Chapter 1049
Before Yin Zhutou could speak, Master Feng said on the side: "Everyone knows that if the Japanese robbers succeed, not only will their lives not be saved, but the people in this Xiuwu County will also have to suffer. Our parents, wives and children are all in the city, so we can't let them die tragically at the hands of the Japanese invaders?
Yin Zhutou listened to Master Feng's words and nodded. It's just that there was a deep sadness on his face, and he said to Li Qiufeng: "There are several times more Japanese robbers than us, and look at their appearance, all of them are well-trained, and they all seem to be bastards who have fought in battle. We brothers have never seen such a formation, just relying on a breath, we can barely resist the attack of the Japanese invaders, but we know it. If we continue to fight like this, we won't be able to resist it for too long. If there is no way to annihilate or drive away all the Japanese invaders, I am afraid that we will all die in this temple, and Xiuwu County will still not be able to save ......."
When Yin Zhutou said this, his voice trembled, and he couldn't speak anymore for a while. Master Feng whispered on the side: "Lord Li, I don't know when the Jinyi Guards will be able to come to help?"
Li Qiufeng was a little embarrassed in his heart. Because he didn't expect Zhang Hao to be an undercover agent of the Japanese Kou, he had lost contact with Xu Yingyang. He was in a bitter battle in the City God Temple, but he was afraid that the Jinyi Guard would not know the situation in the city at all, let alone when he would be able to come to help. But if he told the truth, Yin Zhutou, Master Feng, together with the Luoyang Prefect Yamen and Xiuwu County Governor Yamen, would be extremely disappointed. At that time, I am afraid that if I don't wait for the Japanese to attack, these tolerances will be quickly frustrated, and they will immediately scatter, and they will inevitably be slaughtered by the Japanese invaders. At this time, it can only boost morale, and it is absolutely not possible to let everyone be depressed and disappointed. It was Li Qiufeng who thought for a while, and then said: "When Jinyiwei will come to help, Li doesn't know right now." However, they must be lying in ambush on the left, just waiting for the Japanese to show their flaws, and then they will rush to our aid. ”
Yin Zhutou and Master Feng were relieved when they heard Li Qiufeng say decisively. By this time the sky had darkened, and the wind swept the goose feathers and heavy snow, and smashed the sky into the faces of everyone. When the fight was raging, everyone was sweating profusely. At this time, he stopped fighting, his sweat condensed, and he was blown by the cold wind, which made everyone shiver. Many people rubbed their hands and stomped their feet, and some cursed quietly.
Fang Cai and the Japanese retreated one after another, and Yanagi Zongyan was annoyed, but he was an ally with the Shidao Lord, and this time he had to rely on the Fusang warriors under the Shidao Lord to seize Fengmen Village, so naturally he couldn't shout and drink like he did with the Guangzhi monk. It was he who walked up to the Lord of Shidao and said, "Lord Island, we are about to win, but we can't give these Han people a chance to breathe." With a little more strength, we will definitely be able to kill all these Han people. After these people died, not only did the gold and silver treasures in the closed village go to the island owner, but this county town was also in the hands of the island owner. The gold and silver in the city, as well as the women, naturally belonged to the lord of the island. ”
Lord Ishishima was relieved to see that his subordinates had retreated and had not come into contact with the enemy for the time being. It's just that when he saw seventy or eighty corpses of his subordinates lying on the ground, his heart hurt again. In the past, when he was in Fujian, he often led his subordinates to fight fiercely with officers and soldiers, like a tiger entering a flock, and he had never suffered such a big loss. I thought that in addition to my own group of people on the southeast coast, there were also five Fuso pirate teams. The leaders of these pirates are all extremely difficult to mess with, and they always have the intention of swallowing up other bandits. This alliance with Yagyu Soiwa was to use this matter to obtain a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and then he could spend money to build a big ship and buy a giant cannon to fight against other pirates. In his heart, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were all wine bags and rice bags, but other pirates who were also Fusang people were the enemies he was most worried about. It's just that the matter is far from being successful, and nearly 100 of his subordinates have died in battle, how can he not be frightened?
When Yanagi Zongyan spoke to him, although his tone was very polite, he still let him order an attack on the main hall. The Lord of Shidao was unhappy, secretly thinking of your rhetoric, and wanted me to work for you. But it is my subordinates who are desperately fighting with these Han people, and your own people are left behind. Hmph, you want to borrow my knife to kill people, but you don't give me benefits, you really think I'm a fool?!
