Chapter 231: The First Battle with the Wakos
After sending Gu Pu away, Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao concentrated on grilling fish.
Salt, dogwood, and peppercorns are all brought, and these things are sprinkled on it, and the taste is just right.
After solving the problem of the Japanese invaders, it is time for the treasure ship to go overseas, and when the time comes, Xu Jing will have to get some chili peppers back.
This dogwood is always a little worse than the chili, and the taste of the roasted meat is also much worse.
Just as Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao were eating barbecue, a group of Japanese robbers landed in Jinxiang.
The army was stationed in Taizhou, not far from Jinxiang, and at this time the Japanese still dared to land in Jinxiang, which was clearly a provocation to the army of Pingwu.
Zhang Mao is not the kind of person who can be slaughtered, and after hearing the news, he immediately sent people to Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao to give the news.
Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao only relaxed when they were fine, how could they let them go back if they dared to provoke the door.
The two of them threw down the usual grilled fish and hurried to the camp.
When he arrived at the camp, Zhang Mao introduced: "There is a gang of Japanese robbers in Jinchuan who bypassed the guard post and entered Jinchuan City, and the army of the Japanese people is here. ”
Zhang Mao had already made an order to send troops, and Xie Zhi didn't say much, saying, "Let's go." ”
In fact, Xie Zhigo is also the most suitable, his identity as a deputy general, to start the first battle with the Ming Kou, can let the Ming Kou see the strength of the Ming army, but also boost the confidence of the Ming army and the people.
Before Xie Zhi's words fell, Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "The palace is also going, even if it is a pro-expedition, the palace can't stay in the camp all the time." ”
On top of this matter, Xie Zhi and Zhang Mao hesitated a little.
After all, Zhu Houzhao's identity is different, and his safety must be ensured first.
As soon as he saw Zhang Mao and Xie Zhi hesitating, Zhu Houzhao could guess their thoughts, and said without saying a word: "This battle must go to the palace, this is not to discuss with you." ”
Zhu Houzhao has a firm attitude and has no room for turnaround.
Zhang Mao still made up his mind and said: "It's okay to go, the first battle with the Japanese Kou will be personally participated in by His Royal Highness to defeat the Yu Japanese Kou, which is also a great encouragement to the officers and soldiers of our army, Yun Zhongbo, you accompany Your Highness to go here and protect Your Highness's safety." ”
Zhang Mao only said that Zhu Houzhao's participation in the war could inspire the soldiers, but he did not say that if Zhu Houzhao had three longs and two shortcomings, whether the matter of pacifying the Japanese would be able to continue.
Besides, it is much more difficult to protect Zhu Houzhao's safety than it is for the people who don't know about it.
Xie Zhi was full of embarrassment, but Zhu Houzhao volunteered: "This palace can protect itself." ”
Forget it, after all, it is a small group of Japanese robbers who have entered Jinchuan, and it is on their own territory, so Zhu Houzhao's safety is not much of a problem.
In the end, Xie Zhishen still responded, and said, "Okay, do your best." ”
After deciding, Xie Zhi went out of the big tent and ordered a hundred soldiers from the house to rush to Jinchuan by boat led by He Sanyou.
Zhu Houzhao was dressed in the armor of an ordinary young general, and he did not fly the flag of the East Palace.
Although there are only a small number of widows, if Zhu Houzhao's identity is exposed, Zhu Houzhao will have to be blackened.
It's always faster to travel by water than by land.
A small group of people could not use the big treasure boat, and directly used three small boats.
These three ships are flexible enough to deal with small groups of pirates.
However, if the boat came across, a cannon would come and all three boats would be overturned.
It was about an hour of effort, and the three small boats docked steadily along the coast of Jinchuan.
When I got to the shore, I saw smoke billowing from the houses in the distance, and whoever had nothing to do would light his own house, and nine times out of ten the fire was done by the wolf.
Xie Zhi jumped out of the boat first and went directly ashore along the water that was up to his neck.
After going ashore, he drew the sword at his waist and commanded the soldiers behind him: "Don't be polite to that widow, if you encounter it in the city, you can solve it directly." ”
Yun Zhongwei's soldiers are very well trained, but what they lack is actual combat experience after all.
This kind of engagement with the enemy's small forces can be tempered.
After going ashore, a group of 100 people went directly into the city.
When I entered the city, I could see the corpse in the street dressed as an errand official.
