Xia Xun grabbed Ming'er's little hand and ran as fast as he could. Unfortunately, the sand on the beach was soft, and the few Japanese people behind him were barefoot. Because of their short bodies, they ran around like frogs, but their speed was extremely fast.
People can't run fast if they wear boots, especially little girl Ming'er, who is not good at running after all.
A Japanese man excitedly caught up with him, holding a long sword in his hand. He was babbling and shouting something, which probably translated into Chinese was something like "Flower girl, you are so big and beautiful."
Xia Xun saw that the Japanese was pursuing him more and more urgently. He suddenly pushed Ming'er's back and sent her three feet away. She leaned down and turned around, sending sand and dirt flying out of her hands.
The Japanese who were staring at Ming'er with salivation saw that Xia Xun was dressed in ordinary common people's clothes and didn't take him seriously at all. These common people could only run for their lives when they saw them, and they had never seen many who dared to resist in anger.
, so he focused all his attention on the flower girl. As a result, a cloud of sand was thrown in his face, his eyes were blurred, and a handful of sand was poured into his mouth.
The Japanese man was so angry that he screamed, and a Japanese sword in his hand danced like a windmill. Before he could blink his eyes and regain his sight, he was severely stamped on his lower back. Although his chassis was very stable, the strength of this kick was
He was stomped down. As soon as he hit the sand, before he could get up, he was kicked again on the neck. This stomp was so hard that his neck was broken with a "click".
, the whole person sank into the sand.
Xia Xun picked up the Japanese sword and picked it up in his hand. The quality was really good. It seemed that this Japanese man had at least some status in the Japanese country. With the sword in his hand, he became bolder. He stood up and walked towards the beach.
Look up.
He didn't expect that he was so unlucky. He finally reached the beach and secretly wanted to find a boatman to take him out to sea. However, after wandering around, he found that there were a large number of boats on the beach but no one there. Xia Xun was surprised.
, suddenly I saw a group of officers and soldiers running quickly. The soldiers were surrounding a general. The general was riding a horse and holding a big sword in his hand, full of murderous intent.
Xia Xun was shocked when he saw this, thinking that his whereabouts had been leaked, he quickly took Ming'er and hid in a patch of weeds. The terrain of this place was a concave bay, with many ships moored in the bay, because the shore extended to a
There are hills, small trees, weeds, and swamps everywhere, making it easy to hide. This is why Xia Xun was alert and deliberately chose such a beach to look for ships going out to sea. Once discovered by the gangsters, it would be easy to escape.
Xia Xun and Ming'er hid in the grass. When they saw the group of officers and soldiers arriving at the beach, they set fire to the ship without saying a word. They couldn't help being surprised: "Aren't the officers and soldiers here for me?"
The officers and soldiers scattered around and set fire to ships, large and small. While they were busy, a group of pirates rushed over from the shore shouting. When the officers and soldiers saw this, they gave up burning the ships and went ashore to fight with them. Xia Xun discovered that these
The pirates' clothing, hairstyle, and height looked very much like Japanese people. Listening to the language they yelled, it turned out to be correct, and I couldn't help but be even more shocked.
The Japanese pirates should have come from the sea. Why did the officers and soldiers rush to the beach first to burn the boats, and then the Japanese pirates appeared from behind them, also coming from the land direction. What happened? Then, the Japanese pirates who were chasing me discovered the hidden treasure.
Xia Xun and Ming'er, who were in the grass, saw the cute little girl. The Japanese pirates who noticed them were very moved and chased after them. Xia Xun had already killed a person and didn't know what was going on here.
What happened.
The other Japanese pirates who were chasing after them became furious when they saw that the Han people had killed one of their own. They gave up on the flower girl for the time being and surrounded Xia Xun. Since Xia Xun had taken action, he had no intention of doing so. Then he walked away, swung the long knife in his hand, the weight was still suitable for his hand, shouted loudly, and struck the nearest Japanese pirate with a move of "Strength Splitting Huashan".
The Japanese pirate was startled. He didn't expect that this man's waist, arms, and sword were so coordinated. This sword was so powerful that it was even more powerful than the top swordsmen there. He hurriedly used his sword to meet Xia Xun. The body turned with the knife, and with a flash of light, the knife changed from chopping to sweeping. With a "pop", the "frog" in front of him was cut in half at the waist. The intestines and internal organs were scattered all over the floor, and blood spattered. It was terrible to see.
Ming'er exclaimed when she saw it, her pretty face turned pale, and she almost vomited.
A Japanese pirate was startled, but he did not rush up to take action immediately. Instead, he said something to him in Japanese. Xia Xun said in a daze, "What did you say?"
