Xu Jie heard what Yang Jisheng said, he was careful in his heart, and felt that this matter had a lot to do, and said: "To fight a war, even if it is only a nominal war, there must be a reliable army. For this reason, the old man planned to transfer 50,000 horses from the forbidden army of the Beijing Division as the governor's personal escort and bring them directly to the front line in Liaodong. First, with the momentum in the magnificent light, second, it can restrain the Datong border army, so that Wang Chonggu has some scruples and does not dare to do anything wrong, and third, it can also adjust the forbidden army, and insert a large number of our relevant personnel into it, so as to make a plan for them to make progress. It's a three-pronged solution. ”

Yang Jisheng pondered for a moment: "But it is by no means easy to draw 50,000 infantry cavalry from the incomplete Jingshi Forbidden Army. The prohibition army, which claims to have a quota of 800,000 people, actually exists only in the roster of paid according to name. No one has the kind of immortal ability to resurrect the dead, rejuvenate, and change into nothingness, and can turn the ghosts that exist in the roster, have not yet been written off, or have become old men with clear teeth, or have not been born by his grandmother at all, into a lively warrior and mobilize them into a large army. ”

At night, the city of Yizhou in eastern Liaodong.

Xia Mu stood on the city wall, holding his hands.

Behind him, the three hundred brocade guards knelt below, and the leader Luo Kedi's face was gloomy, looking at Xia Mu, who was looking at the starry sky and not speaking, he thought about it and said: "According to the spies we spilled, Wang Chonggu did drop a large number of border guards to come to the front line of Shanhaiguan, but it should not be here to support. ”

Xia Mu smiled coldly: "Wang Chonggu is on the same line as Yang Bo, as the governor of the three sides, he doesn't listen to my orders, this account will be settled sooner or later!" ”

When Luo Kedi heard this, he hurriedly took out a secret guard, and his face changed: "We found traces of that group of Japanese slave ninjas in the Northwest Mountain, there are hundreds of them, and those who come are not good!" ”

Hearing this, Xia Mu turned around suddenly, and with a wave of his hand, the three hundred brocade guards all dissipated into the night, only to see Xia Mu under the cold moon, revealing a pair of eyes full of cold light.

The rooster crows three watches, and the cold in Yiju City is aggravated.

Li Chengliang sat in the mansion, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, looked at Zu Chengxun and asked, "Uncle really said that the Japanese slaves were going to attack Yizhou City at night?" ”

Hearing this, Zu Chengxun nodded solemnly: "I didn't expect that these would-be slaves were actually coming for us!" ”

"Can you send more people?"

As soon as Li Rusong heard his father's question, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Father rest assured, my uncle has laid a net of heaven and earth." ”

In the middle of the night, the cold light of the cold moon finally tore through the layers of fog that shrouded the city of Uiju, and everything on the earth was clearly presented under the noses of the sneak attack soldiers under the city.

The clouds and mist gradually dissipated, and a large number of ninjas in the distance crushed a dark cloud, as if heavy waves were stretching into the sky, advancing layer by layer.

At this moment, I only heard the sound of the bowstring thunderclap above the city tower in the distance, like a talisman that pierced the sky!

"Could it be that the plan has been discovered!" When Hattori Heiji saw it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly tilted his head back, and with a "whoosh", the sharp arrow swept past his right cheek, and the sharp arrow actually cut a deep scar on his cheek, and blood immediately came out!

"There are ambushes! Daming ambush! Hattori shouted hoarsely, "Immediately release the wolf smoke, and Kameda-kun behind the castle will give a signal!" The whole army immediately plunged into battle, and not a single one should be idle! ”

With his shout, the Japanese samurai poured out of the earthen forts and caves on both sides of Yiju City like a swarm of frightened wild bees, pounced on the passage under the city, and fought with the soldiers of the Ming "rattan army" who were quietly touching.

The sword meteor leading the army in front saw the Japanese soldiers "howling" like wild wolves and rushing straight up with their dancing knives, and raised the golden-backed machete in his hand unhurriedly, and made a gesture to set up a battle in formation.

In an instant, only a rustling sound was heard, and a swarthy seven-foot-high "iron wall" stood up, as if it had emerged from the depths of the ground, blocking the arrival of the Japanese soldiers.

Hattori Heiji, who rushed down to the city to supervise the battle, was stunned for a moment, and when he looked closely, he saw that this black and swarthy "iron wall" was like a living thing, lined up in a row, neatly, unpleasantly and unslowly, approaching the Japanese soldiers under his command!

"What kind of monster is this?" Hattori Heiji had no time to guess, he pointed forward with the sword in his hand and shouted, "Musket team! Shoot! ”

Hundreds of Japanese gunners stepped forward together, raised their arquebuses, and with a chaotic "crackling" sound, they burst into the "iron wall" that was approaching.

I only heard the sound of "ping pong", and those iron bullets shot at the iron wall, except for the sparks that burst out, there was no damage at all!

The Japanese gunners were stunned, and raised their arquebuses with all their hands and feet, and fired another random shot. However, the "iron wall" is still safe and sound, and it is still pushing forward at a uniform speed and force!

