Although the Niten First-class is very strong, Miyamoto Tadanobu is not Miyamoto Musashi, and it is difficult for the Niten First-class to display its true essence in his hands!
After surviving the first period of fast attack, Yu Longyou gradually adapted to Miyamoto Tadanobu's attacking rhythm.
Yang Qingyuan also saw that Yu Longyou's martial arts foundation should come from Shaolin.
Although I don't like Buddhism, the basic skills of Shaolin martial arts are indeed very solid. With a strong body of true energy, combined with the airtight and water-impermeable stick technique, Miyamoto Tadanobu's two-sword style gradually loses its advantage.
The two sides passed another fifty moves. Yu Longyou saw that he couldn't crack Ertian's first-rate sword skills in a short time, so he simply stopped cracking it!
After Yu Longyou used the eight-step light skill of chasing cicadas to open his position, he simply swept across with a single strike of the long iron stick in his hand, attacking the enemy and saving him!
Ertian is a first-class double-sword switcher, and his body skills are light. It is unwise to fight head-on with his moves.
Yu Longyou also saw this, so he maximized the power of his stick technique and its characteristics of wide opening and closing, using only the four techniques of hitting, splitting, blocking and sweeping to defeat the enemy.
Use strength to defeat cleverness! One force can defeat ten groups!
The long stick swept across the sky, and the shadows of the stick filled the sky. The overwhelming offensive completely left no room for Miyamoto Tadanobu's two-class exquisite moves to be used.
Yang Qingyuan, who was watching the battle from the rooftop, was amazed by such an action. Yu Longyou's stick skills had a vague master's style. From Yang Qingyuan's current perspective, such stick skills were praised among Shaolin's Xuan generation and even Kong's generation.
Go first.
But Yu Longyou’s stick skills are more than that!
The original opening and closing of the stick technique suddenly changed. Yu Longyou first pointed the stick straight and hit the blade of Miyamoto Tadanobu's straight knife. The strong force of the iron long stick almost made Miyamoto Tadanobu lose his hand with the straight knife, and then
Another backhand move.
The combination of hardness and softness in the stick technique made it difficult for Miyamoto Tadanobu to defend himself. The long straight knife in his hand was unsteady and was knocked away by Yu Longyou with a stick.
Miyamoto Tadanobu, who only had a small sword left, was unable to resist Yu Longyou's attack. He ignored his master's style and rolled backwards continuously to avoid Yu Longyou's attack!
"All troops attack!!"
Seeing that the victory was decided, Matsuura Jigoro ordered his troops to press forward again.
However, it can be seen that the morale of the Japanese warriors was obviously lowered after Miyamoto Tadanobu's defeat. On the other hand, the morale of the Zhou army was high.
This may be the role of the generals in front of the formation!
"Your Highness, I have shamed Japanese martial arts!"
Miyamoto Tadanobu bowed his head and stood in front of Matsuura Ergoro. He was the disciple and nephew of the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, but he was defeated at the hands of an "ordinary" general of the Zhou army. This made him extremely ashamed and angry.
Not only did he lose the face of Miyamoto Musashi, but he also lost the face of Japanese martial arts!
"Miyamoto-kun! There is a saying in Zhou Dynasty that people sometimes make mistakes and pigs sometimes stumble."
"..." Miyamoto Tadanobu felt something was wrong. After a moment of silence, he tentatively said, "Your Highness, you must have made a mistake!"
"No, no! My teacher Zhou Wen once said that it is a very common thing for a horse to stumble, but it is different for a pig to stumble! This is a rare event, just like Miyamoto-kun's failure just now!
An occasional failure does not explain the problem. Miyamoto-kun must not lose confidence because of this!"
Miyamoto Tadanobu: "...What His Highness the Second Highness said makes sense! I am being shallow!"
"Miyamoto-kun, now is not the time to reflect. You still need to contain the Zhou army general. No one in the army can restrain him except you!"
Miyamoto Tadanobu turned to look at Yu Longyou, who was killing everyone, and knew that what Matsuura Ergoro said was true.
The stick is originally good at group battles. As the saying goes, the gun picks a line and the stick sweeps away a large area!
And Yu Longyou's martial arts were so superb. If Miyamoto Tadanobu had not taken action, no one could stop Yu Longyou who was descending like a tiger from the mountain. He could defeat the offensive of the Japanese warriors by himself.
Under such circumstances, Miyamoto Tadanobu flew forward, pulled out the straight knife that had just been thrown away, and stepped forward with a slash, interrupting Yu Longyou's offensive!
"It's you again! How can you fight again with a defeated general?"
Yu Longyou looked disdainful, but in his heart he was wary.
Although Miyamoto Tadanobu has just been defeated by his stick, he is not a weakling in terms of swordsmanship, body skills, and internal strength! It will be troublesome if he gets entangled with him!
