Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 166 Coming and not being indecent

The sun fell on the sea, sparkling and very beautiful.

The sea breeze is also quite gentle, blowing on the body, like a pair of soft hands gently stroking.

Ozawa's heart can't feel these things.

He was panting heavily, sliding his arms vigorously, swimming forward, desperately trying to stay away from the terrifying nightmare land.

He even suspected that he might really be dreaming.

Obviously everyone was so happy when they went out to sea, singing together and enjoying the sea breeze after going out to sea, but suddenly everything changed.

Those terrible Zhou people, like the ghosts in strange stories, rushed aboard and slaughtered their people.He witnessed with his own eyes that several of his close friends had their heads cut off with machetes by the Zhou people and those who were called "Bei'an Army" by the samurai adults.

The bloody and terrifying scene lingered in his mind.

He didn't have any courage to fight, so he threw away the knife and jumped into the sea to escape.

There were many others who jumped into the sea like him, but they were all unlucky and were caught and killed by the Bei'an soldiers lurking below.

He escaped by chance. Someone in the Bei'an soldiers saw him and wanted to chase him, but their command seemed to stop him from chasing him.

This made Ozawa feel a little bit of luck, but this bit of luck couldn't break down the mountain of despair.

His arms are sore.

Even though he grew up by the sea and was good at swimming, the excessive exertion just now caused him to consume a lot of energy, and his arm muscles seemed to be torn.

Ozawa mustered up the courage to turn his head to look, those boats were already leaving, and almost all the bodies of Eastern Japanese soldiers floating on the sea surface.He tried his best to find a Bei'an soldier, but he couldn't find it.

This gave him the urge to cry in addition to his resentment.

He regretted why he took part in this operation.I even regret why I became an ashigaru and why I joined the army.If he was just an ordinary fisherman, his life might be very difficult, but he would never be in the current situation.

Now he was dying, he knew it all too well, there would be no miracle, no boat would come out of nowhere to rescue him.

"Will this be retribution..."

He muttered with trembling lips.

In the past, he also participated in the operation of harassing the fishing village on the border of Dazhou and robbed some things.Could it be that those evil things will be watched by gods in the dark, and now, the retribution will come?
Ozawa's out-of-focus eyes gradually focused, and he vaguely saw a black vertical board approaching in the distance.

When he realized what it was, he was completely desperate.

But he suddenly looked in the direction where the warships of the Bei'an army were leaving, and he didn't know what to think of. The expression on his face was actually more frightening than seeing a shark.

"Do not!!!"

He let out a stern roar, because he realized that the direction the Bei'an army warship was leaving was the direction of Dongwo.

……

Qi Jiguang stood on a trophy, and he looked at the double-decker warship. From an engineering point of view, this ship is indeed very good.

It must have cost a lot of money to be able to manufacture the Dongwo.

But they probably didn't expect that the sailboats they painstakingly built are now owned by the Bei'an Army.

There is no doubt that the Bei'an army won this battle completely, and the enemy basically died, leaving only a few alive for interrogation.The five double-decker sailboats are also intact and undamaged, and can be brought back to the ferry in the capital.

Even the "morale" of the masters of the rivers and lakes has become very sufficient.

These people from the rivers and lakes were originally more individualistic and rebellious, but since they discovered that obedience can win battles and kill Japanese pirates, they all obey Qi Jiguang's words.

Especially when they heard Qi Jiguang explain the next action just now, they were gearing up excitedly, restless.

Qi Jiguang decided to go to Dongwo.

Of course this goes, it is better to say that it is a surprise attack.

In order to avoid encountering sharks earlier, Qi Jiguang let the fleet leave quickly.There are two options for leaving, one is to return to the capital ferry with a big enough victory, and the other is to conduct a surprise attack on Dongwa.

This was not the task Su Yuan entrusted to Qi Jiguang. Su Yuan just asked Qi Jiguang to take charge of the interception operation, but he did not say "come back immediately after completing the interception operation".

Therefore, Qi Jiguang may have other ideas besides returning to Beijing after completing the set tasks.

As Su Yuan thought before, unlike ordinary summoned soldiers, every rare general has a very different personality.Their intelligence level is much higher than that of Jin Yiwei, and because of their outstanding personalities, if they are not given clear orders, then they will do something that surprises Su Yuan according to their own personalities and ideas.

This is the case for Li Yuanba, Zhao Yun, and even Qi Jiguang until now.

