Everyone is highly motivated when it comes to picking up money. Almost everyone in this group of Cossacks picked up an eagle. They soon discovered that this thing should be a currency similar to the silver ruble, and they immediately beamed with joy.
Huzi continued to throw the eagle in his hand and said:
"Hey! I still prefer silver rubles to this thing. If your reward is those little cuties, then we will let the Japanese see the power of the Cossacks!"
Fang Linyan shrugged and said:
"In fact, the current exchange rate for each Yingyang is about 1.12 silver rubles! But now the silver rubles have been collected to exchange for your loot. I can't come up with so much money at once."
"So, I promise here that in two days, as long as you are willing to exchange Eagle Ocean for silver rubles, I can exchange it in full! Of course, it is based on the exchange rate of 1:1, that is, one Eagle Ocean is exchanged for one silver ruble.
ruble."
After hearing Fang Linyan's words, many people started beating up in their hearts, and then quickly gave up the idea of ​​exchanging.
Although Cossack men are brave and muscular, they still have basic calculation skills when it comes to money--after all, Cossacks live in poverty most of the time.
The cumulative reward promised by the Chinese man in front of me was fifty eagle coins. If what he said was true, he rashly exchanged it for "priceless coins". According to the exchange rate of 1:1.12, he would have almost lost money.
A full six silver rubles.
When I was in Vladivostok, it was pretty good to earn three silver rubles a month!
As for Fang Linyan's creditworthiness, they had not doubted it. After all, everyone had seen this Chinese man talking and laughing with Mr. Nicholas, and the other Chinese people on the ship also respected him. More importantly, the exchangers
The Chinese who have silver rubles all listen to him!
After this episode, returning Cossack teams gradually joined Fang Linyan's recruitment.
After all, it is easy for the Cossacks to distinguish the quality of a bottle of vodka, but it is even more difficult for them to distinguish the authenticity of porcelain and the value of jewelry.
And at this time, Nagasaki has been ravaged for almost five or six hours, and all valuable targets have been looted. Therefore, there are not many Cossacks who are confident that they can make fifty eagle oceans in the next three hours. Then
It's better to accompany this Chinese man on a trip.
For the convenience of command, Nicholas also designated his adjutant Bleus to assist Fang Linyan.
If Fang Linyan has any needs, he can just tell Bliss directly, and the latter will be responsible for commanding and attacking.
After gathering about one hundred and fifty people, unable to withstand Zheng Laoqi's pleading, Fang Linyan felt that it was almost done and ordered to set off.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Wu, Li San and others heard that Fang Linyan was going to rescue his compatriots. Even though their injuries had not healed, they still strongly requested to go with them.
Fang Linyan took into account that strictly speaking, this battle was not very dangerous, and that masters like Wang Wu and Master Huo had the bonus of true energy and could heal themselves very quickly, so he nodded in agreement.
This time, the group did not take the land route. At this time, the entire port was already under their control, so they casually got a red seal boat and sailed along the bay in the distance.
In this way, although taking the water route would take a long distance, the concealment would be extremely high, and the Russian mercenaries would not have to travel long distances along the way, which would also help them maintain fighting status.
After sailing for more than an hour, the Zhuyin Ship docked in a bay that looked very hidden. However, when it docked, you could see that a small pier had been built here, and the stones next to it were covered with stones.
It was polished very smooth and had obviously been used regularly.
Zheng Laoqi told Fang Linyan when he was on the ship that after obtaining the specific situation of Navel Village and knowing the specific strength of Hattori Kazumas, Zheng Jiaguang extended a helping hand to Navel Village.
In a place like Naanmao Village where it is difficult to communicate with the outside world and life is very difficult, it is difficult to refuse the olive branch extended by a wealthy businessman with amazing resources.
Therefore, the two parties quickly reached an in-depth cooperation. Just like this port, which is usually used by Naanmao Village to sell contraband and smuggling, it can be called the lifeline of the place. It is also open to Zheng Laoqi and others.