As expected by Yu Longyou, Miyamoto Tadanobu did not answer, but entangled him as soon as he came up. He changed his style of attacking with all his strength just now, used his body skills to avoid Yu Longyou's offensive, and looked for opportunities to counterattack with his sword.
In this situation, although Yu Longyou was not under pressure, there was a poisonous snake swimming beside him, and it was difficult for Yu Longyou to let go of his hands and feet and attack the Japanese warrior with all his strength.
Yang Qingyuan, who was standing on the roof, never made a move.
Yu Longyou is the general of Siming. Since he appears here, it means that the Zhou army of Siming already knows what happened here. Looking at the uniforms of the Zhou army on the street, they are obviously not the clothes of the Great Zhou city defense army.
It means that these people should be reinforcements arriving. The groups of horses indicate that the cavalry went first and the infantry was still on the way.
If Yang Qingyuan takes action now, he can certainly subdue Matsuura Ergoro instantly, but he cannot catch all the Japanese pirates.
Yang Qingyuan has even thought about the Japanese pirates' lines in his mind: Mr. Yang, if we all escape separately, you may not be able to kill us all with your own strength!!
In order to avoid this embarrassing situation, Yang Qingyuan chose to wait for the arrival of Yu Longyou's main force.
The battle continued for another three quarters of an hour. At this moment, the Zhou army, led by Yu Longyou, focused on defense. The Japanese pirates tried a frontal attack, a sneak attack over the wall, and a multi-faceted and multi-level attack.
However, due to the powerful crossbows and stubborn resistance of the Zhou army, they were repelled time and time again.
The Japanese pirates began to become agitated after being unable to attack them for a long time.
Yu Longyou's first wave of reinforcements has arrived, and Matsuura Ergoro can foresee that the rest of the reinforcements must be on their way.
The longer they delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for them. Matsuura Jigoro has already begun to consider retreat.
The original expectation was to conquer Yaozhou County, kidnap Wang Hua, the governor of Yangzhou, and escape immediately before Zhou could react.
There are many mountains in Yuezhou. It is not easy to find them in the mountains. Once they escape to the sea, they will be trapped in the sea!
Compared with the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not that powerful. Besides, in the vast sea, where can the Great Zhou Dynasty find them?!
But now there are changes to this plan.
The reinforcements to support Yaozhou County came so quickly, which was beyond their expectation. Although Yaozhou County had been conquered, the results were not great enough, so Matsuura Ergoro was wavering between withdrawing his troops and continuing the attack.
After careful consideration, Matsuura Jigoro ordered a retreat!
Although the result of massacre of the city was not achieved, conquering Yaozhou County and massacring hundreds of people should be enough to arouse the anger of Zhou Dynasty. The first step of Matsuura Takanobu's plan has been achieved!
"Pass my order, the entire army will withdraw alternately and evacuate to Xiangshan Port! Let the injured warriors cover the army and stop the enemy! Now is the time for them to be loyal to the Matsuura Domain!"
"Hai!"
Yang Qingyuan was on the roof and observed that the Japanese pirates' attack momentum began to slow down, and he knew that they were about to run away!
Although the combat power of this group of Japanese pirates is not weak, they are in the land of China after all, and there is a risk of being surrounded and annihilated by the Zhou army at any time.
Yang Qingyuan originally thought of waiting for reinforcements to arrive and catch them all in one fell swoop, but now it seems that he can't wait any longer, so he can only catch all these big fish first!
Yang Qingyuan, who had been standing on the roof, blending in with nature and having no sense of existence, suddenly flew down from the roof.
Without anyone taking any precautions, the straight knife was already placed between Matsuura Jigoro's neck.
"Have your men! Put down their weapons!"
Matsuura Jigoro was stunned for a while before he accepted the fact that a person suddenly appeared and kidnapped him.
"who are you?!"
Yang Qingyuan learned the lessons from before. Although he is now well-known in the world of Da Zhou, people in Japan probably don't know him.
So this time he added the prefix!
"Wudang Yang Qingyuan!"
Japanese warriors may not have heard of Wenhuadian Bachelor, but they are definitely familiar with Wudang!
"It turns out that he is a disciple of Wudang. It is said that Shaolin Wudang is the Taishan Beidou of the Central Plains martial arts! It is indeed well-deserved!"
Sure enough, Wudang's name is much louder than Yang Qingyuan's! People will know it as soon as they hear it.
But Yang Qingyuan shook his head and corrected, "Your words are ridiculous!"
"ah!?"
Matsuura Jigoro obviously doesn’t know where he went wrong!
"It's not Shaolin and Wudang, it's Wudang and Shaolin!" Yang Qingyuan said righteously.
But Matsuura Jigoro was confused. Is there any difference?
What a big difference!