Just when the "iron wall" moved to about ten zhang away from the Japanese gunners, the "iron wall" suddenly stopped, and then beams of cold light flew out from both sides of the "iron wall" with a sharp wind, and came towards the Japanese army!

"Ugh!" "Ugh!" "Ugh!" A low snort sounded, and many Japanese soldiers either strangled their necks, or covered their chests, or hugged their lower abdomen, and fell down one after another! Their throats, hearts, and lower abdomen were pierced with a shining flying knife!

"Oh my God! What kind of army is this?! Hattori Heiji looked at this scene and was so shocked that he was about to blurt out!

He didn't know that this was the formation that Qi Jiguang specially left behind back then-the Fujian rattan army "Mandarin Duck Formation". With Yu Dawei's arrangement, dealing with these Japanese slaves is coming!

Just look at the moving low "iron walls", which are actually giant rattan cards that the Ming army foot soldiers put on their left wrists to protect themselves. This kind of rattan is as hard as iron and stone, invulnerable, and light and easy to carry, only more than ten pounds in weight. The arquebus bullets of the Japanese soldiers hit the rattan plaque, and they could not be damaged in the slightest.

The rattan sergeant held a giant rattan talisman in his left hand, but he held a long knife in his right hand, and there were eighteen flying knives at his waist. When they were fighting, they marched slowly in a neat line, and from a distance, they looked like an "iron wall" that moved on their own. At the same time, the Ming soldiers left a small hole on the rattan plaque to observe the situation ahead, and when they slowly moved to about ten zhang away from the enemy, they threw their flying knives to kill the enemy, and then slowly approached and picked up the flying knives, and then threw them again. If the enemy and us are in close combat, the rattan soldiers will use the long knives in their right hands to fight the enemy directly. This formation designed by Qi Jiguang integrated the advantages of various weapons such as attack and defense, knife and shield, long and short, and was one of the most effective formations in the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Japanese army at that time, which made the Japanese army timid for a while.

Hattori Heiji couldn't retreat at this moment, he raised his sword in both hands, and shouted: "All samurai, rush forward and fight." With his shout, the Japanese soldiers came back from their fright one by one, waved their swords and swords, desperately broke through the flying knife bushes, and ran to the front of the rattan cards and slashed violently!

The sound of "clanging" golden blades suddenly rang out, and the soldiers of the rattan army also waved their long knives in their right hands one after another, attacking the Japanese soldiers from behind the rattan cards! For a time, a tragic hand-to-hand battle between the two sides under the city began!

Knife Meteor brandished a golden-backed machete and came straight to Hattori Heiji: "His grandmother's, we are all waiting for you sons of bitches to raise!" ”

Hattori Heiji hurriedly ordered when he heard this, although the knife meteor didn't understand the Japanese language, but he just saw that this Japanese thief had been chattering there all the time, as if he was giving orders, so he expected that he was the chief general of the Japanese army, so he pushed the rattan card in his left hand away, and carried the gold-backed machete to kill Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji saw that this veteran of the Ming army was full of murderous face, and knew that he must be a fierce enemy, so he raised his spirits, raised his knife in both hands, jumped up, jumped into the air like a giant ape, "brushed", drew a cold light, and slashed down towards the knife meteor!

"Today's time for revenge has come!" The knife meteor also picked up the golden-backed machete, waved it as much as he could, and with the sound of wind and thunder, he went up!

"Dang" sounded, the sound was like a bell, and the Japanese knife in the hand of Hattori Heiji and the golden-backed machete in the hand of the knife meteor exchanged in mid-air, and suddenly the sparks burst out, shining so brightly that people couldn't open their eyes!

I saw that Hattori Heiji was shocked by the majestic strength of the knife meteor and rolled up, and flipped two somersaults in mid-air, only to make a "click" sound, and fell to the ground solidly!

The knife meteor was stained red with blood, shouted, and jumped up, the golden-backed machete in his hand carried gusts of wind and thunder, and with a "whoosh", he slashed down towards the door in front of him!

Hattori is full of liver and gall, well-planned, and there is no wind and grass, how can he be recognized by the Ming army! At this time, seeing the knife meteor killing, he hurriedly held the handle of the knife with his right hand, held the back of the knife with his left hand, raised the knife and tried his best to catch it! There was a loud bang of "dang" again, the two knives clashed, and sparks flew up.

Hattori Heiji only felt that his wrists were sore, and he couldn't support it anymore, and the Japanese knife he was holding in both hands was pressed down by the knife meteor and the gold-backed machete, and gradually reached half a foot above his forehead!

"Hurry up and save Hattori-sama!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the four or five Japanese soldiers standing on the side picked up their arquebuses together, aimed at the knife meteor and shot it in the chest!

"Bang bang" sounded a few times, and the knife meteor who was holding Hattori on an equal level only felt a pain in his right chest, knowing that he had been shot - but he didn't dodge, let alone retreat, gritted his teeth and tried his best to press the gold-backed machete down!

"Ahh A miserable cry sounded, and the golden-backed machete of the knife meteor "clicked", and suddenly cut off the Japanese knife held by Hattori Heiji in both hands from the middle - the golden-backed machete was still fierce, and it was about to go down, and it was a "bang", and the ninja who came to the rescue on the side of Hattori Heiji was cut in half from head to abdomen!
