It has been half a month since the army led by Zhu Di arrived in Cen Gang, Zhejiang.

When they came, they found that they had taken over a city.

This Cen Gang City is still a military town, but it was captured, which made Zhu Di can't help but scold, the soldiers who defend the city are all dry food, and they can't hold the city.

It's not just the soldiers who defend the city in Zhejiang.

Zhu Di found that the quality of the Southern Army brought by himself was not good!!

Before leaving, excluding the old and weak in the army, the rest of the soldiers were recruits who had never fought and had never seen blood.

In recent years, the soldiers stationed in the tuntian fields of various health posts have received quite little training, and they still work in the tuntian fields on weekdays, but they seem to be no different from the peasants.

Of course it's still better than the farmer.

Although the soldiers were well-equipped, their combat effectiveness was worrisome.

In addition, Zhu Di also found that there were no generals who could fight well, and the old ones were old and dead.

The younger generation is slightly better except for Fan Zhong and Tan Yuan, and there is no one else.

His own generals Zhang Wu and Zhang Yu. The others are still stationed in Beiping and cannot be dispatched at will.

So, Zhu Di took advantage of this time to get rid of the widows, and planned to cultivate generals who were loyal to him.

It is the third child in front of him, Zhu Gaosui, who is one of them.

In the tent, Zhu Di was watching the military newspaper, thoughtful.

"Dad, these soldiers are not good, they are all Geng Bingwen's trained soldiers, and they are very cowardly, far less powerful than the soldiers in Beiping."

Zhu Gaosui grinned and asked tentatively, "Why don't we send the troops from Beiping over?" ”

"Mobilize the soldiers of Beiping?"

Zhu Di frowned, looked at Zhu Gaosui and said: "For the first time in these years, Lone has personally conquered, blocked General Kou, and led an army of 50,000 to fight a small widow. ”

"Dad, it's the child who talks too much, and Dad forgives the sin." Zhu Gaosui immediately changed his words.

Zhu Di said earnestly: "Third brother, the southern army is a little worse, but the victory lies in the well-equipped, besides, can't you use your brains?" Do you think Lone doesn't know what you're up to? Just thinking about your brother-in-law and your second brother, your brother-in-law and second brother have already run away, and the soldiers in Beiping can't move, don't think about it. ”

Zhu Gaosui disagreed: "Dad, my brother-in-law and second brother ran away and the child is absolutely unbelievable, this is all rumors."

"Actually, what?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and asked: "What do you seem to know, Jinyiwei has not withdrawn from Beiping all these years, and you still know the news?" ”

"Hey, Daddy. It's nothing, in fact, children don't know it."

Zhu Gaosui smiled and sold a pass.

In fact, he had already planted a spy to break into Li Xiao's interior, and this spy was a maid under Zhang Cuicui, the personal maid of the county lord of Yong'an.

Don't look at it as a little maid, there is definitely a lot of information provided.

What Li Xiao has been doing all these years, Zhu Gaosui knows a lot, but he didn't say anything outside, after all, his brother-in-law is close to him, isn't it?

"The third child."

Zhu Di squinted his eyes, walked over, and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "You have been by your father's side all these years, you are the most caring person for your father, tell your father, where did Li Xiao and Zhu Gaoxu go?" ”

"Daddy really doesn't know."

Zhu Gaosui showed an innocent expression.

"That's it."

Zhu Di hesitated for a while, and said: "This Cen Gang City is indeed difficult to capture, there is a mountain to the south of Cen Gang, and there are also 5,000 Japanese Kou who occupy the mountain as the king, Guo Ying can't take it for a long time, I will replace him tomorrow and replace you." ”

From attacking the city to attacking the fortress, the difficulty was reduced a lot in an instant.

Zhu Gaosui touched his head and pretended to be surprised: "Dad, the child suddenly felt a lot clearer and remembered something. Yes, yes, the child remembered. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "If you think of something, say it quickly." ”

"It was half a year ago, and the child's brain is not good, and he almost forgot."

Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "Half a year ago, the first big ship of the shipyard in Tianjin Port went to sea. Then they led 3,500 soldiers on board the ship, and then went out to sea. ”

"What ???"

Zhu Di frowned and exclaimed, "Out to sea?" The imperial court stipulates that the sea is forbidden, and he dares to openly disobey the regulations, this kid is really bold, but he is a special zone, even Lone can't blame him, this is the meaning of the saint."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Gaosui and said, "Where did you go to sea?" ”

"Hey, hey." Zhu Gaosui said: "Dad, we also accidentally inquired about it, whether it is true or not, you listen to it, the news is not accurate, don't blame it." ”

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go." Zhu Di was a little angry.