The shops on both sides of the street were open, and the goods inside were scattered all the time, and some of the shops were silent when they fell on the threshold.
Obviously, these shops were looted by the Japanese bandits.
Zhu Houzhao was a little angry, and scolded: "Damn it! ”
Seeing such a situation, anyone would be angry when they saw it, and Xie Zhi had to persuade Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, remember not to be impulsive." ”
Zhu Houzhao tightened the knife in his hand, replied, and said, "This palace knows." ”
Further down, there were more errand officials and ordinary people lying in the streets.
From the invasion of Jinchuan by the Japanese to the arrival of Xie Zhi with his troops, it was more than three hours at most, and these people may still have people with great lives alive.
Xie Zhi instructed the soldiers on the side: "Go and see if those people are still alive!" ”
Xie Zhi did not stop after giving the order, but led people to continue to search.
After all, the sooner they dealt with this group of pirates, the less the people below would be plundered.
Xie Zhi led people out of more than ten meters away, and those who were responsible for checking the surviving people chased after him and reported to Xie Zhi: "That Japanese knife technique is fast and accurate, everyone is killed with one sword, and no one is alive." ”
After a pause, Xie Zhi didn't say much, and waved his hand directly: "Continue the search." ”
After walking for about forty or fifty meters, I finally heard a gurgling bird.
Xie Zhi said, "It's a wolf." ”
Then he quickened his pace, rushed forward, and when he came out of the alley, he saw a group of four or five Japanese robbers carrying a large number of things in their hands, and they were walking forward with great power.
Look at it like this, the people on this street were all killed by these few pirates.
After seeing the situation clearly, before Xie Zhi gave an order, Zhu Houzhao said: "Go to the palace." ”
However, there are four or five Japanese robbers, Zhu Houzhao wants to go, and Xie Zhi didn't stop him, if he sees that Zhu Houzhao can't solve these Japanese robbers by himself, these more than 100 people, it's too late to go up directly to help.
Xie Zhi was not ready to refuse, and Zhu Houzhao didn't wait for Xie Zhi to respond, so he directly raised his knife and walked behind those few widows.
Although those few would-be robbers were immersed in the moment of getting carried away, they still reacted quickly when they noticed Zhu Houzhao's footsteps behind them.
When Zhu Houzhao approached, several would-be robbers quickly threw away the things in their hands, put on a posture, and surrounded Zhu Houzhao in a circle.
One against five, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit reluctant.
After Zhu Houzhao's knife was swung out, the five would-be robbers slashed at Zhu Houzhao together.
This guy was too conceited, his sword only blocked the attack of the two of them, and the other three's swords fell on him in unison.
When these would-be robbers wielded their second swords, Xie Zhi grabbed the firebolt from the soldiers behind him, fired three times in a row, and killed the three would-be robbers who had injured Zhu Houzhao.
With the firing of the fire and the fall of the copper plate, the two would-be wouldn't react for a moment.
Zhu Houzhao slashed at one of them in the neck.
Just as Zhu Houzhao was about to swing the second knife, Xie Zhi raised his fire and hit the man on the head.
As this person fell, Zhu Houzhao looked regretful.
Xie Zhi returned the firearm to the soldier and walked towards Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Hou looked at Xie Zhi and said with some excitement: "Xie Wu, this palace has also personally stabbed a widow." ”
As for it? Xie Zhi he has just solved four of them, he is not as showy as Zhu Houzhao.
Xie Zhi didn't comprehend Zhu Houzhao, but glanced at the wound on his body and asked, "Your Highness, this wound is not in the way, right?" ”
Zhu Houzhao glanced down at himself, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this is also the honor of this palace." ”
Zhu Houzhao is a bear child who has been spoiled since he was a child, but he is not squeamish at all.
Zhu Houzhao himself said that there was no problem, and Xie Zhi also saw that there was really no big problem.
Since the problem is not big, there is no time to do a bandage, and said: "Your Highness, the next time you encounter the Japanese Kou, you will solve it directly, and you don't need to talk to them about morality." ”
If he had solved it directly with the fire gun at the beginning, and had not had to have any competition with him, Zhu Houzhao would not have been injured.
Zhu Houzhao knew that his previous actions were a little inappropriate, so he didn't say much to Xie Zhi's words, and replied: "This palace knows." ”
Most of those Japanese robbers were born as samurai, and their sword skills were outstanding, not to mention that Zhu Houzhao was not his opponent, or even the average military general in the army had to work hard to win.
