Chapter 83 Ambush (2) Thanks to book friend Rose Cherry Meat for the monthly ticket!
At this time, Ye Mingsheng's attention was attracted by the group of Japanese pirates in front of him. He did not notice the strangeness in Pei Zhixiu's expression. He glanced at the other party and ordered Ye Tie:
"Tell them to lay down their weapons and surrender, and I will consider sparing their lives!"
Ye Mingsheng didn't really want these pirates to surrender. He just wanted to dig out something of interest from them, such as why they targeted him and sneaked into his military camp, and what they wanted to do...
Ye Tie, who had been in the underworld and learned some Japanese, immediately followed Ye Mingsheng's request and began to persuade him to surrender:
"Weapons are surrendered, weapons are surrendered, orders are assisted, and orders are given!"
Before Ye Tie's voice had completely fallen, the thirty-odd Japanese pirates seemed to be enraged and started to curse.
"idiot!"
"red deer!"
·······
Seeing that the Japanese pirates were so ungrateful, Ye Mingsheng's face darkened. He waved his hand and said coldly: "Leave a few alive, and kill the rest!"
As soon as the words fell, two hundred imperial guards, led by Ye Tie, immediately charged forward.
In just a blink of an eye, most of the thirty or so Japanese pirates were killed, leaving only three dying ones, who were taken alive and brought to Ye Mingsheng.
"These three people are in your hands. Make sure they speak!" Glancing at the three wounded but still defiant pirates, Ye Mingsheng sneered and said to Ye Ju beside him:
Before following him, Ye Ju had worked as a jailer and prison guard in the county government office in his hometown of Fengshan County for a period of time. He was very good at things like torture and forced confessions.
"Don't worry! Young master, it will only take a cup of tea!" Ye Ju nodded confidently.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng pulled Pei Zhixiu's soft and delicate hand and returned to his tent. What was going to happen next was really not suitable for female guests to watch.
"General Ye, don't you have anything to ask me?"
After returning to the tent, Pei Zhixiu looked at Ye Mingsheng, who looked normal. She lowered her head and said quietly, with a complicated look in her eyes:
Seeing Pei Zhixiu bring up this matter without any hesitation, Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised. After a few seconds, he smiled and said, "I only know that you saved me again. As for the rest, I will listen if you are willing to tell me. If you are not willing, I will not force you..."
As soon as Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, Pei Zhixiu raised her head and looked into Ye Mingsheng's eyes. Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, tears rolled in her beautiful eyes and her eye sockets turned red.
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng felt pity and walked over, wanting to hold Pei Zhixiu in his arms. However, Pei Zhixiu did not appreciate Ye Mingsheng's kindness. She took two steps back, avoiding Ye Mingsheng, then took out a white handkerchief from her arms and wiped the corners of her eyes.
“Ah! Ah!…”
Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, several heart-wrenching screams came from outside the tent, and a minute later, Ye Ju, covered in blood, came over with Ye Tie. Seeing the gloomy faces of the two, Ye Mingsheng had a bad premonition in his heart and looked at Ye Tie with an inquiring look.
"Master, the three Japanese pirates have confessed. They belong to the Red Tide Army of the Black Dragon Society and are subordinates of the Japanese pirate Nakamura Daiji. Their purpose of sneaking into our military camp this time is to create chaos in our military camp. There are still 500 Red Tide Army lurking in Luwang Town, waiting for their signal. As soon as they give the signal, they will turn around and pounce on the camp to rob it."
"In addition, the bandits attacking the city are also theirs. The attack is a feint to create an opportunity for the Red Tide Army in the city to raid the camp. Their plan is to divide us, surround us and defeat us one by one!" Ye Tie said with a very ugly face:
Although Ye Tie didn't say much, the amount of information contained in his words was not small, which directly shocked Ye Mingsheng and made a chill run down his back. The Black Dragon Society had a really vicious conspiracy. If it weren't for Pei Zhixiu's reminder, he would have probably fallen into their trap...
Taking a deep breath, Ye Mingsheng collected his thoughts and looked at Ye Tie, wondering, "Do these wanderers know what the Black Dragon is doing in such a big fight?"
"It is said that they want to find some treasure map in our military camp..." As if feeling that this reason was a bit absurd, Ye Tie was a little uncertain when he spoke.
"Treasure map? What is that?"
Hearing the answer given by Ye Tie, Ye Mingsheng's face was full of surprise. He was the commander of a battalion, the highest commander in the team. How could he not know that there was a treasure map in his team that was worth the Black Dragon Society, and that they mobilized so many people to deal with him?
Just as he was beginning to wonder, Ye Kui, who was guarding outside, ran over in a hurry and reported, "Master! Hundreds of Japanese pirates appeared out of nowhere in the city and are rushing towards us!"
Upon hearing the news, Ye Mingsheng's expression changed. It seemed that the Japanese pirates from the Black Dragon Society had probably guessed that the group of people who had sneaked into their military camp had been caught, so they started to rob the camp without waiting for the signal.
Under the gaze of everyone in the tent, Ye Mingsheng took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, turned his head and looked at Pei Zhixiu and instructed:
"It's not safe outside, Miss Pei, you better stay here and don't run around. I, Ye, am here and will definitely protect you!"
After he finished speaking, Ye Mingsheng smiled at Pei Zhixiu, and then as the leader, he was the first to lead everyone out of the tent.
"Onboard!"
"Onboard!"
········
As soon as he walked out of the tent, Ye Mingsheng could already hear the howling and killing sounds of the Japanese pirates charging from not far from the direction of the military camp gate.
Ye Mingsheng, who had experienced the baptism of the Liujing Battle, was no longer the newbie in the battle formation who had just crossed over. Although Chen Yannian was no longer here to help, Ye Mingsheng remained calm and drew out the sword hanging at his waist, shouting vigorously to boost morale:
"Line up to meet the enemy. Don't let any Japanese pirates get in! Imperial Army of the Great Zhou! Victory!"
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"
Although there were more than 500 Japanese pirates charging at them, when they saw the commander-in-chief stand up, the more than 200 soldiers in the camp immediately calmed down and raised their arms and shouted.
Under the leadership of the captain, the captain and the squad leader, they formed a military formation, with the musketeers and archers in the front, the swordsmen and axemen in the second row, and the spearmen at the end.
