In the dead of night, the Zhejiang army, led by Zhu Ping'an, cautiously advanced into Zhangjiazhai and quietly surrounded the Zhang family's residence.
It seems that the Japanese pirates were indeed deceived by the Peacock Tail, otherwise they would not have not reacted even when it was touched right under their noses.
After the Zhejiang army surrounded the Zhang family's house, Zhu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head to look at Liu Dadao, winked, and whispered, "Dadao, take them in and deal with the Japanese pirates' scouts first."
Liu Dadao nodded and accepted the order, pointed out a few good hands, and quietly moved towards the Zhang family's courtyard wall. Because he had explored it once, Liu Dadao knew the location of the Japanese pirate scouts. He stretched out his hand to point out the locations of several Japanese pirate scouts, and then quietly moved towards the target separately.
The beheading went smoothly. Of the five Japanese pirate scouts, four were lying on the ground snoring, and the other was sleeping soundly against the wall. Liu Dadao and his men approached them, covered their mouths and noses with one hand to prevent them from screaming and waking up the other Japanese pirates, and used the other hand to forcefully stab the dagger into their hearts.
The five Japanese pirate scouts didn't even struggle before their short and sinful lives ended.
"Well done!" Zhu Ping'an praised Liu Dadao and his men in a low voice when he saw how they had efficiently dealt with the Japanese pirate scouts. He then ordered a hundred men to ambush outside Zhang's residence to prevent any Japanese pirates from escaping, and led the rest of the men into Zhang's residence.
The Zhang family was worthy of being a local wealthy family. The courtyard was spacious, with three courtyards and more than twenty houses. The Japanese pirates occupied the largest main house as a temporary camp.
The main house of Zhang's house is a three-room building with nine frames, covering an area of more than 100 square meters. The hall is in the middle, which is usually used as a guest hall and as a ceremonial hall for weddings and funerals. The Japanese pirates made the hall smoky and lit a pile of fire to keep warm. They slept on the ground around the fire. It can't be said that they slept on the ground. They spread the beddings and quilts they found from Zhang's house on the ground, just like they did in Japan. They slept in all directions and snored like dead pigs.
After all, Nao Nabeshima and Sanbanro Matsuura were of special status, so they did not sleep in the hall with other Japanese pirates. Instead, they occupied the master bedroom in the inner room, monopolized the big bed and slept, snoring loudly in their sleep.
At this time, the firewood in the hall had burned out, leaving only ashes that flickered in the darkness, and the Japanese pirates were snoring.
In order to avoid waking up the Japanese pirates if there were too many people, and because the space in the house was limited and too many people could not maneuver, Zhu Ping'an selected a hundred elite soldiers and ordered them to work in groups of three. They entered the two outer halls quietly and killed the Japanese pirates with their own hands.
The rest of the people were on high alert in the courtyard, ready to respond at any time in case of any accidents.
Although it was late at night, there was bright moonlight outside and the flickering ashes of the campfire in the house, so it was not so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. If you got used to the darkness, you could still see things vaguely.
One hundred elite soldiers of the Zhejiang Army entered the house cautiously one after another. After getting used to the darkness in the house, they formed groups of three, pulled out their daggers that gleamed with cold light, held their breath, and tiptoed towards the Japanese pirate who was lying on the ground and snoring.
Niu Wu is one of them. He is in a group with Zhao Datie and Zhang Laosan.
The three men walked cautiously towards a Japanese pirate who was lying and snoring, squatted down slowly, and after looking at each other, Niu Chou covered the Japanese pirate's mouth with his hand to prevent him from making any sound. Zhao Datie held down the Japanese pirate's hands and feet almost at the same time, and Zhang Laosan gritted his teeth and stabbed the dagger into the Japanese pirate's heart.
"Hmm..."
The severe pain of the dagger piercing his heart woke the Japanese pirate up from the medicinal properties of the peacock tail. His screams were muffled by Niu Wu's hand in his throat, and after a dying struggle, his sinful life ended.
Done!
Niu Wu, Zhao Datie and Zhang Laosan all breathed a sigh of relief. Their hearts, which had been in their throats, were finally put down. Looking at the Japanese pirates who were dead, they all felt a sense of accomplishment. These were the fierce Japanese who had roamed thousands of miles across the Ming Dynasty, killed thousands of people, and made the 100,000 defenders of Yingtian City dare not leave the city!
