Only then did County Magistrate Zheng realize that the girl in the red dress was trying to save him. Thinking that he had just walked away from the gate of hell, he couldn't help but feel afraid, and the original pride disappeared in an instant.
It's not that Magistrate Zheng is greedy for life and afraid of death, it's just that he is just an ordinary person after all. He has never killed anyone or been on the battlefield. Now that he has truly experienced the real battlefield, some fear is inevitable.
Xiao Quan looked at the Yamen and Min Yong of Mouping County. Although these people were not strong overall, Xiao Quan did not intend to waste too much time on them, so he told his cronies: "There is no need to fight with those people in close combat. Those with shuriken kunai, feel free to call those people."
Previously, due to the dense team of people in Muping County, everyone was cautious, so there were no casualties when they first came into contact with the Japanese pirates. They even managed to contain many Japanese pirates, which greatly reduced the pressure on Zhang Ren's side.
But when the Japanese pirates gave up close combat and started long-range attacks, everyone in Muping County finally suffered casualties.
They were government servants and civilian warriors, so they did not have body-protecting armor. When shurikens and kunai poured down like raindrops, the bright red colors finally bloomed.
People who have never experienced the battlefield can initially fight with the enemy with the vigor in their chests, but when they see real blood and casualties, the inner fortress of these people that was not reliable in the first place finally begins to collapse.
Screams kept coming and going, and people began to fear one by one. If they continued, the defeat would be a matter of time, and what was more serious was that after the defeat, everyone here would die under the butcher's knife of the Japanese pirates.
Zhang Ren, who was a little further away, naturally saw this situation. He wanted to go over to rescue, but he was tightly entangled by four or five Japanese pirates.
Fortunately, everyone in Muping County was not without power. At the critical moment, the girl in the red dress stood up.
She stood at the front of the team, her dagger flying up and down, blocking many shuriken and kunai.
Although the girl in the red dress has pretty good martial arts skills, how much area can she defend by herself? So the crowd behind him was still suffering casualties.
There was no way to continue like this. The girl in the red dress gritted her teeth and finally raised her sword to kill the Japanese pirates.
She was just a young girl. Even though her martial arts skills were good, she still lacked experience. However, after only a few rounds, she was captured by the Japanese pirates' endless tricks. Even the dagger in her hand disappeared.
No matter how coquettish and domineering the girl in the red dress was on weekdays, if she fell into the hands of the Japanese pirates, she would turn pale with fear. What happened to the women who were kidnapped by the Japanese pirates is probably unknown to everyone in Muping County.
Seeing that the Japanese pirates around her were all looking at her with leering looks, and some of them were even smiling with their big yellow teeth bared, and wiping their saliva from time to time, the girl in the red dress was really scared.
She shook her head and shouted loudly: "Don't come here! You didn't stay away from me!"
The girl in the red dress wanted to ask for help, but she looked around helplessly. Zhang Ren was fighting with several Japanese pirate masters, and she was unable to do anything at all. Everyone in Muping County is also suffering from the massacre by Japanese pirates. There are quite a lot of fighting forces on the top of the city of Tingtao Villa, but until now, they have no intention of coming to support them.
….
A trace of despair flashed through the heart of the girl in the red dress, and she squatted on the ground and began to cry bitterly.
But how could these Japanese pirates who had lost their humanity in front of them have any intention of letting her go?
The girl in the red dress watched as a Japanese pirate stood in front of her, and his rough, dirty hands stretched out towards her.
The girl in the red dress shook her head desperately, but the Japanese pirate didn't stop at all.
At this moment, a silver light flashed, and the smile on the Japanese pirate's face disappeared, replaced by a painful expression, because the Japanese pirate found that his hand had been cut off.
Although the girl in the red dress was splashed with blood on her face, she still looked at everything in front of her with her eyes wide open.
The knife just now was made by Zhang Ren, and Zhang Ren was already standing in front of her at this moment.
"Are you okay?" Zhang Ren asked.
Even though he had some unpleasant experiences with the girl, the justice of his family and country came first, so he could not
Seeing the girl in the red dress being brutally attacked by the Japanese pirates, he was in critical condition just now, so he just took a knife and a kick from the Japanese pirates before he rushed to the girl in the red dress.
From the perspective of the girl in the red dress, Zhang Ren was blocking the sun at the moment, which made her feel that Zhang Ren's whole body seemed to be shining. Moreover, she also discovered a problem. This kid Zhang Ren still looked quite handsome. Quite pleasing to the eye.
The girl in the red dress blushed and shook her head, but she saw blood flowing from the corner of Zhang Ren's mouth. When she looked carefully, she found that there was a stab wound on Zhang Ren's left arm that was bleeding.
"Are you injured?" the girl in the red dress asked with concern.
Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm always injured and I'm used to it."
This was not the place to talk, so Zhang Ren jumped up and brought the girl in red dress to the people in Mouping County.
Facing many long-range hidden weapons, Zhang Ren slashed the ground with his sword, and the powerful internal energy formed a strong wind, knocking down the shurikens and kunai to the ground.
Now everyone in Muping County is somewhat embarrassed. With their strength, even if they want to retreat, it is impossible for the Japanese pirates to kill them all the way. But if the people in Tingtao Villa can come out to support, then it is possible That's another situation.
But Zhang Ren looked carefully at the city gate of Tingtao Bieyuan. Although there were crowds of people there, the city gate showed no intention of opening.
At this moment, Zhang Ren finally understood why the Zhang family had such a bad reputation in Mouping County. These government officials and civilian warriors in front of him all came to Tingtaobie Garden to kill Japanese pirates. But now that they are in danger, the Zhang family has chosen to wait and see. Foreign enemies At present, they still choose to protect themselves with peace of mind. It would be strange for such a family to have a good reputation.
Zhang Ren sighed and stopped complaining about the Zhang family in his heart, because the Japanese pirates had already attacked on a large scale.
Zhang Ren tried his best to fight off several waves of attacks from the Japanese pirates, and he also suffered three more stab wounds on his body.
Just looking at the Japanese pirates like a tide, Zhang Ren knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not protect everyone.
Magistrate Zheng sighed and said to Zhang Ren, "It's us who have dragged you down. If we weren't here, you could have done whatever you wanted with your martial arts skills. If it really doesn't help, just kill yourself!"
Zhang Ren shook his head and said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. In my eyes, you are all heroes who killed the Japanese pirates, not my burden. Today, we will either live together or die together!"
"It's a good saying, 'Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Since we live and die together today, can you take me with you?"
Zhang Ren looked towards the speaker and saw a handsome middle-aged man standing in front of him. He seemed to know this man. It was Zhao Shannan, a swordsman from the Jianghu who met in Jinling before.
Night rivers and lakes.
