The senior warrior held up the Japanese sword and rushed to Wu Xing with a strange cry. With a loud shout, the Japanese sword slashed from top to bottom. The speed was extremely fast and the momentum was fierce. This Japanese warrior's martial arts skills were extraordinary. Wu Xing turned sideways to avoid it, and the Japanese sword struck him in front of him. Wu Xing stretched out his left arm and grabbed the Japanese warrior's wrists. The Japanese warrior felt as if his wrists were clamped by iron pincers, and he could not break free for a while. At this moment, he suddenly saw a flash of cold light, and saw the opponent slashing across with a long sword. The Japanese warrior was so frightened that he wanted to block with his sword, but his wrists were trapped by the opponent and he couldn't withdraw at all. Soon enough, cold light passed by, blood surged wildly, and a big head flew into the sky.
Wu Xing threw the warrior's headless corpse to the ground and looked towards the battlefield. The Japanese offensive had been defeated and they were retreating. Yanyun's secret guard held a repeating crossbow and quickly narrowed the encirclement and fired at the same time. His ears were filled with the sharp sound of the crossbow arrows. With the sound of whistling and the screams of the Japanese, I saw that the Japanese were knocked to the ground one by one by powerful arrows, and the standing people were falling down at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Japanese were extremely frightened. They had never faced such a sharp and cruel attack. I have never seen such a fighting method in my dreams. Occasionally, Japanese people would rush towards Yinsha like crazy, but after only taking a few steps, they would be shot to the ground by powerful arrows whizzing towards them.
In the blink of an eye, only a dozen of the hundreds of Japanese were left. They were surrounded by more than a hundred hidden killers in the middle of the grain drying field. Everyone looked frightened and at a loss, while the surrounding hidden killers were holding crossbows at each other. Target them with cold eyes.
Wu Xing shouted: "Kill them alive, kill them!" Upon hearing the order, Zhong Yinsha immediately pulled the trigger. In a burst of whooshing sound, a dozen Japanese were knocked to the ground by a hail of arrows. In the pile of corpses, several Japanese who were alive were squirming. A few secret guards stepped forward, drew out their horizontal knives and gave each of them a blow, and those few Japanese stopped making any movement.
Seeing that the Japanese were completely wiped out, Wu Xing immediately led the hidden soldiers to evacuate the village, caught up with Zhang Daniu and others, and retreated to Mount Kumgang in the east. Along the way, they met many Korean people who were fleeing. When the Korean people heard that these Han people had killed the Japanese and saved many Korean women, they subconsciously regarded them as their support and joined their ranks. The next morning, The number of Wu Xing's team reached several thousand. Continuing to advance towards Mount Kumgang, however, the secret guards sent out in front suddenly reported that a group of thousands of Japanese troops had appeared in the county town ahead and were killing and looting.
When the people of Goryeo heard the news, they immediately panicked and looked at Wu Xing, hoping that he could lead everyone out of danger. Wu Xingming's men took out the map, unfolded it and looked at it carefully. They found that the county in front was the only way to get to Mount Kumgang. To get to Mount Kumgang, you had to go to the county town of Korea. In other words, to get to Mount Kumgang, you had to go to that county. The Japanese army that was massacring and plundering that county must be defeated. However, the Japanese have discovered thousands of men and horses so far, and there may be more that have not been discovered. Just the thousands of Japanese who have been discovered, it is impossible to defeat them with about two hundred secret guards.
Zhen Rigan frowned and said, "The Japanese are blocking the only way, so we can't go to Mount Kong! Who would have thought that there would be Japanese in front of us?"
Wu Xing looked at the map and frowned and said: "When the Japanese marched, they should not have put all their efforts in the direction of Kaijing. Instead, they divided a part of the army to attack the cities around Kaijing. Firstly, they looted money and food to replenish military supplies. Secondly, they also wanted to clear out the enemy. We need to rely on the people around Kaijing in order to attack Kaijing." Zhang Daniu said: "I'm afraid the Japanese themselves didn't expect that Kaijing could be taken down so easily."