Thinking of this, the Shidao Lord deliberately pretended to be distressed, and said to Yanagi Zongyan: "Your Excellency Yanagi, it's not that my subordinates don't do their best, it's really that the other party is not easy to deal with. As you can see, almost a hundred of my men have died, and they haven't taken advantage of anything. I had to take advantage of the enemy's retreat to regroup and wait for another battle. Otherwise, we will be mixed with the enemy, and although we are outnumbered, we will not be able to gain the upper hand. Now that we are in position, we will not be as embarrassed as we are when we fight the enemy. ”
Yanagi Zongyan said: "The island master's army is well-trained, and I admire it very much. However, when I looked at the formation of these samurai under my lordship, it was clear that they were only defending and not attacking. If the enemy doesn't attack the courtyard, we can only wait here?"
Lord Shidao said: "Your Excellency Yanagi, although the enemy is like scattered sand, they are very powerful when they fight alone. My subordinates formed an army formation, which was also a method of desperation. Your Excellency Yanagi don't have to worry, I don't think the enemy will be patient for long, and he will attack again. As long as they clash with our military formation, no matter how high their martial arts are, they will definitely be killed by us. It's better for us to wait for work than to fight with them. ”
Yanagi Zongyan shook his head and said, "Lord Island, they are deliberately trying to delay time with us. Right now, in this temple, we really have the upper hand. But don't forget that this is not Fujian, but the hinterland of the Central Plains. Although this small city is inconspicuous, it is not far from Luoyang and Kaifeng. And there were officers and soldiers stationed outside the city. If we delay and be detected by the officers and soldiers, the cavalry from Luoyang and Kaifeng will arrive here within a day. And the garrison outside the city can kill us in an instant. At that time, not only will we have lost all our efforts, but we are afraid that it will be extremely difficult to return to the southeast coast. Please also ask the island owner not to hesitate to give the order to attack the enemy immediately. ”
The lord of Ishishima shook his head like a rattle, and let Yanagi Soiwa urge him, he only said that he wanted his subordinates to form a formation to induce the enemy to attack, and he must not rush forward lightly, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy. Speaking of which, the Shidao Lord simply said to Yanagi Zongyan: "Your Excellency Yanagi, if you want to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop, you might as well order your men and those monks to attack, and I will bring someone to stabilize the position for Your Excellency Yanagi. When Your Excellency Liu Sheng is done, and we take the Fengmen Village, I can give you some more gold and silver. ”
Yanagi Zongyan was annoyed, looked at the round face of the stone island master, and secretly scolded him for being stupider than a pig. It's just that he also knows that if he wants to do this, he must not offend the Lord of Shidao. Otherwise, with only the thirty or forty killers of the Yanagi clan brought by himself, as well as a dozen apprentices of Monk Guangzhi, it would be tantamount to a pipe dream to annihilate the enemy in one blow. I'm afraid that at that time, Li Qiufeng and others will rush up, and these people will become the ghosts of the enemy. It was he who forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest and said to the stone island lord: "In this case, the island lord can let his subordinates rest for a while. However, if the enemy does not attack, we must take the initiative to attack, and we must not delay for too long. ”
The stone island lord was annoyed by Yanagi Zongyan's urging, and before Yanagi Zongyan finished speaking, he nodded carelessly. He then called over his two minor leaders and asked them to make a fire to keep their subordinates warm. Yanagi Zongyan was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord Island, this matter must not be allowed! These enemies have already agreed with their reinforcements to raise fire as a signal to attack us on both sides. If a fire is lit in the temple, the enemy reinforcements outside the temple will immediately come to the aid in large numbers. At that time, we will be attacked by the enemy, not only will the original advantage come to naught, but we will be surrounded by the enemy in the city god temple, becoming a turtle in an urn, to be slaughtered. If we hadn't cared about this, we would have burned the hall with rockets a long time ago, so why wait until this time to fight with them?!"
The lord of Shidao looked indifferent, and said, "We tossed around in the temple for an afternoon, and we didn't see any reinforcements. Nine times out of ten, the enemy is suspicious and deceives us. If I don't make a fire to keep warm, my subordinates will freeze and have a fart fight?!"