"I heard that I went to the Japanese country, but as for what I was going to, the child didn't know, and the child was also strange." Zhu Gaosui said.

"I went to the Wa Kingdom, and I took the second child and Zhang Wu with them."

Zhu Di got up slowly, pacing in the tent with his hands in his hands, full of thoughts.

Half-ringing, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his voice slightly: "Half a year ago, they went to sea to the Wa Kingdom, and half a year later, all the Wakou came to our Daming, what is the reason?" ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "Dad, maybe the Japanese have no shore to go on, so they have to go to the shore of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Hiss. Zhu Di's eyes widened, and he said, "The Japanese have no shore to go on, so what happened to the Japanese country?" ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "Could it be that the Japanese country was occupied by my brother-in-law and second brother, and the Japanese were not allowed to go ashore?" ”

The voice fell.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaosui both fell silent.

"The Wa Kingdom has been occupied by Li Xiao!"

"The Wa Kingdom has been occupied by Li Xiao!"

In the middle of the sound, the two suddenly said this guess in unison!

The words fell, and there was silence again.

"Fuck, Li Xiao."

After a long time, Zhu Di said incredulously: "Li Xiao is actually helping Gu to expand his territory?" He occupied the Wa kingdom??? ”

Incredible, simply incredible!

Zhu Di felt that his scalp was numb, this Li Xiao was too bold, and three thousand soldiers dared to go to the Wa Kingdom, and it seemed that he had done it.

Zhu Gaosui nodded: "Dad, there is this possibility, otherwise how could so many wouldn't have come to our territory?" ”

“.” Zhu Di felt like he was being compared.

Back then, he promised his father to expand the territory, but it turned out that it was his son-in-law who took the lead in expanding the territory. Where to put your old face?

"This Li Xiao and the second child can do it, and 3,000 people will occupy the Wa Kingdom?"

Zhu Di frowned and said: "Third brother, then our 50,000 people can't capture the cities occupied by these Japanese invaders, do you think there is light on your face?" ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "My brother-in-law occupies the Japanese country, and the child's face is bright." ”

Zhu Di: "."

There is indeed light, after all, they are all their own families.

Zhu Di said slowly: "Although there are some surprises, but it is also reasonable, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhang Wu, Zhang Fu and others are all powerful generals who have experienced a hundred battles, Li Xiao is not bad, and the soldiers in Beiping are comparable to the southern army. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di sat down, took a sip of tea and said: "Gu has done his best for the country over the years, the treasury tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty has doubled in the past five years, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the country is peaceful and peaceful. ”

Zhu Gaosui: "."

He said to himself, Dad, you really know how to find yourself under the stairs.

Zhu Di continued: "Gao Sui, behave well tomorrow, after following alone for so many years, don't be compared to your second brother." ”

Zhu Gaosui looked determined, and arched his hand: "Dad, you can take a good look, the small walled city, no problem!" ”

Early the next morning.

Today, it was raining a little misty and the weather was gloomy.

Zhu Gaosui rode a horse and came early to the foot of a mountain called Daling Mountain, fifty miles south of Cen Gang City.

At the foot of the mountain is the camp where Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen are stationed.

"The prince has an order, so that I can take over the position of General Guo Ying, General Guo Ying, you step back and stand by."

Zhu Gaosui walked to the camp tent and took out the military order, and then Guo Ying was helpless, so he handed over the tiger talisman and shouted before leaving: "It's not that the last general is unfavorable to attack the village, but this cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the opponent's artillery is stronger than our army, and the firepower is too fierce and difficult to attack." ”

Zhu Gaosui smiled: "If you want to step down, you can step down, where is there so much nonsense." ”

Guo Ying was helpless and walked out of the tent.

In this way, Zhu Gaosui smiled slowly, sat next to the sand table, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was too difficult to attack the city before, so it should be easier to fight this cottage, right?

Zhu Gaosui looked at the deputy general Geng Bingwen on the side and said, "General Geng, tell me about the current situation." ”

Geng Bingwen arched his hand and said: "General Hui, in fact, as General Guo Ying said before, these gangs of Japanese bandits should not be underestimated, they are entrenched in the sea and plunder, and there is plenty of gunpowder and ammunition.

There was a cannon on board called the Frangi Cannon, which was very powerful.

I heard that they came from Portugal and other places, and their muskets were also very powerful, with a longer range and greater power than the three-eyed guns of our Ming army.