.
After a group of people lined up to disembark, they quickly followed a narrow path to the nearby hillside. From here, they could see the general situation of Naanmao Village. There is no doubt that the moment they boarded here, Mr. Zheng
Qi's eyes immediately went dark!
Because it can be seen that billowing black smoke has poured out of Navel Hair Village, and several houses have been set on fire. Bodies can be seen everywhere on the roads in the village. It can be described as a river of blood. Ronin
, the army was now mixed into a group, and was carrying out brutal house-breaking and looting.
Such a tragic situation made Zheng Laoqi fall to his knees on the ground and burst into tears:
"Master!
master!
I can't help you, it's still too late after all..."
Zheng Laoqi was an out-and-out loyal servant. When he cried, he beat his chest and even hit his head on the stone next to him. In an instant, he was covered in blood, and the other Russians were suddenly moved when they saw it.
But at this time, Bliss, who had returned from observing the enemy's situation, curiously asked Fang Linyan:
"Hu, what is this compatriot of yours doing? Why is he so sad and even doing such self-harm?"
Fang Linyan said:
"He risked his life to come to me to rescue his master, but now it seems that his master in this village is in serious danger."
Bruce said:
"Oh, but I think if his master has a high status, there is still a possibility of living."
When Fang Linyan heard this, he immediately became energetic and said:
"How can I see it?"
Bruce directly handed over his monocular telescope and said:
"Although the village has been captured, you see, the battle is obviously not over on the side near the mountain. Someone is besieging there, and there are sporadic gunshots. The smoke is mainly diffused from that side."
Zheng Laoqi also stopped crying at this time and looked over in surprise.
Fang Linyan picked up the telescope and peered for a while, then waved to Zheng Laoqi and said solemnly:
"I think Mr. Bliss is right. If I remember correctly, that direction seems to be a forbidden area in Navel Hair Village. I was stopped when I wanted to go there."
Zheng Laoqi immediately took the telescope, looked over there, and shouted excitedly:
"I know! There is a cave in the village. They call it Gui Hata. When the Navel Hair Village was first established, someone who was seriously ill would be carried inside to wait for death, so there were strange stories later.
appeared, saying that there was an ominous cry coming from it."
"However, as the conditions of the people in the village stabilized, no one had been carried into this cave for more than ten years. So after we made good relations with Naanmao Village, the owner put some valuable goods that could not be exposed to rain.
Go inside."
"This ghost cave is winding and winding, with a depth of more than a hundred meters. The spacious place inside can accommodate more than a hundred people, but the narrow place can only allow two people to pass side by side, and they need to bend down to walk, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
, the owner of the family must have hidden inside."
Hearing what Zheng Laoqi said, Fang Linyan also breathed a sigh of relief. The Zheng family was still very important to him at this time. With the help of these local snakes, the expeditionary force could do more things in Nagasaki.
.
After some exchanges with Mr. Burius, the Russian mercenaries who came together were divided into five platoons, and then surrounded the Navel Village in a fan shape. The number of people in each platoon was about thirty.
The ones who came to Japan this time were the elite Cossacks sent by Russia, so there were five to eight grenadiers in each platoon, with strong assault capabilities.
Obviously, at this time, the people brought by Dongxiangjing were either looting in Naimao Village, or they gathered near Gui Hatao, trying to gnaw off this hard bone, and they did not guard against being outflanked on the back road.
question.
After all, in their judgment, the incoming group of damn Russians would definitely be attracted by the prosperity of Nagasaki and plunder wildly there. How could they trek through the difficult mountain roads of the Nagasaki District forty to fifty years to get to Navel Village?
Is this a place where birds don't poop?
You know, even most of the Nagasaki natives don't know about the existence of this ghost place.
So the Russians' intrusion, in Bleus's words, was like a red-hot table knife cutting into solidified butter. It can be said that there was no suspense.
