Chapter 423. Annihilation of the Japanese army

The high-ranking samurai rushed to the front of the martial arts with a scream of the Japanese sword monster, and shouted, and the Japanese sword slashed from top to bottom, extremely fast, and fierce, this Japanese warrior's martial arts were extraordinary. Takeshi dodged sideways, and the sword slashed in front of him, and Takeshi stretched out his left arm and grabbed the wrists of the warrior. The samurai only felt as if his wrists were being clamped by iron pincers, and he couldn't break free for a while. At this moment, I suddenly saw a flash of cold light, and I saw the opponent's long knife slashing horizontally. The Japanese warrior was so frightened that he wanted to raise his sword to block, but his wrists were clamped by the other party and he couldn't pull it back at all. When it was too late, the cold light swept by, and in the midst of the blood and water, a great head flew into the sky.

Wu Xing threw the headless corpse of the samurai to the ground, looking towards the battlefield, the attack of the Japanese people had been thwarted, and they were constantly retreating, Yan Yun Mi Wei quickly narrowed the encirclement with a repeating crossbow and shot at the same time, and his ears were full of the sharp whistling of crossbow arrows and the screams of the Japanese people, only to see the Japanese people being shot to the ground one by one by the arrows, and the people standing were falling at a speed visible to the naked eye; The Japanese were terrified to the extreme, they had never faced such a sharp and fierce way of fighting, and they had never dreamed of it, and occasionally the Japanese people rushed towards the hidden killing as if they were crazy, but they only rushed a few steps before they were knocked to the ground by the roaring arrows.

In the blink of an eye, there were only a dozen or so people left, surrounded by more than 100 hidden killing groups in the middle of the barning field, everyone looked panicked and overwhelmed, and the surrounding hidden killers were aiming at them with crossbows, their eyes were cold.

Wu Xing shouted: "Don't live your mouth, destroy them!" When the hidden killer heard the order, he immediately pulled the trigger, and in a whooshing sound, more than a dozen widows were knocked to the ground by the rain of arrows. In the pile of corpses, several big widows were squirming, and a few secret guards stepped forward, pulled out horizontal knives and made up for each of them, and the widows did not move any more.

Seeing that the Japanese people were completely wiped out, Wu Xing immediately led the people to evacuate the village, caught up with Zhang Daniu and them, and retreated to the east of Mount Kongo. Along the way, they met many fleeing Goryeo people, and when the Goryeo people heard that these Han Chinese had killed the Japanese and saved many Goryeo women, they subconsciously took them as a dependent and joined their team, and by the next morning, the number of their team had reached several thousand. Continue to advance towards Mount Kongo, but the secret guard who was in front of the outpost suddenly reported that a group of thousands of Japanese troops appeared in the county town in front of them, slaughtering and looting.

When the people of Goryeo heard the news, they panicked and looked at Wu Xing, hoping that he would be able to lead everyone out of danger. Wu Xing's subordinates took out the map, unfolded it and examined it carefully, and found that the county town in front of them was the only way to go to Mount Kumgang, and to go to Mount Kongo, it was necessary to have the county seat of Goryeo, in other words, to go to Mount Kumgang, it was necessary to defeat the Japanese army that was slaughtering the county seat. However, there are thousands of men and horses found by the Japanese people so far, and there may be many more that have not been discovered, and it is impossible to defeat them with two hundred secret guards alone.

