Chasing thousands of Japanese pirates with hundreds of cavalry was not Li Xin's carelessness of the enemy, but these cavalry were all veterans of a hundred battles who had been conquering since the beginning of Shanxi, and it was more than enough to deal with thousands of rabble. In fact, it was also true, when the muskets and cannons of the infantry battalion were fired indiscriminately, the Japanese were already discouraged when they failed to attack and were defeated, and the cavalry that came diagonally from both flanks undoubtedly made their situation worse. Niu Jinsong could not personally pursue the remnants of the enemy on horseback because of his responsibility to protect Li Xin, so he could only sigh with admiration.

"Alas! If the general is not in the army, I will definitely be able to behead more than 100 levels in this battle! ”

What he said was just boasting, he could kill the heads of a hundred people in a one-night battle, even if one person gathered the strength of two people, he would not be physically exhausted.

Li Xin knew that this was Niu Jinsong deliberately talking in front of him, so he didn't say anything, but teased: "This kind of rabble, even if you cut off thousands of heads, what can you do?" Do you still want to be crowned a marquis? Niu Jinsong has never thought about meritorious service, he is worried about killing all the way to the past, stretching and stretching his muscles and bones, these days, living in Nanjing for a long time, the body has been raised out of fat, if you don't kill well, I am afraid that the strength of a body is less than fifty.

"Don't worry, there will be a big battle to fight soon, you can leave these hors d'oeuvres in front of you!"

Seeing that Niu Jinsong was depressed, Li Xin hurriedly comforted him.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, "What's going on ahead?" Why the noise? ”

Niu Jinsong stood vigilantly in front of Li Xin and asked the soldiers on guard in front.

"General Hui, there is a force of real Japanese who suddenly stiffened and did not die, and suddenly entered the phalanx, my new army is not good at close combat, and they took advantage of it, and now it has subsided, only a few people have fled!"

Hearing that there were still people who fled in the heavy phalanx, Niu Jinsong reprimanded: "A group of waste, so many people let the Japanese invaders and let them escape calmly!" ”

At this time, the guide standing beside Li Xin had the courage to explain a few words to those new army soldiers for some reason.

"Hou Rongyu, this southeast Japanese has always had a true and false Japanese saying. Fake pirates are pretended to be coastal thieves by me and make a living by looting. The real Wako is the real Wako ronin, these people are ferocious and violent, not to mention looting, but also killing people without blinking, and their courage is ten times better than the former! ”

Li Xin did not doubt the local guide's statement. The strength of the Japanese Bandits' combat effectiveness is not in the bravery, but in the heart. They have the heart of death in every battle, and when they fight, they are naturally better than ordinary pirates. However, when it comes to a thousand ways and ten thousand, the Japanese are just a personal bravery, in front of the Three Guards armed with iron discipline and military discipline, how is it different from using a mantis arm as a car?

"Come on, just run away with a few people! Now the most important thing is to rush to Xiaoshan as soon as possible! ”

At this time, the guide suggested to Li Xin: "Hou Rongyu, the villain suggests that all the pirates who escaped from the crisis should be killed regardless of their identity, otherwise these people will still be pirates who plague the coastal people in the future!" ”

Originally, Niu Jinsong was very dissatisfied with this guide, but now he listened to his idea and turned to agree.

"General, it is also recommended under the mark! In extraordinary times, we should do extraordinary things! ”

He knew that the Marquis of Zhenju had always been kind-hearted and soft-faced, and he would never kill lightly unless he was forced to do so, so he strengthened the tone of persuasion and even dragged a sentence. As a result, what Niu Jinsong didn't expect was that Li Xin actually nodded and agreed, which made him sigh with emotion, it seems that in order to persuade the general, he still needs to learn Mi Yan's words to work.

"Wait!"

Li Xin suddenly stopped Niu Jinsong again, which made his heart tremble, didn't the Great General of the Heart Dao change his mind again?

"Find a few Han captives and torture them first, don't kill them all without asking!"

"Yes, I know!"

The Japanese invaders came fast, and they did not run slowly, hundreds of cavalry pursued and killed all the way to the west, and the battlefield that was originally chaotic and noisy people and neighing quickly fell silent and calmed down, Li Xin personally interrogated a few prisoners, and then he knew that the original group of Japanese robbers in front of him was the Japanese who besieged Xiaoshan County.

Where is Niu Jinsong willing to believe that these widows in front of him are vulnerable, and they can only withstand a moment under the hands of the Three Guards, how can they connect several county towns in Zhejiang? In his opinion, the captives' words were either full of nonsense or their delaying tactics.

"It's really nonsense, with your kind of virtue, can you still count several cities?" Under the angry shouting, Niu Jinsong killed two Japanese prisoners in a row, so frightened that those people did not dare to speak out again. Li Xin frowned, and said to stop: "Cow Dan, stop, what they said may not be false!" ”

"The Great General......

