Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 204
After a day's travel, the Bei'an Army led by Su Yuan passed Chongming Road.

Su Yuan was quite surprised that the officers and soldiers of Chongming Dao did not stop them, but directly chose to surrender.

He asked the Taoist officials of Chongming Dao and found out that some of the soldiers of Chongming Dao had been transferred to Naijing.

It seems that something happened to Naikyo, Kamiya Shingen mobilized a large number of elite troops.The rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.

The [-] elites of Changping Dao were defeated before, not to mention these thousands of old and weak?

In desperation, the Chongming Taoist official had no choice but to surrender in order not to let his people die in vain.

This is also a good thing for Su Yuan.

And different from Changping Dao, the first thing he did after he led his troops into Chongming Dao this time was to confiscate all the homes of the wealthy households.

All the property and warehouses of the rich merchants were taken away by soldiers of the Bei'an Army.

Su Yuan himself would not want it, and now he is marching to fight a war, so it is definitely not enough to bring some spoils of war.

Besides, he didn't want it himself. He distributed all these things to ordinary people.

All of a sudden, the common people of Chongming Road who had been secretly cursing Bei'an Army changed their attitudes one after another.

Even if some wealthy businessmen complained about their misery, the common people would not sympathize with them.This is human nature.

Some ordinary people even took the initiative to come to the Bei'an army, telling them which one was a hidden rich businessman, and there were many properties of unknown origin in the family.

The Bei'an Army naturally followed the good advice, absorbed the information, and went to collect it.

In just half a day, the people at the bottom have changed from being hostile to supporting the Bei'an Army.

As for those so-called high-level people, it doesn't matter whether they are hostile or not, because they have no power at all.Maybe it is very strong to oppress the people at the bottom, but it is weaker than sheep in the face of foreign invaders.

Shenqianle Lingmeng looked at it all the way, and understood Su Yuan's strategy.

It is a strategy, but in fact it is very simple. It is to rob the rich and help the poor.

These four words are easy to say, but too difficult to do.

To rob the rich and help the poor, first of all, the person who "robs" must have strength, and secondly, after robbing the rich, he himself becomes a new rich.At this time, it is not easy to resist the temptation and continue to help the poor.

Most successful people who rob the rich fail at the step of helping the poor.

She had never seen any of these troubles in Su Yuan.

He didn't even look at the confiscated gold and silver treasures, as if he didn't care.

During dinner, when everyone was sitting at the same table, Shenqianle Lingmeng couldn't help asking him, "Don't you want those treasures?"

Su Yuan said casually: "What's the use of those, I'm not short of money."

"But……"

Shenqian Leling dreamed that there are more people who are not short of money, and most of them are still unable to satisfy their desires and earn more money every day.

She wants to say that if you don't want it, don't your subordinates and your soldiers don't want it either.

But thinking about it carefully, judging from her experience with the army in the past two days, it seems that the Bei'an Army is really different from other armies.

This army is strictly prohibited by order, and everyone seems to be the hands and feet extended by Su Yuan, very obedient.

This is really scary...

Shenqianle Reimu felt a chill, with such an army, who else would be his opponent?
She couldn't help but rejoice that Su Yuan wasn't some kind of tyrant... If someone like Shingen Uemiya had mastered this power, I'm afraid not only Dongwo, but the whole world would be plunged into darkness.

"We won't be marching today." Su Yuan said to everyone, "Have a rest for one night, and maintain the best condition for a decisive battle in Naijing tomorrow."

"Yes." Qi Jiguang said, "I'll inform everyone right away."

"Ah."

There is no need to rest when summoning soldiers, but the masters of the rivers and lakes still need it.Let them not rest for two consecutive days, even if they have martial arts, their condition will be extremely poor.

This time I went to Naikyo not only to deal with the Eastern Japan Corps, but there might also be a monster orochi, so it is better to maintain a perfect state to meet the enemy.

The next day, the Bei'an army left Chongming Road and continued to advance.

Not far away, I suddenly saw a group of people running towards this side from the front in a panic.

Most of these people are dusty and ragged, and they seem to have encountered something terrible.

After discovering the Bei'an Army, these Eastern Japanese were even more frightened.

They stopped, as if they didn't dare to run back, and were at a loss for a while, many of them covered their faces and began to cry.

Su Yuan sent someone to inquire, and the interpreter came back to report after a while.

