Chapter seventy two

The September autumn rain mixed with the strong wind, beating Kawaharada's face. Yuling Island in the distance was just a shadow in the rain and fog. Around him, several Soren barbarians were cleaning up the bows and arrows with birch bark bow bags to avoid being wet by the rain, while several North Korean soldiers were muttering words to curse the damn weather.

"I hope there will be no problems with these broken ships." Kawaharada Hoe-ei prayed devoutly.

After taking the mission at Li Mingxun that day, Kawaharada Uei led the conquest of Yuling Island. The White Falcon and four galleys were placed under his command. However, the soldiers sent to him were not satisfied. Fifty Han confuses were going to raid the pirates' port with the White Falcon, while the other soldiers were either Korean soldiers who surrendered or recruited barbarians. Fortunately, Kawaharada Uei was able to speak Korean and learned some Jurchen on the way to conquer Humal. Otherwise, he would not know what to do with the more than 200 people around him.

"I really envy the high-level people in the castle. At this time, they must be sleeping in the dry bed, drinking hot fish soup and eating barbecue." A North Korean muttered.

Kawaharada Hitoe glared at him and cursed a few words, but he knew in his heart that he was the one who envied the top management of the trading company the most. He had to praise Lee Myung-hoon for having good luck and did not need to let his people shed a drop of blood. Just the Koreans and the Sorens soldiers could get a big island for nothing. Even if they failed, they would not die.

However, Kawaharada Hitoe quickly covered his mouth with swearing words. He knew that at this time, the soldiers needed to see that what the soldiers needed to see was not complaining, but their passionate fighting spirit. Kawaharada Hitoe drew out his sword and shouted loudly: "You are as lowly as me. The Lord has given a chance to serve. How can we not kill ourselves to serve? The shopkeeper attaches great importance to me is meritoriousness. As long as he makes merit, money will be given to women, and we also have the opportunity to lie on a dry bed like a senior, eating delicious food! It is our honor to serve in a club that only depends on abilities and merit. Think about it, in Japan, Korea, or the Tatar country, what can you get if you make merit? Will they give you the opportunity to be noble people?"

Kawaharada's words and words are all from the heart. Everyone has seen the barbarians and foreign officials in the club, and has also heard stories from many people. Many of them are from the same origin as themselves. How can they become senior officials?

As he was speaking, the fleet was approaching Yuling Island. There was a black mountain peak in the distance, and there was no sign of human beings living in the eyes. On the other side of the mountain, there was a rumbling sound of cannons. The White Falcon was shelling the pirates' ships and camps. According to the plan formulated by Kawaharada Hiewe, the White Falcon was just a feint attack to attract the attention of the pirates. After completing the landing, the main force assaulted the enemy from the side and back.

It was just dawn and the rain was much lighter. Kawaharada's rushing to Yuling Island was the first to jump onto Yuling Island. The seven or eight Soren soldiers came with him. He pointed to a deserted village and a jungle not far from the landing site, and said to the Soren soldiers: "You can investigate these two places separately, and you must not let the thieves interfere with our landing."

All four ships reached the shore and took half an hour to complete the landing. The supplies were transported down. A cyclone cannon and ammunition took a lot of time. Many soldiers who had not taken the sea boat collapsed directly on the ground. After confirming the safety of the surrounding area, Kawaharada Hitoe did not attack immediately, but asked someone to open the sugar cane wine he brought and distributed it to everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. It was not until noon that the small army of more than 200 people climbed over the hill in front of him.

After climbing over the mountain, Kawaharada Hiewe heard the shouts of killing from the port, while the Scout Sauron soldiers ran out of a small village at the foot of the mountain, holding three or five heads in their hands.

Yuling Island has not been inhabited on a large scale for more than two hundred years. The village has long been abandoned, but there are several newly built houses in the village, with stone walls built with very tall walls. The house is made of adobe and logs, covering thatch. There is also a well in the house and two wooden buildings at the gate. It is not so much a residence as a small fortress.

"Sir, there are a lot of things here!" A Korean soldier who kicked in the door shouted loudly.