Zhen Riqian frowned and said: "The Japanese people have blocked the way we must pass, and we can't go to King Kong Mountain!" I didn't expect that there would be a Japanese in front? ”

Wu Xing looked at the map and frowned: "The Japanese army should not invest all their strength in the direction of Kaijing, but divide a part of the army to attack the cities around Kaijing, first, to loot money and grain to supplement military supplies, and secondly, to clear the reliance around Kaijing, so as to break through Kaijing." Zhang Daniu said: "I'm afraid that the Japanese people themselves didn't expect that Kaijing would take it down so easily." ”

Wu Xing raised his head and looked ahead, then looked at the Goryeo people around him who were looking at him, and said to Zhang Daniu Zhen Riqian: "The road ahead is not passable, so I can only change the direction." Then he pointed to the county town of Jinchuan in the north of Kaijing, and said: "Let's go north, then turn west, and go to Haizhou through Jinchuan." The main attention of the Japanese people is now on the Goryeo Emperor, and they should not pay attention to those remote cities in Haizhou for the time being. We retreated to Haizhou, and then found a way to contact King Yan and then make plans. ”

Zhang Daniu pointed at Jinchuan and frowned: "After the Japanese break through Kaijing, if they continue to advance north, they will inevitably pass through Jinchuan, and we will definitely meet the Japanese people when we pass from Jinchuan!" ”

Wu Xingdao: "First go to the vicinity of Jinchuan to hide, and then investigate the situation of the Japanese people in the Jinchuan area." The Japanese must have crossed the Gimcheon to pursue the Goryeo Emperor, and there must not be many troops left in the Gimcheon area, so we can completely avoid the Wa people passing through the Gimcheon area. Zhang Daniu and Zhen Riqian nodded.

Wu Xing glanced at the surrounding Goryeo people, and said in Goryeo: "The city in front has been captured by the Japanese people, and we plan to go north, and we are willing to follow us." After saying that, he led his men to turn around and march north. The vast majority of the people of Goryeo chose to follow them, but a small number of them did not follow, but scattered on the spot and hid in the nearby mountains.

Wu Xing and his party made their way north, collecting Goryeo refugees on the way, and by the time they arrived in the mountains and forests east of Jinchuan, the number of the group had exceeded 10,000. However, the crowd was chaotic and difficult to control, and it was discovered by the Japanese scouts in Jinchuan, and then nearly 10,000 Japanese troops rushed towards the mountains and forests where Wuxing was hiding. The situation is very critical, once the Japanese army arrives, they can certainly fight their way out of the encirclement, but the more than 10,000 Goryeo people who fled all the way with them are afraid that they will be doomed!

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the Japanese people under the mountain were getting closer and closer, Wu Xing was in a hurry, and urgently ordered dozens of his secret guards to collect a lot of cloth from the Goryeo people, and then asked his secret guards to cut these cloths into a rectangular shape, and tied them to bamboo poles, and then let dozens of secret guards take these cloths to all parts of the mountains and forests, lift them up and shake them vigorously.

Nearly 10,000 Japanese troops were rushing towards the mountains and forests, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they suddenly saw countless flags erected in the mountains and forests. At this time, the sun had set, the sky was very dark, and the soldiers of the Japanese army saw the rectangular cloth flying between the mountains and forests from a distance, and they couldn't see it at all, so they took it for granted that it was the banner of the Goryeo army. The soldiers of the Japanese army couldn't help but stop, looked towards the mountains and forests, and saw so many flags, only to feel that there were tens of thousands of Goryeo troops in the mountains and forests! Although the Japanese people looked down on the Goryeo army very much, the opponent had both an advantage in strength and a favorable terrain, and the Japanese soldiers only felt that it would be thankless to break in so recklessly.

Just when the soldiers of the Japanese army were in doubt, there were suddenly bursts of shouts from the mountain, and the momentum was not weak. The soldiers of the Japanese army under the mountain were even more surprised. Suddenly, a Japanese officer pointed into the distance and shouted, "What's that?" ”

The Japanese soldiers immediately looked in the direction of his finger and saw many dotted torches rapidly approaching Jinchuan Castle. When the Japanese generals saw this scene, they were shocked and shouted, "No, they are going to raid the city!" Quick, come back with me! As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and led his soldiers to gallop back.

The Japanese soldiers hurried back to the city, but found that the torches outside the city were fixed about two miles away, and did not continue to approach the city, let alone attack. The soldiers of the Japanese army thought that they had rushed back in time, so that the enemy had no chance to take advantage of it, and they could not help but feel very relieved.

