Outside Siming Port, where smoke was rising, two uninvited guests came, two handsome uncles.

"Old Li Tou, you can't do it either! People in the world brag about your ability to conquer the East China Sea with a single sword in Tsing Yi. What's the result? That's it!?" A handsome middle-aged man with half black and half white hair in a bun faced another handsome uncle with a dashing temperament.

said.

"Can you please stop calling me Lao Litou!!" The handsome middle-aged man in Qingyi obviously didn't like this title.

These two people were none other than Li Taibai, the Blue Lotus Sword Immortal who was the second of the Three Ultimate Swords of the year, and Mo Guanlan, the Lord of Guanlan Mountain.

"Aren't you?!" Old Motou asked.

Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.

If you say that Li Taibai is not good at swordsmanship, he will just laugh it off; but if you call him Old Li Tou, he will definitely break his defense.

Even though he was once the Qinglian Sword Immortal who ruled the world, he has to admit that he is already an old man who knows his destiny.

It's just that the mental techniques they cultivate make them look good and look like handsome men in their thirties.

I don’t want to talk to this dumb old Motou, Old Litou... Li Taibai stood on the top of the mountain and looked down at Siming Port.

The ships on the distant sea are still burning and have not yet completely sunk.

The blood on the ground in Siming Port has not dried up yet.

Jackdaws gathered above the harbor, and sea eagles flapped their wings, eyeing the dead bodies below. The scent of carrion was tempting them.

The originally prosperous Siming Port has now become a purgatory on earth.

"It seems that those Japanese slaves were not too timid to kill back then, yet they still have the guts to do so! Come and invade our country!"

In the past, Li Taibai killed the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea with one sword and one man. However, any Japanese pirates of a certain size did not dare to approach Yuezhou for fear of being misunderstood by Li Taibai.

This time the Japanese pirates dispatched so many troops, they were obviously not the group from Donghai; or in other words, the group from Donghai felt that they had found a backer that was enough to compete with Li Taibai.

"Let's go! Let's go meet them!" Before Li Taibai could continue, Mo Guanlan's figure fell gracefully and appeared seven feet away.

Swordsmanship masters at the level of Mo Guanlan and Li Taibai are not too low in Qinggong.

Although it is not as good as Yang Qingyuan's qinggong that can shrink the ground to an inch and fold space, for ordinary people in the world, it is already a miraculous skill.

Prince Deren brought 70,000 people this time and landed at Siming Port.

Among them, 50,000 are Prince Naruhito's direct descendants, and 10,000 Onimusha are included, which is the strongest force under his command.

In addition, there was also a small group of Japanese pirates from the East China Sea that he temporarily recruited, numbering more than 20,000.

These people are the famous owners, village officials and other classes and unemployed people along the coast of Japan. In addition to coastal robbery, they are mainly engaged in the Sino-Japanese smuggling trade. They can also be called "pirates"!

The leader is called the "Pirate King!"

…

Many of these groups were subdued by Prince Naruhito. Although they were not as well-trained as Prince Naruhito's guards, they were still extremely ferocious Japanese pirates.

Therefore, Prince Naruhito brought them with him! Although their combat power was not as good as that of his Guards, these Japanese pirates were obviously more professional in the job of raiding and looting.

A group of Japanese pirates who were on guard discovered two middle-aged swordsmen walking towards this place and responded immediately.

"What the hell are you doing?!" He spoke fluently in Japanese and people knew he was a Japanese pirate.

"Keng!"

But the person who came did not speak. What answered them was a brilliant sword light!

"What a nice view!"

Kendo has always been the avenue pursued by Japanese warriors, but no matter how profound and profound the kendo is, it will be eclipsed before this sword.

The Japanese pirates patrolling in the distance saw something unusual here and immediately shouted, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

While shouting wildly, they surrounded Li Taibai and Mo Guanlan.

"Old Li Tou, why don't you give it a try?!"

Mo Guanlan glanced at Li Taibai. They had not fought against each other since ten years ago. Today, they just used these Japanese pirates as pawns to fight in a game.

"Then let's see what progress you have made in these years of hiding in the mountains, Old Motou!"

"Keng!"

"Zheng!"

After two sword sounds, two sword lights illuminated the world!

--------------------------------------------------

Outside Jinyang City, King Zhao's army camped.

Zhang Shimei was leisurely at this time with a bit of unwillingness.

Leisure was naturally due to King Zhao's miraculous victory at Baigou River. This battle completely defeated the main force of Zhou Ting's Pingjing Army, and Zhang Shimei no longer had to worry about the threat from the Pingjing Army.

He could now arrogantly set up his camp under Jinyang City, and Cao Xueyang did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

And this reluctance naturally came from King Zhao's victory at Baigou River.

Isn't it because everyone is following King Zhao in raising troops because they are pursuing something?! Seeking the merit of serving the dragon and gaining a hereditary title.

