Chapter 2638

When Qi Jiu said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Based on the situation in front of me, I think that after the Japanese invaders broke through the city, they were busy clearing out the stragglers in the city, eliminating their worries, and then approaching the magistrate's office step by step. So,

There will be no fighting here. Once the Japanese pirates think that there are no hidden dangers in the city, they will gather a large army and besiege the magistrate's office. By then, there will definitely be a fierce and fierce battle here!"

While listening to Qi Jiu's words, Wang Xiaoyu looked around. He saw that the houses near the magistrate's office had been burned to a white ground, and there was an open space within a radius of fifty or sixty feet. Looking further into the distance,

Although there are still many houses, most of them are on fire. Wang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "I wonder if there are any archers in the county government office. Otherwise, even if all these houses are burned down, there will be no archers to kill them."

, the Japanese pirates can still advance step by step."

Before Qi Jiu spoke, a catcher following Wang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Master Haojiao learned that there are not only many bows and arrows in the yamen, but also many swords, guns and clubs. Most of the weapons in our hands have been discarded, although we have just discarded them.

We fought all the way and stole many robbers' swords and guns, but it was still far from enough. If we enter the Yamen, everyone can get weapons."

Wang Xiaoyu was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go there right away?"

After she finished speaking, she was about to walk towards the Yamen. Qi Jiu hurriedly stopped her and said: "The city is already in chaos, and there are loud shouts of killing everywhere, but the magistrate's Yamen is like an ancient temple, there is no sound, isn't it?

Is it too strange? Miss Wang, please don’t go there rashly, I’ll explore the way first.”

When Qi Jiu said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Please Miss Wang, please stay here. If there are Japanese pirates who come after me, Miss Wang will have to lead everyone to resist for a while."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Wang Xiaoyu's reply, he walked towards the magistrate's office. Wang Xiaoyu felt clear-headed and knew that Qi Jiu was worried about something unexpected happening to him, so he allowed himself to stay here. He gave the order clearly

When he led the people to fight against the Japanese pirates, he actually asked them to protect him. Although Wang Xiaoyu had always been arrogant, he still felt warm in his heart when he saw Qi Jiu taking such good care of him.

Qi Jiu walked more than ten feet, and was not far from the gate of the magistrate's yamen. At this moment, he heard a sharp "whoosh" sound, and an arrow shot from the top of the yamen gate, inserting it impartially.

On the ground three feet in front of Qi Jiu, the arrow shaft was mostly submerged in the ground. It can be seen that the person who shot the arrow was not only an expert archer, but also had extremely amazing arm strength.

Qi Jiu watched helplessly as the arrow shot into the ground. He knew that the arrow was not intended to kill him, but to warn him not to get close, so he stopped, looked up at the yamen gate, and said loudly: "

I am Qi Jiu, who escaped from the north gate and asked to see Mr. Xu Yingyang and Xu."

Just as Qi Jiu finished speaking, he saw a head peeking out from behind the black tile at the top of the gate. He looked at Qi Jiu and then said loudly: "Throw the weapon in your hand to the ground and then walk to the door to speak."

Qi Jiu saw the man wearing a black gauze hat from afar, and knew that this man must be Xu Yingyang's Jin Yiwei, so he pointed the spear head down, inserted it hard into the soil, and then slowly walked towards the gate of the Yamen. When he reached the door

At the foot of the stone steps in front of the door, he stopped and looked up to the top of the door. He raised his hands and said, "Sir, the Japanese pirates raided Beicheng. We were caught off guard and returned in defeat. Master Guan Changguan and the other fourteen imperial guards.

Your Excellency, no one retreated, and all of them died in the battle in Beicheng. I led the remaining soldiers to retreat from Beicheng. Along the way, I gathered hundreds of people who were lucky enough to escape from the Japanese pirates' swords, and fled back together. I ask to see Master Xu, and I have something important to report to him.

, I would also like to ask you to pass it on for me, I would like to express my gratitude."

