271. Coastal plagues
chekiang
Shaoxing Mansion.
Shaoxing Mansion, which was once full of people, is now the gate of Shaoxing Mansion is closed, and the city wall is also full of patrolling soldiers.
There seemed to be a tense atmosphere in the air.
The reason why this is so is because in recent times, a large number of Japanese robbers have appeared in many places in Zhejiang, plundering cities in various places.
Not only Zhejiang, but also all coastal areas were harassed by the Japanese invaders.
Unlike in the past, when there were only a small number of pirates, the number of pirates who attacked the coast this time was extremely large, adding up to tens of thousands.
Although these pirates were scattered all over the place, they still caused great trouble to various places.
Three counties and four towns under the jurisdiction of Shaoxing Prefecture have been plundered.
Three days ago, the city of Shaoxing was attacked by two thousand Japanese robbers, the prefect of Shaoxing was killed, and a Jinyi guard was killed.
Although there are only 2,000 Japanese soldiers, these 2,000 Japanese are extraordinary in martial arts and extremely strong in combat, and it is difficult to resist them with the combat effectiveness of the local soldiers in Shaoxing Prefecture.
Install the latest version. 】
These would-be pirates were no longer ordinary bandits and pirates, but samurai from Dongying, a group of warriors.
In the face of a group of teams with extremely mobile and extraordinary individual combat effectiveness, how can ordinary soldiers resist?
In fact, for the people of Shaoxing Mansion, they are no strangers to the Japanese Invaders.
But since Qi Jiguang pacified the troubles, there have been very few Japanese robbers landing, let alone such an open-minded plundering of the city.
The sudden attack of the Japanese caught the coastal provinces off guard.
On the city wall walked a middle-aged man dressed in armor, looking to be in his forties, with a new scar on his face.
Seeing the comer, the soldiers around saluted: "Sir." ”
The person who came was Shaoxingwei's jurisdiction over thousands of households, thousands of households Lu'an.
Three days ago, the Japanese invaded Shaoxing Mansion, and it was Lu An who led the army to come to the rescue, which expelled the Japanese for a short time.
Since the Japanese invaded Shaoxing, Shaoxing Wei and Shaoxing Fu sent troops to suppress everywhere, but the entire Shaoxing Wei soldiers were only 5,000.
And the number of brocade guards in the entire Shaoxing Mansion is less than two thousand.
These robbers were extremely cunning, and they did not choose to fight hard, but scattered all over the country, burning, killing and looting villages and towns, forcing various troops to rescue.
But in the face of the wandering pirates, this is a drop in the bucket.
The Jinyi guards of Shaoxing Mansion were lured away, and the Japanese Kou gathered in the dark and turned to attack Shaoxing Mansion.
If it weren't for Lu An leading the troops in time, I am afraid that this Shaoxing Mansion would really be occupied by the Japanese in the end.
Lu An stretched out his hand and stomped on the wall, looking into the distance, with a trace of sorrow between his eyebrows.
"Your Excellency."
A hundred households on the side stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The three-day period has arrived, and our reinforcements have not yet arrived, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on to us alone." ”
Three days ago, before leaving, the Japanese put down their cruel words and asked them to hand over 500,000 taels, otherwise they would break down the door and slaughter the city.
I don't know if the reinforcements were blocked, or if the people who were sent out to deliver the news had an accident.
Lu An glanced back at him and said coldly: "Even if you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" ”
"When the Japanese invade the city, all the people of the city will suffer."
The hundreds of households on the side wanted to speak and stopped.
They plus the army in the city are only 2,000 men.
But after a long period of peace, he knows very well what kind of combat power his brothers are.
On the other hand, those gangsters not only have a ruthless personality, but also have extremely strong individual combat.
Three days ago, they were able to force back the Japanese pirates, completely relying on the superiority of numbers, and even so, hundreds of people were killed and wounded.
There were less than 100 Japanese who came that day.
If you come back today, it will be an army of pirates.
At that moment, a puff of smoke and dust was lifted on the horizon in the distance.
From the smoke and dust, several fierce horses galloped out, and in the rear, there were dense vacans, galloping quickly.
The hundred households shrank and exclaimed: "It's a wolf!" ”
Lu An's hands were quietly clenched, he looked into the distance with a solemn expression, and said coldly: "Be on guard!" ”
His face was extraordinarily solemn.
