Tong Chen led a group of monks to charge forward, and the three of them followed closely behind, protecting Yang Kai.
Seeing their own people rushing forward, some of the Japanese pirates immediately shouted loudly and separated a group of Japanese pirates to intercept them.
Changsheng was moving quickly among the enemy group at this time. When he heard someone giving an order, he hurriedly followed the sound and looked to the northwest. However, there were so many Japanese pirates and there were so many people in the melee that he could not find the person who gave the order for a while.
Although the enemy leader was not found, the tone of this person's order was quite calm, which made Changsheng secretly worried. Logically speaking, the Japanese pirates should be nervous and panicked when they suffered heavy casualties. Until now, the enemy leader could still There are only two possibilities for being calm and collected. One is that this person is calm in dealing with things and does not panic in the face of danger. Another possibility is that the Japanese pirates have a powerful back-up plan, and the enemy leader is confident.
Just when Chang Sheng was thinking anxiously, this person once again shouted an order from the northwest, ordering the group of Japanese pirates who were going to intercept everyone on his side to kill Yang Kai at all costs.
Changsheng was determined to follow the sound and capture the bandit chieftain, but he was trapped in a tight siege. There were Japanese pirates everywhere around him. He couldn't change places as he pleased. He didn't just go where he wanted, but he could move wherever there was a gap in the crowd. You don't dare to use Flying in the Air at this time. Once you fly in the air, you will immediately become the target of public criticism.
After hearing the leader's order, the group of Japanese pirates who were facing their own people rushed towards Yang Kai like crazy. Since Yang Kai was under the strict protection of his own people and could not get close to him from the ground, the Japanese pirate dogs jumped over the wall and jumped up one after another. Swooping and swooping from the sky.
Facing the Japanese pirates who frequently fell like raindrops, Shi Xuanming wielded the green gun and struck forward and backward, picking left and right, and stopped most of them. The remaining ones were dealt with by Da Tou and Yu Yi. Under the interception of the bow, the Japanese pirates who luckily rushed into their own camp died before landing. Occasionally, if a fish slipped through the net, Yang Kai would use his sword to make up for it.
Just as the enemy and we were fighting in a melee, Changsheng suddenly found that the originally blocked aura around him suddenly became unobstructed, but after a moment, the aura was blocked again.
Sensing a change in the aura, Changsheng hurriedly looked southwest through the gap in the crowd. The brief smoothness of the surrounding aura showed that the formation had been turned off just now, but it was quickly restored artificially.
Changsheng was eager to determine what happened in the area where the formation's eye was located. However, there were many trees in that area, making it impossible to see the clues. At the same time, it was impossible to determine who had turned off the formation, because the enemy and we had not yet entered the final battle. Never showed signs of failure.
If you think about it carefully, there are two possibilities. One is that the person who turned off and restored the formation is the same person, and the other possibility is that the person who turned off and restored the formation is not the same person.
After thinking anxiously, Changsheng felt that the first possibility was more likely, because he was not at a disadvantage at the moment. Zhang Mo had no need to turn off the formation, and the Japanese pirates were not at a disadvantage. Similarly, they did not turn off the formation. The necessity of formation. In addition, even if Zhang Mo takes the initiative, she will not use the method of closing and restoring the formation to inform everyone on her side that the formation is under her control.
After eliminating all possibilities, what is left is the truth. If nothing else, the ones who close and restore the formation should be the Japanese pirates' mages. In this way, they tell the Japanese pirates in the formation that the formation is currently under their control. among.
Thinking of this, Changsheng's heart suddenly shuddered. If this were true, the battle between Zhang Mo and the Japanese pirate master would end with Zhang Mo's defeat.
Just when Changsheng was secretly worried, a sharp pain suddenly came from behind him. It is best not to be distracted when facing an enemy in battle. A Japanese pirate took advantage of his distraction and brandished a Japanese sword to suddenly attack him from behind. He opened his clothes and slashed him. on his back.
