The Purple Sabre
Ranpo
In the army of Saegusa
There are only nine people have obtained the saber
General Naoecuo is one of them
But
You the youngest general
Who could get the honor
How are you going to set this saber?
Set?
I'll use it in the battle
Use it?
I heard that
the person who got the Purple Saber
will keep it well
I think that's a waste
Only when it is stained with blood, the saber can keep sharp
and vivid
OK
I am very impressed with your insight
You're the second person I've seen who can do this
Who is the first one
Me
So
I feel the same way as you
General Fuzi
This time you come to Minqing
I'm very happy
The scenery around here is very beautiful
I have arranged the trip
General Fuzi, let me
No need
We appreciate your kindness
In my eyes
The best scene
Is the blood
The blood of human
What a unique woman
Only you can enjoy that scene
I also heard that
Miss Fuzi's weapon
is also different
It's a porcelain knife
I'm always thinking
Miss Fuzi was holding a porcelain knife
Fighting on the battlefield
Others' blood is flying everywhere
What a beautiful picture that is
I'm tired
Take me to rest
That's fine too
The room is ready for you
I'll take you back
Miss Fuzi, please walk slowly
Have a good rest
Chongci General
The banquet is ready for you
No need
I want to go back and rest
Fuzi
She's always been so lukewarm
Yes, always
She even didn't ask the details of
our attack on two cities
As if she doesn't care
She is Ashikaga Yoshiishi's daughter
It's just a little thing
She doesn't care really
The distance between us is still too far
Ranpo
With all due respect
Actually you are very close to her
I think she seems very close
to Shangquan Chongci
Who is the Shangquan?
A son of a noble family
His family has a deep relationship
with the Ashikaga's family
Shangquan is the most powerful general
of the commander Ashikaga Yoshiishi
He has great commanding talent
He led the Ashikaga Yoshiki's
most elite troops
The influence and status
Are above the Saegusatutian Corps
How about his martial arts
He is the representative of the new Yinliu swordsmanship
New Yinliu
Right
In the Warring States Period
The famous swordsman
is Kamizumi Nobuzuna, the ancestor of Kamizumi Shigeji.
On the basis of the Eastern Japanese Yinliu Swordsmanship
New Yinliu was created
He established level method, for the junior, the superior
and the outsider
The new Yinliu prefers no knife
That is subduing opponents with bare hands
Its meaning is no killing
And win alive
A master never kills people?
He is really a master
In the army
He is recognized as the number one swordsman
No.1
So in the eyes of the public
Shangquan Chongci and Ashikaga Fuzi are a good couple
And he is already considered to be
the most suitable successor of Ashikaga Yoshiishi
He will become the leader of the new generation of Fujian region
I'd like to find a chance to meet him
General
Saegusa Ranpo asks you
What would you like to eat tonight
He prepared a lot of dishes
And he also hired a few cooks
It doesn't matter
General Fuzi
Saegusa Ranpo is really attentive to you.
Really?
Yes
He look at you differently
How different
He likes you
He likes me
I am a woman from the Ashikaga family
He is a Chinese
How dare he like me
But
No
What do you think of him
Minqing and Minhou, the two battles
were really well
Maybe he'll be a great general
Besides
General Ashikaga gave him the purple saber.
He must have admired him.
Zhanhao
Zhanhao
Brother
Someone is looking for you
Who?
You'll know
Just outside the mountain gate
You are
We are the representatives of the villager warriors everywhere
We come to Shaolin
For Lin Zhanhao, Hero Lin
Me
Hero Lin
We've heard
The war in Minqing
You also led the monk corps and the village warriors to fight in Minhou
But I lost
Hero Lin
Every one might be defeated
This time, We come here
We just want to fight under your leadership
Hero Lin , please accept us
Hero Lin, please accept us
Everyone
Thank you for your trust in me
But at this time
I can't accept the pressure
Last failure
makes me feel like I don't have the ability
So everyone
please come back
But
Hero Lin, Hero Lin
Don't leave, Hero Lin
Hero Lin
Well
Why don't you accept them
What are you afraid of
I'm not afraid. I just
You just haven't overcome the haze in your heart
I don't know how to deal with it
Zhanhao, you have to understand
As a general
It doesn't matter if you can win forever
It doesn't matter how to be powerful
What really matters is the cohesiveness
When you failed
You can gather up so many followers
That means you are a great general
You can give others hope
It's much harder than being a forever winner.
