Chapter 47: Hostage in Hand

The army of the ghost tiger was forced to the inner camp by the Ming army, and Lu Bing ordered to stop the pace of advance, because the 5,000 soldiers and horses newly recruited from Anlai had lost more than 1,000 people until now.

Qi Jingtong ordered the formation to be adjusted, and with the assistance of Yu Dayou and Li Du, the sergeants changed their formations, switched between attack and defense, and made way for the Ryukyu army to attack, while their own side was encircled. Building fortifications, fortifications, fortifications, ballistas and return cannons are not a problem for soldiers who have been trained for a long time, and they are enough to show the success of Yu Dayou and Li Du in leading the troops, they turned a group of reckless people who only knew how to rush and kill into soldiers who could really fight.

Ryukyu King Shang Zhen ordered a death attack, just now the Ming army fought so hard, he can't be ambiguous, otherwise it will make the Ming feel dissatisfied, but at this time Shang Zhen has a headache. It seems that the enemy army has been consumed a lot, and many Yonaguni Island thieves have been wounded, and their combat effectiveness seems to have weakened, but in fact, they are now all crazy like injured beasts.

The king of the Ryukyus, who had fought many times in his life, understood that this was the real battle to the death, and that the enemy army was forced to the point where there was no way out, and he would fight to the death with his opponent, and the soldiers would definitely fight the enemy bravely with the determination to die, and they would fight to the death with one enemy and ten. There are also retreating Ryukyu soldiers, who stubbornly resist and kill more bandits who earn one more, and this battle has not yet begun, and the level of morale is obvious.

Sure enough, the Ryukyu soldiers attacked several rounds and were repulsed by the thieves, with countless casualties, Shang Zhen came to Lu Bing with a sad face and said: "Honorable envoy, can you use artillery to bombard the enemy camp, and then send soldiers to strangle, I am afraid that if we continue like this, our casualties will be greater." ”

Lu Bing said coldly: "Your Majesty, according to my investigation, the hostages who are important to me are in the enemy camp, and if they are bombarded, I am afraid that the hostages will also be in danger, which is why at the beginning of the attack, only artillery fire was used to hit the enemy troops on the beach." ”

"What does the envoy think is the next step?" The King of the Ryukyus asked, and Lu Bing replied after a moment's thought: "Your Highness sent someone to negotiate with them, and then pointed out that it was my Ming who came to help in the war." You have been blocking this group of thieves for a long time, and I am afraid that they will not know the news that we are coming, so you ask to see the hostages of Daming after you point it out, and after ensuring the safety of the hostages, we will order the conditions to be negotiated. We try to solve the problem in a peaceful way, and if they are captured, then we will besiege them, and after a long time, they will have a gap in their own affairs, and they will only need to stir up a little stirring up when the time comes. Let the thieves come to their own nest to rebel, maybe those thieves will tie up Ghost Tiger and Sato to see us, Your Highness thinks so, okay? ”

"Honorable envoy Gaojian, I will send my uncle to negotiate, my uncle is in a very high position in the court, and his words are very weighty, and he will definitely attract the attention of the other party." Shang Zhen said, Lu Bing hesitated for a moment and then stopped talking: "There is King Lao, I will send a master to accompany me to protect it, and the king can rest assured that Uncle Zun will not be in danger." Lu Bing's slightly vague expression Shang Zhen didn't notice it in time.

"Thank you, thank you."

Lu Bing said suddenly: "I was sick a few days ago, and I was a little unwell after the fight just now, so I'll put on and rest first, and you can discuss everything with General Qi." ”

"Your Excellency needs me to pass on the doctor." Shang Zhen said with concern, Lu Bing waved his hand: "No, no, I'll just rest, the king's heart Lu has received." ”

Lu Bing said and walked towards the shore under the escort of the guards. Without further ado, the iron should be struck while it is hot, Shang Zhen immediately arranged a team to negotiate, demanding that only one hand over the ghost tiger to quell the rebellion, and the others would not be blamed for the past. And Shang Zhen also promised the ghost tiger in the conditions that he would never harm the lives of the ghost tiger and his family, but just imprison the ghost tiger, and his family treated each other with good food and drink, which could only be better than before, not worse than the status quo.