The sound of gunshots and grenades suddenly rang out loudly. The group of people brought by Dongxiangjing were really stunned by the sudden attack. It can be said that they were killed and wounded in a mess. It took a while before a group of people were organized to try to fight back.
This group of people should be Dong Xiangjing's confidants, the core force that brings them together!
Among this group of people, there were many ronin with samurai swords and strong skills. They also had enough experience in dealing with bullets. They first ambush behind the bunker and let their teammates shoot at the enemy with muskets. When the Russians shot, they
He rushed out suddenly.
And their charging posture is also very special:
Some people rush forward with their heads down and their center of gravity so low that it seems like they are moving forward close to the ground.
Some people often change directions without warning when sprinting, and kick up a lot of khaki sand under their feet...
These little tricks are really quite useful. During the sprint, only two or three of these ronin were hit by bullets, and the rest were unharmed.
Obviously, once they rush into the musketeers, these warriors who are good at hand-to-hand combat will set off a terrifying bloody storm! Then the rest of Dong Xiangjing's men will take advantage of the chaos and rush in, and they may really overturn the situation.
Unfortunately, just when these ronin thought they were about to show off their skills, a grenade flew towards them!
This is the special unit at this time: the grenadiers take action.
A loud "boom, boom, boom" sound was heard, and a series of explosions sounded in front. The range damage of the grenades made the dodge of these guys almost meaningless. Even if they were not killed, they were still dizzy.
This round of grenade explosions inflicted heavy damage on the Ronins, killing at least one-half of them and injuring them.
However, the remaining ronin were still very tenacious and crazy. As they continued to rush forward, they were shouting wildly:
"Gentlemen, we will die on the road to charge!
"
"The enemy has no follow-up means, and we will drain their blood immediately."
"Ojima-kun and Kenwen-kun have become gods, we must not lose to them!
"
"..."
However, when they took a few steps forward, they discovered that a dozen burly figures emerged from the smoke in front of them. These were Cossack grenadiers!
These guys are usually equipped with a good sword and a hatchet, a musket on their body, and their pockets are stuffed with grenades.
Grenadiers play an important role as "pioneers" in the offensive and defensive battles of fortresses and strongholds, so they have a high status in the army, so they are all selected elites.
Therefore, these Japanese thought that they would face the musketeers and start a massacre next, but they were totally wrong. The Cossack grenadiers would teach them a lesson with hatchets and double-edged swords!
***
Soon, a short but fierce battle ended,
There is no doubt that the winner belongs to Fang Linyan and the others.
However, even Bleus admitted with a solemn face that Dong Xiangjing and his group were opponents worthy of respect, because even though they entered the battle with exhausted troops, they still caused considerable losses to the Russians.
You know, the people in Dongxiangjing are out-and-out tired soldiers.
When they attacked Navel Village, they were troubled by various traps laid by the ninjas headed by Hattori Kazumasushi. Moreover, Navel Village was also a stronghold of the resistance organization, and the remnants and die-hards of the shogunate were gathered in it.
It's a small portion, and it's quite laborious to chew it hard.
Just as Bleus climbed onto the rock next to him again and looked at the battlefield with his binoculars, two Japanese suddenly stood up from the grass more than 40 meters away, raising their guns and firing at him at the same time!
Fortunately, Burius is also a senior officer. It is said that he participated in the Russo-Turkish War in 1877 and the Turkmen War in 1880. It can be said that he has very rich battlefield experience, so he simply rolled down the rock and escaped.
This time there was a shooting.
However, this assassination attempt on him was directly Dong Xiangjing's final counterattack. It could be said that it was a chain of links that had been discussed long ago, and it was definitely not that simple.
The next second, a black-clothed ninja jumped down from the big tree next to Bleus. The ninja drew his sword directly in mid-air and fell down!
His sword fell straight down with the force of a leap, and its power could be said to have gained an astonishing increase. When Bleus rolled down in embarrassment before, his head directly hit the ground, and his head was probably buzzing at this time.
Hibiki, where do you have time to deal with this fatal knife?
