In the woods, two groups of people faced off.
On one side were Ming soldiers clad in armor, ready for battle.
On one side was the Tokyo Hot Pirates, howling and wailing like ghosts.
One thousand elite soldiers against two thousand pirates.
The numerical disparity did not frighten the Ming soldiers; on the contrary, it excited them somewhat.
In their eyes, these were not enemies, but gold, military merits, and medals.
Chen Da looked at the pirate group in front of him, which resembled a beggar's gang, with a hint of mockery on his face.
They gathered in small groups, lacking any discipline or team spirit.
It was less of an army and more of a mob.
They were even worse than the mountain bandits within the Ming Dynasty; at least the mountain bandits knew how to ambush and lure the enemy deep into their territory.
Compared to mountain bandits, these Japanese pirates are utterly useless.
Looking at them, Chen Da was reminded of his own past.
No wonder the prince looked at me with such disdain when he first saw me.
With such high standards, how could the prince possibly think highly of an army without discipline or faith?
From the Tokyo Hot Pirate Gang, a minor leader stepped forward with a grim expression. He pointed at Chen Da and asked, "Hey, where are you working, you little brat?"
"You all come here and get to work, you bastards!"
Chen Da looked at the short Japanese pirate in front of him and said with a smile, "Since you asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you."
"We are the regent of the Great Ming Dynasty, the supreme heavenly emperor's tutor, and the subordinate of Li Chang'an, the blood-handed butcher. My name is Chen Da."
The junior leader was puzzled by his words: "Why are you Ming Dynasty troops sailing on Lord Okamura Yasuaki's ship?"
"Okamura Yasuhiro?"
"Are you talking about the guy who's holding a knife, about 1.4 meters tall, and shouting 'Kill the chicken, give me some!'"
Yang Liulang was somewhat familiar with the name Okamura Ningchi, because this person was the leader of the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Based on the prisoner's description, he knew that this man was the shortest of the Japanese pirates, and the one who died the fastest.
The prince originally intended to use the mastermind to refine oil for candles, but unfortunately the man died too quickly, preventing the prince from fulfilling his wish.
The young leader looked somewhat proud upon hearing this description.
"That's right, he's the strongest and fastest man in our Great Sun Empire."
On the high seas, Okamura Yasuichi's reputation was second only to the Fukushima pirate group.
He was the pride of the entire Great Japanese Empire, transforming from a fisherman's child into a notorious pirate on the high seas.
Finally, he received a reward from His Majesty the Heavenly Locust and became one of the three admirals of the Great Japanese Empire Navy.
His experience of rising from poverty to nobility made him a fanatical idol for countless low-level pirates.
Looking at the excited young leader, Yang Liulang said with a smile, "The strongest and fastest man you mentioned was killed by our prince with a single sword strike."
"The souls have been used to light lamps, and the corpses have been used to feed the fish."
"If you miss him, we can send you to see him."
Upon hearing this, the Ming soldiers burst into laughter.
The junior leader looked on incredulously.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Lord Okamura Yasuichi is invincible. You evil Zhila people must be lying."
Seeing that he was on the verge of losing his composure, Chen Da was unwilling to waste any more words.
The surrounding reinforcements are almost here. If this drags on any longer, Xiong Er and his men will rush over and steal the kills.
This was a military achievement, so of course he didn't want to share it with Xiong Er and the others.
Chen Da waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him drew their bows and shot arrows.
On one side were the elite Ming Dynasty soldiers armed to the teeth, and on the other side were a pirate group wielding bamboo samurai swords. The battle between the two sides was completely unfair.
This battle was destined to be a one-sided massacre.
By the time other troops arrived to provide support, the battle was already over.
The young leader was pinned to the ground by Chen Haonan and unable to move. He thrashed about like a turtle, howling and wailing, but no one could understand what he was saying.
It's just the same few sentences over and over again, and it sounds like someone is cursing someone.
The other pirate crew members were also either dead or wounded, and were bound hand and foot by the warriors and taken aside.
They knew that the prince harbored great hatred for these Japanese pirates, so they deliberately kept some prisoners to amuse him.
We can also practice our skills in torture and forced confessions.
Just as they were all smiles, Li Chang'an disembarked.
In front of him, Zhang Xianzong stood on the beach, carrying Muto Blue in one hand and Kato Taka in the other.
The leaders of several other pirate groups were also captured.
While the Tokyo Hot Pirates were fighting Chen Da to the death, other troops rushed over to provide support.
This immediately created a gap in the encirclement.
Muto Ran, along with a few of his trusted confidants, attempted to sneak out through a gap in the encirclement.
They prepared to take a boat from the other side and escape to the open sea.
They just didn't expect that Li Chang'an had a GPS tracking system and was watching them the whole time.
As Muto Ran and her men walked out of the grove, they encountered Zhang Xianzong, dressed in a Confucian robe, waiting for them.
As expected, all members of the Tokyo Hot Pirate Gang were captured by Li Chang'an.
When Chen Da returned with the prisoners, he immediately knelt down on one knee upon seeing MutÅ Ran and the others.
"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so complacent because of the victory that I became careless and gave them the opportunity to break through the encirclement."
Li Chang'an looked at him and shook his head: "This is the brothers' first battle, so some mistakes are inevitable. Just be more careful next time."
