Chapter 665: Fierce Battle against the Would-be Bandits

Chang Wei deliberately used his internal force to send out a shout that resounded in the sky above Heishi Village, which made the soldiers of the Qihai Battalion who were a little flustered feel refreshed: "It's my lord, my lord is back!"

Everyone shouted and gathered towards this side, and gradually gathered together behind Chang Wei. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info steel gun slapped the horse's ass fiercely, and the war horse roared in the crotch and rushed towards the group of ninjas.

Ma Lie didn't know that their opponent was not just a handful of would-be pirates in front of them, if they didn't get rid of these ninjas as soon as possible, they would not only have to bear the flanking attacks of the two pirates in front and back, but also these soldiers of the Nanami Battalion who had not yet fought against the strong combat power, once they found that the number of enemies was still above them, the people who were originally jealous of the Japanese pirates were likely to collapse immediately, so Chang Wei condensed his internal strength and only waited for the steel spear to make a thunderous blow.

The distance of dozens of steps was quickly shortened to more than a dozen steps, and in this short period of time, the enemy's formation had been adjusted, and it seemed that he was well-trained, and the first person saw that Chang Wei had rushed to within ten steps, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen hidden weapons flew out of the enemy formation and hit him.

Chang Wei waved the steel gun to protect his body, but he didn't protect the mount, and the horse's front legs were weak, and he fell to the ground at once. Just when the ninjas thought that the hidden weapon worked, Chang Wei took advantage of the situation to step on the horse's back, and his body flew up like a roc, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed the man's horse's head, kicked the widow out with one kick, and crashed into his companion behind him, he had already fallen on the horse's back, and the spear swept away, and swept the four people with weapons around him who were a little flustered.

Yan Ruyu jumped over the mount struggling on the ground, and slashed off the head of the widow who was blocking the way, the enemy formation had been loosened, and when Chang Wei turned his horse's head and rushed towards the center of the enemy formation, after the spear was like a poisonous snake and picked off two enemies, the remaining ninjas retreated from both sides with a roar, and the enemy formation collapsed.

"Your Excellency!"

Seeing that the Lord was showing great might, the soldiers were surprised and delighted, and they all cheered loudly, although they did not know that this disguised man was Chang Wei.

At this time, the Yanagi Ten Guards also assembled a team of horses and appeared at the south entrance of the village, and the phalanx composed of nearly a hundred war horses was no worse than the formation of the Nanhai Battalion behind Chang Wei. Yanagi Shibei stood in front of the formation on horseback, holding a large banner in his left hand, and the river wind struck, and a powerful killing intent suddenly surged over between the banners.

The soldiers of the Nanami Battalion are okay, they have guns, and although the terrain is not advantageous, they will not be afraid of these Japanese bandits. The White Lotus remnants in the distance were far behind, and there was a lot of commotion in their camp immediately, and many people screamed "ah" in surprise, no need to count the number of people one by one, just looking at the size of the formation, they already knew that the number of the Woko was far from the White Lotus remnant, even if it was a one-to-ten situation, the rabble of the White Lotus Sect was not the opponent of the Wako, and panic and fear suddenly spread in their ranks.

I can't tell if these two groups are enemies or enemies? Do they want to cooperate or kill each other?

"My lord, should we retreat in the direction of the Nanhe River first, and after joining up with the soldiers of Yingtian's avant-garde, we will fight to the death with the Japanese Kou?" Ma Yuan suggested in a low voice before Chang Wei approached.

His right arm was hung by a spear, the blood flowed, and he frowned and sweated when he spoke, obviously in unbearable pain, although there is healing internal strength in the Nine Yin True Scripture, but martial arts have to be practiced step by step, Ma Yuan is not Chang Wei can see it, and he will be proficient in it in a while.

Seeing this, Yan Ruyu rode over, gave him a good knife and medicine, and then helped him bandage the wound extremely skillfully. Ma Yuan hurriedly whispered a word of thanks to the teacher.

"Retreat? A low-hanging victory is at hand, so why retreat?"

In fact, Chang Wei was also hesitant in his heart, these recruits who had not experienced a bloody battle were naturally far inferior in combat compared to the experienced Japanese robbers, and the power of the musket was difficult to exert in the dark night, and it was even extremely difficult to maintain the formation.

