Chapter 1192: Hand-to-hand combat

At night, outside the southern city of Linyun City.

Just as the people in the city were moving, Chen Guangzong and Gu Chen stood on a hill, looking at Linyun County hidden in the night with expressionless faces, and behind them were densely packed with Japanese soldiers and Japanese robbers.

Among the four reinforcements sent by Lin Xin to ask for help, the reinforcements to the south and west roads were ambushed by the Japanese soldiers who were ambushed on the side of the road, and they were killed and wounded, so Chen Guangzong and Gu Chen already knew that their siege plan had been revealed.

The east of Linyun County is the sea, and the north is the mountains, so the two of them sent people to guard the official roads in the south and west, because these are the two most likely paths for Li Yuntian to evacuate.

Although the Japanese soldiers stopped the cavalry coming out from the south gate and the west gate, many of the cavalry who went to ask for help from the east gate and the north gate avoided the pursuit of the Japanese soldiers who were ambushed on the road, and made a detour to the south and west of Linyun County to ask for help.

Compared with Linyun County, Chen Guangzong's Japanese people in his hands were limited, and it was impossible to block the four gates of the county, so there were only more than 100 people outside the east gate and the north gate to guard, and they were rushed by those cavalry.

Chen Guangzong and Gu Chen knew very well that there would be a steady stream of reinforcements coming from nearby states and counties tomorrow, so there was not enough time left for them, and the officials of nearby states and counties would definitely do their best to come to the rescue, if Li Yuntian had an accident, no one could afford to bear it.

Although the Ming army's guard troops were not the opponents of those Japanese soldiers and Japanese soldiers, after all, there were many people, and Li Yuntian's prestige in the army was very high, so there must be many people who would fight hard with the Japanese soldiers and Japanese soldiers in order to save Li Yuntian.

What is particularly important is that since Li Yuntian came to Jiangnan, the entire Jiangnan garrison army has stepped up its drills, and the military attaches of the various capitals and guards are afraid that Li Yuntian will find trouble, after all, every time Li Yuntian comes to Jiangnan, he will definitely inspect the local guards, and then the military attaches of the guards will be investigated and dealt with because of their negligence in drills, and they don't want to repeat the mistakes of those unlucky people.

"My lord, the siege personnel are ready." A Japanese soldier rode a horse and galloped quickly, reporting to Chen Guangzong in a loud voice.

"Pass it on, and attack the city immediately." Chen Guangzong's eyes flashed fiercely when he heard this, and he said gloomily, "Whoever kills the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!" ”

"The little one obeys." The soldier answered, jumped on his horse and galloped away, going to convey Chen Guangzong's order.

Since the officials and troops in the city were already prepared, Chen Guangzong and Gu Chen decided to take advantage of the transfer of the people in the city to launch an attack, which would inevitably make the situation in the city chaotic and give the Japanese soldiers and robbers who attacked the city an opportunity.

"Brother, what will you do with Li Yuntian if you catch him?" After the Japanese soldier left, Gu Chen looked at Chen Guangzong with a smile, this was the closest opportunity to seize Li Yuntian, maybe he could capture Li Yuntian alive.

"Ten thousand broken corpses!" Chen Guangzong sneered, and four words burst out of his mouth coldly, in order to assassinate Li Yuntian, he would rather give up Zijuan, which shows the depth of hatred for Li Yuntian.

Gu Chen's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, he knew that Chen Guangzong hated Li Yuntian, but if it was him, he would give Li Yuntian a dignified death, because Li Yuntian was an opponent worthy of his respect, which might be the biggest difference between him and Chen Guangzong.

With Chen Guangzong's attack order, the Japanese soldiers and Japanese soldiers who were ambushed outside the south and west gates of Linyun County slowly approached in the night.

"Lord Wang, they are here." On the tower of the gate of Nancheng, a sailor general stretched out his hand and pointed to the Japanese soldiers and Japanese soldiers moving in the moonlight, and said to Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

"The big war is coming, please return to the city to sit in the town to calm the army!" At this time, Wang Lu, who was standing aside, bowed his hand to Li Yuntian and said loudly.