At this time, military exploits become particularly important!

Zhang Shimei was originally the number one general under King Zhao. Although Qiu Fu was favored by King Zhao before, Zhang Shimei's status as the number one general in King Zhao's army could not be shaken.

But he, the number one general in King Zhao's army, has not had a very impressive record from the beginning of the war until now. Cao Xueyang didn't even plan it, which resulted in the capture of four of his own generals, and even Zhu Shihong was injured.

Originally, there was a comparison between Qiu Fu and the second fool. Although Zhang Shimei was frustrated, he was not defeated so outrageously after all. But this time King Zhao took action himself. Moreover, the battle was won brilliantly. After such a comparison, it seems that he and Zhu Shi

Hong is so incompetent!

How can he convince the other generals in King Zhao's army like this, and how can King Zhao continue to reuse him?!

Therefore, although Zhang Shimei can only win if he persists, deep down in his heart he still wants to fight Cao Xueyang's Longwu Army.

Whether it's to gain military merit or to prove himself, he wants to fight.

Just when Zhang Shimei was trying to convince herself, Zhu Shihong came to cause trouble!

"Brother Shimei! Good news! This morning, plain white silk damasks have been hung on Jinyang City, and even the soldiers guarding the city have changed into white robes!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These actions of the Jinyang Army undoubtedly told Zhang Shimei that they already knew the news of Zhao Tianlin's death in battle. That's why the army reacted like this.

This was an opportunity, and a glimmer of light flashed in Zhang Shimei's eyes!

Zhao Tianlin's identity and status are of great importance in the Longwu Army and even in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

The news of his death in battle will inevitably have a huge impact on the morale of the Longwu Army. If they can seize this opportunity and fight a beautiful battle, it will be a highly desired military achievement for Zhang Shimei and Zhu Shihong.

But Zhang Shimei quickly calmed down and was not dazzled by the news and his desire for military success.

"Although Cao Xueyang is a female figure, she is also a veteran on the battlefield. She can use troops according to the right circumstances and is by no means idle. Whatever we can think of, she must be able to think of it. At this time, she will definitely not go out of the city to fight with us!"

Zhu Shihong also realized this problem, "Shimei, can we find a way to force Cao Xueyang out!?"

Zhang Shimei couldn't help but rolled his eyes and forced him to come out. It was easy to say. In this case, how could Cao Xueyang take the initiative to die?!

"Brother Shihong, we are in a different place, will you go to fight?!"

We all are not idiots, how could we force ourselves to go to war when the morale of the army is low?! What is the difference between this and surrendering?!

"What you said makes sense! Unless there is a military order from the prince, it is impossible for me to go to war?!" Zhu Shihong thought, it is indeed true, and it is impossible for Cao Xueyang to do such a thing of digging his own grave.

"Huh?!" Zhang Shimei's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Brother Zhu, what did you just say!?"

Now I don’t even call you Brother Shihong anymore, it’s just Brother Zhu!

"Ah?! What did I say?!" Zhu Shihong looked confused. What did I do? I didn't seem to have done anything!?

"Say what you just said again!" Zhang Shimei's eyes flashed with anxiety.

"I said, what you said makes sense!?"

"No, that's not the sentence!"

"That's it, what did I say!?"

Zhang Shimei was going crazy with anxiety. The more important something is, the harder it is for people to remember it. "No, it's what you whispered just now!?"

"Mumbling, oh!" Zhu Shihong suddenly realized, "I said, changing the place, unless the prince has a military order, otherwise I will never go to war!"

"That's right!" Zhang Shimei gave a high-five, "We can't make Cao Xueyang go to war, but Zhou Ting can! If the Ministry of War and the Sixth Army Governor's Office put pressure on Cao Xueyang! Then wouldn't Cao Xueyang be forced to go to war?!"

Zhu Shihong nodded, and then asked, "Brother Zhang, Li Chengguang, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Wu Keming of the Sixth Army Governor's Office are not stupid either! How could they put pressure on Cao Xueyang and force her to fight at this time?!"

"..." Zhang Shimei boasted of both wisdom and courage, and made plans before taking action. However, at this moment, Zhu Shihong, the most powerful general of King Zhao's army, was speechless.

Yes, Li Chengguang is a capable minister of the country, and Wu Keming is also a famous general in the world. How could they make such a mistake?!

"Don't be impatient! Don't be impatient!" Zhang Shimei warned herself silently. A general is most afraid of being impetuous. Once impatient, his thinking will be chaotic. If his thinking is chaotic, he will not be able to analyze the situation calmly.

"Send an order for the scouts in the army to closely monitor the movements in Jinyang City."

At the same time, Zhang Shimei also used the spies entrusted to him by King Zhao.

Although the spies of Prince Zhao's Mansion cannot be compared with Jin Yiwei and Hulong Villa, they are also a major intelligence organization in the world, with their own intelligence agencies everywhere.
