Chapter 170 My Lord's Rise and Fall

The four brothers Yang Ge acted according to the plan, driving more than a thousand remnants of Tao's defeated army into the valley, and then drove more than a thousand vassal troops into the valley, blocking both ends of the valley and letting them kill each other.

According to common sense, more than a thousand well-trained and fully armed professional soldiers, even if they have lost their fighting spirit and are in a panic, are definitely not something that can be resisted by more than a thousand mobs that can't even hold a knife.

However, there are 72 warriors who are taking sides, constantly breaking up the organized counterattacks of Tao's soldiers and defeating the morale of Tao's soldiers, while constantly creating opportunities for the vassal army and raising morale...

The vassal army suppressed the remnants of Tao's defeated army little by little, and the more they fought, the more fierce and brutal they became. The "monkey gie" howling like a beast and the corpses all over the mountains and plains made the 72 warriors watching the battle feel uncomfortable, and they inexplicably felt that they had released a ferocious beast with their own hands.

Yang Ge, who stood on the hill and looked down at the entire battlefield, was keenly aware of this emotion and pressed the pause button for the murderous vassal army at the right time.

But when Zhou Fu commanded the seven embroidered guards and sounded the signal to withdraw the troops, what he got in return was not the order, but a group of murderous vassal soldiers holding up samurai swords and screaming and rushing towards Zhou Fu and his men.

Seeing this, Yang Ge pointed at the vassal soldiers who bared their teeth at Zhou Fu, and hundreds of broken swords of the remaining soldiers instantly floated on the battlefield, gathering into a metal frenzy, pouring into the vassal soldiers who bared their teeth at Zhou Fu, piercing back and forth, raising large patches of blood mist and broken limbs and corpses...

The wailing sound that just stopped abruptly and the blood mist that rushed up several meters high, like cold water extinguishing a fire, chilled all the Japanese pirates in the valley, rationality defeated animal nature, and regained the high ground of IQ.

They raised their red eyes to look at the demon-like man on the hill, and the blood in their eyes quickly faded.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yang Ge clenched his left hand, and the hundreds of floating fragments of the remnants of the army shattered again, turning into pieces of metal fragments the size of coins.

He waved his hand expressionlessly, and thousands of metal fragments scattered, covering the entire valley, glittering like the Milky Way hanging high in the night sky, floating above the heads of every Japanese pirate!

This was like a basin of cold water poured over their heads, and the noisy battlefield quickly quieted down.

"Sound the gong!"

Yang Ge shouted from a distance to Zhou Fu, who was also in a daze.

Zhou Fu suddenly came back to his senses and led the way to strike the gong in his hand.

"Dangdangdangdang..."

The shrill sound of the gong resounded throughout the battlefield, and most of the Japanese pirates of the vassal army stopped their actions and racked their brains with their underdeveloped cerebellum to recall what this shrill sound of the gong meant.

Only a few pirates who were affected by the killing intent and lost their minds were still screaming and hacking.

Seeing this, Yang Ge spread his right hand, and his five fingers seemed to play the piano in the air, gently brushing past those pirates who had lost their minds.

Thousands of starlights fell, and the sharp and violent Gengjin sword energy instantly blew those pirates who had lost their minds into pieces.

I just don’t know if it’s because the battlefield is too big, so that he can’t control those metal fragments so well, there are always accidental injuries when the starlight falls, not only the screaming pirates will be blown to pieces by the starlight, but also the pirates who are closer to him will be blown to pieces by the starlight...

After more than a dozen groups of pirates were blown to pieces, the remaining pirates woke up as if from a dream, either trying to stay away from those screaming idiots, or rushing down desperately to press them to the ground, and slapping them with a big slap.

"Sound the gong!"

Yang Ge stopped brushing his five fingers and shouted at Zhou Fu again.

Zhou Fu, who had never stopped beating the gong, became anxious and smashed the big gong that needed two people to carry with a hammer into pieces.

"Dang..."

The sound of the broken gong spread, and the confused Japanese pirates of the vassal army finally remembered the military discipline that had been passed down at least ten times along the way: beat the drum to advance, and sound the gong to retreat.

They quickly gave up the enemy who had lost the power to resist in front of them, and retreated to the main camp like a tide, looking for their superiors while retreating.

When only the Tao soldiers wearing black rattan armor were left in the entire valley, Yang Ge spoke again: "Surrender!"

Zhou Fu understood and immediately commanded the pirate translators to shout in unison: "Put down your weapons and surrender immediately, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

After the pirate translators shouted the first time, the Tao soldiers in the valley who were praying for life threw away their wild swords and prostrated themselves on the hill to express their surrender.

