Chapter 1121 The Battle of Hangzhou

Not long after Wang Yue sent Lu Yi away, Yuan Jinxia walked out from behind the screen. She said unhappily, "We can destroy the Yan family ourselves, why do you have to ask Lu Yi to help?"

Wang Yue can't tell Yuan Jinxia that Lu Yi is a person related to him, right? If this guy is killed, he will be trapped in this world.

He hugged Yuan Jinxia into his arms, then smiled and said comfortingly, "I know you are angry, but Lu Yi has always been very good to us, especially when our martial arts were low, he took great care of us. He can be considered our friend. We must give our friend a chance to change his ways. Besides, when you get revenge, you can go to Uncle Beggar for some poison and secretly poison Lu Bing to death. As long as no one can find it, it’s fine.”

Yuan Jinxia was relieved when Wang Yue said this. She had been avoiding Lu Yi for a while, but she hadn't figured out how to treat this former friend.

Now seeing that Wang Yue's arrangement was so secure, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with some trepidation, "Do you think the emperor will agree to rehabilitate my grandfather?"

Wang Yue didn't want to hide it from Yuan Jinxia, ​​so he sighed and said, "It's probably more difficult, so you still ask your sister Dongfang, you two just need to cooperate."

Yuan Jinxia was stunned for a while, and she asked with some confusion, "Sister Dongfang is not short of money either. I have seen the ship that Sister Dongfang shipped to Ryukyu, but it was full of gold, silver and jewelry."

Wang Yue helplessly touched Yuan Jinxia's little head, and then explained patiently, "I'm talking about a pistol. I will give you some more powerful drawings in the future, and you can make some more powerful firearms. If the emperor doesn't To rehabilitate your grandfather, ask your sister Dongfang to send some soldiers and horses to break the Forbidden City with us and let the emperor issue an edict to punish himself!"

Yuan Jinxia was not interested in a lot of what Wang Yue said. She had no intention of seeking revenge against the emperor in her subconscious mind.

But he was very interested in the more powerful firearms that Wang Yue said, so he pestered Wang Yue for the blueprints.

How could Wang Yue let go of such a good opportunity? He had to take advantage of it.

So, poor Yuan Jinxia unlocked many postures in one night, and then got her favorite drawing.

In fact, the Yan family's counterattack was fast and accurate. On the second day after Wang Yue returned to Hangzhou, the Japanese pirates, who had disappeared for many days, suddenly gathered under the city of Hangzhou and launched a fierce attack on the city.

The number of Japanese pirates is only a few thousand. If they don't lead the way, they will be beaten to death without even believing that they can hide it from the eyes and ears of the heroes.

The sudden arrival of the Japanese pirates interrupted the plans of the heroes, and the Heroes Conference could only be put on hold temporarily. The first thing to do now is to repel these Japanese pirates attacking the city.

Moreover, all the soldiers guarding Hangzhou have been mobilized from the coastal towns. There are only two to three hundred soldiers available for the entire city of Hangzhou, and it is impossible to defend this huge city of Hangzhou.

Now there are only two choices left for these heroes, either to stay and fight these Japanese pirates, or to take the opportunity to escape before we are completely encircled.

At the beginning, I didn't see all the heroes relying on their martial arts skills, so they didn't take me seriously. After all, they killed many lone Japanese pirates during this period.

On the first day of the attack, the Japanese pirates saw that there were relatively few defensive soldiers in the city, so they directly attacked by force.

The soldiers could not resist, and in a short time most of them were injured, which frightened the people in the city. They were all so frightened that they closed their doors tightly and huddled in their homes like turtles, thinking that they could avoid the Japanese pirates. of poison.

Seeing this situation going on, Shaolin Fangsheng was afraid that the Japanese pirates would invade the city and harm the people, so he led his Shaolin disciples to the top of the city. Those Japanese pirates were no match for them, and they were blown off the city wall in a short while.

The disciples of Wudang Sect saw that the disciples of Shaolin had already taken action, and they couldn't help but watch, so they rushed to the top of the city.

Ning Zhongze also saw this scene. He also led the female disciples of the Hengshan Sect and rushed to the top of the city with their swords drawn.