"My lord, these people are all local people in Naijing, and they are running now to escape disaster."

"Escape?"

"Yes. Listening to them, it seems that a monster appeared in Nai Jing."

"..."

Hearing this, Su Yuan glanced at Qianle Lingmeng, who was talking to a fleeing woman himself.

"Did you see the snake man? Really?"

Kamichile Reimu asked the woman in front of her, who nodded while weeping.

"I saw it...it was terrible...we dare not stay in Naijing anymore..."

"Where's Nai Jing's soldiers, didn't they protect you?"

"The soldiers seem to have gone to the Daming Mansion, they... I don't know..."

The woman spoke incoherently, Shenqianle Lingmeng asked several times, but did not get any more information.

But someone nearby saw her attire and asked in surprise, "Are you a witch?"

"I'm."

"Then you...why are you with Zhou people? Could it be that you are really like what the shogunate said..."

Faced with suspicious eyes, Shenqianle Lingmeng said calmly: "Yes. But this is for the people of Dongwa. The power of the shogunate alone cannot suppress the big snake."

"You traitor!" The man didn't care about Shenqianle Lingmeng's words at all, and became very agitated and irritable.

He picked up a stone from the ground and made an attacking gesture.

"Don't!" Shenqianle Lingmeng hurriedly stopped.

But it's too late.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, a bloody hole appeared on the man's forehead, and he collapsed weakly.

Kamichile Reimu turned her head to look, and the blond woman named "Tanya" shrugged at her.

Shenqianle Lingmeng felt sad, how could she not know that the Bei'an Army's policy is that as soon as the opponent makes an attack gesture, they must strike first.

This is what Su Yuan deliberately emphasized. There is no need to wait until the opponent hurts himself first before fighting back.Instead, when the opponent shows the intention of harming, immediately strike first, so that the opponent loses the ability to harm.

Knowing this, she wanted to stop the man from taking the stone, but it was still too late.

The people fleeing from Naijing were shocked when they saw this, and they fled in all directions.

Su Yuan let the army move on, leaving these people alone.

The closer to Nai Jing, the more refugees escaped.

The Bei'an army encountered three or four waves in total, and each wave had more and more people. In the last wave, thousands of people fled out together, and everyone looked extremely terrified.

It's really the performance you will have when you encounter a monster...

Not long after, Nai Jingcheng appeared within the line of sight of the Bei'an Army.

As the capital city of Eastern Japan, its city scale is not very large, and it is incomparable with the capital city, and it is about the same as Taiyuan, the capital city of Mozhou.

There should have been guards stationed in front of the city gate, but at this moment, there was no one there.

The city gate was also wide open, as if inviting the Bei'an army to enter.

"Is Naijing already in such a mess?" Su Yuan was very curious.

He thought he was going to fight a tough battle.The shogun of Naikyō is ready to defend, or spread out, to fight in front of the city.

It turned out that the city was unguarded, and there were no fortifications on the city walls, not even a soldier standing guard.

Qi Jiguang said: "Your Majesty, there may be chaos in the city of Naijing, but it may also be the enemy's trick to lure troops. In case there is an ambush, it is better to send someone to investigate first."

"Makes sense."

Su Yuan didn't rush forward, he first asked a few masters of the rivers and lakes to climb the city wall to check the situation.

For Jianghu masters, inquiring is the best thing.Ordinary soldiers have to rely on ladders to climb the city wall, and they only need light work.

Three or four innate masters performed lightness kung fu, stepped on the city wall with one leap, and swam up like a gecko after a few thumps.

After occupying the commanding heights, several people looked into the city to see whether there was an ambush at a glance.

After a while, several people went down the city wall and came back to report.

"My lord, I didn't find that the enemy had ambushes... Instead, there are fires burning everywhere in the city!"

"Fire?"

"Yes, especially near a palace, where there seems to be a bloody battle going on, and there are many corpses."

"It's the Daming Palace!" Shenqianle Reimu exclaimed, "There is only one palace in Naijing City, and that is the Daming Palace. Something must have happened!"

"Enter the city!"

Su Yuan didn't say a word at this time, summoned a large number of soldiers, and entered the city in an orderly manner.

When the city was undefended, the army entered Naiking very easily.

As soon as he entered, the situation was just like what several masters said, many houses were set ablaze, the flames were burning, and some people even cried and howled.

Su Yuan wanted to know what happened, and ordered the army to go straight to the Daming Palace along the street.