Looking at the number of these widows, there are at least more than 3,000 people.
Although they don't want to admit it, in the face of such a number of pirates, their chances of victory may not be too great.
Judging from the recent information, this group of pirates is not those pirates and ronins, but more like real Toei samurai.
Of course, there are some pirates among them, otherwise there would not be such a huge momentum.
To deal with these Japanese robbers, they often have to pay several times the number of troops, and now the defenders of Shaoxing Mansion ......
Lu Anxin is not optimistic.
A group of pirates rushed to the city, but they did not rush to attack, but stood out of the range of their bows and arrows.
A leader dressed in red armor rode out, looked at the top of the city wall, and said with a cruel smile on his face: "Are you ready for the money?" ”
Hearing this, Lu An snorted coldly with murderous intent on his face: "Thief! ”
"The army of my court is coming, I advise you to dismount and surrender as soon as possible, so as not to be in a different place."
Although he was worried, he knew that he must not show it as a general.
The morale was already low, and if he showed his cowardice again, the soldiers would probably be even less willing to fight.
"Haha!"
"Are you waiting for reinforcements?"
"Ben will tell you, don't wait, they're all dead."
Xiao Zhutenyama smiled and waved his hand, and a widow behind him stepped forward, carrying a blood-stained package in his hand.
Xiaozhu Fujishan took the package, opened it casually, took out a blood-stained head from it, and laughed: "This should be the general of your Ming army, right?" ”
"Haha!"
"It's so vulnerable, Ben will personally cut off his head."
Lu An's eyes instantly turned red, and he said angrily: "Thief, I'll kill you!" ”
The owner of the bloody head was none other than his boss, Xu Zhengyu, the commander of Shaoxingwei.
He was able to serve as a thousand households, thanks to the promotion of this old boss.
Just a few days ago, they were drinking together and discussing the imperial court's preparations for the establishment of a sailor.
As officers, they naturally have a higher level of insight than those big-headed soldiers.
General Qi's prestige is unknown to anyone in this coastal area.
The imperial court is preparing to build a naval division, and the soldiers and generals of the guards in various coastal areas can sign up to participate, and if they can join it, they will definitely have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the imperial court.
The corruption of the military system of the Ming Guard is the general trend, and it cannot be changed by a few people, but there is no shortage of people in the army who have the heart to serve the country.
The main people are still aiming for Qi Jiguang's reputation.
Lu An is one of them, and the boss also wrote a letter of introduction for himself.
Lu An's eyes stared at Xiao Zhuteng Mountain, and his face was extremely cold.
"Haha!"
Seeing Lu An's angry appearance, Xiao Zhutengshan laughed louder and louder, reluctantly pulled out the sword on his waist, and shouted: "Open the city gate obediently, I can spare your life, otherwise when Ben will break through the city gate, the chicken and dog will not be left!" ”
For a moment, many of the soldiers looked afraid.
After all, it is a local guard soldier, and it is impossible to compare with the soldiers and horses in Liaodong and the important towns of the nine borders.
Lu An's face sank suddenly.
It would be fine if Commander Xu had nothing to do, but now that Commander Xu is dead, the soldiers may be even more warless.
Xiao Zhutengshan immediately waved his hand again, and a group of Japanese robbers behind him escorted a group of ragged people forward.
"Help!"
"Help!"
The people shouted with horror on their faces.
"Brute!"
"Bastard!"
"Brute!"
Lu An's teeth rattled, and the anger in his chest seemed to be about to erupt into a volcano.
Xiao Zhu Tengshan looked up and laughed: "Da Ming, open the city gate, otherwise you will wait to collect the corpses of these people." ”
"Haha!"
Kotakeyama laughed proudly.
He had already used this method more than once, and the old man had fallen for his scheme, and he would really believe that he would let go of these stupid Han people.
In his opinion, this group of Ming troops is stupid.
The smile on Kotake's face became more and more unbridled, as if he had seen the scene of himself leading a large army into the city.
As long as he can capture this Shaoxing Mansion and plunder enough treasures, Lord Fengcheng will definitely give him a rich reward, and maybe even give him a fief.
That's right, this one is not an ordinary Japanese robber, but a samurai under Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Now that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is in charge of Kyushu, his power has reached an unprecedented level, and in addition to attacking Korea, he also sent samurai to unite various pirates and ronin, intending to attack all parts of the coast.
