Chapter Seventy-Four: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

"Brother" Yamazaki Ryu also took his broken arm and walked back to the cottage in Matou Mountain. As soon as I entered the walled gate, I saw my brother Yamazaki Ryujin standing in front of the hall.

"Coming back?" Yamazaki Ryuma seemed to be completely oblivious to his brother's injury, and just said something flat.

In the square in front of the hall, all the samurai under their command were gathered, either standing or standing, and they did not form any formation, but each silently wiped his sword.

"Has the White Lotus Sect arranged them all?" Ryuyuya Yamazaki nodded.

"Rest assured, they were all arranged in the Suzhou area. I heard that it was beautiful and good there. Ryuma Yamazaki squinted his eyes, "Today's night sky is also beautiful, very good"

"Yes"

I don't know if they noticed the stars in the sky. ”

"Yes. ”

"Life is like the splendor of summer flowers, and death is like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves. This is my favorite poem. Ryuma Yamazaki muttered, "Although my opinion is the opposite. ”

"A true samurai should aspire to the opposite of the life, where the world is peaceful and the people are happy. If you can't, you will fight for it with your life. Therefore, for us, it is right to be born like autumn leaves and die like summer flowers. ”

Ryuya Yamazaki was silent for a moment and said, "They will live well." ”

"If we die well tonight"

"Yes. ”

At the foot of Matou Mountain, the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect gathered together and looked at the verdant Matou Mountain in front of them.

The mountain is deserted, and there are no birds, beasts, and insects. On the contrary, there was some strange breath, which made their scalps numb and chilled. Experienced people know that this feeling is called murderous.

Everyone was silent, just clenching their weapons tightly.

In this kind of large-scale fighting, they may know that their side can win, but they are not sure if they will survive. If you die, what is the difference between victory and defeat?

It is impossible to leave nature, the people in the rivers and lakes care most about their face, since they have come, what they can do is to kill and survive.

"For the Central Plains martial arts, for the safety of the world," Yue Songting said loudly, "Tonight, I will advance and retreat with all the heroes!"

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing sounded and spread towards the dark Matou Mountain。。。。。。

There was no obstacle on the mountain road, and in the blink of an eye, the martial arts heroes collided with the Japanese warriors who were waiting in the cottage!

The interweaving of blood and fire played a cruel symphony under the light of the stars and moon in the sky.

Xu Ruyi slashed with a sword in his hand, fighting at the forefront, but he looked back from time to time, he was looking for Ren Xiao's figure, he had been taken by Yue Songting and Master Huizhen before, and he couldn't take Ren Xiao with him, so he had to hand over Ren Xiao to Wang Jin and the three to take care of. But when people are not around, it is always uneasy. But the scene was so chaotic that God knows where Ren Xiao and the three of them were. This made Xu Ruyi feel irritable, and it was more than this one thing that bothered him...

"That's not right!" Xu Ruyi's heart became more and more uneasy, "There must be something wrong!" This uneasiness made him a little irritable.

It was so smooth that when they arrived, the gates of the cottage were not closed, they were wide open, and all the enemies were waiting in the square inside the village, they were prepared! They were waiting for their own arrival!

This expression of seeing death as home, this way of playing with the same end, they must have some purpose!

If they just silently gathered on this Matou Mountain, it might not even attract the attention of the martial arts people.

But they first sent people to challenge, arousing the anger of their own side, and then they fought hard here and here, what are they trying to do?!

The shouts of killing on Matou Mountain did not reach the quiet Pingshan County.

Pingshan County is located on the border of Xuzhou Prefecture, and it is also one of the cities and counties affected by the disaster, because of the early opportunity, so most of the people in the county have already fled before the government blocked the road, and now there are only a few hundred old and weak women and children left in the village, and they cannot walk. They all stayed at home honestly, the doors were closed, and the windows were tightly closed. There is an order from the government to curfew tonight. What is the curfew in a small village? They don't quite understand, but they just have to be obedient, otherwise, the big-headed soldiers and generals at the entrance of the village will not look like good people.

In the open space outside the village, the most elite 7,000 troops under the command of Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, were already in full array.

They arrived three days earlier, and after three days of rest, they were in the best condition.

It is their duty to fight, and they have nothing to fear when they fight anyone.

Just waiting for the general's order, he went to Matou Mountain.

A member of the "Da Shuai" came to the Shuai flag, "Do you want to leave now?"

Zhou Ji looked at him, and then said, "Wait"

"It's okay!" Not far away, Zhang Zheng came on horseback, and before anyone arrived, the sound came first.

"Have the White Lotus Sect cultists already gone up the mountain?" Zhou Ji looked at Zhang Zheng and asked in a deep voice.

"Not bad" Zhang Zheng didn't say much, and he didn't need to say more. Jinyiwei's information, others only need to believe it.

"Okay!" Zhou Ji shouted, and waved the flag, "Order, target Matou Mountain, the whole army will attack!"

"Yes!"

"In this battle, there will be no survivors!"

The mighty army is gone.

"Lord He" Zhu Chun looked at He Bin, who was fidgeting in front of him, and said with some dissatisfaction, "What are you still worried about?"

"Xiaguan... Xiaguan... He Bin couldn't say it, but he was uneasy about the war itself.

"What are you afraid of" Zhu Chun's cold voice sounded, "Zhou Ji is a general under my command, and the seven thousand soldiers under his command are elite, and the total number of Japanese Bandits on Matou Mountain plus the White Lotus Sect is only two or three thousand. There is also Jinyiwei secretly cooperating, this battle is foolproof, rest assured. ”

"Let the prince smile" He Bin picked up the tea cup on the tea table, took a sip, and barely calmed down.

"You, you," Zhu Chun stretched out his hand and pointed at He Bin, "The stage in the front hall has been set up, so let this king play a song with you, and ambush on all sides, okay?"

"This... He Bin didn't have the heart to listen to the play, but Zhu Chun had already left first, and he couldn't do it, so he had to shake his head and follow.

In the nameless village of Matou Mountain, stumps and broken bones flew around, screaming miserably.

The situation is a little anxious, but in general, the Japanese side is at a disadvantage.

Although the number of Japanese warriors is relatively large, the heroes of the rivers and lakes are superior, although both sides are prepared, but the difference in strength can not be made up by the number of a few hundred.

"Retreat into the cave and hold on!" Yamazaki Ryuma shouted, and then retreated back to the village.

All the Japanese obeyed Yamazaki Ryujin's orders, fought and retreated, heading towards the cave behind the cottage.

"Drink!" Yue Songting disemboweled a widow in front of him with a sword, and then shouted loudly: "Friends, the enemy's defeat has been decided, and he is about to retreat into a cave to defend it!

"En?" Yue Songting frowned and lowered his head, a pair of hands was holding his own feet, his eyes had lost their brilliance, it was the warrior who was disemboweled.

"Hmph" with a sword in his hand, cutting off his hand, Yue Songting strode forward, chasing after the enemy who was retreating towards the village.

Surrounded by the crowd, Xu Ruyi pulled Ren Xiao and helplessly followed.

In this chaotic situation, no one thought about why Yamazaki Ryuzane's order to retreat was said in Chinese...
