Chapter 366 The Final Battle
The assassin came from Matsuki Yoshiko's family.
As a small powerful family in Japan, the Matsuki family also employed several assassins, who were the predecessors of what later became known as ninjas.
"Where's the smoke bomb?"
"What about invisibility?"
In the smoke, Jiang Qingzhi looked at the assassin in confusion as he staggered back, holding his chest.
Mo Zhan appeared outside the toilet at some point, and before he could make a move, the assassin fell to the ground.
"It stinks!"
On the beam of the toilet, Sun Chonglou covered his nose and shouted.
He jumped down and looked curiously at the assassin lying on the ground with his chest heaving. "Is this the ninja that Master was talking about?"
Sun Chonglou searched them roughly and looked at the two rice balls with disappointment, "Master, there is nothing like what you said."
"Well... maybe I remembered it wrongly."
Jiang Qingzhi looked at the homemade pistol in his hand and sighed, "I now have a life-saving weapon."
But even a flintlock pistol still has many problems. For example, unless it is loaded in advance, it is no more useful than a stick in an emergency.
But there is a way, that is to install one every day.
The gunpowder will get damp, so just replace it the next day.
Jiang Qingzhi found a solution and was in a good mood.
Mo Zhan called over a dozen soldiers who were responsible for keeping an eye on the gentry and asked them to identify the assassin.
"He is an attendant who came with Cao Jin."
"Cao Jin?"
"I recognize him." Sun Chonglou said, "Young Master, he is the one who praised you the most before."
Hey!
Jiang Qingzhi remembered that the man was sitting diagonally opposite him.
"Jiang Qingzhi hasn't come back yet."
Cao Jin whispered.
"I must have succeeded." Huang Duo's eyes were filled with unconcealable pride.
"Let them send a signal?"
"hold on."
"I can't wait any longer."
"Aren't you going to Nanjing? The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the Confucius Temple, the Qinhuai River... it's so nice that you won't want to leave."
"Isn't the Qingxiu Temple in Haimenwei, Dongshan, good?"
"somebody is coming."
The two of them sat down, raised their glasses to each other, and pretended to drink.
At this time, Chen Bao came over and said, "My Lord is not very good at drinking, so please help yourself."
Just as Chen Bo was about to raise his glass to host the event, he saw a gentleman stand up and said, "Then we will take our leave."
"Farewell."
Chen Bo stood there awkwardly with his wine glass in hand.
With Jiang Qingzhi not around, who the hell has the time to entertain a warrior!
Cao Jin and the other man walked side by side. They had not gone far when several soldiers appeared in front of them.
Chen Bao smiled and said, "Wait a minute, gentlemen."
Cao Jin was startled, "What's going on?"
Chen Bao said, "Just now, the brothers were carrying the supplies for the soldiers and found a jar of copper coins. I wonder which of you two has made a mistake. Please go and have a look."
Cao Jin and Huang Duo looked at each other. A hint of fear suddenly flashed in Huang Duo's eyes. Cao Jin felt it and forced a smile, "This old man... this old man... was forced by them, they forced me..."
The two of them took him to the back, where Jiang Qingzhi sat under the eaves drinking tea, while Sun Chonglou was playing with a few beautiful conch shells beside him, one of which was bigger than his hand.
Pfft!
Cao Jin knelt down.
Huang Duo wanted to deny it, but seeing this, he had no choice but to kneel down.
Jiang Qingzhi shook off the ashes from his cigarette. "I am not surprised by the assassination. I just want to ask, you two colluded with the Japanese pirates and killed your neighbors... Don't you feel guilty? Won't you have nightmares at night?"
In his previous life, whenever he saw traitors in movies and TV, he would always wonder what these people were thinking.
Cao Jin lowered his head, "I did it for money."
"Not enough money?" Xu Wei asked.
"enough."
Huang Duo laughed bitterly and said, "But who would complain about having too much money?"
Cao Jin's body was shaking. "I also have nightmares, but ever since I led the way for the pirates and sold the stolen goods, I can't help myself."
"It's a business with no capital. If you do it once, you will make a profit for nothing. Once I tasted the sweetness, I couldn't stop. Sometimes I would think about those neighbors who died. At first I felt a little guilty, but later... Later I felt that those people had nothing to do with me, so they died..."