After Qi Jiu finished speaking, the Jinyi guard hiding at the top of the gate did not answer immediately. Qi Jiu felt uneasy, thinking to himself that I went to the North City to guard the city on Xu Yingyang's order, but the Japanese pirates broke into the city, and even the city guard, General Guan Chang, also

He died in the battle in Beicheng. According to the Ming Dynasty's military law, those who lose the city will be beheaded, and those who fall to the ground will be beheaded. According to military law, it is enough to kill me twice. Xu Yingyang has great power in his hands, and this is a critical moment. In order to boost his morale,

, maybe I will be beheaded in front of everyone as a warning to others. I am a general of the defeated army. Although I am killed by military law, I am willing to be killed. But if Miss Wang knew that I was beheaded by Xu Yingyang, I would be more powerful than Xu Yingyang.

Yang and Jin Yiwei fought tooth and nail. She was alone, how could she defeat Xu Yingyang and his group? How could she think of a way to escape from Dongliao County and rush to Wangjiazhuang to join Brother Li and Miss Murong.

With Brother Li protecting her, no one can hurt her.

While Qi Jiu was thinking, he suddenly heard someone above his head say: "It turns out that Commander Qi has arrived. Mr. Xu had heard that the Japanese pirates were attacking Dongliao County, so he had already sent people to meet Commander Qi. Since Commander Qi had retreated to the magistrate's office, why did he go to deliver the order?

Your brothers didn’t come back together?”

Qi Jiu was shocked when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Haojiao learned that the Japanese pirates suddenly attacked the city. We were caught off guard and could not resist, and they attacked the city. Master Guan led us to fight to the death with the Japanese pirates, but the Japanese pirates were so powerful.

Everyone, Lord Guan and others died in the battle one after another. I had no choice but to escape all the way back. However, from the beginning to the end, I did not see Lord Jin Yiwei who went to Beicheng to deliver orders."

After Qi Jiu finished speaking, there was no sound above his head. He thought to himself that Xu Yingyang was determined to let the Japanese pirates attack Wangjiazhuang first, but he did not expect that Dongliao County would be the first to bear the brunt. After hearing that the Japanese pirates attacked the city, he could only re-mobilize his troops.

Ma, wanted to defend the city. However, the Japanese pirates were powerful and the defenders on the city were pitifully small. The city was captured by the Japanese pirates in an instant. The Jinyiwei sent by Xu Yingyang to deliver orders to the North City nine times out of ten encountered Japanese pirates on the way and were attacked by Japanese pirates.

of poisonous hands.

Qi Jiu thought of this and was about to speak when the man above his head said: "In that case, Commander Qi can come in and talk. However, those people you brought back cannot enter the Yamen for the time being and have to wait outside the door until Commander Qi sees him.

After Mr. Xu has passed, it is up to Mr. Xu to decide whether these people will go or stay."

After Qi Jiu heard what the man said, he was startled and hurriedly said: "Sir, the Japanese pirates are chasing us all the way, and we are not far from the magistrate's Yamen now. If only the next person is allowed to enter the magistrate's Yamen, and will

Everyone stayed outside the Yamen. If the Japanese pirates came and killed them, wouldn't they lose their lives?"

Just as Qi Jiu finished speaking, the man above his head said: "Don't worry, Commander Qi, you can go see Mr. Xu. As for these people under your command, although they are not allowed to enter the Yamen for the time being, they will never be allowed to be massacred by Japanese pirates.

That’s it.”

Although Qi Jiu was hesitant in his heart, he was ready to take action now. If he delayed not going to see Xu Yingyang, the Jin Yiwei guarding the magistrate's Yamen would definitely become suspicious, and the matter would become more and more out of control. It would be better to go see Xu Yingyang as soon as possible.

He passed Xu Yingyang, reported the fall of Beicheng, and asked him to order the Yamen gate to be opened to admit the defeated soldiers. Thinking of this, Qi Jiu could only say loudly: "Thank you, sir. I will just follow my orders."
