The Wokou in Jingjiang County, holding matchlock guns, were in high spirits, their Japanese calls echoing throughout.
The Anti-Japanese Army huddled in the northeast corner of Jingjiang County, along with the locals, keeping silent and not daring to show their faces.
Luckily, a series of barricades temporarily blocked the Wokou's path, preventing them from advancing rashly, allowing the Anti-Japanese Army and villagers behind the barricades to catch their breath.
The Wokou dispersed, prowling around this corner searching for a breach.
Ten Wokou headed north along Chaoyang Street, suddenly spotting an alley unguarded by the Anti-Japanese Army, and immediately muffled their steps, creeping towards the barricade.
Just as they reached the front of the barricade, Yuan Xi suddenly poked his head out.
