Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 455 449. Fight
"Humph."

Feng Xi was not a good-tempered person. He put down the iron horn in his right hand and hung it back on the saddle. He took out his crossbow and took aim. Then he shot an arrow at the person who had just been lying on the roof and shooting at him.

"Uh……"

The arrow from the crossbow made a sharp whistling sound in the air and pierced through the man's throat before he could react.

"Army, prepare."

Feng Xi is not as serious in Japan as he was when he was in the Han Dynasty. His idea towards these Japanese people is that they can survive if they are sensible, but if they are not, don't blame them for being rude.

Following Feng Xi's order, the Han army soldiers subconsciously raised their weapons and adjusted themselves to a state of readiness for battle.

The fact that the Grand Commander was shot by an arrow just now already made them furious. These ungrateful barbarians attacked without saying a word, making the Han army, which already had little good feelings towards them, even more disgusted with them.

"I'll give you three seconds. If your king doesn't come out to explain this matter, don't blame me for being ruthless."

This time, Feng Xi was too lazy to even use the loudspeaker. He continued to speak in Chinese, not caring whether the other party could understand him or not, and started counting directly.

"Three, two, one, release."

Feng Xi counted to three slowly, then waved his hand. The Han soldiers beside him raised their crossbows and fired a wave of arrows directly at the Japanese.

Although the Han army trained by Feng Xi had good discipline and never harmed the people, the other side was now armed and even attacked the enemies on their side. The Han army never had any mercy on the enemy.

In addition, the Han army was also aware that these people were strictly speaking foreigners, not of our race, and that their hearts must be different. So when they heard Feng Xi's order, they attacked without saying a word.

“Buzz—whoosh whoosh whoosh…”

"Puchi! Wow!"

"Taskket...Pfft..."

After a wave of arrow rain, none of the more than 100 Japanese soldiers were spared, and they were all shot like hedgehogs by the crossbows, and almost all of them died. There were two lucky ones who struggled and shouted twice, but they died on the spot due to excessive blood loss.

"Dear General, please wait a moment!"

When Feng Xi was waving his hand and preparing to let the Han army enter the village to search, he suddenly heard a burst of stuttering Chinese language. Feng Xi immediately waved his hand to signal the troops to take a break.

A young man, sweating profusely, was supporting a fat middle-aged man, who was running breathlessly towards here from the depths of the village.

"Ah! Naniwosita!"

As a result, when the two men ran to the village entrance and saw such a bloody scene, the young man couldn't bear it anymore and vomited directly, and the fat middle-aged man also collapsed and sat on the ground, covering his face and screaming.

Feng Xi didn't say anything. He let the two of them quarrel for a cup of tea, then rode forward.

"Enough of the trouble? You, can speak Mandarin?"

Feng Xi didn't even look at the fat middle-aged man, but looked at the young man.

"Yes... yes, this person was appointed by our Lord of Mulu himself... phew."

The young man stopped vomiting and introduced the fat middle-aged man to Feng Xi. However, before he could finish explaining the man's identity, Feng Xi stabbed the middle-aged man to death with a single shot.

"I don't care who he is, nor do I care what the ruler of your country of Mulu thinks."

Feng Xi shook the tip of his gun, his eyes full of indifference. This cold look that showed no concern for human life frightened the young man so much that he shuddered and held back the words "made in China" that he had just finished saying. He didn't care about the vomit on the ground and fell to the ground. This is their tradition on the Japanese island. Kneeling down and begging for mercy can give them a chance of survival. "Get up first and clean yourself up. Since you can speak Mandarin, you are worth living."

Feng Xi waved his hand, then continued to let the Han army enter the village, brought out all the villagers, and gave a speech.

"Boy, what's your name?"

Feng Xi looked at the young man from the Japanese island who had been following him closely ever since he had cleaned up the place just now.

"General, my name is Yasuke."

The young man lowered his head and answered.

Feng Xi nodded in understanding. Even in the Warring States period a thousand years later, these so-called "untouchables" were not worthy of having surnames, they could only have names. It was not until the Tokugawa Shogunate that surnames became truly popular.

"From now on, you will be called Hannu. It's up to you whether you want to use it as your surname or your given name. Hannu, do you know the Yamatai Kingdom?"

While the Han army was in the village gathering villagers, Feng Xi also had to learn about the local situation through this Han slave who had finally learned to speak Mandarin.

"Yes, General, thank you for giving me your surname. I have heard of the Yamatai Kingdom you mentioned, but I heard that it was a vassal state in the Central Plains..."

Han Nu knelt on the ground and answered Feng Xi's question honestly, which surprised Feng Xi. Because in the future, it was generally believed that Yamatai was either in the northeast of Kyushu or in the Kinki area where Kyoto and Nara were located. At that time, the mainstream view was Kyushu, but now it is in Kinki.

"Is that so? Then which force in Kyushu is the most powerful now?"

Feng Xi thought for a moment and then asked about the current situation of the land under his feet.

"Yes, General. Currently, besides the Mulu Kingdom, which is the most powerful in the northwest of Kyushu, there is also the Gunu Kingdom in the middle and the Touma Kingdom in the south. These three countries are the three largest forces in Kyushu."

Han Nu seemed to know the situation quite clearly, which made Feng Xi doubt his identity. An ordinary civilian probably wouldn't know so much, and he spoke fluent Chinese, which didn't seem like an ordinary person.

"Where did you learn your Mandarin?"

Feng Xi changed the topic to the Han slaves themselves.

"General, my mother is Han Chinese. Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the Han Dynasty, my mother took a boat to seek refuge in Gouye Han State. Later, people from Kyushu abducted her on the way and gave birth to me. My mother taught me Mandarin, but unfortunately she can't write it, so she can only speak it."

Hannu laughed a few times flatteringly when he said this, as if he thought this would help to bring them closer.

"That's it."

Feng Xi nodded. It was not surprising that he knew more. People who knew two languages ​​must be very popular in the local area. They often came into contact with high-level officials, so it was not surprising that they knew a little more.

"Grand Commander, the villagers have all gathered."

While Feng Xi was chatting with the Han slaves, the Han army over there also drove the villagers together and came to report.

“Are there any omissions?”

Feng Xi looked at the buildings in the village and asked Bao Yi who was standing next to him.

"General, no. As you said in the training, we searched the cellar, attic, under the stove, under the bed, under the water tank, and even under the barrel. We actually found a few children hiding there and drove them all there."

Feng Xi nodded. Some of the special training he had given the Han army on a daily basis was now useful, and it was time for him to go and see the situation of these villagers.