Wu Xing raised his head and looked ahead, then looked at the Korean people around him who were looking eagerly at him, and said to Zhang Daniu and Zhen Rigan: "The road ahead is impassable, so we have to change the direction." Then he pointed to the north of Kaijing. Jinchuan County, said: "Let's go north, then turn west, and go to Haizhou via Jinchuan. The Japanese's main attention is now on the Emperor of Goryeo, and they should not pay attention to the remote cities in Haizhou for the time being. . Let’s retreat to Haizhou, then find a way to contact King Yan, and then make plans.”
Zhang Daniu pointed at Jinchuan and frowned: "After the Japanese invade Kaijing, if they continue to advance north, they will definitely pass through Jinchuan. If we pass through Jinchuan, we will definitely encounter the Japanese!"
Wu Xingdao: "First go to Jinchuan to hide, and then investigate the situation of the Japanese in the Jinchuan area. The Japanese must have crossed Jinchuan to pursue the Emperor of Goryeo. There must not be many troops left in the Jinchuan area. We can completely avoid the Japanese and pass through the Jinchuan area." ." Zhang Daniu and Zhen Rigan nodded.
Wu Xing glanced at the Goryeo people around him and said in a loud voice in Goryeo: "The city in front has been captured by the Japanese. We plan to go north. Those who are willing to follow us will come with us." After speaking, he led his men back. Head north. Most of the people in Goryeo chose to follow Wu Xing and the others, but a small number of people did not follow. Instead, they scattered and hid in the nearby mountains.
Wu Xing and his party went all the way north, gathering Korean refugees on the road. When they arrived in the mountains and forests east of Jinchuan, the number of people in the team exceeded 10,000. However, the crowd was chaotic and difficult to control. As a result, they were discovered by Japanese scouts from Jinchuan, and then nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers rushed toward the mountain forest where Wu Xing and others were hiding. The situation is very critical. Once the Japanese army arrives, Wu Xing and the others can break out of the siege, but the more than 10,000 Korean people who followed them to flee will probably be doomed!
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the Japanese at the foot of the mountain were getting closer and closer, Wu Xing was so anxious that he quickly ordered his dozens of secret guards to collect a lot of cloth from the people of Goryeo, and then asked his secret guards to cut these cloths into rectangular shapes, and They were tied to bamboo poles, and dozens of secret guards were asked to carry the cloths to various places in the mountains and forests, lift them up and shake them vigorously.
Nearly ten thousand Japanese troops were running toward the mountains and forests. They were surprised when they suddenly saw countless flags erected in the mountains and forests. At this time, the sun had set and the sky was very dark. The Japanese soldiers saw the rectangular cloth flying among the mountains and forests in the distance. They couldn't see it clearly, so they took it for granted that it was the flag of the Goryeo Army. The Japanese soldiers couldn't help but stopped and looked into the mountains and forests. Seeing so many flags, they felt that there might not be tens of thousands of Korean troops in the mountains and forests! Although the Japanese looked down upon the Goryeo army, the enemy had superior strength and a favorable terrain. The Japanese soldiers felt that it would be thankless to rush in so recklessly.
Just when the Japanese soldiers were in shock and confusion, bursts of shouts suddenly came from the mountain, and the sound was very powerful. The Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain were even more surprised. Suddenly, a Japanese officer pointed into the distance and shouted, "What is that?"
The Japanese soldiers immediately looked in the direction of his finger and saw many dots of torches approaching Jinchuan City quickly. Seeing this scene, the Japanese general was horrified and shouted: "No, they are going to raid the city! Quick, come with me to come back for reinforcements!" After saying that, he turned his horse's head and led his soldiers back at a gallop.
The Japanese soldiers hurried back to the city, only to find that the torch outside the city was fixed about two miles away, and they did not continue to approach the city, let alone launch an attack. The Japanese soldiers thought that they had rushed back in time and that the enemy had no chance to take advantage of them, and they couldn't help but feel relieved.