Originally, these artillery pieces were to be transported to Cen Gang City, but our Ming army arrived, and they didn't have time to deliver them, so they were stationed on this mountain.

I really didn't expect that in the years of the ban on the sea, the artillery of overseas countries has surpassed my Ming.

In addition, in the mountains, our iron-cast cannons are too big, and it has been raining a lot lately, and the ground is slippery, so it is impossible to transport them at all. ”

After listening, Zhu Gaosui frowned slightly.

I didn't expect this cottage to be so tricky.

Zhu Gaosui said: "According to General Geng's opinion, how should we break the enemy?" ”

Geng Bingwen said: "The last general thought that to build a fortification at the foot of the mountain, he only needed to besiege the mountain for three months, so that they could run out of ammunition and food, and then they could attack themselves. ”

"March??"

Zhu Gaosui stood up and said coldly: "No, my Ming army will fight a small Japanese robber, and it will take three months, jokes, raise the army today, and attack the village directly with me tomorrow!" ”

What are you kidding, keep it for three months, and then the old man will have to beat himself again.

On the second day, after burying the pot and cooking.

Zhu Gaosui led the army up the mountain and attacked the village!

The camp was built with trees and was quite thick, and there were fortifications two hundred paces away in front of the camp, sharpened to a sharp point, and the heavy resistance to horses resisted in front of them.

As a result, the foot soldiers need to take more detours to get through these obstacles, and they can't get into a large number of soldiers at once.

Zhu Gaosui looked at the surrounding environment, and sure enough, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, there were rock walls on both sides, and there was only one way to attack it.

In this way, you can only attack!

Attack and attack!

Zhu Gaosui gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "The shield soldier is on top!" Offensive! ”

The soldiers held their shields on top, and Zhu Gaosui also personally participated in the battle to boost morale.

The Japanese on the cottage immediately began to fight back, and the muskets were shot down.

As Geng Bingwen said, the muskets of these Japanese are indeed much more powerful than the three-eyed guns of the Ming Dynasty, and the three-eyed guns can't attack so far, and their bird guns are more powerful and have a longer range.

On the way through the fortifications, the soldiers were attacked by muskets.

Bang bang bang!

The soldiers could not get close to the cottage, so they were beaten and retreated, and kept retreating.

"Don't retreat, attack me! Those who take three steps back, slash! ”

Zhu Gaosui ordered loudly, and then the army continued to brave the rain of bullets.

The attack lasted for half a day, and at night, with the accumulation of human lives, the Ming army finally rushed to the camp, and Zhu Gaosui was also slightly injured.

Because of the rain, the three-eyed gun was useless, but the would-be would-be wouldn't be able to shoot at the soldiers below with impunity.

The leader of this cottage laughed uncontrollably: "明軍はそうだったが、彼らに私たちのすごさを味わわせて、Brother たちは私にひどく打ってくれた"

The adjutant general on the side said: "明軍もあの漢王の精鋭軍だけがすごいと思うが、これらの軍隊は本当に一撃にたえない。 ”

The strength of these Japanese leaders is not weak, they are not ordinary Japanese invaders, but the defeated families of the Japanese state, and they lost the control of the Japanese state, so they became Japanese robbers at sea.

Among these Japanese criminals, there are not only Japanese people, but also many Ming people, all of whom are some criminals, and there is nowhere to escape, so they become Japanese criminals.

Although the Ming Dynasty forbade the sea, there were still sea ships involved in trade.

These pirates not only plundered the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, but also the ships of the Portuguese merchants in the east.

Buying arms, robbing arms, arming ships, if it weren't for Li Xiao's terrifying ship, the firepower was too strong, and countless ships were driven and sunk along the coast.

They will certainly not take the risk of escaping to Daming.

As a result, it was found that the firearms used by the Ming army were not as good as theirs, of course. Except for the Ming army that occupied the Wa Kingdom.

"Hook Lock!!"

Zhu Gaosui ordered loudly.

It cost more than 1,500 lives to rush from the rain of bullets to the camp.

The soldiers threw out their hooks and hooked the fortifications of the walled city.

The hook lock was hundreds of meters long, and the soldiers put down their weapons and held the hook lock one after another.

"Pull it for me!"

All the soldiers pulled back together.

There is no way, the artillery can't be transported, so you can only use this local method to attack the village.

As long as the cottage is pulled apart, so that these pirates have no safe shooting spots, the army can rush in.

"Hit, hit!"

The leader of the Japanese robbers laughed and said: "When they were stationed, the wood was five meters deep into the ground, and they felt that they would never be able to pull it down, so they could fight with confidence!" ”

Bang bang bang!