Qi Jiguang now decided to raid Dongwa, not for meritorious service, but according to his observation, he found that the Dongwa sailors were extremely arrogant and arrogant, so arrogant that they did not set up a scout ship at all.

This means that the ferry of the Eastern Japanese will be very negligent.

Under such circumstances, what would some Eastern Japanese at the ferry react when they saw the fast boats and double-decker sailboats from their own country coming?
They will probably think it is their own army at the first moment, and they will not arouse any suspicion.

The reason for this is entirely related to the fact that Dongwo has not suffered a similar raid, so Qi Jiguang suddenly decided to teach Dongwo a lesson.

Of course, he also understood that he would not dare to raid a large ferry, after all, he did not have many troops on his side.Even if there are dozens of masters in the rivers and lakes, it is not enough insurance. If the raid is frustrated and a large number of soldiers are lost, then he can't go back and explain to Su Yuan.

It was the ferry in Torioka Prefecture that he decided to raid.

This ferry is the closest, and the defense is average. In addition, from the interrogation of the captives, it is known that they set off from the Torioka Ferry, so there are not many guards left there.

In this way, once a surprise attack is carried out, it will definitely pay off.

After Qi Jiguang made this decision, the masters of the rivers and lakes undoubtedly agreed with it overwhelmingly.

In the past, it was the Japanese pirates who came to Dazhou to act as a dominance and cause tragedies on their land.As the saying goes, come and don't be indecent, now that you have the ability and the opportunity, why not go to the territory of the Eastern Japan and make a big fuss?

For this reason, Qi Jiguang also told everyone to obey the command in all actions when they arrived at the ferry, and not to kill fishermen and civilians at will.

The men naturally agreed, they would not kill anyone they saw like Japanese pirates and beasts.As a martial arts practitioner, there is still a sense of integrity.

It takes a certain amount of time to sail, but fortunately there is no shortage of rations. The Eastern Japanese soldiers are all dead, so their rations can naturally be fully utilized.Then grab some at the ferry, don't worry about being hungry.

In fact, if it weren't for the consideration of the masters of the rivers and lakes, Qi Jiguang and the Lou Chuan soldiers would not need to bring rations.As summoned soldiers, they don't need to eat and can recover their physical strength while sitting.Just in order not to scare the masters of the rivers and lakes, they pretended to eat and drink like normal people.

Subsequently, Qi Jiguang interrogated several Eastern Japanese prisoners.

There was also a samurai among them, who was still bluffing before the interrogation, and wanted to kill himself by caesarean section for the general and the daimyo, in order to show his loyalty.But when Qi Jiguang asked someone to put the knife in front of him, the warrior was silent for a moment, then kicked the knife away again, crying bitterly.

Obviously, in the face of death, the so-called bushido spirit is nothing more than that.

As soon as his spirit broke down, he didn't need to be executed. The warrior told everything he knew, and begged for mercy without bottom line after speaking.

"My lord, please let me go! You let me do whatever you want, sweep the ground, feed the horses, water the fields and sow the fields. Do you need a watchdog, my lord? I am willing to be a watchdog for you! Bow woof woof woof woof !"

Qi Jiguang: "..."

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, once a person loses his bottom line, he can do anything.

But he obviously doesn't need a watchdog.

After the interrogation, Qi Jiguang stood alone at the bow of the boat, sorting out in his mind what he was going to report to Su Yuan.

The most critical of them is undoubtedly that Shanggong Shingen.

This shogun is currently the most powerful general in Eastern Japan, and has been seeking to seize the territory of the Great Zhou.The Shanggong family was originally a big Eastern Japanese family, and Shanggong Shingen received the support of the family and the largest ninja school, which is why he can overwhelm other generals.

Moreover, this person is good at inspiring the spirit, and many people are willing to serve him because of this.According to the current situation, there will soon be no force in the East Japan that can stop the Shanggong shogunate, and the other shogunate will soon lose their living space.

It would definitely not be a good thing for the Bei'an Army if the Shanggong family were to dominate.Qi Jiguang thought to himself, as a subordinate, he was thinking of Su Yuan in everything.

For this raid, when he decided to announce it to the outside world, he did not declare that it was targeting the entire Eastern Japanese.And to claim that it was aimed at the Shanggong Shogunate was to retaliate against the previous attack on the capital ferry by the Shanggong Shogunate.

Then things are different...

