Just as Fujita Hiromichi's messenger was dispatched, Nishino Oki's messenger arrived and reported to Fujita Hiromichi: "Your Excellency, General, Nishino-sama ordered me to report to you that a Han army is coming to Kaijing. Please be careful, General." Fujita. Before Hiromichi could answer, a flamboyant guy wearing samurai armor next to him said: "Humph, we are here to summon you at this time. We have already finished the fight!" Fujita Hiromichi glanced at him displeasedly. This guy is not The other person was none other than the nephew brought out by Fujita Hiromichi, Fujita Mitsukata. When he saw his uncle's stern eyes, he looked over. Although he had an arrogant personality, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and lowered his head.

Fujita Hiromichi looked at the messenger and said: "Go back and tell Nishino Chong to be careful on defense. The Han people are cunning and must not be neglected!" The messenger cheered and said: "Nishino-sama has one more thing to tell the general. Nishino Your Excellency is leading an army to raid Haizhou, and he might have captured Haizhou now!"

Fujita Hiromichi showed an expression of surprise and said excitedly: "Yo Xi, Haizhou is their bridgehead and retreat. If Nishino-kun can capture Haizhou in one fell swoop, it will be like putting this desperate Han army in a cage. There’s no way to escape! In Chinese terms, that’s like becoming a turtle in a urn! Hey, Mr. Nishino is really wise and brave!”

Fujita Mitsukawa felt jealous when his uncle praised Nishino Chong so much. He snorted and said: "Those Han people are fierce and cunning. Nishino Chong rushed to raid Haizhou. I don't think there will be any good results!"

Fujita Hiromichi shook his head and said: "No, this is a great time to raid Haizhou! There must not be many Han people who have landed in Goryeo now. Since they came to try our idea of ​​opening the capital, they must have left in full force, Nishino If you attack Haizhou at this time, you have a high chance of success!" Fujita Mitsuwa frowned, feeling very unhappy.

The sight turned to the foot of Haeju Castle. Arrows were flying in the sky, and the sound of killing was earth-shattering. Nishino Chong directed the Japanese soldiers under his command to continuously rush towards the city wall. However, the ferocious attacks were crushed again and again, as if they were constantly hitting the rock. The huge waves, no matter how ferocious you are, will inevitably end up being shattered to pieces.

The Japanese attacking troops suffered heavy casualties and retreated again. This was the first time the Japanese attacked and retreated. At this moment, the Japanese no longer had the fierce momentum they had at the beginning. The successive failures and heavy losses had worn away their spirit and their arrogance. The Japanese originally thought that there were not many Han people defending Haizhou City, so they would be able to attack Haizhou in one go and slaughter them wantonly. However, they did not expect that they fought for a whole day and night, paid so much price, but made no progress.

Xiye Chong looked at Haizhou City, which remained as before, and couldn't help but wonder if his original judgment was wrong? In fact, his judgment was not wrong. There were indeed not many defenders in Haizhou City at the moment, only a thousand men. However, the Yanyun Army was not a useless Goryeo Army. Although the Japanese were five times as powerful, they still needed to be defeated. It is impossible for Haizhou City to do it in a short time.

Nishino Chong hesitated, not knowing whether to continue fighting or to retreat to Jinchuan.

At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from behind. Xi Yechong turned around and saw one of his own messengers coming at a gallop. The Japanese lacked war horses and did not have a large-scale cavalry force. The few war horses they had were generally used as messengers to deliver messages or as scouts to go out for reconnaissance. In fact, the Japanese did not have no cavalry at all. They still had a cavalry unit, which was small in scale and regarded as a national treasure by the whole country. It was called the "Spirit of Yamato" and was a cavalry team directly under the emperor's control.

The messenger galloped to the front of Xi Yechong, reined in the horse suddenly, and without even bothering to salute, he said urgently: "My lord, I'm sorry, the Han people are attacking Jinchuan City!"

Xi Yechong was taken aback, calmed down, and frowned: "Aren't the Han people opening the capital? Why did they suddenly come to attack my Jinchuan City?"

