Chapter 423. Complete annihilation of Japanese troops
The senior warrior held up the Japanese sword and rushed to Wu Xing with a strange cry. With a loud shout, the Japanese sword slashed from top to bottom. The speed was extremely fast and the momentum was fierce. This Japanese warrior's martial arts skills were extraordinary. Wu Xing turned sideways.
Avoiding it, the Japanese sword struck in front of him. Wu Xing stretched out his left arm and grabbed the Japanese warrior's wrists. The Japanese warrior felt as if his wrists were clamped by iron pliers. For a moment,
He couldn't break free for a while. At this moment, he suddenly saw a flash of cold light and saw the opponent's long sword slashing at him. The Japanese warrior was so frightened that he tried to block with his sword, but his wrists were caught by the opponent and he couldn't.
Not coming back. Sooner than later, cold light passed by, blood surged wildly, and a big head flew into the sky.
Wu Xing threw the headless corpse of the warrior to the ground and looked towards the battlefield. The Japanese offensive had been defeated and they were retreating. Yanyun's secret guard held a repeating crossbow and quickly narrowed the encirclement and fired at the same time. The sharp sound of the crossbow arrows could be heard in his ears.
With the sound of whistling and the screams of the Japanese, I saw that the Japanese were knocked to the ground one by one by powerful arrows, and the standing people were falling down at a speed visible to the naked eye; the Japanese were extremely frightened, they had never faced such a sharp and cruel attack.
I have never seen such a fighting method in my dreams. Occasionally, Japanese people would rush towards Yinsha like crazy, but after taking only a few steps, they would be shot to the ground by powerful arrows whizzing towards them.
In the blink of an eye, only a dozen of the hundreds of Japanese were left. They were surrounded by more than a hundred hidden killers in the middle of the grain drying field. Everyone looked frightened and at a loss, while the hidden killers around them were holding crossbows at each other.
Look at them, their eyes are cold.
Wu Xing shouted: "Kill them alive, kill them!" After hearing the order, Zhong Yinsha immediately pulled the trigger. In a burst of whooshing sound, more than a dozen Japanese were knocked to the ground by the rain of arrows. Among the corpses, several people died.
The big Japanese were squirming, and several secret guards stepped forward, drew out their swords and gave each of them a blow, but those Japanese stopped making any movement.
Seeing that the Japanese were completely wiped out, Wu Xing immediately led his troops to evacuate the village, caught up with Zhang Daniu and others, and retreated to Mount Kumgang in the east. Along the way, he met many fleeing Goryeo people. The Goryeo people heard that these Han people had killed
The Japanese rescued many Korean women and subconsciously regarded them as their support and joined their team. By the next morning, Wu Xing and his team numbered several thousand people. They continued to move towards Mount Kumgang.
, however, the secret guards who were sentrying in front suddenly reported that a group of thousands of Japanese troops had appeared in the county town ahead and were killing and looting.
When the people of Goryeo heard the news, they immediately panicked and looked at Wu Xing, hoping that he could lead them to escape the danger. Wu Xing ordered his men to take out the map, unfold it and check it carefully, and found that the county in front was heading to King Kong.
The only way to go to Mount Kumgang is to go to the county town of Koryo. In other words, to go to Mount Kumgang, you must defeat the Japanese army who are massacring that county town. However, the Japanese have found thousands of troops so far. Perhaps
There are many more that have not been discovered. Just for the thousands of Japanese who have been discovered, it is impossible to defeat them with about two hundred secret guards.
Zhen Rigan frowned and said: "The Japanese are blocking the only way, so we can't go to Mount Kumgang! I didn't expect that there would be Japanese in front of us?"
Wu Xing looked at the map and frowned and said: "When the Japanese marched, they should not have put all their forces in the direction of Kaijing, but divided a part of the army to attack the cities around Kaijing, firstly to plunder money and grain to replenish military supplies, and secondly to clear out We must rely on the people around Kaijing in order to attack Kaijing." Zhang Daniu said: "I'm afraid the Japanese themselves didn't expect that Kaijing could be taken down so easily."