When the pirate translators finished shouting for the third time, most of the Tao family soldiers in the valley had already prostrated themselves before Yang Ge. Only a few dozen Tao family loyalists were still standing in the valley, holding their wild swords and facing Yang Ge, while kicking their comrades in anger.

Yang Ge admired these Japanese pirates who would rather die than surrender, and decided to respect their integrity and fulfill their last wish in life...

He stretched out his hand and brushed it across the valley. The stars flowed across the valley with his gestures, cutting the taller Japanese pirates in the valley to the same height as the prostrating Japanese pirates.

Zhou Fu saw the opportunity and immediately ordered the vassal army that had just returned to the main camp to enter the valley again to recruit the surrendered soldiers.

After a night of reorganization, the vassal army's strength increased from more than 1,000 to more than 1,600, of which nearly half were Tao family elite soldiers.

According to Yang Ge's teachings, Zhou Fu first promoted the Japanese pirates with military merits in the vassal army to the ninth-class samurai, and then selected some not-so-smart but obedient samurai from the ninth-class samurai to the eighth-class samurai, and gradually built up the system of middle and lower-level officers in the vassal army...

Then he vigorously popularized military orders and military discipline again, and constantly let samurai at all levels take the lead in training.

After experiencing the battle of the valley, the vassal army has lost some of its impetuousness and immaturity, and has become much more stable. It has also gradually understood what "military orders are like mountains, and those who violate orders will be executed". In addition, the kind-hearted man Tao Qingxian delivered a large number of weapons, armor and food to the door, and the vassal army began to have some military atmosphere...

Two days later, the 72 warriors led the vassal army to the outside of Dazaifu, the capital of Chikuzen Province. Some of the Tao family retainers who heard that Tao Qingxian was defeated and died gathered more than 3,000 Tao family soldiers and horses under the banner of revenge for Tao Qingxian, and stationed them outside Dazaifu.

Yang Ge asked Zhou Fu to command the vassal army to set up a battle formation and fight the three thousand Tao soldiers with real swords and guns.

The vassal army was a new army, but Zhou Fu was not a general from the grass roots. In addition, with Yang Ge and others to back up the vassal army, the vassal army had difficulty withstanding the offensive of Tao's soldiers, and slowly adapted to the rhythm of the battlefield under the offensive of Tao's soldiers...

Yang Ge gave Zhou Fu three days.

Within three days, Zhou Fu, in line with the idea of ​​"there are Japanese pirates on both sides, no matter how many die, I don't feel bad", showed what he had learned in his life, commanded the vassal army to fight with Tao's soldiers for no less than twenty battles, from battle formations, night battles to camp raids, he played them all... No, it should be that he demonstrated them all to the vassal army.

Zhou Fu himself became more and more unrestrained and happy the more he fought, and his eyes were still glowing green after three days and three nights without closing his eyes.

However, the vassal army was trained to the point of ecstasy and climax. If it were not for Yang Ge and others to suppress the camp, the Buxiao Camp would have collapsed long ago.

Three days later, Yang Ge led 72 warriors to the battlefield, and directly killed through the enemy formation with absolute force, beheaded the general and seized the flag. Zhou Fu took the opportunity to press all the troops together to decide the outcome of the battle.

After the war, Zhou Fu gathered the remnants of the Tao family and reorganized them as usual. The vassal army's strength increased from more than 1,600 at its peak to more than 3,500, and with a large number of middle and lower-level officers who were promoted to ninth-class warriors and eighth-class warriors due to their bravery in combat. Added to the vassal army system, this army, which seemed to be a mess and could be pushed to pieces because of the addition of too many surrendered soldiers, was actually more resilient and stronger inside.

Because all vested interests will instinctively protect their own interests, and the interests of these middle and lower-level officers all come from the system of the Nine-Class Warriors. Once they leave this system, they will return to their original form, from the noble officers who currently manage dozens of people and even have someone to wipe their asses for them, to the original lowly poor ghosts who are hungry and poorly clothed.

Therefore, whenever a newcomer joins this system, they will teach the newcomer what the rules are.

Therefore, whenever a higher-level order is conveyed to them, in order to protect the status they have fought for with their lives and the possibility of climbing to a higher position, they will intensify the implementation.

And Yang Ge, who knows the essence of wolf culture, also feeds the vassal army in the transformation period a piece of fat blood food like timely rain - Dazaifu!

Dazaifu, a city built by Japan to welcome the culture of the Chinese Empire, has been one of the most prosperous and flourishing cities in Japan for a long time. Jianzhen, Kukai, Saicho and other scholars who were influenced by Chinese culture have lingered here... It was even known as "the world's largest city".

