The 667th turn to Haiyan
Li Cangxing nodded affirmatively: "It's true, General Qi, this time I didn't come back alone, I have gathered many friends from the past few years when I walked the rivers and lakes outside the Saiwai, all of them are good brothers who can be attached to life and death, this time I went back to the southeast, but also let the brothers disperse and sneak into various places, on the one hand, I began to establish some businesses or subdue some green forest cottages, as the basis for the establishment of the sect, on the other hand, I also secretly let people break into the Japanese and find out the intelligence of their robbery of coastal places. ”
Qi Jiguang frowned: "It's just that the widows are cunning and ferocious, I remember that Jinyiwei sent people to infiltrate Shuangyu Island many times, but they were unsuccessful, you can do it if you send people to break in temporarily?" ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "This time is different, on the one hand, in recent years, Yan Shifan has sent a lot of people to join the Japanese Bandits, as their guides to rob the coast, and after the death of Wang Zhi Xu Hai, the ability of these Wolves to counter reconnaissance is much worse, so many of my brothers forged the identities of Yan Shifan's subordinates and mixed into the Wolves, on the other hand, I also met some real Oriental friends, their language is the same as the Japanese people, and they will not arouse suspicion, and they can also have access to some more key secrets." ”
Qi Jiguang let out a sigh: "It seems that you gained a lot from your last visit to Shuangyu Island, and you can actually meet some Oriental friends, but the Japanese are cruel and ruthless, are you sure these people are credible?" ”
A look of resoluteness flashed in Li Cangxing's eyes, and he nodded: "At this point, I can guarantee with my life, and this person is not something I met when I went to Shuangyu Island, the last time the Japanese attacked Nanjing, this person had already been coerced by the Japanese invaders." I had a heart-to-heart relationship with this person before I joined Jinyiwei and became brothers. ”
Qi Jiguang smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that there are good people among these widows." ”
Li Cangxing sighed: "There are good people and bad people everywhere, among the Japanese countries. In fact, the civilians of the Japanese people are similar to the people of our Ming Dynasty, most of them are honest countrymen, but because of the war of the Japanese country for many years, the fierce and vicious people have nowhere to go after the defeat, so they have to take risks. The road of going to the sea to be a thief, coupled with the collusion with the traitors along the coast of our Ming Dynasty, became a widow. However, these Japanese are not representative of ordinary Japanese people, and my friend is a martial artist who is obsessed with martial arts, and he was deceived into getting on the thief ship. ”
Qi Jiguang nodded: "I also know a little about the situation inside the Wa Kingdom. It's just these Japanese people who went to the sea to make a fuss. is the most fierce and cruel among them, the wolf, if your friend is a good person, I am afraid that he will be incompatible with them, and there will be a risk of exposure. ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "General Qi is too worried, my friend is also wise and brave, thoughtful, and I taught him the disguise technique." He can hide his true colors, and he won't be exposed so easily. These days, he has always sent me news, based on the news from other people who have mixed into the camp of the Japanese Invaders, there will be no mistake, more than a dozen groups of Japanese Bandits in the coastal area of Zhejiang have converged, and they are ready to attack the Haiyan area in the north with suspicious troops first, transfer the main force of General Qi, and then their large army will go straight to this Taizhou City. ”
Qi Jiguang sneered: "Haiyan is just a small county town with only a few hundred households, and the Japanese will not have any oil and water there, but this Taizhou is an important town in eastern Zhejiang, and the business is developed. ”
Li Cangxing said: "I have made arrangements, more than 1,000 of my brothers will hide near Haiyan, and Governor Hu has allocated us military uniforms and weapons, and then my people will pretend to be your main force and raise the banner of Qi's army. ”