Wu Xing raised his head and looked ahead, then looked at the Korean people around him who were looking eagerly at him, and said to Zhang Daniu and Zhen Rigan: "The road ahead is impassable, so we have to change the direction." Then he pointed to the north of Kaijing. Jinchuan County, said: "Let's go north, then turn west, and go to Haizhou via Jinchuan. The Japanese's main attention is now on the Emperor of Goryeo, and they should not pay attention to the remote cities in Haizhou for the time being. .We retreat to Haizhou, then find a way to contact King Yan, and then make plans."
Zhang Daniu pointed at Jinchuan and frowned: "After the Japanese attack Kaijing, if they continue to advance north, they will definitely pass through Jinchuan. If we pass through Jinchuan, we will definitely encounter the Japanese!"
Wu Xingdao: "First go to Jinchuan to hide, and then investigate the situation of the Japanese in the Jinchuan area. The Japanese must have crossed Jinchuan to pursue the Emperor of Goryeo. There must not be many troops left in the Jinchuan area. We can completely avoid the Japanese and pass through the Jinchuan area." ." Zhang Daniu and Zhen Rigan nodded.
Wu Xing glanced at the Goryeo people around him and raised his voice in Goryeo: "The city in front has been captured by the Japanese. We plan to go north. Those who are willing to follow us come with us." After speaking, he led his men back. Heading north. Most of the Goryeo people chose to follow Wu Xing and the others, but a small number of people did not follow. Instead, they scattered and hid in the nearby mountains.
Wu Xing and his party went all the way north, constantly gathering Korean refugees along the way. When they arrived in the mountains and forests east of Jinchuan, the number of people in the team exceeded 10,000. However, the crowd was chaotic and difficult to control. As a result, they were scouted by Japanese soldiers from Jinchuan. After discovering it, nearly ten thousand Japanese troops rushed toward the mountain forest where Wu Xing and the others were hiding. The situation was very critical. Once the Japanese army arrived, Wu Xing and the others could certainly break out of the siege, but the more than ten thousand Japanese troops who followed them to escape were The people of Goryeo are afraid that they will be doomed!
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the Japanese at the foot of the mountain were getting closer and closer, Wu Xing was so anxious that he quickly ordered his dozens of secret guards to collect a lot of cloth from the people of Goryeo, and then asked his secret guards to cut these cloths into rectangular shapes, and They were tied to bamboo poles, and dozens of secret guards were asked to take the cloths to various places in the mountains and forests, lift them up and shake them vigorously.
Nearly ten thousand Japanese troops were running towards the mountains and forests. Suddenly they saw countless flags erected in the mountains and forests, and they couldn't help being surprised. The sun had already set and the sky was very dark. The Japanese soldiers saw rectangular cloths in the mountains and forests from a distance. The flying flags were not clear at all, so they took it for granted that they were the flags of the Koryo Army. The Japanese soldiers couldn't help but stop and looked into the mountains and forests. Seeing so many flags, they felt that there were not tens of thousands of Koryo troops in the mountains and forests! Although the Japanese looked down upon the Goryeo army, the enemy had superior strength and a favorable terrain. The Japanese soldiers felt that it would be thankless to rush in so recklessly.
Just when the Japanese soldiers were in shock and confusion, bursts of shouting suddenly came from the mountain, and the sound was very powerful. The Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain were even more surprised. Suddenly, a Japanese army officer pointed in the distance and shouted: "Then
What is it?"
The Japanese generals immediately looked in the direction of his finger and saw many dots of torches approaching Jinchuan City quickly. Seeing this, the Japanese generals were frightened and shouted: "No, they are going to raid the city! Hurry!
, follow me to return for reinforcements!" After saying that, he turned his horse's head and led his soldiers back at a gallop.
The Japanese soldiers hurried back to the city, but found that the torch outside the city was fixed about two miles away, and they did not continue to approach the city, let alone launch an attack. The Japanese soldiers thought they had rushed back in time.