Time passed continuously, and the enemies outside the city never launched an attack. The lieutenant next to the Japanese general said to the Japanese general: "Your Excellency, there don't seem to be many enemies outside the city. Why don't we attack?" He saw only more than a hundred torches lit outside the city, so he said this.
The Japanese general rejected his proposal and sneered: "The Koreans are playing a trick! They deliberately lit only a few torches to make us think they don't have many people and lure us out of the city, and then the ambush troops will come out to attack us!" Naturally, our Yamato nation is not afraid of such tricks, but there is no need to jump into the trap knowing it is a trap and pay unnecessary losses!" He turned to look at the deputy general and said seriously: "Each team is not allowed to go into battle without my order, otherwise Military justice!" "Hi!" the deputy general bowed and responded.
The dark night gradually passed, the sun rose from the east, the light dispelled the darkness, and the earth quickly became bright. At this time, the Japanese soldiers on the city wall finally saw clearly that there were no enemy troops outside the city. Only more than a hundred torches stuck on the ground were still burning there.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese generals looked at each other in shock, and the Japanese general was even more furious: "Baga! Damn Koreans!" The Japanese general's name was Cangjing Mutuo, and he was the second-largest person in the Japanese army. One of the generals of Sasuro Shigeo, the general who conquered the barbarians, was also one of the so-called eight swordsmen in the Japanese army. He had always been proud and arrogant, but now he was deceived by his opponent's little tricks for an entire night. How could he not be angry? Fill in the blanks.
Cangjing Mutuo turned to his deputy general Nishino and shouted: "Send scouts to detect the enemy's movements. They must not have gone far!" Nishino responded and hurried down. Then he saw the four gates of Jinchuan City opened and dozens of Japanese scouts. It sped away from the four doors. Cangjing Mutuo was filled with rage and just wanted to cut into pieces the Koryo army who had tricked him.
Two hours later, a scout came flying from the west and reported to Cangjing Mutuo: "Sir, I found traces of enemy troops eighty miles away to the west. There are more than ten thousand people, most of whom are Goryeo people! "
There was a ferocious look in Cangjing Mutuo's eyes, and he said excitedly: "Baga, look where you are running!" Then he shouted to his deputy, Xiye Chong: "Gather the army and follow me to fight!" "Hi!" After a moment, a Twelve thousand Japanese troops led by Cangjing Mutuo left the west city gate and chased towards the west. Cangjing Mutuo had already figured out how to deal with them. He wanted to disembowel all those who dared to tease him, and then Their hearts were boiled and distributed to the entire army.
The army pursued them all the way. Although they were all infantry, their speed was much faster than that of the fleeing Goryeo people. The Goryeo people had their families and many old, weak, sick and disabled, so the speed was really slow. Hidden Kill, who was in charge of the sentinel in the rear, kept reporting the situation of the Japanese to the three people of Wu Xing. The three people of Wu Xing were anxious, but faced with these Korean people who were dragging their families and panting, they couldn't think of anything.
Before evening, Wu Xing and his party came to the wilderness only thirty miles away from Haizhou. It was a large grassy plain, with a mountain range stretching from east to west on the northern horizon, and a large dense forest in the south. There is a grassy hill in the distance to the west. Once you climb the hill, you can see Haizhou City on the seaside.
Everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace, and many people had excited smiles on their faces, feeling that they could escape the danger as long as they reached Haizhou. However, at this moment, rumble of footsteps suddenly came from behind. People were startled and turned their heads to look, and saw the terrifying Japanese people surrounding them like a tide. People were so scared that they cried and ran away desperately. Many people fell to the ground, got up and continued running. The Koreans were like sheep after seeing wolves.
