The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1672 This is how we, the Prince of Yanping, do things!
Kyushu, Kagoshima

On a rugged mountain path shrouded in mist, a samurai rode his horse, the banner of the Shimazu clan flying behind him.

Behind him were a large number of foot soldiers and conscripted serfs.
Faced with the sudden attack on the Zheng family, the retainers of the Shimazu clan were also extremely angry.
After all, you want money, so just say so. It's not like we're not going to give it to you. But you came up here and started fighting, which is a bit rude!

However, the Zheng family wanted to use this opportunity to completely subdue the disloyal Japanese pirate daimyo.

After all, Kyushu Island was an important "base" for the Yanping Prince's Mansion, as most of their military equipment and provisions were supplied from there.

It is conceivable that once Kyushu Island stops transporting supplies, how can Yizhou alone fight against the Manchus?

Therefore, Kyushu cannot be out of control, and the Satsuma Domain must be attacked; this is the bottom line!

"Enemy, enemy!"

Through the mist, when the scout spotted the enormous banner of the Prince of Yanping's residence, he immediately roared.
Before he could ride back, he saw Zhang Cheng raise his bow and arrow at a 40-50 degree angle.
"call out!"

The arrow pierced the sky, striking the opponent directly through the back of the neck.

"Snapped!"

His body collapsed limply to the ground, while the scout fell heavily to the ground as well.
"Be on guard! Be on guard!"

He drew his katana and roared, and the leader of the Japanese pirates immediately roared back.

Upon hearing this, the panicked foot soldiers immediately looked around warily.

But it was all white, and they couldn't see anything at all. After all, in this resource-scarce place, rice was for the nobility, and they could only add kelp and eat salted fish.
"Da da da!"

The sound of galloping warhorses rang out, and just as everyone looked ahead, a young man in armor raised his saber and roared, "Kill!"

"Nani?"

Turning his head in disbelief, the warrior saw Zhang Cheng, alone and charging towards them.
"Are you crazy? Have you gone mad?"

The warrior froze, staring at Zhang Cheng, who was all alone.

But before he could mount his horse forward, Zhang Cheng had already swung his horse-slaying saber in a wide arc.
"puff!"

The two horses collided, and Zhang Cheng's saber severed the other's head, then he galloped forward.

The warriors were stunned as they watched Zhang Cheng rush in. Did the Zheng family's "warriors" really not treat them like human beings?

But just as the shrill roar rang out, four or five warriors rushed forward.

But at the very moment the two crossed paths, Zhang Cheng swiftly swung his broadsword.
As the samurai fell one after another, the Japanese pirates leading the troops sensed something was wrong, because this man was acting strangely!
Charging into the enemy ranks, Zhang Cheng roared and immediately grabbed the hilt of his sword, brandishing it.
"Crash!"

Blood spread from all around, and many people were immediately filled with fear upon feeling the rain of blood.
Just then, Krieg, who had been awakened, rushed out from the forests on both sides.

Swinging their entrenching tools, over a hundred Kriegs launched a charge.

Just as roars echoed through the valley, Lin Qing, on the outskirts, couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't the signal been sent yet?"

Just as Lin Qing was thinking this, the sound of a signal arrow rang out.

"Kill them, brothers!"

Upon hearing the sound of the signal arrow, Lin Qing immediately raised his knife and roared in anger.

But just as the eight hundred men rushed into the valley, severed limbs and broken pieces were already flying everywhere.
Staring at Zhang Cheng, who was wreaking havoc in the distance, Lin Qing's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Is this even human?"

"kill!"

Zhang Cheng's broadsword slashed across a warrior's shoulder, leaving his face covered in blood, but his pupils remained icy cold.
The warrior roared in anger as he stared at Zhang Cheng, but before he could even swing his spear, Zhang Cheng cleaved it in two.
Amidst the white mist, blood permeated the air, resembling a living hell.

