Chapter 394: Test of War
When the Japanese fleet approached the sea near Tanggu Pier, a well-armed warship intercepted them and surrounded them in an encirclement manner. Before General Yamaguchi could react, a burst of indiscriminate bombing knocked him out. At this time, *not yet widely used in the military, this small* giant artillery battle caught the Japanese by surprise.
However, the fleet of the Japanese had a numerical advantage. After General Yamaguchi came to his senses, he led the fleet to break through the siege, and really asked him to open a gap and force his way out with nearly half of the ships. The other half of the ship was destroyed under the fire of the Ming battleship. Many of them fell into the water, like rats in a hot pot, scurrying around in a panic.
Another group of Japanese invaders, under the command of General Yamaguchi, landed not far from the port. See dozens of boats docked at the docks, and bags of goods unloaded from the ships. Shogun Yamaguchi didn't allow his men to take a breath, so he took thousands of remnants of the Japanese and surged towards the docks.
Sun's lieutenant, with a team of men and horses, lay in ambush near the port, and when the Japanese approached the dock, they fought with the men and horses of the house town and fought with the Japanese invaders.
The workers on the docks immediately panicked when they saw that the enemy was coming. Fortunately, Liuzi was calmer, and with a few left and right hands, he quickly calmed down the workers at the dock. However, there are still many workers who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are so frightened that they are colorless, and they only hate that their parents did not give him two more legs, and they fled without waiting for the six sons to come.
Liuzi naturally saw these people in his eyes and kept them in his heart, and there were many regular employees of the firm. He won't want someone like this who can only share happiness and not weal and woe! The workers at the dock are used to doing hard work, and everyone has a lot of strength. The Six Sons call on them to take up arms and protect their homeland!
Eighteen-year-old Yu Heizi, who has risen to 1.75 meters in height in recent years, is tanned and swarthy, and his fat body has long been transformed into a full body of muscles, and he is very bluffing when he goes to that station. This kid is like two people when he was a child, he is willing to work hard, and he is good at drilling, and he has been promoted to a small foreman by the sixth son, and he is paid one or two silver every month!
When the widow landed on the shore, he wanted to escape with the workers around him for a moment, but the sixth brother was staring not far away. Over the years, following the sixth brother, Yu Heizi slowly changed from a temporary worker to a regular worker, and was promoted to a small foreman with his own efforts. If you run away like this, won't everything you did before be wasted?
It's out!! Aren't there a lot of officers and soldiers on the dock? Although the Japanese have a certain advantage in numbers, they are in a convenient position, although he has not practiced, but he still has brute strength! The sixth brother did not evacuate, indicating that the situation at the dock is not so grim. No matter what, the wealth is in danger, fight for it!
He stood behind the sixth brother for the first time, took a wrist-thick stick in his hand, and looked nervously at the two parties fighting on the shore of the pier!
Liuzi gave Yu Heizi an approving look. At the beginning, letting this black fat man follow him was not without a reason to give Yu Xiaocao face. I thought that this little fat man would not be able to survive and leave. I didn't expect this guy to stick to it. Yu Heizi worked very hard and had a little tricks, so he promoted that guy to be a foreman. The team led by Yu Heizi was able to successfully complete the task every time and was praised by the guests many times. The sixth son treated him differently!
According to Liuzi's understanding of Yu Heizi, this person is not bold. He never expected that the first one to choose to trust him and stand by his side was actually this kid. Seeing the other workers taking up their arms in the same way and following him closely, although the total number of men was only sixty or seventy, the sixth son was very satisfied. In the face of danger, if they can stand up and support him, his six sons will definitely give them a good future!!
At this time, due to the gap in numbers, some Japanese began to break through the defense line of the Ming officers and soldiers and touched towards the shore. On the ships that did not have time to unload, there were also Japanese robbers who began to kill people and loot money.
Looking at the Japanese who came towards the dock, there were not many of them, only a dozen. The weapon in Liuzi's hand was a steel fork similar to a harpoon, and the tip of the fork shone with a cold light. He said to the nervous workers behind him, "Do you dare to join me to destroy these widows?!" ”
Although Yu Heizi was very nervous, he was the first to respond: "What don't you dare!" There are sixty or seventy of us, and we can't kill a dozen dwarfs? ”
As soon as he said this, the other workers looked at the short figure of the Japanese who rushed over, and immediately gained confidence and courage. yes, what's so scary about these little dwarfs? One person can't do it, a group of people go up, and they can crush him to death!!
Seeing that the momentum of the workers under his subordinates came up, Liuzi smiled slightly, and quickly divided his subordinates into groups, a group of five, and a group of people to face a little devil. He took the lead with a group of people and rushed towards one of the widows, and the other groups were not to be outdone, clenched the flat pole or wooden stick in their hands, gritted their teeth, and rushed forward.
