The Japanese people have a strange dance, which can be called opera. Some people call it a puppet show, while others say it is a ghost dance. Anyway, three or four names appeared in Ai Husheng's mouth, and Li Xiao didn't remember much.

This thing is a simple stage. Three or two people use extremely simple props to perform a drama completely based on instinct. The soundtrack is also very simple. Two weird-looking instruments serve as dubbing. The actors on the stage started to hum and hum.

The performance seems to be quite immersive.

Li Xiao felt that if he were to be described like this in future generations, 80% of his buddies would think that he was filming a pornographic film? This thing should be considered a pornographic film with clothes on!

Terumoto Mori was very interested in playing the role of an invincible hero. The black samurai uniform was embroidered with the family crest of the Mori family in gold thread. The appearance was similar, but the black hair and chicken skin were hard to associate with others.

The image of a great hero.

Holding a folding fan in your hand is considered a weapon.

Li Xiao couldn't stand the things from the Japanese country, mainly because most of the things from the Japanese country were one size smaller. For example, the folding fan that Maori Huiyuan is holding now is more than one size smaller than the folding fan in the hand of the Ming Dynasty scholar. The original

Its functions are greatly reduced and it is almost reduced to a decoration.

The folding fan hit the ferocious-looking puppet on the face, causing it to roll on the ground like a ball.

"Okay!" He didn't know what he understood, but Mangui shouted "Ouch...!" from underneath, which startled Li Xiao.

Li Xiao turned his head and looked at Man Gui, doubting this guy's aesthetic taste.

Maori Huiyuan nodded to Mangui and expressed his respect for the Ming Dynasty general. Mangui stole the show today, not only did he kill people more fiercely on the battlefield. The Maori family took turns toasting to him, but they couldn't win this guy over.

Lie down.

Just when Mouri Terumoto nodded in greeting, a crossbow arrow quietly scratched his cheek. The puppet behind him who had just stood up didn't understand what was going on. He was hit by an arrow on the door of his head, a powerful crossbow arrow.

It penetrated into the brain. The sharp arrow penetrated most of the back of the head, and the broken skull and blood spurted out immediately.

"Enemy attack!" Mouri Hidemoto shouted, and he was the first to rush over. He blocked Mouri Terumoto with his body. A group of samurai drew out their samurai swords and surrounded Mouri Terumoto. Those who were close to Mouri Terumoto even

I found two shields from somewhere and covered Mouri Terumoto tightly.

Is there anyone who brings a shield when treating guests to dinner?

abnormal!

While Maori Huiyuan was surrounded, a shrill scream rang out from beside Li Xiao. A guy was covering his wrist and howling miserably, with a short knife in his hand. A bloody hand fell on the ground.

That hand held a dagger tightly and dropped it at Li Xiao's feet.

"Keep alive...!" Li Xiao wanted to keep him alive, but by this time it was too late. Bao Ho and Haggis poked their heads out from behind the man at the same time, and two daggers had already been inserted into the ribs, one on the left and one on the right.

They are all pierced from the third rib upwards. Even if this guy is extremely talented, his heart is still in the wrong position.

There is one word to describe the movements of the three brothers, and that is fast. The movements of the three people were almost completed in the blink of an eye. Li Xiao's brain didn't even have time to react properly!

"Fuck you!" Before Li Xiao could understand, Man Gui turned sideways and ran away.

Tripe and Elbow stood behind a Japanese woman. The little girl had a dagger stuck in the back of her neck. There was also a dagger stuck in her temple.

When Li Xiao looked over, he saw two guys pulling out daggers and wiping them on the twitching dead man.

Cruel! Cruel enough!

The knife on the back of the neck severed the central nervous system, and any instructions issued by the brain could no longer be completed by the limbs. The knife on the temple directly penetrated the cerebellum. Even if this guy could survive, he would definitely be a high-level paraplegic.

On a vegetative state.

