Chapter 261 A figure passes by and a head falls (5k)
"What an injustice!"
Suddenly there was a shout, and Peng Feng suddenly knelt down. Wearing a fourth-grade court dress and crying, he walked to Cao Jinxing's feet. Looking at the flying fish, his whole body trembled with fear and his heart tightened.
He knew very well that if the Jin Yiwei knew, it was equivalent to the emperor knowing that even the former general Qiu Luan would not be spared from the consequences of being a traitor to foreigners - he would be executed in Lingchi and his head would be spread throughout the world!
What's more, it's him, a mere fourth-grade prefect.
Right now, only this Jin Yiwei might be able to save his life.
"Lord Senhu, you have misunderstood!"
Peng Feng knelt on the ground and said righteously: "We are all officials of the imperial court and have been favored by the emperor. How can we surrender to the enemy and treason? It's just that the Japanese pirates suddenly attacked the city and the city was poorly defended. So we had no choice but to surrender and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
, then cooperate inside and outside, and catch them all in one fell swoop, my lord!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"That's what I'm thinking!"
"Your Excellency is aware of this!"
Other officials also knelt down and cried out for injustice.
Cao Jinxing smiled rudely, but there was no smile in his smile.
He bent down, looked into Peng Feng's eyes, and said lightly: "Does Master Peng know who I am?"
Peng Feng was stunned for a moment, and said timidly: "Dare you ask, dare you ask, sir... What's your surname..."
"I am Cao Jinxing. I was the one who sent General Qiu Luan to the West a few months ago."
"?!!"
Peng Feng was so frightened that he threw his head back and fell to the ground.
Cao Jinxing looked at him coldly: "His defense statement is similar to what you said, but it makes no sense... I am not a fool, and the Lord is not a fool. You actually have the nerve to say this weak excuse.
!It’s really a waste of time to read the sage’s book!”
Cao Jinxing slapped him away.
All the teeth in Peng Feng's mouth were knocked out.
Other officials remained silent, their eyes full of fear, and they did not dare to say a word.
What I never expected was this god of murder. Not only was he incompetent, but he also had a grudge against the Yan family and would never let them go!
It’s over!
It’s all over!
All the officials were heartbroken.
"Just stay honest and you can live a little longer..."
Cao Jinxing withdrew his gaze, looked at Matsuura Weiming, and said: "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you. If you can recognize You Dingfeng as your master, you can support three hundred iron gunners and more than two thousand elite warriors. Let so many
The best soldiers and generals bowed their heads - oh, sorry, I got rid of them all on the way here, and now apart from those miscellaneous soldiers and rogues, only you are left - people like you are not like ordinary Japanese pirates. I will tell you where you came from.
Check it out..."
Cao Jinxing smiled faintly, with a faint red light in his eyes.
Matsuura Yuiaki was so frightened by the content and smile in those words that he fell back, his brain was buzzing and went blank!
teacher……
Two ministers...
Three hundred iron gunners...
More than two thousand elite warriors...
All gone...
Matsuura Weiming's face is getting paler and paler. What's even more frightening is that once Daming knows who is supporting the Ronin pirates, it will be a life-or-death situation!
War breaks out frequently in Japan, and they are divided into separate territories. They don't even need to take action themselves, they can just help the enemies of the Matsuura clan to kill people!
No!
We can't let them know the basics!
Matsuura Weiming was thinking a lot, and suddenly he pulled out the short waistband and stabbed it to the heart!
Cao Jinxing pointed calmly, and the invisible sword energy hit the Tanzhong point on his chest.
Matsuura Yuiming froze on the spot, with only one pair of eyes showing extreme fear.
"If you fall into my hands, you will have to get my consent to die!"
…
"Quick! Faster!"
On the official road, Qi Jiguang took the lead and led General Ren Jin to lead three thousand newly trained cavalry to rush to Ninghai's aid.
Even though we knew that the Japanese pirates might be trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attack in the east and attack in the west, we couldn't just watch the people of Ninghai being massacred by the Japanese pirates!
Qi Jiguang stationed the main force in Taizhou, cooperated with the Haidao General Army to guard against Wang Zhi's group, and led three thousand newly trained soldiers to come to the rescue.
However, they already had the worst plan in mind - they had received a secret report before they came. This large-scale invasion by the Japanese pirates was not just a feint attack. There were traitors in Ninghai City who surrendered to the enemy. It was probably a combination of internal cooperation and external cooperation. Ninghai was very likely to
Eighty-nine has fallen!
To attack a fortified city with three thousand new soldiers is basically to die!
But we can't remain indifferent. Now we have to go to Ninghai first and then make plans...