At the same time, as a condition for the withdrawal of the Ming army, that is, to return the hostages. Such negotiations required eloquent men, so Shang Zhen organized his own civil servants who could speak eloquently and military attachΓ©s who could intimidate by force, as well as his own uncle, who represented the power and dignity. After the group was formed, Shang Zhen personally wrote a letter and asked them to hand it over to the ghost tiger, hoping to get a letter of surrender from the rebels.

Qi Jingtong excluded more than 50 people to escort the negotiation team into the enemy camp, and it was really strange that these guards were all masked, but Qi Jingtong explained that some of the masters inside were afraid that the other party would know about the Japanese bandits, which would be detrimental to the negotiations. Shang Zhen was skeptical, always feeling a little strange, but he didn't know where there was a problem with Lu Dao, so he could only let it go.

The group of men and horses waving white flags, shouting and running towards the hinterland of the enemy camp, after a stick of incense, they were intercepted by the enemy, indicating that the enemy army went back to report, and after half an hour they were arranged in an empty village, and saw the legendary ghost tiger before the big tent.

Ghost Tiger refused to surrender, and declared that if the Ming army did not retreat, then he would kill the hostages. Naturally, the representatives of the Ryukyu side wanted to see the hostages, but the Ryukyu envoys were reasonable and their attitudes were very tough, and they declared that if they were not allowed to see them, then who knew if the hostages were still alive, and the white wolf with empty gloves could not be tricked casually.

The ghost tiger had no choice but to let people escort out Xia Dade and the others, Xia Dade was pressed out in a rough voice, he was very depressed, but when he looked closely, he found something strange.

According to Xia Dade's current image, he should have been tortured, but at this time he was still so stout, and he seemed to be a little fatter than before he was captured. The Ryukyu envoys were not reconciled, and asked the military attache to conduct a military analysis and explanation, and the military envoys strongly requested that they see all the hostages, otherwise in an hour, the coalition forces would launch a general attack on the most rearly positions of the Onihu, and there would be no chickens and dogs left behind.

Ghost Tiger had no choice but to order people to press out Shen Yew and Xiangyun, as well as Yang Feiyan, Xu Jinbao and others, except for Shen Yew, the rest of the people did not have Xia Dade's acting skills. I saw that the four of them were very different, Shen Yeshan's posture did not change, her complexion was not bad, and there was no problem with her mental head, at this time she was dressed like a daughter, and there was a little dust on her body, which was also caused by the dust of the surrounding battlefield. Shen Yew's true colors appeared, which immediately made the envoys of the Ryukyu Kingdom exclaim, this woman's national color Tianxiang has a kind of wisdom in her eyes, no wonder Lu Bing wants to raise troops to come, it seems that he is angry, but it is worth doing such a thing for such a beautiful woman.

Besides, Xiangyun didn't suffer anything, and her belly was slightly bulging, as if she was pregnant, the rope on her body was left on her body widely, and she didn't tie it up hard at first glance, and there was no trace of fear in her eyes, she was clearly acting. But Yang Feiyan was really tied, her hair was a little messy, although she didn't have yellow muscles and thin muscles, she still looked a little haggard mentally.

The worst thing is Xu Jinbao, the former Dali Temple of the Ming Dynasty has lost weight at the moment, the whole person is only skin and bones, as if a gust of wind can blow down, the eyes are black and the cheeks are sunken, if you don't treat it in time, I'm afraid it will be a short time. Xu Jinbao was carried out by two people, but others looked like the two people were holding a skeleton, in short, it was very terrifying. When he looks like this, he naturally can't move, so he doesn't even tie up.

One of the people next to the ghost tiger said at this time: "You have seen enough, then let them go down, you go back and describe their appearance to the Ming army, let the Ming army generals come up with a decision as soon as possible, just say that one of these people is surnamed Shen and the other is Lu Bing's old lover, and there is Lu Bing's second brother and second sister-in-law, who Lu Bing is The general over there should know that if something happens to these people, the capital will not bypass him." ”

Obviously, they didn't know that the general of the Ming army on the opposite side of the road was Lu Bing, even if there was a big Lu character written on the handsome flag, no one thought that Lu Bing, who had been picked with tendons, could stand up again, and he could also order soldiers and horses to come to take revenge and rescue the hostages. Lu Bing had been preparing for such a long time to repair the ship, but they didn't know the situation, and they could only blame the ghosts and tigers for not paying attention to the collection of intelligence.

