The bright moon is in the sky, the soft moonlight is falling on the sea, and the little stars seem to be real and illusory, it is really beautiful.
Nine warships slowly sailed into the port and anchored.
"Quick, get off the boat and return to the city immediately."
Urgent shouts came from the warship, and torches crackled and burned, illuminating the warship as bright as day. Following the shouts, the soldiers quickly disembarked from the ship. These soldiers were the troops under Li Zhen's command and had already Returning to Guangzhou by boat, within half an hour, five thousand soldiers gathered at the dock. Li Zhen loudly ordered: "Guangzhou is being attacked by Japanese pirates. The matter is urgent. Go ahead at full speed and go straight to Guangzhou City."
After the words fell, Li Zhen stepped aside and the soldiers under his command immediately moved forward at full speed.
Li Zhen followed the army, all running quickly.
The rumble of footsteps echoed throughout the world, and the dark team kept moving forward.
When Li Zhen led his army to appear at the gate of Guangzhou City, he found that the gate at the gate had collapsed, revealing the empty gate. When Li Zhen saw this, his heart was hanging in the air, and he looked around After scanning, we found corpses lying inside the city gate. These corpses had mutilated limbs and arms, and looked like they were dead. All the corpses were cold and motionless on the ground.
Huang Shihai looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Commander, it is so quiet at the gate of the city, but there is another killing. The situation is not right. Could it be that the Japs conquered Guangzhou and left after killing people."
At the moment, this is the only explanation that works.
"No matter how many things there are, enter the city immediately."
Li Zhen was worried in his heart and had an anxious look on his face.
Zhilan, Li Xiaotong, Liu Taiping, Gu Lina and others are all in the city. If Guangzhou is destroyed, the Admiral's Mansion will definitely not be spared. What will happen to them? Li Zhen does not dare to imagine deeply, so he can only move forward quickly. He steps forward He started running towards the Admiral's Mansion. He just took five steps forward, but stopped again and raised his hand to signal the army behind him to stop.
"There is a group of people running towards here."
Li Zhen stared ahead warily and heard footsteps coming.
Huang Shihai, Qi Zhenhai and others listened carefully, nodded repeatedly, and ordered the soldiers to be on guard. In less than two minutes, a group of soldiers appeared in front of them. As the distance got closer, when the other party's dress came into Li Zhen's eyes clearly, Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
What came was a group of soldiers, soldiers who had stayed in the city.
It's just that this group of soldiers also had blood on their bodies, making them look miserable.
"Master Li is back."
Li Zhen didn't speak. The soldiers who came to the city gate suddenly shouted loudly with endless joy in their tone. Immediately afterwards, the other soldiers also cheered and were extremely excited that Li Zhen led his army back. This group of soldiers was not Guiliang. The men under his command are the cooks left behind in the military camp.
Li Zhen ordered: "Huang Shihai, call the generals in front and ask about the situation in the city first."
Huang Shihai immediately ran forward and found the general among the soldiers.
The general among the soldiers was a company commander. Although he was in charge of food, he also knew Li Zhen.
He walked up to Li Zhen, raised his hand and saluted Li Zhen, and said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the Japanese pirates who invaded Guangzhou have been killed, and all the remaining Japanese pirates have been captured. Not a single Japanese pirate has escaped. The Admiral's Mansion is safe and sound. My lords were not injured."
Li Zhen pointed to the city gate and said, "What's going on?"
Hearing this, the company commander let out a long sigh and explained: "When the Japanese pirates attacked Guangzhou, they used artillery to blast open the city gate, but there were not enough troops in the city. In order to delay the battle, all the soldiers guarding the city died. Survive.”
Li Zhen frowned and said: "All the soldiers guarding the city died in battle, how could we capture the Japanese pirates?"