Although the masters on his side can completely suppress the other party, once the battle starts, the casualties of the soldiers must be very large, this is a situation that Chang Wei does not want to see, but such an opportunity to destroy the enemy is really not easy to find, and besides, this group of widows must be caught back to see what they have to do with the White Lotus Sect.

Fight or retreat?

These two thoughts swayed in his mind, but Chang Wei's expression was extremely firm, and his body was as straight as an arrogant snow pine, because he knew that even if he fled for his life, he needed morale, and if the eyes of the soldiers gathered on him found that their lord would be shaken in the slightest, I am afraid that his self-confidence would collapse immediately. This is a representative of the experience of a year or two.

The powerful battle intent and confident gaze that deliberately emanated were already extremely contrived in Chang Wei's mind, but they achieved unexpected results, the team gradually calmed down, and confusion appeared on everyone's faces instead of fear.

"Victory?"

"Yes, it's a victory!"

Looking at the changing expressions of these recruits, Chang Wei's mind flashed the figure of them training in the barracks, retreating like this, these recruits are afraid that they no longer have the courage to fight bravely, and the subordinates who are not able to fight tough battles, how valuable is their existence? Even if they are given the most advanced weapons, what is the point of an army that does not have the consciousness of fighting to the death?

Chang Wei knew that all the descendants of his Volunteer Battalion had been transferred out for a while, and the soldiers of the Seven Seas Battalion who stayed behind were waiting in Zhenjiang, these newly recruited recruits were still very young and not well trained, but Chang Wei's men must be an army that can fight to the death!

In an instant, Chang Wei had made up his mind to fight to the death!

The steel spear was raised in the sky, and he said loudly: "It won't be long before the elite soldiers of Yingtian's avant-garde will arrive on the battlefield, before that, let us recruit create a piece of history! Kill me, kill these Japanese bandits! Death to those who retreat!"

As soon as the steel gun slashed into the sky, Chang Wei took the lead in rushing out.

"Rush!"

I don't know if he has a deep hatred with the Japanese Kou, or if the harsh military discipline is too deterrent, the shouts from behind Chang Wei are so majestic that his spirits are lifted. At the same time, Yanagi Shibei waved his sword, and the horse led the team to meet him.

The distance of five hundred steps disappeared in the blink of an eye in the wild rush of the two armies, and Chang Wei and Yanagi Shibei, who were in the lead, quickly felt the killing intent of the opponent's weapons. The steel spear and the broadsword touched each other without any fancy, Chang Wei pretended to be agitated, sad and almost vomited blood, and used all his spare strength to stab the Japanese who came out of Tachibana behind him, and then made out the appearance of half of his strength, so he could only hold the steel gun and dodge left and right behind the horse's neck, and relied on the crossbow arrow knife technique of Tang Jinyi and Yan Ruyu behind him to solve a few enemies. Taking advantage of the time of 'fighting' for a moment, Chang Wei took a few deep breaths before he 'recovered' a little strength.

And Liu Sheng Shibei was even more huge, almost planted off the horse, Yan Ruyu hated him, while guarding Chang Wei, he did not forget to beckon him with a knife, although he avoided the heart of the vital point, but the blade still slashed his right shoulder, the big knife can no longer be held, "dangchang" fell to the ground.

"The Yanagi Ten Guards are defeated! The Yanagi Ten Guards are defeated!"

Chang Wei roared and shouted out Japanese, and the enemy formation suddenly showed signs of panic, looking back, although the recruits were extremely excited by Chang Wei's excellent performances, they were in a hurry and didn't know how to kill the enemy, and shouted: "The Japanese chieftain has been defeated! Everyone shoots a volley!"

Hearing this familiar order, the recruits subconsciously raised their muskets and pulled the trigger, and the results of the brutal training were finally revealed, although many people were a little outrageous because of the adjustment, and the deterrent effect of one hundred and ten muskets was fired at the same time, and its deterrent effect was extremely terrifying, not only forcing all the enemies on one side to retreat, but also more than a dozen Japanese robbers were knocked off their horses on the spot.

