Chapter 191 What's wrong with waiting for my brother?! (24)
No matter how many people Songkou Guixi sent, Xiong Bufan personally witnessed the knife fly over to kill people, or the translator committing murder.
Finally, Jiang Yue sent someone to tell Songkou Guixi that the translator the Japanese had hired was unreliable and always betrayed his own masters. They said that everyone in Jiaolong Village was a good person, so they helped the Japanese to take revenge. The Japanese and the translator had been dried at the port and would be sent to Songkou as food once they were dried.
Jiang Yue's actions were blatantly inciting trouble, but she was also following Xiong Bufan's lead and completely breaking ties with the Japanese. A bunch of invaders, did they really think this place was their own home? What's there to be proud of? They all deserve to die!
After receiving the letter, the entire Japanese army was in a very agitated state. They shouted "Baka!" three times in a row. That day, no other Japanese soldiers or puppet troops dared to go in.
Jiang Yue recalled all the bandits working outside, totaling more than two thousand, which was enough to deal with the Japanese garrison of more than ten thousand. As long as they made good use of the terrain and weapons, it was not impossible for them to win with fewer troops. Even if things went wrong, their leader would still be there to back them up.
Songkou Guixi acted quickly, soon sending a regiment of Japanese soldiers by boat. Before they even got close, Jiang Yue ordered his men to set up the cannons on the island and bombard them directly.
Xiong Bufan then quietly ran to the Japanese ships and punched holes in the hull to prevent the ships from sinking too slowly. Xiong Bufan punched eight holes in each ship and used his sword to destroy their propulsion system.
The Japanese ship sank, and Jiang Yue directly ordered the pirates to go out to sea and use their guns to mow down the Japanese soldiers who hadn't drowned.
On that day, the seawater near Jiaolong Village was red, and the color did not dissipate for two or three days.
The battle at Jiaolong Village was a resounding victory, annihilating the Japanese army without any casualties. Jiang Yue happily held a celebration banquet in the village to relax, as an even fiercer attack from the Japanese was about to begin.
This battle made him famous, and many forces began to take notice of this strange bandit stronghold and wanted to win him over to fight the Japanese together. Xiong Bufan had little interest in alliances; as long as the Japanese could be driven out, he was willing to cooperate with anyone.
Jiang Yue began to busy herself with receiving people every day to prevent the enemy from figuring out the new defense map of the island. Both sides discussed the matter on the fishing boat and did not allow anyone to get close to Jiaolong Village.
But there are always people who secretly sneak into the village, offering large sums of money to find out where the troops are strong and where they are weak, and there are always people who will fall for the bait and betray their homeland.
After resting on the shore, the Japanese soldiers obtained the defense map and decided to attack again, this time by night.
Xiong Bufan was not only a river pirate, but also a very good Taoist priest. Early in the morning, in order to prevent the Japanese from launching a night attack, he set up a formation with buoys at sea.
The Japanese soldiers, unaware of the formations, sailed their boats into the sea, only to find many ferocious creatures on board. These creatures relentlessly attacked the Japanese soldiers who showed signs of life, biting anyone they caught.
Every sea has people who died unjustly and could not be reincarnated, and this was especially true around Jiaolong Village.
The Japanese soldiers screamed in terror and kept firing at the monster, but the guns could only slow it down; they couldn't kill it at all.
The ship seemed to have entered a strange loop. No matter which way it went, the surroundings were shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see the direction or the location of Jiaolong Village.
The Japanese soldiers were in a panic. In order to get out of this predicament, they could only look around haphazardly. As a result, they seemed to bump into something. The thing made a familiar sound. It turned out that the Japanese ships had collided.
Xiong Bufan was fast asleep, while Jiang Yue was on the mountain. She rushed out as soon as she heard the first gunshot and was now looking through binoculars at the Japanese soldiers, where gunfire was deafening and boats were colliding repeatedly before finally capsizing in the sea.
Goten Ichiro would never forget that day when they were chased and bitten by monsters, and their ship was inexplicably capsized. He thought he would slowly die, but he was only unconscious. When he woke up, he was already in a strange country.
The people here speak a strange language. They bathe him and sing and dance around him. He thinks it's a unique welcoming ceremony. Although he misses his hometown and companions, he dances along to show he doesn't want to disappoint them and sings songs from his hometown.
In the end, Ichiro was stretched out in a starfish shape and slowly roasted over a fire. Bathing was just like washing vegetables, and singing and dancing were merely rituals before meals.
Jiang Yue kept watch all night, and when dawn broke, seeing that the Japanese soldiers hadn't even come close to Jiaolong Village, she gradually went back to rest.
Xiong Bufan was scolded by Kong Kong as soon as he got up in the morning. They were just passersby in this world and should not participate in the wars of this world. If they were discovered and driven out by the Heavenly Dao or the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, all their efforts in these worlds would have been in vain, and no world would be willing to let them in again.
Kongkong's fluffy fur is a very rare sight. Even if Xiong Bufan hadn't seen it, he could imagine Kongkong's fur standing on end, its eyes turning into vertical pupils, and the whole cat looking extremely aggressive.
After being scolded for a long time, Xiong Bufan poured a glass of water into his spatial storage and said ingratiatingly, "Kongkong, I just wanted to get rid of them. Why should we let them into our space? Besides, they really stink."
"Kongkong, drink some water first, to soothe your throat."
Kong Kong softened his tone and said, "The Heavenly Dao hasn't noticed yet, but we need to be careful not to set up formations next time."
"Okay, I know."
Kongkong sighed. She understood Xiong Bufan's thoughts. She had glanced at history and felt bitter and humiliated. Moreover, Xiong Bufan had lived in China for over a hundred years, so it was normal for him to be biased. But they also had to abide by the rules of the world.
Normally, if Xiong Bufan kills a few heinous people, Heaven will turn a blind eye. But if she kills thousands of people in one go, Heaven will definitely strike her with lightning and drive them out!
Xiong Bufan was sullen all morning, while Gao Ying was restless, constantly observing Xiong Bufan and Panpan, afraid that they would discover what she had done, but also wondering why there was no reaction after several days.
The man promised her that if they obtained Jiaolong Village, he would give her a lot of silver and appoint her as a high-ranking official, so that she would no longer have to serve others here.
Panpan's entire focus was on Xiong Bufan, and she didn't notice Gao Ying's unusual behavior. All she wanted to do was make Xiong Bufan happy; their leader should grow up happily and carefree.
In the first two battles, the Japanese had already lost nearly a third of their men before even landing on the island.
After reading the battle report, Songkou Guixi's superior threw it in Songkou Guixi's face and ordered him to take down Jiaolong Village within two months, or else commit seppuku.
Takaki Matsuguchi admitted that he had underestimated his opponent before, and this time he would be serious, for his own sake and for the sake of his dead men.
