The waves rolled in, rushed onto the beach, and soon retreated unwillingly, launching an even more violent impact.
Qin Huaidao strolled over and watched the miners who helped carry the silver ingots put them on a small boat and then turned back to continue carrying them. Surrounded by the wolf camp soldiers who were eyeing him with their crossbows, after seeing two thousand defenders killed,
No miner dares to think otherwise.
After the boat was full, the people from the village guard rowed back to the boat and carried it aboard.
The large ship has a deep draft and cannot dock, so it can only be moved slowly by small boats, which is time-consuming, but there is nothing we can do.
There are two large ships in total, one Qinhuaidao is used for command, and the other is empty and used to store trophies. The trophies captured in Nagasaki and Hirado are all on it. They are stored in a centralized manner and guarded by the village guard team to avoid trouble.
.
Qin Huaidao felt very good when he saw this scene. The next step was the evidence. As long as he got it, the trip would be perfect. He couldn't help but look to the west. He didn't know how Chang'an was and how his family was.
Inexplicably, a palpitation surged into my heart, and I was suddenly startled. Could something have happened?
The next moment, Qin Huaidao became nervous and stared sharply at the west, wanting to cross the vast sea to see Chang'an and his family.
"Uncle!" came an excited voice.
"Luo Ying, what's wrong?" Qin Huaidao looked back at Luo Ying who was running towards him.
"A batch of silver ore was found in the silver mine. It hasn't been smelted yet. There is a lot of it. I asked the translator to ask. It will take a day to smelt it. Do you think?"
"Smelting, let them hurry up. I don't know if there was any news about the battle just now. They must hurry up. No matter whether Japanese reinforcements arrive or not, they must get on the ship before dark. Even if we are well equipped, if there are many people coming,
We may not be able to win. We don’t need sea water. We have explosive packs. We can blow up as many ships as we come. It will be relatively safer. If it doesn’t work, we can still withdraw." Qin Huaidao solemnly warned.
"As ordered, I will keep an eye on it myself." Luo Ying solemnly responded and left in a hurry.
It takes time to move, so take advantage of the opportunity to smelt as much as you want. Why don't you want to pick up something for free? I feel good.
But when I thought that something might happen to Chang'an, my good mood suddenly dropped, and I pondered - go back, or continue?
Without evidence, there is little point in going back.
After some thought, Qin Huaidao suppressed his worries and decided to get evidence.
After an hour, all the ready-made silver ingots were loaded onto the ship.
There was a lot of food in the silver mine, so everyone ate and drank enough and continued to be vigilant. After another hour, the silver ore was smelted out, amounting to nearly a million taels of pure silver, and was quickly shipped to the ship. Even food and water were not spared.
Before dark, the fleet returned to its original route, detoured to the south of Japan, and headed straight for Osaka Prefecture.
The Japanese country has a long and narrow terrain. You can reach Osaka Prefecture by land from north to south, and it is fast. However, if Fugen Island is lost, the Japanese country will definitely send a large army over. If you happen to hit it by land, you will be entangled. The risk is too high and it is not advisable.
Although the sea route to the south is far and time-consuming, the victory is stable and the chance of winning is high.
…
There is a valley two hundred miles west of Chang'an City.
Xue Rengui led about thirty men and galloped on horseback, with murderous intent in his eyes. Along the way, the Turks continued to divide their troops and took advantage of the favorable terrain to attack with bows and arrows. They suffered a lot of losses, not to mention the huge physical consumption, and also delayed time. The distance was getting farther and farther.
If he really wants to get lost, Xue Rengui will have no face to see Qin Huaidao.
"call out--"
Suddenly, a heavy arrow whizzed over with a shrieking sound.
Xue Rengui reacted very quickly. He smashed the heavy arrow away with his horse's spear, then reined in his horse and shouted: "The enemy is attacking."
"Xilulu!"
The horseman stood up on his crotch, waving his forelimbs, and jumped like a thunder. Xie Rengui also stood up, skillfully caressing the horse's neck, and calmed it down. A pair of tiger eyes stared at the direction of the heavy arrow. He had encountered the same ambush several times, and he had seen it too many times.
Weird, shouted: "Get ready to fight!"
The people in the village protection team behind him drew their swords one after another, with cold and stern eyes.
Suddenly, countless men in black rushed out of the woods on both sides. Each of them had his face covered, only one eye was exposed, and his eyes were fierce and indifferent, as cold as a demon emerging from hell. They rushed up silently, their swords reflecting the sunlight,
Cold, sharp, cold.
"Unified weapons? You are not a Turkic cavalry, who is here?" Xue Rengui keenly sensed something was wrong, shouted loudly, Ma Shan pointed in the distance, and a domineering aura erupted.
The visitor rushed forward silently, and no one answered.
Seeing that the battle was about to begin, Xue Rengui was furious and shouted: "Hide your head and show your tail, dare not reveal your identity, either pretend to be a regular army, or a dead soldier, no matter what, you deserve to die, kill -"
The war horse under its crotch is extremely fast and human-like. Feeling Xue Rengui's strong murderous intention, it rushed up and kicked away the man in black who rushed up. Xue Rengui immediately swept through the thousands of troops like a rolling mat, killing everyone in front.