Above the camp.

Gunfire continued to ring, accompanied by arrows, the Ming soldiers fell one by one, and the war-weariness became more and more intense.

"Damn, this camp is so strong."

Zhu Gaosui was a little annoyed.

Hundreds of people couldn't pull down the camp, and the damage was increasing.

"General, let's withdraw, it's too much loss to go on like this."

Geng Bingwen rushed over, looked at Zhu Gaosui and said, "Withdraw first, wait for a few days for the weather to be clear, and then find a way to transport the cannon up the mountain, it's not too late to attack!" ”

"General, let's withdraw first, it's raining, and the battle is not effective."

Several more generals said the same.

Zhu Gaosui gritted his teeth, now he can only do this, he waved his hand, "Withdraw the army!" ”

Hearing the signal to retreat, all the soldiers retreated one after another as if they were burdened, and the speed was extremely fast.

"Hahaha, the Ming army has withdrawn!"

The leader stood on the tower, pointed at Zhu Gaosui and scolded with a smile: "But that's it, Baga"

Although Zhu Gaosui didn't understand, he probably knew that he was scolding him, his angry fists clenched, and he had no choice but to withdraw from the mountain with the army.

That's it,

Zhu Gaosui's fifth attack was again in vain

Soon, he was scolded by Zhu Di for being bloody

Night.

A village near Cixi, Zhejiang.

The moonlight was hazy, and a group of would-be robbers in their thirties quietly approached a small fishing village.

Their figures were hidden in the night, as silent as ghosts.

As they approach, this peaceful fishing village is about to descend into a catastrophe.

In the middle of the night, the pirates suddenly attacked, breaking down the door, and screaming in terror could be heard from inside the house.

"Baga, kill, kill them all."

The fishermen were awakened, fleeing, crying, and desperately resisting.

In desperation, they had no power to fight back.

This time, there were so many pirates that they couldn't resist.

According to the instructions from the imperial court, they were required to hold on to the city and wait for help.

The county towns around the country have begun to let the surrounding villagers relocate, but some county towns simply cannot accommodate so many people, and in desperation, the local magistrates have given up many villages.

The tragic slaughter lit up the butcher's knife at this moment.

The pirates slashed and killed the fishermen and burned down the houses, and the wails and fires mingled to create a horrific scene.

A young fisherman desperately tries to protect his family, but his fishing fork can't stop the sharp sword of the Wako.

His wife and children died tragically before his eyes, and he howled in pain, but he could not recover the lives that had been lost.

The whole village was shrouded in a thick bloody atmosphere.

The Japanese drew their swords and slashed and slashed, young and old.

The well in the village was stained red with blood

For a moment, people couldn't tell the difference between the sound of water and the sound of crying.

When the night fades and dawn falls.

This once bustling fishing village, with 43 households, has been reduced to ruins.

Dead fishermen lay in pools of blood, and their homes were razed to the ground.

As the night passed, the pirates departed with looted loot and endless murderous intent, leaving nothing but grief and despair.

"Damn, we're still a step too late."

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and squeezed his fist fiercely.

Li Xiao and the others came to this village belatedly, even though they had been chasing and killing these rogues day and night, but it was still not enough.

There are too many, and the pirates are scattered like stars, too difficult to pursue.

Even if their 1,000 fast cavalry kept running, they couldn't take care of all aspects, and along the way, they had wiped out nearly 8,000 Japanese robbers, but they were still the same

Stopped four village massacres, and this was the second village they had encountered.

Li Xiao slowly dismounted and walked towards the village, his eyes couldn't help but redden.

The smell of blood was everywhere in the village.

It was raining, and the ground was rendered blood red.

The corpses on the ground were washed white by the rain.

There are old people, there are women, there are children

If they had come one step earlier, these people would not have died.

If they had come earlier, they would still be able to live as they had been before

"I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me"

Li Xiao felt a little guilty in his heart, if he didn't want to go to sea to occupy the Japanese kingdom and want to completely get rid of the Japanese invaders, how could this disaster be caused.

"Xiaolang, don't blame yourself too much."

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ningyun's eyes were also moist, but she still held Li Xiao's hand and comforted him, "There has always been a problem of widows, and now we will eliminate them in one fell swoop, and this kind of thing will never happen again in the future." ”

Zhu Gaoxu also dismounted and said, "That's right, brother-in-law, what we have to do now is to get rid of these widows and avenge these dead people!" ”

Li Xiao nodded.

Indeed, although this disaster was caused by him, he did not expect such a thing to happen at the beginning, and Li Xiao thought that the local guard could resist.