Time passed, and the enemy outside the city never attacked. The adjutant next to the Japanese general said to the Japanese general: "Your Excellency, there don't seem to be many enemies outside the city, so let's attack!" He saw that there were only a hundred or so torches outside the city, which is why he said this.

The Japanese general vetoed his proposal and sneered: "The Koreans are playing tricks!" They deliberately lit only a few torches so that we thought they didn't have many men and lured us out of the city, and then the ambush would come out and attack us! We, the Yamato nation, are naturally not afraid of such tricks, but there is no need to jump into the trap knowing that it is a trap and pay unnecessary losses! Turning his head and glancing at the adjutant general, he said: "All teams are not allowed to fight without my orders, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law!" "Hey!" The lieutenant bowed in response.

As the night passed, the sun rose in the east, the light dispelled the darkness, and the earth quickly brightened. At this time, the Japanese soldiers on the city wall finally saw clearly where there were enemy troops outside the city, only more than 100 torches planted in the ground were still burning there.

When the Japanese soldiers saw this scene, they were all stunned and looked at each other, and the Japanese general was even more furious: "Baga! Damn the Koreans! "This Japanese general, named Kurai Mutuo, is one of the generals in the Japanese army whose status is second only to the general of Seiyi Samuro Nario, and he is also one of the so-called eight swordsmen in the Japanese army.

Kurai Mutuo turned his head and shouted from the deputy general Nishino: "Send scouts to reconnoiter the enemy's movements, they must not have gone far!" Nishino rushed and rushed down, and then saw the four gates of Jinchuan City open, and dozens of Japanese scouts galloped away from the four gates. Kurai Mutuo was full of anger, and he just wanted to break the Goryeo army that had played him into pieces.

Two hours later, a scout came galloping from the west and reported to Kurai Mutoyu: "Your Excellency, I have found traces of the enemy army eighty miles to the west, and there are more than 10,000 people, most of whom are Goryeo people!" ”

Kurai Mutuo's eyes showed a murderous look, and he said excitedly: "Yaga, look where you are running!" Then he shouted at the deputy general Nishino: "Gather the army and fight with me!" "Hey!" A moment later, 12,000 Japanese troops under the leadership of Kurai Mutuo went out of the west gate and chased them to the west, and Kurai Mutuo had already figured out how to deal with them, and he wanted to cut out the hearts of those who dared to tease him, and then boiled their hearts and distributed them to the whole army for consumption.

The army chased all the way, although they were all foot troops, but the speed was much faster than the fleeing Goryeo people, and the Goryeo people dragged their families and brought many old, weak, sick and disabled, and the speed was really not fast. The hidden killings of the sentinels in the rear kept reporting the situation of the Japanese to the three of Wu Xing, and the three of them were anxious, but it was unthinkable in the face of these Goryeo people who were out of breath with their families.

Before evening, Wu Xing and his party came to the field only thirty miles away from Haizhou, which is a large grass plain, a mountain range in the north stretches from east to west, stretching endlessly, a dense forest in the south, and a grassy slope hill in the distance in the west.

Everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace, and many people's faces showed excited smiles, only feeling that as long as they arrived in Haizhou, they would be able to escape the danger. However, at this moment, the sound of rumbling footsteps suddenly came from behind. People were shocked, and they turned their heads to look, and they saw a terrible tide of Japanese people outflanking them. The people were so frightened that they cried and ran as fast as they could, and many fell to the ground, got up and continued to run, as if the Koreans had seen a flock of wolves.

However, the Koreans failed to run away after all, and 12,000 Japanese troops rushed up and surrounded the Koreans, with swords out of their sheaths and spears like forests, reflecting pieces of cold light, and the Koreans were terrified to the extreme, hugging each other tightly, crying, and everyone's faces were full of despair.

