A knife in love

Chapter 2634
Qi Jiu has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his father taught him his light kung fu.The Qi family's ancestral martial arts are completely different from the martial arts handed down from generation to generation by the martial arts school. They don't pay attention to close combat, but evolved from the kung fu of spears and halberds commonly used in battle.In terms of fist and foot kung fu alone, the moves are opened and closed, while the light kung fu is simple and unpretentious, it looks clumsy, but it is actually very practical.Although Wang Xiaoyu ran for more than ten steps first, after a few ups and downs, Qi Jiu had already snatched her side, saying: "The ones who escaped are all officers, soldiers, policemen on official missions and righteous people, they are not chasing and killing us. The Japanese pirates, Miss Wang, don't be reckless!"

At this time, Wang Xiaoyu also saw clearly that the group of people running over were not Japanese pirates, and she was slightly taken aback. Hearing Qi Jiu's reminder beside her, she couldn't help but stop, staring at the people who had fled in a hurry, bah With a groan, he said bitterly: "These bastards are running away, all of them deserve to die. Even if I kill them all, it's not killing people randomly, but doing justice for the heavens!"

When Wang Xiaoyu said this, he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but frowned, and then said: "It's strange, just now they fled back to the city first, and it stands to reason that they would have dispersed a long time ago, each looking for a safe place to hide Get up. But it happened to fall behind us, and it looks like a mess, it seems that it has suffered a lot."

At this time, Qi Jiu was not as flustered as he was just now. After listening to Wang Xiaoyu, he interjected: "I think the Japanese pirates will not only attack the North City, but attack the city from all directions. After these guys escaped from the city wall, most likely It was only in this embarrassment when I encountered Japanese pirates who invaded the city from other city gates and was intercepted and killed by Japanese pirates."

As soon as Qi Jiu finished speaking, the group of people had already fled in front of the two of them.Seeing the terrified expressions of this group of people, Qi Jiu knew that they had been frightened by the Japanese pirates, and only wanted to escape as far as possible.If he and Wang Xiaoyu stood in front of them, they would have to be trampled to death by these frightened birds.Thinking of this, Qi Jiu hurriedly grabbed Wang Xiaoyu's left arm, pulled her to the left side of the street, and quietly watched the crowd running southward.Everyone was only concerned with escaping, thinking that Qi Jiu and Wang Xiaoyu were also fleeing civilians, they didn't pay attention to them at all, they just ran forward desperately.

Wang Xiaoyu despised these deserters very much, and wished he could slash and kill them with his sword.It's just that Qi Jiu had been on guard for a long time, and held her left arm with his left hand, not daring to let go.Wang Xiaoyu said bitterly: "There are 300 of these guys together. If everyone works together, although we can't defeat the Japanese pirates, we won't be in such a mess. Why are we Han people so useless and can only let the Japanese pirates slaughter us? "

Qi Jiu shook his head and said in his mouth: "The imperial court has been in peace for a long time, and it will lose all its vigor, and it is worried that the people will cause chaos, so it has to be more fettered to suppress the martial arts of the people. After more than a hundred years, the people are like lambs, and they can only be bullied. Moreover, the imperial court not only suppressed the rule of law, but also took precautions against military generals and restricted them everywhere. After seven to eighty years, the generals and soldiers also lost their masculinity and martial spirit, otherwise it would not be possible for dozens of Japanese pirates to kill hundreds of officers and soldiers. You have to flee in defeat."

When Qi Jiu said this, he paused for a while, seeing the crowd running away from him, and then continued: "The imperial court is also in a dilemma. If the people and the soldiers are brave and fierce, then the arrogant soldiers and the arrogant When the common people make troubles, not only the tail will not be lost, but also the danger of overthrow. Therefore, after Emperor Yongle, the court changed the plan of civil and military checks and balances at the beginning of the founding of the country, and changed it to use civil to control military. This is also a matter of no choice. Officers and soldiers have no fighting spirit, let alone these ordinary people? If you expect them to be able to pick up swords and guns and fight Japanese pirates to the death after a few days of training, it is tantamount to nonsense."

After Qi Jiu finished speaking, the group of deserters finally ran past the two of them.He glanced at Wang Xiaoyu, and then said: "The Japanese pirates chasing and killing these people are coming in no time. Let's rush to the county magistrate's office as soon as possible. After reuniting with Jin Yiwei, we will find a way to fight out of the city and join forces with Brother Li and Miss Murong. Fight the Japanese pirates."

Wang Xiaoyu nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly he heard exclamations.Her heart trembled, and she turned her head to look, only to see the group of people who had fled just now had fled back again.Qi Jiu was also terrified, not knowing what happened, and hurriedly stood in front of Wang Xiaoyu, holding the spear with both hands, and staring forward.

At this time, the surrounding flames were raging, and a pillar of fire rose not far from the southeast to the sky.Under the light of the fire, I saw those deserters fleeing northward in a panic.A moment later, another larger pillar of fire shot straight into the sky not far from the south, and the light quickly spread to the surroundings, illuminating the surrounding area with light.Qi Jiu clearly saw hundreds of people scrambling to escape, and not far behind them, a group of black armored warriors appeared.These black-armored warriors lined up in a square formation and were slowly advancing forward.

Only then did Qi Jiu know that the Japanese pirates had closed the street and cut off the way to escape to the south, and everyone fled back in embarrassment.He thought to himself, these guys were really scared out of their wits.Obviously being chased here by the Japanese pirates, and met another team of Japanese pirates blocking the way, panicked and fled back the way they came, but forgot that there were pursuers behind them.Fleeing in such a panic, they lost all fighting spirit. When the Japanese pirates surrounded them, they could only let the Japanese pirates slaughter them.

Thinking of this, Qi Jiu couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Wang Xiaoyu in a low voice: "Miss Wang, you stay here and don't move. Go down and stop these deserters, maybe it will be of great use!"

After Qi Jiu finished speaking, without waiting for Wang Xiaoyu to answer, he strode to the middle of the street, stopped in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic, I have something to say!"

At this time, everyone had already fled to the front, suddenly saw someone standing in front of them, thinking that the Japanese pirates had already been killed, they all stopped in fright.It's just that hundreds of people are desperately fleeing, and it is more difficult to stop immediately than to reach the sky.I saw the crowd huddled together, and many people were knocked to the ground.It wasn't until someone recognized Qi Jiu and yelled "It's Commander Qi who has arrived", that the panicked crowd stopped.

Qi Jiu held the spear upside down in his right hand, and said loudly: "The Japanese pirates have surrounded us here, no matter where we go, we can't escape their murderous hands!"

When Qi Jiu said this, he pointed with his left hand to the corpses of the common people scattered all over the ground, and then said: "These common people died in a miserable state. Everyone has seen it with their own eyes. Maybe your parents and wives are among them. Fighting to the death can only lead to such an end in the end. If you run away, you will definitely die, but if you fight, you may still have a chance! Do you want to let the Japanese pirates kill you, or do you want to fight to the death to avenge your parents and wives?!"

After Qi Jiu finished speaking, the crowd was silent, and after a while, someone said in a trembling voice: "Those, those people are all evil spirits, we can't win at all. If we still resist, I'm afraid the death will be even more miserable..."