Li Yuntian is not only the backbone of the military and civilians in Linyun County, but also the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, so he must not have an accident, and it is naturally not suitable to stay in the city gate tower that is about to become a battlefield.

"Please return to the city to sit in the town to calm the army's heart!" Hearing this, the civil and military officials at the scene bowed to Li Yuntian one after another and said.

"I'll leave it to you." Li Yuntian glanced at the Japanese soldiers and Japanese soldiers approaching outside the city, and said in a deep voice to the previous general of the sailor.

"The prince can rest assured, he will fulfill his duties and do his best to stop the enemy army." The sailor general bowed his hand at Li Yuntian and replied solemnly.

According to Li Yuntian's inference, Chen Guangzong and Gu Chen would definitely attack the South Gate and the West Gate in order to prevent him from breaking through, so that they could also give full play to their superiority in strength, so that the Ming army in the city had to divide their troops to deal with it.

Therefore, it can be expected that the south gate and the west gate of Linyun County will have a fierce battle, becoming two important battlefields to block the Japanese soldiers and the Japanese invaders.

"If the city gates cannot be guarded, retreat to the city and fight with them in the streets, and do not fight recklessly." From the resolute eyes of the sailor general, Li Yuntian knew that he was determined to die, so he couldn't help but say a word, in his opinion, street fighting was the main theme of tonight's war.

"Humble duty understands!" The sailor general bowed down and replied loudly, he was the general in charge of the battle in Nancheng, so he naturally knew the burden on his shoulders.

Soon after Li Yuntian walked down the city gate, a deafening shout of killing came from outside the city, and the Japanese soldiers and Japanese invaders launched an attack, and the Ming soldiers on the city wall drew their bows with arrows and waited for the battle.

After turning his head and glancing at the city gate tower, Li Yuntian left with a cold expression surrounded by everyone, because Gu Chen had explosives, the city gate tower could not stop the enemy army for a long time, and the brutal street battle was about to break out.

To be honest, Li Yuntian now feels a little remorseful, if he hadn't let Chen Guangzong go back then, he wouldn't have fallen into today's crisis, he never imagined that Chen Guangzong would be so hostile to him, and would actually make a crazy move to transfer troops from the Wa State to assassinate him.

If Chen Guangzong can be caught this time, Li Yuntian will definitely put him to death, not only because Chen Guangzong wants to put him to death, but more importantly, Chen Guangzong has a lot of power in the Japanese state, which will hinder the implementation of his strategy of the Japanese state.

It is worth mentioning that in the Wa Kingdom, Keiko Yamaguchi's main opponent was Chen Guangzong, but Chen Guangzong used the name of a Wa State - Domoto Munemitsu, a Japanese leader who was once attached to Aoki Akishin, the great leader of the Wakos.

It has to be said that Chen Guangzong, who was once in charge of the private salt business of the Lianghuai Salt Road, was scheming, and after escaping from Jiaozhi, he first gained a firm foothold in the Wako with the help of Aoki Mingxin, and then made friends with the local forces of the Wa State, and then suddenly became a local daimyo in the war of the Wa State, and opposed Keiko Yamaguchi everywhere.

Therefore, Li Yuntian will not let Chen Guangzong go this time no matter what, he cannot tolerate Chen Guangzong to sabotage the plan he has made for the Wa Kingdom, compared to the other great names of the Wa State, Chen Guangzong, who has great hatred for Li Yuntian and the Ming Dynasty, is more dangerous.

Rumble!

As soon as Li Yuntian entered the courtyard gate of his residence, a dull explosion sounded behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that the direction of the Nancheng City Gate Tower was blazing into the sky, and thick smoke was billowing out, and it was obvious that the enemy troops besieging the city had used explosives.

After shaking his head, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and then he walked into the courtyard quickly, before the battle of the Western Regions, no one could have imagined that one day the explosives made by the Lecture Hall would be used against the buildings of the Ming Dynasty, and it posed a lot of threats to him, the founder of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall.

