Chapter 95 Unstoppable Courage

With the addition of Li Jie and others, the seriously injured people were quickly treated, and the dead in the village were also restrained and temporarily placed in another threshing ground. The villagers who had lost their relatives sat beside the bodies and cried bitterly, and were reluctant to leave for a long time.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Jie sighed, and his indignation towards the Japanese pirates deepened again.

It was getting late at this time. Laoli was asking people to find food and began to prepare hot water and food. After all, no matter how sad it is, the food still needs to be eaten, especially the elderly and children in the village, and there are so many wounded people. It is not enough not to eat.

But at this moment, Jiang Yan quietly approached Li Jie and whispered: "Li Banju, the situation is a bit wrong!"

Just now, Li Jie brought people to treat the wounded, but Jiang Yan disappeared. Li Jie didn't know where he went, and he didn't appear until now.

"What's wrong?" Li Jie asked absent-mindedly. A village was destroyed, and Tang He didn't know if he could catch up with the Japanese pirates. If the Japanese pirates were really allowed to escape, it would probably have a significant blow to their morale during this trip.

"According to past experience, Japanese pirates have been plundering after they got ashore. However, I carefully checked the situation in the village and found that the food and food in the village were not taken away much, but many villagers were killed and injured. This is not like the style of Japanese pirates!" Jiang Yun whispered again.

When Li Jie heard this, he became alert and immediately asked, "What do you mean is someone who pretended to be a Japanese pirate to commit the murder this time?"

"It's not like to pretend, but I think there are other Japanese pirates..."

Before Jiang Yan could finish his words, he suddenly heard the sound of warning drums from the two warships docked on the dock, attracting everyone's eyes to the sea.

"No! The Japanese pirates are coming again!" Only then did people find that on the sea not far away, a messy fleet was rushing towards them, and it was extremely fast, and was about to rush to the dock.

"Oh no, I'm trapped!" Jiang Yan yelled angrily when he saw this. He finally understood that the reason why the Japanese pirates went ashore was to attract the Ming Dynasty's naval army. Then there was another Japanese pirate ambushing nearby. This Japanese pirate was the main force of the looting.

"Li Ban reads and get on the warship!" Jiang Yan said, grabbing Li Jie's arm and running to the warship. After all, Tang He had already handed over Li Jie's safety to him before coming. If something happened to Li Jie, he might not be able to survive. Now the only way to live is to get on the warship. Although there are many Japanese pirates, they are all small boats. They still have the possibility of escaping when they get on the warship.

However, Li Jie shook Jiang Yan's hand away and said righteously: "This is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and behind it is my Ming people. If I escape at the last minute, what will I have to go back to Beijing?"

When Li Jie said this, he turned his head and looked at the navy soldiers around him, and immediately ordered: "Line in line! We will welcome the enemy! Today there will be enemies but not me, and I will be invincible!"

"Subordinate the order!" The hundred households who accompanied him immediately answered the order loudly. When Jiang Yun wanted to return to the ship just now, he and his subordinates did not move at all, because they knew that at the speed of the Japanese pirates, they would definitely go to the dock before they boarded the ship. At that time, they would have rushed to fight with the enemy in a short time, which would be even more unfavorable.

Li Jie also saw this above. In addition, there are so many people behind him. If he escapes, these people may face the massacre of Japanese pirates. He will not be able to overcome this in any way, so even if he has the chance to escape, he will never choose.

The navy under Fang Guan was still very elite. With the order of Baihu, the general flag and small flag below immediately formed a team and rushed to the dock to meet the enemy. At this time, the Japanese pirates had indeed rushed to the shore. There were very few soldiers left on the warships and could not stop the Japanese pirates' attack. In the end, they simply abandoned the ship and went ashore to join their own team.

"@#¥%#@%¥..." The first Japanese man had already jumped onto the dock, then waved his long sword and rushed towards the Ming army. These Japanese pirates were all outlaws, and they did not retreat even when they saw the Ming army. What's more, the number of the Ming army in front of him was not large, so they would not be taken seriously by the Japanese pirates.

"Fire!" However, at this time, the officials of the hundreds of households issued an order, and the musketeers who had already prepared were fired immediately. They still used old-fashioned mesh guns. After all, the flintlock guns are only available for the northern border troops. However, they have used paper-pack bullets, which has accelerated the shooting speed much, and there is no need to worry about the dampness of the gunpowder.

"Bang~" With the first round of volleys, the Japanese pirates who rushed in front suddenly tilted and fell to the ground and died, but the Japanese pirates behind were still clamoring to rush over.

There are not many musketeers under the Baihu family. They are equipped with two small flags, that is, twenty people. If they are divided into three teams, they will only shoot six or seven people each time. Although several Japanese pirates fell to the ground in each round of shooting, it is difficult to prevent Japanese pirates from landing.

As more and more Japanese pirates came ashore, these Japanese pirates rushed over under the command of the leader, and were about to fight with the navy. The muskets were useless at this time. After all, they could not fire in chaos, otherwise they might also hurt their companions.

"The spearman is in front, the sword and shield are in back, kill!" Baihu ordered again, and then the formation of the navy changed. The spearman raised his spear in front to resist the enemy. The sword and shield are ambushed behind the spearman, and he obeyed the orders of the marquis to come forward and fight with the Japanese pirates at any time. This is also the most commonly used tactic of the Ming army.