Kawaharada Binge ran over and saw that there were stuffed stuff, bundles of Goryeo cloth, bags of rice, grain, salt and clothes. It was stolen at first sight. Kawaharada Bingeo grabbed the scout and asked, "Was there no one here when you came in?"

"There are only a few, we killed them." Sauron Bing said.

At this time, the soldiers searching around pulled out many people. These people were either tied with ropes or were unclothed women. Kawaharada Hiroe suddenly saw a person and shouted, "Sanlang, is it you?"

"Your Highness, it's Your Highness Kawaharada!" the man suddenly shouted.

Kawaharada Hiroe hugged Saburo and cried bitterly. He didn't expect his party to survive from the pirates. Looking at the others, many of them were subordinates of the original smuggling gang.

"Your Highness, Saburo deserves to die. He did not protect his highness well. He also hid his identity as a retainer of Kawaharada without dignity, pretending to be a butcher and living a life of a silence (because the Japanese Buddhist teachings are prosperous, most of the professions related to animals are cheap careers, such as butchers and cobblers). It's really worth damn!" Saburo knelt on the ground, pulled out the ribs worn by Kawaharada and was about to commit suicide, but Kawaharada Hirou grabbed his hand.

"As the master, I can only jump into the sea to survive. What qualifications do I have to ask you to be loyal? Saburo, everyone, now I have led a large army to take revenge. Let him go over the past things!" Kawaharada Toei said sincerely.

Saburo looked at the soldiers around Kawaharada Hoi, and was extremely shocked. Although these soldiers were not as equipped as samurai, they were wearing vine armor, equipped with bows, arrows, spears and even iron cannons, which was far better than ordinary football. What's more important is that they had hundreds of people.

"Have you heard that the sound of cannons in the distance was caused by the collapse of friendly forces. We can take revenge!" Kawaharada Hitoe yelled again.

"Sir, hurry up and rush over, otherwise you will miss the opportunity to fight." A impatient Korean soldier shouted.

Saburo also understood Korean. He said, "No, Your Highness, please listen to Saburo's words."

"Your Highness, these houses store the wealth that pirates have plundered in recent years. If we burn them, the pirates will definitely return to help. Instead of rushing to the enemy, it is better to ambush the pirates!" Saburo said loudly.

port.

The pier built by pirates and smuggling merchants was in a mess, and the few sea boats were damaged, with the screams of the wounded everywhere. The bloody smell in the air made Sasaki Shiba sneeze.

"Your Highness, our village is on fire!" A pirate ran over in anger and shouted loudly.

Sasaki Shiba glanced at him and said, "I already know."

"Then rescue it quickly!" said the pirate in a hurry.

Sasaki Shiba said: "I haven't figured out who did it, how many enemies are there, how to rescue it? Heigoro, we only have more than 500 people, and we have gone to more than 500 people, and we can't keep the port, and we can't go to less, so we may just die."

"Don't be impatient, Ranmaru will take people to see you and will be back soon." Sasaki said quickly when he saw that the people around him became more and more panicked.

Soon, a man staggered over, his stomach covered with his hands was bleeding. It was exactly what Sasaki mentioned. Sasaki's face changed slightly and he asked, "Lanmaru, what happened? Why are you the only one coming back? How many of them?"

Lan Wan's face was pale and lay on the ground. Shang Shang said in a daze: "Everyone is dead, all is dead."

Sasaki cursed, pulled Lanmaru and cursed, "You idiot, have you seen who you are?"

Ranmaru said: "It was those prisoners who broke free from the ropes and killed the guards. When I took people in for investigation, they were ambushed by them. The leader was Saburo, the one who pointed at the calloused hands and called himself a butcher... He was so powerful, he jumped out and killed the three of us..."

Soon, Ranmaru had no breath, and Heigoro shouted: "I'm going against these guys. Your Highness, let me go, kill these prisoners first, pick up the heads, and shock the enemies on the sea."

Sasaki Shiba said, "No, I'll go in person, Heigoro, the defense of the port will be free from you."

Seeing that Heigoro was in a dilemma, Sasaki Shiba hurriedly said, "I only bring one hundred people."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely guard the port for you. When you come back, you will definitely see Hiragoro's heroic figure killing the enemy!" Hiragoro went to take over the defense excitedly.

