Qiu Yizhi was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Wakou? How many pirates can Yin Tai's men have now? ”

Wu Changxi thought for a while: "It's hard to say. When I left Mingzhou, there would probably be one or two thousand Japanese in the city, and there must have been five or six hundred real Japanese in it. As for now...... Some came and some left, I don't know how many there are now, but the number of people is always around here. ”

Qiu Yizhi was relieved when he heard this, and he calculated: With the two hundred and eighteen elite soldiers under his command alone, plus Wei Chi Jiming, he can fight against more than 500 Japanese robbers; Although Wu Changxi's men and horses are not as elite as his own, they can still have a draw with the Japanese and deal with five or six hundred people - in this way, as long as the power of the crossbow machine he carries is exerted to deal with these more than 1,000 Japanese robbers, the odds of victory are still quite large.

So Qiu Yizhi discussed with Wu Changxi again, feeling that after all, his troops were less than his opponents, and if he divided his troops to attack, it would obviously be weaker, and the best way would undoubtedly be to take the key points directly, and first capture or kill Yin Chengliang and Yin Tai, the father and son of the first evil culprit.

However, when I asked Wu Changxi, I learned that the two fathers and sons did not live in the city, but lived on a sea boat, and they would not go ashore easily.

But this is also easy to do, Qiu Yizhi and Wu Changxi decided not to go to the city to sweep, looking for Yin Chengliang and Yin Tai everywhere, but to lead the army from the central avenue of Mingzhou City straight over, all the way to the direction of the port - as long as the port is taken down, then even if these two people cannot be captured alive, at least they can be driven out - in this way, the dragons in Mingzhou City have no leader, and they can be taken down logically.

So Qiu Yizhi and Wu Changxi did not hesitate, ordered their soldiers and horses, and led the army led by Wu Changxi, who was familiar with the topography of Mingzhou streets, to lead the way, and then after Qiu Yizhi's department was cut off, they went straight to the direction of Mingzhou Port.

The history of the construction of Mingzhou City is very short, it is a port city that first has a trade port of Mingzhou, and then the merchants gather to form a seaport city. Therefore, this Mingzhou city does not have the same tall walls as other cities, and only has a cofferdam on the periphery of the harbor. Therefore, Qiu Yizhi and Wu Changxi were not hindered at all, and easily entered the city of Mingzhou along the street.

Qiu Yizhi had also been to Mingzhou once before, but that time he came to thoroughly investigate the case of the Tianzun Sect's false altar master, and later there was another bloody battle with the Japanese Kou. When I came here today, I actually fought with Yin Chengliang's father and son, and the opponents in my life had all met in Mingzhou City, which can be described as my own blessed place.

Therefore, when one of Qiu Yi entered the city of Mingzhou, he cheered up his spirit, rode on the back of the sweaty and bloody horse that traveled thousands of miles a day, and did not dare to raise the whip and gallop, but cautiously followed behind the team and marched towards the dock.

But Wu Changxi is revisiting the old place, and he wants to take this city that was originally guarded by himself as the general of the defeated army. Therefore, it was the time for him to be proud of the spring breeze, and his feet seemed to be full of strength, and he was rushing through the city occupied by the enemy army in danger, not only did he not have the slightest hint of timidity, but he actually had a faint smile on his face.

But when he saw a sentry flashing in front of him, there were more than 100 people in total, blocking the street, and the first general stretched out his hand to stop him: "Where are the people?" Galloping freely in Mingzhou City, aren't you afraid that Lord Yin will be guilty? ”

It turned out that this general saw that Wu Changxi's soldiers were still wearing the uniforms of Jiangnan Provincial officials, so he thought that the defenders in the city were violating military discipline and running around in the city, so he spoke out to stop it.