Immediately following the disciples of Taishan from Hengshan, they all went up to kill him under the leadership of the elders in the sect.

Many martial arts masters in the city were ignited when they saw that people from these major sects were participating in the defense of the city, and they followed him up the city wall without hesitation.

The Japanese pirates who were hiding at the top of the city were no match for the martial arts masters who suddenly swarmed up the city wall. Most of them were killed or injured in a short time. Only some clever ones who took risks and jumped down the stairs were able to escape.

Seeing how easily they had taken control of the city wall, the martial arts masters shouted excitedly, and for a moment the crowd in the city was agitated.

The Japanese pirate leaders saw that the martial arts masters were too powerful, so they used fire blunderbuss without hesitation. The intensive fire blunderbuss shooting injured many martial arts masters who could not dodge.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yi hid behind the wall and slapped him hard. He cursed and said, "The Japanese pirates actually have so many firearms. This is more than the army. Old thief Yan deserves to die!"

Yuan Jinxia was staying next to Wang Yue. After listening to Lu Yi's words, she said disdainfully, "Just talking nonsense, shouldn't he have died long ago? But he is still alive and well."

Cen Fu knew that his young master was in trouble, so he immediately defended himself and said, "My young master is doing things under pressure, isn't it interesting for you to say that?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Lu Yi quickly stopped Cen Fu, and then smoothed things over and said, "We have already eliminated Yan Shifan. I thought that the Japanese pirates Yan Song, who had so many contacts, would be anxious." Those who leave traces, this is our opportunity, as long as we seize the evidence that Yan Song, the old thief, colluded with the Japanese pirates, your Majesty will kill him mercilessly no matter how much you trust him."

Wang Yue quickly comforted Yuan Jinxia and said seriously, "That will happen in the future. Our problem now is how to repel or destroy the Japanese pirates."

Lu Yi is also very helpless. It's okay for him to ask the prisoner to solve the case, but it's really embarrassing for him to lead the troops in the war.

So, he simply passed the blame very neatly and said, "Brother Wang, the problem must be that there is a plan. Why don't you speak out and I will organize the military and civilians to cooperate with you."

Wang Yue saw that Lu Yi really had no backup plan, so he stopped inking and said directly, "You also know that I have a confidante named Dongfang Bai. She is outside Hangzhou at the moment. I expect When someone attacks Hangzhou, we have already notified her and are ready for her to come to the rescue, but we need to hold on until she brings people."

Lu Yi frowned and asked with some uncertainty, "How many people can she bring? You know there are thousands of Japanese pirates outside."

Wang Yue took a deep look at Lu Yi, and then said casually, "There are more than a thousand people, right? With so many people, and the young and strong soldiers and civilians in the city, how can the city of Hangzhou be defended?" ?”

Lu Yi was relieved to see Wang Yue say this. He was really afraid that Wang Yue's confidante would bring thousands of people. If the Japanese pirates were just driven away and the Mingjiao people were let in, the gain would outweigh the loss.

While the two were talking, the Japanese pirates organized another attack. They probably got some news, and this attack became more fierce.

Because of the threat of muskets, although the various sects still organized heroes to resist, due to the fear in their hearts, the effect was not as good as before, and the Japanese pirates had once again killed them on the city wall.

At this critical moment, more than a thousand people wearing black armor suddenly appeared from behind the Japanese pirate camp in the east of Hangzhou City.

These people's martial arts were so strong that the Japanese pirates were no match for them. They were killed in a short time and the formation was in chaos, killing and injuring hundreds of people.

The Japanese pirates outside the other three city walls heard the news here and hurriedly came to the rescue, hoping to take the opportunity to surround and kill the more than a thousand reinforcements who suddenly appeared.

Discovering that the other three sides suddenly withdrew their troops, some martial arts people who stole chickens and slipped out of the city took the opportunity to escape from Hangzhou City, causing the heroes who fought bloody battles to curse uncontrollably.

The Japanese pirates didn't care about these fleeing people at all, and just accelerated towards the east gate. However, before they could reach the east gate for rescue, the more than a thousand reinforcements had already returned to the city without using ladders.