Jiang Qingzhi looked at Huang Duo, "What about you?"
Huang Duo raised his head and said calmly: "Since we have been discovered, I think we two will die. Just kill us. Why ask these questions?"
"I like tough guys like this the most." Jiang Qingzhi praised, "Come here, punish this tough guy."
It took only a minute for Huang Duo to urinate. "I am willing to confess. All I care about is money, only money!"
"So for the sake of money, you dared to lead the Japanese pirates to plunder the village, and watched those Japanese pirates slaughter the people and were secretly happy?" Jiang Qingzhi roared: "Torture him and kill him for me!"
"what!"
Cao Jin slumped to the ground with a scream, water spreading from his crotch to form a stream at his calves...
In the evening, under the setting sun.
Dozens of large and small ships appeared near the mouth of Jiaojiang River.
Zhang Jun was not far away from Matsugi Yoshiko, and he stared at Yamauchi Jiro.
It was this man who led the Japanese pirates to massacre his village. All his family members were killed. Only he escaped death at his uncle's house at the time. He was brought back by the Japanese pirates because he was wearing Confucian clothes.
With the setting sun shining on the horizon, the entire Jiaojiang River looks magnificent.
As night fell, Matsuki Yoshiko ordered everyone to eat dry food.
Zhang Jun ate the rice ball greedily. He quietly took out a piece of dried meat, which he bought when he landed last time.
He needs strength.
You need strength to kill someone.
He chewed the jerky hard and tears started streaming down his face without him noticing.
Suddenly, torches lit up on the shore, swayed three times to the left and right, and then went out.
"Good! Cao Jin and his team succeeded."
Yamauchi Jiro said excitedly: "Chief, it's time to take action."
"The traitor will open the city gates and then charge in. Remember, don't stop after you charge in. Go straight to the commander's office and capture all the Ming army generals in one fell swoop."
Because she had no children, Matsuki Yoshiko was raised as a boy since she was a child. Her every move was very masculine, except for her shrill voice, which could not be changed.
"A snake cannot survive without a head. Without its generals, the remaining Ming troops are just lambs to be slaughtered."
Matsuki Ryoko waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "Go ashore!"
She has more than 3,000 Japanese pirates under her command. Although they are called more than 3,000, only about 2,000 can actually go into battle. Last time, 30% of them were killed in Yuanmushan. This time, Matsuki Yoshiko left some people to guard the old nest, and the rest of them went out in full force.
Two thousand Japanese pirates quietly approached the Acropolis.
At this moment, dozens of soldiers on the Acropolis looked listless, with flags drooping. Matsuki Yoshiko pointed at the city gate, and several Japanese pirates quietly moved in.
After an unknown amount of time, the city gate slowly opened.
Someone on the top of the city wall shouted, "Who?"
Matsugi Yoshiko was overjoyed, drew her sword and shouted, "Kill them!"
"Onboard!"
The Japanese pirates rushed forward cheering.
The city gate was opened and the Japanese pirates rushed in smoothly.
"Go to the commander's office!" Yamauchi Jiro shouted.
The main road is right before entering the city. Apart from the barking of dogs, the houses on both sides of the street are surprisingly quiet.
But a shout came from not far away, "The Japanese pirates are coming, run!"
Yamauchi Jiro was overjoyed, "Kill!"
The Japanese pirates swarmed in.
They went straight to the commander's office.
After running for an unknown amount of time, when he saw the commander's office, Yamauchi Jiro suddenly stopped.
He heard something.
Puff puff!
With the sound of orderly footsteps, teams of Ming Dynasty soldiers turned around the street corner on the left.
"Array up!"
Chen Bo shouted loudly.
He was satisfied watching his men stop in an orderly manner, thinking that the Lord was indeed amazing. In just half a month, he had trained his men to such a state. If they were placed among the southern guards, they could be called elite.
Following this uncle, I think I will be able to dominate the world!
Chen Bo's heart was burning with anxiety, and he wished he could lead his troops to charge forward immediately.
There were spears everywhere, and pairs of eyes flickered faintly in the darkness.
——Don’t be afraid, the Japanese pirates are also human beings, just the ordinary people you see in your daily life.
The breathing gradually calmed down.
"This is a trap." Yamauchi Jiro shouted, "Turn back!"