Zhen Riqian looked at the scene in front of him, frowned, and said, "There's no way, I can't take care of these Koreans!" Zhang Daniu said angrily: "Are you scared? Zhen Riqian glanced at Zhang Daniu and said, "I'm not afraid, I just think we should make a choice at this moment!" I still say the same thing, these people are not Han Chinese, we have no responsibility to protect them, it doesn't hurt to save them when we can save them, and now we are all unable to protect ourselves, so why bother with them! ”

Zhang Daniu wanted to refute, but at this moment, a Japanese officer spoke loudly in Goryeo, and Zhang Daniu couldn't help but swallow back the words that came to his lips and listened to what the Japanese officer said. I only heard the Japanese officer raise his voice and say, "You Goryeo pariahs, you are so bold! Originally, His Excellency the General wanted to kill you all, but His Excellency the General was merciful, as long as you knelt down and begged for mercy, you could spare your lives! ”

Wu Xing squinted his eyes and said: "The Japanese people have bad intentions, I'm afraid that they are playing the trick of cat and mouse!" Yanyun people were not moved at all, but the Goryeo people couldn't help but be moved, they originally thought that they were dead, but the words of the Japanese officer gave them a glimmer of life, many Goryeo people couldn't help but kneel, these people knelt, the Goryeo people who were still hesitating couldn't help but kneel down, and for a while, more than 10,000 Goryeo people all knelt on the ground, only to see a piece of black oppression, and the voices begging for mercy came and went; However, among the more than 10,000 Goryeo people kneeling on the ground, there were more than 200 men in Han costumes, majestic and strong with swords, which were particularly conspicuous, and in addition, there were more than 20 young Goryeo women standing behind those Han people, without kneeling.

Kurai Mutuo noticed Wuxing and them, felt a little surprised, frowned slightly, and muttered, "Han? How can there be Han people here? Immediately, his heart moved, and he gave a word to the officer beside him, and the officer immediately raised his voice: "Your Excellency the general said." I could have spared you, but if you colluded with the Han people, then the sin is unforgivable! When the Koreans heard this, they panicked and kowtowed and begged for mercy, "General, we didn't know they were Han!" "If we knew that they were Han, we would never be with them even if we died!" "If the general wants to kill the Han people, just kill the Han people, we are Goryeo, and we are all innocent!" ......, the scene was chaotic, and everyone was vying to draw a line with them in order to obtain forgiveness from the Japanese people.

Seeing the Goryeo people like this, Kurai Mutuo couldn't help but feel proud and disdainful in his heart. The officer continued: "You are Koreans, and if you want to live, you can, but you must prove that you are not in collusion with the Han Chinese, so that our Excellency the General can spare your life!" ”

The Koreans looked at each other, not knowing how to prove it; Wu Xing held the hilt of the sword in his hand and whispered to the people around him: "Prepare to fight!" And they all grasped the hilt of their swords. Seeing that the Goryeo women who were rescued by them were standing behind them, Wu Xing couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and said, "You all kneel down, you don't have to give your lives with us!" Although the women were afraid, they all shook their heads firmly, and the young woman in the Japanese armor said in an extremely firm tone: "Without you, we would have died a long time ago, and we would have died a miserable death!" Your lives are saved by you, and we will never betray you! The other women nodded their heads, all frightened, but also very determined.

Wu Xing laughed, "Okay! In that case, let's live and die together! The women nodded heavily, all very excited. I only heard the Japanese officer say again: "You must prove with your actions that you have nothing to do with those Han people!" Then he stretched out his right hand and pointed at Wu Xing and them, "Kill those Han people, and Your Excellency the General will spare you!" ”

The hearts of all the Gaoli people were shocked, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Wu Xing, looking a little hesitant. Suddenly, a Goryeo man suddenly stood up and shouted: "Folks, the Han people are not our compatriots, and it is nothing to kill them!" Today, we are in this field, maybe we are harmed by these Han people! Killing them would be avenging ourselves! Many people stood up, and at the same time echoed, and then more and more Koreans stood up, shouting and shouting to kill the louder and louder, all the Koreans are very vicious, although a few Koreans feel that they should not do this, but in the face of such a situation, they dare not say anything, not to mention that they also have the faint intention of killing these Han people in exchange for their own lives.