The messenger shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but there are a lot of Han people coming, about six to seven thousand people. Sir, please return to Jinchuan quickly, otherwise Jinchuan will definitely be lost!"

When Xi Yechong heard that six or seven thousand people were attacking Jinchuan, he was shocked and said to himself: "I only left one thousand people to defend Jinchuan, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the Han attack!" ' At this thought, I couldn't help but become anxious, and ordered in a hurry: "The whole army will follow me back to Jinchuan!" Then he led more than 4,000 soldiers and horses under his command to rush back to Jinchuan to help Jinchuan. The Japanese had no cavalry, so they all ran around in the wilderness.

Hurrying slowly and panting, four thousand people arrived in the wilderness only a dozen miles away from Jinchuan in the evening. At this time, the earth was dim, the forest on the left was full of shadows, and many birds were flying over the forest. Circling, flying and chirping endlessly.

Suddenly, locust-like arrows flew out of the woods, making a sharp whistling sound. Countless Japanese people fell down before they understood what was going on, and screams were heard. The Japanese reacted, quickly stopped advancing, and looked toward the woods on the left. At this time, another wave of arrows flew in. The Japanese soldiers were startled. With a loud crackling sound, many Japanese were shot down. Nishino shouted at the top of his lungs: "There is an ambush! Form a formation on the spot!" The Japanese soldiers hurriedly moved into action, but at this moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from behind the hills on the other side. The Japanese soldiers followed the sound one after another, and saw countless black warriors suddenly appearing on the hills, like a black cloud sweeping over them, unstoppable! The Japanese soldiers were horrified and frightened. Nishino shouted loudly, and all the Japanese soldiers hurriedly formed formations on the spot.

However, the incident happened suddenly. Before the Japanese could form a battle formation, black cloud-like black armor warriors rushed into the middle of the Japanese. I saw the black iron cavalry moving forward, with blood flying everywhere where the blade passed. The Japanese fell down like wheat harvested by a harvester. The army was instantly shaken and retreated backwards. However, retreating could not avoid the Yanyun Iron Cavalry. In the blink of an eye, the Xuanjia Army swept through the Japanese army, killing countless people. Those who survived lay on the ground and wailed loudly. The Japanese army was already in pieces. , everyone looked horrified.

The Xuanjia Army turned their horses, and with Yang Peng's horse swung forward, they charged again. Amidst the rumbling sound of iron hoofs, and the thunderous shouts, their energy was like a tide, and their momentum was like thunder!

Seeing such a scene, the Japanese felt as if they were not facing human beings, but the terrifying power of God. They couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts, and they began to run backwards.

In the blink of an eye, the Xuanjia army crashed into the middle of the Japanese army, charging and killing them. The Japanese corpses were covered in blood and fled in confusion. In just a moment, the Japanese army completely collapsed, and the remaining defeated generals were running around, panicked like a bereaved dog, and as anxious as a fish that had slipped through the net. Screams kept ringing all over the wilderness, and gradually fell silent until the sky turned completely dark.

Xi Yechong only escaped from the pursuit of Yan Yun's army with a few hundred people and rushed to the gate of Jinchuan City. As soon as Xiye Chong recovered from his shock, he wanted to escape into the city quickly, so he shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" The city gate suddenly opened, and nearly a thousand people rushed out of the city gate. Xiye Chong felt a little surprised. He looked at the other party carefully, and through the faint light of the stars and moon, he saw the appearance of the other party. He was not one of his own, he was clearly a Han soldier! Nishino Chong's surprise was no small matter!

At this moment, the Yan Yun army on the opposite side charged up with a shout and crashed into the Japanese army. The Japanese were already frightened. They could not withstand such a fierce charge by the Yan Yun army, so there was another bloody killing. Xiye rushed He only took a dozen people and fled southward in a hurry.

