Chapter 105: The Dragon King's Clever Plan to Settle the World
The "Black Dragon Army" forward battalion of 300 Japanese invaders won first and then defeated under the city of Jiaxing, although the 800 Ming troops defending the city were slaughtered close companions, but because Yu Tianlai, Qiu Moyan and Fan Guang suddenly appeared to stir up the situation, the result was a loss of more than 30% of the troops, and the ape flew to the sun and the moon, which was a congenital master who played a pivotal role in the "Black Dragon Army", and even ended up with no bones.
Although Miyuki Asahara, who had no choice but to retreat after measuring the situation, did not leave Jiaxing, but found a place to camp ten miles away from the city. In the next day, several groups of men and horses rushed to join him, and the strength of the army soared to 5,000 people, and the momentum was extremely huge.
At this time, Fan Guang had already taken over the defense of Jiaxing with the warrant of Yang Yuxuan handed over by Zhou Huai'an, and Yu Tianlai and Qiu Moyan helped from the side. Because the Ming army also suffered heavy losses in the battle a few days ago, Fan Guang recruited strong men in the city to enrich the strength of the city, and on the other hand, he and Liu Qian jointly sent several urgent letters to Yang Yuxuan asking for help, asking him to send troops to help quickly.
The people and horses assembled by the "Black Dragon Army" are still led by Miyuki Asahara, and the "Dragon King" Zhang Zilie did not show up. This woman is quite a soldier, although she has just suffered a heavy setback, but she is not in a hurry to raise troops to attack the city to take revenge on the shame, but methodically cut down trees and quarry stones to build siege equipment, but sent several elite teams to block the various transportation arteries leading from Jiaxing to the outside world, and all people who come and go will be killed regardless of reason.
In this way, the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Jiaxing City feel that the heavy pressure has doubled, and fortunately, Fan Guangzhi has the law to govern the army, defends the city in a good way, and has the foundation of the previous victory, which can barely stabilize the situation without chaos. However, with the current morale and strength in the city, no matter how Fan Guang used his troops like a god, there was no possibility of taking the initiative to attack, so he could only sit back and watch the enemy build equipment and prepare to attack the city in the coming day.
For a while, the two sides maintained a delicate balance and calm, and if they wanted to break it, it would only depend on whether the reinforcements of the Ming army arrived first, or whether the "Black Dragon Army" took the first step to build siege equipment.
Just when a confrontation situation was formed on the side of Jiaxing City and attracted everyone's attention, under the city of Suzhou, nearly two hundred miles north of Jiaxing, a team of about 500 people was advancing on foot under the cover of night, quietly approaching the east gate of Suzhou.
The leader of this group was a black-robed man over forty years old. He was emaciated and had a clear face, and if he hadn't hung a black sheath and a thick-backed broadsword on his back, he would definitely be regarded as a teacher and other figures.
Beside this man, there was another monk and a layman, and two men followed closely half a step behind.
The monk was in his forties, burly and fierce, at least half a head taller than everyone around him, and on his head, which had not been shaved for some days, he had a layer of short hair like steel needles, and his cheeks were covered with beards. He hung a rosary made of forty-eight skeletons made of stainless steel around his neck, and in his right hand he carried a heavy iron Zen staff six feet long.
The layman on the other side was also in his forties, with a long sword hanging from his waist. His appearance is quite similar to that of the black-robed man, but there is no calmness and coldness of the black-robed man between his eyebrows, but a little more jumpy and flying.
The five hundred or so people behind these three people were all middle-aged men over thirty years old and under forty years old, they were all wearing black power suits, with thick back long knives of the same style as the black-robed man on their backs, and their eyebrows were full of fierce energy.
Seeing that the city gate of Suzhou was already in sight, under the dim lights of the city, a group of soldiers guarding the city could be faintly seen patrolling back and forth.