His purpose was very simple, in addition to finding out the combat strength of the army, it was to plunder the wealth of military resources and feed the war with war.
As long as you can capture all parts of the coast, you can divide your troops into two places and attack the Ming Dynasty at the same time.
Lu An clenched his fists tightly, his face was gloomy, he pulled out his knife reluctantly, and roared angrily: "Thief, I will swear to kill you!" ”
He knew that the gates of the city would not be opened under any circumstances today.
Once the gates of the city are opened, the people of the city will suffer.
Xiao Zhutenshan's face also turned cold, and he sneered: "I'll see how long you can endure it!" ”
He waved his hand slightly.
One of the would-be robbers smiled cruelly, dragged one of the civilians past him, raised the sword in his hand, and was about to swing the knife to cut it down.
"Hugh—"
At this moment, there seemed to be a streamer in the sky shooting through the clouds and mist.
"Poof!"
The arrow missed and pierced through the sword-wielding wolf.
This sudden scene made everyone's faces change dramatically, and they were shocked and angry.
Blood splattered on Xiao Zhutengshan's face, and his eyes suddenly widened with anger, and he roared: "Who is it?" ”
As soon as the words fell, there seemed to be thunder in my ears.
"Boom!"
The gravel on the ground pulsed wildly, and the whole earth seemed to tremble slightly.
The sound grew louder and louder, like a tsunami roaring and a landslide cracking.
"General, look!"
One of the would-be robbers suddenly widened his eyes and looked behind him with a frightened face.
Little Bamboo Vine Mountain hurriedly turned around.
In an instant, he was struck by lightning and froze in place.
On the horizon in the distance, a black torrent rushes like a great river.
A large cloud of smoke and dust that obscured the sky and the sun quickly spread towards this side, like a tornado, accompanied by bursts of roar.
There seemed to be a thick cloud lingering in the sky, and a thick evil aura was blowing in the face.
When you stand on the ground, you can feel that huge tremor, a huge vibration coming from the soles of your feet, as if you want to bounce people off the ground.
Xiao Zhuteng's face changed greatly, brandishing his sword, and roared angrily: "Be on guard! ”
"Quick, release the arrow!"
"Stay in formation!"
Xiaozhu Tengshan dared to lead the army to attack Shaoxing Mansion, naturally it would not be really arrogant, and he knew the horror of cavalry.
But as long as they withstood the first wave of the attack and slowed down the cavalry, they would be able to fight back.
On the city wall, the soldiers stared into the distance with wide eyes and a slight shortness of breath.
When he saw the flag in the smoke and dust, Lu An's face suddenly showed ecstasy.
Jinyiwei!
The Exocet flag was too conspicuous.
Could it be that the Jinyi Wei of Shaoxing Mansion is back?
If so, they still have a chance of winning.
But soon, Lu An saw a big banner with the word "forest" in the smoke and dust.
Lu An seemed to have thought of something, and exclaimed, "Wu Anhou!? ”
"It's Wu Anhou!"
Under the shocked gaze of everyone, the black torrent attacking from the rear collided with the army of Japanese invaders.
In an instant, the pirates fell like wheat.
The black torrent is advancing fast!
The one-sided slaughter left the Japanese under the command of Xiaozhu Fujiyama at a loss, and the emotions of panic, shock, and panic began to spread rapidly.
"Run!"
"Run!"
Soon, a group of would-be robbers shouted eagerly, and the formation was completely chaotic.
Xiao Zhu Tengshan swung his sword and killed the two fleeing widows, and roared angrily: "Don't retreat!" ”
"Kill me!"
But his cries were soon drowned out by the terrified wails around him.
In an instant, the three thousand Japanese robbers were chiseled through by the brocade guards, scattering the group of Japanese robbers, but they were divided and suppressed.
The strength of this gang of pirates is not weak, on the contrary, it is extremely strong, otherwise it would not have been possible to wander around Zhejiang for so long.
Xiaozhu Tengshan is also a Four Realms Grandmaster, and there are also many Tiangang Realms under his command, and there are two Ronin subordinates of the Grandmaster Realm.
Moreover, these Japanese from Dongying are all samurai, pursuing the spirit of samurai, and in their cognition, these Ming armies are a bunch of waste.
And the many victories in various parts of Zhejiang have also made their mentality extremely inflated.