The leader of these more than a thousand reinforcements is Tong Baixiong. He is Dongfang Bai's loyal subordinate, so Dongfang Bai can rest assured that these reinforcements are led by him.

After he entered the city, he quickly found Wang Yue and bowed, and then said respectfully, "Master Wang, our leader has other things to do, so she asked me to bring these reinforcements to support Hangzhou first."

After he finished speaking, he winked at Wang Yue. The meaning was obvious. I just listened to what he said. Don't take it seriously.

Of course Wang Yue knew that not too many people could be rescued in Hangzhou this time, not only for fear of arousing the scruples of other sects, but also for fear that everyone would be trapped in Hangzhou city and be wiped out by the imperial army.

Wang Yue simply did not believe that the Ming army would miss the opportunity to annihilate the Ming religion just because Dongfang Bai's people helped defend the city.

He had already stated this when he sent someone to send a message to Dongfang Bai. Moreover, he used the iron mines that he had recently occupied to urgently ask the blacksmiths of the Jiangzuo League to make some big ones, which he had already installed on the ship. Once Jiangzuo League and Xinmingjiao troops arrive, they might be able to launch a counterattack.

The Japanese pirates didn't know what Wang Yue was thinking. Seeing that they couldn't catch up, they surrounded Hangzhou City again. Some martial arts people who didn't run far were killed on the spot by them.

Seeing these people being killed, the people in the city had no intention of rescuing them. After all, they were the ones who abandoned everyone first.

With the help of more than a thousand people, the Japanese pirates outside the city no longer posed any threat to Hangzhou City. They could only attack the city tower over and over in vain, but they could never get in.

However, because these martial arts people didn't know any battle formations at all, they could only rely on their own strength to fight the Japanese pirates, so many people were injured, and the situation was still slowly tilting towards the Japanese pirates.

However, it is not easy for the Japanese pirates to invade Hangzhou City. After all, their military strength is not an absolute advantage.

You must know that the art of war says, "If ten are to surround an enemy, if five are to attack it, if twice as many are to fight it." The Japanese pirates' strength was simply less than five times that of the defenders in the city, and it would be difficult to break through the city gate.

This lasted for three days, and at dawn on the fourth day, many soldiers suddenly appeared on the distant horizon in the southeast.

Standing on the top of the city, looking at the flags they carried from a distance, they turned out to be the team of Wu Shouxu, the governor of Zhejiang Province. He didn't know when he had arrived from the coastal towns with his troops.

At the same time, a large number of soldiers and horses came from the northwest of Hangzhou City. Judging from the flags they created, they actually belonged to the Forbidden Army.

Naturally there were martial arts people with good ears and eyes on the high tower who noticed this scene and quickly spread the good news.

For a time, the morale in the city of Hangzhou was greatly shaken. When the Japanese pirates started to be killed again, each of them seemed to be fighting for their lives. It was impossible to work too hard.

But the Japanese pirates were poured cold water on them and seemed very depressed. They all looked in the direction of their leader, obviously intending to escape.

However, the Ming army, which had been delayed for so long, could not just give up on these turtles in the urn. After a round of arrows, most of the Japanese pirates died, and the rest were evading. The cavalry had already rushed to the front of the formation.

When fighting at close range, the cavalry has a clear advantage. Even if you have a blunderbuss in your hand, you will be cut in half by the opponent's knife before you can even shoot.

There were some chivalrous people in the city. Seeing that the Japanese pirates who were so arrogant just outside the city were now being chased and chopped like chickens and dogs, they started to cheer excitedly.

Some hot-blooded people, relying on their martial arts skills, actually jumped off the city wall and took the opportunity to kill a few more Japanese pirates.

With the leadership of these people, many martial arts people jumped down and joined in the elimination of Japanese pirates.

However, the disciples of Shaolin Wudang Hengshan Taishan Hengshan Climbing Sect and more than a thousand reinforcements led by Tong Baixiong did not come forward. They were originally the main force in the suppression of Japanese pirates, so almost everyone was injured. Cleaning his wounds.