Now he actually died at the hands of the three of them. Although this was basically the result of the adults' planning, Niu Wu and the other two couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment for being able to kill a Japanese pirate with their own hands.
Niu Wu and his men succeeded, and other elite teams of the Zhejiang Army also succeeded one after another.
After all, it wasn't that difficult for the three of them to team up to kill a Japanese pirate who was unconscious after being hit by the Peacock Tail.
"ah!"
Just as Niu Wu and his men were reaching out their evil hands to the Japanese pirates nearby and were about to strike again, a shrill scream rang out in the hall, and then stopped abruptly, like a duck having its throat strangled.
This was when another group of people attacked again. The heart of the Japanese pirate being killed was different from that of a normal person. It tilted two inches outward, allowing the Japanese pirate to avoid the fatal stab to the heart and not die instantly. The severe pain made him sober up from the effect of the peacock tail, and he struggled violently and let out a scream. The Zhejiang army who attacked was frightened and took timely remedy. They covered the Japanese pirate's mouth and nose again, stopping his screams, and stabbed him several times in succession, ending the Japanese pirate's sinful life.
Niu Wu shuddered when he suddenly heard the Japanese pirate's scream. He should have covered his mouth, but ended up covering his nose. Zhang Laosan, who was responsible for stabbing the pirate with a knife, was also frightened and shuddered. The dagger that was supposed to stab the Japanese pirate's heart stabbed the pirate's kidney instead. Zhao Datie, who was responsible for holding down the pirate's hands and feet, was also startled by the sudden scream. He failed to hold down the Japanese pirate's hands, and the Japanese pirate's nose was covered and he couldn't breathe. He was stabbed in the kidney again. These factors severely stimulated the Japanese pirate's central nervous system, causing him to wake up suddenly in pain from the effect of the peacock tail.
"Ah! Baka!"
Niu Wucuo covered the Japanese pirate's nose but not his mouth. After the Japanese pirate woke up from the pain, he screamed and cursed reflexively.
The severe pain in the waist and the blood flowing out of the mouth and nose stimulated the ferocity of the Japanese pirates. Under the threat of death, the Japanese pirates broke out with a fighting power far beyond their usual level. First, they kicked Zhao Datie, who was holding down his body, two meters away, causing Zhao Datie to fall to the ground and vomit blood. He didn't know how many ribs were broken. Almost at the same time, the Japanese pirates grabbed Niu Wu's hand that was covering his nose, and bent it hard. With a click, Niu Wu's wrist was broken. Then the Japanese pirates threw Niu Wu down brutally. Niu Wu was pulled out from the top of his head like a chick and thrown to the ground brutally. Immediately, Niu Wu vomited blood from his mouth and nose, and lost consciousness, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The Japanese pirate kicked and threw him in the blink of an eye. Zhang Laosan, who was stabbing with a knife, had no time to react. He only had time to show a terrified expression on his face. He was about to pull out his knife to stab him again, but unfortunately, before he could pull out the knife, the Japanese pirate sat up and clamped his head with both hands and twisted it hard, breaking his neck... ...
"Baga! The Ming people are coming to kill us!" After the Japanese pirates killed Zhang Laosan, they shouted with all their strength to warn them.
Then, the Japanese pirates picked up the Japanese swords on the ground and rushed towards the Zhejiang army around them like crazy and fearlessly.
A bright white light flashed by, and the nearest Zhejiang soldier was split in half by the Japanese pirate's sword.
"You have no moral principles and you sneak attack my Yamato warriors. You are all dead!"
The Japanese pirates were covered in blood, and like vengeful ghosts crawling out of hell, they rushed towards the next Zhejiang army with knives in hand.
However, after all, they were seriously injured, and the medicinal properties of the peacock tail still had some effect. When the Japanese pirates rushed to the next Zhejiang army, they tripped over a dead Japanese pirate's body and fell to the ground. The frightened Zhejiang soldiers on the side finally came to their senses from the bravery and brutality of the Japanese pirates. They took advantage of the Japanese pirates' weakness and pounced on them, stabbing them hard with the dagger in their hand, puffing, puffing, seven or eight times in a row, until the Japanese pirates were motionless.
