: "Let's go!" ”

The dragoons who had already loaded the Five Thunder God Machines suddenly stood up, raised the Five Thunder God Machines in their hands diagonally upward, and pointed at the warriors standing on the car, and the fire rope was already sneering.

How could these samurai not know the power of muskets? Immediately, they were all frightened and turned pale like dirt, although at this time Fusang was implementing the education of fools, and the samurai were loyal to the lord and did not hesitate to kill their lives, but they were also human beings, and they would be afraid, and they would tremble when they saw the musket.

Want to dodge, but how can you get there?

The crisp sound of gunfire instantly resounded throughout the city gate, and a dense storm of steel wrapped itself around the cart, and the screams of the Fuso warriors, the loud cursing, the soft popping sound of the human being bulleted, and the dull sound of the human body falling to the ground, resounded all together.

By the time the smoke cleared, the cart was empty, and only a pile of dead bodies remained. Blood flowed from the car, and the ground was covered with black and red plasma.

After this round of eight people finished shooting, they immediately hid behind and loaded their ammunition, and the other eight people made up for it and waited for it.

The samurai who rushed over, seeing that their companions had suffered heavy casualties, were already flustered, and their combat effectiveness was inevitably greatly reduced, but the dragoons were just the opposite, their morale was like a rainbow, and a counter-charge was to kill those samurai.

Lian Zining breathed a sigh of relief, this first wave of charges was finally blocked.