There were two waves of people attacking from the front and back, and the Japanese pirates had no chance at all. They were quickly wiped out, leaving basically no one alive.

When the last Japanese pirate fell, all the heroes in Hangzhou were excited. They were all excited about wiping out the Japanese pirates.

When they heard the cheers, the people hiding in their homes in Hangzhou City opened the doors and quietly checked to see if they had won.

When they learned that all the Japanese pirates had been wiped out, they quickly opened their doors and went to watch the excitement near the city wall.

At this time, the city gate has been opened, and everyone is ready to welcome the heroes who went out to kill the Japanese pirates, as well as the officers and soldiers into the city.

Just as everyone was cheering, the officers and soldiers suddenly took over the Japanese pirates' position and surrounded Hangzhou City again.

At the same time, many of the heroes who had just killed the Japanese pirates outside Hangzhou City, many of whom had not yet reacted, were suddenly held by officers and soldiers with knives on their necks and tied up one by one. Those who reacted quickly ran into the city.

And the cheers in the city suddenly stopped. Everyone didn't understand what was going on?

Seeing this scene, Lu Yi raised his eyebrows. He put on a brand new set of Jinyiwei clothing, and together with Cen Fu, took several Jinyiwei to the south gate of Hangzhou City.

He looked at the Ming soldiers who were slowly approaching, gathered his energy and shouted loudly, "I am Lu Yi, the Jin Yiwei, who will lead the troops? Please come and answer me?"

He shouted three times in a row, and a gap suddenly opened in the southeastern line, and a general's horse came over.

He came to a place less than a hundred meters away from the city gate. Lu Yi, who was looking at the city tower from a distance, first cupped his hands, and then said in an official tone, "I am Yu Dayong. I came to Hangzhou this time to destroy the city." Japanese pirates, the second is to find the murderer of Yan Shifan."

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and pretended to be confused and said, "Why can't I understand what General Yu said? When did Yan Shifan come to Hangzhou? Why did I never know about it?"

Yu Dayong had long expected that this would be the case. He was not anxious at all and said casually, "I don't know about this, but the emperor's life is difficult! This is what Mr. Yan Ge said to persuade your majesty. After receiving the imperial edict, I can only work hard."

Lu Yi didn't expect that the emperor was still partial to Yan Song at this time, and Xiaolan didn't deliver the news. He frowned and asked, "I wonder if General Yu can give me some time. I want to write a memorial to report to your majesty."

Yu Dayong shook his head and said helplessly, "Lu Li can naturally send someone to deliver a message, but I am receiving military orders and can only obey orders. Please don't blame me."

The reason why Yu Dayong was so polite to Lu Yi was because Yan Shifan died in Hangzhou. If Lu Yi didn't even know about Jin Yiwei's affair, then he wouldn't believe it, let alone him?

Therefore, he thought Lu Yi did a good job, but he also had no favorable impression of Jin Yiwei. It was a great honor to have Lu Yi write a memorial and send someone to deliver it.

Lu Yi knew that nothing could be done. He had no way to delay the time, so he could only say vaguely, "General Yu, please wait a moment. After I write the memorial, I will send my relatives to deliver the letter."

Yu Dayong nodded and said very seriously, "I will only give you half a stick of incense time. Once the half stick of incense time has passed, I will go to the city to pick up people. All non-Hangzhou locals will be screened by us. .”

Lu Yi was helpless. After he walked into the city, he took the pen and ink brought by Cen Fu and said to Wang Yue while writing, "What should we do now? I really didn't expect that old thief Yan Song would persuade His Majesty to send troops before Come to besiege, but unfortunately all the Japanese pirates are dead. Even if we find evidence, it will be useless."

Seeing Lu Yi's somewhat depressed look, Wang Yue stopped paying attention. He looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the east gate of Hangzhou City and said nonchalantly, "It seems that a conflict is inevitable, but who is the leader?" The final winner? It’s still hard to tell.”

Lu Yi frowned and said with some worry, "These soldiers and horses often fight against Japanese pirates. Their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. You must not be careless! All of these more than a thousand heroes cannot be lost here."
