The night sky above his head was suddenly filled with flaming arrows, which were fired at extremely fast speeds.
Fortunately, Sakai Jiro reacted quickly and rolled his body into the low jungle beside him.
The flaming arrows galloped past, knocking down several waves of Dongzhou soldiers. Immediately afterwards, a wave of people rushed from the front. Without saying a word, they immediately met the Dongzhou soldiers with swords and swords.
The two sides fought fiercely, with loud shouts of killing and arrows shooting from time to time. This wave of Dongzhou soldiers was obviously at a disadvantage.
After about a quarter of an hour, the fighting between the two sides stopped. The ground was full of corpses. This group of people looked fierce and covered in blood. If it weren't for their numerical advantage, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to eliminate the group of pursuers in front of them.
Although the group defeated the pursuers, they also suffered heavy casualties. However, the group did not have time to count the number of people at the moment. They looked around and shouted.
"If you want to die, don't come out."
After hearing this, Jiro Sakai struggled to get up without hesitation, and the reinforcements that appeared quickly discovered him.
Everyone stepped forward and helped him up. Sakai Jiro, who was helped up, had a cold face and complained about the reinforcements that appeared.
"You are too slow. If you are a step later, I will meet the King of Hell. Who is your leader? Let him speak out."
"Oh, I didn't expect the second master to still have such a bad temper. It's our fault."
Not long after Sakai Jiro's voice fell, a figure slowly walked out from behind the crowd.
Jiro Sakai raised his eyebrows at the appearance of Liu San, obviously a little surprised. He did not expect that he would be the leader of the rescue team on Zhoushan Island.
You must know that they are often at each other's throats on the island, and they don't like each other. This rescue mission is not an easy job. Anyone can come, but the least likely one is him. It's good if he doesn't add insult to injury. .
But just this kind of impossibility, appearing in front of him, made Jiro Sakai unable to digest it for a while.
"Haha, it seems that the second master is very surprised by my appearance, but I am also quite surprised. I didn't expect that the second master is still alive today."
Liu San's words suddenly brought Sakai Jiro back to his senses. Now that his identity had been revealed, Sakai Jiro had nothing to hide, so he immediately tore off the skin on his face to reveal his true appearance. XiuShu.com
The surprised look returned to normal, and he looked at Liu San indifferently and said, "Huh, Liu San, don't think that if you save me this time, I will be grateful to you. Don't worry about the responsibility for this defeat. When I return to the island, I will take care of you." Bear on it, if you want to taunt me here, your plan is doomed to fail."
"Haha, that's right. I hope the second master can be as tough as he is now when facing the royal family's inquiries." Liu San said calmly with a smile on his face.
It looked like the two were talking, but in fact the atmosphere between the two was very low, and they had returned to the tit-for-tat confrontation on the island.
Seeing that the two sides were about to confront each other again, one of the subordinates couldn't help but said after hesitating for a moment.
"Two heads, we are not completely out of danger yet. This is not the place to talk right now. It is better to leave as soon as possible. If you have any questions, we can talk about it after it is safe."
The reminder from his men made the two tit-for-tat people wake up, and Liu San nodded slightly.
"Well, you're right, let's go and send a few more people to take care of the second master. After all, the second master has limited legs and feet. It would be really embarrassing if he didn't catch up and caught up."
"Liu San, you!" Sakai Jiro glared and wanted to refute, but the pain in his calf made him couldn't help but grin and looked down at the injury in his calf.
After the calf injury was simply treated, Sakai Jiro looked up to look for Liu San, but there was no trace of him anywhere.
The two men beside him set up Jiro Sakai and quickly caught up with the large army in front.
Even if Liu San arrived in time for this rescue, he also made accurate judgment. As soon as he landed, he went straight to where the reinforcements were and without saying a word, he launched a surprise attack.
A hole was opened, and the reinforcements that had been surrounded quickly withdrew. Although they suffered heavy casualties during the retreat, at least half of the troops were still there.
Including the 3,000 people who came to support him, there were about 8,000 people.
Even though there was still the Split Mountain Army chasing after him, under his arrangement, he was able to withstand the Split Mountain Army's attack.
But the crisis has not been resolved. Liu San knows that now they are like a group of aimless flies. If there is no arrangement, the whole army will run around in a swarm, and it will be a matter of time before they are eaten.
Therefore, under his arrangement, 8,000 people occupied some villages and towns along the way and temporarily established three lines of defense.
Taking advantage of the terrain, they were able to take a breather. After arranging reinforcements, Liu San led his 3,000 men, who were also divided into teams like the Dongzhou soldiers, and were responsible for supporting the escapees within five miles of the Dongzhou coast. The remnants of the army.
Although the land of the two counties was recovered, not all the people who came ashore earlier were destroyed, but were broken into pieces and scattered within a radius of 20 miles on the Dongzhou coast.
According to Liu San's estimate, there are still at least four to five thousand of the 20,000 troops.
If they were all trapped in a city, it would be a matter of time before they were wiped out, but fortunately Jiro Sakai ordered them to break out in advance.
In such a large dense forest, let alone the 20,000 Dongzhou soldiers, even with the troops of Su Qi'an and Xie Cang, it would be very difficult to wipe out the scattered remnants of the army in a short time.