However, the Koreans failed to escape after all. Twelve thousand Japanese troops caught up and surrounded the Koreans. Their swords were unsheathed and their spears were like a forest, reflecting patches of cold light. The Koreans were extremely frightened and clung to each other. They hugged each other, crying, and everyone's face was full of despair.
Zhen Riqian looked at the scene in front of him and frowned: "I have no choice but to 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 feel that we should make a choice at this moment! I still say the same thing, these people are not Han people, we have no responsibility to protect them, and there is no harm in saving them when we can. Now we can't protect ourselves, so why bother Leave them alone!”
Zhang Daniu wanted to refute, but at this moment, a Japanese officer spoke loudly in Korean. Zhang Daniu couldn't help but swallow the words on his lips and listen to what the Japanese officer said. The Japanese officer raised his voice and said: "You Koryeo untouchables are so brave! Originally, the General wanted to kill you all, but the General was so compassionate that as long as you kneel down and beg for mercy, your lives will be spared." !”
Wu Xing squinted his eyes and said: "The Japanese have bad intentions, I'm afraid they are playing cat and mouse tricks!" Everyone in Yanyun was not moved at all, but the people of Goryeo could not help but be moved. They originally thought that they were dead. However, the words of the Japanese officer gave them a glimmer of hope. Many Korean people couldn't help but kneel down. As soon as these people knelt down, the Koreans who were still hesitating also knelt down. In an instant, more than ten thousand Koreans all knelt down. Kneeling on the ground, all they could see was darkness and voices begging for mercy one after another. However, among the more than 10,000 Koreans kneeling on the ground, there stood about 200 majestic and sturdy men in Han attire with weapons. The big man was particularly conspicuous. In addition, there were more than twenty young Korean women standing behind the Han men without kneeling.
Cangjing Mutuo noticed Wu Xing and the others and felt a little surprised. He frowned slightly and murmured: "Han people? Why are there Han people here?" Then his heart moved and he gave an order to the officer beside him. The officer immediately raised his eyebrows. He said: "Your Excellency, the General, has said it. You could have been spared, but you actually colluded with the Han people. That is an unforgivable crime!" When the Koreans heard this, they immediately panicked and kowtowed to beg for mercy. General, we didn’t know they were Han Chinese!” “If we knew they were Han Chinese, we would never be with them even if we died!” “If the general wants to kill Han people, just kill Han people. We are Koreans and we are all innocent. "Yeah!"... The scene was in chaos, with everyone scrambling to draw a clear line with Wu Xing and the others in order to seek forgiveness from the Japanese.
Cangjing Mutuo couldn't help but feel proud and contemptuous when he saw the Koreans acting like this. The officer continued: "You are Koreans. If you want to live, of course you can, but you must prove that you have not colluded with the Han people, so that our general, your Excellency, can spare your lives!"
The Koreans looked at each other, not knowing how to prove this; Wu Xing held the handle of the knife and whispered to the people around him: "Get ready to fight!" Everyone also held the handle of the knife. When Wu Xing saw that the Korean women they had rescued were standing behind them, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart and said, "You all should kneel down too. You don't have to sacrifice your lives with us!" Although the women were scared, they all stood firm. Shaking her head, the young woman wearing Japanese armor said in an extremely firm tone: "Without you, we would have died long ago, and our death would have been extremely miserable! You saved our lives, and we will never betray you!" The other girls nodded one after another. Although they all looked scared, they were also very determined.
Wu Xing laughed loudly, "Okay! If that's the case, then we will live and die together!" The girls nodded heavily, looking very excited. The Japanese officer then said, "You must use your actions to prove that you have nothing to do with those Han people!" Then he pointed at Wu Xing and the others with his right hand, "Kill those Han people, and the general will spare you!"