The company commander looked rejoicing and explained: "The Japanese pirates killed all the soldiers guarding the city and went straight to the Admiral's Mansion to take control of the Admiral's Mansion. At that time, the Admiral's Mansion had already made preparations. The defending soldiers included soldiers from a company led by me. , as well as one hundred soldiers brought by Lord Guiliang, in addition to more than three hundred young adults who volunteered to protect the Admiral's Mansion."
"The Japanese pirates attacked the Admiral's Mansion, and our numbers are about the same as the Japanese pirates."
"As soon as they fought, the people were defeated and unable to resist the Japanese pirates."
"Subsequently, Lord Guiliang brought more than a hundred soldiers to fight against the Japanese pirates, but these soldiers were no match for the Japanese pirates and were easily defeated. Finally, I led a company of soldiers under my command to go into battle, trying to stop the Japanese pirates, but they still couldn't be stopped. The Japanese pirates were about to enter the Admiral's Mansion, and when the situation was extremely critical, thirteen people came on horseback to kill them. These thirteen people were brave and fierce, and they were all highly skilled in martial arts."
"Among the thirteen people, the leader is named Long Ao. He holds a large sword and is invincible when he attacks the Japanese pirates. He kills people just like killing chickens. Long Ao fought with the Japanese pirate leader. In less than three rounds, the Japanese pirate leader was captured alive. , the remaining Japanese pirates were unwilling to fight, and together with the twelve people under Long Ao's command, the situation changed in an instant, and all the Japanese pirates were controlled."
"call,."
After hearing this, Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately nothing happened.
The big stone in Li Zhen's heart fell to the ground, and a smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand and said: "You take the soldiers back to the military camp and prepare meals. I will let others deal with the soldiers at the gate."
"yes."
The company commander nodded in agreement and led the soldiers back to the military camp.
Li Zhen looked at Lu Shaochuan and ordered: "Send soldiers to collect the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle, cremate them uniformly, and collect the ashes. I will deal with these soldiers. As for the bodies of the dead little Japanese, they will be cremated." Let it drift away with the wind."
"yes."
Lu Shaochuan nodded in agreement and asked his soldiers to clear the battlefield.
Li Zhen looked at Huang Shihai again and ordered: "The fighting in the city is over. Let the troops return to camp. I will return to the Admiral's Mansion with the soldiers from Jian Dao Camp."
"yes."
Huang Shihai nodded and ordered the troops to march to the military camp.
Li Zhen took Huang Qiang and the soldiers from the Jian Dao Battalion and ran towards the Admiral's Mansion. When the group returned, the soldiers on guard saw Li Zhen standing at the door of the Admiral's Mansion and shouted in surprise: "The Admiral is back." People got the news and greeted Li Zhen one after another.
Back at the house, Zhilan, Li Xiaotong and others returned to the backyard. Only Liu Taiping, Guiliang and others were left in the hall.
After Li Zhen sat down, he asked: "Sir, where is Long Ao?"
Liu Taiping replied: "Long Ao led twelve people to eliminate the danger in the Admiral's Mansion, and then left without leaving any trace. If you want to find Long Ao, I suggest you ask Mr. Wei to publish the search in the newspaper."
Guiliang asked: "Hongyi, Turi Island was attacked by Japanese pirates. How is the situation?"
Li Zhen nodded and said: "The danger on Turi Island has been resolved. All we need to do is send troops to garrison. I also learned about the danger in Guangzhou from the little devils on Turi Island, so I rushed back overnight. Unexpectedly, the danger in Guangzhou has already been resolved." solve."
Guiliang interrupted and said, "In that case, Eunuch Han and I will go back to rest without disturbing you."
Li Zhen saw them off and returned to the hall.
Li Zhen asked again: "Sir, how is the situation with the Japanese pirates?"
Liu Taiping said calmly: "All Japanese pirates are being held in prison, waiting for adults to deal with them."
Li Zhen's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The little devil came to attack Guangzhou, and all the soldiers defending the city were killed. If these people are not killed, it will not be enough to vent their hatred." The anger in Li Zhen's heart increased, because the little devil had already been killed twice provocative.