Only then did he notice that the Japanese pirate in front of him was not dressed like an ordinary Japanese, and he also rarely wore shoes. Xia Xun had dealt with Japanese envoys and looked at his hairstyle, appearance, and especially his jet-black teeth. He seemed to be a nobleman, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
He glanced at the few Japanese pirates around him again, because as soon as this man asked, they immediately stopped attacking. Although they were all inexplicably angry because of the death of their companions, their attitude was extremely respectful, and there was some discipline in their behavior. Yi Dong: "Are they really just ordinary Japanese pirates? Or...Yi Jun is a bandit?"
Xia Xun did not forget that the Japanese envoys were teased and humiliated by the pirates of Shuangyu Island on their way back. They were finally stripped naked and their ship was robbed of everything before they were driven away.
The Japanese pirate was also a little strange and said in Chinese: "Are you from the Ming Dynasty? Japanese?"
"Of course I am from the Ming Dynasty!"
Only then did Xia Xun understand what he was asking. He laughed loudly and raised the long knife in his hand again.
Xia Xun's sword skills were learned from Hu Jiuliu. Hu Jiuliu's sword skills were ancient sword skills with great practical power. Xia Xun had also seen Feng Xihui's two-handed sword skills. Japanese sword skills drew heavily on ancient Chinese sword skills. Swordsmanship is actually a manifestation of two-handed swordsmanship. The sword Xia Xun uses now is a Japanese sword. It naturally combines the swordsmanship characteristics of Feng Xihui and Hu Jiuliu. The method of using both hands to use the sword and luck to exert force is closely related to the Japanese swordsmanship. The sword techniques are very similar.
The sword he used was the ancestor of Japanese swordsmanship, but the Japanese regarded him as a Japanese. In his opinion, there should be no one in the Central Plains who could use their Japanese swords so skillfully. Seeing that Xia Xun claimed to be from the Ming Dynasty , that Japanese pirate was furious and immediately raised his sword to greet him. Several other Japanese pirates did not neglect him either. The death of their companions did not frighten them, but aroused their hostility.
Xia Xun held knives in both hands and started fighting with several Japanese pirates in a daze...
Xia Xun spent a lot of effort to get rid of these Japanese pirates. After the Japanese pirate who was suspected of being a Japanese noble was killed by him, several Japanese pirates around him howled like their dead fathers. A man rushed towards him desperately, with the attitude of exchanging his life for his life. Xia Xun was even more convinced that the identity of this Japanese pirate was not simple, especially after taking away his sword, this man's sword was even worse than the one just now. Well, two Japanese pirates were cut in two by him with his sword, so how could such a good swordsman be a poor pirate?
Xia Xun secretly had doubts in his heart. If given the chance, he would find out about this matter.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The number of soldiers of the Ming army on the beach was much smaller than that of these Japanese pirates. Since they burned their ships separately, they had been scattered and could not use their expertise in collective combat. Moreover, their individual martial arts skills were inferior to those of these Japanese pirates, so that just now
As soon as they engaged in battle, they retreated steadily. However, Xia Xun noticed that the general on horseback was wielding a long sword in his hand, but he was unstoppable. After he solved several Japanese pirates who besieged him, wherever the general on horseback passed,
Dozens of Japanese pirates have been killed.
"What a strong general!"
Xia Xun knew that although this man had the advantage of horse power and long sword, he was able to kill many enemies so quickly along the way. His martial arts skills were probably not much worse than his own. At this moment, he saw that
On horseback, the general swayed and hurriedly lifted the reins, but the horse did not jump out. It turned out that the beach was soft and there was mud, and while the horse was jumping, its hoof got stuck in a mud pit and could not be pulled out.
"not good!"
When Xia Xun saw several Japanese pirates taking the opportunity to surround the Ming general, his expression changed. The horse general was wearing armor and had a long sword for horse warfare. Once fighting on foot, he would probably be no match for these nimble and nimble rats.
Japanese people generally scurrying around.
Xia Xun hurriedly glanced around and saw that the Japanese pirates and the Ming army soldiers were fighting against each other. Before he paid attention to them, he said to Ming'er urgently: "Quickly, get under the boat and hide. Don't move around randomly!" After that!
He picked up his feet and ran towards the general whose horse was stuck in the mud.
On the beach, a small boat to be repaired was dragged ashore. It was in the grass. Ming'er listened to his instructions and hurriedly hid on the side of the boat to take cover. At the same time, she quietly poked her head out and watched where Xia Xun was going.
.