Now that I think about it, I think a little too much.

These guards are usually tuntian, and there is very little training.

When things really happen, they are far less useful than the soldiers under the command of the frontier vassal king.

The Ming Dynasty used the guard system to feed a large number of soldiers, half of whom were tuntian and half of which were armed.

This kind of thinking is good.

But over time, if there is no one to supervise them, the soldiers will degenerate into peasants, and their combat effectiveness will be worried.

According to the normal historical timeline, it took another five or six years for Zhu Di to realize this problem and began to arrange a special division to deal with the Japanese in the coastal area.

Now these guards can only defend the city, and cannot take the initiative to attack.

Soldiers like this in the coastal area who are wealthy in the garrison are more likely to slack off in their training on weekdays, and if the commander is greedy for enjoyment, he will not train at all.

There is no way to fight against this kind of extremely powerful Japanese bandits.

A few decades later, the military fields of many local guards would be taken over by the local landlords and gentry, and the soldiers of the guards would not be able to support themselves.

Moreover, Li Xiao found that the firearms of these Japanese soldiers were better than those of the Japanese army, and they were already super bright, and they must have purchased them from Portugal.

The forbidden sea is wrong, so what you are doing now is right!

Your own changes to the guard system are also right!

All the experience, future generations have used blood and tears to help themselves explore.

Now it's all about executing, executing!

After witnessing blood and tears,

Li Xiao is now more convinced of his decision.

"That's right, Ning Yun and Gao Xu, you are right, now that we have completely solved the Japanese Invaders and completely occupied the Japanese Kingdom, there will be no more such things in the future!"

Li Xiao nodded, and his heart was even more determined about his reform.

"Wow Wow Wow"

A muffled cry broke the peace.

"And survivors."

The crowd followed the sound and entered the thatched hut of a farmer, where all four of them had died under the butcher's knife.

With the cry, he turned over a pile of firewood in the corner of the wall, there was cotton wool in it, Zhu Ningyun walked to pick it up, and when he opened it, there was a baby girl who had just completed the moon.

"Wow Wow Wow"

The baby girl was white and pure, slightly thin, as if she felt the gaze, looked at Zhu Ningyun, her crying stopped, very quiet, and her eyes looked at the woman in front of her.

"It's the family who hid the baby girl here. She survived. ”

Zhu Ningyun's fingertips trembled, gently stroked the baby's cheek, and said slowly: "Fortunately, fortunately, you didn't cry last night and escaped."

"Hey, God has the virtue of a good life"

Li Xiao sighed, pitiful that the baby girl lost her parents not long after she was born.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "Poor child, take it back to Beiping and find someone to raise it, you can't die without help." ”

At this time, the baby girl felt Zhu Ningyun's touch, and laughed again, and the two pear vortices bloomed, which was very cute.

Zhu Ningyun's heart softened, and her eyes touched, which made her heart seem to melt, and it could be seen that she liked this baby girl very much.

Li Xiao suddenly thought that Zhu Ningyun had always been worried about not being able to have children.

If it has been going on for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a knot of depression in my heart.

Since she is destined for this baby girl, she simply adopted her as a righteous daughter, which also allows Ning Yun to have a spiritual sustenance to kill time in the future.

The two of them had a good heart, and before Li Xiao could speak, Zhu Ningyun raised her head, her eyes were rippling, she looked at Li Xiao and said: "Xiaolang, the two of us have no children under our knees, and since we have a relationship with this baby girl, I want to adopt her." ”

Li Xiao nodded: "Ning Yun, since you like it, then adopt it." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed, he had already noticed that his sister was always depressed, and he could guess that his sister had never given birth to a child.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "Okay, sister, I am happy to be a righteous daughter, then I Gaoxu will be her goduncle in the future, I don't know what my name is?" ”

Zhu Ningyun thought for a while and said, "I hope that her future days can be stable and peaceful, carefree, okay?" ”

Li Xiao looked at the baby girl, thinking that she would be her own righteous daughter from now on, and couldn't help but feel pity, "Rich and rich, carefree, and happy to live up." Then call it worry-free. ”

Thinking like this, Li Xiao felt a little less guilty about this family in his heart.

