A knife in love

Chapter 2797
Thinking of this, Qi Jiu couldn't bear it any longer, turned to Zhang Gui and said, "Master Zhang, the Japanese pirates are outnumbered by almost ten times as many as us. If you want to fight with your back, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop the Japanese pirates." Why don't we take advantage of the Japanese pirates being forced to retreat by the barbarians, and retreat back to Dongliao County along the way we came, join the barbarian horse army led by Dalian, and then try to deal with the Japanese pirates..."

Before Qi Jiu finished speaking, Zhang Gui sneered and said, "Your opinion is ridiculous! There are only 5000 Japanese pirates here, and they are not elite soldiers. What can I do? Don't forget that tens of thousands of Japanese pirates were defeated. We are retreating here. If we retreat in a hurry, we will definitely meet these defeated soldiers on the way. At that time, there will be no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. It is better to stick to this place. Even if the Japanese pirates retreat to the seaside, most of them just think about Fleeing onto the warship, we have no intention of fighting with us at all. Let's recharge our batteries here, and when most of the Japanese pirates have escaped onto the warship, we will suddenly rush out and intercept the Japanese pirates who have not yet boarded the ship. I don’t care about the defeated Japanese pirates on the shore. In this way, we can drive the Japanese pirates away from Dongliao County, and even if we can’t completely wipe out the Japanese pirates, we will still have an answer to the court.”

Qi Jiu heard Zhang Gui's words were perfect, although he was surprised and doubtful, he couldn't refute it.I only heard Zhang Gui continue to say: "I know that you thought that after you escaped along the way and joined up with Darian's men, you could deal with the Japanese pirates calmly. But you don't know that Darian is a cunning person, and he has already harbored evil intentions. Over the years, he has been recruiting soldiers everywhere, hiding weapons privately, ready to make a move, and wants to dominate the outside of the customs like the Wanyan family did in the past, and then march into the Central Plains, to dominate the world. But he has been forbearing and has not made trouble, just because he is afraid of the elite soldiers under Lao Tzu. If we escape along the way we came, even if we can fight our way out of the tens of thousands of defeated Japanese pirates and escape back to Dongliao County, and meet up with Dalian. This bastard is nothing to worry about seeing the heavy casualties of the officers and soldiers under Lao Tzu. He will have a different intention and find a way to kill Lao Tzu, except for his confidant. Instead of running away in embarrassment and finally letting Darian get a big deal, it is better to stay here and form a defense. Barbarians and Japanese pirates are suspicious people, see If we stand still, we will become suspicious and dare not make any rash moves!"

Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu and the others heard Zhang Gui's words, and they all thought in their hearts that this person seems to be rude, but he is actually very shrewd.He had already guessed the plans of the barbarians and Japanese pirates fairly closely. Although it was not right to take risks a few times, considering the current situation, he could only act according to his ideas.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu looked at each other, but neither spoke.

At this time, the sound of cannons was suddenly heard again, and the flames flickered on the sea surface, and countless fireballs rose from the sea surface and flew straight to the shore.When the fireball rose, it illuminated the coast and the sea, and everyone realized that the sea not far from the shore was full of warships, almost covering the sea.Many small boats went back and forth between the big ship and the coast, and were transporting the pirate soldiers on the big ship to the coast.

Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng was shocked. He thought to himself that the Japanese pirate leader had brought all his troops to the foot of Old Man Mountain, but unexpectedly there were still many Japanese pirates left on board.Fortunately, this is not a wharf, and the big ship cannot dock, so the pirates on the big ship can only be transported to the shore by small boats.Otherwise, if the Japanese pirates disembarked from the big ship together, Zhang Gui and his group would have already become the ghosts of the Japanese pirates.

While Li Qiufeng was thinking, more than a hundred projectiles fired from the cannons on the Japanese warships had already landed on the coast.With the torch in the hands of the Japanese pirates and the light of dozens of fires on the coast, many bullets can be seen falling into the barbarian army that is chasing and killing the defeated Japanese pirates.Only the neighing and screaming of horses could be heard, and many barbarian soldiers were hit by bullets, and they fell to the ground with their horses.There were also many Japanese pirates and soldiers mixed in among the barbarian horse troops, and quite a few were killed by bullets.

Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu, Jin Yulou, Zhang Gui and others saw that the Japanese pirates bombarded the barbarian horse army on the shore with cannons, and they did not hesitate to kill the Japanese pirate soldiers who were entangled with the barbarians. figure!When the situation was critical, he did not hesitate to blow up his soldiers to get out of the predicament.As the saying goes, kindness does not command soldiers, this person can make such decisive decisions without losing the style of a famous general.Fortunately, this person was not familiar with the topography of Dongliao County, so he suffered a big loss at the foot of Old Man Mountain.If he is allowed to station troops in Dongliao County for a few days, we are definitely not his opponents.

Seeing that the Japanese pirates on the warship had blown up many of their accomplices on the shore with cannons, Wang Xiaoyu was overjoyed, and turned to Murong Danyan and said, "The Japanese pirates were so frightened that they lost their minds, they were afraid that the barbarians would attack the warship, so they fired cannons indiscriminately." , killed many accomplices, really self-inflicted, can't live!"

Murong Danyan listened to Wang Xiaoyu's words, but did not answer, he thought to himself, Zhang Gui is cunning and vicious, he is not a good person, but he is really good at leading troops and fighting.If he hadn't asked us to retreat more than a hundred feet back, the cannons fired from the Japanese warships would have blown us up.Presumably, the Japanese pirate warship had already calculated it, and wanted to take advantage of our gathering together, and suddenly fired a cannon to kill us.Finally, Zhang Gui wasn't too bad, and he brought us along when he retreated.If he suddenly became malicious and left us there, I'm afraid that we, like the barbarians, would all die under the cannons of the Japanese pirates.

The crowd watched helplessly as the cannons on the Japanese pirate warship fired projectiles continuously, blowing up the barbarians and Japanese pirates on the shore into a panic. They had their own thoughts, and no one said a word.At this time, the Manzi and the Japanese pirates were seriously injured by the cannon blast, and escaped desperately if they were lucky enough to survive.All the barbarians rode their war horses, turned their horses and fled northward. When they got close to Li Qiufeng and others, only seventy or eighty of the two hundred barbarians remained.These barbarians all knew Zhang Gui and knew that he was the leader of the officers and soldiers, so when they saw Zhang Gui, they immediately reined in their mounts, rolled off their saddles one after another, and saluted Zhang Gui.Zhang Gui nodded, and with a light wave of his right hand, an officer and soldier came out, walked up to the barbarian sergeant, and mumbled a few barbarian words.After hearing this, the barbarian soldiers nodded one after another, led their mounts to the right of Zhang Gui and the others, and then stopped to rest.

Not long after the barbarian sergeants returned, more than a dozen Japanese pirates ran around in panic, and even fled to the crowd.Seeing this situation, Zhang Gui waved his right hand, and Li Chengliang rushed up with dozens of officers and soldiers, killing more than a dozen Japanese pirates in an instant like chopping melons and vegetables.After Li Chengliang and the officers and soldiers returned, the barbarian sergeants saw that the officers and soldiers had not cut off the heads of the Japanese pirates they had killed. The head was chopped off.It's just that there were only a dozen corpses, but there were 80 to [-] barbarians, and no one was willing to give in, and they started pushing and shoving each other.After a while, several barbarian soldiers were squeezed out of the crowd. Furious, they punched and beat their accomplices. In the end, seventy or eighty barbarian soldiers fought in one place, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