Xia Xun was a step too late. Those Japanese pirates reacted very quickly. When they saw the Ming general who had killed many of them, they immediately swarmed in and attacked like flies that had seen blood.
Ling, you strike with a sword, I strike with a sword, and we fight like a revolving lantern. By the time Xia Xun arrives, the general's robes are stained with blood.
"kill!"
Xia Xun shouted sharply. A Japanese pirate had just stabbed the Ming general in the stomach with a knife. Before he could draw the knife, Xia Xun carried it over his shoulder and cut it into two halves. This knife in Xia Xun's hand was really a good one.
Xia Xun estimated that the knife was sharp enough to be at least a three-body knife, the kind of sharp knife that could cut off three people's bodies with one blow.
Xia Xun slashed his knife, and the tip of the knife touched the sand. The sand splashed with blood and flew towards a Japanese pirate opposite. When his eyes narrowed, he plunged the knife into the man's stomach until it reached the hilt.
He forced the man to retreat seven or eight steps in a row, took the opportunity to dodge the long swords of several other Japanese pirates, then drew his sword and turned back to fight again.
Ming'er hid behind the boat, covering her mouth with her small hands, looking at Xia Xun in surprise. As Xia Xun fled all the way, this was not the first time she saw Xia Xun take action, but she had never seen Xia Xun kill someone before.
, killing so fast, so accurately, so cruelly!
Seeing his amazing swordsmanship, several Japanese pirates immediately formed a semicircle with a tacit understanding and forced him down.
Xia Xun leaned against the sea, with the sun above his head and the roaring waves at his feet. He held a knife in both hands and stared murderously at the several Japanese pirates in front of him. He was as majestic as a god. His aura did not look like he was surrounded by people, but more like him.
It was like one person surrounded several Japanese pirates.
"So majestic! So airy!"
Ming'er looked at him with a pair of bright eyes, her eyes were suddenly fascinated, her heart was full of love, her pink fists were clenched, and she was so excited that she just wanted to cheer loudly: "Uncle... No! Brother is so majestic! This is a real man,
You are worthy of being my husband, Xu Miaojin! Ming'er is going to bet on you! Do you know, brother Yang Xu?"
The general pulled out the knife that was stuck on his body. He held his own long knife in one hand and covered his lower abdomen with the other. He wanted to stand up from the ground, but he struggled for several times and couldn't get up. He couldn't help this sudden martyr.
I could only stare at him anxiously and nervously.
Xia Xun was confronting several Japanese pirates in front of him. Suddenly he saw dust flying in the distance and another group of people running towards him. Looking at the fluttering flag, it was clearly the Ming army. He felt relieved and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I mean, those Japanese pirates seemed to have heard the sound behind them, and they began to feel a little uneasy, and their eyes were a little wandering. That was it at this time!
The knife in Xia Xun's hand tilted slightly, and a sharp cold light swept across the eyes of the Japanese pirates in front of him. At the same time, Xia Xun pounced on him like a tiger descending from a mountain, and the knife in his hand splashed out a fan-shaped halo of light, blood
Light splashes everywhere...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"My lord! My lord!"
After the Ming army reinforcements arrived, the Japanese pirates saw the Ming army's reinforcements in large numbers and began to seize the ships that had not yet burned down to prepare to go to sea.
"Good martial arts, really good martial arts!"
The Ming general was dying. He looked at Xia Xun with a smile and asked, "You... aren't from a military household, are you? What a pity. It would be great if you were a lieutenant general in our army!"
It turns out that this Ming general is a member of the Qiancang Guards Station in Xiangshan County, named Yi Shaozong. Starting last month, a large number of Japanese pirates suddenly invaded the coast. At first, they were restrained by Chinese pirates from Shuangyu Island.
The harassment caused by the people along the coast was not serious yet, but then their power suddenly increased. The bandits in the Shuangyu Islands group were weak and began to retreat their defense lines. They swooped ashore like blood-sucking mosquitoes and flies.
In previous years, there were also Japanese pirates attacking at this time, but this year there seemed to be more of them. Today, a group of Japanese pirates landed here and rushed towards Xiangshan County. After Yi Shaozong heard the news, he immediately ordered his troops and horses to attack.
Seven hundred people accompanied Qianhu Xukaiyang to rescue the county town, while he led three hundred people to search the Japanese pirates' retreat, hoping to burn all the Japanese pirates' ships and completely eliminate their group to avoid future troubles.
Unexpectedly, these Japanese pirates had scum from the Ming Dynasty acting as spies on the coastal beaches. Before they could reach Yishan County, they hurried back after hearing the news. After a bloody battle, Yi Shaozong stumbled and was besieged.