The closer you get, the more corpses there are on the ground.

Shenqianle Lingmeng discovered that most of these corpses belonged to soldiers of the shogunate, and the injuries on many of them did not seem to be made by humans.

"Yachi Orochi...it's it, it's the one that started the war with the shogunate soldiers!"

Hearing this, Su Yuan thought it would be good.

The snipe and the clam fight each other for the fisherman's benefit. Anyway, the monster Orochi and the shogun are his enemies. Now the two sides are fighting first and depleting each other's strength. Naturally, he is happy to see it.

But rather than simply being a fisherman, he wanted to see how the two sides fought, so he urged the army to speed up.

……

Daming Palace.

an hour ago.

Shangmiya Shingen sits here and asks all the ashigaru summoned to guard near the palace gate.

He issued an order, as long as those ninjas or monster snakes appear, all soldiers don't need to say anything, they all attack immediately!

That's right, he Shanggong Shingen won't be a monster's vassal!Everything he has obtained today was obtained through his unremitting struggle... Now a monster that has been sleeping for hundreds of years wakes up and wants him to hand over everything?how can that be!

He completely ignored Mori's warning and insisted on going to war with Orochi.He didn't think he was acting like a reckless man, because he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands.

only……

After Yamata no Orochi came up from the ground, when he knew that the enemy was in the Daming Palace, he walked directly here.

It didn't hide its figure, and it appeared with that monster-like face along the way.This caused all the people who saw it on the street to fall into extreme panic, which directly triggered a wave of panic.

Most of the people fled frantically, and some of them were brave enough to attack Yamata no Orochi with wooden sticks, but they were killed by the Koga ninjas before they got close.

They walked all the way to the Daming Palace, killing and injuring hundreds of people.Yamata no Orochi didn't make a move, I don't know if it was disdain or laziness.It just walked silently, and only opened its mouth slowly when it saw the soldiers waiting outside the Daming Palace.

"Just because you... want to stop me?"

Its voice was as terrifying as it looked, muffled and scratchy.

Even if the ashigaru guards knew about Orochi in advance, seeing such a monster with their own eyes would inevitably be frightening.

"Monster! You don't want to get close to the general, let's go together and kill him!!"

A samurai loyal to Uemiya Shingen shouted, drew his samurai sword and rushed out first.

Someone took the lead, and the other soldiers also cheered up. They told themselves in their hearts: Yes, this snake-man monster looks terrible, but with so many people, one person can chop it into mud with one knife, right?There is nothing to be afraid of!

Many people are still fantasizing: If I slashed and killed this big snake monster, not only would I get an incomparably huge reward, but my name would even go down in history...

Heroes who slay monsters!

How resounding and sweet this name is.

"kill!!!!!"

The thousand azures maintained their formation and rushed towards Yamata no Orochi, who stood there motionless with an indifferent expression.

when!
When the samurai sword fell on its scales, there was a crisp sound first, and then there was a "click", the blade broke, and only a shallow scratch was left on the scales.

"How……"

The samurai who made the cut was stunned, and then the soldiers behind caught up.Swords, guns, sticks, and several weapons hit Yamata no Orochi.

Yamata no Orochi remained motionless, allowing everyone to attack... But the soldiers in front slashed and stabbed more than a dozen times, and their physical strength was severely exhausted, but when they found that the monster they attacked was unharmed, their hearts suddenly collapsed.

"The scales of this monster are too thick! It can't be pierced!"

"Damn! What should I do?!"

"Use a hammer! Hit him!"

"Everyone cut its neck hard together!!"

Everyone offers advice, but no one can harm Yamata no Orochi.Its scales cover the whole body, and they rise and fall with breathing, so it is extremely difficult to hit the same position multiple times.

This caused thousands of people to surround the Yamata no Orochi in the middle, and slashed wildly, but failed to hurt the latter.

Yamata no Orochi took hundreds of knives before saying: "I am so disappointed...you... are too weak..."

There was no anger in its tone, only disappointment.

"The weak... are not worthy... to live..."

After uttering the last word, Yamata no Orochi raised his palm.

The scales on its arm suddenly shifted, concentrated, and condensed into a strange long thorn.This is its weapon. It holds the long thorn and takes a step forward.

air!
Puff puff puff puff...!
Like candied haws, dozens of soldiers in front of it were stabbed through their abdomens and died instantly!