Seeing this, the monk chuckled and said, "It seems that there is no defense in Suzhou City, and the Dragon King's plan to attack the east and west has really taken effect!"
The man on the other side also smiled: "We got the news in advance that the Ming troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been transferred to Jiaxing at this moment, and it is reasonable that the defense of Suzhou City is empty." ”
The black-robed man said solemnly: "Don't be careless, Zijun, you personally lead a team of 'Flying Dragon Guards' to sneak into the city, make sure there is no problem, and then take out those guards and open the city gate, and accept Brother Wei and Master Tan Gang into the city." ”
"Don't worry, eldest brother, junior brother will do things properly!" The man patted his chest and promised, beckoned behind him, and then twenty men in black walked out, followed him, lowered his body, performed the technique of ambushing the snake, and sneaked towards the gate of Suzhou City.
"People who are dozens of years old are still so frizzy. The black-robed man shook his head and sighed.
The monk called "Tan Gang" chuckled and said, "Actually, this is also a good thing. For the dragon king, although the big guy is in awe, he is also a little less intimate because of this, and the true temperament of the second master can just be used as an adjustment to make up for it. ”
These three people are naturally the three core giants of the "Black Dragon Society", the "Dragon King" Zhang Zilie, the "Mad Monk" Tan Gang and Zhang Zilie's brother "Ghost Sword" Zhang Zijun.
In recent years, Zhang Zilie felt that the development of the "Black Dragon Army" had reached a bottleneck, and if he wanted to expand further, he needed to find another direction. A few years ago, Miyuki Asahara, who joined the "Black Dragon Army" with Ape Fei Sun and Moon and later gradually grew into one of the core leaders of the "Black Dragon Army", proposed that she want to invite the "Black Dragon Army" to enter the Japanese Kingdom as the only heir of the Asahara family in order to compete for hegemony, and only put forward the condition that Zhang Zilie should marry her as his wife.
Zhang Zilie has a deep understanding of the woman who has grown up with his own eyes, and knows that she has both ambition and the ability to match her ambition, and she is not a person who is willing to be lonely. This suggestion also has the intention of using the power of the "Black Dragon Army" to restore the glory of her Asahara family. But I have to say that this suggestion really moved him, if he can unify the Japanese kingdom and become an overseas emperor, it is not much inferior to the ancestors who once divided one side and competed with Zhu Yuanzhang for the world. As for marrying Miyuki Asahara, although there are many women around him, he has never officially married a wife, since he wants to use the name of the Asahara family, what does it matter if he marries her?
After determining the direction of development, Zhang Zilie began to plan the layout. Although the territory of the Japanese Kingdom is small and difficult to compare with Middle-earth, the battle for the seizure of the country is not trivial after all, and the manpower and material resources required are incalculable, and the accumulation of the "Black Dragon Army" for many years is still far from enough. Therefore, Zhang Zilie naturally thought of the great treasure with a large number of treasures and armor buried in Suzhou before the fall of his ancestors, so he designed this plan to attack the east and the west.
A moment later, Zhang Zilie saw a little fire lit up on the tower of Suzhou City from a distance, moving down three times and left and right three times in the dark night. He was overjoyed in his heart, which was the secret sign of the previous agreement with Zhang Zijun.
"Full speed ahead!" he waved forward with a low snort, and took the lead in spreading his body and flying in the direction of the city gates.
"Mad Monk" Tan Gang and the five hundred men who belonged to the first elite "Flying Dragon Guard" in the "Black Dragon Army" followed closely behind.
When everyone arrived at the city, they saw that the city gate had been opened, and Zhang Zijun was standing in front of the gate with a sword to greet him, and said with a smile: "Big brother, everything is going well!"
Zhang Zilie pulled out the thick-backed long knife behind his backhand with his backhand, and the blade pointed at the city and shouted: "Enter the city!"
Then he stepped into this famous city in the south of the Yangtze River where his ancestors had built the capital and called the emperor.