Qi Jiguang laughed and patted Li Cangxing's shoulder: "Then when the Japanese brigade comes to Taizhou, we will attack with the main force and break the enemy soldiers, right?" ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "General Qi, now there are more than 5,000 people in your department, but there are more than 20,000 Japanese invaders who came back to attack, and I heard that Mao Haifeng, who escaped in Cen Harbor, led the team, among them, the number of real widows, that is, those ronins and samurai, is also more than 8,000, can your troops withstand it?" ”
Qi Jiguang nodded confidently: "Sky Wolf, you have also seen this mandarin duck formation under my subordinates, what do you think of the victory or defeat against those Japanese warriors and ronin?" ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "This formation is really good, especially the wolf sword, which can effectively defend against the katana of the Japanese Kou, if you fight head-on, three thousand people can defeat the other party's five or six thousand people, this time the Japanese are divided into more than a dozen forces of different sizes, separate robbery, and the troops will also be scattered, but General Qi may have to work a little harder and run around." ”
Qi Jiguang pondered for a moment: "Heavenly Wolf, I don't plan to use other troops this time, just rely on the five thousand people in my headquarters." Moreover, my wife is now in Xinhe City, which is an important gateway to the north of Taizhou, and where the Japanese will almost certainly land, and I have assigned 500 men to help defend it, and Haiyan will have to trouble you to take care of it. ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "I also have this intention, your army is absolutely credible, but in other troops, it is likely that there are Yan Shifan's eyes and ears, the purpose of this battle is to ensure that after a battle, it can completely annihilate or severely damage the bandits in Zhejiang, so secrecy is the first, but in this way, we need to fight quickly and fight continuously, but I am afraid that the soldiers will have to suffer a little more." ”
Qi Jiguang smiled and waved his hand: "It's hard to say anything else, is this hard, I asked myself if the Yiwu soldiers would not be worse than anyone." Heavenly wolf, without further ado, you hurry to Ninghai, and once you have repelled the Japanese in Haiyan, you will quickly move closer to Xinhe, and after pacifying Xinhe, you will come to Taizhou to join me. Oh, by the way, that head Mao Haifeng, how many people did you bring this time, and from which direction did you attack? ”
Li Cangxing's eyes flashed with coldness: "Mao Haifeng is the main force of the Japanese Invaders along the way, and most of his subordinates are the diehards of Wang Zhi's subordinates in the past. Zhejiang is more than half pacified. ”
Qi Jiguang sighed: "In the battle of Cen Gang back then, the fierce and good fighting of the thieves under Mao Haifeng was something I had never seen in my life. It is still vivid, Sky Wolf, most of these people are martial arts masters, not ordinary Japanese swordsmen, I am afraid that in the end, you will need your martial arts people to solve this stubborn bandit. ”
Li Cangxing's eyes flashed with murder: "My dragon slaying knife is already hungry and thirsty. ”
Ten days later, in a mountain forest outside Haiyan City. More than 1,000 martial arts people dressed in earthy yellow costumes and masked in yellow scarves lurked in the mountains and forests. It was winter, the grass and trees had withered, and the mountain was also a piece of yellow earth, and these Jianghu men lurked on this half-bald barren mountain. It looks like it's the same as heaven and earth. Looking from afar, you would never have expected such an ambush on this mountain.
Li Cangxing also changed into an earthy yellow suit, crouched in the front, a pair of blazing tiger eyes staring at the sea ten miles away, and his heart was the same as the sea water, constantly rising and falling, after all, this was the first battle he led the troops independently, although all the information showed it. Today, about 2,000 Japanese will land here, but since the day before yesterday. He cut off contact with Yanagi Xiongba, who was mixed into the Japanese Bandits, and now the brothers who infiltrated the Japanese Bandit formation have returned, only this Yanagi Xiongba still has no news, which can't help but make Li Cangxing's heart beat the drum.