Seeing such fruitful results, the recruits suddenly increased their confidence, and under the order of Ma Yuan, who succeeded Chang Wei, the entire formation took turns to attack, and with simple assassination and impact, they achieved unexpected results.

After three impacts, when the recruits drew an arc again and turned around and attacked again, the Japanese had already shrunk rapidly, but instead of fleeing north along the official road, they began to turn, intending to attack the rear guard of the Nanami Battalion, Ma Yuan was also busy shrinking the formation, and when the two armies staggered back to the position before the battle, Chang Wei had lost ten recruits, but more than forty corpses of the Japanese were left in the salt pond.

The one-to-one contest between the recruits and the Japanese had the upper hand, which made the soldiers forget the pain of losing their comrades for a while, and also forgot the fear of the enemy, and they all looked at Chang Wei with awe, not knowing where this face-born commander was, although he was outstanding in martial arts, but the real leader of the army to fight was another matter, after this battle, the soldiers finally established confidence in this strange man, and the victory he spoke of seemed to be imminent.

Chang Wei's attention was all focused on the enemy, and the pirates gathered in one place, forming a circular defensive formation, as if they neither wanted to attack nor flee.

"What kind of mystery is Liu Sheng Shibei doing? Doesn't he know that this place is less than 100 miles away from Yingtian Qianwei and less than 50 miles away from Zhenjiangwei? Isn't he afraid that there will be a large army behind me? Looking at him like a turtle with a shrunken head, he looks like he is waiting for someone, and the Japanese still have a backhand? By the way, this group of bastards is we entering the interior?"

If Chang Wei's judgment is correct, the Wakou and the White Lotus Collection want to make some kind of transaction here, and it is obviously no coincidence that Bai Zitong of the Sword Alliance appeared here, what are they going to do? Why did they choose this time point in the martial arts conference?

"Half of the one hundred and tenth subordinates of the Yanagi Ten Guards are dead, and he still dares to stay here?" Chang Wei's heart jumped suddenly: "Could it be that he still can't respond?"

Thinking of the possible helper of the Japanese Bandits, a trace of uneasiness suddenly came to Chang Wei's heart, the results in front of him did not confuse his eyes, Fang Cai just hit the enemy by surprise, the combat power of the enemy is still far above the recruits of the Seven Seas Battalion, once it is really as imagined that a large number of Japanese Kou will respond, even if it is added to the Ying Tian avant-garde, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist the attack of the Japanese Kou, in addition to the very powerful and bright identity to kill the enemy with all his might.

"My lord, give the order to attack!"

Seeing him standing in front of the battle and thinking silently, Wang Yue, the leader of the recruit team, urged, the victory made him unable to hold his breath, and he looked eager to try, not looking like a person in his thirties, but like a young man who had just experienced the battle.

"No, the whole army is moving towards the north of the village of Heishi Village. Chang Wei said slowly.

After killing forty or fifty widows, the recruits also fought a battle, and confidence had been erected, Chang Wei decided that it was better not to reveal his true identity, and he instinctively thought that there was a great conspiracy behind this matter.

Wang Yue's face was confused, it could be seen that Chang Wei's expression was solemn, and he also knew that he had made up his mind, so he ordered the team to move to the north of the village. Although the recruits were not yet proficient in tactical movements, the harsh military discipline of the Nanami Battalion had comprehended ten out of ten, and they immediately began to transfer obediently.

After Yan Ruyu and Tang Jinyi bandaged the wounds of several wounded, Zongma returned to Chang Wei's side, and saw that his robe was stained with blood, although he knew that he was not injured, he still asked with concern.

"I'm fine. ”

tidied up the armor and robe for her, remembered the brute strength martial arts of Liu Sheng's ten soldiers, and remembered Fu Zhouzi's saying that the most bitter will be in the hundred households, attacking in the front and defending in the back, it is really sincere.

The horse team slowly moved along the official road to the north of the village, but the Japanese were still moving, and outside the black stone cliff, the shadow of the ship was already faintly visible, and Liu Sheng was afraid that Chang Wei would secretly set up an ambush. As soon as I arrived at the north entrance of the village, I heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from the official road in the north.

