Shengzhou, known as Jinling in history, is a thousand-year-old city with a large city and high walls. Since it was known that the imperial court sent troops south to conquer, the city defense of Shengzhou City was extremely tight, the city gates were tightly closed, and a large number of soldiers patrolled the city walls at night.
Due to the need to defend the city, all the trees within two miles outside the city were cut down. The three people came from the west. Changsheng did not run directly to the west gate, but reined in two miles away and turned around. He ran toward the south gate under the cover of the woods.
Datou and Shi Xuanming didn't know Changsheng's intention of doing this, and Changsheng didn't explain it to them. After a while, he came to the woods in the south of the city and chose a secret place to get off his horse.
There was still half a jar of wine that Shi Xuanming had brought from the inn. After Changsheng got off his horse, he immediately walked to Shi Xuanming, took the wine jar and drank with his head. After taking a few big sips, Changsheng deliberately spilled some more on himself and turned around. Datou threw the Longwei sword aside and said, "I'll pretend to be a Japanese pirate and go to the city gate to cause trouble. You wait until I get to the city gate and rush over from the south to stop me. You don't have to be afraid of exposing your spiritual energy cultivation, because the Japanese pirates also have spiritual energy cultivation."
Datou raised his hand to catch Long Wei, not without worry, "Sir, what if they release an arrow?"
Changsheng didn't answer, turned around and walked quickly through the woods to the main road to the west, then staggered towards the city gate.
Changsheng walked for half an hour for a distance of two miles. Although he stumbled and fell from time to time, his speed was not slow. He wanted to pretend to be drunk and anxious. The main reason for doing this was to paralyze the defenders. In order to save time, they have shortened the time spent on the way to the extreme, arriving a full two hours earlier than expected. Now that they have arrived at the end of the land, he has to fight harder and strive to be faster.
Not long after he appeared on the official road, someone looked at his position on the city wall. This shows that the captain who led the troops had spiritual cultivation and could see at night. When he was still a hundred steps away from the city gate, there was a message on the city wall. When he came, he shouted loudly and asked, "Who is coming?!"
Hearing the defenders shouting questions, Chang Sheng immediately raised his head and shouted. What he shouted was not Baga Yalu, but a few words that the Japanese pirates nagging and complaining about. Baga Yalu is so common and easy to learn. It can fool ordinary people. The soldiers might be able to do it, but trying to fool the nervous defenders at night would easily be self-defeating, so what he said was a series of Japanese pirate words. He had to make the soldiers confirm that he was a Japanese pirate.
He was also betting that Sun Ru and the Japanese pirates were already working together, and his soldiers also knew that Sun Ru had reached some kind of deal with the Japanese pirates.
The soldiers guarding the city would carry bows and arrows with them. When Changsheng was shouting Japanese pirates and staggering forward, an arrow flew quickly and inserted into the soil in front of Changsheng. At the same time, someone shouted loudly, "Stop, whoever comes." !”
Although the defenders shot arrows, Changsheng was not afraid. Instead, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because the arrow did not hit him, which meant that the soldiers defending the city were no strangers to Japanese pirates.
Changsheng lowered his head to look at the arrow on the ground, then stepped forward to pull it out, waving the arrow and shouting curses. This time, he finally mixed in the string of Japanese pirate words.
"General, this bitch is scolding you, I'll shoot him to death." Someone said on the wall.
"No, how can I tell my superiors if I am shot to death?" The speaker raised his hand and pressed down the long bow raised by his subordinate.
When Changsheng saw this, he said a few more words in the language of Japanese pirates, which were also mixed with some Chinese words, including "open the door, general, girl" and other words.
"General, what is this bitch talking about?" someone asked.
"That's not a good thing to say," the leader frowned and shook his head.
Changsheng jumped from the city into a rage, and then threw the arrow in his hand. He used spiritual energy when throwing it, but deliberately threw it crookedly. The arrow rolled and shook in the air, and fell to the ground before it could fly up the city wall.
"Be careful, this person is a master." The leader warned in a deep voice.
At this moment, a gust of night wind blew by, and he realized that it was blowing from the south. Changsheng immediately raised his breath and induced vomiting. He vomited out all the drinks he had drank before, fell to the ground, looked around, and grabbed it. Several stones were thrown at the defenders on the city wall.
"Oh my God, how much I drank." Someone raised his hand to cover his nose.
Hearing the man's words, Changsheng knew that the other person had completely let down his guard, and shouted and cursed again, half in Japanese and half in Chinese. He had to let the other person know that he could understand some Chinese, otherwise the other person would not try to communicate with him.
