The birds are tired and know the forest. At sunset and dusk, the grass swings are very lively, hundreds of birds return to their habitats, and a layer of snow seems to have fallen on the dense aquatic grass reeds, and the squeaking birds are noisy. However, there is a large area of reeds in the depths of the grass that no resident birds have landed on, and occasionally one or two resident birds try to land, and then they will flapp their wings and fly away.

At this time, the thieves were hiding in this grass, about a hundred people. The environment in the grass was nothing short of harsh, with stinking mud and guano beneath your feet, jagged reed leaves all around, and blood-sucking mosquitoes buzzing like bombers.

Despite this, the thieves still held their breath and tried not to make a sound, only the wounded thieves could not bear the pain, and occasionally let out a low moan.

Orishin Miko had already wrapped her head and face with clothes, but she still couldn't resist the pervasive mosquitoes, and her white and tender neck was full of red bumps, and even her eyelids were patronized by mosquitoes.

However, the physical torture is far less than the frustration in Ori Shinmiko's heart at the moment, and it is no wonder that the carefully set game was originally perfect, but the final result was unsatisfactory.

Hosokawa Takeshu stood aside and comforted: "Miss Miko's strategy is very clever, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army, we would definitely be able to eat this Ming army that entered the urn, and we didn't suffer a loss this time, at least killed more than 30 people on the other side, killed and wounded nearly 100 people, and also captured five flintlock pistols." After this battle, the Ming army resolutely did not dare to search and kill rashly, and our goal has been basically achieved. ”

Ori Shin Miko shook her head and said: "Your Excellency Hosokawa, we have underestimated the five hundred battalions from the beginning, even if there are no firearms in hand, their combat power is also very strong, even if the other party has no reinforcements, to completely annihilate this Ming army, we still have to pay a great price, and we can't get it at all." So we're going to have to adjust our strategy. ”

Hosokawa Takeshu said appreciatively, "Oh, how is Miko-sama going to adjust?" ”

"Abandon the ship and take the land route to avoid the waterway, so that we can flexibly choose the direction and more easily get rid of the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army."

Ouchi Sect immediately echoed: "What Miss Miko said is very true, and I agree to go by land. ”

Hosokawa Takeshu glanced coldly at Ouchi Sosui, who was not afraid to salute him, and said proudly, "Could it be that Your Excellency Hosokawa disagrees?" ”

Although Ouchi Soshu is not as good as Hosokawa Takeshu in martial arts, he obviously doesn't want to show weakness to Hosokawa Takeshu in front of Ori Shin Miko, as a male, he knows very well that once he bows his head to other males in front of females, there is no possibility of gaining the favor of this female.

Hosokawa Takeshu's face was slightly gloomy, and he said coldly: "I naturally agree with Miss Miko's decision." ”

There is no doubt that both Hosokawa Takeshu and Ouchi Sosa have some intentions against Orinobu Miko, otherwise it would be impossible to look forward to her.

First of all, Orishin Miko herself is a high-quality beauty that makes people feel excited, and secondly, the energy of the Orishin family in Japan is not small, and it would obviously be beneficial to marry her. Hosokawa Takeshu can use this to improve his status in the Hosokawa family, and Ouchi Sect also wants to use this to regain the attention of the Ouchi family.

"Since Your Excellency Wushu and Your Excellency Zongshi have agreed, then let's abandon the ship and go by land." The corners of Orishibumiko's mouth curled slightly.

This woman is ambitious, although a little arrogant, but she is not lacking in scheming, she is very aware of the intentions of these two men, so she deliberately behaves impartially between the two, if they are about to leave, make full use of their own advantages, and let the two men serve her.

"Your uncle, Lao Tzu has endured you for a long time, what are you talking about in the Japanese language? They all fucking speak Chinese to Lao Tzu. Chen Dong said angrily with a dark face.

It is said that in this Huluzui ambush, Chen Dong's pirates suffered the most casualties, but they did not achieve the expected effect.

Orishin Miko's face sank and said, "Chen Dongjun, it's rude to speak to a woman so rudely!" ”

Chen Dong laughed angrily and said: "Lao Tzu is a rude and rude pirate, don't deal with Lao Tzu these useless things, I used to think that the ambush strategy was good, Lao Tzu just listened to you once, you don't take yourself too seriously, you anger Lao Tzu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu is on your day, and then share it with the brothers below to be happy." ”

Chen Dong's pirates all laughed maliciously.

"Yaga!" Orishimiko Huo Ran stood up, the sword was unsheathed, and his eyes stared at Chen Dong coldly, the latter stood up fearlessly, and the nearby pirates also stood up and drew their swords in their hands, and some people even aimed their bows and crossbows at Orishimiko.

Although there were many pirates killed and injured along the way, the number was still the largest, accounting for six or seven percent of the total number, and the samurai under Ouchi Soshu and Hosokawa Takeshu combined were only thirty-eight, and Ori Shin Miko was a single commander, with only two Japanese maidens who served her to follow.

Hosokawa Takeshu's eyes sharpened, and he said solemnly: "Little Master Pujing, Miss Miko is a noble person even in our Japan, and I hope you can give her the respect she deserves." ”

The Great Inner Sect arched his hand at Chen Dong and said, "Chen Dongjun, with all due respect, you treat a lady like this very ungracefully. Now that everyone is in the same boat, shouldn't we be in the same boat? ”

Pujing glanced at Chen Dong, who gestured very obediently, and all the pirates put down their weapons one after another, and Ori Shin Miko also angrily put her sword into the sheath and said coldly: "We plan to abandon the ship and go by land!" ”

Pujing frowned and said, "Why? ”

Ori Shin Miko explained: "The Ming army set up barriers on the upper waterways, and it was better to avoid the Ming army's checkpoints by land, and the Ming army must have thought that we would take the water route, and it would be a miracle to do the opposite." ”

Chen Dong pouted and said, "Come on, it's the most convenient way to travel by boat in this area, not to mention what if you take the land route, what will happen to the injured brother?" And the Ming army has horses, and our two-legged people can outrun four-legged animals? ”

Orishimiko said in a deep voice: "Let's walk day and night, the Ming army is not easy to find, as for the injured brothers, they can take turns to carry them on their backs." What's more, sea boats are rare, and ordinary fishing boats are still easy to find, so if you really need a boat, let's collect them along the river. The priority was to get rid of the five hundred battalions. ”

Chen Dong sneered: "This is a plain area, and there is no way to find a tall mountain forest, if you are discovered by the Ming cavalry by land, then there is really only a dead end." Whoever of you likes to take the land route, anyway, Lao Tzu takes the water route. ”

"Yes, let's go by water!" A group of pirates echoed one after another, especially those who had injuries on their bodies and could not walk, and they made a particularly loud noise, allowing people to carry them on their backs, and they would definitely be the first to be left behind in case of danger, so they preferred to choose to take a ship.

Monk Pujing hesitated for a moment, feeling that he should still stand on his own side, and Chen Dong was not unreasonable, so he said lightly: "Take the waterway." ”