As a result, the enemy had no chance to take advantage of it, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Time continued to pass, and the enemies outside the city never launched an attack. The lieutenant next to the Japanese general said to the Japanese general: "Your Excellency, there don't seem to be many enemies outside the city. Why don't we attack?" He saw only a hundred lights outside the city.
There are many torches, so there is such a saying.
However, the Japanese general rejected his proposal and sneered: "The Koreans are playing a trick! They deliberately lit only a few torches to make us think they don't have many people and lure us out of the city, and then the ambush troops will come out to attack us!"
Naturally, our Yamato nation is not afraid of such tricks, but there is no need to jump into the trap knowing it is a trap and pay unnecessary losses!" He turned to look at the deputy general and said seriously: "Each team is not allowed to go into battle without my order, otherwise
Military justice!" "Hi!" the deputy general bowed and responded.
The dark night gradually passed, the sun rose from the east, the light dispelled the darkness, and the earth quickly became bright. At this time, the Japanese soldiers on the wall finally saw clearly that there were no enemy troops outside the city. There were only more than a hundred stuck on the ground.
The torch was still burning there.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese generals looked at each other in shock, and the Japanese general was even more furious: "Baga! Damn Koreans!" This Japanese general, named Cangjing Mutuo, was the second-largest in the Japanese army.
One of the generals who conquered the barbarians, Sasuro Shigeo, was also one of the so-called eight swordsmen in the Japanese army. He had always been proud and arrogant, but now he was deceived by his opponent's little tricks for one night. How could he not be angry?
Fill in the blanks.
Cangjing Mutuo turned to his deputy Nishino and shouted: "Send scouts to detect the enemy's movements. They must not have gone far!" Nishino responded and hurried down. Then he saw the four gates of Jinchuan City opened and dozens of Japanese scouts.
He galloped away from the four gates. Cangjing Mutuo was filled with rage and just wanted to cut into pieces the corpses of the Korean soldiers who had tricked him.
Two hours later, a scout came flying from the west and reported to Cangjing Mutuo: "Sir, I found traces of enemy troops eighty miles away to the west. There are more than 10,000 people, and most of them are Korean people!
"
There was a ferocious look in Cangjing Mutuo's eyes, and he said excitedly: "Baga, let's see where you are running!" Then he shouted to his deputy, Nishino Chong, "Gather the army and follow me to fight!" "Hi!" A moment later, a
Twelve thousand Japanese troops, led by Cangjing Mutuo, left the west city gate and chased towards the west. Cangjing Mutuo had already figured out how to deal with them. He wanted to disembowel all those who dared to tease him, and then
Their hearts were boiled and distributed to the entire army.
The army chased them all the way. Although they were all infantry, they were much faster than the fleeing Goryeo people. The Goryeo people had many old, weak, sick, and disabled people with their families, so the speed was really not fast. Hidden, who was in charge of the sentinel at the rear.
Sha constantly reported the situation of the Japanese to Wu Xing and the others. The Wu Xing and the others were anxious, but they couldn't think of anything they could do in front of these Korean people who were dragging their families and panting.
Before evening, Wu Xing and his party came to the wilderness only thirty miles away from Haizhou. It was a large grassy plain, with a mountain range stretching from east to west on the northern horizon, and a large dense forest in the south.
There is a grassy hill in the distance to the west. Once you climb the hill, you can see Haizhou City on the seaside.
Everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace, and many people had excited smiles on their faces. They felt that they could escape the danger as long as they reached Haizhou. However, at this moment, the sound of rumbling footsteps suddenly came from behind. People's hearts were in their hearts.
Startled, they all turned around and saw the terrifying Japanese people coming up like a tide. People were scared out of their wits, crying and shouting and running away desperately. Many people fell to the ground, got up and continued running. It was as if the Koreans had seen it.
A pack of wolves is like a flock of sheep.
However, the Koreans failed to escape after all. Twelve thousand Japanese troops caught up and surrounded the Koreans. Their swords were unsheathed and spears were like a forest, reflecting patches of cold light. The Koreans were extremely frightened and clung to each other.
They hugged each other, crying, and everyone's face was full of despair.