Niu Jinsong didn't know how to respond, he just didn't believe that the rumored wouldn't be so vulnerable. Li Xin said slowly: "The Japanese are not invincible, but the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty are too festering. Moreover, they gathered in wartime and scattered in their spare time, and the officers and troops could not advance but had to rest on the defensive. These pirates are actually no different from the pirates, they have always been known for their cunning, and they are good at avoiding the real and attacking the false, and it is naturally not difficult to achieve a series of victories. When they encounter a battle-hardened elite pawn, it's not unbelievable that they can be crushed in one blow! ”

However, regardless of what Li Xin said, Niu Jinsong still had doubts, and the heart of the town was so determined, it was difficult to guarantee that he did not have the heart of despising the enemy. Since he was careless as the main general, they could not also have the idea of underestimating the enemy, so he didn't say anything, but he still paid attention to the affairs of the Japanese in his heart.

When Niu Jinsong ordered his subordinates, he asked them to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, not to collect the spoils, and only to kill all the live ones before rushing to Xiaoshan immediately.

I don't know how long it took, Tagawa Emon regained his senses, but his body seemed to be weighed by a thousand pounds, and he tried to move his hands and feet, but he felt that he was too pressed to move. The nasal cavity was filled with the mixed smell of gunsmoke and blood, and one mouth poured in one after another, so that his house turned over the river and the sea, so that he couldn't spit it out.

Tagawaemon began to think that he had become an underground ghost, but as he gradually regained consciousness, there were bursts of severe pain from several wounds on his body. Only then did he understand that he was lucky enough to escape from the difficulty, and the left was quiet and scary, obviously the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers had been gone for a long time. When he thought of the scene of the battle with the Ming Dynasty officials and troops just now, he still had palpitations, he had never experienced such a terrible battle, if the Ming army in Zhejiang was this kind of tiger and wolf-like existence, they would probably have died along the coast of Shaoxing Mansion long ago, not to mention being able to conquer Jiangyin and enter Xiaoshan.

After confirming that there were no Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers left around, Tagawa Emon used his strength to lift the corpse of the Japanese who was pressed on his body. On a closer look, the corpses all over the ground are Japanese robbers, and it is roughly estimated that there are more than 1,000 people.

With this judgment, Tagawa Emon was gloomy, knowing that he could not go west to find his accomplices, and his first task now was to find a hidden place to hide before dawn and avoid the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Then wait for the opportunity to go to sea and return to Japan.

Suddenly, Tagawaemon jumped to his feet and groped around his body like crazy, his samurai twin swords were gone, which was what supported his will. Without the katana, his hundred slashes would be meaningless.

"Knives, my knives!"

Tagawaemon went crazy and searched the corpses all over the ground, until it was dawn, and then he suddenly laughed, the intact katana was being crushed under the corpse of a Japanese ko. The katana was lost, and his spirit was restored. It was only at this point that he was able to look up at his surroundings.

Last night's battlefield was only three or four miles from the beach, and in the distance you could see the gray and dark sea, and you could hear the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. The sky is cloudy and seems to be able to drip water, the south of the Yangtze River has been dry for half a year, and it is in late autumn before there is a trend of rain, which is the opposite of the solar terms, and it is really perverse.

Tagawaemon was so open that once the sky was completely bright, anyone from miles away could see him. His clothes and hairstyles are all Japanese, which is very different from the dress of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty. At this moment, he regretted that he shouldn't have been too big and didn't learn from other Japanese people to change clothes. But now, there is no point in thinking about that, and the top priority is to find shelter as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Tagawa Emon's stomach growled, and now he had an urgent task to find some food to fill his stomach as quickly as possible. Less than ten miles to the south, there was a village looming in the distance, and Tagawaemon decided to go there first to see if he could steal some food and local clothing, and if he was lucky, he would find a place to take refuge.

When he dragged his tired and scarred body to the entrance of the village, he saw a local woman hurrying away, and it was too late to hide.

The woman clearly saw the man dressed as a widow, and was terrified, so she subconsciously shouted at the top of her voice: "Help! Help me! There are ...... Woko"

Tagawaemon didn't want to make trouble, plus the other party was a woman, killing her could only be an insult to his status as a samurai. However, this place was already less than a few dozen steps away from the entrance of the village, and if his shout alarmed the locals of the village, in the blink of an eye, the villagers would rush out, and then he was afraid that it would be even more difficult for him to get out.

As soon as he thought of this, Tagawa Emon took a few steps, grabbed the woman by the neck, and dragged her by the collar into the sparse bushes by the roadside. A strange fragrance sucked the nasal cavity, and it turned out to be a weak girl. Tagawaemon suddenly felt a hot current rushing to his head.