Translated into the words on Blue Star, it means Peking University students: "Peking University and Tsinghua University are the best universities in China!"
Tsinghua student, "I agree, Tsinghua and Peking University are indeed the two largest universities in China!"
You can never lose in terms of momentum!
Yang Qingyuan is the vice president of Wudang Daowu University and the second largest shareholder of Wudang Business Group. This is an issue that must be investigated carefully! Face must not be lost!
"Now order your men to put down their weapons!"
The cold blade of the straight knife was pressed against Matsuura Jigoro's neck, but it was obvious that he was a tough guy and had no intention of giving in.
"Everyone, leave me alone and continue to retreat!"
Most of the Japanese warriors evacuated under the leadership of the leader. Yu Longyou did not have enough troops at the moment, and he was unable to pursue them even if he wanted to, so he had no choice but to let them go.
But Matsuura Jigoro's bodyguards and Miyamoto Tadanobu did not leave, and wanted to try to rescue Matsuura Jirogo.
Especially the personal guards of Matsuura Jigoro. They are Matsuura Jigoro's personal guards and are not even affiliated with the Matsuura Domain. Their life and death, honor and disgrace are closely related to Matsuura Jigoro, and they are determined not to betray their master and leave!
Upon seeing this, Yang Qingyuan took out a token from his arms, and under the guidance of Zhen Yuan, it accurately fell into Yu Longyou's hand.
"I, Yang Qingyuan, Bachelor of Wenhua Palace, also ask General Yu to lead troops immediately to guard the four gates and build city walls and fortifications to prevent Japanese pirates from counterattack!"
The Japanese pirates didn't know about Yang Qingyuan, but Yu Longyou knew about it, especially because he was inextricably linked to the Shaolin sect.
It is rumored that Yang Qingyuan's martial arts, agility, and resourcefulness are the best choice, and he is Yu Longyou's superior. Listen to him at this time, and you can't go wrong!
"The last general takes command!"
Afterwards, Yu Longyou divided the remaining soldiers and civilians into five teams, four of which went to the fourth gate respectively.
The remaining team stayed in hand to clean the battlefield and track down the remaining enemies.
After arranging everything, Yu Longyoucai walked to the place where Yang Qingyuan and others were confronting each other.
Although Yang Qingyuan has great martial arts skills, he is alone after all, and Yu Longyou is afraid that he will suffer a loss!
I want to help you!
"I say it again, put down your weapons!"
However, these personal guards turned a deaf ear and instead clenched the sword in their hands and approached Yang Qingyuan and the others.
Seeing this, Yang Qingyuan shook his head slightly, sealed Matsuura Jirogo's meridians with one finger of his backhand, and then his figure flashed, shuttling between Matsuura Jirogoro's thirty personal guards like a ghost.
In less than ten breaths, these personal guards fell to the ground. All of them had swords in their left hands and right legs.
Miyamoto Tadanobu, who originally wanted to take action, was extremely shocked when he saw Yang Qingyuan's actions!
With such precise swordsmanship and such superb light kung fu, even if his uncle Miyamoto Musashi were here, he wouldn't dare to win easily!
However, after fear and hesitation, Miyamoto Tadanobu still raised the two swords in his hands and said silently, "The body can die, but the name of the samurai cannot be abandoned!"
"Miyamoto Tadanobu! Let me teach you your brilliant move!"
Yang Qingyuan was also watching just now. Miyamoto Tadanobu was different from ordinary Japanese pirate warriors. He did not attack civilians or directly kill Zhou soldiers. He just fought with Yu Longyou.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Forget it, I'll allow you to take a look at the Divine Sword!"
Miyamoto Tadanobu was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Excellency!"
With the straight sword in his palm, he held it forward and backward. Under the pressure of Yang Qingyuan, Miyamoto Tadanobu felt that his condition had reached its peak.
Flying forward, the Tai Sword and the Straight Sword came out at the same time. The Yin and Yang swords were already in balance!
Miyamoto Tadanobu confirmed that this was the limit he could reach. It was the perfect sword he had never made in all these years.
"interesting!"
Yang Qingyuan used the straight knife as a sword in his palm and swung out the sword.
Natural, harmonious, and natural.
The setting clouds and the solitary owl fly together, and the autumn water becomes the same color as the sky.
Water is an indispensable thing in life. Water can live in harmony with all living things. No matter what the terrain, water can complement each other.
This is Yang Qingyuan's unique skill, "Luoxia Liuzhu Sword", which he created by absorbing the essence of Wudang swordsmanship.
Miyamoto Tadanobu had never seen such a natural swordsmanship. It seemed that it was not made by manpower, but existed between heaven and earth.
There is no trace of craftsmanship in this sword, it is nothing more than ingenuity!
The sword blades crossed each other, the tachi and the straight sword were already out of hand, and there was a long bloody mark on his back.