"General, look! There's a fire in the city!"
One of the soldiers shouted, with a look of resentment on his face: "These bastards set fire to the city again, they are worse than animals!"
Qi Jiguang and Ren Jin also noticed it, their faces so gloomy that they could drip with tears.
Last night, we successfully brought out many evil officials in Zhejiang who were giving advantage to the Japanese pirates, and took advantage of the situation to severely injure Niu Gui, making the Japanese pirates' painstakingly planned conspiracy come to light. However, unexpectedly, someone in the capital leaked the secret, and the originally good situation turned upside down again.
The imperial edict forced those officials to jump over the wall and actually chose to pass through the Japanese city, leading to such a tragic disaster!
The situation has reached such a point that we really can’t say whether we are winning or losing.
"Commander Ren, you lead the troops and continue, I will open the city gate first."
"yes."
Now that the Japanese pirates have entered the city, the four gates must be heavily guarded. People with strong martial arts skills are needed to explore the way, and Qi Jiguang will do his part.
He was ready to attack by force, but he didn't expect that when he used Qing Kung and arrived at the south gate, there was no one standing on the tower.
There are no artillery, no samurai, no ninjas, just dead bodies everywhere!
"General Qi!"
Just when he was wondering, Yang Xi pressed his hand on the city gate and shouted in a low voice. The heavy wooden door opened to both sides, revealing the two figures.
Lu Yi also saw Qi Jiguang and shouted: "Hurry into the city!"
Qi Jiguang finally breathed a sigh of relief. One was the third son of the left governor Lu Bing, and the other was the deputy commander of the Great Neiying Guard. He knew both of them. With them here, even if he lost to the Japanese pirates, he could still suppress their arrogance.
Dare to kill people wantonly.
In a flash, Qi Jiguang entered the city.
A strong smell of blood floated over, and when I looked around, I saw that the avenue was full of dead bodies, lying all over the place!
With Qi Jiguang's eyesight, it was obvious that these people all died due to Yin Yang and Ninjutsu.
"It's too late to reminisce about old times. What's the situation in the city now? Where are the Japanese pirates stationed? How many are there? We have to get there quickly!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Japanese pirates put up such a formation, and they were afraid that they would be accompanied by experts. These two people may not be opponents. Qi Jiguang was very anxious.
"There is no need to worry, General."
Lu Yi said: "Now that the chaos in the city has been cleared, there are only a few rogues running around, which is not a good situation. In addition, there are still bandits in the direction of the Japanese ships that cannot be wiped out. It's time to ask for reinforcements to help, so we can catch them all!"
"What do you mean..."
Qi Jiguang was stunned for a moment: "You two alone killed all the Japanese pirates? How many people came in total?"
"More than 20,000 people."
"Twenty thousand?"
Qi Jiguang was shocked, these were almost half of the Japanese pirates!
Are those people stupid? Are they standing here and letting you kill them?
"The general misunderstood."
Lu Yi said with a smile: "Of course I can't do it. Commander Yang might be able to do it, but he is entangled by the Japanese swordsman and has no chance. The two of us are just dealing with the aftermath, and the real heroes who can turn the tide are not here - the Japanese pirates are coming with great fanfare and are fully prepared.
, elite soldiers, strong generals, and martial arts masters, there is no shortage of them! With just the two of us, we can't even attack their station."
"oh?"
The crisis had been resolved. Qi Jiguang was happy and became interested, and asked: "Who are those? Twenty thousand Japanese pirates, half of Wang Zhi's men are here. There must be an expert leading the army, plus hundreds of muskets and artillery.
Even if he doesn't take action and the muskets and artillery don't fire, those soldiers will still have to be killed for a while while they stand for you to kill... Who can slaughter the Japanese pirates against so many obstacles?"
Lu Yi smiled mysteriously: "General, you will understand if you come with us to see the bandit leader. Calculating the time, it should be almost..."
"good."
Qi Jiguang nodded and turned around, shouting loudly, and ordered General Ren Jin to lead 2,000 men to clear out the remaining soldiers on the Japanese boats along the coast, leaving 1,000 men to hunt down the remnants in the city, and then led a few personal soldiers to follow Lu Yi and Yang Xi towards the station.
, I saw the headless corpses along the way...
These people died in exactly the same manner, obviously all by the same hand!
A rough calculation shows that he alone killed twice as many people as Yang Xi and Lu Yi combined on the official road at the south gate!
"Huh?"