Seeing that the Koreans and the Han people were fighting among themselves, Kurai Mutuo smiled and smiled very happily, and for him, this scene in front of him was an incomparably wonderful show.

Wu Xing and the others and those Goryeo women gathered together, and Shadow Kill slowly pulled out his horizontal sword, his eyes were cold. When the Koreans saw that they had drawn their swords and looked fierce, they did not dare to rush forward for a while, although they were outnumbered. Zhen Riqian said sarcastically to Zhang Daniu next to him: "Don't you have to protect them?" Now that they're going to kill us, what else do you have to say? Zhang Daniu scolded angrily: "These eight lambs! ”

The Goryeo woman dressed in Japanese armor said to her compatriots: "Fellow villagers, these Han people are our benefactors, and we can't take revenge!" "This Korean woman's name is Park Min, the Goryeo woman who was almost insulted in public in Panmunjom that day and was rescued later, in her twenties, quite a bit of a posture, with a very angry look between her eyebrows.

Many Koreans showed shame on their faces, and some snorted coldly and said loudly: "What a benefactor! If it weren't for them, the Japanese wouldn't have come to embarrass us! We are killed by them, they are our enemies, kill them, of course! When the Koreans heard this, the uneasiness and guilt in their hearts immediately vanished, and they all became clamoring, seeing that they were about to take action against them. At this time, the light of the setting sun was reflected on everyone's faces, and it felt that everyone was so hideous and ugly.

Yikes! A strong Goryeo man shouted, raised a firewood knife and threw himself at one of the guards. As soon as the secret guard tightened the horizontal knife in his hand, he was sure that he would cut this Korean man who did not know whether he was alive or dead. When the other Koreans saw someone rushing up, they couldn't resist the urge to rush up.

Whoosh, smack! The two sounds sounded almost simultaneously, and a sharp arrow flew through the air and knocked the firewood knife in the hand of the strong man of Goryeo into the air. The Koreans were stunned by this sudden scene, and couldn't help but look in the direction where the arrow was flying. I saw a knight with his back to the setting sun on the hill to the west, he had his back to the setting sun, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but it gave people an extremely powerful feeling, like a god of war who suddenly fell from the sky.

When the Japanese people saw him, they couldn't help but be shocked. Kurai Mutuo frowned and muttered, "Baga, pretend to be a ghost!" Having said that, he did not dare to slack off in his heart and raised his vigilance.

At this moment, countless black knights appeared behind the knight, arranged in several horizontal rows, black shadows were heavy, and no sound was made. Everyone present couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.

Realizing that a strong enemy had appeared, Kurai Mutuo immediately ignored the Goryeo and Han people here, and ordered all the soldiers to assemble to the west to meet the battle.

12,000 Japanese soldiers quickly withdrew from the encirclement of the Goryeo and gathered to the west, forming a large phalanx. At the front were the pikemen, known in Japan as spear ashigaru, the lowest infantry, followed by archers and arrows, and hundreds of samurai gathered in the center, supporting their commander, Kurai Muto.

In the distance, the horses slowly activated, and they descended from the hillside to the plain. At this time, Kurai Mutuo saw clearly that although the enemy cavalry that came gave people a very strong feeling, the number was not large, only about 2,000 people. Kurai Mutuo couldn't help but increase his confidence, and his soldiers couldn't help but double their confidence.

The horsemen approached the Japanese battle formation at a not-so-fast speed, and were arranged in three horizontal rows. As they continued to approach, the Japanese only felt a momentum coming towards them, stronger and stronger, more and more aggressive, and the Japanese soldiers couldn't help but hold their breath.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