Unexpectedly, Wu Changxi scolded: "I'm afraid of a fart!" Lao Tzu is here to get Yin Chengliang! Acquaintances, get out of the way! ”

The general didn't recognize his face until Wu Changxi ran closer, and stammered, "Wu Changxi, you ...... Why are you back again? ”

Wu Changxi didn't answer, and said to himself: "Since you recognize me, don't give me a quick dodge!" As he spoke, his pace did not slow down in the slightest.

How could that general get out of the way because Wu Changxi didn't take a word lightly or seriously? He hurriedly ordered his soldiers to draw out the treasure knife in their hands and prepare for battle, and they were about to fight Wu Changxi head-on, but he roared in his mouth: "Wu Changxi, for the sake of the past, you go back now, I won't chase you!" ”

Wu Changxi sneered, pushed forward the spear he was carrying, and stabbed the general in the chest. The general quickly crossed the saber in his hand, trying to block it. Unexpectedly, Wu Changxi suddenly changed his move, picked the head of the gun vertically, and hit the saber.

Wu Changxi was determined to take it, and this move used a lot of strength, coupled with the momentum of running quickly, and actually picked up the saber in the hand of the member and flew far away.

The man had no blade in his hand to rely on, and he was about to be stabbed to death by Wu Changxi on the spot, but he heard Wu Changxi shout: "If you don't want to die, hide away from Lao Tzu!" ”

Of course, the military general didn't want to die, so he hurriedly jumped to the side and flashed to the side of the road. Eager to win, he moved too much, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. It just so happened that someone put a dung bucket on the side of the road, and he knocked the dung bucket down, and a dog gnawed mud and fell into the feces and urine all over the ground, smelling all over his body, and he was no longer embarrassed.

The vote that came to block Wu Changxi, seeing that the main general only looked at each other - or under the condition of the opponent's mercy - was defeated so simply, he had long lost the courage to confront the enemy, and involuntarily moved out of the way, allowing Wu Changxi, Qiu Yizhi and others to continue to run forward.

Mingzhou's defense was not lax, and along the way, Qiu Yi's headquarters also encountered no less than ten troops. However, these people were either scolded by Wu Changxi and quickly retracted, or they scattered like birds and beasts with a slight attack - Qiu Yizhi and the others did not waste any effort, and they had already come to the cofferdam of Mingzhou Port.

Qiu Yizhi sat on the tall horse, but saw that the people in the cofferdam had already gotten the news, and many people gradually gathered at the entrance. Although these people are not wearing the clothes and armor of Han officers and soldiers, they are not strangers in Qiu Yi's eyes - they are the Japanese recruited by Yin Tai and Yin Chengliang!

In fact, Qiu Yi was very sure of defeating these Japanese invaders, but after all, he knew that the Japanese were quite strong in combat, and he was alone in the depths, in case the Japanese invaders fought a scorching draw, then the reinforcements would gather from all directions to besiege him. At that time, it will be difficult to win or a trivial matter, and I am afraid that I will be trapped in the midst of thousands of armies and it will be difficult to get out.

Therefore, Qiu Yizhi was very nervous, personally pressed the formation, asked his sergeants to line up, took out the Western Regions treasure knife at his waist, and pointed forward: "Give me a salvo at the entrance of the cofferdam!" ”

Seventy of his crossbowmen obeyed the order, and quickly pulled the trigger of the crossbow in their hands, and one after another the crossbow bolts flew towards the Japanese who had gathered at the entrance of the cofferdam. The Japanese invaders lacked heavy armor and thick shields, and their formation was very tight and there were no gaps, and under the blow of such sharp crossbow arrows, as many as forty or fifty people were killed in the blink of an eye, and the formation suddenly became chaotic.

Qiu Yi was one of the struck a blow, and quickly ordered again: "'Iron Head Jiao', quickly lead me to rush to the dock!" ”

"Iron Head Jiao" received the order, and immediately whipped the buttocks of the Bohai horse he was riding under his crotch with a horsewhip, and the horse was in pain, and immediately spread its hooves and seemed to gallop forward. Seventeen of his own men similarly urged their horses forward.