After a while, a team of hurricanes gradually came into view, although they couldn't see the appearance of the knights clearly, but they were wearing the standard armor of the Ming army, and the recruits were dancing excitedly: "Reinforcements have arrived! Lord Wu has arrived!"

"The little devil who killed his grandmother!"

Only Chang Wei's face changed, and soon Yan Ruyu also discovered something strange. This group of cavalry is undoubtedly the Zhenjiang Wei Wu Yuanbu who came to reinforce it, but they either crooked their helmets or tore their battle jackets, and some people even lost their weapons in their hands, and even the military flag was gone, no matter how they looked at it, they looked like they were fleeing for their lives.

"Not good!"

Chang Wei quickly woke up from his surprise and understood that Wu Yuan must have been ambushed by the Japanese Invaders: "Damn, how could the Japanese Invaders know Wu Yuan's marching route?!"

But there was no time to think about it now, this thought only flashed in his mind, knowing that his troops were stuck in the escape route of Wu Yuan, once the team was disrupted by these deserters, there was only one way to die, so the steel gun was raised high again, and shouted: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, the rear team will become the front team, follow me to kill the thief!"

With that, the horse galloped along the official road to the southwest. The fighting spirit of the recruits has reached its peak at this moment, but when they hear a killing word, their blood is boiling, not to mention that in their hearts, their own side has already occupied an absolute advantage in numbers, and their courage is even stronger. Everyone shouted and followed Chang Weima, and it was like a sharp sword that stabbed straight at the Japanese led by Yanagi.

In fact, Chang Wei just wanted to rush through a way to escape to Tuolin Town, but at this moment, a strange horn suddenly sounded behind him, and the Yanagi Shibei in the south of the village seemed to have received some order, and the horse team immediately launched and slammed towards the northwest, with the intention of being extremely obvious, it was to block the way of Chang Wei's department.

It's just that the sandy salt pond slowed down the speed of the horse team, and Yanagi Shibei didn't have time to stop him, but cut off the recruit team. The unknown recruits saw that the enemy did not flee and fight against the war, and they were even more excited, with a sharp spirit, and the other side of the official road was a forest, and the horses could not enter at all, Yanagi's subordinate Japanese had to adjust the line of attack, and they were rushed out of a big gap by the recruits, only at this time they found that their main general did not turn the horse's head to attack the enemy, but ran all the way along the official road towards Tuolin Town, only to feel that things were not as they imagined, and then followed the defeat and retreat in a daze.

After running for seven or eight miles in one go, the shouts of the would-be robbers could not be heard behind him, and when he looked back, the enemy was no longer pursuing. Gathering the ranks, the recruits found out that the so-called reinforcements were actually a group of remnants of the defeated army, and they all panicked.

"In the process of transferring troops to reinforcements, five miles away from Heishi Village, they were attacked by the Japanese Kou Chongtian and Yebu, Lord Wu was killed, and the deputy general was nowhere to be found. ”

Although such bad news was expected, Chang Wei still felt a trace of sadness in his heart, and the short five-mile road decided the defeat of Wu Yuanbu. Wu Yuan's 200 elite soldiers, including 100 rattan players who can fight habitually, only have more than 30 people left, plus less than 100 recruits, and the losses of the Japanese are said to be less than one-third of their own, so calculated, after Okita and Yanagi joined forces, the strength is at least three times that of the recruit team, except for the very Wei and Tang Jinyi, otherwise there is no strength to entangle Chongtian and Yanagi in Heishi Village, in order to wait for the arrival of Yingtian's avant-garde.

"Yanagi gave up the pursuit, did he want to retreat from Blackstone Village, and I don't know what benefits he has gained?"

Listening to Yan Ruyu's whisper, Chang Wei's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, this place is close to Jinshanwei, and Chongtian and Yanagi don't dare to stay for a long time, but if they retreat from Taihu Lake, the troops on land will inevitably become weaker and weaker, and they may be able to find out something by sneaking up on his guard, but the coast near Heishi Village is covered with reefs, and there is only a narrow waterway suitable for big ships to enter and exit, will Yanagi choose to retreat from here?

But that little hope has made Chang Wei unable to choose anything anymore: "Bet on luck!"

Thinking of this, Chang Wei looked at the soldiers of the guard and said in a deep voice: "We, we haven't failed yet!"
