Chapter 438 The one-armed man in black reappears, Zhu Yuanzhang personally performs the sword, the numbers on the old man’s ghost-headed sword!

Under the dark clouds that have completely covered the sun at this moment,
All the shuttle boats have been half-stranded on the coast. From a distance, they look like stranded wooden dolphins.

But on the bows of many shuttle ships, there was a soldier whose chest was pierced by a giant arrow and his back was still in front of him.

Their backs had already been pierced by arrows like hedgehogs!
It's just that hedgehogs have hunchbacks. Even if they are killed in battle, they all sit like martial saints in temples, with their golden swords on their horses and their backs pointing to the sky.

Of course, there were also many soldiers hugging each other to stabilize their bodies.

In the end, they were also connected together by the enemy's arrows!
Now that they have completed their mission of escorting the soldiers behind them to the land battlefield, they can close their eyes and rest.

The soldiers looking towards the land of Japan had indeed closed their eyes to rest, but the soldiers looking towards Ningbo Prefecture still opened their eyes and looked at their hometown in the distance.

Although their eyes no longer have any light!
"kill!"

"Kill all these bastards!"

"Ah ah."

On the battlefield in front of them, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the sound of metal collision was like the waves, one wave higher than the other.

The sloping heavy rain prevented the blood from spreading in the air, but caused the blood to flow down each other's armors and swords, and quickly converged into thousands of blood-colored rivers on the beach, and finally flowed into the sea, making the blood-colored coastline even more blood-red.

In the eyes of the soldiers left behind in the Ming Dynasty who were standing on the deck playing drums,
Zhu Yuanzhang waved the sword in his hand, and with one strike, a Japanese slave's head fell to the ground. With a flip of his hand, another Japanese slave was disemboweled.

Xu Da and Wang Baobao went hand in hand and started a competition to kill each other.

Xu Da cut off half of the Japanese soldier's face with one strike. At the same time, he loudly said: "This is the eighth one. Which one is yours?"

After Wang Baobao pushed away the Japanese soldier's Japanese sword with one blow, he cut off the Japanese soldier's arm: "This man is not dead. He is half dead, five and a half!"

"I have been killing people on the handsome ship for so long before, but you kid can't win!"

Xu Da originally wanted to hold the knife with one hand to give in, but then he thought about it and felt something was wrong.

He was faster and his moves were more ruthless and he said: "If it were normal, I could give you a hand, but not now. Now we are killing enemies and doing business."

"I, Xu Da, am defeated for the only time in my life!"

Wang Baobao wiped the blood of Japanese slaves on his face and said: "Bah, you have the nerve to say that this is the only time you won without force. You have won without force many times."

"The key is that after you win, you still smile so damn proudly."

"Look at you now, you are smiling proudly, and the corners of your mouth are raised to the sky."

"."

And not far away from them, Mao Xiang was in a position to protect Zhu Yuanzhang's back at any time. He also struck one at a time, and also hit the vital points with his moves.

The key point is that none of the Japanese soldiers who were hit by him died immediately. They all lost their combat effectiveness, but they did not die immediately. They had to endure pain for a long time before they died.

But just when they were killing the enemy, Yamamoto Kazuki gritted his teeth in anger as he looked at them.

"Is this the naval melee strength of Rice?"

"The hand-to-hand combat we are so proud of actually turned out to be"

They have their reasons for saying that they are proud of hand-to-hand combat.

In fact, they had already started collecting information about Ming Dynasty.

They know that coal-based iron-making began in the Central Plains a long time ago. Although they do not know that the high sulfur content in coal-based iron-making makes weapons easy to break, they also know that the Central Plains' weapons are not lacking in output for them. , but lacks quality.

And their Japanese swords not only originated from Tang Hengdao, but also learned the forging technology of Tang Hengdao, using charcoal to make iron, plus manual folding and repeated forging!

This kind of knife forging technology can maximize the toughness and rigidity of their Japanese swords.

Although the output cannot increase, it is enough for their military strength!
But they never expected that these Ming navy officers, whether it was the blue cloth-covered rivet armor on their bodies or the standard Ming knives in their hands, were all very good.

Although the armor's defensive power cannot be compared with that of the Northern Army's cavalry armor, it cannot be fatal with one or two sword strikes.

The same goes for these standard Ming knives, and their performance is even better than their Japanese knives.