This is all knowledge that Li Xiao learned in the military combat class. The skills of killing with one move actually mostly revolve around the brain and neck. As long as these two places are fatally attacked, the person will basically be disabled.

Five little guys gathered around Li Xiao, looking around with hawk-like eyes.

Only then did that idiot Jiang Chaozong react. He called the brothers from the security company to surround Li Xiao. This bastard was actually wearing a Japanese woman's kimono.

"Above!" Li Xiao pointed to the only commanding height in this land. If someone shoots an arrow from a high place, it can only be from that place.

Li Xiao pointed his hand, and hundreds of firecrackers immediately pointed at the archway.

"Pah...!" "Pah...!" "Pah...!" "Pah...!" "Pah...!"...!

There was a loud sound of gunfire, and three people immediately fell down from the archway and were beaten like a hornet's nest.

The scene was in chaos. Li Xiao and Man Gui were immediately surrounded by followers and kept a distance from the Japanese. Roast Chicken suddenly grabbed Jiang Chaozong's short-barreled musket and fired a shot at the ground.

A scream came up immediately. Unexpectedly, there were people hiding underground. Several fire cannons were fired into the pit, and there was no movement inside. Anyway, it was underground, and it would be convenient for Mouri Terumoto's people to bury them in a while.

"Pa!" A gunshot rang out, and a guard next to Li Xiao was shot and fell to the ground.

The body of the elbow rolled like a ball under the tree, and the dagger in his hand shot out. A guy screamed and fell from the tree. Before he could struggle, he was beaten into a sieve by random shots!

Li Xiao was carried into the camp, surrounded by Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers. This was a relief!

Over there, Mouri Terumoto was also sent back to Hagi Castle by his retainers and samurai.

After a while, both sides sent out troops to conduct a blanket search of the venue where the carnival had just taken place!

"Chief Commander, these are the ninjas of the Iga family. Are you not injured?" As soon as he sat down, before he could take a breath, Mouri Hidetada arrived.

It seems that this guy came directly after sending his father to Hagi City.

"Hold it?" Li Xiao's eyes widened. Such a legendary figure actually appeared in front of him. Several of them were killed by his own men!

"Yes! We Japanese ninjas have a long history and have many schools. The most famous ones are the Iga ninjas and the Kaga ninjas.

It has been difficult to find traces of Kaga ninjas in recent years, but Tokugawa Ieyasu's men have recruited Iga ninjas. This shocked the Chief Military Officer!"

"It's okay! I'm okay!" Li Xiao was very lucky to have accepted these brothers with strange names at Penglai Pier.

The Japanese ninja next to me just now almost stabbed him in the back of his heart with his dagger. With the medical conditions in these days, if he was stabbed like this, he would basically be disabled.

It seems that those ninjas came well prepared, and they may have been lurking in the Mouri family for a long time. They were targeting Mouri Terumoto over there, and they were targeting themselves here.

Mr. Mangui was also honored to be on the assassination list because of his outstanding performance today.

That night, there was a lot of noise around Li Xiao's military tent.

Roast chicken, elbows, thighs and hooves, tripe, and haggis, the five brothers, were nestled in Li Xiao's tent and could not get out. Jiang Chaozong's eyes were as wide as a mouse, and he was holding a short-barreled firecracker that Li Xiao had eliminated.

.The killers under him also opened their eyes wide and looked for anything that could move.

The whole tent was surrounded by soldiers, and Man Gui had ordered that anyone who came close to Li Xiao's tent would be killed immediately. The soldiers looked so angry with their guns that not only people did not dare to approach, but also ghosts probably did not dare to pass by.

We spent the whole night in Hagi Castle, and we don’t know how many people were killed. Anyway, the next morning, there were many heads hanging on the walls of Hagi Castle.

The sun finally rose from the horizon, and Li Xiao opened his eyes. He saw the five guys sleeping huddled together, and heard Li Xiao getting up. Only Haggis opened his eyes and took a look, and the other guys moved.

None moved.