Zhu Gaoxu dragged his beard and nodded, "Worry-free, Li worry-free, this name is good." ”

"Gao Xu, leave ten people, and bury this family and the people of the village. Send three more people to send my righteous daughter to Beiping to find a nursing mother to feed, she is too young to take her around at this time. ”

Li Xiao looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Without further ado, we have to continue to set off to prevent the tragedy from recurring." ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and then said: "However, the ammunition we brought on this trip is empty, we are running too fast, brother-in-law, the big wooden box you arranged on the ship has not been delivered." ”

Li Xiao said: "There is no ammunition, just close hand-to-hand combat, you can't wait!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "Yes, brother-in-law, I'll arrange it immediately!" ”

As he spoke, he asked Zhu Ningyun to take Li Wuwu in his hand.

Zhu Ningyun looked at Wuwu and said softly: "Wuwu, you go home first, and after a while, your father and mother will go back to see you." ”

"Sister, give it to me, when this battle is over, there will be a long life in the future."

"Hmm."

After waiting for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu still took Li Wuwu over, and then went out.

"Hey"

Zhu Ningyun lowered his head and sighed.

"Ning Yun, don't feel uncomfortable, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."

This time it was Li Xiao's turn to comfort Zhu Ningyun, when Li Xiao was uncomfortable just now, Zhu Ningyun actually felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he still endured the heartbreak to comfort Li Xiao first.

Mutual support and encouragement between husband and wife can make the relationship eternal.

"Let's go! Let's go! ”

"Hmm."

That's it.

Li Xiao and Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry and continued to the south.

There aren't many pirates left.

Except for the largest group in the Cen Gang Zhoushan area, most of them were exterminated by them, and they were about to arrive at the next location, Cixi City, Zhejiang.

Cixi City, Zhejiang.

"Let us in."

"Please, General, let's go into the city"

"Let us in. I don't want to die."

Outside Cixi City, hundreds of people were begging the guards to let them into the city.

In the back, there was a large group of Japanese robbers, who were beaten around by Li Xiao and felt that they were separated only by annihilation, so they began to unite.

There were 3,000 people in this group of Japanese bandits, and because they were not all the way to Cen Gang's large number of Japanese bandits, they did not flee to that side.

They intend to occupy a city for themselves and a mountain for themselves.

These more than 1,000 people were captured by these pirates and thrown outside the city walls.

The purpose was that the gates of the city might be opened, so that they might enter it.

The leader of this group of Japanese robbers, Kotani Yehuang, shouted to the guards on the city wall: "Ming army, do you want to see your people die under our butcher's knife, hahaha. Or are you all cowards, hiding behind a wall like a turtle and not coming out? If you don't open the door, I'll kill someone. ”

With that, Kotani Noaki picked up a musket and fired a shot at a woman in her twenties in the crowd.

Bang.

The woman lay in a pool of blood on the spot, and the child in her arms was crying, unaware of what was happening.

"Hahahaha. Daming coward"

"A bunch of cowards, they don't dare open the door."

"If we don't open the door, we'll show them how we slaughter these people."

There was a burst of laughter among the widows, and murder seemed too common for them.

Above the city walls.

Li Jinglong, the defender of Cixi City, was extremely tormented in his heart.

"Damn!!"

Seeing this scene, Li Jinglong's right hand slammed into the wall fiercely, and his fist smashed out blood.

Five years have passed, and Li Jinglong at this time has lost his youthful spirit.

Like an old man in his forties, his hair has turned a lot grayer.

Since that incident, the Duke of Cao Guo has been stripped of his title, and he has been abused by hundreds of civil and military officials and countless people all day long.

"The Great Ming God of War? As for the waste thing, it is matched! ”

"Li Wenzhong is famous, how could he give birth to such a waste."

"You don't deserve to live, so find a river to jump into."

These words in the past still stay in Li Jinglong's mind every day and cannot be erased.

Subsequently, Li Jinglong was demoted to this small town by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the past five years, Li Jinglong has not been able to sleep day and night, borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, and lived a chaotic life, thinking that this life would pass like this.

Until recently, the Japanese invaded.

Li Jinglong did not flee this time, and he led the 5,000 soldiers of the guard to take the initiative to attack.

Constantly blocking the Japanese pirates, but because they have not trained much for many years, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is too poor, and these Japanese pirates are very strong.

One hundred enemies were wounded, and two hundred were self-inflicted.

In the end, Li Jinglong still chose to take the remaining 2,000 soldiers and retreat to the city wall.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three more civilians died under the muskets of the pirates.

"Brutes, these brutes!"

Li Jinglong's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and his nails were embedded in his flesh.

There were two options in front of him.

Open the gates of the city, let the people in, and face the battle in a bright light.

But if the battle is defeated, the people of this whole city will suffer

Or watch these people die and do nothing.

What to do.

What to do yourself.

Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong.

You. Do you want to go down like this?

Can anyone tell me what to do?