Zhen Riqian looked at the scene in front of him and frowned: "I have no choice, I can't take care of these Koreans!" Zhang Daniu said angrily: "Are you scared?" Zhen Rigan glanced at Zhang Daniu and said: "
I'm not afraid, I just feel that we should make a choice now! I still say the same thing, these people are not Han people, we have no responsibility to protect them, it's okay to save them when we can, but now we can't protect ourselves, so why bother
Leave them alone!"
Zhang Daniu wanted to refute, but at this moment, a Japanese officer spoke loudly in Korean. Zhang Daniu couldn't help but swallow the words on his lips and listen to what the Japanese officer said. The Japanese officer raised his voice and said
: "You Goryeo pariahs are so bold! Originally, the General wanted to kill you all, but the General was so merciful that as long as you kneel down and beg for mercy, your lives will be spared!"
Wu Xing squinted his eyes and said: "The Japanese have bad intentions, I'm afraid they are playing cat and mouse tricks!" Everyone in Yanyun was not moved at all, but the people of Goryeo could not help but be moved. They originally thought that they were destined to die.
However, the words of the Japanese officer gave them a glimmer of hope. Many Korean people couldn't help but kneel down. As soon as these people knelt down, the Koreans who were still hesitating also knelt down. In an instant, more than ten thousand Koreans all knelt down.
Kneeling on the ground, all they saw was darkness, and voices begging for mercy kept coming; however, among the more than 10,000 Koreans kneeling on the ground, there stood about 200 majestic and sturdy men in Han costumes with weapons.
The big man was particularly conspicuous. In addition, there were more than twenty young Korean women standing behind the Han men without kneeling.
Cangjing Mutuo noticed Wu Xing and the others and felt a little surprised. He frowned slightly and murmured: "Han people? Why are there Han people here?" Then his heart moved and he gave an order to the officer beside him. The officer immediately raised his eyebrows.
He said: "Your Majesty the General said, you could have been spared, but you actually colluded with the Han people, which is an unforgivable crime!" When the Koreans heard this, they immediately panicked and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
General, we didn’t know they were Han Chinese!” “If we knew they were Han Chinese, we would never be with them even if we died!” “If the general wants to kill Han people, just kill Han people. We are Koreans and we are all innocent.
"Yeah!"... The scene was in chaos, with everyone scrambling to draw a clear line with Wu Xing and the others in order to seek forgiveness from the Japanese.
Seeing the Koreans like this, Cangjing Mutuo couldn't help but feel proud and contemptuous. The officer continued: "You are Koreans. If you want to survive, of course you can, but you need to prove that you have not colluded with the Han people. In this way, our general
Only Your Excellency can spare your lives!"
The Koreans looked at each other, not knowing how to prove this; Wu Xing held the handle of the knife and whispered to the people around him: "Get ready to fight!" Everyone also held the handle of the knife. Wu Xing saw the Koreans who had been rescued by them.
The women all stood behind them, and they couldn't help but feel moved in their hearts, saying: "You all should kneel down too, you don't have to risk your lives with us!" Although the women were afraid, they all shook their heads firmly, including the one wearing Japanese armor.
The young woman said in an extremely firm tone: "Without you, we would have died long ago, and our death would have been extremely miserable! You saved our lives, and we will never betray you!" The other girls nodded one after another, although they were very nervous.
He looked scared, but also very determined.
Wu Xing laughed loudly, "Okay! If that's the case, then we will live and die together!" The girls nodded heavily, all looking very excited. The Japanese officer then said: "You must prove it with actions.
It has nothing to do with those Han people!" Then he pointed his right hand at Wu Xing and the others, "Kill those Han people, and your Excellency General will spare you!"
The hearts of all the Koreans were shocked, and they couldn't help turning their heads to look at Wu Xing and the others, looking a little hesitant. Suddenly a big Korean man suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Folks, the Han people are not our compatriots, killing them is nothing."