Qian Guanglai was lying beside Li Cangxing, suddenly smiled slightly, pulled down the yellow face towel on his face, and on a fat face with meat, the fat shook and shook: "Cangxing, why are you a little nervous today, this is not like you at all." Still worried about Yanagi? ”
Li Cangxing nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's already noon, and I can't see the warships of the Japanese Invaders, so I really can't rest assured." ”
Qian Guanglai grinned: "Don't be afraid, we all know Liu Sheng's ability, everyone else has returned, he can't be trapped inside, he must want to be able to cooperate with the outside when the widow lands." ”
Pei Wenyuan on the side also opened his mouth: "Cangxing, if the Japanese don't come here today, but turn to plunder elsewhere, what should we do?" ”
Li Cangxing gritted his teeth: "When Shen arrives, if the Japanese don't come, we will give up here and move towards Xinhe City!" ”
Ouyang Ke frowned: "What if the Japanese invaders encountered a storm at sea and delayed time?" We're only waiting an hour, isn't that too short? ”
Li Cangxing shook his head: "The Japanese are very good at driving boats, they just calculated the time to transfer General Qi's army to rescue, and they will never miss the time, the situation we received three days ago is that the current Japanese invaders have been assembled on the outer islands, and it only takes two hours to come over, and it will not be a mistake, if Shen Shi has not appeared, then there is only one possibility, that is, the Japanese have turned to attack elsewhere." ”
Tie Zhentian shook his head in disbelief: "Cangxing, will the Japanese invade elsewhere?" Can this plan be changed? Aren't they afraid of missing the big things of the Japanese in other places? ”
Bu Wei interjected: "Lao Tie, Cangxing told us a few days ago that these dozen or so pirates are fighting on their own, but because they are afraid of General Qi's strength, they reluctantly agree to form a single force, and they are intriguing with each other, and the pirates who are feinting here, watching others go to rob the rich Taizhou, but they have to work thankless here, can they be happy, in my opinion, they turn to attack other places, it is normal." ”
Li Cangxing smiled and shook his head: "I don't think so, this time the commander-in-chief of the Japanese is Mao Haifeng, most of the Japanese in Zhejiang are the original Wang Zhi's subordinates, Mao Haifeng, as Wang Zhi's adopted son, is fierce, and the first battle of Cen Gang made a reputation again, this group of Japanese who feint to attack Haiyan should not dare to disobey his orders and attack elsewhere, everyone be patient and wait, I think they will appear soon." ”
Before Li Cangxing's words fell, Qian Guanglai suddenly laughed: "Look, the ship of the Japanese is coming!" ”
Everyone looked towards the distant overseas in unison, only to see some light warships began to appear on the sea level, first the mast, then the deck, and finally the hull, emerging from the mist on the sea, a cursory look, there were as many as two or three hundred, and Li Cangxing's eyesight was outstanding, and he could see it really, on the deck of those ships, there were all ronin samurai with shaved heads, waving katanas, and barefoot buns, all of them with dark skin and fierce eyes, and they were shouting loudly.
Pei Wenyuan said excitedly: "Cangxing, the Japanese are coming, what should we do now, are we ready to rush out?" ”
Li Cangxing shook his head: "No, we are still three or four miles away from Haiyan City now, and rushing over now will only make the Japanese Kou vigilant." They are very cunning, this feint is supposed to attract General Qi's troops, if we show up too soon. Then they will definitely escape back to the ship, remember, our purpose this time is not only to repel the Japanese invaders, but to wipe out as much as possible, more than 2,000 Japanese invaders, we must find a way to wipe them out, so we have to let them enter Haiyan City. Let's strike again. ”
Qian Guanglai nodded: "Cangxing, all the people in the city have withdrawn, and only more than three hundred beggar disciples I brought are still in the city." Disguised as ordinary people, after the pirates entered the city, I asked them to pretend to be panicked and run away, so that the pirates would not be suspicious. ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "Fatty." Then it's hard for you. ”
Qian Guanglai laughed. Standing upright, the fat figure moved, and ran towards the city in the distance like lightning, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Li Cangxing turned his head to the others and said, "Everyone go and lead their respective subordinates, watch my gestures and actions, I will rush down the mountain as soon as I raise the flag, so that not a single widow will slip through the net!" ”
After the hour of the small half-pillar incense. More than 200 warships of the Japanese had reached the shore, on top of a large ship behind them. The leader of the Japanese Bandits, the famous bandit Ito Kogoro from Kyushu, dressed in beautiful bamboo armor, painted in various colors, wearing a bronze ghost mask, stood proudly at the bow of the ship, looking at this small county town by the sea, the city gate was wide open, the Ming army flag at the head of the city was put down early, and the city was full of crying fathers and mothers, and people shouting donkeys.
