At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 175 Chapter 171

dang dang dang...

In the silent night sky, there was a sudden piercing sound of a gong.

Wang Da desperately beat the gong in his hand, and suddenly...

"Stop knocking!"

In the darkness, many people suddenly appeared, the one in the lead knocked the gong in Wang Da's hand to the ground with a slap.

The sound of the gong stopped abruptly, and the night sky once again fell into a deathly silence.

The two brothers of the Wang family were trembling with fright. It turned out that the Japanese pirates had already landed...

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"what?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!"

Wang Da and Wang Er looked at each other, they were very puzzled, didn't they heard that the Japanese pirates were extremely cruel, how could these few people they met today let him survive?
The big boats on the sea were already approaching the beach, and then, light boats washed up on the beach one by one along the tide.

Wang Da and Wang Er were frightened out of their wits, and quickly scrambled and slipped away.

The people on the boat began to gather, and the most capable lieutenant under Shen Lang, Shi Heng, walked in the front.

After half a year, he finally set foot on the land of Daming again.

In the past six months, he led the original 300 people to fight around the sea.

They are wandering overseas, surviving in the storm, and fighting the enemy with their lives. They are facing life and death all the time, but all of them stick to a belief in their hearts.

Take the courage to endure the humiliation, and wash away the sins on your body!
During this period, some people had the idea of ​​escaping, drifted overseas, and became a real pirate.

However, their home is still in Daming, and their roots are still in Daming.

In the end, no one left.

They would rather die in battle, and only hope that one day they can return to Daming in a legitimate way.

The day has finally come!

The two teams matched the signal with torches, and then Shi Heng stepped forward.

A voice came from the opposite side: "The emperor ordered Shi Heng to be appointed as the general of Pingwo. He will enter Nanjing City according to the plan and find out the people in the city. If he encounters resistance, he can be killed on the spot!"

Shi Heng knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

"Chen Shiheng leads the order!"

Taking advantage of the darkness, the vanguard team of 300 people, led by Shi Heng, rushed towards Nanjing City.

About two hours later, before dawn, hundreds of ships appeared on the sea again.

These ships, big and small, of all kinds, rushed towards the land.

The most eye-catching one is a thousand-material treasure ship in the middle of the team, with a three-headed dragon hanging on the sail.

This ship has a lot of background, it is a supply ship in Zheng He's seventh voyage to the West.

Later, the imperial court banned many treasure ships, and many treasure ships were put on hold. This ship was targeted by a merchant in Fuzhou. He bought the relevant officials with money and put it under his own name. After several changes of hands, it finally fell into Shen Lang's hands.

From then on, the ship was renamed Three-headed Jiao, representing Shen Lang's appearance.

About two or three miles from the coast, the Santoujiao dropped anchor, and dozens of small boats carrying Japanese pirates began to land.

These ragged people are all tanned or dressed up as Japanese people. There are also a few Luzon people occasionally, and more are Han Chinese.

These people are a collection of various skin colors, glued together because of interests.

They traveled across the ocean, had seen all kinds of strong winds and waves, and had long looked down on life and death. At this time, on the landing boat, they were sharpening their knives, and their eyes flashed greed.

The leader is none other than Shen Lang's most ruthless person, Kojima Yuzo.

This person was originally a samurai, but because the head of the family lost power, he was forced to leave the mainland of Japan and began to wander.

Gradually, he made some fame by relying on a knife to face the wind and fall flowers, and was favored by Shen Lang and recruited to his subordinates.

Shi Heng can be Shen Lang's most proud deputy, and Kojima Yuzo is the best thug.

The middle of his head was shaved bald, and the hair on both sides was tied on top of the bald head, forming a standard Japanese-style bun.There are two samurai swords on his waist, one long and one short, and those who are on the same boat as him are all true Japanese who follow him.

Japanese pirates can be divided into real Japanese and fake Japanese. Some desperadoes went out to sea, in order to hide their original identities, or because they were afraid that they would be robbed overseas and be found out by the court, so they revealed their identities and made their family members He suffered a disaster, so he changed his face.

What's more, the Japanese are generally known for their bravery and ruthlessness, and they kill people like hemp. As a Japanese, it is easier to gain a foothold overseas.

Shen Lang has more than [-] people under his command, of which there are only five or six thousand real Japanese, and the rest are all fake Japanese, that is, Han Chinese.