The Japanese pirates turned around and were about to retreat.
The sound of horse hooves thundered behind him.
Torches lit up the long street. Under the big banner, Jiang Qingzhi looked at the Japanese pirates gathered together and said, "It's another night of killing!"
"Look at the mountain of corpses outside the city. Don't think you can survive by surrendering. The one on the other side is a murderer who will kill us without blinking an eye. He will kill us all and pile our corpses into a mountain. If you don't want to die, follow me and kill your way out of the city! Kill!"
Jiro Yamauchi decisively launched a counterattack.
"Shoot!" In the rain of arrows, Jiang Qingzhi drew out his long sword, took a deep breath, and called out, "All troops, attack!"
"Master Bo has given the order, the entire army shall attack!"
"kill!"
Archers appeared on the roofs of both sides. They shot the Japanese pirates easily from their high position. More infantrymen poured out from both sides of the street, and cavalry immediately followed suit.
"kill!"
Chen Bo and his men rushed over from behind the Japanese pirates.
He didn't notice that he had forgotten his fear and used all his strength when swinging his sword. When the Japanese pirates died one by one under his sword, Chen Bo felt a surge of blood in his chest and he raised his sword and shouted.
"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"
"Wan Sheng!"
The Ming army burst out with unprecedented courage. Half a month of training made them know how to obey orders, and simple tactical training made their sword and gun skills more concise and sharp...
Outside the city, after hearing the sound of cavalry hooves, Matsugi Yoshiko's face changed drastically, "Damn Cao Jin, retreat!"
"Chief, look, isn't that inside the mountain?" Zhang Jun said, pointing at the city gate.
what!
Matsugi Yoshiko was startled, and just as she turned around, she saw a flash of a knife. She dodged subconsciously, and then she felt a chill on her left arm, which was actually cut off by the knife.
"Zhang Jun!"
Matsuki Yoshiko retreated quickly, and the family guards around her rushed over. Zhang Jun turned around and ran, "Someone come! Matsuki Yoshiko is here!"
"Let's go!" Matsugi Yoshiko covered her broken arm and staggered towards the river.
When she got on a ship, she knelt on the deck and cried, "Jiang Qingzhi, I swear in the name of my ancestors that I will kill you! Otherwise, my soul will never be reincarnated after I die!"
People are strange. When they are full of courage, they will not care about life and death.
When one loses his courage, even if he is beheaded, he will kneel there and wait to be killed.
More than a thousand of the two thousand Japanese pirates were killed, and the rest all knelt down.
"Are these the Japanese pirates?"
The soldiers of Haimenwei were stunned.
"Haha!" The cavalrymen of the Huben Zuowei thought these people were just a bunch of bumpkins.
"What's that? We followed Lord Bo to fight against the iron cavalry of Altan Khan in the Nine Frontiers. That's the real battle."
"The leader of the Japanese pirates has been captured."
Jiro Yamauchi was brought in front of Jiang Qingzhi.
"Your Majesty!"
Sun Chonglou knocked Yamauchi Jiro down with one punch, then scratched his head and picked him up.
"Master, some Japanese pirates claim that they are our accomplices."
Ok?
Jiang Qingzhi was puzzled when several soldiers came with Zhang Jun.
"Did you receive the note, sir?" Zhang Jun asked.
"It's you?" Jiang Qingzhi asked, "What did you write?"
"Local big families, beware of assassinations!"
Jiang Qingzhi suddenly realized what was going on, and Yamauchi Jiro's eyes were red with anger, "So it was you, you bastard, who leaked the secret!"
Sun Chonglou knocked him down again with one punch, then lifted him up and made him kneel.
After asking about Zhang Jun's background, everyone sighed.
"What do you want?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
"I have only one request." Zhang Jun stared at Yamauchi Jiro, "Kill this beast with your own hands."
"it is good!"
Jiang Qingzhi admired this kind of person and asked someone to give him a long sword.
"Zhang Jun...ah!"
Zhang Jun continued to kill with his sword, and continued to do so even after Yamauchi Jiro died.
After an unknown amount of time, he knelt down, panting, and looked at the bloody mass and said, "Dad, Mom, little sister, I have avenged you."
"What a damn world!" someone sighed.
Jiang Qingzhi remained silent, and the cauldron in his mind began to speed up...