The hearts of all the Koreans were shocked, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Wu Xing and the others, looking a little hesitant. Suddenly, a tall Korean man stood up and shouted loudly: "Folks, the Han people are not our compatriots, so killing them doesn't matter! Maybe we are in this situation today because of these Han people! It doesn't matter if we kill them. It's like avenging ourselves!" Many people stood up and echoed at the same time. Then more and more Koreans stood up, and the shouts of beating and killing became louder and louder. All the Koreans looked very ferocious. , although a few Koreans felt that they should not do this, but faced with such a situation, they did not dare to say anything, not to mention that they vaguely wanted to kill these Han people in exchange for their own lives.
When Cangjing Mutuo saw the internal conflict between the Koreans and the Han people, he smiled very happily. To him, the scene in front of him was an extremely wonderful show.
Wu Xing and others and those Korean women gathered together, Ying Sha slowly pulled out the Hengdao, his eyes were cold. The Koreans saw that they had drawn their weapons and looked fierce. Although they were outnumbered, they did not dare to rush forward rashly. Zhen Rigan mockingly said to Zhang Daniu next to him: "Don't you have to protect them? Now they are going to kill us, what else do you have to say?" Zhang Daniu cursed angrily: "These bastards!"
The Korean woman wearing Japanese armor said to her compatriots: "Folks, these Han people are our benefactors, we cannot retaliate!" The Korean woman's name was Park Min, who was almost publicly humiliated in Panmunjom that day, and later The Korean woman who was rescued was in her twenties, quite pretty, and had a very angry look on her face.
There was a look of shame on the faces of many Korean people. Some people snorted and said loudly: "What kind of benefactor! If it weren't for them, the Japanese would not come to embarrass us! We were harmed by them, they are our enemies. , kill them, of course!" After hearing this, the Korean people's uneasiness and guilt immediately disappeared, and they started making noises, and they were about to attack Wu Xing and the others. At this time, the light of the setting sun shines on everyone's face, making everyone feel so hideous and ugly.
ah! A strong Korean man shouted, raised a hatchet and rushed towards a secret guard. The secret guard tightened the sword in his hand, and he was sure to cut this ignorant Korean in two. When the other Koreans saw someone rushing forward, they couldn't resist the urge to rush forward.
Whoosh, snap! Two sounds sounded almost at the same time, and a sharp arrow flying across the sky knocked the hatchet out of the hand of the strong Korean man. All the Koreans were stunned by this sudden scene and couldn't help but look in the direction of the arrow. Suddenly, I saw a knight standing on the hill in the west with his back to the setting sun. He had his back to the setting sun and could not see his appearance clearly, but he gave people an extremely majestic feeling, like the god of war suddenly descending from the sky.
The Japanese also saw him and couldn't help but feel shocked. Cangjing Mutuo frowned and murmured: "Baga, you are pretending to be a ghost!" Even so, he did not dare to neglect at all, and he increased his vigilance.
At this moment, countless black knights appeared behind the knight, arranged in several horizontal rows, with heavy shadows and no sound. Everyone present could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Cangjing Mutuo realized that a powerful enemy had appeared, and immediately ignored the Koreans and Han people here, and ordered all the soldiers to gather in formation to the west to fight.
Twelve thousand Japanese soldiers quickly withdrew from the encirclement of the Koreans and gathered to the west, forming a large square formation. The battle formations formed by these Japanese are far less rigorous than the military formations of various countries in the Central Plains, and there are also problems with the combination of arms. At the front of them are spearmen, called spear ashigaru in Japan, which are the lowest infantry, followed by bow and arrow ashigaru. , hundreds of warriors gathered in the middle, supporting their commander, Cangjing Mutuo.
The war cavalry in the distance started slowly. They came down the hillside and came to the plain. At this time, Cangjing Mutuo saw clearly that although the enemy war cavalry that came gave people a very tough look, they were not many in number, only about two thousand people. Cangjing Mutuo couldn't help but double his confidence, and so did all his soldiers.
Those war cavalry were approaching the Japanese battle formation at a not very fast speed and were arranged in three horizontal rows. As they continued to approach, the Japanese felt an aura coming towards them, getting stronger and more fierce, and the Japanese soldiers couldn't help but hold their breath.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