To kill, rush forward and continue to chop, no one can stop it.
The team protecting the village also rode up to catch up, using Xue Rengui as an arrow, slashing left and right with great force and speed.
Although the men in black were fierce and good at fighting, they could not stop the horses from colliding with each other. Xue Rengui led the men to tear open a gap and kill them. He did not hesitate to fight and continued to charge forward. The top priority was not to kill the enemy, but to save others.
Just after rushing out a short distance, a tripping rope suddenly appeared on the ground. The war horse stumbled and fell to the ground. Xue Rengui was also thrown down, but he reacted quickly and climbed up. He saw his brothers falling one after another behind him. There were actually people on the ground.
With five tripping ropes, his eyes turned cold and he turned his head to look aside.
Many men in black emerged from the woods nearby, also with their faces covered, and they rushed towards them silently.
The biting dogs don't bark, but these people are so murderous that they are obviously extraordinary.
The two groups of men in black were obviously a group, with more than three hundred in number. On the other hand, his side was only thirty. Xue Rengui did not dare to be careless and shouted: "Get closer to me and form a defensive formation."
Everyone quickly climbed up and rushed forward, back to back, forming a circular formation, staring eagerly at the man in black who rushed up, with firm eyes and no fear at all.
"Brothers, fight to the death!" Xue Rengui shouted.
Countless men in black rushed forward, looking like demons, cold and cruel.
Everyone did not show any weakness, they fought hard, advanced and retreated well, and cooperated with each other to the fullest. No one could get closer than one meter in front of them.
Xue Rengui relied on the length of his horse to sweep away a large area, and his stabbing was as fast as lightning, showing his unparalleled bravery.
After a while, a circle of corpses lay around everyone.
However, these men in black had obviously received orders to die. They fought to the death and rushed forward desperately, hoping to exchange lives for lives. This style of play immediately put everyone in danger.
At the critical moment, suddenly a dense sound of war horses came.
Xue Rengui wondered if it was the Turkic soldiers who came back to kill him. His heart trembled and he shouted: "Brothers, it seems that I will not survive today. The young master will arrange the affairs after his death. For the sake of the young master, kill!"
"kill!"
Thirty people roared in unison, their momentum was like a rainbow, like thousands of troops.
"kill--"
Almost at the same time, a roar came.
Immediately afterwards, countless cavalrymen swarmed in, slashing at the man in black with their sharp swords, just like chopping melons and vegetables. The man in black was instantly killed in chaos and fled towards the woods, but more cavalry rushed over and killed the man in black in an instant.
The clothes were drowned.
A general rushed to Xue Rengui, cupped his fists and said, "But Brother Xue?!"
Xue Rengui's face was covered with the enemy's blood, and it was difficult to recognize him at first glance. He wiped his face, revealing a pair of red eyes, cupping his fists and saying: "It turns out to be brother Chu Bi, thank you for saving me. This is...the imperial army?"
"
"The imperial army is nothing. I led the army to arrest the murderer on my father's order. But when I left the city, I was taken back by an imperial edict. My father was dismissed from office and I was dismissed from my post. My father was worried and asked me to lead my troops here. It happened that all the ministers from various countries
The government also sent its own soldiers to the door, so I brought them with me, and luckily I caught up."
A few words, but they reveal a lot of confidence.
Xue Rengui's face changed greatly: "Your Majesty, how could he... try to kill my young master and his wife?"
"Let's not talk about it for now. We have brought 300 people. Although they are domestic soldiers, they are veterans who have retired from hundreds of battles and their skills are still there. Tell me, what should we do?" Cheng Chubi asked.
Xue Rengui had followed Qin Huaidao for a long time and learned political thinking. He asked: "Cheng and Jiang Jun have been dismissed. Who will be in charge of the Nanya Division now?"
"Prince Jin."
"Prince Jin... that little brat?" Xue Rengui didn't have a good impression of the royal family, so he called him by his first name. He made great contributions in the battle with Tubo, but received no reward, which was heartbreaking. Now that He'er is tied up, Cheng Chu
Bi led his troops to rescue but was summoned. Isn't this not to ignore death?
If he had not been recalled, he would not have been ambushed several times by the Turkic cavalry and lost about twenty brothers. He might have caught up with the Turkic cavalry and rescued them.
Xie Rengui is not used to such a cold and heartless king.
Cheng Chubi was also very angry and said angrily: "You must know the inside story. We will settle the account when brother Qin comes back. The most urgent thing is to save people."
Xue Renguihan kept his face and said nothing. He opened the masks of several men in black and checked. They were all Tang people, not Turks. The identities of the dead men were basically confirmed. He looked at the two injured team members who were guarding the village and warned: "You two stay here.
Observe secretly to see who will come here to finish things off, follow them, find out their identity, and then return to Qinjiazhuang to report to Madam."
"Here." The other party nodded solemnly.
"The others are coming with me, and we will not give up until we save the people." Xue Rengui said murderously.