Sasaki Shinba held back his subordinates who wanted to recruit people and whispered: "It doesn't matter if we only choose the people we trust. It doesn't matter whether we have enough 100 people. If we can't win this battle, we will take back the treasure and leave. I have two ships hidden in the north, enough to go to North Korea."

After a meal, Sasaki Shinba gathered more than 80 people and quickly ran towards the north village. The village in the distance kept coming out of thick smoke. You can see from a distance that the people around you were getting faster and faster, but Sasaki Shinba's heart was no longer quiet.

This veteran who survived from the sea of ​​blood in the Warring States Period was not a rookie who had never seen blood. The closer he got to the camp, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did the group of prisoners riot so simply? How could it be so coincidental?

The crowing of a mountain eagle came from the woods beside him, but it was shrill and a little cunning. Sasaki Shiba felt a chill on his back and got goosebumps all over his body. He suddenly stopped and sniffed the air, as if he had smelled a stinky smell, as if it was the smell of a fuse, and as if it was fishy.

Sasaki Shiba looked around and saw his subordinates looking at him with anticipation and confusion, he gritted his teeth and climbed up the pine trees beside the road and looked towards the camp where several houses were burning, but Sasaki Shiba saw at a glance that it was a room where prisoners were imprisoned and dried firewood was stored. There were fires in the center of the camp, and people kept humidifying firewood. He suddenly realized that this was a trap.

In the forest, Kawaharada Hitoe looked at Sasaki Shiba looking out from the pine trees. The scar on the thief's face made him recognize it at a glance. Kawaharada Hitoe asked the Sauron archer beside him: "Can you shoot him?"

The barbarian of Soren grinned and said, "I can shoot his eye sockets without hurting his eyebrows!"

Kawahata smiled coldly: "No! Don't shoot to death, shoot him, don't let him run away!"

Whoosh!

The sound of arrows breaking through the wind sounded from Kawahata's ears, Sasaki Shiba fell from the pine tree, and his white feathers trembled on his thighs, and with a whistle, the archers hidden in the woods drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows splashed on the pirates on the road like rain.

The pirate was shot down most of the time before he could react. When he figured out the enemy's location, Kawaharada Yui had already led everyone out.

Sanlang's face changed slightly and he said apologetically: "Your Highness, Sanlang's prediction made a mistake. The thief should only send such a small amount of troops to come."

Kawaharada Hitoe had no intention of blame at all. He pointed at Shiba Sasaki who was staggering and stood up, and smiled and said, "It's enough to have him."

"Is the enemy just here to harass me? Wouldn't you give me Hiragoro a chance to make achievements?" Hiragoro in the port looked at the White Falcon cruising outside the sea and said with a little regret.

"I had known that I should have rushed to the camp. I could also kill the heads of a few bastards to make my sword sharper." Looking at the thick smoke disappearing in the distance, Hiragoro said again.

At this moment, a person came from the camp. Heigoro looked very good. At first glance, he could see that the man was wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat, with his hands tied, and he staggered towards the port. He fell several times and got up desperately.

"This is a performance arranged by Your Highness for us. Do you want to inspire our fighting spirit? Your Highness deserves the century-old martial arts inheritance, and the means of general soldiers are beyond my reach." Heigoro exclaimed in his heart, but saw the man running to him.

Heigoro saw that he twisted his body and kept whining, but there was a piece of rag in his mouth, and the smell of strong wine and oil was emitted all over his body. He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. He used a knife to lift the hat on the man's head. He saw an extremely ferocious scar. It turned out to be Sasaki Shinha. He hurriedly pulled the rag in Shinha's mouth. Sasaki Shinha shouted loudly: "Run, run..."

However, as soon as he said that, a sharp arrow broke through the wind came. Heigoro looked up and saw a rocket landing on Sasaki Shiba, instantly lit his straw coat soaked in fish oil and rum.

The flames rose into the air, and Sasaki Shiba howled and turned into a torch, dancing there, his body twisting violently, as if he was dancing.