This time he mixed words such as "General, open the door, go home" in his words. At this time, he already knew that the Japanese pirates were not hiding in Shengzhou, otherwise the soldiers guarding the city would not know their existence, but What he didn't know was whether these Japanese pirates lived in the city or somewhere else, so he only used this method to test.
Sure enough, this method worked, and the man leading the troops raised his eyebrows and cursed, "Go back to your home, this is our home, not yours, go back to your doghouse."
Changsheng didn't get any useful information, so naturally he couldn't give up. He could only continue to pick up stones and throw them at the city wall. At the same time, he shouted in a mixed language of Japanese and Chinese to find beautiful women and to go to bed and go home.
"General, is this man in the same group as the Japanese who just entered the city?" someone asked on the city wall.
The leader frowned and shook his head, "No way. If the commander also invited him, how could he become so virtuous after drinking?"
"That's right, didn't you hear that he is looking for a beautiful woman? He must be a prostitute in the city again." Someone else said.
"We can't let him in. I heard Sister Qiao say that these guys are very wretched. They don't have much ability but they turn into Fang'er's tormentors."
"Hahaha, isn't Sister Qiao your sweetheart? After being fucked by them, can you still want her?"
"Fuck, what's the point? They're only two inches long."
"Haha, a dog is only two inches taller, and a dog..."
"Okay," the leader of the army raised his eyebrows and shouted, "You are officers of the school, not thugs in the market, saying dirty words."
Hearing this man's words, everyone hurriedly changed the subject, "General, what should we do with this guy?"
"Ignore him, let him shout from below." The leader turned and walked away.
"General, if those people invited by the marshal see him when he leaves the city, will they report it to the marshal? Besides, if he has trouble outside the city, we will have nothing to do with it. How about we send a few brothers to him? Send it back to Qilin Town."
"Can you have some backbone?" The leader of the army turned back angrily, "Leave him alone and kill him if he dies."
The goal of immortality was finally achieved, but Datou and Shi Xuanming hadn't arrived yet, and he couldn't leave immediately. He could only stumble and throw stones from the city.
After a while, Datou and Shi Xuanming arrived. It was dark in the night and ordinary soldiers could not see them. However, the leading generals had spiritual cultivation and noticed that someone was approaching quickly and came to the section of the wall near the city gate again.
Datou and Shi Xuanming didn't know Japanese and didn't know what to say. Changsheng hurriedly whispered, "Stop me from taking your weapons."
After Changsheng finished speaking, he yelled and cursed loudly and went to grab the Longwei that Datou held in his hand. After being stopped by Datou, he went to grab Shi Xuanming's green sinking gun, but Shi Xuanming also stopped him.
"Drag me south." Changsheng instructed in a low voice again.
After hearing this, the two men hurriedly set up Changsheng and dragged them south. Changsheng showed an angry attitude and frequently snatched their weapons.
"Why are the Japanese so tall?" Shi Xuanming's height aroused the suspicion of the defenders.
"It's rare to see someone so short." Datou's height also attracted the attention of the defenders.
Fortunately, the three of them did not insist on entering the city, and the soldiers on the city wall did not think too much. They stood on the city wall and watched them leave south.
Changsheng was too lazy to struggle, and he was afraid that the defenders would find something unusual, so he whispered, "Master, pick me up."
After hearing Chang Sheng's words, Shi Xuanming carried Chang Sheng on his shoulders. Although he and Da Tou also drank wine, they did not pretend to be drunk, so they walked quickly and the defenders did not become suspicious.
Chang Sheng said quickly while kicking his legs and shaking, "Japanese pirates do not live in the city on weekdays, but live in Qilin Town in the south of the city. Before we arrived, some Japanese pirates were invited to the city by Sun Ru. We now have two There are two choices, one is to venture into the city and take advantage of the leader of the group, the other is to take advantage of the opportunity and go to Qilin Town to take advantage of the Japanese pirates' lair."
Datou was the first to express his position, "Sir, the war is imminent, and there must be many experts in the city. The pot of the three of us is too small to stew so many bastards. To say the least, even if we kill them all, it will be difficult to escape intact. According to I think we should go to Qilin Town and visit their old home."
"What Xiao Zizi said makes sense," Shi Xuanming said, "Don't you still want to save people? If your senior sister is really caught by them, she should be locked up in Qilin Town."
"Go to Qilin Town." Changsheng nodded seriously. After saying this, he remembered that he had not kicked for a long time, and he did not forget to struggle again.
After a while, the three of them were out of sight of the defenders, and the two of them hid in the woods under Chang Sheng's instruction.
Shi Xuanming put down Changsheng and followed Changsheng to the west with Datou. This place was too far away from the city wall. Changsheng did not dare to whistle to summon the black master, so he could only walk there.
