This firepower setup has secured the small port as if it were an impregnable fortress!
It is evident that the lords of this land are incredibly wealthy!
Just think about it. With Wei having banned maritime trade, and having no ports for international commerce, this location leverages its geographical advantage near Wei’s Jiangzhe to attract all the merchant ships traveling to and from Southeast Asia to transit and gather here. Clinging to this golden goose, even if the lord were as dumb as a pig, he should be gilded by now.
"Hiss..."
Yang Ge swallowed his saliva, pulled Yang Tiansheng closer, and pointed to the left mud wall, "Yang, you take your skilled Ming Sect fighters from that side, clear all the Dongying pirates off the wall, block the reinforcements... wait for my signal!"
Yang Tiansheng followed his finger and nodded, "No problem!"
Yang Ge let go of Yang Tiansheng and turned to pull Xiang Wudi closer, pointing to the right mud wall, "Xiang, you lead your Xiang Family and the twelve zodiac brigades from that side, clear all the Dongying pirates, block the reinforcements... wait for my signal!"
Xiang Wudi looked over, turned around, and took down his parted halberd from the Thunder Leopard, "Watch me!"

Yang Ge waved goodbye as he walked away, then grabbed Zhou Fu with one hand and Li Jincheng with the other, "Once Yang and Xiang begin, the Dongying pirates at the main gate will go to support both sides. You guys lead the remaining brothers to charge forward, seize the gates... you can slow down on killing the men, but you must hurry to capture the cannons, we can’t let the Dongying pirates get a chance to fire!"
Zhou Fu rubbed his tingling forehead, incredulously asking, "Is it really that rough?"
Li Jincheng, "How about you then?"
Yang Ge, "I’ll cover you... although it’s not likely we’ll hit a snag as soon as we land, we still have to be prepared, right?"
Li Jincheng gave him a thumbs up, "Makes sense!"
Yang Ge let go of the two, reached over to Erhei’s back, and pulled down the cold moon treasure blade, "Go rally the brothers to get ready, once Yang and Xiang are in position, I’ll give the signal."
The two nodded, turned, and squeezed through to their own troops, greeting each member.
Soon, Yang Tiansheng and Xiang Wudi had their respective troops move to the designated positions.
Seeing this, Yang Ge leapt up high, transforming into a bright golden silhouette and flashing over a distance of tens of meters, appearing above the gate of the port’s wall: "Drink...break!"
The cold moon treasure blade unsheathed, sweeping up a thirty-meter-long golden light of sword qi, slashing it atop the gatehouse.
"Boom."
The rammed earth wall shattered, along with the beautifully decorated two-story octagonal pavilion atop it and the iron-wrapped gate below, all turned into rubble, stirring up dust several meters high.
In an instant, the sound of clashing metal surged, and a large number of armored Dongying pirates swarmed towards Yang Ge’s position; the bustling port also plunged into chaos suddenly, filled with panicked screams and shouts.
The three groups of troops waiting secretly for Yang Ge’s signal all exclaimed in unison, "Damn it!"
Yang Tiansheng, ’Damn, this guy is showing off again!’
Li Jincheng, ’Damn, he’s getting fiercer!’
Xiang Wudi, ’This guy... might just become the legendary Grandmaster right here!’
"Leader, attack!"
"Young master, beat them!"
Both groups of soldiers simultaneously drew their weapons, leaping onto the two-man high mud wall. The shining blade and sword lights stirred up sweeping splashes of blood as they forcefully pushed forward.
The pathway atop the mud wall was extremely narrow. The patrolling Dongying pirates held the advantage with long weapons and leather armors, yet these Middle Plains martial artists disregarding martial ethics, each wielding their sword qi and blade qi like splashing water, breaking swords and piercing armors, smashing heads into a bloody mess!
Behind them, Li Jincheng, watching his three friends show off, grew as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. Finally, as the troops on both sides advanced to the midpoint of the wall, he couldn’t hold back any longer, raising his silver spear and leading the charge, "Brothers, follow me, for gold, silver, and women..."
With the demeanor of a runaway dog, this frightened Wang Er who hastily followed him on horseback, "Young master, we can only loot gold and silver, not women, or the boss will break your legs!"
The three groups of troops vied with each other to reach the top of the wall, cutting down swathes of Dongying soldiers rushing to aid, pressing the Dongying pirates on the three walls back into the city. The hundred or so cannons arranged on the wall, unable to fire even once, ended up as mere decorations.
Yang Ge, who had rushed inside Hirado Castle ahead of the others, looked around the chaotic streets, waiting expectantly from one side to the other, until at last a few figures, moving as swiftly as fleas hopping across the uneven rooftops, approached rapidly.
With a swing of his sword qi that reached the sky, he blocked the path of these Dongying martial arts masters: ’All of you, drop dead, got it?’
"Bang Bang Bang Bang..."
Several shadows heavily landed on the street in front of Yang Ge, gripping their waist-mounted katanas and looking at him uncertainly.
Yang Ge casually glanced over.
Two figures dressed in red and black armor, carrying wild katanas, generals of the shogunate.
Three figures in samurai attire, wearing wooden clogs and carrying both a long and a short katana.
Two figures completely concealed in black garments, with katanas on their backs and crossbow arrows at their waists, ninjas...
Yang Ge scrutinized them as they also scrutinized him.
"Middle Plains man?"
"Wei man?"
"’Manifest Saint Real Monarch’ Yang Erlang?"
Though spoken in a stiff accent, the words were surprisingly clear.
Yang Ge looked incredulously at the shogunate general who had broken his cover, muttering ’Traitors deserve to die...’
But soon, he leapt up disdainfully with uncapturable afterimages, rushing towards the seven Dongying martial arts masters, "Me dad!"