He had been stabbed several times, and Xia Xun couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw that his face was pale and his injuries were so serious that he almost couldn't survive.
Yi Shaozong asked Xia Xun to help him sit up. Seeing many Japanese pirates who had grabbed boats and set out to sea, he couldn't help but regretfully said: "The coast is so long that we can't station troops everywhere. No matter how strict the precautions are, we can't stop Japanese harassment..."
It is a pity that the ships of our Coastal Guard Station can only sail in the inner lake and cannot withstand the wind and waves of the distant sea. Otherwise, we could go to sea to suppress the bandits and destroy their foundations. How can we allow them to come and leave whenever they want."
Xia Xun blurted out: "General, we will have our own ocean fleet sooner or later tomorrow. Our fleet will be an invincible fleet and will be as huge as a moving castle. Everyone will surrender wherever they go! Anyone who is disrespectful will be captured. His king! What a mere Japanese pirate!"
"I hope... I hope one day..."
Yi Shaozong smiled and exhaled, tilted his head, and fell into Xia Xun's arms. His eyes were still looking at the place where the Japanese disappeared in the distance, with unwillingness, hatred and regret in his eyes, but the look in his eyes was no longer A trace of dissipation...
The soldiers cleaned the battlefield, and Deputy Qianhu Xu Kaiyang and Xia Xun carried Yi Shaozong to the hillside and put him down silently.
Xia Xun couldn't help but ask: "General, since you know that the Japanese pirates have been attacking frequently and in large numbers recently, why don't you ask for more reinforcements? With only the troops of Xiangshan Guards, you will inevitably worry about one thing and not the other."
Xu Kaiyang sighed: "The reinforcements are not local residents. How long can they stay here? What's more, I can't recruit any soldiers recently."
"how?"
Xu Kaiyang smiled bitterly and said: "You little couple came here from Hezhou to visit relatives. You must not have known along the way that King Yan's army has arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and all the imperial navy has been transferred to fight against the enemy."
Xia Xun was startled and lost his voice: "What? King Yan has arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River?"
Deputy Xu Qianhu said: "Yes, the King of Yan is about to cross the river. The officials from all over the country are drafting soldiers to go to Jinling to serve the king. You said that you can't find any relatives who want to defect to Jinling. I guess they will also be drafted to Jinling." Come on, the war is going on now. Don't wander around. Just stay in Xiangshan County for a while and wait until the overall situation is stable. If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
"Thank you, sir!"
Xia Xun and Ming'er looked at each other, unable to conceal their surprise: "King Yan has arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Ji Gang must have delivered the news."
When he thought of this, the idea of going to sea had long been forgotten by him. He wished he could spread his wings and fly to the Yangtze River battlefield where the two armies faced each other.
Looking at the messy battlefield and the dead bodies on the ground, Xia Xun tightened his grip on the three-trunk knife in his hand. He had found the scabbard, and he wanted to regard the knife as his trophy. On the handle of the knife There is a family emblem, which is a circle with a flower petal in the middle.
He did not believe that the sudden increase in Japanese pirates this year was an accident. These people must have a close relationship with Shimazu Mitsuo and others who were stripped naked and returned home.
King Yan is about to cross the river, the world is about to change hands, a new era is about to come, and he, he will also have the opportunity to command Qiu and create a lifelong career.
He hoped that one day, he could hold this sharp sword and drive the Ming Dynasty's giant ocean-going ship to Japan in person, bring back the head of the culprit who instigated the Japanese pirates to invade our waters, and comfort General Yi to the people who were suffering in Tianzhiling and along the coast.
He believes that there will be such a day!

It's Monday, please vote for everyone's recommendations and support me.
In addition, I was just typing words when a book friend mentioned it to me, which is really depressing! Who among the top few on the old book list has more updates than me?
Others may say 3,000 words a day, or 6,000 words a day, but I average 9,000 words a day. Isn’t that good? I had to change it to 6,000 words a day, for more than half a month, and in the last three days, I “exploded” to 12,000 words a day. "After a while, everyone is happy?"
It’s hard to think more. I resigned because my body can no longer support fighting on both sides. When coding, especially history books, I need to look up a lot of information and think over and over again about the rationality of the plot. No matter how much I code,
My body can't stand it, but my brain can't. It's very, very tiring.
If the result of my resignation is that the labor intensity is more intense than when I went to work, what am I trying to do? I can face anyone with the amount of updates I am doing now, right?
I have resigned. A man in his forties had to make a choice for his ideals and because of his illness. Now, apart from my wife and children, I only have you. Please support me and please cherish me. I want to always