As the gate of the southern city of Linyun County was blown open by explosives, the sky above the county seat of Linyun County resounded with a tragic fight, and the soldiers of the Ming army defending the city and the attacking Japanese people launched a desperate fight, and no one had a way to retreat for both sides.

Soon after, a huge explosion was heard at the west gate, and the Japanese launched an attack on the Ming army in the city from the west gate and the south gate at the same time, making half of the county seat of Linyun County a battlefield.

Like the guards around Li Yuntian, Keiko Yamaguchi and Lin Xin had already changed into military uniforms and quietly guarded in the small courtyard where Li Yuntian lived, ready to protect Li Yuntian's safety with their lives.

Li Yuntian seemed more relaxed, teaching Li Shan to play Go in the room, the so-called planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, he has made corresponding arrangements for the enemy's attack, so the next thing is only to resign to fate.

Although Li Shan's real name is Fujitang Anguo, Li Yuntian still likes his name "Li Shan", so he usually calls him "Shan'er" and loves Li Shan very much.

"The prince is really calm." Looking at the figures of Li Yuntian and Li Shan printed on the window, Wang Lu, who was guarding the courtyard, couldn't help but sigh to Keiko Yamaguchi and Lin Xin, if it was him, he would have been restless now.

"The prince has experienced many winds and waves, and he has long been surprised." Lin Xin smiled slightly when she heard this, and replied proudly, if Li Yuntian was frightened by this little scene, how could he sit in this position today.

Compared with Lin Xin, who looked normal, Keiko Yamaguchi looked a little worried, frowning and listening carefully to the approaching shouts and killing in the distance.

Keiko Yamaguchi had fought against Chen Guangzong in the Wa Kingdom before, and knew that Chen Guangzong had a good training for his subordinates, so the soldiers were very capable of fighting and were a difficult opponent to deal with.

Moreover, according to Keiko Yamaguchi's understanding, as Li Yuntian exterminated the Japanese invaders along the Ming coast in one fell swoop six years ago, those stubborn Japanese invaders turned their activities to Korea, which made the Korean country suffer deeply, and most of these Japanese were extremely vicious people, which would bring great trouble to the Ming army in the city.

"Sister, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and the prince will definitely turn the danger into a disaster." Lin Xin noticed that Keiko Yamaguchi was uneasy, so she stepped forward and smiled and comforted.

Even if the enemy army can attack Li Yuntian's house, Li Yuntian will not be in danger, and the elite troops of the sailor division responsible for protecting Li Yuntian will escort Li Yuntian to break through from the northern city, as long as they enter the mountain, they will be safe.

After a scuffle with the Ming soldiers, the Japanese soldiers must have suffered heavy casualties and were unable to enter the mountains to pursue, otherwise they would definitely be trapped and killed in the unfamiliar place.

Of course, breaking through is a last resort, Li Yuntian really wants to live and die with Linyun County, but he is now in a high position, and he can't easily say life and death, so he can only break through with the army, and then wait for the opportunity to avenge the people who died in the war.

"My sister believes that the prince will escape this fate." A smile appeared at the corner of Yamaguchi's mouth when she heard this, and then she held Lin Xin's hand and said solemnly, "The prince will entrust it to you, you must protect the safety of the prince." ”

"Hmm." Lin Xin felt that Keiko Yamaguchi's reaction at this time was a little strange, so she nodded subconsciously, even if Keiko Yamaguchi didn't say anything, he would do his best to protect Li Yuntian.

Keiko Yamaguchi smiled, turned her head to look at the figure reflected in the window, and resolutely walked away, she couldn't wait here, she wanted to go to help the Ming army in the city.

The corners of Lin Xin's mouth squirmed and wanted to call Keiko Yamaguchi, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back, with her understanding of Keiko Yamaguchi, since Keiko Yamaguchi had made up her mind, she would definitely not change her mind easily.

From the matter of Keiko Yamaguchi's departure, Lin Xin felt the tragedy of the war in the city, otherwise Keiko Yamaguchi would definitely not rush to help the battle in person, which made her can't help but clench her fists, it seems that tonight will be a long night.