How did Jinchuan City fall into the hands of Yan Yunjun? It turned out that almost at the same time when Nishino was ambushed in the wilderness, Zhang Daniu led a group of sergeants disguised as Japanese soldiers to fraudulently open the gate of Jinchuan, and then the army rushed in. The nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers guarding Jinchuan City lost the city wall as a base. Reliance was naturally no match for Yanyun Tiger Wolf. In the blink of an eye, Yanyun's army was rushed to pieces and routed. Except for a few who escaped from the north city gate, the rest were either killed or captured.

Xiye Chong and others ran all the way, all like frightened birds. Although they were exhausted, they did not dare to take a rest.

The next morning, Nishino Chong and others fled into Kaijing. Fujita Hiromichi was originally waiting for the good news from Nishino Oki, but he did not expect that the good news did not arrive. Instead, he saw Nishino Oki and others running away like bereaved dogs and frightened birds. He was frightened for a moment and did not know what to say.

Nishino knelt down towards Fujita Hiromichi and said with shame on his face: "Your Excellency, I am defeated!..."

Fujita Hiromichi frowned, while Fujita Mitsuhako beside him showed a look of gloating. Fujita Hiromichi asked: "What's going on? Didn't you go to attack Haizhou, but why, why did you make it look like this?"

Nishino Chong said sadly and angrily: "I failed to capture Haizhou. Instead, I fell into the Han people's plan. Not only was the entire army wiped out, but also Jinchuan was lost!" Fujita Hiromichi was inexplicably surprised. Although Fujita Mitsukaku was happy that Nishino Chong suffered a disastrous defeat, he still felt that It was unbelievable that the situation had changed so suddenly. He snorted coldly and said angrily: "Are the Han people all monsters?"

Nishino rushed to Fujita Hiromichi and told him the story of the war. Fujita Hiromichi frowned and murmured: "I didn't expect the Han people to be so cunning and cruel! In this case, even I will inevitably fail miserably!" He turned to look at Nishino Chong, his expression softened, and said: "Nishino-kun There's no need to blame yourself, get up!" He said and stepped forward to help Xi Yechong up.

Fujita Hiromichi asked: "Do you know who the leading general of the Han people is?" Nishino shook his head, thinking of the terrible general who almost killed him, he couldn't help but trembled, and said: "The leading Han general, He was very young and very heroic. He wore a heavy black iron armor and carried a black iron horse spear. He was extremely powerful. General Cangjing Mutuo was killed by his one move, and I almost died at his hands! "

Fujita Hiromichi frowned and said: "I have long heard that General Yanyun is brave and invincible. He is said to be the enemy of ten thousand people. He can kill the enemy's general in the midst of thousands of troops! Originally, I thought this was just a legend that the Han people boasted about. No matter how powerful it is, At most, the generals are comparable to our Eight Swordsmen! But I didn’t expect that the legend turned out to be true. The bravery of General Yan Yun was beyond imagination. As one of the Eight Swordsmen, Kurai Mutuo was actually attacked by his opponent. Zhan Zhan, if I had heard someone say such a thing before, I would have scolded him for talking nonsense, but such a thing actually happened!"

Fujita Mitsuki said: "I think it's not how powerful Yan Yun is. It must be that Cangjing Mutuo was too careless when facing the enemy, which gave the opponent the opportunity to kill him! If he fights with his true ability, then Yan Yun No matter how powerful General Yun is, he can only be tied with Cangjing Mutuo at most!"

Fujita Hiromichi felt that his nephew rarely said decent words, but this sentence was very reasonable. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "This is true, it should be like this! Our Yamato nation is the most brave nation in the world. The Eight Great Swordsmen are not only the strongest samurai of the Yamato nation, but also the strongest samurai of mankind! There is absolutely no way that anyone can defeat them with real skills, let alone such an incredible thing as killing them with one move! There is only one possibility, That is because Cangjing Mutuo was too careless and underestimated the enemy, and was succeeded by a surprise attack by his opponent. There is no other explanation!" Everyone present nodded in agreement, deeply agreeing.