Li Xiao was very doubtful whether it was these boys who killed the ninja last night.

After leaving the door, I saw Li Xiu standing at the door of the tent with dew all over, his eyes as red as a rabbit.

"Second brother, there's no need to stay here. You were busy all day yesterday, so go back and rest quickly." Li Xiao patted Li Xiu on the shoulder.

"Brother! I can't sleep with you here. I feel at ease standing here watching over you."

"Go back to the ship and have a good sleep. The sea should be peaceful today. Yesterday's naval battle Ezo Shinyuemon said that the ship you killed with Hachiman Daibodhisattva on it was Kuuki Yoshitaka's boat. If Kuuki Yoshitaka dies

Now, Japanese pirates should not dare to come to the Nagato Inland Sea to cause trouble again."

"It would be great if I really want to kill Jiuki Jialong. How about I follow my elder brother on land today?"

"You'd better go back to the ship. I'll take care of matters on land. Yesterday I laid some mines in front of the battle. It will be easy for them if the Japanese pirates attack again today." Li Xiao now has an idea of ​​the Japanese pirates' combat effectiveness.

The main arms of the Japanese pirates now are actually matchlock soldiers, cavalry, and infantry. The weapons of the cavalry and infantry mainly include spears, cross guns, and samurai swords.

Because of the range issue, the arquebusiers were suppressed by mortars and trebuchets. Their Mini rifles also had a longer range than the arquebuses and were more accurate.

As long as the enemy dares to attack and let go of the leading troops, the mortars will create a wall of fire and shrapnel on the path of the follow-up troops. Anyone who tries to pass through this wall will be torn into pieces.

Yesterday, we had discussed with the Maori family that their two wings would be defended by them. Behind us, there are also 500 Mongolian cavalry led by Mangui. These highly mobile cavalry can quickly support any point on the battlefield.

Today's land battle is absolutely foolproof.

"Okay, brother! I'll go back to the ship and I'll bring you the cannon. I guess the Japanese pirates won't dare to come from the sea anymore today. You need that cannon more than I do. If the Japanese pirates really come, I still have so many stones to throw."

Where’s the machine? Yesterday’s naval battle, the improved artillery shells were very effective.”

"Okay! Move over the artillery. With two cannons, the opponent's general probably won't be able to escape anymore." Li Xiao was still thinking about Kato Kiyomasa's escape.

If there were two cannons at the time, Li Xiao would have been 80% sure of killing Kato Kiyomasa in front of the two armies.

After Li Xiu returned, the navy worked hard to dismantle the bronze cannon. Maori Huiyuan sent eight oxen to pull the cart, and finally got the cannon to the position before the war started.

Wakisaka Anji stood in front of the two armies. He had seen the failure of the Iga ninjas last night. There were many human heads hanging on the walls of Hagi City. Mouri Terumoto was wearing his exaggerated armor, sitting high

Looking at him from afar on the high ground.

Holding the telescope he bought from the red-haired man in his hand, Wakisaka Anji carefully observed the opponent's military formation.

On the left and right flanks are the Maori samurai, a very large number of them. A conservative estimate would be more than 6,000!

Those in the middle are Ming soldiers. These Ming soldiers are dressed very strangely. They don’t have any armor on their bodies, and their yellow-green military uniforms are very similar to the background of the woods. If you don’t look carefully, you really can’t tell them apart.

Wakisaka Anji fought against the Ming army in Korea. These people seemed to be different from the previous Ming army. During the Battle of Bi Tie Guan, the Liaodong cavalry relied on heavy armor and kept cutting back and forth. General Li Rusong's

Heavy armor is difficult to penetrate even with a matchlock from a long distance.

Why don't these Ming troops wear armor today? Their yellow-green uniforms may not be able to withstand even bows and arrows, let alone bullets.

"Matsumoto-kun, those Ming troops were dressed like this yesterday?" Anji Wakisaka asked doubtfully a samurai who escaped yesterday.