If it is declared to target the entire Eastern Japanese, then the major shogunate of Eastern Japanese will unite to fight against the enemy.If it was just declared that this was an act of revenge, then the other shogunate might join forces to condemn the Shanggong family and condemn them for bringing danger to Dongwa.

It is better to discord within the enemy than to unite the enemy.

……

The next day.

It was just dawn, and some fishermen in Dukou Fishing Village in Torioka County had already gotten up.

The early bird catches the worm. Fishing is undoubtedly one of the industries that need to get up early. Many fishermen get up before dawn to tidy their nets and gear, and when the weather is slightly brighter, they get on the fishing boats and go fishing.

Today, as usual, the fishermen got up early and prepared to go to sea by the ferry.Then, they saw Dongwa's ships coming from afar.

"Strange, the adults' boat came back so soon?"

"Didn't you just leave yesterday..."

"It's a bit strange. My brother is a soldier on board, and he said he won't be able to return for the time being, and he will be staying on an overseas island for many days."

"Who knows about the grown-ups. Hey, let's move the fishing boat out of the way so it doesn't get in the way!"

Out of curiosity, the fishermen also removed the sundries one after another, stood aside, and quietly watched the boats approaching.

Only when the boat approached and the people in front jumped down and ran quickly did the fishermen realize that something was wrong.

"they are……"

"What kind of clothes are those? It doesn't seem like we..."

"Could it be someone from another country?!"

"Oops! It's the enemy! Run!"

The fishermen were terrified when they found out that it was not the Eastern Japanese soldiers who came back.Some froze in place, their hands and feet were stiff and they dared not move.Some ran as soon as they ran, but they were overtaken by the Jianghu masters of the Bei'an Army within a short time and knocked down to the ground.

"Boy, do you want to report the news? Believe it or not, the uncle cut you off?"

"Wow wow wow!"

The fisherman who was knocked down yelled, and the words in his mouth could not be understood by the masters of the rivers and lakes.

There was a language barrier between the two sides, and only Qi Jiguang understood the Eastern Japanese language. He asked the soldiers to gather the fishermen and said, "Don't move around, or you will be killed without mercy."

He didn't need to say anything superfluous, leaving some soldiers to guard, and then led the main force forward.

Qi Jiguang's purpose was not to rob the fishing village, but to destroy the local military force and capture the highest local official position alive—that is, to destroy the county government and capture the county magistrate alive.

He had obtained the location information from the prisoner, and the distance was not far, less than half an hour's journey.Break the mansion, and then come back, a total of more than an hour, the time is completely rich.

As long as no one reports the news, Qi Jiguang and others will already be on the boat back to the capital when the shogunate receives the news and the army comes to support again.

The fishermen were controlled, and everyone was terrified. Most of them obeyed Qi Jiguang's orders and did not dare to act rashly.But there are also courageous ones, perhaps wanting to make meritorious deeds and change their lives, and when the guards are not paying attention, they suddenly bump a man away and run wildly into the distance.

"Huh?" The eyes of a left-behind master of the rivers and lakes lit up. He felt that it was meaningless for him to stay. He was so happy to see someone running away.

He turned his palm, a flying knife appeared, raised his arm, and waved towards the escaped fisherman.

"middle!"

With a puff, the throwing knife sank into the back of the fisherman's neck, and he fell to the ground in response, his body twitched a few times and stopped moving.

When the other fishermen witnessed this scene, they were all too scared to breathe, and no one dared to think of running away.

The country of Dongwa is not big, and the county seat is naturally very compact. It is only connected by a dirt road from the ferry fishing village to the city.When Qi Jiguang rushed to the city gate with his men, five or six Eastern Japanese guards were leaning against the low city gate and chatting.

Seeing Qi Jiguang and others, they were killed by the Bei'an army before they could feel fear and were still very confused.

Qi Jiguang can do not kill people at will, but for the safety of his soldiers, he will not show any mercy to the soldiers of the Eastern Japan, and he will kill one when he sees one.

A group of hundreds of people killed the guards and rushed into the county seat, immediately causing a lot of screams.

In this small county town, most of the Dongbo people on the road are malnourished and short in stature. How can they not be afraid when they see a group of tall soldiers rushing in?They fled in all directions, not daring to look at each other.

Qi Jiguang had a clear goal and led the soldiers quickly. When he led people to the county government, the soldiers of the county government were coming out of it, obviously hearing the movement.But how can the tens of hundreds of government soldiers in this area be able to compete with Qi Jiguang's department?

Qi Jiguang immediately shouted: "Go in! Capture the county guard alive!"