Fujita Hiromichi frowned and said: "However, the specific situation of this Han army is not clear at present. The top priority is to find out the specific situation of this Han army!" Nishino rushed: "I have sent people disguised as Goryeo people to infiltrate Haizhou, I believe there will be news soon." Fujita Hiromichi nodded with satisfaction. Seeing Nishino Chong's exhausted and bloody look, he said to a senior samurai next to him: "Take Nishino-kun to rest. "The senior samurai cheered, and then made a gesture of invitation to Nishino. Nishino saluted Fujita Hiromichi and followed the senior samurai down.

Yang Peng and Zhan Jinguo led the Xuanjia Army into Jinchuan City. Wu Xing and others immediately came to greet them and reported: "Xi Ye Chong fled to the city and was defeated by us. Although we almost killed them all, we allowed Xi Ye Chong to run away. ." Yang Peng smiled nonchalantly and said, "A lost dog, just run away." Everyone smiled.

A large group of people walked into the county government hall. Yang Peng turned around and said: "Why is this city so quiet? Even if the people are hiding at home and dare not come out, shouldn't it be so quiet? Starting from entering the city gate, I It’s as quiet as if you’ve entered a cemetery!” Wu Xing clasped his fists and said, “What King Yan doesn’t know is that all the Koreans in this city were killed by the Japanese. The corpses of thousands of men, women, old and children are still piled up in the county. The square behind the yamen is so miserable!" Zhang Daniu and others frowned. Although there was no sadness or anger, they were disgusted. When Yan Yun soldiers thought about it, this kind of behavior of killing unarmed people was... They are no different from animals and are extremely disgusting.

Yang Peng frowned and said: "The Japanese have always been like this, it's not surprising! If they didn't do this, they wouldn't be Japanese anymore!" He raised his head and asked Wu Xing: "Is there any food and grass in Jinchuan City?" Wu Xing said: "There are some grain and grass baggage transferred through Jinchuan and gold and silver treasures plundered from the front, but the quantity is not very large." Chen Xiao said: "Transport all useful things to Haizhou." He looked at the county government hall in front of him, and then Said: "Then set fire to burn this place." Wu Xing clasped his fists and promised.

Fujita Hiromichi and others hurriedly climbed onto the city wall and looked into the distance under the guidance of several samurai. They saw that the horizon was red and the sky seemed to be on fire. Xiye Chong frowned and said: "That's the direction of Jinchuan. Could it be that there was a fire in Jinchuan? What's going on?" Then he understood: the Han people must have withdrawn. They did not have enough troops to hold Jinchuan, let alone expand the results of the battle. Therefore, He took away everything useful and set fire to the city!

Fujita Hiromichi said: "Based on this, we can judge that the Han people do not have many troops." Nishino nodded with deep sympathy.

At this moment, a messenger rushed up and reported to Fujita Hiromichi: "Your Majesty the General's letter!" He handed over a letter with both hands. Fujita Hiromichi received the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and read it again, and said to Nishino: "Your Excellency, the General, has known about the Han people and has sent General Musashi to lead an army of 100,000 people south to deal with the Han people. Honda Tadashi Sheng also came with the army." Nishino Chong showed an expression of surprise and said excitedly: "A hundred thousand troops are enough to wipe out the Han people in front of us! Lord Honda is the best warrior in the world, enough to kill the so-called Yan Yun warrior! "Fujita Hiromichi nodded with deep sympathy, and said to Nishino: "The Musashi army will arrive in Kaijing soon. Before that, we must understand the situation of the Han people, otherwise we will appear in front of the General. We are so incompetent!" "Hi!"

Yang Peng led his troops and horses back to Haizhou with a large amount of loot. However, the sight in front of them shocked Yang Peng and others. They saw a sea of ​​people outside Haizhou City. Tens of thousands of Korean people with their families crowded outside the city hoping to enter the city.

When the people of Goryeo saw Yang Peng and the others coming, they gathered around them one after another, knelt on the ground and begged Yan Yunjun to let them enter Haizhou City. Some even asked Yanyun Army to take them to Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture. The scene was crowded and noisy. It was a mess. Yang Peng and his party separated the Goryeo people and went straight to the city gate. The city gate opened and hundreds of soldiers rushed out of the city gate, isolating all the Goryeo people who were eager to enter the city from a certain area.