! Maybe we are in this situation today because of these Han people! Killing them can be regarded as revenge for ourselves!" Many people stood up and echoed at the same time, and then more and more Koreans stood up
When they got up, the shouts of beating and killing became louder and louder. All the Koreans looked very ferocious. Although a few Koreans felt that they should not do this, they did not dare to say anything in the face of such a situation, let alone them.
There was also a vague desire to kill these Han people in exchange for his own life.
When Cangjing Mutuo saw the internal conflict between the Koreans and the Han people, he smiled very happily. To him, the scene in front of him was an extremely wonderful show.
Wu Xing and others and the Korean women gathered together, Ying Sha slowly pulled out the horizontal sword, his eyes were cold. The Korean people saw that they had drawn their weapons, and their expressions were fierce. Although there were many people, they were not able to do anything for a while.
Dare to step forward rashly. Zhen Rigan said mockingly to Zhang Daniu next to him: "Don't you have to protect them? Now they are going to kill us, what else do you have to say?" Zhang Daniu cursed angrily: "These bastards
Lamb!"
The Korean woman wearing Japanese armor said to her compatriots: "Folks, these Han people are our benefactors, we cannot retaliate!" The Korean woman's name was Pu Min, and she was almost publicly humiliated in Panmunjom that day.
The Korean woman who was rescued was in her twenties, quite pretty, and had a very angry look on her face.
There was a look of shame on the faces of many Korean people. Some people snorted and said loudly: "What kind of benefactors! If it weren't for them, the Japanese would not come to embarrass us! We were harmed by them, they are our enemies.
, Kill them, of course!" After hearing this, the Korean people's uneasiness and guilt disappeared immediately, and they started making noises one after another, and they were about to attack Wu Xing and the others. At this time, the light of the setting sun shone on everyone's face
It feels like everyone is so hideous and ugly.
Ah! A strong Korean man shouted, raised a hatchet and rushed towards a secret guard. The secret guard tightened the sword in his hand, and he was sure to cut this ignorant Korean in two. Other Koreans saw someone.
After rushing forward, I couldn't restrain my urge to rush forward.
Whoosh, snap! Two sounds sounded almost at the same time, and a sharp arrow flying across the sky knocked the hatchet out of the hand of the strong Korean man. All the Koreans were stunned by this sudden scene and couldn't help but follow the arrow.
Looking in the direction from which he was flying, he suddenly saw a knight standing on the hill in the west with his back to the setting sun. He had his back to the setting sun and could not see his appearance clearly, but it gave people an extremely majestic feeling, as if he had suddenly fallen from the sky.
Like a god of war.
The Japanese also saw him, and they couldn't help but feel shocked. Cangjing Mutuo frowned and murmured: "Baga, you are pretending to be a ghost!" Even so, he did not dare to neglect at all and increased his vigilance.
At this moment, countless black knights appeared behind the knight, arranged in several horizontal rows, with heavy shadows and no sound. Everyone present could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Cangjing Mutuo realized that a powerful enemy had appeared, and immediately ignored the Koreans and Han people here, and ordered all his soldiers to gather in formation to the west to fight.
Twelve thousand Japanese soldiers quickly withdrew from the encirclement of the Koreans and gathered to the west, forming a large square formation. The battle formations formed by these Japanese troops were far less rigorous than the military formations of various countries in the Central Plains, and there were also problems with the mix of arms.
At the front of them are the spearmen, called spear ashigaru in Japan, the lowest form of infantry, followed by the bow and arrow ashigaru, and hundreds of samurai gathered in the middle to support their commander, Kurai Muta.
.
The war cavalry in the distance slowly started to move. They came down the hillside and came to the plain. At this time, Cangjing Mutuo saw clearly that although the enemy war cavalry coming gave people a very tough feeling, the number was not enough.
But there were not many, only about two thousand people. Cangjing Mutuo couldn't help but double his confidence, and so did all his soldiers.
Those war cavalry were approaching the Japanese army's battle formation at a not very fast speed, and were arranged in three horizontal rows. As they continued to approach, the Japanese only felt an aura coming towards them, getting stronger and fiercer.
The Japanese soldiers couldn't help but hold their breath.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