You've completed the hardest parts
Are you afraid of the easy parts?
Go out and accept them
You have to have the courage to be such a general
Master
Go
How about now
Should we keep waiting?
Hero Lin is out. He comes out.
Hero Lin, Hero Lin
Everyone
Zhanhao is willing to fight side by side with you
OK
That's great
Tianhuang Bracelet
It was made by first-class craftsmen
I specially gave it to General Fuzi
I hope General Fuzi can accept it
Thanks
Ranpo, goodbye
I'll be your escort
You don't have to
You take it
General , thank you
I see this Saegusa Ranpo
will be loyal to the general
How are you so sure
Because of you
Me?
Of course, it's because of you
Then he will be disappointed
Not only will he not be disappointed at this time
Instead, he will work harder
Really?
If you don't believe
Just wait and see the show
OK I'm waiting for a good show
Your martial arts are progressing rapidly
Among the monks of the Qu generation
There are few people can fight with you
You want to use Minqing as a stronghold
To further expand our sphere of influence
That's right
We have to accumulate more merits
To determine our status as a mighty army
There are three towns
With the harassment warfare
Let the Ming army and the village warriors be confusing
Nagano and I will lead the shadow warrior mobile unit
To raid them separately
In this way, the Ming Defenders and the village warriors
will be broken step-by-step
These towns
will be ours
Okay, let's start this plan
I'll go to my foster father's place
You go to see General Saegusa
We need to move the troops
So I should report to him
And I also want to know what he's thinking lately
Ranpo
I think
You don't have to ask General Saegusa, right?
Tell him after you get the town
Isn't it better
Nagano, please
Speak more clearly
I have some friends in other armies
They told me
General Saegusa Tutian
He is not there now
He went out?
A few days ago
General Ashikaga Yoshiishi
Gathered the main generals of each army
To discuss the military situation
I don't know about this
Who else went with the foster father?
Naoeyuan
And Megumi Shinichi
Who
Megumi Shinichi
Who is he in the Saegusa army
Why can he go there?
I understand
Because I am a Chinese
In the Japanese Corps
I'm still an outsider
Lord
Why do you shout
What happened
Several prisoners escaped
Did you catch them?
Yes
Go away
Pick up your knives
If you can defeat me, I'll let you go
You don't report
I want to fight now
In the battle of Minhou
Both the monk soldiers and the villagers were greatly injured
The Japanese pirates is getting more and more arrogant
Recently, they have frequently appeared in Huian Bay and Fuqing Bay.
They burnt the house, robbed the money and killed the people
I decided to fight against them
OK
We should fight against them long ago.
Zhanhao, how do we fight?
Although the Village Warriors has a large number of people
The fighting power is not strong
If we do the frontal attack
It would be hard to win
So I came up with a strategy
What
The large number of the Village Warriors is the main force
Put up a neat formation
Aggressively push on the enemy
Its purpose
is to shock the opponent
And I'll lead the Monk Corps and lay disciples
Attack them
Before the army
You mean
Let the large but weak troops
to scare them
Right
We have to make them feel scared
The Monk Corps is just for disturbing them
And the big army
is to hit the opponent psychologically
The main purpose of the battle is not to defeat the Japanese pirates
It is to make them retreat
Actively withdraw
OK
Once the pirates leave
We can only pretend to chase them
We can't get stuck into the war
Duhe
The tactics of the battle
Did you teach him that?
The power of the strategies is about the rhythm
I told him this
But I didn't teach him about the formation
then you mean
Zhanhao thought of it by himself
Do you think he can win
Did you see that I try to stop him?
No
So he must win
Must win
Let's top the topic, abbot
You promised to go to the vegetable garden
and pick some fresh vegetables with me
Let's go
Do you understand
Clear
General, you means
Attack on Xinghua, the important hub in Fujian
The back city is Quanzhou
Quanzhou has the Shaolin Monk Corps
So
This is a factor that has to be considered
Therefore,
General Ashikaga Yoshiishi
is hoping to let several armies
continue to carry out lateral strikes to the western region
and pull the battle line out of depth
Then weak the main force of the Ming army's defense
Garrison in different places
Reinforcement of Xinghua's forces
Concentrate superior forces at the end
Finally, we can occupy Xinghua
It's good that you can understand this
So what are we going to do?