The city is far away.

There were three sneaky people, hiding behind trees.

One of them carried a video camera.

The other was cautious about what was going on.

"Be careful, don't make a noise."

"When we were discovered by the Japanese Invaders, the three of us were dead"

It was none other than Zhu Yunwen who spoke, he has been very quiet over the years, and at the same time he has found his life goal and is obsessed with making movies.

After learning that there was trouble here, Zhu Yunwen knew that Li Xiao was also here, so he planned to make a movie "Anti-Japanese Hero Li Xiao".

He sneaked over with a few people, and was almost hacked to death by the pirates on the way.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and it finally arrived.

"Guards. It's Lee Kyung-long."

At this time, Zhu Yunwen was surprised to find that it was Li Jinglong on the city wall, and he didn't expect the two to meet in this way.

"Hey, with Li Jinglong's temperament, I'm afraid he won't open the city gate."

Zhu Yunwen frowned, and there was a lot of emotion in his heart.

Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong.

How could I have used you in the first place?

If Xu Huizu had been used at the beginning, it might have been a different ending

But it's okay, I'm not fit to be an emperor in the first place.

It's also good to make a movie and leave something for future generations

"Director Zhu, is this still filming? The guards will not open the door, and the people will fall one by one."

The photographer with the camera couldn't bear to see the people dying one by one, but he couldn't do anything.

"Forget it, stop shooting."

Zhu Yunwen didn't want to film this humiliating scene.

"Wait for Director Zhu, what is the general going to do?"

The photographer was just about to put down the camera, and suddenly realized that the guard was a little different.

"Hey, will Li Jinglong change his mind?"

Zhu Yuanwen pointed to the city wall and ordered: "Shoot Li Jinglong who is aiming at the city wall, quickly"

"Open the door, meet the enemy outside the city!!"

At this moment,

Li Jinglong finally made up his mind.

After so many years, he has reflected on his mistakes countless nights.

I have made so many mistakes and have been looked down upon by countless people.

In the end, there is nothing more than one reason: greed for life and fear of death!

Do you want to continue like this?

Even if you die, do you have to be poked in the back?

When later generations mention Li Jinglong, is it a shame?

No!

I, Li Jinglong, am the son of Li Wenzhong, why should I bear such infamy.

"Out of town! Meet the enemy! ”

Li Jinglong shouted loudly.

"General, you can't go out of the city, if you are defeated, what will happen to the people of this city."

The general persuaded on the side.

"Could it be that General Ben watched these civilians being slaughtered by a group of pirates and was indifferent? Can you bear it! We are Ming soldiers, why are we greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

Li Jinglong's eyes were red, and Esteri roared, venting the grief and anger in his heart over the years.

Above the city walls, there is no sound!

Beneath the city walls, the gunfire continued.

Male blood, at this moment, excite!

"yes, I can't stand it! I can't bear to see the people die in front of me, so I might as well go into battle and kill the enemy!" ”

A soldier raised his right hand. "I'm going out with the general to kill the enemy!"

Another soldier shouted: "That's right! Go out with the general to kill the enemy and fight with them! ”

The hearts of the people are long, and every soldier can't stand to watch the people being slaughtered under the city walls.

Looking at it like this, what kind of face will it have in the future to face the people?

"Kill! Fight the enemy! Fight the enemy!!! ”

All the soldiers raised their right hands and shouted loudly.

At this time, the magistrate of this county ran up to the city wall, and he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

He was followed by thousands of ordinary people in the city.

The magistrate said loudly: "General Li, don't worry, this official has gathered the people who volunteered to defend the city and went to the city wall to defend the city." ”

At this time, the people climbed the city wall one after another.

"Yes, we can't watch the dog thieves of the Wa Kingdom kill our Ming people."

"General Li, don't worry, we will defend the city wall."

"My sister is still down there, begging General Li to let them in, I am willing to defend the city for General Li"

"I'm willing to defend the city to the death!!"

The people shouted loudly one by one, looking at Li Jinglong with expectant eyes.

The prosperity of the country is the responsibility of the husband.

The common people are also bloody!!

"Good."

Li Jinglong was speechless for a while, it turned out that when he decided to sacrifice his life for righteousness, he would get such support!

"Out of the city to meet the enemy!"

Li Jinglong resolutely drew his sword, "I, Li Jinglong, swear to fight to the end in the bloody battle of the Japanese invaders today, and never take a step back, if I die here, the righteousness will also be great!" ”

"The general is mighty!"

All the soldiers shouted.

The voice resounded in the sky——

Boom.