On the beach, hundreds of Japanese pirates had just jumped off their sea boats, and they were now in a chaotic formation, while more than 100 boats of the main force of the Japanese were still three miles from the shore, and they had dropped anchor one after another, watching and watching.
Ito Kogoro's side, a sharp-beaked monkey gills, with two rat whiskers, silk cloth scarves, looked like a dog-headed military division of the thin man sneered, and said: "Ito-san, why don't you all land in one go, now Qi Jiguang's troops haven't arrived yet, we can just grab it and leave." ”
Ito Kogoro touched the Rendan beard on his lips, and smiled: "Liu Ye, is there really no problem with your intelligence, since Qi Jiguang's troops have received the information and rushed here, why haven't they seen anyone yet?" Could it be an ambush? ”
The thin man named Liu Ye shook his head: "Yi Dongsang, look at that Haiyan City, the soldiers have already fled, and even the city gate is wide open, and there are fleeing people at the west gate from time to time, obviously Qi Jiguang's troops are still far away, otherwise they would have held out for a while." ”
Kogoro Ito's eyes blinked, "What do you mean?" ”
A sinister smile flashed on Liu Ye's face: "Yi Dongsan, although we are a feint this time, but the feint attack should also have the appearance of a feint, just send people to the beach to take a turn, Qi Jiguang's people have not yet come, we will withdraw, that will not have the effect of delaying, I am afraid that it will miss the other leaders of the southern attack on Taizhou." ”
Ito Kogoro snorted coldly: "Other leaders? If I fall into Qi Jiguang's ambush here, and my subordinates die seventy-seven or eighty-eight, will these leaders compensate me for my losses? ”
Liu Ye's mustache jumped, and then smiled: "Yi Dongsan, don't you still haven't seen Qi Jiguang's soldiers, when they come, it's not too late to withdraw." ”
Ito Kogoro pointed to the beach in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Have you seen it, there is not even a port here, the water is very shallow, in case there is really an ambush of Qi Jiguang, then our ships are stranded on the beach, and it is difficult to run, so I first let a few hundred people from the front army go in to explore the reality, if there is no problem, and then the team will follow up, hum, mosquito legs are also meat, there are hundreds of families in this Haiyan City, although there is nothing valuable, but to snatch these people and sell them to the Shimazu Domain, it is also worth the trip." ”
Liu Ye raised his thumbs up: "Ito-san is really smart, Mao Ye really chose the right person for you to come here." ”
Ito Kogoro smiled proudly: "After so many years of running at sea with Lord Wang, I still have this ability, by the way, the benefits of the 50,000 taels of silver promised by your little pavilion elder can't help but admit it." ”
Liu Ye nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, it's indispensable." ”
While the two were talking, the Japanese on the beach had already completed the whole team, and the anxious Japanese robbers did not wait for Ito Kogoro's order, and rushed to the east gate of Haiyan City like a swarm, Ito Kogoro stared intently at the city in the distance, and his hand also nervously grasped the guardrail of the ship, after a while, the city was on fire, but there was no sound of swords fighting, and a large number of people who looked like people were desperately fleeing from the west gate, pushing carts, helping the old and the young, mixed in the middle of this gang of people dressed in tatters, A fat man dressed in satin, looking like a gentleman, surrounded by five or six guards, stood out in particular eye-catching.
Ito Kogoro laughed: "There are no ambushes in the city, it is safe here, brothers, listen to my orders, all the boats will dock at the high tide, and follow me to intercept those fleeing people, whoever catches people, he will share seventy percent of the money from selling slaves!" ”
The Japanese on the ship had been waiting for this order for a long time, and as soon as they heard Ito Kogoro's order, they all scrambled to start rocking their oars, and they didn't bother to get down to the boat and row ashore, and more than a hundred warships ran aground on the beach in such a chaotic manner, and Ito Kogoro was the first to jump off the boat and rushed towards the people who were running towards the back mountain.