Every man will have blood in him, and he will also have a kind of hero complex. When he saw the sixth brother holding a steel fork to hold the other party's steel knife, Yu Heizi, who was in a group with the sixth brother, raised the wooden stick in his hand high, and the expression on his face made his already slightly fierce face even more hideous. He took advantage of the opportunity that the other party did not withdraw the steel knife, and slammed the other party's head and back.
The other employees of the same group, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, also smashed their heads and faces at the hapless wolf. Before the wolf could launch a second attack, he was already knocked unconscious on the ground and lost his combat effectiveness. Rokuko stabbed the other man in the chest with a fork, killing him.
The other groups, seeing that their leaders had succeeded, became even more imposing, and rushed towards the Japanese with a strange "howl" like a tiger coming down the mountain. Seeing this momentum, the remaining few would-be robbers turned around and ran to the shore one after another. Some of them were cut off by the officers and soldiers on the shore and lost their lives. Some were caught up by the dock workers and beaten all over the place, and had no power to fight back.
The workers won the first battle, and the timidity on their bodies was swept away, and everyone was full of confidence. In the following battles, each of their groups achieved a small victory. The sixth son even added: "When the time comes, according to the number of widows eliminated, come to me to receive the award." Five taels of silver for a devil! After killing, cut off the devil's left ear as proof! ”
The workers were more like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and pounced on the lone widows. Scared the little devils into fleeing in all directions. The workers eliminated a little devil and picked up the opponent's weapons, and soon they each had a steel knife, and they were more confident!
Perhaps because of the good cooperation, although there are also workers injured, most of them are skin injuries. The sixth brother contributed the gold sore medicine he bought from Tong Ren Tang, and the hemostatic effect was obvious. Those injured workers, who were red-eyed, were reluctant to bear the reward promised by the sixth brother, and could not get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, and contributed to the protection of the dock!
Just as the battle at the wharf was in full swing, the Japanese in Dongshan Village had already retreated to the village and adopted the three-light policy of searching, robbing, and burning, and the village could be seen in flames from a long distance. Especially those thatched houses, which were lit by fire, quickly turned to ashes.
The courtyard of the Yu family, because it is the newest and strongest in the village, and it is very close to the West Mountain, was requisitioned by Watanabe Hongichi. The vegetables in the yard have suffered, and they have been plucked and chopped by the little devils, and they are ruined. Most of the grain, melons and fruits in the cellar of the Yu family, as well as the meat in the ice cellar, were carried onto the ship by the Japanese robbers. Some of the rest are reserved for Watanabe Hiroichi to enjoy.
The Zhou family next door drove the chickens into the nearby mountains and forests, and because their chickens were all raised in captivity, many chickens sneaked back and gathered in front of the Zhou family. The Japanese coars stationed nearby were happy to catch chickens. The chicken was plucked, salted, roasted, and eaten. Since the great natural disaster in the Wa Kingdom, these guys have not eaten any meat except fish! The chickens of the Zhou family were so badly harmed that they did not look like this.
Similarly, the Yu family's pig farm is not immune. Fortunately, these guys, in order to prevent the meat from spoiling, only killed some of it and left it for themselves. The others are going to wait until they go back before killing the ship. In the Yu family's pig farm, the miserable cries of pigs can be heard every day.
At this time, the villagers of Dongshan Village, except for a few families who were chased by the Japanese and fled into the mountains and forests without permission, the other more than 100 people were led by Yu Xiaocao towards her secret base.
The valley wasn't too far from Dongshan Village, but the trail was difficult to walk and took some time. After the Japanese invaders withdrew from the mountains and forests, Yu Hai and Captain Zheng had already followed the traces left by the large army and joined them.
The first thing Liu did when he saw the man was to check if he was injured. Yu Hai's clothes did have a lot of blood stains, but they were all splashed when he killed the Japanese robbers, and he was not injured at all. Most of the guards came back intact, and even if they were injured, they were minor and fine.
Yu Xiaocao led everyone to a forest filled with white mist on the edge of the cliff. These white mist were not available before, in order to protect his secret base from being discovered and ruined by others, Yu Xiaocao asked Xiao Mending Heaven Stone to help arrange such a maze array. Without the guidance of someone as familiar as her and her younger brother, the others would soon be lost in the misty forest. Occasionally, people from Dongshan Village come here, and few people dare to enter when they see this inexplicable white fog.
"Xiaocao, did you bring it in the wrong place? I've been in here, and I've been in it for three days and three nights before I came out, and I'm almost starving to death inside! "Goudan has been a famous boy in the village since he was a child, and there is nothing he doesn't dare to go to the mountains and seas, and when he grows up, he still has the courage to break through the sky, and he bets with others to enter the white mist forest, and almost didn't come out.