More importantly, he has brought people ashore, successfully established a defense line on the Dongzhou coast, and has sent out the response news.
Think about it, if these four to five thousand people don't have any backup, it will be a matter of time before they are wiped out, but once they know that the base camp will send people to respond.
The originally despairing mood will suddenly be ignited, and the hope that is like grasping the last life-saving straw will definitely allow them to unleash their greatest potential.
They will definitely come to the Dongzhou coast regardless of everything. With this strong desire to survive in their hearts, these Dongzhou soldiers will have to pay a heavy price.
It is based on this consideration that Liu San will choose to send troops. As long as the opponent has more troops or has formed an encirclement, Liu San will not take the risk.
And everything was just as Liu San expected, when he learned that the base camp had really sent people to respond to the pirates and Japanese pirates who were in desperate situations and were ready to die.
A strong desire to survive suddenly broke out, and he headed towards the Dongzhou coast regardless of the situation.
No matter how many obstacles or Dongzhou soldiers they encounter, they will fight without fear of death.
Under this reckless fighting, the Dongzhou soldiers' casualties almost doubled.
But even so, Wu Dingguo has no plans to withdraw his troops. The test at this time is who of the two sides can last until the end.
If he orders a withdrawal, it will indeed reduce casualties, but the momentum of revenge that was finally mobilized will completely dissipate, and it will be extremely difficult to restore it in the future.
This is what the two sides are fighting against. If this tone disappears, the Dongzhou soldiers will be the same as useless.
Moreover, just now, he received a reply from Su Qi'an. Just as he thought, Dongzhou Navy was not moving for the time being. They had only one purpose at the moment.
Recover the two lost counties and kill as many pirates and Japanese pirates as they come ashore.
This also means that this battle has come to an end. If we don't fight hard at this time, how can we wait, even if there is a larger-scale battle later.
I'm afraid it won't be like now. The time, place and people are all advantageous. For this reason, Wu Dingguo, who is stationed in Zuohai County, decided to go to the Dongzhou coast to supervise the battle in person.
On the one hand, it is to further improve morale, on the other hand, it is also to avenge the shame of the past and watch these invaders die on the border of Dongzhou.
We must let them know that the Land of Great Liang is not just for them to come and leave whenever they want.
It can be predicted that the final battle on the Dongzhou coast will definitely be tragic.
At this time, Liu San and others who received Jiro Sakai finally arrived at the coast of Dongzhou after running wildly all the way.
In front of them, there were already more than a dozen large ships parked, which could accommodate at least ten thousand people. However, they were not military ships, but civilian ships.
The reason why civilian ships were used was to paralyze the Dongzhou Navy. If the military ships were used, Liu San was not guaranteed to be able to land smoothly.
Looking at the big ship in front of him, Sakai Jiro was hanging
Feeling relieved, just as they were about to board the boat, Dongzhou soldiers also caught up with them in the woods behind them.
From time to time, the sound of arrows breaking through the wind could be heard in their ears. Liu San and Sakai Jiro did not look back and ran all the way. After a while, their ears heard the sound of rushing and killing.
This is the fourth and last line of defense deployed by Liu San frontally.
There are at least two thousand people in the frontal defense line, but how long they can withstand it depends on God's will.
"Don't let them escape, kill me!"
"Warriors, the time has come for His Majesty the Emperor to test us. Cover the master and charge!"
The sound of rushing and killing was accompanied by the clashing sound of weapons, which resounded throughout the night sky.
The entire Dongzhou coast was filled with flames, and the two sides fought repeatedly. At this moment, no matter who it was, they could no longer stop and were all red-eyed.
Dongzhou soldiers repeatedly charged and killed, while the pirates responsible for intercepting the pirates also fought for their lives, and the two sides temporarily formed a stalemate.
Under the cover of everyone, Sakai Jiro, Liu San and others finally got on the boat. Before they could relax, bad news came one after another from their subordinates.
"Reporting to the third master, the second line of defense has been broken. The Dongshan and Split Mountain armies are fiercely attacking the third line of defense. It looks like they won't be able to hold out for long."
"Report, the Commander-in-Chief of Dongzhou and the Supervisory Envoy are coming towards the coast of Dongzhou. It looks like they will annihilate us all."
"The number of people boarding the ship now is less than a thousand, what will the third master do?"
Listening to the report from his subordinates, Liu San's expression was solemn, enough to make the Dongzhou Governor and Supervisory Envoy dispatch at the same time, which was enough to show the other party's determination to annihilate him.
Liu San's eyes flashed. He thought a lot for a moment. Just when he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted at Jiro Sakai.
"Get out of the way, it's dangerous!"
At the same time, Jiro Sakai was pushed away, and with a whoosh, an arrow shot from a distance and pierced Liu San's chest.
Liu San's body went limp and fell directly to the ground.
Everyone on the ship was in panic at this scene. Sakai Jiro, who had escaped the disaster, quickly came to Liu San's side. Liu San wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sakai Jiro.
He scolded his men coldly, "Why are you still standing there? Give me my order and sail away from here immediately. I will bear the consequences!"
When the men heard this, they didn't dare to say anything and left quickly. After a while, the big ship docked on the shore gradually started to move.
Liu San, who was lying on the boat, was carried into the cabin on his back, but no one paid attention. Liu San's mouth showed a playful look.