Yamamoto Kazuki didn't understand, how could these Ming Dynasty weapons and armor forged with coal perform so well?
Not only were they weapons and armor, but these were actually the Southern Army of the Ming Dynasty whose combat effectiveness was weaker than that of the Northern Army of the Ming Dynasty. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Navy formed by the Ming Dynasty were also obviously better than their armies in hand-to-hand combat skills.

You must know that they are both regular Japanese troops and Japanese pirates, samurai who made their fortune by hand-to-hand combat!
Yamamoto Kazuki looked at everything in front of him and secretly resented: "Didn't I say that Lord Ye's army is the strongest among the local armies of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Master Ye is here to help us!"

"How could the Northern Dynasty invite such a powerful army?"

"Which coastal army are they from?"

"Are our spies for a living?"

"."

Thinking of this, Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes immediately lit up, and then he nodded with a sneer and said: "He is a man who eats dry food!"

"Unexpectedly, he didn't even find out Ye Qing's plan to eat the Northern Dynasty and then the Southern Dynasty!"

Yamamoto Kazuki finally realized the truth!

However, looking at the scene in front of him, he already knew that it was too late.

What he can do now is to die on the battlefield and be loyal to his Majesty the Ghost Emperor.

He just looked around and locked his eyes on Zhu Di.

In the eyes of Yamamoto Kazuki, a young general wearing gilt and bright silver armor was killing their Japanese soldiers with a Tang Hengdao.

Due to the dark clouds in the sky and the heavy rain ahead, his vision was blurred, so that he recognized Zhu Di as Ye Qing!

In his opinion, this young general whose martial arts skills were obviously weaker than other veteran generals, but whose armor and weapons were of extremely high standard, was Ye Qing!

Ye Qing even hid the truth from them, and it was normal to hide the fact that he knew martial arts.

However, even if he knew martial arts, his martial arts skills were not very good, just below Yamamoto Kazuki's level.

"Bagamono (bastard)!"

"Watanabe, that man is their real marshal. If we capture him alive, we will have a chance."

The deputy general who was called Watanabe and had a moon-shaped hair with a melon skin looked at Zhu Di and yelled: "Hi!"

The next moment, they organized several people and rushed towards Zhu Di.

And at this moment,
Zhu Di was already a little exhausted, but he still held the knife in both hands and his eyes were burning.

At this moment, he never thought that he was a prince. He was just a soldier of the Ming Dynasty fighting the Japanese pirates with everyone.

"There are only Zhu family members who died in the battle, but no Zhu family members who fell."

"I must be worthy of the armor given to me by Master, which embodies the will of the Tang Dynasty."

Thinking of this, he looked at the personal seal of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin on the mirror, as well as the words 'Emperor's Gift' on the Tang Hengdao in his hand.

In his opinion, it was completely unimportant whether this set of armor and this Tang Hengdao were actually gifted by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Because he, Zhu Di, is their descendant, he should uphold their will!
Thinking of this, Zhu Di had in his mind the portrait of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty in the Imperial Temple, the portraits of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the historical materials, and the portraits of the generals of the past dynasties in the Martial Temple.

"I am the son of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, a disciple of Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty, and the King of Yan, Zhu Di!"

"I will not lose to you, nor will I lose to you!"

"."

At this moment, a big man who was rare among Japanese soldiers rushed towards Zhu Di with a Japanese sword.

Zhu Di looked at the big Japanese soldier, frowned slightly, then rushed towards him with a knife in both hands.

Zhu Di did not choose to block hard, but used skill to pass by with his knife, and then used his body skills to bypass him from the side. At the same time, he turned around and slashed his back with a knife.

The next moment, the big Japanese soldier burst forward with blood and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, another Japanese soldier jumped into the air and struck Zhu Di vertically like he was chopping firewood.

Zhu Di held the knife in both hands to block, but at the same time, his knees became weak because of the powerful and heavy blow.

But he still shouted loudly, stretched out the enemy's Japanese sword with all his strength, and then slashed diagonally, disemboweling the Japanese soldier on the spot!
At this moment, he heard the sound of chains coming from behind again.

When he turned around, he saw an iron chain lying in front of him, and two Japanese soldiers pulled the iron chain against each other and entangled him in it.

"Ah ah!"

Zhu Di shouted loudly, grabbed the iron chain with one hand, pulled hard, and cut his throat with a knife at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and drew his sword with another move, killing another Japanese soldier holding an iron chain.

Before Zhu Di could take a breath, four large Japanese soldiers rushed towards him from four directions at the same time.

Although Zhu Di successfully killed one Japanese soldier, he was still squeezed in by three Japanese soldiers.

