Chapter 513 Capture the thief and capture the king
As the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd joined the ambush and counter-ambush battle, all the participants in the drama on the terrace were present.
The final result will be decided between these five hundred people and the nineteen people.
In most cases, although it is difficult to say that there is a huge gulf between the two numbers five hundred and nineteen, there is indeed a considerable gap.
Five hundred kilograms of rice can feed a family of three for more than half a year.
Nineteen pounds of rice can keep a person hungry for at least a month.
With five hundred taels of silver, one can live a good and enjoyable life for ten years even in the prosperous Youjing.
Nineteen taels of silver is the hard-earned money that most street vendors can save by going out early and coming home late all year long, without getting sick or having any disasters, and by being frugal and frugal.
However, on the battlefield, nineteen good generals may not be able to withstand the lifeless attack of five hundred elite soldiers.
And an elite division composed of nineteen people might not be able to annihilate five hundred soldiers who lacked battlefield training with zero casualties.
In the rivers and lakes, five hundred minions would probably be killed without even touching the sleeves of nineteen martial arts masters.
Compared with others, there are various differences between people that are difficult to summarize. Most of the time, these differences can make up for or even ignore the impact of the difference in numbers. Therefore, the outcome of many battles depends not on whether they are successful or not.
The number of people can make a conclusion.
This is the situation today.
However, although the middle-aged man in Youjing's private residence set up this situation with the intention of testing the situation and wanted to see the strength of the martial arts figures that the Japanese people had cultivated in recent years, he had obviously already had some calculations in his mind.
Just like he would not leave out the additional combat power of Weaver Girl and Cowherd, if the Japanese side is really weak in combat power, he will definitely let more Japanese people enter to die, or make other arrangements for this ambush.
In his opinion, the outcome of a battle between these 500 people and 19 people was at least 60% to 40%.
After all, among these nineteen people, there are all kinds of people, old, young, disabled.
Five hundred Japanese killers formed a wave, rising one after another, and their momentum continued unabated.
The 19-person reef did not necessarily break many of the surging waves into waves, but instead seemed to be eaten away and swallowed up by the waves.
Before the arrival of Weaver Girl and Cowherd, the burden of reducing the enemy's combat power basically fell on only five or six people, and even less than fifty Japanese were killed.
As the saying goes, there is no dishonest person under fame, and notoriety is no less generous. Under the "threading of the needle" by the Weaver Girl and the rampage of the Cowherd, flesh and blood flew everywhere on the terrace for a while, and screams were repeated. In less than a cup of tea, Dongying
The number of killers dropped sharply to less than four hundred.
However, the Japanese killer's arrogance has not been suppressed, and the wave of counterattack is getting stronger and stronger!
The sacrifices of dozens of people seemed to only give the Fourteen Evil Men a bit of reputation. After that, it was difficult for the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd to make any gains in a cup of tea.
To be precise, it was the Japanese who figured out the attack methods of Weaver Girl and Cowherd at the cost of dozens of lives, and arranged effective combat methods to deal with them, but there seemed to be something vaguely wrong in this.
In fact, Jiang Yichen noticed something was wrong since he was initially targeted by the seven Japanese killers.
At this moment, Jiang Yichen finally discovered what was wrong.
In the first quarter of an hour of fighting, he killed seven people.
In the second quarter of an hour, he only killed three people.
In the third quarter of an hour, although he killed five people, it was thanks to the sudden entrance of Weaver Girl and Cowherd that "spoiled the situation."
If not, he might not be able to kill anyone.
Now, the fourth quarter of an hour has passed, and as expected, no soul has been killed under his sword.
Although this condensation terrace can only accommodate a hundred people performing at the same time, no matter whether the Japanese assassins come with thousands or two or three hundred people, it is difficult to fully utilize their numerical advantage. However, as the overall number of people is reduced, the number of people on the bridge and under
Each Japanese killer has more room for adjustment, interferes less with each other, can better display their respective strengths, and cooperates more smoothly.
In short, the fewer people, the stronger!
In addition, another strange thing is the true identity of these Japanese killers.
Before being singled out by the Japanese killer, Jiang Yichen learned from Xi Weiyu that the opponent had about four to five hundred people. At first, he only regarded these hundreds of people as the power of the Japanese, but now, thinking about it,
He was not the only one who doubted whether these people were soldiers specially trained by Japan.
After all, these Japanese people came with inexplicable ferocity, and the sense of oppression they gave people was no less than that of the killers Jiang Yichen faced in the Yin and Yang Valley, not to mention that the opponents also showed extremely high tactical literacy.
As the saying goes, a raging army is like a raging den. Jiang Yichen found it hard to believe that Jianghu gangs, which were less organized and disciplined, could train such a large number of killers, and he couldn't believe that there was no leader among such a group of killers.
