Chapter 62 Bloody Fenglingkou (3)

Fenglingkou is an important road entering and exiting the mountains in the southern part of Shitian Mountain.

In order to effectively intercept the Ming Dynasty squad, in accordance with the order of Governor Koxi, heavy troops were sent to guard all major intersections entering and leaving Ishida Mountain.

There were about 200 Japanese troops stationed at Fenglingkou. This Japanese army was composed of iron artillery, crossbow soldiers, and foot-small soldiers.

Because Fenglingkou is flat and open, the Japanese army built three lines of defense with sandbags.

The first line of defense was guarded by thirty iron artillery soldiers; the second line of defense was fifty crossbows holding strong bows and hard crossbows; the last line of defense was composed of more than one hundred squads, each equipped with a sword and a spear.

On the three lines of defense, the specific division of labor of the soldiers is as follows: if the enemy forcibly rushed from the mountain road in front of him, the iron artillery team on the first line of defense will be shot from a long distance. Once the enemy rushed to a distance of thirty or fifty meters, if the iron gunners had no time to load the medicine, the crossbow soldiers on the second line of defense will use the crossbow in their hands to kill the enemy for the second time. If the enemy soldiers finally rushed to the front, the foot on the third line of defense will rush over and waved the Taidao spear to launch the final close-killing battle with the enemy.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the clouds and shone on the mountains that had been sleeping all night, a dilapidated ox cart came over the mountain road inside Fenglingkou.

The "squeaking" sound made by the two large wooden wheels of the ox cart sounded a little harsh on the empty mountain road in the early morning.

The handlebar of the car was a man in his forties. He was ragged, unkempt, and hunched over. He sat in front of the ox cart near the oxtail. He swayed the broken bullwhip in his hand listlessly, shouting the old cow in front of him to rush forward.

In the carriage, there were three women and a man covered with a torn quilt.

Among the three women, one is delicate and delicate, with a faint sense of heroism between her eyebrows; one looks healthy, with wide eyebrows and big eyes; the other is tall and elegant.

"God, my miserable husband, why did you leave us orphans and widows? My poor child lost his father at a young age. Oh! God, why are you so blind!" The woman with wide eyebrows and big eyes sitting on the ox cart wearing white gauze, crying loudly while muttering.

Seeing someone coming out of the mountains, the Japanese army guarding at Fenglingkou immediately became alert. The iron gunners loaded the bullets, the crossbowmen used arrows to drive the crossbows, and the light soldiers all held their spears and waved their swords and arranged their formations.

When the ox cart approached, they saw that it was a broken ox cart that was pulling three crying Korean women and the Japanese soldiers on the first line of defense. They relaxed their vigilance and put down their raised iron cannons one after another.

Slowly, the ox cart came closer.

"What are you doing? Accept the inspection!" A Japanese translator held two portraits in his hand and ordered loudly in a not-so-fluent Korean dialect.

The two portraits are the pictures of Ye Ruliu and Shi Lang.

The ox cart was parked in front of the first line of defense of the Japanese army.

"Dear soldiers, my little woman is so destined. My miserable husband went to the mountain to hunt yesterday and didn't go home for a night. Who knew that he was bitten to death by a poisonous snake? So, the three of us sisters had to send him back to his hometown for burial. Oh, do you think my life is so destined?" The woman with wide eyebrows and big eyes complained to the Japanese translator while crying.

"Where is his...home?" asked the Japanese translator.

"It's in Konoha Village, five or six miles away. He is our son-in-law." The woman with wide eyebrows and big eyes replied crying.

After hearing the woman's crying, the Japanese military interpreter was still a little suspicious. He walked to the handlebar-style standing on the side with a hunched body, circled around him, and then suddenly grabbed the handlebar-style beard with his hands.

The handlebar style was suddenly panicked and protected the goatee on his chin with his hands.

"What are you doing?" the translator asked, letting go of his hand and staring at the handlebar-style eyes.

"Ahhhh..." The handlebar danced and babbled.