Qiu Yizhi didn't dare to slack off here, but he was reluctant to whip his BMW, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, he also rushed out. Immediately followed by Wei Chi Jiming, who personally guarded Qiu Yizhi.

When the rest of the light and heavy infantry saw that the main general was dispatched, they also hurriedly followed the previous deployment, took a deep breath, and galloped away behind Qiu Yizhi's horse.

Before the Japanese on the opposite side could line up, dozens of their companions were swept down by a volley, and the morale of the army was already damaged, and suddenly they were rushed by more than a dozen elite cavalrymen, and without the slightest reaction, they instinctively let go of the entrance to the cofferdam, allowing these cavalry to break through their defenses.

Frightened, the Japanese raised their eyes and saw hundreds of their opponent's infantry, led by a young general, rushing towards their side. Although they had not read the art of war, they also knew that once they were broken through the defenses by these large numbers of infantry, coupled with the impact of the cavalry behind them, they would face the danger of being attacked by the enemy on their backs.

Therefore, although they did not have a unified command to raise points, they also instinctively moved closer to the gap that had been charged by the cavalry before, trying to block the opponent from the cofferdam.

Qiu Yizhi didn't expect the opponent to react so quickly, it was too late to restrain the horse under his crotch, and seeing that his beloved sweaty and bloody horse was about to crash into the Japanese knife that was stabbed straight forward, the horse jumped violently on all four hooves, and the whole horse rose into the air and leaped over the head of the Japanese Kou.

The military horses produced by the Japanese Kingdom are not as tall as ordinary soldiers, and when these Japanese people have ever seen such a mighty horse, they were stunned by this scene, and they even forgot to resist the enemy army in front of them.

Seeing this, Wei Chi Ji showed no mercy to his subordinates, and casually raised a copper coin with a thinned edge and threw it at the wolves. Since Wei Chi Jiming was defeated by the old aunt and grandmother of the Wei Chi family next to Wen Honghui, he has been practicing kung fu with all his heart. She is already extraordinary, and she has learned from the experience of the last miss, and her kung fu is improving day by day, and in just one year, she has reached the realm of being able to draw with her father Yu Chi Jiming.

Therefore, she threw out twenty or thirty copper coin darts, and the momentum was many times stronger than before, and she easily killed and injured the twenty or so Japanese in front of her, making the formation that the Japanese had finally gathered become extremely chaotic again.

Yu Chi Jiming took advantage of this chaos, and also broke through the cofferdam on his horse and came to Qiu Yizhi's side.

And the infantry behind him, who had heard Qiu Yizhi's strict order before, asked them to break through the enemy's defenses and rush to the dock when they saw the gap, and not to engage the enemy easily. Therefore, they shouted that the gap had been opened, so they did not hesitate, let alone fight against the Japanese invaders, and with the heavy shield used for the "Dangya Battalion" in their hands, they pushed and squeezed through the enemy's defense line and stood in the open space in front of the port of Mingzhou.

Qiu Yizhi, who had already come over, saw that all the troops had rushed into the cofferdam, and his heart was a little calm, and he ordered the soldiers to line up according to the terrain, while raising his eyes to observe the surrounding environment.

I saw that the port of Mingzhou was very busy and messy, and the shoreline of the wharf was densely packed with all kinds of sea boats, although it was night, but there were countless coolies next to the sea ships still constantly carrying bags of grain and rice from the ship, and the originally very spacious wharf was piled up.

Seeing such a scene, Qiu Yizhi admired Lin Shuhan, a talented man who can make good decisions, from his heart-he expected that there was really no difference, Zheng Yu really couldn't rely on the production of Jiangnan Province to feed an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000, but had to rely on grain and grass shipped from Lingnan Road to barely maintain his offensive.

And now that he has come to the port of Mingzhou, he is only one step away from being able to completely cut off the main artery supplying Zheng Yu's army!