"Sir, how do you know that the Japanese pirates are in the south of the city?" Datou finally asked his doubts.
"I don't know," Changsheng shook his head and said, "The reason why I detoured to the south gate is because compared to the west gate, the defense of the south gate should be looser. After all, Tongchen's army is in the northwest of Jianghuai."
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, Da Tou suddenly realized that he had always thought that he had been in the market all year round and was well-informed and agile. However, he did not expect that Chang Sheng was not only good at strategizing, but also very good at adapting to changes.
After a while, the three men retrieved their horses and rode south.
Although Changsheng was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he could only remember the prefectures and counties, and did not know where Qilin Town was. Fortunately, after traveling for more than ten miles, he met a few hungry local people sleeping on the roadside, and after asking, he learned Qilin Town is fifty miles away to the south.
What the three of them didn't expect was that these hungry people actually lived in Qilin Town. According to them, the government forced them to move out of Qilin Town at the beginning of spring. It was precisely because they lost their land and delayed their farming that they did this. Embarrassed.
Changsheng originally wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about the Japanese pirates, but these hungry people knew nothing about the current situation in Qilin Town because the government strictly prohibited local villagers from setting foot there.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't know the current situation of Qilin Town. Changsheng then inquired about the access routes to Qilin Town and learned that there are three roads in Qilin Town, one mountain road going east into the mountains, and two small roads heading west into the official road.
The three of them all came from poor backgrounds and could not bear to see the tragic images of the victims. Before leaving, Datou gave the victims some silver coins, while Changsheng told them to put out the bonfire and spend the night away from official roads.
The reason why Chang Sheng gave such instructions was that he was worried that the soldiers guarding the city would chase after them to confirm if they became suspicious. If the officers and soldiers encountered these hungry people, and the hungry people told the officers and soldiers that the three of them were asking about the location of Qilin Town, the officers and soldiers would immediately know that the three of them were fake, and they would Return to Shengzhou to report the alarm as soon as possible.
Although this possibility was extremely small, he did not dare to be careless. Back then, he, Chen Liqiu and others sneaked into Chang'an and burned Pingkangfang. Afterwards, he felt that he had done it perfectly, and finally Yu Yi discovered the clues. As the saying goes, being cautious makes a boat sail forever. It is tiring to be careful all the time, but compared to the embarrassment and danger after an accident, the tiredness is really nothing.
And since he left Wangjiakuang with his master and others, although he has encountered many unpredictable dangers, he has always been able to turn danger into good luck and escape from death. This is also due to his vigilance and caution in times of peace.
Qilin Town is sixty miles away from Shengzhou, and it usually takes two quarters of an hour for a horse to run. Qilin Town is located on the east side of the official road, about five or six miles away from the official road. These are completely consistent with what the hungry people said.
The three of them did not enter from the north path, but continued southbound, entering from the second south path leading to Qilin Town. After turning into the eastbound path, Changsheng turned around and looked around. Seeing the mountains surrounding the north, he had some concerns. , "Since we can't see the fire here since Shengzhou, we don't have to worry about it after taking action. Moreover, the town is full of Japanese pirates, so we don't need to surrender to the rat."
The battle was about to begin. Datou and Shi Xuanming were very excited. When they heard Chang Sheng's words, they became even more excited and answered in unison, "Okay."
Since Qilin Town is located in the Jianghuai area, and the Jianghuai area has rebelled against the imperial court, coupled with its large number of people, the Japanese pirates in Qilin Town never expected that anyone would come to attack them, so there were no sentries posted outside the town.
Approaching the town, the three of them dismounted and hid the horses in the forest. Then they approached quietly and looked around.
At this time, the Japanese pirates in Qilin Town were sitting around various fires, drinking, laughing, or playing, and there were lights and candles in various houses. A rough estimate is that there are at least a thousand people in the entire town.
"Since these people were sent to China by the Japanese country, they must have gone through thousands of selections," Changsheng said seriously, "and we have dealt with them before, and we know that they are not good enemies. This battle must be an unprecedented bloody battle."
"We are not old women, we can only eat soft persimmons," Datou turned to look at Shi Xuanming, "A real man, are you afraid?"
"What do you think?" Shi Xuanming smiled.
Changsheng said, "Later, we will divide our troops into three groups. Master, you rush out directly and kill everyone on sight. You must not be merciful. Datou, you set fire first. After setting fires everywhere, go to help Master. I will observe for a while and wait until Finally join the war.”
"Okay." The two nodded.
"There are too many of them, so we definitely can't wipe them all out. Kill as many as we can, and try to kill as many as possible." Changsheng said again.
The two nodded again.
Changsheng took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice, "Do it..."