Some rules are the same in the arena and on the battlefield. To capture the thief, you must first capture the king.
Jiang Yichen knew very well that in a short period of time, at least in these three or four hours, expecting reinforcements would not help. This was the purpose of the other party to block the message transmission. Even if the Daoyi Alliance or Tingyuge would be alert within a day,
But step by step is slow, and the news is delayed by a day. No matter how fast the aid comes, it will be delayed by another day and a half. If the war situation continues like this, our side will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. To reverse the current situation and take the initiative, we must find out what is hidden in it.
The commander who never showed up!
Even if "capturing the king" or "killing the king" cannot teach the enemy to defeat without fighting, it can always boost one's own morale, suppress the enemy's prestige, and reduce the enemy's overall combat power to a certain extent.
——But, which man in black is the leader of the Japanese killers?
While Jiang Yichen was responding to the enemy, he took advantage of the opportunity to look around for traces of the enemy's general.
However, all he could see with his eyes was a billowing black tide, and trying to discern the other party's details through other senses would be a bit of a fantasy.
Of course, among the nineteen people, Jiang Yichen was not the only one to have this awareness. Niu Kelian, Ning Kuang and even Xiao Hua on the carriage were also doing the same thing.
There were a bunch of people outside the carriage fighting bravely for them, how could they keep themselves out of it?
The commotion caused by the four Yuntian Guan disciples behind the car had already made them nervous. Seeing Ruan Gu seriously injured and Tingyuge and the other two people in a desperate situation, Ning Kuang could no longer turn a blind eye and stepped out of the car with half a step on his injured body.
When he was about to fight hard, he saw the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd rushing towards him, and then he returned to the carriage with mixed feelings.
After all, Niu Kelian and Ning Kuang were born in the military. They are relatively on the outside. It is easier to see clearly what kind of situation they are in. However, the Japanese people's highly unified team spirit and tacit cooperation and division of labor make it difficult for them to tell the difference for a while.
Exit the general's location.
At this moment, Xiaohua, who had been looking at the side and back of the carriage through the car window, stretched out her delicate hands and grabbed the corner of Niu Kelian's clothes who was observing the battle situation in different directions. When Niu Kelian turned around, she pointed at the people besieging Mo Shang.
One of the more than twenty Japanese killers said, "Daniu, do you think that person is the opponent's general?"
The Japanese killers all wore the same costume, and there was not much difference in body shape in terms of height, fatness, or thinness. This was also ignored by Jiang Yichen, but Niu Kelian and Ning Kuang used this to determine that these killers might be one of the characteristics of Japanese specially trained soldiers.
What can be slightly differentiated is that not all black-clad killers are equipped with swords, but only one out of ten is equipped with chains, fist blades or three-edged sickles.
Although Xiaohua's distant pointing was extremely firm, if it were anyone else, it would be difficult to tell which man in black she was referring to.
But Niu Kelian understood it.
Just then Xiaohua volunteered to do her little bit, and Niu Ke told Xiaohua briefly and comprehensively about the characteristics of an ordinary general. Unexpectedly, she would gain something so quickly.
Seeing that Niu Kelian did not respond immediately, but stared closely at the man in black identified by Xiaohua, hoping to further confirm the identity of the other general, Xiaohua revealed the basis for his judgment.
"Da Niu said that generals are generally more skilled and can always make one or two more cuts than others."
"Most of those people can only make two cuts, and then retreat after three cuts at most. That person can make at least three cuts."
"Daniu said that because the general needs to give orders, he has more body language and will always show it naturally."
"That person always winked at the people around him, raised his chin, and made some small movements with his hands."
"Daniu said that the general will be good at assessing the situation and will adjust the attack method in time according to the effect of the attack. The attack formation may change accordingly."
"From just now to now, those people have changed three formations, and that person happens to be in the last group. Every time he takes a shot, he will change to a new formation in the next round."
There was a din of swords and swords outside the carriage, but it was so quiet inside that only the little girl's voice could be heard.
Xiao Hua seemed to be talking to herself and no one paid attention to her, but Niu Kelian heard every word of her words and compared them with what she said and carefully screened them.
"Yes! It's him!"
Niu Kelian's voice was trembling. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the battlefield, but he quickly suppressed his emotions. He just embraced Xiao Hua lovingly in his arms and rubbed that smart head.
Feeling Niu Kelian's excitement was beyond words, Xiaohua was not annoyed that Niu Kelian had rubbed her hair into a mess.
Ning Kuang had already gathered together and identified the Japanese general under Niu Kelian's repeated guidance.
Although there may be more than one leader among these hundreds of Japanese killers, it is always good to find one and kill one.
As for how to find this person, Ning Kuang has his own way!
Ning Kuang rarely grinned an ugly smile and rubbed Xiaohua's head affectionately.
Hehe laughed and said, "Xiaohua, bring me some wine!"