It seems that the result of this sword attack should have been so ordinary.
Miyamoto Tadanobu completely surrendered to this sword and knelt down to be bound!
Yang Qingyuan was not pretentious, and was a little empty, temporarily sealing Miyamoto Tadanobu's acupuncture point.
Seeing that Yang Qingyuan had already dealt with these people, Yu Longyou stepped forward with a long stick in hand and said, "General Yu Longyou is here to see Scholar Yang!"
"General Yu Shen doesn't need to be polite!" Yang Qingyuan gave a slight support of his true energy and helped Yu Longyou who wanted to salute.
"Thank you, sir!"
Yu Longyou was originally worried that Yang Qingyuan, who was born in Wudang and was at odds with Shaolin, would look down on him, but he didn't expect that there was no disrespect at all.
On the contrary, I have used my villain's heart to seize the heart of a gentleman!
Yang Qingyuan was not as selfless as Yu Longyou thought. If he faced a monk, Yang Qingyuan would never have such a friendly attitude.
But Yu Longyou, like himself, was first a minister of Zhou Dynasty, and then a disciple of Wudang and Shaolin.
In particular, Yu Dayou is still a lay disciple, so the Shaolin mark on his body is even shallower. If he were not in the position of a general and his own stick skills are good, many disciples of Southern Shaolin have joined his army, otherwise he would not be able to
Just like ordinary Shaolin lay disciples, they only get the title of lay disciple for free!
"Which branch does General Yu belong to, and how many troops did he bring with him?!"
Yu Longyou handed over the long iron stick in his hand to the soldiers on the side, "The last general is affiliated to the Xuanwu Guards among the Twelve Guards. Recently, we received information from coastal fishermen that a large group of Japanese pirates have landed. We then carefully inspected all parties."
, and received a report from the common people yesterday, saying that they had discovered traces of a small group of Japanese pirates in disguise, and inferred that the purpose of the Japanese pirates was probably to attack Yaozhou County, so they led the cavalry to come first!"
"But our southern army was mainly composed of infantry and had few horses. Originally there were only 200 horses. Finally, the general raised funds from all parties in the four Ming Dynasties, and then we gathered another 100 horses and 300 cavalry to support us.
"
Yang Qingyuan nodded. The southeast area was hilly. Not to mention the partial division of the Twelve Guards, even the 30,000 divine warriors stationed in the south of the Yangtze River did not have many cavalry.
"When will the infantry under General Yu Shen arrive!?"
"The infantry is led by the deputy general and is coming at a fast pace. It is estimated that they will be able to reach Yaozhou in another hour!!"
For a partial division of twelve guards, this speed is already not slow!
"If General Yu Shen hadn't arrived in time today, I'm afraid the entire people of Yaozhou County would have been robbed! I will definitely report to the court afterwards and ask for credit for General Yu Shen!"
Yu Longyou was also very happy by Yang Qingyuan's words. It was his responsibility to protect the country and the people, but it would be the best thing if he could be praised by the court for his military achievements!
After all, who doesn’t want a promotion and a raise in salary?!
"Then after the infantry arrives, General Yu Shen will be in charge and will continue to hunt down the remaining Japanese pirates. We must not allow the Japanese pirates to come and go freely in our land of China!"
"The last general takes command!"
Yu Longyou then introduced to Yang Qingyuan several figures serving in the army.
Because Yu Longyou once studied in Shaolin, most of the people he knew were related to Shaolin.
Especially some of the bald heads looked particularly conspicuous under the sun.
"These are disciples of Southern Shaolin, Tianchi, Tianzhen..."
Although Yang Qingyuan has no favorable impression of Shaolin, several monks are all working to protect the country and the people and cannot be confused!
"How polite are the Shaolin masters! How lucky are these few to be able to put down the Wooden Fish Scriptures and work for the imperial court to suppress the bandits and retreat from the Japanese?"
The leader of the naive monk raised his palm and saluted Yang Qingyuan, "Scholar Yang's words are serious. We Shaolin Wudang are both righteous in the martial arts, and we should do our best!"
"What Monk Tianzhen said is true. Although our Wudang Shaolin Taoism is different, our heart of righteousness is still the same! For the Japanese pirates who invaded our Central Plains, we should work together to kill the thieves and protect the people with thunderous means!"
Yu Longyou: "..."
He has long heard that Shaolin and Wudang are very difficult to deal with, but he has never had a chance, and he finally saw it today.
They even have to fight over the order of precedence... Is this the stubbornness of direct disciples of Wudang and Shaolin?
…
About an hour later, Yu Longyou's deputy general arrived with the main force of the infantry, totaling 3,000 troops.
After resting for a while, Yu Longyou personally led the pursuit in the direction of Xiangshan Mountain.