The gates of Cixi City opened.

Li Jinglong rode a horse and led the soldiers out, and the people outside the city saw hope.

"All the people are in the city quickly!!" Li Jinglong yelled.

When the people saw that the gate was finally opened, they rushed toward it.

"Haha. The Ming army finally couldn't help but open the city gate, brothers, kill it! ”

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, the leader of the Japanese invaders, Otani Yeaki, brandished his katana and shouted.

"Kill!! Kill!!! Kill!!! ”

"Kill into the city and occupy this city, the Ming army will not help us!"

"Hahaha, hurry up and kill it, if you enter the city, it will be our world."

The Japanese robbers held their katanas in their palms and looked crazy.

During this time, the Japanese were driven around like lost dogs by Li Xiao's army, and now they have finally found an outlet to vent.

Like mad dogs, the pirates rushed towards the city gates.

"All the soldiers obey the order!"

Li Jinglong rode to the front, waving the spear in his hand, at this moment, he seemed to have gained a new life and said goodbye to his past self.

"Swear to stop the Japanese and cover the people into the city. Kill! ”

Dressed in silver armor and spear in hand, he rushed to the first.

"Kill!!"

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rushed over, and the two sides rushed together, killing together.

Li Jinglong rushed into the depths of the enemy line.

He killed the enemy with all his strength, and his spear was swirled, and the head rolled off.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Two quarters of an hour later.

Under the siege of Li Jinglong leading the soldiers to kill and stop, the people successfully entered the city.

Kotani Yehuang found that he had an advantage, but he couldn't kill it.

The Ming army in front of him suddenly felt like eating gunpowder, fighting regardless of his life

Kotani Yehuang frowned, could it be that he killed the people and made them like this?

Boom!

All the people successfully entered the city, and the gates were closed.

Li Jinglong's troops outside the city instantly became a lone army.

There is death and no life, Li Jinglong did not plan to go back alive the moment he left the city.

"Damn! Damn, the gates are closed again! ”

Xiao Tani Yehuang was so angry that their artillery was lost by Li Xiao's cavalry, and as soon as the city gate was closed, it was difficult to attack the city.

"Kill them, kill them for me!"

Kotani Yehuang also fell into madness, commanding all the Japanese to kill Li Jinglong's army.

The two sides are fighting, flesh and blood fighting!

Fall, fall, fall!

Li Jinglong saw the soldiers around him fall one by one.

There is no way, these soldiers have been farming military fields on weekdays, and they have not trained much, so they are no opponents at all against these fierce Japanese robbers.

"Kill, never retreat!"

Li Jinglong took a spear and killed wildly, he knew that every time he killed one more would, the soldiers would be able to die one less person.

But there are too many Japanese robbers, and they go forward and follow each other

The number of defenders was decreasing frantically, more and more people were falling, and Li Jinglong was also covered in blood and scarred

"General Lee, soldiers."

The people on the city wall, seeing this scene, couldn't help but burst into tears.

Half an hour passed.

An hour passed.

Two hours passed.

It's been two hours since I was killed.

None of the soldiers retreated and fought hard!

However. The encirclement is shrinking.

There were less than 300 soldiers left

And so on,

Everyone, including General Lee, is going to die under the city.

But the gates were closed and could not be opened.

For the sake of the people, they sacrificed their lives for righteousness, and blocked the way of the Japanese with their lives.

Some people closed their eyes and couldn't bear to look at it.

Some of the people looked at the dead soldiers and wept silently.

Some of the people prayed with their hands to the sky, God, help us.

At this time.

Li Jinglong was exhausted.

His eyes were blurred with blood, and his eyes seemed to be shrouded in a red mist, and he couldn't see the figure in front of him clearly.

I Li Jinglong did my best.

It's good to die like this.

finally

Are you going to die?

Li Jinglong felt his consciousness gradually blurred, and he was powerless to wield the silver spear his father left for him, and the red tassel of the spear head had withered

He gritted his teeth and still used his last strength to kill the enemy.

However, at this time.

Li Jinglong was in a trance, as if he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

He also heard a familiar shout.

"Kill the enemy, leave no !!"

Then he heard the cheers of the people on the city walls.

"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!"

"It's them, the black iron knights who terrify the Japanese invaders!"

"It's coming, reinforcements are coming, General Lee, they're saved. God willing, God willing"

Li Jinglong grinned.

Is this a dying hallucination?

The spear was out of his hand, and he could no longer stand, and slowly rolled off his horse.

In five years, he felt like he had never smiled so relaxedly.

Die like this,

I don't think anyone will ever scold me again