Even now that Japan no longer regards Wei as the Celestial Empire and no longer admires Chinese culture, Dazaifu is still the absolute economic, cultural and administrative center of the entire Western Sea Road.

That day, Yang Ge stood under the bloody setting sun, blasted open the gate of Dazaifu with a knife, pointed to the prosperous streets in the city composed of countless quaint Tang buildings and said to the vassal army: "It's yours!"

More than 3,500 Japanese pirates from the vassal army, whose bloodstains on their armor had not yet been wiped clean, rushed into Dazaifu one after another, just like a pack of wolves tortured by wind and snow and suffering from hunger and cold, rushing into the endless chicken coop.

That day, countless thick smoke rose in Dazaifu.

That day, the sound of crying and wailing in Dazaifu was deafening...

This city, which was built because of Japan's admiration for Chinese culture, was eventually destroyed because Japan raised its butcher knife to the land of China.

Yang Ge stood at the highest point in Dazaifu with his sword, looking at the magnificent Tang buildings that were extremely rare in Wei Dynasty slowly collapsing in the flames. It seemed that he saw the figures of countless Chinese sages on those black dragons...

Some of them wore black futou and moon-white round-collared robes, some wore tiger-head helmets and black iron armor... They stood on the black dragons, raised their glasses and laughed at the sky, as if they had been waiting for this day for a long time.

A heavy sense of fate like a closed loop of history echoed in his heart, making him feel as small as a mantis blocking a car, and as majestic as the Qinling Mountains that span China from north to south.

He seemed to have just realized that he was no longer just a reader of history, nor a witness of history, but a participant in history...

When future generations read his story, they might also feel as passionate as when they read about the story of Marquis Guanjun conquering Langjuxu and Marquis Dingyuan recovering the Western Regions.

This realization, like a towering tree, supported his hesitant inner world, and the mental strength of a stagnant pool of water began to grow again like a vine climbing up a tree.

"Who controls the rise and fall of this vast land?"

"No one can decide the ups and downs."

"Anyone can decide the ups and downs."

"I can decide the ups and downs..."

He muttered to himself, and the true energy in his body was surging like a violent breath, and the strong power of his mind was released, which attracted the vast vitality of the world and covered him like a tornado that connected the sky and the earth, and his long hair was flying wantonly, like a god, like a demon!

This extremely spectacular scene, like a demon barrier, was deeply engraved into the souls of the Japanese pirates who were raging all over the city, and it was like an insurmountable mountain that suppressed the viciousness in their bodies. After years, they would still sweat profusely in their dreams at midnight, recalling the brutal years when they were dominated by Yang Ge.

The 72 warriors scattered around Dazaifu also saw this scene, and they only felt that it was unfathomable and towering. Not to mention replacing him, they couldn't even get up to catch up.

Especially those who understand how Yang Ge built an army of obedient and willing soldiers in a foreign country in just ten days, their admiration for Yang Ge... is simply terrifying!

That kind of inexplicable feeling is probably: 'I know he is awesome, but I didn't expect him to be so awesome! '

A thousand threads and thousands of words finally condensed into one sentence: 'I must tell the higher-ups when I go back, and don't mess with the second master in the future! '

No one would believe it if they said it out. People from so many different organizations such as the court, rebels, cults, gangs, and aristocratic families would have such a uniform understanding.

"Damn it, it's really unfair that this guy doesn't get struck by lightning!"

Yang Tiansheng retracted his gaze and complained in a low voice with an extremely complicated tone.

Xiang Wudi also retracted his gaze. His martial arts skills were higher than those of Yang Tiansheng and Li Jincheng, so he could see more things. But it was precisely because he could see clearly that he was secretly frightened... He didn't dare to tell Yang Tiansheng and Li Jincheng. He always felt that Yang Erlang could become a master at any time.

Li Jincheng's focus was different from theirs. He retracted his gaze after taking a few glances and continued to look at the miserable scene around him that seemed like hell on earth... But after experiencing the double blows from Yang Ge and Yang Tiansheng, he was already a little numb. To put it nicely, he could let him be as strong as he wanted, and the breeze would blow over the hills. To put it bluntly, he felt like he was lying down and dying.

"I say, don't we really go talk to Yang Lao Er?"

He whispered worriedly: "I always feel a little uneasy when he does this..."

Yang Tiansheng spread his hands helplessly: "How to talk? The dead are the Japanese pirates, and the ones who did it are also the Japanese pirates. We are all clean and have nothing to do with them. What can we talk to him about? We are in charge of everything, can we still control and kill the Japanese pirates?"

Xiang Wudi also nodded and responded: "He has done this to this extent. If we still gossip about it, it would be too nosy and indiscriminate!"