At this moment, Yamamoto Kazuki and Watanabe walked towards him with angry eyes.

Zhu Di looked at this scene and immediately understood their intentions.

"Catch me alive?"

"I understand, my armor is so eye-catching!"

When Zhu Di thought of this, he immediately remembered what his master Ye Qing said to him when he presented the armor to him.

Ye Qing asked him if he could bear the weight of this armor?

He now understood that the weight of this armor not only refers to the will of the ancestors, but also to the matching martial arts.

It is said that thousands of troops avoid white robes. That is because white-robed generals like Xue Rengui are invincible, so they dare to wear such eye-catching armor on the battlefield!

"I,"

"I can handle it!"

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and used all his strength to break away from the three Japanese soldiers who were resisting him, and killed one of them with a knife.

But at this moment, Yamamoto Kazuki's deputy, Watanabe, jumped into the air and kicked his legs towards him.

There is no karate in Japan yet, but this move is a later classic karate kick, which originated from the "North Kick" of the northern Chinese martial arts!
This kick, which was created by Chinese martial artists after seeing the horse kicking, was used by the Japanese pirates to kick the Ming prince in the chest.

Just as Zhu Di was about to fly out, a black figure quickly appeared in Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes.

The right arm of this black figure is empty, and the empty sleeves are still dripping while flying in the wind.

But with only his left arm, he easily caught Zhu Di's back, and used extremely gentle movements and techniques to make Zhu Di spin around in the air and stand firmly beside him.

And in front of him, there was an old-looking ghost-headed sword!

This ghost-headed sword couldn't help but have some faint rust on the blade. The white cloth wrapped around the handle was still yellow to black. Even in such a heavy rain, it couldn't be cleaned.

The black skull ghost head on the handle of the knife is even more shiny.

But the red tassel wrapped around the ghost's head is so eye-catching!
In the eyes of Yamamoto Kazuki and Watanabe, this disabled man in black with only two eyes exposed and no right arm, after stabilizing Zhu Di, picked up the ghost head sword with as many gaps as a saw.

Then, he said to Zhu Di: "It seems that you can't bear the weight of this armor. Go back and return it to your master!"

Zhu Di said in surprise: "Who are you?"

The man in black said in a rough voice: "I am your master's shadow guard. Normally you can't see me."

"Your master said that he was afraid that you would suffer losses on the battlefield, so he asked me to watch you."

"Fortunately, I caught up!"

Zhu Di patted the sand on the breast mirror and said, "Who said I couldn't carry it? I was just accidentally hit."

At this point, Zhu Di's voice became obviously softer and he felt obviously guilty.

The man in black just smiled lightly and said: "Young man, you must be brave enough to admit your shortcomings, so as not to follow your master's old path."

Zhu Di frowned and said: "My master is already young, how can he still follow the same old path?"

"This"

The man in black was at a loss for words. He just pointed the knife at Yamamoto Ikki and said, "Kill the enemy first."

Zhu Di nodded, holding the sword in both hands and said: "You only have one hand, and you are my master's shadow guard. You seem to be an expert. Please let me know!"

"By the way, can your knife work?"

"Also, what does the 'twenty-nine' carved on the blade mean?"

The man in black looked at the 'twenty-nine' mark on the sword and said, "The sword technique I will show you next is related to this number and was created specifically for killing Japanese enemies."

"Boy, watch!"

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, he rushed towards Yamamoto Kazuki not far away.

Zhu Di was first surprised by the running speed he had never seen before, and then he tried his best to keep up.

The next moment, Zhu Di and the hunted target, Yamamoto Kazuki, were both stunned.

The one-armed man in black moved forward with almost no loss of speed. Every Japanese soldier who attacked him suffered the most ugly and tragic death in the whole scene.

In their eyes, a Japanese soldier slashed at him with a knife in both hands. He just made a diagonal move from bottom to top, which not only knocked the Japanese knife away from the Japanese soldier's hand, but also scratched the Japanese soldier's leather armor and belly.

Since the gaps in the ghost head knife in his hand were as many as saw teeth, he directly pulled out the opponent's skin, flesh and intestines, and threw them into the air.

"This this"

Watching this scene, Yamamoto Kazuki felt cold sweat on his forehead mixed with the rainwater, flowing down his face.

As a martial arts practitioner, he naturally knows what kind of terrifying strength it takes to hold such a weapon to achieve the killing effect in front of him.

But the key point is that the figure of this one-armed man in black is not matched by this huge brute force!
The so-called strength as strong as an ox is nothing more than that!