This time, Kojima Yuzo brought a lot of real Japanese, because this time it was no longer a small fight, but went straight to Beijing.

There, there are countless gold and silver and goods.

The most important thing is that through this action, Daming may be divided into two, Shen Lang will become the founding hero of the Southern Dynasty, and he will also be promoted to a noble, from a Japanese pirate to a general of the new court .

Such an opportunity is simply rare, how can we miss it?

At this time, the sky had begun to appear, the night gradually receded, and the surroundings became hazy.

More than [-] people landed one after another, assembled, and then set off in a mighty way.

The checkpoints in Taizhou and Yangzhou along the way have already been opened, and this road will be unimpeded, and it will arrive in Nanjing in two days.

Then, not long after they walked out, they heard a burst of flames behind them, and at the same time, there was a huge explosion.

A Japanese trotted forward and said in Japanese, "Mr. Xiaodao, there is an ambush by the Ming army on the shore..."

Kojima Yuzo hurriedly turned around to check, and saw under the reflection of Chen Hui, a group of Ming soldiers appeared by the sea and were bombing his own ship!

There is a Ming army?
Instead of showing timidity, he became excited.

Over the years, he has also fought against the Ming army. He thought that the fighting power of the regular army of the Ming Dynasty should not be underestimated, but he did not expect that most of the time, as long as he rushed forward regardless of his own safety, the opponent would often throw away his armor and flee without fighting. , followed by chasing and killing all the way, which was extremely enjoyable.

Therefore, he almost despises the Ming army.

It is unimaginable that the dignified regular army of the Ming Dynasty is like paper!
Therefore, seeing the Ming army setting up an ambush, he didn't back down, but felt his blood boil.

I once remembered that just two months ago, Kojima Yuzo led people to attack Quanzhou and fought with the Ming army who rushed over. Then, the Ming army collapsed at the touch of a touch, and Kojima led his team to chase and kill for more than ten miles. It is evocative.

I saw him staring at the Ming army by the sea, his eyes full of greed.

"Today, three hundred cuts!"

From his body, there was a strong murderous aura.

Everyone's heart trembled, and they looked at Kojima Yuzo with admiration in their eyes.

It is said that since Kojima Yuzo went to sea, he has made a living by killing. Whenever he cut off a head with a knife, he would carve a mark on the scabbard. Now the sheath is densely packed with two hundred and three lines. Three hundred cuts means that this time he will kill hundreds of people with his own hands!

At this time, the morning glow had already appeared on the sea level, and the sky began to brighten.

Kojima Yuzo has already brought people back, he can see clearly that there are at most 3000 people on the other side.

He didn't understand why he wanted to blow up his own boat?

Could it be...worried that he would run away?

What a joke!

Don't say that the goal this time is to capture Nanjing. Even if it is an ordinary plunder, it is not certain who will escape when encountering the Ming army!

Since you have come to your door yourself, don't blame me for being rude. Before you enter Nanjing, use your heads as a sacrificial knife!

Finally, the two teams stood together facing each other.

Twenty-five thousand Japanese pirates and three thousand Ming soldiers.

Kojima Yuzo ran from the front to the back, panting heavily, but was extremely happy in his heart.

However, he saw the fully armed Ming army, each holding a strange firecracker in their hands, which made his eyes flash a little different brilliance, after all, the firecracker is quite powerful Yes, it is frightening.

However, it was just a little apprehensive.

Kojima Yuzo tightly held the handle of the knife in his hand, and the Japanese pirates behind him grinned, eager to try.

They fought, and there was no lineup to speak of, they just swarmed up.

Because they are a group of interests bonded together, sometimes scattered like scattered sand, sometimes gathered together to plunder, so there is no need to cooperate at all, they rush forward in one go, after a chaotic battle, either the opponent collapses, or they themselves collapse , anyway, it's just going straight to the front, whoever is timid first will lose.

His eyes were full of desire to kill, he licked his lips, let out a beast-like roar, and took the lead in charging.

There are no tricks, and there is no need to report Gao's name, they are just a group of thieves, just here to rob.

Kojima Yusan charged, and the Japanese pirates behind him all went crazy, with red eyes, like tigers descending downhill, raising their knives one after another, and rushed towards the Ming army.

More than [-] people rushed in like a tide, and the huge sense of oppression made people breathless.

"kill!"

"rush!"

In their eyes, the mere three thousand Ming army is just an appetizer.

Even if these people are holding firecrackers, it will not help.