Yang Peng and his party entered the city gate, followed by Sergeant Yan Yun who had blocked the Goryeo people, and they also ran into the city gate, and the city gate was immediately closed. The people of Goryeo rushed to the city gate and begged loudly, lamenting and complaining.

Ye Qi Guanyin and Xiang Danian came to Yang Peng and saw the ceremony. Ye Qi Guanyin said: "Since yesterday, people from Goryeo have been coming outside the city one after another, wanting to enter the city." Yang Peng thought for a moment and asked "What do you think?" Yeli Guanyin said, "In this large area, we are the only one who is safe. It is natural for the people of Goryeo to gather here after hearing the news."

Everyone climbed up the city wall and looked outside the city. Tens of thousands of people had gathered outside the city, and in the distance there were still Korean people dragging their families and bringing their families. In the hearts of those Korean people, perhaps only Haizhou is the place that can save them.

Ye Qi Guanyin said: "Brother, money, food and materials are resources, but people are more important resources than money, food and materials! Be it money or food, they all have to be created by people. It doesn't matter if you don't have money or food, as long as there are people, you can create it. And without people, money and food are useless!" After hearing her tongue-twisting words, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel his heart move, and nodded: "You are right, but I ignored this matter!" After reading it! He glanced at the crowds of Korean people outside the city and said, "Why don't we take this opportunity to move as many Korean people to the Central Plains as possible. Nowadays, the population in the northwest is sparse, so we can use these Korean people to fill it in!" Yedi Guanyin nodded, He smiled and said, "That's it!"

Yang Peng immediately ordered Xiang Danian: "Open the city gate every day during the day, let the Korean people in, and transport them to Yanjing by ship. In addition, he ordered Han Bing, Zhang Xiang, Yang Jiumei, and all local officials along the way to ask them Do a good job of resettling and relocating these people. In particular, tell Xiao Telie that you must be prepared to receive these Korean refugees. All materials such as housing, land, farm tools, etc. must be prepared. If they are not enough, ask Han Bing for them. Yes. One thing to pay special attention to is that these Goryeo people must be dispersed and mixed with us Han people and people from other ethnic groups." After thinking about it, I felt that there was nothing missing, so he said to Xiang Danian: "Okay, for now. So be it." Xiang Danian responded and ran down. Xiao Telie was the Weibei Xuanwei envoy appointed by Yang Peng. Yang Peng planned to use these Koreans to enrich the northwest, so he specifically asked Xiang Danian to pass orders to Xiao Telie.

The population of the Weibei region is actually not very small, but it is much smaller than that of the Central Plains. Compared with the surrounding ethnic minority areas, it is still quite dense. Not long ago, Yang Peng ordered some people to move from Weibei and Shanxi to the newly occupied Ningxia area. Therefore, the population in Weibei seemed very thin, so Yang Peng planned to move the Korean people there to enrich the place.

The Koreans begged at the foot of the city. In this era when the world is overturned and human lives are like dogs, no one cares about dignity anymore.

Suddenly, the city gate opened. When the people of Goryeo saw this, they couldn't help but get excited and subconsciously rushed towards the city gate. I saw a heroic General Yan Yun running out with hundreds of soldiers. He couldn't help but stop and looked at him eagerly. The general who led hundreds of sergeants out of the city was Hua Rong. He reined in his horse, glanced at the Korean people, and said loudly: "King Yan has mercy on you, and has specially sent down his grace to save you!" Wu Xing next to him immediately saw it. This sentence was translated into Korean and said loudly. The people of Goryeo had not had much hope, but when they suddenly heard such words, they were filled with endless surprises, and they couldn't help but knelt down and thanked King Yan for his kindness.

Xiang Danian said again: "From today on, you are the people of Yanyun, and we will transport you back to the country for resettlement!" Wu Xing said again in Korean. When the Korean people heard that they could actually become subjects of the powerful Yanyun, they couldn't help but be ecstatic and unbelievable. It's not that these Koreans are cold-blooded and betray their country, it's because it is the nature of all animals, including humans, to follow the strong.

What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