Sunlight streamed through the valley, gradually dispelling the thick fog.

The warhorse stood alone, neighing as if trying to awaken its master.
But by the time Lin Qing and the others came to their senses, there were no Japanese pirates left standing there.
"Cheng-ge'er, are you alright?"

She quickly approached Zhang Cheng, and when Lin Qing looked at him, she couldn't help but swallow hard.

Turning his head, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "I'm fine, Uncle Lin, let's go fight Makizaki!"

Nodding to Zhang Cheng, Lin Qing quickly followed suit, saying, "Yes, beat Makizaki!"

Makurazaki Castle, its bustling port a scene of vibrant activity.
The Zheng family was not affected in any way by the war between the Zheng family and the Satsuma Domain.
After all, what business was it of theirs if the Shimazu family fought the Zheng family?
Moreover, this is the Satsuma Domain. Even if the Zheng family is strong, they couldn't possibly have won this battle so quickly, right?

Could it be that the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain are useless?
"kill!"

A hysterical roar echoed through the sky, and the entire Makurazaki Castle began to descend into chaos.
When the merchants in the port heard the commotion, they immediately turned their heads in confusion.
But at that moment, the charging cavalrymen began slashing with their sharp blades.

Looking at the Zheng family, who made no distinction between friend and foe, many merchants became terrified.
The two thousand men dispatched this morning were Makuzaki's last remaining military force; no one could stop them.
Leading Krieg to block the city gate, Zhang Cheng roared, "If we don't sheath our swords for three days, everything will belong to you! Kill!"

"Kill!"

With a roar, the soldiers who had stormed into Makurazaki Castle had gone completely mad.

After all, in this world, what soldiers like to hear most is "no sheathing of the sword".
Moreover, this is Satsuma Domain territory, so any losses they suffer have nothing to do with them!
"It's one of us! It's one of us! Don't kill me!"

Upon seeing the Zheng family soldiers before him, a merchant immediately knelt on the ground and shouted,

Looking at the other man, the soldier noticed his rat-tail braid and immediately chopped it off, saying, "Go to hell, you own people!"

"Chop them all up! Chop them all up! Whether they are Japanese pirates or anyone else, kill them all if they don't kneel down!"

Mounted on his warhorse, Zhang Cheng held a black horse-slaying saber in his hand, his eyes filled with savagery.

Because he wanted to use Makurazaki Castle's blood to awaken Krieg.
With 800 kriegs in hand, even if Nurhaci were to rise from his coffin, Zhang Cheng could easily shove his head back down.
"This cannot be done! Your Yanping Prince's Mansion cannot do this!"

As they watched their goods being unloaded from the ship, several merchants with pigtails shouted anxiously.

Looking at their expressions, Zhang Cheng sneered, "This can't be! This is how the Yanping Prince's Mansion does things! Execute them!"

Pointing at the businessmen, Zhang Cheng roared angrily.

Because nowadays, the businessmen who come here are hardly benevolent people.

Zheng Jia may allow these people to betray him, but he will not allow it!

"We've struck it rich, Cheng-ge! We've struck it rich! Hahaha!"

Lin Qing happily approached Zhang Cheng, and couldn't help but feel excited.
"Uncle Lin, keep the money safe. The rest is for the general!"

When Zhang Cheng spoke to Lin Qing, he had no intention of keeping it to himself, as it wouldn't be a good thing for him!

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Lin Qing seemed to realize something and immediately nodded, saying, "Yes, you're right!"

South Samoa
In the castle tower,

Jiang Sheng was waiting for news, because he had tried more than once to bring Zhang Cheng back.
After all, it's a bit risky for 800 men to fight 2,000, especially when it's a siege!
Just then, a messenger ran in shouting, "General, Makurazaki has been captured! Commander Zhang also took the opportunity to destroy the Shimazu clan's warships in the port!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng abruptly stood up and exclaimed, "What?"