Qi Jiguang became more and more surprised as he watched, and suddenly said: "This technique... seems to be my improved sword-drawing technique, but more subtle... I think I know who he is... No wonder, with this level of sword-drawing technique, plus
With unparalleled lightness skills, those Japanese pirates were probably dead before they could react! Basically, they were just standing there to be killed. No wonder these corpses looked defenseless, and no wonder he was able to slaughter so many enemies... The figures passed by, and the heads fell.
,What a handsome martial arts!"
Now it was Lu Yi's turn to be curious: "Does the general know about him?"
Qi Jiguang smiled and said: "He has learned my swordsmanship. Ambassador Liu Zhen mentioned it to me, and your father also praised him many times. In addition, Fangla treasure turned over 300,000 taels of military expenses that time. This time he was forced to
The Yan family cut off their wings... Even Hu Butang praised him highly. When he was in Hangzhou, we had heavy military affairs and had no time to meet him, and we regretted for a while. Today, the name of the Thirteen Taibao has already been heard.
"
The three of them rushed to Peng Feng's house, and there were more and more corpses along the way.
Even though everyone knew that Cao Jinxing was very skilled in martial arts, they were still shocked by the sight of corpses everywhere!
These people are not only ronin, but also samurai who practice martial arts!
Especially those people near the house, who not only wore excellent quality armor but also powerful Frankie guns and artillery, they would be hit if they were not careful, but Cao Jinxing killed them just like he killed the ronin, he still killed them with one knife, and continued to kill them.
The position of the knife has not changed at all!
The three of them rushed into the gate of the house. Cao Jinxing was bored waiting, sitting on the chair at the front with a new plate of pork belly to feed the cat.
The white cat sat on the table neatly and looked very cute, but the officials in the corner looked at it with extremely frightened eyes!
——Under the southeast window, there is an official whose head was cut into three "pieces". It was the white cat who did it!
The man was from Ningbo Bingbei Qianshi and had good martial arts skills. He thought he could escape while Cao Jinxing was unprepared, but in the blink of an eye, a white shadow flashed past and his head was chopped into pieces by the blade-like claws.
.The remaining officials immediately became as honest as quails.
"You are quite leisurely."
Lu Yi strode in and said angrily: "I still have time to feed the cat."
Cao Jinxing smiled and said: "We've caught him, and the culprit is here, waiting to be dealt with. If you don't come, what else can I do if I don't feed the cat?"
While speaking, Cao Jinxing looked at Qi Jiguang, his eyes lit up, he stood up, clasped his fists and said, "General Qi, I have admired you for a long time."
Qi Jiguang returned the gift with his hand, looked Cao Jinxing up and down, and said with a smile: "A hero comes from a young age. Mr. Cao, Ninghai is very grateful to you this time! Please accept Qi's greetings!"
He bowed solemnly and bowed deeply.
Cao Jinxing hurriedly stretched out his hand to help: "The general does not need to be so solemn about his responsibilities. However, the general has made great contributions to the country by resisting the Japanese pirates. I admire him very much."
Qi Jiguang stood up straight, smiled, and looked at Peng Feng and others in the corner without being polite: "Is that them?"
"Exactly."
Cao Jinxing said: "These people need to be handed over to Hu Butang. He has the king's order and a legitimate name. He can also take the opportunity to scare Xiao Xiao. Now that the decree has been leaked, I'm afraid there will be many Peng Feng and others, so we still need to solve it as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Hu Butang has already started to deal with it, and no one who should be caught can escape!"
Qi Jiguang waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him locked several people in shackles and took them away, waiting to be escorted back to Hangzhou and handed over to Hu Zongxian.
——Lingchi was executed as a warning to others!
Peng Feng and others knew very well what was waiting for them, and they were all so frightened that they started to cry.
"Useless things!"
Qi Jiguang's face was cold and he shouted sternly: "When the Japanese pirates entered the city, how many people died and how many families were torn apart! It's because of you bastards that Lingchi took advantage of you! Watch out for them and don't commit suicide. The punishment you deserve must not be punished at all."
This general will take all the blame!"
"yes!"
The soldiers responded in a loud voice, deeply hating the treasonous act of collaboration with the enemy by this group of people, and pushed a few people away.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qi Jiguang looked at the young man in Japanese clothes with a numb expression like a puppet, frowned and said: "He is..."
"You've used "Mind-Taking Technique", so don't worry, you're not stupid. I've asked all the questions you need to ask, it's a bit troublesome."
Cao Jinxing frowned and named all the three forces behind the Japanese pirates: "This man is the second son of Matsuura Takanobu. He has a respected position. Maybe he can do something about it. However, in Japan, the eldest son inherits the father's business, and the second son and below go out on their own.
...Matsuura Takanobu may not think highly of him, and now that his true identity has been exposed, in order to appease the anger of the Ming Dynasty, he may blame the Japanese pirates on him."