"Oh, Jun Ye, he is a mute, the handlebar type of our family hired to drive ox carts." said the elegant woman.

"Are you..." the Japanese translator looked at the three women in front of him and asked.

"We are three sisters, and the one wearing white veil is my elder sister, and this one is my sister." The elegant woman replied.

"Three sisters..." The Japanese military translator held the portrait in his hand and stared at the three women one by one.

"Why do I think you look so familiar?" The Japanese military translator walked to the beautiful woman, holding the portrait in hand, and repeatedly compared it.

The woman glanced at the portrait in the other person's hand, and saw that the other person kept looking at him, she quickly lowered her head, covered her face with her sleeves, and cried.

"Who is you lying in the car?" the Japanese translator asked the woman who was crying with her head down.

"Woo, woo..." Facing the other party's question, the woman did not answer. She covered her face with her hands and cried loudly.

"My little sister is afraid of seeing strangers. Jun Ye, didn't you tell you just now? My husband is lying in this car, so he is naturally my little sister's elder brother-in-law." The woman wearing white veil quickly walked to the Japanese army translator and smoothed out the situation for her younger sister.

"Brother-in-law, you died so miserably! My eldest sister is so desperate!" The elegant woman also started crying loudly when she saw her younger sister crying.

"Okay, stop howling. It's early in the morning, people are upset by crying." The Japanese translator walked to the car impatiently.

"I was bitten to death by a snake..." The Japanese military translator gently lifted the dirty quilt with the horse whip in his hand.

Seeing a handsome man lying under the quilt with his eyes closed, the Japanese military translator put his face close to the man, wanting to see what was going on.

Suddenly, the man lying in the car suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ah!" The Japanese translator screamed in fear.

Before the Japanese military translator could react, he saw the lying man suddenly lifting the quilt and kicking him several feet away.

The man lying down was at the same time and jumped up from the carriage with his hands and feet, waved an embroidered spring knife in his hand, and killed the unprepared Japanese iron gunner.

At the same time, three women and the handlebar took out weapons from the carriage and rushed towards the unprepared Japanese army's iron gunner.

The three women were Ye Ruliu, Hei Gu, An Zaiji. The handlebar style was disguised by Shi Tianji. The one lying in the car was Shi Lang.

Last night, based on the deployment of the Japanese army at Fenglingkou, Luo Shiyin, Xiuneng, Huang Long and others negotiated and decided to find a way to approach the Japanese army's iron artillery team. As long as the most threatened Japanese army's iron gunner was solved, it was possible to approach the enemy and fight and kill them while minimizing casualties.

So, the good show just now came about.

The Japanese army's iron cannon is actually not a cannon, but a kind of comb-rope gun. It is a single firearm and its long-range lethality is quite high.

Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu, Shi Tianji, Hei Gu, and An Zaiji each rushed into the Japanese iron artillery team with their weapons, and smashed them fiercely.

In such close-up battles, the iron cannons in the hands of the Japanese army had no advantage at all. On the one hand, because they relaxed their vigilance just now, most of the Japanese army's iron cannons had no time to react; on the other hand, in the melee between the enemy and us, they did not dare to fire their guns, because in such close-up battles, if they fired casually, it would be very likely that they would hurt their own people.

Just as Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and others succeeded and killed in the enemy's formation, dust was flying on the mountain road in the distance, and more than a dozen horses rushed towards the Japanese army's positions.

The ones sitting immediately were Luo Shiyin, Xiu Neng, Huang Long's three brothers, Cui Biao and others. Behind them was a team of fast running teams, namely the monks of Jinguang Temple, Huang Long's men and brothers in the Huwei Mountain Village. They all held weapons and rushed towards the Japanese army here like wolves and tigers.

When the Japanese army, who were on the second and third lines of defense, saw the enemy's situation urgently, rushed forward and joined the hand-to-hand combat in the first line of defense.

Luo Shixian, Xiu Neng, Huang Long and others rushed into the enemy formation in a blink of an eye.