The Ryukyu envoy didn't break it, for fear of making the thieves even worse and adding any excessive conditions, so they said that their bottom line was to withdraw and open the encirclement, but whether this matter could succeed still needs to be made after returning to make all plans. The ghost tiger ordered people to send off the guests, and the Ryukyu envoys turned to leave, but saw that the guards sent by the Ming Dynasty stood in place and refused to move, and the guards of the ghost tiger came to push and shove, but the white knife went in and the red knife came out, and the heart was pierced, and there was silence in front of the camp.

"Do it." One of the Ming guards shouted, Xia Dade's eyes lit up and then looked at the person, the Ming guards fought hard, three of them had the most superb martial arts, and the rest were not outstanding but they also complemented each other, using formations and strong physique and well-trained stabbing and slashing, constantly killing and injuring the enemy.

The ghost tiger was escorted down by the guards, and suddenly only a knock sounded, and a person ran over, holding a giant axe and slashing at the three Ming soldiers with outstanding martial arts. Xia Dade suddenly broke free of the rope on his body, rushed forward, and held the two pairs of giant axes that were about to be cut down with both hands, and roared: "General Xiang, Hugh wants to hurt my third brother." ”

Not only the rebels on the side of the ghost tiger, but even the envoys of the Ryukyus were very surprised, Xia Dade is Lu Bing's second brother, and isn't the third brother in Xia Dade's mouth Lu Bing? Sure enough, the man took off his mask, and it was Lu Bing, the chief officer of the bandits.

The ghost tiger's eyes lit up and ordered: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, and take Lu Bingfeng to compare with the vassal king." "Comparable to the king of the feudal domain, the king of the same level as the ghost tiger, how much power the ghost tiger has, how much power the person has, the ghost tiger is a small anti-thief and a small island owner, even if it is said that the thieves are not knowledgeable, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, in short, the group of thieves will take Lu Bing as soon as they rush up.

Needless to say, the two masters beside Lu Bing were Chao Yu and Zheng Mingchuan, the two stepped forward, Zheng Mingchuan broke the rope on Yang Feiyan's body, picked up Xu Jinbao and picked up Xiangyun and jumped back into the soldiers' formation, while Chao Sheng escorted Shen Yew back to the formation.

The guards of the Ming army blew the horn, and in an instant the army pulled out the camp and gathered towards Lu Bing's side, and the army marched forward quickly, although it received the pirates' hard resistance, but they were bound by military regulations, whether the enemy fell in front of them or their comrades fell, they were not allowed to affect the pace of advance.

Under this policy, the Ming army also faced the test of death, and there was no possibility of retreating, so the thieves were crushed at the touch of a button, and the army could not be formed.

The guards formed a formation with shields, and the crossbows on the slains were terrifying, but what frightened the thieves the most was a new type of firecracker. This kind of firearm is very short, but it can be fired continuously, or six salvos, and all that comes out is some iron sand, although it is far away and will not be fatal, but it can't withstand the large range of strikes, and the lethality is not small, so this artifact is invincible as soon as it comes out.

The Ming army guards relied on shields as cover, and fired with this kind of firearm at intervals, and it was difficult for the army of ghosts and tigers to approach for a while. Xia Dade had already jumped back into the formation at this time, and the elephant general, who was tall and unusual from ordinary people, also ran back into his formation.

Xia Dade came to Lu Bing's side in the formation, shook Lu Bing excitedly and said, "Third brother, it's great that you didn't die." Lu Bing smiled and said, "Second brother, if you want to shake me so hard again, I guess I'm not far from death." Xia Dade hurriedly let go of Lu Bing with a smirk, and then looked at Xiangyun with a little shyness, Lu Bing had already seen Xiangyun's belly, and arched his hand at this moment: "I've seen the second sister-in-law." ”