"I see……"
Qi Jiguang suddenly realized, and his eyes became deeper and deeper: "No matter what Matsuura Takanobu says, there is no need for the Matsuura Domain to exist! When the Japanese pirate incident subsides, I will ask for help to kill the Japanese and destroy this feudal city!"
"The general is mighty."
Cao Jinxing smiled: "Then I'll leave this place to the general. Half of the Japanese pirates were buried here. The Japanese pirates in Zhoushan probably won't sit still and wait for death. The situation in Taizhou is urgent. Let's go to the camp first to wait for the general."
"Um."
Qi Jiguang nodded, took off the token from his waist and handed it to him: "Take this token, my deputy general will entertain you. The military situation is urgent. Thank you for your hard work. When everything calms down, I will treat you all to a drink!"
Cao Jinxing clasped his fists and said, "It's a deal."
Qi Jiguang smiled and said: "It's a deal!"
Seeing this, Lu Yi and Yang Xi also clasped their fists in salute and smiled.
…
The surface of the East China Sea.
Four hundred warships float quietly on the sea, not far or close to the land, containing the main force of Taizhou and creating an opportunity for Mao Haifeng's side to seize the city.
On the largest dragon boat, Wang Zhi and others looked at the land across the sea - the Ming army had set up cannons and aimed at the warships.
"Those rows of cannons must be the firearms that sank twenty of my warships last night."
Wang Zhi held up the telescope and looked very ugly.
Xu Weixue looked at it and said: "Yes, I heard that it is a heavy artillery made by the God Ax Gate's improved Frankie artillery. It is called the 'Red Lotus General'. It has very powerful firepower! The design entered the Nanjing Firearms Manufacturing Factory two months ago.
Workshop, this is the latest batch of finished products..."
"Damn it!"
Wang Zhi said angrily: "With such a sharp weapon, even if the Ming army is full of wine and rice bags, it will be difficult for us to land!"
"yes."
Xu Weixue first nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "King Hui, don't worry too much. There are more than just wine bags and rice bags in the Ming army, there are also many like Peng Feng! In the past two days, I have received at least five secret letters from officials of fourth rank and above offering surrender.
Xin. Isn’t it easy to win over Ning Hai this time? There will be more opportunities in the future.”
"That's true."
Wang Zhi raised his eyebrows and said: "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Cao Jinxing. Without him to capture Beiyuan Dragon Saint, how could he have captured Ninghai so easily. The ancients said: good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, sincerity will not be deceived by me~"
"Report!"
At this moment, a spy rushed onto the ship, knelt down in front of Wang Zhi with a bang, and said anxiously: "King Hui is in trouble! Ninghai City has undergone great changes! Young Master and the others have just entered the city less than an hour ago.
Cao Jinxing rode the eagle into the city and began to massacre the ronin! Young Master and Qingmu have been captured! Young Master Wei Ming has also been captured, Xiong Ze Takuma and the other two generals as well as the three thousand elite..."
Wang Zhi's eyes immediately turned red, he grabbed his collar and said anxiously: "What's wrong? What's wrong with them? Tell me quickly!!"
The spy said with a mournful face: "They, they were all killed by Cao Jinxing!"
"?!!"
Wang Zhi's blood welled up in his throat, and he was so angry that he almost lost his breath.
Xu Weixue quickly supported him.
"This is impossible!"
Wang Zhi broke away from Xu Weixue and couldn't believe this fact at all. He mentioned the spy and shouted: "Xiong Zetuo is really one of the top five swordsmen in Japan. How could Cao Jinxing kill him! Not to mention the two generals and the three hundred iron gunners."
Help! How did you know it was Cao Jinxing? It must be the enemy who is spreading suspicion about the formation to disturb the morale of our army! Come here, drag him out and kill him!"
"King Hui, spare your life!"
The spy was so frightened that he hurriedly defended: "Just half an hour ago, Qi Jiguang led his troops into the city and re-deployed the defense with the reinforcements! Cao Jinxing and two others left the city and came to Taizhou.
There is a big cat next to him, with a griffon on his head, and he himself is dressed in a flying fish costume. Who else could it be if it weren't for him? These news were told by geishas, who saw it with their own eyes! And the body is still hanging high in the sky.
On top of the city, it’s no lie!”
Plop!
Wang Zhi was stunned and let go of the spy's collar, and the man fell to the ground.
Wang Zhi was first shocked, then furious, and roared: "Cao Jinxing! Cao Jinxing! I'm going to kill you!!!"
That shrill roar echoed over the vast sea, floating far and wide...