Please order us
I think
We should preserve our strength
In this way, when attacking Xinghua
We can
Appear as the main force
Then the mission of
striking the weak part
I think
Saegusa Ranpo should be very aggressive
General
You come back in time
I just got an order
It's from Ashikaga Yoshiishi
What should we do
He let us take Minqing, Minjiang and Minhou as our stronghold
to expand in the west of Fujian
Mainly in the form of guerrilla warfare and harassment warfare
This tactic
Isn't that what the army does every day?
General Ashikaga Yoshiishi
Why does he send the order separately?
That's right
He also indicated to the west.
We don't care that much
Just do as his order
We just need to make sure
Accumulate more achievements
Surpass everyone
Go
Yes
Master
Master
Master
Zhanhao defeated Japanese pirates in Fuqing Bay and Hui'an Bay
and forced them to withdraw
I already know it
You know it?
Then do you know
Lin Zhanhao wins again
Of course I know
Lin Zhanhao's martial arts are strong
He also can command well
and he is the anti-Japanese hero
I heard that
Now many people are taking refuge in his army
Yeah yeah
Boss, how much is this narcissus
Free
Free for you
Thanks, thanks
Are you happy now
Happy
Won
Master
This time , the war was very hard
A narrow defeat
But, luckily
This time the enemy is a gang of bandits
They were vulnerable
So I didn't stop you
You need a victory to boost morale
Master, you are right
If the enemy
has enough power
Then they won't retreat
If they didn't retreat
We would be passive
If they fight back
We must fail
Not stupid
Master
It seems that
I have to learn more from you in the future
Of course you have to
Later you need to learn the Song Tactical Formation
Ten formations of Song Dynasty
You have to learn all of them
Ten formations
You're going to lead your troops westward
Yes, father
Father
You ordered every troop
to go west
Of course I can't lose to others
OK
You go west along the Minjiang River
To Youxi area
Wait, father
I want to go with Shangquan Chongci
Go with him
No
His army has another important mission
Zhanhao
Do you know that
A lot of people are talking about you now
You are strong in martial arts
You commanded the battle well
And you are the hero of the anti-Japanese war.
Zhanhao, what's wrong with you?
I've been struggling with one thing recently
There are more and more warriors from the countryside
But there are few of them
who have the martial arts foundation
Especially archers
There are lack of those kinds of people
Even if we train hard
It still has no result
But there is no other way
Even myself
The technique in this regard is also very normal
Zhanhao
Aren't you good at using slingshots?
Yes
Can slingshots be turned into weapons?
Slingshots
You mean
Use slingshot instead of crossbow
Brother, try hard, as far as you can
How is that? Brother
Zhanhao
Is it alright now?
But the lethality of the slingshot
Can it be better than a crossbow?
No
So we have to change it
The speed, distance
and the strength need to be changed
Replace stones with steel balls
And shoot double balls once
Well
Really good
The most important thing is
This is easy to learn
and easy to carry
The first formation of the Ten Formations
Straight Snake Formation
Once attacked the head and tail of the formation
Then it can turn into the Two Dragons Formation
Dash to the center
It is the formation of the Three Talents Formation
Kill
Kill
Kill
Kill
Attack them, be quick
Be fast and accurate in attack
What I just said was the third formation of Song Formations.
See
How many people are the best for this formation?
Nine
Hold it like this
Then catch it
Watch the target at the same level
The shield
Can block the arrows and spears of Japanese pirates
The rattan shield soldiers are equipped with a javelin and waist knife
Can be responsible for covering the team's progress
They can melee the enemy
Put your hand lower
The general told you to go to Youxi, the west of Minqing
Yes
That's what he thought
What do you think
Minqing is the resident of Saegusa Ranpo
Close to Youxi
He thinks that
If you meet a stronger enemy
Saegusa Ranpo can reinforce you as soon as possible
Do I need his reinforcements?
Didn't he just win two battles?
Now, he is the undefeated general?
Why didn't father let us two
go out together
He asked me not to take part in the westward war
Can't participate
All armies are involved in the westward campaign
Only me
Slow down and go to Xinghua
You don't know
The basic purpose of
the general's westward march
I get it now
Father wants to open the depth of the war
Then gather up to attack Xinghua
You are smart
Since Gathering up
Of course, the heavy department will arrive as soon as possible.
Zhanhao
You see this symbol , does it meet your requirements
Brother
You make it so soon
Yes
Okay, throw something
What
Whatever, hurry up
OK
Throw it away
Look
Good
I think we can try it in real fight
Yeah, I think so
Brother, what did you throw?