Many Ming troops are completely vulnerable.
But this moment...... They're scared!
Even with endless horror in their hearts, the ruthlessness they thought was not worth mentioning in front of the Jinyi guards who rushed to kill.
For a time, many of them put down their weapons and surrendered, but they were greeted by a fallen embroidered spring knife.
In their eyes, these people dressed in black, every time they swung their knives, their heads rose to the sky.
It's a total one-sided slaughter!
In a short moment, the wailing in the field suddenly stopped.
Five hundred brocade guards came quietly on horseback, raising their knives and pointing diagonally at the ground.
Blood slowly dripped down the gilded blade.
In a pool of blood, the few remaining widows fell to their knees.
Kotakefuyama broke a leg and fell to his knees, his face frightened and even incredulous.
He is a grandmaster, but among these people, he feels no less than thirty people who are in the same realm as him.
On the city wall, Lu An held the knife in his hand and looked down with fiery eyes.
A sentence crossed my mind.
"The husband should be like this!"
However, he searched all over the field, but he did not see the legendary Wu'an Hou.
At this moment, a behemoth slowly approached from behind, exuding a monstrous ferocity.
The mighty brocade guards followed behind him, with a solemn expression.
The whole team was like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed.
Angry!
Lu Antong shrunk and muttered, "That's ...... Pixiu? ”
So the one who sits on Pixiu......
It goes without saying that it is naturally that Wu Anhou.
Now in the entire Ming Dynasty, the only one who can ride such a beast as Pixiu is Wu'anhou.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu An's face was excited, and he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly open the city gate and welcome Wu'an Hou." ”
The soldiers around him shouted loudly before they came to their senses.
Outside the city after the battle, dead bodies were everywhere, human heads were rolling, and the smell of blood was permeated.
Xiao Zhutenshan knelt on the ground, and suddenly noticed a huge shadow in front of him.
Subconsciously raised his head, and the whole person became uncontrollable in horror.
"Weird...... Monster! ”
Looking at the huge Pixiu in front of him, his heart was completely panicked.
Pixiu roared dissatisfiedly, looking unkind.
How dare you say I'm a monster?
A fierce light flashed in Pixiu's eyes, and he gradually revealed his fierce appearance.
Xiao Zhutenshan's frightened body trembled, and he staggered back.
Look up......
What I saw was a pair of cold eyes.
Lin Mang looked down at the small bamboo and vine mountain, and said calmly: "Who is your leader?" ”
The tone was calm, as if he was saying something very ordinary.
Xiao Zhutengshan's body trembled inexplicably, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes at first, but he quickly said sharply: "Da Mingren, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible!" ”
"Your Ming Dynasty will soon be occupied by us, and if you wish, we will be able to introduce you to Toyotomi-sama."
"Tell you, Lord Fengcheng's army has conquered Korea, and it won't be long before it will invade Daming."
"Don't you have a saying that those who know the times are called handsome?"
As he spoke, the horror on Xiao Zhutenshan's face disappeared, and he seemed to have found some confidence.
Lin Mang's face was expressionless, and an invisible whirlpool seemed to emerge in his eyes.
The invisible power of the primordial spirit poured into Kotake's mind, and his eyes became godless and empty.
The spiritual Dafa of changing the heavens and striking the earth was quietly unleashed.
In Lin Mang's eyes, there seemed to be a reflection of a picture, which were the memories of Xiaozhu Tengshan.
After a while, Lin Mang retracted his gaze and rode Pixiu away slowly.
As soon as Xiao Zhutenshan woke up, a cold light flashed embroidered spring knife fell from in front of him.
"Poof!"
As blood splattered, a skull with angry eyes rolled to the ground.
……
"Xiaguan Shaoxing, Wei Qianhu, Lu An, meet Wu'an Hou!"
In front of the city gate, Lu An led a group of soldiers and saluted respectfully.
There was excitement in his tone that had never been seen before.
Others say that this Marquis Wu Anhou is a killing god and a traitor to the court, but in his opinion, this is a mountain in his heart.
From a brocade guard Xiaoqi to the famous Wu'an Hou, how many people are there in the whole world?
Lu An's mood at the moment is quite like seeing an idol's fan brother.
Lin Mang glanced at him and ordered, "Clean up this place." ”
dropped a word, and led a group of brocade guards into the city.