Because they have also seen firecrackers, they do have certain power, but they are very limited.

The biggest problem is ammunition loading, which is extremely cumbersome. If you are fighting hand-to-hand, after you finish shooting, no one will give you a chance to reload the next round of ammunition.

Coupled with the high winds and strong waves in the sea, the humid air, gunpowder is prone to failure. Therefore, Japanese pirates basically prefer to use knives, even if they have the opportunity to get firecrackers, they are not willing to use them.

Therefore, when the Ming army raised the firecracker in his hand and pointed the black muzzle at himself, Yuzo Kojima still had a disdainful smile on his lips.

The sword technique he is best at is called Yingfengluohuazhan, which shows how fast he can strike.

In fact, not only is he fast with his sword, but his movement is also surprisingly fast.

Years of fighting made him completely confident in avoiding firecrackers.

With their backs against the sea, the Ming army had no way to retreat.

As long as you avoid the first round of shooting and stay close, no matter how many Ming troops come, you will not let yourself be slaughtered!
Now the distance between the two teams is very close, but only a few dozen steps, and if they sprint with all their strength, it will take the blink of an eye.

His eyes had turned blood red, as if a cavity of blood was about to rush out.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Finally, the Ming army opened fire.

Although Kojima Yuzo was sprinting with all his strength, his eyes were fixed on every move of the Ming army.

At the moment when the firecracker sounded, he suddenly rolled forward, and then continued to rush forward.

The whole movement is smooth and flowing, as if it has been rehearsed in advance.

Others were not so lucky. In the first round of shooting, dozens of people fell down.

However, the distance between the two armies was shortened again, and the distance between the front line was only a dozen steps...

Kojima Yuzo had even seen the expression on the opponent's face. In his prediction, the Ming army would definitely panic when he saw himself rushing in front of him, and he might even drop the firecracker and run for his life on his own.

But, it seems... It's not quite the same as I imagined...

All the Ming soldiers were expressionless. After the first round, they suddenly changed their formation. The front row retreated, and the back row stepped forward. Oncoming was another row of black muzzles.

not good!

As soon as this idea appeared, Kojima Yuzo's body fell to the ground reflexively.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The dense gunfire sounded again, and he could even feel a few bullets flying past his body...

The Japanese pirates had just survived the first round of attacks and were about to go on a killing spree, but were caught off guard by the second round of attacks. All of a sudden, hundreds of people were shot and fell to the ground.

Kojima Yuzo's mind went blank, before he could figure out what happened, the gunfire rang out again!
boom!
boom!
boom!
Another round of shooting, this time, the Japanese pirates suffered even more heavy losses.

However, it's not over yet!

boom!
boom!
boom!
The familiar gunshot sounded again, followed by the howls of Japanese pirates.

Yuzo Kojima was going crazy, the gunfire was so dense that there was no pause, how could he fight?
And all he can do now is lie on the ground and bury his head in the sand.

Boom!

Boom!

There was constant gunfire in the Ming army formation, mixed with bursts of explosions from time to time, like harvesting wheat, harvesting the lives of Japanese pirates one after another.

Kojima Yuzo was almost desperate, why did he pull out the cannon?

The troops of more than 2 people were so beaten that they had no power to fight back, and they didn't even touch a hair of the Ming army.

When they fight on weekdays, they just rush forward in a swarm. Obviously, this tactic is not easy to use today.

Going forward now is tantamount to dying.

Finally, after losing more than half, the Japanese pirates chose to escape.

However, the Ming army was not prepared to let them go.

Only a burst of sharp whistles sounded, and then the Ming army began to charge the Japanese pirates.

Kojima Yuzo seemed to see hope, jumped up from the ground, roared in Japanese, and then raised his knife to kill the Ming army.

This sentence means that they have no ammunition, everyone!
Because the Ming army used firecrackers, although for some reason, this kind of firecrackers can be fired continuously, but if it is a close combat, this huge advantage will disappear immediately.

Sure enough, these words had an effect, especially those true wah who followed Yuzo Kojima, stopped running away one after another, turned around, and rushed towards the Ming army formation.

Kojima Yuzo was the closest to the Ming army, so he raised his sword and swept across, beheading a Ming army.

This move is his famous stunt, drawing his sword and chopping flowers.

Over the years, he has killed countless people with this trick of "Falling Blossom Slash". Just after going to sea, there are more than [-] people counted.

Today, the achievement of [-] cuts must be achieved!