Hand-to-hand combat is always the most cruel. When the Japanese pirates collided with the Ming army, Li Jie in the rear was also a little unbearable, but now is not the time for women to be kind. He and Lao Li were organizing the men in the village, and at the same time distributed some machetes and farm tools to everyone. If the Ming army in front was defeated, they would rely on them to support him.

In addition, those uninjured women and the elderly were mobilized. They took the children and carried the wounded to the mountain behind the village. The roads on the mountain were rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the navy in front of them, if they could escape to the mountain, there might be a glimmer of life.

Originally, Li Jie still had a little hope in his heart. If the navy ahead could defeat the Japanese pirates, they would be safe. However, with more and more Japanese pirates ashore, there were rough estimates that there would be five or six hundred people, and they were all fearless. Even when facing well-trained naval soldiers, they would not be at all disadvantages.

Even as time went by, the navy soldiers gradually could not hold on. After all, the enemy was several times more powerful than them, and the attack was extremely fierce, which made their physical strength consume a lot. Many soldiers had already suffered casualties, and even the corners of the formation were loose, forcing them to retreat slowly.

"Li Bandu, the situation is critical. You guys are about to retreat to the mountain and go to meet the enemy!" At this moment, Jiang Yan, who had been guarding Li Jie, also said with a calm face. After that, he led his Jinyiwei to rush up.

Although the Jinyiwei is a military position, their responsibilities are more about collecting intelligence than killing the enemy. However, in this situation, Jiang Yan has no other choice, because he knows that if something happens to Li Jie, they will definitely not be able to escape death, so it is better to fight.

Looking at the backs of Jiang Yan and the others, Li Jie felt a little excited. He immediately took a hatchet from Lao Li forehand. Behind them was the only remaining young man in the village, with about a few dozen people. If it really didn't work, they would also join the battlefield to buy time for the retreating women and wounded men.

However, just when Li Jie was determined to die and wanted to live and die with the villagers, suddenly, Master Mu Shan led a few disciples to come out, and without saying hello to Li Jie and the others, he walked directly to the battlefield ahead.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Li Jie hurriedly stepped forward to stop them and said, "These monks are not young anymore, especially Master Mu, who looks like they are in their sixties or seventies. If they arrive on the battlefield, they will be dead."

"Kill the enemy!" Master Mu Yan said indifferently. Hearing his tone, he seemed to be talking about something very ordinary.

"Master, don't joke. With us young people here, you need to do something. You should retreat to the mountain as soon as possible!" Li Jie advised kindly.

However, what Li Jie didn't expect was that Master Mu Ran smiled slightly when he heard this, then reached out to take off his wide monk's robe and exposed the short clothes inside. Only then did Li Jie realize that the kind-eyed Master Mu Ran in front of him was not only tall, but also extremely strong. His muscles on his thick arms were tangled, and the rising blue veins represented the strength of the owner of the arm.

"Master, you..." Li Jie was also stunned at this time. He never expected that a monk from the other party would be so strong. Not to mention him, even some strong men in the army would be difficult to compare with Master Mu.

"Person Li, please step back and see if we kill the enemy!" Master Mu Ran did not allow Li Jie to ask again. After saying that, he took the Zen stick handed by the disciple behind him and walked towards the battlefield.

Li Jie also stood there in a daze, watching Master Mu Ran lead his disciples to move faster and faster, and finally he even charged towards the Japanese pirates. Although they only had nine people together, these nine monks actually had an indomitable aura when they charged, and it seemed as if thousands of troops were charging.

"Kill!" As Master Mu Ran roared, he waved the Zen stick in his hand and rushed into the Japanese pirate army. The Japanese pirates who were blocking his head with one blow, then the tail of the stick flew away, and another Japanese pirate was pulled out. The monk behind him also cooperated and protected the master's left and right at any time. The long stick in his hand was also constantly killing the Japanese pirates.

In the view of Li Jie in the rear, when Master Mu Ran attacked the Japanese pirates, he was almost unstoppable, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In the blink of an eye, he tore a hole in the Japanese pirates' team. A team formed by nine people directly rushed into the inside of the Japanese pirates and moved forward all the way. Finally, he broke out from the other side, causing chaos in the Japanese pirates' team.

It was even more unexpected that Master Mu Ran, who had killed the siege, turned around and killed him again. The fierce Japanese pirates were like chickens with no power to fight back, killing them as they wanted.

Hundreds of Japanese pirates were killed by them and they even went in and out. In the end, wherever Master Mu Ran went, the Japanese pirates fled everywhere in fear, and no one dared to resist.

"This...who is this Master Mu Lecturer?" Li Jie was also shocked and had nothing to say.

In the past, when Li [pencil novel www.qbxs.vip] was looking at history, it often described that ancient generals had the courage to be brave enough to be unstoppable. For example, Chang Yuchun, but unfortunately Li Jie traveled late, so he could not see Chang Yuchun. But the master Mu Shan in front of him was a living example. Moreover, the other party was so old, and he could still kill in and out of the Japanese pirates. Then how brave was he when he was young?