Luo Shiyin saw several Japanese soldiers stabbing at him with spears in his hands, and immediately kicked the saddle with both feet, and his body rose from the running horse, swung his palms in the air to exert force. A huge impact force came out from his palms, and a few meters away, slammed the Japanese soldiers' feet five or six meters away. Several Japanese soldiers' feet fell to the ground immediately, spitting blood and unable to move.

Huang Long waved the nine-ring sword in his hand, jumped into the enemy's formation, slashing left and right. Several enemy soldiers died under his sword and slashed the horse.

The two brothers Huang Hu and Huang Bao swung their swords and followed closely by their elder brother. The three brothers cooperated closely and rushed in the enemy army.

Suddenly, Huang Bao saw a Japanese crossbowman pulling a long bow and a flying arrow shot at Ye Ruliu, who was struggling to kill the enemy.

Ye Ruliu was now with Shi Lang, concentrating on dealing with several enemy troops in front of him, and did not realize the arrows shot at him.

Seeing that the arrow was about to hit Ye Ruliu's back.

In a critical moment, the yellow leopard jumped from his horse, and at the moment when the arrow cluster was about to hit Ye Ruliu, he used his body to block the arrow shot.

With a "puff" sound, an arrow shot into Huang Bao's chest. Huang Bao endured the severe pain, roared, and rushed to the archery Japanese army. He raised his sword and fell, chopped the other party to the ground.

"Third brother!" Seeing that Huang Bao was injured, Huang Long immediately joined Huang Hu in a fight to kill the enemy soldiers around him, trying to rescue the injured third brother. Helplessly, the two were entangled by the enemy and failed to break out of the siege.

Ye Ruliu and Shi Lang also wanted to withdraw from their place to rescue Huang Bao, but were also surrounded by several Japanese troops and were not allowed to escape.

The seriously injured Huang Bao gritted his teeth and waved the ghost-headed sword in his hand, killing three Japanese soldiers who were trying to kill him one after another. Blood fell down Huang Bao's clothes, forming a long blood mark under his feet. Gradually, Huang Bao felt his eyes turned black and his feet were not in control.

At this time, a Japanese army suddenly stabbed Huang Bao in the heart with a spear in his hand. Huang Bao did not care about the pain in his heart. He grabbed the handle of the spear with his left hand and forced the opponent back three or four meters with both feet. The Japanese soldier used all his strength but failed to pull out the spear.

Looking at the timid other party, Huang Bao let out a hideous and terrifying laughter. He tried his best to penetrate the ghost-headed knife in his hand deeply into the chest of the Japanese soldier.

Xiu Neng and Cui Biao jumped into the enemy's camp almost at the same time. As soon as they hit the ground, seven or eight Japanese troops surrounded him. Xiu Neng leaned against Cui Biao, swung the shovel and the Pu knife in his hand, and killed the Japanese troops who were surrounding him so much that they cried and shouted to their parents, killing and injured a large number of deaths and injuries.

Shi Tianji, Hei Gu and An Zaiji worked together to kill the enemy soldiers who were approaching him one by one.

The heroes who were running with their feet behind had already arrived at the formation at this time, and they shouted in unison to kill the Japanese army.

In this way, on the open road at Fenglingkou, a team of more than 300 people on both sides fought together.

The sound of killing on the scene was shocking. Both sides were killed and overwhelmed.

After nearly half an hour of melee, this almost even battle was over.

As a result, about 200 Japanese troops were wiped out. Most of the troops in Huanglong and Cui Biao lost. Huang Bao died in battle. More than a dozen monks in Jinguang Temple were killed.

At this point, after more than a month of trekking, Luo Shiyin led a team, with the help of Xiuneng, Heigu, Huang Long and others, and finally got rid of the Japanese army's encirclement and interception.

According to the plan negotiated by Luo Shiyin and Xiu Neng last night, they decided to split into two groups. Xiu Neng led the monks of Jin Guang Temple to the northwest and rushed to Yizhou to join the army of the North Korean government. Luo Shiyin took the southeast and led a team straight to the capital of North Korea Wangjing.

Everyone couldn't help but have some greetings before leaving.