Changsheng turned around and drew his sword, killing the Japanese pirate directly, then changed his body and moved to another place.
Although he was extremely worried about Zhang Mo, Chang Sheng did not dare to be distracted in the slightest. He braced himself and moved quickly among the enemy group, charging and killing.
At some point, smoke suddenly appeared around him. Sensing the smoke, Chang Sheng hurriedly inhaled to examine it, but found that the smoke was not poisonous smoke, but ordinary smoke.
Chang Sheng looked around eagerly while flashing rapidly, and saw smoke appearing a hundred feet away to the west, where a large amount of firewood was piled up. After lighting the firewood, several Japanese pirates quickly piled fresh branches on top of the firewood. The branches are difficult to burn and produce a lot of thick smoke after covering the fire.
Seeing thick smoke rising into the sky, Changsheng immediately understood that the other party was using beacon fire to convey messages. This discovery made his heart heavier, because all the Japanese pirates gathered at Gupo Mountain at this time. The Japanese pirates lit beacon fire to show that they were conveying messages and calling for help. But the incident happened suddenly, and he really couldn't think of what kind of helpers the Japanese pirates could invite. But one thing he was sure of was that the helpers the Japanese pirates invited were far away from here, otherwise the Japanese pirates would not notify them with beacon fire. .
With the lessons learned from the past, Changsheng no longer dared to be distracted, quickly changed positions, rushed out of the enemy group, and joined his own people.
Datou rushed to Changsheng and fought alongside him, "Your Majesty, something is wrong. They are setting fire to call people."
Before Chang Sheng could answer, Yang Kai's voice came from behind, "The formation was loose for a moment, and then the Japanese pirates started to light a bonfire."
"Don't worry about it. The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with earth." Changsheng said loudly.
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, everyone on our side felt at ease. Little did they know that the reason why Chang Sheng said this was not to be sure of victory, but to stabilize the morale of the army in desperation. Yang Kai was right. After the formation was turned off and on, the Japanese pirates immediately started Lighting a bonfire means that the Japanese pirate master is telling the Japanese pirate leader in this way that the formation has been controlled by them. It is precisely after knowing this situation that the Japanese pirates will light the beacon to summon helpers. If the Japanese pirates do not control the formation Even if they light up the beacon fire and invite helpers, they still won't be able to enter the formation.
The enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered. Changsheng was not sure of victory in this battle, but now something unexpected happened. At this time, he was not only worried about Zhang Mo's safety, but also worried about the possible enemy reinforcements that would appear later. At the moment, the Japanese pirates were still There are more than 1,500 people, and it will be difficult for them to deal with these Japanese pirates alone. If the Japanese pirates invite help again, they will definitely lose.
Although he was nervous and worried, Changsheng never showed it. As a leader and commander, he must be able to withstand pressure and not be sad at all times. No matter how bad the situation is, he must be strong and face it bravely.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to put out their beacon fire." Datou said loudly.
"No need," Changsheng said seriously, "The beacon is only suitable for transmitting information to a distance. Even if the Japanese pirates have reinforcements, they are still far away. It will take a long time from seeing the beacon to arriving here. They are preparing for the battle. That's too late."
Changsheng's words are also to boost the morale of his own side. In fact, since the Japanese pirates have lit the beacon fire, it means that they think they have enough time, and in fact, there is still enough time. At present, there are still more than 1,500 Japanese pirates, and after the previous After a fierce melee and two waves of attacks, there were only thirty Shaolin monks left on our side who could still fight. It was impossible to kill so many Japanese pirates in a short period of time.
"The Japanese pirates have come out in full force, where are the reinforcements coming from?" Yu Yiduo was confused. She had made several previous investigations and had determined that all the Japanese pirates were gathered in Gupo Mountain.
Changsheng heard Yu Yi's words but did not respond, because Yu Yi's doubts were also his doubts.
At this moment, Da Tou suddenly approached Chang Sheng and whispered, "My lord, look, is it Sasaki who threw the branches into the fire..."