Water bag
Who told you to throw my water bag
Didn't you just let me throw anything?
Well
Zhanhao
Play chess
Master
I'm not good at chess
I'm afraid I can't make you happy
Do it
Zhanhao
Now more and more people are rushing to Quanzhou
for you
Do you know why
since the last time
We gained frequent victories
near the coast
It should be that
Everyone sees hope
Yes
Especially you
Quickly got out of the haze after the defeat of Minhou
Declared The strength of the Monk Crops and the Village Warriors
with a series of victories
It makes more people
Have the confidence in you
Now you are a real general
I decided to let you lead the Shaolin Monk Corps
I
You have no courage
or no confidence
Just do it, Zhanhao
Master
I must lead the Monk Crops to fight against the Japanese with full strength
General
This Saegusa Ranpo has won many times.
I learned something about him
This Saegusa Ranpo would train his soldiers extremely harsh
The rewards and punishments are very clear
His troops fought like a hurricane
He gained great victories in battles
For his recent victories
He has accumulated a lot of troops and wealth
His current strength cannot be underestimated.
General, I'm afraid this is bad for your position
Shit
Who is he
A little Saegusa Ranpo will not threaten my status
Gain so much
You commanded soldiers so great
Commanding operations is even more proficient
It is my honor to be able to follow you
We will definitely follow you
Well, work hard in the future
Yes
How is Naoeyuan recently?
Few actions, he is still waiting
I knew he was a jerk
No one in the army can compare with me
Fine, I'm not in a hurry
I want to see when Saegusa Tutian can let me replace Naoeyuan
What's wrong? Zhanhao
Recently, Japanese pirates have been plundering villages in the west in batches
I was just about to tell you about this
Especially the Saegusa armies
They made more impact and damage
Now when people hear the name of Saegusa Ranpo
They will be afraid
The most annoying thing is that
All the Ming troops were horrified when they saw Saegusa's flags
They all stay in the city and refuse to fight
In the end, it is the people who suffer most
Zhanhao
Abbot Lingding invites you to go back to Shaolin
Back to Shaolin
Yes
Master, I'm back
Zhanhao is back
You are Lin Zhanhao
Yes
Zhanhao, haven't you always wanted to see him?
He is Yu Dayou
Brother Dayou
Nice to meet you
Young hero
Brother, you overpraise me
Dayou is back to visit relatives
He just came over today to see Duhe and me
I heard that you also learned the art of war with Master Duhe
Zhanhao only learned a little
How would you deal with the Japanese army's westward tactics?
I think Ashikaga Yoshiishi's plan
Going west is virtual, Xinghua is the real target
He's trying to lead us to west for reinforcements
Then the defenders will be pulled away
Then you don't go for reinforcements
If we do that
Ashikaga Yoshiishi will succeed
If no reinforcements
The people of the west will be miserable
So I'm going to let the main force
Stay in Quanzhou
I led a few elite troops to the west
Start the guerrilla war with him
To save people
It seems that you have achieved the essence of Master Duhe.
Thanks for your praise
Master
I'm going back to Zhejiang today
Is the military situation so urgent?
I just got the news
The master Chaiyu Lixin will come to Fujian
Chaiyu Lixin
Fifteen days later
He will take a boat from Changguo County, Zhejiang Province to Ningde
This man knows how to command soldiers
He isn't an ordinary man
And he is also the descendant of the Liusheng family.
His swordsmanship is excellent
Known as the first swordsman of the Japanese army
With his support ,Ashikaga Yoshiishi
will be even more powerful
Master
I'm going back to prepare to deal with Chaiyu Lixin
I can't stay here to help you drive the enemy away.
Military is emergent, hurry up
Chaiyu Lixin
Do we run out of talents ?
Why did Ashikaga Yoshiishi send such a person here?
As far as I know
Chaiyu Lixin is an old friend of Ashikaga Yoshiishi
He suffered a lot in Jiangsu and Zhejiang area
Ashikaga Yoshiishi invited him
Of course he would be happy
By the way, he is the master of the new Yinliu Sword .
New Yinliu
Again
Isn't this Shangquan Chongci from the new Yinliu?
And he's also known as the first master in the military
Then you say which of the two is more powerful
They never fought with each other
It's hard to determine
But as saying goes
They are both powerful
It seems that Chaiyu Lixin is better
Then he looks like a master
I always think
Which one is more powerful, me or Shangquan
You two never fought with each other
I can't sure
I really want a chance to fight with him
